Chapter 313: 24. Dimensional stripping

Actually, when Strange asked this question, it meant that things had entered a new cycle.
According to Murphy's Law, if things have a tendency to deteriorate, then it will definitely deteriorate, so when Strange rushed into the police morgue through teleportation, he encountered just a dozen of them just derived Attack of the ghoul.
His hands spread out, and two gorgeous and hot rune wheels turned in his palms, and his hands waved, as if the wheel was wrapped around by an invisible thread, and circled the whole broken morgue room. To kill all the weak ghouls.
Of course, ghouls are not critical. This kind of disgusting gadget-evolving gadget, even in hell, is a fairly low-end junk creature, and even an apprentice with a bit of magic can kill them.
What really matters is that in front of Strange, the steel bed where Isabella's body is parked is empty...
"dry!"
Dr. Strange waved his fists fiercely toward the sky, and reason urged him to return to the Sanctuary in New York for the first time. After a while, all the people in the entire sanctuary who were still moving were sent out to track Isabella. .. But it is clear that since the mysterious creatures have done this kind of thing, they must be fully prepared. Until four hours later, the night is coming to New York. When people who are busy for a day are preparing to take a break from work, there is still no trace. The news came back.
"Um... I don't really understand, what the are you doing?"
Saiber sat on the sanctuary chair with a straight face. Opposite him, Hognes with a heavy face and Strange with a sullen face. He picked up a teacup and drank a hot sip of tea. Isn't it worth mentioning the power of demons that appear in the world in the form of possessives?"
"That's normal..."
Strange explained dullly,
"The situation is obviously abnormal now. I told you before about the "Hell Bible" circulating in hell. Do you remember? There is a description of Mamen in the book. He claimed that he would enter the world at some time. , Build up your own army, and reopen the door to the world for hell... This full entry is conditional, especially when the barriers are intact, it is almost impossible to achieve."
Old Mage Hogness said,
"With the three sanctuaries, the Supreme Master’s will can easily cover the entire world. Similar to this high-level demon entering the present world, it is impossible to hide her, but there is another situation that has only succeeded in the past hundreds of years. After crossing the area several times, they first descended on the prepared carrier with their spirits, and then caused a temporary connection between various dimensions through some special wonder, so that they could cause a jump between the dimensions and blind the eyes of Master Gu Yi. , And finally entered the world in a way of smuggling."
"It's a very complicated and very precise process, and a few omissions will cause all to lose, but the advantage is that once they succeed, they can use the chaos between the dimensions without destroying the sanctuary and the Karma Taj barrier. Under the circumstances, construct a portal to other dimensions in this world..."
Hognes touched his beard, he looked at Cyber,
"Don’t tell me, you don’t know what it means. Once the breath burst into the world, completely transformed the environment near the portal, I mean, once a real on earth appears..."
"The agreement between the Supreme Master and the gods will collapse."
Cyber ​​certainly knew this, but he still had doubts. He looked at Hognes, hesitated, and whispered, "But I heard that in Gotham... there is already a small hell..."
Hogness glanced at him and shook his head,
"In the dimension, there is no permanent channel across the dimension, the dark breath that occasionally opens, even its holder cannot control the operation of that small place... that is not called a on earth, there is at best. It’s just a large enchantment. In the true sense, the existence across the latitude can be called the on earth."
The three of them fell silent, and the current situation has deteriorated to a certain extent. Even a non-hearted guy like Cyber ​​feels long-lost pressure, and he touches his face.
"So what does this have to do with the weapon that stabbed the Son of God? Wait a minute... I seem to understand, you mean that the gun of fate, held by the psychic, can break through all obstacles. , So it is the "key" of the dimension channel opened this time?"
"Yes!"
Hogness glanced at Strange and sighed, "The gun of destiny has had many masters in history, but no one can hold it to accomplish what he wants to do. Its last master was the Nazis. Hitler’s leader, Hitler, abandoned him when he was about to face failure. From now on, he disappeared. Before I slept, I secretly searched for it, but unfortunately, it seems to have disappeared in this world. ."
The old mage wiped his beard and squinted his eyes,
"Now it seems that the thing should have been owned by a ruler of hell, and he has planned all this for more than a few decades. I have to say that we are now at a disadvantage in information. ..."
He closed his eyes and thought for a few minutes, Shen Sheng said,
"Bring the people back, Strange, contact Kama Taj, we have to be prepared to face the worst."
Cyber ​​said for a moment, the old mage obviously gave up the search, preparing for the murderer who broke into the world, he asked curiously,
"Doesn't Karma Taj have such a large-scale search spell? You can directly find where they exist."
Strange glanced at him and said helplessly,
"What books have you read for most of the month of Kama Taj? Now the most widely searched spells can't cover the whole of New York City, there are 3000W people here... and once that kind of super large search method Launched, the opponent will definitely feel the fluctuation of magic power, which is equivalent to our useless work, and now it seems that Mamen has already selected Isabella Dawson as his carrier, and the opponent has prepared everything, Our time is really running out."
"It sounds dangerous..."
Cyber ​​scratched his chin. He took a deep breath, patted his clothes, and stood up.
"Then I will go first, and good luck to you."
When he had finished speaking, he would turn around and leave. Strange looked at the unrelenting Siberian. He shouted, "What are you going to do? Don't you stay here to fight?"
"Hey, you know me not one day or two..."
Cyber ​​turned his head and looked at Strange with a weird look. "Do you think I'm the kind of person who does nothing wrong? Besides, if they attack Gotham, I'll think about it, this city... sorry, I have no feelings for this city, it is not worth my risk for it, yes, thank you for your story, very interesting, really."
