[Comprehensive British and American] Backbones League

It was Salas' wish to enter the Lazarus Pool again, but at this moment he would rather not have this wish.

As long as the person in his arms opens his eyes again, he will take him out of here ahead of time, without entanglement in the past.

But things had come to this point, and Salas would not waste time on remorse and pain.

He's not Batman, he doesn't hesitate to ask whether he's crazy or not, and for him, it's his only hope that Peter doesn't die in his arms.

So he entered the pool of Lazarus without hesitation, without even a slight pause.

What Lei Xiaoaogu just wanted to design him to enter the Lazarus Pool, and why there is an absolute trap buried in the Lazarus Pool is not within the scope of Salas' thinking.

Whether it's conspiracy or conspiracy, he's not afraid at all.

Didn't Lei Xiaoaogu say that he is the pool of Lazarus?If he was the pool of Lazarus, then Peter didn't deserve to die in his arms.

At this moment, a thought flashed in Salas's mind, if only he were really the pool of Lazarus.

The pool of Lazarus once saved Jason and allowed Lei Xiaoaogu to live for a long time.

Any wound, even a fatal wound, as long as it enters the pool of Lazarus, people can survive smoothly.

Peter is no exception.

If he was Lazarus Chi, he would protect Peter and allow him to reopen his eyes under the absolute threat of death.

After entering the pool, the wound on Peter's body began to heal slowly, and the green pool water slowly entered Peter's body.

At this moment, the fear in his heart was only slightly reduced.

Great, the pool of Lazarus has an effect on Peter.

He knew that the possibility of no effect was only one in ten thousand, but as long as there was that possibility, there was an uncontrollable fear in his heart.

Seeing that Peter was recovering now, he was barely relieved.

This is the first time that Salas has watched so clearly how the pool of Lazarus resurrected a human being. The strange green liquid slowly entered Peter's body like a living thing, covering his whole body.

Then, Salas felt the vitality.

The fresh life force emanating from the green liquid seems to be the fundamental reason why the Lazarus Pool can revive humans.

Salas opened his eyes, feeling the difference so clearly.

However, at this moment, Peter in his arms suddenly started to fall.

At that speed, it was as if something had caught Peter and pulled him down.

Before that, Salas had been hugging Peter hard, not daring to let go.

This is impossible, this is the first thought that flashed in Salas's mind, no one can take a person from him.

In the next second, he realized that this might not be human power.

He reacted quickly and fell after Peter.

Thanks to what he is using now is just one of his bodies, so even if he doesn't breathe, even if he dies, he doesn't feel bad.

Peter fell very fast, and almost fell into the bottom of the pool in the blink of an eye. Even with all his strength, Salas could barely keep Peter within his sight.

So he took a step behind, watching the black mud baths at the bottom seem to come alive, instantly enveloping Peter who fell into the bottom of the pool.

This is……

Salas suddenly realized something.

A very strong malice exudes from these muds.

Just now, he was confused, he felt the vitality in those green liquids, not evil thoughts, so why did those people who entered the pool of Lazarus to be resurrected go crazy?

Now he knew that it was not because of the pool water, but because of the endless black mud buried at the bottom of the pool water.

The pool water repairs all the wounds of the human body, while the black mud that coexists with it injects evil thoughts into the human body.

Salas landed beside Peter, without even thinking about it, he subconsciously wanted to pull Peter out of the black mud.

At this time, Peter was almost half covered in black mud. When Salas pulled him, the black mud climbed up his arms as if he had found a second host.

Unlike Peter, the black mud disappeared naturally almost as soon as it climbed onto Salas' body, as if absorbed.

Feel it, Salas feels it.

He felt that evil thought the moment the black mud entered his body.

It's just that those evils are still too small compared to the parts carried by his body, and they are naturally absorbed by him as soon as they enter, and the absorbed ones are only enough to make his heart slightly turbulent, not even enough for his body. His evil thoughts deepened.

Salas continued to increase his strength, trying to drag Peter out of the black mud package.

Those black mud who tried to invade Salas realized that Salas could absorb them naturally, and no longer expanded to Salas, but wrapped Peter even harder.

