Chapter 391 Target
On stage was Zatanna performing magic, and a black canary whose body was hidden behind a curtain, with only its head showing.
Behind the curtain, something was happening that the audience was unaware of.
Connors transformed back into his normal form from his tabby cat persona. Looking at the black canary observing the audience from behind, he decided to investigate the other party further.
The reason she did this was that an hour earlier, when Black Canary learned that the tabby cat was Connors, her body began to react in a series of ways.
And instead of abandoning the tabby cat, she held it even tighter in her arms.
"Who are you—" the black canary asked knowingly, gritting her teeth to keep quiet and trying to steady herself, her eyes scanning the faces of the audience below.
"You already have the answer in your heart. There are only three people actually involved in this magic trick. There are no other staff members."
Connors placed his hands on Black Canary's slender waist and whispered in her ear.
"What are you doing?!" the black canary whispered, both embarrassed and annoyed.
The mission had to continue, and she could only try her best to keep her face hidden behind the veil from showing any abnormality, but her body was honest, and the flush on her face gradually spread to her ears.
"And you should say 'thank you,' not 'who are you' or 'what are you doing?'"
Connors said:
"And if I had to answer, the answer would be just one word: 'you'."
This answer could only be understood by people who speak Chinese. English speakers would be baffled by the structure of the words, but Black Canary happened to understand Chinese, and she understood what Connors meant.
Her face turned even redder, but her body became even more honest, and she even began to actively respond.
At the front of the stage, Zatanna saw that the Black Canary had not sent a signal that "the wizard Tina has been discovered," so she could only do her best to continue performing.
During a break in the magic show, Zatanna glanced at the location of the black canary out of the corner of her eye. With her magical abilities, she understood almost instantly what was happening there.
"oh!-"
Zatanna gasped, hoping the two wouldn't forget the true purpose of the magic show because they were exercising. Black Canary gripped the curtain tightly to avoid revealing what was happening behind her, suppressing her voice as she scanned the area below the stage.
Finally, a woman who looked no different from an ordinary person appeared before her eyes.
The woman was wearing a very ordinary grass-gray shirt and had short, brown hair that reached her ears.
This person was not the wizard Tina they were looking for, but one of Black Canary's teammates from their last mission in Las Vegas, named Dottie.
She, along with the Black Canary, was also cursed with a blood curse.
"Tina isn't here, but Dottie is—"
Amidst the uneven breathing caused by the constant knocking, Black Canary began to ponder. She was almost certain that her former friend Dottie had been parasitized by the witch Tina.
But now was not the time to alert them. Black Canary continued to observe the audience to see if there were any people she had overlooked, and gave Zatanna a signal using a pre-arranged method.
The code is for her, as the female assistant, to expose Zatanna's magic trick.
Taking advantage of this eye-catching opportunity of "the female assistant exposing the magician's magic tricks," the two of them subtly surround the wizard Tina, who is now being possessed by Dottie, from the left and right sides of the stage.
But Connors was still behind Black Canary; she couldn't just walk onto the stage naked.
"Hurry, hurry up," the black canary whispered pleadingly.
Connors heeded the advice and sped up.
After a while, with Connors' help, the Black Canary returned to the stage, now dressed in her sequined costume again. It was Connors' turn to perform next.
A performance that does not require going on stage.
He only needed to use his abilities to silently isolate the area within a one-kilometer radius, while the task of capturing the witch Tina was left to Zatanna herself.
This was Zatanna's request; she desperately needed to gain experience by personally fighting wizards capable of casting blood curses.
The magic show ended when Black Canary exposed Zatanna's trick, but Zatanna continued the performance using techniques, implying that even her assistant's exposure was part of the act.
This is a necessary measure to protect the reputation of Zatanna, the stage magician.
The guests who came to enjoy the show were regulars at the Las Vegas casinos, and they immediately got up and flocked to the casino after the show ended.
Zatanna and Black Canary exchanged a quick glance and moved closer to each other before their target could leave.
"Dottie! Long time no see! I thought I was seeing the wrong person on stage just now."
The black canary embraced its target enthusiastically.
This companion named Dottie is only a suspect; Black Canary cannot yet confirm whether her body has been possessed by the witch Tina. Zatanna also plays along, removing her magic hat and bowing elegantly.
"Hello, Dottie."
"So it's Dina and her magician partner," Dottie seemed to have recognized Black Canary long ago, her face showing no sign of distress except for surprise. "Would you like to come to my apartment for a while? It's not far from here."
Her words were exactly what the black canary wanted to hear. Zatanna called out softly, and Connors, once again transformed into a tabby cat, ran over.
In Dottie's apartment, the three women sat together, while Connors remained asleep, lying in Black Canary's crotch.
"How have you been lately?" Black Canary asked, suppressing her shyness. "You stayed here after the last mission. I think something must have happened to you."
Dottie looked worried.
"Yes, I met a guy here who promised me a pretty good life, but he ran away."
"You've lost a lot of weight." Black Canary grasped Dottie's hand. "You could have called me. I could have helped you with anything." She subtly adjusted her posture, ready to pounce and subdue Dottie at any moment, but Dottie still appeared completely normal.
"I'm sorry, I appreciate that you think that way, but I've just had enough, enough of life and all of this."
"You're a magician, right? Ordinary people just think of you as a magician, but I know you possess real magic. Can you turn me into a bird, or a cat, or something like that?"
Zatanna kept one hand hidden from Dottie's sight, ready to unleash her ironic magic at any moment. But faced with this seemingly helpless and harmless woman, she was unsure whether she was the target of the possession.
"I'm sorry, I can't do that. If I turn you into an animal and then abandon you, you might never be able to come back."
"You will become more reliant on animal instincts than on the human brain. You will forget your favorite songs, your favorite colors, your loved ones, and even forget that you were once a human being."
"Forever and ever."
Zatanna decided to get down to business. After dealing with the witch Tina, there would be plenty of time to comfort this woman named Doti.
She was about to begin recounting the blood curse when she discovered that her hands suddenly wouldn't obey her commands:
"The glass has changed!"
Zatanna turned Doti into a glass statue.
Black Canary instinctively loosened her grip on Doti's hand. She saw that Zatanna's eyes were empty and her expression was distorted, as if the two of them were fighting for control within the same body.
