Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

23. Clues that were almost missed

"So that's why you came to me?"

Cyber ​​drank the tea slowly and turned to look at Father Angela and Hannahsi who were sitting across from him, "Because your sister may believe in the son of a certain evil god, or is her death related to the son of this evil god?"

His fingers are beating on the table,

"Listen to me, Angela, this matter has nothing to do with me now. Another organization has taken over this important task, so you should go to them."

He looked at Angela,

"Also, if you say that you have found the black hand behind the scenes but can't get rid of it, then if I am in a good mood, I will help you. You say you don't want to find anymore and want to return to mortal life, I will bless you, but I'm not interested in listening to these things, I'm not interested in being a detective, going out of the cocoon...Listen, girl, I am a very simple person, I prefer to solve problems straightforwardly, do you know what I mean ?"

Angela nodded. After making Bassazzo personally, this former detective grew up at an amazing speed. In just one night, he had a kind of calmness beyond his age, coupled with superb Talent, this is bound to be a good fighter in the future, but Cyber ​​has no idea to recruit her.

He knew very well that Angela would not be able to leave New York with him at least until Isabella's matter was resolved. Frankly speaking, Cyber ​​had no interest in this matter.

His relationship with Angela was not good enough to help her be born to death. Angela gave him the information he needed. He untied Angela’s bondage to himself and gave her a different future. The two were cleared, and even said that Cyber ​​had made a loss-making transaction, and he paid significantly more.

"Then where should we go for help?"

Father Hannahsi, who was more steadfast, said, "Daddy Midnight's bar is destroyed. If he is still there, we can go to him. Now... we have nowhere to go."

Hearing this, Saber shrugged and leaned back in his chair, closing his eyes.

"The road will always exist. It depends on whether you can find it... Go to Greenwich Village. If you are lucky enough, you will find someone who can help you. Their strength is much stronger than mine."

Giving people directions is just a matter of hand. Cyber ​​doesn’t mind giving them a hope. After Angela and Father Hannasi left, he lay on the roof of the villa, basking in the sun comfortably. This will be him. For the last day in New York, Sergey and the others have returned to Gotham, and Cyber ​​will return to their hometown tomorrow.

The mixed races were frightened by the slaughter, they ran away, and what Cyber ​​should have done was done, and the good peaceful time had come. He didn't mind experiencing the leisurely rhythm of life in the gap.

However, just 2 hours later, a portal opened silently in the hall behind Cyber. Strange, with a serious face, walked to the balcony and looked at Cyber, who had already fallen asleep. He patted on his shoulder, and the next moment he was hit by a huge force on his chest, and the whole person was pressed to the ground.

"boom"

With a loud noise, when Cyber ​​opened his eyes in a daze, he saw that he was stuck in Strange's neck. Doctor Strange was struggling frantically, but he couldn't get rid of his restraint. He froze for a while, Doctor Strange let go and said lazily,

"It's dangerous to approach someone with beast-awareness...you should be glad I don't have claws or other sharp objects in my hand..."

To be honest, Strange was also taken aback by the swift attack just now. It was hard to imagine that it was just a counterattack made by instinct. He couldn't help but touched his neck.

"Well, I will say hello in advance next time. I'm here to ask you something."

Cyber ​​took out a glass of iced juice from the refrigerator and looked at Strange while drinking, "What's the matter?"

"About this symbol!"

Strange took out a piece of paper from his arms with a dark red emblem superimposed on a cross and a circle.

"Uh...no."

Cyber ​​rubbed his forehead and lay on the sofa, "At least I haven't seen it. What's wrong, is there any problem with this symbol?"

Doctor Strange put the paper away, turned around and took out a glass of juice for himself from the refrigerator.

"How should I put it, it is still not sure if this is a problem. One hour ago, the girl named Angela who was next to you entered the sanctuary. She claimed that her sister died of a demon possessed. During the accident, Mage Hognes paid much attention to this matter, and then we discovered this symbol... the symbol of Mammon, based on what this guy has done in the past 300 years..."

Strange sighed and said with an annoyed look.

"This is probably a symptom of a long-planned cross-border incident. Damn it, these things can't be handled at all. I plan to travel to Europe with Palmer in a few days. Now it seems that I will be busy for a long time. "

"Out of bounds?"

Saibo's expression became weird, "Similar to the witch heart demon? These bastards still want to enter the world?"

"Well, almost."

Strange nodded, then patiently explained,

"You already know that because of the existence of the supreme mage, those gods and demons can only enter the world by the way their soul descends into the carrier. They are those mixed races. I probably know about the cross-border you dealt with in Las Vegas. The demon obviously forcibly rushed into the world from the border of hell as a physical entity...so its threat would be greater."

"But judging from this incident, Mamen, the son of darkness, planned an ordinary arrival. Angela's sister, the girl named Isabella, should be the carrier he chose for himself. To be honest, this Such things happen every day, but unlike other demons, Mamen’s threat is obviously greater."

"Oh? How to say?"

Cyber ​​is interested in these babbles, but he wants to listen to stories more, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, looking at Strange, "Come on, tell the story of this bastard."

Strange took out a simple silver pocket watch from his arms and checked the time.

