[Comprehensive] The Last Assassin

The entrance to the ruins is piled up with rocks. At first glance, the road leading to the ground looks more like a tunnel blasted by a bomb than steps.

Shen Qiong squatted at the entrance and turned on the searchlight to look in. Judging from the explosion of the stone, this relic should have been discovered not long ago, so that the traces of human cleanup are still clearly visible. It's a pity that the group of believers found this place. Before the place could pray to their Almighty Lord, it was overrun by Assassins and Templars.

Shen Qiong slid her thumb, turned off the flashlight, turned around and said to Dick, "No problem, I'll go down first."

Dick was tying up the last Templar and throwing it to a side room, when he heard Shen Qiong's answer, before he had time to tell her to be careful, Shen Qiong had already slid down the corridor.

Hearing the sound of falling gravel, Dick didn't even have time to say "me first", Shen Qiong had already stood on the ground, turned on the flashlight again, and called his name.

Dick heard the urgency in Shen Qiong's words, and he hurriedly followed. When he touched the ground, he quickly supported a stone on the side to stabilize his body, and asked Shen Qiong who was holding a flashlight with a surprised expression: "What's wrong."

The flashlight in Shen Qiong's hand shone on the boulder that Dick was holding on to, and she said in a deep voice, "Look at these."

Dick turned his head when he heard the words. He supported the huge and smooth stone platform, took a step back to look at the whole picture, and wondered if he could find that it was not a stone platform, but a mysterious stone block with a square pyramid.

This stone seems to have fallen from a high altitude. The mysterious corner is full of rubble. Dick carefully observes the star light leaking from the entrance. It seems that one corner of it is buried under the rubble and placed on other stones. superior.

However, the most surprising thing about this pyramid-shaped stone is not the smooth four sides, but the intricate incantations carved on each side of it.

These are not very consistent with Egyptian hieroglyphs. Some of them resemble cuneiform characters but they look similar to the winding transistors on today's computer motherboards, or the straightened veins of blood vessels. The lines are straight and parallel. The corners are strict, and it looks like a neat circuit diagram.

——But it should be an ancient relic from unknown how many years ago.

"Dick, what are these things?" Shen Qiong hesitated, "If this place is really related to En Shaba Nur, these stones are at least 5000 years old."

"For 5000 years, why haven't the lines carved on these stones been corroded?"

When Dick heard Shen Qiong's question, his expression was solemn.Not only Shen Qiong was puzzled, but he also felt incredible.

Except for the initial fall and the wear and tear caused by the later blasting, this stone seems to have almost no other traces of history.Although the stone itself is very corrosion-resistant, and this stone has been buried underground for more than 5000 years, the lines on it are still clearly visible, which is really incredible.

Unless this is not the remains of En Shaba Nur.

Dick looked at Shen Qiong, and Shen Qiong understood what he meant in an instant.She hesitated for a moment, then shone the light on the grain of the stone, and said hesitantly, "Don't you think that these grains, no matter what, are not what the Egyptians like?"

Indeed, the characters used in Egyptian civilization are completely different from this kind of circuit board-like texture, so that the circuit board graphics have no sense of mystery at all, but only bring a kind of mechanical coldness to people.More like a product of modern civilization.

Dick hesitated for a moment, then took out the scanner from his belt to roughly determine the age of cultural relics. He carefully cleaned the instrument against the stone. Various rays passed through the stone, received information, and then quickly calculated Answer.

When the rough estimate appeared with a beep, Dick looked at the age that appeared on the machine, and the surprise in his eyes could not be concealed no matter what.

"3000 BC." Dick said in a deep voice.

Shen Qiong was startled: "What?"

Dick raised his eyes again, and he said slowly, "The age of this stone."

Stones from 3000 BC, the lines carved on it are still clearly visible.

Shen Qiong was stunned by the answer for a while, then as if realizing something, she turned on the flashlight and carefully observed these lines.

The waiting light in the flashlight is written embedded in the texture of the stone, filling the ravines on the stone little by little.Shen Qiong was dazzled by the light of the flashlight. For a moment, she saw the white light from the flashlight turned into a mercury-like liquid, rushing and flowing on the stone, like a rune taking effect, and quickly gathered impacts below the stone. go--!

Snapped!

The flashlight in Shen Qiong's hand was turned off abruptly, she closed her eyes tightly and opened them again, the weird scene before disappeared, as if everything was her illusion.But Dick's hand was still pressing the off button of the flashlight——Shen Qiong looked up and saw Dick's expression, and realized that the scene just now was not entirely her own illusion.

Dick cursed secretly: "What the hell is this!"

Shen Qiong was silent for a while, then said, "It's a Piece of Eden."

