[Zhongyingmei] The Spirit Master is backstabbing again

batman.

Batman - Bruce Wayne.

And him, Jason Todd's once... father?

He might still have the position to call him that.

Hearing his voice, Jason felt that his tone was so calm, almost cold.

That voice fell into the night, mixed into the viscous darkness and could never be retrieved again, just like a traveler who fell into a swamp and could never climb up.

Only Jason himself could perceive that every drop of blood pumped from his heart was burning with screams.

【breathe. 】

【calm. 】

Jason kept emphasizing to himself.

Batman stood silently some distance away from the Red Hood.Even if he doesn't say a word, just standing here is enough to create a strong momentum and psychological oppression.It is the nightmare that Gotham's countless crimes fear.

His whole body carries the coldness extracted and condensed from the darkness, as if he will merge with Gotham.

Jason was all too familiar with all this, and Batman too.

When he was looking at each other, he even thought: ah.The Batman uniform has undergone a new makeover, which is different from before.

... I don't know how much the new Robin's current uniform has changed.

He once regarded that uniform as the most precious gift he had ever received.

When he fell in the warehouse wearing the Robin uniform, fell in front of the clown, and fell to the countdown to the bomb, Jason could still remember his excitement when he put it on for the first time and followed Batman on night patrol feel.

In fact, at the beginning, Jason, who was still living in Crime Alley, the boy who lost his parents and had to live alone, never imagined that he would have anything to do with Batman.

After all, when the question you are most worried about is 'can you find dinner today, will you end the day hungry again'.

It's really hard for you to be in the mood to pay attention to that big black guy flying around in the air.

You'll find out what he's up to again on the news, and you'll hear his name in the gossip in Crime Alley.But it was too far away from my own life, from the pale reality.

So under such circumstances, Jason's first meeting with Batman was not pleasant, even with some bad drama.

Jason pried off the tires of the Batmobile and was going to sell it for a few days of living expenses.Come on, he can't even afford to eat, is he still afraid of Batman?

…and was caught red-handed by Batman.

Back then Jason thought Batman was going to beat him up.Because in rumors, Batman always does that.

Sure enough, just as he imagined, Batman easily grabbed him by the collar and picked him up, then asked in a low, hoarse and oppressive voice——

"are you hungry?"

Jason even thought he saw a smile on his face.

...is a very 'Batman' kind of grin.

Then, Batman treats him to a hamburger. —Jesus, that sounds like a joke only a drunk would tell.

However, the incredible events that Jason encountered afterwards were not only these, but also more.

It turns out that Batman is the richest man in Gotham, Bruce Wayne who is called "Sweetheart Little Prince".

...However, when Jason met Batman for the first time, he even shared with him the dark history that he went to Wayne Manor to steal things, but got lost accidentally because the manor was too large.

Grass, he originally planned to show off his glorious experience to Batman!How did the result directly become #criminal suspect lost his way to know his way back, and tells his own mental journey in front of the victim#? !

And in the end—Bruce Wayne adopted Jason.Even handed over the responsibility of Robin to Jason.

Until Jason Todd's death, he was trying to be a good Robin.He cherishes everything he has gained, such as never had before... people who believed in him.

... until his death.

"What are you going to say?" Red Hood looked at Batman and asked in a drawn out voice, "Batman?"

[Red Hood] It will remind Batman of the Joker, the man who also used the red hood as his code name.

Batman withdrew his eyes from the cabin and stared at the other party, "It's what you plan to do."

The Iceberg Restaurant was just the beginning, and the Red Hood never stopped, and the few black ships tonight were also his targets.

He doesn't look like a criminal coming for a turf grab, but he doesn't look like a vigilante eager to help either.This is the strangest bit.

Jason had known for a long time that he and Batman would one day meet face to face.

As long as they're both alive and in Gotham, there's always going to be encounters.

...but the variable that Jason didn't expect was that Selene would be there when he went head-to-head with Batman.

Jason Todd needs Selene, and Jason Todd trusts Selene, but he doesn't want her to be involved in all this knowing nothing.

"..." Although Jason also clearly understood that the probability of Selinya being able to learn to 'stay out' in these matters is completely zero.

Just like you try to persuade a cat to stay away from your computer keyboard and not hinder you from continuing to work, the cat will not listen to you, but only: "Meow?"

It has to be said that Jason's understanding of Selinya has always been precise, and he never misses it.

When Selinya caught it from the system map—a strange [Batman] logo was approaching Jason, the little animal's stress response began to snap.

From the perspective of magical creatures and small animals, the existence of Batman is actually very mysterious.

——Although Selina saw him as often as she saw Bruce Wayne on the Gotham Daily, probably no less.

