Eudemons Qinglong in American manga

Chapter 255 Career Temptation, Agreement with Gods

Although Diana did not mention Enchantress' brother at all, Roy was not surprised.

Because Brother Enchantress is an original character in the movie.

In the comics, Succubus does not have an older brother.

After listening to Diana's story, Roy said slowly:

"Assuming that Barbara really came here for the pottery figurine that sealed the witch, then someone must be instigating her behind the scenes."

"I don't think she, who is imprisoned in Bellliv Prison, knows about the existence of the witch, and that the pottery figurine that sealed the witch was donated to the museum."

Diana nodded and replied with a look of approval:

"I thought so too."

"When Barbara wakes up, I'll question her using the Lasso of Truth."

Speaking of this, Diana suddenly remembered something and frowned at Roy.

Then, he continued:

"You were too harsh. Barbara is not only unconscious now, but also suffered severe comminuted fractures and internal bleeding. She is currently being treated in the emergency room of the hospital."

"Yeah?"

"Then it seems that I have overestimated her physique."

Roy said indifferently.

In his opinion, he was showing mercy by not killing Barbara the Leopard Girl on the spot.

If he had followed his old ways, Barbara would have gone to hell to chat with Lucifer by now.

After seeing Roy's indifferent expression, Diana sighed helplessly.

Although Roy didn't do any evil like other super villains, his methods were still a bit too tough for Diana.

Although Diana didn't know what level Roy's strength had reached, she was certain of one thing, that was, Roy's strength would not be weaker than hers, and would even be much stronger than hers.

This means that if Roy wants to, he can use gentler means to stop Barbara instead of severely injuring Barbara with one punch.

"I will contact you again after I figure out who the instigator behind Barbara is."

Diana said to Roy.

"good."

Roy nodded and replied.

After knowing that Barbara's purpose was to seal the witch's pottery figurine, Roy and Selina left the museum.

Although there are still many things to deal with next, those are things that Diana needs to worry about.

hotel.

Presidential Suite.

After coming out of the museum, Roy and Selina went straight back to the hotel.

This sudden episode caused them to temporarily lose interest in experiencing the customs and customs of the metropolis.

living room.

Roy and Selina were sitting on the sofa, chatting away.

The TV in the living room is playing news reports about the museum case.

"If that witch is released, will it be very troublesome?"

Selina suddenly asked.

"There will definitely be a little trouble, but it shouldn't be big."

Roy replied.

To ordinary people, witches are indeed similar to gods in myths and legends, possessing all kinds of incredible superpowers.

But in the DC universe, Enchantress is just a less powerful super villain.

The witches in the movie can even be dealt with by the Suicide Squad.

Even in the comics, the witch's strength is not particularly difficult.

If Roy remembers correctly, during the Flashpoint incident, the Enchantress was easily killed by Superman who fell from the sky.

"If she is really released, will you assist Diana in dealing with her?"

Selina continued to ask.

"Maybe."

Roy replied somewhat uncertainly.

Although Enchantress is undoubtedly a super villain, he is not the kind of superhero with a strong sense of justice.

If the witch didn't take the initiative to provoke him, he wouldn't take the initiative to deal with the witch.

Of course, if Diana invites him to deal with the witch together, for Diana's sake, he will not refuse.

"I don't think Metropolis is much safer than Gotham right now."

"Although there are far fewer vicious crimes in Metropolis than in Gotham, and they are protected by Superman and Diana, the probability of superhuman criminals appearing in Metropolis is much higher than in Gotham."

Selina frowned and said.

"This is normal. You can think of superheroes and supervillains as the two levels of a magnet."

"Powerful superheroes attract powerful supervillains."

"From a certain perspective, superheroes and supervillains are like two sides of the same coin."

Roy said slowly.

Although this may seem unreasonable, it is true.

The reason is very simple, because weak super villains dare not take the initiative to provoke powerful superheroes.

Super villains are indeed not good people, but they are not idiots and will not provoke enemies they cannot deal with for no reason.