Dick was startled: "What? But this stone is just an ordinary—"

"The Pieces of Eden is just a general term for things left by the forerunners that surpass human cognition." Shen Qiong interrupted him with firm eyes, "The forerunners have technology far beyond human beings, but no one has ever said that they Only technological artifacts remain, and the technology itself disappears."

"If En Shaba Nur is really the first mutant in the world, then it is not surprising that he has the technology of the Forerunner in his hands."

"The guesses of Mordred and the Templars are not wrong. There is indeed a Piece of Eden in his legend. It's just that this piece is not a real thing, but a 'rune'."

Shen Qiong reached out and touched the stone: "The runes engraved on the stone are the truth that En Shaba Nur can transform the body!"

"The power of mutants does not need the help of the environment. On the contrary, they can change the environment. When I learned from the professor that he is a mutant, I felt strange. If it is a mutant, why does it need to perform a ritual to transfer the body ?Professor X, he can enter the consciousness of others, but all he needs is a finger against the temple."

"But if his ability comes from the Pieces of Eden, then everything can be explained."

"Whether it's the secret that this 'god' needs a special ritual to be reincarnated, or the reason why the lines on this stone can exist clearly for 5000 years." Shen Qiong slid her finger across the stone, her eyes cold, "All can be explained .”

But Mordred, as a member of the Exorcist Temple, came here for the Piece of Eden, so it is impossible not to realize the trickiness of the runes on the stone... Then why didn't he take this stone away?Or, what is more important to this man than the Pieces of Eden?

Shen Qiong looked down, and the broken stones blocked the way down.

According to Dick's restoration, this shop was supposed to be a temple. The temple collapsed during the regime change, and the new pharaoh's sky filled the land. After a long history, a lively market was formed on it. Man knows what lies beneath his feet.

If this is the relic temple related to En Shaba Nur, and he was betrayed and died on the way to transform his body, then how likely is he buried under this temple, because of these runes, he still How likely is it to be alive... just waiting for the last step?

Shen Qiong's face suddenly changed: "No, we have to go!"

Dick was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Shen Qiong pulled her up while explaining: "Your brother knows the Pieces of Eden better than you, he must know what this stone is!"

"He didn't take it away, there is only one possibility! He wants to verify his conjecture! Is En Shaba Nur buried in the ground? If the spell is completed, will he be resurrected!"

Dick was shocked when he heard this: "Is he crazy! Resurrect a legendary god!? Humans don't need a new god!"

"If your brother had been sensible, he wouldn't have joined the Exorcist Sect!" Shen Qiong complained, "Really, what happened to your brother, I think he can't wait for you to die."

"You might as well ask him why I hate Batman so much."

Just as Shen Qiong was about to reach the last stone, another voice suddenly came from above her head.She froze and looked up in disbelief.

Mordred, who had obviously left, returned here at some point. Instead of rescuing the bound Templars, he squatted at the entrance with interest, staring at her and Dick who were about to come out.

Shen Qiong's eyes froze slightly, and the Hidden Sword in her right hand suddenly came out of its sheath, and stabbed Jason's throat without hesitation!

Jason seemed to have guessed that Shen Qiong would do this a long time ago. He pushed away a step in advance to avoid Shen Qiong's attack, but Shen Qiong also took the opportunity to rush out of the ruins.

She glanced at Dick subconsciously, but found that Dick had disappeared without a trace.

But she wasn't worried about Dick. Dick Grayson was only more than she was when it came to concealment and stealth.

Shen Qiong put away the Hidden Sword in her right hand, and slowly pulled out the Tang Saber tied behind her back.

Tang Dao's blade is like a Wang Qiuhong, which seems to turn into a pool of clear water at any time under the gradually rising sunlight, clearly reflecting the cold face of the assassin.

Shen Qiong said: "You are Dick's younger brother, not my younger brother. I will not hesitate to kill you."

Jason smiled when he heard this, and said slowly: "What a heartless girl."

Shen Qiong turned the sword in her hand around her wrist, pressing down on the blade, her expression couldn't be more solemn.Jason realized that she really planned to end herself in Egypt, but unfortunately he didn't have this plan himself.

Jason said: "I'd love to try your knife, but I guess my friends will complain that I stole his limelight."

He smiled again, with a gloomy and bloody taste: "Miss Worthington."

Shen Qiong was startled when she heard this name, but before she could question her, she first saw the "angel" sitting on the eaves.

Warren Worthington was wearing a black tailor-made shirt, with huge wings sticking out from behind, as if to block the moonlight.

He just sat there, looking at Shen Qiong with a silent expression.

After a while, he whispered to Shen Qiong: "Put down your knife, if you still listen to me."

Shen Qiong clenched her blade more and more when she heard the words, she couldn't believe it: "Warren! How could you be on his side!"

