The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, which is a very quaint place on the outskirts of New York City, was built in the colonial era as a small church, and later after the establishment of the United States, because New York is often called the "Metropolis", so this museum was named "The Metropolitan Museum".

It was originally a small town near New York City, but due to the rapid expansion of the city, it is now part of New York City and has become a century-old landscape.

But there are not many tourists here, in fact, very few people know about the existence of this museum, in addition to the fact that it is really very remote, and another reason is that the museum itself is a very professional institution, which mainly collects and researches cultural and historical monuments about the ancient Greek region.

It is said that two-thirds of the world's leading professional literature on ancient Greece has been translated by the Metropolitan Museum.

So in a way, it's also an academic attraction.

"Ding Dong"

The not-so-ornate glass door was pushed open, and when Seb looked up, he saw the fully Greek arches at the top of the door and the surrounding frescoes, which looked like a special exotic atmosphere, and the entire wide hall was supplemented by sunlight, so there was plenty of light here, but there were not many people in the very clean marble hall, which looked a special dead silence.

"Hello sir, do you have an appointment?"

A staff member stepped forward, holding an appointment book in his hand, and looked at Cyber, who paused for a moment and whispered:

"No! But I'm here to find someone. ”

"Oh?"

The lady in front of her looked at the ancient Roman-style shield in Cyber's hand for a moment, then pushed her glasses and asked:

"And who are you looking for?"

"A lady named Diana, I'm here to deliver something to her. ”

Cyber shrugged his shoulders and raised the shield in his hand: "Don't look at me like that, ma'am, I only know that her name is Diana, whether she is old or young, whether she is married or not, including her phone number, I don't know." ”

This straightforward tone made the lady in charge of registration in front of her couldn't help but smile, she put the booklet in her hand aside, put her hands on her shoulders and said to Cyber:

"So this foolish gentleman, I have to regret to tell you that there are 5 Lady Diana, 3 Miss Diana, and a Diana friend who often comes to play in this museum... So unless you provide more effective information, I can't get you to just walk in. ”

She looked at Cyber sincerely:

"The interior of the Greek commercial heritage district is undergoing renovation work, and there are a lot of precious artifacts waiting to be moved, so I hope you understand. ”

Cyber was also a little embarrassed, the person opposite was just an ordinary person, and the young lady was so polite, he couldn't just demonize him, and then break in all the way.

In the end, he stroked his sunglasses and said with some regret:

"Alright then, I'll go find more information. ”

But just as he turned around, a slightly familiar voice came from the second floor:

"Alright, Lina, don't be embarrassed by Mr. Cyber, it's not often that he's so polite to a lady, bring him up. ”

"Okay, Curator Diana!"

The voice made Cyber's footsteps stop in place, and he turned around, the second floor was already empty, and the staff member named Lina made a "please" gesture to him:

"Then come with me, Mr. Seber, Curator Diana is waiting for you. ”

"Oh, Diana?"

Seber followed Lina, turning his head to look at the surrounding frescoes depicting Greek mythology, and asked in a low voice:

"So is this curator a lady, or a young lady?"

Lina smiled and whispered:

"You should call her a lady... She likes it when people call her that. ”

A moment later, Cyber stood in front of the curator's office, he looked left and right, the hallway was empty, this museum felt a little strange to him, there were probably too few people here.

"Bang"

He pushed open the mahogany door in front of him, and the next moment he saw an office with a simple decoration, as if it had stayed in ancient times, with all kinds of ancient Greek textiles hanging on the pale yellow painted walls, wind chimes, frescoes, and even a lyre in the corner, which, judging from the surface of the lyre, should have been used a lot.

He looked up, and the ceiling of the room was not hung by the glass chandelier in the hall, but actually more like the kind of lanterns used by ancient people, but after modern treatment, it had a special taste.

At his feet, there is a thick wool carpet, on which the feet do not make a sound, the pattern is very gorgeous, at first glance it is a real high-end product, and on the edge of the wool carpet, there is a huge mahogany desk, which is the kind of old-fashioned desk, which looks very heavy.

A brunette was sitting behind her desk working on some papers, and when she saw Cyber walk in, she looked up, reached out and pushed her eyes, and a smile appeared on her face:

"Long time no see, Mr. Cyber. ”

"It's you!"

At this moment, Cyber finally understood the meaning of Strange's words, and the moment he saw this beautiful lady, he remembered what he had encountered in London before, he tilted his head, shook his head slightly, and had a smile of disbelief on his face, he put his shield aside, and said with a smile:

"So mysterious Lady Diana, you won't ask me to borrow a fire this time, will you?"

Yes, the person sitting in front of him is the beautiful city beauty who was on the streets of London, looking for Cyber to borrow fire, it is really a one-sided relationship, if it wasn't for today's meeting, he probably would have forgotten that scene long ago.

"It was just an accident, and there were a lot of inconveniences when traveling. ”

Diana put down the pen in her hand, she crossed her hands, supported her chin, stared at Cyber with beautiful eyes, and then looked at the metal shield in Cyber's hand, and a trace of nostalgia flashed in her eyes:

"Oh, did the Ancient One finally decide to return it back?"

