I haven't been a big brother for many years

"B?" Ryan was sluggishly held in Bat's arms, unable to figure out why he did this.

How would he respond when Selina asked?Pretending to have superpowers?

Those beautiful crimson eyes were full of annoyance at the moment.

"You should..." Stay away from her.The sentence stuck in Bruce's throat and he couldn't get it out - he had no position.

Even as a temporary guardian, he should support the child to have more friends.And of course he can't express his heart to the current Ryan, he is still a child.The last "colourful" test was already the limit.

Bat's embrace is very warm, and the taste of bitterness is really intoxicating. He is willing to be hugged tightly by him forever, but only if he is not hugged in front of Selina.

That would be a little spooky...

Sure enough, Selina landed firmly on the ground, her cat-like eyes widened.She asked in surprise, "What is that?"

Ryan broke free from Bruce's arms unconsciously, touched his nose shyly, and planned to get away: "Illusion?"

That didn't seem like a good answer, because Selina rolled her eyes skyward.How could she be fooled by him, but now, it's not the right time for him to explain it again.

Selina grabbed Ryan's hand and couldn't help but want to pull him away: "Listen, you'd better figure out how to explain it to me first. But now, we have more important things!"

"Bruce Wayne has been kidnapped!"

Ryan's pupils shrank suddenly: "What did you say?! What's going on?"

Batman also frowned, something was wrong, he never remembered being kidnapped once during this time.

What went wrong?

Why can't his memory match reality?

Selina pulled him towards the increasingly hidden alley to the east: "Both Alfred and Gordon received a threatening call from the kidnapper, saying that he had kidnapped Bruce Wayne."

"What does he want?" Ryan's breath became short of breath, why?Why did this happen to Bruce again?

Selina shook her head: "He said he didn't want anything, he just wanted to sacrifice Bruce Wayne to the city's god, so that Gotham would become a normal city."

"Crazy." The anxiety in his heart overwhelmed the suspicion rising in his mind, and Ryan speeded up: "Where is it?"

"Go this way, the place where the phone signal was monitored is very close." Selina pulled her into an alley: "I didn't expect to find you here, Ryan."

……

The location of the phone signal showed that it was indeed an inconspicuous corner of Gotham City, and they could be sure that they were not in the wrong place.

The dilapidated house, which was almost scrapped, was filled with strange religious symbols and black masked gods hung everywhere.There is also a large clump of flowers in the corner, which looks a little wilted, but it must have been placed here not long ago.

Gordon stood at the corner of the stairs and gestured to the policeman behind him. The prisoner must be inside.

It's just that it was not his good partner he thought was his good partner who rushed into the room first, but the two children.

Gordon was taken aback: "Wait, who let them in?" He obviously blocked the area.

Brock shrugged helplessly behind him: "They came in through the window." He couldn't stop it even if he wanted to.

"Damn it." Gordon cursed in a low voice, and quickly chased after him.

The layout of the room was even more weird. There were large bat-like totems on the wall, the windows were firmly nailed to the wooden boards, and the burning candle was almost burned to the bottom, and the white wax dripped all over the floor.The dim candlelight illuminated clusters of wilted white roses. These clusters of flowers that should have appeared at the funeral surrounded a cross nailed to the ground, and Bruce Wayne, who was tied to it, closed his eyes. Eyes closed, as if fainted.

Opening the door a little to check the situation, Selina, who was about to rush in, was grabbed by Ryan. He frowned tightly and made a booing gesture to her.

A group of people wearing black robes who looked like monks emerged from nowhere. There were a large number of them, and each of them held a machete in their hands.

They formed a circle in silence, and the leading man stood in front of Bruce.He didn't wear a hood, but there was a small mask covering his face, so that people couldn't see his appearance clearly.

But the mask couldn't hide the weird smile on his face.

"The God of Gotham is above, and the ancestors are above." A uniform voice sounded, and all the monks in black drew out their knives.

"Today, we will use the blood of Gotham's sinners, the orphans of the Wayne family, to comfort the souls of all the dead compatriots."

"Gotham will become a well-ordered and orderly city again, and everyone will cheer for the city's excellent legal system. There will no longer be corruption, crime, and filth here."

"The gods of Gotham will wash down the entire city with the blood of the culprit, Wayne."

