23. Containers

(I seemed to have called the name of the great god Osiris wrong before... I have sinned, so don't blame me. I don't know much about Egyptian mythology. I'm sorry, everyone.)

"Help!"

At the moment the noise started, Du Pengde, who was sitting in the driver's seat, heard Deadpool's scream in a trance.

He looked back at the motel with a little unbearable feeling and just threw Deadpool there, which seemed not good.

Although Deadpool made a mistake first,...

"What? Do you want to accompany him?"

Zatanna's voice rang in the carriage, and the magician said in disdain:

"You men can't walk when they see a beautiful woman, right? If you want to accompany him, you can leave this car for me... and then you can go to die."

"No, I don't, I'm not!"

Du Pengde hurriedly explained:

"I just think, we're throwing Mr. Deadpool there, some..."

"That was asked by him."

Zatanna's tone was filled with a hint of revenge, she said:

"If he acted with us, there would be no such thing as this. He made a mistake first. Let's go, Dupend, let's go back to New York."

"Uh, OK."

Du Pengde stepped on the accelerator, and the black car quickly merged into the night.

The New York driver took a look at the photo of his wife Geeta who was placed on the dashboard.

He shook his head, trying to throw some images out of his mind.

"You're thinking about Princess Xia Ke, right?"

Zatanna's faint voice recalled in the back seat:

"Even if you look at your wife's photos, you can't erase the image of that woman, right? Haha, man..."

"I..."

Du Pengde wanted to refute it in embarrassment.

But what Zatanna said was the facts that made him unable to refute them at all.

"You can't blame you."

The magician said coldly:

"You are just an ordinary person. Facing a succubus like Xia Kezhe, not falling into it immediately means that you are determined."

"The influence of natural charm will take some time to dissipate. It is best for you to live outside alone during this period... If you shout Xia Kezhai's name in front of your wife, then you will be done."

"OK."

Du Pengde nodded.

Although Miss Zatanna is a little cold and likes to point out people, she is indeed a good person.

"That sarcophagus..."

Du Pengde glanced curiously at the purple sarcophagus placed under the back seat, and said:

“Which is?”

"What Merlin wants."

Zatanna leaned against the chair, her eyes closed, as if she was resting, she said:

"You are also someone who has followed Merlin, so you don't need to hide these things from you... Merlin is about to return to the world, and this sarcophagus is a very important part."

"But I can't tell you more about the rest, you should understand, this is for your own good."

"Well, I can understand."

Du Pengde was also an agent of SHIELD, and he knew the importance of keeping confidentiality.

He didn't ask any more. At this dusk, he drove all the way to the nearest airport, carrying Miss Zatanna and the purple sarcophagus.

Mr. Merlin is coming back...

This news is really a relief for someone who trusts Mr. Merlin like this.

——————————

Several hours later, as the night fell, Zatanna returned to New York.

She has a safe house here, just where she and Icarus know it, right in the high-end residential area of ​​Manhattan.

Miss Magic did not attract anyone's attention. She opened the door with her sarcophagus, but there was already someone waiting for her in the safe room.

A female angel wearing a black suit, sitting on the sofa, wearing black framed glasses, and a pair of black wings.

When Zatanna opened the door, the angel sitting there drinking coffee turned his head and waved to the surprised lady magician:

"Hi, Zatanna."

“???”

Miss Magician's eyes widened.

She asked:

"Merlin? Why are you in a woman's body?"

“….”

Merlin rolled her eyes helplessly, and she said to Zatanna:

"Really? This is the first question I asked when I met?"

"I'm just curious."

Miss Magician waved her hand, and the sarcophagus floating in the air was sent into the room. She closed the door and walked to Merlin in amazement.

She circled the angel's body twice, and she said maliciously:

"It's great...when walking on the street, there will definitely be many men who will pay attention to you."

"Okay, I'll explain it again."

Merlin put down her coffee cup and she said to Zatanna:

"First of all, I need a body to move in the present world. It has nothing to do with strength, just because of the sequelae after I cut my soul."

"The sunlight will make me very painful..."

"Secondly, in the wasteland, it's already hard for me to find a body that can carry the soul."

Merlin shrugged, and she walked towards the sarcophagus that was placed on the ground, she said:

"In the end...this is probably the last time I borrowed Luther's body, so don't care about the matter itself, it makes no sense."

Merlin stroked the purple sarcophagus, and she felt the special magic contained in the sarcophagus.

She said:

"Hidden in the tomb for thousands of years, it has been made with special techniques to seal any magic coffin that is sufficient to dissipate its vitality. This is exactly what I need..."

"But there is a last step to make it a container for blood and bone rituals."

"What?"

Zatanna walked to Merlin and asked curiously:

"This thing is hard to find, I thought it would be enough."

"It is indeed enough for resurrection of spirits in general."

Merlin whispered:

"But to ensure that the body of the blood and bone ritual revival is enough to carry the power of a hell king, then it is still a little short of... the last point."

"Master of Hell?"

Zatanna widened her eyes, she looked at Merlin, and she said:

"You are talking about you? You tied yourself to that hell? Are you crazy?"

“I have to do that.”

Merlin sighed helplessly, and he said:

"If I don't accept it, I will not be able to escape from the earth. Hell will always retrieve what belongs to it. I can only accommodate it and walk freely in the present world."

"this..."

Zatanna gritted her teeth and said:

"Riana told me that the battle for the king of hell has begun. If you become the king of hell at this time, that means..."

"right."

Merlin reached out and touched Zatanna's hair, and she said:

"I have to join in whether I want it or not, but this is a good thing. I can beat Mephist with justification."

