Chapter 2948 When Night Falls (Forty)
Chapter 2922 When Night Falls (Forty)
Arkham Knight wiped the blood off his face, exhaled lightly, reloaded the bullet in his gun, turned to look at Doctor Strange and asked: "How are you?"
"The magic power is running low, maybe we should consider retreating." Doctor Strange looked a little embarrassed at this time, his face was paler than before, and his fingertips were trembling slightly, which was a sign of exhaustion.
In front of them lay a pile of corpses, all of which were criminals who were transformed into vampires in the Legion of Doom base. Logically, they would be good materials for necromancy, but Doctor Strange did not pull them up.
Of course, it was because of the monster that was now wandering in the hall of the Legion of Doom base. He had the highest priority control ability over vampires. Even if the vampire's corpse had been controlled by the necromancer, he could still use blood magic to drain the blood from the corpse and form a new blood puppet.
Looking inside along the gate, a half-man, half-bat monster was wandering in the hall. He was about four meters tall, covered with black hair, with thick upper limbs and shorter lower limbs than ordinary people, but also muscular.
He had a bat head, but his eyes and teeth were flashing blood-red light, and there was a pair of huge bat wings behind him, and shadow energy surrounded his arms and neck.
After Arkham Knight and Doctor Strange arrived, he was still trapped. The two of them were dealing with the transformed vampires outside, making a lot of noise, causing the wall on one side of the hall to be smashed, and this guy ran out.
At that time, they knew that they must have been fooled by Constantine, but they were worried that this thing would run away, so they still went ahead.
As it turned out, the two of them could hardly deal with this thing, not because of how strong he was, but because this thing knew too many types of magic, and every collision was a new trick. Before the two of them could make him run out of tricks, they couldn't hold on.
The main reason was that Doctor Strange couldn't hold on any longer. He was already injured and hadn't fully recovered. Although the life energy of the vampire he had killed before made him feel a little better, he still couldn't hold on to such an intense battle.
Moreover, his proud necromancy was also restricted by the opponent's blood magic, and the opponent could also draw power from blood. If they continued to fight like this, this dungeon would not make any profit but would lose money.
Arkham Knight didn't care much about retreating or not, but he felt that if they could take down this monster, maybe Doctor Strange could pull him up again, and they would make a lot of money.
Doctor Strange certainly understood that if they could really do that, they would have the most powerful thugs, and he might be able to find a way to take this guy out, so they wouldn't be afraid of the group of isomorphs chasing him.
After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said, "It's probably not possible with just the two of us, but if our two teammates come, there may be hope."
"I think we can ask Batman for help." Arkham Knight said, "The Justice League should be able to free up their hands. If they can help us take down this monster, it may be more beneficial to deal with vampires."
Doctor Strange doesn't really know Batman. After all, he is from another universe and has little communication with his own isotope. He has heard that Batman is a very powerful guy, but he doesn't know how powerful he is.
However, according to Doctor Strange's observation, Arkham Knight is very strong. He is heard that he is Batman's adopted son, so Batman is probably not bad.
When receiving the communication from Arkham Knight, the Justice League was still in a state of confusion.
First, Green Lantern disappeared in a flash, and then Flash also disappeared in a flash. Except for those who claimed to be the truth but couldn't tell it, everyone else was confused.
Batman glanced at the content of the message and had a plan in mind. He looked at Zan and said, "I know you are not Zan. No matter who you are or what your plan is, it is best not to interfere with the actions of the Justice League."
Zan sat down and said nothing. Jenna looked at her brother with some suspicion. She felt that something was wrong since Zan came back, but she thought it might be because he was depressed by the transformation into a vampire, which caused all kinds of abnormalities.
Now it seems that things are more complicated than she thought.
Batman led the other members of the Justice League away. They returned to the hall. Batman did not explain the previous situation too much. He only said that the Flash was indeed a traitor, and then began to arrange for everyone to solve the vampire problem.
Batman decided to lead the team to deal with the vampire monster himself, because he learned from the Arkham Knight that Constantine asked them to go, which meant that Constantine might think that the monster was the key to dealing with vampires.
Batman knows very well that professional matters should be left to professionals. Although Constantine is unreliable, he is indeed professional in magic. He thinks that the monster is very important, and Batman must ensure that this part of the plan cannot be lost.
In order to prevent problems, he brought Wonder Woman and Superman. Wonder Woman wanted to lead the team to various cities to solve the expansion problem, but considering that Superman might need to be an attacker and Batman still needs protection, she finally chose to join Batman's team.
