【1224】:Goodbye Shadow
"It's not written in the book, but he's the only one who has been to Devil Island and back!"
"Then what?"
"I don't know anymore. There is no record of the news after he came back from the island, whether online or in books." The Midnight Doctor murmured, "...the same goes for the natural eclipse."
Shi Xia asked: "Then what should we do next?"
"We've been searching the library, so I wanted to go to a used bookstore and see if we could find anything," Courtney Whiteman said.
Midnight Doctor: "Chuck and I will try to see if we can unlock Celestial Eclipse's files."
Eclipse's files are classified as top-secret in the Justice Society. With their current permissions, they are not qualified to access them. As for how to increase the permission level?
Do not ask!
The question is that it can’t be done at the moment!
Wildcat: "I...I have to go to work."
Shi Xia: "I have to feed the dog."
???
Everyone looked at Shi Xia with strange expressions. We are all busy investigating the eclipse, but you want to feed the dog?
Are you serious???
"What about you?" Courtney Whiteman turned to look at Su Quan, who was quiet the whole time.
"Come with you."
"OK."
Courtney Whiteman nodded, made an appointment with everyone at Wildcat to meet up after get off work, and then left the fast food restaurant with Su Quan, who had already gotten up, to go to the second-hand bookstore in the town.
The two chatted while walking, and soon came to a second-hand bookstore called the House of Secrets.
The bookstore was very deserted, there was not a single customer, there was only an elderly man, who should be the owner of the bookstore.
"Hi""
Courtney Whiteman said hello with a smile.
Boss: "What can I do for you, miss."
"I was wondering if you have any books about, or books by, this famous archaeologist named Bruce Gordon," Courtney Whiteman asked.
Boss: "I don't think so, but the books about Captain Cook and Robert Ripley are all over there, on the far left!"
"Thanks!"
Although I didn't get the answer I was looking for, I came here so it doesn't hurt to take a look. After all, they are all of the same type. Maybe I can find something?
Courtney Whiteman and Su Quan walked towards the bookshelf on the far left. As soon as they reached the edge, they heard a familiar voice...
"Hello, Miss Whiteman, Mr. Su Quan."
Between the bookshelves, gentlemanly shadows greeted Courtney Whiteman and Su Quan.
Shadow looked at Courtney Whiteman: "I know who you are."
Courtney Whiteman was slightly startled, but quickly regained her composure and countered: "I know what you are planning, Shadow!"
"You want the Dark Diamond and want to join forces with Celestial Eclipse, go to..."
"We'll stop you!"
Shadow curled his lips and said: "Super demons join forces, is it true? Is this your imagination?"
"It happens all the time, and Wave is an example!"
"I won't care about you comparing me to those two losers, but by far, the bigger insult is that you think I want to partner with Tian Eclipse!"
"What can't you do? You are as bad as him. You killed Midnight Doctor!"
"Oh my God!" Shadow mocked, "You are so sure, you must have been there at the time, right?"
Courtney Whiteman: "Pat's here!"
"Definitely, dear Starstripe, ha, it's so interesting. The things he tells you are all carefully selected by him. You are so easy to deceive... little brat." There was a mocking smile on the corner of the shadow's mouth. Laughing, "Do you know there is a difference between bad and evil? I have been called evil more than once. I break the law here and do not follow the rules there."
"Everything in the world is unpredictable, but everyone deserves it!"
"But Sky Eclipse is different. He killed McNaird's daughter. She was only ten years old..."
Charles McNaird.
That is, the first-generation midnight doctor!
"etc!"
Courtney Whiteman's eyes widened: "¨`You said Eclipse killed McNaird's daughter?"
"Look, you were so sure just now!" Shadow teased at first, and then said in a deep voice, "When I find the dark diamond, I plan to throw it into the sea, into the deepest and darkest place, so that the sky will eclipse I can’t hurt anyone anymore.”
Courtney Whiteman frowned and had a somewhat absurd feeling, as if someone very important to the shadows had been hurt by the eclipse...
"Why did you do that?" Courtney Whiteman asked.
Shadow was silent for a moment, pretending to be relaxed and said: "Well, if you live like this for a long time, you will get tired of it... But seriously, leave all these things to me!"
The shadow slowly approached Courtney Whiteman, looking down at her with sharp and firm eyes...
Courtney Whiteman didn't flinch (in a good way). Their eyes met for a few seconds, and the shadow slowly retreated and gradually disappeared.
"Huh..." Courtney Whiteman breathed out and turned to look at Su Quan, who had not spoken. "You are too calm. It feels like you will not be afraid no matter what the situation is. "
Su Quan shrugged noncommittally: "Maybe my fear threshold is relatively high.
Courtney Whiteman just said it casually and did not delve into this issue. She now wants to know whether the things the shadow said are true or false.
Did Sky Eclipse really kill Pi, the daughter of the original Midnight Doctor?
Did he kill Midnight Doctor?
Also, is his purpose of finding the Dark Diamond to partner with Sky Eclipse, or to 'destroy' Sky Eclipse?