The unconscious Peter also seemed to be able to feel the danger of the black mud, and began to struggle naturally.

Salas realized that everyone's acceptance of evil is different. The black mud wrapped Peter's body, and only a very small amount of black mud slowly entered Peter's body, unlike Salas, who was completely accepted as soon as he touched it.

This gave Salas more time, so he started pushing harder.

Hei Ni also found him as a contender, so he was naturally unwilling to let Peter, the prey of his mouth, speed up, covering his whole body in the blink of an eye.

Go away, go away!

Salas was angry, and a kind of anger rose in his heart that his property was being robbed by others.

He didn't even want to infect Peter, how dare these black mud?

At the moment of his anger, the black mud stopped suddenly as if sensing his emotions.

Then quickly retreated from Peter's body, and in the blink of an eye, Peter's body had become clean.

what happened?The black mud that was fighting with him just now flinched in the blink of an eye?

Salas observed carefully, and suddenly found something glowing from Peter's chest.

He raised his hand, moved lightly, and tore off the clothes on Peter's chest.

I saw the red gem floating out of Peter's chest with the flow of the pool water.

This is……

Salas' pupils dilated slightly.

He remembered this, he snatched this from the black mask, and then he casually threw it to Peter.

At that time, he didn't think that something would happen between him and Peter later, and sending it out was purely on a whim.

He thought that a superhero like Peter had already found the owner of the stolen black mask and returned it.

He didn't know that after getting the ruby, Peter tried to find the owner, but found that the source of the ruby ​​could only be traced to the black mask. The things were kept and intended to be given to Salas, but too many things happened later, and they stayed on Peter after going around.

But at this moment, the red light from Ruby's body enveloped Peter and dispersed all the black mud on his body. By chance, it protected Peter from evil thoughts.

For a moment, Salas had mixed feelings in his heart.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand and hooked the chain on the ruby.

Unexpectedly, he just hooked a little bit, and the chain seemed to be corroded by nature, and it was broken along the position he touched.

Salas watched helplessly as the red gem fell into the black mud.

The black mud seemed to be avoiding it, and quickly hid to other places, and a large area was vacated on the ground in the blink of an eye.

But those black muds are too much, no matter how they avoid them, there will always be on the ground, just like no matter how holy a person is, there must be evil, and it will never be eliminated.

As a result, the black mud kept dodging away, and the ruby ​​fell deeper and deeper.

Fortunately, before the ruby ​​fell completely into the depths, Salas bent down and picked it up.

The ruby ​​fell into his hand, and Salas first felt that he wanted to throw it out.

Hot, too hot.

It naturally exudes a warm power, which happens to be the most unacceptable existence for Salas.

But Salas naturally clenched it tightly, and then grabbed Peter.

If it kept Peter clean, he'd have it in his hand no matter what.

While feeling the scorching temperature in his palm, he took Peter's hand.

After careful inspection, there were no other wounds or messy black mud on Peter's body, so Salas relaxed a little.

At this time, he began to think about how to get out of this situation.

Without the package of black mud, Peter naturally floated upwards. If Salas hadn't held him back, he might have already floated to the surface of the water by this time.

This is probably the most natural way to revive the Lazarus Pool.

But Salas didn't intend to do this, because Peter was not "polluted" by the black mud, so when he appeared in front of Lei Xiaoaogu again, they would only face the previous scene again - being hunted down.

Salas hasn't figured out what the thing in Lei Xiao Aogu's hands that seems to be able to destroy his fundamentals is, so he will only die if he goes up rashly.

At this moment, Peter's eyelids moved twice, and then slowly opened his eyes.

"Are you awake?" Salas took his hand and slowly wrote in his hand.

In the water, they couldn't hear each other's voices, so they could only talk in this way.

The pool of Lazarus is as comfortable as a mother's body. There is no need to consider the problem of breathing, and two people can exist naturally.

However, this way is more ambiguous than speaking.

Salas' fingertips stroked Peter's palm gently.

Peter's body just recovered, his brain is still not very clear, all reactions follow instinct, instinctively blushing, instinctive heartbeat speeding up, instinctively trembling in Salas' hands.

