American comics: Enlightenment in Arkham, Ascension to Homelander.

Chapter 115 Ah, Xiao Zha~

As time passed, Gotham gradually fell into the deep night, and Downton was sleeping soundly in Selina's arms.

While he was enjoying his sleep, Bruce in the laboratory endured nearly forty hours of sleeplessness, searching with red eyes for all kinds of information that might prove the connection between Downton and the mysterious woman.

The same thing happens to Bruce as well as his butler. Even though the two of them are far apart, Alfu still integrates the system for Bruce to monitor the entire city.

At this point, Ah Fu believes that he can perfect the prototype of this system in just one night.

Look, even the good guys are working so hard, so the villains certainly can’t miss the deep darkness, so Oswald sent people to the streets overnight and invited nearly three hundred desperate homeless people.

As for Victor, after he finished the operation and barely hung his arm, he was the first to come to the office, but he didn't even see Donton's butt.

Even though he was ruthlessly forgotten by his boss, Victor still called his loyal subordinates and equipped them with self-destruct devices one by one.

After confirming that the enemy had crossed over to the mythical stage, the madness in Victor and his men's bones was fully revealed.

Gotham has never been a city that bullies the weak and fears the strong. Even though it is rotten to the core, it is precisely because of that rottenness that it has given rise to madness and hysteria that has no fear of the gods.

Since I can't defeat a goddess like Diana while I'm alive, and I have to be tied up with inexplicable ropes and forced to tell the truth.

Then Victor and his group of lunatics wouldn't mind giving Diana a little shock of death.

After all, in Victor's opinion, if they, a group of mortals, cannot shock the gods with a quick and clean death, they can only make the gods laugh at them with their ugly lives.

What's the saying?

Who in Gotham isn't a clown?

While the night was preparing for battle, Diana packed her luggage and boarded a plane to New York.

……

Three hours later, Diana walked out of the airport and followed the crowd into a taxi.

"To the Oblivion Bar."

"No problem, miss."

After a brief conversation, Diana arrived at the door of the Forgotten Bar as she wished.

The moment she got off the car, several eyes were fixed on her.

Especially a customer who was about to enter the bar. He had clearly stepped into the bar, but when he saw Diana clearly, he actually backed out and walked away.

At the same time, the gatekeeper was leaning against the wall, smoking leisurely.

But after she saw Diana clearly, she instinctively put out the cigarette, then picked up the walkie-talkie and spoke.

"Is there anything wrong in the store?"

"It's okay, why are you asking?"

There was applause from several people and someone talking over the intercom, and the gatekeeper responded to the guy who was talking.

"I'm fine too, I just saw an interesting guest."

With that, the woman moved away from the wall and then nodded to Diana.

Seeing this, Diana smiled and asked.

"Is there a performance by the Zatara Magic Troupe today? If not, then I don't want to go in. After all, you seem to be quite afraid of me."

"It's not fear, but trouble, because it's not the first time we have encountered a woman with the aura of Amazon."

The doorwoman explained and then made a gesture of invitation to Diana.

She continued as she held out her hand.

“We have Master Zatara’s show almost every day, unless the master is invited by a wealthy company like the Wayne Group to do a private show.

So, please come in.

But we have to make it clear in advance that you can see many things here that you may not want to see, but you are absolutely not allowed to cause trouble here.

The last Amazon woman brought us a great loss, and we also guarantee that after her death, there is absolutely no possibility for her soul to return to your ancestral land.

You better not be next!"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Diana frowned slightly, and took a step forward.

"Is she dead already?"

Diana pushed the concierge against the wall and asked coldly.

Shocked by Diana's aura, the doorkeeper swallowed and then shook her head gently.

"Not yet... not yet."

"Oh, you scared me. After all, even if there are only a few people who are away from my hometown, they are still my people. I thought one of my people died here. Now it's not bad. Anyway, she is not dead yet. I don't know where her soul will go.

This way, you won’t have to fight a wonderful battle with us, haha!”

