Chapter 2: My Reflection
Just as he walked towards the staircase door leading below, the door slammed open, and a very imposing figure walked up from the door.
Su Ming's first reaction was that the person who had originally asked for Death Bell was here.
But a gust of wind blew and twisted the dense rain a little, and the neon glow of the Wayne Building illuminated him and the people who came.
He realized that things were not quite right.
On the other side, he was wearing exactly the same armor and armament, and his weapons and equipment were exactly the same, but he was slightly shorter than himself, about 1.7 meters.
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.
As if a subconscious reaction, he relied on his body's memory to take off the stick behind his backhand, just twisting and pressing, the originally shrunken short stick automatically popped out at both ends, and he held it firmly in his hand, posing a fighting starting style.
This is Death's beloved weapon, with powerful electric shocks and narcotic bullets at both ends of the long stick, and many times employers like to let Death Knell catch it alive and bring it back for the employer to play with himself.
And the actions on the other side are exactly the same as him!
If it weren't for seeing that person coming up from the door, Su Ming would feel that he was looking in the mirror, it was too synchronous, whether it was the speed of the splicing stick, or the posture he posed.
"Who are you?" X2
Both men asked at the same time, their voices whispering like hoarse demons under the influence of their masks.
"I'm the death knell." X2
The two of them said the same thing again, and the atmosphere between them became even more stiff, and with their weapons in their hands, they circled around a hollow circle.
The rain poured down, and the two didn't speak again, just went about their own thoughts, keeping their distance and quiet, and carefully observing their opponents before fighting, which is a martial arts master's habit.
Although he didn't know what the other side was thinking, Su Ming was sure that he was thinking more.
"What's going on? Another self? Or did it mean that a large number of people came through at that time, and everyone became a death knell? OR IS THIS THE REAL DEATH KNELL, AND YOU'RE JUST A COSPLAY ENTHUSIAST? But my physical fitness and mental speed are undoubtedly non-human......"
Of course, there are not a few people in the DC world who have such physical fitness and fighting skills, and there are a few who can fight better than Death Knell, but they all have their own names, and they don't need to wear yellow and black armor to pretend to be Death Knell's identity.
Thanks to the legendary thinking speed of ordinary people nine times, just within a few tenths of a second, all kinds of possibilities were thought out by Su Ming and ruled out.
Now the scene is deadlocked, if you want to retreat, then it will cause the pace to be unstable, it is easy to be hit by the opponent's attack, and it is even more impossible to turn away, showing your back will not end up in Gotham.
"Only fighting? Defeat each other and leave! ”
Needless to say, the idea came to both of them at the same time, and it was quickly adopted, causing them to take the same action at the same time.
"Bang!"
The metal sticks collided in the air, and the two men were of similar strength, each taking a step back, the water splashing under their feet, moving quickly, and the tip of the stick pointed at each other, guarding against pursuit.
"......Huh" Su Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he also inherited the fighting experience of the death knell, just like instinct, like an arm, he can completely exert the combat power of his body, with these skills and tricks, at least his life is guaranteed.
The other side didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't pursue, as if he was thinking about tactics like him.
"If the person opposite is an able-bodied person who is just wearing a deathknell-style helmet, it is very difficult to adapt to the lack of right vision. My attack should focus on the right side of his body, from the blind corner of the field of vision, because the nose is blocked, the right foot is the best choice! ”
Su Ming immediately formulated a tactic in his mind, and immediately turned the stick in his hand, played a stick flower, and pulled it towards the opponent's right foot.
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
The stick brought the sound of the wind, and the cold metal cut through the rain curtain, breaking every drop of rain into pieces in midair, and two black shadows wrapped in neon colors, drawing two vacuum planes and hitting each other.
"Smack!"
The sticks of the two collided in the air again, and it was clear that both men chose to attack each other's right foot and defend their own right foot, so this time the collision was a tie.
Because the two of them used a lot of force, they both turned around in reverse to unload the force, and then crouched on the ground, holding the ground with one hand and the other holding the stick behind their backs, like the tail of a scorpion, which is convenient for using the tranquilizer gun in the long stick.
But when both of them made a muddy splash and saw each other in the same pose, they knew that the plan to use anesthesia to plot had failed.
"Wiped it, I just came to the DC world and encountered such a beginningless and unfinished thing, it's obvious that we are all the death knell, even the memories and habits are the same, maybe we can talk about it? Both of them are transformers and martial arts masters, if they fight, they may have to fight for three days and three nights and will not be able to tell the winner, and there will be a lot of commotion......" Su Ming thought in his heart, so he decided to put aside the controversy, and the plan to knock down the other party and escape was not feasible.
"Wait!" X2.
The two of them spoke at the same time, Su Ming secretly rolled his eyes, it seems that the other party also has some concerns, and he doesn't want to entangle, and the key is that no one pays a commission to deal with such a powerful enemy, mercenaries can't do such a loss-making business, and no grudges and emotions are as real as green dollars.
"Lay down your arms and let's talk!" X2
"You put it down first!" X2
"Let's put it together!" X2
......
Su Ming was helpless, everything the two of them did was synchronized, and it was terrifying.
I am obviously an ordinary person from the otherworldly earth, not a real death knell, what is the tacit understanding of this mystery? How much have I been affected by the death knell itself, and even the way of thinking has become the same?
"No, it's that I've never had the experience of life and death with others, and when I used to be an old boy, it was better to be confused by the excitement of life, and I never dealt with these really dark things, so I relied on Knell's experience all the time, and adopted his way of thinking and means, I'm still myself, at least now I have a clear and objective understanding of myself."
