"This is a trap." Bruce judged: "We are overwhelmed by the chaos on Mercury. We have sufficient evidence to prove that this chaos was caused by Circe. Once we hear the news of her death, we must send people to
investigation."
"Because as long as it is confirmed that the person who died is the real witch Circe, the crisis on Mercury will be resolved. Under the pressure of continuous passive defense, we may be eager to confirm."
"Under the premise of knowing that the other party has the ability to control minds, it is not safe to send people. It is best for one or more of us to go to the earth to check in person. Who do you think we will send?"
The others looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on Diana. Bruce nodded and said: "Diana is the best choice because she is proficient in magic and knows something about Circe. She is the easiest
The person who determines whether the witch is really dead."
"But as soon as she leaves, the magic power we finally replenished will plummet again, and the success rate of the mastermind lurking on Mercury to start causing chaos again will be much higher."
"Tune the tiger away from the mountain?"
"More than that." Bruce shook his head and said, "Diana will be isolated and helpless when she returns to Earth alone. Do you still remember the story about the goddess of magic that Diana told us before?"
Hearing what he said, everyone else frowned. Clark told Oliver in a low voice, and Bruce continued: "I suspect that the magic goddess Hecate may have awakened in advance, and her target is Diana."
The others were not stupid either. Arthur followed this train of thought and said: "If Hecate is behind it, then this may be a plan that kills two birds with one stone."
"She first caused chaos on Mercury, drawing all our energy away, and then left enough evidence on Mercury to point to Circe. While we were busy investigating, she was defending the empty Earth and took action to kill the witch Circe.
.”
"At this time, announce the death of Circe and lure Diana to investigate. Once Diana enters the earth, she will trap or kill her. In this way, she will solve two problems at once and she can still hide herself completely.
Get up and show no flaws."
"There's just one question." Clark raised a finger and questioned, "Why did she kill the witch Circe?"
"That's part of her power." Diana sighed and said, "She divided her power into five parts and gave them to five girls. It's called the Witch's Moment, and Circe is one of them."
"If you don't have to kill the opponent to recover the power, maybe Circe is also trying to get this power. In the child abuse case, didn't Circe say she was looking for a girl? She might just want to take it all before Hecate.
These powers, and this angered Hecate, and Hecate wanted to kill her."
"In other words, it is actually the goddess of magic who has been hiding in the Mercury base, not Circe? Then where did she get Circe's power... Oh, Circe's power comes from her, I almost forgot about it
Already." Oliver said as he patted his forehead.
Diana stared at the cube in her hand and nodded and said: "Indeed, the reason why the power of the witch Circe is so easy to identify is because it is different from almost all magical powers. It is a special kind of witchcraft, but it is not
Only Circe can use this power, and Hecate, the source of witchcraft power, can naturally do it too."
"In this case, we can't send Diana to investigate." Clark said: "The enemy wants us to do this, but we can't do it, and we must not let her succeed."
"But someone must investigate this case." Bruce said: "Don't forget, Lilith predicted that a tragedy would happen tonight. Circe's death can indeed be called tragic, so who made her so miserable?
Woolen cloth?"
Then they all thought of another point in Lilith's prophecy, that is, the tragedy that happened tonight would be related to Schiller.
"Do you think Schiller did this?" Oliver frowned deeply and said, "I don't think Schiller can't do this kind of thing, but why would he do it?"
"I don't understand either." Diana said: "Cersei was indeed involved in the child abuse case. This will make Professor Schiller very angry. It's not surprising that he wants to kill her. The strange thing is, how did he know that Circe was on earth and she was
How did you find Circe who can use magic and successfully kill her?"
No one can answer these questions.
Now they understand why Bruce said they must investigate, because a series of events are too coincidental.
Schiller's mental state suddenly deteriorated, and Circe died in a tragedy related to Schiller. They deduced that Hecate might have awakened in advance and was causing trouble behind the scenes.
Based on this series of coincidental events, it is not difficult to infer that Hecate may be the culprit that affected Schiller's mental state.
She made Schiller's mental state deteriorate, manipulated him to return to the earth, and used her own power as the same as Circe to help Schiller find Circe's hiding place and brutally killed her to lure Dai.
Anna returns to Earth and recovers two powers at the same time.
If Schiller were replaced by anyone in the above speculation, this reasoning would be valid.
But the problem lies in the name Schiller.
No one here believes that Schiller could be easily manipulated by Hecate.
So why and how did Schiller kill Circe?
Arthur snapped his fingers, attracting everyone's attention, and then said: "Since we all feel that Professor Schiller is unlikely to be easily manipulated, then it is very likely that all this is just him pushing the flow, regardless of what he wants to do.
It won’t hurt us anyway.”
"Then why don't we just pretend we don't know anything, continue to defend Mercury, protect Diana at the same time, and leave the stage on Earth to Schiller and that magic goddess to see what they are going to do."
