Chapter 270 The God of Lies!
"Hello."
Luo Ming answered casually.
Barbara knew that the villain in the original movie was born due to the influence of the wishing stone.
Now she has not used the wishing stone to make wishes, she is just a person with low self-esteem.
Luo Ming didn't care much about this, he looked at Diana.
"I'm here to pick you up and pick up something from the museum."
"what?"
Diana was a little confused.
"A yellow crystal."
After hearing what Luo Ming said, Diana and Barbara were stunned. At this time, they both knew what Luo Ming was talking about.
Not long ago they were complaining together.
Diana's face became serious, it was worth Luo Ming's personal trip.
There must be something special about that piece of citrine.
No wonder she felt uneasy before and went to check it out for herself.
"Let's go back quickly."
Luo Ming nodded.
Barbara looked confused.
Because the restaurant was not far from the museum, the three quickly returned to the museum.
At this time, the museum was almost ready to close.
It was a little strange to see Diana and others returning, as well as the staff who had not left.
What’s even more strange is that Luo Ming, the boss behind the museum, rarely appears.
Although they were curious, many staff members closed their mouths very discerningly and watched a few people enter the storage room.
Ignoring the gazes of others, Luo Ming and others went to the storage room and found the yellow crystal.
Looking at the crystal in Luo Ming's hand, Barbara said in a joking tone:
"What on earth is this thing? Can it really make wishes?"
After looking at her, Luo Ming nodded seriously.
"What you said is not impossible."
Barbara was startled.
Diana looked serious.
Just when she was about to ask, Luo Ming stopped her.
"Let's talk about it when we get back."
Diana instantly understood that the story behind this citrine that could grant wishes was not suitable for ordinary people like Barbara to know.
"If nothing happens, we'll leave first."
Seeing this, Barbara subconsciously stopped her.
"Mr. Luo Ming, this crystal is stored in the museum by the Bureau of Investigation. You can't just take it away."
Glancing at her, Luo Ming smiled slightly.
"Don't worry, what I did is legal, I am from the Investigation Bureau."
"The person in charge here will explain it to you."
After saying that, Luo Ming took Diana and left.
Before leaving, Luo Ming used his mental power to affect Barbara's memory.
Barbara watched the two people leave like this. Out of duty, she still found Carol.
After Carol learned that it was Luo Ming who took the things away, she did not blame Barbara.
She told Barbara that Luo Ming had a mysterious origin, a powerful background, and seemed to be an official.
It is perfectly legal to take away a piece of stolen property.
When she saw Carol, she didn't care anymore, and Barbara didn't continue to ask questions.
After a period of time, Barbara never saw Diana again. After asking, she learned that Diana had left her job.
After a brief period of doubt, Barbara put the matter of Diana behind her and gradually forgot about it until she completely forgot about Diana and Luo Ming.
Moreover, she gradually forgot even the mysterious wishing stone.
After that she returned to ordinary life.
…………
This way.
Luo Ming and Diana returned to their home.
Only then did Diana express the questions in her mind.
"Luo Ming, what's going on with this crystal?"
Luo Ming did not rush to explain, but mobilized his magic power to attach to the crystal.
"Buzz"
After a burst of light, a line of text composed of light appeared in the air.
"This is."
Diana was stunned when she saw this situation.
Because she could see clearly, these words seemed to appear from the inside of the crystal iron ring.
This line of text also felt familiar to her. Upon closer inspection, she found that this ancient text was the language of the gods.
"Dear, what's going on? Could this crystal be a creation of the gods?"
"Is it really, as you said, a wishing stone that can grant people's wishes?"
Luo Ming nodded and explained:
"In a sense, it does fulfill one's wishes, but of course, like most educational stories, there is a price to pay for wish fulfillment."
"In this world, there are many gods, and they do different things for different purposes. One of them is to create this kind of item."
"They inject their own characteristic power into a certain container to make it possess special powers."
"For example, the Lasso of Truth, its source of power is the concept of truth, not Diana herself. The power of truth is more powerful than Diana or the gods."
"This wishing stone is the creation of Dolos Mendasius, the god of lies in Greek mythology."
"According to today's historical records, it first appeared in the Indus Valley about four thousand years ago."
"Until 146 BC, it suddenly appeared in Carthage, and in 4 AD, the Kush Empire"
"Romulus, the last emperor of the Western Roman Empire, held this stone in his hand when he was assassinated in 476."
"The last record is from an unknown dead city, near the ancient Mayan city."
"This wishing stone appears all over the world with no rules. The only thing they have in common is that the civilizations that owned the stone have ended."
Luo Ming told Diana all the information he found.
As someone who knows the plot, Luo Ming will naturally pay attention to the culprit who caused chaos in the world in the original work.
When it appeared, Luo Ming rushed back from outer space and took it into his own hands.
The gods of the DC world are very powerful in a certain way, because they themselves have become a conceptual existence in a certain way.
For example, Ares, the god of war, can draw strength from war, and as long as there is war, he will not really die completely.
When Diana eliminated him, it was only him at that time. One day in the future, he might still return.
In the same way, the same is true for the God of Lies. He uses deception to realize people's wishes.
In the original work, the rules of this wishing stone are roughly displayed.
The way the wishing stone realizes wishes is not to create it out of thin air, but to turn existing things into wishes.
For example, Barbara made a wish in the original work to become like Diana, and then she gained great strength, physique, etc.
In contrast, Diana lost her power and slowly became weaker.
At the same time, this is also the price of Diana's wish.
When the wishing stone fulfills a person's wish, it will randomly draw something from the person making the wish.
If you wish to become the wishing stone itself like the original villain Max Lord, you can control part of the power of the wishing stone.
For example, ask whether you agree to fulfill your wish, or specify the price the wisher has to pay when realizing your wish, such as lifespan, health, wealth, power, strength, etc.
