Evening.

Azu sits on a hovering car overlooking the whole of Kandak.

He appears as a soldier of the International Gang, and does not have to worry about arousing suspicion.

In the evening in Kandak City, the sun shines through the clouds and gently sprinkles on the ancient buildings, bringing a touch of warmth to the city.

Located between Egypt and Israel, Kandaq is a city steeped in history and culture.

The streets and alleys of Kandak are full of buildings of various styles.

Ancient stone buildings stand in every corner of the city, telling the history of the city.

The exterior of these buildings is plain and solemn, as if they are an open history book that immerses people in it.

Next to these old buildings, modern high-rise buildings rise from the ground, creating a striking contrast.

The exterior of these high-rise buildings is sleek and modern, with a modern urban vibe.

Ancient and modern, historical and trendy culture come together in an ingenious way.

Azu knows that Kandaq is actually a fictional city like Marvel's Wakanda.

But in this universe, it is reality.

As he passed through the sky, Azu saw that in the square in the center of the city, people gathered to exchange their lives with each other.

Vendors sell a variety of authentic delicacies, and the aroma is overflowing.

Here, you can taste a variety of traditional Kandak dishes, such as roast lamb, bean paste cakes and mint tea.

The food seems to have come from Egypt.

On the other side of the square, dancers dressed in traditional costumes dance to the accompaniment of music, which is both classical elegance and modern enthusiasm, and the music is a strange Israeli folklore.

The city's architecture, food, and dancing all have a unique charm.

Kandak has managed to blend elements of ancient and modern cultures to form its own unique style.

To be honest, Azu quite likes the city and is even willing to spend a vacation here.

But alas, now he doesn't have time.

As the car passed by the rooftop of a building, Azu jumped down and landed lightly.

By the time he hit the ground, his face had changed.

This time instead of using 'Reality Warping', Transfiguration was used, and he became a native of Kandak City.

With the ability to 'information field' and 'magnitude brain', he has even learned the local language.

Azu just waited.

When the sun was completely out of sight at sunset, he smiled slightly, took out the Dark Book from his inventory, and flipped to the page of 'Exorcising the Undead'.

The motifs on this page of the spellbook are full of elements of horror, absurdity, and darkness.

The whole pattern is based on black, which gives a feeling of oppression and heaviness.

At the center of the pattern is a huge skull with flames burning in its eye sockets, as if it wants to devour all life.

The skull's mouth was wide open, revealing a row of sharp teeth.

Around it, there were circles of undead, their bodies rotting and their faces with painful and hideous expressions.

These undead still hold swords and daggers in their hands, as if they want to vent their grievances on the living.

Outside the undead are strange creatures whose bodies are twisted and deformed, as if affected by the forces of darkness.

Some of these creatures are giant spiders, some are multi-legged centipedes, and some are winged bats. They flutter around the undead, as if they are cheering on the dark forces.

At the edge of the entire pattern are mysterious runes that shimmer with black light, as if they want to devour all life.

These runes are the language of the dark forces, conveying an aura of terror and evil.

Azu reached out and pressed on the page of the magic book, activating the 'Dark Divine Book' and releasing the magic.

A circle of invisible magic fluctuations spread out, and he didn't know if it was because Azu had the authority of 'death', he could feel that the scope of this circle of fluctuations was amazingly large.

It actually enveloped the entire Kandak City, and there was still room for it.

A moment later.

Under the cover of night, a group of undead quietly emerges from the graves and cemeteries.

They did not cause panic and did not attract attention, and just quietly appeared in the city.

The behavior of these undead is strange, absurd, funny, eerie, and secretive.

They roam the streets of the city, sometimes appearing in front of passers-by, making surprising movements, and then disappearing in an instant.

Some undead will mimic human behavior, sitting on park benches, watching people passing by, or standing on the side of the road waiting for a bus.

There are also undead spirits who perform strange behaviors, knocking on people's doors or bursting with strange laughter that humans can't hear in the streets.

Some of the undead appear in the streets, silently following pedestrians, mimicking their movements and expressions.

There are also undead spirits who appear in public places, sitting on benches, lying on tables, and even lying on the ground.

Their movements are very stiff, as if they are not yet adapted to the world they were living in.

Some of the undead also perform bizarre behaviors, rolling on the ground and hitting their heads with objects in their hands.

They are even present in people's homes.

Sleeping in the owner's bed, cooking in the kitchen, watching TV in the living room.

It seems that he wants to re-experience his life before he was born.

The behavior of these undead is confusing, but it's a good thing humans can't see them, otherwise the whole Kandak would have to fry.

Azu snapped the [Dark Divine Book] shut, but did not put it away, and using this artifact and the authority of his own [Death], he issued an order to the undead.

Suddenly, countless undead spirits became Azu's eyes, ears and eyes, and every corner of the city, no matter what was happening, could not escape Azu's eyes.

After setting up the 'Undead Surveillance Network', Azu began to think about a question.

"Now it seems that the 'crown of Shabak' is indestructible, or indestructible."

"At least, my 'brother' can't do that."

"Otherwise, I would have lost this confrontation a long time ago."

"He should have changed into Operation Amon after my invasion, in other words, even if the real Amon is not dead, the crown must have fallen into his hands."

"If that's the case, he must have tried to destroy the crown, which is the most convenient way to get a quick victory."

"It's a pity that the crown is hard to break, so the confrontation is still ongoing."

