The situation with the Witch Fire is not good.
Many strands of her wine-red Shaxuan hairstyle have been torn out, and her face and hands look like they've been scratched by a cat, covered with blood marks.
But as someone who has been controlled by Hecate, she's in a relatively decent state now.
She hasn't died, nor gone insane, but she has lost her strength, and having been attacked by a group of girls reminiscent of a sorority, she's now feeling somewhat disillusioned.
"Witch Fire, can you hear me?"
The Gorilla shuffled forward two steps, holding the Treasure Sword in his hand.
"Yes... Bo Bo, I'm very sorry." Witch Fire lay on the charred floor, turned her head to the side, not daring to meet the Gorilla's eyes.
"That damn witch, she killed my friends, boo hoo hoo..."
The adults arrived, and Trish, whose nerves had been stretched tight, finally relaxed and couldn't help but begin to cry.
She collapsed into Night Shadow's arms nearby, emitting a fawn-like cry of sorrow.
Among the girls with her, Night Shadow and Raven were ones Su Ming could recognize, one a member of the Shadow Contract Team, the other a member of the Teen Titans, girls who had weathered a lot.
But at the moment, their faces were full of sorrow, wiping tears alongside Trish.
Night Shadow's magic could only be used for teleportation related to the Shadow Realm. As for Raven, her powers come from her father, the Three Palaces of the Demon King of the Other Plane, so her magic functions normally.
However, due to their combat experience, when Witch Fire lost control, they were able to react quickly, pulling Trish into the passage of the Shadow Realm, and saving their lives.
Donna, familiar with them, hurried over to comfort them, quickly turning the scene into four people crying together.
This emotion really is contagious.
Albella went to the bathroom behind the bar to wash her face, needing to calm herself after continuous spellcasting. Su Ming, after indulging in the sight of a crying Amazon with mischievous delight, decided to join Bo Bo in observing Witch Fire.
He could see that the mark on her forehead had already faded, not only was Hecate's control gone, but even the one-fifth of power she had left had been extracted.
Su Ming took off his helmet, stroked his chin, the situation... didn't match the information Circe provided.....
She claimed that those marked would have their souls burned through. For now, aside from being weak, Witch Fire seemed quite alright.
Circe has never been trustworthy, countless ancient mariners have proven this, that Mediterranean Sea witch surely duped them, and now the question is how many lies she told.
Bo Bo paid no attention to the questions in Deathstroke's mind, continuing to inquire to Witch Fire.
"Do you still want to kill us now?"
"No, I never intended to kill anyone, it was just beyond my control." Witch Fire's dusty and bloodied face was streaked by tears.
Albella emerged at some unknown time, standing behind the Gorilla, water droplets marking her hair.
"Wow, the moment I come out, I see you've made so many women cry, Bo Bo, if you were human, you'd definitely be the number one jerk."
The Gorilla put away his Night Blade, as he observed that Witch Fire was no longer a threat, giving Albella an annoyed glance.
"Don't say things that so easily lead to misunderstandings, like I made them cry? This is all the world's fault."
Su Ming reached out to lift Witch Fire from the ground, placing her on a nearby booth sofa to rest.
As for Bo Bo's words, better left unsaid, as saying them makes one sound like an absolute jerk.
It's not my fault, it's the world's fault...
This is a sign of impending doom.
"Alright, Witch Fire ma'am, although we're meeting for the first time, the matter is urgent right now, can you tell us what you saw during your control?"
"The moon, I was trapped on the moon."
Su Ming furrowed his brows, this is impossible, even though Superman almost reconstructed the moon, it indeed can support people, but if someone were trapped there, he would immediately know.
Witch Fire raised her hand, wiping her face, the tears flowing into her wounds felt like they were burning, she knew Deathstroke misunderstood.
"Not the moon we usually refer to, but the moon, it's Hecate's Moon of Magic, her source of power, a conceptually abstract Magic Dimension that non-Casters cannot see."
"I understand, do you smoke?" Su Ming offered her a cigarette to calm her nerves, lighting one for himself too: "Hecate claims to be the Three-Phase Goddess, with the Divine Emblem combining new moon, full moon, and crescent moon, she is one aspect of magic, so naturally she can create a moon within."
Witch Fire raised her head, gratefully looking at him, nodding repeatedly: "You're right, when I was controlled, my soul was trapped inside Hecate, on a silver magic moon."
"And then? What happened? How did you return to the bar?" Su Ming asked about the crucial part.
"Hecate extracted the powers within me, although these magics never belonged to me, nor were under my control, afterward, she expelled me from the world of souls, I was of no use to her."
Witch Fire took a drag from the cigarette, coughing continuously as the tobacco from the Otherworld made her choke.
Su Ming's heart moved, if she was trapped in Hecate's inner world, perhaps...
"On the Moon of Magic, who else was with you?"
"How did you know? Yes, there was Don and Black Orchid, we were all trapped there... perhaps my magic acumen is higher, for they were always in a stupor, soaking in a silver-tinted pool, floating and sinking, only I was conscious, sitting on the shore."
Perhaps the reason for their unconsciousness is not that...
However, it seems Hecate couldn't find them for the moment.
Hecate detained their souls and Deathstroke secured their bodies and the magic energy within them.
Temporarily, there's no guarantee Hecate won't come up with a way to find them.
He should quickly find Diana, first contact Batman, see what the satellites of the Justice League have discovered.
Given Diana's character, upon regaining freedom she would want to settle scores right away, so she's definitely searching for him.
This situation is the most troublesome, as both parties are in motion and it's easy to miss each other.
"It seems during your control, you made many enemies, I advise you to find a place to hide." Su Ming suggested to Witch Fire as he pulled out his phone.
"But where could be safe? Thinking about those desperate for revenge for their daughters now makes me feel like I won't live much longer." Witch Fire let out a bitter laugh.
Su Ming shrugged, he wasn't well acquainted with the slain girls nor Witch Fire.
However, given the information she just provided, he decided to point her in the right direction.
"Currently, only the Justice League can protect you, I won't say much about how to go about it," he walked to the side and selected a table that wasn't too badly burnt, placing his mobile on it: "What's your take?"
"It's strange, I can't find Diana."
Even Batman has things he doesn't know, Su Ming didn't know whether to be happy or upset, but he had to figure out a plan.
