[Comprehensive British and American] The vest system of the son of hell

As for what?

A big meal was stolen.

Tony Stark thought nonchalantly, of course, he wouldn't say this in front of Strange.

After all, the embarrassment of the Supreme Master in the field of money has long been an open secret of the Avengers and even the entire superhero circle.

He resisted the urge to laugh and asked, "Are you going to come out of your body at the speed of light or—"

"My big meal! You can't enjoy a big meal when the soul is out of the body!"

Strange emphasized angrily.

Tony: "Then where can I wait for you?"

"Just give me the specific coordinates of Matthew. I will handle other things myself."

"it is good……"

Tony readily sent the coordinates of Old Pete's convenience store to Strange in the Sanctuary of New York: "See you later——"

"Soon! See you soon!"

Strange swears through gritted teeth.

at the same time--

Old Pete's house.

The former fox Yuzao showed a table of delicious food to Matthew and Charlene: "So much delicious food, is it enough to offset the piece of snowflake beef I accidentally ate?"

"all these are--"

Charlene, a girl from a small town, showed an ignorant expression: "It smells so delicious...it looks delicious——"

"Of course, these are the masterpieces of the best chefs in New York, and they can only be eaten by making an appointment three months in advance through normal channels."

"Hurry up and praise me" is written all over the face of the fox in front of Yuzao.

Charlene was new to the world, and thought that the delicacy was obtained by the fox Yuzaoqian from other people through magical means. Hearing this, she blurted out: "Tamazaqian, you are so amazing——"

"hey-hey--"

The fox in front of Yuzao raised its big tail as long as its body, walked up to Matthew with its head held high, and fell down "Bada", rolling on the ground coquettishly begging to be touched.

Matthew: "Do you dare to swear that you obtained these foods through normal and legal channels?"

"certainly--"

"Gourmet food is right in front of you, why bother about its origin?"

Harry was attracted by the aroma and walked into the kitchen. Seeing the Michelin star meal on the table, he picked up a piece of well-grilled steak and dipped some foie gras into his mouth. It’s still close, but this kind of small place can eat the food of New York’s high-end restaurants, and you can’t be too picky—”

"Harry, don't you mind that these things might be stolen?!"

Matthew reminded loudly.

When Harry heard this, he laughed loudly and said, "So what if it was stolen? This place is at least [-] kilometers away from New York, unless the other party is also a magician, otherwise he will only think that he was unlucky and encountered a supernatural event—"

"Even if the sufferer is a magician, since he has been able to reverse-lock my position from my magic traces and chase me here, he must be a top-level great magician. A person with this status may care about a good meal ?"

Tamamoko said confidently.

In the ancient times when she was not captured by the Sandman and became a resident of the dreamland, most powerful magicians or onmyoji enjoyed the support of the state. They had a noble status and lived a luxurious life. His own fox demon is facing the enemy head-on.

however--

Now is the world a thousand years later.

The delicacy that was taken away by the fox in front of Yuzao with magic was a treat that the extremely poor sorcerer Strange saved up for more than half a year!

and so--

The fox in front of Yuzao presumptuously prepared to invite everyone to sit down and enjoy delicious food, but a whirlpool rolled outside the window, and then, a middle-aged thin man with a mustache appeared in front of Matthew and others.

"Strange?"

Matthew was surprised...

Charlene asked Matthew, "Are you your friend?"

"certainly--"

"We haven't been friends since 10 minutes ago! I don't have a bastard friend like you who stole my dinner!" Strange roared.

Matthew was speechless immediately: "I didn't steal your—"

"Where did you get the food on this table! It was conjured out of thin air! It was stolen from some unlucky magician's table!"

Strange was in a fit of anger at this time, and couldn't hear Matthew's explanation at all. His eyes were wide open, his hands were condensed with magic, and his whole body glowed red: "Matthew! You must give me an explanation! A shameless person who can make me forgive you Behavioral explanation!"

"Strange, I didn't steal your—"

"For this big meal! I saved enough money for more than half a year! You actually stole it! Even a piece—ahh! My steak has already been bitten by you! It's still my favorite part!"

Strange is on the verge of going berserk.

After all, he was really poor and he was really looking forward to this gourmet meal that he spent more than half a year saving.

"Matthew! Let me tell you seriously, it's too late to say anything now! I will never and will not accept your apology! Never! Never!"

While speaking, Strange lifted Matthew's collar, ready to—

"But I'm not the one who brought your dinner from New York to town."

Matthew shouted: "It's the fox next to me! It ate the snowflake beef that we ordered for dinner. Afraid of being punished by me, it offered to get real delicious food to compensate us!"