"Although I have asked the international gang to issue a quid pro quo, the 'Shabak Crown' is not in the hands of Black Adam, but it doesn't matter, I chose this kind of public broadcast to let someone in the motherland hear it."

"If he hears it, he'll check out the 'Crown of Shabak' or take it with him."

"In this way, my undead will be discovered."

"As long as the location is determined, I can manage to take it."

"As for whether Black Adam's side will push them to find the 'Crown of Shabak' because of this incident, don't mind."

"If they look for it, I can use them."

"They're going to give up, and that won't affect the big picture."

"So far, at least, so good."

"Hmm"

"Black Adam, they are indeed in the ruins of King Adunk's palace."

At the ruins of King Adunk's palace, an undead ghost passed nearby, but did not enter it due to Azu's orders.

Black Adam and Doctor Fate are both masters of magic, and ordinary people can't see the undead, but they may not be able to hide from them.

But now.

Black Adam and Hawkman are arguing fiercely about whether or not to rescue Adriana.

"I'm not comparing that lady to the whole world, life is priceless, one person's life is equal to the life of all people in the world."

"No one is more precious."

"But you can't deny that once the Shabak crown falls into the hands of the International, more people will be killed as a result."

"They, like Adriana, are innocent people, can they be sacrificed?"

"Just because of your decision?" Hawkman retorted loudly to Kos. Adam, he was righteous and stern, and he looked directly into the eyes of Black Adam without fear.

Kos. Adam responded equally loudly: "Even if this is the case, we should not just give up doing nothing." ”

"That's a mother, have you considered her son's feelings?"

"Think about it, as Adriana's son, can he do nothing and give up his mother?"

Hawkman stepped forward, and the two men almost collided together: "What about you." ”

"That kid has a reason why he can't give up, what reason do you have to be so persistent?"

"You're not really a defender, we've all seen in ancient texts, you're an avenger."

"You entered the palace in retaliation for King Adunk's assassination of your family, and you killed innocents indiscriminately."

"You've never been a hero, how did you suddenly stand up."

Kos. Adam glanced at Amon with an anxious face, then stared into Hawkman's eyes.

"You're right, I'm an avenger, I'm not a defender, I'm just using this power to avenge my family."

"My son is the hero and the defender."

"But Adonk is dead, and I have no reason for revenge."

"But the power is still there, so I think if my son were still alive, he would want me to use it to protect others."

"I confess, Adriana and Amon remind me of my wife and son."

"Back then, I didn't have the strength to protect my family."

"Now, I hope to use this power to make people not have to break up their families and wives."

"That's my reasoning."

"What about you?"

"You're not superheroes, aren't you the Justice Society?"

"If you can't even protect a family, you can't protect it."

"You think you can afford the halo of a hero, are you worthy to talk about justice?"

"Or is your justice not here, not in this country?"

"Your justice is optional, can it be flexible?"

The sharp words made Hawkman speechless, and Dr. Fate was even more embarrassed.

"Honestly, I think he's right." The Atom Crusher pointed at Kos. Adam, "Isn't the reason we set up the association to enforce justice, to resist evil, and to protect every good person in this world? ”

"Kandak is also a part of this world, isn't it worthy of our protection?"

Doctor Fate also stepped out, put his hand on Hawkman's shoulder and said, "They are right, we can't easily exchange one person for the whole world because of difficulties and dangers. ”

"Since we swore to protect the world, we must protect everyone."

"Friend, we don't make a choice, do we?"

Hawkman sighed: "Okay, let's take the 'Crown of Shabak' to replace, at most after the exchange, we will grab it back." ”

"That's fine, right?"

"And you."

Hawkman pointed at Kos. Adam: "You're going to help us get it back, or destroy that damn crown." ”

Kos. Adam smiled, then beckoned to Amon, "Where's that crown?" ”

"It's in."

Amon was stunned for a moment, and then said incredulously, "I can't remember." ”

Hawkman spread his hands: "It's good, kid, it's not advisable to drop the chain at a critical moment." ”

Doctor Fate walked over and said, "Think about it. ”

Amon closed his eyes, then shook his head: "No, I can't remember it at all." ”

"Damn."

"All I remember is that my mom gave me the crown and I put it in my backpack."

"Next up was that blonde villain killing Uncle Karim, and I don't remember what happened in between."

Kos. Adam narrowed his eyes slightly: "If you think about it again, can you be sure that it was the man who took the crown of Shabak?" ”

Amon pursed his lips and said after a moment, "I only remember that he took the backpack, but I'm not sure if there is a crown of Shabak in the backpack." ”

"Because I can't remember what happened before that."

"I can help."

Doctor Fate walked over and said, "I can peek into your memories. ”

"But you need to agree, otherwise it will affect you a lot."

Anxious to rescue his mother, Amon said without thinking, "I agree, I agree." ”

A moment later.

Amon was lying on a stone bed, Doctor Fate holding a golden helmet in his hand and pressing Amon's forehead with one hand.

From the palm of his hand, a soft golden light poured like grains of sand into the top of Amun's head.

"Relax your body, I won't hurt you."

"Now, let me see what you did before the apartment."

"Huh?"

Doctor Fate frowned and looked at Hawkman and Kos next to him. Adam a few people.

"There's weirdness."

"His memory has been altered."

Kos. Adam muttered, "Is it possible to modify the memory?" ”

Doctor Fate nodded, "Yes, like me, you can erase memories or modify them." ”

"It seems that the man may not be lying."

"He really didn't kill Karim."

"In the apartment at the time, someone else killed Karim." (End of chapter)
