"Now that everyone is here, can we start talking about business?"

The doctor stood up habitually, pretending to be the moderator.

Strange felt very uncomfortable, and was about to refute——

"Calm down, listen to what he has to say first."

Matthew held Strange down and looked at the doctor with vigilant eyes.

The doctor didn't care about that.

He removed the small blackboard full of known clues and related inferences about the serial murders in Whitechapel, and said to Matthew and Strange seriously: "Although it may disappoint you, I must tell you that you yesterday A poor imitator was caught at night, and the real serial killer is still prowling the Whitechapel area at night, looking for new prey."

"and then?"

"Aren't you surprised?"

"I knew from the beginning that we caught a copycat last night," Matthew said. "I've seen a lot of serial killers who are either purely emotionless killing machines, or take pleasure and joy from killing." Satisfied sociopath, but last night that guy..."

Speaking of this, Matthew smiled slightly: "He acted like a fool, didn't he?"

"Yeah, like a fool."

The doctor repeated it subtly, and looked at Matthew with a half-smile: "Based on what you know about serial killers, is the serial killer in Whitechapel an antisocial personality who obtains happiness and satisfaction through killing?"

"No."

"why?"

"His killing steps are very mechanized, more like a machine that kills people to complete some kind of procedural ritual..." Matthew said, "At least so far, I can't read strong emotional traces from the murder scene he made."

"Is that right?"

The Doctor looked at Lady Lizard.

Mrs. Lizard thought carefully about the three murder scenes she had investigated, and nodded in agreement: "He is right, the real murderer should be an emotionless killing machine."

"So……"

The doctor thought for a while, and drew a circle on the blackboard: "We can narrow the scope of the investigation again, and only investigate people with medical experience and working as butchers."

Generally speaking, only medical dissectors and butchers can kill the dead and cut up her body with the skill and emotionlessness of a machine.

but--

"Fanatic believers should also be included in the scope of investigation..." Matthew said, "I always believe that the serial killings in the Whitechapel area are directly related to the high concentration of black magic entrenched in the sky above the Whitechapel."

"Is there a high concentration of black magic over the Whitechapel?"

The doctor's voice was distorted with excitement.

"Yes, a very, very high concentration..." Matthew said, "In fact, the icons on the altar in the auditorium began to bleed because they couldn't bear such a high concentration of black magic."

"Oh! Great! We're going to Whitechapel at once!"

The Doctor waved his sonic screwdriver eagerly.

As a member of the oldest race in the universe, the Time Lords, the Doctor is usually only interested in things that go against common sense and out of the ordinary.

"You guys come here too!"

The doctor who walked up to the TARDIS greeted Matthew and Strange.

Following his voice, the invisible TARDIS slowly revealed the camouflaged appearance of a blue police box.

"This is……"

Twentieth-century police box?

"Yes, a police box of the twentieth century, but it's only a disguise. Believe me, when you go in, you'll find..."

The doctor who had discovered Matthew and Strange from the 21st century raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

The TARDIS door opened slowly.

"The inside is bigger than the outside!"

"So you packed space magic into the police box?"

Even though he temporarily lost the ability to drive magic, Strange, who was still the Supreme Magician, calmly looked at the vast space in the Tadis.

Matthew corrected, "Strange, he's using alien space folding technology."

"You're right."

Strange nodded, walked into the cyberpunk-style Tadis, and looked around.

His over-calmness made Amy and Roy, who are the doctor's human partners, very uneasy.

They have traveled with the doctor so far, and never thought that someone who walked into the TARDIS for the first time would be indifferent to such a shocking super-common sense phenomenon of "the inside is bigger than the outside".

"That's it? Is there anything else you want to say?"

Amy asked Matthew.

Matthew nodded affirmatively: "That's it..."

"But……"

"Space folding magic does not exist beyond common sense to me. In fact, I often use space magic on a small scale in my universe." Strange said.

"turn out to be……"

You two are magical aliens from another universe.

Ordinary earthlings whose common sense has been impacted again—Amy and Roy stuck out their tongues together.

At this time, the doctor walked between the two of them: "Your reactions were exactly as I expected. Tell me, what are your identities? I already know that you are from a parallel universe in the 21st century."

"It was an accident that we appeared here..."