He subconsciously raised his head to look at Salas, his eyes were as clean as a newborn baby, and his mind was still blank.

Instinctively, he took Salas's hand.

It took a few seconds for him to react and nodded.

"Where is this place?" He looked around, a thought flashed in his mind, and then he wrote in the palm of Salas, "The pool of Lazarus?"

Salas also nodded.

"Then are you okay?" Peter continued to ask, he was a little nervous, for fear that Salas, who entered the Lazarus Pool, would increase his madness.

Salas thought it was funny, so he said back: "You should care about yourself, you also entered the pool of Lazarus, are you crazy?"

He would not tell Peter about the black mud entering his body naturally, as if his body was a natural container for carrying the black mud, but he just naturally mentioned Peter's situation and changed the subject.

Peter first thought about Salas, and then he thought about himself.

He was a little surprised, so he wrote in Salas' hand: "I'm okay?"

"Yes, you're fine." Salas didn't mention the process of competing for Peter with Hei Ni just now, but joked, "Probably because you are a natural superhero, and evil thoughts dare not invade you."

When he wrote about the violation, his movements were very light, as if he was deliberately molesting him.

Peter glared at him, and then he smiled and told what happened to Ruby just now.

"So it's like this..." Knowing that he was really not polluted, Peter heaved a sigh of relief.

"Keep it safe." Salas emphasized as he handed the ruby ​​to Peter.

He could feel the black mud ready to move, ready to invade Peter's body again.

Peter nodded: "Then can you find that baby now?"

He always remembered that Salas wanted to enter the Lazarus Pool because he wanted to find the baby in the Lazarus Pool, but now that Salas had entered, he naturally thought of this matter.

Who knew he would bring it up, but Salas shook his head.

He dodged the subject, writing: "Instead I'm wondering how we're going to get out."

Salas said that this question is also a particularly troublesome one.

"You don't want to look anymore? You didn't come for that?"

Salas shook his head, he had a guess in his mind, but he didn't want to confirm that guess in front of Peter.

Seeing that he had already made a decision, Peter didn't force it. He thought for a while and suddenly said, "Maybe I have a way."

Lei Xiao Aogu looked at the calm water and suddenly had waves, so that the restlessness in his heart was suppressed.

Salas had been in it for too long, so long that he began to wonder if something had changed in it.

Then he saw Salas emerge from the water, with his boy at his side.

Lei Xiaoaogu started laughing, especially when he saw the boy started to wear some green eyes, he couldn't help but started laughing.

"Look, look, my child, what are you struggling for, and you've come to this point in the end." Lei Xiaoaogu said arrogantly.

He ignored the little anxiety just now, and at this moment he has absolute confidence—after all, no one will not be resurrected by the Lazarus Pool, and no one will not be infected by the madness of the Lazarus Pool.

He believed that even Batman couldn't get out of the Lazarus Pool. Back then, Batman didn't even dare to put his son in the Lazarus Pool.

Now, neither can Peter Parker.

Lei Xiaoaogu walked to the edge of the pool and stretched out his hand to Salas.

Saras pulled Peter, ignored Lei Xiaoaogu's hand, and stepped up from the edge of the pool by himself, but Peter, who was pulled by him, looked blank, only with a little green eyes, and he didn't seem to wake up from the resurrection .

Salas ignored Lei Xiao Aogu, but Lei Xiao Aogu was not angry. He withdrew his hand and turned around to continue to face Salas. He knew very well that no matter what expression Salas made, it was impossible. Change his status quo - the fact that Peter Parker has been infested by the Lazarus Pool.

In this regard, Salas has already lost.

The leader of the League of Assassins will not be stingy enough to haggle over someone who has already lost.

So he didn't show any anger at this childish behavior. Instead, he smiled at him tolerantly, as if he was really a child's kind and kind grandfather.

"Batman will not tolerate you who are crazy and a Spiderman who is driven crazy by you." Lei Xiaoaogu said, "You have no other way to go. You have to bring him back as a villain, you can Escape from Batman again and again, but he is not sure, or are you going to Arkham with him? To be honest, I hate your soft-heartedness, it makes me feel angry, my dear child, but I I appreciate you, so I allow you to have a little emotion, and now I give you a sincere suggestion, come back to me."

