Fortunately, he now has a habit of leaving the Flying Thunder God mark wherever he goes, otherwise things would be awkward now.
Henry and Abel had barely recovered when they experienced the weightlessness and imbalance of teleportation again. Fortunately, they were experienced before, and the time between the two teleportations was not long, so their reaction was much weaker this time.
"call out--"
Sue returned with Sarah Brooke.
There were four people in the antique shop, three of whom were silent and absorbed in their own shock. Su Shi was in no hurry to break the silence, and began to look at the antiques on her own, while recalling the plot of the immortal forensic doctor.
The show was canceled after only one season. Su was very disappointed when she was watching it, but now when she thinks back, she only remembers a few characters.
Henry Morgan, the immortal forensic doctor, is another immortal person who lives even longer. Sue has forgotten his name, only remembering that he was a villain in the show and did a lot of things after learning about the equally immortal Henry Morgan.
Moreover, his experience was not as mild as Henry Morgan's. Once an immortal is discovered, the fate of such a person is predictable. After enduring various forms of torture, his mind began to twist, and he no longer cared about killing.
There are protagonists who are both good and bad, and of course, there is also a female lead.
The female lead's name is Joe Martinez, a female detective in the New York Police Department. Sue remembered her because she was the female lead and had a lot of screen time, and also because she was very charming.
She wasn't the kind of stunningly beautiful young girl, but she was mature, capable, and quite attractive.
As for the plot?
Su genuinely didn't remember much, but it didn't matter, because after meeting Henry Morgan, two thoughts came to mind: one was to study his ability to live forever; the other was that Henry Morgan was very suitable for practicing the Eight Gates Formation.
The Eight Gates technique, once the eighth gate is opened, has the power to almost bring Naruto to its finale with a single kick. Although the price is death, immortal beings like Henry Morgan are not afraid of death at all. After one kick, he is fully revived. If one kick is not enough to bring the series to an end, he can just kick it a few more times. It's a perfect match!
Although Su Shi doesn't know the Eight Gates Formation yet, and although he can use it without limit, wouldn't it be even more awesome to train a ninja who can use the Eight Gates Formation without limit as a bodyguard? He could just kick anyone he didn't like, and the power would definitely be stronger than other ninjas.
The only tricky thing is whether Henry Morgan still has the Eight Gates Formation he practiced after his death. If he dies once, he will have to start practicing it all over again. He will have the prestige, but he will lose the pomp and circumstance.
"Who exactly are you?" Henry Morgan interrupted Sue's thoughts.
Su smiled and glanced at Adam: "I'm the one who can free you from the pain and loneliness of losing a loved one!"
"You...you can make me normal again?" Henry Morgan looked at Sue in surprise.
Sue smiled without saying a word and immediately rolled her eyes. The sudden whiteness of her eyes made Henry Morgan take a slight step back in surprise. Then, Sue clicked her tongue in amazement and said, "Your experience is indeed very strange. I didn't find anything unusual about you. Perhaps I could try another method, but you might really die."
"I……"
"no!"
Abel noticed Henry Morgan's hesitation and interrupted him directly: "I will allow you to study the secret of immortality, but I will not allow you to die now. Even if you want to try, you must wait until I am dead."
"That's probably difficult." A red pill appeared out of thin air in Su's hand. "This is a Chakra Pill that I refined. One pill can probably extend your life by one or two months. I haven't tested the specific effects yet. Would you be willing to help me?"
The three looked at the small red pill in Su's hand in astonishment, finding it somewhat absurd. Could such a thing really add one or two months to one's life? That seemed too unrealistic.
Absurd as it may be, the three people's reactions showed no sign of doubt.
why?
Sarah Blake had witnessed Sue's many amazing feats and trusted him. Henry Morgan, on the other hand, confirmed Sue's honesty by observing his micro-expressions.
As for Abel? He didn't doubt it because of the miraculous things Su had shown before, and also because, as an antique dealer, he had studied Eastern mythology and history. He had heard many legends about alchemy, elixirs, and the idea that one pill could grant immortality and ascension to godhood.
"Is this the method you promised to free me from the pain and loneliness of losing my loved ones? To extend Abel's life? I don't care where this thing came from, what it is, or how much it has. I just want to know what you want! If you want to study why I'm not dead, I... I can't agree to that!"