Matthew told the specific process of being deceived by a "gentleman" who claimed to be Professor Moriarty from England in the nineteenth century, and was sent to this world by time magic together with the supreme mage Strange, and the key points Falling on Strange's status as the Sorcerer Supreme, emphasizing that he was just an enthusiastic passer-by who accidentally got into trouble.

"Ordinary people don't take space folding as common sense, they don't have professional fighting skills, and they don't use black magic to summon ghosts."

Strange couldn't help complaining about Matthew, and introduced to everyone: "Matthew Fast Constantine, he has the blood of the famous dark magic family—the Constantine family."

"My black magic ability comes from blood, and I have never systematically studied black magic. As for fighting skills—"

Matthew smiled bitterly and said: "If you are an orphan born in Gotham's East Side like me, you will quickly master various practical combat skills, unless you don't mind becoming someone else's money-making slave."

"I've never been to Gotham, but your words convince me that it's a place full of lawlessness and evil..."

Amy looked at Matthew sympathetically.

Living in a community with excellent security since she was a child, she would still be harassed by hooligans on the road because of her good looks, not to mention that Matthew's living environment is a dark city full of crimes...

Sometimes beauty is a curse.

"Don't worry about me. Those who dare to harass me either had their teeth knocked out or their legs were broken, and some people had their third legs broken."

Matthew happily made jokes that weren't funny at all.

He can't remember the experience before his rebirth, but he only vaguely remembers that life at that time was full of Gotham's ordinary life - either beating the hooligans who tried to harass him or beating up the bastards who tried to rob him.

Amy looked at the smiling Matthew, with deep sadness in her eyes.

"You are really...very...very..."

"Don't feel sorry for me, at least I'm still alive."

Matthew turned to look at the doctor: "Are you going to use this..."

"Tardis..."

"Where are you going to take us with the TARDIS?"

"Whitechapel."

With that said, the doctor walked to the console, entered the coordinates of the Whitechapel, and—

"We have arrived."

Following his words, the door of Tardis opened again, and the auditorium of the Whitechapel was indeed outside.

"Well, the efficiency is not bad, right?"

"very good."

Strange even planned to design a similar small space folding transfer device after regaining the ability to control magic.

The doctor saw through his thoughts and said with a smile: "Tardis is a patented ration even in my hometown-Galifrey, it is difficult to imitate. But if you are willing to use the thing on your neck and my people In a trade, they should be happy to send you one."

"Impossible." Strange said, "It is a precious item left to me by my teacher."

"Then you can only slowly explore and try in the long years."

While speaking, the doctor led everyone out of the Tardis.

As the passengers left one after another, the concealment system of the TARDIS was activated, and the blue police booth gradually became transparent until it completely disappeared.

"Is this also space technology?"

"You can understand it this way."

The Doctor walks towards the altar where a great deal of black magic gathers.

He put on the special sonic glasses, looked carefully, and exclaimed: "Wow... this concentration... this concentration is amazing! So many gathered without knowing it!"

"Doctor, what did you see?" Amy and Roy, who saw nothing, asked anxiously.

The doctor took out a spare pair of sonic glasses: "Just take a look, don't look too much, this thing is very polluting."

"Oh……"

Amy took the sonic glasses, put them on, took a look, and almost fell down in fright: "This...these things...what are these things!"

"Pure dark elements, or in other words, black magic element particles."

The doctor takes back the sonic glasses lent to Amy.

"These things are dangerous to humans, aren't they?" Roy asked.

The doctor nodded seriously, and asked Matthew and Strange: "How much do you know about the Whitechapel?"

"I only know that if the black magic power continues to gather, it will become a catastrophe that endangers London and the whole world."

Because he didn't know the doctor's position, Matthew concealed something from the doctor and his party.

Strange said: "As long as I find a way to control magic, I will immediately exile these black magic forces to a different space to protect the real world."

"So have you found a way to harness magic again?"

"No." Strange said, "I can't use magic at all now."

"Okay... we need to..."

"PhD!"

Amy raised her hand suddenly.

"what?"

"Isn't the time lord able to extract any fixed point in time? Why not extract Mr. Strange who has not lost his magical ability until now?"

"It's a good idea, but unfortunately—"

The doctor raised his head and looked towards the height of the altar.

In the field of vision of the sonic glasses, a dark monster made entirely of black magic is looming.

"Although I'm not from Earth, but seeing such an amazing creature, I still couldn't help shouting—oh! Mygod!"

