[Zhongyingmei] The Spirit Master is backstabbing again

batman.

Robin.

clown.

[The clown is still alive]

【Batman has a new Robin】

These two facts were displayed in front of Jason at the same time.

As if a certain keyword was triggered, Jason's eyes flashed countless broken pictures almost in an instant.

Jason saw in those pictures... his former self.

——His ship of Theseus has not encountered any changes, and it still remains the same as it was at the beginning.

When he pried the tires of the Batmobile in Crime Lane, when he was brought home by Bruce, when he put on the Robin uniform for the first time to prepare for the night patrol, when he was happy because he found the whereabouts of his biological mother.

And in the warehouse, when he was tortured and killed by the clown.

Jason felt that the blood in his body was quickly evaporating and draining in the high temperature boiling.

He could clearly feel the constant twitching pain as his muscles contracted and convulsed, but he couldn't control himself.

Jason couldn't even make any remedy.

He just feels pain.

The kind of pain that can torture people to the point of madness does not even come from the wounds on his body that have never healed, but from something deeper—more distant.

Such as the nightmare that kept a 15-year-old boy from waking up again.For example, the past full of gunpowder smoke and bloody smell.For example, no one can make it in time.

"Breathe," Jason forced himself to calm down. There were many—too many, too many images flashing back in his mind. He tried to ignore the pain that was flowing through his veins like molten gold. Gritting his teeth, he kept telling himself, 'Breathe.breathe. '

It seems to be forcibly diverting attention, and it seems that I am afraid that I will really forget how to breathe. — After all, he did spend a long time without needing to breathe.

Watching the quickly disappearing figures of Batman and Robin, Jason staggered a few steps unconsciously, just like when he just climbed out of the coffin, stumbling, seemingly forgetting how people should walk normally.

Like a dead soul that does not belong to this world, put on a human skin and pretend to be normal.

And then Jason felt...a warmth creeping up his arms.

"..." Jason was a little unable to react, and slowly lowered his head to look at the almost scorching temperature for him.

——It was Selina who held his arm.

Just like what Selinya did for him when he just climbed out of the coffin.

...It was always her who supported the dead soul who returned to the world.

Find an anchor for the Ship of Theseus.

"You're trembling." Celinya grabbed Jason and applied the maximum healing buff for him.

Celinya has used very euphemistic terms.

In fact, Jason now looks like a piece of broken glass that was barely spliced ​​together again. Even a slight external shock can make him shatter again, so broken that it can never be put back together again.

Jason: "..."

Very strange.

Jason felt that Selinya's voice was like a Domerol, piercing all those painful and complicated emotions.

Let him suddenly calm down.

"It's a clown," Jason tried hard to control his facial muscles, not to express too much pain in front of Selina, "That madman is going crazy again—"

At about the same time, the clown verified Jason's statement with practical actions.

He is indeed a madman.

"Good evening, Gotham!" A high-pitched man's voice came from the advertising screen on the street, and the man with clown makeup on his face stood in the middle of the screen with a smile, greeting this kind of city with enthusiasm, "It's been a long time not see!"

The green-haired man's eyes were constantly turning at a strange frequency, showing some abnormal nervousness.

He smiled very hard, and the corners of his mouth seemed to rush to the back of his head and clap left and right.But his bright smile can't make people feel any kindness, but only the cold and suffocating horror.

That's it, clown.

The nightmare of the city, the abyss of the city.

Celinya clearly felt the rapid cooling of Jason's hands.Standard high alert.

"..." So Selina held Jason's hand even harder.

Clowns not only appeared on the huge advertising screens on the street, but also invaded the public broadcasting system.

——His face is on countless screens that have been hijacked by the signal, even including private mobile phones.

Clowns are like the germs of this city, they only need a slight vibration in the air, and they can crazily spread and spread to everyone.

