"You usually don't come here!" Batman stood behind Constantine and said, "You're the kind of person who wants to solve everything by yourself. That's the damn pride of you Mages. If you're here, it means that you have a plan and want to use us. Tell me … what do you want? "
Constantine raised his hand and said, "Don't say that. We act on our own because we think we can solve the problem."
"When we're powerless, Mages know how to unite their friends!" Constantine said as he lit a cigarette. But what he was actually thinking was … You guessed right!
Constantine knew that no matter what he wanted to do, he wouldn't be able to gain the trust of this transvestite in front of him. Fortunately, he didn't need to gain Batman's trust. In fact, it was more advantageous for Batman to suspect him.
"What happened?" Batman asked.
Constantine exhaled a smoke ring and sighed. "I discovered the origin of magic …" Constantine believed that the news of discovering the origin of magic would make Batman nervous for a while. It was a secret that everyone knew. Batman didn't trust anyone, much less those mysterious Mages. Constantine knew that Batman had wanted to control the world of magic for a long time.
To that end, he even agreed to establish the Justice League of Darkness as a fulcrum for the Justice League to expand its influence in the world of magic.
Unfortunately, the Justice League of Darkness itself wasn't reliable. Who were its members? Dead people … worshipers of a certain Indian god. A villain who created a strange serum for himself and wanted to become Batman, only to be controlled by the serum. Zatanna … She was the only reliable one, and the hand that the Justice League of Darkness extended into the world of magic.
The swamp monster, the agent of the Green of All Things, the protector of the environment. There was also the Madam of Shangdu … the mysterious witch.
The common characteristic of these people was that they were rarely seen together, let alone united!
Of course, there was Constantine himself … Batman looked at Constantine's handsome face that looked serious but was actually frivolous … This was one of the few people he couldn't see through, and he was someone who gave him a headache. If Constantine hadn't always acted like a hero, Batman would've kicked him out!
"The origin of magic!" This topic indeed piqued Batman's interest.
After the origin of lightning speed and the origin of the emotional spectrum, was the origin of magic finally beginning to unveil? Batman thought to himself, I hope it's not what I think it is...
"Magic was created by man … The one who created it is related to the prophet!" Constantine observed Batman's expression.
But Batman wouldn't reveal any flaws so easily. He didn't show it on the surface, but he sighed inwardly. As expected …
Seraphic Speed, Emotional Spectrum, and then magic … What was the Prophet trying to do by creating these special powers? If the bloodline of the powerful warrior in "The Origins" was really related to Krypton, then even Superman's power was created by the prophet. What were they trying to do? Could it be related to the world that was destroyed the last time?
Batman has learned something about the Marvel World from Little Spider.
He had a guess. In the final battle, Professor Stark and Superman Rogers had displayed powers similar to some people in this universe. Logically speaking, Superman was not Steve Rogers, and Dr. Manhattan should not be related to Dr. Stark. However, when Batman thought of the big X that destroyed the Seven Lanterns, he instinctively felt it.
That might be the Tonny Stark of the previous world.
The clues of the previous world were left in this world … What was the prophet trying to do?
Batman felt more and more that the waters of the Three Prophets system were really deep.
At this moment, Constantine suddenly asked, "Is Zach with you?" He raised his head and looked at the watchtower above his head. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes looked worried … But no one knew if it was his acting. In any case, Batman felt that Constantine wasn't simply worried about Zatanna.
"She went to help Diana!" Batman replied. "Are you coming to the watchtower to wait for her?"
"Okay!" Constantine didn't refuse at all. He put out the cigarette in his hand and said, "I've been worried about her ever since the Church of Cold Flames chased us and was forced to separate from her."
"That thing is with you?" Batman looked at him with an extremely oppressive gaze.
But this was useless against Zha Kang. Zha Kang smiled cheekily and said, "It's better for me to hold such a dangerous magic tool. Bat, you know that my hands are magical."
It was rare for Batman to not insist on his own opinion and let Zha Kang continue holding the Eye of Agomodo. He knew that Zha Kang was right. The Justice Alliance was powerful, and the heroes were united. Everything was good except that they were a little insensitive to magic. If anything happened to the magic tool, they really couldn't do anything about it. Even if Zatanna held it …
It wasn't safe!