Especially when the other party's existence is already known.

night.

Roy and Selina had just finished a heated debate, and they were lying on the bed in the bedroom chatting.

At this moment, Selina's cell phone rang.

After seeing the caller number, Selina handed the phone directly to Roy.

"Diana called."

Selina said to Roy.

"Um."

Roy took the phone and pressed the connect button.

Before he could speak, Diana's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Barbara is awake. Do you want to go to the hospital with me?"

"No, just tell me after you find out the truth."

Roy replied.

"good!"

After saying that, Diana hung up the phone directly.

"Aren't you going?"

Selina asked doubtfully.

"Why should I go?"

Roy asked rhetorically.

"I thought you would be interested in who was behind Barbara."

Selina said quickly.

"I'm a little interested, but only a little bit."

"Besides, instead of going to the hospital to watch Diana use the truth lasso to ask for the truth, I would rather stay and continue the second round of debate with you."

"I think your point just now is a bit incorrect."

Roy said with a smile.

After hearing his words, Selina raised her eyebrows and said provocatively:

"Really? I don't think you can convince me."

"I will tell you the answer through actions."

After saying that, Roy turned over and pressed on Selina's extremely attractive body.

Soon, the sound of a heated debate between the two of them was heard in the bedroom.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, more than an hour passed.

After the second debate, Selina lay weak on the bed, leaning on Roy's shoulder, unable to say a word.

Unlike Selina, Roy is still full of energy and doesn't feel tired at all.

While stroking Selina's jade-like shoulders, he picked up Selina's cell phone that was turned off.

While they were still debating, Diana made several phone calls.

Although they knew it was Diana calling, neither Roy nor Selina had any intention of interrupting the debate.

In order not to be disturbed by the ringtone of his cell phone, Roy turned off the phone directly.

After the phone was turned back on, it immediately received several missed call notification text messages and messages from Diana.

After taking a look at the text message from Diana, Roy frowned slightly.

"The progress on Diana's side was not very smooth. She didn't ask who was the instigator behind Barbara. She asked me out to talk about the next arrangements."

"You go to bed first, you don't have to wait for me."

Roy said to Selina.

"Uh-huh!"

Selina replied softly.

After giving Selina a gentle kiss on the cheek, Roy started to get up and get dressed.

After finishing dressing up and going to the bedroom to tidy up his appearance, he mobilized the power of the stars in his body and used Flash to leave the presidential suite.

He did not flash to the hospital where Barbara was, but flashed directly to the roof of the hotel.

"Sorry, I just spent time dealing with some personal matters."

As soon as he reached the roof of the hotel, he saw Diana.

Although Diana had just gone to the hospital to inquire about Barbara, she did not change into the Wonder Woman uniform, but wore everyday clothes.

"The person behind Barbara is hidden deeper than I thought. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Diana asked bluntly.

"If Barbara doesn't know who the instigator is behind the scenes, then we can only start with how Barbara escaped from prison."

Roy said quickly.

"I just asked Barbara, and she didn't know how she came out."

"When she woke up, she found that she was no longer in prison."

"Then she found a typed letter and a photo of the pottery figurine next to her."

"The letter didn't say anything about the witch. It just asked her to go to the museum and snatch out the pottery figurines."

Diana frowned and said.

She thought she could easily figure out the truth with the Lasso of Truth, but it turned out that this time things were much more complicated than she imagined.

In other words, the person who instigated Barbara to go to the museum to snatch the pottery figurines had already considered the existence of the mantra lasso.

Otherwise, the instigators behind it would not make such arrangements.

"Barbara is not the kind of person who is obedient, right?"

"What is the threat to her in the letter?"

Roy continued to ask.

He didn't think Barbara would be so obedient and follow the instructions in the letter.

Even if the letter was left by the person who rescued Barbara from prison, Barbara would not have any idea of ​​reciprocating the favor.

"The letter said that if Barbara didn't do it, Barbara would be deprived of her extraordinary abilities."

Deprive Leopard Girl of her extraordinary abilities?

