255. Professional temptation, the agreement of the gods

While Diana didn't mention the succubus's brother at all, Roy wasn't very surprised.

Because Brother Succubus is an original character in the movie.

In the comics, the succubus does not have an older brother.

After listening to Diana's story, Roy said slowly:

"Assuming that Barbara really came here to seal the clay figurines of the succubus, then someone must have instructed her behind her back."

"I don't think she, who was imprisoned in Bellieve Prison, knew about the existence of the succubus, and that the terracotta figurines that sealed the succubus were donated to the museum."

Diana nodded and replied with an approving expression:

"That's what I thought, too."

"When Barbara wakes up, I'll ask her in a mantra lasso."

Speaking of this, Diana suddenly remembered something and looked at Roy with a frown.

Subsequently, he continued:

"You're a little too ruthless, Barbara is not only unconscious now, but she also has severe comminuted fractures and internal bleeding, and is now being resuscitated in the emergency room of the hospital."

"Really?"

"Then it seems that I overestimated her physique a little."

Roy said with a nonchalant expression.

In his opinion, he didn't kill the leopard girl Barbara on the spot, and he was already merciful.

If he had followed his old style, Barbara would have gone to Hell to talk to Lucifer by now.

After seeing Roy's indifferent expression, Diana sighed helplessly.

Although Roy didn't do as much evil as other supervillains, his methods were still a little too tough for Diana.

Although Diana didn't know how far Roy's strength had reached, she was sure of one thing, that is, Roy's strength would not be weaker than her, or even much stronger than her.

This also means that Roy could have stopped Barbara in a softer way if he wanted to, rather than punching Barbara badly.

"I'll contact you again once I've figured out who is behind Barbara."

Diana said to Roy.

"Okay."

Roy nodded back.

Knowing that Barbara's purpose was to seal the succubus's terracotta figurine, Roy and Serena leave the museum.

While there was a lot of work to take care of, it was all Diana had to worry about.

Hotel.

Presidential Suite.

After coming out of the museum, Roy and Selina made a beeline back to the hotel.

This sudden hiccup made them temporarily lose interest in experiencing the local customs of the metropolis.

Living room.

Roy and Selina sat on the couch, chatting without a word.

The TV in the living room is showing news reports on the museum's case.

"If that succubus is released, will it be troublesome?"

Selina asked suddenly.

"There's definitely a little bit of trouble, but it shouldn't be too big."

Roy replied.

For ordinary people, the succubus is indeed similar to the gods of myths and legends, with all kinds of incredible superpowers.

But in the DC Universe, the Succubus is just a supervillain who is not very powerful.

The succubus in the movie can even deal with the suicide squad.

Even in the comics, the strength of the succubus is not particularly tricky.

If Roy remembers correctly, during the Flashpoint Event, the Succubus was easily killed by Superman who fell from the sky.

"If she is indeed released, will you assist Diana in dealing with her?"

Selina continued.

"I guess so."

Roy replied with some uncertainty.

While the Succubus is the undisputed supervillain, he's not the kind of superhero with a strong sense of justice.

If the succubus doesn't take the initiative to provoke him, he won't take the initiative to deal with the succubus.

Of course, if Diana invited him to deal with the succubus together, for Diana's sake, he would not refuse.

"I don't think Metropolis is much safer than Gotham right now."

"Although there are many fewer vicious cases in the metropolis than in Gotham, and there are superhuman people and Diana to protect them, the probability of transhuman criminals appearing in most of them is much higher than that of Gotham."

Selina said with a frown.

"It's normal, you can think of superheroes and supervillains as two levels of a magnet."

"Powerful superheroes attract powerful supervillains."

"From a certain point of view, superheroes and supervillains are like two sides of the same coin."

Roy said slowly.

While this may seem unreasonable, it's just the way it is.

The reason is simple, because weak supervillains don't dare to take the initiative to provoke powerful superheroes.

Supervillains are not good people, but they are not idiots and will not provoke enemies they can't deal with for no reason.

