The Death Knell

The light from upstairs behind the two people suddenly became brighter and darker, the building made a creaking sound, and the temperature of the air dropped rapidly. In just the blink of an eye, I felt breathless when I spoke.

Some huge wine barrels next to them began to shake and move on the ground, making harsh noises.

But Su Ming was very calm. He just watched these performances and said to the witch:

"I'm not very good at dealing with ghosts, and I'm just average at dealing with souls. After all, the black light ring still prefers the tangible undead. What about you?"

"If I want, I can let the souls of Louis XVI and Queen Mary fight a divorce lawsuit in the Kingdom of Dreams, and both parties want to hire me as their attorney. Do you think I can do it?"

Alberta smoothed her short hair coolly, put away the wine bottle and lit a cigarette, but instead of smoking, she held the paper roll with both hands, folded it in half again with four fingers, and began to chant curse.

Normally, she didn't need to recite a spell when casting a spell, but since this was another world and she wanted to talk to this ghost, she chose a more polite and gentle method.

The crushed cigarette burned violently in her hands, spraying out dense sparks like fireworks. She put her hands together, put them in front of her mouth and blew hard, and the burning powder fluttered to the ground, automatically forming a The magic circle, which is not that complicated, surrounds the wellhead.

"Huh, it's okay. This universe at least has the concept of hell. My magic power has even become a little stronger. This is a dimensional binding spell. It is usually used to bind demons summoned to the main dimension, but it can also be used to bind demons summoned to the main dimension. Catching ghosts.”

She took a step back and signaled Deathstroke to ask the ghost who was about to appear. Although the latter obviously did not have a brain for the symbiote to read, questioning might still yield information.

It depends on how long the ghost in the well has been dead and how many things he knows.

"I know this magic circle. Constantine used it before, but his magic material was the blood of his dead friend." Su Ming walked to the well and ordered the strangulator to lift the lid of the well.

"Although I learned my magic from that bitch's video tape, obviously I have a more environmentally friendly way. I don't have to trick a friend to death every time I cast a spell." Alberta smiled and shook her head, and she said no more. , just found a pillar to lean on, and started drinking again.

Her alcohol addiction and drinking capacity are also second to none, much stronger than Constantine.

As the black tentacles lifted the manhole cover, a puff of black smoke spurted out from under the well. The disembodied smoke was trying to rush towards the death knell, but the magic circle on the ground suddenly lit up, and it seemed as if it had hit an invisible body. Like the wall, there was a scream.

The cry was so miserable that Diana immediately rushed down from the stairs, preparing to fight the enemy with Deathstroke.

However, the pain seemed to be very intimidating to the spirit body. It did not even try to escape again. Instead, it hovered above the well mouth for several times and gradually solidified.

"Hello, do you speak English? How about we negotiate terms? Answer me a few questions, and then I'll let you out."

Seeing this scene, Su Ming offered to make a deal.

The figure formed by the black cloud swayed a few times, followed by a period of silence. A moment later, just when people thought it didn't understand English or didn't intend to cooperate at all, it suddenly spoke:

"Slade, it's me."

Su Ming tilted his mouth. The male voice was obviously Arthur, the King of the Sea. Although the pronunciation principle of the other party was unclear, the sound was correct, so Deathstroke sighed and said:

"Do you know you're dead?"

"Ah, that's about it. It's a pity that Batman's plan failed again. He said that as long as you keep trying and making mistakes, you can keep giving new hints. I listened in a daze at the time. Alas, every time I can’t understand even in meetings, and I’m already used to it, uh, Hi, Diana, you’re here too.”

Diana bit her lip, unable to connect the dark smoke in front of her eyes with Neptune's always smiling face. She asked Deathstroke with her eyes if she should release the person first to see if he could be saved?

But Su Ming just shook his head slightly.

Putting aside the question of whether this guy is genuine or not, even if he is genuine, he is no longer a human being.

Besides, the timeline is about to restart, so saving people is purely unnecessary.

So Deathstroke just asked: "How did you get into the well? Where were the other people in your team?"

The black cloud gradually condensed into Arthur's appearance, but he still looked like a djinn from the waist down, just smoke. He covered his head and recalled for a while before replying:

"Hawkeye suggested using her N-metal wings and the characteristics of reincarnation to fight Darkseid. Batman made a plan that I couldn't understand to try, but the situation soon became out of control. The whole world They are all filled with ghosts and undead. Not only did we fail to defeat Darkseid, but we created another enemy that cannot be eliminated and is attached to darkness."

"Now I kind of hope that the person in the well is Ron." At some point, Bobo came down from upstairs and rode Damian. He probably listened for a while and said helplessly: "If it's him The ghost can at least explain clearly what happened in the past and Batman's plan."

"Hey, I don't want to either, okay?"

Arthur's soul began to roll his eyes, looking aggrieved:

"Batman asked me to hide in the sea and wait for his contact, but how did I know that he didn't come to me until he died? Also, let alone Ron, it was his Martian genes that were used by Darkseid. There are so many monsters...wait, why am I in a well? It used to be the sea. By the way, have you seen those monsters outside? They are afraid of light."

He may have been silent for too long and has become a bit chatty now.

"Isn't the past where you are tens of millions of years ago? Even the sea has turned into underground water veins." Su Ming sighed and waved his hand casually: "As for the monster's weaknesses, it goes without saying. Just contact Batman and tell him about the new development and that his second plan won't work. Don't think about reincarnation."

"Uh... I still don't understand. What you said to Batman is too profound. It happens at this time and then at that time. I can't understand any of them. Can you explain it to me when you have time? Really? I found that being a ghost is pretty good, now I have a lot of time."

"Sorry, Arthur, we are in a hurry." Diana smiled sheepishly, and then comforted her friend and said, "Now we have to tell Batman at that time about the results of this failed experiment. , let him change his approach and eliminate the impact, so that you don’t have to be trapped in the sea and starve to death.”

"Yes, now that I think about it, I starved to death. There is nothing to eat in this dark sea!" Arthur's ghost hammered his fist, and he remembered, and said with a little regret: "If I had known I would have Now that I'm on your team, Batman doesn't care about food..."

Su Ming also smiled at the ghost, then raised his hand and tapped his ear:

"Adjutant, inform Batman in three minutes that the second plan will not work. The words on Hawkgirl's N metal wings are the activation codes of the Origin Wall, which symbolizes the cycle of the 'circle'. It is not a good way to fight against the end. Hurry up and change your plan, and remember to find some food for your teammates this time."
