In The DC World With Marvel Chat Group Chapter 1010: Is this Batman? (middle)
"The Days of Being a Spiritual Mentor in Meiman"
"I have bad news or worse news, which one do you want to hear first?" In Gotham University's cryogenic laboratory, Victor looked at Batman and asked, before Batman could answer, he He said to himself:
"The bad news is that Gotham has problems with both rainwater and drinking water, and the worse bad news is that the two problems are not the same."
Batman frowned. He looked at Victor, waiting for his conclusion. If it was before, he would definitely go to see the test results in person, or take samples to study in the Batcave, but now, he just hopes This problem can be solved with the highest efficiency, and the process does not need to be studied carefully.
"I detected a mysterious substance in the rainwater, and it doesn't belong to any component spectrum we currently know." Victor said as he walked to the experimental bench, picked up a report, and said:
"In order to study the properties of this ingredient and the special features of rainwater, my students have done many experiments and found that this ingredient will react with metals."
"What type of reaction?" Batman asked.
"It's not clear yet." Victor shook his head and said, "This kind of reaction does not exist at the level visible to the naked eye. We discovered it when we used a magnetic oscillator to observe the feedback of the magnetic field."
Hearing this, Batman seemed to think of something. He looked back at Zatana, and Zatana stepped forward and looked at Victor and said, "Can you reproduce this reaction process? This is very It may be related to magic."
Then, she explained: "For people without spiritual vision, magic is invisible. For example, I can pull a rabbit out of my top hat. You can see the top hat and the rabbit, but But I can’t see how the rabbit is transformed, even if I use a transparent top hat.”
"However, it is not completely without any traces. Most of the continuous magic reactions can be observed by humans through the magnetic field. Let some 'soul' or 'spirit' parasitize, which is the so-called ghost-recruiting physique."
"Your reaction invisible to the naked eye, under the vision of the spirit world, is likely to be showing a state of continuous magical reaction, so if you can reproduce this process, I may be able to find clues."
Seeing Zatanna's exhausted pale face, Batman moved his lips, but Clark immediately said: "Miss Zatanna, you look really tired, you really don't need to take a break Is it?"
"I'm sorry, I broke your portal. If possible, I will compensate you with all the materials. If you are injured or exhausted, you'd better go back to sleep .”
"I'm fine." Zatanna pursed her lips and shook her head and said, "Losing the portal and depleting power is nothing to me, I have received more rigorous training than this, please Believe me, in terms of magic, I am a professional, let's start now."
Batman has been looking at Zatana with his head tilted. In her stubborn expression, he saw his original self. Now he understands why Schiller said that Zatana is very similar to him four years ago.
Right now, Zatana's emotions cannot be said to be gritty, but more like excessive paranoia. In terms of magic, she must prove her professionalism, prove that she is omnipotent, and can solve all problems in the world. For the case, no matter what your state is, you can only hold on with one breath, and you will never take half a step back.
I have to admit that looking at this kind of person from the perspective of a bystander, I really have the urge to suggest that he go to a psychiatric hospital to prescribe some medicine first.
Victor just glanced at Zatana and didn't say anything. He called a few students and reproduced their previous experiment process.
In fact, it is very simple, that is, put a piece of iron in the magnetic oscillator, turn on the machine, drip rainwater, and some abnormal readings are displayed on the watch.
Clark and the students carried the buckets of rainwater together. Batman and Victor looked at the readings on the watch. While filming, she suddenly called out:
"Stop! No!"
Both Victor and Batman turned to look at her, Zatanna said: "I observed some magical reactions... yes, my inference is correct, this is a continuous magical reaction, bringing There are some dark and chaotic states... Let me see, no, no, there is something wrong with the mode of triggering the response, can you repeat it?"
The experiment was repeated again, Zatanna frowned, she conjured a screen in the air, and then wrote words and formulas in mid-air with her fingers, and said:
"Look here, the so-called continuous magic reaction, you can also understand it as a long-term activated magic circle."
Zhatana waved her finger, drew a slightly complicated pattern in mid-air, and then explained: "First, I engraved the activated end of the magic circle on an object, like this. "
The pattern she drew lighted up slowly and floated above his head. Zatanna waved her hand and said, "This is just a magic circle I wrote casually, but now, I'm going to use another kind of magic to activate it."
After finishing speaking, one of Zatanna's fingers lit up, and then said: "At this time, the effect of this magic circle is only to emit light, and the effect of the magic in my hand is only to emit light, but when the two of them A meeting..."
Zhatana moved her finger lightly, pointed at the magic wand, and a stream of light flew out. With a "hoo", a strong wind blew out from the magic circle, blowing Zatanna's long black hair , blowing behind her ear.
