The rise of comics

Thick darkness filled the cave passage which was not spacious.

In more than ten centuries or even longer, the visit of Task Force X is probably the first time for this place.

Everyone maintained varying degrees of vigilance, following the team led by Constantine and Bruce. The depressing and somewhat depressing environment made it difficult for even veterans who had experienced hundreds of battles not to fight. Pay close attention to the movements around you.

Everyone was silent, and they could only hear the sound of multiple footsteps echoing in the empty cave corridor.

Although all members of Task Force The equipped tactical flashlight can project an effective clear distance of [-] meters. However, in such a ghost place, the distance illuminated by the flashlights of seven people without exception is barely even five meters, as if they are wrapped around everyone. There is some kind of entity in the darkness around him. If his breathing, air pressure, etc. were not normal, Freud would even consider using a gas mask as a precaution.

"Wait."

After marching for about 5 minutes, Constantine, who was walking at the front, suddenly spoke out.

The team members felt a little nervous, and Floyd had already spoken first.

"What's wrong."

He lowered his voice and it sounded a little hoarse.

"I think it's because we may have passed through the initial passage, and there are many more forks in front of us."

Bruce turned his body slightly, allowing the people behind him to shine their flashlights and look forward. Sure enough, when Floyd and others looked straight ahead, there were eight separate passages in the dim environment where there was originally only one straight corridor. The passages in different directions made Floyd frown a little.

Eight channels?But even if each of them goes to explore a passage separately, there is still one person missing, and there is no guarantee that this kind of ghost place will not have any traps or the like, and it will also imprison monsters like the true ancestor of vampires. If there is The traps must be very dangerous. If the team is dispersed at this time, there will undoubtedly be an additional variable in the search for the magic lamp.

But if these eight tunnels are not separated, Freud will not know for sure where the magic lamp is hidden. Teaming up to search will undoubtedly seriously increase the time consumption, which is also a variable that is difficult to control.

At this time, Floyd even missed the Flash a little. He didn't have much dealings with these speedsters, but no one would envy them for their abilities. Time, for the speedsters, It’s just a piece of data that can also be quantified.

Quickly gathering his somewhat scattered thoughts, Floyd pondered for two seconds, and finally decided to let everyone explore separately and communicate with each other through the team voice channel. What happened next could only be taken step by step.

With this in mind, he opened his mouth and gave the order.

"Everyone acts separately and explores alone. However, if any abnormalities are found, they must promptly report to the team by voice and do not have any thoughts of acting alone. In addition, Frost's situation is a bit special. She is with me. Constantine, you and Batman are together. Group."

After speaking, he glanced at Bruce.

"You can keep an eye on him, right?"

Bruce turned his head and glanced at the dead shooter, but did not answer.

"But there are still two caves left that no one has explored. What if the magic lamp is in these two extra caves."

Mark seemed a bit skeptical about this.

"Magic lamp? What magic lamp?"

Constantine suddenly narrowed his eyes.

""

Mark immediately realized that he had let slip that Constantine did not know about the existence of the magic lamp.

"If I were you, just shut up and think about that path."

Floyd gave him a cold look.

"Are you really sure you want to separate? Without my experience and guidance, there may be many unimaginable dangers hidden in this ancient god's prison. Of course, who among you would give me a dime? It doesn’t matter, but if it involves me, haha, I still want to live a little longer.”

Constantine shrugged.

"Then can you find a correct path? If not, please don't brag about it so brazenly."

Freud obviously doesn't have a good impression of Constantine at all now.

"Yes, but the premise is that I want to know what exactly you are here to find."

Constantine spread his hands.

"It's okay, you can tell him."

At this time, Amanda Waller's slightly electromagnetic noise instructions came to Floyd's ears.

Obviously, she is monitoring everything happening here at the moment.

"You want to know what we are looking for? Well, let me tell you that we worked hard to get here to find the magic lamp."

Although Floyd was a little unhappy, he still answered coldly.

"Magic lamp? What magic lamp?"

"It's the kind of magic lamp that can make people wish and make any wish come true."

Boomerang Captain George, who was next to Floyd, coughed.

"What, where did you hear about the magic lamp that makes any wish come true? Do you believe there is such a ridiculous thing in the tomb of the true ancestor?"

Even Constantine couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Obviously Freud couldn't make up a cover to deceive him at this time, but the fact he told made him, a mage, find it particularly funny. A magic lamp that can grant any wish?He, Constantine, had seen many strange and weird things, incredible things, and many secrets that ordinary people could not access. But even if he believed that heaven and hell existed, there really were gods who could make wishes in this world. Something like a lamp?

