(I seem to have mistyped the name of the great god Osiris before...) Sins and sins, don't blame me, I really don't know much about Egyptian mythology, forgive me, everyone. ）

"Help!"

At the moment when the murmur started, Du Pengde, who was sitting in the driver's seat, heard Deadpool's screams in a trance.

He looked back at the motel with some reluctance, and it didn't seem good to just throw Deadpool there.

Despite being Deadpool's mistake in the first place, the...

"What? Do you want to accompany him? ”

Zatanna's voice sounded in the carriage, and Miss Magician said disdainfully:

"You men, you can't walk when you see beautiful women, right? If you want to accompany him, you can leave this car with me... Then you can go to death. ”

"No, I didn't, I'm not!"

Du Pengde hurriedly explained:

"I just think, we left Mr. Deadpool there, somewhat..."

"He brought it on himself."

With a hint of vengeful pleasure in Zatanna's tone, she said:

"He wouldn't have done so much if he had acted with us, he had made his mistake first, let's go, Duppon, let's go back to New York."

"Uh, okay."

Du Pengde stepped on the accelerator, and the black car quickly blended into the night.

The New York driver glanced at a picture of his wife, Geeta, who had been placed on his dashboard.

He shook his head, trying to get some of the images out of his mind.

"You're all about Princess Charvala right now, aren't you?"

Zatanna's faint voice remembered in the back seat:

"Even if you look at the picture of your wife, you can't erase the image of that woman, right? Oh, man..."

"I..."

Du Pengde was embarrassed and wanted to refute it.

But what Zatanna said was the truth, and he couldn't refute it at all.

"You can't be blamed for that."

Miss Magician said in a cold voice:

"You are just an ordinary person, in the face of a succubus like Xia Kela, the fact that you did not fall at the first time shows that you are determined."

"It takes a while for the influence of natural charm to dissipate, and you'd better live alone outside during this time... If you call out Xia Kela's name in front of your wife, then you are finished. ”

"Okay."

Du Pengde nodded.

Miss Zatanna was a little colder, and though she liked to point fingers, she was a good person.

"That sarcophagus..."

Du Pende curiously glanced at the purple sarcophagus that was placed under the back seat, and said:

"Which is?"

"What Merlin wants."

Leaning back in her chair, her eyes closed, as if she were closing her eyes, Zatanna said:

"You're also someone who followed Merlin, so I don't have to hide these things from you... Merlin is about to return to the present world, and this sarcophagus is a very important part. ”

"But there's more I can't tell you, you should understand that it's for your good."

"Well, I can understand."

Dupend, a former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, knows the importance of secrecy.

He didn't ask any more, and in the twilight he drove Miss Zatanna and the purple sarcophagus all the way to the nearest airport.

Mr. Merlin is coming back...

This news is really reassuring for someone like him who trusts Mr. Merlin.

——————————

A few hours later, as night fell, Zatana returned to New York.

She had a safe house here, a place known only to her and Icarus, in a high-end residential neighborhood in Manhattan.

Miss Magician didn't attract anyone's attention, she opened the door with the sarcophagus, but there was already someone waiting for her in this safe house.

A female angel in a black suit, sitting on a sofa with black-rimmed glasses, and a pair of black wings.

When Zatana pushed open the door, the angel, who was sitting quietly drinking coffee, turned his head and waved his hand to the surprised magician:

"Hi, Zatanna."

“？？？”

Miss Magician's eyes widened.

She asked:

"Merlin? Why are you in the body of a woman? ”

“.....”

Merlin rolled her eyes helplessly, and she said to Zatana:

"Really? This is the first question we have when we meet? ”

"I'm just curious."

Miss Magician waved her hand, and the sarcophagus suspended in the air was ushered into the room, and she closed the door and walked up to Merlin in amazement.

She circled the angel's body twice, and she said maliciously:

"Not bad... Walking down the street, there are sure to be a lot of men who will pay attention to you. ”

"Okay, I'll explain it again."

