Chapter 115: Find Her!
In Naxino City, in the detective agency belonging to Cowen, she can't control her emotions because of Dick's problems, and Zatana, who is crying, is slowly adjusting her emotions. As for Dick, all he could do was to be a gentleman, hand over a few tissues, let Zatana wipe away her tears, and then do nothing, just kidding, with his experience in the Gotham flower field for so many years, how could he not see how ingenious the relationship between his partner, whose name he still can't remember, and Zatana.
Otherwise, other girls will shed tears because of their own problems, which even he can't do. While handing Zatana a tissue, Dick also praised Kewen in his heart, worthy of being his partner, this ability, has his own true heritage.
"Tell me, Dick, how many people are like us so far." Gathering her emotions, Zatana also asked Dick directly about the impact of not being able to remember Covin's name on the others.
"Well, as far as I know, we, the Justice League, and the whole world, have been affected. It's just that for ordinary people, this may just be forgetting something, and for those of us who have crossed paths with him the most, we can more or less feel the abnormality, but the Justice League is in trouble right now, and I'm sure you're aware of it. ”
Dick was also happy to see Zatana able to sort out her emotions so quickly, and when he heard Zatana ask this question, Dick also frowned, and briefly talked about his investigation during this time.
"So, it's not a matter of magic, no wonder the two of them haven't been talking to me for coffee lately, and it seems that they have noticed something wrong."
"Well, although I also know that there is magic in this world, but if you can do this thing, I think magic is just a way to play in the hands of such a guy. Wait a minute, who are you talking about? ”
Dick, who felt as if he had heard some secret, immediately became alert and asked Zatana.
"Do you want to care? But according to you, if magic is just a way to play behind the scenes, then you can still find some clues, but I'm not good at that, damn it, do you have to find that bastard? ”
Zatana, who had collected her emotions, replied to Dick again, and as she was talking to herself, a yellow page flew out of the bookshelf and fell into Zatana's hand, and at the same time, Zatana had an extra mobile phone in her hand. The yellow pages floating in the air turned automatically without wind, and a row of magic symbols appeared on the yellow pages, and Zatana watched the yellow pages turn until she stopped at one of the pages.
With a bit of disgust, he dialed a phone number that could only be seen under magic runes and turned on the speakerphone. After a long busy tone, there was a lazy voice and a little girl's voice on the other end of the phone.
"Hey, Tracy, come on, let the godfather hug you, see if you've gotten heavier lately, wait a minute, there's a call coming in, work, hey, hello, this is Constantine's Hell Detective Agency." The services you want are here, and you can unsubscribe by replying to TD. ”
A teasing tone came from the other end of the phone, making Dick on the side can't help but draw a few black lines in his head. And Zatana also held back her anger and said into her phone: "Constance soup base, it's me, Zatana." ”
Konstantin on the other end of the phone also paused after Zatana reported to his home, and the sound of footsteps was heard on the phone, and then Konstantin was heard talking to the adult.
"Rare guest, Xiaozha, is the cycle convenient, go to your house or go to my house? Hey, don't do it if you have something to say! John, you're blocking me again! ”
Before Dick could recover from Konstantin's energetic conversation, Dick saw the enraged Zatana half-cut the blade of black energy condensed into the void. And Konstantin on the other end of the phone also came with a panicked voice, mixed with another middle-aged man's angry scolding, explosions, screams, sounds into the ears, after a vent, Konstantin's weak voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Just kidding, as for being so serious, you were sixteen when I last saw you, and then your father broke my leg and threw me out of the Mage Tower, I don't know what happened to you. But to be honest, this is the first time you've contacted me since that meeting, so let's say, if you need my uncle's help? ”
"You're making a bad joke, Konstantin, you should be glad I happened to have something to do with you right now, otherwise it wouldn't have been a soul blade to greet you."
"The country is easy to change, the nature is difficult to change, I now have a goddaughter, but it's not so romantic, and there are still mouthfuls. Wait, I seem to sense someone next to you, your boyfriend? Oh, it's you kid, that's fine, no, you kid, I don't think you're missing something, I always feel like the last time I saw you, someone should have been by your side, huh? Is this what you want to ask me for? ”
Even if the person was not at the scene, Konstantin used his own method to detect Dick next to Zatana, and Konstantin, who had worked with Dick, should have had an impression of Curvin, but in the same way, Konstantin was also affected by Dr. Manhattan's memory modification and was unable to remember Curvin. It's just that for him, as long as there is a trace of abnormality in his body, with the fact that he can pit the brains of countless demons in hell, he can naturally understand some of the abnormalities.
