A retired magician raises a bucket daily

Reed decided to go to the location on Tim's locator to check, no matter whether the clown is there or not, so much interference magic will have a great impact on the present world.

Merlin said that he still has other things to solve. Although he can't go with Reed, he will still pay attention to what happened to Reed, and he will show up when he is in danger.

"Since the morning, your boyfriend has been staring at me, so I won't go." Merlin said, "I feel like I will be hit by him, it's scary."

Reed glanced at Jason, who was talking to Heroic Batman, his green eyes drooped slightly, looking at the ground, Heroic's pale hand patted him lightly on the shoulder, Jason nodded to him, and went Reed came over here.

His expression became a little... irritable as before, and there were slender marks between his brows.To be honest, he rarely showed such an expression in front of Reed, but now, the unknown sadness and anger deterred him, causing his shoulders to sink slightly, as if he was carrying some nothingness that others could not see. burden.

The vampire's sixth sense was particularly sharp at this moment, his heart was beating violently, Reed stretched out his hand worriedly, as if the person in front of him would disappear in the blink of an eye, their fingers hooked together, and Jason's hand was as cold as before Now, Reed realized that he was once again caught in the cycle of resentment that afternoon.

Merlin sensed the weak fluctuation of magic power in the air, and looked back, just in time to meet the cold eyes of the heroic spirit looking at this side.

Half Nightmare narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Come with me?" Reed asked Jason.

"What?" Jason seemed to have just recovered, "Oh, I—"

Before he finished speaking, Reed reached out and pressed his fingers between his brows, trying to smooth the wrinkled skin, "Don't frown."

"Don't be unhappy," said the vampire seriously.

Jason froze for a few seconds, and finally sighed, his frown relaxed, "Okay, I'll go with you."

"It just so happens that I have learned a little bit of magic." He touched his lower back subconsciously, and then remembered that the blade of the great caste was not brought out, and he left it at home, "...by the way, go back , I'll get something - are you hungry? I see you haven't had much dinner."

"Uh," Reed glanced at the door behind Jason, no one was passing by, he rubbed his stomach and whispered, "It's a bit, I didn't expect..." I didn't expect that Alfred's food was really good. It's very hard to swallow - it's more than one Michelin star between Mr. Butler's desserts, especially the waffles.

"I understand." Of course Jason knew what the last part of Reed's sentence was. He had eaten this for several years, and it was okay at first. Why didn't the kids in Crime Lane eat it?It was enough to fill his stomach, but later he also went out with Bruce to attend some banquets and ate many world-class delicacies, and he finally understood why the Wayne Group prefers to invest in various restaurants, and he can find his own assets wherever he goes .

Of course, it is impossible to say such words to Alfred. Which Bat Cub does not know that the final say in this family is not in the hands of Batman, but in the hands of Butler?

Before the sky completely darkened, Reed and Jason left Wayne Manor first. Dick and Tim were called to a meeting by Batman, and only Damian, who had some homework left, was ordered to stay in the room Unable to come down, the irritable Robin's angry voice echoed in the mansion.

Merlin stretched out on the sofa in the quiet hall, and with keen ears he heard the soft footsteps of the people behind on the wool carpet.

"Hey, that Batman." The Half-Nightmare stopped him. Although he still kept stretching his waist, his head turned slightly. The dreamy purple eyes were coldly reflected by the light in the corner of the room. The Nightmare had no emotion in the first place. , when he stopped imitating human beings, he would show a kind of coldness close to spirits: "Who the hell are you?"

"Bruce Wayne." Heroic Spirit paused and said quietly, but curled his fingertips tightly, as if he was restraining something.

"What I'm asking is, which Bruce Wayne are you?" Merlin said.

"..." He loosened and closed his hand, and said after noticing that Merlin turned his head back, "The one who lost everything."

"Ha, too many universes destroyed, too many people lost everything."

"I am one of them." Heroic Spirit said this, but the corners of his mouth raised uncontrollably, and then his figure gradually disappeared into the air, and the golden particles scattered.