Merlin put down her coffee cup, and she said to Zatana:

"First of all, I need a body to be able to move in this world, and it has nothing to do with strength, it's just the sequelae after I cut my soul."

"The sun shines on me and it hurts me a lot..."

"Secondly, it's hard for me to find a body in the wasteland that is strong enough to hold my soul."

Merlin shrugged her shoulders as she walked over to the sarcophagus that had been placed on the ground, and said:

"Finally... This is probably the last time I borrowed Luther's body, so don't worry about it, it's pointless. ”

Merlin's fingers caressed the purple sarcophagus, and she felt the special magic contained in the sarcophagus.

She said:

"Hidden deep in the mausoleum for thousands of years, it has been specially crafted to seal any magic coffin that escapes its vitality, and this is exactly what I need..."

"But there's one final step in making it a vessel for the Bloodbone Ritual."

"What?"

Zatanna walked up to Merlin, and she asked curiously:

"It's hard to find anymore, I thought it would be enough."

"There are enough spirits for resurrection."

Merlin whispered:

"But to make sure that the resurrected body of the Blood and Bone Ritual is strong enough to carry the power of a Hell Lord, then it's still a little close... One last point. ”

"The Lord of Hell?"

Zatanna's eyes widened, she looked at Merlin, and she said:

"You're talking about you? You've tied yourself to that piece of hell? You are crazy? ”

"I have to do that."

Merlin sighed helplessly, and said:

"Without accepting it, I will not be able to leave the earth. Hell will always take back what belongs to it, and I can only live in it in order to truly walk freely in this world. ”

"This..."

Zatanna gritted her teeth and said:

"Liana told me that the battle for the King of Hell has begun, and if you become the Lord of Hell at this time, doesn't that mean..."

"Yes."

Merlin reached out and touched Zatanna's hair, and she said:

"I'm going to have to join in whether I want to or not, but it's a good thing, I can beat Mephistopheles in the name of it."

"Don't cry and lose your face."

Merlin's fingers flicked across Zatana's cheek, her fingers pointing down on the purple sarcophagus, and in the glow of magic, the beating runes were imprinted on the surface of the sarcophagus one by one.

He said:

"Come on, help."

"Oh."

Zatanna took out her drawing pen, she looked at Merlin, and she said:

"You just said that this sarcophagus still needs one last step in the blood-bearing ceremony... What do you mean? ”

"A blessing from the gods of the underworld."

Merlin Says:

"I made a deal with the god of the underworld in Egypt, and he would help us dispose of this sarcophagus and make it strong enough to carry the resurrection of a lord of hell in this world."

"Let's carve a magic pattern according to this."

Merlin projected some pulsing magic patterns into the air, and Zatana immediately picked up the drawing pen and began to engrave the ancient Egyptian eulogy on the sarcophagus.

The process was completed quickly.

After a few minutes, Merlin pulled Zatanna behind her, and she lifted her finger, and a huge amount of magic poured into the sarcophagus in front of her.

The inscribed incantations lit up one by one.

The sound of yellow sand dancing also sounded in this room.

Quicksand-like light scattered from the sky, and several dark blue flames shook in the air like ghostly fire.

The pale wind blew and blew the curtains of Zatanna's room in all directions.

"Dust to dust, dust to dust..."

Merlin chanted in ancient Egyptian script.

Soon, in the pale halo, the neighing of the horses sounded, and between the howling wind and the scattered illusions of quicksand, a ghost carriage pulled by four black horses galloped over the walls and the halos.

It is like rushing out of the underworld, like rushing to the battlefield with a roar of death.

Two guards with ancient Egyptian-style scepters and jackal crowns stood in front of the chariot of Hades, one on the left and one on the right.

They were clad in black, tattered cloaks, and a black halo swayed behind them like smoke, making them like the true Grim Reaper.