"Well, it doesn't have to be magic, but with your means, even if you don't use magic, you can find out something."
"yes, I didn't expect that during the days when I was playing in London, there was such a fun thing on the earth except for the alien invasion, ha, I also happen to know an orangutan, he is quite good at this, so, I have time to drink tea, Xiaozha."
Konstantin still had that flowery tone, but he also agreed to Zatana's commission, and after finishing speaking, he hung up the phone. And the yellow pages that were still floating in the air just now also fell, and under the control of Zatana, they returned to their original positions. Only Dick, the melon-eating crowd, listened to the conversation between Zatana and Konstantin, frowning, although he knew that this was Zatana's double insurance, but it didn't seem to be much insurance to hand over the commission to Konstantin!
"I know what you're thinking, but now we don't have enough people on our side, although Konstantin's character was not good before. But as he said, since he had that goddaughter, his reputation in the industry has improved a little bit better than before, and his business ability has also improved. Please, there's no way out of it. ”
Zatana, who understood what Dick was thinking, also explained there, but Dick didn't know what words to use to complain about Zatana's explanation. The so-called better point is not the one that killed your whole family in the past, and it became a single seedling for you to pass on the ancestry, sustainable development! Although he had such a thought in his heart, Dick could only shut up at this time and nodded.
"Let's go, we have to find the other two, even if we want to save him and remember his name again, we must at least have the power to make a final punch."
"The other two? Who? When Zatana said this, Dick was suddenly stunned and asked rhetorically.
"Carla and Lena, who else in this city can we find? Let's go. ”
With that, Zatana raised her hand, and the portal opened in front of her, and she stepped in with her leg raised. Dick was the only one left standing in Cowen's detective office, looking at the office chair that was still empty, and then at the portal where Zatana had left, and at the tone of course that Zatana had just spoken. frowned, and he suddenly realized that his partner, who still couldn't remember his name, seemed to be better than him!
With the departure of Dick and Zatana, the detective agency belonging to Curvin has also regained its calm. Furniture enchanted by Zatana also guards the office in the owner's absence. In the air, Lucifer, the son of God, also confronted Manhattan, the quantum god, and the two did not fight, but simply stood in the void without saying a word.
"Well, it looks like your modified reality is still a bit flawed, but also, even my father can't change him while maintaining his subjective will in a life, and you're not bad. How's it going, is there a little panic as they start looking for traces of that little guy's former existence in this world? Bending over, Lucifer looked at what was happening in the city of Nacino and teased Dr. Manhattan there.
"Panic? This emotion will not appear to me, it is just an experiment, and at the moment he has only proved to me that he has a deep bond with these people, but so what, when the malice of the whole world swells towards him, you will understand that these people's bonds are nothing more than the light of fire. ”
"You can see it quite clearly, but I'm curious, since you have seen the end of everything, why are you here, don't you just tell me that you are also looking forward to a different ending? You're also thinking about how he endures the malice from all over the world, even the whole universe, and keeps himself, you can't see this, so you're curious, don't be shy, even my father, he has curiosity, you're a quantum god, it's okay. ”
Walking next to Dr. Manhattan, Lucifer was talking there like a confidant brother, and at the same time patted Dr. Manhattan on the shoulder, the entire DC universe, maybe he dared to do this. After all, the supreme God is his own Lao Tzu, and he has half the authority of his father, so it is very reasonable to take the shoulders of quantum God.
"Curiosity? I still don't understand why God needs curiosity, because he is curious about the future direction of every life he has created, but for him, isn't the life of a human being obvious, he just needs to look, just like now, in this city, I can see that the man will be unemployed, and then he will quarrel with his wife, and then he will divorce, and finally live alone.
The two of them were laughing wildly, because they won a grand prize, which was enough for them to squander the wealth of the rest of their lives, they were chic, and then they found someone to spend the rest of their lives with, and they went through their lives perfectly... I can see the trajectory of everyone's life here, they are painful, they are sad, they are happy, but what does that have to do with God, we are not connected with the joys and sorrows of human beings, curiosity, at this time, I just think they are noisy. ”
Dr. Manhattan wondered at Lucifer's action of putting his shoulders on his shoulders, staring blankly at the city beneath his feet, talking about every future he saw, each of which was not related to him. For Dr. Manhattan at this time, Lucifer could also understand the change in his mentality, and he just turned around, put his hands in his pockets, and also looked at the future of the people that Dr. Manhattan had just said.