The doctor, who was aroused by the dark monster, laughed enthusiastically.

Matthew, who can also see monsters, added: "Not only is it weird, it's also ugly."

"Then we now—"

The doctor turned around and yelled at Amy, Roy, and Jenny who were just ordinary people: "Run!"

"why?"

Jenny, who is proficient in fighting, shook the weapon disguised as an umbrella: "I won't be a burden to you, although I can't see—"

"It's not a question of not being able to see it, it's..."

Lady Lizard tried to explain.

However, the dark monster, disturbed by the strange mixed aura emanating from the weird team that gathers the earthlings from the future, aliens, demons and humans, the supreme magician, and the ancient lizard people, has woken up and opened its ferocious blood-red eyes ,Prepare--

"Run! Quick! Back to the TARDIS!"

While shouting, the doctor threw the Tardis spare key to Amy and Roy: "At least you two must run right away!"

"Yes! Doctor!"

Amy grabbed the key and dragged Roy, who didn't know where he was, to the invisible TARDIS.

The only three on the scene who could see the shape of the dark monster, Mrs. Lizard, Matthew, and the doctor stood motionless, and the three pairs of eyes looked straight at the top of the altar.

Although Jenny and the Santa people couldn't see the monster, they could feel that the air in the church was getting more and more oppressive, so they held their weapons and entered the highest state of alert.

Strange was increasingly embarrassed by his own existence.

If he was still the supreme mage, it would be easy or even not worth mentioning to deal with the current situation, but——

Why is this!

who is it!

How did you seal my magic!

I can't go on like this, I have to—

make change!

At the critical moment, Strange's thinking was like a hurricane, and he thought of a brilliant plan that could fundamentally solve the suppression of magic power!

Since the normal way of magic will be suppressed and sealed by mysterious forces in this time and space, then I will use——

dark magic!

Yes, as a magician, Strange is not only good at white magic, but also good at black magic!

It's just that he follows his inner morality most of the time and suppresses his talent as a black magician.

now--

He wants to unleash his black magic talent!

"I...can...still...can..."

The pain was fleeting, and in the White Church, where a high concentration of black magic was accumulated, the black magic poured into Strange's body like being attracted by a magnet!

Then, the strange happened.

The menacing dark monster collapsed and shattered at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into the purest dark elements and merging into Strange's body.

Before Matthew and the others, who were ready for a tough battle, had time to react, their teammate, Supreme Mage Strange became the new master of the dark magic power entrenched in the White Church!

【I... feel...again...again...】

"Strange" floated in the air, uttering dark words from his mouth.

【This body is exactly what I want!Body full of power!Excellent!Simply... no!No! 】

After exclaiming, Strange, who was floating in the air, suddenly landed on the ground, and his eyes also changed from pure black spouting darkness to golden red whose sanity was clearly under control.

He enthusiastically walked towards Matthew and the others: "Sorry for worrying you. But the good news is that I can use magic again."

"Dark magic?" Matthew asked.

"Yes, black magic." Strange twisted his neck, "I am now the Dark Supreme Sorcerer of the nineteenth century."

"That's really... gratifying?"

Matthew looked at Strange suspiciously.

The doctor glanced at Matthew, then at Strange who had plundered all the black magic in the Whitechapel: "We can leave now, right?"

"You take that one first... oh...Tardis is leaving, I still have things to deal with."

Strange held his head up, breathing deeply the air soaked in the atmosphere of black magic.

"But……"

Mrs. Lizard wanted to say something, but the doctor signaled her to keep silent with his eyes.

Matthew said goodbye to Strange calmly and walked into the TARDIS without saying a word.

Then--

"Okay, let's start the brainstorming session to analyze the current situation and possible solutions."

The Doctor said straight to the point: "I think Strange, or our nineteenth-century Dark Supreme, looks very abnormal now."

"Yes, very abnormal."

Mrs. Lizard said directly: "On the surface, he once again became the supreme mage by controlling the black magic element. Although it is the dark version, the actual situation is that he is being corrupted by the dark element and may become our enemy at any time."

"So he refused to enter the TARDIS under the pretext that there were still things to deal with..." the doctor said, "The TARDIS is very sensitive to time and dark elements."