"Are you trying to fool me with something like Andersen's fairy tales like One Thousand and One Nights?"

He tried to be humorous with his usual glib tongue, but no one among the six people present responded to his joke.

In the darkness, he could only roughly see the faces in front of him that were somewhat blurry under the light of the flashlight.

"Wait. Let me think about it."

Gradually, Constantine's expression froze on his face. After all, he was well-informed and more capable of accepting such bizarre things, and he lowered his eyelids.He seemed to be thinking about something.

"Don't think about it. Now that we are here, even if we dig this damn place three feet into the ground, we still have to find the whereabouts of the magic lamp. Since this place was once a place created by the so-called gods, even if there are hidden things that we don't know, Is there anything strange about the treasures we know? As long as we find the magic lamp, we will let you go, but before that, you must help us complete the task."

"It seems like there are instigators behind you."

After a few seconds of silence, Constantine narrowed his eyes slightly.

"If there really is such a magical lamp that can grant any wish, what do you want to use it to do, conquer the world?"

"You care too much. Before thinking about the world, I advise you to think about how to save your own life first."

Floyd said impatiently.

"Okay. I will try to help you find the whereabouts of the treasure, but I will only do my best. If the price is too high, such as waking up Cain and Dracula, then even if I risk my life, I will definitely prevent you from bringing the treasure to my rescue. The whole world is in trouble."

Constantine sneered.

"Ha, when did this rumored Hell Mage become the savior to maintain world peace? I remember, didn't you always do whatever it takes to achieve your own goals? How many people have been fooled by you? Seeing that you are so kind, let those poor people who have been teased by you be spared."

Boomerang Captain George snorted with some disdain.

"Although I, Constantine, have never considered myself a good person, I have never thought of doing anything that would endanger the entire human world. Don't forget, if Mephistopheles and I hadn't reached an agreement, he would have He came to the human world to harvest souls. You guys are so shameless and you have shed countless innocent blood on your hands. I think he must like souls like yours very much."

Constantine said sarcastically.

"Mephisto? What are you talking about?"

Captain Boomerang didn't hear the ancient mysterious legend and Constantine's autobiography just now. He wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Freud.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense to this guy. Constantine, you are a fraud, a complete liar. We all here know very well what you are like. You don't need to elevate yourself. Go to the moral high ground and act like a savior to educate us. Anyone can say a few words. If you are really capable, help us find what we want."

"Haha I will let you see what I can do."

The smiley expression on Constantine's face flashed away.He raised his hand, groped for the windbreaker in his arms, and after two seconds took out a beetle-like object with a slight golden glow.

Then, he seemed to whisper a few obscure spells that were incomprehensible. On his left hand, the pale golden beetle the size of a thumb seemed to flicker for a moment, and then it fluttered its wings and flew away as if it came to life. stand up.

A low buzzing sound reached everyone's ears. It was the sound of a golden beetle rapidly vibrating its wings. Under the illumination of several people's tactical flashlights, it was seen circling for a moment at different times along the eight dark forks in front of it. , about 3 minutes later, it seemed to have found some target, and began to fly towards the passage on the far right. Soon it was out of the range of the tactical flashlight in this unusual place, and submerged into the darkness. Got hit.

"What is this and where is it going?"

Bruce's deep voice spoke.

"This is the [Gold Hunting Bug]. As the name suggests, it is a magical treasure. It is a 'detector' specially used to explore those so-called treasure caves and places where special items may be buried."

Constantine watched the gold-seeking bug disappear into the darkness, squinting his eyes slightly as if sensing something.

"Because in this world, some special or rare treasures usually have a special wavelength, or it can be said to be a magnetic field. This kind of 'field' cannot be detected by people themselves. Even with scientific equipment, it is difficult to detect it. To find this special wave, only magic items specially designed to deal with this can be found through a certain distance search, such as relics left by the gods, weapons, or anything related to gods and demons. Something that the gold-seeking bug was created specifically for.”

"It looks so amazing. Harley also wants to raise a bug like this."

Harley Quinn blinked her big eyes, not sure whether she was talking to herself or to everyone.

"It looks like it has a target."

Glancing at Constantine, Bruce turned his attention to the rightmost passage.

"Let's go, follow me. But let me remind you, even if something is discovered later, no one should do anything without permission. It must be checked by me personally, understand."

Constantine squinted his eyebrows, looked around at the people behind him, and waved.

"We'll follow."