Merlin didn't look back, and of course he didn't see that crazy and shadowy eyes staring at his back until the last moment, like a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity, it has already figured out where to swallow it first after killing him have eaten.

However, the greatest magician, who was hailed as the greatest magician, felt the wave of magical power fading away in the air, and said a few words from his lips: "I believe you ghost."

His [Clairvoyance] couldn't see through the reality of that heroic spirit, maybe it was the special ability of these unconventional heroic spirits. In short, Merlin was extra vigilant about this heroic spirit from the beginning, of course not only because Merlin caught two waves of the same magic power, but that Every time fluctuations appear, his current master's little boyfriend will show a... strange emotion.

After all, nightmares are creatures that rely on devouring dreams to fill their stomachs. He is very familiar with various emotions. Jason's various performances and the manic depression he suppressed in his chest made Merlin feel that his spirit was on the verge of collapse, as if With a slight push, he will fall through the pass.

There is another more serious thing, that is, in Merlin's initial foresight, the Batman with an abnormal brain summoned by Reed - that is, the one squeezed out by him, finally broke the wall of origin , attracted Barbatos, and led to the disappearance of this universe.

Although Nightmare doesn't care much about the survival of human beings, he has always positioned himself as a "bystander". He is very interested in his fate, but he just thinks it shouldn't be such a fate without beauty, without even struggle, that kind of future is too boring.Nightmare thought, I don't want to see that kind of thing.

"What should I do?" Merlin folded his hands behind his head, fell on the sofa, swayed his legs crossed, and said to himself, "Why don't you have a dream tonight."

Reed and Jason walked in a lush forest.Most of the places in Gotham City are near the sea, most of them are docks, but there are also some remote locations, because gangsters were prevalent in the past, before they were suppressed by Batman, they often threw their bodies in the sea, and over time these places became No one came.The same goes for this deserted park. They didn't meet anyone along the way. Layers of branches covered the low-hanging dark night sky. The roots of the huge pineapple tree undulated on the ground where the fallen leaves were piled up. The waves could be heard in the distance. The sound on the wall stone, the location shown on the tracker is just behind this park, where there is an old factory that has been abandoned for many years.

The vampire's night vision ability is strong enough, and Jason also wears night vision goggles, so he didn't use a flashlight. The two of them don't know what's ahead, so they can only be careful not to startle the snake.The sound of broken leaves and dead branches under the feet is particularly loud. Occasionally, a gust of cold wind blows through the rustling leaves, and the hoarse chirping of night owls will pass overhead.

"...my...God...you come...for...to do...please... I am flesh and blood..." The strange low male voice came from the depths.

It was a whisper similar to reciting, with a creepy hoarseness and madness in the middle of the night.

Jason took Reed's hand, pulled him gently against the huge tree trunk behind him, his steady breath brushed past Reed's ear, Jason touched his lips with a finger, and breathed Whisper in his ear, "This way."

Reed's back was pressed against Jason's chest, as if he was completely hugged in his arms.He could feel the beating of the hearts of the people behind him, but the strange thing was that Jason's heartbeat was no longer as steady as before, but rather chaotic and beating very fast, as if he was in some kind of hyperactive or extreme state.

Turning their heads slightly from their position, they could see the situation ahead.There is still a distance from the old factory, and there is still a dark forest ahead, but behind the slender and drooping usnea branches, the silhouette of a man can be seen.

He knelt on the ground, raised his head, and looked up piously, as if he was calling for something from above. Those English words were mixed with obscure and vague sentences, making him look like a mentally ill patient .

At first neither of them knew what this man was doing, until a strong wind blew up the usnea branches, and they saw the figure of a little girl above.It was a little girl with blond hair. She was sitting on a branch. The branch was not very thick and looked like it would break at any moment, but the little girl still sat firmly on it. The wheel fell behind her, and the silver light made her look very holy. The little girl was wearing a small black skirt, and her calf wearing exquisite black leather shoes dangled in the air. She looked down at the book in her hand, as if she didn't care at all. The fanatical man under the tree.