Especially if you already know that the other person exists.

At night.

Roy and Selina had just finished a heated argument when they lay on their bed in the bedroom chatting.

Just then, Serena's cell phone rang.

After seeing the caller number, Selina handed the phone directly to Roy.

"Diana called."

Selina said to Roy.

"Hmm."

Roy took the phone and pressed the connect button.

Before he could speak, Diana's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Barbara is awake, do you want to come with me to the hospital?"

"No, just tell me the truth when you ask for the truth."

Roy replied.

"Good!"

After saying that, Diana hung up the phone directly.

"Aren't you going?"

Selina asked, confused.

"Why should I go?"

Roy asked rhetorically.

"I thought you'd be interested in the mastermind behind Barbara."

Selina said quickly.

"There's a little bit of interest, but only a little bit."

"Besides, instead of going to the hospital to see Diana ask for the truth with a lasso of truth, I would rather stay and continue the second round of debate with you."

"I don't think you're right."

Roy said with a smile.

After hearing his words, Selina raised her eyebrows and said defiantly:

"yes, I don't think you can convince me."

"I'll tell you the answer with action."

With that, Roy rolled over and pressed against Selena's extremely seductive body.

Soon, the two of them were arguing fiercely in the bedroom.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, more than an hour passed.

After the second debate, Selina lay on the bed with no strength, leaning on Roy's shoulder, unable to say a word.

Unlike Selena, Roy is still full of energy and doesn't feel tired at all.

He stroked Serena's knife-like jade shoulder as he picked up Serena's turned off phone.

While they were still debating, Diana made several phone calls.

Although they knew that it was Diana calling, neither Roy nor Selina had any intention of interrupting the debate.

In order not to be disturbed by the ringtone of his mobile phone, Roy directly turned off his mobile phone.

As soon as the phone was turned back on, I received several missed call notification texts and messages from Diana.

Glancing at the text message from Diana, Roy frowned slightly.

"Things weren't going very well on Diana's side, she didn't ask who was behind Barbara, she asked me out to talk about what's next."

"You go to sleep first, you don't have to wait for me."

Roy said to Selina.

"Uh-huh!"

Selina replied softly.

After a gentle kiss on Serena's cheek, Roy began to get up and get dressed.

After dressing it and going to the bedroom to tidy up his image, he mobilized the power of the stars in his body and left the presidential suite in a flash.

He didn't flash to Barbara's hospital, but to the roof of the hotel.

"I'm sorry I took the time to take care of some personal matters."

As soon as he reached the roof of the hotel, he saw Diana.

Although Diana had just gone to the hospital to ask Barbara, she did not change into a Wonder Woman uniform, but wore everyday clothes.

"The mastermind behind Barbara is hiding deeper than I thought, do you have any good advice?"

Diana asked bluntly.

"If Barbara doesn't know who is behind it, then it can only start with how Barbara escaped from prison."

Roy said quickly.

"I asked Barbara just now, and she doesn't know how she came out."

"When she woke up, she found that she was no longer in prison."

Then she found a printout of a letter and a picture of the figurine.

"The letter didn't say anything about the succubus, just asked her to go to the museum and snatch the terracotta figurines out."

Diana said with a frown.

She thought that she could easily figure out the truth of the matter with the lasso of mantra, but it turned out that this time things were much more complicated than she had imagined.

In other words, the person who instructed Barbara to go to the museum to rob the terracotta figurines had already taken into account the existence of the Lasso of Shingrum.

Otherwise, the instigators behind it would not have made such an arrangement.

"Barbara isn't the kind of person who would be obedient, right?"

"How did you threaten her in the letter?"

Roy continued.

He didn't think Barbara would be so obedient as the letter asked.

Even if the letter was left behind by the person who rescued Barbara from prison, Barbara would not have the idea of repaying the favor.

"The letter said that if Barbara didn't do it, she would be deprived of her supernatural abilities."

Depriving the Leopard Girl of her supernatural abilities?

After hearing Diana's answer, Roy frowned slightly.

