The Death Knell

"Pet the cat? Yes, as long as you pet it a lot, the cat will naturally bless you."

Su Ming motioned to Jessica to stand behind him and talk to the witch boy himself. He pointed at Tikel, who was being held by the witch boy, and there seemed to be some playfulness in his tone.

Nowadays, Jessica's strength has greatly increased. In fact, she has always held back during the battle, otherwise the omega rays would have killed the witch boy.

She belongs to the group that doesn't kill Earthlings, a standard Green Lantern warrior style, so she is relieved that Deathstroke takes over the battle.

Although she was pressing down on the witch boy and fighting, her hands were tied very awkwardly. The opponent's magic was either black energy balls or various black tentacles, and her head was also dizzy.

"Origin Deathstroke, I heard Zatanna talk about you, but I didn't expect that the first time we met was on the battlefield."

The witch boy touched the cat he was holding. The cat seemed a little scared and kept crawling into his arms.

Although it is a clone of the Lord of Chaos, it is now a cat. It can feel that there is a terrifying creature in Deathstroke, so it is naturally a little timid.

"No, Clarion, you have already thought of it. Now that you have joined Circe's team, how could you not have expected to meet me? You are too humble." Su Ming took off his mask and pointed with a smile. The witch was attacked from both sides by Diana and Cyborg.

The witch boy showed a sinister smile. He was like this. His life without seeing the sun for a long time made him look sinister at all times:

"I just don't have a choice. You know, whether it's the Justice League or the Legion of Doom, I can't afford to offend. I'm not alone. As a 'preacher', I must be responsible for the residents of 'Witch Town'."

Su Ming nodded, and the information he knew flashed through his mind.

.............................

Witch Town is more like a city than a town. It is located underground and is a paradise full of steampunk and gothic styles.

The residents of Roanoke lived there, members of a settlement when the British colonized North America. The residents of the entire town disappeared in one night, which became a major unsolved case in history.

Some people say that the town was massacred by the North American aborigines, others say that the residents returned to England overnight, and others think that they heard the song of the siren and committed suicide by throwing themselves into the sea at night.

There are various rumors, but none of them are reliable.

The residents of Roanoke are not only Puritans, but also have another secret identity. They all belong to a group of magicians who fled from England, and they are also the kind of magicians who believe in God.

As more and more colonies were colonized in North America, the peace and anonymity they desired were inevitably broken.

Therefore, under the leadership of the "missionaries" at that time, the people in their town went underground to live, rebuilding their ideal hometown there, a paradise that would never be disturbed by others.

The name missionary refers to their religious leader, archmage, and mayor all in one.

Because something strange happened in Aronoke, it turned into an empty town overnight. Later colonists thought the name was unlucky, but because the town's location was too good, it couldn't be wasted.

So later ordinary immigrants reoccupied this empty town and named it 'New York' according to British custom.

In this way, New York quickly developed because of its harbor and rivers, and deep underground, Witchtown also flourished with magic and later steam technology.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to enjoy a peaceful life on earth forever. The Puritan wizards who sneaked underground in the past obviously did not expect that three hundred years later, humans would invent a form of transportation called the 'subway' .

New York's subway network did not connect to Witch Town, but it was only separated by a thin layer. A curious child used magic to penetrate the weak spot in the ground and entered the long-lost human society.

This child is Clarion, the witch boy. He is a naughty child by nature. He has never known what honesty is. The various rules of the Puritans are almost killing him. He has had enough.

The Puritans were fundamentalists who only recognized the Bible but not people. They focused on abstinence and various precepts.

Entertainment and leisure?

It didn't exist. In the Witch Town at that time, if you hummed a tune, it was against the commandments and you would be whipped fifty times.

Eating too extravagantly? guilty. Dressed too nicely? guilty. Is the house too luxurious? guilty.

Because the Bible says that God only eats bread and water, wears only linen clothes, and even has no fixed abode. How can believers enjoy more than God?

You must share joys and sorrows with God before you can go to heaven after death!

All in all, these people have nothing to do underground. They study magic and various precepts every day, and they are crazy about building Witch Town into a paradise on earth.

So the witch boy ran away without thinking about where to go. In short, he just wanted to escape from the prison.

So he sneaked into the New York subway network, and wanted to go to the ground to see, and then... Then he was caught by human traffickers because of his blue skin color, and was regarded as Rare items were almost sold to the circus.

But he was a magician after all. He subconsciously resisted and used magic to kill the trafficker. He suddenly discovered that he seemed to be quite strong in human society.

Since then, he has been wandering in the dark nights of New York, going into various dark places, contacting liars, lunatics, murderers, and black wizards, and quickly taught himself to become a cruel and ruthless qualified mage.

He has extensive knowledge, is duplicitous, speaks his mind and uses his wits. In short, he has mastered all the characteristics that can help him survive in the complex magic world. He was also lucky enough to save the cat Tick who was being hunted. You, the incarnation of the Lord of Chaos.

This cat is not only a cat, the wizard boy who has signed a contract with it can observe the world through its perspective, no matter how far away it is or whether it is night, and can even borrow some of the power of the Lord of Chaos.

At the same time, the most important thing is that this cat can occasionally turn into a beautiful girl with cat ears, which is really cool.

The witch boy lived a good life in those days. After gaining ability, there were many ways to make money.

But he still had concerns after all. When the Xitar people from the third dimension invaded Witch Town through the 'Red Barrier' portal, he returned to his hometown and defeated the Xitar King with his friends on the ground and saved the people. city.

He and those friends were later known as the "Seven Victorious Warriors" and were considered allies of the Justice League.

The missionary died in that war and gave up his title to the witch boy before he died. Although he refused at the time, he said that he still liked the life on the ground. He drank and danced every day and was very happy. He didn't like the witch town at all. .

But in fact, he is just a tough talker. He is always paying attention to the situation underground. Whenever there is a conflict between the underground people and the people on the ground, he will indiscriminately take the side of his compatriots, and therefore almost kill people. All offended.

He and Zatanna were old enemies in the past. In fact, the reason was simple. New York wanted to build a new subway. The residents of Witch Town did not want the subway to pass over their heads, so they injured the construction workers and showed the power of magic.

Of course, the Justice League will take care of this matter, but the wizard boy firmly stands on the side of his compatriots, and even goes to the extent of turning against the other members of the Seven Warriors and starting a war with the Justice League.

He defeated several mages such as Zatanna and Raven, and led an army of magicians to defend the city, but in the end he missed a move and was tricked by Zha Kang.

Constantine pretended to mediate as a middleman and got an armistice agreement. Seeing that the conditions were very generous, the wizard signed it without causing any more casualties.

It turned out that it was a devil's contract that had been decorated with blinding techniques. After the illusion dissipated, the witch boy discovered that he had dripped blood on the contract that he agreed to build the subway...

There was no way, it was a contract witnessed by three Satans, the price of disobedience was too high, the witch boy could only knock out his teeth and swallow it.

But ever since he suffered the loss of being mute, he has been having trouble with Zha Kang and Zatanna. No matter what happens, whenever Constantine moves to the left, he moves to the right, and they will confront each other.

It was mainly aimed at Zha Kang, a liar, but Xiao Zha was incidental.

After the couple he thought were bitches broke up, the relationship between the wizard boy and Zatanna became much more harmonious, probably because they both liked to scold scumbags.

Not long ago, the Seven Warriors helped go to the sixth dimension to rescue the Justice League. Su Ming was now curious. He had only been away for more than two months, so why did the witch boy suddenly jump to the other side?
