Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

do you know?

Catherine was holding a cup of iced coffee, she pulled the brim of her baseball cap, looked at the hurried crowd in front of her, took a sip of her drink, and whispered, I hate New York, everyone in this place is talking about money, ideals It's on everyone's lips, but the criminals here don't even have faith.

After finishing speaking, she kicked on the leg of the thief next to him who put his hand into her pocket, causing the guy who was caught off guard to stagger and kneel on the ground. Selena, who was standing next to Catherine, snorted, because she stayed up late working As a result, she already had bags under her eyes, and Miss Thief was in a bad mood, because she couldn't finish her work last night.

She gave a cold snort, and swung her 1.2-meter-long legs, kicking away the dagger that the thief took out, and then stabbed his palm with a sharp heel, blood spattered and mercilessly.

If this was in the downtown area of ​​Manhattan, a group of people would have gathered to watch by this time. Unfortunately, this is only an alley in the back street of the West Village full of humanistic atmosphere. No matter how much the thief howls, it will not change the fact that he is about to be beaten violently. After Dunton's end, Catherine casually threw the finished drink into the trash can, reached into the cello case on her back, and when she took it out again, there was already a metal stick exuding a black and cold luster.

Help me block

The 14-year-old girl said something to the young lady who was wearing a black windbreaker beside her. The latter stood up knowingly and stood in front of the two of them. Then there was a burst of screams, which seemed to be the sound of teeth being smashed, 5 Minutes later, a refreshed Catherine took out the bloody mobile phone from the arms of the thief who was lying on the ground, and pressed 911, and glanced at the nearby house number.

Greenwich Village 27, someone is dying, bleeding a lot, come on!

She hung up the phone, threw the phone on the ground, and crushed it with her foot. Selena hugged her shoulders and frowned as she watched Catherine's actions.

Wow, I found that you are very murderous when you come back this time. Who messed with you?

nonsense

Catherine rolled her eyes at her, I'm not a little thief like you who can't get on the stage. My sister will inherit a big gang in the future, and now I'm just practicing.

Okay, okay, I can't afford to provoke you.

Selena shrugged, she took Catherine's arm, and two young and beautiful girls, one big and one small, talked and laughed and blended into the crowd, but after a few minutes, the two stood there with puzzled faces. At the end of this avenue, standing in front of a shop exuding a quaint atmosphere, Selena scratched her head. Miss Thief, who has recently become famous in New York, looked at the strange, cut-off circle above the shop. Several parts of the logo, she said doubtfully,

Is there a store here?

Catherine shook her head, looked around, and said with certainty, Mr. Jonathan lives nearby. I have been learning cello with him for half a year, but I never knew there was such a shop here. Look, it sells a lot of money. It's incense! It's really fun.

Selina's intuition as a thief began to warn her frantically at this moment, and her instinct told her that something was wrong, but when she saw the religious ornaments on the counter in the 19th century-style shop in front of her, her heart The heart that belonged to the thief began to beat wildly again.

Let's go in and have a look!

Selena whispered, and then dragged the struggling Catherine into this weird shop.

Hey, don't pull me, I'm going to be late for class! Damn it!

From the outside, there is nothing special about this store except that it is simple and quiet, with no signs, no decorations, and it is as quiet as a dying old man. But after the two girls actually walked into it, they found that the surrounding area Everything has changed, the glass door is like a boundary, stepping into it, the light suddenly becomes dim, but it is not the kind of disgusting dimness, on the contrary, it gives people a clean and deep feeling Feel.

The classical staircase made of mahogany and various collections placed around it are separated from the outside world by glass. This place is like the old professor’s private collection, and it seems that even the air has become much better.

Catherine looked around at the furnishings, and she found that the walls of the store were covered with various pictures, some of which recorded the battle between man and god, and some recorded some epic wars. On the most central picture, but It is a hand-painted painting of a majestic snow-capped mountain. Each painting is so vivid that it makes people feel like they are there. Selina has already pulled out a small magnifying glass, and she is observing the person on the table with bright eyes. Bronze tiger seal.

She didn't come to be a black cat thief for the money, she just liked this job, as Saibo once said, she has restless blood in her bones, and she is also very talented.

Two, do you need any help?

A low but gentle voice suddenly sounded, making Selena and Catherine put on a defensive posture at the same time. Based on their perception, it was impossible for someone to approach quietly, but when they raised their heads, they saw But it was a man of yellow race wearing a black exercise uniform, with black hair, small eyes, and a face full of flesh. It seemed difficult to touch. If you only look at the face, you can't help but want to back away.

But there was a kind of kindness in his eyes that was completely different from his appearance. That kind of kindness made people forget his bad appearance and made people want to get close unexpectedly.

Who are you? What is this place?

Catherine's hand reached into the cello box behind her. If you observe carefully, you will find that her palm has melted into the wooden box, grasping the black metal stick, which came from the instinct of an alpha-level mutant Telling her that this person in front of her is very powerful.

Selena's left hand was also on her belt, don't get me wrong, she didn't intend to use the belt to whip someone, it was a black leather whip wrapped around the belt, the weapon of the thieves Catwoman.

The person in front of him didn't seem to notice the small movements of the two of them, he smiled gently and said,

This is a sanctuary, and I am the host here...According to your habits, you can understand it as a temple, and you can call me King.

temple?

Selena had an expression of I don't read enough, don't lie to me, she looked around, raised her beautiful brows, Here?

Come on, sit down and talk.

Wang stretched out his hand and made a please gesture. Catherine and Selena glanced at each other and sat opposite him. The latter flicked his left hand on the table, and three cups of fragrant hot tea appeared on the table It was as miraculous as magic. This move made the eyes of the two girls widen, but the latter just smiled mysteriously. He looked at Catherine and said in a low voice,

You're from Xavier Academy for Gifted Boys, aren't you?