Who knew how many people in the magic world coveted this thing … The last time Constantine and Zatanna held this thing together, they were almost chased into a dead end. If not for that, he wouldn't have forced Zatanna to leave. Even so, he still caused the death of a friend …
He had no choice but to project his Soul Astral Body over and contact Strange before he figured out who this thing was connected to. He borrowed the power of a Dimensional Lord to counterattack.
Batman left the room with Constantine. They needed to leave the public area through a secret door and arrive at the part of the Hall of Justice hidden under the surface of the water — the part where the Justice Alliance's command hall and activity area was located. The secret door was hidden under a fountain with strange sculptures. The strangest thing was — how did the heroes bypass the tourists and enter the secret door?
They just had to open the fountain!
Under the cover of the fountain, Batman opened the secret door. The secret door was a high-tech door supported by Steel Bones and a magic door that Diana asked her brother, Vulcan, to create. Constantine studied the magic door excitedly, but in the end, he had to admit that he couldn't enter the door without the password.
But this didn't mean that he couldn't sneak into the Hall of Justice. After all, a real Mage could always find loopholes, and Mages would never crack a door honestly. They could go anywhere and bypass the defense …
In conclusion, this door could stop a gentleman, but not Constantine.
After entering the watchtower base, there weren't many heroes still in the hall. Barry greeted Constantine. "It's rare to see you here … John. Are you looking for Xiao Zha? She's furious with you … The last time you chased her back, she scolded Diana for the whole night … Her eyes were still red the next day. "
Constantine said, "Find me a room … Is there a guest room here?"
"Or let me stay in Xiao Zha's room!"
Barry shook his head. "No … She'll come back and give you a curse, and then give me another one. She's really furious! Think of a way to explain it! "
Constantine could only stay in the house that Luther used to live in. Frankly speaking … it was a nice house. Luther had spent a lot of money to renovate it. He strolled to the dining hall of the watchtower. When it was time to eat, there were many people in the dining hall. Due to the recent tense situation, many heroes had returned to the watchtower base, including Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Neptune, Batman, Firestorm, Atom, and so on.
Only Diana had taken Zatanna to investigate something, and Superman had gone to deal with some matters. The others were basically there.
Eagle Man warned Constantine, "Smoking is prohibited here!"
"Is that so?" Zha Kang had to put down the 'Sika' in his hand and lowered his eyebrows. "I really don't fit in here … There's no one to talk to. Let me think … I seem to be more familiar with Shazan … Where's Shazan? "
"He's in his room!" Condor said, "He likes to eat some sweet things, doughnuts, candy, and so on, but Diana and Batman sometimes say that he. But Diana and Batman sometimes say that he's like that, so he brought them to his room to eat secretly … This is actually not a good thing for him. I can understand Diana and Batman's thoughts … Shazan, he's not very mature. "
Although Captain Shazan looked tall and steady, everyone in the Justice Alliance knew … that he was actually still a child.
So, they would sometimes take care of him … Children always have a rebellious phase, and Shazan could not completely treat him as a child, that would damage his authority. Shazan did not want to be the little brother of the Justice Alliance … He did not want to be like Little Spider. So, he would return to his room to do things that would damage his image secretly.
Constantine smiled and ordered a glass of whiskey, then another … until the chef warned him that he was already a little drunk.
Constantine could only stagger back to his room.
The next day, he was woken up by the alarm. Constantine rubbed his eyes and walked out of his room. He saw that all the heroes had come out and the atmosphere was not right. Batman's face was so dark that it could drip water. Eagle Woman turned her head and leaned on Hawkman's shoulder, whimpering softly. As for Hawkman, he clenched his fists and his eyes were burning.
Barry gripped his hands tightly and his eyes turned red.
Wonder Woman hurried over with Zatanna. They had just returned when they saw a group of people surrounding the door of Shazan's room. Diana pushed them away and walked forward. In the room filled with childlike charm, Captain Shazan was lying on the floor. A wound had entered his back and he was no longer breathing.
Diana was extremely furious!
She restrained herself with 120% of her self-control and did not roar out.
Constantine also walked forward. When he saw Shazan's corpse, his face instantly turned pale. Anyone could see that Shazan was killed without any preparation. Shazan's room was like a child's style, so he usually did not invite anyone in. Only those whom he trusted very much could enter his room.
In the Justice Alliance's base, who could kill him without alerting anyone?
Not everyone was Batman, but anyone could easily guess that the person who killed Shazan must be someone he trusted very much. Moreover, the murderer was in the watchtower base … Constantine knew that he was in big trouble!