When Arthur said this, Clark suddenly became enlightened. He said: "Yes, although we are all worried about Professor Schiller out of personal feelings, from a practical point of view, returning to Earth at this time is not like helping.
It's more like adding chaos, so it's better to guard Mercury, which can at least protect the safety of all teachers and students."
They all understood that Bruce's request to return to Earth to investigate was actually out of the need to protect Schiller, who was involved. Otherwise, they would not care whether Hecate killed Circe and died a good death, a wonderful death, and a screaming death.
However, Circe's death, Schiller's loss of control and the possible existence of Hecate made Schiller involved in the battle between witches. Of course, the Justice League could not care about Schiller's life and death. Naturally, they wanted to go to the earth, at least to bring Xi Le to the earth.
Bring it back.
This is morally speaking, but in fact, if Schiller participated in the fight between Hecate and Circe, the unlucky ones should be Hecate and Circe. If they return to Earth to participate in it, they may also be unlucky.
It’s not that I don’t want to help, but I have to see who is on the other side before helping.
Forget it if it was normal Schiller. Although Schiller is more serious and strict, he is good to everyone in the Justice League. He can also distinguish between friend and foe in a melee, and he will not be killed with one shot.
But now, Schiller is so delirious that he is sleepwalking. Who knows if he is killing people below. If they go there at this time, besides improving his average kill record, is there any benefit?
It's better to wait here and wait and see what happens to this bold magic goddess.
Bruce stepped forward and patted Arthur on the shoulder. If a team is full of charlatans, it will be easy to fall into the trap of matryoshka dolls. At first, I predicted your prediction.
At this time, Arthur's relatively straightforward thinking has become a precious life-saving straw. No matter how you seduce and make all kinds of calculations, I remain unmoved and have extremely high strategic ability.
So, everyone in the Justice League put aside the situation on Earth and began to focus on arranging the defense of Mercury. Bruce continued to adjust the arrangement of the cameras. Oliver and Arthur organized the students into groups to lead patrols and vigils. Clark was floating above Mercury, where
The laser would hit wherever it was wrong, while Diana strengthened the magic protection, leading Zatanna and Madam Xanadu to set up magic circles for detection everywhere, not letting go of any subtle energy fluctuations.
The violent typhoon is still raging on the east coast of the United States. Without the protection of Gotham's dark clouds, the people of Gotham have just stepped out of the scorching summer heat and suffered another typhoon disaster that only occurs once in ten years. The doors and windows of every house are closed, and almost no one can escape.
No one dares to be active at night like this.
A figure in a black suit stands in front of the attic window.
What was reflected on the glass in front of him was not Schiller's figure, but a graceful and graceful woman.
The candlelight flickered, and opposite to Schiller's pale face was Circe's face.
Schiller grinned. His face was pale, his lips were chapped, and his golden vertical pupils reflected the cold light of the night sky. This smile looked extremely evil.
"Welcome, Miss Witch, how do you feel?"
"You madman!! Madman!!! Let me out!!!"
Circe's reflection looked very sad and angry. She reached out and knocked on the glass, but it was actually just an illusion. What really trapped her was not the glass, but Schiller's spiritual world.
Everything started three hours ago.
Circe is dead.
The beastly curse she left to Schiller became her talisman. After Schiller's mental state hit rock bottom, the curse worsened to the extreme, which also meant that he and Circe almost reached the point of spiritual communication.
The last time she faked her death and escaped at the hands of the Scarlet Witch, it was not without paying a price. Her body had been completely destroyed. Although with the power of witchcraft, her soul was able to escape and be preserved, but without her body, she could do almost nothing.
She cannot move too far away from the place of her death before her body is reshaped. She has been hiding in Gotham recently, collecting materials by possessing ordinary people with her soul to reshape her body.
And just when all the remodeling work was basically completed and only the last step was left, Schiller followed the power of the curse and came to the door.
Even though Schiller's ability to move has been greatly weakened due to the curse, his body itself has the power of the previous life. After weakening, it is only equivalent to that of ordinary people. However, Circe's soul and the created body were not fully integrated. She
His strength is inferior to that of ordinary people, so he is naturally no match for Schiller.
Her almost completed body became the first flag.
She had to give up this body again and came to the ordinary person she possessed before.
These ordinary people who were possessed were not found randomly. Only those who had accepted her power could successfully possess her in a short period of time, so she found someone who had been seduced by her a long time ago and was with Williams.
A participant in child abuse cases who also found many child sacrifices for her.
First there was a man. Circe wanted to use his physical strength to fight against Schiller, but she simply could not adapt to the male body and did not know how to relieve muscle restrictions. She was quickly defeated and became the second flag.
.
Then, she thought of taking advantage of the social order, so she found a celebrity woman who was at a banquet, betting that Schiller would not dare to do it in public again.
But what Schiller was once best at was expelling a panicked lamb from the flock and following its back until it was exhausted and placed on the chopping board, becoming a living fish.
