Chapter 1513 C: Twilight Event (XIX)

The sun shines brightly in the metropolitan city in the summer, and the excessively strong sunlight makes all the glass products on the street shine with brilliance. A layer of heat waves visible to the naked eye on the asphalt road binds people's footsteps like condensed colloid.

A young man wearing black-rimmed glasses hurriedly crossed the zebra crossing. Although he was wearing formal clothes and had a briefcase on his shoulder, he did not look like he was going to work, because he was holding a dog in one hand. One hand holds a black cat.

But with this attitude, he walked into a small newspaper office in the XC district of the metropolis. After passing the little-known newspaper sign, the young man was about to walk into the office when he heard a scream.

"Clark, my God! Are these your dogs and cats? Ahhhhh! Come out and see, he really brought them!

Clark looked back and thought that only Louise was standing at the top of the stairs. But a few seconds later, a group of women rushed out from the top of the stairs. All kinds of screams could be heard. His head was touched eighteen times in one second, and Batcat couldn't escape the clutches.

"Ah, yes, this is Xiao Krypton, and this is Xiao Bu. I'm here to deliver something. Louise, the information you want."

As he spoke, Clark took out a document from his bag with the hand holding the dog leash and handed it to Louise next to him. Louise shook her head and said, "I told you I'm not in a hurry. , you can bring it over when you go to work tomorrow, this is not at the Metropolitan Daily. "

"We all feel it is a pity." Clark sighed and said, "A reporter as good as you can only stay in a small newspaper."

"It doesn't matter, this is also my own choice. You have to work harder, otherwise you won't be able to take care of your cats and dogs. Oh, by the way, someone just called here to find you. Do you want to give it to me? Did he call back?"

"Call me here. Could it be that I left the wrong phone number for the customer? Give me his phone number and I'll call him when I get home."

Clark got the number from Lois and didn't pay attention when he found it was an unfamiliar number. When he got home and dialed the number, he was about to apologize when he heard a familiar voice coming from the other side.

"Hey, Clark, this is Bruce, and I want to ask you a favor, okay? To be precise, it's you, Diana, and Hal, but neither of them are at the base right now, and your phone can't be reached, I can only call Louise to find you."

"Oh, I'm sorry, some hackers got my private number before and kept making harassing calls here, so I hung up the phone. Next time if you have anything, just call me by my full name and talk to the air. I can hear it."

"It's like this. You should have watched the variety show "Millionaire", right? But something went wrong now. The black diamonds that I thought were ordinary black diamonds actually contain some kind of powerful power. A vampire attack broke out in London. The human incident has caused great chaos in the magic world, and now both parties want to get the black diamond. "

"You also know that whether they are vampires or mages, it is difficult to expect them to care about the feelings of ordinary people. I hope that the three of you can help recover the black diamonds, so that ordinary people who hold them will not be attacked, and also to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands. in the hand.”

"Oh my god," Clark said, "Why didn't you tell me this earlier?"

Then he remembered that his phone was on the phone and Bruce couldn't get through, so he didn't say "I can handle this myself" that was already on his lips. He sighed and said, "I'm going to find Hal and Diane now." Anna, it’s better not to throw anything dangerous out in the future.”

"Yes, it's my fault. It's all your fault. Goodbye."

After hanging up the phone, Batcat jumped on the table, snorted and said, "What trouble did that guy give you again?"

Although it was a question, the tone was affirmative, but Clark was already very used to this. He said to himself: "I have to find those black diamonds, but I haven't seen what they look like. It seems We have to talk to Diana about this.”

But before Clark could go to find Diana, Diana came to him first, and her face was very serious. Clark was cooking food for Krypton in the kitchen while listening to Diana talk about recent experiences.

"Dick from another universe went with me to my brother's palace. I persuaded the God of Fire to open his warehouse, but Dick was not dazzled by those artifacts. He just picked some small ones based on his own fighting style. artifacts, and didn’t look at those precious but bulky things at all.”

"He is very popular with my brother. Hephaestus thinks he is a stable and not greedy person. The two of them talked very happily. I was also very happy at first, but at this time, Hermo, the messenger of Olympus, Si brought me some bad news.”

"My nemesis, the witch Circe, is now tracking down a black diamond with powerful power. She calls it Eclipse, saying that it is the angry spirit that caused the flood at the beginning of God's creation. She wants to get its power. Bring destruction and disaster back to the world."

"In fact, when the eclipse came to the world, she had already started to collect it. Now she has more than a hundred fragments in her hands. Before, she saw the variety show where Bruce Wayne asked ordinary people to collect black diamonds for him. Fragments, she thinks that Bruce already knows how valuable the black diamond is, and may even have obtained a lot of fragments.”

"So, her next target is Bruce?" Clark asked with wide eyes.

"It is very likely that the magic world has encountered an unprecedented disaster. The wizards are unable to stand up and stop this turmoil. We are the only ones left."

"What are you waiting for? Let's go quickly."

