Adam acted as the driver, Xu Fu continued to sleep, and Zatana carefully examined the tall man standing in front of her.
I have no spots or odor, my heartbeat is normal, my breathing is normal, my skin is soft, and there is no sign of swelling. Am I wrong?
What about that unique magic wave?
Zatana was losing confidence. Tears were streaming down her face. She couldn't think straight, so she stopped thinking, closed her eyes like Xu Fu, and lay down on the car seat to sleep.
After leaving the airport, the car sped along the sparsely populated forest highway, passing through the scenic Mississippi River area. After an hour and a half, a road sign for Greenlawn appeared ahead.
The road to town was in terrible condition, full of potholes and flooded, so the three of them had to park their car in a parking lot a few minutes away from town and walk the rest of the way.
Zatanna examined the road sign and couldn't help but exclaim, "I never imagined our destination would be here!"
"do you know?"
Zatanna nodded, her expression turning somewhat serious, and then...
"The town of Greenlaun is the gateway to the swamp forest" and "is very famous in the magical Rice community."
"5.7, is that right?"
Xu Fu smiled in confusion: "I can't even find it on a map. This place has a really nice name." Zatanna snorted coldly and explained.
"The city itself doesn't mean anything; what's important is the swamp forest next to it. It's said that this forest possesses powerful magical energy, and powerful magical creatures are born where magical energy gathers. And no magical creature will treat humans kindly, so the swamp forest is also known as a forbidden zone for humans."
I don't know why you want to go there, but I warn you you'd better be careful.
The three left the road and walked further ahead, where the vegetation became increasingly lush, and they could even spot traces of wild animals.
As he walked through the grove, a scene immediately came into view: a stone bridge spanning the stream, with a row of medieval-style buildings looming in the distance.
The town of Greenlaun is right here.
Chapter 1090 Establishing Power!
The city seems to be stuck in the 19th century: there are no power lines, no mailboxes, no telephone booths, and the dirt roads and low wooden houses create the illusion of a time warp.
The town was sparsely populated, with only two wisps of smoke rising from the kitchen stoves in the distance. At the entrance of the village, an old dog was tied to the fence and lay on the ground. It didn't bark at the newcomers, but just looked at them with indifferent eyes.
"Madam Mage, can you detect magical fluctuations in other people?"
“I can sense how the other person uses magic.” He paused, then added, “Don’t call me Lady Mage anymore, you can call me Lady Zatanna.”
Xu Fu glanced down at her shirt and shook his head: "The word 'lady' applies to mature, sexy women, and your physique fits that description. You're too young; if I remember correctly, you're not even twenty yet."
Zatanna retorted, "You talk as if you're something special."
How do you know I'm not big if you haven't tried?
Zatanna: "..."
This guy is harassing me? Damn it, I really was molested by a minor!
Xu Fu coughed and said, "I heard you have the magic to read other people's memories."
Zatanna was taken aback. "How did you know?"
"I think so!"

Xu Fu smiled happily: "Bringing you here was the right choice. With you with us, you'll save yourself a lot of trouble."
Zatana was filled with confusion. Xu Fu's words seemed to have a deeper meaning, making her uneasy. This guy wasn't just here for an adventure; there must be something else going on.
After hesitating for a moment, he couldn't help but say
“What exactly are we doing here? I have to warn you, my level of magic is very low, and it sometimes fails. Don’t expect me to deal with magical creatures in the forest.”
"Don't worry, mage, everything will be alright. It's not your turn to act yet. As for the target, you'd better not know yet."
The ultimate goal of this operation was to gather evidence of President Joel Nash's collusion with a cult, and this evidence was classified. Not only Zatanna, but even the FBI agents who came to provide support were likely kept in the dark.
Chatting and laughing along the way, the three entered a small town. The town was sparsely populated, but there was a small tavern.
The tavern had a unique name, "Green Abyss." The man looked only a few years old. On the wooden stake outside the gate, a man wearing a windbreaker and tightly cut trousers appeared to be middle-aged. Upon closer inspection of his clothes, the man was about thirty-four or thirty-five years old. He had a cold expression and his face was expressionless. His straight eyebrows gave off a strange sense of menace.
