Lady's Melaleuca Vest [Comprehensive British and American]

It's not that Yuanchun didn't think that Black Mask might make a move to directly attack the Iceberg Club when he was cornered.

Anyway, Gotham｜Black｜gangs are already an old tradition. Not long ago, in order to force Red Hood to show up, Black Mask and Penguin did similar things. The forces were beaten to the brink of death, and in the end Jason and Yuanchun killed the Penguin, which reversed the situation.

But the field belongs to the field, the headquarters belongs to the headquarters, and the plan to go directly to steal the house will only be considered after the situation is bad enough to a certain extent.

The development to this point means that there is no possibility of reconciliation between the two forces at all, and the ending will never end.

Although there is no possibility of reconciliation between the black mask and the red hood - every time Jason gets emotional, he can't wait to wipe out this group of extrajudicial lunatics and fill them directly into Gotham Bay and pour them into concrete piles. His attitude is very clear —but things were moving too fast.

Could it be that Jason did something during the night patrol to intensify the already acute conflict again, causing Black Mask to be unbearable and finally decide to go to war?

Yuanchun can only guess. She never interferes with Jason's specific actions. She doesn't know what he does every night when he rides a small motorcycle to the night patrol. In the back, lending a hand when Jason fights and needs backup.

If this was Jason's plan before he lost his memory...wait!

Yuanchun's eyes flickered slightly, and she suddenly realized that there was a deviation in the plan, and this deviation was caused by her existence.

If Jason hadn't lost his memory, hadn't met her, and hadn't teamed up with her to search for memories.

The development of the situation should be like this-Jason deliberately provoked, Gotham gangsters fought, the two sides tossed back and forth a few times, the field that Jason was covering was smashed, and Jason went directly to the black mask for revenge and almost beat him up Death, the black mask is determined to kill Jason and look for foreign aid. In the end, Jason's plan succeeds and he catches the target he really wants.

Jason on this path didn't get the Iceberg Club, he didn't have very close comrades-in-arms, only subordinates bound by interests and threats, so no one would know more about him, and it was difficult to find out where he lived.

Jason's whereabouts are a mystery, and Black Mask can't find him, so naturally he can't counterattack and attack his headquarters.

So, the Iceberg Club was attacked, and innocent girls may have been taken hostage... I have nothing to do with it.

Yuanchun's face remained unchanged, he was still watching the live broadcast lazily, with his arm tightly around Bruce, preventing any possibility of him sneaking away.

But there was a gust of wind in her heart, the wind roared, and the wind was wrapped in finely divided ice stubble, freezing everything in its path.

"Cannon | It's been almost 5 minutes. It's really a big deal, but unfortunately it has no effect at all. It seems that Chaldea is even better." The anchor's processed electronic sound brought a hint of excitement, "Does anyone know if this is technology or magic? ?"

Someone speculated in the scrolling barrage below: [It should be magic. If it is an energy shield like Wakanda, it will be visible to the naked eye when hit. 】

Another account retorted: [I've seen Doctor Strange's magic, it's gaudy, but it looks good! 】

The two accounts got into an argument.

"Let's guess how long the Iceberg Club can last." The anchor zoomed in on the camera again, "Are they planning to keep carrying it like this and not do anything?"

It has already started.Yuanchun raised the corners of her mouth and showed a faint smile. Her eyes fell on the highest roof of the Bingshan Club in the picture.

Eyes closed and opened, the main perspective switched, and the surrounding scene instantly changed from a bustling banquet to a sweltering outdoor.

The shelling stopped for a while, and the faint sound of arguing was brought over by the hot night wind. It seemed that there was a disagreement.

The shadow of Arjuna, who was taken over by Yuanchun, floated in mid-air, condescendingly watching the thugs blocked by the defense system outside the safety line, he turned his palm over expressionlessly, and held a handful of silver-white , longbow with bluish strings.

Draw the arrow, draw the bow, draw the string... aim.

The violent magic release lifted his flowing clothes, condensing into several blue energy balls and surrounding them.

The light flowing on the arrow became more and more dazzling. When the light reached its limit, Arjuna let go of his hand, and the arrow, wrapped in thunderous power, passed through the defensive barrier of the Iceberg Club, and together with the energy ball, it suddenly appeared outside the barrier. Like a blazing sun, it overwhelmed the cold moonlight and illuminated the night like day!

"What the hell is going on?!" Amidst the horrified screams of the anchor, the live broadcast went blank for a full 30 seconds before the intense light slowly faded away.

There was silence in the live broadcast room, and the area around the bar also fell silent at some point.

