"These dead bodies are gone, but it can still be seen from the fragments of clothing that they should all be mage apprentices."
Su Ming turned the God Killer back into a scimitar, picked up a blood-stained rag on the ground, and looked at it in front of his eyes. These were ordinary linen cloths, and formal mages basically wore silk. Plus rags.
The blood stains on the cloth have not yet completely dried, indicating that the massacre occurred not long ago.
On the other hand, this is good news, because the apprentices' combat effectiveness is not very high. What they can't handle doesn't mean Su Ming can't handle it either.
But with Gu Yi's character, it is impossible to watch her apprentice die so easily, but she is obviously unable to stop it. Why is this?
Holloway shook his head and looked up at the stairs leading up, which were also stained with blood: "What to do next? This place is much scarier than the witch's cabin I saw in fairy tales."
"You haven't caught up with the good times. In fact, Master Gu Yi is still very refreshing." Su Ming shrugged, dropped the rag and made a cold joke.
Of course, the bald head looks refreshing, but Holloway needs to meet Gu Yi to understand this joke.
The temple seemed very quiet, there was no sound of fighting, but it was this silence that made people feel very bad.
If we followed the style of a general horror movie, everyone would have to split up to look for survivors or clues. However, Su Ming has always been a staunch resister of splitting up troops. If he still split up to investigate in this situation, he would be in trouble.
The temple is a three-story building with a basement. If the sewers are drilled down, it will be the old winery from the Su Ming Prohibition period.
In the comics, the basement is the prison and boiler room, the attic is Doctor Strange's living room, and the rooms on the middle floors are basically guest rooms or showrooms.
There are also a lot of space folding areas, or passages to alien planets, and plane rifts, and it is completely unclear where they are going.
The actual structure is completely unknown, but there should be plenty of things.
Now is the time when Gu Yi is the leader. Su Ming, the mage resident in the New York Temple, has never been heard of at all. Gu Yi only comes here once in a while. Most of the time there is only one archmage and a bunch of magic apprentices.
The plan was to find the stationed mages and ask them to send him to Karma Taj to meet the Ancient One. After all, Su Ming had been their neighbor for so many years. He didn't expect that this would be the case now.
"Let's go to the library on the second floor first, which is the teleportation hub and the reception room, and see if we can find any clues... The most important thing is, follow me."
Su Ming still remembered that when he came to the temple last time, he saw many mural-like portals in the reception room. Maybe someone would escape there?
The doctor nodded. He also felt that it would be better for the two of them to act together, at least they would not be driven crazy by the too quiet environment and become suspicious.
The two of them walked up the stairs. These wooden stairs also made no sound at all, but the blood on them made a sound of treading water when they stepped on it.
The space here has obviously been expanded by magic. The inside of the building is much larger than what is seen from the outside, but the scene in the reception room and the front hall are similar. The surroundings are messy, covered with bloodstains, and there are also no corpses.
But here, Su Ming found clues. He found that the magic items originally displayed here were still there, which showed that the intruders did not come to plunder magic items.
Then the probability that the intruder might be a mage is greatly reduced. As long as he is not dealing with inexplicable magic, Su Ming himself is still somewhat sure.
The most conspicuous display case was smashed, and the magic floating cloak fell to the side, pressed by some broken glass and rotten wood.
Su Ming walked over and picked up the cloak.
This thing, like Su Ming's God Killer, has self-thinking. Although it behaves more docile than a weapon, it shouldn't be like this - it hangs softly in Su Ming's hand, like a red bath towel.
"Cloak, cloak, you can't die. Tell me, who killed the mages?"
The cloak is just a piece of cloth now, how can it possibly answer him? Even in its normal state, it cannot speak.
Dr. Holloway narrowed his eyes, a little suspicious of Deathstroke's mental state. Talking to a cloak was not something a normal person would do, right?
Why not continue to look for other clues?
He walked up to Su Ming and said in a low voice: "It passed away. I'm sorry."
Su Ming rolled his eyes. It has never been angry, okay?
I just wanted to see what was going on with the magic floating cloak and tell it a joke to see if it would react, but now I feel like I'm mentally ill.
Su Ming waved his hand, indicating that he was alert to the surroundings. He wanted to see what was going on with the magic floating cloak. In its current state, it seemed that it had lost its energy support and turned into an ordinary item.
Su Ming himself does not know magic, but repairing something and making it work again is nothing more than a process of trying all the methods he can think of.
There is no magic, but there are many items with energy on him.
First, try the God Killer. It contains the power of Vulcan. Vulcan is the god of forging. He has created tens of thousands of magic items. There are probably hundreds of magic cloaks and sheets. And the God Killer also has
Self-aware, maybe they can communicate?
He turned the God Killer into a stick, wrapped it in a cloak and rubbed it up and down quickly. You could see tiny electric sparks exploding from the cloak.
There was no other reaction, and even the killing thoughts coming from the Godslayer were exactly the same as before.
Well, it seems that divine power won't work, consciousness communication has been ruled out, and frictional electrification has also been ruled out.
Then let's try X metal, the original material of the DC world, which contains extremely powerful energy. Maybe a huge amount of energy can restart it?
He picked a bright spot from the night sword and placed it on the cloak. The material that was originally a metal particle immediately melted away, wrapping the cloak and emitting a burst of bright light.
The silvery glare looked warm and bright, making people feel a lot better in the mixed gray world, but soon the light disappeared, and the x metal turned back into a metal particle and stayed on the cloak.
It cannot be said that it is useless. X Metal repaired some of the worn corners of the cloak and made it a lot cleaner.
But now it is still an ordinary cloak. Well, I will charge Master Gu Yi a laundry fee later.
Put away the
Su Ming reached for the carrying equipment behind his waist. He planned to use the black light battery to try it. This cloak was a dead thing. Maybe it would react to the black light?
But when he was fumbling around in the bag, he first came across some small balls.
Those gems that Dr. Manhattan gave him back then have still not been found to have any use. The only known information now is that they are polymers of some kind of energy.
After a long period of research to no avail, he simply put it in his uniform's carrying equipment, together with the black light battery that was usually not in use.
But if I touch it at this time, it may be the will of God.
He took out one, tossed it in his hand, looked at the cloak in his other hand, and thought about it.