But in Selinya's view, Batman is like a powerful and fierce dragon, hovering over Gotham City, he is the defender and guardian of the city.

It is dawn in darkness.

Put simply, Batman looks like the chief of every tribe of magical beings, the lord of a certain domain in the human world.

In Selinya's era, they were still the kind of characters who needed to be worshiped regularly.

Celinya's mind flashed through all the things she, Jason, and the two little animals in the family had done in Gotham City.

From the killer crocodile and firefly encountered in the first mission, to the penguin man I just met not long ago, to the bad elements in Gotham Bay today.

Every incident is vividly remembered--

So Selina thought,

'Yes, Not Bad.no problem! 'Selinya confirmed with confidence: Wow, I and Jason are really two warm-hearted and kind citizens who deserve commendation!The two small animals in the family are also super obedient and obedient!

They start from every little thing around them, don't give up any tiny opportunity, express their pursuit with practical actions, and constantly help the people around them to improve their moral level.

(At the same time she made money herself. And a lot of money!!)

Selinya realized belatedly: So during this experience, they performed so well!

Batman will definitely appreciate good citizens like them who are dedicated and proactive!

system:"……"

Oh, that's alright.

Having self-confidence is a good personal quality.Like the host is very confident.

...even too fucking confident.

However, Selinya still had the instinctive vigilance of a small animal, and she was not at ease letting Jason face Mr. Batman alone.

Celinya only tried to use the system to search Jason's past during the time when Jason lost his memory. — and got nothing because of insufficient permissions.

After Jason recovered his memory, Selinya silently gave up on this question.

She doesn't have a strong desire to voyeuristically, and she must know the past of her teammates before she can give up.If Jason never opened his mouth to tell her [his past and memory], then this is Jason's own choice;

Fortunately, Serenia and Jason did a very successful job of "persuading" Ajie, and successfully made the original "I don't listen, I don't listen, I want revenge!" 'Ajie quieted down.What comes next will be handled with ease.

Take the system broadcast as evidence.

【Ding--】

"Congratulations to the host, the progress of the side mission 'Sherlock Holmes' oath' is 1/3, please continue to work hard."

——Selinia was only lucky to experience such a quick completion process in the two side missions related to Mr. Holmes and Mr. Bucky.

Xiaoyan Healer looked at Sherlock who was standing nearby quite moved.

Coincidentally, Mr. Holmes was also watching her.

With a subtle yet eager look.

The memory palace that only Sherlock himself can grasp bursts open, every flight of stairs is buzzing, and his eyes quickly and carefully scan Selina's body, dress and, tail.

Tail.

oh.Tail.

Watson had just finished the first aid treatment for Ajie to stop the bleeding. He took a deep breath, and finally said unbearably: "Sherlock, can you put your gaze in a more polite place."

Your eyes are almost glued on! !

I know tails are pretty rare, but this is Gotham!There are catwomen here!Anything rare can appear here!

So can you stop staring at the tailbone of a strange little girl? !

During the long stare, the cat's tail twitched awkwardly.After hesitating for two seconds, Selinya added considerately: "If you need medical support, I can also help."

Phoenix's proficiency is about to reach full level soon.

Mary: "...Thank you, you are so considerate."

oh.What a thoughtful and meticulous care.She is so sweet.

However, considering her unique understanding of the word "calm"...it is really easy to think that the medical support she mentioned is to directly clear a person's injury value.

Restore health = no more injuries = die

Clear the injury limit directly.

"……"stop.Can't think about it anymore.It's kind of scary.

"We can take care of ourselves—" thought Mary, and perhaps Sherlock and Watson were right.She can't continue to escape like this, she should convince Ajie, and then find the traitor who really destroyed their team.

...And what the little girl said made sense.Sometimes 'physical persuasion' really works well.

Looking at Ajie, who was no longer as hysterical and dazzled by hatred as before, Mary was thoughtful.

Mary turned to look at Selene, and continued, "So you—" Don't worry.

But just such a simple moment of turning around, Mary did not see the little girl wrapped in a robe, but saw a boy wearing a domino mask.

"Robin?" Mary recognized the other party's identity at a glance, with a surprised tone.

Tim originally came here with Bruce to deal with the smuggling incident, but tonight's Gotham Bay was far more lively than they had imagined.

The moment he rushed to step into the cabin, he even saw a cat flash past in front of him, and disappeared unexpectedly.Only the flicking tail flitted through the air.

"An unforgettable trip." Sherlock slowly put his hands back into his pockets, with an inexplicable gleam in his eyes, "It's like this for each of us."

With their rich experience in getting along, Mary and Watson felt that the other party must have seen something again.After all, he is Sherlock Holmes.

...But whenever the other party showed such a subtle expression, he would never express his reasoning so early.