The people who secretly watched the live broadcast were more or less strongly shocked. They didn't know what to say at all, and there was a little panic in their eyes looking at Yuanchun.

Only then did they realize why this charming girl said lightly, "It's just a small trouble, don't disturb everyone's interest."

Because really... don't care.

Bruce's straight back froze slightly, his eyes moved away from the screen, and slowly turned to Yuanchun.

"He's a little irritable today," Yuanchun chuckled, and finally let go of Bruce's hand, she guessed casually, "Is it because the master is angry?"

The light in the picture dissipated, and the situation outside the Iceberg Club changed a lot.

Arjuna fired an arrow｜shot｜exploded｜force｜hit｜cannon, the strong shock wave and flying fragments knocked down everyone around, and the ground was covered with bloody thugs. On the verge of death, he rolled all over the ground lightly, and the sound of howling one after another echoed in the deep night sky.

"...Who is that?" Louise asked softly, while giving Bruce a wink.

Yuanchun: "Arjuna."

From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Bruce standing up quietly, and she looked back flatly, not paying much attention.

What I want to do has been done, and when Bruce changes into Batman and rushes over, everything that should be over is over——

"Hahaha..." Crazy laughter sounded, and the sound became louder and louder, gradually overpowering the crying.

The door of a car parked at the edge of the screen was pulled open, someone got out of the car, and pulled out a young girl whose hands were bound and whose mouth was taped.

The man grabbed the girl roughly by the neck and dragged her all the way to the front with a strong attitude. He shouted at the seemingly empty Iceberg Club: "You are nothing more than that! I'm still alive, why don't you continue? "

After all, the anchor is still some distance away from the scene. No matter how advanced the equipment is, it is difficult to capture the girl's appearance clearly due to the influence of the gradually increasing magic power.But Arjuna, who stands on the roof of the Iceberg Club, is an Archer with C-level clairvoyance. With his perspective, Yuanchun is sure that the kidnapped girl is an employee of the Iceberg Club. Jason said that he went back to school to complete the graduation procedures. that.

It seems to be called...Alice?It's a nice name with a fairytale style.

Yuanchun thought calmly.

She has an impression of Alice, not just because of her good memory, but also because Alice is a little special compared to other employees.

Alice is not a native of Gotham. She was admitted to Gotham University before coming to live in this city.When she was in her sophomore year, her parents died in a car accident, and only her dependent grandma was stimulated and seriously ill. In order to treat her, she began to work around. She was almost tricked into prostitution many times. Ye Yi saved her, and has since become Ye Yi's die-hard fan.

The other girls in the club took good care of Alice, and they always protected her when the Penguin was still around, and she never had her turn in the more dangerous places.They feel that Alice is the only one who is pure, and if she can live a good life in this city, it means that other people's lives also have hope for a better life.

Before Yuan Jun took over the Iceberg Club, Alice's grandmother passed away, and she finally decided to stay in Gotham after graduation.Although there are various problems in this city, in Alice's eyes, most of the people she meets are good people.

Now, at last, the city's greatest malice had come upon her.

The man tore off the tape from Alice's mouth, blocked her in front of him, and strangled her neck tightly with his arms.

Alice tried to raise her head, and opened her mouth wide to breathe rapidly.

"Scream, didn't you scream very badly when I caught you before? Why don't you resist now?" The man grabbed Alice's hair and pulled it back vigorously, "Cry louder! Let your boss listen, see See if she cares about your life?"

"She was not merciless at all just now, and she doesn't know how many brothers I have died..."

"But it doesn't matter, hahaha, as long as I can see her..."

The man's expression was sometimes excited and sometimes in a trance, and there was obvious madness in his eyes, and his mental state was very strange at first glance.Alice was trembling with fear, but apart from moaning softly from the pain of the wound, she endured it tenaciously without making a single unnecessary sound.

"Why don't you scream!" the man said angrily, he took out a knife, and the tip of the knife pressed against Alice's smooth and tender cheek threateningly, "If you don't speak again, I'll scratch your face!"

After intimidating Alice, the man looked in the direction of the Iceberg Club again, and he shouted: "Did you see it? Don't come out again! I'll kill her!"

"Or you guys can keep going! Just like before, BOOM!"

"The sun, the dazzling sun, ha ha ha ha!"

Inside the Black Mask's office.

The man's crazy smiling face was projected on the big screen, and his presumptuous and provocative voice kept echoing.

"Idiot! Idiot!" Black Mask was so angry that he clenched his fists and slammed it on the desk. "Who told Philip to go to the Iceberg Club to find something?!"

The secretary's sister pushed her glasses calmly, and answered the furious boss's question: "I asked before, and Philip said that you gave him the order."

