Eudemons Qinglong in American manga

Chapter 254 Enchantress, Leopard Girl's Purpose
Roy's shot not only exceeded Diana's expectations, but also exceeded Barbara's expectations.

Unlike Diana, Barbara always knew Roy was around.

But she didn't expect that Roy, who had never made a move and just stood by and observed, would make a move at such a time.

"when did you come?"

Diana first glanced at Barbara, the leopard girl who was kicked away, before asking Roy.

"It's been a while."

Roy said slowly.

After hearing his answer, Diana frowned slightly.

Roy didn't make a move before, and stood by to watch the battle. She didn't have any opinions.

After all, Roy has no obligation to stop Barbara.

What she cared about was that she had never discovered Roy's existence.

If Roy hadn't lifted his invisibility and attacked Barbara, she wouldn't have noticed Roy was nearby until now.

For Diana, this is something that has to be taken seriously.

If Roy is the enemy, it means that Roy can attack at any time without her noticing.

"She's my old opponent, I'll just deal with her."

After thinking for a few seconds, Diana said to Roy.

"I'll still come."

"You know her well, and she knows you well."

Roy replied.

He would choose to make a move at this time because Diana couldn't bear to deal with Barbara.

Otherwise, even if Barbara has the strength far beyond ordinary people, it is absolutely impossible to be Diana's opponent.

Barbara just has the power bestowed by the gods.

Diana is a demigod with divine power and the blood of Zeus.

After speaking, Roy walked towards Barbara who was kicked away by him without waiting for Diana to answer.

After seeing Roy walking towards her, Barbara ignored the pain from her body, raised her hands, put on a fighting posture, and watched Roy vigilantly.

"Personally, it's better not to resist."

Roy said to Barbara who was ready to fight.

He wasn't Diana, and he wouldn't keep his hands on purpose to prevent himself from hurting Barbara.

As long as it is an enemy, he doesn't care whether the opponent is a man or a woman.

On the battlefield, as long as you pick up your gun, you need to deal with the enemy with all your strength.

Only in this way can we ensure our own survival.

This is a word repeatedly emphasized by the troops of many countries when training recruits.

Although Roy is not a soldier, he agrees with this concept.

After hearing his words, Barbara didn't speak, but let out a threatening low cry like a real beast.

It was obvious that she didn't intend to be caught without a fight.

Roy was not surprised by Barbara's choice.

It would be abnormal if Barbara would choose to let her go.

Roy ignored Barbara's threatening whisper, and decisively mobilized the power of stars in his body.

flash!

Before Barbara could react, Roy flashed in front of her.

At the same time, the right fist was struck at a speed exceeding the speed of sound.

Before Roy's right fist touched Barbara's lower abdomen, a local shock wave broke through the sound barrier in the air, and an incomparably loud sonic boom burst out.

Then, a right fist with astonishing speed and strength hit Barbara's lower abdomen.

Bang!
A dull beating sound like a war drum sounded.

Not the loud sonic boom that shatters glass and windows.

The sound of the beating was not strong. If you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't even be able to hear the small sound that was almost completely hidden in the sonic boom.

For Barbara, however, it was this small thump that was the real source of pain.

The moment Barbara was punched in the lower abdomen by Roy's right fist, all the thoughts in Barbara's mind disappeared, and her whole brain went blank.

Not only that, she lost all perception of the outside world except for the horrible pain that had never been experienced before, which seemed to destroy her body completely.

Without any suspense, the severe pain beyond the limit of the body made Barbara unconscious.

thump!
Roy withdrew his right fist and watched Barbara fall unconscious.

Then, he said to Diana:
"Tackling the source of the crisis in the shortest possible time is the best way to avoid further escalation of collateral damage."

"Otherwise, you will only be led by the nose by the enemy, and will change more and more."

In terms of age, Diana is much, much older than Roy.

But from Roy's point of view, a long life did not make Diana "smarter".

In other words, Diana is still used to thinking with the "good guy" thinking.

Although she was "educated" by Roy, Diana had to admit that what he said was right.

If she had gone all out from the beginning, the matter would have ended early, and it would never have developed to this point.

Although she protected some antiques as much as possible, some antiques were still destroyed.

Diana didn't speak, and went straight to the unconscious Barbara.

After confirming that Barbara was only in a coma due to severe pain, she said to Roy:

"I'll take care of the next thing."

"Ok!"

Roy nodded.

In the next second, he cast a flash and disappeared from Diana's sight.

Outside the museum.

Selina, like everyone else, stood outside the cordon and watched as the Metropolitan Police, who had just arrived on the scene, entered the museum.

At this moment, Roy's voice came from beside her.

"It's settled."

After hearing Roy's voice, Selina quickly turned to look at Roy.

"Do you know who the robber is?"

Selina asked quickly.

"Leave here and talk."

While the attention of the surrounding crowd is on the Metropolitan Police and museum guards, it's not a good place to talk.

"it is good."

Selina nodded back.

After a few minutes.

In a coffee shop near the museum, Roy and Selina sat facing the street, tasting the coffee in front of them.

"The robber is Leopard Girl."

"As for what she is looking for, it is still uncertain."

Putting down the coffee cup in his hand, Roy said to Selina.

Leopard girl?

Selina frowned slightly.

Although she has never seen Leopard Girl with her own eyes, she knows that Leopard Girl was captured by Diana a long time ago.

"Shouldn't she be locked up in some secret prison?"

Selina asked suspiciously.

"Normally, that's how it should be."

"How she escaped from prison and what she was looking for will only be known after investigation."

Roy said slowly.

Unlike Selina, he doesn't care how the leopard girl Barbara escaped from prison.

