Of course Fiona knew what was going on, because this was the final decision made by the psychics in Bentiva after some discussion:

If you want to cast a curse on this person, you must first bless him and turn him into a normal person.

This logic seems unbelievable at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, it is indeed the truth.

The reason why "curse" is a curse is because it can destroy "normal" life and destroy it into "abnormal", but this rule only applies to ordinary people. It is completely inapplicable to say that the clown who is far away is almost a hundred and eight thousand miles away, because the clown is no longer a normal person.

He will not feel pain or fear when he is injured, and the closer the shadow of death is to him, the happier he will be. Ordinary people avoid the life of walking on the tip of a knife, but this person is willing to do so.All the "painful" and "unpleasant" things that normal people feel are the good things that can make him feel happy and happy in his concept.

Therefore, if he is to really feel the pain, then the curse imposed on him cannot follow the normal, ordinary logic of "what goes around, comes around".Everyone knows that lunatics cannot be measured by the standards of normal people, let alone judged and restrained by common sense.

In other words, before making him "painful", he must first be able to "perceive pain".

But it would be very troublesome to explain this kind of thing in detail, and Fiona didn't know what the purpose of this person's special call was, so she replied cautiously:

"……may be?"

Even if she is not an official employee of the Justice League, after spending so long with them, she still knows some things about them, which naturally includes Batman's "don't kill" principle, which made the sacrifice just now Fiona, who used a pillar as the raw material for cursing the clown, was a little flustered. After all, if it is rounded up, it is simply stepping on the ground with Batman's "don't kill" principle, so it is understandable that she even chooses every word when she speaks. It's up:

"But I'm sorry to ask, now even the vigilantes have to care about the health of this heinous prisoner?"

Batman knew right away that Fiona might have misunderstood something.His "don't kill" principle is just to prevent himself from crossing that line. If he, as an ordinary human being, has to do it every time, then wait until his sense of justice can no longer support him on this road. It is very dangerous when going down.

It should never be "individuals" who can judge criminals, but "judicial organs".He was using radical means to subdue the criminals. Compared with the traditional police, he was already very slanted. What is the difference in terms of it?

"Don't kill" is his bottom line, and it is also his most valuable part, because he has always known that he is a "human", not a "god". Keeping this bottom line means that he has kept his own heart and Human nature should not be defeated by the dark Gotham where there seems to be no hope forever and various criminal incidents emerging one after another.

——But this does not mean that if some people really encounter "retribution", he will save them. Batman is not a young man who only wants to maintain justice and only has black and white eyes. , he is not so pedantic.

But before that, he must know what the principle of this matter is.Only after knowing the principle, can we really know whether this is really "everything goes with evil", or is it a curse mixed with something else and completely out of personal will.

He thought so, so he said it truthfully. It can be seen that he and Fiona have successfully changed a lot of things during this period of time. What will happen to the bad temper, he will not be so confiding.Yes, that's right, something as simple as "telling the truth" that anyone seems to be able to do, is already a difficult thing at the level of heart-to-heart for Batman:

"...I'm not the kind of person who blindly follows the so-called 'don't kill' principle. If this curse comes from you, I won't take much care of it, but the premise is that it's really a curse of 'everything comes around' Not anything else."

"If this curse comes from Bentiva, what is its principle?"

When Fiona was asked this question, she subconsciously covered the microphone, and gestured to Tatyana, who was still working hard on the report beside her:

【Can I say it? 】

After all, this is a solution that all Bantiwa came up with together. Before knowing whether this solution can be disclosed to the outside world, Fiona will not easily disclose any information.

Tatiana, who was still writing quickly, didn't take this matter to heart at all. After all, this is not a particularly confidential thing, and most ordinary people with normal logic can actually figure it out.It was only after she finished nodding that she realized that she seemed to have overlooked something very important. She was so frightened that she even forgot to lower her voice, and asked directly:

"Who are you calling? God forbid, it's not Sasha!"

Fiona: ? ? ?Sasha?Who is that? ?

She thought for a while before she vaguely remembered that it seemed that Alexander, the black witch psychic who made her feel bad, had mentioned this name, and told her that he could be called that.However, Fiona is not a native Russian after all, so she doesn't feel the overly ambiguous feeling of intimacy in the aspect of "nickname".

