I'm going to have a fight with Superman

Chapter 956 The Crazy Penguin

"I thought that when facing you, Nick would lie. Most of what he said was true. He colluded with the people of the Lengyan Holy See to frame Constantine, but he saw through the trick and fell into the sacrifice he drew instead. Magic circle, and then."

In the morning, in the yoga room of the Quinn Manor, Halle lay on the blanket by the French window, twisted her body into an unimaginable position, and remained still for a long time.

Zatana sat on the fitness equipment next to her, her complexion was a little pale, her hair was a little messy and greasy, there was a faint black shadow around her eyes, and she looked like she didn't have enough sleep.

However, it is already ten o'clock in the morning, as long as you go to bed on time, you won't lack sleep.

The way it is now can only show that this magic chick went happy all night last night.

Of course, judging by her expression, she probably won't be happy.

"It's the most stupid thing to lie when you ask me for help, Nick is just not stupid." Harry said evenly.

"You helped him?" Zatanna asked expectantly.

"You want me to help him? What if he returns to the world and attacks you and Constantine again?" Harry asked.

"This..." Zatana's expression changed, "I hope he won't suffer such misfortune, but I don't feel sorry for him either.

Some of the details, he certainly did not tell you. "

"That's why I'm looking for you." Harry asked curiously.

"His character" paused, Zatanna said: "Do you understand his experience?

His original name was not the somewhat odd 'Nick Niccolo', but Nicholas Edgar Nolan. "

Nick Niccolo, Nick Niccolo, is indeed a bit strange, very similar to Zatanna Zatara.

At first, Harry thought it was a coincidence, but now it seems that this couple is throwing dog food.

"His father was a plumber in Brooklyn, his mother was a weaver, and he came from a very humble background. I say this without looking down on his family.

But I want to say that he can rise from such an ordinary family and become famous in the magic world in his youth, which is not something ordinary people can do. "

Compared with Zha Kang and Zatana, it is really not easy for Nick to occupy the top position of "Youth Generation No.1" at the same age.

Not to mention Zatanna, Da Vinci's descendants, like Shangdu, have the blood of ancient ancestors, and the family has been a mage for generations.

Zhakang's Constantine family has no less background than Zatara.

His ancestors were even friends with Morpheus the Sandman.

"You mean Nick is ambitious?" Harry asked.

"Perhaps to put it mildly - he was highly motivated, driven, with a strong hunger for fame, power and knowledge.

But recently... I think he's been stimulated by you. Zatana glanced at her with a complicated expression.

"I don't take this pot."

"I'm not blaming you, you put a lot of pressure on our peers. Back then, we met for the first time." Zatana was stunned, thinking of the past, she couldn't help but recall her father.

"Even though I was not as strong as you when we met for the first time, I had already shown my talents at that time, and even my Lich teacher praised me for my talent."

Harry also thought of the unlucky lich who longed for the magic power of the little black bean all his life, but was overwhelmed by the magic power of the little black bean.

She had to admit that when Zatana first appeared on the stage, the power of thunder and lightning raged across the audience, like a god who destroyed the world. It was indeed amazing, and even made her a little ashamed - she didn't even have magic power at the time.

But, less than half a year after first meeting Zatana, she cheated Lucifer three times.

From then on, she was the brightest star in the multiverse.

"In the past, Nick often took me and John to the Tower of Destiny to accept the tasks of the Wizard Council - conquer evil mages who do all kinds of evil, deal with cross-boundary magical creatures, and even blocked the invasion of substances several times without the people on Earth knowing. world of evil spirits.

At that time, he was our leader, our mentor and big brother.

But then he changed, the stronger you are, the more he is addicted to the pursuit of magic power.

He even began to study the evil magic that he had never touched before, and often locked himself in the room to search for the so-called 'ultimate knowledge'.

That is the Book of Magic.

His extreme longing for it engulfed his reason and nature, and he was immersed in his own obsession, even forgetting the reality of life.

We no longer have Saturday night events, nor do we take on quests to guard the physical world.

Me and John came together. "

Seeing Zatanna's little resentful expression, Harry didn't know what to say.

The essence of this matter is that the husband has to be busy with his career, the wife has no one to accompany him, and then the old John next door takes advantage of it.

The husband was raped, but he was so angry that he wanted to kill, but his strength was not enough, and he was killed
Although Harry didn't say anything, the expression on his face was quite obvious. Zatanna was not stupid, so she understood immediately.

"Harry, do you think John is the one who caused this incident because I slept with John? No, he doesn't care that I sleep with someone else. I think he cares more about Constantine.

Didn't I say nothing when I saw them together?
Of course, it is also possible that he felt that he had gained me and John at the same time before, but now he lost both of us at the same time. His mentality was out of balance and he was going to extremes. " she said seriously.

Harry's expression was contorted, and his body was so distorted that he could no longer maintain his original posture, and threw himself on the carpet.

"I really can't express the relationship between the three of you."

