A retired magician raises a bucket daily

Their goal this time is to destroy the Lesser Holy Grail and bring an end to this absurd Holy Grail War that is out of specification.

As long as the magic supply given by the Holy Grail to the heroic spirits is disconnected, the heroic spirits will return to where they should go, and the undead who are imprisoned in it can also be liberated.

But according to what Abigail said, there will be a total of three heroic spirits on the clown's side. Leaving aside who their master is, the current situation is already very difficult as far as the summoned heroic spirits are concerned: one of them It is the incarnation of a huge and ugly evil god, and it is possible to return to the world at any time because of the appearance of a suitable body; the other, in their guess, should be an existence very familiar with the computer field, and it is likely to be a super AI from the future.As for the last one left, they have no clue.

"Is 'hate' referring to me? Oh my, BB has been hurt!" The voice of a young girl suddenly came out, maybe it can't be said suddenly, all of them saw the golden color with their own eyes. The light spots converged into the body of the heroic spirit, and a girl with light purple long hair who looked like a high school girl appeared in front of them.

The Hydra captain put on his spiritual attire almost at the same time, staring at her vigilantly.And Merlin's hand also clenched the wand tightly, as if he could draw out the sword in the next second.His real body is still trapped in Avalon, in the tower at the end of the world, so as a half-servant summoned by an incomplete Holy Grail, many of his abilities are restricted For example, [Clairvoyance], although in the past he always said that it was just a pair of eyes that can see a little farther than ordinary people, but now that he can't see the development of things clearly, he can only see through the real name when the other party appears I'm still a little unaccustomed to the situation.

The Flower Magician sighed in his heart, feeling why he had fallen to this point. After leaving the blessing of Britain, the luck value really dropped at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Aiha!" The purple-haired girl is not tall, but her figure is surprisingly plump. Wearing a beige knitted jacket and short skirt, large areas of white skin are exposed to the air. It looks terribly cold in this season. However, her voice was very energetic, "I see that you have been here for a long time, don't you plan to go in and have a look?"

As she said this, she took a few steps towards them, and seeing that everyone was in a defensive posture towards her, she narrowed her eyes and laughed again, facing the black muzzle of the gun: "Did BB What do you want to do, take it easy~"

The purple-haired girl stood in front of Abigail. There was a head difference in height between the two of them. The girl bent down slightly, and her long hair tied like ears of wheat hung down on one side. She looked at Abigail , touched his chin and nodded, as if he was criticizing the pet cat in the cage, he said bluntly: "Wow! Although Abby is a senior, he is really small, just like a doll!"

Abigail frowned and leaned back in resistance: "Stay away from me."

Intuitively, she didn't like the person in front of her. The smell was the same as that of the huge giant in the factory. It came from the depths of the distant universe, and belonged to the family of [Nyarlathotep], or the incarnation.

"Oh, I'm hated by seniors." BB stood up obediently and looked down at Abigail. Although he said a very respectful address on his mouth, the expression on his face still seemed to be joking, "It's a pity. I want to recruit seniors to join me~"

Abigail's eyes fluctuated, and then the little girl took a few steps back, hid behind Reed, poked her head out and said, "Abi doesn't like you."

At this time, BB's eyes finally fell on the group of people behind. She was like a female high school student who saw something funny and laughed, "Then seniors will definitely lose this time! They are too weak La."

"BB took over all their online information a day ago," the girl said to them proudly with her hands on her hips, "All your plans so far are under the supervision of the super cute BB!"

"If you want to talk about why, because BB is a first-class intelligent AI~!"

The people present, especially Bruce and Tony, although they were all wearing armor, they could obviously feel that the air pressure dropped suddenly. This was indeed guessed by them, and it was because they guessed right that they felt even more trouble.

"That's right, that's the expression!" BB stretched out his hand and gestured, "BB dear, you come from a future so, so, so much farther than you! So it's normal to feel frustrated, after all, what you are facing It's the invincible BB pro!"

"So, senior, really don't think about it anymore, are you on the same front as me?" The girl looked at Abigail with sly eyes.

Abigail grabbed the waist of Reed's clothes and shook her head. Although she was linked to the evil god, the power from the depths of the universe affected her and changed the life of a girl named Abigail Williams. She was regarded as possessed by a demon, called a witch, captured and hanged, but she was still the sensitive, caring, innocent little girl in essence.

