Chapter 314: Language! (below)
After about fifteen minutes, in the dark and silent woods, the silence was shattered by the ringing of Strange's phone.
He picked up the phone, pressed the answer button, and then put it to his ear, and the pleasant voice of the customer service staff of the Holy of Holies came from the opposite side: "The communication of Mephisto, the Lord of Hell, will be connected for you in 30 seconds, during which we will play a waiting tone, please wait patiently......"
After dozens of seconds of pleasant music, the phone "swished" out of Strange's hand, and the part of the button turned into a large mouth full of fangs, and Mephisto's voice came from that mouth: "I said Strange, where did you see this pattern?" β
The teasing tone in his tone made Strange a little baffled, and he asked, "What's wrong?" What is this pattern? β
"You don't know? This is the symbol of Hela, the Lord of Hades, the madwoman who spends her days playing with skeletons and souls in her own home, have you seen suddenly resurrected skeletons and corpses around this pattern? If anything, it's definitely her ......"
"Yes, and there are more than one or two, and a cemetery near here has been haunted for days on end."
"That's right, Hela's best trick is the army of the undead, her death attribute comes from the back of the World Tree, so it happens to be the opposite of rebirth, in addition to death, there is also resurrection......"
"But why is Hela on Earth?"
"How do I know that, but ...... For the sake of the good offer you gave me before, I warn you that this woman is very difficult to deal with, and once she appears, her ubiquitous power of death and resurrection will pollute a large area of land, and then make all kinds of troublesome creatures, if you don't want her territory to be turned into a skeleton ballroom, you better think of a way......"
After hanging up the phone, Strange frowned, looking at the pattern, Schiller patted him on the shoulder and said, "Get out of here first, in case Hela does come, do you have a way to deal with her?" β
"......No," Strange shook his head, and said, "I'm just worried that Hela will come, and if she does, then I can't leave, because I'm the only one who can deal with these troublesome demon gods." β
After living a very comfortable life, Strange seemed to have regained some sense of purpose, and he stared at the pattern on the ground and began to wonder if there was anything he could do to restrain Hela.
Schiller continued: "I'm afraid things won't be as simple as you think, and in any case, there's no reason for the Lord of Hades to appear on Earth, especially here......"
"If she wants to attack the earth, then she can't just leave a mark here, Mephisto also said just now, if she really wanted to do something, she would have flooded this place with an army of the undead, there are hundreds of cemeteries in New York, enough for her."
"Indeed." Strange looked confused.
"I know the style of these cosmic demon gods, when they start fighting, they won't warn each other first, negotiate, and revolve like humans, and then shoot tentatively, as soon as they make a move, it's a life-and-death duel."
"If Hela wants to invade Earth, she doesn't need to put a sign here first, anyone knows that a lightning raid is the way to achieve a quick victory, and her actions like this are more like scaring snakes."
"How do I think she's a little sneaky?" Schiller looked at the sign and said, "It's like deliberately restraining his power, not wanting to be discovered, but the power of the demon god is too strong, so much so that it leaks out a lot, causing supernatural events." β
Just when the two of them were constantly speculating, Strange's mobile phone suddenly rang again, and the sudden ringtone startled him, he took out his mobile phone, but the phone flew into the air again, and the familiar big mouth reappeared, and Mephisto's voice sounded in his ears: "Stephen, let's discuss, what is the name of the one in your Holy of Holies ...... Quarterly membership? As long as you send me a quarterly membership, I'll tell you more clues, how about it? β
Strange scolded secretly, Mephisto, the cunning old fox, deliberately didn't say everything just now, and deliberately emphasized Hela's threat, which whetted people's appetites, and made him rise up a lot of speculation, but there was no answer, and he would play the savior again, just to take advantage of more.
"I can only give you a month at most, you know, that place is not opened by me, and there are shares of the Supreme Mage and the Father of the Gods, there are too many gifts, I can't explain it to others......"
"Okay, that's a month."
Mephisto was just taking advantage of it, and then, a black gas spread from the phone, forming Mephisto's upper body, he snapped his fingers, and a wisp of black smoke drifted towards the sign, and he explained to the two behind him:
"Generally speaking, the demon god leaves his own logo somewhere to convey information, for example, I have left a logo of my own in this mobile phone of yours, so I can call you at any time."
"Of course, that magic broadcast you made is good, and when you're done, don't forget to let me go and leave a sign next to that magic circle, so that the signal will be much better."
"So what does this sign that Hela left behind represent?"
"Wait, I'm interpreting, you know, women always like to add too many unnecessary decorations to their various items, and Hela's logo is too, she carves so many intricate patterns, and only a few of them can be used......"
