Chapter 1513 C: Twilight Event (XIX)

Chapter 1506 C Twilight Event (XIX)

The summer in the metropolis is sunny, and the overly scorching sun makes all the glass products on the street shine brightly. A layer of heat waves visible to the naked eye on the asphalt road binds people's footsteps like a condensed colloid.

A young man wearing black-framed glasses hurriedly crossed the zebra crossing. Although he was wearing formal clothes and carrying a briefcase on his shoulder, he didn't look like he was going to work, because he was holding a dog in one hand and a black cat in the other.

But he walked into a small newspaper office in the XC district of the metropolis in this posture. After passing the unknown newspaper sign, the young man was about to walk into the office when he heard a scream.

"Clark, my God! Is this your dog and cat? Ahhhhhh! Come out and see, he really brought them here!

Clark looked back and thought that only Louise was standing at the stairs, but a few seconds later, a group of women rushed out from the stairs leading upstairs, screaming incessantly. Krypton's head was touched eighteen times in one second, and Batcat couldn't escape the clutches.

"Ah, yes, this is Krypton, this is Boo, I'm here to deliver something, Louise, the information you want."

As he spoke, Clark took out a document from his bag with the hand holding the dog leash and handed it to Louise next to him. Louise shook her head and said, "I told you I'm not in a hurry, you can bring it tomorrow when you go to work, this is not the Metropolitan Daily."

"We all think it's a pity." Clark sighed and said, "You are such an excellent reporter but you can only stay in a tabloid. "

"It's okay. This is my own choice. You have to work harder, otherwise you won't be able to support your cats and dogs. Oh, by the way, someone just called here to find you. Do you want to call him back?"

"Calling here to find me, is it because I left the wrong number for the client? Give me his phone number and I'll call him back when I get home."

Clark got the number from Lois and found it was an unfamiliar number, so he didn't care. After returning home, he dialed the number. Just as he was about to apologize, he heard a familiar voice from the other side.

"Hello, Clark, this is Bruce. I want to ask you for a favor, okay? To be precise, it's you, Diana and Hal, but both of them are not on the base now, and your phone can't be reached, so I can only call Lois to find you."

"Oh, sorry, some hackers got my private number before and kept making harassing calls here, so I hung up the phone. Next time if you have something to do, just call my full name and talk to the air. I can hear you. "

"It's like this. You should have watched the variety show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire"? But now something went wrong. I originally thought that the ordinary black diamond actually contains some powerful power. Vampires attacked humans in London, and there was a big mess in the magic world. Now both parties want to get the black diamond. "

"You also know that whether it is a vampire or a wizard, it is difficult to expect them to care about the feelings of ordinary people. I hope you three can help recover the black diamond to prevent ordinary people with them from being attacked or falling into the hands of bad people. "

"Oh my God." Clark said, "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

Then he remembered that his phone was on hold and Bruce couldn't get through, so he didn't say "I can handle this myself" which was already on his lips. He sighed and said, "I'm going to find Hal and Diana now. It's better not to throw away any dangerous things in the future."

"Yes, it's my fault. It's all your fault. Goodbye. "

After hanging up the phone, Batcat jumped onto the table and snorted, "What trouble did that guy give you again?"

Although it was a question, the tone was affirmative, but Clark was already used to it. He said to himself, "I have to find those black diamonds, but I haven't seen what they look like. It seems that I have to find Diana for this matter."

But before Clark could find Diana, Diana came to him first, and her face was very serious. Clark was cooking for Krypton in the kitchen while listening to Diana's recent experience.

"Dick from another universe went to my brother's palace with me. I persuaded His Majesty the God of Fire to open his warehouse, but Dick was not dazzled by those artifacts. He just picked some small artifacts according to his own combat style, and didn't look at those precious but bulky things at all. "

"He is very much liked by my brother. Hephaestus thinks he is a steady and non-greedy person. They talked very happily. I was very happy, but at this time, Hermes, the messenger of Olympus, brought me bad news. "

"My mortal enemy, the witch Circe, is now tracking down a black diamond with powerful power. She calls it the Eclipse, saying that it is the angry spirit that caused the flood at the beginning of God's creation. She wants to obtain its power and bring destruction and disaster back to the world again. "

"In fact, she had already started collecting when the Eclipse came. Now she has more than a hundred fragments in her hands. She saw a variety show clip of Bruce Wayne asking ordinary people to collect black diamonds for him. She thinks Bruce already knows the preciousness of black diamonds and may have even obtained a lot of fragments."

"So, her next target is Bruce?" Clark asked with wide eyes.

"It is very likely that the magic world has encountered an unprecedented disaster. The wizards are unable to stand up and stop this turmoil. We can only rely on us."

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go quickly."