Upon seeing Xu Fu, he frowned slightly.
"Isn't this where babies live?"
Xu Fu stood up and walked towards the tavern, ignoring him. The middle-aged man looked at the three of them with a puzzled expression, lingering on Xu Fu and Zatana for a moment before shifting his gaze to the taller and stronger Adam. The two were alike, except that the middle-aged man's coldness stemmed from countless murders, while Adam lacked human emotions; he was a ghost.
The middle-aged man frowned, his muscles taut, exuding a mocking fighting spirit like a hunter facing his own kind.
Zatana stuck out her tongue, thinking to herself that this person was really scary.
Xu Fu was somewhat annoyed after hearing this, and he turned around.
"Teach him a lesson"
Adam lunged forward, his enormous fist swinging upward at an unimaginable speed.
The middle-aged man instinctively raised his hands.
Punch
His fist collided with his palm, and a tremendous force shook the middle-aged man beyond recognition. The wall behind him collapsed with a crash, and the middle-aged man staggered down the corridor with the splinters of wood.
The fight happened so suddenly that the FBI officials who were having a meal were stunned.
Xu Fu walked into the store and opened his arms to the beautiful girl with violet eyes and purple hair who was sitting behind the bar.
"Emily, it's been a long time!"
"Lu...Xu Fu, what are you doing here?"
Xu Fu stepped forward, embraced her delicate face, and kissed her hard: "Did you miss me?"
The girl was struck dumb; blood gushed from her cheeks at a visible speed. She became dazed and confused, sensing the unfamiliarity of her surroundings. Like a frightened little rabbit, she rushed out without daring to lift her head.
Xu Fu laughed and hugged Emily, speaking in a low voice that only the two of them could understand.
The atmosphere was very strange. Everyone looked at each other, their minds filled with questions.
What's the situation?
Who is this boy?
Jake Harvey's close assistant, Greenwood project manager Nelson Decker, extends his right hand.
Hello Scarecrow
"It's best not to call me a ghost. I have a handsome face, and even if you don't recognize me now, everyone here will recognize me in the future."
Xu Fu glanced around the room, his cold gaze falling on each person: "My name is Xu Fu-Xiao, codename Ghost. The person you've been waiting for, from now on, you will all be under my command."
The people's faces immediately turned grim. They were all elites from different departments, the elite of the elite. Even if the bureau chief summoned them, they would not obey a mere upstart.
Nelson frowned.
"it's useless"
Xu Fu grinned: "Your boss hired me to set the rules, not to follow them. If you want to win, take my advice; if you don't, the door is open, you can leave."
The middle-aged man who had been knocked down by Adam's punch stood up and said in a hoarse voice.
"Why should we listen to you, you hairless Asian?"
Xu Fu snapped his fingers.
"Adam!"
Adam stepped forward, grabbed the middle-aged man's cheek with his thick palm, dug his fingers into his cheek, lifted him into the air with one hand, and punched him hard in the stomach with his right fist.
In an instant, the middle-aged man lost his composure and began to tremble like a boiled shrimp.
The tavern owner was an old man in his sixties with gray hair, a thick beard, and dirty clothes. He could smell a foul odor from afar. Hearing the commotion, he hurriedly ran down from the second floor.
"Damn it, what are you doing? Don't fight in my tavern and bang your head against my wall! Who knocked down my wall?"
Xu Fu lingered on the boss's dark palm for a moment, then pointed to the struggling middle-aged man and explained.
"These two gentlemen took turns having sex with a sexy lady last night, and then they ran into each other the next day, and you know..."
crowd:"..."
Elderly person: "..."
“I don’t care why you’re here, you’ll pay for breaking down my wall, you…” The old man looked Xu Fu up and down. “Child, are you here camping too?”
"No, I'm here to arrest you."
"capture?"
The boss frowned, puzzled: "What are you grabbing?"
Xu Fu pulled up a chair and sat down, then slowly said, "I've heard that there's a group of cultists in the swamp forest who believe in the devil. My goal is to capture them, tear them to pieces, and then throw them into the sea to feed the fish."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sinister and terrifying silence filled the air.
Not to mention that the bar owner was the boss here, even the FBI agents who arrived were completely bewildered.
