[Zhongyingmei] Vampires don't want to inherit

Batman forcibly suppressed the pain deep in his heart, and now he has more important things to do, which is to solve the court of owls.He chose a direction without traces to move forward, while Renault stayed where he was.

The darkness in the maze was streaked by a snow-white light, the claws found the traces of Batman and Raynor, and launched an attack.

Renault subconsciously moved behind Batman to block him, giving Batman time and opportunity to fight with the claws.

Batman deliberately took his claws away from Raynor.Raynor's head was dazed, he took a few steps back and leaned against the wall, the chest wound had been tormenting Raynor, but he didn't want to show his vulnerability in front of Batman.

He could feel that the wound was healing itself, but the neurotoxin had already dissolved in Lei Nuo's body. He couldn't tell whether the pain he felt was real or fake, he just felt that his whole body was in severe pain.

Batman was on par with Talon, and he paid attention to Renault's situation from time to time.Obviously, it can be seen that Renault's state is not right. Batman had hallucinations because of drinking the water in the maze before, but Renault's appearance is more like an old wound that has not healed and was injured again.

The injuries on Batman's body were not minor. He hadn't taken in energy for a long time and lost blood, which made his body functions gradually unable to keep up with his reaction speed.After being attacked by sharp claws several times in succession, he was almost overwhelmed.

"The Court of Owls pronounces your death sentence!" Claw yelled, knocking Batman down.

"You guys, don't try to control me!" Batman half-kneeled on the ground, his body was shaking, he was almost at the limit.

"You will stay underground forever, and become an example of punishment for disobeying the court of owls. You are the trophy of the court. You will be made into specimens, just like your ancestors!" Talon kicked Batman to the ground , grabbing Batman's cape and dragging him away.

Renault leaned against the wall, all the scenes in front of his eyes became blurred blocks of color, and he could hardly see anything clearly.When Batman and Talon were fighting, he slipped to the ground little by little, and eventually he could no longer maintain his human form and transformed back into his bat form.The system pulled out a part of its power to hide Renault before falling into hibernation at the same time.

Talon looked around and dragged Batman towards the hall. His mission was to take down Batman. The members of the Court of Owls had been waiting for a long time.

Talon took Batman out of the maze, and there was no light in the maze.Renault lay on the ground, almost completely unconscious, only his body was still shaking slightly.He is now in a very dangerous state, and the only thing that can protect him is the hidden barrier provided by the system. This kind of barrier can only blind others visually, and no one knows how long it can last.

In a trance, Renault felt the sound of the crowd running, the sound of explosions, and finally the sound of people's footsteps.He opened his eyes with difficulty and took a look. A white-haired old man in a black robe stood in front of him, lifting him up from the cold and damp ground.

Renault wanted to struggle, he felt the danger from this man, but he was powerless to control his body, completely lost consciousness in this man's palm.

……

The scorching heat that envelops the whole body, the tearing pain that penetrates deep into the bone marrow, and the suffocation feeling after sealing the mouth and nose.

This is what Renault felt after returning to his consciousness. He stretched his body uncontrollably, the power of the vampire surged, breaking the water pressure, and the glass column shattered instantly.The people in the laboratory fled in all directions, and Lei Nuo walked down step by step on the pouring liquid and glass shards, grabbed an experimenter who hadn't had time to leave, and threw him onto the experiment table, the original bottles and jars fell to the ground. smash.

"Where is this? Who are you?" Lei Nuo's voice was dry, his eyes were blood red, he could feel that his energy had increased several levels, but there was another kind of power in his blood that was evenly matched with the power of the bloodline .

A throwing knife flew from behind Lei Nuo, aiming at Lei Nuo's neck.Renault tilted his body to avoid the attack, and grabbed the experimenter in front of him. The person who came was a beautiful woman, followed by a group of masked ninjas. Their attack was blocked by the woman.

Renault knew this woman.Talia Aogu—the daughter of Lei Xiao Aogu, the mother of Damian Wayne, and most importantly, she was Bruce Wayne's former lover.

Is there a connection between the Court of Owls and the League of Assassins?

No, not right.The League of Assassins has been trying to destroy the evil Gotham, and the Court of Owls is committed to maintaining their authority in Gotham. From a standpoint, they are hostile.

Renault shook his head. Given his current situation, he didn't have much time to think about it. He needed to understand why he was here and what the Assassin League wanted to do to him.