"What can you offer me?" Salas sneered, "Just a shelter that I don't know if it's safe? Are you sure I really need this?"

"Saras, you know very well that if you don't need you, you won't come up." Lei Xiaoaogu said, "You will try your best to escape, and more importantly... when you enter the pool of Lazarus, It was doomed to be abandoned.”

Salas grinned: "Maybe I came here to lie to you? Let you relax your vigilance? After all, the entire Lazarus Pool is surrounded by your people, and I can't run even if I want to."

Behind him, Peter shook his hand quietly, but Salas still looked at Lei Xiaoaogu with a half-smile, as if provocative.

The more he said that, the more Lei Xiaoaogu felt that this was his last struggle when he was desperate. After all, the more ferocious the animal, the more it will deliberately show its fangs when it is weak.

So Lei Xiaoaogu shook his head: "You don't need to guard against me like this, Salas, of course, I understand that you are wary of me, but you must know that I am always your grandfather."

"That's not necessarily true." Salas sneered, and pulled Peter outside, "According to what you said, I am Lazarus Chi, and Lazarus Chi has no parents, let alone a grandfather."

Lei Xiaoaogu stopped the person who was about to block Salas, but he seemed to know that what Salas said was different from what he actually did, and said to him: "Your boy needs to rest, Coming out of the Lazarus Pool for the first time, he has received too much and still needs to digest it, so he can’t think clearly, as for when he will recover, it depends on the individual’s physique.”

Salas ignored him, but tilted his head slightly, giving a reaction he already knew.

"Soon he will become different, maybe you will be happy with that change." Lei Xiaoaogu said, "Maybe he will cooperate with you to do some things together in the future, for example..."

"Don't think about him, Ao Gu." Salas suddenly stopped and tilted his head, "He doesn't kill people, and he won't kill people. He's not that kind of person."

He said so, but his expression was very gloomy. It looked more like Sarah Wayne was unwilling to "Peter would kill" than "Peter would not kill".

His reaction is an interesting thing for Ogu, perhaps because the villain is naturally keen to destroy everything that others love. The more Salas is concerned about Peter being infected by the Lazarus pool, he The more I feel happy.

"Do you like his good side more? It's a pity, Salas, you who were born in the mud will not have such a good Peter Parker. When he is broken and no one wants it, you can pick him up. home, then he is yours."

This is a truth.

Lei Xiaoaogu didn't know, he said so many words, only this sentence could move Salas.

But Salas held Peter's hand, his agitated heart calmed down again, and then he said, "Take me to the room you prepared for me."

Lei Xiaoaogu didn't intend to continue to persecute him. The master of the Assassin's League knew people's hearts well, so he knew very well not to go too far.

It would be more effective to let Salas think for himself.

He understands how terrifying the pool of Lazarus is to a person. A superhero is so terrifying only after being resurrected by the pool water, let alone being born from the pool of Lazarus...

So he is very aware of Salas's nature, and no one can break away from his nature, just like Salas has struggled for so long, but finally took the path of a villain.

This is instinct, an irresistible instinct.

Saras pulled Peter, and entered the place arranged by Lei Xiaoaogu obediently, not daring to let go of Peter's hand for a moment.

No one in the League of Assassins likes his extroverted emotions. Even when Damian was in the League of Assassins, he didn't protect someone like Salas.

In their view, Salas is neither a member of the Assassin League nor a member of the Assassin League. For those who don't know the inside story, they don't even understand why Lei Xiaoaogu values ​​Salas.

Such doubts were reflected in the way they looked at Salas. Even though the emotion was not obvious, Salas's keenness made him aware of it immediately.

But at that time, he didn't show this perception on his face, but grabbed Peter's hand even harder, as if deliberately confirming their conjecture.

When they entered the room, neither Salas nor Peter spoke. They didn't dare to relax a little until Salas cleaned up the surveillance in the room.

