Chapter 1248 Could Chengdu Die?
It was still a desolate city, but this time, Hui Jin and others were not advancing on the streets, but walking forward in a not-so-wide underground tunnel...
This is the secret passage belonging to Deathstroke, which allows him to avoid almost all surveillance and pass through the city~
Rats in the sewer... This word is simply suitable to describe the current group of people. Although Ashes has no idea why he wants to move forward in the underground passage, Deathstroke insists on doing so. In order to avoid the dark king's eyes,
Avoid unnecessary troubles and the like...
Even Ashes told Deathstroke that no matter how they hid, the Dark King could feel his presence, and Deathstroke insisted on doing so. I really don’t know what he was hiding from~
Looking at the underground passages that extend in all directions, and only Deathstroke can lead the way to avoid getting lost, Barry Allen suddenly felt speechless. This kind of place... If there is a chance in the future, it would be better to let the partners of the Justice League seal it. How can a good metropolis change?
It must be the same as his Deathstroke's back garden. How did Clark do it...
As if aware of Barry's gaze, Deathstroke, who was leading the way, turned his head and said calmly to Barry behind him, "I will abandon this underground passage after everything is over."
"Ah? Abandoned? What do you mean? Are you ready to change your ways?"
"Return from evil to righteousness? Huh~" Deathstroke snorted contemptuously, then turned his head and continued to move forward, while saying coldly, "It's just because once outsiders enter my refuge facility, no matter whether I brought it in or not, they will be taken in later.
I discarded it, just to be cautious."
"You guy..." Barry gritted his teeth in displeasure and snorted coldly and turned his head.
Looking like Death Knell playing with a child, Ashes, who was still wearing a slave turban, couldn't help but smacked his lips, and then lowered his voice and asked softly, "Hey, how far do we have to go to reach our destination? It's ten miles away.
It’s been a few minutes… You’ve gotten lost, right? This place is very winding…”
Deathstroke did not turn his head, but continued to lead the way while saying calmly, "It's only ten minutes, do you only have this much patience?"
"Oh oh oh... My patience is much better than you think, but I don't like to waste time in places like this. Generally speaking... I use teleportation when I am in a hurry~"
"Teleport?"
"Yes! Teleportation! Mr. Cinder's teleportation is very fast! You can reach anywhere in an instant! It is much more powerful than your pathetic mouse hole!"
As he spoke, Barry raised his face and looked at Deathstroke with disdain, as if he was the one who could teleport. However... Barry's other hand obediently took out Orochimaru from his arms and gave it to him.
The motion sickness medicine given to him was firmly held in his hand...
Turning his head and taking a deep look at Ashes with the funny mask, Deathstroke gently shook his head and said, "It's no longer necessary. We're here. Above our heads... is the statue of the Lord of Darkness, where the people captured by him are tied up."
, the superheroes... Tsk, although the fact that they stood up for the world is quite touching, but... they were still a little brave and foolhardy. Almost immediately, all the superheroes fell in the darkness.
The king's army. Then he was tied like an animal to the statue above our heads that looks exactly like you."
Ashes fell into silence for a moment, neither raising nor lowering his head. He just narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at the death knell in front of him and asked with a serious face, "Are you sure that above your head is the statue that binds all the superheroes? Are you sure?
…Are they all here? Are you sure they are all still alive?”
Hearing Ashes suddenly raising such a question, Death Knell couldn't help but let out an unpleasant murmur, but no one had ever questioned him like Death Knell, and even if they had, he would have made a hole in his forehead.
but now…
Resisting the urge to draw a gun and shoot, wanting to open a hole in Ashes' head, Deathstroke took a deep breath, then nodded gently and said, "From my point of view, that's right.
, I have already investigated the situation in advance, there is no problem here, all the captured superheroes are bound here, and they are all still alive."
Looking at Ashes who was silent, Clara tilted her head in confusion, and asked softly to Ashes, "What? Little Ashes, did you find any problem?"
"Ah... also... it's not that I found anything, it's that I didn't find anything."
Looking at Ashes who tilted his head as if he was melancholy, Barry Allen asked with some confusion, "Huh? I didn't find anything? Isn't it great that I didn't find anything?"
"Is it good? When I say I haven't found anything, it means there really is nothing~ I don't even feel it, not even the soul aura of your friends! There is no soul aura from other existences either. In short, it's true.
…The kind that has nothing.”