Thalia Ogu stopped the ninjas from attacking and walked in front of Lei Nuo step by step.Every time she took a step towards Lei Nuo, Lei Nuo squeezed the experimenter's hand tighter. The poor experimenter had already started to roll his eyes, but no one cared about his life or death.

"Mr. Straw, welcome to the League of Assassins. I am Talia Ogu."

Thalia is indeed a great beauty, otherwise she wouldn't be able to gain a relationship with Bruce Wayne.Her accent is a bit strange, not only does it not make people feel uncomfortable, but it gives her a layer of exotic beauty.

Renault looked at her silently. He didn't believe that this woman didn't know his identity, and that he broke out of the glass column used for the experiment just now. What they did to him still needs to be investigated.

"My father, the great Lei Xiao Aogu saved you. Use the holy Lazarus pool water, which can only be accessed by those who are allowed by the father." Thalia said in a confused tone The truth came out.

There was nothing false about her confusion.When Lei Xiao Augu brought a bat back, she was still very strange. After all, Lei Xiao is not a compassionate person. Since Bruce started to serve as a vigilante in Gotham in the image of Batman, he hated bats. .

This time Lei Xiao not only brought back a dying bat from Gotham, but also soaked the bat into the water of Lazarus Pool.The bat sank into the pool for a whole day, and Lei Xiao Aogu just watched it for a day, until the bat turned into a human, Bruce Wayne's lover——Reynolds Straw.

"Father, I don't understand." Thalia asked respectfully, she didn't understand the meaning of Lei Xiao's actions.

"My daughter, Batman is our enemy. This little bat is here, and the big bat will come too." Lei Xiao's beard curled up with a weird smile, "Vampires, mysterious dark creatures. I rely on It has only lived for 600 years by the water of Lazarus Pool, but this kind of dark species naturally has a nearly eternal life, so it is worth studying."

Lei Xiao Aogu asked his subordinates to carry Lei Nuo to the laboratory, and he approached the Lazarus pool step by step.Thalia knew that when Lei Xiao walked out of Lazarus Pool again, it was the vigorous ninja master who appeared again.

Thalia withdrew her thoughts from the memory, "Mr. Straw, father has no ill intentions towards you."

A ninja stood behind Talia holding the clothes, and Talia signaled her to give the clothes to Renault.At this time, Lei Nuo noticed that he was completely naked. He threw the experimenter aside and put on the black robe sent by the ninja.

Thalia watched Renault cover her body and raised her eyebrows slightly.In her opinion, Renault is really too thin. If it weren't for the simultaneous attention of Lei Xiao Aogu and Bruce Wayne, she would not have put an extra look on this weak chicken.

"Let's go, father wants to see you." Thalia turned around and walked forward, not caring that she showed her back to Renault, she was very confident in her ability.When Renault followed, she puffed out her chest on purpose.The tight-fitting samurai suit trimmed her figure very well. While showing off her feminine capital, she also revealed her slender waistline and mermaid lines.

It's a pity that Renault didn't pay attention to the woman's show off without a trace, and he paid more attention to the ninja following the two of them and the route they traveled.

Talia led him forward, and the guards along the way raised their swords in respect.From this we can see that the Assassin League is strictly disciplined.

Renault called the system in his heart, but the system did not respond, which made him a little flustered.He is used to the system assisting him, and now he has no one to discuss in a completely unfamiliar place, which makes him still uneasy.

Two ninjas dressed more complicatedly than ordinary ninjas saluted Talia and then stepped forward to open the door for them. Behind the door was an empty hall with a throne in the innermost part and behind it was a huge pool. The water was flowing, steaming and misting.

Lei Xiao Aogu did not sit on his throne, but kneeled devoutly facing the pool.He stood up only when he heard the voice, it was the man who took him away from Renault's last memory.

"Welcome to the League of Assassins, the mysterious Mr. Vampire." Lei Xiao Aogu's face was much younger than what Lei Nuo remembered, but the pressure he brought to Lei Nuo was the same, and he had a familiar scent from Lei Nuo.His blood was boiling when he was close to Lei Xiao Aogu, and the other power in his blood must be related to Lei Xiao Aogu.

Renault bowed slightly to show his respect, and also to thank Lei Xiao Aogu for saving his life.

"I was very curious, especially after Bruce Wayne announced your relationship with him. He is a student I taught, and I know his character. I thought he would marry my daughter Palace, inherit my great cause. Unfortunately, he has other ideas."

Lei Xiao Aogu pointed out a place for Lei Nuo to sit down with him. "Both I and Thalia were amazed when he was with you, until I found out about your secret."