Generally speaking, being able to call by nicknames means that the relationship between the two has reached a level that can be called "intimate". People must be close friends or closer couples. If the elders call the younger generation, it means that the younger generation must be taken special care of; and these two points are necessary and sufficient conditions for each other, that is to say, this principle is reversed. It is still true, the matter that Tatiana is worried about is not a big deal at all, and Fioshka has no intention of developing a friendship with Alexander beyond a nod.

This made the chief witch have a hard time.If the person representing the pillar of "beloved" in white witchcraft could appear in front of her, she felt that she would be able to grab that person by the collar and question from the depths of her soul:

Can you control yourself a little, my friend? !Can you take care of your own mind before the pillar of "don't kill" completely collapses? !

——But then again, if things like feelings can really be manipulated freely, then there won’t be so many people who have been troubled by it throughout the ages, and even can’t sleep at night, and don’t think about food and drink.

This communicator is a communicator produced by the Wayne Group, which is specially used for communication among members of the Justice League. Since Fiona has the emergency plan that can deal with all members of the Justice League, Wonder Woman has given her Equipped with the same set of things, it is said to be "convenient for emergency contact", and the communication effect is surprisingly good.Not to mention that Tatyana forgot to lower the volume when she was speaking there, even if she spoke in a breathy voice over there, she could still hear it vaguely here.

And it was thanks to this communicator with excellent radio effects that Tatyana's worries were transmitted to Batman's ears.There is one copy of Fiona's information in the Batcave, and one in the Justice League Watchtower, and the two files are still being updated simultaneously in real time. He naturally knows who the "Sasha" refers to, so After hearing this person's name suddenly appear in Tatyana's mouth, he suddenly felt a little unhappy, and even the expression on his face was not very good-looking.

But for this person, there is actually no difference between his "unhappy" and "happy". It is difficult for ordinary people to interpret anything else from his mask-covered face. Even Wonder Woman, who had worked with him for a while and was quite accomplished in the course "Reading Batman's Facial Expressions," could detect little more than a slight change in mood, which Zatanna had never seen before. That's even more difficult.

Even so, Zatanna still has the most basic ability to observe words and feelings. This young witch from the three holy tribes in the East really regards the words "brave and fearless" as her life creed, and she must give it to her in a down-to-earth manner. practice, so she tentatively asked:

"B, are you angry?"

——Never mind, she really made her guess right once by mistake.

Batman was noncommittal with a black face, and continued to communicate the details of the curse with Fiona over there. Seeing this, Zatanna was startled, feeling as if she had really discovered some earth-shattering super gossip:

Why is Batman angry at this moment, because of such a trivial matter?It shouldn't be.

Although it is said that the Justice League consultants have only two expressions all the year round, "I am in a bad mood now" and "I am OK now but I will be in a bad mood after a while", and very occasionally "happy" emotions-wait until this When emotions appear on his face brightly, everyone can buy lottery tickets that day, and they will definitely make a profit without losing money-but his emotional changes also have rules to follow, and the current situation like this is logically not It will and cannot make him angry.

Please, the psychic witches also need to have something to eat.If this is some kind of housekeeping skill of others, then it must not be fully told to you. If the secret is leaked so easily, then how will you make money for food in the future?

Zatanna naturally knew this too.Although it is said that the lines are separated by mountains, after doing so much homework, she is still very clear about the strange rules of the psychics themselves, and even if the mysterious and mysterious professional characterization of "psychic" is removed, If you only regard Bantiva as an ordinary team, there are some small secrets in every industry and team. If Fiona can't tell the truth, it's not a big problem.

If Batman really must know, even if Fiona has nothing to say, give Zatanna a little more time, she can also learn from the collection of the Eastern Three Saints and the records of the psychic in the Justice League. Inferring the principle of this curse, that is to say, there is no need for the dignified advisor of the Justice League and the dark knight of Gotham to chase after the little girl here.Not to mention that he was still communicating with him with such a bad face and a deadly serious tone, it wasn't scary at 01:30.

Zatanna is already very close to the truth, and her IQ and EQ really lived up to expectations, and she summed up the correct answer in the next second:

In other words, if Batman was really angry just now, he was actually not angry because of such trivial things as "not knowing the inner truth of the curse", but because of "Fiona didn't tell me the truth as soon as possible" ? !What is it all about...

……and many more.

Zatanna looked at Batman, who was still communicating with Fiona, but now he was obviously calmed down and his expression had returned to a normal state, and suddenly felt a faint feeling of fear.