After a sneer, Diana walked into the Forgotten Bar with disdain.

Although this bar is known as the largest stronghold of the global occult world.

But in fact, for the mysterious world, the more something is displayed in the open for others to see, the less important it is.

It is said to be the largest stronghold of the mysterious world, but in fact it is just a cover. Not only are there all kinds of newbies who have just stepped half a foot into the mysterious world, but there are also many ordinary mortals hanging around here.

After walking all the way into the bar, Diana's eyes lingered on the poster of the Zatara magic show posted on the edge of the corridor.

But just this one glance made Diana stop in confusion.

The name on the poster is indeed Zatara Magic Circus, but why is there a woman on the poster?
Strange, has the lead actor of Zatara's circus changed?

As she thought this, Diana walked past the vigilant crowd and sat down in the booth closest to the stage.

As soon as he sat down, a brave guy came up to him and opened his windbreaker for him.

"This rare demon blood comes from a high-level demon who is at least a Grand Lord!

I think you and I are destined to be together, so I will only charge you three million US dollars, how about that? "

"I think you look like three million dollars, trash."

Diana shook her head in disdain and then greeted the wandering bartender.

Seeing that Diana no longer paid attention to him, the sales guy raised his middle finger in boredom and then moved on to sell to the next person.

Including the gate to the mysterious world, every circle with a threshold is full of half-baked people who deceive and talk nonsense.

It’s just that the scammers on the mysterious side are more dangerous.

After the bartender brought the drinks, Diana no longer paid attention to anyone else and waited quietly for Zatara's magic show.

After waiting for forty minutes, the talk show host on the stage finally finished his performance, and then it was the turn of the magic show.

As Diana looked on expectantly, a girl wearing high heels, fishnet stockings, a white corset, a women's magic costume, and a tall magic hat stepped out from backstage onto the stage.

Her appearance brought a rare bit of cheers to the bar, with some people even shouting "Zuck Zuck".

However, when Diana saw the girl confidently performing magic on the stage, she felt a little unlucky.

That's right, she seemed to have seen this girl who was no more than twenty years old, and when she saw this child that year, the little girl was only a few years old.

Diana's impression of Zatara was still that of a child who had a pretty good physique but couldn't even speak clearly.

Rather than wanting to see the child, she wanted to see the father behind the child who could be called the King of Magic!

So after the magic show was over, Diana couldn't help but ask before the girl took her bow and left.

"Do you remember me, Zatanna? I am Diana of Paradise Island.

Sixteen years ago, I saw your father perform and worked with him for a while. He helped me solve a big problem. "

Having said that, Diana stretched out her hand towards the stage, and Zatanna Zatara looked at Diana warily, but finally couldn't help but move closer to Diana.

She asked softly as she held Diana's hand.

"Are you my father's friend?"

"I think we should be considered friends. I once invited him to a dinner party at the Aegean Sea restaurant where we could listen to the piano, and he also helped me deal with a few troublesome curses."

Diana explained, then gently patted the back of Zatanna's hand.

"We haven't seen each other for sixteen years. Time has passed so quickly. Even you have grown so much.

But where is your father? After watching you grow up, did he choose to sit behind the scenes and enjoy his daughter's performance?
Your magic is great, Zach, and it's the funniest show I've seen in a long time, but besides that, I have something important to do to meet your father.

So, would you mind taking me to meet him?"

After saying that, Diana gave Zatanna a warm smile, but somehow, Zatanna's expression became visibly worse!
Facing Diana's smile, Zatanna took a deep breath and then nodded to Diana.

"Come with me."

After she finished speaking, Zatanna let go of Diana's hand and led Diana into the backstage.

After greeting the rest of the circus, Zatanna continued to lead Diana into her magic hut.

Zatanna spoke softly the moment Diana stepped into the cabin.

"Bind the void!"

So just a moment later, Diana was lifted up by an unknown force and tied up upside down in front of Zatanna.
