Chapter 2905 When Night Falls (Twenty-three)
Zan was thrown to the ground and let out another scream. The Arkham Knight inherited his father's interrogation style very well. He went up and made four quick and clean clicks, and the limbs of the young man in the purple tights were all broken.
Dick gasped, but was not particularly surprised. After all, Jason in every universe was no good. Moonlight Schiller had no reaction, and Strange frowned slightly, as if he felt it was a pity.
The Arkham Knight said as he loaded bullets into his gun: "I ask you questions and you answer them. If you hesitate for one more second, you will get shot."
"Give up, I won't..."
boom!
"what!!!"
Zan was lying on the ground, twitching weakly, and Constantine, who limped in, was grinning at the sight.
"Who sent you?" asked the Arkham Knight.
Zan just screamed without answering, and then another gunshot followed. At this time, the young man was obviously a little unconscious, and the horrible pain completely occupied his brain.
"Yes Yes……"
As soon as Zan made the mouth shape, blood-red flames rose from his chest and burned him to charcoal in almost an instant.
"Don't waste your energy." Constantine said, "Those who have been converted cannot disobey their fathers. Any intention to reveal the secrets of their relatives will trigger a death curse."
Zan was still screaming, obviously he was not dead, but if he continued to burn like this, it was uncertain. Schiller looked at Dick, who shook his head and said, "I only have magical powers, but I can't use spells, and I don't know how to remove the curse."
Schiller looked at Doctor Strange again. Doctor Strange was already circling around Zan. Just as he was about to say something, Constantine said, "I have a way to lift this curse, but you'd better not ask him anymore..."
"No, wait." Doctor Strange suddenly interrupted him and said, "I can feel his soul, which means that if he dies now, I can summon him again. At that time, no curse will be useful."
The others suddenly realized, yes, they have a necromancer here, if they catch a vampire, they just need to let them die once, and then they can use the necromancer to summon them again, and the summoned undead creatures have no secrets in front of the summoner.
"Give him a quick death." Doctor Strange said, raising his head slightly.
Arkham Knight took out the sniper rifle again, loaded the bullets and aimed at Zan's head.
But at this moment, Zan, who had been twitching and wailing on the spot, suddenly went crazy and pounced on Doctor Strange like a madman.
Doctor Strange had gotten too close and was hit head-on, with a claw on his shoulder. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the golden candlestick flew over like an arrow and nailed Zan to the ground.
At this time, the young man had stopped moving and had completely turned into a black corpse. Doctor Strange covered the wound on his shoulder and took a deep breath.
Kong Su used the power of moonlight to heal the wound, but Doctor Strange's condition did not improve. The three black marks on his shoulder still existed, which was obviously some kind of toxin or curse.
Doctor Strange raised his arm slightly, but his eyes widened instantly and he said, "His soul is gone! How is this possible?!"
He raised his head and began to look around, but Schiller knew it was impossible for him to find it.
Because just as Doctor Strange said he would kill Zan and then summon him again, a light almost invisible to the naked eye flew out from Constantine's hand and entered Zan's body, and then the young man went crazy.
After the young man died, Constantine seemed to be smoking, but while smoking he took out a small bottle from his pocket, and Zan's soul was put into the bottle.
"Does a soul have to be present to summon?" Schiller looked at Doctor Strange and asked.
"In theory, yes. The soul is the medium for casting spells. So the more powerful the soul is, the stronger it will be after being summoned back. Moreover, memories exist in the soul. Without the soul, how would he know who he was before? And who transformed him?"
"What Doctor Strange said makes sense. What they want now is not combat power, but intelligence. So if the resurrected Zan has no soul, it would be meaningless if he is just an empty shell."
But Schiller obviously didn't see it that way. He said, "Can you bring his body back to life?"
"Of course you can, but there will be some differences between you and a living person."
"for example?"
"For example, the skin is paler, there is no body temperature, and it is afraid of sunlight..." At this point, Doctor Strange himself couldn't continue. He is a vampire, so why is he afraid of this?
But then he shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. Without a soul, it's just a corpse. Although I can control him with magic, it's very inconvenient to move him. At least I can't use his abilities when he was alive."
"If you have a soul, you can still use the abilities you had in life???" Dick said with some surprise.
"Not only that, he can use his superhero abilities, he can also use vampire magic." Doctor Strange said proudly, "If I hadn't been injured, the strength of my abilities would be at least two-thirds of what it was when I was alive, but now it's probably only half."
"It's amazing," Dick said. "I've never heard of such magic."
Not only he hadn't heard of it, Constantine hadn't heard of it either. If that's the case, isn't it equivalent to a transfer of copyright?