There is no other reason, because Constantine also behaved like this when he chased her back then.In Constantine's own words, when he saw Zatanna appearing on the stage in a white tunic dress and a black top hat obliquely covering one eye, appearing on the stage amidst the swirling smoke and bright lights , fell in love at first sight with this magician who used irony magic.

Later, after Constantine and Zatanna founded the Justice League Dark and became independent from the Justice League, he chased Zatanna with great enthusiasm, and he made a great deal of it. , There is no "Hell Detective" who can be worthy of his name, and the members of the Justice League and the Dark Justice League even made a private bet on this, whether Constantine will succeed in chasing Zatanna in the end , the losing party will be responsible for the cumulative duty of the watchtower for a week.

In all fairness, Constantine and Zatanna are not the best couples.From the point of view of origin, Zatanna was born in the Three Saints of the East. Although she was reduced to performing magic tricks on the stage for a living, even so, when she was wearing a tight black costume and started doing magic tricks At that time, the beauty and grace that seemed to be engraved in the bones could hardly be concealed by a cheap dress; and Constantine was just an ordinary working-class magician and exorcist living in London, although he also had With the bloodline of the magic clan, this bloodline can be traced back to the time of King Arthur and Merlin, but even so, in front of the magic inheritance of the three holy clans in the East, he was still born a little shorter.

And this disparity in background is not the most unsuitable part of them.Everyone who has met Zatanna will say that she is passionate, charming, mysterious, romantic, elegant and powerful, fascinating and trustworthy. She is the kind of powerful woman that many little girls want to be when they meet; and Kang In the eyes of everyone, Standing has the same, extremely bad commonality. He is surly, paranoid and willful. When he is affected by blood and goes crazy, even his father can curse him—although he later regretted it. However, once the curse started, it could not be reversed, and could only be barely stopped. His father was still suffering from the curse until his death.Someone once commented on Constantine like this:

"You are full of lies, hypocrisy and a hard heart."

Such two people can be said to be extremely unsuitable no matter how they look at it, and even Constantine, who has never had much self-knowledge, knows it well.

——But if things like feelings could really be manipulated freely...there wouldn't be so many frustrated people in the world.

The reason why they were together later was very simple. This sloppy and lying magician briefly took off his guard in front of Zatanna, and used his magic to construct a promise for Zatanna:

"As long as you don't draw your knife on me first, I will never hurt you."

"You are the eternal light in my heart."

Any promise related to the power of the mysterious side cannot be easily broken, so magicians and psychics have become cautious and cautious in the matter of "promises". There are also many ways for the law to break the promises it once made, it just depends on whether these people are willing to put in more effort to do it.

Zatanna didn't believe it at first, until they fell under the spell, one party would forget all their feelings, and all the joy and pain would need to be borne by the other party, she watched the party Constantine would "forget" He gave it to her without hesitation, and after he chose to remember everything, he seemed to understand something.

——If you really like someone, even if the other person has forgotten you, as long as you have all the memories of this person, whether it is painful or sweet, it is enough to support a lonely and long life without a lover.

Later, when Zatanna and Constantine, who had recovered her memory, were together, the liar magician who had successfully deceived the Big Three of the Justice League with his three-inch tongue completely changed in front of her. His own species has changed from a swindling jackal that does all kinds of evil to a husky that is loyal and sticks to every step and is good at eating all kinds of magical people in various magical places—only you can’t think of it without him.

Believe it or not, Fiona was once looked at "friendly and friendly" by Constantine with a vicious "stay away from my girlfriend" eyes.

If it's not a particularly important matter, Constantine wants to get any information from Zatanna now. Constantine, who was once very vigilant and untrustworthy, wanted to stick to his house every day after chasing Zatanna By his girlfriend's side, he didn't worry that Zatanna would trick him at all. In his words, "you can give her your life."

For this reason, the vast majority of the Justice League and Justice League Dark had to work overtime for a cumulative week, and by the way mourn the bet they lost.

After comparing the performances of the two, Zatanna really became more and more frightened and resembling each other, but Batman himself didn't seem to notice this, so in order not to let the whiteness on Fiona's body prematurely The "beloved" pillar of sorcery took shape, and Zatanna wisely chose to remain silent.

