Zatanna still remembers hiding behind the curtain of the theater stage when she was a child, curiously peeking at her father Giovanni's magic show.

She saw white rabbits and doves jumping out of her mind, and she saw colorful light spots flying in the sky like snowflakes.

So many miracles, so many surprises.

There was endless applause from the audience, and Zatanna looked proudly at everyone's eyes, which shone with admiration and surprise, like stars shining brightly.

And in little Zatanna's eyes, she saw a grand picture that far exceeded the entire world.

Especially the flames burning when the magic wand in Giovanni's hand rotates, it is as gorgeous as fireworks and more wild than any explosion. It was like a small storm, and it was like a phoenix flying out of Nirvana. It finally swallowed Giovanni and became Giovanni.

"What did you see?" Cassandra's voice brought Zatanna out of her thoughts and back to reality.

But the flame never died.

Ali-Ka-zu's magical cabinet, now in flames, unleashed this flame.

That was the power sealed away by the seven people who originally reported to the Scouts.

"Ali-Kazu has been wrong all along." Zatanna's outstretched palm touched the blazing flame. There were tears on her face. She wanted her father to return, but she knew , in this reincarnation, that is the destined ending, and changing one's fate against fate will only make more people pay the price.

"Croton is responding to this power!" The bright but slightly hollow eyes of the mysterious girl Xiaoxue reflected the firelight, but in the center of the firelight was the dice spinning on her palm. "It seems It's guiding us. This force is related to me, and it's related to you, Zatanna, what does this mean?"

The rotation of Croton became more and more violent, and the energy of the magic dice produced some extremely exquisite resonance with the existence in the flame.

They come from the same lineage.

The new gear of destiny also began to rotate violently at this time.

"What are you talking about? I spent a lot of money to buy that, Xiaona, you'd better make it worth the money." Cassandra's pale eyes looked extremely uneasy, and the "Phantom Street" on her neck The pendant given by the "guest" shone with dangerous light. She knew that after the magic cabinet was destroyed, a huge amount of energy was released, and that energy was converging into a physical state like a fire storm.

"At that time, Ali Kazu thought that he had created this magic cabinet with his superb skills, but little did he know that everything was arranged. The magic cabinet has been waiting for the seven Newsboys, and has been waiting for them. Make an irreparable mistake, and then it will be successfully selected by Ali Kazu and become a top-secret passage." Zatanna flipped her palm, and the flame began to tremble accordingly.

This is very strange, because the flame should be extremely hot, but in fact all three people felt the high temperature, but when Zatanna's hand touched the flame, there was only a little warmth.

"You mean...Ali-Ka-zu was used?" Cassandra asked with a frown, "Oh my God, that's the archmage known as Merlin of the Slums! You can use him and even push him into eternal doom. The guy from the abyss..."

"There are many hidden beings in this world. They are guarding the so-called balance and order. They should also be regarded as necessary gears in creation." A man's voice appeared very calmly from behind the three of them. .

Cassandra and Zatanna didn't have to look back to know who this sudden man was.

Even if they don't know the true identity of this man at all.

"They create, they change, they pull the thread. And there are seven of them in total, and there are always seven chess pieces they use every time." The Phantom Stranger walked slowly, his cold eyes under the brim of his hat in the shadows Xia Shuoshuo shone brightly, "Ali Kazu was a member of the Seven. The Newsboys were supposed to correct the mistakes of that era, but all time was messed up. The previous plans had to be torn down and started over, and new weaving had to be done. It has to start. Ali Kazu became a thread, not only him, but also the former newsboys. Without them, there would be no magic cabinet, let alone the threads that are beginning to pull now."

The Phantom Stranger stood next to Cassandra, and Cassandra's eyes, which had always been a shrewd businessman, became a little gentler, even though she was still annoyed that she didn't know who her elusive boyfriend was.

Zatanna did not look back, she was still staring at the flame. She knew that the Phantom Stranger was right. This man could always know the truth. He was also a cog and a guide in creation.

Zatanna's fingers began to move rhythmically as if conducting a symphony.

At this moment, Zatanna once again saw the scene when she first learned magic from her father Giovanni as a child.

She knew that Giovanni had magic, that her missing mother had magic, and that she had seen real miracles and not these deceptive tricks.

Zatanna didn't understand why Giovanni had to teach her these complicated tricks like a rope-turning game. She could obviously do better with just a few thoughts or a few words. She even directly surpasses those magic masters, and she can show the greatest miracles to the world.

Seeing is deceiving.

Zatanna moved her fingers almost subconsciously, relying on instinct, and the flames seemed to have begun to weave again, and Giovanni's diary floated in front of Zatanna. It opened the pages and began to continue. of flipping.

Xiaoxue's magic dice also slowly approached.

Zatanna, logs, magic dice and flames gradually formed a strange magic circle.

The world is full of lies, Zatanna.

Giovanni once said.

Magic is the most dangerous lie.

That's not a miracle, and it's not a shortcut. It is the most dangerous path and the most complicated disguise, because its end point is the truth of the entire creation.

No one can touch the truth, but we still have to go on, just like our life, just like our destiny.

Everything depends on our choice, but before that, you have to be prepared.

Understand the lie, peel off the outer pretense, and at the same time, we are protecting ourselves.

Especially you, Zatanna.

You are my daughter, you are my most precious treasure.

You showed me the truth.

"Thank you, Dad..." Zatanna suddenly clenched her fists while choking, and the scattered flames now gathered into a ball of light made of countless silk threads, which also wrapped the magic dice.

Xiaoxue's eyes widened in surprise, because Croton had never obeyed anyone's orders except her.

Now, in front of Zatanna, the world is divided into several parts. She sees different forks in a dark road, and she sees the truth that Giovanni said.

Because Zatanna is also an important cog, Giovanni always knows that he protects her and he protects the key.

"Thank you, Xiaoxue." Zatanna said with a smile, "You guided me to find this path. Now, it's my turn to perform!"
