Ian watched as Cersie's figure vanished before returning to the Hall of Justice.

Superheroes are cleaning up the mess.

Zatana hurried to record the marks on the ground.

When they heard the sound of someone approaching, they all looked up, saw Ian, and greeted him.

Instead of responding to his friends as usual, Ian, frowning, walked through the hall and back to his office with a steady and fast pace.

Standing in front of the window, through the glass, he could see the new high-rise buildings of the metropolis, the cars running on the highways, and the people running for their lives.

Ian's ears echoed Cersie's last words, and he tapped his finger on the windowsill a few times, then sat down in his chair, turned on his computer, found a random browser, and typed in the word "Amazon".

Tuk tuk!

No sooner had the entry popped up on the website, and before Ian could look at it, there was a knock on the door of his office.

"Please come in!"

At Ian's voice, Bruce, who had taken off his hood from Batman, walked in.

Naturally, he sat down in the chair across from Ian, crossed his hands in front of his abdomen, and said in a deep voice, "If you don't want us to know that you have something on your mind, then you shouldn't be so unusual. ”

A smile tugged at the corner of Ian's mouth, and he shook his head and said, "That's what you all think?" ”

"That's right, but they don't dare to come to you directly, so let me ask."

Bruce nodded slightly, not in a big arc, but enough to be clear: "So, Ian, what did the witch say to you?" ”

"Nothing important."

Ian had no intention of hiding it, he put his left hand on the table, five fingers kept tapping on the table, and his eyes looked up slightly: "Cersie told me that because the Apocalypse Star invaded the earth again, those old guys who were sleeping on the mysterious side woke up one after another. ”

Batman understood what he meant almost instantly: "So, those sleeping old guys will not contribute to resist the Apocalypse, but may cause problems for humanity." ”

"If Cersie hadn't lied, it wasn't possible, it was certain!"

Ian took a deep breath, a worried look on his face: "Almost all of the truly bloody people in the Old Gods died in the Ancient War, and the remaining gods have become crazy bastards with the withering of the Old God system.

Only the Amazons and Atlantis are the only ones who still retain their courage and honor. ”

"Not to mention, those old things are not selfless saints, their understanding of the world is still stuck in the era of slavery thousands of years ago, how can they bow down to the civilization created by mankind?"

Bruce didn't dwell on this question for too long, he directly prepared for battle, and asked, "So where do you think those old things will start first?" ”

"There are so many mysterious side items hidden in this world, even if it is a second, it will take years, how do I know what the old things will go crazy about."

Although Ian shook his head slightly, there was no confusion in his eyes: "But judging from Cersie's performance, there must be people who are dissatisfied with the Amazon tribe." Otherwise, how could Cersie, a witch who had been in seclusion for an unknown number of years, lock Diana as soon as she appeared. ”

He spun the pulley in his right hand, and the web page was full of news about the "agreement between Paradise Island and the United Nations", which was even more popular than Diana.

This made Ian even more certain that Cersei had been guided by someone.

He turned his computer screen to Bruce, pointed to the news entry, and said, "Looking at these news, Cersie should attack Paradise Island first even if she hates Amazon, why would she deliberately bewitch the princess of Cassnia and use her to attack Diana?"

Doesn't she know that doing so will startle the snake and make Paradise Island vigilant? ”

Bruce activated his detective brain, followed the logic pointed out by Ian, thought about it, held his chin with his right hand, and whispered, "Maybe this order can be reversed, the witch bewitched the princess first, and then discovered Diana." ”

Ian shook his head inwardly, disagreeing with the inference.

It still can't be explained how Cersie found out that Diana was in a relationship with Hecate.

You can't just watch a witch on TV and find out!

If she really had that ability, she wouldn't even know what Hekate was.

"But Cassnia is in Eastern Europe!"

Ian calmly discussed with Bruce.

He didn't say anything about the multiverse and the dark multiverse, but he pointed out the problem rather sharply.

