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

"You won't make it because I'm here."

The doctor announced solemnly.

The dark version of Strange looked at them with disdain, and said: "How do you stop me? Just to avoid being thrown into a different space by me, you have to lock yourself at a specific point in time and space. And I, although I can't throw you into a different space once and for all, but I still hold the absolute initiative."

"Sorry, it's just that the TARDIS is locked by the doctor at a specific point in time and space. We, like you, can move freely!"

While speaking, Jenny and the Santars had already drawn out their weapons and aimed at the dark version of Strange.

——Considering that the enemy is the Supreme Mage, they use weapons made by Santa Star Technology.

"these things……"

"To deal with you! It's enough!"

Jenny, who was wearing a Victorian maid outfit, was aggressive, and the bullets made by Santa Star technology roared out of the TARDIS's protective force field, but was perfectly intercepted by the dark version of Strange's space magic circle.

"Use technology to deal with magic? You guys can figure it out!"

Dark Strange announced arrogantly, and prepared to—

"Strengthen the shielding force field!"

the doctor yelled...

As soon as the words fell, the Santa Star technology bullet bounced back by the dark version of Strange has rushed towards the TARDIS locked by the doctor in space and time!

boom!

The bullet hit the TARDIS shielding force field urgently strengthened by the doctor, and fell rapidly, smashing a five-meter-deep crater on the stone floor of the Tower of London.

"What should we do now?"

Jenny asked the Doctor and Mrs. Lizard.

Santa's technology is obviously ineffective against the dark version of the Supreme Mage.

"This is..."

The doctor looked at Matthew, to be precise, at "Janu" behind Matthew.

[After 3 minutes, Strange will attack again, his goal is to capture Matthew. 】

"why?"

[His behavior involves the future 10 minutes later, which is beyond my foreseeable range. I can only temporarily judge that this behavior will not cause direct harm to Matthew, and...]

"what?"

【You can't stop it. 】

After saying these words, "Janu" fell into silence close to the statue.

The doctor looked at Matthew again: "Everything he said, you..."

"heard it……"

"What are your plans?"

"Since being caught by Strange is the only unchangeable future he can see, I can only accept it." Matthew said pretending to be helpless.

He doesn't mind being captured by a dark version of Strange.

After all, so far, he has only used the most insignificant card in his hole - "Janu".

Not only is it not a bad thing to be captured by the dark version of Strange, but it is also possible——

"It seems that you are not opposed to being a hostage." The doctor said, he had noticed Matthew's unusualness long ago, and also saw that Matthew's attitude towards the unchangeable future captured by Strange was abnormally leisurely.

"Yes, I have no objection," said Matthew.

"why?"

"because……"

Matthew smiled: "Temporary secret."

"All right……"

The doctor shrugged indifferently, looked at the dark version of Strange suspended in the air again, and said as if talking to himself: "I know why high-level magicians have great power, but most of them don't think about ruling world?"

"Why?" the Santa asked.

Doctor: "Because almost all their time is spent reciting complex mantras accurately, especially those long, complicated and convoluted mantras, where even a single syllable mispronunciation may lead to irreversible catastrophe worldwide, There's no time to think about world domination."

"So that's the case, no wonder this guy floated in mid-air again without moving or speaking."

Jenny suddenly realized.

Dare to feel that the dark version of Strange in front of me is silent in mid-air in preparation for accurately reciting powerful but extremely complex mantras!

In case of misreading, a whole string of mantras will be invalidated and backfired on itself!

Jenny, who turned her mastery of fighting skills into muscle memory, suddenly felt that the cool-looking profession of magician was not enviable at all.

The dark version of Strange here——

As the doctor said, he was indeed preparing to cast a large-scale magic at this time. When the doctor suddenly pointed out the common weakness of magicians, he was inevitably agitated.

[Hurry up and stop!stop!It's too late to stop now! 】

The Strange consciousness in the main world shouted with all its strength, hoping to convince the dark version of itself from the parallel universe.

However, the dark version of Strange had already made his decision.

Even if he is an enemy of all multiverses, he will restore the universe that collapsed because of his overconfidence, and become the only Steven Strange in the multiverse!

【It's already too late... I in the main world...】

The determined dark version of Strange raised his hands and uttered a forbidden spell.

In an instant, the entire Tower of London was shrouded in scarlet, as if all the wraiths imprisoned here were revived in an instant.

A magic circle also floated on the ground.