If she doesn't point it out, Batman will figure it out sooner or later according to Batman's own strong logic and analysis ability. If she made it clear, if Fiona suddenly fell in love with Batman in both directions, that would be the real capitalized "unfortunate".The information revealed from Fiona's words that the pillar of "don't kill" has not completely collapsed is quite critical. No one dares to bet what will happen when more than half of the five pillars are complete. Everything can only go smoothly. its natural.

At this time, the conversation between Batman and Fiona had come to an end, and the young psychic finally showed his increasingly mature side of the "psychic witch" at the end of the conversation:

"Let's be honest, sir, 'inflicting harm on someone else' is never going to make a normal person happy."

When she speaks, she is still so gentle and gentle. No matter what language she speaks, she has an inexplicable sense of seriousness, but it makes people more able to listen. She has always relied on "psychic" to act. Finally, with complete personal will, I said something that can be said to be an in-depth analysis of myself:

"Because we are normal people, we have good moral values ​​and the bottom line of dealing with people, and human beings live in groups. It is too late to find a way to get along with each other comfortably through countless trials, so what? Will there be time to harm others for no reason? But this curse is definitely not harm. It's just evil comes around, the law is clear, that's all."

"Even if it is considered a very bad person, I must say it: because this is not 'injury', but 'retribution', so I can see this kind of person being punished under the law of heaven, I am more happy than ever .For this, I can give everything within my ability as a sacrifice for the 'curse'!"

——To be able to face one's true inner feelings, to face up to any kind of emotional changes and behaviors of one's own, and to be able to obtain the possible consequences of such behaviors through objective analysis and express them to the mouth. It's something an adult can and should do.Because mature people are not only responsible for themselves, but also responsible for their own actions, and more importantly, they are responsible for others that their actions may affect.

It can be seen from this that the little girl who used to sit there with her arms folded in the League of Assassins for a whole day has truly and truly grown up after going through so many things.This "growth" not only refers to the physical changes she has been affected by Lazarus Pool, but also refers to her mentality is gradually moving towards an adult.

Although she still looks so pale, slender and elegant, and her fighting strength is so weak that any person with the lowest fighting strength in the Justice League can hit her twenty effortlessly, but from the self-analysis just now The strength of her heart that came out was enough for her to stand shoulder to shoulder with a mature and heroic demigod like Wonder Woman.

After Batman was silent for a while, he suddenly turned the topic to a place that Fiona had never thought about:

"Then you used your 'Don't Kill' as a sacrifice? How much has this pillar collapsed now?"

Zatanna: ...Wait, B, if you really want to know this information, you can actually ask me.We can still get these things from each other, you don't need to look far away-I think you just want to talk to her, right? !

Fiona never expected that Batman would be able to guess this point. He obviously didn't show the slightest interest in and understanding of this aspect before, so why did he suddenly hit his heart.But Zatanna was still staying with Batman over there, and she didn't stop Batman from asking, which means that this question can still be answered. Taking a step back, Batman won't be that kind A person who is ready to stab his teammates in the back at any time, entrusting him with information and safety is enough to make people feel 12 points of peace of mind: "It didn't completely collapse, it was almost there."

She thought for a while, and then asked cautiously: "But sir, if you ask Zatanna directly about this question, you can also get information?"

Batman: ...forgot.unwise.

Zatanna couldn't stand it anymore, and whispered beside her:

"Caring is messing up."

When she said this, her voice was too low, and she spoke very fast, let alone Fiona on the other side of the communicator, even Batman himself next to Zatanna couldn't hear clear:

"what?"

Inexplicably, Zatanna heard from Batman's simple rhetorical question that she was about to start glowing and heating as a light bulb: ...I shouldn't be here, sorry to bother you, I'm leaving now.

However, such direct words must not be spoken out, let alone displayed, so she chose to take the communicator from Batman, and watched as she was bound in a magic cage and was about to die mentally. The clown, who couldn't even utter a complete sentence four times, asked Fiona on the communicator:

"Is there anything else you want to say to this guy? I think his life may not last until the end of the day. You should hurry up and finish while he still has the last bit of clear consciousness."

This question really stumped Fiona.

Never mind, she really wanted to say something.It's like every time after a quarrel during the day, when I think about it in bed at night, I feel that I still have a lot of things to say. It's a pity why I didn't perform well during the day. She actually regrets that she didn't do it when the clown was caught. Say something more deterrent to fight back.Now Zatanna just gave her this opportunity, so don't say it for nothing.

—But what to say?

