Chapter 152: Kathmandu, Nepal
There are countless extra dimensions in this universe, also known as pocket universes.
Each of these extra dimensions has a presence that rules over it, and most of the beings that rule over these extra dimensions are evil characters: demons, Hades, and Grim Reapers, from all religions and myths on Earth, as well as evil gods that have existed since distant times, and Dread Lords who rely on fear and souls for their power.
The Queen of Dreams knew that there were three of the most powerful, Sithorne, Setolak, and this so-called Old Ruler Shuma.
Their strength far surpassed that of other dimensional lords, reaching a realm that was difficult to tell.
And Shuma is a powerful being born out of chaos, evil and ancient, who once descended on Earth during the Jurassic period, and some people call it the Old Ruler.
Listening to the Queen of Dreams, Li Mo felt a little dry in his throat.
He had sometimes considered the reason why he had somehow crossed over here.
Could it be that he is really just a clone, as described in some, after his strength reaches a certain level, he will be descended by this great demon god?
"No, although there are tentacles and big eyes..."Li Mo thought for a while, and said categorically: "But I'm definitely not this damn big-eyed cute!" β
"Hehehe...," the Queen of Dreams let out a seductive laugh, "Of course you're not, and I wouldn't dare to come to you if I did, after our observations, your energy attributes are completely different from Shuma's." β
"Sure enough, I belong to the camp of goodness!" Li Mo said with relief.
"No, it's worse in fact!" The Dream Queen shook her head, "As far as I can see, you're like a cancer cell in the multiverse, otherwise you think that with your current strength, an existence of the level of Sithorne would notice you?" β
Li Mo was completely muggled, and said with some confusion: "Then what should I do, wait for death?" Or I'll stop extracting dimensional energy..."
"That's self-defeating!" The Queen of Dreams affirmed, "Those powerful beings have noticed you, and if you can't take them back, they have all become curious. β
"Ever heard of that tumor patient named Lux among you humans?" The Queen of Dreams suddenly asked a strange question.
"I've heard of it." Li Mo nodded.
"Cancer cells can multiply indefinitely. So, almost every medical school on Earth has a small part of Lux's bodyβthe HeLa cell. β
The Dream Queen's voice was full of ridicule: "If you don't have the ability to protect yourself, probably every Latitude Demon God will have a part of your soul in the future, you know, those Demon Gods have a method of splitting souls, and they are usually very curious..."
βf**kοΌβ Li Mo's face completely collapsed, and he felt that his future was bleak.
Seeing Li Mo's appearance, the Queen of Dreams smiled proudly, "So you only have one choice left, hurry up and have the ability to protect yourself." β
"That's a!" Li Mo shook his head, "I am very self-aware, no matter how much I grow, I can't catch up with those existences who have gone through an unknown number of eras. β
"No, the universe has rules." The Dream Queen smiled and shook her head, "Some beings are too powerful for their ontology to enter this universe at all, and can only rely on avatars or messengers to trouble you. β
"You just need to have enough strength to defend against these guys, and be safe without those demon gods pulling your soul into their dimension." The Queen of Dreams said meaningfully, "And a powerful enough soul protection enchantment, I happen to know one..."
"After talking for a long time, isn't your purpose to ask me to help you sit on the throne of the Lord of the Dream Dimension?" Li Mo shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly, "But I don't have that ability at all now." β
"Sometimes wisdom is far more reliable than strength." The Queen of Dreams smiled, and her figure faded away, "I'm just here to say hello today, and I'll let you know when the time comes." β
Seeing the Queen of Dreams leave, Li Mo's soul also returned to his body, sitting on the bed and looking out of the window with blank eyes, "f**k..."
For two whole days, Li Mo didn't slow down, looking listless.
He had no one to talk to, and the two women looked like they were good for him, but in fact they were fools who believed it.
This is completely different from the life he imagined, but life is what this damn is.
He doesn't have that superior IQ to be the big boss behind the scenes, look at the smart people downstairs, don't be stupid to treat people as NPCs.
He also didn't have a great talent for fighting, and he practiced Asgardian swordsmanship with Skolch for a while, and both of them were desperate.