She was convinced, but also discouraged, she still didn't have enough realm!
"No matter how dissatisfied he is in his heart, he can at least say it to us in person, instead of being calm in person, but colluding with the Holy See of Lengyan secretly.

You know he set me and John up, but do you know how he did it? "

Zatana's tone became agitated, "He pretended not to care about my relationship with John, and continued to maintain the friendship and harmony of the threesome in the past.

One day, John and I received an alarm from him—he was being besieged by the Holy See of Cold Flame, and we rushed to the rescue without hesitation.

When John and I arrived, we saw him being pinned to the ground by a Holy See mage with a magic dagger around his neck.

If John and I dared to resist, we would immediately cut Nick's neck—so the Holy See mage said at the time.

My heart was in a mess and I let them be tied up obediently, as did John.

Of course, he was smarter than me, and quietly squeezed the lighter into his fist.

Seeing that we were subdued, Nick stood up with a smirk on his face. He looked at me viciously. Well, he didn't look at me, just stared at John.

He drew the magic circle with his own hands and threw John into it."

Zatanna looked at Harry and asked, "Is this something people do?"

Harley shook her head, "It's not as good as a beast to take advantage of the concern of a friend who sacrificed his life."

"The sacrificial circle has been activated. If John doesn't fight back, he will have to go to hell by himself. He threw Nick into it with his backhand. What's the problem?"

Halle shook her head again, "Great job, no problem at all."

Zatana was neither comforted nor relieved, she just covered her face and wept silently.

Two days later, Zatanna took the initiative to call Harry, her tone a little excited.

"Harry, Bertman came to me, and he encouraged me to start over. The Justice League has always been in short supply of heroes on the magic side, and he formally extended an invitation to Constantine and me.

I didn't say no, and starting tomorrow, I'll be a glorious Justice League hero, and I'll be on watchtower duty. "

"Well, it's great that you can get out of the shadows and get back on your feet again. But, it's only been a few days, how did Baiteman know about your shit? He shouldn't be staring at you all the time, right?" Harry seemed suspicious , actually a reminder.

"Why do you say that? What's the problem with joining Zhenglian?" Zatanna asked strangely.

Harry hesitated and said: "I personally think that magicians are not suitable to mix with heroes of Zhenglian.

Their use of power is profligate and unrestrained, but mages should remain rational and always consider the cost of magic. "

Zatanna was silent.

Halle sighed, "You decide. Good luck anyway."

Later Zatanna actually joined the Justice League.

The ceremony was quite grand, and many mainstream media also reported on it.

But no news of Constantine.

The guy seemed to have been hit a bit hard, and he went back to London to shut himself up.

Five nights later, Louise and Lana Lang finally finished post-production on the Paradise Counter-Insurgency documentary.

Before officially logging into the media channel, it has to be checked by Harley. It's not for Harry, but mainly for the voice of heaven.

Harley was flipping through the documentary manuscript with her tablet in her arms, when a piece of Gotham local news on the TV shocked her.

"What? The Penguin challenged Batman?"

Selena raised her chin slightly, and said with a little pride: "The challenge is over. This afternoon, Penguin deliberately sent his younger brother to rob the bank. He brought people to ambush nearby, and even prepared eight snipers, but they were killed by Baiteman and Luo. Bin caught in one catch.

Hehehe, this guy has secretly ruled Gotham's underground world for more than ten years, and now he is finally out of luck. "

"It's not right, it's unreasonable." Harley put down the tablet and carefully observed the penguin who was sent to the police station struggling and screaming on the TV screen, feeling suspicious in his heart.

The person is still the same person, only with the cry that sounds like crying and laughing, others can't pretend to be able to do it, but...
"What's unreasonable? Penguin's methods may be ingenious and ruthless, but who is Baiteman? With his alertness, how could he be ambushed by ordinary people?" Selina said disapprovingly.

Harley took out her mobile phone, hesitated for a moment between Director Harvey Bullock and "God's Advocate Gordon", and finally chose Gordon.

Recently, Gordon has been working very seriously. In two months, he has rescued at least eight victims of evil spirit transformation.

The concept of "God exorcising magic" has been implemented, and she should find an opportunity to get close to him.

"Gordon, Penguin has been captured, you know that?"

"This matter has caused a lot of trouble in the city, and it can't be easily solved." Gordon said seriously.

"If you really want to find someone, I'll come to you?" Harry felt a little disappointed. Gordon said that, which meant that he didn't see anything unusual about the penguin.

"Is it convenient for you to see him now? Find a chance to meet him alone and see him. Mainly his brain, whether he has been tampered with."

"What trick?" Gordon asked strangely.

Harry said affirmatively: "Penguin will never attack Baiteman, he will only try to avoid him instead of provoking him."

"Why?" Gordon asked in surprise.

Harry sighed: "Bateman has been out for several years, Penguin has never been in prison, why?
He was very good at controlling his proportions, and he never let Baiteman catch him, let alone get angry with him on purpose.

Such an obvious fact, you have worked in the crime team for almost 20 years, you are an old detective, and you are still a friend of Coppert, why didn't you find out? "
