A certain sword soul's infinite journey

Chapter 762

After Lucifer left, the inexplicably tense nerves in Bruce's heart finally relaxed, and reason followed that clever brain to occupy the high ground again.

It wasn't until this moment that he suddenly realized what was wrong with Lucifer——

"Lucifer Morningstar...wait! Lucifer Morningstar?!"

Bruce finally came to his senses and looked at Lin Yi in astonishment.

Lin Yi glanced at him slantingly, did not answer, but did not refute either.

In Bruce's eyes, this amounts to a very obvious acquiescence...

As a result, the expression on Bruce's face suddenly became serious.

He originally thought that with his current strength, he would have been able to wander freely in Gotham long ago. The teacher and Alanna Alanna, they just kept not letting him out out of concern for him.

But now, in the face of the bar owner who is suspected of being Hell Satan, Bruce began to doubt his own judgment-maybe the teacher and the others are really trying to protect themselves?After all, even the legendary Lucifer suddenly appeared in Gotham, and he was just the owner of a bar in Crime Lane...

Who knows what ghosts and monsters are hiding in the streets and alleys of this city!
Thinking of this, Bruce couldn't help shivering, and quickly moved to Lin Yi obediently and whispered: "Teacher, take us back to Prince Manor first, and I will explain everything to you when we arrive at the manor."

"Stop showing off?" Lin Yi glanced at him.

"One moment and another moment!" Bruce smiled sarcastically, and immediately said depressedly, "Besides, you never told me before that Gotham City still has such a great god!"

Looking at the pair of master and apprentice who seemed to be playing charades, Selena's expression was full of doubts.

She had no normal education, her knowledge of the Bible was limited to God, angels and Satan, and she had no idea what the name Lucifer Morningstar meant.

Bruce didn't mean to explain to her, but after getting Lin Yi's permission, he walked in front of Selena with a relaxed expression, took her little hand and said with a smile: "Come back to Prince Manor with me, there It is the safest place in the whole city, where even if Maroni and the Black Police Organization join forces, it is absolutely impossible to threaten you!"

"Well, it's hard to refute that..."

"So are you coming?"

"Of course, why not!"

Selena showed a smile on her face, and a trace of curiosity and anticipation flashed in her eyes.

……

……

10 minutes later, Gotham City, Prince Manor.

Selena sat on the soft sofa with hot coffee in her hand, and looked curiously at the surrounding living room and the burning fireplace in front of her.

Although she had also been to Wayne Manor, she was quickly kicked out of there by the killer, and she had no time to appreciate what the manor of Gotham's top richest man was like.

Looking at it now, the living rooms of these top rich people are nothing special. At most, they are a little bigger than the living rooms of ordinary people, and the decoration is a little luxurious. How about the little home she quietly arranged in the Heraldry Apartment!

But, everyone has their own benefits...

Selena turned her head to look at the exquisite French windows, through the window she looked at the chatting and laughing maids, and couldn't help feeling a little envious in her heart.

It's so lively!

Such spirit is not seen everywhere.

Especially in Gotham, young and beautiful girls like them, but born in poverty, will either walk into bars and dance halls and become dancers who rely on their bodies for food, or they will marry someone who can protect them but has a bad temper. Alcoholism, drugs, and even domestic violence.

There are very few girls like Selena who take to the streets and become their own protectors.

Because walking on this road requires not only ability and determination, but also the mentality and courage to withstand ridicule and discrimination. After all, this city is full of all kinds of discrimination, and gender discrimination is only the least important one. kind.

In the past, the person Selena admired most was Fish Mooney.

Because she is Falcone's confidant, one of the six leaders in the entire Falcone underworld forces, second only to the leader, and the only one in the entire city who started from nothing, and relied on scheming and means instead of her body to get to the top of the underworld. The woman on top.

But now, after spending two days with Bruce, Selena's vision has broadened, and it is no longer limited to the underworld forces she is familiar with, but has spread to the entire Gotham.

Then, Selena found that those female characters who had despised her before seemed to be very commendable and admirable, such as Martha Wayne, Bruce's mother, and Alanna, the iceberg housekeeper of Prince Manor. ...

Thinking of this, Selena couldn't help turning her head, and secretly glanced at Alanna at the door of the study.

In Bruce's mouth, this woman who is obviously only a housekeeper has the right to speak in the Prince family next to Mr. Prince. As long as she speaks, even Falcone and the mayor of Gotham will say goodbye. You must shut your mouth and listen.

Of course, part of Alanna's power lies in the prestige of the Prince family.