He only cared about one thing, and that was what the hell Barbara was looking for.

For others, Wonder Woman's true identity may be a mystery.

But Barbara definitely knew that Diana was Wonder Woman.

Knowing that Diana is Wonder Woman, Barbara dared to rob things in the Metropolitan Museum so openly.

Whichever way you look at it, it's abnormal.

Even if there is really something important in the museum, Barbara can do it at another time.

"Is it possible that she came just for Diana?"

Selina continued to ask.

"Not very likely."

"She should be looking for something. Even if Diana is also her target, it should be just incidentally."

Roy replied.

Although he was very curious about what Barbara was looking for, he probably had to wait for Barbara to speak up or Diana to investigate the various antiques recently received by the museum.

Just when Selina was about to continue asking something, her cell phone rang suddenly.

After seeing the number displayed on the screen, she showed a surprised expression.

"Diana is calling."

Selina spoke to Roy first, and then pressed the connect button.

As soon as the phone was connected, Diana asked straight to the point:

"Is Roy with you now?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Selina replied immediately.

"Give him your phone, please."

"Uh-huh!"

Selina handed the phone to Roy.

Roy took the phone and said:
"Tell me, what's wrong?"

"Do you have time right now?"

"If you have time, it would be convenient for Fang to come to the museum. I seem to have found what Barbara was looking for."

Diana said quickly.

Found it so soon?
Although he guessed that Diana would definitely look up what had recently come to the museum, Roy did not expect that Diana's efficiency would be so high.

"Okay, I'll go right now."

Roy replied.

"Well, I'll wait for you at the south gate of the museum, and Selina can come here too."

"it is good!"

After hanging up the phone, Roy and Selina had a brief talk.

Afterwards, he paid the bill and left the coffee shop.

The south gate of the museum.

Although the museum is now temporarily closed, under the leadership of Diana, Roy and Selina entered the museum without any obstacles.

Diana did not take them to the previous work area, but took them to the underground of the museum.

Along the way, after passing through several security doors, the three of them came to a temporary warehouse that only a few employees could enter.

Although it is a temporary warehouse, the security level of this warehouse is no lower than other warehouses.

The reason why it is called a temporary warehouse is because all the antiques that have just been sent to the museum have not been studied and classified.

"After you left, I went to the monitoring room to check the surveillance video, and found that Barbara's purpose this time was a certain antique that was newly sent to the museum."

"Then, I looked into the list of antiquities recently sent to the museum."

"Finally, I found this on the list."

After speaking, Diana stopped in front of one of the boxes and slowly opened the box.

This is?

After seeing the contents of the box, Roy's expression became a little strange.

Although he is not an archaeologist, he is no stranger to this small pottery doll in front of him.

witch!

To be precise, it is a pottery doll that seals a witch.

How could it be this thing?
Shouldn't this thing be in a cave in a hidden temple in South America?

How would it appear here?

In the movies and comics, the setting of the witch is completely different.

In the comics, "Sorceress" Joan Munn is possessed by the evil spirit Danzamo in a secret room of a haunted castle.

Say the word "witch" and she can transform into a witch.

In the movie, Joan Munn became a witch because she twisted the neck of the pottery doll, released the witch sealed in the pottery figurine, and was possessed by the witch.

Although the origins of the witches in comics and movies are different, after seeing the terracotta figurines in the box, Roy knew that the witches in this universe were most likely to be the same as the setting in the movie.

As for why the terracotta figurines appeared here instead of being destroyed as soon as they were discovered, this is not very important.

"I checked the information, and it was donated to the museum by a deceased South American rich man for free."

"The tycoon passed away a week ago. According to his will, this terracotta figurine was donated to the museum free of charge."

"In addition to this pottery figurine, the South American rich man also donated some ancient books."

Diana said slowly.

"Did the rich man say what this thing is?"

Roy asked.

"In the document he sent, there is a brief introduction of this pottery figurine."

After speaking, Diana handed the folder in her hand to Roy.

Opening the folder, Roy quickly browsed through it.

As he guessed, the terracotta figurine came from an abandoned temple.

According to the data, it was a temple used for living sacrifices in ancient times.

In the caves of the temple, there are bones left over from the sacrifices.

And this pottery figurine was placed on the altar in the cave.

Although the information briefly explains the origin of the pottery figurines, it is only superficial information.

After closing the folder, Roy said to Diana:
"Do you know what this terracotta figurine is?"

"I know, I read it in ancient books."

Diana quickly replied.

Then, she spoke slowly.

Of course, the ancient books she had read were not those sent by the rich man in South America, but the ancient books kept in Paradise Island.

Although Paradise Island is very far away from South America, and the Amazons have never had formal contact with witches.

But Paradise Island still has related records of witches.

As for the reason, it is very simple, because the Amazons at that time had not yet lived in seclusion.

It wasn't just the Amazons who didn't live in seclusion, the Atlanteans didn't either.

At that time, human beings, Amazonians, and Atlanteans not only coexisted peacefully, but also cooperated and connected to a certain extent.

After listening to Diana's narration, Roy compared the witch information in his memory.

In general, the witches that Diana described were similar to those in his memory. They were all beings from other dimensions, possessing various magical abilities and the ability to possess the host.

The only thing that was different from what he remembered was the process of the witch being sealed.

According to Diana, the witch was sealed because the gods in South America took action.

Otherwise, the South American natives at that time would not have been able to seal the "god" witches.

In addition, the witch in this universe seems to be the only one who came from other dimensions, and did not come with her brother.

In the ancient books of Paradise Island, only the witch is recorded from the beginning to the end, and the brother of the witch is not mentioned at all.
