Chapter 378 Star-Lord: Dad, Do You Like Fishing Nets?

"Who is the Dark Night Brother?"

In Zatanna's room, Peter asked her who had already woken up.

Zatanna, who had calmed down, took a look at the pink pajamas she was wearing.

The pink pajamas could not cover the protruding breasts on her chest.

She looked a little hot, and quietly put on a magician's coat.

"He is a man who made a deal with the devil, sir. Have you heard of the murder of the thirteen teenagers on Mount Diablo?"

Zatanna asked him with a red face.

"I have heard a little bit about it."

Peter pretended not to see Zatanna's blushing face. He nodded and said, "I think people in the Bay Area should be more familiar with this story."

Zatanna put on her clothes and got off the bed barefoot.

As a result, she almost fell to the ground because of the pain caused by her injured arm.

Peter helped her up, "No need to get out of bed, Zatanna, just lie down on the bed."

"Thank you, sir."

Zatanna exhaled, calmed her breath, and said to Peter: "Forty years ago, a car of children was hijacked. The hijacker was Elton Pike, who was once an antisocial hippie and later became a religious leader of the fanatics."

"Three days later, the police found that crazy bastard covered in blood, and the thirteen children were also arranged in a weird pattern by him."

Zatanna was a little reluctant when she said this.

"The police later announced what happened at the scene, but there was something they didn't announce in the briefing, that is, when the police finally caught Elton Pike, he just muttered something and ran away."

Peter nodded, "What happened next?"

"The police all stood there, as if they were all petrified."

Zatanna told the story of forty years ago.

She sighed slightly, "Pike is the Dark Night Monk. He made a deal with the devil and sacrificed his child to gain the power of hell."

Sitting on the bed, Zatanna continued to say to Peter with a heavy heart: "A month ago, I investigated a massacre in San Francisco. The local drug lord Albert Deco was killed in his villa. This drug lord is very famous in the local area."

Zatanna told the information about this drug lord.

"Albert Deco once offered me two million to perform at his yacht party. I told him that I was prone to seasickness, so I pushed the matter off."

Peter listened to Zatanna's story quietly, thought about it, and said to her: "I guess this guy died miserably."

"Yes, sir, not only him, but everyone who attended his party was brutally murdered. The means were quite cruel. They were deformed, burned, and bitten by insects. It was just like a carnival of monsters."

Peter frowned slightly and asked Zatanna: "These people Were they all killed by the Night Brothers? "

"Yes, the people who attended the party were all big names in the San Francisco underworld. This massacre was simple and direct."

Zatanna said to Peter in a deep voice: "The Night Brothers controlled half of the underground underworld in San Francisco. In order to declare his sovereignty, he massacred the entire underworld crowd in the villa."

"I have been trying to catch him, but I have never found any trace of him. I guess this nightmare is the subordinate of the Night Brothers."

Zatanna's eyes flashed with uncontrollable anger when she said this.

"I must catch him and make him pay the price!"

After listening to Zatanna's story about her entanglement with the Night Brothers, Peter was silent for a moment and then said: "If you need help, Xiao Za, I can help you deal with this Night Brother."

Although he didn't know much about the magic world, he thought it would not be difficult for him to deal with a guy who sold his soul.

"No, sir, I can handle it."

Zatanna refused Peter's help, "I will send him to hell myself."

Looking at the wound on her shoulder that Peter had bandaged, Zatanna said firmly.

"It's a good thing to have confidence. I believe you can do it."

Peter looked at the clock on the wall, and the hour hand was already pointing to twelve o'clock.

"It's too late, go to bed early."

Peter said to Zatanna: "If you have any plans, you can start tomorrow."

"Okay, sir."

Zatanna nodded and sat down on the bed honestly.

Seeing Peter open the door and leave, she hesitated and called Peter.

"Sir."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Peter stopped and turned around to ask him.

"Nothing, sir, I just want to say: Thank you, thank you for helping me rebuild my dream."

Zatanna looked directly at Peter and thanked him with mixed feelings.

"No need to be polite between us, Xiao Za."

Peter thought for a moment, walked over and handed her a key.

"This is the key to the Mystery House. Now that you've grown up, I think I can give it to you."

The key to the Mystery House, Peter kept it in his hands. He was worried that the key might be stolen by some naughty kids at any time in the future.

Last time, Azu and Clark stole the key and opened the passage to the black robe world.