Diana shook her head and said, "The power of the Eclipse is very strong. Anyone who touches it with his hands may be bewitched. Hal's green light energy can isolate this influence. He is planning to use the green light energy to create several special gloves so that we can safely touch the fragments of the Eclipse."

In the space station base outside the earth, Hal, who was trying to use the green light energy to create gloves, also received a call.

"Hello, Professor Schiller, what's wrong? I'm at the base of the space station. Oh my God, have you heard about this too? Yes, we are working on solving this problem."

Hal lowered his head, changed the phone to another hand, and then said: "Diana plans to collect such fragments all over the world, at least more than the witch Circe found, so that her conspiracy will not succeed."

"But even Diana and Clark have to be careful when touching such fragments. I'm planning to make a pair of gloves made of green light energy for them... What? You want one too? Oh, your friend got one, You want to do research? "

"Okay, okay, I know I shouldn't remind you that this thing is dangerous. What else is more dangerous than you? But I still have to say, don't let ordinary people touch it... As for the gloves, I will make them as soon as possible. I will fly over to give them to you when they are ready. Okay, that's it, goodbye."

Schiller hung up the phone and turned to look at a man behind him. He was wearing a long brown windbreaker with his collar turned up. His face was a typical Slavic look, with sunken eye sockets and prominent brows. He was Petrov, the deputy director of the 11th Bureau of the KGB who had previously returned the medal to Schiller.

"The gloves that allow you to touch the black diamond will be delivered soon. Before that, keep an eye on all the targets who have been confirmed to hold the black diamond. Don't let them out of sight. If they go crazy, stop them remotely. No one should get close to the black diamond."

"Don't worry, Director. Under your leadership, the 11th Bureau has been collecting various powerful items all over the world for many years. Our comrades are very familiar with similar processes. Once the containment equipment arrives, we will immediately take action."

In Wayne Manor, Damian, who had just finished a day of classes, threw his schoolbag on the sofa as soon as he got home and hurried into Elsa's room. In Elsa's room, Elsa, Harley, and Jason sat together.

"Why did you come back just now? Come on, we have a new way, which will definitely be much faster than asking Thomas to find it." Harley waved at Damian and said.

"What are you going to do?" Damian also walked over and sat down, saying, "Thomas has been keeping a close eye on me these days. He won't let me go out to look for fragments at night, but I'm sure there are fragments scattered in Gotham."

"I've told you not to think about looking for it yourself. There are only a few of us. Even if we look for it every day, how long will it take to find a thousand dollars?" Harley crossed her arms and said, "You have to learn to use your brain!"

"What are you going to do?" Damian asked curiously.

"Do you remember that Arkham Hospital provides a place for mercenaries to gather and communicate? We can pay to post tasks there and let the group of mercenaries help us find it, right?"

Damian raised his eyebrows, thought for a while and said, "That's a way, but where do we get the money? The remuneration of those top mercenaries should be very expensive, right?"

"Indeed, so I definitely don't have enough money. I was able to ask Deathstroke for help before because he owed me a favor, but this time it won't work. But don't forget where we are. Thomas likes you so much, you If I ask him for pocket money, will he refuse to give it to me? "

"But I can't ask him for pocket money." Damian pursed his lips and said with some embarrassment: "How can I...I can't..."

Ten minutes later, Thomas in the office looked helplessly at the four little heads looking up at him. He reached out and touched each of them, then said: "Well, it's better to spend money on you than on that prodigal Bruce, Morey! Morey! Prepare a card for me!"

Harry made a "look and I'll tell you" gesture to Damian, and Damian rolled his eyes helplessly.

After leaving Thomas' office, Damian asked: "Harry, who are you going to hire with this money?"

"Of course, the strongest mercenary."

In this way, the battle for the angry spirit of God, that is, the fragments of the eclipse, is quietly going on in the dark world that ordinary people can hardly detect.

A thousand fragments sounds like a lot, but under the search of various people with special skills, most of the fragments have nowhere to hide, and the specific location and holders gradually surfaced.

But as the battle became more and more intense, this group of people inevitably met in various occasions. Since the number of fragments was fixed, you had more and I had less, and it was a zero-sum game. Everyone wanted to snatch more fragments from others while keeping their own inventory, so meeting and fighting has become the norm.

The first to make a breakthrough was Zatanna. Her irony magic was very unreasonable. It was not costly and very convenient. The unprepared Gabriel was directly frozen in place by her finger.

Zatanna pulled out the core fragment from his chest and forcibly saved Constantine's body, but Gabriel was very cunning. At the moment when the seal of the fragment was lifted, he used the spare body that had been prepared to escape.

Zatanna returned to the Forgotten Bar with the pulled out core fragment to find Bruce. When the two were studying the fragment, the door of the Forgotten Bar was knocked open with a "bang".

Just when Zatanna thought that the Dark Night Master Jim and his group would come, a figure wearing black and yellow armor appeared at the door.

"Don't waste my time. Give me what you have."
