Chapter 1498: Twilight Event (20)

Bruce raised an eyebrow slightly, looking a bit surprised, until he looked up and down at Deathstroke at a fast speed, and then said: "How much money did the person who asked you to snatch this thing give you? I'll give you double."

"I don't take return orders." Deathstroke's hand gripped the hilt of the sword behind his back, and Bruce said again: "Did they tell you that you have to deal with a magician?"

"Of course, he paid the corresponding price."

Deathstroke began to approach the two quickly. Bruce gave Zatanna a wink. Zatanna's reaction speed and her long-term strategic performance were two extremes. Without even raising her hand, she said directly to Deathstroke: "'Stop there'!"

Deathstroke stopped there and didn't move. Bruce spread his hands as if relaxing his vigilance and said: "They definitely didn't tell you that you have to deal with such a magician..."

Zatanna breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly she saw Bruce wave his hand to the right twice. This was the secret signal they had agreed upon for retreat.

Without thinking, she opened the teleportation portal instantly and disappeared from the Forgotten Bar with Bruce. And in the second they disappeared, two sharp sword lights slashed the bar.

Zatanna brought Bruce to her home. In the second before disappearing, she saw Deathstroke waving his weapon and rushing towards them. She covered her chest and said in disbelief: "How is this possible?! How could he not be bound by my reverse magic?!"

"Deathstroke is the strongest mercenary in the world. His mission success rate is as high as 100%. Many people think his powerful force and exquisite use of several weapons are the magic weapon for his success, but I know this is not the key."

"I was curious about how he did it, so I launched a series of investigations. Later, I discovered that his strength lies in information. As long as the mission target has existed in this world, he will understand them thoroughly and never fight an unprepared battle."

"I dare say he took this order and learned about the existence of magicians, so he went to collect information on all the magicians he might encounter and made targeted measures. Who in this world can target your reverse magic?"

Zatanna frowned and said: "Actually many, but that's mostly in the case of a sneak attack. Although reverse magic is convenient to cast, I don't have the ability to predict, and it's easy to be sneak-attacked or step into a trap."

"But if I am in good condition, almost no magician can deal with me in a frontal battle. If I have to say it, Constantine counts as one. His combat style is too weird. I never know whether he is really hit or pretending."

"As for others..." Zatanna just wanted to say "no more," and a name appeared in her mind, thinking and saying: "Circe the witch might also be able to."

Bruce thought of some records in the magic classics he had seen. Circe was a very famous evil witch in ancient times. She slaughtered kingdoms and wantonly turned people into animals, building walls between men and women.

"A witch shouldn't hire mercenaries. Deathstroke most likely learned through some channel that Circe has the ability to counter reverse magic, went to cooperate with her, or they just bumped into each other, and then Deathstroke robbed her. But no matter what, because your magic didn't catch us this time, Deathstroke will continue to find a way."

"His attitude shows that he values you more between the two of us, seeing your reverse magic as a greater threat. Then he is very likely to go find Circe or other magicians again. Once he mentions this fragment you and I are holding, Circe or other surviving magicians will realize that the fragment we have is different from everyone else's."

Zatanna was nervous immediately. She lowered her head and glanced at the black, slightly glowing prism she was holding, and Bruce continued to speculate.

"Eclipso has self-wisdom. If someone touches it, it will definitely tell them that a core fragment is drifting outside, and it must be obtained to gain the complete dark heart."

"Even if Deathstroke didn't bring this news out, the escaped Gabriel will definitely release the news, which can attract everyone looking for fragments to besiege us... Go, back to Cat Getan."

Zatanna hadn't fully kept up with Bruce's train of thought. While opening the teleportation portal, she asked: "Why go back to Cat Getan?"

"Besides Cat Getan, where else in this world can withstand a magic war of this intensity? I have helped Cat Getan so much, it is time for it to help me."

After speaking, he took Zatanna into the teleportation portal. The two appeared on the roof of the Wei En Building. Bruce didn't say much, walked directly into the building from the roof door, and took the elevator to Thomas's office.

Thomas frowned when he saw Bruce's figure, but Bruce followed him without nonsense: "I got the core fragment of the dark heart that seals the Spirit of Wrath. Now I'm afraid everyone in the magical world is looking for me. I need your help. We have to guard the core fragment and at the same time get the remaining fragments from the people who come to attack."

Thomas's face became serious immediately. Looking at Bruce who turned his head away, he couldn't help but feel a little bit of pride. Any father would be moved by the fact that his son came to him first when he encountered difficulties.

Thomas stood up immediately and walked to the door, saying without looking back: "Follow me, we need to transform the Batcave."

