Chapter 153

"Did you know?"

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

After that, she kicked the thief who put his hand into her pocket next to her, making the guy who was caught off guard knelt on the ground, standing next to Katherine's Selina snorted, because she stayed up late to "work" and she already had With bags under her eyes, Miss Thief was in a bad mood, because last night's "work" could not be completed.

She was coldly snorted, her long legs over 1.2 meters swayed, kicked the dagger that the thief took out, and then pierced it into his palm with a sharp heel, splashing blood, ruthless.

If this is in the downtown area of ​​Manhattan, it is estimated that a group of onlookers have already attracted a crowd at this time, but unfortunately this is only the alley of the back street of West Village, which is rich in humanity. No matter how the thief howls, it will change. No matter what he was about to be beaten up, Katherine threw the drink into the trash can, and reached into the cello box behind his back. When he took it out, there was already an extra black and cold gloss. Metal rod.

"Block me for a block"

The 14-year-old little girl said to the little sister who was wearing a black trench coat next to her. The latter stood up knowingly and stood in front of the two people. , And then there was a scream, and there seemed to be the sound of teeth being broken. 5 minutes later, the refreshed Katherine took out the bloody mobile phone from the thief who was lying on the ground, who didn’t know his life or death, and pressed 911. Glancing at the nearby house number,

"No. 27, Greenwich Village, someone is dying and bleeding a lot. Come!"

She hung up the phone and threw the phone at On the ground, with a foot smashed, Selina hugged her shoulders and watched Katherine's behavior, she was frowned,

"Wow, I found out that murderous aura is so big when you came back this time. Who has offended you?"

"Nonsense"

Katherine rolled the eyes to her, "I'm not a little thief like you who can't get on the stage. Sister will inherit a big gang in the future. Now I just practice Practice hands."

"Okay, okay, can't afford to offend cannot afford to offend."

Selina shrugged, she took up Katherine's arm, one big and one small two youths The beautiful girl was talking and laughing into the flow of people, but after a few minutes, two people stood at the end of the avenue with all doubts, standing in front of a shop with a quaint atmosphere, Selina scratched. After scratching her head, the lady thief who has recently gained fame in New York looked at the weird sign above the shop, a circle with several parts cut away, she said puzzledly,

"Is there this shop here? "

Katherine shook the head, looked around, and said for sure, "Jonathan teacher lives near here. I have been studying cello with him for half a year, but I never knew there was such a thing here. Look at the shop, it actually sells incense! This is really fun."

Selina's instinct as a thief in this brief moment began to warn her wildly, telling her that something was wrong here, but she was watching By the time the jewelry with religious significance placed on the counter in this 19th-century-style shop, her heart that belonged to the thief began to beat feverishly again.

"Let's go in and take a look!"

Selina whispered, and then pulled the struggling Katherine into this weird shop.

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

From the outside, this store has no signboards, no decorations, and is quiet, except for the simplicity and quietness. It's like an old man who is dying, there is nothing special, but after the two girls really walked into it, they found that everything around them had changed. The glass door was like a boundary, stepping into it. The light suddenly became dim, but it was not the dim dim that made people disgusting, on the contrary, it gave people a pure and deep feeling.

The classical staircase made by Redwood, surrounded by various collections, and the glass separates them from the outside world. It is like the private collection of an old professor. It seems that even the air has become much better.

Katherine looked around the furnishings. She found that the shop’s walls were covered with various pictures, including records of battles between people and gods, as well as some epic wars. In the center of the picture, there is another hand-painted painting of a majestic Snow Mountain. Each painting is so vivid, as if it makes people feel like it, while Selina has already drawn out a small magnifying glass, looking at it shiningly. The letter printed by a copper tiger placed on the table.

She did not come to be a black cat thief for money, she just likes this job, as Cyber ​​once said, her in the bones is flowing with restless blood, and she is also very rich point.

"Two people, can I help you?"

A low but gentle voice suddenly sounded, causing Selina and Katherine to assume a defensive posture at the same time. The perception of is impossible. Someone approached quietly, but when they lifted the head, what they saw was a yellow man wearing black practice clothes, black hair, small eyes, and a full face. , It doesn't seem to be easy to touch, if you only look at the face, people can't help but want to back off.

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

"Who are you? Where is this place?"

Katherine's hand reached into the cello box behind her. If you look closely, you will find that her palm is already "Melting" into the wooden box, grabbing the black metal stick, the instinct from Alpha Mutant is telling her that this person in front of her is very difficult to deal with.

Selina's left hand was also placed on her belt, don't get me wrong, she didn't intend to use the belt to slap people, it was a black leather whip wrapped around the belt, the catwoman's weapon.

The person in front of him seems to have not noticed the small movements of the two people, he gently said with a smile,

"This is a sanctuary, I am the host here... follow Your habit, you can understand it as a temple, you can call me "king"."

"Temple?"

Selina's pair of "I read less, don't lie to me" "", she looked around and raised her pretty brows, "here?"

"Come on, sit down and talk."

Wang stretched out his hand and said, "Please Katherine and Selina looked at each other and sat opposite him. The latter’s left hand was lightly waved on the table, and three cups of hot tea with aroma appeared on the table. It was as magical as magic. This One hand made the two girls stare, but the latter was just a mysterious laughed. He looked at Katherine and whispered,

"You come from Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, right?"

"en?"

