American Comics: Multiverse of Madness.

Chapter 666 Seven Years
In the hotel compartment, Zhang Ye and Dean Sam sat opposite each other.

At this point, the two brothers have more or less understood some of the secrets of this world, including the tragic plight of the mutants in this world, and the destruction of this world by that unknown existence.

Dean and Sam happened to catch the evening news when they arrived here, which allowed them to see the terrorist attack in Manhattan firsthand.

When they looked directly at the huge wild Sentinel robot that looked like a mountain on the TV screen, they were so shocked that their jaws dropped.

To be honest, Dean and Sam thought to themselves that they had experienced a lot of strange things and had often been on the edge of a knife, but when faced with such a mechanical fortress, they really couldn't figure out how to solve it.

"Oh my God, is this the trouble you've been dealing with?" Dean took a sip of cold beer to calm himself down. His eyes were fixed on the TV and his forehead was covered with sweat.

Hearing this, Zhang Ye waved his hand slightly, and then took up the cup. "This thing is not really a 'trouble'. The situation I'm facing now is more difficult than you think."

When he saw the two brothers again, Zhang Ye actually wanted to have a good communication with them, but he knew that time was urgent and there were more important things waiting for them. If he wasted a little time, he might give the initiative to the other party.

And Sam knew this, he always had a good sense of priorities.

"We heard that there are some more powerful beings hidden in this world, and they are planning something. It seems that they can sense the existence of extraordinary people, so you found us, right?"

"Is this all you've heard?" Zhang Ye paused. He thought Logan would explain everything to them, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that Logan himself only had a vague understanding of it.

"'They' should be called 'Them'."

Zhang Ye put down his wine glass and said in a deep voice, "I know the identities of those guys, and correspondingly, they also know who I am, which is why they dare not appear in front of me. Therefore, I need to hide myself as well, and I also need the help of two experts who are investigating unknown events."

Hearing this, Dean and Sam looked at each other with complicated expressions on their faces, not knowing whether they should be happy or helpless.

"I know you know some people who are more powerful than us, but it's our honor that you thought of us. What's more, if it weren't for your help back then, I'm afraid we two brothers would not be alive today." Sam said with a smile.

"Sammy, don't say those empty words. Zhang Ye is our friend. Helping a friend is not a difficult thing." Dean took a sip and looked directly at Zhang Ye. "So where should we start investigating now?"

"I will give you some information about this world. After all, the era and environment here are completely different from your events. Those guys are eager to force me out, so you can't act with me. It's too dangerous. I will find a way to attract the attention of those guys. The rest is up to you."

Zhang Ye knew the purpose of those dark observers. While he was trying his best to find them, those guys were also looking for their own positions. The outcome of this competition would probably depend on who had a better vision.

In this situation, Dean and Sam's movements must not be discovered by them.

The evil power universe is not within the scope of the observer's vision, and the two brothers naturally cannot be discovered by the observers. As long as they act carefully, no accidents will occur.

Seeing Zhang Ye's gaze towards him, Sam nodded slightly, but he still asked with some doubt. "I want to know, what exactly do you want us to investigate?"

"What do you mean?" Zhang Ye frowned.

"There has to be a general direction." Sam spread his hands. "In our previous investigation experience, we first saw the victim in the newspaper or the media, and judged which supernatural creatures were related to the crime from the method of committing the crime, and then collected intelligence about these things, but this time, we haven't even seen the victim yet."

"Haven't you seen it?"

Zhang Ye waved his hand, showing the scene outside the window to the two people in front of him, and sighed softly.

"Just think of this world as dying. What I need you to investigate is the 'cause of death' of this world."

The death of the world.
Dean and Sam both felt a little uncomfortable. They felt the pressure on them doubled in an instant. Sure enough, none of the difficulties Zhang Ye encountered were simple. While they were still fighting against ghosts, Zhang Ye had already begun to save one world after another.

"Okay!" Dean slammed the table. "I'll take care of it."

When the brothers decided to follow old Wolverine through the portal, they knew they had no way out. But there was no way; this was Zhang Ye's request for help, and they had no intention of refusing.

