Chapter 131 A-Zu's Philosophy of Love

"Just because I figured out the Sphinx's riddle?"

"Yes, as if it were destined by the gods and fate."

Zatanna picked up the rabbit and said, "You are destined to guess the answer to the riddle, we are destined to meet the Witch Queen, and the Sphinx is destined to rescue me. Perhaps, sir, you are destined to be connected to this secret house."

Peter looked at the key in his hand and said, "As you said, maybe it was arranged by the gods and fate, but, Xiaoza, it is too valuable."

Although he was very interested in the secret house, he also knew that it was nothing ordinary.

"Sir, are you afraid that you can't keep it safe?"

Zatanna asked, pretending to be confused.

"You're not good at bad provocation, Zach."

Peter put the key away, "Okay, I'll take it."

"Do you want to continue your career as a magician?" Peter asked the other party after putting away the key.

"Yes, I will continue to look for my father, return to the magic stage, return to the storm, and return to the other side of the dark night."

"Stormy? Dark night?"

Peter shrugged and told her, "It sounds like you're about to step into a dangerous arena."

Zatanna blinked, "It's a quote. These two lines are from Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven."

Without waiting for Peter to speak, she proudly read out "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe.

"'Let this be our parting words, bird or devil!' I cried, rising up,

Go back to your storm, to the other side of your dark night!

Leave not thy black feathers as a token of the lies thy soul hath told!
Leaving me complete loneliness!

Get your mouth away from my heart;
Get your body out of my room!"

-

"I am now the crow in Edgar Allan Poe's story, my soul freed from the shadow floating on the floor."

Zatanna stroked the rabbit's long ears and said with a sad expression, "We have to leave the room now and fly back into the storm."

"is it?"

Peter pinched his chin, lost in thought, and after a moment he looked up and asked her, "Xiao Za, can you tell me something?"

"what?"

"If you love reading so much, why did you guess the riddle about books wrong?"

Zatanna: “.”

She felt like her soul had been struck.

After making a joke with Zatanna, Peter placed a bank card on the table.

"Okay, I'm not kidding you anymore. There's some money in this bank card. Maybe you'll need it on the way."

Since the other party gave him the right to use the secret house, he was not reluctant to help the other party financially.

Seeing the bank card that Peter pushed over to her, Zatanna was a little at a loss.

"No, I can't have it. I don't need money."

In fact, she didn't have much money to use.

"For a girl on the road, I think the most important thing besides safety is money. Take it. Money is the least valuable thing to me."

Zatanna looked at Peter's expression and was touched.

She exhaled slowly, put away the bank card and held it in her hand, "Thank you, thank you, Uncle Padrick."

She was a little excited, so she stood up and gave Peter a hug.

"I will always remember this story. Always remember it."

the other side.

Azu hid at the corner of the stairs on the second floor and overheard the conversation between Peter and Zatanna.

He didn't have much interest in whether Zatanna left or stayed.

What interested him was the key that the other party left for his father.

With that key, you can enter the mysterious house and explore the scene you saw last night again.

Thinking of this, his eyes sparkled.

But when I thought about the key being in my dad's hand, how could I secretly take it out safely and without being noticed?
Thinking of this, his face immediately turned bitter.

wrong
He soon realized that he had forgotten another very important thing.

Dad actually gave the money to Zatanna?
That's your future money!
His mood suddenly turned bad, and he even came up with an idea to pretend to be a robber and snatch back the money his father gave to Zatanna.

But he soon realized that this behavior was very risky.

Not to mention that Zatanna is a magician, if her father knew about this, she would definitely be punished.

"Ugh!"

A Zu sighed heavily. Dad was just soft-hearted. No matter if it was Zatanna or Bruce, as long as they showed a little pity, Dad would be fooled.

Each of these guys without parents is a tough guy.

At noon, Peter returned to the farm after seeing Zatanna off.

Star-Lord was not happy about the magician's departure.

He felt very sorry that the other party left before he could learn a few magic tricks from him.

"Dad, is Zatanna really gone?"

"Yes, she will continue her magic performance career and is destined not to stay in one place for too long."

"Birds won't stop flying," Peter replied as he cut the sausage with a fork.

Star-Lord took a bite of pancake, his mouth was stuffed with food, and he asked Peter incoherently, "Is Zatanna a bird?"