After he finished, he hesitated and looked at Strange. "It seems that you are ready to be a hero. You have to say that this is a stupid choice, but you are already an adult, so... . I can help you take away your Palmer, if you die here, I will help you take care of her, of course, you better not die."
"and many more"
Seeing that Cyber ​​was going downstairs, Hognes, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Can you give me 5 minutes to give me this old man?"
Cyber ​​looked at Hognis suspiciously. After thinking for a while, he nodded and sat back in his chair again. Stranger turned around and left under the direction of Hognes, leaving the space completely to these two people. .
"I used to be an unprofitable guy too."
Hognes took a white ivory pipe from his arms, dangling it in his mouth, and spit out a ring of smoke comfortably. He looked at Cyber, his old eyes full of scrutiny, "So I know How to deal with a guy like you, finding someone to help is the most disgusting thing, which means you either have to pay some price, or you have to consume human debt..."
He stretched out a finger and shook in front of Cyber. "In this world, human debt is the most difficult to repay, so I think we can handle all this in a more direct way. I heard that you It was hired by Master Gu Yi to come to New York for cleaning once, right?"
Hognes removed the pipe from his mouth,
"I don’t want to deceive you into saying that we are holding the winning ticket. That’s too hypocritical. The New York Sanctuary is not strong enough now, and these gods launching such an adventure plan, there will inevitably be corresponding guys to block Gu Yi. We need your strength. , So... what price did she offer?"
Saber didn't hide it either. When the left hand flicked, the sandalwood fan appeared in the palm of the hand. The old mage took it and put it in his hand to take a closer look.
"Gee, a magical object that has been contaminated with the attributes of space because of long-term contact with dimensions and space. It is equivalent to a million-dimensional pocket of different dimensions. The ancient one shot was generous..."
He returned the sandalwood fan to Cyber, who was unreasonably serious and harsh, and said in a smiling voice,
"But looking at New York now, it's clean like a blank sheet of paper, so this business is not a loss... let's also make a deal, Cyber ​​Hawk, following the old principle of equivalent exchange , I, Hognes Leonid Ivanovic, hire you to fight for me until the end of the battle. During this period, you need to move forward and fight hard. In exchange, I will pay you enough. remuneration..."
When the old mage's expression became serious, a series of golden flame spell-like characters shone in the air, and finally bloomed in front of Cyber, Hognis stretched out his left hand with a drop of purple blood on his finger. On the rune, the character jumped wilder, he looked at Cyber,
"Will you accept my employment?"
"So, did you use this kind of ritual to choose mercenaries 300 years ago?"
Cyber ​​sticks out his tongue and licks his lips. "Interesting, it looks funny, but the old man... I want to see the goods first!"
Hognes smoked a cigarette, threw a hand out of a pocket, and jingled on the table. Cyber ​​picked up the pocket and took a gadget out of it like a black warhammer, only half the size of his palm. Looking suspiciously at Hognes, who opened his mouth and read a silent spell, the warhammer bounced out of Cyber's hand.
Enlarged by more than 10 times in proportion, it turned into a two-handed warhammer, looking dark and not slippery, but stood up in Cyber, grabbed the warhammer with his left hand, and shook it fiercely outward. , The already huge warhammer was stretched again, and the surface of the warhammer divided into four sections punctured a creepy small cone-shaped nail. At the top of the warhammer, a sharp spearpoint was popped out. The whole looks like It is a grisly hammer.
Cyber ​​waved it a few times, perfect weight, perfect balance, and heavy, so the lethality must be terrible.
"what is this?"
Cyber, playing with the new toy in his hand, looked up at Hognes. The latter looked at the Warhammer, and there was a touch of nostalgia in his eyes, but it disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"It was during the First World War, I completed the spoils of an unexpected adventure, don’t underestimate it, Cyber ​​Hawk, the former owner of this weapon, is a god, Ares, you may be in I have heard of his name in myths and legends. He is in charge of wars, disasters, and rampages in the world. But this weapon is a true evil, but this weapon is genuine. Although it is still not an artifact, it is made of ancient Craft forging, hard and reliable, the most important thing is that it is different from your knife..."
The old mage stopped, increasing his tone,
"It has a soul, but whether it can be awakened depends on your ability. Legend has it that it is the scepter of the of war, with blessings from the gods. I don’t know if it’s true or false, but I think, use it It’s a good price to hire you... In our time, a good soldier would be ridiculed if he didn’t have a good weapon. I don’t think you will insult it."
"I think it's quite appropriate."
There is undisguised joy on Saber’s face, and the Warhammer has a very favorite feeling when starting with it, especially the stories and legendary auras attached to this gadget, like a collector’s collection, but his eyes turned. , Tossing the Warhammer on the table,
"But it's not enough! I want the wizard who specializes in summoning in the New York Sanctuary to help my devil to complete the second demon call... In such a battle, ordinary people have little effect, I think you can understand it."
"You are really greedy...and this idea is disgusting!"
Hognis said in disgust, he shook his hand, "The last tsar asked me to help him be a talisman, for which he paid a whole house of gold coins as a reward, but considering your fighting power... this also It’s not impossible to consider, but since you added conditions, I will add one!"
The old mage's eyes were fixed on Cyber, like Harrier Eagle,
"This battle! You and those of you are here...you will die!"
Cyber ​​hesitated, he did not dodge Hognes's gaze, frankly,
"I can't influence other people's decisions, but at least I can promise you, I will fight here until the last moment...If you die early, I will retreat without hesitation!"
"Okay! Deal!"