"Gotham City is so boring lately—" the clown threw himself into the broken and dirty sofa, sounding very distressed, "so I had to invite a group of funny cuties to have a wonderful game .”

With the clown's voice, the camera screen quickly switched and was connected to another channel.

——It is a scene that is constantly shaking against the floor, and only the airtight cries filled with depression, as if soaked in salt water, can be heard.

The camera slowly lifted up, and the 'players' who were 'invited' by the clown to play the game appeared in the center of the screen.

…It was a group of kids who looked like they were still in elementary school.

The average age is no more than ten years old.It looked like there were about a dozen of them, all curled up in a corner and shivering.

The camera only stayed on these sobbing children for less than three seconds, and the clown's face immediately filled the screen again, he pretended to be playing with the cross in his hand, "I have prepared very interesting toys for these children! If no one can find them in time, this group of cute little angels will soon be booming with the fireworks! Soaring into the sky happily!"

"I don't know if the little bat can make it this time." The clown looked down at his empty wrist, which didn't wear a watch at all. "If he doesn't have time to save everything, then it's really—"

That pale and terrifying face suddenly moved closer to the camera, like a demon that was close to everyone, he pulled the corner of his bloody mouth, and paused every word, "——What a pity!"

"Ticktack, ticktack—Hurry up! Only 7 minutes!" The clown mumbled hurriedly, he opened his arms and spun around, "ticktack, timeisup! Bat, don't go [again] this time! It's too late!"

Accompanied by a loud noise of [stabbing——], the signal was interrupted.

The large and small screens returned to darkness again, and the air in the entire city seemed to be completely sucked out, which was unbearable.

"..."

Perhaps other people don't know who the group of children threatened by the clown is.But Bruce and Tim recognized it immediately...it was a group of orphanage children who had just received funding from the Wayne Group and were preparing to participate in the New York City Science and Technology Fair.

...This was supposed to be a trip to let children see more hope.

The clown loves to annihilate all hope into despair.

This is the clown.A master at manipulating humanity.

He knows too well how to crush a person's hope from the bottom of his heart.

Like he's been emphasizing time and time again, 'Batman never had time to save anything'.

"Ohhh," one of the men in charge of guarding the children on the ship gasped in admiration after the picture of the clown went black, "this is really beyond imagination."

The fellows who also wore clown masks gave out exclamations of approval.

——Those who can be the clown's subordinates are either money-greedy fools or idiots who are desperate for life.And the people who are staying here now possess both elements.

The man who spoke first sat on the swivel chair and turned around, looking impatiently at the children who were still crying softly, "Why are you crying!"

He raised his foot and kicked the knee of a nearby boy, "Keep your voice down, do you hear me! You are too noisy!"

"Why are you so irritable?" The man sitting next to him looked at this scene and suddenly smiled. He bent down and took out two clown-like dolls from his bag, and threw them at the children, "Come on, little boys, A gift from your uncle."

"Be obedient and hold it, and you won't feel scared."

Under the persecution of the man's eyes, the two children sobbed and picked up the ugly doll that fell nearby, and held it in their arms tremblingly.

When people are nervous, they always like to grab the things closest to them.These little ones are no exception.

The man withdrew his gaze in satisfaction, and continued to grope in the bag for a while, "Oh, I found it."

"Before I left, the boss stuffed it in the bag," the man pulled the dying little red bird out of the bag with his wings, "I really don't understand why you brought this with you..."

As he spoke, he casually threw the red robin on the table.

The man patrolling back and forth with a gun stretched his waist. He listened to the whimpering of the children, and comforted him very kindly: "Don't be so sad, maybe Batman will come to save you soon. Hahaha—— "

"Oh, yes, the premise is that they can come quickly."

"Maybe they really have a way..." Someone whispered, "Didn't it mean that Batman will always have a plan B? In case he drives a yacht or an airplane... maybe a paraglider is also possible. I heard that Bruce Wayne is a bat Xia’s sponsor, he is so rich, in case all these tools are prepared—”

Before he could finish speaking, his accomplice gave him a slap on the back of the head, "Shut up!"