She would be drawn to Jason Todd's beautiful soul, and help them because of Reed's deja vu tenderness.It will also reject fear when feeling the madness and terror from the depths of BB's spirit.

BB crossed his hips, lowered his head and sighed, "Okay, then BB will judge you all as enemies...Well, let me see, who should I deal with first?"

The girl's eyes are like an inorganic purple gem, filled with deep malice towards human beings, "Ah, it's you."

She pointed her index finger at Tony, and the eyelids of the man in steel armor twitched.

The second her voice fell, a red light flashed in front of Tony's eyes. This was his intelligent system warning him that the mech's program had been violated.

"Jarvis!" Tony yelled, and the screen in front of him was full of misappropriated instructions, but his smart AI housekeeper didn't respond to him.

"Huh?" BB looked at him, and suddenly made a suspicious voice, "You still have this on you?"

An alarm went off in Tony's head, he felt a pain in his chest—this terrible woman could even affect his reactor—the blackness of his eyes made his body unable to stand anymore, he shook, and was about to He was about to fall to his knees, but the quick-sighted Heroic Spirit grabbed him and held him up.

Through the helmet, he saw Heroic Spirit's more mature face than his teammates who were fighting side by side not long ago, with a worried expression on it, Tony patted his arm lightly, "... .give it to you."

Heroic Spirit appeared in front of BB in the blink of an eye. It was a set of spiritual outfits that were different from the previous ones. It was made of gold and green metals. There was a glowing five-pointed star on the chest. Even the symbolic vibrating gold The shields turned into green and gold, with sharp edges and corners.

real or fake?Tony looked at the suit of armor, wouldn't that be me making him?Although the color scheme is ugly, it looks too similar to my own armor, right?

"Ah!" The shield slammed forward, and BB stepped back swiftly, "So you came first? All right, all right, BB hates men who are not gentlemen."

Batman knelt down to help him check the reactor on his chest, Tony pushed him, "Leave me alone, you go first."

He tapped the button on the back of his hand vigorously with one hand, because too many wrong commands caused the autonomous system of the armor to be extremely slow, Tony knocked hard a few times before breaking free from it, "She just intends to delay time, Here we can solve it, let's go!"

"Red Robin?" Bruce's voice was low, and he asked Tim who stayed in the Batcave. Fortunately, BB hadn't hacked the communication line between them.

"I'm trying!" Tim was looking for system loopholes with the oracle when BB was talking. Although it is an intelligent AI that is more advanced than their technology, Tim is also a person who has contacted and studied many alien technologies. , as long as you find a way, you will be able to find the flaw: "Leave it to us!"

Captain Hydra and BB's range is getting bigger and bigger. The vibrating gold shield blocks the unknown black light emitted by the opponent. The old trees with thick branches around them are broken, and the ground is messy. Flying in the air, the birds screamed and flew up.

Leaning against a tree, Tony struggled to release the connection between the reactor and the armor with his hands. He paralyzed and took a few breaths. It was not until the reactor started to operate normally again that his pale face finally regained some energy, " How are you doing, kid?"

"Break through the firewall." Tim said succinctly, and the keyboard under his fingers crackled.

"Jarvis." Tony called subconsciously, and the voice of the intelligent AI housekeeper appeared after a few noisy noises.

"Yes, Sir." is a familiar voice, "I am here."

Tony gritted his teeth and clenched his fist: I'm such a genius!

Before he set off, he entered the string of cheat codes that Reed dug out into Jarvis's system. Originally, he just wanted Jarvis to analyze it, but he didn't expect that it could break through BB's encroachment.

"Jarvis, prepare to fight back." When it comes to computers, no one can beat him Tony Stark.

"Yes, Sir."

Reed and the others bypassed the place that was not affected, and walked directly to the factory. Merlin reminded him that the Holy Grail was in it, and it might be revealed at any time.

It was only when they got to the gate of the factory that they saw that the door was open, as if to welcome him.

The clown was sitting bored in the empty factory, with his legs crossed and his chin propped on his hands. When he saw someone appearing, the clown jumped up from the big stool with a happy face, "Little bat! I knew you would find me soon." of!"

Behind him, he tied several corpses with ropes and hung them from high steel bars, dangling.

