The rise of comics

"It seems there's no need to separate."

Captain Boomerang shrugged and followed with the tactical flashlight in his hand.

Floyd did not speak, and followed closely behind Constantine and Bruce together with other team members. The voices and shadows of several people disappeared into the corridor on the far right. As the light and shadow of the tactical flashlight disappeared, darkness enveloped everything. Re-engulfed.

But what no one noticed was that just after they chose the path to move forward, the seven extra corridors slowly disappeared quietly, as if they had never existed before.

Following the golden beetle, Task Force X advanced again. After a few minutes, Constantine stopped for the second time.

"what happened?"

Bruce asked in time.

"The gold bugs have stopped"

Constantine frowned slightly. He raised the tactical flashlight on his hand and looked diagonally upward. The pale golden beetle was lingering in the darkness, as if it had been inexplicably disturbed.

"Why don't you go?"

Freud also spoke up.

"The gold-seeking bug seems to have been disturbed by other unknown factors."

Constantine suddenly felt a faint uneasiness in his heart for no reason.

As a mage who is proficient in magic, he has always believed in his intuition. Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and seemed to be sensing the magic power around him. This exploration made him immediately feel that there seemed to be something strange appearing in the void. Abnormal fluctuations.

He looked back suddenly, but there was nothing.

"what happened?"

The other team members looked at him with different expressions, wondering which one he was playing.

"Guys, are we missing one of us?"

At this time, Bruce, who also followed Constantine's gaze, suddenly lowered his body slightly and made a vigilant gesture.

"!"

This question made the members of Task Force The original six-person Task Force X was unconsciously reduced to only five people at this moment.

"Oops, Caitlin is missing!"

Captain Boomerang George growled.

"When did this happen"

Freud immediately opened the team voice channel in his ear, but his movements suddenly froze because Caitlin was special. She was brainwashed by Armand Waller and had no sense of autonomy at the moment. However, due to the absolute command, Priority, it is almost impossible for her to act alone and fall behind the team, but the current situation is that no one noticed that Caitlin disappeared without knowing when.

How can this be?However, the six-person team seemed to be moving forward closely together. With so many elites present, no one noticed that Caitlin had disappeared without realizing it?

"Waller!"

Floyd changed the channel, but before he could say anything, a somewhat silent voice came from the other side of the headset.

"Her voice channel is still open, but I haven't received any response to my instructions, which is very unreasonable."

Amanda Waller has never been in this situation either.

"I understand."

Floyd frowned tightly and seemed to think deeply for two seconds. He walked towards the path he came from.

"What are you going to do?"

Bruce grabbed his wrist.

"Caitlin must be brought back. You know her power, don't you? If she loses control, I think you and I will understand how much damage she can cause."

Floyd glanced at him, then turned his attention to Weather Wizard Mark and Captain Boomerang.

"The three of us turned around and went back to find Caitlin."

"No, this is too dangerous. We still know nothing about this place, and no one has noticed how Caitlin disappeared. If there is any danger hidden here that we can't see, there is no guarantee that she will not disappear next. It’s you three.”

"Huh? What do you mean Batman, you underestimate us."

Captain Boomerang George choked unhappily.

"Don't think that you are the only one who is capable. I have been licking blood from my knife for more than ten years. What kind of battles have I not seen?"

"Stop arguing."

Mark suddenly spoke from the side.

Floyd shone the light of his flashlight on him, and saw that he stretched out his hand and floated up and down in mid-air, as if he was manipulating some invisible object.

"I don't know why the air here has become difficult to control. It seems like there is something in the environment that is hindering me."

The expression on Mark's face looked very solemn. Since he mastered superpowers, although he can't say that he has mastered the ability to control it freely, it is rare to have such an inexplicable situation. For example, this is like the original Like a good swimmer sinking into a quagmire, the sluggish feeling coming from all directions made Mark feel very uncomfortable.

"I have some bad news for you."

Mark's face gradually became very ugly.

"I checked the wind direction and found that the path we came from disappeared mysteriously and I couldn't find Caitlin's breath."

"What? What do you mean the road here disappeared mysteriously?"

The expression of Captain Boomerang beside him changed, and he almost grabbed Mark by the collar.

"That's what it means literally. The way we came has disappeared. Fifty meters away from here, the airflow I control is blocked. It should be a wall or rock or something, but when have we encountered it along the way? Is there such a separation?”

"Harry doesn't want to be locked up in a place like this for the rest of his life."

Harley Quinn's big eyes were rolling, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"We must go back and investigate."

Floyd's voice seemed very solemn.

"No, don't add unnecessary variables, task force x will continue to move forward."

Amanda Waller's instructions came through the headset.

"But Waller, Caitlin is still here"

"Don't worry about Caitlin. You have to hurry up. Haven't you noticed that the signal between us is getting worse and worse. If the signal is interrupted, I think you know the consequences."

