Night Shadow tilted her head at Deathstroke's question, why ask this all of a sudden?
Could it be...
Rachel remembered the legend of the Goldfish Guy, a story that was common in the West as well.
Scenes like that seemed to flash in her mind.
On a sparsely populated street, a perverted-looking man squinted his eyes and licked the corner of his mouth, leaning towards a little girl: "Little girl, do you like goldfish? How about Uncle takes you to see some goldfish?"
If the little girl fell for it, she would be taken by the man to a dark place, and then this, and that...
The tricks of the deceivers keep evolving, and new issues constantly emerge, like 'Little girl, do you want to go to the zoo?' or 'Little girl, do you want to eat ice cream?' and the like, in all various ways.
The perverts in the West are more straightforward, they use excuses like showing little girls 'new toys', or some 'magic wand'.
Night Shadow shuddered: "No, I don't like rabbits at all."
Actually, what girl doesn't like furry things? Night Shadow liked small animals, but she didn't want to be taken to a dark corner by Deathstroke to see 'little animals'...
Although this Deathstroke is quite handsome, if he talked nicely it wouldn't be out of the question, but this seems too sleazy, she'd refuse.
Besides, now she's already certain of her feelings for Laurie, she has no interest in men!
Su Ming wiped his mask, Night Shadow in the comics likes all kinds of small animals, she even raised a bat.
Her background in the Suicide Squad makes it hard for her to trust humans, she thinks only small animals won't deceive her.
But if reality isn't like that, operating like Magic Prince Holloway, using the rabbits she raised as a casting cost, wouldn't be possible.
Laurie is now in a symbiote state, so Eve can feel what she thinks.
So Eve's thoughts went astray, leaving her speechless.
Deathstroke isn't someone who would harass female teammates during operations, no matter which Deathstroke, they all have money, and with money, women aren't lacking.
No need to mess around and cause unnecessary trouble, mercenaries avoid trouble.
Although Black Alice is not very old, her upbringing was extremely complex, and compared to Eve, a Shadow Realm fallen princess, she understands the power of money better.
Laurie is a pretty girl, several grotesque old men once offered to pay for her father's treatment if she'd be their little sweetheart.
Admittedly, when there was no way out, Laurie was indeed a bit tempted.
Her home was impoverished, all the money went to buy medicine for her father, there was no money for food, leaving her too weak to work, what else could she do but be a toy for the rich?
But she eventually awakened her superpower, so she didn't end up walking the path of a streetwalker, instead recruited by the Secret Six, becoming a killer.
At that time, Luthor, under the alias 'Robin', remotely controlled this villain team, to kill his rival during the 'Infinite Crisis', Little Luthor from Earth 3.
Which was the son of his otherworldly equivalent.
Luthor succeeded, he'd designed a series of traps for the opposition to fall into, after Little Luthor was defeated by Batman and Wonder Woman, wandering the streets at night, Luthor and Joker ambushed him.
After Joker had his fun, Luthor blew Little Luthor's head off with a shot.
The enemy was vanquished, Luthor achieved his goal, and the Secret Six disbanded.
Laurie then had no pay again, villain organizations don't provide severance, from then on she'd done things like rob banks or similar jobs.
Until the Shadow Contract Team sought her out, but they weren't a match for her, then they joined forces with the Birds of Prey, finally defeated her relying on Black Canary's persuasive words.
They realized Laurie was just a little girl, and had her reasons for doing bad things.
So the Birds took Laurie under their wing for education, using the Gordon Charity Fund to treat her father, sending her to school.
The current Laurie, though still very ruthless, has started doing good deeds, considered an anti-hero.
She poked her face out from Eve's shoulder, seeming like a two-headed monster: "Deathstroke, don't listen to her, Eve likes all small animals."
"Laurie!"
Eve turned her head in disbelief, stunned to have been sold out! What about promised love?
Su Ming didn't care why the little girls weren't telling the truth, now that the drainage measures were ready, time was still limited.
What if the enemy, realizing flooding Earth won't work, starts orbital bombardment with a fleet? So we must hurry.
He told Eve about the method of using the life and soul of a rabbit as the casting cost, emphasizing it needs to be accompanied by self-hypnosis.
Though it would cause immense pain to the user, it's at least harmless to the body.
"Now, activate the Magic Array, save the Earth."
He ordered.
Yet Night Shadow seemed a bit hesitant.
"Do we really have to activate it? This feels so strange."
Su Ming turned his head to her, the single red eye exerting significant pressure on her.
"I gathered you to exert your strength, not to question me. When I give an order, you have to execute it."
Night Shadow gritted her teeth, silently reciting the incantation to activate the drain.
Currently, Su Ming and the others are positioned next to the Origin Wall.
Not at the breach, but directly opposite, on the other side of the cosmos.
