The Death Knell

Speaking of the Star Staff, it can be said to be the pinnacle of human engineering. It is a cosmic wonder created by the first-generation Star Man using common materials in human society, such as steel and gold, combined with some astronomical skills. things.

Yes, it's not physics, but astronomy. No one can understand its specific operating principles, and even its birth seems like an accident.

Because the energy used is gravitational waves and the resonance between stars, in addition to being unable to be mass-produced, its capabilities in all aspects surpass the Lantern Ring. Even the 'Deng Jie' that Hal later built for himself is far behind. Nothing compares to it.

It can continuously and automatically gather cosmic energy, store and release it in the form of starlight, and has a series of abilities such as flying, applying shields, and moving objects through the air.

And in battle, it can fully automatically track the enemy and fire, and can even be completely hands-off like a floating cannon, achieving the effect of one plus one being greater than two.

It doesn't sound very special, but when it can shoot Superman away with one light cannon, and the light cannon can fire continuously at high speed like Gatling, its value is reflected.

But about it, everyone's general opinion is that it is too advanced and should not even be something made by humans. This kind of advancement beyond cognition will bring some kind of curse to the holder.

The Star Staff was used by Star Man in the past, and among the 12 generations of Star Man, except for the third generation Star Man who retreated bravely and gave up the Star Staff to become the Midnight Doctor, all the other eleven died unexpectedly.

If you want to say this is not a curse, what is it? A group of people from the Justice Society went out to do a mission, but no one died. Every time it was the Star Man who died at the time, this cannot be explained by common sense.

And long-term use of it will also face risks. In the past, its holders would initially show nervousness, such as blinking at a high speed or having an itchy scalp, and then gradually developed to talking to themselves, and finally suffered from schizophrenia and schizophrenia. Various other psychotic symptoms, and finally death in madness.

On the contrary, the Star Chaser girl currently holds the Star Staff. Three years later, she is still the innocent and cute high school girl who shows no signs of mental damage.

The Midnight Strange Doctor has conducted some research on the Star Staff and has not found much. However, from the perspective of science and modern medicine, he believes that the reason why Star Heroes in the past have gone crazy is that ordinary people’s bodies cannot withstand the various radiations brought by the energy of the universe. They may not be severe enough to cause mutations in the human body, but they are still very dangerous if they affect people's brain waves and nervous system.

Even he himself was affected, manifested in the obsessive-compulsive disorder that he couldn't help but go out to treat people at midnight.

Connie is a special case. The Star Staff seems to spontaneously protect her from these effects. Exactly how it was done, I'm afraid even the first-generation Star Man who created it can't explain, because he is also dead.

"Then I don't want the red tornado, I want to watch it with the whirlwind!" The star staff sprayed out some mist-like starlight again. It was bargaining. It was obvious that it did not like the old grandmother, but wanted to choose her young and beautiful granddaughter.

Henschel is indeed old and fat, but she is still the canteen goddess of the old heroes of the Justice Society. After all, everyone is in their seventies or eighties, and they are no longer the age to respect appearance, so what else can be better than cooking well? More attractive?

It's a pity that Star Staff doesn't need to eat, it just likes young girls.

And because in the underground headquarters of the Justice Society, retired old heroes always still wear uniforms and act like their young characters. What is Red Tornado's uniform? She just held a soup pot on her head.

It also makes her look weird while cooking.

"Okay, I'll watch the online version with you, but how many episodes have you seen? Don't hold me back."

Xuanfeng smiled and agreed. She said it was not a big problem. As a happy girl who does whatever she wants, she has no job at all, a house or a car, and has plenty of time to engage in various leisure activities.

She joined the Justice Society, to put it bluntly, just to keep her grandmother company. Although her fighting ability is not bad, she can control the wind and rain and can also control thunder and lightning.

But there are super warriors like Wonder Girl in the team, experienced veterans like Jie Yin, and the strongest doctors in the multiverse like Midnight Doctor, so why should I take the lead?

The Star Staff did not continue the conversation. It was obvious that it was very confident in the progress of its drama. It just followed its master's order and began to scan the bloody poems on the ground and recall all the timelines it had seen.

It has the advantage of having many previous owners. It has seen a lot with them, and its memory is much better than Jie Yin's.

So the group of people watched the long golden stick flying up and down in the air, shuttling between invisible lines like a sweater sign. After about tens of seconds, it emitted a ray of light, which illuminated the words in the poem. One word is highlighted in particular.

It's not the mysterious XXXX that everyone expected, but the word in the sentence after it - Jin Shena.

"Ah, a little disappointed. We thought it could translate the invisible XXXX into a form that everyone can understand." Karen shook her head. She had no impression of the strange words that were marked, but this probably meant Yet another mystery.

She suffered from severe memory loss. The moment she woke up and opened her eyes, she was already in a smoking crashed space capsule. The only thing she remembered was to find her cousin Clark.

Before, she only had some scattered fragments of other memories of the Earth and Krypton. It could be said that her past was a mystery.

And this made her hate guessing the most.

The star staff flew back into Connie's hand, as if it had lost its life and turned back into a dead object. It had no intention of arguing with other teammates, but in the blood flowing on the ground, the word was still captured by the starlight. Shrouded, as if fixed there.

"I don't know why it is marked with this word." She touched her long stick, breathed towards the position in her hand, and wiped the fingerprints on it lovingly: "But I believe in the universe, it should It is known that the word has other meanings, but it may be too troublesome to explain, so it cannot be described to us.”

The Star Rod has no language function, but it can emit a beeping sound similar to a low-frequency electrical signal. But if you want to rely on this to output Morse code and communicate with humans, you might as well use cosmic energy.

But as mentioned before, it is not good for ordinary people to inhale too much cosmic energy in the form of starlight, and they will try to avoid this.

Like most toxic substances, when a small amount of starlight energy is initially inhaled, people will feel excited and excited, their combat effectiveness will be greatly improved, they will feel that they are capable of anything, and their confidence will be overwhelming;

But once it exceeds a certain limit, all kinds of negative effects will emerge, and people will become crazy. All they can think about is flying into the sky and walking side by side with the stars.

As we all know, the stars in the sky are actually stars in the distance. When you get closer, they are just a ball of plasma, which does not match the cognitive appearance of stars. So if you get sick, it's like searching for the ideal star, and then never finding it.

Then I was driven crazy by the frustration of not getting what I wanted.

It's okay to write a few words with starlight to communicate with everyone, but forget about long speeches. Even if others are not afraid of going crazy, its dear owner is also present.