"Yes, she is Raven."

Peter said casually to Star-Lord.

"crow?"

Star-Lord thought about Zatanna's image. She always wore black clothes and a black tall hat. He nodded, "Yes, she does look a bit like a crow, a crow that can perform magic."

"What's wrong? Are you worried about something, John?" Seeing that A Zu looked absent-minded, Peter asked him, "Are you not eating well?"

"No, it's not."

A-Zu quickly denied it.

He was upset because Peter gave his bank card to Zatanna, but he would never tell anyone about this even if he was beaten to death.

"I just"

He thought about it and quickly found a reason, "I'm just worried about Clark's situation."

"What happened Clark?"

Peter asked curiously.

"Clark accidentally set the movie screen on fire during biology class yesterday."

A-Zu told Clark about the embarrassing thing that happened to him.

"You didn't tell me this, John. What happened?"

A-Zu organized his words and said, "I don't know. It was just a normal biology class. Clark was sitting at the back, and then the curtain of the movie was inexplicably ignited."

"After that, everyone ran out of the classroom."

After listening to this, Peter asked Azu, "Is there anything unusual in biology class?"

"I do not know."

Azu thought for a moment and then said, "But Lana is here."

"Lana?"

After hearing A-Zu talk about Lana, Peter had a rough idea in his mind.

"Dad, I can tell you a secret."

A-Zu suddenly said mysteriously.

"What secret?"

He looked at the other person in surprise. When did A-Zu become a "snitch"?

"It's Clark."

Zu leaned over and whispered, "Clark has a telescope in his 'secret fortress' in the barn. He likes to secretly use the telescope to spy on Lana at night."

Peter: "."

"It's not voyeurism, maybe Clark likes to look at the stars."

Peter coughed and explained a few words for Clark.

By the way, I also have a telescope in the barn. Does this naughty kid think that I like to peep too?
"Clark is not like his father, who likes to look at the stars. He has no interest in the stars."

A Zu said confidently: "He only likes Lana, but I don't think Lana likes him."

“Do you know what likes and dislikes are?”

Peter was a little surprised. An eleven-year-old kid knew these things?

"Of course I understand."

A-Zu said that although he is young, he has a lot of life experience.

"They say Lana is the school beauty and there are many people who like her, so it's not surprising that Clark is one of them. But there's nothing special about Clark. I mean, Clark who hides his abilities is like a fool."

"Dad, if men and women are attracted to each other, there must be outstanding characteristics, right?"

Peter picked up the juice and mentally gave a thumbs up to A-Zu's philosophy of love.

But if you know so much, why are you so insulated from girls in school? !
Peter fell into deep thought.

night.

Neil Horse Farm.

Lana tied Tyson to the stable and stroked the sideburns on Tyson's back with her hand.

"Lana."

Neil came out and said to Lana in the stable, "Is Tyson feeling better?"

Tyson hasn't been in a good mood lately and even saw a veterinarian today.

The veterinarian didn't know what disease Tyson had and just prescribed some common medicines.

Lana stayed with Tyson throughout her treatment.

"Still the same."

Lana said in a somewhat depressed mood: "The veterinarian said that Tyson might have abdominal pain. He is too old."

"Tyson will be fine." Neil came over to comfort Lana.

After the two exchanged a few words, Lana returned to the room with her aunt.

Lana, feeling depressed, sat on the bed in the room, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

After a while, she got up and got out of bed.

Unable to sleep, she opened the locked drawer on a whim, wanting to see the relics her mother left her.

These relics were given to her by Aunt Neil a few days ago.

Her parents unfortunately died in a car accident during a meteor shower, a pain she could never forget.

So she didn't dare to open it until today when she finally mustered up the courage.

Just as she reached for the drawer, her fingers accidentally touched the metal wire next to the drawer.

She groaned when she was stabbed.

Looking at the painful area, I found a bright red blood bead on the index finger of my left hand.

Sucking her pricked finger despite the pain, she continued to take out the photo albums and notes from the drawer.

Looking through the photos of her parents in the album, Lana's expression turned sad.

A few minutes later, she closed the photo album and calmed herself down, but her eyes accidentally caught a glance at a thick, old-fashioned book.

She opened the book out of curiosity, but did not notice a drop of blood flowing from her finger and seeping into the page.

At the same time, the mark on her arm also emitted a strange glow.
