"You haven't awakened any magic power in your body at all. What power did you use to cast the Forgetting Curse?" Zha Kang asked, staring at Harley sharply.
"That's my power." Harley said with a proud smile.
Zha Kang thought for a moment and asked, "Is it the wind of nothingness?"
He thought of Asgard who suddenly disappeared and then reappeared.
Asgard lost contact and the gods lost their power, which is one of the biggest events that has happened in recent years.
If the earth hadn't gone crazy and was throwing all kinds of major events, the "Asgard Change" could even be regarded as an unprecedented event.
Although barely understood by mortals, this incident caused a sensation in magical circles that continues to this day.
The changes in Asgard are the prelude to magic debt, and magic debt is related to the future of every god and every magician, and everyone has to pay attention to it.
"Do you think you could trick the devil into coming over in the state just now?" Harley asked with a smile.
Zha Kang smiled bitterly and said: "It's like killing a chicken with a knife. The weak demons will definitely be seriously affected, but they don't have enough meat in their bodies, not enough for you to chew in one bite.
Powerful demons have a greater ability to resist the distortion of the world, especially the fifth dimension.
They will retain the most important memories.
For them, avoiding you, not responding to your call, and not being tricked by you is a valuable experience related to life, which must not be forgotten."
After a pause, he added: "Since you must see Asa, we can change the place, to my house. The success rate of summoning her in my lair is probably higher.
Then you can cover up your breath a little bit."
Gotham Queens, a dilapidated old street.
Betty's Pet Shop with a pale neon sign.
"Creak, squeak, squeak" opened the two glass doors, and the smell of cat and dog feces rushed out, causing Harry to hold his breath.
Under the dusty incandescent lamp, there was a room of about 40 square meters. There were hundreds of old iron cages placed against the wall with peeling tiles.
The cages are leaning against the wall, stacked one layer after another, high and dense, just like commercial housing in the city that can empty six wallets, or that kind of dense community.
Only one-third of the cages contain animals, whether kittens or puppies.
When a few energetic puppies saw people coming, they stood up and barked at them, while the others lay there with their heads down, not even wanting to open their eyes.
"Betty." Zha Kang called inside.
"Mr. Constantine?" an old voice asked at the stairs on the second floor.
"It's me, old Betty, you don't have to worry about me."
"Oh" Old Betty responded, dragging her slow steps, and left slowly.
"Is this your home base? Why did you choose a pet shop?" Harley asked strangely.
"You'll find out later." Zha Kang took them to the storage room behind the pet store, lifted the carpet, and revealed a small wooden door of about one square meter.
There is also a five-pointed star formation drawn on the surface of the wooden door.
After opening it, it is no surprise that there is an iron frame spiral staircase.
In the 100-square-meter basement, Harry saw more than a dozen wooden shelves, more than half of which were filled with magic props.
A wide variety of magical artifacts.
She vaguely understood why Zha Kang built his lair in the pet shop. He should have opened a pet shop above his lair.
This is Zha Kang's treasure house, which contains too many magic items, and every magic item will exude a magical atmosphere.
It is easy to be found by other mages.
The complex and numerous animal scents can effectively cover up the magic power fluctuations on magic artifacts.
"Why did you collect so many artifacts?" Harry was surprised to find that none of the magic items here were useless.
Either it contains obviously huge magic power, or it has a strange aura.
Then she thought about Zha Kang's "Wishful Compass" and the news that he had repeatedly appeared in magic ruins in recent years, competing for mysterious magic items.
He obviously collects these things intentionally.
Is the previous Spear of Destiny also hidden here?
Zha Kang glanced at her and said, "You are amazing. Since your debut, you have had many adventures. You have never lacked magic power, and you can plunder any magic power.
Even though you have so much high-quality magic power, you still haven't chosen to activate your bloodline because you don't want to leave a mark of magic power in your body and you don't want to become a slave to magic debt.
