Chapter 315 Language! (Part 2)

About fifteen minutes later, in the dark and silent woods, Strange's phone ringing broke the silence.

He picked up the phone, pressed the answer button, and then put it to his ear. The pleasant voice of the customer service staff of the Sanctuary came from the other side: "The communication of Mephisto, the Lord of Hell, will be connected to you in 30 seconds. During this period, we will play the waiting tone. Please wait patiently..."

After dozens of seconds of pleasant music, the phone "whooshed" out of Strange's hand, and the key part turned into a big mouth full of fangs. Mephisto's voice came from that mouth: "Hey, Strange, where did you see this pattern?"

The teasing in his tone made Strange a little puzzled. He asked: "What's wrong? What is this pattern?"

"You don't know? This is the symbol of Hela, the Lord of the Underworld, the crazy woman who plays with skeletons and souls in her home all day long. Have you seen any suddenly resurrected skeletons and corpses around this pattern? If so, it must be her..."

"Indeed, there are more than one or two. A cemetery nearby has been haunted for several days."

"That's right, Hela's best trick is the army of the undead. Her death attribute comes from the world tree , so it is the opposite of rebirth. In addition to death, there is also resurrection..."

"But why did Hela appear on Earth?"

"How do I know this? However... considering that you gave me a good discount before, I remind you that this woman is very difficult to deal with. Once she appears, her omnipresent power of death and resurrection will pollute a large area of ​​land and create all kinds of troublesome creatures. If you don't want your territory to be turned into a skeleton dance hall by her, you'd better think of a way..."

After hanging up the phone, Strange frowned and looked at the pattern. Schiller patted him on the shoulder and said, "Leave here first. If Hela really comes, do you have a way to deal with her?"

"No..." Strange shook his head and said, "I'm just worried that Hela will come. If she really comes, then I can't leave, because only I can deal with these troublesome demons."

After getting a very comfortable life, Strange seemed to have regained some sense of mission. He stared at the pattern on the ground and began to think about whether there is any way to restrain Hela.

Schiller continued, "I'm afraid things are not as simple as you think. No matter what, the Lord of the Underworld has no reason to appear on Earth, especially here..."

"If she wanted to attack the Earth, she couldn't have just left a mark here. Mephisto also said just now that if she really wanted to do something, she would have flooded this place with the army of the undead. There are hundreds of cemeteries in New York, enough for her."

"Indeed." Strange's expression was a little confused.

"I know the style of these cosmic demons. When they start fighting, they will not warn each other, negotiate, and argue, and then shoot tentatively like humans. Once they start fighting, it will be a life-and-death duel."

"If Hela wants to invade the earth, she doesn't need to put a sign here first. Everyone knows that a lightning raid is the way to win quickly. Her actions are more like alerting the enemy."...

"Why do I feel that she is a little sneaky?" Schiller looked at the sign and said, "It's like she is deliberately restraining her power and doesn't want to be discovered. It's just that the power of the demon is too strong, so a lot of it has leaked out, causing supernatural events."

Just as the two were constantly speculating , Strange's phone suddenly rang again. The sudden ringing scared him. He took out his phone, but it flew into the air again. The familiar big mouth appeared again, and Mephisto's voice rang in his ears: "Stephen, let's make a deal. What's the name of your Sanctum Sanctorum... quarterly member? As long as you give me a quarterly membership, I will tell you more clues, how about it?"

Strange cursed inwardly. Mephisto, the cunning old fox, deliberately didn't say everything just now, and deliberately emphasized the threat of Hela, which whetted people's appetite and made him have many speculations, but there was no answer. Now he came to play the savior again, just to take more advantage.

"I can only give you one month's gift at most. You know, I didn't open that place, and I also have shares in the Supreme Sorcerer and the Father of the Gods. It's too much of a gift, and I can't explain it to others..."

"Okay, then one month."

Mephisto was just trying to get some benefits. Then, a black gas spread from the phone and formed Mephisto's upper body. He snapped his fingers, and a wisp of black smoke floated towards the sign. He explained to the two people behind him:

"Generally speaking, the devil leaves his own sign somewhere to convey information. For example, I left a sign of my own in your phone, so I can call you at any time."

"Of course, the magic broadcast you made is good. When you are done, don't forget to let me leave a sign next to the magic circle, so that the signal will be much better."

"So what does this sign left by Hela represent?"

"Wait, I'm interpreting it. You know, women always like to add too many unnecessary decorations to their various items. The same is true for Hela's symbol. She carved so many complex patterns, but only a few of them can be used..."

