I just want to live a peaceful life in DC world

Chapter 222 Rashomon

"Is the information correct? Veronica Kyle's private helicopter threw someone into the sky above the Bwanda-Banakan rainforest."

On the outside of the rainforest, inside a temporary military facility of the Mold Army.The sexy Laurel, Helena and Zatanna looked out of place among the soldiers.

But even the bad guys, who are famous for their bad discipline, no one dares to whistle and play hooligans at them. After all, everyone knows the appearance of the current commander-in-chief of the Justice League.

"What do you think, Huntress, what are they here for?"

"I don't know, maybe Veronica Kyle is being threatened, or maybe they are plotting something dangerous. But there is no doubt that the murderer who injured Supergirl is in this rainforest, Black Canary .Ah sorry, I forgot—"

"It's okay, Huntress. I will take back the title of Black Canary temporarily today. Now I belong to private operations, not Dinah Laurel Lance, the commander-in-chief of the Justice League."

Black Canary smiled slyly, causing the soldiers of the bad country next to him to lose their minds.Black Canary's pretty appearance with no signs of age makes it hard to imagine that she is in her 30s and a mother.

And the third member of the new Birds of Prey squad, Zatana Zaatara in a tuxedo and black grid tights, stands in the doorway, gazing at a tarot card in her hand.

Black Canary noticed her strangeness, walked to her side and asked softly.

"What happened, is there something wrong with this rainforest?"

"It's too easy to describe it as wrong. I feel that there is a very dangerous twisted ancient divine power inside, and it is lurking to hide itself-if it didn't just come here this time, it would be impossible to detect from the outside."

Hearing Zatanna's words, Black Canary's face immediately became serious. She knew very well that the girl in front of her was not a magician who could only use tricks, but one of the most powerful magicians in the world. one.

She would give such a warning that it was no small matter.

"I think this may not be as simple as finding justice for Kara, Black Canary. I suggest that all superheroes be called here, and we will make plans after we analyze what kind of power is buried here."

Black Canary frowned slightly, she lowered her head and thought for a moment, then shook her head gently.

"Now all the superheroes are busy dealing with the problem of their cities being invaded by Apocalypse demons, and they cannot be summoned just because there are no signs. And according to what you said, the so-called ancient divine power here has been hidden for a long time, Under normal circumstances, it would not be a problem at this time, would it?"

Zatanna hesitated for a moment, then sighed softly.

"It's true. There are many ancient and mysterious relics buried like this on the earth. But generally speaking, many of them are just sleeping. Maybe it's just me being paranoid—"

"Welcome to Bwanda, ladies of the Justice League. Sorry for the poor hospitality, it's just backwoods after all."

At this moment, a tall man with an unshaven beard and a haggard face appeared in front of the Birds of Prey, and the other soldiers of the Mildew Army immediately stood up and saluted after seeing him.

After Black Canary looked at the other party for a moment, he showed a surprised expression.

"You're. Steve? Steve Trevor? You're in a place like this?"

The man called Steve smiled wryly, then reached out to Black Canary.

"We met many years ago, Miss Black Canary. At that time, Diana was still in the Justice League, and I was also a member of the Justice League meeting as the transhuman coordinator of the country-until I screwed up everything and was exiled to a place like this."

Black Canary shook Steve's hand back, but his eyes were still full of disbelief.

"I thought you were dead after the Paradise Island incident."

"Dead, isn't it? But it's about the same. For the government of the United States, the one who broke the friendship with Paradise Island and caused Wonder Woman to leave the alliance is the biggest stain. They don't allow me to appear in public again." before."

"So I came to this kind of place, fighting to, uh, liberate people from evil warlords and bring them universal values ​​of freedom."

The vicissitudes of life on Steve's face showed bitterness, while the huntress at the side walked up to Black Canary and stared at him thoughtfully.

"But no matter what, you used to be the commander-in-chief of the Sky Eye Society, and once became the acting minister of the Ministry of Defense. If someone like you was sent here just to maintain law and order, would it be a bit overkill?"

Steve's sunken eyes narrowed slightly, and after staring at the huntress for a while, he turned around and walked towards a helicopter parked in the barracks.

"You guessed it right, I do have a special mission here, but before that, there are some things I want to show you, maybe related to your goals here."

The three of the Birds of Prey glanced at each other, and then followed closely behind Steve.

"Did this...was that guy who landed on Veronica's helicopter?"

In the jungle, Black Canary covered her mouth and nose. The smell of decaying corpses and blood under the high temperature and humidity made her feel very uncomfortable even though she had experienced many battles.

What shocked her even more was the scene around her that looked like a picture scroll of hell.

"One of them had a broken sternum, and his heart and lungs were kicked out. The others all died by cutting their necks with a sharp weapon. Judging from the degree of decay, they probably died at the same time."

Helena, the huntress from Gotham, was undoubtedly more comfortable with this scene. She inspected the wounds on each of these corpses, and quickly came to a conclusion.

Zatanna frowned and looked away. For her, this scene was a bit too exciting, not just because it was a corpse, but for other reasons.

"Why aren't they wearing any clothes, and from the looks of it, they seem to be."

"That's right, they are all from the country. They are brave soldiers under my command. They left their hometowns for the benefit of the country and to spread the light of freedom and civilization, but they didn't expect to die here in such a humiliating way."

Steve said in a sad voice, his eyes full of guilt looking at these corpses.

Black Canary frowned, and murmured in a puzzled voice.

"But why did he suddenly kill, and is there any benefit in humiliating his compatriots like this?"

Steve took a deep breath and turned to look at the three of the Birds of Prey.

"It seems that it is not the time to hide from everyone. I hope to get your help, because the enemy we have been fighting seems to have a new accomplice."

Zatana seemed to think of something, and stared at Steve with wide eyes in surprise.

"Could it be that this is not just murder, but also an evil sacrificial ritual?"

"Yes."

Steve's face was as dark as ink, and he said every word.

"Ozkartaga, and his cursed bride Leopard, are the evil forces we have always wanted to fight!"
