Marvel's Antiheroes

The New York Public Library is the largest municipal public library in the United States. It consists of the main library and 85 branches. It even has a dedicated Chinese section.

Duke was currently in the Chinese section, looking through the "mysterious" books, hoping to find an answer to his illness.

Rushed to the doctor

When medical treatment is useless, the only thing that can have a glimmer of hope is these mysterious powers.

What's more, unlike the earth, this world possesses various magical energies, which enhances Duke's confidence.

These ancient books are all in traditional Chinese characters, including running script, regular script, and even small seal script, but Duke doesn't seem to be struggling too much.

Duke's grandfather was a worker. Although he was illiterate, he admired scholars and frugally sent Duke's father to a school in a Chinese settlement, that is, a private school.

The old professor of the private school was a member of the Qing Dynasty who fled the war. The teaching materials were the traditional Three Character Classic, Dizigui, Shuowenjiezi, The Analects of Confucius, etc., all in traditional Chinese.

In addition, the old professor also handed over his own Yang style Tai Chi to the students, which was regarded as following the trend of education and offering physical education classes.

Duke's father learned these and taught them to Duke, so Duke is quite familiar with these books.

Speaking of which, Duke's name is also related to his grandfather's devotion to learning. Because his surname is Du, and there is a famous university called Duke University in North Carolina, south of New York State, so he got this name.

Both Chinese and English are available.

This has nothing to do with the dukes, monarchs, etc. that many people have speculated.

Among the many ancient books, Duke found the greatest possibility for the burning feeling in his mind.

The Tao Te Ching says: "Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. All things bear yin and hold yang, and the energy is in harmony."

There is a saying in Xue Xin Fu: A lonely yin cannot grow, a lonely yang cannot grow.

The Book of Rites says: "Happiness comes from Yang, etiquette comes from Yin, and all things come from the harmony of Yin and Yang."

According to the descriptions in these ancient books, Duke felt that he should have excessive yang energy, and the best way was to practice a method of balancing yin and yang, such as Quanzhen Xiantian Kung Fu, Wudang Golden Toad Kung Fu, etc.

But these exercises are the legendary secrets of various major sects.

There may be these sects in the Xia Kingdom, but Duke has no way to learn from them.

The second is to practice yin-attributed exercises, even some heretical ones. With the harmony of yin and yang, maybe the pain that burns the soul can disappear.

But Duke searched all the major libraries in New York and saw a lot of various theories, but none of the techniques.

Duke didn't even have the chance to treat himself as a dead horse.

This is very reasonable. Even though there are countless powerful beings in this world that affect the direction of the world, things like martial arts still cannot be seen everywhere like cabbage.

"Uh"

A soul-burning pain struck again, causing Duke, who was sitting in the chair, to shrink into a ball and tremble.

"Sir, are you okay, sir?" An administrator came over and gently tapped Duke on the shoulder and asked.

"It's okay, I have a little stomach cramps." After surviving the pain, Duke used this very "symptomatic" reason to fool the administrator.

The pain that burns my soul is becoming more and more frequent. This attack was less than two hours after the last one.

And the pain is not limited to the head, but extends to other parts of the body.

Duke walked onto a bus and sat in the corner, frowning, feeling very upset.

Yin attribute skills

Where can I get or learn this kind of technique?

This kind of thing that is classified as a mysterious side is out of the question and cannot be accessed at all.

Others who traveled through time were killing everyone, so maybe I, the unlucky guy, would be burned alive because of my overactive soul.

Yin attribute

Suddenly, a memory belonging to his ex popped up.

"The Vampire Case"

That was a case that happened in Brooklyn more than a year ago.

At that time, Duke had just passed the police examination, and this sensational case occurred in the jurisdiction of the 64th Precinct.

With the discovery of the first mummy that had been drained of all its blood, in half a month, more than thirty mummies were discovered in Brooklyn, all of them members of various gangs in Brooklyn, and it is unknown how many have not been found.

The appearance of this "vampire" made the entire Brooklyn night become silent, and even the most violent speedsters were unwilling to go out at night.

Ironically, the crime rate throughout Brooklyn has dropped significantly, and the security situation has never been better.

But this quiet and peaceful night seriously damaged the interests of one of New York's underground kings, Kingpin.

In the end, this "vampire" who left the police helpless was killed by the Hand and Kai ninjas invited by Kingpin.

Of course, at the subsequent press conference, it was revealed that the person who killed the "vampire" was a state trooper named Johnson, who is now a deputy chief superintendent, two levels higher than Haken, and has even more power. Much bigger.

The state police took the credit, but the 64th Precinct was assigned to deal with the aftermath.

Duke and Walker were assigned to search the "vampire's" residence.

During the search, Duke found a book written in small seal script on "The Art of Killing Tigers". He flipped through it briefly and found that the contents were very mysterious.

But one thing is basically certain, the Art of Killing the Tiger is a Yin-attributed method.

Thinking of this, Duke looked at his current location, got out of the car, called a taxi, and arrived at the warehouse of the 64th Precinct.

Every time the police search for something, after collecting information and taking samples, some of it is handed over, and some of it is returned to the original owner or heir. However, there are some unclaimed and worthless objects piled here.

Every few years, the police department spends a sum of money to dispose of the garbage in the warehouse to make room for a batch of garbage.

"Hi, Nick, this is old Tok's coffee and giant hot dog." Duke greeted the warehouse manager familiarly and handed him a package of high-calorie, high-energy food.

"Old Tok's giant hot dog, my favorite, thank you Duke, how are you doing?" Nick's size is not much smaller than Walker, but he is still keen on these three-high foods.

Duke sighed and said, "It's not very good. I'm transferring to a civilian job now. I'm bored. I came here to see if there are any books to read."

"Oh, damn mutants." Nick cursed the mutants who were lying on the gun, and then said: "You can go find it yourself. In a month or two, these things will be auctioned to those treasure hunters. The new city bureau The director is so naive, this place is full of garbage that has been through several hands, and those hyenas will not spend money to buy these."

Nick was actually the last resort, and the things that could still be sold for some money had been taken away by him long ago. However, the tattered and Chinese book of The Killing of Tigers was still there, I hope.

As a member of his own family, Duke easily entered the "garbage warehouse" of the police station and began a long search process.

"Uh"

While rummaging through, Duke suddenly fell headlong into the debris.

The pain that was like burning the soul struck again and spread from the head to the chest.

"huhu"

After the pain passed, Duke sat down and relaxed, stood up again, and began to search with difficulty.

After another painful experience, Duke finally found the book of tricks.
