Chapter 241 It is impossible to encounter two big troubles in one day (please subscribe to read, monthly ticket and comment)
"Xiao Zha, these are three friends I just met!"

Constantine walked straight into the backstage and introduced Martin and the others to Zatanna who was removing her makeup.

"My name is Martin!" Martin tilted his head, poked his head out from behind Constantine and waved to Zatanna.

"I am Taiwu, nice to meet you, young lady!"

Taiwu's salute was very formal, neither intimate nor distant.

Zatanna was very surprised when she saw the two Taoists following Constantine. She didn't notice them at first because her attention was attracted by Rachel.

Rachel's blood had just been stimulated by the teachings of Lei Lingzhu and Martin, and she was emitting a faint magical power, although not much, but its nature was very special.

As a great wizard, Zatanna could immediately see the demonic power emanating from the girl.

It wasn't until Martin and Taiwu introduced themselves that she noticed the two Taoists.

"When will someone like you be able to hang out with the Taoist priests from Dongda!"

Zatanna looked at Constantine suspiciously. Although she was friends with Constantine, she was also scared by the troubles he had caused.

Especially the Taoists. They are different from the magicians in Europe and America. They are successful in their practice and they all strictly abide by the precepts. They can't stand guys like Constantine who have all the five poisons.

"We met by accident!"

Constantine saw that Martin and Taiwu had no reaction, so he pulled Zatanna a few steps away and whispered, "I went to Detroit to take an exorcist job, and I ran into the magic explosion of the daughter of the Three Palaces Demon. Then those two Taoist priests fell from the sky, and I was captured by them."

Zatanna tilted her head slightly, looking at the two Taoists standing like pine trees, and asked in confusion: "These two Taoists don't look like they have any evil or cunning temperament. How could they possibly control someone like you?"

Constantine was so upset!

What do you mean? If those two Taoists are not evil and cunning, then I am!
Yes, I really am that kind of person!

Constantine, who was very self-aware, skipped the matter and whispered to Zatanna: "Don't be fooled by the honest faces of these two Taoists. They are more cunning than the other. Especially the round-faced Taoist. He looks cute, but he is ruthless when he fights!"

Zatanna did not respond to Constantine's complaints, thinking that what he said might not be true.

To be honest, even she couldn't help but want to beat Constantine up sometimes, let alone others.

"What do they want?"

Zatanna didn't continue to worry about Constantine's character. After all, that guy didn't have that kind of thing.

"Lingzhu!"

When Constantine saw the power displayed by the Thunder Spirit Pearl and the Water Spirit Pearl, he also realized that the thing was indeed not an ordinary thing. If it spread in human society, it would sooner or later cause trouble.

"Their sect has lost five spirit beads, which are wind, thunder, water, fire and earth. The thunder spirit bead is in the hands of the Sangong Demon's daughter, and the water spirit bead was taken away by the Los Angeles Spirit."

"The daughter of the Three Palaces Demon just got the Thunder Spirit Pearl, and was able to directly destroy a space created by the demons. Just now, the Los Angeles Spirit used the Water Spirit Pearl to turn the 'Desire of Sleeping' into nothingness."

Zatanna frowned.

"Let's not talk about the daughter of the Three Palaces Demon for now. The Sleeping Desire has been blessed with countless magics by those who sold information. It is no different from a fortress. The city spirit can defeat them, but how to turn the Sleeping Desire into nothingness?"

"Martin talked about a lot of principles described in the books of the University of East China, which might be similar to Thales' theory!"

Constantine can understand Mandarin, but that doesn't mean he can understand the classics of the University of Tokyo.

"The point is, we can't let these spiritual beads fall into the hands of the people. We must help them find something as soon as possible."

One of the few serious things in Constantine's life is to contain those out-of-control magical items and throw them into the House of Mystery to prevent them from posing any threat to human society.

It was because of this that Zatanna became friends with Constantine.

"So this is why you came to me!"

Zatanna looked as if she had suddenly realized something, but in fact she had already understood the purpose of Martin and his group's visit.

She stretched out her right hand, palm down, clenched her fist, then turned her fist over and spread her fingers one by one, and a green bead appeared in her palm.

When the green beads appeared, a breeze naturally arose in the room, gently brushing everyone's faces, lifting their spirits a little.

