21. The things in hand--- add more to the brothers who reward [9/20]
"Bang"
The old chief of the New York Police Department was woken up from his sleep by a phone call before he was at work, which was definitely not a good experience for the elderly, and the news on the phone also made him feel an irrepressible burst of anger surging towards his head.
One night!
Twenty-seven murders and arsons, scattered in different parts of the New York city, are like heinous criminals have made an appointment to act together!
"Waste! Waste!
The old director's shouts came from his office, like an old lion who had been completely enraged, roaring at his rivals who trampled on his territory, but to no avail... If yelling had solved the problem, the world would have been at peace.
Seeing that the old man's anger was about to be uncontrollable, the sergeant of the New York Police Department was going to persuade him, he was not worried that his boss would vent his anger on himself, after all, the old man will retire next month, what he was really worried about was whether these stunned bad news would stimulate his boss to have a heart attack directly.
But just as he stood up, he saw a lady in a black coat with her head crossed walking straight into the director's office, and after a while, the old man who was roaring suddenly fell silent, and at the same time, two men with black sunglasses and black suits, one black and one with white skin, walked like in a police station, and the young black man lifted something, put it in his hand and adjusted it, and then gave a loud whistle.
As everyone turned their eyes to him, the black man smiled,
"That's right, that's it, last night's news made everyone very unhappy, right? Don't worry, this trouble will be solved soon, come, everyone look here!"
"Huh!"
On the other side, Cyber was sitting on the sofa in the living room in his pajamas, watching his booty, and a circle of people gathered around him, these guys had just finished breakfast, and they could also relax after the necessary work was finally done.
"I said, is that clown really okay? And this soul crystal, can it really preserve the soul?"
Remy Leber looked curiously at the beautiful purple crystal in Yuriko's hand, it was slender, like an ice pick crystal in winter, and it looked very beautiful.
Faced with his questioning, Cyber yawned,
"This thing was taken directly from Kama Taj, if it weren't for the crazy things to do this time, the Ancient One wouldn't have handed them over to me, as for the resurrection, of course, as long as the body is intact and the soul is not damaged, it can be resurrected through a mysterious ritual, but the souls of these brothers who died in battle will escape part of it during the resurrection process, which will make their souls weak... This weakness will continue until the end of their lives. ”
Yuriko glanced at her ignorant boyfriend, sighed, and explained,
"They will not be able to fight as warriors in the future, they will live like ordinary people who are weak and will have less resistance to mysterious powers, but they have already died once, and it is already an excellent thing to come back to life at the cost of damaging their souls. ”
"The Devil's Gang will raise them! We will not forget our brothers who sacrificed for us..."
Cyber knocked on the table, turned to Yuriko, and said, "You take Lewis and Cooper back to Gotham as fast as you can, Robin will go back with you, and I may need to stay here for a few more days." ”
Everyone took the order and left, leaving only two people, Cyber and Sergei, who looked left and right and lowered his voice,
"Didn't find that scroll?"
Sergei shook his head with an ugly face, "We almost dug three feet into the ground, but no... All I found was Midnight's collectibles and a staggering number of precious metals and magical materials, but none of the scroll you mentioned... He should have hidden it somewhere else. ”
"Whew..."
Cyber took a deep breath, he rubbed his forehead, and finally waved his hand, "Forget it, if you don't see it, it's gone, it's not a big problem, what about Constantine?
At the mention of this name, Sergei's face turned even more ugly, he took out a broken chain from his bosom and handed it to Cyber, there were obvious signs of flame burning on it, Sergei spoke,
"If this flame was not summoned by himself, then after we left last night, someone broke into the villa, but I asked the brother who stayed behind last night, and I also looked at the surveillance, no... No one had entered the place, and the surveillance in Konstantin's room was breached and unreadable. ”
As he spoke, Sergei clenched his fists and slammed it on the table, smashing the things on the table and jumping up.
"This bastard is like a mouse! If you don't pay attention, you'll run away!
Cyber's expression changed for a moment, but finally calmed down, and he reached out and picked up a quaint bone dagger from the table, and said as he played with it,
"Forget it if you run, it's an eventful time now, just let him run for a while, and when things ease, there is time to clean him up!"
"That Kevin..."
"Kevin's business, don't worry..."
Cyber reached out and picked up a cigar, "Konstantin is not the only one who can summon demons, without him, would the world have come to a standstill? ”
Sergey breathed a sigh of relief, he nodded, reached under the table and pulled out a battle axe composed entirely of white bones and spine and some special metals, put it in his hand and shook it,
"Anyway, the Midnight collection is still very good, and our barren warehouse of magical items is instantly filled... By the way, Boss, at 8 o'clock this morning, all kinds of transportation out of New York were full. ”
Sergei grinned, he scratched his big bald head, "Those poor bastards are terrified!"
