Chapter 1512 C: Twilight Event (XVIII)
Chapter 1505 C Twilight Event (XVIII)
"I, I... I did it! I guess." Zatanna was obviously alive again when she jumped out of the portal. She pressed her hand on her chest and took a few deep breaths and said, "To be on the safe side, I still cleared his memory of me, otherwise he might find out that I cast a spell to make him work hard."
Zatanna looked up at Bruce and said nervously, "Do you think I'm a little evil?"
"I think you did a good job."
The bartender, Adria, had already started to applaud her, but Zatanna was still shocked by Bruce's straightforward praise. She remembered that Bruce rarely praised people before.
"To be honest, I came to you because I want to ask you for help." Bruce sat at the bar and looked into Zatanna's eyes and said, "You may not have watched TV recently, so you don't know that I sponsored a variety show."
"Oh, I heard Andrea say a few words."
Bruce frowned and said as if he was a little distressed: "A few years ago, when I got this gem, I felt something was wrong, but at that time I just thought it was beautiful, had collection value, and could please Selina, so I took the initiative to break it and let it scatter all over the world, preparing to give Selina a surprise when I took them back."
"But I didn't expect that Master Andrew came to me before and said that this thing is very dangerous, it seems to be called 'Spirit of Wrath'. In short, every piece of black diamond that was broken has a They all contain very powerful power, which is very likely to attract the attention of magicians who lack power. "
"You also know that the magic world has always been dominated by young and middle-aged magicians, and most of them are promoted to great magicians when they are young, including magicians in the Great Magician Alliance."
"This group of people is not completely out of touch with ordinary society like the elderly magicians who have been immersed in the magic world for many years. They also watch TV, read newspapers, and are proficient in using modern electronic devices, so they will definitely see this variety show."
"Some of the young apprentices who have not been too deep into the magic world and are very short of money will definitely want to participate, because they may have mastered some magic props, and they feel that they have an advantage over ordinary people and feel that they can easily get this huge sum of money. "
"Once they go deep into it and touch the black diamond, even if they just see it from a distance, common sense in the magic world will tell them that this thing is not ordinary and contains great power."
"Word of mouth will spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and this rumor will definitely reach the ears of the great wizard, and once their negotiations with the devil are not going well, they will set their sights on the black diamond."
"I heard that Beelzebub has returned to hell, and he and Azazel have a disagreement on the terms of the contract for humans. The negotiations are temporarily shelved. The demons are not in a hurry, but the wizards are very anxious."
"The longer the time drags on, the more painful and crazy they will be. They are even willing to give up their human dignity and kneel at the feet of the devil. How can they not try to snatch the black diamond?"
"But the variety show invites The ordinary guests they invited started earlier than them, and many of them have already tracked down the location of the black diamond. If the wizards interfere, conflicts will definitely break out between the two sides. "
"There are unwritten rules in the magic world. We must act low-key and try to attract as little attention as possible from ordinary people. This is not thousands of years ago. If wizards fight with ordinary people, there is no other outcome except being blasted into a meat paste by artillery fire."
At this point, Zatanna became nervous. She jumped off the high stool at the bar in a hurry and said, "Although the magic family is basically finished, I still have a few friends in the magic world. I have to remind them not to think about the damn diamond. It's not a good thing, let alone conflict with ordinary people. If they are wanted, they will definitely die ugly!"
Bruce grabbed her, looked at her and said, "You can stop a few wizards, can you stop all of them? If those great wizards are determined to rob, what will you do? "
Zatanna stood there in a dilemma. She thought for a while and said, "They shouldn't be so impulsive. This may provoke a war between ordinary people and the magic world. This is not a joke."
Just when she said this, the door of the Forgotten Bar was pushed open with a "bang". The dark master Jim, with a very gloomy face, walked into the bar with his group of allies.
Among them were Bennett, the dead man and Mrs. Xanadu, who looked very familiar, and a very tall green monster covered with vines and vines, a chimpanzee in a detective costume, and a woman wearing a purple tights and a mask.
Seeing Bruce and Zatanna sitting at the bar, Jim was a little surprised, but he still walked over with a gloomy face and slapped the long sword in his hand on the table.
"What's wrong?" Bruce asked with concern.
"The people of the Grand Master Alliance are crazy!" Jim's tone became a little trembling: "They want power crazy, they even want to kill ordinary people to seize power, these damn idiots and devils, they will kill all of us! ”
Seeing the puzzled expression on Zatanna's face, Dead Boston sighed and said, "We have collected allies from all over the world and brought in a lot of helpers. This is Swamp Thing, this is Detective Master Bobo, and this is Miss Black Orchid."
Bruce and Zatanna nodded to the few people, and Boston said in a somewhat melancholy tone, "Everything was going well. We returned to London with our helpers. On the way back to the bar, we met a wounded man, a thin old man."