"Well, well, we have 20 minutes left, enough to finish."

After speaking, he cleared his throat.

"Mamen... claims to be the son of darkness. He is actually very similar to the witch heart demon you killed last time. I mean the birth. The witch heart demon is Mephisto's child, and Mammon is... Lucifer’s children, uh, are not born naturally. Lucifer is one of the rulers of hell. Mammon was born with his sins, more like an incarnation."

Doctor Strange's fingers drew a very ugly image of a devil in the air, which looked like an ordinary walking corpse, except for the dark energy that was wrapped around his body.

"Look, this is it, it's ugly, and the guy's own strength is not worth mentioning, but his ability is very weird. In history, Mamen has crossed the boundary 7 times, and each time it was accompanied by large-scale riots and turmoil. It can easily affect people's hearts, evoke desires, and distort the moral and legal concepts in people's hearts. The evil we know is his best weapon."

Strange took a sip of juice and leaned on the sofa.

"This is still an extremely narcissistic conspirator. It is said that in the "Hell Bible" circulating in hell, he called himself "the king of the future and the present". He said that he would transcend the cowardice of the hell masters and reopen the road The gate of the world, and then led a group of demons to attack this world, a very arrogant guy.

Saibo nodded clearly.

"Uh... an instability factor spreader, no wonder the old man pays so much attention to it, so what are you going to do? Just kill him?"

Strange scratched his hair.

"Uh, no! We plan to purify Isabella's body directly, and erase all uncertainties before he descends on the poor girl... It has been a troubled time recently, and the ghost knew that Mamen’s crossover would be here. What kind of consequences will happen when you are sensitive, so be safe."

"I came to you for this purpose."

Strange knocked his fingers on the table, "We have to make sure that Mamen has no other carriers besides Isabella."

"It should be gone."

Saibo touched his chin, "The hybrid bastards are all gone. In other words, is there anything special about this carrier that carries the soul of the gods and demons? And that hell ritual."

"For ordinary demons and holy spirits, there are no restrictions, but for special demons like Mammon, the steps for them to choose a carrier are very complicated, otherwise it would be impossible for them to have only appeared 7 times in 300 years."

Strange stood up and patted his clothes.

"I'm just doing my best. Actually, Mage Hognes doesn't think Mammon is so lucky to find two carriers that can carry his soul at the same time. Okay, the matter is over. I should go back. You will go back to Gotham tomorrow. I won’t give it to you. I’m about to blow up my head recently by monitoring those magical objects."

"Wonderful thing? What's that?"

Cyber ​​sent Strange to the balcony and asked curiously, "Is there something weird?"

"To be precise, it's something very no fun!"

Strange curled his lips, "Some items made by powerful wizards or flowing from gods and demons need to be monitored. Once they fall into the hands of talented mortals, they will cause a lot of trouble. In fact, There are a lot of strange things around the world, and most of Kama Taj’s power has been used to monitor the existence of these strange things."

"such as?"

Saber asked, Strange stopped and pondered for a moment.

"For example, Nicholas Flamel’s alchemy stone...we usually call it the Philosopher’s Stone. In folklore, this thing is said to make people immortal, but in fact, its role is more terrible than that of eternal life. It is used to suppress the secret realm where the descendants of the Nordic frost giants live. Once it is stolen, the Nordics will be instantly wiped out."

"For example, Merlin's "Book of Beasts", the sacred scriptures of the druids, are said to come from the obliterated Celtic god system, which can give ordinary people command and incarnate the power of beasts. It sounds no threat, right? But think Thinking about it, if that guy drove the fire dragon hiding in the secrets of Ireland to attack the human world, or a fire breathing dragon appeared on the streets of Manhattan...that would be another disaster."

Strange rubbed his forehead.

"The thing was sealed in the London Sanctuary before, but now it is placed in New York, where Mage Hognes personally guards it. In fact, "The Book of Solomon" is considered a magical object, and it contains enough seals and knowledge. The orthodox mage learns that there is also a magic circle that summons seventy-two pillars of gods and demons, but it is not as strong as it is said. It is more a symbol of knowledge."

"Sounds boring, just like a toy."

Saibo curled his lips, "Isn't there anything more powerful?"

"More powerful?"

Strange grabbed his hair. "Does the spear of destiny count? The spear that stabbed Christ is said to be able to subdue everything within 120 feet. When held by a powerful psychic, it can still Unlock all the restrictions in this world, it can be called the most terrifying weapon in mythology...wait!"

Doctor Strange's expression suddenly became strange. He seemed to think of something. He took a step back and sat on the chair where Cyber ​​was placed. He grabbed the hair on both sides of his forehead and looked more and more irritable. It's as if something disturbing occurred suddenly.

After a while, he suddenly turned to look at Cyber.

"You said, this thing has disappeared for decades, but suddenly appeared at this time, coupled with its weird ability, is it a bit too coincidental?"

"Oh?"

Cyber ​​snorted, and he patted Strange on the shoulder with a weird expression. "If you have to ask me, I will say... In this kind of thing, there is probably no real coincidence. You are in great trouble, please allow me to make a sad face."
