The Death Knell

The God Killer came to Su Ming with his hat on. He raised his weapon with one hand and took out a lighter with the other.

The magic has not changed the hat. The costume used on the stage is still made of ordinary cloth.

It may be the finest silk produced in Asia, but it's still not fireproof.

The tentacles kept dancing, trying to catch Su Ming, but after setting the hat on fire, he used a weapon to push it away.

Now it looks like grilled octopus.

The top hat was burning, with sparks that continuously sprayed out bright powder, looking like small fireworks, and the tentacles were also ignited, burning like firewood.

Diana and Zatanna both walked up from behind him and watched the flames burning quietly, each with their own thoughts.

"Prometheus stole fire, is that true?"

Su Ming turned to ask Diana while holding up the God Killer bbq. The firelight made his armor look more ferocious.

"This has nothing to do with the gods. The fact that humans have learned to use fire is entirely a gift from nature. Forest fires, volcanic eruptions, thunder and lightning hitting the ground, etc., all have scientific explanations."

Diana crossed her arms and looked at the scene in the theater. When people escaped, many people even ran away with their shoes. And for some reason, there is a pair of pants hanging on the back of the chair in the distance?

Su Ming sighed and watched as the top hat and the monster completely turned into white gray and fell from the weapon: "I actually heard a scientific explanation from the Amazon Queen. What about you, Zatanna, do you have a more magical explanation?"

"Magics believe that fire was originally a symbol of witchcraft, brought by wizards or shamans among primitive humans from hell or gods."

The magician indeed gave a professional explanation, but she seemed to be in a trance now, as if she was still recalling the details of the magic that went out of control, so she just answered the question subconsciously, and her mind was not on it at all.

"Xiao Za, why didn't you pay attention to me after I came back from Crux?" Diana put away her sword and shield and took Zatanna's hand.

"No, it's just that my agent said that I have too many pre-sale tickets and need to arrange performances as soon as possible." Zatanna came back to her senses, but her eyes were a little flustered, and she did not tell the truth.

Su Ming took off his helmet, lit a cigarette with the flames on the ground, and quietly watched the two women communicating. He and Zatanna were not familiar with each other, so there was no need to intervene in the conversation.

But he could tell she was lying.

Maybe Diana didn't have Su Ming's meticulous thinking, but she had the instinctive intuition of a warrior, and she sensed that the female mage was hiding something.

"Together we formed the Justice League Dark to deal with mysterious things. If you find anything, you should call everyone together to discuss it."

Diana persuaded patiently.

Zatanna shook her head: "It's nothing, I just haven't been able to concentrate recently. Okay, I'm going to change clothes, don't follow me."

After saying that, she walked away quickly.

Diana frowned and sighed slowly.

"It seems that there are some problems within your alliance." Su Ming puffed away.

"Yeah... I used to think that the problem would be Constantine or Swamp Monster, or maybe Man-Bat, but I never thought it was Xiaoza."

There was nothing Diana could do, and Zatanna obviously didn't want to say anything more. Although Diana was also a member of the Justice League Dark, she was not a spellcaster, she was just a demigod and warrior.

"What do you want to do next?" Su Ming looked at the theater, which probably needs to be renovated: "Stalk her secretly and use the mantra lasso to make her confess? Or find other mages to inquire?"

"Go find other wizards. There are still a few people I know in the magic community here in Los Angeles."

Diana thought for a while and decided not to force her friends until she figured out what happened in the magical world.

There were too many things about the Justice League recently, one thing after another, and she completely forgot that she still had the task of monitoring the magical world.

"Okay, then I'll go with you." Su Ming threw down the cigarette butt, stamped it out, and put on his helmet again. The magic and divine spells failed, as if he had been disturbed in some way.

Diana pulled up her hood and put away her weapon: "Okay, we've only seen the beginning of the magic show, now it's time to see the magic."

"It's a worthwhile trip. At least there's another kind of monster on the list of monsters I've killed." He followed Diana's footsteps, and the two of them walked out of the theater together.

"If it's really a list, we don't even know its name." Diana smiled. She learned how to complain from Barry, but unfortunately she couldn't help laughing: "Thank you just now, you saved this theater."

Su Ming shook his head. An enemy of this level was nothing at all, perhaps not as good as a tiger or a lion in the zoo.

"No need to thank me, thank the person who invented the lighter."

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

In fact, what just happened made Zatanna decide to teleport to Georgetown, Maryland, where there is an ancient villa called Winters Manor.

Its owner is Baron Winters, a powerful mage who is powerful enough to be arrogant and whose mission is to maintain the balance of the world.

What he pays attention to is not good and evil, but balance and order. He is the most traditional type of mage. That is, matters in the magic world are resolved by the magic world.

The problems of mortals have nothing to do with him.

There was a problem with the magic, and the wizards were aware of it. They were originally scheduled to hold a meeting there tonight to discuss how to solve the problem.

Not only heroes who use magic power, but also villain magic organizations like the Leng Yan Society will attend.

Zatanna didn't plan to go, she felt sick seeing the people in the Cold Flame...until her own problems became more and more serious...until her problems were discovered by Diana.

This is a matter in the magical world, and Zatanna prefers to use magic to solve it. Although Diana has a good relationship with her, Heroine is not a spell caster.

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

Su Ming and Diana didn't know about this. It was news circulating in the magic world and was passed among mages through familiars or communication magic.

Now the two warriors can only visit the people Diana knows one by one, or spellcasters such as goblins or bugs...

Unfortunately, the first one encountered some difficulties.

"Dong dong dong..."

The two of them knocked on the door of a house in the suburbs. It was a temporary cabin that looked like a lumberjack or hunter's residence. Not to mention it was very simple and full of cobwebs and dust.

In the surrounding forest, the trees all grew in strange shapes, looking like ghosts in the night. In addition, in the dark shadows of the woods, some green eyes appeared from time to time, which made it even more strange.

Su Ming sighed: "Let's break down the door. I've read the story of the cabin in the woods many times."

"Uh, what is that?" Diana took off her hood and looked at Su Ming with a puzzled face: "We are visiting, and I think it's better to be polite. There are always traps in a magician's home. "

Su Ming shook his magic floating cloak, and it lightly rubbed Su Ming's mask, indicating that any magic trap would tickle it.

"First of all, the time now is 10 o'clock at night, there is only a bat-shaped moon above our heads, and there is no light in this hut; secondly, the footprints at the door are only those who entered the house, but did not come out; finally, I smell something The smell is not very good. The analysis results of my eyepiece prove that it is ammonia produced by the decomposition of proteins. Are you really sure you don’t need me to dismantle the door and take a look?”