"Don't cry."

Merlin's fingers bounced on Zatanna's cheek, and her fingers were clicked down on the purple sarcophagus. In the sparkling of magic, the jumping runes were printed one by one on the surface of the sarcophagus.

He said:

"Come on, help."

"oh."

Zatanna took out her drawing pen, she looked at Merlin, and she said:

"You just said that the sarcophagus carries blood and bones requires the last step...what do you mean?"

"Blessed by a God of the Underworld."

Merlin said:

"I made a deal with the God of the Underworld in Egypt. He will help us deal with this sarcophagus, making it strong enough to carry the recovery of a hell king in this world."

"Follow this to draw the magic pattern."

Merlin casts some beating magic patterns into the air, and Zatanna immediately picks up the drawing pen and starts to carve the ancient Egyptian eulogy on the sarcophagus.

This process is completed quickly.

A few minutes later, Merlin pulled Zatanara behind her, and she raised her fingers and injected huge magic into the sarcophagus in front of her.

The engraved spells lit up one by one.

The sound of flying yellow sand also sounded in this room.

Light like quicksand scattered from the sky, and several dark blue flames swayed in the sky like ghost fire.

The pale wind blew, scattering the curtains of Zatanna's room.

"Dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth..."

Merlin recited it in ancient Egyptian words.

Soon, in the pale halo, the neighing of the war horses sounded, and between the howling wind and the scattered quicksand, a ghost carriage led by four black war horses galloped across the walls and those halos.

It was like rushing out of the underworld, running towards the battlefield with whistling death.

Two guards holding ancient Egyptian scepters and wearing jackal crowns stood in front of the underworld carriage one left and one right.

They were covered in black, ragged cloaks, with black halos swaying behind them like smoke, making them like the truly dead god of death.

Amid the neighing of the war horses, the carriage wrapped in the black halo stopped in front of Merlin and Zatanna.

The underworld guards driving the chariot turned their heads and looked at Meilin.

Merlin looked at them, too.

She said:

"Take it back and tell Your Excellency Osiris that I will fulfill my promise..."

"In the near future, Miss Razan, who is bound by the bondage, will be free, and I will punish those madmen who dare to bully the daughter of the God of the God of the God of the God of the God of the God of the God of the God of the God of the God of the God of the God of the God of the God of the God of the God of the Demon."

"In the name of Raven Maharaja!"

The two underworld guards standing on the ghost chariot nodded slowly like magical images.

A guard jumped out of the carriage and placed the purple sarcophagus on the carriage.

Another guard waved the reins.

The carriage rebooted in the neighing of the ghost war horse, and it roared towards the wall, as if it would completely smash the wall in the next moment, but no...

The moment it hit the wall, the ghost chariot dissipated like a shattered mist.

The light, the wind, and the illusions of quicksand disappeared at this moment.

The dancing window screen also calmed down, the cold air originating from the underworld quickly disappeared, and the frost remaining on the ground was also dying, just like the scene just now that it didn't exist.

But the disappearing sarcophagus means that all this is true.

"Ms. Night Jackal?"

Zatanna, behind Merlin, whispered:

"Who is that? Is another woman who has something to do with you?"

"Just a poor man."

Merlin replied:

"The daughter of Osiris, the god of the underworld, was expelled from the underworld because of his grudges with his father."

"By accident, she was bound by the Dark God Book again, and could only obey the person holding the Dark God Book unconditionally. Speaking of which, her miserable experience still has something to do with me..."

Merlin said:

"The God of Underworld Osiris asked me to solve this matter, and probably also means that the grudge will end."

"Another demigod."

Zatanna stuck out her tongue and said to Merlin:

"You are very awesome now, and you can chat and laugh with the God of Underworld."

"If I tell you who I met yesterday, you'll be frightened, Zatanna."

Merlin reached out to Zhatanna's nose and bounced.

She said:

"The container problem has been solved."

"You have to hurry up and consider other materials you want to use, Merlin."

Zatanna said to Merlin:

"The bone, blood and flesh that are required for the blood and bone ritual are generally specific, but your situation is very special. After analyzing and organizing, Icarus and I found that you have many alternatives to this resuscitation ritual."

"Most of them are stored in the mysterious house and kept by Xuanlan."

She said to Merlin:

"You have to go there in person."

"I gave Riven the key to the mysterious house."

Merlin walked to the window, she looked at the night outside, and said:

"How is my sister doing well recently?"

"they..."

Zatanna said:

"They are very smart. They have cheated out some information from Horus... They should all know that you are not dead now, maybe they are waiting for you to take the initiative to find them."

"But I can't."

Merlin whispered:

"The will of hell is affecting me, and the consciousness of Horcrux split also has an impact on my will. I can't control myself well now. Last night, I almost... almost did something torture."

"I don't feel like letting them see that the only thing that comes back from death is just a monster that can't control himself..."

"They won't care, Merlin."

"They don't care if the one who comes back to them is a monster... I believe you will never become a monster either."

Zatanna hugged Merlin from behind and she whispered:

"I can understand that you are afraid to destroy your impression in their minds."

"But have you considered that you have been hiding them for almost 7 months. If you drag them on, they will be even more depressed."

"You can't just say they're good and keep hiding it."

"They need you, and you need them too..."

Zatanna said:

"It's time to meet them, Merlin, your family miss you very much."

"Then...just go."

Merlin was silent for more than ten seconds, and she took a deep breath.

She said:

"You will come forward and arrange a meeting..."

"But I can't meet my sisters in this way, and arrange them on the border of hell."

She turned around and said to Zatanna:

"In 3 days, 3 days, I will meet them in a reshape form."