"I didn't make him crazy!" Black Mask roared loudly, "He's obviously on a high with his current behavior! Or he was poisoned by the scarecrow!"

The secretary's sister spread her hands and shrugged her shoulders, "But the surveillance shows that it was indeed you who called him in this office."

"At that time! I was in a restaurant! Talk to the Mexicans! Talk about getting rid of the red hood!" The black mask smashed the chair on the desk, smashing the chair and the table together, and then he held half of the chair leg with one hand , walked towards the secretary sister aggressively, "And you! Right next to me! Have you lost your mind or lost your memory?!"

The secretary's sister leaned back slightly, avoiding the flailing chair legs, "I mean, someone sneaked into this office, pretending to be you and issuing false orders, causing an irreversible situation..."

The bodyguards behind the secretary's sister collectively showed pained expressions.

elder sister!Please stop talking about my sister!Look at the face of the boss, it's already too dark!

Every time the boss gets angry, we are the ones who are unlucky!Sister, you have pity on us!

"Of course I know!" the black mask roared ferociously, "The question is who dares to impersonate me!"

"And you!" He turned around suddenly, kicked the nearest bodyguard away, then turned around, swung the leg of the chair round the face of the second bodyguard, and knocked him unconscious, "Who are you?" Trash? Can’t even see an office? My money wasted! Wasted! Trash! Trash!”

Black Mask mistook the chair leg for a baseball bat and swung it wildly, smashing everything he could.

The tidy office soon became a mess like a typhoon passing through.

"I'm going to set off now to stop him," said the secretary's sister.

"It's too late," the black mask finally stopped and threw the chair legs to the ground. He panted heavily and loosened his tie. "Did you see that arrow just now? That was a signal. I won't kill you next time." Red Hood, it's he who came to kill me, we have to use more dangerous power."

The secretary's sister raised her eyebrows, "What do you want to do?"

"Find someone who can deal with him," Black Mask sneered, "In Gotham, there will always be a scariest shadow entrenched in people's nightmares."

"Also!" Black Mask remembered something, and became angry again, "Find out who is impersonating me!"

If this problem is not resolved, there is no guarantee that there will be impersonation incidents in the future. Even if he has a hundred mouths, he still can't tell.

Bruce stood up and planned to slip away, but the situation suddenly changed, and he stood and observed for a while.

He has an impression of the person holding Alice hostage. His name is Philip White. He is a small boss of the military | fire | business under Black Mask. He has a ruthless personality and cruel methods. The problematic contract lures simple college students into borrowing｜loans, and the high｜｜｜｜｜｜ｏａａａａａａａａｔ of the interest. He offered to let the other party repay the debt with his body, but in the end he brutally raped｜killed him.

In this case, due to insufficient evidence, a large number of clues were destroyed, coupled with the pressure of various capitals, there were many dark scenes, and Philip White was finally released on the spot in court.Commissioner Gordon was sick with rage for a week, visibly emaciated.

This kind of person... this kind of person...

Bruce closed his eyes, clenched his hand hanging by his side into a fist, then slowly relaxed, letting out a breath.

"Philip White? Isn't he in a good state?" Louise frowned tightly. As a gold medal reporter of "Planet Daily", she knows all kinds of valuable news in the industry like the back of her hand, so she has naturally heard of this notorious person. Slag, "I remember he didn't have this kind of personality before?"

Receiving Louise's questioning look, Bruce shook his head slightly.

Philip White is a very calm man, and he does everything without leaking, which is a headache for the police.If he had such a crazy personality, Director Gordon would have seized the evidence and sent him to Black Gate Prison for life imprisonment.

"You know him?" Yuanchun asked Louise curiously.

"I've heard about what he did." Louise showed undisguised disgust, "Speaking of..., I think it's better for a person like him to die."

After listening to Louise's simple narration, Yuanchun's face became colder than the perennial snow on the snow mountain.She said softly: "You are right, I think so too."

Yuanchun turned his head, Bruce's figure had disappeared. I don't know if he heard the last discussion of the two ladies.

Also in the Diamond District, the location of the charity banquet was not far from the Iceberg Club. Jason rushed to the scene not long after Genjun finished shooting arrows with Arjuna.

He went back home through the back door in a circle, changed into the equipment of the red hood, and went to find Cu Chulainn who was sitting in the lobby on the first floor.

Yuanchun, who was wearing a Cu Chulainn shell, moved the most luxurious chair in the store, and placed it directly opposite the door. He sat comfortably with his legs crossed, and Gayeborg was placed across his lap, with one hand resting on his side The face, eyes closed, seemed to be in deep sleep.