Hearing this, Deathstroke couldn't help but turned his head, looked at Ashes who was shaking his head, frowned slightly and asked, "Be specific, what does it mean? And, soul and stuff... are you serious?"
"
Although Deathstroke was wearing a helmet, Ashes could clearly feel that this guy was looking at him with a very impolite expression. Could it be that he took his words as feudal superstition?
After coughing slightly, Hui Jin nodded seriously and said, "Isn't that of course! You must be serious. If you don't feel the soul breath, it means there are three situations. The first one is that we are in the wrong place."
Deathstroke snorted coldly, shook his head slightly, and said with absolute certainty, "It's impossible, it's right here, it can't be wrong."
"Okay then, there are only two situations left. In the second situation, the person tied to the statue is dead. Only dead people will have no soul."
Barry suddenly felt that the sky was about to fall. He looked at Ashes in disbelief and asked, "What? They... you said they are all dead? But... but how could it be? I remember... they are obviously still alive, but they are just tied up."
It’s just on the statue...how could it be..."
"Normally speaking, you will die if you are tied there for a few days..." Looking at Barry who was suddenly in a mess, Hui Jin reached out and patted his shoulder gently, comforting and said, "But don't worry.
, this is just a guess, and compared to this guess, I am more inclined to the last guess..."
Having said this, Ashes finally slowly raised his head, looked at the top of his head, and said with a serious face, "The most likely thing to happen now is that the bastard King of Darkness knows that I will come sooner or later, so here
I have set up something like a barrier. I don’t know what other functions it has, but at least it can interfere with my soul perception. Not to mention them, even the souls of you are starting to become blurred here.
Or am I aware of your existence, and you are still right in front of me..."
After hearing what Hui Jin said, Barry couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Barry looked at Hui Jin helplessly and whispered, "Mr. Hui Jin, can you not be scary... Can you do it again next time?"
Finish talking about sex?”
Shrugging lightly, Hui Jin shook his head indifferently and said, "Things like barriers definitely exist, but the problem is that I can't guarantee their life and death. After all, as I just said, they are tied there.
Being exposed to wind and sun for several days without eating or drinking would definitely kill anyone!"
When Barry heard these words, he couldn't help but laugh, then shook his head gently and said, "They... are all superheroes. They shouldn't die so easily. But having said that, Mr. Ashes, I am still a little worried."
Ah, indeed it would be better to go up and see with your own eyes..."
After saying this, Barry was about to climb up to see what was going on above, but before he could reach out and grab the ladder, he was pulled back by Ashes!
"Wait a minute...you want to make trouble?"
"Um... I want to see their condition and see if they... are still alive and so on..."
With a helpless sigh, Hui Jin shook his head gently and said, "It's not that simple. As I said just now, there seems to be a layer of enchantment covering the area. It's now known function is to block my soul perception.
But who knows if it has other effects? What if there is one? Aren't you just going to die if you go up like this?"
After hearing this, Barry Allen, who stretched out his hand to go up, slowly retracted his restless little hand, then looked at Ashes at a loss and asked, "Then...what should we do now? Let's just...just stand there.
Are you here?"
Hui Jin frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he suddenly took out a set of armor from his backpack and threw it at his feet...
Seeing the armor that suddenly appeared, Deathstroke couldn't help but be startled. Then he raised his head and looked at Ashes and asked with some surprise, "What is this? Magic? But what are you doing with the armor? Are you planning to go up by yourself?"
"Of course not, I am planning to let it go up~" As he spoke, Ashes stretched out his hand and pointed at the armor scattered on the ground~
As soon as he finished speaking, the armor parts here suddenly began to move, slowly put together, and got up from the ground!
Deathstroke, who has seen strong winds and waves, will naturally not be frightened by such things, but he is still somewhat surprised. Those armors are just simple armors, and there are no motors or anything else inside, which means... super powers or something like that.
Is it? But what kind of ability it is... we still don’t know yet~
Controlling the armor, he climbed up step by step. Using the armor, Ashes opened the hidden passage above his head and returned to the ground...
The street is still the same street, still desolate, the sky is still the same sky, still filled with dark clouds, but between the sky and the earth, there is a statue standing upright. Through this armor, Ashes can see that this statue is standing
In a place that looks like a central square, something seemed to have been placed there, but it had been smashed to pieces. What stood there again was a huge statue in black, with one hand clenching a fist toward the sky... My own...
