Chapter 311: The Awakening Plan
"What's wrong?" Zatanna asked. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"There's a little square missing." Zorro pointed to the real-time three-dimensional structure diagram and said in a deep voice, "That's one of my special labs, and there was a person who had harmed me in house arrest. Well, the other lab, here, used to hold another person, but now they're gone. ”
Naturally, Zatana didn't say anything like "Didn't you say how powerful your secret base is", but she didn't say anything to comfort him, just held his arm and squeezed it gently, expressing the meaning of "with you".
Zatanna's move succeeded in subduing Zorro's anger and worry. Zorro also patted her hand lightly, reassuring her, and pressed his hand against the wall again. In the next moment, the real-time 3D structure diagram disappeared, and the "door" on the wall, which had formed a fixed texture, changed again, and the same bright blue polyline swam according to a certain setting, and a new texture was constructed at this time.
"This means that the door has been changed, no, the corresponding room after the door has been changed?" Zatanna asked curiously.
Zorro nodded: "Originally, I planned to go directly to one of the experimental rooms, but now, let's go to the living room and take a look at Aoira." I'm a little worried about her anymore. ”
Next, Zatanna also learned some about Aoira's past from Zorro. In fact, she had known about Aoira's existence from Sarah of the League of Assassins, but she hadn't remembered it for a while. Now Zorro has not denied it, nor has he concealed Kwai Ra's relationship with him, which makes Zatanna a little aggrieved and a little appreciative.
In addition, she was also a little cautious about Aoira, wanting to observe the other party up close. However, this little bit of caution disappeared after seeing Aoira.
She ...... She is the purest soul I have ever met. Zatanna couldn't help but sigh.
As a magician, Zatana didn't go out of her way to learn spells such as sensing souls, but that didn't prevent her from having a good view of Kwai Ra's soul. It was a very special feeling, and it was reflected directly in Zatanna's mind.
In contrast, Zorro is not so impressed.
At this time, Aoi frowned slightly, and lay on the bed with her eyes closed, looking like she was just asleep. But in fact, she is in a passive state of consciousness falling asleep and her body protecting itself. Applying the computer aspect, she's in safe mode? Okay, that's not a good metaphor, but don't forget, she's a being born in the electronic world and brought to the real world by the Philosopher's Stone. Although it is said that she has had all kinds of magical manifestations in the electronic world, and is even considered to be the most perfect life form, it is the first and only one of this kind of life form after all, and what special reaction she has after entering the real world, she can not be said clearly before she sleeps.
At least now Zorro doesn't quite understand the details. However, he had a guess that Aoi La would fall into her current state, probably because she had done some kind of physical activity before, and she was overdrawn all of a sudden. This kind of physical activity is probably a battle, and that battle, if there is no accident, was brought by Talia Ogu and the blackened Bruce Wayne.
Again, it's likely that these two people are the reason why a part of the underground base is missing.
After learning of this from Zorro, Zatanna also fell silent. She didn't know much about the underground base, which meant that it seemed a pity that such a special place was missing, and that's all. But a person with such a pure soul like Aoi Ra is in a state where he doesn't know when he will wake up, and if he is like a vegetative person, "pity" is no longer enough to describe it. In addition, Zatanna is also a little worried about the impact of this incident on Zorro. It's up to him to deal with the conspiracy on Talia's side, and the people of Gotham are still waiting to be saved!
It's just that...... Honestly, stopping the plot of Talia and the blackened version of Bruce Wayne is imminent, but what is more important to Zorro is the situation at the underground base and, most importantly, the safety of Kwai Ra. Unsure of her specific situation, Zorro made a decision, and then said something to Zatanna that was a little difficult for the latter to accept at first.
"Zatana, would you search for someone's memories for magic? It is best to take effect even if the person is unconscious. ”
Hearing Zorro's question, Zatanna's face darkened suddenly.
"I think now is the time to try to find a way to wake up as much as possible - I can try something in this regard, rather than planning to use her last use, or thinking about how to reduce the damage or something!"
Zatanna had a point, and Zorro was speechless. But......
"You misunderstood me." He said with a little excitement, "I asked you to search her memories, not to take advantage of her last value to steal her secrets or anything. I'm not going to do this to the people around me! ”
Zatanna's face softened a lot: "Then what do you mean?" ”
Zorro said, "I once asked Aoi to hide something. Such something should allow her to huifuguolai, but only she knows where to hide. So ......"
"That thing is the Philosopher's Stone?"
"Yes."
At this point, Zatanna nodded, then shook her head again
"I'll accept your argument for the time being." She said. "But you don't know, reading memory, which is a more offensive functional magic, generally has varying degrees of damage to the target. Some of these damages are temporary, while others are indeed permanent. And for a target like Aoi Ra who casts a spell involving the brain, the damage is likely to be even greater. ”
Zorro wasn't too worried about this: "Don't worry, Kwai La is different from ordinary people. Maybe you also feel it, her soul is very pure and, well, condensed. I don't think it would have had an irreversible effect on her soul of her calibre if it was just memory magic, right? ”
Zatanna thought for a moment: "Probably not. ”
"That's good. As long as her soul is okay, no matter how much damage her body takes, the Philosopher's Stone can save her. ”
Zorro's words reminded Zatanna of the legends about the Philosopher's Stone.
"Perhaps, but I'm still not reassured." She frowned and said, "I'll try it my way first." It's really not going to work, let's go that step again. ”
Zorro could only agree.
As a result, after Zatanna's magic that worked very well on ordinary people failed one by one on Aoira, she had no choice but to help Zorro read Aoira's memories and find out where the Philosopher's Stone was kept. And Zorro then used the Philosopher's Stone to use the most simple and crude method - to stuff the Philosopher's Stone into Kwai Ra's body, so that the Philosopher's Stone automatically repaired Kwai Ra's body. Then, Aoi finally woke up.
And the price Zorro paid was that the last philosopher's stone in his hand was also used up.
(P.S.: Confession, it's the sixth day of the business trip, and I'm running out of manuscripts again, so I'm taking a leave of absence.) There will be a chapter for each day today and tomorrow, and I will find an opportunity to make up for it in a few days. Also, Gotham Roll should be over in a few days. The main content of the next volume is tentatively set for superpowers! )