But some people say that there are three kinds of people who are not easy to mess with, smart people, ruthless people and bastards.
It just so happened that Li Mo belonged to the third type, although time has honed his character to be a little slippery, but that unrelenting energy has not disappeared, but it is deeply hidden.
Now, forced out again.
"Nima!" Li Mo took a sip fiercely, "Since you treat Lao Tzu as a cancer cell, then taste the pain of terminal cancer patients!" β
What about going against all the powerful demon gods in the universe?
It's a big deal, it's just a death, anyway, this second life is a wonderful life, but it's a toss.
Thinking of this, Li Mo suddenly felt that Thanos's old thief was not so terrible...
He quickly made a plan, first going to Kama Taj to learn from the Ancient One, and then going to rendezvous with Rocket to grab the Power Gem.
As for the first trial voyage of Tony's spaceship, he was not in the mood to watch it, although this was the beginning of the Age of Discovery, but it really had little to do with him.
The next day,
Just after Li Mo said goodbye to Tony and Reed, two people contacted him one after another.
The first one is Stephanie. Malik, after receiving the message from Ophelia, she, who is also a member of Hydra, can't wait to find Li Mo.
And Li Mo simply rejected her, "I'm sorry, beauty, I can't agree to your request." β
"Why?" Stephanie frowned, "Because we're Hydra?" β
"Wrong!" Li Mo shook his head, "It's because you hydras are too poor..."
The list of so-called treasures that Ophelia left to Li Mo disappointed Li Mo, he didn't expect that this organization that had been against S.H.I.E.L.D. for so long would have so few belongings.
Most of the so-called treasures are items left behind by aliens, which may be attractive to others, but to Li Mo they are simply expired garbage.
The remaining mysterious things are also like chicken ribs to Li Mo, they are all rotten things made by unknown so-called inferior demons, and each one has more side effects than the other.
Stephanie was a little anxious, in today's rapidly changing society, her family's position in the Hydra was declining, and everyone was laughing at their actions to rescue God.
She didn't have time to wait for Tony's spaceship to go into mass production, and who knew what would happen then.
Although this woman has an elegant temperament, Li Mo is still a little annoyed by being entangled, "Believe me, the so-called god will definitely not be an unlucky person who has been exiled to other planets for thousands of years and can't come back." β
In the end, the woman still left, because Li Mo gave her a hope.
Large-scale help Li Mo collect books on the mysterious side, if three of them can satisfy Li Mo, he will take her on the boat with him.
Let's hope Hydra can help a little bit.
The second one was even more unexpected than Li Mo.
It's Old Man Woody...
"That's drinking and bragging, just kidding!" Li Mo felt a toothache.
This old man really listened to his fool and prepared to make an unprecedented interstellar literary film that could be recorded in film history.
"You can't bully a poor old man!" Old man Woody was anxious, "Since listening to your advice, I can't sleep for a few nights when I'm excited, inspiration keeps coming, and even the crew is ready, you actually told me that you were joking!" β
Li Mo was a little helpless, "Then you don't have to be in such a hurry, in two years, Tony's spacecraft should be ready for mass production, can't you shoot it again then?" β
"In two years?" The old man was a little trembling angrily, took off his big glasses and wiped them, "At my age, I don't know if people will be there in two years." β
"It's dangerous for me to go this time!" Li Mo was a little embarrassed, "Maybe there will be an interstellar war." β
"Star Wars are good!" The old man sighed, "It's just right to make some flowers, it's amazing..."
"Are you deliberately not understanding me?" Li Mo shook his head, "I mean it's dangerous, it's going to kill people." β
"People always have to die." The old man shrugged his shoulders open-mindedly, "Some things are missed, and you will shrink back and live for a lifetime, and you will regret it when you die." β
Li Mo looked at the old man for a while, and suddenly smiled, "Okay, since you're not even afraid of death, let's get on the boat." But we'll wait until I'm done with one thing before we leave. β
"By the way, your script has been written in such a short time?" Li Mo suddenly asked with some curiosity.
"What script do you want?" Old Man Woody pouted disdainfully, "All great works never need scripts!" β
Li Mo: "..."
β¦
Nepal
Kathmandu
It is the only big city in the country, with a dense cluster of buildings and temples, traffic jams, and a large population.