Su Ming was thinking about things in his mind, and at the same time he dropped his weapons with the other side.
"Bang dang dang ....."
Both sticks were simply thrown into the rain, stained with sewage from the rooftops, and the two stood opposite each other, and the rain flowed down from the masks like a small waterfall.
"Say it!" X2
Seeing that the two of them were saying the same thing at the same time, Su Ming immediately tried to get rid of the influence of the death knell mindset, raised his palm, and put his other hand on the palm of his hand.
"Stop, stop, let's stop playing with our hearts, it's the creepiest thing I've ever experienced, I'll say first, okay?"
"It couldn't be better." The other side was obviously relieved, at least they were finally able to communicate.
"I'm a mercenary, codenamed Deathstroke, and my real name is Slade, but you can also call me Sue." Su Ming briefly talked about his background, because he couldn't figure out which parallel world it was, so he couldn't understand the other settings.
"Interesting, I'm also a mercenary, and my code name is Deathstroke, my real name is Cindy." The other side seemed to touch his helmet very uncomfortably.
Knell is different from other masked people, his black and yellow equipment is more of a warning color like a bee, and his identity is not kept secret at all, everyone knows that Slade is Knell, a myth in the mercenary world.
Think about it, too, if you make it mysterious, how can you have a business? At the very least, future customers who have financial resources can find themselves.
"What's going on? Did the military clone me with my blood again? ”
Su Ming knew that Death Knell had a military past, and genetic modification also came from the military, not to mention that there were so many cloned people in the DC world, and there were many forces with cloning technology.
"No, I don't think I'm a clone with you, the person who biochemically modified me has long since died, and there is only one enhancement potion."
Deathknell, who said that her name was Cindy, fumbled around the lower right edge of her mask, lifted it back, and removed her mask.
Su Ming's head was big for a while, this death knell called Cindy was actually a woman.
She has short blond hair, a cold and beautiful face, and is a standard American beauty, the only pity is that her right eye is also a black blindfold, which seems to be blind.
What made Su Ming feel incomprehensible was that she was only in her twenties and not an old lady.
If it's a female version of herself, she should be in her fifties......
Thinking so in his heart, he also fumbled under the mask, and sure enough, there was a very inconspicuous slip buckle, pressed and pushed aside, and the helmet was also taken off.
Cindy on the other side was also surprised, obviously there was something she couldn't understand.
Su Ming looked down, although he couldn't see the details clearly in the puddle due to the interference of the rain, he could still see that he was very young, with short golden flat hair, a handsome and unruly face, with a faint stubble, and a black leather eyepatch covering his right eye, he touched it, and he could feel the existence of no eyeballs under the blindfold, and he undoubtedly inherited the body of Death Knell when he was young.
The problem is that Knell's right eye was blinded by his wife with a gun in the old story. In the New 52 world, it was Damian, the son of Batman, who was poked blind. But in any case, the death knell in his twenties should still be a single-headed soldier in the army.
What's going on in this world line? How did you become blind?
"Male? Are you a man? Cindy's expression was cold, but there was disbelief in her tone.
Su Mingcai is depressed, the death knell has become a woman, right?
"Is it strange for a man?"
"A man as strong as you is very rare, and among those with superpowers, I only know 'Wonder Hero'."
Cindy walked under the giant 'W' of the Wayne Group logo, pulled out a cigar, lit it in her mouth, and felt like she needed to take some nicotine to think about what was going on.
Su Ming walked over, and there was no longer a fight between the two, and their original doubts had now turned into common confusion. In the pocket where Cindy took out the cigar, Su Ming also had a small cigar box on his body, he also took out one, and the two stood together, swallowing the clouds in silence.
When he heard Cindy mention Wonder Man, he basically knew which world this was.
One of the many parallel worlds of the DC Universe, Earth 11, is a world ruled by Amazons, where both supervillains and superheroes are women's versions.
Batman becomes Batwoman, Superman becomes Supergirl, Aquaman becomes Sea Queen, Flash becomes Flash Woman, and Cyborg becomes Daughter of Steel...... The Joker became Rigoletto, the Penguin Man became the Penguin Woman, the Two-Faced Man became the Two-Faced Woman, and the Shadow Warrior Alliance became the Shadow Dancer Alliance.
The key is that the celebrities who were originally women are still women, Harley Quinn is still Harley Harleyquin, Poison Ivy is still Poison Ivy, Black Canary is still Black Canary, but with the original superheroes or supervillains, they have changed from couples or partners to girlfriends......
This weird world, I don't know how it was created, the DC editorial department is really brainy.
In short, the world has always had a low status of men, and it was not until modern times that there was a talk of gender equality, but generally women are engaged in careers outside the home, and men are responsible for housework at home. No way, the top leadership of the world is Amazon, they are all women, so the government officials are also women, they have more power and power, far better than men.
The only weirdness is that the original Wonder Woman, in this world, has become a man, called Wonder Woman, and is also the only known male superhero.
It's a pity that he was raised by the Amazon since he was a child, and in Su Ming's opinion, it is very weird, can you imagine what Wonder Woman's equipment looks like when it is worn by a muscular man......?
In Su Ming's opinion, he couldn't even talk to a man dressed like that.
"Cindy beside me seems to be the real death knell in this world, I should have brought that death knell's body from another parallel universe, and because of the relationship between crossing the wall of the world, I have become younger due to the influence of time fluctuations."
An assumption immediately occurred in his head, and at the moment, the probability of such an assumption was high.