But for us ordinary mages, every drop of magic power is extremely precious.
Every magic artifact that contains magic power and whose owner disappears can become our most important source of magic power."
Harry suddenly realized that powerful magic artifacts also contain magic power. Wizards can borrow magic power from gods and demons, and naturally they can also extract the magic power from magic instruments.
"Don't be so weird! You are really powerful and noble. There is no way for me to compare with you.
I never gave up the idea of absorbing more power.
But you have so many magic artifacts, but you never use them to enhance your magic power."
Harley really feels that when it comes to "nobility", Zha Kang is far better than herself.
She is just more clever than ordinary mage, she can convert magic power into the power of blood and store it. She has not given up her ultimate desire for magic power. However, Zha Kang can control his desire, which is much more difficult than her.
"If I could be immune to magic debt like you, do you think there would be one magic artifact left in this house?" Zha Kang glanced around and said in a complicated tone.
"If you can't use it, why collect it?" Harley asked doubtfully.
Zha Kang raised his chin slightly, "Not everyone can resist the temptation of magic like me. I want to prevent other mages from using these powers to do evil and cause cholera in the world."
Harry sarcastically said: "You can resist the temptation of magic power just because you are timid and afraid of being entangled in magic debt.
Does this have anything to do with "if you don't use your power to do evil, cholera will plague the world"?
I think you are simply afraid that you will be sour grapes, and you do not allow others to have the opportunity to taste sweet grapes."
Zha Kang said calmly: "Among those who want to eat sweet grapes, they are mainly the masters of the Lengyan Holy See.
Only a master who is just one step away from becoming a spiritual wizard needs a lot of magic power.
They want magic power to impact the realm of gods."
Harry's expression changed and he said seriously: "You did the right thing. Keep these magic artifacts in good storage. Don't let the evil mage use these powers to do evil and cause cholera in the world."
The masters of the Lengyan Holy See are not her mortal enemies, mainly because they are not qualified in terms of strength and scheming. However, in the early years, they also had conflicts with Harley due to the direct card to Infinite Heaven and the conflicts between several archangels.
A period of "indirect friction".
Gordon looked at Zha Kang and then at Harley. He cursed "shameless" in his heart and reminded: "We are here to summon the demon Asa and save poor Miss Alice."
"Well, that's right." Harley raised her chin to Zha Kang, motioning for him to hurry up.
"I'll help you draw a breath-hiding array first," said Zha Kang.
"No need." Harry thought, and the Wind of Nothingness and the Tears of Death flowed out from the stomach dimension at the same time.
Just one ray, aimed at her own body, and controlling her defense expertise to keep her own death within a certain level.
Zha Kang kept staring at her, a look of surprise gradually appeared on his face.
"Amazing." In the end, he gave a thumbs up and praised: "This method of concealing aura can even hide it from the Supreme Being."
He didn't waste any time after that. He stood in front of a full-length mirror and breathed a sigh of relief at the mirror.
When the mirror surface was covered with a layer of white moisture, he stretched out his finger and drew a five-pointed star on it.
"Nightmare Nurse Asa, I am John Constantine, answer my call."
It's a very sloppy and casual summoning ritual, but it fits Zha Kang's style very well.
The five-pointed star lit up with a faint silver glow, and a cloud of purple-red smoke spread in the mirror until the entire mirror turned purple-red.
The purple-red mirror ripples in circles, turning into a space door.
Then I saw a young woman in a purple nurse uniform floating out of it.
She has short blond hair to the ears, dark purple lipstick, a purple round hat with a red cross printed in the middle, a tight leather skirt that hugs her body, knee-length leather pants, bare legs, and elbow-length purple leather gloves.
, two white bandages wrapped around the gloves
Take away the hat and the cross on her chest, and she has nothing to do with the nurse in appearance.
But since she is wearing the "red cross" that proves her identity as a nurse, it means that she does regard herself as a nurse.