"So……"

Matthew tapped on the operating table: "You are discussing how many dark elements are contained in Strange's body? Is he or the dark elements in control of his body? Does he realize that his will is gradually being replaced by dark elements? ?”

"Yes, the answers to these questions matter!"

The doctor looked at Matthew approvingly: "Matthew, as a bloodline member of the famous black magic genius family and a friend of Strange, what do you think is the current state of our Dark Supreme Master?"

"I……"

Matthew showed a thoughtful expression.

The dull and serious atmosphere confused Roy—he didn’t have the thrilling experience of wearing sonic glasses to observe dark elements at close range, and, as soon as the dark monster was formed, he and Amy were ordered by the doctor to hide in the Tadis immediately—couldn’t bear it. I kept complaining, "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word?"

"It's good not to understand."

The doctor looked at Roy and Amy tenderly: "What we are about to face is a very terrifying and powerful enemy, a little carelessness will lead to death, so—"

"Doctor! What are you doing!"

Amy exclaimed, "You can't leave us!"

"No, I'm not going to leave you guys, I'm just going to send you home first, and then—"

The doctor glanced at Matthew and Mrs. Lizard and said, "Go back to this parallel world and fight the enemy with them."

"But--"

"I promised Song (River·Song) that I will never involve you in a life-and-death crisis again!" the doctor said firmly.

After hearing Ruiwen Song's name, Amy and Roy had to accept the doctor's arrangement.

"Okay, we...we go back...but..."

"but what?"

"We want to stay in London, England in the nineteenth century... for one more hour! Just one hour! Is that okay?"

Amy looked at the doctor with longing eyes.

This is London, England in the [-]th century in a parallel world. If you miss it, you will never experience it again.

"All right……"

Considering that he was only staying for another hour, the doctor nodded in compromise.

At this time, Tardis had also stopped in Lady Lizard's ancient divination hall.

Amy and Roy walked out of the Tadis, accompanied by Jenny, out of the divination house, and took a once-in-a-lifetime one-hour tour of London, England in the parallel world in the [-]th century.

Mrs. Lizard, who watched them leave, said with emotion: "Doctor, you really dote on them."

The Doctor shook his head and said, "I'm just making up for the damage I have done and will do to them."

"PhD……"

"nothing……"

The doctor pretended to smile relaxedly, and his eyes fell on Matthew again: "I think we should sit down and have a good talk."

"What do you want to know?"

Matthew's expression also became serious.

The alien who called himself the doctor made him feel stressed.

"First of all, it's about black magic."

The doctor directly hit the topic: "As the blood of a family of black magic geniuses, you have a fatal attraction to black magic elements. Why didn't a single drop of the black magic elements entrenched in the White Church enter your body when the accident happened?"

"Most magicians of the black magic department have self-protection methods against black magic..." Matthew said, "after all, black magic is more likely to get out of control than poisonous snakes."

"That Strange..."

"He dared to take the initiative to recruit black magic into his body, so he should have his own set of control methods."

"But……"

Mrs. Lizard recalled the moment when Strange absorbed black magic, and always felt that something was wrong: "He seems to have been completely occupied by black magic, at least, once occupied by black magic."

"In my opinion, it doesn't matter at all whether he's using black or white magic, as long as he's still our friend, is it?"

Matthew, who is essentially a hybrid of humans and demons, expressed it coolly.

Lady Lizard agrees with Matthew.

After all, in folklore, lizardmen are often considered to be the counterparts of demons.

As for the doctor—

He is only interested in adventure.

"So we've reached a consensus now?"

"Yes, we have reached a consensus."

……

at the same time--

On the streets of London in the Victorian era, Amy and Roy, who only had an hour to visit, accompanied by Jenny, bought a lot of small items with period characteristics.

"I want to use them for our wedding anniversary..." Amy said, "Mom and Dad will love it very much."

"Raven would like it too."

Roy, who already knew Raven was their future daughter, looked at Amy affectionately.

Amy: "Don't look at me like that, my centurion."

"But I want to look at you like this, for the rest of my life..."

Roy said involuntarily.

He never regrets following Amy into the Doctor's TARDIS, though the time adventures were fraught with danger and cost him his life and everything several times.

"Roy..."

"Amy..."

The honeymoon couple unknowingly entered the sweet mode of feeding each other dog food.

Jenny, who was choking on the dog food even though she already had a partner, turned around and pretended to look at the scenery.