Lei Nuo listened silently to Lei Xiao Aogu telling everything he knew.

"Dark longevity species, vampires that only exist in fairy tales. When human beings want to prolong their lives, you have almost eternal life but don't cherish it."

"So, eternal life? Is this the purpose of your research on me?" Lei Nuo intercepted Lei Xiao Aogu's words.

"Yes and no. I have lived for more than 600 years, relying on the water of the great Lazarus Pool, and I will continue to live. What I want to find is eternal life without sequelae." Lei Xiao Aogu looked straight Renault, his eyes were full of fanaticism.

The laboratory report confirmed his idea that there are substances in Raynor's blood that are different from human beings, which may be the genetics of vampires.If this substance can be applied to humans after improvement, it will greatly prolong the life span of humans.

Lei Xiao Aogu has been looking for a way to replace Lazarus's water, and he is not sure whether he can regain his sanity next time.

"There is no immortality without sequelae." Renault shook his head, "Since you already know that my race is a vampire, then you should understand that vampires live on blood. Moreover, humans and vampires are different races. If you If you want to live forever, you can do it with a first hug. But after crossing the race, your thinking will be different from that of human beings, and it will be too late to regret it.”

"First Embrace, yes, it is mentioned in religious stories that vampires use First Embrace to switch races, how amazing it is."

"Father, you need to think more, I don't think this is a good idea." Talia interrupted Lei Xiao Aogu's frenzy.

This is a very dangerous idea.As a human being, Lei Xiao Aogu's ability and hundreds of years of accumulated wealth and power allow him to almost stand at the top of human beings, but after he really transforms into a vampire, he has a well-known weakness. A small silver knife, or a glass of holy water can hurt him.

What's more, the hearts of non-my races must be different.Lei Xiao Aogu had always been afraid that he would not be able to control the demon in his body. Every time he visited Lazarus, he would take a huge risk, just because the appearance of the demon would inevitably bring disaster to the world.And transforming into a vampire is equivalent to becoming a demon, which means a change in thinking.

Lei Xiao Aogu gradually calmed down after hearing Thalia's words, "Yes, I need to think about it. Before that, Mr. Straw, you will always be a distinguished guest of the League of Assassins. Please rest here with peace of mind. If you have any needs, you can tell my subordinates, and they will arrange everything for you."

"Wait, if you saved me in the maze in the Court of Owls, maybe you know about Batman."

"Yes, of course I know. Batman, that cute and hateful guy with a combination of pessimism and idealism. No one can trap him, let alone the corrupt and lonely old forces. They can pass some They can hurt his body in a way that is not visible, but they can't damage Batman's strong will. They will eventually be destroyed in the fear brought by Batman." Lei Xiao Aogu said slowly, he still thinks that Bruce Wayne is one of his best students, "You should trust him more, after all, trust is the foundation of a relationship."

Thalia waited impatiently, Renault followed behind him silently, he had already got the answer he wanted, if he didn't leave, this dignified woman might beat him up in the next second head of.

"Actually, we have already broken up." Lei Nuo said this sentence when his left foot stepped out of the hall but his right foot hadn't followed, enough for Lei Xiao Aogu and Thalia to hear clearly.

Lei Xiao Augu looked at Lei Nuo's back thoughtfully. He knew that after Lei Nuo said this, Thalia's attitude towards Lei Nuo would definitely change.Talia's heart has always been on Bruce Wayne, and she has never taken it back. She just trapped her heart.

Thalia led Raynor through the corridors and up several flights of stairs, and finally arrived at a room.The room is not big, but everything inside is readily available.

Renault opened the bamboo curtain and could see that they were on top of a mountain.The ninjas of the League of Assassins were practicing fighting in the open space halfway up the mountain, and further down at the foot of the mountain, there seemed to be a village, with small figures walking back and forth on their faces.

"You live here first. If you are not used to anything, you can tell the guards to make them adjust. It is difficult to communicate with the outside world here, and the interior has its own communication method. If you have any special circumstances, you can contact me directly."

Renault nodded slightly to show that he understood, but Talia did not leave, and stood aside with folded arms, hesitating to speak for a while before hesitatingly asked: "You really broke up with Bruce Wayne? According to my knowledge Knowing that he really loves you, even making your relationship public, is rare."

Raynor looked at Thalia with a new look.He knew that Thalia was Bruce's lover, and even gave birth to a son for Bruce, the little devil Damian Wayne.It just never occurred to him that Thalia still had feelings for Bruce.

