In the morning, golden sunlight replaces the neon lights of the city at night.

A helicopter hummed over downtown Washington, and Loya knocked on the door of a residential house next to the local record label with little Diana holding a large bucket of popcorn.

The door soon opened, and it was a nearly forty-year-old Indian male who looked at the little gentleman outside the door in surprise through the lenses of his black-rimmed glasses: "You are Mr. Loya, right, I didn't expect to be so young!" My name is Barbakis, and Mr. Mullen has told me, do you want to know the story of that crystal collection? ”

"You're a Mayan shaman?" Loya stared at each other suspiciously, while little Diana threw popcorn into her mouth, her cheeks bulging like hamsters.

"Hahaha, it's my great-great-great-great...... Grandfather, who used to be a Mayan shaman, left something that made me know about Mayan shamans. ”

Barbakis beckoned Loya and little Diana inside.

He took down an old book as thick as a briefcase from the shelves where many ancient books and antiques were displayed, spread it out on the large square desk and rummaged through it: "I remember here...... Yes, this is it. ”

Babakis flipped the ancient Mayan book to the back of the book, where it contained a detailed hand-drawn drawing of a diamond-shaped crystal, the lower end of which was enclosed by a metal ring resembling a bracelet, and several strange unknown characters were engraved on the outside of the metal ring.

"Holding a wish." The black-haired Lori, who was eating popcorn and was following closely next to Luoya, suddenly shook her whole body, and looked at the crystal inscription and muttered.

"Do you know these fonts?" Loya looked at little Diana.

Little Diana leaned close to Loya's ear and whispered, "My mother has taught that this is the word of God." ”

The Mayan shaman wrote on it. It took only a few months for this crystal gem to destroy our civilization, and the survivors buried it, hoping that it would never appear. Babakis looked at the ancient Mayan characters recorded on it, and his face was heavy:

"The ancient Mayan shaman, who was once able to communicate with the gods, recorded a name: Decharafrea Erot."

With a click, the popcorn bucket fell to the ground, and the spilled popcorn was scattered all over the ground.

Little Diana's little face turned pale, and she met Luo Ya's gaze, and said nervously as never before: "This name was also mentioned by my mother." He is the most vicious god and the god of lies, Doros Mendachus, Duke of Trickery, etc., He has always been called by many names. If He had created such a Wishing Gem, there must have been a great conspiracy and malice in this Gem! ”

"It's pretty much what I thought." Loya touched her chin.

In the DC world here, there were really gods in ancient times, and these gods were not powerful transcendent creatures, but really had the power and divine power to be connected with the nature of the world.

Therefore, as long as it is an artifact, it will inevitably involve some kind of power and mechanism.

For example, this wishing gem may not have the inexplicable power to fulfill the wishes of others at will, but it can cunningly realize wishes by making wishes, and in turn absorbing the power of the object of wishing.

Loya looked at little Diana next to her. What caused Wonder Woman to become smaller was indeed this wishing stone, but more importantly, Wonder Woman who was the wisher herself.

In other words, the real source of the power that makes Wonder Woman smaller is Wonder Woman's lost demigod power and adult memories. The Wishing Gem is just a cunning middleman who converts and deducts profits.

If Wonder Woman repents, she can cancel her wish at any time and get her powers and memories back.

Following Loya's conjecture, Babasky on the side continued to explain: "If you make a wish to the Wishing Gem, the wisher will lose his most precious thing, and the only way to reverse it can be by destroying the gem or giving up the wish himself. However, this gem came from a god and cannot be destroyed at all. ”

Little Diana looked at the wishing gemstone pattern on the ancient book in a daze. She always felt that this wishing gem was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

Luo Ya also looked at little Diana with a slight startle.

Now, everything is clear.

It's just, why did Wonder Woman make a wish to be smaller? What the hell is she running away from?

Loya thought of a possibility, one that made his heart beat violently, and he vaguely saw the scales of victory in his favor with Wonder Woman.

Even though it was only tilted a little, it still made it difficult for him to calm down.

Without waiting for Loya to think about it, the phone in his trouser pocket rang again.

Loya answered the phone, and Maren's hurried words came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Loya." I found out that the person who stole the crystal gem from the museum last night was an entrepreneur named Maxville-Lauder. ”

"Maxwell-Lauder?" Loya is not impressed, he only remembers the names of individual superheroes in the American universe, as for the name of the villain - does 'Thanos' count?

Mullen: "Maxville-Lauder, the owner of the Washington Black Gold Cooperative, contacted our Wayne branch six months ago to try to develop Cairo's oil resources together, but I refused. I saw through him a long time ago. Although he calls himself an oil tycoon, he is in fact just a TV personality who has long been in negative equity in private, but he has been selling the American dream of getting rich overnight to TV audiences. ”

But, strangely, overnight he really became an oil tycoon! Now, I still came to the door to continue to cooperate with our Wayne branch. The employees of Wayne's branch seem to be crazy and don't listen to my instructions at all! ”

"Mr. Loya, I know I'm talking like a madman now, but I'm not crazy! Believe me, it's the world that's crazy! ”

Mullen's words were extremely flustered and hurried, he felt that the world was so ridiculous, that a TV crook turned into a real oil tycoon overnight, and was able to directly command all the employees and security personnel of the Wayne Group branch!

Luo Ya listened to Mullen's flustered words, his little face was very calm, and after knowing the power of the Wishing Gem, he also became strange.

Apparently, Lauder took advantage of the power of the Wishing Gem.

And depending on the situation, the other party has more than one wish. Either that, Lauder used someone else to make a wish for him. Either that, Lauder's own wish became the Wishing Stone itself.

Loya groaned for a moment and said, "Maren, I believe in you. Listen, if you meet Lauder, it's important to remember not to make any requests or wishes to the other person. I'll soon go over and join you. ”

"Okay, I see, you need to be safe too!" Mullen, who was still at the Wayne branch, hung up the phone worriedly.

Luo Ya put away her phone, her eyes flickering.

He knew that the Wishing Stone, an evil god item with a cunning mechanism, would inevitably cause turmoil in this world if it was stolen and lost, but he didn't expect this extraordinary turmoil to implicate the Wayne family so quickly.

Should we say, is Wayne Group making a big move?

Loya doesn't intend to sit still, and Lauder, who gets the Wishing Stone, is reckless, and he may make a negative wish that involves his name at any time.

At that time, if he wants to stop it, it will be too late.

Suddenly, two soft little hands reached out from the side and grabbed Luo Ya's right hand hard: "Luo Ya." ”

Luo Ya looked sideways, and little Diana was looking at him firmly, like a hot-blooded female warrior, and said vigorously: "Don't worry, no matter what happens, I will protect you!" ”

Loya was silent, and now there were two options before his eyes.

First, personally solve the extraordinary events caused by the Wishing Stone.

Second, immediately tell little Diana the truth, wake up the real her, and let Wonder Woman solve this extraordinary incident.