"That's..." Jason's pupils shrank suddenly, he took a step uncontrollably, Reed didn't even hold him, Jason started walking straight in that direction, The man who hadn't stopped whispering just now finally stopped his voice. He stood up from the ground, his knees were a little numb after kneeling on the dirt for a long time, his figure shook and looked very stiff.

Reed bit his lower lip. He always felt that Jason was not in the right state today. His intuition told him that letting Jason stay in Wayne Manor would make him feel more uncomfortable, so he pulled Jason out. In the original plan, now is not the time to start a war with the clown, now it is considered a distraction.

But he didn't expect to meet [this] here.

It was worse than being in Wayne Manor.

He stamped his feet anxiously on the spot, then ran out from his hiding place, and grabbed Jason to prevent him from going any further.

"Don't go there." He drew a magic circle on Jason's back in a panic. The bright blue light disappeared from the skin of Jason's back spine. Jason blinked, and there was a strange voice in his head. Suddenly became lighter and farther away.

"I..." Jason was pulled behind Reed, and the vampire stood in front of him in a semi-protective posture, staring at the strange man in front of him.

According to his past experience, believers of this kind of [thing] are often crazy and elusive—he once suspected that the clown was also one of them, but after coming to Gotham, he realized that the clown can only and can only be a bat Fanatics of Xia Xia - some of them have a very clear understanding of their own identities, present themselves as more normal than normal people, hide their alien identities, be indifferent but polite, alienated and arrogant.

But the person in front of him has obviously been affected.The fate of ordinary human beings seeing indescribable things is madness and destruction, and this state is irreversible.

Reed and the man looked at each other for a while, and finally bit his own fingertips. The translucent light spots covered the bleeding blood and floated in the air. He drew the outline of the complicated magic circle bit by bit. The blood on the index finger was not enough. Bite the other fingers.

This is different from the magic circle he drew on Jason to temporarily eliminate negative emotions. This is a very complicated ancient magic that he learned after meeting the evil god believers for the first time many years ago.

On the ancient earth, the old rulers, that is, the outer gods, started a war with the old gods on the earth, and the ending ended with the old gods expelling the outer gods.This magic is the expulsion magic derived from that. Although the effect is definitely weakened by tens of thousands of times, it can still come in handy for ordinary humans.

By the time Reed finished the last stroke, he was so tired that he was about to put one hand on his knee. The vampire took a quick breath and pushed the magic circle. His blood contained the power of the old gods, although it was very Thin, but the blood of Cain is also the blood of the Son of God.Jason caught the vampire's weak body.

The man was hit head-on by the magic circle, his body began to tremble and cramp, and his neck was thrown back. In the quiet environment, he could even hear the rattling of bones. The veins on his neck and head bulged, and his throat There was a sharp whine, and the pulling of the vocal cords gradually turned into a strange and thin sound like white noise.

A few seconds later, he suddenly turned around and ran into the forest, gradually being swallowed by the darkness.

"What will happen to him?" Jason asked in a low voice.

"Find what you're after..." Reed shook his head. He didn't know that the believers of the evil gods themselves were incomprehensible existences, and he only had a half-knowledge of the existence of magic, but there was no better one. There is a way.

"That... thank you..." The little girl's timid voice suddenly came out.

Before Reed and Jason could react, they suddenly found that the little girl in the black dress had come down from the tree and stood in front of them.

It was a little girl who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old, wearing a black round hat, some hair clips with bows on her blond hair, blinking blue eyes, she looked extremely innocent and cute.

"I didn't know what to do just now, he has been pestering me..." The little girl twisted her fingers, and then pulled the corner of her skirt in a ladylike salute, "Hi, hello, I'm Abigail Er - Abigail Williams, if you don't mind you can call me...Abby."

"Can you be my friend?" Abigail showed a shy smile, her blue eyes fell on Jason, and the little girl's voice was soft and brisk: "I feel that your spirit has also reached a critical point It's ready."