The two of them looked at each other, and Salas removed the disguise from Peter's eyes, watched the brown eyes return to normal, and then chuckled.

This is their plan, pretending to be Peter and being influenced by the Lazarus Pool, becoming a lunatic villain like them, and then entering Lei Xiaoaogu's sight in a fair manner.

This plan is bold and risky, which is the style of Salas, but it is Peter who proposes it.

When Peter proposed this plan, Salas was a little hesitant. Lei Xiaoaogu was a shrewd old fox, and he was afraid that Peter would show his tracks in front of Lei Xiaoaogu and encounter danger.

But in the end Peter decided on the final plan, after all, this is the best choice at this time.

However, Peter was still a little worried about Salas's several teasing operations during the process: "You have been monitored by Lei Xiaoaogu like this, won't he suspect something because of it?"

Not only was he off the surveillance, but also the few times he said to Lei Xiaoaogu in his words just now, he was very stepping on the blade.

"I will doubt it until I take it off." Salas said with a smile, "You don't know the villain, you don't know us, we will never put any information about ourselves under the eyes of others. Is it premeditated, after all we have our pride. So the more I am like this, the more Lei Xiaoaogu feels that everything is in his expectation, on the contrary, he will not think that there is a problem with me."

Peter seemed to understand something.

"You said before that I was too naive and put my weaknesses in front of you, so now you are putting your weaknesses in front of me." Peter said suddenly.

He raised his head and looked at Salas with a smile, as if he had teased him so maliciously before laughing at Salas, but now he was making the same mistake.

Salas was at a loss for words for a moment, and at this moment he didn't know how to answer Peter's words.

Fortunately, Peter is not as bad-hearted as he is. If he was in this situation, he would never let the other party go so easily. And Peter really deserves to be a kind person. He saw that Salas couldn't answer, so he just held his hand. The mouth smiled, and then gave him a step: "However, I suddenly thought of one thing just now. Is Lei Xiao Aogu's attitude towards you a little too tolerant?"

Salas nodded, he also had the same feeling in his heart.

Lei Xiaoaogu talked about letting Salas join him, but never told Salas what he wanted Salas to do for him.

Salas thought before that Lei Xiaoaogu might let him kill one or two people, and he also thought about what he should do at that moment. After all, even if he didn't care about other people's lives, Peter would not want him to kill them. who.

But the final result was that Lei Xiao Aogu accepted him easily, without even asking him what happened in the pool of Lazarus.

This is not only Peter, even Salas himself is surprised.

Don't say that feelings are useless, for villains like them, the exchange of interests is the best relationship.

"You don't need to think about it for the time being." Salas said to Peter, "No matter what Lei Xiaoaogu wants to do, I will know when he does it."

"It's us." Peter emphasized.

"No, I want to send you back first." Salas said, "The next thing, I think I need to do it alone."

Peter looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and then opened his mouth: "Saras, even if you failed to bring me out from under the black mud, it's not your fault that I'm crazy."

"Why do you suddenly think about this question?" Salas forced a smile, and then asked.

"Because I think you have a little PTSD." Peter said, "There is something wrong with what Lei Xiaoaogu said just now, not everyone will accept the crazy me, at least I know that when that time comes, Tony and the others will not abandon me , those who abandon us, as long as there is one person who will not abandon us, we will never reach that point."

The smile on Salas' face faded a little, and he realized that Peter might have noticed something.

Peter Parker was a little too keen, obviously he just said a simple sentence to send him back, but he could detect his hidden fear from under his words.

but……

"You're wrong Peter." Salas said with a smile, "I'm not afraid of this. I know that Stark will not abandon you, and those Avengers...Of course I don't hate the Batman, after all Everyone has a different style of doing things, so I know, Bruce can't do it. I just... you know, Lei Xiaoaogu said, I will pick you up when you are broken and no one wants it. At that time I really thought about this matter, do you understand? You will never imagine how evil I can be, and you will never know how much perseverance it took me to restrain those evil thoughts and put them into practice. Sometimes I feel that what Lei Xiaoaogu said is true, I am not the son of Batman, I am the pool of Lazarus, or the bottom of the pool of Lazarus...so I don’t think you are with me It's a good thing."