It would be too bland and unconvincing to say, "You're just asking for it, and you deserve it"; I have to blush thoroughly first, let alone lose my momentum.After much deliberation, Fiona still chose a rather gentle statement, but in the ears of the clown whose escape plan was completely shattered, this string of gentle words was like a nail in his heart. Sprinkle salt, that's a thrill:

"Those who do evil and never give up will never be able to ascend the throne."

"Just you and your dream of being an emperor and clown will be drifting in the sea of ​​redemption for eternity!"

And just as Zatanna expected, the clown's spiritual life really didn't last until the plane landed.The body twisted into a strange shape started to breathe again after three seconds of breathlessness, followed by a new wave of torture, which was so miserable that Zatanna had to feel sorry for her. Most wonderful curse I've ever seen in my life:

"It would be great if I could also learn white witchcraft. Usually, I can use pillars to protect people. At critical moments, I can sacrifice a pillar to attack. My God, I can make money without losing money!"

However, no one expected that the curse—or the wish—was so powerful that it alarmed the new gods.

The third world is the world of mortals and gods, while the second world is the world of the old gods. After most of the old gods died out due to fighting, and the remaining old gods gradually left, the second world began The fourth world was reborn, and the gods of the new era were born here.

The moment the clown's super power took shape, it had already alarmed the new gods on the distant Apocalypse, but even the power of the new gods had been affected by him, which is enough to see how terrifying his power is. Without this curse If one sideways, this guy who takes pleasure in killing and torturing others may really become the so-called "Emperor Clown" just like the future in Fiona's brief vision.And under such extreme evil, even the strength of the Justice League can't match it, which shows how terrible this is.

However, by coincidence, the clown was kicked by this cursed power before he was about to truly "ascend the throne", and immediately kicked the guy who could almost rule the world into the dust, and then a series of rolled into the sea of ​​blood accumulated from the murders he had caused.

——What retribution.

——The biggest enemy that the wicked will face will never be the judicial organs, law enforcement agencies and vigilantes, but the murders they have caused.

At the moment when the clown's unknown life died, some new gods on Apocalypse who were affected by his "emperor" power also fell with him in the distant fourth world, including and not only Limited to Steppenwolf and Darkseid.

In fact, this kind of demise is quite ironic and black humorous. After all, some new gods have always regarded themselves as a high-level intelligent race that is superior and does not associate with ordinary humans. To know their names, and to surrender to their power, reinforces their haughty and unknowing point of view.They even thought about how to attack the earth to snatch the mother box, develop colonies, and how to develop this backward planet into a raw material extraction factory, but they were accidentally influenced by a human being, and then they were attacked by this despicable human being who could influence him. After death, they were taken together and fell into the depths of billions of stars.

At the moment when the new gods on Apocalypse fell, countless planets ushered in another day of darkness, and countless planets ushered in a new day bathed in various lights from the stars.On the distant earth that was coveted by the newly fallen gods, no one knew about this change. Half of the planet's people were still bathed in the dark night, and the other half of the planet's people were still working from five to nine. Work, study and live.

But all people living on this planet will always have life and death, crying and laughing, sleeping and waking up, and reincarnation of poverty, joy and misfortune; Living and intelligent creatures will hold better hopes for the future in every corner of the planet, in all kinds of daily life and life:

everything will get better.

As long as you firmly believe in this point, there will always be good and good things happening. It may be that someone pulls you up when you are in trouble, or it may be that the natural enemies of this race suddenly reconcile with them, or it may be like this, yet Hiding in the depths of the distant universe, the giant enemy who hadn't had time to put his ambition into practice suddenly succeeded in killing himself.

"—everything will be fine." After Fiona read a fairy tale to her orange cat as compensation for grabbing it to take a bath, she also felt that her behavior was a bit naive and ridiculous, so she might as well give it a The last box of canned tuna was a good deal, but firstly, the cat really couldn’t get any fatter, and secondly, this book was brought by the orange cat, who even opened the pages and patted the book with the cat’s paws, asking for lettuce The story of the princess followed her own cat.

She closed the fairy tale book in her hand, rubbed the soft and thick fur on the back of the orange cat that had listened patiently to her story, and said softly:

"Good night."

The orange cat flicked its tail, and the soft and long orange hair just brushed across her face, vaguely like an old and gentle elder comforting the slightly uneasy and uncomfortable because of the sudden loss of a pillar Like a little girl:

"Meow."
