Chapter 131 A-Zu's Philosophy of Love

"Just because I guessed the riddle of the Sphinx?"

"Yes, it's as if it was destined by the gods and fate."

Zatanna picked up the rabbit, "You are destined to guess the answer, we are destined to meet the witch queen, the Sphinx is destined to save me, maybe, sir, this is destined to connect you with this secret house."

Peter looked at the key in his hand, "As you said, maybe it is the arrangement of the gods and fate, but, little Za, it is too precious."

Although he was very interested in the secret house, he also knew that this thing was not an ordinary thing.

"Sir, are you afraid that you can't keep it well?"

Zatanna deliberately pretended to be puzzled and asked.

"You are not good at poor provocation, little Za."

Peter put away the key, "Okay, I'll take it."

"Do you still want to continue your career as a magician?" Peter asked the other party after putting away the key.

"Yes, I will continue to look for my father, return to the magic stage, return to the storm, and return to the other side of the dark night."

"Storm? Dark night?"

Peter shrugged and said to her, "It sounds like you are about to step into a dangerous stage."

Zatanna blinked, "It's a quote, these two sentences are from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven"."

Without waiting for Peter to speak, she proudly read out Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven".

"'Let this be our farewell, bird or demon!' I stood up and shouted,

Go back to your storm, go back to the other side of your dark night!

Don't leave your black feathers as a symbol of your soul's lies!

Leave me complete loneliness!

Let your mouth leave my heart;

Let your body leave my room!"

——

"I am now the crow in Edgar Allan Poe, and my soul has gotten rid of the shadow floating on the floor."

Zatanna stroked the rabbit's long ears and said with a sigh: "I'm leaving the room now and flying back to the storm."

"Really?"

Peter pinched his chin and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he looked up and asked her: "Xiao Za, can you tell me something?"

"What?"

"Since you like reading so much, why did you guess the riddle about the book wrong?"

Zatanna: "."

She felt that her heart was hit hard.

After joking with Zatanna, Peter put a bank card on the table.

"Okay, I won't joke with you anymore. There is some money in this bank card. Maybe you will need it on the road."

Since the other party gave him the right to use the secret house, he was not stingy in helping the other party financially.

Zatanna was a little at a loss when she saw the bank card pushed by Peter.

"No, I can't take it. I am not short of money."

In fact, she didn't have much money to use.

"For a girl on the road, I think the most important thing besides safety is money. Take it. For me, money is the least valuable thing."

Zatanna looked at Peter's expression and was touched.

She slowly exhaled, put away the bank card and held it in her hand, "Thank you, thank you, Uncle Padrick."

She was a little excited and stood up and gave Peter a hug.

"I will always remember this story, always remember it."

On the other side.

Azu hid at the corner of the stairs on the second floor and overheard the conversation between Peter and Zatanna.

He was not very interested in whether Zatanna left or stayed.

He was interested in the key that the other party left for his father.

With the key, he can enter the mysterious house and explore the scene he saw last night again.

Thinking of this, his eyes sparkled.

But when he thought that the key was in his father's hand, how could he secretly take the key out safely and without being discovered?

Thinking of this, his face immediately turned bitter.

No

He soon realized that he had forgotten another very important thing.

Dad actually gave the money to Zatanna?

That was his future money!

His mood suddenly became bad, and he even had an idea to pretend to be a robber and take back the money his father gave to Zatanna.

But he soon realized that this behavior was very risky.

Not to mention that Zatanna was a magician, if this matter was known by his father, he would definitely be dealt with.

"Alas!"

A Zu sighed heavily. Dad was soft-hearted. Whether it was Zatanna or Bruce, as long as they showed a little pity, Dad would be fooled.

These guys without parents, each of them is not a fuel-saving lamp.

At noon, Peter sent Zatanna away and returned to the farm.

Star-Lord was not happy about the magician's departure.

He had not learned a few magic tricks from him before he left, which made him feel very sorry.

"Dad, is Zatanna really gone?"

"Yes, she will continue her magic performance career and is destined not to stay in one place for too long."

Peter used a fork to cut the sausage and replied: "Birds will not stop flying."

Star-Lord took a bite of pancake, his mouth was stuffed, and he asked Peter incoherently: "Is Zatanna a bird?"