"But... doesn't the spider silk exist to hold you?" Peter said, "I can't imagine how evil you are, but I know how uncomfortable you are. I'm here, and I won't leave, and I won't Give up on you, so Salas don't give up on yourself, if you want to hear this sentence, no matter how many times I will tell you, Salas, I am your spider thread, I promise you, it will not change."

Peter told him over and over, but Peter knew Salas could never really believe it.

I'm afraid Salas himself didn't realize it. This is his nature. It's the paranoia buried in Salas' bones. No matter how many times Peter made promises, he would keep probing and denying them, even if he knew According to Peter's personality, as long as Peter agrees, Peter will not go back on his word. Salas will still instinctively deny everything, and then try again and again.

Peter didn't feel angry, on the contrary he felt very sad.

He couldn't imagine what it would be like to always doubt, never be able to truly believe...or, to put it another way, what it would be like to always only believe in those bad things, but not be able to believe that good things would appear around him.

He also couldn't imagine how painful it would be for a person to live with such a nature.

He didn't even know how long he could appease Salas' suspicious heart by making the promise at this moment.

So he could only tell Salas repeatedly that he would not leave, and then accept Salas' almost pathological questions and temptations.

Even next time, Salas would instinctively question Peter like this.

This is the path Peter chose, and he doesn't regret it at all, he just feels distressed.

Salas realized something from Peter's reaction, but he didn't want to think about it, Peter's words made him calm down.

This person is his now and is always by his side, which makes him feel very happy.

Peter quickly changed the subject, and he said to Salas: "What should we do next? In this situation, although Lei Xiaoaogu will not doubt us for the time being, we are also trapped here."

They didn't dare to move easily, because Lei Xiaoaogu had something in his hand that seemed to be able to kill Salas, and that thing pointed directly at the origin of Salas, and it was useful to any of his bodies, even if he was only wearing a suit. "Clothes", he could clearly feel the threat.

In this case, the more he uses his body, the greater the danger.

But the situation of the League of Assassins is more complicated. There are quite a few assassins in it. If Salas only uses one body, it is absolutely impossible to leave here.

In fact, asking for help at this time is a good way, but although Salas' body will be released with his consciousness, such release is not unlimited, and can only be around his main consciousness.

Before, he likes to put a few bodies around as spares, so that he can activate it at any time, but since the last restart of Chaldea, in order to prevent his identity from being discovered, his body will be recycled into Calde shortly after the consciousness disappears inside, so now there is no longer his body outside...

wrong.

"Did you know? In fact, I still have a body that has been falling outside, but he is too weak, so everyone can't remember him." Salas said with a smile.

He also has a body that is always out and never needs to return to Chaldea.

In the deepest part of the Batcave, in a firmly locked room, the young child opened his eyes.

He was placed on an iron bed, surrounded by various alarm devices, which could notify people outside as soon as he woke up, and could also restrict his personal freedom.

But he didn't have any restraints on him.

This kind of "kindness" did not cause any waves in his heart. On the contrary, he secretly wondered how long it would take for someone outside to knock on his door.

Thinking like this won't affect his movements, he subconsciously propped up his body, trying to get up from the bed.

As a result, as soon as he moved, he fell from the bed and fell to the ground.

How long has it been, how long has it been since I felt such weakness.

He didn't feel angry, and even felt a sense of nostalgia.

He never felt angry because of those legs, and never felt resentful because of the disability.

After all, he was never bad because of his legs.

Grabbing the edge of the bed, I wanted to get up from the ground with the strength of my hands, and then put myself on the bed again.

But since he hasn't used this body for too long, he feels very strenuous at this moment.

Just as he was struggling, the door suddenly opened.

"I often think about which one of you I see is the real you." The person who came came calmed down his over-excited heartbeat because of his haste, and said, "Is it the super villain who is showing off his power in front of me, or this one?" The one who can't even climb in front of me... my son."

"Maybe both." He said lightly, "I thought you would be willing to give me a hand, after all, I can't even crawl now, can I, Bruce?"
