When Li Chengfeng emerged from the clash of Ice and Fire, his entire body had transformed into a diamond-like state.
And just by looking at their appearance, it was clear that the still relatively primitive Freeze Gun and Heat Gun could not produce flames of high temperature or absolute zero that could threaten Li Chengfeng's diamond form.
The only regrettable thing was that the prison uniform he had changed into after entering Fox River Prison was completely reduced to ashes under the attacks of Captain Cold and Heat Wave.
Fortunately, he was quick-witted and simultaneously activated his Green Lantern transformation.
Even if the tight battle suit after the Green Lantern transformation was slightly revealing, it was still much better than running around naked.
Especially, he couldn't run naked in front of two grown men!
Was the Republic's shapely backside something just anyone could see?
"Who are You? Are You from Gotham or Star City? Or are You from Hell's Kitchen?"
Snart didn't know Li Chengfeng's identity and could only guess the most likely places that would compete with their Rogues.
He hoped it wasn't someone from Gotham. Although Joker and the Joker Gang had been quiet recently, the other people in Gotham were terrifying when they went crazy.
And most importantly, these crazy villains from Gotham never accepted negotiations.
"Hmm... to be precise, I'm here on behalf of Washington."
Li Chengfeng replied, feigning profundity.
It was not easy to encounter a villain or hero who wasn't so well-informed, and he hoped to keep this identity a secret until the last moment.
Washington?
That's a special district! Besides HYDRA, which villain would be so blind as to go to that area?
"Shhh, don't ask. This is for your own good."
Li Chengfeng's figure flickered, instantly disarming Captain Cold and Heat Wave.
Snart looked at Li Chengfeng and couldn't help but sigh.
Then he raised his hands.
This surrender gesture was exceptionally practiced and smooth.
"Why aren't You Rogues staying in Central City? What are You doing in Illinois? You even spent a fortune to buy the entire prison."
"We don't know anything."
Mick Rory replied gruffly. He hadn't raised his hands, but he knew that without his weapon, he wouldn't be a match for the person in front of him no matter what.
Who could withstand someone who could transform into a diamond?
"No, You know. You must know."
Li Chengfeng was not ambiguous. He directly materialized a Will Green Light into a Sword of Damocles, suspending it over Mick Rory's head.
Snart and Mick Rory were clearly gambling that Li Chengfeng didn't understand the situation here.
And in fact, Li Chengfeng didn't understand, but as long as these two, who understood more than him, were afraid of death...
Then everything would be easy to handle.
"I'll give You five seconds. Tell me the purpose of your coming here and your employer!"
"We really..."
"5... What do You want to explain? Whatever You explain, the time counts... 4!"
"Our employer is a blond British bastard who wears a trench coat and always has a cigarette in his mouth! He drew a magic circle on my back to collect the rumored artifact that recently fell here!"
Snart finally abandoned his usual melodious tone and sold out his employer at the fastest speed of his life.
But a blond British scoundrel in a trench coat...
"So You were hired by that scumbag Constantine?"
"That's right, Constantine is very interested in this artifact that fell from the sky!"
Li Chengfeng didn't rush to retract the Sword of Damocles materialized by the Will Green Light, but instead gestured to Snart with his eyes...
To take off his shirt.
"What do You mean?"
Snart's momentary defensiveness and strange look almost made Li Chengfeng choke.
"I'm not gay, You closet case! I want to see the magic tattoo Constantine left on You!"
Snart was also embarrassed for a moment. Who told him to think crookedly?
When under someone else's roof, one has to bow one's head.
He took off his shirt, and a precise and intricate magic circle appeared in Li Chengfeng's sight.
Since gaining Doctor Doom's Teleportation magic, Loki's Astral Projection, and Hela's Necromancy, Li Chengfeng had also thoroughly mastered much knowledge about magic.
Although he hadn't reached the level of Doctor Strange or Doctor Doom, he had already officially entered the top ranks of the magic side.
Even so, Li Chengfeng could only roughly discern that this magic circle indeed had a containment function.
"Since You've been lurking here for so long, can You answer a few questions for me?"
"We can answer, but can You please put this thing away first?"
Mick Rory pointed to the Sword of Damocles that was casting a green glow on his bald head. He swallowed hard, thinking that it was quite good to admit defeat in time.
Li Chengfeng shook his head but raised the Sword of Damocles slightly higher.
"Since rumors of artifacts and supernatural events appeared in this prison, four FBI agents have come here. Do You know what they experienced?"
"Agents?" Snart and Mick Rory exchanged glances. "Are You talking about those black suits who were invited to the Warden's office? They just walked in and then walked out. Nothing happened."
"Nothing happened?"
"Actually, even if something did happen, we wouldn't know, because that Warden has never left that tower-shaped office."
Li Chengfeng frowned.
That's right, the mission brief also mentioned this strange Warden.
It seems that to solve the Agents' amnesia problem, he would have to meet this Warden.
And what was that so-called Divine Vessel?
Li Chengfeng pondered for a moment and decided to deal with the so-called "artifact" first.
Anyway, that Warden was a recluse who refused to leave his office, so he could deal with him later.
"Shhh!"
Just as Li Chengfeng was about to speak, Snart immediately put his index finger to his lips.
The moment the shushing ended, a strong, powerful pulsating sound came from the deepest part of the prison block.
"Thump... thump..."
The sound was heavy, like the beating of an incredibly giant heart.
And listening closely, Li Chengfeng could distinguish that these were not two continuous pulsations from the same direction, but two locations pulsating one after another, as if communicating...
"Behind the death row section, there's actually another area, but no guards have ever gone there. They seem to deliberately pretend that place doesn't exist."
Mick Rory pointed to the dimly lit, shadowy passage, as if it led not to a prison section but to the esophagus of some giant beast.
"The so-called 'ignoring any sounds after ten o'clock' refers to these two sounds that will start punctually."
"Alright, let's go then."
So Snart and Mick Rory could only lead the way, walking towards the unknown path ahead...
The never-opened prison block door was also easily torn open by Li Chengfeng.
The maximum-security area had still had some human presence, but after stepping in here, it was completely desolate.
Only the pulsating sound in their ears became clearer.
Finally, they passed through the long corridor, and suddenly, a wide circular hall opened before them. In the center of the hall was a deep meteorite crater.
Snart, however, seemed to have a sudden illness, sliding down into the depths of the meteorite crater. The closer he got to the center, the brighter the magic circle on his back became.
Finally, as Snart knelt exhausted before the artifact, the magic circle was fully activated.
Only then did Li Chengfeng realize that he had analyzed the direction incorrectly.
This was not a containment magic circle, but a reverse containment magic circle, which meant...
Release.
In a grand burst of light, a figure emerged from the magic circle on Snart's back.
He lit a Marlboro cigarette with a "click."
He took a deep drag, smoking half of it, and after an epic lungful, he raised his head despondently.
"Good evening. I'm John Constantine."
"This superpower user from who knows where, it's a pity, but this artifact is mine now."