After hearing Diana's answer, Roy frowned slightly.

Although he knew that Barbara's extraordinary abilities were given by gods, there was a possibility of them being taken away.

But the only one who can do this is the spirit that bestows extraordinary abilities on Barbara.

"Um...how did Barbara become what she is now?"

Roy decided to first find out whether it was the ancient African god Urtzkartaga or the cheetah goddess of the Thain tribe who gave Barbara extraordinary powers.

"When Barbara was inspecting a certain ruins on the African continent, she found the God-killing Blade possessed by the Cheetah Goddess."

"She didn't know what the God-Killing Blade was at the time."

"When she was about to leave with the God-killing Blade, the expedition team was attacked by an unknown armed force."

"While escaping, Barbara was scratched by the God-killing Blade, and then gained extraordinary abilities bestowed by the Cheetah Goddess."

Diana recalled it for a moment and said slowly.

After listening to Diana's story, Roy frowned slightly.

Although Barbara is the same as in the comics, she received the extraordinary abilities given by the Cheetah Goddess because of the God-Killing Blade.

But it's obvious that the process by which Barbara obtained her extraordinary powers was completely different from the one in the comics.

In the comics, Barbara stole the God-Killing Blade from the storage room of the Magic Artifacts of the Sky Eye Society, and then pierced her chest with the God-Killing Blade, and then gained the extraordinary abilities bestowed by the Cheetah Goddess.

"I don't know much about gods like the Cheetah Goddess."

"But as far as I know, if you want to deprive yourself of the extraordinary abilities granted by the gods, only the gods themselves can do it."

"The person who helped Barbara escape from prison and asked her to snatch the pottery figurines was definitely not the Cheetah Goddess herself."

"I don't think the Cheetah Goddess would be so boring."

Roy said slowly.

"It is absolutely impossible for the cheetah goddess to help Barbara escape from prison. Gods cannot interfere in human affairs at will. This is an agreement between the gods."

Diana said quickly.

"Then there is only one way left, and that is to go to the warden of Bellevue Prison and ask what is going on."

"A criminal who was supposed to be a key prisoner escaped from prison inexplicably, and the warden must be held responsible for this."

"By the way, Amanda Waller, the warden of Bellevue Prison, brought someone to see me yesterday and asked Selina and I to leave Metropolis as soon as possible. I ignored her."

After hearing Roy's words, Diana frowned slightly.

She knew that Amanda Waller was the official agent of the United States in dealing with superhuman affairs, and was also the warden of Bellevue Prison and one of the commanders of the Sky Eye Society.

But she didn't expect that Amanda Waller would actually come to see Roy and ask Roy and Selina to leave Metropolis as soon as possible.

After a few seconds of silence, she asked Roy:

"Is it convenient for you to leave the hotel now?"

"I know where Amanda Waller lives. If it's convenient for you, would you like to go there with her?"

"No problem, I've already told Selina to let her sleep first."

Roy replied.

"Okay, let's go there now."

After saying that, Diana, who was wearing regular clothes, took the lead in flying towards Amanda Waller's residence.

Roy followed closely and followed Diana out of the hotel.

As an official high-level official of the United States government, Amanda Waller usually has a very nice luxury residence.

Although she does not live in a beautiful and quiet suburb like other rich people, she has a large luxury apartment in the city center.

"Do you need a change of clothes?"

Roy asked Diana.

"No, Amanda knows my true identity."

Diana replied quickly.

"All right."

Although Diana's current outfit is also very attractive, Roy still prefers Diana to wear Wonder Woman's outfit.

If nothing else, at least it has more "professional" temptation.

Soon, Roy and Diana arrived above Amanda Waller's apartment.

Without any hesitation, Diana landed first on the huge viewing balcony outside the apartment.

When Diana landed, Roy landed slowly on the balcony.

On the surface, the apartment where Amanda Waller lives looks like a luxury apartment with a staggering price tag.

But in fact, the apartment has security measures comparable to those of official agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security and the Pentagon.