"...Okay, read it out, huh?" Mephisto said "hmm" in some confusion, and then said: "Hela is looking for someone."

"Looking for someone?...Who? There should be no one on earth who has a relationship with her, right?"

"She didn't leave a name, just said that it was a girl with long black hair... Wait, there's another paragraph. If you find her, please call the Sanctuary to contact her..."

"Strange, you are famous." Mephisto turned his head and teased Strange.

Strange spread his hands and said, "Okay, it looks like another pet missing incident. Regardless of who she is looking for, the mark she left behind has caused us a lot of trouble. How can we get rid of her?"

"If you are willing to give me another month..."

"No need, we will figure it out ourselves. Goodbye." Strange threw out the crimson band, rolled his phone back, and pressed the hang-up button. Mephisto disappeared instantly. …

After a while, the phone rang again, and Mephisto said, "I can help you clear all the power here, but you have to leave me an exclusive line. I will be busy for the next 20,000 years..."

"Exclusive lines are impossible, but I can give you one more thread. Our senior customer service is limited, you have to know..."

"Okay, then one more thread."

Mephisto's figure came out of the phone again, and then he snapped his fingers. In an instant, countless black energy poured into his body from the mark and the surroundings, and then all traces disappeared. After Mephisto's figure disappeared, Schiller said, "It seems that you have been deceived by this devil again."

Strange's face was also a little ugly, because anyone with eyes could see that the process just now was Mephisto absorbing power. This cunning devil not only got some of the power left by Hela for nothing, but also let Strange give him an extra customer service thread.

"I'll give you a suggestion. Directly forward calls about Mephisto to Nick. Even if you may not make money, at least you will not lose money."

Strange turned his head and glanced at Schiller and said, "What's your phone number? If every unfamiliar call can be forwarded to you, the earth will have become a cosmic holy land."

"Okay, the problem of residual power has been solved. We need to study who Hela is looking for."

"It can't be an ordinary person anyway. Hell and Hades are not places where ordinary people can stay. She may be looking for another cosmic demon." Strange opened the portal and said, "The good news is that the supernatural incident has been solved. The bad news is that there may be another demon in a corner of the earth now."

Schiller followed Strange into the portal and said, "Don't let Nick know about this, otherwise his blood pressure will soar again."

Back in the room of Arkham Sanatorium, Strange wanted to make another call. Schiller asked him, "What are you going to do?"

"I'll give it to "I advise you not to do this, because it may offend Hela. Didn't you notice that Hela secretly left a sign here, maybe just to ask you to help him find someone secretly?" Strange sat on the sofa, touched his face, and said, "She doesn't make sense to do this. Why does she have to be sneaky? Can anyone do anything to her? ... Oh, wait, yes, Hela is afraid of the Ancient One, right? But the Supreme Sorcerer should not be able to control her underworld." "Don't forget, in addition to the Ancient One, there is also Odin in the Nine Realms. Not only Odin, Thor has also regained his power and even made some progress, but it is more likely that the person Hela is looking for has a special identity..." "The question is back to the starting point. Who is this person?" Strange leaned his elbow on the armrest of the sofa and pressed his forehead with his hand. At this moment, Schiller's cell phone rang. Strange turned to look at Schiller. Schiller picked up the phone and said, "...Hello? Peter?...What's wrong? How are you doing? The skeleton suddenly lost all its power and turned into a skeleton? That's a good thing."...

"The great Supreme Sorcerer's successor Strange went to negotiate a deal with the devil, so the Lord of Hell Mephisto helped us solve this problem, but brought us a bigger problem..."

Just as Schiller was talking about this, he heard a loud noise from Peter's side, followed by a mess of noises. Schiller heard the sound of Peter flying into the air, followed by the "whoosh" sound of spider silk being fired.

After a burst of "snap, tap, bang", Peter's scream and a female scream sounded at the same time. A few seconds later, Steve's voice came from a distance, and he said, "Peter, are you okay?"

"I'm fine..." Peter was lying on the ground, and a woman, or a girl, in a black robe was pressing on him.

Steve stood a few meters away. He didn't rush over. Instead, he took a defensive posture and asked the girl: "Who are you? How did you suddenly fall from the sky, and..."

Steve looked around and saw skeletons scattered all over the ground. He looked at the girl and continued: "...There are so many skeletons around?"

The girl in the black robe stood up. Peter was finally able to get up from the ground. He patted the grass on his body and turned to look at the person next to him. Then he saw a white and slender hand stretched out from under the black robe and took off his hood.

Schiller heard from the other end of the phone: "What the fu..."

"...nguage!"