The Thunder Spirit Pearl that Rachel carried with her also emitted a faint light, and electric currents briefly appeared in the air before disappearing.

When Zatanna took out the Wind Spirit Orb, Martin gripped the hilt of the Twin Dragon Sword, fearing that she would develop the same symptoms as the Spirit of Los Angeles, and desperately scrambled for the other spirit orbs.

But Zatanna was normal, and the Thunder and Wind Orbs did not show any extreme behavior. They flashed their light at each other a few times to show their friendship, and then there was no other movement.

"what's the situation?"

Martin looked at Taiwu in surprise, and both brothers had the same thought in their minds.

But after being surprised, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Zatanna's normality overturned their previous worries, that is, something strange happened to the spirit pearl in the process of traveling through the world.

Now it seems that the reason why the Spirit of Los Angeles came to fight for the Spirit Pearl was simply for her own reasons.

"Last night, a hurricane suddenly arose in the theater. After I used magic to disperse the hurricane, I found this bead."

"Since it's yours, you can take it back!"

Zatanna extended her hand in front of Martin openly and without any reluctance, and she did not have any intention of taking it for herself because of Constantine's description.

Constantine wanted to say something, but Zatanna held out her hand, so he had to hold back his words.

Martin reached out and grabbed the Wind Spirit Pearl, picked it up easily, threw it into the air and caught it again. After repeating this three times, he put the pearl into his sleeve.

The Wind Spirit Pearl did not give him any special treatment. Apart from giving him stronger control over the wind spiritual energy, there was nothing else.

Martin had tried it before when he was in Shushan, and was not surprised by the result.

Zatanna had no attachment to this gift from heaven. After Martin took the bead back, she said, "You two may not know me, but as a great wizard, I have the responsibility to prevent mysterious things from harming ordinary people."

This responsibility does not belong to all magicians, but Zatanna inherited it from his father Giovanni Zatara.

Martin knew Zatanna's story, so he didn't ask any more questions. He nodded and said, "We are short of manpower right now. If Ms. Zatanna is willing to lend us a hand, Martin, I will naturally not refuse."

Because Zatanna gladly returned the Wind Spirit Pearl, Taiwu did not feel disgusted with this barbarian woman he had never met before.

Zatanna said goodbye to everyone, asked for leave from the troupe's leader, changed into clothes that were convenient for traveling and fighting, and left the theater with Martin and the others.

"I'm afraid I can't help you with the search for the Spirit of Los Angeles."

Faced with Martin's request for help, Zatanna showed a very embarrassed expression.

"The Spirit of Los Angeles is Los Angeles itself. Even if a great wizard wants to locate her specific location, it is almost impossible. Now that she has the Water Spirit Pearl you mentioned, the last glimmer of hope has been completely blocked."

Although Martin offered this kind of help, he didn't actually hold out hope. Zatanna shook her head slightly, so he changed the question: "Has she always been this crazy? Or did she start like this last night?"

Constantine interrupted, "I have much more experience than Xiao Za in dealing with spirits."

"The soul of a city is a complex life. For Los Angeles, it was born during the gold rush, because it was not until then that Los Angeles truly became a city. At that time, he was just like the gold diggers, who were determined to achieve their goals regardless of the consequences."

"Later, Los Angeles became one of the largest industrial cities on the West Coast, and she developed the character of an industrial worker: calm, willing to endure hardship, and able to endure."

"After World War II, Hollywood became more and more famous, and Los Angeles became the shape of Hollywood! For decades, no vicious incidents have ever happened to it!"

Martin couldn't help but complain: "No wonder when I hear the Spirit of Los Angeles speak, he sounds like Beverly Hills Daughters, so pretentious."

"Then why is she so crazy about grabbing the Thunder Spirit Pearl? The Water Spirit Pearl doesn't have the effect of arousing greed."

"Could it be that the spirit of Los Angeles suddenly awakened its consciousness and felt that living like this was meaningless and wanted to change its way of life?"

Although Martin said this, he himself did not believe it.

The spirits of the city do not have any id or superego. They are what the city looks like, and they will die if they leave the city.

Even the spirit pearl cannot change this fact.

Martin and the others thought about this problem, and they all fell silent, their brains working rapidly, recalling various possibilities.

