Chapter 256 Instigating Behind the Scenes, Curious Diana

As the commander of the Sky Eye Society and the warden of the superhuman prison Bell Reve, Amanda Waller is very concerned about her personal safety.

As soon as Roy and Diana landed on the viewing balcony, the apartment's silent alarm system went off.

Amanda Waller in the bedroom was awakened for the first time.

Then, he decisively opened the drawer of the bedside table and took out a pistol from it.

After getting the pistol, she got up and went to the desk, and opened the laptop on the desk.

Looking at the real-time monitoring screen displayed on the computer screen, Amanda Waller frowned suddenly.

How could it be them?

After seeing that the people who broke into her apartment were Roy and Diana, Amanda immediately had a bad feeling.

Although the purpose of Roy and Diana was not very clear, after discovering that the intruder was the two of them, she first turned off the alarm system.

Then, putting on his coat, he left the bedroom with a pistol in his hand.

living room.

"If you are here because of Barbara Minerva's escape, I can only say I have no comment."

After seeing the report of the leopard girl Barbara attacking the museum, Amanda guessed that Diana would come to find herself.

However, she did not expect that Diana would come with Roy.

Amanda guessed that Diana would come to find herself, and Diana also guessed that Amanda would definitely answer like this.

"I want all the surveillance cameras from the days before Barbara left the prison."

Diana said to Amanda.

"My people have checked the surveillance and found nothing."

"Of course, if you want, I can make a copy for you."

Amanda said quickly.

"Send the surveillance camera to my private mailbox."

Diana continued.

"it is good."

Amanda replied.

Roy originally didn't intend to participate in the conversation between Diana and Amanda, but he frowned slightly after seeing the aloof Amanda's cooperation.

Something is wrong!
That's not Amanda's style!
Just when he was thinking about whether Amanda was hiding something on purpose, Diana turned to him and said:
"Let's go back."

Is this gone?

After hearing Diana's words, Roy felt that something was wrong.

After thinking for a few seconds, he said to Diana:
"it is good!"

After speaking, he followed Diana and left Amanda's apartment.

After watching Diana and Roy leave, Amanda's already dark face became even darker.

The roof of a building near the apartment.

"Do you think it's too casual for me to leave without asking anything?"

Diana asked Roy.

"It's a little bit."

"If you just want the surveillance cameras of Barbara in the prison, you just need to call Amanda, there is no need to come over in person."

"Especially at a time like this."

"If I'm not mistaken, Amanda's answer and attitude should remind you of something."

Roy said slowly.

After hearing his words, Diana looked at him in surprise.

"You guessed right, Amanda's attitude and answer did give me some guesses."

"I can now confirm that Barbara's escape from prison has nothing to do with Amanda, and it is even possible that this was arranged by Amanda."

Diana said quickly.

"You suspect that Amanda is the mastermind behind Barbara?"

Roy continued to ask.

"Yes."

"However, there is one thing I don't understand, that is, if Amanda really wants to seal the terracotta figurine with the witch, she has many legal ways to get the terracotta figurine, and there is no need to send Barbara to the museum to grab it. "

Although Amanda does not have any superpowers, as the official person in charge of dealing with superhuman affairs in the beautiful country, she can mobilize many superhumans to help her work.

Like, Suicide Squad!

"Is there such a possibility that Amanda is indeed the instigator behind Barbara, but it is only her personal decision to snatch the terracotta figurine that seals the witch."

"If that's the case, that would explain why she sent Barbara to the museum to snatch the figurines instead of taking the figurines from the museum in a more legal way."

"Because doing so can bypass the official, no written records will be left, and it will not be known by unrelated people."

Roy spoke his mind.

"What you said makes sense, but there is no evidence to prove that this is Amanda's personal decision."

"Also, if it was Amanda's personal decision to snatch the terracotta figurines, it means she must have other purposes."

"As one of the commanders of the Sky Eye Society, she knows exactly how dangerous a witch, a life form from another dimension, is."

"If a superhuman is just a C4 bomb that doesn't know when it will explode, then the witch is equivalent to a nuclear bomb that may explode at any time."

"She does have prejudices against superhumans, but she is also one of the few high-level officials who really knows how dangerous superhumans are."

Diana frowned and said.

After hearing Diana's words, Roy suddenly remembered something.

Damn!

How could I forget about this thing!
Under normal circumstances, Amanda did not limit the ability of the witch, so even if the terracotta figurine that sealed the witch fell into her hands, she would have no way to use the power of the witch.

However, if she had the witch's heart in her hand, that would be another matter.

As long as you control the heart of the witch, you will not be afraid that the witch will not be obedient.

More importantly, the witch of this universe came here alone, and her brother "Nightmare" did not come to this universe with her.

This also means that as long as the witch can't get her heart back, she can only obey others.

It would all make sense if the witch's heart had indeed fallen into Amanda's hands.

Barbara was able to escape from Belle Reve Prison, and why Barbara knew that the terracotta figurines that sealed the witches were donated to the museum have a reasonable answer.

Because the person behind the scenes instigating Barbara is Amanda.

As for why Amanda asked Barbara to go to the museum to snatch the terracotta figurines instead of using official means to get the terracotta figurines, it is not difficult to understand.

First of all, there are indeed many superhuman criminals in Belle Reve Prison, but there are not many who can fight against Diana.

Although Barbara's strength is not as good as Diana's, compared with other criminals, Barbara is already the most suitable candidate.

His strength is not weak, he can compete with Diana for a period of time, and he has experience in fighting Diana.

Unless there are superhuman criminals who can confront Diana head-on in Belle Reve Prison.

Otherwise, Barbara is the most suitable candidate.

In the end, if Amanda asked the museum for pottery figurines through official means, then the witch thing would definitely be reported.

