The Death Knell

"boom!"

Su Ming kicked open the door he thought was the exit, but it was not an elevator, but more like a vault.

From a human perspective, this location is located on the wall, so it seems reasonable to use it as a transportation line, but the stranger obviously doesn't think so.

In fact, Su Ming already realized something was wrong when he touched the door. This small door was half a meter thick and made of an unknown, special translucent material that looked a bit like plastic.

It was very light, but very strong. Even with his strength, he did not kick the door away, but only deformed it, revealing a gap through which he could see inside.

And strangulation immediately conveyed a message that it 'smelled' the scent of a living person.

In fact, it is easy to understand. The so-called breath of a living person is the breath exhaled from the lungs, which has the feeling inside other people's bodies, a slightly moist, but somewhat unfamiliar breath.

Su Ming immediately pulled out his weapon, cut off a piece of the door, put it into his bag, and then got in through the hole.

This looks like an office. It's not small, but it looks very messy. It had obviously been looted, and then the people inside were trapped because of the loss of energy.

Here’s the interesting part, Hangsha said he smelled someone else’s scent, but Su Ming and Hela didn’t see anything.

It's not because everything is dark, but because the living person is invisible.

"Strangle, find out."

With a thought in Su Ming's mind, several tentacles emerged from his body, waving in the air like whips, and then suddenly reached behind the two of them, tightly binding a mass of air-like things. .

It turned out that after Su Ming and Hela entered the room, the transparent man planned to sneak out through the entrance of the two people, but was caught by the alien creature.

The light was twisted, as if the space was constantly shattering. Due to the contact with external forces, the mimicry was disrupted, and she could no longer maintain her chameleon-like ability.

The stranglers wrapped tightly around her neck and hung her up like a Barbie doll. Her legs kept kicking, but her hands held a baby tightly.

There was no need to kill anyone. She was still breastfeeding her child. Su Ming let her go. This woman was not a threat.

Hela stood at the door consciously, blocking the hole with her body, looking at her nails while making various postures that showed boredom.

Su Ming squatted down and showed his face.

"Can you understand me?"

The woman tugged on her clothes and huddled in the corner. The baby in her arms still had her eyes closed, and she only grabbed her breasts and sucked hard.

Her expression was very frightened, her hair stuck to her face with sweat, and her clothes still had traces of being burned by the fire. Faced with Su Ming's questions, she did not answer.

Su Ming put away his weapon and asked several more times, in English, French and Russian, but the woman still huddled up. It could be seen from her eyes that she didn't understand what he said at all, she just trembled and cried softly.

"Tsk, I don't understand the language." Su Ming pinched the center of his eyebrows. Do you need sign language?

Hela looked at the dark ceiling and yawned: "Try Atlantis or Old Norse. If that doesn't work, kill her and I'll read her memory."

"You managed to survive, but what does it matter if you die in my hands?" Su Ming smiled and rejected Hela's proposal, but you can try ancient Norse. After all, Asgard is still a brand with a lot of heritage. Maybe Odin Have you ever dealt with strangers before?

"I... know a little bit." The woman finally answered the question. Although her tone was very weird and her words were intermittent, at least Su Ming and Hela could communicate with her.

"Relax, we won't hurt you or your child. Can you tell us what happened?"

"My... name is Tanis." She pointed at herself and touched the child's face: "I am... the... person in charge here, they... ... To swoop in, kill people, take away children, I don’t understand.”

"Who are they?" Su Ming asked.

"Parliament...Guards." Tanith covered her face, as if it was difficult to accept this fact.

Because it is a country similar to a utopia, they have no military force. The so-called parliamentary guard is more like a small security force.

But they are more proficient in mastering supernatural powers and have undergone professional training, which is more than enough to deal with other people.

It seemed that it was not an uprising among the lower castes, but more like an internal strife within the parliament.

"The current total population of Attilan? How many people are there in the guard?"

"Attilan...2 million people, guards, 4,000 people." The woman vaguely said a few numbers.

Hela suddenly let out a sneer, 4,000 people? It's not even enough to fill the gap between your teeth. Even if all of them are superpowers, this number is too few.

If Attilan hadn't been floating in the sky, she would have just awakened the army and pressed down on them. Each undead would have scraped some ashes from their bones and buried all the people in the city.

But Su Ming knows that this is what Utopia is, relying on everyone's moral standards to regulate behavior, and everyone working together to build society.

But it is paired with the most unfair caste system, where status is determined after birth. This is really ironic.

Now some people are planning to start a revolution from above.

Controlling all children is the best trick of terrorist organizations. Whether it is brainwashing and training, or used as leverage in negotiations, it affects the future of the entire population and is very valuable.