The leader raised the knife in his hand and patted Bruce Wayne who was still asleep with the other hand. He looked at the cobalt blue eyes that were still full of doubts, without the slightest pity in his eyes.

The sharp machete is about to cut.

Ryan's pupils shrank suddenly, and Gordon shouted anxiously: "Wait!" He pulled back Selina who had rushed out, and quickly rushed towards the sharp weapon.

His speed was too fast, like a snow leopard jumping in the snowy field, none of Gordon, Selina, and Batman's outstretched hands could hold his clothes.

Batman took out a bat gun with a grappling hook from his belt, pointed at his canthus, and was extremely angry: "He's not!"

The grapple was fired quickly, wrapping around Ryan's waist twice.

But it's too late.

He blocked the knife for Bruce, and the machete just hit his right side of the waist.The curved machete fit the width of his waist, and it was as sharp as it looked—the blade cut a wound of about five or six centimeters directly from his left waist.

Blood spattered from the wound sprayed all over Bruce.

"NO!" Batman growled angrily.The grapple didn't pull Lane back in time, only preventing Monk's second swing.

The leading monk had an inexplicably strange expression on his face. He stopped and stood quietly beside the cross.

He was right to find it strange, after all, almost everyone had that expression on their faces, the white-haired child whose hat had fallen off flew back out of thin air, and was still suspended in the air.

Batman held Ryan in his arms, and his hands that had been soaked in sticky blood trembled so much that he could hardly hold him: "NO! NONONONO."

"Lian!" This was the second time, and he didn't protect him well.

Ryan's eyes had lost focus, the wound was too big and terrible, he felt like his left kidney and intestines had been cut open.He knew that he was going to die, as if life was flowing out of his body with blood.

"bat..." His voice was so weak that it was almost nothing.

"Don't look at me." This look was really scary, he felt as if his body could be bent to a strange angle.

It hurt so much, it felt like my whole body was about to be broken in half.

Batman hugged him, ignoring the imminent battle behind him, he directly broke the wooden board nailed to the window with one hand, and jumped down from upstairs.

Dionysus factor!

As long as you find Dionysus Yinlian, you will be saved!

The silence in the hall was almost dead, not only because of those supernatural phenomena, but also because no one present expected such a thing to happen.

"Lian!" Selina's tears dripped all over her face at some point, and she woke up as if awakened from a nightmare, and yelled Ryan's name heartbreakingly.

She rushed to the broken window and looked down. There was a large amount of blood on the ground, but Ryan disappeared.

The black-robed monk looked at the leader, who shook his head and threw a smoke bomb. They untied Bruce Wayne from the cross and quickly evacuated the room.

The policemen seemed to be stunned by what happened just now, speechless, they were surprised by the surprise attack, and they left the room one after another.

But Selina jumped out of the window and chased after someone following the bloodstains.

……

"Hold on!" Batman's grappling hook kept stretching between the buildings, and he moved quickly over Gotham.

"I don't want to die." Ryan's voice sounded weaker than before, but he had no strength to hold on anymore, he was too sleepy.

Even though he really didn't want to die, he wanted bat, he wanted to be able to walk that dark path and tell him he liked him and he wanted to be with bat.

But now he felt that he might never be able to do this again.

Why rush out?The corner of his lips evoked a wry smile, and now he couldn't feel his lower body anymore.

His consciousness became more and more blurred, and it felt as if something was about to break out of his body, probably the soul.he thinks.

Was Bruce Wayne really that important to him?

It seems not.He is his friend.

After all, he likes bat, doesn't he?

"bat...I like..." you...

Batman subconsciously hugged Ryan who had turned into a blood man in his arms: "Stop talking, it's okay, you will be fine."

A crystal teardrop fell on Ryan's forehead, and he realized that he didn't know when he was crying.

Finally, the person in his arms obediently listened to him for one time, but a great fear hit his heart. He landed on the ground and touched the artery on Ryan's neck tremblingly with his fingertips.

"... Ryan?"

There was no longer a slight beating.

"You're so stupid..." Bruce hugged him tightly, knelt down on the ground, tears dripping down his cheeks on the ground.He finally couldn't restrain his emotions and broke down crying.

"The man tied to the cross is not Bruce Wayne at all..."

The author has something to say:

You guys should be mentally prepared... huh?

After all, it has been mentioned that Leybold died once before...

emmm...don't hit me
