Joanna admitted that she was indeed a little confused, and at that moment, she also thought about using some methods that cannot be proved by science to help her sort out her thoughts.

But... a strange man with a red cloak and a moustache?

Come on, none of the mysterious characters in the TV series can create such an image.

In Joanna's opinion, the man who was smiling flatteringly at her didn't even have enough basic deception skills.

Joanna replied with an apologetic smile: "Sorry, I went the wrong way just now, I didn't mean to..."

"No. Believe me, you didn't knock on the wrong door." The man put away his smile and interrupted Joanna seriously.

"I just……"

The man turned sideways: "Come in, I'm sure you need some help."

Joanna carefully looked inside the house.This basement should be used exclusively for consulting business. Although the space is small, it is decorated very practically.A comfortable sofa, a rocking chair, and a round table with tarot cards and candles.The room is connected to another room, and the two rooms are separated by a beaded curtain.It looked like the kitchen at the back was used to prepare tea.

Standing at the door, with just one glance, one can see that there cannot be any ambushes or traps in the house.

The man graciously let the door open: "If you are concerned about safety, I can open the door. Trust me, you will need the next advice."

The man's tone is firm, with a kind of confidence that "you will miss a hundred million if you don't listen to me".

Joanna hesitated for two seconds, and finally stepped into the door.

She deliberately walked behind the man so that the door behind her would not be closed suddenly.Regarding her vigilance, the man didn't express any opinion, and very politely asked her to sit down on the sofa used by the guests.

Joanna looked at the furnishings in the room and asked, "So...you are a Tarot Master?"

The man spread his hands: "You can call me whatever you want. You can also call me by my name directly. I'm Strange."

Joanna nodded and looked at Strange: "Hello, Mr. Strange. I guess... I don't need to introduce myself, right? I mean... It seems that you don't need to know the names of the guests in your business. .”

Strange smiled: "Of course. Then, it seems that you have some unresolved troubles, ma'am."

Joanna didn't answer directly, but just looked at the tarot cards piled up on the table: "No need to turn over the cards? Are you just talking nonsense like this?"

Strange glanced at the cards on the table: "Tarot cards are just tools. From the moment I saw you, I saw a lot of information in you. So... I don't need to use them anymore."

Joanna narrowed her eyes and said jokingly: "Then if you don't use the cards, will you still charge me 3 dollars?"

Strange looked directly into Joanna's eyes: "No. You can see it as an advertising promotion, and I don't charge money today."

Joanna sat up vigilantly after hearing this.

Strange still stared at her intently, as if he was really checking her for some future signal: "You are at a crossroads, but you don't know which direction to go."

Regarding this kind of plausible statement, Joanna just smiled, neither admitting nor denying it.

"You tried to hide your inner thoughts, but someone spoiled your good deed." Strange stared at Joanna with a firm tone.

This time, Joanna seemed less calm.She faded her smile, and her expression became serious.

"You're hesitating." Strange squinted his eyes, and like all magic sticks, he pretended to show an expression of "I'm trying to see through your story".

"In that case, does Mr. Strange have any suggestions?"

Strange relaxed his expression and leaned back on the chair: "Follow your true thoughts, assuming nothing happened, and act according to your own preferences. Then..."

"Then?"

"No matter what choice you make, prepare for the worst."

Joanna pondered over Strange's two words, stood up slowly, took out 3 dollars from her bag, and put them on the table: "Your advertisement was very successful, sir. Thank you for your suggestion."

Strange closed his eyes lightly, and nodded to Joanna.He didn't even get up, just sat on the chair and watched Joanna leave.

Until Joanna left the room.He just reached out and picked up the $3.He fumbled for the three banknotes, pursed his mouth, then put the money in his bag without any psychological burden, drew a teleportation circle for himself, and left the room.

Strange's words kept Joanna up all night.She lay on the bed, thinking over and over again, if no one came to her that night, would she keep her tongue of lies?She thought about this question for a long time but could not come up with an answer.Joanna simply changed her mind, sat up, found the banknotes, and carefully analyzed the current situation in the capital.

Don't worry, Batman...

The Justice League with an unknown attitude...

The Avengers, who are not convenient to show up at any time and she is not willing to contact...

Even if contacted, Tony, who was unable to come forward due to various public opinion pressures...

The X-Men who had no friendship with her at all...

The IMF team that has long since disappeared into the vast crowd...

Gotham's high crime rate...

And... the remnants of Hydra.

Joanna threw the pen away, realizing for the first time that she was in such a dangerous situation.

It is true that the tongue of lies may cause her some troubles, but from another perspective, if someone wants to attack her, wouldn't she be helpless without the tongue of lies?