"The countdown is less than 5 minutes," the accomplice added disapprovingly, "They can't come so soon. We won't meet Batman and them."

--nonsense!If he hadn't been sure of this, he wouldn't have the guts to do it!

Otherwise he wouldn't have the courage to face Batman and Robin without the Joker around...that would be too fucking scary.He'd fucking faint the moment he saw Batman.

Ships that are still in the water are not so easy to land.

Airplanes always take time to prepare, and so do boats.Maybe the paraglider will be faster, but... the countdown number has jumped to the beginning of four.

During the entire process, they never had the chance to face Batman - something the Joker had promised them before.

"Then what shall we do later?" Someone soon asked uneasily, "Since even Batman can't come, how can we escape?"

"There is a lifeboat prepared at the bottom of the cabin," the man replied confidently. "According to the plan, we only need to go down 2 minutes earlier, and we will be in time—"

"yes."

A very light blade pressed against his neck, and a strange female voice sounded, "Where are you going?"

There were two muffled bangs, and something heavy flew by, hitting the hands of the two men holding guns cleanly from behind.

The man sitting on the swivel chair subconsciously turned around and took out his weapon. The enemy behind him pulled out the gun from his waist. No one could see how he loaded it and aimed it. They only felt that the next moment before he recovered, The bullet had already pierced through his arm.

No one even heard anyone's approaching footsteps.The enemy has already appeared among them.

Without even realizing what happened, the battlefield was completely under the control of the enemy.

"..." They could only hear the trembling of their bodies and the sound of their hearts beating wildly.

After the warning of [triggering high-risk enemies] sounded, Selinya automatically entered the mission state.There are two types of location that can be located by the system teleportation function: within one kilometer around the mission trigger point, or the location where Selina has been.

This time the task trigger location is on the water.The most suitable place to land within one kilometer is only the hull itself.

So of course Selinya and Jason would land here.

Jason made a few bangs to confirm that there were no more monitors left in the room.

[Card Card Hades] The level of proficiency has been upgraded, and the number of bound weapons has also increased. Selina pressed the death scythe against the man's neck, "Go find the ship you mentioned."

The strong breath of death carried by the scythe rushed towards the face, the man's legs softened, and he slid down from the chair, he stammered and howled, "I, I'll take you—"

The clown did not tell these subordinates how many "little toys" he had prepared and where they were placed.

So evacuation is the best option now.

Selinya looked at the group of children with tears on their faces, and gritted her teeth fiercely.

She hates people who shoot cubs the most.

Selinya snapped her fingers, and the air around her twisted for a moment, and the snow wolf and three-headed dog, formed by the condensation of magic elements, came instantly and obeyed her faithfully.

"Take those kids with you."

After giving the order to the snow wolf and the three-headed dog, Selinya and Jason glanced at the countdown displayed on the screen.

...just 3 minutes left.

The original snow wolf and three-headed dog look really scary.But it was also very reliable, throwing the children on his back with resistance and arching - oh, and of course the three heads of the three-headed dog.

I don't know if it's because the children understand that they are here to save themselves, so they are all surprisingly well-behaved.Even though he was lying on top of these two terrifying beasts, he didn't cry or make trouble, and he was very obedient and took one step at a time.

"This is impossible!" The man who was leading the way screamed. Looking at the empty storage room, his scalp felt numb. "Boss said it! The lifeboat is parked here!"

How, how could it be empty!

Jason: "Ha."

"Haven't you ever thought about what the clown meant when he told you 'there is no chance to face Batman'?" Jason kicked open several locked doors around him, and sure enough, he saw a large number of densely packed 'explosive spots' inside. "In fact, it means that you will die here directly."

With the one-off Tool Man blasting into the sky along with the ship, of course there's no chance of ever going head-to-head with Batman.