That would be a wonderful reasoning of [Thegameison].

The cat hiding in the dark heard Jason's voice as soon as he approached Jason and Batman.

"So what do you want to do?" Red Hood said lazily, with a relaxed posture, "Throw me into Blackgate Prison, or into Arkham?"

"And then after I escaped, throw me in again—and repeat this process?" His voice became lower and lower, even a little hoarse, with more pain from new and old hatred, "It's like What would you do to a clown?"

Joker is not dead.

Jason didn't know how to describe how he felt after discovering this fact.

If the identities were reversed and the Joker took Bruce from his life, he would have killed the Joker anyway.anyway.

And after his death, the clown continued to do evil, and continued to use his disgusting logical theory to influence and brainwash other people. ——This was something Jason couldn't tolerate.As if his death was meaningless, still unable to alert the city.

…the city is not getting better.

There was a heavy laugh from under the red hood, "After you've got the evidence of my crime, don't do it. Batman."

"Or one day," Red Hood took a few steps back and walked to the edge of the high place, "I will come to you directly with my own evidence."

Jason really wanted to do that.

Jason thought about rushing into Arkham Asylum, grabbing the Joker and bringing him to Batman, where he would repeat all the torture he had experienced.

Or maybe one day, that's no longer an idea, but a plan.

—but someone is watching him, watching this ship of Theseus that has changed too much.

"..." Before Batman could respond, he watched the Red Hood standing on the edge suddenly fall backwards on his back.

Batman immediately reached out to stop him, but before he could get close, the Red Hood disappeared soundlessly into midair.

Batman: "..."

With violent large movements, the black cloak waved a silent arc behind him.He seemed about to merge with the darkness, with the city.

"! You jumped too suddenly!" The red hood who left the stage was being scolded by Selinya angrily, his tail was flapping behind the little girl, and it sounded like he was so angry that he was ready to jump up and revolt at any time To overthrow the Red Hood regime, "Can't you give me a heads up!"

"The teleport function for teammates is also subject to release conditions!"

She hasn't drawn a water god yet!If something goes wrong, how can she go into the water to find her teammates in the winter!

Jason: "Ha."

Stop it.If he made even one gesture in front of Bruce, the Batcave would be able to decipher codes in five different directions that night.

The cat's tail flicked aggressively behind him for a long time, but when he found that no one was paying attention to him, he ran to the front of the locomotive angrily.The wrist wrapped around Jason slapped and flapped to show his anger.

Jason: "..."

This way of expressing anger is quite special.

Through the teleportation function of the system, they ran very simply.Jason stepped on the gas pedal, "Go to the safe house—"

After Jason recovered his past memory, he remembered that he still had such a foothold.So he put some materials and weapons that were not suitable for throwing at home - after all, there were too many animals at home.There is also a wolf that looks like a husky and can tear paper.

"That's right," Sailinya's voice came hesitantly from the back seat, "Do you mind if we go there later?"

She looked at the names close at hand on the system map and spoke.

——[Mudface].

Just like the name.Clayface has a body as malleable as clay. His body can be transformed into any shape of weapon, and his appearance can be changed into anyone.

"..." Jason clenched his hands tightly.

"No. Of course I don't mind."

Because of the particularity of its body structure, Mudface is immune to all thermal weapons and is almost immortal.After all, who can kill a handful of dirt?

Also a super bug type criminal.

So when Mudface was stopped by Jason Hengche, he didn't even feel very scared, and he was in the mood to take a closer look at the other person's red hood, "If I were you, I would definitely not choose this code name."

"Some too famous madman used it." Mudface was pointing at the clown, who had gone mad with a red bucket on his head before.

Red Hood leaned casually on the locomotive, and the gun in his hand looked like a toy he just bought, "Ha, really."

He turned his head to look at Muddy Face, thoughtfully, "I've always wanted to know—"

"Know what?" Mudface heard the rustling sound of some kind of creature rubbing against the wall, and a sense of panic came over him, as if he was being watched by countless enemies.He subconsciously dissolved his body into a pool of mud and planned to escape——

But the vine branches that were climbing up from the wall were faster than his reaction.

The rapidly sprouting mistletoe is like a fierce beast with teeth and claws, killing a scent of joy in the dark soil.

Human weapons cannot kill dirt.

But plants love to take root in the soil, happily climbing along the muddy water, wrapping and absorbing the substances in the soil.

Red Hood lazily added: "I really want to know if you can use it to grow flowers."

Mudface: "..."

So your way to prove this question is to plant flowers directly with me? !

OK, not bad.You really don't look like the Red Hood at all.After all clowns love chemicals and you fucking love greenery.

...So you who make red hoods, don't you all like green?The clown's hair is green too!