The monster from another world summoned by the dark version of Strange stretched out countless tentacles with eyes, and assisted the scarlet covering the Tower of London to attack the TARDIS locked in time and space by the doctor crazily and tirelessly!

The dark version of Strange also used the Eye of Agamotto again, using the characteristics of the eternal demon god Agamotto to break through the disguise and penetrate the past, and confront the Tardis' Heart of Time head-on.

Time and space have been locked, so the impact of the monsters cannot cause substantial damage to the Tardis, but with the light of the Eye of Agamotto, it can greatly weaken the protective force field surrounding the Tardis, even ——

Create a force field loophole!

The force field hole that suddenly appeared was only the size of a thumb, which was still enough for monsters from another world to reach into their tentacles.

After passing through the force field, the eye-filled tentacles quickly decomposed into countless slender threads, rushing towards Matthew from all directions, entangled him, tied him up, tied him up, dragged him forcibly, and pulled out the TARDIS!

"Can't!"

Jenny was the first to notice the anomaly, and immediately ran over to try to stop it.

However, the tentacles of the monsters from another world already have wisdom and strength beyond ordinary people, and now they are under the control of the dark version of Strange. Jenny's help not only failed to solve Matthew's troubles, but also involved herself in it!

Mrs. Lizard and the Santa people were all shocked and tried their best to rescue Jenny and Matthew.

They cut down the tentacles with various weapons in an attempt to free the two from their bondage.

However, the alien monster summoned by the dark version of Strange is a magical creature, and technological weapons cannot cause actual damage to it, and it is even more tightly entangled!

"What now! Doctor!"

"Wait a minute!" the doctor replied hastily.

Knowing from "Yanu" that Matthew's capture by the dark version of Strange is an unchangeable future, he quickly ran to the TARDIS console and played "Dance of the Bumblebee" at ten times the speed. "'s dazzling techniques to strengthen and enhance the TARDIS's protective force field, trying to repair the loopholes and cut off the tentacles that drilled in, minimizing possible losses.

"call……"

After one operation, the doctor was exhausted.

Fortunately, at the last moment, the protective force field destroyed by the Eye of Agamotto and the tentacles of the otherworldly monsters was repaired. The tentacles that got into the loopholes were all cut off, but there was a strange eye-shaped rune on Matthew's ankle. arts.

"what is this?"

Jenny, who was also trapped by the tentacles but was not left with strange runes, looked at Mrs. Lizard anxiously: "Darling, what should we do now? The thing on his skin looks dangerous?"

"This is the brand of curse that Strange left on him." Mrs. Lizard said, "Only those who are proficient in black magic can dispel it."

"But……"

The person who knew the black magic best was Matthew himself, who was cursed by Strange.

"I see."

Matthew lowered his head pretending to be heavy, admiring the curse runes on his ankles with great interest, and thought: As expected of Kespler of unknown origin, even the Eye of Eternal Agamotto didn't realize that the system I use in this world is actually a system With the temporary body provided, the curse that Strange left on me can be erased with the simplest refresh of the body data.

The doctor and the others didn't know that he had won the game. Seeing him bowed his head and said nothing, they thought he was in grief and pain.

"Sorry, I was negligent, I thought I could change the established future."

"No, Doctor, you've done your best."

Matthew looks up...

Suddenly, he looked at the doctor and the others affectionately, and said, "The so-called destiny is the future that you can't avoid even if you try your best, isn't it?"

"but--"

"It's just that the body was marked by him, and it didn't fall to the point of dying."

Matthew glanced at the tentacle stump that was still struggling on the ground, and tried to pull out a miserable smile: "Doctor, please turn on the force field, let me go out and talk to Strange."

"Once you go out, you will be—"

"I am an indispensable and important sacrifice when he holds the dark ceremony, and he will not do anything to me until the ceremony officially begins."

In line with the principle of acting in a full set, Matthew used his acting skills comparable to a movie star to make a fearless sacrifice speech: "Besides, the purpose of our coming to the Tower of London is to save Roy, and we must break the current stalemate."

"So you are..."

Jenny's eyes were moist.

Matthew nodded "sincerely": "Yes..."

"Matthew—"

Jenny couldn't help hugging him and kissing his cheek: "You are the greatest and noblest magician I have ever seen!"

"I'm not as good as you think..."

so noble...

"No, in my heart, you are the real hero."

Jenny looked at Matthew adoringly.

The others also looked at him with admiration.

Matthew resisted the urge to laugh, turned around resolutely, stepped out of the protective force field of the TARDIS, stood in the sky where the wind was howling, and smiled "sadly" at the dark version of Strange: "You won, take me away !"