Su Ming himself had a backup plan. If one day, the Inhumans became his enemy, he would attack Attilan's children.

Kidnapping children and all women of school age through magical means, no matter how stubborn the remaining people are, they must be submissive in the face of such a situation and agree to all conditions.

So now, he feels unhappy that his ideas have been plagiarized. The current plans of these guards are similar to his, just a little more bloody.

Sure enough, my own people are the most ruthless against my own people. The ancients do not deceive me.

There are 4,000 strangers who can become warriors. However, if they are really determined, Su Ming can destroy them all through urban guerrilla warfare.

But Su Ming first had to figure out which side his enemy was on. After all, the person who killed Dr. Xavier was a stranger disguised as Colonel SSR.

Su Ming's trip was not only to recapture the obelisk, but also to capture the murderer and sell him a favor to Little Charles. At the same time, he also wanted to find out who was stirring up trouble between the aliens and the vampires, trying to play a trick to destroy the world.

When moving in this unfamiliar environment with extremely advanced technology, you cannot act too hastily, and you need to try your best to avoid contact with the Terrigen crystal cloud.

"Is this your child?" Su Ming stretched out his fingers to tug at the child's little hand, and Tanis immediately turned around and faced him with her shoulder, not wanting him to touch the child.

"Yes, I... stole him back."

Su Ming nodded silently. Her ability was different from that of the Invisible Woman Susan. In the early days, she had to take off her clothes to become invisible. It was not until Mr. Fantastic invented a new uniform that she was able to avoid embarrassment.

The one in front of me is more like changing the color of the environment around him to hide himself through optical discoloration.

"Don't be nervous. It's safe here now. The other party will not return to the place they attacked." Su Ming comforted him gently. After all, the purpose of the guard's attack here has been achieved, and there is no need to come back.

Even if someone comes, it should be the opponent of the previous group. Now Su Ming needs a map of Attilan. Such a simple answer should be obtained from any computer-like storage device.

After listening to his words, the woman thought about it for a moment and became obviously more settled. Her clothes look gorgeous, with golden patterns on the corners of her clothes and collar, and she is in charge of the country's most important baby nursery, so she is certainly no ordinary person.

Her abilities are not strong, or she is not suitable for fighting. Maybe the aliens do not rely on combat effectiveness when assessing the level of abilities, but have their own set of standards.

But for Su Ming, the invisibility ability is quite suitable for espionage work. In the comics, Nick Fury always hides in the dark and watches Susan salivate, which makes Reed panic every day.

As for the name Tanis, Su Ming seemed to have some impression of it...

Just as he was thinking, Hela suddenly turned around and threw spiral spikes out the door. A man in armor was instantly hit in the head by her and nailed to another wall nearly a hundred meters away.

It was like everyone only heard a gust of wind, and then the sneaky person disappeared on the spot.

The spikes penetrated deeply into the wall, and Hela looked at Su Ming with a half-smile.

"They're back."

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of various energy beams or elemental attacks struck, and various colors lit up outside the room, heading towards the small room.

Just like blocking arrows, Hela used the black stone spiral to deflect them away.

"You go deal with them. I need to get to know Tanis better." Su Ming pulled out the shining golden dagger, grabbed the woman's neck, and raised the mask to cover her face.

Hela shrugged, slid out through the hole in the door, brandished the invisible sword in her hand, and rushed to the opposite side without saying a word.

Su Ming took a deep breath, then he gently slid the dagger down Tanis' skin, and finally placed it on the child's neck.

"No, please, don't."

Tanis struggled desperately, but Su Ming's strength was not something she could resist.

"The rebels took away all the children and evacuated. After about ten minutes, they suddenly came back. Can you tell me why?" Su Ming said word by word.

"No, I don't know!" Tanith kept shaking her head.

"Then let me tell you." Su Ming pressed the God Killer on the baby's neck. The child touched it with his hands very curiously, but was hit by the electric current on the blade and immediately started crying: "Because they You didn’t take away their most desired target, which is your child!”

"I......"

"Let me guess, he has accepted the Terrigen crystal contact and awakened the most advanced powers. He is the next Supreme Chancellor."

Everything in the darkness became very quiet, even the sounds outside the door seemed to be far away from the two of them, and there was only that scarlet ray of red light in Tanith's eyes.

She saw destruction and death, she saw fear itself.

Why? Why would this stranger know? Are the Kree back?

And Su Ming no longer needed her answer, her dull reaction said everything.

His conjecture was confirmed, so there was no need to act. The dozens of strangers outside were not Hela's opponents. Su Ming was just using Tanis' fear to verify the facts.

He already remembered who she was.