Um?

Catherine stared at him, but did not answer. Wang picked up his teacup and said contentedly,

Don't be afraid, child, we have a very good relationship with Professor Charles. You can understand that we are friends.

After speaking, he looked at Selena again,

So, what wishes do you have in your heart?

Why do you ask?

Selena shot back, How do you know we have wishes in our hearts?

Because people without wishes and fate cannot see or enter here... As I said before, this is a temple, and what we believe in is the truly great power in this world. She guards All the peace in this world, that is the power hidden under the surface of the world, that is the Ancient One, the supreme mage.

Speaking of this, Wang sincerely folded his hands and muttered to himself. At this moment, he looked like a real ascetic. After a while, he opened his eyes and said kindly,

Tell me, I can do a fortune-telling for you for free.

Wang waved his practice robe lightly, narrowed his small eyes, stretched out a finger,

Only one chance.

Oh oh oh, look at you, is it really okay for you to tell us these things? What about the supreme mage, it's impossible for everyone to know this kind of thing, right?

Selena asked another string of sharp questions, with distrust shining in her eyes,

Tell me, what do you want?

After she finished asking unceremoniously, Catherine pulled her arm. The power of Wang's words hidden under the world touched her very much, because she is one of the alpha mutants, She vaguely felt that this was a real, very rare opportunity.

Don't worry about that.

The king said unmoved, When you leave here, except for the answers you got, you can't remember everything about the sanctuary. Send you away...

Wait, Master Wang, I have a question to ask!

Catherine had a lot of contact with Saibo, and she also learned some etiquette about that ancient country from Saibo. She put the cello box behind her aside, stood up, folded her hands, and bowed sincerely. This attitude made Satisfied, Wang nodded.

As a follower serving the Ancient One and stationed in the Sanctuary in New York, he is essentially a believer. His world and the real world are separated, and Selina's questioning has actually made him dissatisfied.

Ask, boy

Wang put down the teacup, his expression became solemn, I can feel that there is doubt in your heart, like a black hole, devouring your pity and kindness, a really good boy should not have such sad...

I would like to know...

Catherine pursed her lips, her big eyes shone with longing light, and she was a little nervous. Selina couldn't help holding her hand. Miss Thief could guess what Catherine was going to ask, and the little girl said softly,

I want to know, is my brother still alive? Where is he?

Tell me his name!

Wang took a palm-sized sapphire pendant from his neck and held it in his hand. The gemstone pendant exuding a unique light made Selena's eyes straighten immediately. She has been a robber in New York for 4 months, but since I have never seen such a perfect gem, Wang ignored her, he seemed to be communicating with some powerful force, he stretched out his hand,

If you have something related to him, it's best to carry it with you, and give it to me.

Um

Catherine hurriedly took out something from the cello box. When she saw that thing, Selena's face became sad. It was a mask, which had been almost destroyed by flames and explosions, but it was barely visible. It turned out that it was a distorted ghost face, which was brought to Catherine by Robin, Sable's last relic, and she placed it carefully in the palm of the king.

The latter glanced at it, put it on the table, stroked it with his fat fingers, and frowned.

Strong smell of blood, substantial smell of killing, ghost-like... It seems that your brother is also not an ordinary person.

His name is Sable, Sable Hawk, can it work? Master Wang?

Catherine asked eagerly, Wang signaled her not to worry, he closed his eyes, and he silently recited that great name, the next moment, in the air behind him, a golden hexagram halo flashed out, forming a more complicated light .

On the edge of the halo is a string of beating golden runes. Selina was dumbfounded watching this scene. Before 1 minute, she thought Wang was just a liar, but now, she can't wait to pay homage to him... this thing It is more exciting than any magic.

The golden light overflowing from the halo vibrated in the air like lines, like gauze woven by light. Catherine and Selina looked directly at the light, and could even vaguely see a high mountain surrounded by snow, a golden temple, And the woman with her back turned to them, meditating before the mysterious pattern.

That's... The Ancient One, the Supreme Mage, one of the most powerful forces in the world.

Ancient One, please tell me about Cyber ​​Hawk...

Wang was mentally connected to the omnipresent spirit of the Supreme One. With the help of this name and the information of the mask in his palm, a place surrounded by wind and snow appeared in front of his eyes. It was a large dam indistinctly. As his spirit continued to deepen, he saw the secrets hidden under the dam, saw many forbidden soldiers, many poor people locked up, and the cruel experiment, but just when he was about to find the target, a crisp and clear A gentle voice rang in his ears.

Stop, king...that is a person who does not exist in this world, don't enter into his destiny, and don't change his destiny...

Wang was startled, and the picture in front of him was shattered immediately, but after a while, he lowered his head and replied sincerely in a low voice,

Obey, Master Ancient One.

Five minutes later, Selena and Catherine, who looked dazed, stood on the side of the street in Greenwich Village. They held their heads. No matter how they recalled, they couldn't remember the previous 10 minutes. It looked like there was an empty alley behind them, but they clearly walked out of this alley just now... There seemed to be a very gentle person, what's his name? king? Or Lee?

What happened to us?

Selena checked her clothes nervously, This kind of unexpected situation is really enough! I don't know if I was raped by someone! Damn it!

And Catherine looked at the note in her hand, on which was written a line of words in flamboyant English,

He's alive, and he'll be back with you soon...

Catherine held the note tightly, but the note turned into golden smoke and disappeared at her fingertips. The little girl looked around, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Although she forgot what happened, she felt an inexplicable feeling. Peace of mind.

Thank you, great power...