Thalia is a strong and independent woman who knows what she needs and never treats herself badly.As far as Renault knows, Thalia has some unclear relationship with the red hood, so this is very interesting. hostile.

Renault gathered his robe, he felt a bit chilly standing in front of the window, after all he only had this robe on his body, "He and I have broken up. Although it hasn't been officially announced yet, the relationship between us is over. Just like you and Bruce Wayne."

Thalia was not angry because of Renault's words, although Renault's words really irritated her.She always knew that there was no possibility of renewing her relationship with Bruce. She followed the great Lei Xiao Aogu, and once hoped that Bruce could inherit Lei Xiao's career, but Bruce had his own ideas and will.This kind of will is above emotion, Bruce will never be able to surrender to Lei Xiao Aogu, nor can he become the leader of the League of Assassins. Batman and the League of Assassins are destined to become enemies.

Thalia immediately understood what Renault meant, Renault was not a decent person.It can even be said that he is the one who Batman has been fighting against will drag Gotham into the abyss.

"I'm starting to like you, Mr. Straw." Thalia blinked at Renault, turned and left after speaking, and closed the door considerately for Renault.

Renault smiled slightly, Thalia is a smart woman.Even if Bruce was jealous of Renault's specialness at first, he would not do stupid things against Renault.When Lei Nuo was in the same condition as her, he could immediately change his attitude towards Lei Nuo.People with the same disease can always understand each other, especially after two people have been hurt by the same person.

……

Lei Nuo's stay in the League of Assassins has been quite comfortable for the past few months.Lei Xiao Aogu didn't limit his personal actions, as long as he wanted, he could even live in the village below the mountain for a few days.It's just that the external transportation here is really underdeveloped, and it is also very far away from the United States. It is really unrealistic to fly back with wings.

Raynor was also less inclined to return to Gotham after seeing the League of Assassins training.On the one hand, he can learn a lot here, including but not limited to fighting skills and the use of firearms; on the other hand, he hasn't figured out how to deal with Batman yet.

The fighting skills of the League of Assassins are systematic and practical, allowing him to improve faster than what Leno learned piecemeal from Red Hood and Batman.It's a pity that the system has never responded to Lei Nuo's call, and he has no way of knowing how far his current fighting level has grown.

"Yes. Kick him in the stomach, draw a knife, block, beautiful!" Thalia instructed Reynolds to fight with the ninja.

Compared with Lei Xiao Aogu who is flying all over the world, Thalia is more often stationed in the headquarters of the Assassin League, providing logistics for Lei Xiao Aogu.

Since Raynor began to learn fighting with the ninjas of the League of Assassins, she found a new game, which was to guide Raynor's fighting skills.In the eyes of professionals like Thalia, Renault's original fighting skills were full of flaws. Thalia believed that when Renault didn't use his racial abilities, she could knock him down within five moves.

Over the past few months, Renault's progress has been rapid, and he may not have felt it himself, but now if he fights Thalia, he can carry at least fifty moves.Thalia's attitude has also changed from watching the show to directing with her heart. She wants to see how far Reno can grow under her guidance.

"Thalia, it seems that you really like Renault." When Lei Xiao Aogu got off the helicopter in a hurry, he saw Thalia guiding Renault.It was a little unexpected, he never thought that Thalia would guide Renault sincerely.

"Reynolds is very capable of learning. To be honest, guiding him gives me a sense of accomplishment." Thalia turned to look at Lei Xiao Aogu, "Welcome back, father."

Lei Xiao Aogu smiled slightly, and turned his attention to the two fighting people.He watched Renault's movements, and there was light in his eyes.You know, these ninjas have been connected since childhood to have the ability they have today.But Renault could have more than a dozen back and forth with Thalia in just a few months, a speed he had never heard of.

His former students Deathstroke, Bruce Wayne, his half-student Jason Todd, his daughter Thalia, and his grandson Damian are all unparalleled gifted students, and Renault's learning ability is far beyond Any one of them, maybe he missed the best learning time, but his learning speed is enough to make up the time gap.Lei Xiao Aogu's eyes turned back and forth between Lei Nuo and Talia a few times, and he suddenly had a good idea.

The author has something to say:

*OOC warning.

*The plot behind the court of owls cannot be written, and the original work is basically maintained.Raynor and Batman are both miserable in the maze.

*Reynolds soaked in the water of Lazarus pool, which is considered a cheat.