"Yes, Eastern Europe is too far from Greece!"

Bruce nodded and said, "Cersei is like a lion with a strong sense of territory, she will never give up her safety and run under the territory of other gods. ”

He touched his chin, looked at Ian, and said cautiously: "So, there is really a black hand behind the scenes, who is manipulating people who have woken up from ancient times, and has bad intentions towards Paradise Island. The question is, what are their intentions? And you're sure it's not the Illuminati who are causing trouble. ”

"It's something we need to investigate."

Ian said to Bruce, "There are a lot of people who want to deal with us, and there are a lot of people who want to deal with Paradise Island, but there is very little overlap between the two. Now, let's make sure that this is not a conspiracy by some high-level government. ”

"You could have said it more clearly, just talk about the United States."

Bruce rolled his eyes: "I'll let Ah Fu check the relevant news by mistake, but it is impossible for such a major action to not be heard in advance." But I haven't heard anything, so you'd better not think too much. ”

"Just because you don't have their share in advance doesn't mean you won't have it afterwards."

Ian wasn't unreasonably suspicious of the U.S. government, though they were suspicious.

"Paradise Island and Atlantis, while agreeing to reach out to human society, are reluctant to settle in dollars.

Atlantis has its own industrial system, and Paradise Island doesn't need it. Do you think people in the White House will be happy to see these two huge markets emerge and be unwilling to be controlled by their own systems? ”

Bruce, of course, understands this and agrees with Ian's idea, and he does need to remind some people to watch their feet and not cross the line.

Dealing with a supernatural threat is already exhausting, and it is torture to be distracted and wrestle with the government.

"I'm going to meet a few friends and give you an answer as soon as possible."

"Don't forget, explain this to everyone and let them all be careful."

Ian nodded to Bruce and left the office with him.

He and Bruce parted ways around the corner, went to Diana's room, and knocked on the door.

The door opened, and Ian saw Rachel holding the door with both hands, looking out of the door with a wary expression.

"What are you looking at? Cersei is gone, so don't worry so much. ”

Ian touched Rachel's head, messing up the girl's hair, drawing an angry look at her.

"Ah, don't do that, it's hard to get your hair done."

"Your short hair style, what's so difficult to get, just take a comb and pull it together, don't you."

Ian walked into the room, closed the door casually, and saw Diana sitting on the couch, changing into casual clothes, but the anger on her face did not subside.

"Are you sure that disgusting witch is gone?"

Ian beckoned Rachel to sit down and told them, "At least, she won't be here now, because she won't risk knowing nothing about me to get you." ”

Diana's anger was not only at Cersie, but also at herself, she couldn't accept that she had easily fallen under the Transfiguration Spell and become a little pig, and that the entire alliance knew about it.

But she looked at Ian, instantly noticed the hesitation of the man in front of her, withdrew her attention from her anger, and asked in a low voice, "You didn't just come to me for Cersei's business?" ”

Ian nodded, and repeated his conversation with Cersie and Bruce to Diana.

"In light of this situation, I feel you should warn Queen Hippolyta about this potential threat."

In the face of greater danger, Diana instantly put aside the humiliation she had suffered, frowned and said, "Even if the gates of Paradise Island are open, my people only operate in a few cities controlled by the Alliance. Is there really the possibility of racial conflict, as you say? ”

Ian nodded: "The city we control is not completely safe, there are always all kinds of eyeliner mixed in the city. Moreover, this kind of thing does not need any clear evidence, just a flame can make the fire burn instantly. ”

"Don't expect the so-called sanity to exist, fighting for your own interests is the greatest reason. The only problem is that people don't always see where their interests lie, so they are susceptible to being influenced by their surroundings. ”

"Once someone creates such an environment in the name of Amazons, most people are not capable of contending with the whole environment. And flexible support is even more meaningless. ”

Diana was silent, she had lived through World War II, and of course she knew that the public would not care what path they were going to take in despair.

The situation in North America is not as bad as it was during World War II, but many people's lives have fallen into despair.