"Yes, for us, the future of these ordinary and fragile lives is obvious. But because of this, this is interesting, because in these weak lives that we can see through the future at will, there will always be some unexpected people, and their existence makes the future not so boring, as gods, we only need to observe, and we don't need to meddle, you cross the line, friend. ”
"Are you going to go to war?"
"No, I just promised that little guy to watch you for a while, I won't do the fight, that's his job, you just give me an honest butterfly for a while."
As Lucifer spoke, at the same time, he used half of the authority of the most powerful person in the DC universe, the supreme God, to lock on to Dr. Manhattan at this time with infinite power. Dr. Manhattan was not shocked by Lucifer's formation, and his blank eyes looked at Zatana and Dick, who had appeared at the Lex Enterprise in Naxino, and was about to see what they were going to do in the future, when he suddenly realized that a layer of fog appeared in the future in front of him, making this future blurred.
"Huh? Your hands? Sensing that the future he was about to observe was being interfered with, Dr. Manhattan also looked at Lucifer on the side and asked.
"No, it's Dad's own father who did it, as the superstructure of this universe, the problems that money can solve are not a problem."
With a joke, Lucifer said who was interfering with Dr. Manhattan's observation of the future at this time. As a quantum god, this trick of obscuring the future he observes is not something he has never experienced before, in his universe, the smartest human in the world has done the same thing*, although in his opinion, it is just the stronger ant showing off its muscles, but in a way, he did lose to the smartest human.
"Interesting, the same trick, let me see, you guys, how far can you go."
After all, Dr. Manhattan and Dr. Lucifer also disappeared into the sky above the city of Nasino, leaving no trace, and similarly, no one could detect everything about these two great beings, and everything was still going on with the disappearance of Lucifer and Dr. Manhattan. In Metropolis, the chosen Jimmy Olsen embarks on his own bizarre adventure as the last of the alien knights.
In New York, the superhuman couple, who were frustrated by a box of videotapes, were also looking for an answer, and in the capital D.C., the White House, Mr. President, who had been visited by Batman, leaned back in his chair, looking at the night sky with a complicated face. Apocalypse, Lex Luthor, who was exiled here for some reason, also met with the new god of the new creation star, Mr. Miracle Scott, Philadelphia, and the three Greek brothers looked at Shazam, who summoned the power of thunder in the sky, and slowly raised his hand.
Similarly, in Canterlot, Corwen, who had been brainwashed by Barry Allen, who had mastered the power of the sage, and given a new identity, also woke up from his sleep. At this time, Ke Wen has completely forgotten the fact that he is a Kamen Rider, and Barry's sage power control proficiency is like mastering the speed power, and the infinite wisdom contained in the sage power is enough for Barry to weave an identity for Ke Wen without any loopholes.
There is no problem with identity, there is no problem with memory, everything is so perfect. Then, Ke Wen woke up from the bachelor apartment he rented, looked at the alarm clock placed at the bedside, and couldn't help but smile helplessly.
"It's probably not good to wake up at half past two in the middle of the night, but then again, why do I dream of transforming into some armored warrior, ouch, this dream always feels like I've really been beaten."
Ke Wen, who was talking to himself, also got out of bed, a real dream is not a good thing, because when you wake up, you will only feel sleep deprivation and headaches. Ke Wen, who was awakened by a dream, also had no sleepiness for the time being, and after getting out of bed and going to the toilet, he also poured himself a cup of hot water, looking at the quiet Central City outside the window, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
He's been in Canterlot for three years, and he's chosen because it's guarded by the world's fastest people, and the Flash will save you from any danger you encounter. And as time goes by, the city's security is getting better and better, and the Flash doesn't need to appear in Canterlot all the time, until now, seeing the Flash in Canterlot can be used as a bragging capital.
Ke Wen is very glad that he made his choice, plus a job as a photographer in a newspaper, plus some extra design private work, and his life is good, and he doesn't have to go back to inherit the family business and live that boring rich life. This is the false memory that Barry brainwashed Kewen with the power of the sage, so that Kewen can't doubt himself, and accepts his current identity as a matter of course.