Amid the neighing of the horses, the carriage with a black halo of light stopped in front of Merlin and Zatanna.

The Guardian of Hades, riding the chariot, turned his head to look at Merlin.

Merlin looked at them as well.

She said:

"Take it back and tell Lord Osiris that I will fulfill my promise..."

"Soon, the bound Night Jackal Lady and Miss Razan will be free, and I will punish those who dare to bully the daughter of the Immortal in the name of the Immortal."

"In the name of the Raven Maharaja!"

The two Underworld guards standing on the ghost chariot nodded slowly like golems.

One of the guards jumped out of the carriage and placed the purple sarcophagus into the carriage.

Another guard waved the reins.

The carriage restarted with the neighing of the Wraith Warhorse, and it roared towards the wall, as if it would shatter it completely in the next moment, but no...

The moment it hit the wall, the ghost chariot dissipated like a shattered mist.

The light, the wind, the illusion of quicksand all disappeared in this moment.

The dancing curtains calmed down, the cold aura that originated from Hades quickly disappeared, and the frost that remained on the ground also died, as if the scene just now was just a dream that did not exist.

But the vanishing sarcophagus represents that all this is true.

"Lady Nightjackal?"

Zatana, behind Merlin, asked in a low voice:

"Who's that? Another woman you're in a relationship with? ”

"Just a poor man."

Merlin replied:

"The daughter of the god Osiris, who was expelled from Hades because of a feud with her father."

"By mistake, he was bound by the Dark Divine Book, and he could only unconditionally obey the person who held the Dark Divine Book. Speaking of which, her tragic experience has something to do with me..."

Merlin Says:

"The god Osiris asked me to solve this matter, which probably also means that the grudge is over."

"Another demigod."

Zatanna stuck out her tongue, and she said to Merlin:

"You're very good now, you can talk and laugh with the god of the underworld."

"You'd be terrified if I told you who I met yesterday, Zatana."

Merlin reached out and flicked Zatanna's nose.

She said:

"The problem with the container is solved."

"You're going to have to hurry up and think about the other materials you're going to use, Merlin."

Zatanna said to Merlin:

"The bones, blood, and flesh that need to be used in the Bloodbone Ritual are generally specific, but your situation is very special, and Icarus and I have found that you have many alternatives to this resuscitation ritual after analyzing and sorting it out."

"And most of them are stored in the Mystery Room, which is kept by Xuanlan."

She said to Merlin:

"You'll have to go there yourself."

"I gave Raven the key to the mystery house."

Merlin went to the window, she looked out the window at the night, and she said:

"Is my sister okay lately?"

"They..."

Zatanna Says:

"They're smart, they've got some information out of Horus... They should all know you're not dead by now, and maybe they're just waiting for you to reach for them. ”

"But I can't."

Merlin whispered:

"The will of hell is affecting me, and the consciousness of the Horcrux split is also affecting my will, and I can't control myself well now, and last night, I almost... I almost did something to kill him. ”

"I don't like to show them that what comes back from death is just a monster that can't control itself..."

"They won't care, Merlin."

"They don't care if they're a monster when they come back to them... I'm sure you'll never be a monster either. ”

Zatanna hugged Merlin from behind, and she whispered:

"I can understand that you're afraid of ruining your impression in their minds."

"But have you taken into account that you have been hiding them for almost 7 months, and if you continue to drag it out, it will make their inner dissatisfaction even more depressed."

"You can't unilaterally say they're good and keep it hidden."

"They need you, and you need them..."

Zatanna Says:

"It's time to meet them, Merlin, your family misses you."

"That's... Just go for it. ”

Merlin was silent for more than a dozen seconds, and she took a deep breath.

She said:

"It's up to you to arrange a meeting..."

"But I can't go to my sisters like this, arrange on the border of hell."

She turned back to Zatana and said:

"Three days, three days later, I will meet them in a remodeled form."

"In these 3 days, we have completed the Ritual of Blood and Bone!"