Although he knew that Barbara's supernatural abilities were given by the gods, there was a possibility that they would be taken away.

But the only way to do this is to give Barbara's gods extraordinary abilities.

"That...... How did Barbara get to where she is? ”

Roy decides to find out if it's the ancient African god Urtzkartaga or the Cheetah goddess of the Seon tribe who has given Barbara her extraordinary powers.

"While Barbara was researching a ruin on the African continent, she found a god-killing blade possessed by the goddess Cheetah."

"At the time, she didn't know what the Godkiller Blade was all about."

"Just as she was about to leave with the Godkiller Blade, the expedition was attacked by an unidentified force."

"In the process of escaping, Barbara was scratched by the god-killing blade, and then she gained the extraordinary abilities bestowed by the goddess cheetah."

Diana recalled for a moment and said slowly.

After listening to Diana's story, Roy frowned slightly.

Although Barbara, like in the comics, received the extraordinary ability granted by the cheetah goddess because of the god-killing blade.

But it's clear that Barbara's journey to attaining supernatural abilities is completely different from what she used in the comics.

In the comics, Barbara stole the God-Killing Blade from the storage room of the Celestial Eye Society's magic artifact, and then pierced the chest with the God-killing Blade to obtain the extraordinary ability bestowed by the Cheetah Goddess.

"I don't know much about the gods and goddesses of cheetah."

"But as far as I know, if you want to deprive the gods of their extraordinary abilities, only the gods themselves can do it."

"The one who helped Barbara escape from prison and asked her to snatch the terracotta figurines would definitely not be the cheetah goddess herself."

"I don't think the cheetah goddess will be boring to this extent."

Roy said slowly.

"It is absolutely impossible for Barbara to escape from prison to be the cheetah goddess, the gods cannot meddle in the affairs of the world at will, this is an agreement between the gods."

Diana said quickly.

"There's only one way left now, and that's to go to the warden of Bellev Prison and ask what the hell is going on."

"A criminal who was supposed to be a prisoner has inexplicably escaped from prison, and the warden must be held accountable for this."

"By the way, Amanda Waller, the warden of Belleaf Prison, brought someone to me yesterday to ask me and Serena to leave the Metropolis as soon as possible, and I ignored her."

After hearing Roy's words, Diana frowned slightly.

She knew that Amanda Waller was the official plenipotentiary agent for transhuman affairs in the Pretty Nation, and that she was also the warden of Bellev Prison and one of the commanders of the Celestial Eye Society.

But she didn't expect that Amanda Waller would actually take the initiative to find Roy, and also asked Roy and Selina to leave the Met as soon as possible.

After a few seconds of silence, she turned to Roy and asked:

"Is it convenient for you to leave the hotel now?"

"I know where Amanda Waller lives, if it's convenient for you, would you like to go with you?"

"No problem, I've already told Selina to let her go to bed first."

Roy replied.

"Okay, then we'll go over now."

After saying that, Diana, dressed in her regular clothes, flew up first and flew towards Amanda Waller's residence.

Roy followed him and followed Diana out of the hotel.

As an official official of the government of the beautiful country, Amanda Waller has a very good luxury accommodation in the metropolis.

Although she doesn't live in a scenic and quiet suburb like other wealthy people, she has a large luxury apartment in the city center.

"Do you need a change of clothes?"

Roy asked Diana.

"No, Amanda knows who I really am."

Diana replied quickly.

"Okay."

Although Diana is also very attractive in her current outfit, Roy still prefers Diana to dress up in Wonder Woman.

If nothing else, at least there is more "professional" temptation.

Soon, Roy and Diana are in the sky above Amanda Waller's apartment.

Without any hesitation, Diana landed first on the huge viewing balcony outside the apartment.

When Diana landed, Roy landed unhurriedly on the balcony.

On the surface, Amanda Waller's apartment is a luxury apartment with an astonishing price tag.

But in reality, the apartment has security measures comparable to those of official agencies such as the Homeland Security Agency and the Pentagon.
