The Death Knell

As a butler-type character in the Dark Alliance, Man-Bat vacated a small warehouse, put a bed in it, and placed Zatanna there.

The room was not big, there were no windows, and there were no lights, only candles for lighting.

Abby has dispelled the corrosion from Zatanna's body, and eventually the machines repaired most of her organ damage, but she hasn't woken up yet.

When Su Ming and Green Arrow arrived, Diana and Zha Kang were all huddled in the small room to discuss the next treatment plan, because Abby believed that Xiao Zha had fallen into an unknown nightmare and she refused to wake up.

Diana couldn't help much, she was just scolding Zha Kang for hurting Xiao Zha's heart, while Constantine looked calm and put his left ear in and the right ear out. He was setting up a huge magic circle around the crib.

"Man-Bat, how is she doing?"

Su Ming came to the door and greeted the first human bat that noticed him. It must be said that bats have very keen senses.

"As you can see, Deathstroke, she can't wake up, but her cerebral cortex activity is astonishingly high." Man-Bat holds a tablet in one hand and a magic book in the other. He seems to be a bit of a dual practitioner, but his face is now full of Sad face, obviously helpless.

"You guys keep working hard, I can't help with this matter, Dai, come out for a moment, I have something to tell you." Su Ming patted Green Arrow's back, indicating that that was it for the time being, and then he turned around and left, drifting to Wonder Woman is waiting in front of the warehouse.

Diana was also at a loss for words to accuse Zha Kang. Shameless people are really invincible. He felt that he had entered the corrupt heart to pursue his dreams. It was none of his business that Xiao Zha was attacked outside.

This made Diana very angry. She still wanted to reconcile with Xiao Zha? go to hell.

But Deathstroke called her, so she glared at Zha Kang and left first. When she walked out of the small room, she saw Deathstroke waving in front of the warehouse door not far away.

The treasure house door has not been repaired yet, and it is not easy to recast magic metal. At this time, those dangerous magic items are exposed to the environment. Walking to this door is terrifying.

"What's wrong? I was going to tie up John and make him tell the truth. Now he is setting up a demonic circle, saying he wants to summon the spirit of Xiao Zha? She is not dead, so what kind of spirit can she summon?"

She was obviously still angry, and kept looking behind her while talking to Deathstroke.

"Neither you nor I are professional sorcerers. Don't tell me that you have lived in an environment full of magic since you were a child and killed monsters at a young age." Seeing that she still wanted to distinguish, Su Ming quickly waved his hand and hugged her. Yao walked into the secret vault and looked at the powerful sacred artifacts from the past to the present: "Constantine may trick any of us to death, but he will not trick Zatanna. You don't need to worry about this."

"Do you know something that I don't know?" Diana slowly expelled the air from her lungs, and her hanging curly hair was gently blown up. She raised her hand and stroked it: "No matter how I look at that magic circle, I am confused. Like human sacrifice, he used mummified gorilla claws as utensils.”

Su Ming took her past the magic props, which were arranged on both sides of the narrow aisle and placed in glass cabinets containing N metal.

Even so, this barrier can block their energy from leaking out, but it cannot block their glow. The colorful light makes this place look like a disco.

"Giovanni Zatara asked Constantine to take care of his daughter before he died. This was the condition for the Archmage to sacrifice for the world, and that scumbag agreed seriously. Constantine promised to take care of the living. He may not be able to do it, but he will always try his best to do what he promised to the deceased."

Diana thought in silence for a while, her eyes drifting over several familiar magic weapons, then she took a breath and nodded: "Okay, since you said so, I don't care how he operates it. By the way, What do you intend to do by asking me to come to this deserted place? It’s not very convenient now, you know.”

She blushed and looked behind her secretly, obviously misunderstanding Deathstroke's plan.

"I need to ask you about the Witch's Hour, my dear." Su Ming pinched her nose and wordlessly took out the black diamond from her pocket: "You said that once during the Witching Month, Circe came from The last markings have been stripped away from your body, but I have seen Black Diamond and the situation has obviously changed."

This black crystal is like a mirror. Circe is sitting cross-legged inside, holding the witchcraft moon in her hand, just like when she was sealed.

The only difference was that the silver light was much dimmed.

"When Harley said you were missing, I checked it immediately." Su Ming tilted his head and asked Diana to look at the black diamond for herself: "Energy will not dissipate out of thin air, it will only change form or be transferred through unknown methods. , I thought you would take the initiative to tell me about this."

Wonder Woman twisted her mouth and looked at her toes guiltily. The cute little Doudou curled up: "I haven't thought about it yet. Compared with Xiao Zha's problem, this is just a trivial matter."

"It's not a trivial matter. Take off your starlight crown and let me see." Su Ming grabbed her lasso and threatened: "Hurry up, I will tie you up if you don't obey."

Diana rolled her eyes and simply raised her hand to take off the headband on her forehead.

Sure enough, just as Deathstroke expected, the spot on her forehead that had disappeared a month ago was now glowing with a faint purple light.

Although these lights do not yet constitute the symbol of March, they already have a vague shadow of the past, which shows that after Circe was sealed, the power of witchcraft is being transferred independently.

Through a path that perhaps only a sorcerer can understand, it is indeed flowing back to its former host at an extremely slow speed. Even though the death knell has traveled to several other worlds during this period, the world barrier still cannot stop this original host. Penetration of power from beyond the walls of origin.

It's like water flowing downwards. There is a river here in Diana, and the power of witchcraft is flowing back.

After Su Ming saw this situation with his own eyes, he realized why the Upside Down Man hadn't taken action against Diana yet. It was probably because the time hadn't arrived yet and the fruit hadn't matured yet.

"This can't continue like this. I have to send you to Sepurk and let the Sky Council gather to study your problem. Unless the return flow of witchcraft energy is completely cut off, you will always be regarded as prey by the Upside Down."

There were no side effects after Hecate took away the seals from Black Orchid and the others, but there was no problem with using the black diamond seal to exploit the loopholes?

This is the point of the research.

Diana took back the ring, her head shook, and her hands firmly grasped her boyfriend's hands: "I don't, now the Justice League needs me, and the Dark Justice League."

"Duang!!!"

With a loud noise, Diana, who had not yet finished speaking, slowly fell into the arms of Deathstroke, revealing the strangulating tentacle behind her and the golden pan wrapped around it.

"Do you think you can be disobedient by grabbing my hand? Haha." He kissed her hair, and then helped her rub the bag on the back of her head: "This is also for your own good, you can only 'accept' this One option, Her Majesty.”