Warren Worthington jumped off, touched the ground with his toes, and stood beside Jason, silently declaring his position.

Shen Qiong clenched her blade, gritted her teeth and said, "Warren, I don't want to be your enemy."

The angel understated: "I don't want to either." He raised his eyes, and in the green eyes that were exactly the same as Shen Qiong's was a cold gaze that Shen Qiong had never seen before, "But I have already made a decision."

"—Joan Frye!"

Dick, who was hidden in the dark, clearly saw Warren Worthington's stretched wings, he had to shoot a batarang to push Warren back a step, and at the same time reminded Shen Qiong who was stunned!

Shen Qiong woke up when she heard the sound, and she took a few steps back before avoiding the wings shot by Warren. These feathers seemed to have been specially processed, and each one was as sharp as a knife!

Dick's appearance made Jason very excited. He drew his gun and aimed at the position where Dick made his voice, and shot six times in a row.Facing the young man who was forced to show up, Jason narrowed his eyes and said, "Dick, sleep forever."

"Ha." Dick said with a smile, "Sorry brother, I'm afraid I have to decline this invitation."

Dick was fighting with Jason, and Shen Qiong couldn't get much advantage.Warren Worthington is like a different person compared to when he was in the fighting bar. Whether it is close combat, or spear and shooting, he is more like a master assassin who has undergone systematic assassin training and stands out from it!

Shen Qiong hid behind the doorpost, and before she had time to sort out her shocking thoughts, Warren said softly "I found it", making her hairs stand on end, rolling over on the spot to avoid the tranquilizer dart shot by the other party!

However, it was this blow that made Shen Qiong break out in a cold sweat.

She was indeed separated from Warren by a wall, but she was still found.As a mutant, Warren Worthington does not have the ability to investigate, but such an ability is more like——

"Hawkeye." Shen Qiong said in a low voice, she looked at her brother in front of her again with a complicated expression, "You have learned Hawkeye."

Warren watched her, suspended in the air."I learned everything you can," he admitted.

"Give up, you can't beat me."

Shen Qiong gritted her teeth, her hand holding the long knife became tighter.

The sun rose higher and higher, and the radiant rays of the sun gradually penetrated through the entrance corridor, like a golden horse straight to the ground.

Shen Qiong's ears suddenly heard the sound of rolling stones.

She turned around subconsciously, and just happened to see the light entering the corridor.

Dick obviously noticed this too, but he was so entangled in Jason that he couldn't move, so he could only shout, "Frye! Rune!"

Without even thinking about it, Shen Qiong rushed straight into the tunnel!

Warren didn't miss this opportunity and shot a tranquilizer dart at her back!However, Shen Qiong didn't turn her head back, she actually grabbed his dart with her bare hands!The palm with the Hidden Blade was cut by glass, but at least it wasn't infected with the anesthetic.Shen Qiong took one last look at her elder brother, and then slid directly into the corridor!

The gravel rolled down to the ground with her, she was competing with the light for speed!

The sun's rays had already irradiated the top of the square pyramid, and golden rays of light began to gather little by little!

Shen Qiong heard Jason shout angrily: "Stop her!"

No one can stop her!

The light turned into a golden liquid and began to flow on the stone tablet.

Shen Qiong's face was ferocious, holding the knife in both hands, from left to right, pouring all the strength into her body, and slashed down on the stone fiercely!

"Drink—!"

The metal blade let out a distorted scream, and the blade and the stone suddenly slammed into sparks, Shen Qiong only felt that her arm was about to be broken at this moment.

She gritted her teeth and turned the blade from bottom to top!

Ding--!

The blade broke and was firmly embedded in the rune.

It was precisely because of this that all the golden light gathered above the blade, and it was impossible to pass down no matter what.After a few seconds, the golden light dimmed. Even though the light from the entrance became stronger and stronger, the stone looked older. In Shen Qiong's eyes, this stone had survived 5000 years before it was destroyed. The stones fell as crisply as biscuits in the hands of children.

In an instant, it shattered into a mess of fine rocks.

Shen Qiong's broken blade was buried.

Shen Qiong breathed a sigh of relief, but before she had time to turn around, she was grabbed by the neck by the guy who came after and put her heavily on the stone pillars that could be seen everywhere in the ruins!

Shen Qiong could almost feel the wail of broken ribs.

However, Warren's expression was more desperate and sad than hers.

He pinched Shen Qiong's neck, looked at her slightly painful expression, gritted his teeth and said, "Do you know what you did just now?"

"You just killed your only possibility of survival with your own hands!"

The author has something to say: using the world view of Assassin's Creed to forcefully explain Marvel, I almost believed it myself...