"really?"

Strange looked at Tamamoen Fox beside Matthew.

The fox in front of Yuzao realized that the situation was not good, so he decisively pretended to be a stupid fox who couldn't understand human language, and rolled and acted like a baby against Matthew, making whining noises from his mouth.

Strange was fooled and said to Matthew: "It's obviously an ordinary fox."

"Can an ordinary fox have such a long tail? Also, it's summer, how can a fox in the wild have snow-white and thick fur in summer?"

Matthew pointed out the loophole of Tamamo former fox.

Hearing this, the fox in front of Yuzao hurriedly explained: "I am a hybrid of a fox and a Samoyed! They are both canids, and there is no reproductive isolation!"

After speaking, it remembered that its current fox design is "a stupid fox who can't speak or understand human language", trembling with fright, trying to hug its ears with its front paws, and making a pitiful surrender: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to steal your feast! I'm just too scared. If I don't, I will be beaten to death by my master!"

"Your master?"

Strange looked at Matthew again: "You really are a bastard! Let the fox steal things! After stealing, give it to the fox! I'm going to the Animal Protection Association to sue you for cruelty to wild animals!"

"Is the fox demon also within the scope of acceptance by the animal protection organization?" Harley, who was watching the play, questioned her soul.

Strange was stunned: "..."

Matthew took the opportunity to break free from Strange's grip, and invited with a smile: "Since you've come here, why don't you enjoy delicious food with us?"

"The table is full of big meals made by chefs for me! Don't make it sound like you are inviting me to dinner!"

Having said that, Strange sat down honestly and shared a big meal with Charlene, old Pete, Matthew and Halle.

As for the Tamamo former fox who caused this series of turmoil——

"According to the Eastern saying, you have to face the wall and think about your mistakes now!"

"Oh……"

Yuzaoqian fox squatted in the corner reluctantly, flicking its big tail back and forth.

……

After dinner, Matthew saw that Strange had no intention of leaving, so he walked out of the hut with Strange in the name of helping Charlene take out the trash, and said straight to the point, "How long are you going to stay here?"

"Your fox stole the big meal that I saved up for more than half a year. I want to eat and drink by your side until all your debts are paid off!"

Strange looked righteous.

Matthew: "Is this the truth?"

"Is the dignified supreme mage still—"

"During dinner, your eyes kept falling on Charlene."

Matthew ruthlessly poked at Strange: "Why?"

"What do you say?"

Seeing that Matthew saw that he didn't stay away all because of the feast, Strange also pointed out: "Why did you stay, and why did I stay!"

"Do you know why I stayed?"

"Please, I am the supreme mage who protects the earth!"

Strange had an expression of "you think I'm an idiot": "Tony came to this town because of my calculation results."

"so--"

"Even if there is no such thing as your fox stealing my big meal, I will arrive at the scene after confirming the exact location of Mengvortex, and intervene in this matter..."

Strange said, "The dream vortex is a huge disaster that may affect reality."

"Sure enough."

Matthew threw the big bag of garbage into the trash can, and then asked Strange: "About Dream Vortex, is there any record in the Sanctuary?"

"There are some records, the content is vague and not detailed. It can only be confirmed that if the disaster caused by the dream vortex is not controlled, it may eventually lead to the destruction of reality. Moreover, even the rudimentary dream vortex may cause a large number of deaths."

"so serious?"

Matthew was a little surprised.

He knew that the development of the dream whirlwind to the final stage might lead to the dream of a thousand cats that reshaped reality, but——

The primary dream vortex that only allows the people involved to see each other's dreams, which leads to a lot of fighting and friction, may also lead to a lot of deaths?

"The dream swirl this time is not an ordinary dream swirl, it is a dream swirl mixed with reality."

Strange said with a wry smile: "According to the records of the sanctuary, if a person who is involved in this kind of dream vortex that blends reality kills someone in the dream, then the person killed by him/her in the dream Corresponding people in reality will also die.

In addition, due to the subjective dominance of the dreamer in the dream, not only does he/she not realize that he/she is really killing, but the act of killing is much less dependent on physical fitness and skills than in reality. If he/she is still a For lovers of horror and murder movies—”

"May cause a massacre?!"

Matthew blurted out.

Strange nodded heavily: "It is indeed possible."

"That's really—"

"So we have to prevent this catastrophe."

"By killing Charlene?"

Matthew tests Strange.

Strange was furious when he heard the words: "In your eyes, do you think I can kill innocent people indiscriminately in order to maintain peace?"