Su curled her lip: "You think I want to dissect you to study the secrets of immortality? You're overthinking it. I also possess an immortal body, far more advanced than yours. At least I won't be resurrected naked in the river. Besides, I have chakra pills. If I want, I can make anyone live with me until the end of time."
"I want to test something else on you. You saw my teleportation and my ability to walk on the sea just now. Do you want to learn it? There is a forbidden ability that, once activated, can destroy a city, but the price is death."
“And I won’t die!” Henry Morgan continued. “After you learn it, what do you want me to do? Destroy some powerful enemy and rule the world?”
Su shook her head: "I want you to be my bodyguard. From now on, you'll follow me when I go out. If anyone messes with me, or if I'm going to mess with anyone, you'll go up and kick them to death!"
"..."
Although the details of this ability are unknown, it has the power to destroy a city at the cost of death, and can be used without limit if the user does not die. In the end, it is just used as a bodyguard or thug to show off.
Henry Morgan wasn't stupid. If Su dared to teach him, it was clear that Su also knew how to do it (Qian Zhao) or had a way to restrain him. Under such circumstances, Su's purpose in training him was definitely not to deal with any enemy he couldn't handle. He was simply training a henchman!
“I can’t guarantee that you can learn it or achieve the effect I want right now, since your condition will be restored after you die. But if you agree, I can provide Abel with chakra pills first, and at the same time help you resolve the issue of your identity. You must be tired of living in different places all the time, right?”
Henry Morgan remained silent for a long time: "I...I can agree to that, but I reserve the right to back out at any time. Also, could I test the Chakra Dan you mentioned?"
"Of course, I very much hope that you and Abel can provide me with detailed data on the Chakradan and its effects." This stuff won't have a significant effect on him personally, Abel is getting old, and Henry Morgan is a leading expert in medicine. Wouldn't it be better to leave professional matters to the professionals?
Chapter 144 Show and Counter-Show: This Black Panther is No Ordinary? You've Missed a Cat!
The night is getting darker.
In the Green Point Apartments, Sue sent Sarah Blake, who had been temporarily summoned back by her father, home. She sat in the living room, petting the cat and playing with the leopard while watching a somewhat boring soap opera on TV.
Several decorative antiques have appeared on the TV cabinet, the ones she picked out at Abel's shop today. Not all items called antiques are priceless. Although Abel gave them a friendly price, the total price of less than 700,000 still made Su feel that they were somewhat cheap as antiques.
Fortunately, they do have artistic and aesthetic value, and at least Su Shi finds them somewhat pleasing to the eye, so it's okay if they're cheap.
"Ding dong! Ding dong! Ding dong!"
The doorbell rang suddenly.
Su looked towards the door in surprise. Who would come looking for her so late? There probably aren't many people who know she's here.
Roll your eyes, open.
The figure outside the door gradually came into Su's sight. After seeing who it was, Su went over and opened the door.
"Hi."
"Hi."
The two greeted each other, and Jocelyn, who was outside the door, explained, "I noticed your lights were on, so I came over to check."
“I’ve been coming back here occasionally lately,” Su said, inviting, “Come in and sit down. I have something I’d like to tell you.”
“Okay.” Jocelyn nodded and went inside, only to be startled by the black panther on the sofa as soon as she entered.
“Don’t be afraid, she’s very spiritual,” Mrs. Su explained. “Would you like something to drink?”
"It will be all right."
Su turned and walked toward the wine cabinet, but Jocelyn frowned as she watched the very intelligent black panther quietly take out a palm-sized talisman and gently run it across her arm.
Jocelyn's expression then changed slightly.
Upon seeing Su return with the wine, Jocelyn quickly withdrew her talisman, casually accepted the wine, and said thank you.
The two sat down at the other end of the sofa, drank and chatted for a few minutes. Sue mainly asked about her daughter Claris, while Jocelyn pretended to be curious and asked where Sue's black panther came from.
After chatting for more than ten minutes, Su turned around and pretended to take out the Angel's Blade from the cabinet: "This is a good thing I recently acquired. Can you take a look at it for me?"
"I don't know much about antiques and collectibles." Despite saying that, Jocelyn still took it.
The moment Jocelyn grasped the Angel's Blade, a burning sensation spread throughout her body, and at the same time, strange totem symbols appeared on Jocelyn's hands and neck.
