Chapter 002: Magic or something is the most unscientific
It's a good thing to be able to speak. And after being asked several questions in a row without being able to say why, and at the same time, unsurprisingly, being regarded as deliberately concealing, Rhaeggar's journey to another world finally has its first destination. The 'Xi' cast a spell to trap Rhaegar and the corpse also named 'Rhaeggar', and led him to the South American branch of the Resistance.
Being a prisoner with a corpse is not too sad for Rhaegar to be a prisoner. He had more time to digest what had happened in the previous few minutes. Although he still has no vision, the mention of magic gives him an inexplicable sense of familiarity. After racking his brains - it is ridiculous that he seems to have no brains these days - thought about it for a while, and finally he thought of something, something he wanted to avoid as a child but was forced to accept it reluctantly, the superhero movies and animations that his father took him to watch, and so on. Combined with some conversations between the two women, his suspicions were confirmed.
It turned out that the name of the intellectual woman was not the Chinese 'Xi', and it should be written in English 'Z'. That's the nickname or abbreviation of 'Zatanna'. So this lady who can do magic is none other than the female superhero of DC Comics, Zatanna. After surmising Zatana, 'Dinah' was easy. The only thing in the DC world called 'Dinah' and with some kind of birdsong weapon is the Black Canary. The doppelganger of the Black Canary parallel universe and the Black Kraken and so on are not considered here. And considering that she teamed up with Zatana and her voice sounded younger, it should be Dinah Lorrell Lance from the same era, not her mother, the original Black Canary Dinah Drake.
matched all the conditions of the two women, which in turn confirmed the initial speculation: what Rhaegar traveled through seemed to be really the DC world. I just don't know if this is the comic world, or the TV series Green Arrow Extended Universe, or the grander DCEU.
And these speculations are just the beginning.
Rhaegar then thought that there really was a superhero in the DC world who was in the form of a ghost, characterized by attaching himself to others. Boston Brand, nicknamed Deadman. Well, this character is a bit out of the way, and even Rhaegar's dad hasn't seen a movie about this character, only seen it in the comics and anime.
Just as Rhaegar wants to further remember the dead man's background and abilities, and to confirm whether he is the not-so-likable superhero, Zatana's conversation with the Black Canary interrupts his rhythm. The two women mentioned that before they killed the pursuers led by Regamalik, they heard the news that Hydra had sent one of its enforcers, the Punisher, Frankcaster, to South America to take out the Resistance's sub-base...... Pay attention to the points drawn out, the Hydra, and the Punisher.
Damn, isn't that all Marvel?!
I don't mean to offend this comic book company, but if Marvel's characters and DC's characters appear in the same world, then many things can't be measured with the original eyes. Not to mention anything else, after adding Marvel's superheroes as a reference, Rhaeggar's possible identity is no longer only an option, the dead man. Unfortunately, more choices often don't mean more accurate answers. Since he was not sure about his state, Rhaegar still couldn't know his identity after crossing over for a while.
The lack of vision still had a big impact on Rhaegar though, but he knew that he and the corpse of 'Regamalik' had been locked in the most heavily guarded part of the base after Zatana and the Black Canary had taken them to the Resistance's branch base. And after about six or seven hours, Zatanna and the Black Canary came with a number of men. These people are the management of this branch base.
As a result, Rhaegar had his second conversation after coming to the New World.
As a former screenwriter who specializes in writing spy scripts, Rhaegar knows exactly what happens if he enters a secret agent camp without being trusted, especially if he himself is attached to a villain - let's just assume that Hydra is the villain. To Rhaegar's surprise, while constantly being asked all kinds of pointed questions, Zatanna turned out to be on his side.
Rhaegar could tell that it wasn't some 'good cop, bad cop' or 'red face and white face' trick, but that Zatanna really thought he had nothing to do with Hydra. When Rhaegar ignored all the questions that were thrown at him like stones and asked Zatana directly why, Zatanna said, "Magic told me. ”
Well, magic again. However, of the dozen or so people present, few believed in magic.
"Believe me, I can feel the presence of his soul." Zatanna was still trying to convince anyone but Black Canary, "From the time I brought him to the present, I have used no less than five techniques, and five times I have confirmed that he has no ill will towards us. Besides, haven't you confirmed that Regamalik is dead, so what do you suspect about him? ”
"Zatana, you probably know better than many people, sometimes death is just another -*- point. And according to our intelligence, Malik's identity is special within Hydra. I'm not surprised if he had some magic trick at disguised death. And you, Zatana, you and the Black Canary brought him to my base! ”
This is a relatively thick male voice. Rhaegar heard it, and since it sounded, at least three people around him subconsciously held their breath. If nothing else, this person is the leader of the base, or the supreme manager. It's just that this manager is obviously not good enough, not bold enough, and not affinity enough. If nothing else, there are punishers coming to deal with his base, and he also questioned Zatanna's approach, and even said it in public.
"I'm sure there's nothing on Regamalik's body that has anything to listen to or leak the coordinates here." Zatanna said lightly. The Black Canary also stood up to support her immediately: "Sir, if you still suspect that Zatanna's magic is not sufficient, then I can also guarantee that I have scientifically ruled out the threat of listening and leaking the location - even if there was one, it has been destroyed by my 'Canary Song'." ”
Canary chirping is a sonic attack released by a black canary through a collar around its neck. Like she said, if Rhaegar had, oh, if there were any of those types of spy devices on Malik's corpse, it would have been destroyed when the Black Canary broke his spine and cervical vertebrae in the first place.
"We're going to get accurate results pretty quickly." So said the top manager of the branch base. Rhaegar could tell he wasn't confident enough. "Also, if you want to keep this new friend and let us believe your magical conjectures, you can start by letting him speak honestly. Until then, every second of his life could be thrown directly into the incinerator by us. I don't think even the creatures of the magic conjecture are immune to high temperatures. ”
Zatanna didn't say anything as footsteps sounded again, just looked at Rhaegar and Regamalik in the isolation room through the transparent wall again. However, the black canary watched the manager's departure with a look of indignation, but there was nothing to be done.