Hearing Jason's approaching footsteps, he slowly opened his eyes, "Are you back?"

"Hurry up and save someone," Jason said with a serious expression, "There is something wrong with that person, and I don't know what he will do next."

"Hassans have already gone." Cu Chulainn stretched himself, picked up the gun and carried it on his shoulder, "Let's go, let's attract his attention."

With Jason in front and Cu Chulainn in the back, the two walked out of the Iceberg Club and came to the open space in front of the door.

Seeing the red hood, obvious disappointment flashed in Philip's eyes, and he turned his gaze to Cu Chulainn, "Where is she?!"

"You came to see me?" Cu Chulainn asked casually.

"Where is the person? Your master! Let her out!" Philip became more and more agitated, and the arm around Alice's neck suddenly tightened, "Kill her, kill me, hahahaha!"

Alice looked at Cu Chulainn tearfully, her eyes full of pleading.

Cu Chulainn smiled reassuringly, and made a mouth gesture.

What he said was "don't be afraid, close your eyes".

Alice's eyes widened slightly, and then they were tightly closed. Tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, along her round face, and flowed to the tip of her chin, hanging there precariously.

Philip's voice suddenly rose, from a laugh to a howl of pain.

A cold light flashed in the darkness, and Hassan, a hundred-faced man wearing a black cloak and bone mask, appeared like a ghost. The knife in his hand swung up and down, cutting off Philip's arms neatly.

The other Hassan cut off the rope that bound Alice, picked her up and retreated to the location of the Iceberg Club.

The trembling tears were thrown away during the high-speed movement, and finally fell down, dripping on the skirt of Alice's chest, and a moist flower bloomed.

She put her arms around Hassan's neck and cried loudly, saying thank you over and over again.

Seeing that the hostages had been successfully rescued, Jason didn't hesitate any longer, opened the safety of the gun, and pointed the black barrel of the gun at Philip who fell to the ground, struggling and crying.

A hand reached over and pressed the barrel of the gun. Jason turned his head and looked deeply at Cu Chulainn.

"Hush, wait a minute," Cu Chulainn said softly.

"I am the bone of the sword I hold, this body is made of the sword..."

The chants sounded, and the figure of Hong A appeared on the roof at some time, with a solemn expression and a murderous voice in his voice.

"...Across countless battlefields without defeat—"

The sound of the wind stopped, the air melted into a blurred boundary, centered on the red A, the mind-like landscape suddenly unfolded, including all the selected people.

Jason slightly opened his eyes——

A huge round hole hangs in the dim yellow sky. The smudged color gradually deepens from the outside to the inside. In the middle is a bottomless black abyss. Just looking at it will cause extreme fear, and there is a feeling of imminent danger. The creepy feeling of being inhaled and broken into powder.

Just below the hollow was a giant tree that was on the verge of withering.

The land around the tree is planted with dense weapons, extending from a distance.

Philip White lay curled up on the ground with a dull expression, his eyes blank, staring straight at the sky.

The whole world is barren and lonely, and there is no trace of life.

"Where is...?" Jason felt inexplicably being spied on.

"Red A's Noble Phantasm, Infinity Sword System, is a never-ending wilderness after unfolding." Cu Chulainn explained, "Depending on the user, the mental landscape presented by the Infinity Sword System also has certain differences, because it is me I am using the red A card, so this is actually my mental image..."

Gazing at the abyss in the sky, Cu Chulainn's voice revealed a bit of confusion: "Strange, what is that..."

The feeling of being stared at became more and more intense, Jason stood in front of Cu Chulainn, "Don't look, what were you going to do?"

"Oh, it's like this. Unlimited Sword System is an inherent enchantment. Opening it is equivalent to opening a different small world. Strictly speaking, we are no longer on the land of Gotham at this moment, so..."

Cu Chulainn weighed the Gayaberg in his hand, lifted it high, and threw it forward.

The red light flashed "swish", Karma | The gun pronounced Philip's death in advance, locked his heart, pierced through his chest, and firmly nailed his body to the ground.

Jason was taken aback for a moment, then looked back at Cu Chulainn: "You..."

Cu Chulainn grinned, revealing a sinister smirk, "What?"

"It's nothing," Jason put away his gun, "I thought you..."

Thought you would object.

"I'll come next time." He emphasized, "I can do this kind of thing—"

"Oh, stop talking nonsense, let's go, let's go," Cu Chulainn clapped his hands, and Gayabog turned into spirit particles and dissipated.He stretched his arms around Jason's neck, "If you don't leave, Batman will come, we have to find a way to fool him away..."

Jason frowned instantly, "Don't get so close to me with this face!"