Floyd's face changed slightly. He had indeed noticed that the signs of noise and current microphones in the conversation between Waller and him were becoming more and more obvious.

'Does this mean we should give up on Caitlin?'

He struggled in his heart for a while, and then he realized that he had to do this.

The unknown disappearance, or even the loss of a member, made his face look very ugly. After two seconds of silence, he looked at Constantine.

"Moving forward, we have to pick up the pace."

"I feel like staying in this damn place for a second longer will increase unnecessary danger."

Mark looked at the pitch-black path behind him. The deep black seemed to swallow up everyone, but he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and his vigilance became even higher.

"Do you have any means to dispel these darkness?"

Bruce asked Constantine.

"I always feel like there's something in these darknesses."

"Batman, your intuition is very accurate. I can tell you that this kind of darkness is called 'fog of war'. It is a kind of magic from ancient times. It works in some special places such as sealed places to cover people's eyes. Senses, I’ve seen that a few times.”

Constantine looked around and shook his head.

"But it's useless. Even if the fog of war is driven away now, it will still regenerate. If you want to break this magic, you must find the [Mist Stone] that emits it, break it into pieces, and destroy the magic circle in it. Otherwise, any All other methods are in vain.”

Constantine threw out a talisman, he snapped his fingers, and there was a sudden burst of blue light. The talisman erupted into a burst of intense burning brilliance, which allowed everyone to see clearly the tunnel ahead in an instant. But in the next second, the burning spell disappeared, and the deep darkness was like the waves rolling back, swallowing up their distant sight again.

"Look, this is the result, and you are right about one thing. If there is something special in the fog of war, it will be difficult for us to detect it when our five senses are reduced."

"Don't tell me there's some ghost or something hiding in this damn black mist that kidnapped Caitlin."

Captain Boomerang George never liked dealing with these gods and ghosts, so he couldn't help but shiver at the spot.

"Ghost? Harry doesn't like ghosts either. Little Bat, will you protect Harley?"

Harley Quinn quickly rushed to Bruce, looking pitiful as if she wanted to lean towards him.

But Bruce pushed him away expressionlessly.

"Damn it, why didn't you warn us earlier?"

Freud stepped forward and grabbed Constantine.

"Hey, hey, how do I know? I just said it's possible. Besides, if there was something in the fog, even I couldn't detect it. Don't you think it should have come out long ago? Have we killed them all?"

"Magic does have its magical side. These fogs don't seem to be composed of any known elements, but they remind me of theoretical research on dark matter."

Bruce said softly as if whispering to himself.

Although he was somewhat interested in studying these thick and strange black fogs that never dissipated, he did not have any supporting equipment at the moment, so he could only give up.

"The bug is flying again."

A slight buzzing sound sounded, and Bruce narrowed his eyes slightly, watching the pale golden beetle end its mindless wandering in place, fluttering its wings and moving forward in the darkness.

"No matter what kind of ghost place this is and what kind of monsters it hides, it's probably not that easy to kill all of us."

Freud, who looked annoyed, glared at Constantine and let go.

"Your gold bug better be useful, or else huh."

Sneered.He pointed at the opponent's head with the fully automatic wrist gun on his wrist.

"If you play any tricks, believe me, you will regret it."

Constantine spread his hands with an innocent look.

Everyone quickened their pace.

Not long after continuing to move forward, the road ahead suddenly opened up. Finally, the group did not encounter any dangerous and weird things. The gold-seeking bug that followed Constantine safely passed through this long corridor and came to The other end of the cave.

The gold-seeking bug also stopped here for the second time, but instead of wandering in place like a headless fly like before, it was fixed in mid-air, floating up and down and no longer moving.

"here is"

Bruce projected the tactical flashlight forward, but suddenly a huge black shadow was revealed.

"careful!"

Others apparently noticed the same thing.

Without thinking, Captain Boomerang pulled out an explosive dart from his waist and threw it straight ahead.

Constantine's pupils narrowed and he wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.

But what was unexpected was that just after the boomerang seemed to hit the target, there was a hard echo, as if it hit an extremely hard stone. The explosion that everyone imagined did not come, but instead The entire field of vision suddenly lit up, and the darkness wrapped in all directions faded like a tide in just a few breaths. In its place, it seemed as if a small sun suddenly lit up from the dome, projecting a dazzling and even dazzling light, covering the entire scene. The environment is illuminated, completely and clearly exposed to everyone's eyes.

"Occasionally buy Karma's"

Accompanied by the frozen attack preparations, there was a murmur to himself. This was the voice of the weather wizard Mark. He looked at everything displayed in front of him, and the expression on his face was almost stunned.

"here is"

Constantine looked at everything in front of him, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