Rachel had no knowledge of the mysterious side, so naturally, she couldn't think. Unable to bear the silence, she said, "What's there to think about? As long as we gather the four spirit beads first and subdue the Los Angeles Spirit, we'll know everything!"

A word to wake up the dreamer!

Rachel has no thoughts, so she won't be trapped by fixed thinking patterns.

"Yes!"

Martin gave Rachel a thumbs up and agreed with her words: "As long as we find the four spirit beads first, all problems will be solved!"

He looked around and said, "Five of us squeezed together, what a waste!"

"The Earth Spirit Orb is most likely in the hands of that evil cult. My brother and I will go deal with them. Ms. Zatanna and Constantine, you know Los Angeles and the people in this city. Please go and find out the whereabouts of the Fire Spirit Orb."

Martin had long ago asked Dick to collect information about the Los Angeles cult so that they could better target it.

But Dick said that there are too many different kinds of cults in Los Angeles. Those stars often become famous at a young age. After becoming famous, they become petty bourgeois and feel lonely, empty and cold. In addition to taking drugs, they also like to believe in cults to comfort their conscience.

So it took Dick time to collect the information, but it also took too long.

"Do you two know Los Angeles?"

Zatanna has different opinions when she hears Martin's arrangement.

"Los Angeles is very large and complex. The two of you were able to subdue Constantine, so your strength is not a problem. However, you don't know this city well, and there will be other troubles besides fighting."

Martin nodded in agreement. At least he didn't know the Los Angeles in this world.

Zatanna made the most basic observations about the two Taoist priests and continued to suggest: "Mr. Taiwu doesn't seem to like women getting close to him, so let's go with Constantine."

Constantine breathed a sigh of relief. In his opinion, Taiwu was much easier to deal with than the smiling Martin.

No one knew what Martin had grown up on. At the age of 18, he was even more difficult to deal with than a middle-aged man like him. It was as if he could see through all his thoughts.

"Alright!"

Martin thought about it for a few seconds and agreed to this grouping.

Senior Brother Taiwu really had no habit of dealing with women, and although Constantine was cunning, it was difficult for him to convince Taiwu.

So this grouping is quite appropriate.

Taiwu glanced between Zatanna and Constantine, then nodded to Martin to show that he had no objection.

"In that case, Zatanna, Rachel and I will go find that cult, while Senior Brother Taiwu and Constantine will look for news about the Fire Spirit Orb!"

"Brother, take care!"

Taiwu bowed to Martin, then pushed Constantine away like a prisoner.

Zatanna looked at Constantine's helpless expression and couldn't help but laugh.

It's rare to find someone who can make that scoundrel suffer a loss. Usually, Constantine cheats others.

"Ms. Zatanna, what do you know about the cult that was hit by the earthquake yesterday?"

Martin had Rachel stand on his left while he talked to Zatanna on his right.

"That sect is ostensibly a medical research society, but secretly it practices blood worship.

Many celebrities and wealthy businessmen have experienced different degrees of rejuvenation after donating their blood. With the facts in front of them, they have attracted a lot of attention. "

"In just a few years, they have formed a large network in Los Angeles. Even a great wizard like me cannot easily touch them, otherwise the people around me will be retaliated against."

Martin smiled slightly: "Fortunately, I am not from this world, and I don't know many friends. I won't have so many scruples when I start fighting!"

Hearing the deep murderous intent hidden in Martin's words, Zatanna suddenly understood why Constantine didn't dare to provoke this young man who looked a little cute.

However, Zatanna did not intend to persuade him not to kill people. There is no good thing about cults. If someone dies, he dies. It doesn't matter.

"The problem is that although this cult has become famous in recent years, the ones active outside are peripheral members. No one knows where their core members have gone."

Zatanna had naturally looked for those people's traces, so she was very clear about their methods.

Martin shook his head gently: "It doesn't matter! It's impossible for me to encounter two tough opponents like the City Spirit in one day, right?"

He smiled and waved his hands, showing great confidence in his luck.

The three soon arrived at the city center and saw the collapsed building blocked by police.

There were many reporters surrounding them, but none of them could get inside the cordon. Even paying money couldn't make the police change their minds.

The policemen within the cordon were carrying something out.

"It seems that we need to think of a way to get in and see what's going on inside?"

Martin saw the truck with the police logo and quickly had an idea.