ββ¦β¦ Okay, read it out, huh? Mephisto let out a confused "um" and said, "Hela's looking for someone." β
"Looking for someone? β¦β¦ Who to look for? There shouldn't be anyone on earth who has anything to do with her, right? β
She didn't leave her name, but said it was a girl with long black hair...... Wait, there's another paragraph, if you find it, please call her at the Holy of Holies......"
"Strange, you're famous." Mephisto teased at Strange.
Strange spread his hands and said, "Okay, it looks like another pet has been lost, no matter who she's looking for, this sign she left behind has caused us a lot of trouble, how to get rid of her?" β
"If you're willing to send me another month......"
"No need, let's figure it out ourselves, goodbye." Strange threw out the crimson drawstring directly, rolled his phone back, and then pressed the hang up button, and Mephisto's figure disappeared in an instant.
After a while, the phone rang again, and Mephisto said, "I can help you get rid of all the power here, but you have to leave me an exclusive line, and I'll be a little busy for the next 20,000 years......"
"Exclusive hotline is not possible, but I can give you one more thread, our senior customer service is limited, you need to know ......"
"Okay, let's have one more thread."
Mephisto's figure came out of the phone again, and then he snapped his fingers, and in an instant, countless black energy poured into his body from the mark pattern and around, and then all traces disappeared, and after Mephisto's figure disappeared, Schiller said: "It seems that you have been deceived by this devil again." β
Strange's face was also a little ugly, because anyone with long eyes could see that Mephisto was absorbing power in the process just now, and this cunning devil not only got some of Hela's power for nothing, but also asked Strange to give him a customer service thread.
"I'll give you a suggestion, if the Mephisto call directly to Nickna, even if it may not be profitable, at least it will definitely not be lost."
Strange turned his head to Schiller and said, "What's your phone number?" If every strange call could be made to you, the earth would have become a cosmic holy place. β
"Alright, the problem of residual power is solved, and we need to find out who Hela is looking for."
"Anyway, it can't be an ordinary person, hell and Hades are not places where ordinary people can stay, what she is looking for may be another universe demon god." Strange opened the portal and said, "The good news is that the paranormal event is resolved, and the bad news is that there may be another demon god in some corner of the earth right now. β
Schiller followed Strange into the portal, and he said, "But don't let Nick know about it, or his blood pressure will soar again." β
Back in his room at Arkham Sanatorium, Strange was about to call again, and Schiller asked him, "What are you going to do?" β
"I'll call the Holy of Holies and ask them if any of the demon gods they know are in the form of a black-haired girl, so that even if this demon god makes any trouble, we can stop him in time."
"I advise you not to do this, because you may offend Hela, you didn't find out, Hela sneakily left a sign here, maybe he wants you to secretly help him find someone?"
Strange sat down on the couch, touched his face, and said, "She didn't make sense to do this, why did she sneak around?" Can anyone do anything with her? β¦β¦ Oh, wait, yes, Hela can't be afraid of the Ancient One, right? But the Supreme Mage should not be able to control her Hades. β
"Don't forget, in addition to the Ancient One in the Nine Kingdoms, there is also Odin, not only Odin, but Thor has also taken back his divine power and even made some progress, but it is more likely that the person Hela is looking for has a special identity......"
"The question is back to square one, who is this person?" Strange rested his elbows on the armrests of the couch and pressed his hand to his forehead.
At this moment, Schiller's cell phone rang, and Strange turned his head to look at Schiller, who picked up the phone and said, "...... Feed? Peter? β¦β¦ What's wrong? How's it going for you guys? The skeleton suddenly lost all its strength and turned into a skeleton of bones? That's a good thing. β
"Strange, the heir of the great Supreme Mage, went to negotiate a deal with the demons, so Mephisto, the Lord of Hell, helped us solve this problem, but brought us an even bigger problem......"
As Schiller was saying this, he heard a loud noise from Peter's side, followed by a jumble of noise, and Schiller heard the sound of Peter rising into the air, followed by the "whoosh" of spider silk.
After a "pop, click, bang", Peter's exclamation and a female voice screamed at the same time, and a few seconds later, Steve's voice came from a distance, saying, "Peter, are you alright?" β
"I'm fine......" Peter was lying on the ground while a woman in a black robe, or rather a girl, was pressed against him.
Steve stood a few meters away, and instead of rushing over, he made a defensive gesture and asked the girl, "Who are you?" How could it suddenly fall from the sky, and ......"
Steve looked around at the scattered skeletons of bones around him, and he looked at the girl and continued, "...... With so many skeletons around? β
The girl in the black robe stood up, Peter was finally able to get up from the ground, he patted the grass clippings on his body, turned his head to look at the person next to him, and then he saw a fair, slender hand reach out from under the black robe and remove his hood.
Schiller heard the other end of the phone: "What the fu......"
