Chapter 2894
Zan was thrown to the ground and let out another scream. The Arkham Knight inherited his father's interrogation style very well. He went up and clicked four times, and the limbs of the young man in the purple tight suit were all broken.
Dick gasped, but wasn't particularly surprised. After all, none of the Jasons in any universe were good people. Moonlight Schiller had no reaction, and Strange frowned slightly, seemingly feeling it was a pity.
The Arkham Knight said while reloading his gun: "I ask, you answer. For every second you hesitate, you get another shot."
"You give up, I won't..."
Bang!
"AH!!!"
Zan lay on the ground twitching powerlessly. Constantine, who walked in limping, grinned.
"Who sent you?" The Arkham Knight asked.
Zan just screamed and didn't answer. Immediately after, there was another shot. At this time, the young man was clearly a bit delirious, and the terrifying severe pain completely occupied his brain.
"It's... it's..."
Zan just made a mouth shape, and blood-colored flames rose from his chest, almost instantly burning him into charcoal.
"Don't waste your effort," Constantine said: "The turned ones can't disobey their father. Any intention to reveal secrets about their kin will trigger a fatal curse."
Zan was still screaming, clearly not dead, but if he kept burning like this, it wouldn't be certain. Schiller looked at Dick. Dick shook his head and said: "I only possess magical power, but I don't know how to use spells, and I don't know how to lift the curse."
Schiller looked at Doctor Strange again. Doctor Strange was already spinning around Zan at this moment. Just as he was about to say something, Constantine opened his mouth and said: "I have a way to lift this kind of curse, but you'd better not ask him again..."
"No, wait," Doctor Strange suddenly interrupted him and said: "I can feel his soul. This means that if he dies now, I can summon him again. By then, no curse will work."
Others suddenly realized. Yes, they have a necromancer here. Catch the vampire, as long as you let them die once, you can use the necromancer to summon them again, and the summoned undead creatures have no secrets in front of the summoner.
"Give him a quick end," Doctor Strange raised his head slightly and said.
The Arkham Knight took out the sniper rifle again, loaded the bullets, and aimed at Zan's head.
But just at this moment, Zan, who was just twitching and wailing in place, suddenly went crazy and rushed towards Doctor Strange like crazy.
Doctor Strange had been too close before and was hit head-on. He got a claw on his shoulder. Fortunately, at the emergency moment, the golden candlestick flew over like an arrow off the string, pinning Zan to the ground.
At this time, the young man had no movement and completely turned into a black corpse. Doctor Strange covered the wound on his shoulder and gasped.
Khonshu used moonlight power to heal the wound, but Doctor Strange's condition didn't improve. Three pitch-black traces remained on his shoulder. This was clearly some kind of toxin or curse.
Doctor Strange raised his arm slightly, but instantly opened his eyes wide and said: "His soul is gone! How is this possible?!"
He raised his head and began to search around, but Schiller knew it was impossible for him to find it.
Because just when Doctor Strange said he wanted to kill Zan and summon him again, a light that was almost invisible to the naked eye flew out from Constantine's hand and entered Zan's body, and then this young man went crazy.
And after the young man died, Constantine was smoking on the surface, but took out a small bottle from his pocket while smoking, and Zan's soul was collected into the bottle by him.
"Must have a soul to summon?" Schiller looked at Doctor Strange and asked.
"Theoretically, yes. The soul is the medium of spellcasting, so the stronger the soul, the stronger it will be after being summoned back, and memory exists in the soul. Without a soul, how does he know who he was before? And who turned him?"
"Doctor Strange makes a lot of sense. Now what they want isn't a combat power, but intelligence. So if the resurrected Zan has no soul, just an empty shell, it doesn't make much sense."
But Schiller clearly didn't think so. He said: "Can you make his body come back to life?"
"It can be done, but there will be some gap with a living person."
"For example?"
"For example, the skin is paler, there is no body temperature, and it fears sunlight..." Speaking of this, Doctor Strange himself couldn't go on. The person was originally a vampire, so why fear this?
But then he shook his head again and said: "It's not that simple. Without a soul, it's just a corpse. Although I can use magic to manipulate him, it's very inconvenient to move. At least he can't use the abilities he had when he was alive."
"With a soul, can he use the abilities he had when he was alive???" Dick said with some surprise.
"More than that, not only can he use the abilities of the superhero he was, but he can also use vampire magic," Doctor Strange said quite proudly: "If I hadn't been injured, the intensity of the abilities could at least reach two-thirds of when he was alive, but now it's probably only half."
"Too magical," Dick said: "Never heard of such magic."