"Hmph"
The cigar in Cyber's mouth lit automatically, and he exhaled a puff of mellow smoke, and said disdainfully, "It's just a group of crumbs who are greedy for life and afraid of death, the dragons are leaderless, panicked, like beasts that have been cornered, without the leadership of the beast, they are not even a threat!
"3 days later... Let's go home!"
In the personal room of Kama Taj's New York Sanctuary, Master Hognes, who was meditating through a deep night, sensed the magic outside the room, he opened his eyes, waved his hand, the door behind him opened gently, and Strange walked in with a light breakfast, three slices of white bread, a glass of water, and a plate of honey, the only luxuries being two well-cooked steaks, and finally a small bunch of carefully washed grapes.
Not hearty, but certainly whet your appetite, and that's the eating habit Hognes has maintained for nearly 300 years, and it has never changed.
From this point of view, the old mage with a bad temper is actually a nostalgic person.
"Thank you, Mage Strange. ”
Hognes nodded politely to Strange, he reached out and picked up the cloth, wrapped it around his neck, picked up the knife and fork, and glanced at Strange, the meaning was obvious.
"I'm going to eat, please leave. ”
In the past, if there was no need for Master Hognes to do this, Strange would take the initiative to walk away, but today is different, the young Doctor Strange hesitated for a moment and said,
"Master Hognes, something happened in New York City last night, and I felt it was necessary for me to inform you. ”
The old mage frowned, and he waved his hand,
"I'll wait until I'm done with breakfast. ”
"Yes. ”
Strange leaned over slightly, turned away from the unusually old room, as if he had stepped into the modern era from the old Middle Ages, this visual contrast made Strange couldn't help but rub his forehead, his magic cloak was very spiritual to help him rub his shoulders, this magic item said to be made by an ancient archmage has a simple intelligence, Strange can even communicate with it.
He sat in a chair outside Hognes' room, patiently waiting for the old mage, last night's incident was actually not too serious, because Cyber himself had made some kind of agreement with the Supreme Mage that Strange didn't know, he had come to New York with a murderous mission, and a massacre against half-breeds wouldn't make Strange feel bad.
What really made him fidgeting was another thing.
Fifteen minutes later, well-fed, well-recuperated, Hognis followed Strange to the basement of the Sanctuary with his windy Flame Crystal Staff, a permanent portal that could quickly connect between the Sanctuary and Kama Taj in a critical situation, but now, the portal had a strange phenomenon.
It was as if it had been tampered with, and what had been a swirling golden glow had now turned into a gray color, still shining, but the deep ominousness could be felt just from the color of the light.
"With my knowledge of space, I don't know why this is the case with an emergency portal. ”
Strange's expression was serious, and Archmage Hognes's expression was already gloomy,
"This means that the originally separated dimensions are changing, child, the reason why the earth is special is because it is sandwiched in the center of each dimension, if you want to go from hell to heaven mountain, you must pass through the earth, and it is the same from the country of the dead to Asgard, so within this system, the dimension of the earth should be the most stable, but now, it has changed..."
Hognis pondered for a moment, and with a wave of his hand, a curtain of flames sealed the portal in front of him,
"It's harmless, at least for now, but it's better not to use it rashly... In the case of dimensional changes, no one knows where it will teleport you... Can the teleportation to Kama Taj still work?"
Strange nodded,
"I just got back from Kama Taj and everything is normal, except for this portal... By the way, Master Hognes, you probably didn't know that last night the Cyber Generals had all the half-bloods in the city..."
"I know, kid..."
Hognes glanced at Strange and coughed lightly, "Just because I'm meditating doesn't mean I'm asleep, I'm well aware of what happened last night in this city... Seber Hawke, cunning and ruthless, with great strength but never lost, would be the best and most dangerous witcher of his time... You know? Strange, I'm starting to like that unruly bastard a little bit now. ”
The old mage touched his beard, and a hint of relief flashed in his eyes,
"Master Ancient One finally chose this most effective method, if you want me to say, she should have done it 200 years ago, her concession was regarded as weakness by those bastard gods, this time Cyber did a good job, killing their sharpness... By the way, what I asked you to find, did you find it?"
Strange nodded, and walked out of the basement after Hognness,
"All 7 magical artifacts that have recently become active have been brought under surveillance, but last night, we found an eighth artifact, which is very active in its mana vibration frequency, but it seems to be on the move, making it difficult to lock. ”
"Oh, the eighth strange thing, it's a rarity... Can you determine the identity of this strange thing?"
"Uh... Judging from the comparison between the frequency of magic we observed and the Book of Everything, it should be the legendary spear stained with the blood of the Son of God... Yes, it's the Spear of Longinus. ”