The clown noticed their gaze and let out a giggle: "You know, I don't like outsiders."

Those corpses were covered with black robes, and their skin was blue. It could be seen that they had been dead for a while, and a few black lines could still be seen vaguely on their faces—these were the magicians.

And in the air in front of them, there was a large golden cup quietly floating, which seemed to be the size of a five or six-year-old child. It was slowly turning, and the cup seemed to be full of things, and it would fall if it was tilted a little. come out.

"Just a few of you?" The clown watched as Reid took Abigail's hand and Batman walked in step by step, "I thought the birds would come with you, the blue birds, the red ones Birds, green birds . . . chirping and chirping."

Jason Dick and Damian did not come in with Reed, but changed positions, preparing to go in directly through the window on the second floor and rescue the children.

Among the criminals in Gotham, if you ask them when they felt the most fearful emotion in their life, they will definitely tell you: in the alley, Batman came to you, and his body The armor collides layer by layer, the sound of metal is crisp, and the footsteps are heavy and firm again and again. It is a kind of fear that seems to have stepped on the heart.

But for the Joker, that voice just made him shudder and uncontrollably excited, and every time he wondered what Batman's expression would be when he saw all this.

Because he wants to see Batman fall too much.

"But this is just right," the clown clenched his hands tightly. He wasn't wearing the conspicuous suit, and he was wearing a thin shirt, which looked a bit old, with yellowed edges. He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his shirt. There are countless fine and dense scars on the skin that has become pale due to chemical reagents, some are from previous fights, some were cut by himself, but what is more conspicuous is the nine strokes of black scars on the back of his hands and arms. Curse, two strokes of which had faded and faded, "Now we're on fair terms, Bat."

A tall man appeared behind the clown in the golden light spots. Compared with the clown, he had short rose hair and was dressed in a gorgeous tuxedo. He put his hands on his chest and bent slightly. A gentleman's salute, "Mephistopheles, I would like to express my most sincere respect to all of you."

Jason first threw the rope into the window. They tested the strength to confirm whether it was safe when they picked up the children later. Damian sneered a few times and climbed up the wall first. The alliance trains various assassination and lurking skills, and coupled with its relatively small size, it is not difficult for him to climb such a high wall.

Damian first leaned against the window and carefully observed the environment inside the room. The children were all gathered in this room, but from this position, he could directly see the even bigger monster beyond the room. , the creature was slowly breathing up and down, black mucus seeped out from the skin, and slid down along the huge body little by little.

Seeing this thing with the naked eye is much more shocking than seeing it through a see-through screen.From the statement of the magician in a few words, he can more or less guess that something related to a creature like "Cthulhu" will affect a person's mind to some extent, so Damian just took a quick glance and controlled himself Don't look at the past, but count how many people are in this room.

Damian gripped the window sill tightly with one hand, and compared a number to the two elder brothers below with the other hand.

28.

But what's worse is that the younger ones make up the majority of them.By young, Damian meant cubs under the age of three.

Human cubs are very unstable creatures, their emotional ups and downs are beyond the reach of ordinary people, and Floating Horror will wake up because of something, none of them know.

Dick and Jason put away their weapons, pulled the rope and climbed up the wall. After making a final confirmation that there was no other threat in the room, they quietly crawled in through the window, tapping their toes on the ground without making any sound.The children may have been crying all night, and now they are so tired that they have fallen asleep, their eyes are red, and they occasionally choke a few times in their dreams.

Dick first stepped forward and gently closed the door. The existence of Floating Horror caused a surge of mental pressure for them, especially Jason. Dick was very worried about him. It seemed that he was in a very bad state these two days. At first Dick didn't even Approved to involve Jason.

But now it seems that falling in love is quite useful.Dick whispered inwardly.

They first picked up a few children who were sleeping soundly, and parked the car provided by Tony kindly. I don’t know where he called it remotely. It is self-driving and has a large capacity. As long as they don’t disturb other creatures In other cases, just pick up the kids in the car and take them back to town.

Robin was carrying a child, his face was wrinkled, and his expression was not very good. He was shocked and did not dare to speak loudly, so he could only call out with his lips: He peed!He actually peed! ! !How could he pee on his pants! ! !

