The Death Knell

Things didn't go well. The reporter didn't seem to be interested in wine, and his name was not listed in the winery's customer records.

Su Ming sent Ginjiu to investigate the news on the street, and asked Gang Leader Qiao to contact some upper-level clients to see if he could get some information through the authorities.

He and the doctor were waiting at the Peace Hotel.

Holloway was obviously very interested in this legendary prohibition-era bar. He touched the yellowed walls and played with the piano that Su Ming often played.

But he was very self-controlled, and except for a small glass of wine in the car, he now turned a blind eye to the alcohol around him.

He is also waiting for information, and he needs to stay awake before revenge is taken.

Su Ming leaned on the bar, thinking about the current situation.

Dr. Holloway is following him now and is considered a temporary teammate. He is an excellent detective and can find many clues. He may be able to help Su Ming investigate and fill in the gaps.

He was also a top surgeon, and medical skills and anatomy were always useful.

He has good shooting skills and a strong body, but unfortunately he is far from reaching the human limit of Batman. At most, he is at the level of an athlete.

As for what Su Ming will face, it's hard to say what kind of enemy it is. Except for the Red Skull and Zola who are entangled with Captain America, other hidden forces may be opponents.

The team now has an assaulter and a scout, but it still lacks a person with powerful energy release skills, otherwise the small team is likely to be restrained.

Although Su Ming himself is not weak, there is always a bright future. He has no idea what is hidden in this strange world.

If the opponent suddenly takes out something like an infinite gem, he may be blinded.

Now New York does have a strong man who is good at releasing energy, and that is the torchbearer.

But he has mental problems, and his understanding of the external environment is too limited. He is not as realistic and practical as Holloway, but relies on a simple view of good and evil to do things.

In the original book, he and Namor had a big fight, and the tsunami caused about 300,000 casualties in New York. Afterwards, Namor came back and said that he killed the wrong person and was sorry.

The torch bearer said that it was okay. If you know your mistakes, you can correct them and you are still good comrades. Let's be good friends.

So they became good friends. After that, Namor seemed to have flooded the world several times, destroyed several parallel worlds, and probably killed tens of billions of people, but this did not affect their friendship.

For Jim, Namor made a mistake, so of course he should forgive him!

This is anti-humanity, right? You know, Namor is so extreme that even Captain America doesn't want to talk to him...

Such a Virgin White Lotus, Su Ming is not enough to worry about. What if in the middle of the fight, he suddenly forgives his opponent and in turn prevents Su Ming from killing people, it will be very painful.

"Don't fight, don't fight!"

Nightmare...

Therefore, the plan to abduct the torchbearer was briefly forgotten in Su Ming's mind.

Of course, in addition to the torchbearer, there is now another person in New York who is good at energy release skills, and that is the Ancient One Mage.

If Gu Yi takes action, Su Ming just needs to lie still and wait for victory.

But Su Ming was not sure that he could persuade her. Master Gu Yi never interfered in the fights between mortals in the world.

Gu Yi must have noticed all the extraordinary things she had done over the years, but she also laughed it off. Sometimes Su Ming could faintly feel a sense of voyeurism, but Gu Yi did not do anything unnecessary.

However, Su Ming was somewhat confident in convincing her disciples.

That guy Modu is the most typical stubborn person. As long as he fools him a few words and exaggerates the situation, he is likely to take the bait.

Integrity, Modo’s biggest characteristic is his integrity.

He just believed in the words of Ancient One too much and regarded Dormammu as his life and death enemy, so when he discovered that Ancient One secretly used Dormammu's dark power to extend his life, his mentality exploded instantly.

In the comics, he was first a villain and later an anti-hero, and was one of the few magicians who dealt with the mercenary world.

Of course, there are many benefits to choosing a magician as a teammate. Creating food and water can open doors. With the portal of the hanging ring, Su Ming can quickly travel to various parts of the world without having to endure the slow transportation of this era.

Su Ming still misses Barry very much. Although the Speed ​​Force is a little more dangerous, the riding experience is good and the support function is also first-rate.

The mage has to cast spells and chants when opening the door, and needs distraction and protection in battle to exert his power. Moreover, how much skills Modo has learned from Ancient Yi is always a question.

But now that the winery's men were sent out to look for clues, Su Ming would feel uncomfortable if he didn't use this time.

It is best to make your team stronger first. Sitting in a bar, you feel like a sword is about to fall from your head and the atmosphere of the world has changed. This is the sixth sense of a top warrior.

This is not a good feeling.

So he decided to go to the New York Temple to try his luck first. What if Gu Yi ate too much for breakfast today and wanted to exercise to eliminate food?

He knocked on the bar, made up his mind, drank the drink in front of him, and wiped his beard.

"Dr. Holloway, let's go."

"Huh? No news has come back yet, right?"

Holloway sat at the pool table, playing with the balls on it. He was indeed a little impatient, but blind action would not bring any benefits.

"It's a waste of time to wait. Let's visit an old friend of mine first. She may be able to provide some help."

"She?" Dr. Holloway raised his eyebrows and gave an ambiguous look.

"Well, it's her, but she should be 800 years older than me." Su Ming shrugged.

The image of the old witch in the forest suddenly appeared in Holloway's mind, keeping company with the black cat in the dark basement, using her wand to stir the corpses of small animals such as toads or geckos in the huge black pot.

"Witchcraft?" Holloway pinched his eyebrows. He was a doctor. In this era, many people still didn't believe in science. They would rather buy holy water after getting sick. These occult things gave him a headache.

"It's not witchcraft, it's magic. Many witchcraft are related to hell. If you meet a witchcraft user in the future, you'd better be careful."

Su Ming put on his coat and led the doctor out of the underground bar. The place was almost unchanged from more than ten years ago. The streets were still full of sewage, and the pedestrians passing by still looked in a hurry.

Yes, although the economic situation has improved a lot now, the cloud of war still hangs over everyone. Su Ming likes battlefields and blood, but that doesn't mean everyone thinks so. People on the street seem to be running for their lives.

When the two of them drove to Bleecker Street, the atmosphere on this street was a hundred times stranger than the street in front of the bar.

As soon as the front wheel of the car turned the corner, he felt the hairs on his body stand up, as if the temperature had dropped by dozens of degrees in an instant.

"Arm yourself!"

Without Su Ming's reminder, the doctor also felt it. This feeling of fear seemed to suddenly appear in his heart, as if the world suddenly changed and a very unfriendly beast appeared behind the two of them.

Maybe it’s the same feeling for a mouse in an alley being targeted by a feral cat.

Su Ming rolled back from the driver's seat into the car and quickly put on his equipment. The situation was unknown now, and Gu Yi seemed a little busy.

However, there were not many opportunities to sell favors to the Supreme Mage. He decided to seize this opportunity. No matter what the situation was, he had to go in and take part.

It is not impossible to provide the service first and collect the bill later.