Jocelyn was taken aback and hurriedly threw away the Angel Blade.
In an instant, the runes on her body disappeared, but... it was too late; Su Shi had already seen it. Taking a deep breath, Jocelyn looked at Su Shi: "It's too late; perhaps I should go back."
Su chuckled, "Isn't that excuse a little too obvious?"
“Indeed.” Jocelyn nodded. “But I don’t know how to explain it to you. There are some things that are not suitable for ordinary people like you to know, so I’m sorry I can’t tell you anything, and I hope you forget about it!”
Me? An ordinary person?
Ms. Su felt she had been shown up.
"Also, I don't know where you got this strange weapon, but you'd better not take it out lightly, it might cause you trouble." After saying that, Jocelyn stood up and reached behind her back to take out an Angel Blade, a weapon used by Shadow Hunters.
In an instant, the Angel Blade glowed with a white light.
Jocelyn pointed her Angel Blade at the black panther beside Su Shi, while reminding Su Shi, "Come here quickly, this black panther you're raising is no ordinary thing."
Su was somewhat surprised. Christo's identity had been discovered? How did Jocelyn find out? Oh, I remember now, Shadow Hunters have a kind of spiritual ability that allows them to see traces left behind by supernatural beings.
Christo's panther body twitched slightly, and then she transformed from a black panther into a young girl.
“Master, I…” Christo looked at Su Shi, unsure of what to do.
Owner?
Jocelyn looked at Sue in astonishment, who showed no shock whatsoever.
Su shrugged: "You seem to have missed one, Luna."
As soon as she finished speaking, the cat that Jocelyn had been focusing on and had overlooked because of the black panther suddenly changed and turned into a human.
A cat and a black panther, both shadow creatures? And the Su family, who raised them, knew their identities? This stunned Jocelyn, who had initially risked exposing her identity out of friendship.
Although the strange runes on her body were noticed by the Su family, Jocelyn's identity was not exposed. No one knew about her special abilities, nor did anyone know that she was a Shadow Hunter.
However, she had a good relationship with the Su family. Since the strangeness had been discovered by the Su family, she wanted to take the opportunity to help the Su family solve the troubles around them. Otherwise, she had planned to secretly come back after leaving to help the Su family deal with the black panther.
I never expected to be the one who got shown up!
He thought Su was just an ordinary person and even wanted to help her secretly, but he was wrong. Not only did he miss one person, but Su's identity was probably not as simple as he knew!
"Change back."
Su gave Luna and Christo some instructions, and the two of them transformed back into a black panther and a cat. Otherwise... it just felt a bit strange in human form, since their transformations were different from Luke's. The Shadow Hunter werewolf's transformation clothes would change along with their transformation, but theirs wouldn't, so... he couldn't say any more.
"you……"
“You can ask Luke about my identity,” Su interrupted.
Jocelyn asked in surprise, "You know Luke?"
"To be honest, I thought you should have known my identity by now. Is it because Luke hasn't contacted you lately, or because you two don't talk about your lives anymore? If either of you had mentioned my name, things wouldn't be this awkward now." Su shrugged.
If it weren't for the Angel Blade incident, Su wouldn't have planned to reveal her identity so early. After all, Jocelyn was in a state of 'hiding and living in seclusion,' and without a suitable opportunity, it would be easy for her to misunderstand. Besides, as they spent more time together, Jocelyn would definitely have a chance to find out from Luke, so there was no need for Su to say it out of the blue.
Jocelyn didn't know what to say, so she walked a little further away and called Luke. A few minutes later, Jocelyn returned somewhat awkwardly.
Sue knows Luke, and Jocelyn also knows Luke. Sue and Jocelyn know each other. After going through all this, Jocelyn is now somewhat embarrassed, especially since she messed up before.
Su broke the silence and got straight to the point. "This is the true Angel Blade, a weapon used by angels. That's why the runes are activated when you, a Shadow Hunter with angelic blood, wield it. I've heard that the Sisterhood of Steel specializes in forging Angel Blades. Do you think they can analyze and create this kind of Angel Blade?"
"This... I'm afraid it's very difficult." Jocelyn skipped over the previous topic and seriously speculated, "If this is truly an angel's weapon, a real angel's blade, the key must be the materials. Without the materials, it's impossible to forge a real angel's blade using any other means."