Now these people are deeply aware that they must not be left alone, because that is the Flash. Who can withstand him suddenly jumping out of the speed force to bite you?
Mars Manhunter and Cyborg did not intend to leave the Justice League Hall. They were not very good at frontal combat and still served as the command center. Aquaman wanted to return to Atlantis to get help, and the Wonder Twins went with him.
Before everyone set off, Jenna still couldn't help but find Zan. She held the door frame and asked with trembling lips: "Is my brother still alive?"
Schiller nodded.
"Where is he?"
"His soul is protected." Schiller said: "I hope you understand that this is a good thing, because if he is controlling this vampire body now, you may have been bitten by him."
"Impossible, he won't hurt me!"
"Vampires are not as simple as you think."
Jenna immediately realized that Schiller had something to say. She took a deep breath, and a lot of questions stirred in her heart, but in the end, she asked the most brilliant question.
"Blood sucking is not the key, right?"
Schiller nodded.
Jenna seemed to understand a little.
In fact, if vampires only transform humans into monsters that are afraid of sunlight and can suck blood, the disaster would not be as bad as it is today. The key is that it will make people evil.
Flash can be said to be the best friend of the Wonder Twins in the Justice League, because Flash is also very young and has a lot of time. They often chat, eat snacks and play games together.
At the same time, the relationship between Flash and Green Lantern is also very good, the kind of relationship that Jenna can't understand a little bit. The backgrounds and experiences of these two people are not similar, and their interests and hobbies seem to be different, but they get along inexplicably.
Jenna knows very well that if it is the real Barry, he would never bite Hal even if he starved himself to death, let alone force Hal to take the blame for himself so viciously.
This means that the character of Flash has been changed, which may be the terrible thing about vampire blood.
A person's appearance is him, his ability is him, his background and experience are all him, but his character is no longer him. What is the difference between this and changing a soul?
Then Jenna thought, so in addition to the transformation of the body, there is also soul pollution, otherwise it is impossible to explain how they turned superheroes into evil criminals.
In other words, if you want to change the transformed superhero back, the body is not the most important thing, and removing the soul pollution is the key.
In other words, it doesn’t matter whether the body is transformed or not. Even if you have to suck human blood, there are many ways to achieve sustainable development. Being afraid of sunlight is not a big deal and can always be solved.
As long as the pollution in the soul can be removed, it is not without benefits to control a vampire body. At least a person who has been bitten once cannot be bitten a second time.
But how to remove the soul pollution?
Jenna knows nothing about this. There is no such thing as magic on the planet where she was born, and the mystical culture is not as rich as that of the earth. This is completely their weakness.
But thinking of the soul, this smart girl suddenly remembered that when they chatted before, Superman joked with them, "You two are simply soul-to-soul."
The magical twins do have such abilities. They are not even telepathic, but can really communicate with each other. Although they cannot convey specific and complex language, their emotions and feelings can be clearly felt by each other.
If I can contact my brother's soul, can I figure out how he was polluted?
Jenna thinks this is very likely. She has to find a way to let this stranger who controls her brother's body take her to find her brother.
The good news is that it seems that this guy doesn't hate me. The bad news is that I don't even know his name. How can I communicate with him?
Jenna thought about it for a while, and finally chose to give up thinking. She said directly: "Can you take me to find my brother's soul?"
Then she added, "Don't get me wrong, I just think that if I contact his soul, maybe I can know what the pollution of the soul by vampire blood looks like."
"Do you think my soul is abnormal?"
Jenna recalled the soul communication they had before, and then shook her head. She really didn't notice anything abnormal.
"I'm a vampire too."
Jenna's eyes widened. She understood what Schiller meant, but she couldn't help but confirm it again, "You mean you were also transformed into a vampire? Your soul was also polluted?"
Schiller nodded.
After being named, Schiller simply stopped pretending. There was no lively expression on his face. Most of the time, he was expressionless, and occasionally he looked a little dull.
Looking at this familiar face, Jenna inexplicably saw another person in him. He looked about the same age as them, but the temperament was very different.
Jenna scratched her head and said, "I don't feel anything abnormal about your soul... Wait, isn't everyone polluted? Why is there such a difference?"
Jenna was obviously the kind of person who loved to think. Although Aquaman came to call them to set off, she was thinking about this question all the way - it seems that not everyone who was turned into a vampire would become evil and cruel. Why is this?
Just when they left the Justice League base, Schiller suddenly asked Jenna a question.
"How many legends about vampires have you heard?"