"so--"

Matthew looked at Strange's necklace pendant: "Will you use the Eye of Agamotto?"

"The Eye of Agamotto can only guarantee that I will not be affected by the power of the dream whirlpool after being involved..." Strange said, "the Sanctuary's records do not have a specific response to the dream whirlpool, so, If the situation deteriorates to a certain extent, I will consider killing Charlene."

"She is innocent."

"The world is innocent too."

Strange said with a little helplessness: "If we must find out who is at fault, it can only be the fate that makes Charlene the host of Dream Vortex!"

"But nobody can punish fate."

"Yes, so we can only follow our own hearts and make decisions that are least harmful to the world."

Having said that, Strange reached out and patted Matthew's shoulder: "What means are you going to use to intervene in this matter?"

"I?"

"Don't tell me you came to town and didn't do anything."

Strange smiled badly: "I know you have a strong backer. If it's him, any problem should be easily resolved."

"He will not meddle in secular affairs casually..." Matthew said, "Once He intervenes, the consequences will definitely be unbearable for all mankind."

"I know……"

Strange said distressedly.

He has completely merged with himself from the dark parallel world, and he can see that behind Matthew is an unfathomable chaotic darkness from the birth of the universe. Matthew is protected by this original force from the universe.

"In short, tonight, we all have to be careful."

After speaking, Strange returned to the cabin.

Matthew followed closely behind.

……

After confirming that Strange and Matthew had met and reached a reconciliation, Tony Stark breathed a sigh of relief, and said to the little boy Damian who was squatting on the window sill: "It's bedtime, why don't you go to bed?"

"I spend every night in Gotham with my dad—"

"This is a small town, not Gotham!"

Tony emphasized: "And the purpose of our coming to the town is to deal with Dream Vortex. How can we defeat Dream Vortex without going to sleep?"

"Dream Vortex is the magic side, it cannot be defeated by external forces."

Damian reminded Tony with a look of disdain.

Tony: "Then you have to fall asleep to enter the world of Dreamswirl and investigate Dreamswirl, don't you?"

"like……"

Damian nodded, and then shook his head vigorously: "Hey! Tin Can! Aren't you going to enter the dream world to investigate Dream Whirlpool?"

"I didn't have the confidence to stay awake in the dream state."

Tony intentionally let Damian do things for himself, and deliberately boasted to the child: "You have received the most rigorous assassin training since childhood, and you can stay awake in a deep sleep."

"Yes, I can take turns resting the left and right hemispheres like a dolphin, and I am absolutely awake even in sleep."

Damian, delighted by Tony's flattery, announced proudly.

Tony: "So you are the best candidate to enter the dream world to investigate the dream vortex. At least between the two of us, you are more suitable than me."

"You're right, I'm going back to my room to perform the task now."

After speaking, Damian jumped back to his room.

Tony looked at the drab decor in the hotel room and thought maybe he should—

Get a good night's sleep?

……

At eleven o'clock in the evening, the town fell asleep, and there were only drunkards walking crookedly on the streets, and the security team members who were on late night patrol this evening.

Everything is so quiet.

Even the lights at Sailors Paradise were turned off.

Matthew was sitting on the bed, holding the dream stone obtained from dealing with the lucid dream incident in Gotham in his palm.

According to the Kespler system, the dream stone can keep him conscious even if he is involved in the dream vortex. Neither the host of the dream vortex nor other people involved in the dream vortex can see his dream, but he can see it. Everyone's dream.

"Sounds like I'm a bystander of the world," Matthew quipped to himself.

【Respected and great master, you are indeed a great and unique existence——】

The system flattered without hesitation.

Matthew: "Will you enter the dream vortex with me?"

【Respected and great master, if conditions permit, your devout, loyal and generous servant Kespler will do his best to stay by your side for a long time, but I will also be affected by the dream whirlpool, so...】

"You're not going to go in?"

【Feel sorry--】

The system is expressed slickly.

Matthew smiled, did not comment, closed his eyes, and the dream stone in his palm began to glow.

The dream has come.

……

On the other side of the wall, Charlene, who knew nothing about being the host of the Dream Vortex, had completely fallen asleep, breathing steadily.

She had a dream, a weird and wonderful dream.

In the dream, she flew into the sky, overlooking the familiar town.

Then, the residents of the small town also flew into the sky, maintaining their sleeping postures, but a curtain-like thing floated above their heads, and a dream-like scene was playing in a loop.

This dream is really interesting.

Charlene thought so in her sleep, and began to appreciate the different images floating above the heads of the townspeople.