Seeing Red A unfolding the infinite sword system, Yuanchun looked away from the screen, let out a breath, and said briskly, "It's over."

Louise looked at Yuanchun with a complicated expression. She suspected that there was a special way of contact between these "gods" in Chaldea, which could enable them to share information in real time, and felt that what she just said made Yuanchun finally make up her mind , conveyed the meaning of "killing" to the companion.

"No." As if seeing Louise's thoughts, Yuan Jun shook his head with a smile, "We have no right to interfere with the master's thoughts, and we cannot change them, and she probably learned that Alice was After being captured, it has already been decided what to do."

"If she knew what else he did before, it would be even worse for him."

"The last thing Philip White should do is lay hands on innocent people."

"The master has always believed that ordinary people are very weak. Their lives are incredibly fragile. If they are not careful, they will be injured. After being injured, it is difficult to treat them, and they are very easy to die... so they must be well protected."

As far as this concept is concerned, Louise thinks that Chaldea's master is still very good.She asked tentatively, "So the purpose of your actions is to protect ordinary people?"

Yuanchun put away the phone, "Is this the second question?"

Louise nodded, "Yes."

"You can understand it this way." Yuanchun replied, "There is one last question, do you want to ask it now, or save it?"

Louise asked sharply, "Are you leaving?"

"Although the problem has been solved, Philip's death is just the beginning." Yuan Chun's expression showed a trace of solemnity, "You must have seen that his mental state before he died was very wrong, including his behavior of provoking us."

Although Philip White is Black Mask's subordinate, Black Mask should not be so demented as to send such a lunatic directly to the door, and what he is looking for is not Red Hood, but someone who has not been taken seriously by Black Mask. Chaldea and its leader, Yuanchun has reason to believe that he may have been confused by some kind of power and controlled to do crazy things.

And there is only one mysterious force and organization against Yuanchun, and that is FOG.

Thinking about it carefully, when the self-disciplined puppet organized by FOG attacked Genjun, it was also hidden in the mercenary team sent by Black Mask to kill Red Hood.

"Can you please pay the reward in advance? I want to know the beginning of the story now." Yuanchun asked earnestly.She took out a beautifully drawn invitation card from her handbag and handed it to Louise, "The Iceberg Club will reopen soon, and you are invited to attend the opening ceremony. I will save the last question for you."

"Of course." Louise accepted the invitation. She had planned to go to the New Iceberg Club for an interview. In the world, as a test of humanity, He made a promise: As long as you offer enough sacrifices, you can get everything you want.

"The first witch who picked up the necklace observed it and thought it was full of evil. She threw the necklace into the river, hoping that the rushing water would take away the terrible thing. But the necklace polluted the river, and the people in the whole village So they went mad and killed each other, and the blood stained the river red and made the gems more beautiful."

Hearing this, Yuanchun's heart skipped a beat.

What a familiar ending.

"The necklace was picked up by the security officer and brought back as evidence. But not long after, the necklace mysteriously disappeared." Louise continued, "It reappeared at an auction more than ten years later. The auctioneer told its story, saying that its previous owner was a certain Marquise, who was old and decrepit, unloved by her husband, and neglected at home. The Marquis was very angry and spent a lot of money｜Raised a handsome and sweet-mouthed The young men provided her with entertainment, and one of them presented her with a ruby ​​necklace. Every day after getting the necklace, the Marchioness's appearance became younger. She was ecstatic and regarded it as a treasure. She wore it all day long, and soon Rediscover the beauty of the past.

"The Marquis who saw his wife again turned pale with fright. Knowing the cause and effect, he thought it was evil and had to be destroyed. The Marquis changed her face in an instant, took out a knife from her sleeve, and stabbed her husband to death neatly, then teamed up with a lover to fake the scene. Create the illusion that the Marquis is away on business.

"The Marquise and her lover lived happily in the castle. When the illegitimate son of the Marquis felt something was wrong and brought someone to the door, the lover had disappeared, and the Marquise brutally killed countless servants. She soaked the ruby ​​necklace in In the golden bowl filled with blood, he smiled and said to the visitors, "You are all my sacrifices to that lord."

"The next thing was the Countess took the necklace. She believed that the necklace could bring her back to her youth." Louise sighed helplessly.

"I've heard the story behind, thank you." Yuan Chun shook Louise's hand sincerely, a mocking smile flashed in her honey-colored pupils, and she said with emotion, "This is a meeting A jewel that brings bad luck."

Louise bid farewell to Yuanjun, "It seems that you don't believe the rumors."

Yuanchun said seriously: "No, I really believe it."

It is because of the belief that the bad luck is caused by gems, not some human nature that cannot pass the test.