When Steve Rogers was knocked down by the girl, some past events flashed through his mind for a moment. At that time, they were still good comrades in the Avengers Building, and all the plans had not yet started. All the things I wanted were kept deep in my heart, and I seemed to be very happy at that time.

BB can build a space of virtual existence through [Erosion of Reality], that is to say, she can directly extract a memory from Steve's memory, and then put Steve in that space.

In his life, he regretted too many things, missed too many things, and did too many wrong things.He was constantly recalling the past full of shame, the girl's purple eyes seemed to be staring from the depths of the universe, she or he looked at him, her eyes were soft and cruel, as if she was enjoying his pain .

BB lifted him up and grabbed the collar of his steel armor, the mask had been shattered, the girl could lift him up with one hand, and said sarcastically: "You are really weak, you are so weak no matter where you are? "

"..." The blond heroic spirit was still immersed in his memories, he murmured in a low voice: "Sorry...Tony..."

Tony, who was leaning against the tree, rolled his eyes. He and Tim's program to crack BB is at the most important moment. They have successfully captured the traces BB left in their armor.

It is a sunny day in Gotham today. The warm winter sun breaks through the thick clouds and casts down. The trees in this area have been overwhelmed in the battle, and there are no thick branches to block them. The sun falls on this area, just like a stage There were fine particles floating in the air, Tony looked at Ying Ling's golden messy hair, he was kneeling on the grass, his upper body was lifted up, his chest heaved, his eyes were half-closed, and red blood flowed from his forehead.

This scene gave him a strong sense of discomfort.Admittedly, he didn't like this captain. He didn't like Captain Hydra when he first appeared in front of him, because of the way he treated him carefully, as if he was trying to wait for some kind of redemption in this way.Tony hated it so much, hated being thought of as a substitute for something else.But that doesn't mean he can accept that the death of a man named Steve Rogers is so humiliating, being ridiculed by a girl who looks like a teenager and can't stand up anymore.

Come on, that's an all-American childhood idol.

"Tell him about these things!" Tony yelled, and at the same time he clenched his hands, the color of the two strokes of Command Seals on the back of his hand was slowly fading, and gradually became mottled: "I order you in the name of Command Seals, Steve Rogers!"

"Stand up! Fight like a real soldier!"

"Not yet time to open this, Bat, I don't like getting something for nothing," the Joker lamented, "So I've decided that we'll have a fair game and whoever gets this first wins."

"What are you thinking?" Batman didn't believe that the Joker would do this, his goal was to get the Holy Grail and open that Pandora's box, and this opportunity was right in front of him, how could he give it up in vain?

"Oh, you broke my heart." The clown pretended to hold his chest, "I just want to play with you."

Reed did not participate in the conversation between the two of them, but estimated the distance between himself and the Holy Grail, thinking about how to get the Holy Grail preemptively and destroy it directly.

At this moment, a loud cry came from upstairs, it was the voice of a child.

The clown clicked his tongue: "These little bastards who won't stop!" He said so, but the expression on his face was very happy, revealing the joy of a successful plan.

"I don't always have a long memory, and I don't know that crying will wake up other people."

Reed's intuition was wrong, and he subconsciously drew the barrier in his hand. In the next second, the ground began to shake, and lime powder fell from the ceiling of the factory, as if it was too heavy to collapse.

And the people on the second floor were also full of disbelief.

Originally, the rescue mission has reached the final stage, however, as Murphy's law says: If things have the possibility of going bad, no matter how small the possibility is, it will always happen.

I don't know if it's because of Floating Horror's influence on the children's spirits or because of the self-protection mechanism of excessive fear. When Jason picked him up from the ground, the three-year-old boy suddenly bit Jason. This is completely different from being bitten by a vampire to suck blood. The cubs will not relax and use as much force as he can accept. Jason hissed, feeling a tooth mark oozing blood on his shoulder.He pinched the little boy's mouth, comforted him in a low voice without hurting him, and told the boy that he was here to save them.

The little boy stared at him with red and swollen eyes, with distrust and fear in his eyes, as if he would turn into a wild beast in a second and come forward to bite him.Jason watched the child open his mouth wide, but before he could stop him, the other party let out a loud and clear scream. The sound was sharp and piercing, and even the rest of the children woke up. , Let alone the evil gods, even the spirits of the three of them began to become strange.