"Fake, Constantine, why are you looking for me in such a hurry?" The beautiful nurse opened her mouth and cursed, and then continued to speak in a pornographic tone: "I was talking to the dryad and the air fairy Sripi, and suddenly
I'll pull you over, how can I calm down? It's up to you?"
She licked her lips and said with an afterthought, "But they are both better at bed than you."
Harley can be sure that at least what Gordon said about "the corruption of life" is completely correct.
"Ahem, don't look at the joke Asa, someone wants to see you." Zha Kang looked at Harley with a smile.
Harley also removed the Wind of Nothingness and the Tears of Death from her body, and her figure and aura suddenly became particularly prominent.
"Holy shit, Witch Harley!" The female nurse's smiling face instantly distorted, and her sexy and hoarse voice also distorted into a sharp noise, "Constantine, you ungrateful, heartless bastard, betrayed me!"
As she screamed, she quickly retreated, trying to return to Limbo "behind" the mirror.
Harley didn't move or speak. She only turned on the God's force field, covering all directions.
The surface of the "Bo" mirror is like a handful of water splashes exploding, and the purple-red smoke really turns into a "mirror flower and water moon". When it dissipates, the mirror surface returns to its normal crystal clear state.
"Ah" the nightmare nurse's retreating movement was not only blocked by the mirror, but her soul seemed to have hit an invisible wall and floated directly out of Alice's body.
"Oh my God, he is indeed a monster." Gordon exclaimed.
Harley was also startled.
Although she had known that she was a demon in human skin, the fact that her true form under the skin was so terrifying was beyond her expectation.
It was a demonic dragon with three heads and four arms. The three heads looked like snakes, but they were all skinned and covered with a layer of white bones. It was extremely ferocious and terrifying.
The two "dragon teeth" in the mouth are shaped like daggers, shining with a sharp cold light.
Moreover, all three heads have long brown-red hair, and each hair is a venomous snake as thick as a finger.
"Asa, don't get excited, Harley won't hurt you, I promise!" Zha Kang shouted hurriedly.
"You bastard, this is Witch Harley, what guarantee do you have?" Nightmare Nurse cursed loudly and struggled to open the transmission channel.
It's a pity that the portal that used to work so well in the past exploded into a small magic firework as soon as it was used.
"If you keep doing this, I may not be able to guarantee you." Zha Kang said with a bitter smile.
The Nightmare Nurse still couldn't calm down, but became even more determined. One of her heads even roared at Harley: "Let me go, or you and I will die together."
Harry, who was planning to comfort it with a few words, immediately changed his mind and said, "Try it and see if the net can be broken when the fish dies."
Zha Kang's expression changed drastically and he shouted: "Farewell"
"Dark Nightmare Curse!" The three-headed demonic dragon roared with three mouths at the same time.
"Fake!" Zha Kang held his head, his expression helpless and a little frightened.
"Stab la la" golden electric arcs jumped on the three-headed dragon.
"Crack, click, click" the bones in the body of the three-headed demon dragon were twisted and deformed, and several bone blades even pierced out of the skin, making the shape even more ferocious.
The change in appearance comes from the change in the essence of its soul.
Even if she leaves Alice's body, the nightmare nurse in the form of a three-headed dragon has no "waves of demonic flames".
Well, compared to other demons, the aura of hell on it is very weak.
But at this time, after activating the "Dark Nightmare Curse" in its mouth, its magic power is full of extreme anger, corruption, violence, and depravity. ** Harley has never seen such a weird "hell magic power", but she is familiar with it.
Its scent is vaguely familiar.
"Nightmares become demons, demons transform into phantoms?" She asked in surprise: "Have you integrated multiple phantoms into your body?"
"Gudong, gudong." The nightmare nurse did not pounce on her, but stepped back step by step. The space around her turned into gray-white bubbles, as if sliding into the deep sea.
"Interesting, you can really escape from God's descent to earth." Harley took a step forward and quickly chased after him.