Over the head of the neighbor Uncle Kerry, what he told the children in the town countless times was the picture of him chasing wild animals in the South American forest when he was young, the green and wet rainforest, the ubiquitous crisis, and the nervous and trembling hunter.

But different from the brave and wise version he told in the past, the situation shown on the canvas is that he is trembling and hiding in the woods for fear of being discovered by wild animals, relying entirely on the assistance of his companions, and being repeatedly scolded by his companions because of his incompetence.

After watching it for a while, Charlene gradually became bored, and turned to look at the girl who was the same age as her——Eva.

The curtain above Eva's head is playing a movie starring Eva - she has become a Cinderella with peerless beauty, whether it is a king or a prince or a duke, a poet, a musician, a painter, all men are madly in love She, in order to get her love, quarreled and even agreed to a duel...

Recalling Eva's nerdy appearance in her grandmother's thick sweater and sitting silently reading a book in the small town library, Charlene suddenly felt that the beautiful Eva in the curtain was very funny.

Afterwards, she looked at Aunt Serena again, and was surprised to find that the curtain above Aunt Serena's head was showing inappropriate content for children!

Charlene turned her head quickly in fright, but she blushed in fright at the more adult scene opposite.

This is……

This this……

Charlene subconsciously covered her eyes.

She is only 16 years old, and she has a certain curiosity about this kind of thing, but if she sees two people she is familiar with suddenly embracing and doing this kind of thing, she will still feel——

very bad!

Very bad!

What's more, both parties have other marriage partners.

I can't watch it anymore!

I want to turn my head, I want to forget these!

I must... must...

Charlene tried her best to let her eyes drift to the distance, away from these stimulating scenes.

She thought that most of the people living in the hotel were people she didn’t know, and the content of the canvas floating above their heads should not embarrass me.

With this in mind, Charlene looked in the direction of the hotel.

There are indeed many sleeping people there, and the curtain above the head is also playing various images.

The picture of someone is playing games with his daughter as a father, the sun is shining outside the window, and the daughter's smile is like a flower blooming;

The picture of someone is embracing and kissing a man who looks like a prince in a romantic castle, surrounded by applause urging them to get married;

There are also pictures of people playing with their parents on the beach when they were young, the waves beat their ankles, and there are white shells around their feet...

Of course, pictures full of adult content also exist, but because the faces in the pictures are not familiar to Charlene, she no longer feels embarrassed, and enjoys them casually, as comfortable as a walk in the garden.

Sudden--

Charlene stopped in her tracks.

She was attracted by the bloody picture on the curtain above the head of a man in front of her, which was comparable to a horror movie.

The camera perfectly shows how the victim is tortured and cut with various tools by the killer from the perspective of the killer, the blood is constantly spurting out, the victim keeps begging, the scene——

No!

I'm going to vomit!

Disgusting!too horrible!

Charlene covered her mouth in pain.

She is only a 16-year-old girl, and these bloody scenes are really true for her young——

"Don't look any further."

A voice sounded behind Charlene.

She turned her head and saw Matthew.

Of course, there is a certain difference between the Matthew who appeared in the dream and the Matthew in reality. The Matthew in reality does not glow like the Matthew in the dream, and the light is emitted from the inside of the body.

"Are you in my dream?" Charlene asked.

Matthew nodded.

He was about to explain further, Charlene asked with great interest: "Is this the magician's special power?"

"That's understandable."

Matthew stretched out his hand, trying to make the girl forget the serial killer's dream, but when his hand touched Charlene's shoulder, his hand turned into nothingness.

What's going on here?

Matthew asked the system.

The system is silent.

Instead, Charlene asked in confusion, "Matthew, a circle of words popped out of your head just now."

"Words popping up in a circle above my head?"

"Yes."

Charlene read aloud earnestly and said, "What's going on? The words popping out of your head say so."

"I……"

Matthew was speechless.

He is now sure that the system deliberately did not answer himself.

Because this is the dream world.

Everything in the dream world is under the control of the host of the dream whirlpool, Charlene, although Charlene, the ruler, still doesn't know anything about the identity of the ruler.

"What happened? You seem to be dreaming and not dreaming? Also, what is the curtain above those people's heads? Why are there pictures on the curtain? And these pictures seem to be theirs..."

The girl thought for a while, then asked cautiously, "Dream?"

"Ah."

Matthew nodded, affirming the girl's suspicion.

Charlene gasped when she heard that, "Did I just see someone else's dream?"

"Correct."

"Because of your magic?" the girl asked simply.

She took it for granted that all the abnormalities she experienced in the dream were caused by the mysterious magician in front of her.

however--

The fact is—