Jason was holding the child, feeling the hairs on his back stand up inexplicably, his intuition yelled for him to dodge quickly, his arm slammed into the wall, and he saw a thick and sticky tentacle coming in from the outside, Breaking through the flimsy wooden door, he punched a deep hole right where he had been just by his ear.

It’s over.

Floating Horror woke up.

Jason made a quick decision, he was too far away from the window with his back to the door, and Dick and Damian were both by the window, and he could leave by taking a few steps back.He threw the child in his hand to Dick, and even the last little girl around was lifted up by him.There are more and more tentacles of Floating Horror squeezing in from the narrow door behind him, and the walls faintly show signs of cracking.Jason didn't know why, he could feel that those tentacles seemed very excited.

Could it be that a suitable human container has been encountered?

This thought flashed through his mind, and he felt the approach of the tentacles. Jason threw the girl in Dick's direction, "Take them away!"

At the same time, he pulled out the blade of the Great Caste hanging on his waist. When the two daggers with golden light pierced the disgusting and slippery tentacles, the other party shrank back suddenly, but it didn't take long for Jason to come back. Before they had time to break free from them, more tentacles entangled them again.

Dick stood there for a second, hesitating, the two children twisted uneasily in his arms, and cried in the confusion. All these years of vigilante career told him that he should take the children first at this time.

But... how could he leave his brother in this place? !

It's terrible.When Jason's limbs were entangled, he thought, wouldn't he be the suitable 'human container'?

"Todd!" Vaguely saw the thin figure of Robin stepping on the window frame at the bright window, rushing towards this direction, but the tentacles resisted him, attacking violently one after another, making Damian almost Unable to take a step forward.

Damian bit his lower lip, and threw over the knife that he had been with for many years. He maintained it every day, and the knife surface he polished and sharpened hard into the tentacles. Jason heard the huge beast behind him Heavy breathing.

"Don't die! Todd!" Damian's immature voice was drowned out by the sticky sound of sliding around his ear.

In an almost suffocating environment, Jason struggled to find the grenade at his waist.

"Boom!"

"——————!"

There was a loud crack, followed by the sound of the earth falling away.

But none of this existed in Jason's ears. His ears were blown out, and the world became extremely quiet at this moment. He was trapped in the sticky tentacles and was falling.

Reed and the others watched helplessly as the ceiling above collapsed, and even the Floating Horror fell down together.

"Jason!" Reed saw his boyfriend in it at a glance.

Merlin stopped him, "Don't go there."

"But——" Floating Horror's body is so huge, it doesn't seem to have fallen from above, it's more like squeezing down from the broken hole, Jason's bright color is so in the darkness conspicuous.

"Looks like its container was found," Abigail said.

Reid's face turned pale, and the clown laughed wildly in front of everyone: "What a perfect coincidence hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, bat, this is a gift from me, do you like it? "

His malicious voice was filled with evil spirits, "Let you witness the second death of your bird with your own eyes."

The Laughing Bat, who hadn't shown his figure from the beginning, finally showed his figure at this time.

He stood beside Bruce, watching this scene as if he was watching a drama: "Jason was the first to break the wall, you know? These dead and resurrected are the culprits who attracted Barbatos. As long as he dies here, it means that you are a little farther away from danger."

Bruce Wayne stood there, his hands trembling uncontrollably.The ruins burned by the flames kept flashing before his eyes. He held his child's wrist at that time, but the little bird lost its vitality and fell straight from the blue sky, as if the Garden of Eden with Bruce also collapsed along with it. .

"In the name of the Command Spell..." His voice was hoarse, but he was extremely firm between each word, "I order you, Bruce Wayne, to save Jason, save Jason Todd."

The laughing bat's smile froze. This was completely different from what he had expected. The laughing bat's body moved uncontrollably. At that moment, a spiritual outfit that had never appeared before was equipped on his body. He was dressed in black, with goggles full of iron cones in front of his eyes, his face was pale, his mouth was split open like a clown, like a horror character in a horror film.

"Wait - no! You can't do this! Then you will never know the truth you want to know! You just destroy that cup and all this will disappear, including the threat from the dark multiverse! You can't do this !You know Batman never loses!"

"The truth has never been more important than my son's life."

Bruce to the Laughing Bat.

Rather than using Command Seals to give orders to the Laughing Bat, this time it was more like he was telling himself.

Must save his child.