If secretly draining water, naturally a concealed place is needed, and what's more concealed than the cosmos's edge?
After all, it's the DC World's toxic water, discharging it into another universe, who knows if it would trigger a bad chain reaction, so it's best to handle it internally.
The Origin Wall here, its giant statues still remain lifeless, just like in the old days.
Countless powerful beings from unknown origins spread their arms, stacking layer upon layer to form the wall, expressionless, eyes gazing into the distance.
Gordon commanded Night Shadow to paint the Magic Array's exit on the giant statues, because even if it were discovered, breaking the giants to destroy the Magic Array would require X Metal, which is extremely difficult.
Just have to be careful while painting, avoid contact with the wall to prevent petrification.
Now ready, it's time to assess the results.
Night Shadow activated the Magic Array.
A stream of purple liquid shot out from the waist of the giant statue on the Origin Wall.
Since these are Magic Sea Water, the low temperatures of the cosmos did not freeze them, and they could still flow normally, heading towards the dark side of the Multiverse, the Dark Multiverse.
However, the Blood Domain is still somewhat intact, so Gordon speculates that they will likely form a liquid planet composed entirely of toxic water at some location.
Great, the objective has been perfectly achieved.
It looks as if the giant statues on the Origin Wall are urinating.
But isn't a urinating statue a piece of art?
This also serves as disguise and warning.
To many, the Origin Wall appears as a group of sculptures, so a urinating statue seems normal, and no one would associate it with Earth's drainage outlet.
And those who know the dangers of the Origin Wall would naturally avoid contacting their 'urine'. This is Gordon's contribution to the cosmos, a warning for future generations not to touch this sea water.
Moreover, it's a fairly decent landscape.
"How magnificent."
Witnessing a thousand-meter-tall giant statue sprouting a waterfall from its thighs, with purple water splashing like a river flowing into the unknown distance.
The giant statue gazed proudly into the distance, its expression solemn and dignified, as if observing the entire cosmos, overlooking the river of history.
Yet beneath it, the purple liquid merely adds water to the river of history...
Gordon nodded in satisfaction, this place will become a cosmic attraction in the future.
"Hahaha, spectacular!"
The Blue Demon applauded; it truly was a work of art, just like the B movies he starred in, vulgar yet amusing.
Laurie and Eve blushed with embarrassment, unable to see Deathstroke's long-term intentions, only feeling awkward and unable to face it directly.
"The plan succeeded, now let's return to Earth."
Gordon didn't have a phone, so he couldn't take any pictures this time, he could only take a few more glances for remembrance.
The Inverted Man only transported them there, it's unrealistic for him to send them back for free, so they had to fly back themselves.
Fortunately, the Magic Floating Cloak flies fast enough, and Laurie managed to replicate Gordon's physique before going to space, allowing the group to traverse the cosmic space.
Though this did consume a significant amount of time.
Upon returning to Earth's vicinity, they saw the Alien Sea Race's fleet orderly breaching the atmosphere in batches, seemingly preparing for a landing operation.
Gordon initially planned to sneak past the blockade and return to Earth in unnoticed locations like the poles, but then noticed a large ship suddenly had a breach, with a figure falling out from the bottom of the ship.
It was in human form, not the Alien Sea Race.
The distance was too far to catch them, so he hoped this martyr's body could break through the atmosphere with some bones remaining.
But then human figures began to appear on the breached ship.....
This was interesting, prompting Gordon to investigate.
Could there really be an Earth hero brave enough to attempt a 'decapitation' strategy against aliens? Who would be so foolish?
The curiosity of seeing an honest person prompted him and his companions - Night Shadow, Black Alice, and the Blue Demon - to bypass the fleet's blind spots and slip into the ship's breach.
The other side might possess detection technology, but Gordon's side had a mage.
As a master of the Shadow System, Night Shadow could effortlessly blend into the cosmos as an undetectable Nightfall.
They just needed to avoid the aliens' line of sight.
.............
Entering through the breach, Gordon found himself at the alien bridge, with the gravity and oxygen systems still functioning normally, alien corpses scattered around, yet no human corpses.
"Hmm, aliens require gravity and a small amount of oxygen, noted..."
The aliens seemed to have died a terrifying death, as if frightened to death. Could it be that someone purchased fear toxin again?
Following the footprints and battle marks on the floor, he soon saw Chang Wei fighting Lai Fu.
No, an old man with a white beard was trying to kill Donna.
This couldn't happen.
Donna had just acted with Deathstroke last night, as the series of major events caused by Luthor hadn't concluded, so she was still considered part of the team.
The members of the Deathstroke Squad belonged to Gordon, and could those alien spirits dare to meddle?
He wasted no words, the Magic Floating Cloak propelled him to maximum speed, he gripped the Nightfall Greatsword and delivered a backstab to Zhen Hai.
No nonsense, strike first talk later.