After drinking the hot water in the cup, Ke Wen, who was standing outside the window and watching the night view, also felt sleepy, put down the cup, and was about to go back to Ke Wen, who was lying on the bed, subconsciously glanced at his desk, and then was stunned there.
"I did this when I was asleep, too?"
Kewen was surprised to look at the post-it notes that filled his desk, because on top of them, there was only one sentence: Find her! Find N· A! (Find her!) Find N· A! Such a preface does not match the afterword, but Ke Wen is puzzled, he wants to summarize this as the absurd act of sleepwalking when he was dreaming, but the handwriting written on the post-it note does not look like a sleepwalking person can write.
With doubts, Ke Wen took one of them down and hung it at the head of the bed, and the rest of the post-it notes were packed up by him, put them in a bag, and took them to the corridor. Looking at the fire in front of him, Ke Wen couldn't help but wonder why he burned these post-it notes, as if he was afraid that others would know about these things.
This confusion did not dissipate with these burnt post-it notes, and Ke Wen, who returned to bed, looked at the post-it note he left behind, and fell asleep again until the morning came.
Ke Wen, who woke up, washed up and made breakfast, and at the same time, he also checked every corner of his apartment, and after making sure that he didn't do anything strange after falling asleep again, he looked at the post-it note that he had left behind and pasted on the alarm clock, and then smiled.
"Ha, sure enough, I wrote it by sleepwalking, then, goodbye."
As he spoke, he crumpled the post-it note into a ball and threw it in the trash. After doing all this, Curwen picked up his camera and left the apartment, where the Settron chariot that had been summoned from the system space since Curwen entered Canterlot was parked in the parking lot. The black and blue body and the shape of the bat ears are also unique in the parking lot, and the Drive drive loaded with the AI Batman consciousness is just hanging on the steering wheel, and there is still no movement.
Skillfully opening the car door, Kewen also found an abnormality. In his car, there is also a post-it note that he just threw away, the same handwriting, according to the degree of sticking of the post-it note on the glass, Ke Wen can conclude that this post-it note has been pasted for a while.
"There's one here, too? How many pictures have I posted, and why I don't have an impression. ”
With doubts, Ke Wen started the car, left the apartment where he lived, and came to the newspaper where he is now working, and on the way to the newspaper office, because of this elusive post-it note, Ke Wen was also in a bad situation. From time to time, because I didn't pay attention, I almost had a traffic accident, and I came to the newspaper office without danger, and Ke Wen, who was a little unenergetic by this post-it note, was also there to greet his colleagues passing by.
"Good morning, Kewen, great day~"
"yes, yes, great day, as long as there are no accidents."
"Hey, Kewen, be happy, laugh, this is Canterlot~"
"Yes, yes, laugh."
Looking at the colleagues who greeted him with a smile, Ke Wen was also forced to show a smile that was more ugly than crying, and these colleagues smiled even more happily after seeing Ke Wen smile, as if Ke Wen had done something very right. And such a smile made Ke Wen, who had always been used to it before, feel false for the first time. I'm in such a bad state today, why do they still make themselves laugh?
For some reason, Ke Wen felt for the first time that the city he lived in was so unfamiliar, and these colleagues who got along day and night, they all seemed to be living with a mask, but they didn't dare to take it off. Since last night, the post-it notes he wrote down at some point, combined with the false smiles on the faces of these colleagues at this time, have made Kewen feel that the city he lives in is full of weirdness, but he has been living here for three years, why does he not feel abnormal until now?
"Kewen, what's the fuss, come, this is today's work, I'll leave it to you~"
Just when Ke Wen was distracted by these doubts, the editor-in-chief also put a document in front of Ke Wen and said with a smile. When he saw the editor-in-chief smiling at him, Ke Wen was also stunned for a few seconds, but he also smiled and looked at the document.
"It seems that Iris is in charge of this document, why did I do it?"
"Because she took maternity leave, and now you should call her Mrs. Allen, I guess she is now having breakfast at home with her husband and parents, it's good to get married~"
Listening to the emotion of the editor-in-chief, Ke Wen just took over the work of sorting out this document with a smile, but when he saw a name on this document, he was suddenly stunned. Because in this document, there is a post-it note, and it is still the sentence I saw, but the content is more fully filled, Find her! Find Nora Allen!
"Nora Allen? N· A?! ”
PS: The chapter name of the previous chapter was written incorrectly, it should have been the name of the later chapter, sorry.