He didn't know what these naughty kids would do next time.

It's safest to return this thing to its original owner.

Seeing the key to the Mystery House appear in front of her, Zatanna was stunned for a moment.

Then she shook her head and said to Peter sincerely: "I think, sir, it might be safest to leave the key with you."

At first, the key was kept in the hands of his father, but now his father is consumed by flames. Perhaps Mr. Peter is the most suitable person to keep the key now, and the Secret House also recognizes him.

And I trust Mr. Peter just like I trust my father.

Zatanna thought in her heart.

"Okay, if you insist."

Seeing that Zatanna wanted to keep the key in her own hands, Peter put the key away without saying anything.

"Good night, Xiao Zha."

"Good night, sir."

The next day, early morning.

Star-Lord kept looking at Peter strangely.

"What's wrong, are there flowers on my face?"

Peter frowned and asked Star-Lord, who had been staring at him.

Star-Lord wanted to say that he saw Peter coming out of Zatanna's room last night.

He was a little thirsty last night and wanted to go downstairs to get some water, but he saw his father coming out of Zatanna's room.

Although I really wanted to know what was going on, I guessed that if I asked, I would definitely make Peter angry.

After all, my father is the kind of person who cares about face and is very petty.

"No, I just"

Under Peter's gaze, Star-Lord was speechless.

"I mean, there's something I want to tell you."

Star-Lord immediately changed the subject to other aspects.

"What?"

"I saw that Azu answered the phone just now. It seemed to be from the girl named Abby."

Star-Lord, like Clark, transformed into a "snitch" and told Peter gossip about Azu.

Anyway, "a dead Taoist friend will not die a poor Taoist".

"You should spend more time on yourself, Star-Lord. I received a call from your teacher the day before yesterday. He said that your grades are steadily declining."

Peter criticized Star-Lord's academic performance, "When the semester is over, you won't give me a 'D' in every subject, will you?"

Faced with Peter's doubts, Star-Lord immediately made his own argument, "No, of course not, I'm just biased."

"Which subject do you prefer?"

"I like math, but I don't like English."

Peter looked at Star-Lord's confident look and felt that he had to give him some extra lessons.

Even though I didn't get good grades in some studies, I was still so confident, which was a bit like myself back then.

This little naughty kid doesn't want to learn from bad things.

"Really? It seems you should ask Teacher Martha to give you extra lessons."

Peter's words sounded like a thunderbolt above Star-Lord's head.

"You can take extra classes with Loki."

Star-Lord, who looked a little flustered, quickly said: "I think I'm smart enough, I don't need to make up lessons."

Peter shook his head and said, "No, Star-Lord, I can't be an astronaut, let alone a man who conquers the galaxy."

This kid saw him coming out of Zatanna's room last night, secretly hiding on the stairs, and muttering, "So dad likes fishing nets."

Regarding Star-Lord's behavior of peeping and talking nonsense, Peter decided to educate him.

After patting Star-Lord on the shoulder and looking at the other person's sad face, Peter went downstairs with satisfaction.

Diavolo Mountain at night.

During the day, after some investigation, Zatanna determined the possible location of the Night Monk.

According to information provided by friends in the police department, several people were kidnapped in San Francisco.

The criminal is most likely the Night Monk who killed the drug lord before.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Zatanna used the portal to enter the dark woods of Mount Diavolo.

Without informing Peter, she dealt with the Night Monk alone.

Following the faint light flickering on Mount Diavolo, Zatanna walked through the woods and hurried forward.

"Forty years ago, I sacrificed my child to the grave as a sacrifice to hell."

In an open space with boulders placed, the dark night monk, who looked like a middle-aged man with gray skin, completely black eyes, and a cold aura all over his body, smiled and said to his subordinates in the audience:

"These tombs have been empty for a long time, and tonight they will receive their sacrifices."

A naked female demon came out of hell and walked up to the dark night monk and said, "Please allow me to use fire sacrifice. I will burn these people to ashes."

"No, Amber, not tonight, you must follow my ritual."

The Dark Night Monk rejected the proposal of the female demon Amber and said to her with a serious expression: "Tonight is the day of sacrifice, you must not mess around!"

"You all can't mess around!"

A voice suddenly came from behind the dark night monk.

"Stones are food for demons!"

Along with the recitation of the irony magic, a flame-colored magic energy struck three nearby hideous-looking ogres.