"You saw through the defeat."

The dark version of Strange smiled in satisfaction, and the magic rope flew out, binding Matthew tightly.

"hateful--"

In the protective force field of TARDIS, everyone was itching with hatred, but there was nothing they could do.

"One day, we'll...will..."

"What will happen? Are you sure we will meet again?"

The dark version of Strange laughed triumphantly, waved his magic cloak, and entered the Tower of London with the booty.

The monster he summoned from another world frantically shook its tentacles full of eyes, forcing everyone in Tadis not to cross the threshold.

"This feeling... this disrespectful feeling..."

Seeing the enemy's complete victory, Jenny was so angry that she punched the floor.

Lady Lizard smiled.

After the figure of the dark version of Strange completely disappeared from the wall, she said to her lover: "Things are not at their worst yet."

"What do you mean, ma'am?"

Jenny and Santa star looked at Mrs. Lizard curiously.

Lady Lizard looked at the Doctor.

The two suddenly realized: "Yes! We still have a doctor! With a doctor, the difficulties will definitely pass! The matter will definitely be resolved!"

The doctor shook his head and said, "This time, the protagonist is not me."

"Not a doctor?"

"Yes."

The doctor glanced at the high wall that concealed Matthew's figure, and showed an unpredictable smile: "Matthew is the key to solving the problem."

……

bang-

The iron door suddenly opened.

Roy, who was lying drowsy on the straw, was overjoyed, thinking that someone would come to rescue him, but——

"Why were you arrested too?"

Roy was sorry, but he still reached out to support Matthew whose hands were bound, trying to untie him.

"It's useless, it's a magic rope," Matthew said. "They're worried I'll run away."

"So I'm a piece of trash in their eyes who can't even escape?"

Roy is a little hurt.

Anyway, he was once the legendary centurion who guarded Pandora's box for 2000 years.

Matthew looked at this infatuated and innocent boy with sympathy, and with his help, sat against the wall: "Let's exchange information first. For example, how did you get arrested?"

"Actually, I don't know how I was arrested. I was shopping with Amy at the time when a carriage out of control rushed over. We were surrounded by the crowd and ran towards the alley, and we got separated from Amy without knowing it—— "

Roy shrugged with a wry smile: "When he came back to his senses, he had already been stuffed into a sack and sent here."

"What have they said to you since you were caught?"

"This one……"

Roy scratched his hair: "No one talked to me, only the jailer came and brought some bread and vegetable soup. By the way, do you eat bread? I kept a piece of it as dry food when I was going to escape."

"Thank me--"

Before he finished speaking, Matthew's mouth was blocked with bread by the enthusiastic Roy.

"Uh..." Matthew, who didn't need to eat, could only reluctantly eat Roy's bread: "Thank you..."

"You're welcome, in fact, I got you into trouble..." Roy said shyly, "You were caught trying to save me, right?"

"Yes."

"Where is this place?"

"Tower of London."

"Tower of London?"

Roy was stunned.

As a normal person with a basic education, Roy certainly knew that the Tower of London was once a prison for the enemies of the royal family, and many historical celebrities ended their lives in the Tower of London.

The most famous of the famous people who died in the Tower of London in the past is Queen Anne, the mother of Queen Elizabeth I.

It is said that until the 21st century, some tourists still claimed to see the unfortunate queen wearing a white robe and holding her head, wandering around the green space and corridors in the tower.

"Should I feel honored or afraid now?" Roy asked weakly.

After all, he was just a commoner who had the honor of being imprisoned in the Tower of London.

Although Queen Elizabeth I was the only prisoner imprisoned in the Tower of London for treason in history, she was pardoned because her sister Queen Mary I suddenly felt pregnant (actually a false pregnancy), and other prisoners either died in prison or were beheaded.

"Whether it is honor or fear, if we cannot escape, we will not survive tonight." Matthew said, "They captured us to sacrifice us as sacrifices to the darkness."

"what?!"

Roy was shocked, and then said happily: "Fortunately, I was the one who was caught as a sacrifice, not Amy."

"you……"

Matthew is speechless...

He knew that Roy was infatuated, but he didn't expect that the first thing this idiot thought of until the moment of life and death was his girlfriend Amy.

"Yes, she is safe now..." Matthew said, "The doctor sent her back to the 21st century, and promised to bring you back intact."

"As long as Amy is safe, I'm at ease."

Roy said cheerfully again.