"It's too late." Bruce said in a calm tone: "The news will spread within three days, and they will arrive here within a week at the latest. Staying in a Batcave that hasn't been fully transformed will be like catching a turtle in a jar."

"Then where do you plan to guard?"

"New Arkham Psychiatric Hospital."

Bruce's next stop was Cat Getan University. After finding Lex Luthor and explaining the ins and outs and his intention, he placed the black diamond he first obtained on the table. Lex touched his chin and said: "If it is as you said, the person who gets this black diamond will hear voices in their head and gain the power bestowed by this voice, then this is likely two systems."

"The black diamond sends a signal to the human brain and reads feedback from brain waves to achieve communication, which is the first system. After getting the communication result, it triggers a certain mechanism inside the black diamond to release a part of the power and conduct it to the human body, which is the second system."

"Instead of spending power to read how they communicate in the human brain, or trying to block it after the other party gains power, it is better to directly shield the signal of the black diamond communicating with humans and the wave band it sends power."

"But time is too tight." Lex shook his head and said: "Give me two weeks, I can directly make the black diamond unable to affect any human beings anymore, but within a short week, I can only do interference, and can't cut it off completely."

"Okay, that's it. New Arkham Psychiatric Hospital has the most advanced equipment I can build at this stage. I will find a few helpers to help you move the equipment for researching weather controllers and Ark Reactor there. You can go there to research."

Lex nodded and said: "No problem, then see you at New Arkham Psychiatric Hospital."

Then Bruce first went to find Victor and his wife Nora. Victor was teaching Nora to practice shooting and using the freezing weapons he invented. Hearing Bruce's intention, Victor frowned, but still said: "I can help you, but you said it is very likely that some magicians have already gained the power of the Spirit of Wrath. I am not sure if my freezing weapons can still freeze such people."

"We plan to guard the island on Villain Island, so whether it can be trapped is not important, but to block it."

Hearing Bruce say this, Victor frowned. He looked at Bruce with a strange expression and said: "If you hadn't been away from Cat Getan recently, I would have really thought you were monitoring me."

Victor walked to the experimental bench, rummaged in the cabinet below and said: "I was focused on researching miniaturization and super-large-scale before. The representative works of freezing weapons are the freeze gun and the blizzard generator that can freeze the entire Cat Getan."

"But Nora has different opinions on this research route. She thinks that medium-sized freezing weapons are most suitable for street fighting in Cat Getan, so under the joint research of the two of us, we made this."

Victor held a rectangular box like a brick in his hand and pointed at it to introduce to Bruce: "This is an ice wall generator. It was the inspiration Schiller brought to me before. He said it was an idea that sprouted after some of his friends saw my research results."

"The method of use is very simple. Put this thing on the ground, as long as it is blown up, it will immediately form a dense ice wall. Theoretically, the overall strength of dense ice is very high, not losing to any kind of metal. At the same time, before the energy is exhausted, the ice wall will self-repair, and because the molecular structure of dense ice is special, the speed of repair is very fast."

"There are also many equipment that have not been fully completed, such as ice cone automatic turrets, protective ice layer shields, ice fog deceleration fields, etc. If it weren't for your urgency, there are more than a dozen medium-sized weapons on the way to research and development."

"Very good." Bruce said at a fast speed: "I believe the low-temperature laboratory of New Arkham Psychiatric Hospital can fully meet the research needs of you and your wife. You can rest assured to continue to perfect these weapons there in the next few days."

"Of course, the hardware there is world-class. If you don't mind, I can call a few of my old friends together, so the efficiency will be much higher. My recent academic achievements make them envious. Those unique advanced equipment are enough to trick them over."

"Then see you at New Arkham Psychiatric Hospital."

"Goodbye."

Afterwards, Bruce successfully found Pamela in the cafeteria. Pamela wiped her mouth with a napkin and looked at him: "You just graduated a few days ago, and you provoked a large group of magicians again, Mr. Wei En, do you have a grudge against a quiet life?"

Then she sighed again and said: "You came really coincidentally, I was just worrying that no one could witness my recent academic achievements."

"Academic achievements? Did you make seeds that can be planted in Cat Getan?"

"On the contrary, everything except seeds that can be planted in Cat Getan has been made."

Ten minutes later, Pamela pointed to the flower pots all over the table, floor, and even walls in her botany laboratory.

"Introduce, this is the hitting cabbage, this is the hitting mustard, this is the hitting lettuce, this is the hitting ball lettuce, this is the hitting arugula, this is the hitting artichoke..."

Then she walked to the door of the warehouse, opened the door and pointed inside, saying.

"These few are even more heavyweight, this is the explosive thrower wheat, this is the high-pressure water gun rice, this is the mine sweet potato, this is the drowned ghost maker eelgrass..."

Bruce was dumbfounded. ***