Does the Joker really think Batman has nothing to do but wait for it to happen?

No, how is it possible?He just brainwashed these people into thinking so.

After all, the tool people only need to complete the task obediently, and don't need to know how terrible enemies they face.

The clown is a person who can shoot his subordinates while saying "you are my right-hand man".

What did Batman ever miss?Didn't have time to do what? ——Jason is all too, too clear about this.

So he also knows what the Joker wants to achieve now: The Joker wants Batman to find out again that he failed to save others in time.

...Jason would never allow this kind of thing to happen again.He couldn't wait for...he didn't wait for anything.

Then he should always, always should do it in time.

The man's face was pale, and he couldn't stand still, "...Then, what should we do..."

The arrogant and self-confident attitude of controlling other people's life and death is completely gone.

Jason followed Bruce to learn how to dismantle bombs, but in less than 3 minutes, there was no time to deal with the bombing points all over the ship.

And the teleportation function of the system can only be used within the range of teammates——

"Go to the deck." Selinya reached out and picked up the children who were closest to her, "Let's go."

[Countdown: 2 minutes]

The moment he rushed to the deck after rolling and crawling, a sharp-eyed man caught sight of the approaching Batwing in mid-air, and howled in surprise, "It's Batman and Robin!"

"They're coming to save us—"

...It's completely gone from the performance he just believed Batman wouldn't show up.

"How the hell is there still time to land! Let's dive in early and wait for them to fish!" The tall man tore off the clown mask on his face, "I don't want to wait to die!"

In fact, he was also a little guilty. With the dense distribution of explosion points, the shock wave could probably smash all creatures in the water into pieces.

While holding back his panic, the man reached out to grab a nearby child.

Oh, he is not stupid.If it's only him, who knows if Batman will save him first.But if he has a child in his hand, then Batman will definitely consider this little burden first—"Damn it! Let go! Let go!!"

The Snow Wolf let out a roar, and rushed forward to bite the man's hand viciously. The oppression and threat brought by the beast raised by the Ice and Snow Goddess was overwhelming fearful suppression.

And Selinya has already switched the cards.

The bright snow light leaked from her fingertips, the ice elements in the air were quickly squeezed and condensed, and a huge ice light magic circle appeared at Selinya's feet.

[Card Card Skadi], the goddess of ice and snow.

Lingling Master stared at the water in front of him, his voice colder than ice and snow cut through the air, "Lingling. Bing."

Winter is coming.The nightmare of all life, at this moment, comes.

That was the wind blowing from Solemheim.

It was the dream of the Winter Goddess looking at the starry sky.

More menacing than any living creature's deepest nightmare of cold.

For a spiritual master to change the world, all he really needs is one sentence.

Nearly [-] meters of ice instantly formed from below the deck.It is the goddess cloak raised high.

[Countdown: 1 minutes]

"...At least we have the fastest landing place," Dick said, manipulating the machine to make an emergency landing. "...Isn't it? She didn't want us to land faster?"

Seeing Selinya throw several criminals onto the ice one after another, almost everyone had question marks in their minds.

Only Jason, after looking up at her, jumped down with a few children in his arms.

"What the hell do you want to do!" The snow wolf carrying the children trampled the prisoners under their feet, and the man roared angrily, "Are we waiting to die?!"

[Countdown: 30 seconds]

Selinya, who was standing on the ice, had already touched the hull.

"Don't be fucking dreaming! Even if you really freeze this ship, the explosion will blow the ice away!"

The system couldn't help but said: "...Host, the current strength of the Skatica card is really not enough to support you... huh?"

Selinya pressed without hesitation: [System Backpack - Storage]

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the ship was packed with densely packed explosive spots.Disappeared.

System: ... Grass.My backpack seems to have a time pause function? !

Countdown: 10 seconds.It stopped there.

The horrible disaster that was put into the backpack turned into a cute q-version ship symbol.