The small and noisy streets are full of restaurants, Internet cafes, shops, and travel agencies.
The streets were filled with women dressed in national costumes, dark-skinned bearded monks in orange robes, locals driving livestock, and a large number of foreign backpackers.
Crowded, dilapidated minibuses and loud motorcycles deftly avoid bullock carts. The shopkeepers on the trinket stalls on both sides loudly sell their wares.
It can be summed up in three words: dirty, messy, poor...
The smell in the air made Li Mo really unbearable, so he simply brought a mask and turned on the energy detection ability to look for it all over the street.
Kama Taj should have an entrance here, and they will definitely use some enchantments, which can be found more easily by relying on energy fluctuations.
As he walked past Durbar Square to the Tamil Quarter, Li Mo saw three locals beating up a foreign tourist in a side alley.
He wouldn't have been nosy, but when he saw it was Stephen who was beaten and rolled on the ground. Strange hurriedly walked over.
Kicking away the three local thugs one by one, Li Mo stretched out his hand to Strange, who looked like a homeless man, "Long time no see, Doctor Strange, are you playing performance art here?" β
"Doctor? I'm not anymore. "Stephen. Strange stood up and stretched out trembling hands, "I had a car accident and have become a wreck. β
"Looks like you've encountered the Great Curse!" Li Mo looked at it for a while and said solemnly.
"Curse... Who is it? Strange knew Li Mo's identity, thinking that he knew some inside story, and asked angrily.
"Of course, the patients who are dissatisfied with you." Li Mo pursed his lips.
Strange was silent, and suddenly smiled bitterly, "Maybe it's really a curse." β
With that, he shook his head and prepared to leave.
"What are you looking for here?" Li Mo asked with a smile.
"A miracle." Strange's eyes were a little confused, "Maybe it's just a beautiful fantasy..."
Seeing Strange like this, Li Mo didn't continue to tease him, "I want to find Kama Taj, come with me, by the way." β
After speaking, Li Mo turned around and walked out, continuing to search. Strange hurriedly followed.
"You know Kama Taj... Are you also hurt? Strange asked curiously as he walked.
"No, I'm going to learn magic." Li Mo replied very simply.
"Is there really magic?" Strange swallowed.
Li Mo smiled, "If you don't believe it, why do you want to come?" β
"I thought it was a secret medical science institution!" Strange argued.
Li Mo pursed his lips and didn't speak, and continued to look for it, naturally someone would teach him a lesson.
After searching for a while, when he came to a river that flowed through the city, Strange could not hold it anymore, he was hot and thirsty, he squatted by the river, washed his face, and drank some water.
Li Mo didn't speak, he waited quietly beside him, and finally said when Strange finished drinking, "The water in the river is quite dirty." β
"It's okay, it's flowing water." Strange shook his head, "I've been drinking it a lot for the past two days, and it has a sweet taste. β
The corners of Li Mo's mouth twitched, and he pointed to a temple not far from the opposite side of the riverbank, "Do you know what that temple is for?" β
"It's just a temple, why should I know?" Strange shook his head.
Li Mo couldn't help but smile and explained: "That's the Pashupatinath Temple, the largest Hindu temple in Nepal. β
"What does that have to do with me?" Strange was a little confused, "Could that be Kama Taj?" β
Li Mo sighed: "That temple is also called the Temple of the Burning Body, where all the local Hindus burn their bodies, and the ashes are swept directly into the river..."
As he was talking, two monks suddenly walked out of the temple, holding large clay pots, and kept throwing ashes into the river.
Vomit!
Strange couldn't help it, and squatted by the river and vomited.
After vomiting out of the yellow bile, Strange asked weakly, "Do you know the way?" β
"Of course I don't know." "But I've found it, in the alley behind us." β
"Why didn't you stop me just now? Strange shook his head and grumbled.
"Seeing that you are so drunk, I can't bear to disturb you." Li Mo pursed his lips.
"Youβ" Strange was speechless.
"Don't take it personally, just don't think about it." Li Mo comforted, "It's just ashes, and it may not be able to float over so far..."
At this moment, a group of children ran over and stood by the river to pee inside...