Without waiting for Cyber to speak, her gaze fell on Cyber again, this time with a hint of scrutiny: "So, you are the assistant she recommended to me?"

An inexplicable smile welled up on the corner of the lady's mouth:

"It doesn't look good. ”

This faint mockery did not make Seber angry, he looked left and right, pulled a chair, sat on it, reached out and placed the shield on the table in front of Lady Diana, knocked on it, made a crisp sound, and he looked at Diana:

"What the hell is this? and... Who the hell are you?"

"As you can see, it's a shield. ”

Diana picked up the pen again, and then said: "As for me, I am the director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, an ordinary person who is meaningless in your eyes, put things down, you can go, by the way, tell the Supreme Mage, I don't need an assistant, I can handle those troubles alone." ”

"But I need help... And the ancient one told me that with you, I can get help. ”

Cyber pressed his fingers against the shield and pushed forward, interrupting Diana's signing, who looked up and saw Cyber's gaze, which was somewhat scrutinizing and suspicious.

"Ms. Diana, everyone has their own secrets, and I can understand that. ”

Cyber whispered, "I have no intention of snooping into your secrets, and I am happier that you don't need my help in your troubles, because I have had enough troubles myself, but I have traveled a long distance from Central City to New York, and it is not really a job as a courier, if the Ancient One has not told you before, then I will repeat it again." ”

He cleared his throat:

"I send the shield back to you, and you help me solve the problem I'm facing, I think it's fair!"

Diana put down the pen in her hand, she leaned back in the chair behind her, her ten fingers kept swinging around, obviously thinking about something, and finally, her eyes fell on Cyber again.

"It's not impossible to help you... As long as you can answer me three questions!"

Cyber also soothed his body, leaned back in his chair, and made a "please" posture:

"You can ask casually, and I will choose whether to answer or not, you see, there has never been a free secret in this world, not in the past, and not now... So, let's respect each other's privacy. ”

"It's not going to work... You know, if I help you, it's like intervening in your trouble, as you said. ”

Diana opened the drawer, took out a bundle of rope, and put it on the table, she looked at Cyber and accentuated her tone: "I also have a lot of trouble, so whether I want to help you or not depends on whether you cooperate or not... Wrap this rope around your wrist, and I'll just ask three questions..."

Her finger tapped on the table:

"You can answer whatever you want, I only need three answers. ”

Cyber took off his sunglasses, the dark red eyes of his eyes shone with flames, he didn't rush to look at Diana's eyes, but set his eyes on the rope, the rope that didn't seem to be a problem, in the vision of the Eye of Repentance, shone with unimaginable magical power, the sparkle of that power, almost the strongest of all the magic items that Cyber had ever seen.

Only the sandalwood fan given to him by the ancient one can be compared.

This made him hesitate... Touching other people's magical items without knowing the details is simply looking for death.

"I can promise..."

Diana's voice sounded at this moment: "It won't hurt you, and I can also guarantee that the speedsters you are going to face, no one in this world knows their details better than me." ”

"Good!"

Cyber took a deep breath and reached out to pick up the rope, wrapping it around his wrist slightly, not recklessly, but out of trust in the Ancient One, the Supreme Mage acted in a completely different style from him, but one thing was guaranteed, she had never tricked him at least.

"Just ask!"

Cyber relaxed her body, Ms. Diana reached out and took off the glasses on her face with a peaceful smile, at this moment, Cyber really felt her kind of charm, very special... As if not like a mortal, it seems that the glasses are also a special item.

She reached out and grabbed the other end of the rope, and at the moment of contact, a layer of orange-red light shone on the surface of the rope, but Cyber had no special feeling, and the next moment, Diana's first question appeared:

"You've been in contact with Ares, haven't you?"

The moment he heard this question, Cyber instinctively wanted to deny that the strange soul who called himself Ares was almost one of the secrets in his heart, but just as he spoke, the rope on his wrist suddenly tightened, and a feeling of oppression enveloped his body, but it did not hurt Cyber.

It didn't hurt him, but it forced him to have an urge to tell the truth in his heart, an irrepressible impulse, and there was no way to fight it with emotions, and finally, he nodded:

"Yes, I've been in contact with him... Call... At the end of the Battle of the Sanctuary in New York, he offered me a way to subdue Atlas's rotten body... Call... Since then, he... He never appeared again. ”

Cyber said these words with difficulty, and then felt the pressure on his whole body loosen, and he subconsciously wanted to take off the rope on his wrist, but found that the rope was very tough, and with his current strength, there was no way to break it.

"What the hell is this!"

He looked up and looked at Diana with a hint of deceived anger: "This is your method?"

"Peace of mind, the rope of mantra will only make you tell the truth. ”

Diana's expression had already cooled, she stood up, her left hand pressed on Cyber's shoulder, the huge force that came pressed Cyber to stand up, she looked at the angry leader of the Devil's Gang, her eyes glittered with fire:

"In the current bad situation, I think it's better for both of us if you tell the truth... You're angry? When I heard the news, I was also furious, and when the rest of the questions were asked, we could have a fight!"

The lady's voice also became low and dangerous:

"You stupid bastard, your concealment almost ruined everything! I'd be happy to beat you up to get angry!"