Matthew: "Did you know that their goal from the beginning was you not Amy?"

"I don't know, but it doesn't matter..." Roy said, "As long as they don't want to hurt Amy, I'm relieved!"

"All right……"

Hearing this, Matthew finally understood why Roy was chosen as a sacrifice.

Because love is also a kind of faith.

Roy's love for Amy is the purest and most flawless faith.

……

Finally, he took a look at Matthew and Roy, who were talking with each other in the crystal ball, and confirmed that they could not escape in a short time. The dark version of Strange turned around, walked to the burning fireplace, and looked at The Marquess of Charles and the Duke of Sussex looked down upon him.

Because of his lack of status, Earl Charlie stood close to the French window with his werewolf servant.

"The ceremony requires three pure and flawless believers, and there is one less." The dark version of Strange said, "You must hurry up."

"But Your Majesty, where should we go to find a pure and flawless believer who can meet your needs?"

Although he recognized that the person standing in front of him was an American nouveau riche who had agreed with him to trade items of North American aborigine evil gods in the Whitechapel, Earl Charlie still expressed enough respect to the dark version of Strange——

He knew and participated in the dark secret of the Whitechapel, thinking that the smug American nouveau riche was possessed by a powerful demon king whom they summoned from the dark world with all the black magicians.

"Your werewolf manservant may know the answer. After all, he was the one who discovered the first pure and innocent believer who met the requirements."

As he spoke, the dark version of Strange looked up at the werewolf servant standing in the distance.

The male servant was shocked by the powerful black magic power, and the wolf hair on his back sprouted uncontrollably: "Your Highness..."

"I don't care how many difficulties you have, tomorrow is the night of the full moon, you must gather the last sacrifice!"

"But--"

"No but!"

The dark version of Strange turned around, ignoring Earl Charlie and his werewolf valet.

The Marquis of Charles and the Duke of Sussex were also indifferent to the situation of Earl Charles' master and servant. They followed the dark version of Strange into the dark altar that had been mostly arranged.

"Your Royal Highness, I have a presumptuous question, and I hope to get your answer."

"Say?"

"Why them?" Marquis Charles asked, "That Roy may be a pure believer, but Matthew...he is..."

A person who commits same-sex crimes.

"Because I can feel that his body was carefully crafted with the purest dark elements by dark forces older and more powerful than mine..."

The dark version of Strange said, "Using him as a sacrifice medium, the most powerful and purest darkness can be summoned."

"what do you mean--"

"He's a son of hell."

The dark version of Strange said slowly: "People in the world often have a wrong understanding of purity, thinking that virgin girls represent innocence. In fact, the purity of magic has never had anything to do with virginity, it only depends on the power of belief and the composition of the body .”

"Then those girls we caught in the dungeon..."

Originally thought that pure and innocent believers referred to virgin and pious girls, so Charles, who secretly imprisoned many young girls under the age of 15 as sacrifices in the dungeon, felt panicked.

"Are you going to let them go? Or..."

"Three sacrifices are required to hold the ceremony, and the last one is still missing..." the dark version of Strange said, "Although the possibility is almost zero, considering the time constraints, I have to go to the dungeon to find possible surprises .”

"Your Highness, I will guide you—"

Marquis Charles courteously introduced.

The dark version of Strange glanced at the Duke of Sussex beside him, and said, "Your task is to keep an eye on that guy."

"Augustus?"

The Duke of Sussex sneered: "He is so dissolute, how could he spoil our good deeds."

"Don't be fooled by illusions, Augustus is a strange existence that even I can't understand..." the dark version of Strange said, "After entering this body, I looked through all his memories, only about The part of Augustus is pure darkness and mist."

"But it can't..."

"Our important sacrifice—Matthew once took the initiative to have a relationship with him..." the dark version of Strange said, "It can be seen that he is also a part of darkness."

"Could it be that he is our third sacrifice?"

The Duke of Sussex's eyes sparkled.

Like all those who take the initiative to sell their souls to darkness, family affection is worthless in his eyes.

The dark version of Strange shook his head: "He is not the third sacrifice. To be precise, although he meets all the conditions to be a sacrifice, I will definitely not use him as a sacrifice."

"why?"

"intuition."

After finishing speaking, the dark version of Strange ordered Marquis Charles to take him to the dungeon to "visit" the innocent girls captured by the Marquis, and dig out the third sacrifice that might exist between them.

The Duke of Sussex stayed put.

After chewing on the words of the dark version of Strange repeatedly, he made a bold and dangerous decision.