Katherine stared at him closely, without answering, Wang's picked up the teacup and said contentedly,

"Don’t be afraid, child, we and Professor Charles has a very good relationship, you can understand that we are friends."

After that, he looked at Selina again,

"So, what wish do you have in your heart?"

"Why do you ask?"

Selina countered, "How do you know we have a desire in our hearts?"

"Because there is no wish, there is no "destiny" People from can’t see and enter... I said before, this is a temple, we believe in the truly great power in this world, she guards all peace in this world, that’s hidden The power beneath the surface of the world is "Ancient One", Supreme Mage."

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

"Speak, I can divination for you once for free."

The king gently waved I waved my practice gown, squinted my very small eyes, and stretched out a finger,

"There is only one chance."

"Ooh, look Look at you, is it really okay for you to tell us this? That Supreme Master, this kind of thing is impossible for everyone to know, right?"

Selina is another series of sharp questions. , Her eyes sparkle with distrustful ray s of light,

"Say, what do you want? "

After she asked unceremoniously, she was pulled by Katherine's arm. The power of Wang's "hidden under the world" made her feel very touched, because as an Alpha Mutant She is one of them. She vaguely feels that this is a real and very rare opportunity.

"Do not worry about this issue. "

The king remained unmoved and said, "When you left here, except for the answers you got, you couldn't remember everything about the "Sanctuary". This is also where the strength of the Ancient One mage lies. , Or I can send you away now..."

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

Katherine has had a lot of contact with Cyber's, and she also learned some etiquette about that ancient country from Cyber. She put the cello box behind her back, stood up, folded her hands together, and bowed sincerely to salute. This attitude made Wang very satisfied. He was nodded.

As a follower who serves the Ancient One mage and stationed in the Sanctuary in New York, he is essentially a believer. His world and reality are Fragmented, and Selina's questioning has actually made him dissatisfied.

"Ask, child"

Wang put down his teacup, his expression became solemn, "I can feel Now, there are doubts in your heart, like a black hole, swallowing your compassion and kindness. A really good child should not have this kind of sorrow..."

"I I want to know..."

Katherine pursed her mouth, her big eyes sparkled with longing rays of light, and she was a little nervous. Selina couldn't help holding her hand. Miss Thief could guess What do you want to ask Katherine, the little girl said softly,

"I want to know, is my big 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 gem pendant exuding unique rays of light made Selina's eyes straighten. She was already a thief in New York. It’s been 4 months, but I’ve never seen such a perfect gem. Wang ignored her. He seemed to be communicating with some powerful force. He extends the hand.

"If you have anything related to him item, it's best to carry it personally and leave it to me. "

"Hmm"

Katherine hurriedly took out something from the cello box. When she saw it, Selina's expression became sad. It was a mask. It has been destroyed by flames and explosions, but I can barely see that it is a twisted ghost face. This is the last relic Robin brought to Katherine's, Cyber's. She placed it carefully on the king's palm.

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

"Strong bloody air, substantial smell of killing, evil Ghostly...it seems that your big brother is not an ordinary person either. "

"His name is Cyber, Cyber ​​Hawk, can he do it? King master? "

Katherine asked eagerly, Wang motioned her not to worry, he closed his eyes, and he silently said the great name, next moment, in the air behind him, a golden six-pointed starlight ring flashed Then, it was constructed into a more complicated rays of light.

On the edge of the halo, there was a string of beating golden runes. Selina who saw this scene was stunned. Before 1 minute, she thought that Wang was just A liar, but now, she can’t wait to worship the king...this thing is more exciting than some magic.

The golden rays of light overflowing with aura vibrate in the air like lines, like rays Katherine and Selina looked directly at the rays of light, and they could even vaguely see a mountain surrounded by wind and snow, a golden temple, and those with their backs facing them, meditating in front of mysterious patterns. Woman.

That is...Ancient One, Supreme Mage, one of the truly most powerful forces in the world.

"Ancient One, please tell me about Cyber ​​Hawk The message of..."

Wang is connected to the omnipresent spirit of the Supreme Being. With the help of this name and the message of the mask in the palm of his hand, a place surrounded by snow and wind appeared in front of him. , That faintly was a large dam. Wang’s spirit continued to deepen. He saw the secrets hidden under the dam, saw many soldiers who ordered and prohibited them, saw many pitiful persons locked up, and that cruel experiment. But just when he was about to find his goal, a clear and gentle voice rang in his ears.

"Stop it, Wang...that is a person who does not exist in this world, do not enter him Don’t change his destiny..."

Wang was shocked, and the scenes before him were all shattered, but after a while, he bowed his head and replied in a sincere voice,

"Yes, Ancient One mage. "

Five minutes later, Selina and Katherine stood blankly on the side of the street in Greenwich Village. They both holding heads, no matter how they recalled, they couldn’t remember the things from the previous 10 minutes. There was a blank, they looked back, there was an empty alley behind, but they obviously walked out of this alley just now...it seems that there is still a very gentle person, what is his name? Wang? Or Lee?

"What happened to us? "

Selina checked her clothes nervously, "This kind of sudden situation is really enough!" I don’t know if I was XX! Damn it! "

And Katherine looked at the note in her hand with a line written in flameboyant English,

"He is still alive, and he will be back soon By your side..."

Katherine gripped the note tightly, but the note turned into golden smoke and disappeared at her fingertips. The little girl looked around, and then heaved a sigh of relief. Although she forgot what happened, she felt a sense of inexplicable peace of mind.

"Thank you, great power..."