After much thought, she decided to forget about "stripping the tongue of lies" completely.

She has been with this strange power for so long, and she is confident that she can continue to hold it and live safely.

After Natasha received the news that Joanna had started fighting training, she sent a message asking if Joanna had made a decision.

Joanna wasn't going to hide it, and told Natasha quite frankly that she didn't want to get involved in anything, whether they were going to save the world or something else.If anyone wanted to trouble her, she was always there.

After reading the message, Natasha shrugged at her partners: "Look, I tried my best. The persuasion failed. I think we can reply to the Justice League."

Steve pursed his lips and frowned.

Natasha didn't miss Steve's expression, she raised her chin at Steve: "Do you have other opinions?"

"Maybe I should go..."

"Wait a minute." Natasha interrupted Steve's words angrily, and then she was quiet for two seconds, and when she was not so excited, she said again, "Before you put forward your opinion, I have a little question I want to ask you."

Steve nodded: "You say."

"Assume. We tried everything. Everyone took turns to persuade Joanna, but she was so stubborn that she wouldn't enter into it, and refused to cooperate. In this case, the Justice League proposed to forcibly peel off the tongue of lies. , what are you going to do?"

Steve frowned tightly: "That's why I said you should let me try."

"No, Steve, you didn't understand me. Suppose, even you can't persuade. What are you going to do? Help the Justice League catch Joanna? Or pretend you don't know and let the Justice League treat Joanna Do it?"

"I won't let that happen." Steve looked at Natasha with a hint of anger on his face.

Natasha smiled in relief: "You know what? If you try to persuade her, for Joanna, it's like helping the Justice League hunt her down."

"I……"

"Don't be so busy denying Steve. Just think about it, when is Joanna going to say 'no' to you? Even when she's moving on with PR after you guys broke up!"

Natasha's words successfully shut Steve up.The time Steve has been reluctant to recall is also like a behemoth awakened, stretched, and started to move in Steve's thoughts again.

He was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "I have to reply to Batman and the others."

No one spoke anymore, everyone just watched Steve take out his mobile phone and click, then turned and walked to the corner alone.

The reply from the Avengers is undoubtedly not very optimistic news for Batman.After hanging up on Steve, Batman began to think about how to keep the "Tongue of Lies" safe.

Since the Avengers stated that their persuasion failed and did not propose any alternatives, it means that the current attitude of the Avengers is to let Joanna go.Others don't have to worry about it, but Batman, the superhero of Gotham, can't help it.

He stared at the information related to Harley Quinn on the screen, and his brain began to work rapidly.

Joanna's presence in Gotham is hardly a secret.As long as Harley Quinn has the heart, she can find out Joanna's current situation with a random check.Batman doesn't know if Harley Quinn will do something to her old friend, and if she does, how hard she will do it.

To the outside world, the secret of Lie Tongue has not been made public.But given the close relationship between Harley Quinn and Joanna, Batman dare not be careless.

He knows Harley Quinn, and he knows Joker even more.

Joanna, who has a tongue of lies, is simply a sweet potato.Once she was caught, Batman couldn't imagine what kind of bloody storm the Joker could stir up.

He stared at the profile photo of the clown, lost in thought.

The next morning, as soon as Joanna walked into the office, she saw Kroger rushing towards her: "My goddess!"

Joanna:? ? ? ? ?

Kroger hugged Joanna excitedly, and then patted her on the shoulder enthusiastically: "You are simply my goddess! Angel!"

"Wait a minute, it's so early in the morning, I'm a little... nervous when you come out like this."

Crow pulls over the chair and lets Joanna sit down comfortably: "Guess what happened?"

"What good thing?"

"Bruce Wayne's secretary called this morning and said that he would give our newspaper an interview opportunity. And he asked you to go by name."

Joanna smiled coldly when she heard the words: "I don't understand finance, I write crime news. Did he kill someone? Or was he raped? What can I interview him for? You change Mary Go ahead, she has more experience in financial reporting than I do."

"That can't be done. The other party has made it clear that you must go."

Joanna didn't want to see the thoughtful guy at all.She frowned: "I want to resign if you are like this."

"My goddess! I beg you!" Kroger showed a pitiful expression, and almost knelt down. "We waited so hard for such a good opportunity. I was still counting on a turnaround!"

"I really don't know how to interview this kind of person!"

"It's okay! We have prepared all the questions for you. Just go and ask according to the script. For the follow-up report, I will figure out a way! You just need to come forward and don't worry about the rest. Please."

Joanna sighed and nodded feebly.