Obviously, the person who died and was resurrected got the copyright of magic, but the one who can really use this magic power is the necromancer. If he picks up more corpses, wouldn't it be equivalent to owning the copyright of all magic? Is this fair? ?
But maybe it's because the way magic works in the Marvel Universe is different. Anyway, Doctor Strange said he could do it, and he even demonstrated it with several vampires he summoned before.
He originally wanted to try whether the summoned undead vampire could bite and transform people like normal vampires, but there was no one here for him to experiment with, so he had to give up.
Under Schiller's instructions, Doctor Strange summoned Xan's body, but it was obvious that Xan's eyes had no pupils, which meant that there was no soul in his body.
Doctor Strange spread his hands and said, "I am using magic to keep his body stable, but without a soul, once my magic power is cut off, the body will fall apart in an instant. He can't do anything with me controlling him like this, after all, I am not in good condition now."
After saying that, he controlled Zan's body and took two steps. These two steps were quite normal, but he fell down when the Arkham Knight stopped him with his hand.
"I basically won't bother controlling a corpse without a soul." Doctor Strange said, "This means that all the abilities bound to his soul cannot be used, and I have to consume more strength, which is not cost-effective at all, so I am not very skilled in controlling it."
"Must it be his own soul?" asked Schiller.
All of a sudden everyone looked at him. Doctor Strange was slightly stunned, as if he understood Schiller's idea. He said, "No, it doesn't have to be his soul. Anyone's soul will do. But it's difficult for an ordinary person's soul to control another person's body. It won't be very coordinated."
Schiller smiled and said, "I just happened to have this experience."
In fact, Schiller's process of separation is much more complicated than it seems, because the tower is actually a complete soul, and all the personality traits are just fragments.
As the saying goes, one person for one job, the world works on the principle that one body is paired with one complete soul. This makes sense. Any damage to the soul can cause permanent paralysis or complete coma, because an incomplete soul cannot control a complete body.
Therefore, it is almost impossible for Schiller to use more than one two thousandth of his soul to control a complete body, especially since this body is somewhat different from the body they originally had.
But the coincidence is that this is not the first time Schiller has changed his body.
He was thrown into another world by God. The body in that world was different from his original body. Perhaps this was the reason why Schiller's mental state was always not good, but no matter what, his soul was adapted to controlling a strange body.
When they wanted to split up later, they had to solve the problem of controlling the entire body with a small piece of soul fragment. One of the solutions was that the Fighting Realm was different from the outside world, and allowing such a ridiculous thing to happen would not incur sanctions from the universe administrator.
The second is that usually Schiller is just a small fragment controlling most of the actions, and more than half of the remaining cores in the tower are idle. If one core is in trouble, the other eight cores will watch. They have become very accustomed to this situation.
So after shaping the new bodies, they were able to fully adapt after a short period of adjustment. It can only be said that Schiller was born with the ability to possess a holy body.
"You mean you have a way to get into Zan's body?"
"I have no choice but to rely on you. You are the magician." Schiller said, "I have a plan that will allow us to find out what is going on inside without actually entering the Justice League's field of vision, and even find out who the vampire hidden in the Justice League is."
"Isn't he the only one?"
"Of course there can't be only one." It was Dick who said this. He said, "Vampires have the ability to contact the members of the Justice League. It is impossible for them to transform only one young hero. There must be a traitor among the seven elders."
"Oh, I see." Doctor Strange nodded and said, "We can use this kid's body to go back to the Justice League. On the one hand, we can find out what is happening in the Justice League, and on the other hand, we can get in touch with his superiors."
"Although this guy couldn't reveal who his boss was because of the curse, if we saw it with our own eyes, it can't be considered as him revealing it."
"That's right, if you have that kind of magic..."
"Of course I have one," said Doctor Strange. "Even if I don't, can't I just hide a camera on my body?"
Arkham Knight shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's very unlikely that there is an anti-monitoring system set up by Batman in the Hall of Justice. Our cameras may be detected by him. It's better to use magic."
"So, sir, do you have a way to put my soul into this body?" Schiller asked, looking at Doctor Strange.
Doctor Strange hesitated a little. He said, "I am surprised that you would trust a stranger you just met not long ago. If I am not mistaken, you are also a player, right?"
Doctor Strange used magic to cover up the word "player", and it sounded like he had suddenly coughed. Schiller nodded, and Doctor Strange said, "No wonder, then our interests are the same, and even if something goes wrong, the most we lose is some points."
"Do you need to prepare anything?"
"No need." Doctor Strange shook his head and said, "Come with me, it will be done soon."