"Yes, she is a crow."

Peter said to Star-Lord casually.

"Crow?"

Star-Lord thought about Zatanna's image. She always wore black clothes and a black hat. He nodded, "Yes, she does look a bit like a crow, a crow who can do magic."

"What's wrong? What's bothering you? John."

Seeing Azu's absent-minded look, Peter asked him: "Don't you have a bad appetite?"

"No, it's not."

Azu quickly denied it.

He was depressed because Peter gave his bank card to Zatanna, but he wouldn't say it even to death.

"I just"

He thought for a while and quickly found a reason, "I'm just worried about Clark's situation."

"What happened to Clark?"

Peter asked curiously.

"Clark accidentally set the movie curtain on fire in biology class yesterday."

Azu told the embarrassing thing that happened to Clark.

"You didn't tell me about this, John, what happened?"

Azu organized his words and said: "I don't know, it was just a normal biology class. Clark was sitting at the back, and then the movie screen was played, and he was inexplicably ignited."

"After that, everyone ran out of the classroom."

After Peter listened, he asked Azu: "Is there anything unusual in the biology class?"

"I have no idea."

Azu thought for a moment and said, "But Lana is here."

"Lana?"

After hearing Azu talk about Lana, Peter had a general guess in his mind.

"Dad, I can tell you a secret."

Azu suddenly said mysteriously.

"What secret?"

He looked at the other party in surprise. When did Azu become the "snitch"?

"It's Clark."

Azu came over and whispered: "Clark has a telescope in the 'secret fortress' in his barn. He likes to secretly use the telescope to spy on Lana at night."

Peter: "."

"It's not voyeurism, maybe Clark likes to look at the stars."

Peter coughed and explained a few words for Clark.

Speaking of which, he also has a telescope in the barn. Does this naughty kid think that he also likes to peek?

"Clark doesn't like to look at the stars like his father. He has no interest in the stars."

Azu said firmly: "He only likes Lana, but I don't think Lana likes him."

"Do you know what likes and dislikes are?"

Peter was a little surprised. An eleven-year-old kid knew this?

"Of course I understand."

Azu said that although he is young, he has a lot of life experience.

"They say Lana is the school beauty, and there are many people who like her, so it's not surprising that Clark is one of them, but Clark has nothing outstanding. I mean Clark is like a fool who hides his abilities."

"Dad, if a man and a woman are attracted to each other, they must have outstanding characteristics, right?"

Peter picked up the juice and mentally praised Azu's love philosophy.

But since you know so much, why are you an insulator for girls in school? !

Peter fell into deep thought.

night.

Neil Racecourse.

Lana tied Tyson into the stable and stroked the hair on Tyson's back with her hands.

"Lana."

Nell came out and said to Lana in the stable: "Is Tyson feeling better?"

Tyson hasn't been in a good mood lately, and he even called the vet today.

The veterinarian didn't know what disease Tyson had, so he only prescribed some ordinary medicine.

In order to treat Tyson, Lana stayed with her.

"Still the same."

Lana said in a depressed mood: "The veterinarian said that Tyson may have abdominal pain and he is too old."

"Tyson will be fine." Nell came over to comfort Lana.

After the two said a few words, Lana returned to the room with her aunt.

Lana, who was in a depressed mood, sat on the bed in the room, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

After a while, she got up and got out of bed.

Unable to sleep, she opened the locked drawer on a whim to take a look at the relics left by her mother.

These relics were given to her by Aunt Neel a few days ago.

Her parents died in a car accident during a meteor shower, a pain she has never forgotten.

So she never dared to open it, and it wasn't until today that she finally plucked up the courage.

Just as she reached for the drawer, her fingers accidentally touched the metal wire next to the drawer.

She groaned as she was stabbed.

Looking at the painful area, I found a bright red blood droplet emerging from the index finger of my left hand.

She reluctantly sucked the pricked finger and continued to take out the photo album and notes from the drawer.

Looking through the photos of her parents in the photo album, Lana's expression became sad.

A few minutes later, she closed the photo album and calmed down her mood, but her eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of a thick ancient book.

Curious, she opened the book, but she didn't notice the drop of blood that flowed from her finger and melted into the page.

At the same time, the mark on her arm also glowed strangely.
