The strangulation kept sending pleasant thoughts and endless desire to kill. Su Ming had to temporarily pause several times to calm down before continuing to work.
And Monaco vomited even more after watching the monster on Deathstroke devouring creatures hundreds of times his size.
As a mage, he often sees all kinds of weird creatures when projecting into the astral world, and many people are unknowingly attached to them from another dimension.
In the eyes of Deathstroke, the quaint streets of London are like colorful jungles in Monaco's eyes. Human beings are never alone.
If a mage goes out with his 'astral vision' on, he can see many people walking on the street carrying giant centipedes or other-dimensional creatures like starfish.
All kinds of plants from other dimensions are clinging to the surrounding buildings, material parasites from the third dimension, as mottled as sunken ships on the seabed.
These extra-dimensional creatures feed on human emotions, and plants accelerate the weathering of buildings, but most of them have little impact on health.
Only a few of them can harm humans. It is not a big deal for ordinary people to lose some emotions. Emotions are renewable resources, and the British are known for their politeness.
In the past, when I started chatting with acquaintances, I would always talk about the weather. After some of my emotions were sucked away, I still talked about the weather. So what’s the difference?
In most cases mages will ignore them.
This matter is related to the balance of dimensions, and the mage will only expel those that are harmful to human beings.
But the difficulty lies in convincing ordinary people to accept the exorcism ritual.
Not everyone believes this. Monaco was better off when he was young. There was a market for magic and witchcraft before the Victorian era.
In recent years, with the development of science, more and more people no longer believe in occultism.
If he stopped a person on the street and told him that he was being possessed by an invisible insect from another dimension, sucking his soul and blood, who would believe him? It would be a good thing if he didn't call the police.
In the eyes of many people, science and occultism are opposites. Among all occult theories, they only believe in the existence of God, but this cannot be proven.
Therefore, Monaco has been closed for business for the past hundred years. That is, if someone feels uncomfortable due to parasitism and comes to Monaco for exorcism, he will perform some rituals for a fee.
And if he didn't have such customers, he wouldn't go to the streets to do charity. After all, he couldn't use magic to deal with the police. If he was caught, he would end up in the Tower of London.
But now, even though he has dealt with many kinds of extradimensional creatures in the past, none of them can directly affect people's minds and wills like the one in front of him.
He vomited because he felt dizzy even on horseback, as if something was pulling his brain around and spinning wildly.
Su Ming felt that these monsters were very quiet, but Monaco saw the world differently from him. For the sake of safety during action, the mage always kept his soul vision open.
The noise of these monsters and the screams before death are like drills drilling into the mage's soul.
When Strangler stuffed the tentacles into his mouth, the mage seemed to see countless eyes and small mouths sprouting from those tentacles, screaming incessantly.
Monaco was very sane, and he knew that he was just suffering from the backlash of his spiritual vision. He could still hold on, but he once again deeply understood that sometimes ignorance is happiness.
Su Ming also paid attention to the mage's situation. Although Monaco looked very embarrassed, his complexion was rosy and shiny, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
Besides, when you see a monster from the 'Cthulhu' system, isn't it normal to vomit?
All investigators are the same. They get used to it after spitting it out, and maybe they can suddenly understand the wisdom of the ancient gods. The ancient gods don't have any concept of friend or foe. Isn't their power also power?
Velasco encountered a situation where he could not distinguish between friend and foe.
He kidnapped and raped Dante's girlfriend and killed her, and Dante came to him for revenge.
The ancient gods didn't know what they were thinking, or they didn't think at all. When Belasco prayed to them for power, the ancient gods added this power to Dante.
The former thin poet defeated the lord of hell with just a few moves. The ancient gods also very considerately helped Dante seal the devil. It was not until decades after Dante died of old age that Velasco was released by an accident.
Thinking about it made him feel aggrieved. He had no way to settle accounts with the ancient gods, so he could only swallow a bitter pill.
This is just plain bad luck, the ancient gods are not targeting anyone, they have no concept of this.
When dealing with the invasion of other hell lords, Belasco was very lucky. Whatever power he wanted, the ancient god would give him that power.
But if he wants to deal with the heroes from Earth, then he will have bad luck with the dice at the critical moment. The ancient gods will always backstab him and make his wish come true in the opposite way.
For example, he was surrounded by police, but he didn't want to admit defeat.
Therefore, he arranged a ceremony and prayed to the ancient gods, 'I don't want to have any more enemies in front of me!', which meant that he asked the ancient gods to help him kill all his enemies.
The ancient gods realized this wish, and the way it was realized was that Belasco was manipulated to apologize to the heroes...
The X-Men all have Mary's disease, and the Hell Lord cannot be killed. If the goal of saving people or saving the world is achieved, there is no need to be hostile anymore.
So with the greeting from the Lord of Hell, the X-Men happily traveled back through time.
In this way, Velasco indeed has no enemies, and his wish comes true.
