One second the person was speaking normally, the next second they turned into a transparent glass statue.
Even someone as experienced in combat as Black Canary was momentarily stunned.
But when Black Canary saw the struggling expression on Zatanna's face, she realized that the target wizard Tina had appeared and had taken control of Zatanna as soon as she appeared.
"Oh my god! Zuckerberg!"
The black canary shrieked, and waves of sound emanated from her mouth in a form almost visible to the naked eye. The crisp "canary hooves" made the possessed Zatanna involuntarily clutch her ears and fall to the ground.
Gaaaa, gaaaa...
Dottie, now a glass statue, was outside the range of the Black Canary's claw attacks, but even the aftershocks were enough to overwhelm her.
The transparent, vitreous body immediately developed numerous cracks.
Black Canary immediately covered her mouth; she didn't want to kill another person with her own hands to save Zatanna.
Connors lazily covered his ears with his paws, ignoring what was happening.
Fortunately, Zatanna seemed to regain her senses after falling to the ground. The struggling expression on her face was gone, but she was still clutching her head, feeling some pain.
"Look what you've done, Zatanna!" Black Canary grabbed Zatanna's shoulders and shook her back and forth. "Change Dottie back to normal!"
Zatanna, however, was confused:
"What? What's wrong?"
Before Zatanna could even understand what was happening, the black canary's face began to twitch again, its eyes rolling back and its expression contorted.
"Great! Now's the chance to kick her!"
With both hands gripping Zatanna tightly, Black Canary suddenly stretched out her leg and turned it towards Dottie.
If that kick lands, Dottie will be reduced to shards of glass, and even if Zatanna uses magic to bring her back, it will only result in a pile of broken pieces of people.
At the critical moment, the tabby cat that Connors had transformed into suddenly began to swell, its skeleton gradually becoming thicker and stronger, its fur becoming denser, and its body growing a hundred times larger.
He transformed into a white tiger with black stripes, blocking the black canary's kick with one paw and flipping the canary aside.
"Scatter the ghosts away!"
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zatanna chanted an ironic spell. White light appeared on the Black Canary's body with each word, and a translucent, ghostly blue object emerged from within its form.
This is the spirit of a medieval wizard named Tina, and also the target of Zatanna and her group's mission.
"ah!!"
As soon as Tina emerged from the Black Canary's body, she let out a shriek, and everything around her was immediately covered with a thin layer of frost.
Just as she was about to take over one of the two girls' bodies again to launch an attack, Zatanna pushed her hands outwards, and a semi-transparent, earth-yellow barrier enveloped her, Black Canary, and Dottie.
"Oh, so you specifically hired a magician to deal with me? Too bad I already spotted you the moment you arrived in Las Vegas."
Tina always appeared to be floating around like a spirit, but she didn't look like the spirits in traditional movies and ghost stories.
She simply stood there with her arms crossed, neither launching any further attacks nor creating any illusions commonly seen in horror movies.
"But it doesn't matter, you're just two little girls anyway." Tina said, then disappeared into thin air.
"She's gone?"
Black Canary regained her senses and looked at Zatanna, still shaken, to confirm.
Zatanna maintained the magic barrier with both hands, and looked around:
"I think so, she's already gone."
"But where did she go? There's only Dottie and me here, both under a blood curse. Where else could she have gone?" Black Canary asked anxiously, looking around.
She was never afraid of anyone when it came to fighting skills, but she was powerless against Tina's invisible soul form after she left her physical body.
"It's actually very simple, Dina, as long as you calm down and think it through," Zatanna said, dispelling the barrier.
The black canary closed its eyes, took a few deep breaths, and its heaving chest gradually calmed down.
"It is known that Connors has isolated the entire casino from the outside world. There are only three types of people here now: gamblers, staff, and the casino owner. Tina has likely made a blood curse with someone other than Dottie, which is why she can come and go as she pleases."
When the black canary opened her eyes again, she had returned to calm. Connors slowly walked over, and she leaned against Connors, who had grown into a tiger.
"If I were Tina, I wouldn't make a blood curse on those staff members, which would mean she would have to work under that identity, and nobody likes going to work."
"The gamblers arrived one after another after being invited to Zuckerberg's magic show. There were many of them and they were a mixed bunch. If Tina made a blood curse with one of them, it might take us a lot of effort to find them."
Zatanna nodded in agreement:
"Perhaps the answer lies in what Tina just said. He already knew the moment we arrived at the casino, and among non-staff members, only the casino owner, Dale, fits the bill."
Neither woman was stupid; they figured out the crux of the matter in less than three minutes after Tina disappeared.
But there was one more thing to do before heading to casino owner Dale's office.
"Zar, you have to protect Dottie. We can't keep an eye on such a fragile piece of glass all the time."
"That's what the black canary said."
"But we can't restore her to human form either, otherwise Tina will definitely find an opportunity to exploit," Zatanna said. "In fact, if it weren't for your strong opposition, I would even like to turn you into a glass statue as well."
"But Tina clearly possessed you just now too," Black Canary asked, puzzled.
Zatanna shook her head and explained:
"This is only temporary. A body without a blood curse will instinctively reject foreign souls, which is why I was able to regain consciousness just now."
"And you, Dina, your body is bound by a blood curse with Tina, she can stay in your body as long as she wants."
Upon hearing this, Connors glanced at the black canary and thought of the black canary's raised buttocks backstage on stage earlier.
With his superhuman abilities and other talents, Connors could theoretically stay inside the Black Canary for as long as he wanted.
But clearly, neither of the two women was interested in that, while Zatanna's eyes lit up as she looked at Connors:
"By the way, we can have him protect Dottie for a short time."
Zatanna is one of the three most important people on Earth who know that Connors owns the Mysterious House.
If you just throw Dottie, who has turned into glass, into the Secret House, even Superman won't be able to destroy it for a while. There's simply no safer house than this.