If someone really wants to do something about it, it's not difficult.

Even if some people in society start to make trouble, it will be enough to set off a storm for the United States, which has a population of hundreds of millions.

"How do you think Paradise Island should react?"

When Ian heard Diana ask for his opinion, he replied directly, "Do what you have to do, and then our enemies will jump out of their own patience." ”

Diana nodded heavily.

"Well, I'll go now, and warn my mother to beware of threats from the shadows."

She didn't take anything with her, just changed into her battle suit, walked straight to the teleporter, and hurried back to Paradise Island.

After Ian sends Diana away, he finds Zatana again, tells her what Cersie has left, and asks her to remember the old fellows in the mysterious side.

"I want to assess how dangerous these guys are, so that when they jump out, the members of the alliance are caught off guard."

Zatana nodded again and again, although she was concentrating on recording the information of the magic array, she still replied to Ian: "You also know the situation on the mysterious side, everyone covers their secrets to death, for fear that after others know, they will expose their weaknesses and be killed.

This is what the old guys brought with them, who not only hide their bodies, but even cast special magic on their names. Although there is a lot of information circulating in my family, I don't know if it's true or not. ”

Hearing this, Ian shook his head and said indifferently: "I will judge whether it is true or not, you just need to tell me the information you know." ”

At the end, he didn't forget to say "thank you"!

"It's a small thing, and the news doesn't matter anyway."

Satisfied, Zatana recorded the last part of the earth's information, and told Ian everything she knew.

……

West Coast, Faith City!

In the evening, in a small pub, a dozen workers who have been busy all day gather together, beer in hand, looking up at the rugby game being replayed in the bar.

Seeing that their supported team had lost, these manual workers scolded one after another, and sent cordial greetings to their relatives and ancestors for eighteen generations, centering on the players of the opposing team and the genealogical position.

During this time, saliva mixed with alcohol flew around in this small bar, mixed with the smell of sweat, which made the taste of the bar even more disgusting.

But these workers, who are busy at the docks all day, are unaware of this, and they don't care if they know it.

After a busy day, their bodies are about to fall apart, and they still care about cleanliness and hygiene, and just want to indulge in alcohol.

Bite!

After spitting out all their grievances on the occasion of rugby, they raised their beer glasses and touched each other, and then began to drink.

But just before moving on to the next topic, a thud caught their attention.

The workers turned their heads in the direction from which the sound had come and saw that at the pool table, one of their friends had been pushed down by a sturdy woman.

"You disgusting stinky man, you dare to take advantage of me."

A woman in a khaki trench coat on the outside and armor on the inside, glaring angrily, like a lion trying to eat people.

"Hey, what are you doing, let go of my friend!"

Seeing his friend pressed against the table by a woman, all the workers gathered around him with wine bottles.

The woman, who was stronger than the men, looked around at the men, who smelled of alcohol and sweat: "Your friends have done something to me and want to take advantage of me. I'm just teaching him a lesson and letting him know that there are some people not to mess with. ”

"Didn't I just touch you a few times? There will be no shortage of meat, why are you women always so hypocritical. ”

Of course, the workers at the bottom are not helping their relatives, let alone taking advantage, even if they do something even more excessive, they will only treat it as if they don't see it.

"A bunch of stinky men, rude and rude, I really don't know why the queen would want to expose Paradise Island to such a world."

"Oh, it's those primitive people in Paradise Island!"

The men said in a heckling voice, "Aren't you immigrants coming to our United States to beg for food?" As a guest, it is really unreasonable to dare to beat the host. ”

Click!

The enraged Amazon woman snapped the arm of the man below her, kicked him against the wall, and then hurried towards more men.

"I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

"Brothers, copy guys!"

"Ahh

"No, run......"

"My legs, spare my life!"

Soon, all that was left of the bar was screams.

Ten minutes later, the bloodied Amazon woman left the bar, and by the darkness of the night, she quickly disappeared without a trace.