Selinya, who had sprinkled a lot of seeds, came slowly from behind. She randomly picked a daffodil and put it in Jason's pocket. She couldn't wait to lean over and asked, "Is it okay?! Can I proceed to the next step! "

...Jason was thinking 'daffodils are the bait used by Hades to trap the Queen of Hades', upon hearing this, he frowned, "What's the next step?"

As he spoke, he pointed the gun at Muddy Face who was trying to find an opportunity to resist.The large amount of electric current almost scorched a newly born flower stamen, and made Muddy face shrink into a small ball, quickly compromised, "Stop, stop, stop! What are you guys doing here!"

Selinya: "...what did you stuff in your weapon?"

She had seen Jason's dagger stuffed with explosives before, and it would explode when thrown.She doesn't know much about modern weapons, but is this really normal?

Confused, Xiaoyan Healer cut the card he was wearing onto 【Loki】.

Celinya lowered her eyes slightly, staring at the mud face, showing a slow and sincere smile.

"Don't worry," her fingertips burst into dazzling sparks, "I, like him, just have a very curious little question that I want to verify!"

Watching her movements, Jason suddenly had a bad feeling, and he subconsciously asked, "...What have you been reading recently?"

Selinya replied proudly: "A mysterious book from the East! "Introduction to Pottery"!"

It's really amazing, she has only seen ceramics twice before at noble banquets.It is said that they all have a history of a hundred years and were carefully protected by the captain all the way before they could be successfully transported to this country.

A precious luxury.

Now she can not only understand the story and principle of the birth of ceramics through books; she also has the opportunity to try it herself!

Great!

Jason: "...Are you sure?"

oh.The clay can be fired into pottery after high temperature.

But are you sure it's this kind of dirt?

Mudface: "..."

Grass! !What kind of tone are you talking about!Since you want to stop her, can you be more confident? !Don't hesitate so much!

"No, no, no! I think we can still discuss it! You come to me, there must be some purpose, right?!"

please!They must have some purpose!

"Yeah, we're here for a friendly negotiation," Jason pulled Serenya back into the car, "I have a task for you."

"What's the mission?" Mudface's thoughts were running fast, "Robbing a bank? What target to kill? Or—"

"Don't worry, it's much safer than that." Red Hood bent over and stared at Mudface, "I want you to find Batman." He said something in a low voice.

Mudface: "...how about I go and rob the bank?"

Damn, this is a hundred times more terrifying than robbing a bank.

"No, what I mean is," seeing the girl behind the red hood approaching expectantly after hearing the words, Muddy Face quickly changed his words, "Okay. No problem."

After friendly consultations, a strategic cooperation was reached.

Jason only made Mudface do one thing.

On the second night, disguised as the dead second-generation Robin, he appeared in front of Batman.

It was a plan that almost drove Mudface crazy.

But between "changing flower mud", "changing ceramics" or "being beaten by Batman", he painfully chose the latter with the greatest possibility of survival.

"Don't you want to know what's going on over there?"

Jason, who had just escaped from the battle, had fire in his eyes, and he turned to look at Selinya who spoke.

The tiny earphones that communicated with Mudface had been knocked out, and he had guessed the possibility.

Selinya stood up and covered Jason's ears with her hands. ——This is the system function that Serenia just had after the upgrade.The ambient sound of the mission location can be tracked in real time.

A chaotic noise and the sound of punching and tearing entered Jason's eardrums, and he heard many small voices, as well as the voice of 'myself'.

"I want to get your love." It was the second-generation Robin disguised as Muddy Face, telling Batman.

Jason: "..."

Then came Bruce's voice, "This is what's wrong with your disguise."

"Until it was all over...Jason always knew how much I loved him."

That voice seemed to hit a certain corner of his heart, sending out a dull echo, raising countless gravels to flow along his blood vessels, enveloping the blood pumped from the heart.

"He loves you." Jason heard Selina repeat.

【Ding--】

[Sub-quest: A Mockingbird Progress: 4.5/6]

Jason's eyes stayed in mid-air for a long time. He didn't know what he was looking at, and he didn't even know what picture his retina had captured.

After an unknown length of silence, Jason stuffed the little girl into his arms silently, resting his forehead on her shoulder, "He never said that to me before."

"Then I have an audio recording here." Serenya patted the system panel, "And if you want, there is actually a video version." Although the video costs extra money.

She turned her head to look at Jason, and asked seriously, "Do you want me to play it to you now? The one with the highest volume."

System: ...I don't think the task record is used in this way... Forget it.

Selinya's waist was tightly bound, and Jason's hoarse laughter was heard.It seemed helpless, but also relieved.

And a moment later - "Remember to send it to me."