"We thought he was attacked and scratched by a vampire. There are many such wounded people in New York recently, and the hospital is almost full. But unexpectedly, the old man told us that a group of weirdos in robes and holding staffs pushed him down and snatched his handbag. "
"We followed the direction he pointed, but found that it was a group of magicians, and they were new members of the Grand Wizard Alliance. They were fighting for the handbag. "
"Jim felt the powerful force in the handbag, so we rushed up and subdued them. Jim asked them why they attacked ordinary people, and a thin old man, but they just kept cursing and said that they deserved it. "
"They said that ordinary people are just dirty bugs with no talent and no luck. "Jim gritted his teeth and said, "They said they should be superior to others, and now there are just some accidents, and they will take back this power themselves. "
As the anger surged, Jim's mind was full of those people's crazy shouting.
"Yes, Master Jim, we were wrong...very wrong! We shouldn't have huddled in a small corner when we had great power. We should have relied on these powerful powers to gain greater power!"
"We have fallen to this point today because of this wrong choice. If we ruled the world, we could still live well without the power of magic!"
"Wait, Jim, the people of the Grand Mage Alliance have come out in full force to seize the powerful Spirit of Wrath. When we combine it into one, it will give us power beyond everything. By then, we will never make that mistake again. We will definitely have status and wealth that match our talent and luck!"
Jim covered his head with his hands. He felt that there was a string in his head that kept jumping, which gave him a headache.
"Loss may lead to cherishment, but regaining it may lead to madness." The gorilla detective Bobo jumped onto the bar, sighed and said, "The insecurity of losing power will always linger in their hearts, and once they regain power, this insecurity will drive them to make money crazily, even at the cost of starting a war."
At this moment, the Dark Night Master Jim stood up from the table, drew out his sword from the scabbard and put it upright in front of his chest, and said, "Get ready for battle, guys, we have to face the vampires and the Grand Wizard Alliance at the same time, this is destined to be a difficult battle, But we will definitely win. "
"Ordinary people may not understand you." Bruce turned his head and looked at him, saying calmly: "They will only think that you are in the same group as the wizard, and even think that you are more evil than them. "
"I don't care what others think." Jim said firmly: "I have fought all my life to save the world from unjust wars. I succeeded in Maya, and I will never fail in my hometown."
Just as Bruce was about to say something, the communicator on his waist rang. He put the receiver to his ear, and an anxious female voice came from the other side.
"Mr. Wayne, this is the British Embassy. Where are you now? There have been... uh, violent protests on several streets in the UK. The police have already rushed over to deal with them. It will be over soon, but we have to ensure your safety. After all, we are also responsible for the workers of the Wayne Group..."
Bruce showed an embarrassed look, but Jim immediately stepped forward and said, "She is right, Bruce, you are an important person. No one can take responsibility for the heir of the Wayne Group."
"Wait, if those great wizards want to disrupt the situation in London, they will probably target Bruce Wayne. You have become famous recently, so you are particularly dangerous..."
"No, someone has to be sent to protect you, Zach, Zach! Don't drink, wake up, keep an eye on Bruce Wayne, it's all up to you."
Zatanna nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, I can still keep an eye on one person."
After getting Zatanna's assurance, the Dark Master and his group turned around and left to deal with the so-called violent protest.
Zatanna seemed to have just remembered something, looked at Bruce and asked, "You just said you wanted my help, what is it? Since you helped me once, I promise to do it for you."
"Constantine is in trouble again. His soul went to hell, but his body is controlled by a mysterious being. That mysterious being stabbed his chest with a dark fragment. I dare not pull it out casually. After all, if Constantine destroys his body, he can't be resurrected."
Zatanna was not surprised at all when she heard this bizarre story, as if she had been used to it for a long time. She put her hands on the bar and sighed, saying, "He always does such dangerous things, and then expects others to save him in times of crisis. He should really be made to suffer once."
"But not this time."
"Okay, okay, I will bring back the fragment and his body intact."
"It would be better if there is also that mysterious existence."
"I'll try my best."
Not long after Zatanna left, Bruce saw a familiar figure at the door. It was Cain who had become the Joker.
But Cain's state was a bit strange. He kept pinching his neck and bumping around in the bar, then he fell on the surface of a table and asked in a hoarse tone: "What's wrong with your blood, why am I... why... cough cough cough..."
Bruce frowned, but did not show a surprised expression. He walked towards Cain and said to himself: "Sure enough, Batman is not crazy enough, and the Joker is easy to sober up."
"You... you, what did you say?" Cain asked with his hand pressing the corner of his mouth in great pain.
"Nothing." Bruce stood in front of Cain, and the shadow of his body covered Cain's body.
Cain looked up and saw the darker and deeper blue eyes in Bruce's figure against the light.
"Pah, pah, pah..."
Cain closed his eyes painfully, listening to the sound of blood flowing out of the blood vessels in his arm and dripping on the table. He was not as thirsty for blood as a low-level vampire, but Bruce's voice lingered in his ears like a devil.
"Do you like my sacrifice?"
Cain clenched his fists tightly. He would rather drink Bruce's blood and fall into painful madness again than say no.
Because God said no.
Precise grasp, what is an excellent graduate! (Tactical retreat)