And, until Zatanna extinguished the magic circle, the gust of wind kept blowing and remained in a very stable state. Zatanna stretched out her hand and explained: "Look, this is continuous excitation magic, which is different from ordinary magic. difference."
"If I use ordinary magic, it's like this... Blow the wind!"
Zhatana concentrated and cast the simplest irony magic. This gust of wind blew towards Batman, blowing up the cloak behind him, but soon, the strong wind disappeared, and Batman's cloak fell off go down.
"Usually, the magic we use depends on the strength and duration of the magic we use." Zatanna is much more professional than Constantine in explaining magic. Having received the most professional academic education, he knows how to explain the principles of magic to others.
"However, if we stop the output of magic power, the magic will stop, but this is not the case with continuous reaction magic. After constructing the activated magic circle and the elements that trigger the magic circle, once the two parties meet, The magic will continue to take effect."
"If you say that, isn't continuous reaction magic much stronger than ordinary magic?" Victor asked with a frown.
"However, continuous reaction magic is much more difficult and fragile than other magics. It's not like putting the two things in place and activating them, and you can expect it to work there for a lifetime." Tanna shook her head and said: "In most cases, the continuous reaction magic cast by many magicians is very fragile, requires maintenance, and the effect is not strong. In addition, it requires a lot of investment. Now, few people will use it. Kind of magic."
After explaining the principle, Zatanna looked at the iron sheet still in the instrument and said, "The rainwater you just poured in is indeed the element used for excitation, but the metal in this machine is not correct. The excited end."
"The concept of magic is relatively vague, not as precise as scientific experiments. The excitation formula set in the rain is likely to contain metal, so although this piece of metal is not the correct excited end, it will also Some reactions with rainwater."
[In other words, reading aloud and listening to books is currently the best. Change the source and install the latest version. 】
"This shows that the correct excited end is metal, but not this type of metal. As for which type it is..." Zatanna thought for a while, and then said: "Later, I will enter the spirit world , Cast a tracking magic on the rainwater, and then, observe its critical travel route, and you should be able to determine what the excited end is."
After finishing speaking, he took a deep breath, completely disregarding his weak state, and forcibly entered the spirit world. The rainwater collected in the bucket emitted a burst of light, and then disappeared.
After a while, there was a questioning "huh?" in the air, and after a long silence, Zatanna's figure reappeared, her face became even paler, and then she took a breath, Look at Batman and say:
"I have bad news, and worse news, which one do you want to hear first?"
Batman looked at her silently, and Zatanna sighed and said: "The bad news is that the triggered end of the rain response is not a single piece of metal, but all the metals in Gotham's buildings."
Batman's face sank immediately, he stood up, looked at Zatanna intently, Zatanna also looked at him and said: "The worse news is that the nature of the entire continuous reaction magic, Worse than I thought."
"Although I have known for a long time that this magic is more inclined to evil and chaos, but what I didn't expect is that all the excited metals combine to form a larger magic circle. Indescribably complex magic, or in other words, this is no longer the category of magic."
Zhatana's face became even paler ~IndoMTL.com~ almost lost any color, she looked at the ground under her feet and said, "We are standing in the most intense darkness in this world and evil, perhaps, this is the truth of the heinous curse.”
Zhatana raised her head again, looked into Batman's eyes and said: "The rain stimulates the magic circle in the metal, and the continuous reaction magic of the magic circle in the metal forms an extremely huge vortex, which absorbs all the magic circles in the universe. The malice of the world has been absorbed in, so this place is called the place that cannot be saved..."
"So, do you have a solution?" Batman asked, looking at Zatanna.
Zatana suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere in the room became quiet. After a while, she took a deep breath and said:
"Of course, I have a way...I have a way to solve the most terrible curse in this world, otherwise. I wouldn't have come here and found you. Before I came here, I had already figured out a way .”
Batman already had a premonition of what she was going to say next, and he saw a kind of tragedy in Zatana's eyes.
The time seemed to go back to four years ago, and Batman and Zatanna opposite him were like looking in a mirror. He thought, maybe at that time, when he stood on the roof of the Wayne Building, he also revealed Had such a look.
Before Zatanna spoke, Batman said: "You don't have to sacrifice yourself, because you are not as important as you think."
Seeing Zatanna's sharp turn, Batman finally understood why Schiller always looked down on him so much.
Because now, Zatanna's downturned mouth, narrowed eyes and frowning eyebrows, how serious she is in her own feelings, is so funny and ridiculous in the eyes of bystanders.