Not only had he never heard of it, even Constantine hadn't heard of it. If so, wouldn't it be equivalent to copyright transfer?
Clearly, the person who died and was resurrected got the copyright of magic, but the one who can really use this magical power is the necromancer. If he picks up a few more corpses, wouldn't it be equivalent to owning the copyright of all magic? Is there any justice in this??
But it might be because the way magic operates in the Marvel universe is different. Anyway, Doctor Strange said he could do it. He also used the few vampires he summoned before to demonstrate.
He originally wanted to try if the summoned undead vampires could bite and turn the other party like normal vampires, but no one here could be used for the experiment, so he had to give up.
Under Schiller's instruction, Doctor Strange summoned Zan's corpse, but it could be clearly seen that Zan's eyes had no pupils, which meant there was no soul in his body.
Doctor Strange spread his hands and said: "I am maintaining the stability of his body with magic now, but without a soul, once my magical power is cut off, the corpse will fall apart in an instant. I control him like this, and he can't do anything. After all, my state is poor now."
After speaking, he controlled Zan's corpse to take two steps. These two steps were considered human-like, but the Arkham Knight blocked him with his hand and he fell down.
"I basically won't waste effort to control a corpse without a soul," Doctor Strange said: "This means all the abilities bound to his soul can't be used, and I have to consume more power. This isn't cost-effective at all, so I'm not skilled in controlling him."
"Must it be his own soul?" Schiller asked.
All of a sudden, everyone looked at him. Doctor Strange was slightly stunned, as if he understood Schiller's idea. He said: "No, it doesn't have to be his soul. Any soul can do it, but it's hard for an ordinary person's soul to control someone else's body. That won't be very coordinated."
Schiller smiled and said: "I happen to have experience in this."
In fact, the process of Schiller splitting his family was far more complicated than it looked, because the Gao Ta is actually a complete soul, and all personality traits are just fragments.
The so-called "one radish, one pit," the rule of world operation is that one body matches one complete soul. This makes sense. Any damage to the soul may make people permanently paralyzed or completely comatose, just because an incomplete soul cannot control a complete body.
So Schiller wanted to control the entire body with two-thousandths of a soul fragment, which was almost impossible, especially since this body had certain differences from the body they originally possessed.
But the coincidence was that this wasn't Schiller's first time changing bodies.
He was thrown by God to another world. The body of that world was different from his original body. Maybe this was the reason why Schiller's mental state had always been poor, but no matter what, his soul was suitable for controlling strange bodies.
And later, wanting to split the family, he had to solve the problem of controlling the entire body with a small soul fragment. And the solution, one is that Battleworld is different from the outside, allowing such absurd things to happen without inviting sanctions from universe administrators.
The second is that Schiller usually uses a small fragment to control most actions, and more than half of the rest in the Gao Ta are idle. One core is in trouble, eight cores are watching, they have already adapted to such situations.
So after finishing the new body, after a short period of debugging, they could fully adapt. It can only be said that Schiller is a natural body-snatching holy body.
"You mean you have a way to enter Zan's body?"
"I don't have a way, it depends on you. You are the mage," Schiller said: "I have a plan that can allow us to figure out what happened inside without actually entering the Justice League's vision, and even figure out who the vampire hiding in the Justice League is."
"Isn't there only him?"
"Of course it's impossible to have only one," the one who said this was Dick. He said: "Vampires have the ability to come into contact with people in the Justice League. It's impossible to turn only one young hero. There must be a mole among the seven elders."
"Oh, I understand," Doctor Strange nodded and said: "We can borrow this kid's body to return to the Justice League. On one hand, we can figure out what happened in the Justice League now, and on the other hand, we can come into contact with his boss."
"Although this guy couldn't say who his boss was because of the curse when he was alive, if it's what we see with our own eyes, it can't be considered as him revealing it."
"Exactly. If you have such magic..."
"I certainly have," Doctor Strange said: "Even if not, just hide a camera on him, won't that work?"
The Arkham Knight shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's very difficult. There is an anti-monitoring system laid out by Batman in the Hall of Justice. Our cameras might be checked out by him. It's better to use magic."
"So, sir, do you have a way to put my soul into this body?" Schiller looked at Doctor Strange and asked.
Doctor Strange was slightly hesitant. He said: "I am very surprised that you would trust a stranger you just met. If I didn't guess wrong, you are also a player, right?"
Doctor Strange used magic to cover up the word "player," which sounded like he suddenly coughed. Schiller nodded. Doctor Strange said: "No wonder, then our interests are consistent, and even if there is any problem, it's at most losing some points."
"Do you need to prepare anything?"
"No," Doctor Strange shook his head and said: "You follow me, it will be done soon."
