Because on the way to find someone, Deathstroke originally said that he was in a hurry, but now he suddenly changed his mind and instead squatted on the roadside and started drinking with Constantine.
They were not acquaintances, and the topics they chatted about were all over the place. One asked about Earth 0 today, and the other asked about Earth 1 in the past. Basically, it was mostly comparisons and investigations, and many things were completely wrong.
But even so, the two of them drank in a lively atmosphere, like relatives reunited after a long separation, with smiles on their faces.
Diana and Leopard Girl also wanted to drink, but Su Ming asked them to do what they wanted. Anyway, he didn't mention the matter of finding Luther.
After drinking for about ten minutes, there wasn't even any appetizer, just drinking. The two sides were still evenly matched. Deathstroke's face did not change, and Zha Kang's breath was stable. It seemed that his lung cancer was cured by drinking.
"It's not very exciting to drink like this all the time." Su Ming took out another batch of new wine and placed it between the two of them. He also took some peanuts and said, "Can you do boxing? You two are good, like Si Ji Cai."
"Yes." Zha Kang smiled crookedly and patted his belly: "You were not even born when I was drinking. How could there be a drinking game that I don't know how to do?"
"That's easy, let's fight." Deathstroke stretched out his fist wrapped in black and yellow armor, and explained the detailed rules: "We are different from others, and we all like to drink, so who loses?
Then you don’t have to drink, but you still have to say some lucky words to the winner, how about that?”
"No problem." Zha Kang nodded and agreed. If both of them were wine barrels, not being allowed to drink would indeed be a punishment.
So they sat on the roadside, which was full of flesh and blood, and began to shout loudly and make gestures with their palms, and the atmosphere suddenly reached a higher level.
Barry doesn't drink, and he doesn't even touch alcoholic beverages when working. He can only squat aside doing nothing, trying not to look at the disgusting scenery around him.
On the other hand, Xiao Dai and Leopard Girl, both of whom were super soldiers and had no problem drinking, took a bottle of rum, walked to a lighted place, and drank while chatting quietly, with Zatanna, who had nothing to do, listening in.
"Constantine can't beat Deathstroke." Leopard Girl drank a glass of wine, looked towards the man, and whispered to Diana: "As a top warrior, whether it is the speed of nerve reaction or the speed of punching,
Much more than a spellcaster."
She was a little confused. Deathstroke brought out the wine to invite Constantine to drink, but now the game made it impossible for the latter to drink. Isn't this inconsistent?
It's very strange.
"He must have his own intentions, let's not worry about it." Diana thought thoughtfully. She also saw that her boyfriend was relying on his extraordinary physical fitness to cheat and had already defeated the old man in three games.
Although Xiao Dai also drinks, drinking and boxing are not popular at Amazon. She only learned this after joining the Justice League and doing missions around the world.
Now the two men are playing a game from the East, and the rules are very simple.
The two people simultaneously stretched out a hand, using a clenched fist and one to five fingers to express the numbers from zero to five. At the same time, they shouted the numbers from zero to 10.
If the sum of the numbers expressed by the two people's outstretched fingers is the same as the number shouted by one of them, then that person wins the punch.
For example, if one person puts out three fingers, another person puts out four fingers, one person calls out seven, and the other person calls out six, then the person who calls out seven will win.
If one person stretches out his clenched fist to indicate zero and shouts three, and the other person just stretches out three fingers and shouts seven, then the one who shouts three wins.
Generally speaking, if what is shouted is seven, but only one finger is thrown out, even if the opponent's five fingers are added, it will not be enough to make up seven, which means that a "stinky punch" is thrown, and the opponent will lose directly.
Why seven again? It’s not important, it’s just an example.
But now Xiao Dai can see clearly that her boyfriend Slade's punch is obviously a few tenths of a second later than the old man Constantine's, which means that he is cheating. He sees clearly how many fingers the other party punches. Listen to
The move is made only after clearing the number shouted by the other party. It's just that the last move comes first.
In this way, he wins every time, and Zha Kang can only watch helplessly.
Leopard Girl is right. If the game continues like this, the purpose of inviting the other party to drink will not be achieved, and the whole thing will be to let the other party watch her drink.
But while Leopard Girl didn't understand Slade's style, Xiao Dai knew that her boyfriend didn't do meaningless things. Since he did this, it probably meant that he noticed something was wrong with him.
Therefore, she advised Leopard Girl to ignore it and not even look over there.
In this way, with everyone's deliberate indulgence, the boxing game between the two people continued, and in the next thirty rounds, Zha Kang never drank a glass of wine again, all because of the death knell.
According to the regulations, if the other party wins, he has to say auspicious words to toast. Common words such as 'Congratulations on getting rich', 'Good health', 'Long life', 'Family happiness' and so on are all mentioned by him.
All over.
If he hadn't been able to say it again in English and Latin, he might have run out of words.
But Deathstroke didn't feel guilty at all. He cheated openly and took pleasure in it. Every time Zha Kang gave a toast, he raised his chin high, looking like he was very useful.
It wasn't until Constantine finished speaking all the auspicious words in Greek that the death knell smacked his lips with unfinished content:
"Hey, that's good. You really know how to say auspicious words. I can't get enough of you."
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!" Zha Kang looked speechless, and his trachea made a sound like a bellows. It seemed that not only had he not drank any wine, but he had even dried up his saliva.
Barry, who was not far away, thought that the two of them had almost played. Maybe Deathstroke would take pity on Zha Kang and give him a glass of wine. What happened next made him open his eyes wide.
Because Death Knell was ready to continue punching, this time he punched first, but it hit Constantine's face.
It was an unavoidable, high-speed and violent punch. Even Barry could see the space torn open at the front of the fist bone, and the accompanying golden light.
Deathstroke now has the Speed Force in his body, and with his extraordinary speed and strength, Barry seems to have no chance of evading this punch.
And this was indeed the case. Old Constantine was accurately hit in the face, and half of the city behind him was reduced to powder by Deathstroke's punch, leaving only a huge trumpet-shaped pit in front of everyone.
The screams of unknown creatures came from the distance, but they soon quieted down. The decayed and decaying city also came back to life, and its missing buildings and streets began to heal themselves quickly.
Deathstroke waved his hand and used tactical gestures to signal everyone to prepare for battle. He himself looked at the direction where Zha Kang disappeared and said to the air:
"I'm in a hurry, so I didn't listen to more auspicious words. Do you think I didn't recognize you? Then you underestimate human beings, haha."
