Chapter 388 Gotham Will Not Let You Down
Seeing that Yang Le didn't seem to be lying, Wonder Woman didn't say anything more. After all, she knew the characteristics of the Lantern Ring. The power of the Red Lantern Ring was top-tier among all Lantern Rings, and its domineering nature was self-evident. A Host would be transformed the moment they touched a Lantern Ring, and it certainly wouldn't just sit on the Wearer's hand without any reaction like this one.
Ignoring this little interlude, the two of them once again focused their attention on Circe and the girl named Donna Troy.
Seeing this girl reconstructed from her own mother's Body, Diana's complex Mood was imaginable. This Valkyrie experienced confusion for the first time since her birth.
"I bet Superman's Mood when he saw Superboy wasn't even half as complicated as yours is now." Yang Le placed his hand on Wonder Woman's Shoulder, comforting her. In fact, he was also complaining inwardly at this moment.
This girl named Donna Troy, no matter how you looked at it, should be the famous second-generation Wonder Girl, Donna Troy. The reason Yang Le could recognize her at a glance was because the famous thing about this second-generation Wonder Girl wasn't actually her Identity or her beautiful appearance, but rather a Topic that no Superhero could avoid – her origin.
Famous Superheroes generally have two or three origins, including the initial concept and later continuous updates or reboots. Donna was no exception, except that her origins were simply too many.
How many were there? Roughly calculated, there are about fifteen, and these are just the more famous ones. Many Fans even feel that there may be more.
And the Clay Figure kneaded from the fragments of Hippolyta's Stone Statue was one of Donna's origin stories. Coincidentally, in this origin, Donna's initial Identity was precisely a Weapon to kill Wonder Woman, which coincided with Donna Troy being bewitched by Circe.
Although he guessed the girl's Identity based on his Comics Knowledge, it wasn't of much use, because Yang Le still knew nothing about Circe and the girl's whereabouts. The Comics he had read could only give him Precognition on the big picture, and Yang Le could only be at a loss on such Small Matter.
Wonder Woman also had no Idea about Circe's whereabouts. After thinking about it, the two decided to look for outside help. Old Dad's Words were very valuable – to fight Magic with Magic. Of course, they should ask a Magician about a Magician's whereabouts.
As a local, Diana took Yang Le to another place non-stop, and this place could definitely be called one of the most famous places in the DC Universe.
…
Lively but elegant Music sounded, and well-dressed gentlemen and ladies walked in pairs into a huge Theater on the Carpet. A huge Signboard was displayed at the Doorway of the Theater, with a huge Photo printed on it. An old gentleman in a Tailcoat and top hat was gazing at every Guest who came with his wise Gaze.
Next to the Signboard, a paragraph was written in mysterious purple artistic font: Magician Giovanni Zatara will show you true Magic before your eyes. We will join hands to swim in the Sea of Magic together.
The Music began to become faster, reminding everyone that the Performance was about to begin. The Guests couldn't help but quicken their Footsteps to take their seats. After the Audience Seats were full, the Lights in the Theater went out, and the entire Theater fell into darkness.
"Pa!"
Suddenly, a Light hit the Stage, but what was strange was that there was no one under the Lights, let alone the Items that Magicians usually used to perform or conceal their Magician's Trick.
Before the Audience could feel strange, elegant Music had already sounded. The musicians on both sides of the Stage began to play the instruments in their hands. To everyone's surprise, Musical Notes actually floated out of the instruments.
The color of the Musical Notes produced by each instrument was different. These Musical Notes of various colors began to float wantonly in the Theater like free Birds. The Audience also changed from Shock at the beginning to curiosity, and many people even stretched out their Hands to catch those Musical Notes.
Those Musical Notes were even more agile than Birds. Not only did they avoid the Hands that tried to capture them, but they could even proudly tease the Audience who had bad intentions towards them.
Gradually, the music came to an end. The Musical Notes began to converge towards the Light in the Center of the Stage. The Musical Notes of various colors were like jigsaw puzzles. In full view of everyone, those countless Musical Notes actually pieced together a man, who was Giovanni Zatara, the protagonist of this Magic Show.
Giovanni Zatara stretched out his Hand and gently tapped the last Musical Note that floated over. After the Musical Note expanded, it turned into a Magic Wand and landed steadily in Giovanni Zatara's Hand. At this time, the Music stopped just right, and Giovanni Zatara bowed in response.
The Audience spontaneously applauded. This magical and novel appearance was unheard of to them. Just this opening was already worth the Ticket price.
"Thank you, thank you everyone." Giovanni Zatara stood up straight. "Welcome everyone to the Gotham Theater to watch my Magic Show. To thank you for your support, I will bring you the most unforgettable night."
Giovanni Zatara's Voice was clearly not loud, and he didn't carry any sound Equipment, but his Voice could clearly reach the Ears of every Guest.
In the expectant Gazes of all the Audience, Giovanni Zatara smiled and took off the hat on his Crown. He was going to start today's Performance with the most classic Hat Magic. This was Giovanni Zatara's favorite opening Method. Almost all of his Performances started with Hat Magic, but unfortunately, there might be an accident today.
"Bang!"
A deafening Gunshot rang out. Giovanni Zatara's Hand had just reached into his hat and had to stop. Unlike the panic that the Audience showed at the first moment, Giovanni Zatara's Expression actually carried a hint of helplessness.
'Gotham really never lets me down.' Giovanni Zatara complained inwardly.
"Robbery!" A man wearing a Clown Mask stood at the Passage Doorway at the back of the Audience Seats. Although the Lights were dim, it was not difficult for everyone to see that there were many black shadows behind him, who should be his accomplices. A man in a suit and strong build was lying on the ground Underfoot of the masked man. He looked like he should be the security personnel for this Performance. The red Carpet under the suit and strong man was more enchanting than other places. It was obvious at a glance that it was soaked in Fresh Blood.
"Ah!!!!"
The Scream had just sounded when the Clown masked man pulled the Trigger again. The huge Gunshot covered up the Scream, and then he pointed the Gun Muzzle at the Woman who had just screamed the loudest and threatened.
"I think you are still a Hostage, so I will let you go. If you dare to Scream again, I will definitely kill you."
The Theater fell silent again, just like when the Performance had just begun. The masked man nodded in satisfaction, and with a wave of his Hand, many masked men similar to him immediately poured out from behind him. These people were men and women, but without exception, they all wore Clown Masks.