The two brothers got into work mode very quickly. After Dean made the decision, Sam stood up. "I'm going to talk to the boss downstairs."

"So urgent?" Zhang Ye was stunned.

"Didn't you say time is of the essence?" Sam placed his unopened beer in front of Dean and walked out the door. "And I also need to get some identity information about this place, after all, we are still illegal residents." Looking at Sam's back as he left, Zhang Ye couldn't help but shook his head.

“So professional!”

If I had this kind of skills back then, how could I have ended up hanging out with a bunch of scavengers?

Dean naturally didn't know what Zhang Ye was thinking. He just looked at the man who was traveling between various universes in front of him with a complicated look and a meaningful look.

Zhang Ye felt a little nervous when Dean stared at him. "What's wrong?"

"When I first heard the news about you, I was quite angry." Dean opened Sam's bottle of beer with a serious expression. Zhang Ye was still wondering why the other party said that, but Dean's next words left Zhang Ye speechless.

"It's been seven years, Zhang Ye. In these seven years, you never went to look for Qiao, and you never left any message, not even to let me know you were safe."

"."

Zhang Ye actually wanted to explain, but he knew that no matter what he said, it would be meaningless. He had indeed been running around for all kinds of troublesome things for such a long time and did not even have time to rest, but this was not a good excuse.

"I know you are very busy, especially after seeing the situation in this world, but I hope you can understand one thing, that is why you are working so hard, Zhang Ye, I know you now have more power than Chuck (God), but I don't want you to forget the fact that you are still a human being."

Dean looked at Zhang Ye calmly and spoke word by word.

“Everything we fight for with our lives is for our families and friends.”

"I understand." Zhang Ye nodded heavily.

"I'm not just talking. No matter what, after this is over, you should go and meet Joe. Ever since Ellen retired, she has been working alone. Sometimes even Sam and I can't contact her." Dean sighed.

"Ellen retired?" Zhang Ye frowned. He thought that the mother and daughter had been hunting demons together.

When he left, Zhang Ye secretly cast the 'luck of ancient heroes' on Ellen and Joe. Although they were not as powerful as the two archangels on Dean and Sam, they were enough to ensure the safety of the mother and daughter. Now when he heard that Ellen had retired, Zhang Ye was stunned.

Demon hunters generally cannot retire. Their blood feud with demons and monsters makes it impossible for them to retire peacefully, because even if they hide, they will eventually be targeted by those evil creatures.

There is only one possibility for retirement, that is death or extremely serious injury.

Seeing that Zhang Ye seemed to have misunderstood something, Dean shook his head slightly. "Allen is old, and he is tired of fighting and killing, so he returned to the Hunter Tavern and became the boss."

"Oh, that's good." Zhang Ye was relieved. "Is there any foolish creature harassing Ellen?"

Zhang Ye has not forgotten that the Yellow-Eyed Demon once destroyed the Hunter's Tavern. If those monster demons knew Allen's situation, they would not let it go.

But Dean just laughed. "They wouldn't dare."

"Don't forget what you did in the Hunter's Tavern. Now that tavern has become a holy place in the eyes of demon hunters. No monster dares to cause trouble there. Even the gods go there to consume."

"God?" Zhang Ye blinked. He really hadn't expected this.

"Although strictly speaking, we are also hostile to the gods, not all gods remain unchanged. After all, when we hunt certain monsters, we still need to pray to the corresponding gods. Now, times have changed. Some gods have long stopped eating humans, and some gods have never eaten humans. So slowly, we have also learned to coexist peacefully."

After a pause, Dean continued, "No matter what, I still want to thank you for your help back then. If it weren't for that shock, I'm afraid things wouldn't be like this now."

"We are friends, it would be too polite to say thank you." Zhang Ye smiled and raised his glass.

Dean reacted quickly, he picked up the bottle and clinked it with Zhang Ye, then said, "Yeah, thank you is too polite, so you don't have to thank us for coming. It's also a special experience for me to be able to adventure in other universes."