Su Ming is actually somewhat interested in the power of the ancient gods. After all, they are the source of many black magics. As long as you don't get too obsessed with forbidden knowledge, this power can be used to do many seemingly impossible things.
It's a pity that his own hardware conditions are not enough, he doesn't know magic, and his mind is protected by metal, so he is basically insulated from the ancient gods. He can't hear the whispers in his ears, and he can't dream of R'lyeh under the sea.
Not an investigator.
Besides, Marvel’s ancient gods are somewhat specious, and this is not the orthodox world of Cthulhu.
Marvel introduced the concept of Cthulhu just as a background. There are very, very few Outer Gods who are still active today. Except for Sithorne, the "Great Shadow", who is somewhat famous as a member of the Old Gods, he is relatively famous.
It's Dr. Strange's old enemy Shumaglass, also known as the Beholder.
The Beholder is one of the gods from extra dimensions. He can play tricks on Doctor Strange and has no choice but to commit suicide to escape reality.
As the pinnacle of Marvel's Outer God system, Azathoth is engraved on the background board and cannot be detached. The blind and foolish leader of the Outer Gods is always enjoying rock music in an unknown corner.
"What abilities have you acquired? Have you learned any new skills?"
Su Ming only paid attention to the mage for a short time, and he was relieved when he saw that Monaco was not crazy.
At this time, he was standing in a clean and empty cave, taking off his helmet to smoke and take a rest. It must be said that these tentacles were slippery and sticky, and the weapon was not very powerful when cutting them. Every attack had to calculate the angle. Within a few minutes, he
I have calculated it thousands of times and feel a little upset.
He casually put the weapon on the ground, touched his chest and asked about strangulation. If there was something gained at this time, his mood would be much better.
Strangler didn't know how to describe the newly acquired ability, so he could only demonstrate it to the host.
First, it activated its local deformation ability, allowing one of Su Ming's hands to wear an Odin-style golden armor. Then it secreted a mysterious viscous liquid from the surface of the golden armor.
"It seems that it has enhanced some defensive capabilities in disguise. It seems to be of no use. On the contrary, it seems more greasy when the ability is activated."
Su Ming curled his lips and complained.
Both Strangler and himself have the ability to heal themselves. Now the purpose of the icon armor's existence is just to prevent it from being penetrated by bullets.
After all, Su Ming is not Wade, and he doesn't want to come back looking shabby every time he goes on a mission. Even if he can heal himself, it is not good to be riddled with bullets or blown up to the point of being left naked.
Strangulation plus defensive power only makes it more difficult for the opponent to break free when it strangles people with its tentacles in the future.
The symbiote felt some grievances coming from it. The new ability was disliked by the host. It seemed that it was not very good, so it immediately showed the second kind.
It grabbed a stone from the ground, and a mouth grew out of its tentacles to hold the stone. After a few seconds, it spit out its long tongue to show Su Ming that the stone was completely digested by it.
"Hmm, the ability to swallow inorganic matter? If I encounter a situation where I need to dig up mountains and clear roads in the future, I don't need to use God Killer to dig out it myself."
Su Ming nodded and confirmed it. This ability is not very useful, but at least it is more useful than the previous one. Everything must be compared.
Strangler's big white eyes narrowed. He was very happy after being praised, but his demonstration was not finished yet.
It stretched out another tentacle, swung it in front of Su Ming a few times like magic, suddenly transformed the tentacle into the shape of a stone, and then tapped Su Ming's breastplate with it.
"Dangdang"
"Oh? The ability to imitate the arrangement of atoms? This would be very useful."
Although the appearance of previous Strangler imitations can change, such as turning into a suit or armor, the essence is still the same, cold and soft symbiote tissue, and anyone who comes into contact can detect the difference.
But now, after swallowing the stone, it can imitate and transform part of its limbs into the elemental composition of the previous stone, thereby directly changing itself in terms of material.
This is awesome.
Su Ming's first reaction was to give it a piece of x metal to eat.
Unfortunately, although metal
If x metal can't be eaten, then it shouldn't be able to eat the stones that were originally lamp rings and are now gems, so there's no need to try.
Things containing energy cannot do that. Its ability is to imitate simple material composition, and energy cannot be produced in vain.
Even so, Strangler has been greatly enhanced. After all, there is no limit to the growth of the symbiote. Maybe it can go further in the future?
"Well done, I'll take you to Chinatown to eat fish head with chopped pepper when I get back."
Su Ming gently stroked the strangled tentacles, just like stroking a cat, but it felt smooth.
There was a feeling of protest in the strangulation. What it wanted to eat was the raw fish head. The minced pepper fish head was what the host wanted to eat, right?
"Okay, I found traces of the demon army at several other cave entrances here in China Unicom. I'll catch up with them and let you eat a few demon heads, okay?"
Su Ming pressed the tentacle back to his chest and said helplessly, he didn't know if the devil had a brain, but the symbiote wouldn't buy it if it didn't have a brain.