Diana shook her head and said, "The power of the eclipse is very strong. Anyone who touches it with his hands may be bewitched. Hal's green light energy can isolate this influence. He is planning to use the green light energy to create several special gloves so that we can safely touch the fragments of the eclipse."

In the space station base outside the earth, Hal, who was trying to use the green light energy to create gloves, also received a call.

"Hello, Professor Schiller, what's wrong? I'm at the base of the space station. Oh my God, have you heard about this too? Yes, we are working on solving this problem."

Hal lowered his head, changed the phone to another hand, and then said: "Diana plans to collect such fragments all over the world, at least more than the witch Circe found, so that her conspiracy will not succeed."

"But even Diana and Clark have to be careful when touching such fragments. I am planning to make a pair of gloves made of green light energy for them... What? You want one too? Oh, your friend got a piece , you want to do research? "

"Okay, okay, I know I shouldn't remind you that this thing is dangerous. What else is more dangerous than you? But I still have to say, don't let ordinary people touch it... As for the gloves, I will make them as soon as possible. I will fly over to give them to you when they are ready. Okay, that's it, goodbye."

Schiller hung up the phone and turned to look at a man behind him. He was wearing a long brown windbreaker with his collar turned up. His face was a typical Slavic appearance, with sunken eye sockets and prominent brows. He was Petrov, the deputy director of the 11th Bureau of the KGB who had previously returned the medal to Schiller.

"The gloves that allow you to touch the black diamond will be delivered soon. Before that, keep an eye on all the targets who have been confirmed to hold the black diamond. Don't let them out of sight. If they go crazy, stop them remotely. No one should get close to the black diamond."

"Don't worry, Director. Under your leadership, the 11th Bureau has been collecting various powerful items all over the world for many years. Our comrades are very familiar with similar processes. Once the containment equipment arrives, we will immediately take action."

In Wayne Manor, Damian, who had just finished a day of classes, threw his schoolbag on the sofa as soon as he got home and hurried into Elsa's room. In Elsa's room, Elsa, Harley, and Jason sat together.

"Why did you come back just now? Come on, we have a new way, which will definitely be much faster than asking Thomas to find it." Harley waved at Damian and said.

"What are you going to do?" Damian also walked over and sat down, saying, "Thomas has been keeping a close eye on me these days. He won't let me go out to look for fragments at night, but I'm sure there are fragments scattered in Gotham."

"I've told you not to think about looking for it yourself. There are only a few of us. Even if we look for it every day, how long will it take to find a thousand dollars?" Harley crossed her arms and said, "You have to learn to use your brain!"

"What are you going to do?" Damian asked curiously.

"Do you remember that Arkham Hospital provides a place for mercenaries to gather and communicate? We can pay to post tasks there and let the group of mercenaries help us find it, right?"

Damian raised his eyebrows, thought for a while and said, "That's a way, but where do we get the money? The remuneration of those top mercenaries should be very expensive, right?"

"Indeed, so I definitely don't have enough money. I was able to ask Deathstroke for help before because he owed me a favor, but this time it won't work, but don't forget where we are. Thomas likes you so much, If you ask him for pocket money, will he refuse to give it to you? "

"But I can't ask him for pocket money." Damian pursed his lips and said with some embarrassment: "How can I...I can't..."

Ten minutes later, Thomas in the office looked helplessly at the four little heads looking up at him. He reached out and touched each of them, then said: "Well, it's better to spend money on you than on that prodigal Bruce, Morey! Morey! Prepare a card for me!"

Harry made a "look and I'll tell you" gesture to Damian, and Damian rolled his eyes helplessly.

After leaving Thomas' office, Damian asked: "Harry, who are you going to hire with this money?"

"Of course, the strongest mercenary."

In this way, the battle for the angry spirit of God, that is, the fragments of the eclipse, is quietly going on in the dark world that ordinary people can hardly detect.

A thousand fragments sounds like a lot, but under the search of various people with special skills, most of the fragments have nowhere to hide, and the specific location and holders gradually surfaced.

But as the battle became more and more intense, these people inevitably met in various occasions. Since the number of fragments was fixed, you had more and I had less, it was a zero-sum game. Everyone wanted to snatch more fragments from others while keeping their own inventory, so fighting when they met had become the norm.

The first to make a breakthrough was Zatanna. Her irony magic was very unreasonable. It was not only free but also very convenient. Gabriel, who was unprepared, was frozen in place by her finger.

Zatanna pulled out the core fragment from his chest and forcibly saved Constantine's body, but Gabriel was very cunning. At the moment when the seal of the fragment was lifted, he used the spare body that had been prepared to escape.

Zatanna took the core fragment she had pulled out and returned to the Forgotten Bar to find Bruce. When the two were studying the fragment, the door of the Forgotten Bar was knocked open with a "bang".

Just when Zatanna thought that the Dark Master Jim and his group would come, a figure wearing black and yellow armor appeared at the door.

"Don't waste my time, give me what you have in your hand."