But I heard from Bruce that even the prestige of the Prince family was actually created by Alanna. Seven years ago, she was the one who created the mopping up that made the underworld in Gotham City panic. The neighborhood has become a beautiful paradise without criminal soil.

Compared with her, Fish Mooney, whom Selena admired before, can only be regarded as a relatively large grasshopper in the dust, not worth mentioning at all...

Of course, the reason why Bruce tells these stories to Selena is not to belittle her previous three views, or to boast how admirable these so-called successful women are, but to raise Selena's interest in the school.

Because in his mouth, no matter whether it is Martha Wayne or Alanna, without exception, they are people who have received a good education and performed well in school.

Of course, Selena also began to have an interest and yearning for a place like the school.

This is also the real purpose of Bruce's painstaking efforts. After all, school is the place where a girl of Selena's age should stay, compared to a life of wandering on the streets who don't know when to die.

Facts have proved that Bruce's efforts are indeed effective.

After sneaking a few glances at Alanna, Selena showed a trace of hesitation on her face. After a long time, she took out the business card from her pocket, looked at the black words 'Lucifer' and 'Bar of Light' on it, and stared absent-mindedly. Preoccupied.

At the same time, in the study, Bruce stared wide-eyed, sitting on the chair in front of the desk, his blue eyes wandered back and forth, looking at Lin Yi who was dressed in white with black hair and black eyes, and looked at Lin Yi who was dressed in black for a while. Lin Mo, who had black hair and blue eyes, and a face that was seven points similar to Lin Yi's.

"You...you are Uncle Mo?"

Bruce couldn't hold back the words.

Lin Mo rolled his eyes, slapped little Bruce on the head, stared at the aggrieved little Bruce and said angrily: "Remove the small characters! Call me Uncle Mo!"

"Okay, Master Mo!"

Bruce pursed his lips.

The corner of Lin Yi's mouth curled up, and he straightened his face immediately, and said lightly, "Does Alfred know about you running away from home?"

Bruce's eyes widened, and he said incredulously, "What do you mean by running away from home? I was chased by a group of professional killers and escaped from the manor. How could it be that I ran away from home?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Lin Yi said bluntly, "You know best if you ran away from home, so now, answer my question!"

"All right……"

Bruce languished, curled his lips and said, "Teacher, you may not believe it. I informed Alfred just after I left the manor, but he never believed it. He thought it was after I was threatened by the killer. The phone call was actually not—”

"It's all your own fault."

Lin Yi interrupted unceremoniously.

Bruce was slightly taken aback, and then his face was full of disbelief.

"How can this be my fault?"

"Who told you to keep hiding your strength..."

"You!" Bruce said with his eyes widened, "Didn't you always tell me not to expose your strength so easily?"

"I did say that, but I also clearly remember that there should be a prefix of 'in front of outsiders' in front of 'can't easily expose power' - is Alfred an outsider to you? "

"of course not."

Bruce said without hesitation, but then he was slightly taken aback, and when he came back to his senses, he opened his eyes wide and looked at Lin Yi in surprise.

"You mean, can I tell Alfred everything?"

"Of course, he is your relative after all..."

"It's over if you said that earlier!" Bruce said dumbfoundedly, "I thought you specifically told me to keep Alfred from knowing!"

"You think too much, I never said that."

Lin Yi rolled his eyes, and then continued: "Okay, since you've realized your mistake, let's turn over this page first. Now, tell me what you think?"

"..."

Bruce opened his mouth, wanting to say that he didn't admit his mistake, but seeing the look on Lin Yi's face, Bruce still tactfully did not refute, and instead explained along the topic.

"You mean that I didn't take the shot to defeat the gangster, but instead ran away with Selena?"

"One of the reasons why I did this must be very clear to you, and that is to help Selena find out the real behind-the-scenes, which is what I am doing now. In this regard, we have made great progress. Now already--"

"We'll talk about this topic later, let's talk about your other reason first."

Looking at Lin Yi's calm expression, Bruce blinked his eyes twice, sighed and said, "Well, you once said that traveling thousands of miles is worse than reading thousands of books, and traveling Gotham with you can only be regarded as Reading, going deep into Gotham with Selena is the real journey!"

"She grew up in the streets and alleys of this city, and she is an aborigine who really understands this city. Compared with Selena, I can only be regarded as a high-ranking, indifferent bystander..."

Bruce looked at Lin Yi calmly and seriously: "Teacher, you know, I don't want to be a bystander, I want to participate, to truly experience the darkness and evil at the bottom of Gotham, and then start from the root and think How to change Gotham's current dark status quo!"