At that time, even if the witch has to obey her orders because of her heart, the witch will be the official chess piece of the beautiful country, not Amanda's own chess piece.

"what happened?"

Seeing Roy's sudden frown, Diana immediately asked.

"That... I suddenly remembered something."

"The heart of a witch!"

"Although the terracotta figurine that sealed the witch was found, the heart of the witch has been missing."

"I suspect that the witch's heart has now fallen into Amanda's hands."

Having said that, Roy didn't continue talking.

If it comes to this level, Diana is still unable to react, then Diana is too slow.

As Roy expected, Diana immediately frowned.

Obviously, she also guessed why Amanda sent Barbara to the museum to snatch the terracotta figurines instead of taking the terracotta figurines by official means.

"If the witch's heart really fell into Amanda's hands, then..."

Diana didn't continue to speak, but her meaning was already obvious.

"Are the terracotta figurines still in the museum's temporary warehouse?"

Roy asked.

"Well, it's still in the temporary warehouse."

Diana quickly replied.

"Let's go over and make sure."

After finishing speaking, Roy activated the power of the stars in front of Diana, and created the star portal to the museum's temporary warehouse.

The museum is not very far from their current location, completely within the teleportation range of the flash.

But Roy did not choose to flash to the past, but created a relatively inconvenient star portal.

The reason why he did this is simple.

If Shi Zhan flashed past, he had to hold Diana or put his arms around Diana.

While he wouldn't mind it, Diana wouldn't.

After all, they just met last night, and their relationship is not good enough to hug each other.

After seeing the light blue portal that appeared out of thin air, Diana showed a surprised expression.

Although she has confirmed that Roy is a superhuman, she doesn't know what kind of extraordinary ability Roy possesses.

In other words, she didn't know how many extraordinary abilities Roy had.

But one thing she was sure of was that Roy controlled a very high level of energy.

I don't know if it's her own illusion, but when she stands near Roy, she always has a feeling that the divine power in her body is suppressed invisible.

After thinking for a few seconds, she asked Roy:

"It's convenient to ask what kind of energy you have mastered?"

what?
Roy looked at Diana with a look of surprise. He didn't expect Diana to ask such a question at this time.

"It's fine if it's inconvenient, I'm taking the liberty."

After seeing Roy's unexpected expression, Diana realized that she had asked a private question involving Roy's privacy.

"It's nothing inconvenient. The energy I have now is an energy called the power of the stars."

"To put it simply, you can understand it as the power of stars."

Roy said slowly.

It would not be a problem to simply reveal part of the nature of the power of the stars to Diana.

On the one hand, Diana was no enemy.

Even if Diana was the enemy, she couldn't use this information to deal with Roy.

The power of the stars does have some properties of the power of the stars, but the power of the stars is not all the power of the stars.

Compared with the power of ordinary stars, for example, compared with the power of planets and stars, the energy level of the power of stars is higher.

"You can actually control the power of the stars with a human body. Now I am more and more curious about your origin."

After meeting Roy and Selina last night, Diana used her intelligence channels to investigate the two of them.

Selina's experience was easily investigated.

Even if Selina left Gotham to study with the Armless Master, it was also easily investigated.

Compared with Selina, who was born "innocent", Roy's origin is a bit complicated.

To be precise, no matter how Diana investigates, she can only investigate the information about Roy in Gotham.

Where did he come from, what has he experienced before, there is a blank, and there is no way to find out.

"Everyone goes through something special."

Roy didn't intend to continue on this topic.

After finishing speaking, he took the lead in walking into the Xingxiu portal and came to the temporary warehouse with a high security level.

After seeing him stepping through the portal and entering the temporary warehouse, Diana didn't continue to ask, and followed him to the warehouse.

Soon, they found the box where the enchanted terracotta figurines were kept.

"It seems that Amanda really wants to seal the terracotta figurine of the witch."

Looking at the box with only cushion foam left, Roy shrugged and said slowly.

"I was careless. Knowing that Barbara's goal is to seal the terracotta figurines of witches, I should take the terracotta figurines away instead of staying here."

Diana frowned.

"I can't blame you. At that time, you didn't know that Amanda was behind Barbara's scenes."

Roy continued.

"Even if I didn't know that the messenger behind Barbara was Amanda at that time, I should have put the terracotta figurines in another warehouse for safekeeping."

"Leaving the terracotta figurines here is basically the same as handing over to others."

Diana said quickly.

"Don't blame yourself too much, it's not your problem."

"Besides, even if the terracotta figurines do fall into Amanda's hands, the worst outcome is nothing more than a fight with the witch."

"As long as you beat the witch, you won't have any problems."

Unlike Diana, Roy didn't think it would be too much trouble for the figurines to fall into Amanda's hands.

Even if Amanda did release the witch, it wouldn't be too difficult.

Isn't it just a higher life form from another dimension?
Just kill it!

no big deal.

In Roy's view, this is not a big problem at all.

But Diana didn't think so.

If the witch's strength is really as powerful as recorded in ancient books.

Then even if they could re-seal the witch, or kill the witch directly, it would definitely cause a lot of collateral damage.

This is something Diana doesn't want to see.

After a few seconds of silence, Diana left without saying anything, turned around and left, passed through the Xingxiu portal, and returned to the roof of the previous building.

Seeing that Diana was planning to go directly to Amanda's apartment, Roy said:
"You don't plan to just go and confront Amanda like this?"

"She's not the type to admit it obediently."

Diana turned to look at Roy, and said with a serious expression:

"In front of the lasso of truth, she can only tell the truth."

amount……

It was only after hearing Diana's words that Roy realized that Diana possessed an unscientific artifact called the Lasso of Mantra.
