Lady's Melaleuca Vest [Comprehensive British and American]

After alienating Cathy, Lucia parted ways with the man in black according to the original plan, and returned to the Aslan Hotel.

Compared to the man in black who messed up the task and was in a state of distress, Lucia felt as comfortable as she was on vacation. She took a comfortable bath first, then ordered her subordinates to bring a bottle of red wine, and faced the huge floor-to-ceiling glass windows in the living room , while appreciating the gradually falling night of Gotham City, while savoring it slowly.

At the beginning of the Chinese lanterns, the whole city is lit up with bright lights.

The subordinate stared at Lucia's back in the darkness, and gradually lost his composure, "Ma'am——"

"Shut up," Lucia said sharply, "I don't want to hear it."

"...If something happens to Mr. Green, I'm afraid you are also to blame." The subordinate took a deep breath and finished what he wanted to say.

This was specially explained by the man in black before he left. If he still doesn't come back after dark, no matter what, he must persuade Lucia to help.

Although the faction of the men in black has always been very contemptuous towards Lucia, the value of her existence is unquestionable until that Highness really returns.

In order to make up for the more and more serious mistakes that snowballed, the man in black decided to put all his eggs in one basket. By then, the area he was in would be completely sealed. Except for the high priest of the temple, only the special Lucia could break the shackles. Go in and catch people.

Lucia paused when she shook the wine glass, and at the same time turned her head slowly.There was a circle of neon lights outside the window, and the lights and shadows were flickering. Her expression was half a smile, "Oh?"

The subordinate met Lucia's eyes, and suddenly felt a burst of unreasonable fear that pierced deep into the bone marrow.It was obviously the same face, but the soul under the skin had a completely different aura, as if it had been infested by demons.

He shivered, took half a step back, and almost couldn't help turning around and running.

"He told you to say that, right?" Lucia put down her wine glass, resting her chin on one hand, her voice was clear, "He has been... stupid for more than ten years."

Not an illusion!Fear seized the subordinate's heart. Just now, there was still a trace of luck in his heart, but at this moment, all doubts disappeared without a trace.

The crimson color surged up like a rising tide, and Lucia's emerald green eyes were instantly soaked and turned into a bloodthirsty red.

With a muffled "Plop", the subordinate's knees softened and he knelt directly on the thick carpet.

"If you mess up the task like this, don't even think about getting out of it." Lucia stretched her arms and stretched her waist in a relaxed way.She compared a square frame with her fingers, looked out of the glass window through the frame, and smiled happily, "Now that things have happened, the number of dead people can't be counted anyway..."

The subordinate trembled violently.

"Since the quantity can't make up, we can only make up for it by quality." Lucia pretended to regret, "Carlos Green, who was favored by God, his life alone is worth tens of millions of sacrifices. "

"It was stolen in the first place, and I should be content with living for four more years."

Lucia snapped her fingers, and a wisp of blue mist emerged from her fingertips, fluttering, and slipped out of the window.

Jason thought that being involved in the TV was just another way to play Yuanchun's memories, and just as he was guessing what kind of picture he would see this time, his expression suddenly changed.

The surrounding environment seemed to be no different from the flat and open space outside the TV, but all the senses in Jason's body were screaming and telling him the word "danger".

The humid air was filled with tiny electric currents, accompanied by the sound of electric leakage, and tiny lights flashed from time to time.

I felt dizzy and dizzy, my chest felt tight, and my limbs were sore and weak.

It's a bit like the feeling in the star orphanage before, but more serious than that.

Did I fall into a power plant?Or did Electro escape from New York to Gotham?Jason pressed his temples and shook his head vigorously, trying to dispel the oppressive feeling covering his whole body.

With a soft "hum", the rune stone stuffed in the pocket lit up with a gentle light, and opened a thin protective cover.

A ball of light also appeared not far ahead. Jason took a closer look and found that it was Batman.He held the rune stone tightly with his hands, said "thank you" silently in his heart, and quickly moved towards the direction where Batman was.

"Are you okay?" Jason glanced briefly at the man, but found no obvious abnormalities on him.

Batman shook his head, his strong muscles wrapped under the combat uniform tensed up, and he quickly entered the state of preparation. He said in a deep voice, "Be careful, something is wrong here."

Of course it wasn't right, but being sucked into the TV was outrageous enough, and Jason didn't think it was that hard to accept that anything happened after that.

Batman turned on the flashlight to the maximum, and the dazzling beam of light pierced the darkness like a sword, illuminating the surrounding boundaries.They seemed to have returned to the previous tunnel, and it was the state before the dark river water spread.

Large and small rubble were scattered on the ground irregularly, and the walls on both sides were covered with deep, criss-crossing scratches. Jason squinted his eyes and observed for a moment, and recognized the marks cut by sharp knives.

It seemed that there had been a fierce battle here. The two sides used ancient weapons such as knives or swords.

"It's pretty solid." Jason commented approvingly.The fact that the tunnel remained in its original state without collapsing after being cut open and closed is enough to prove that the engineering team really built it seriously, instead of taking money and doing nothing to fool around.

Or it may have collapsed, and everything I see so far is reconstructed from Fog and Yuanchun's memory... Thinking of this, Jason raised his hand and touched the knife mark tentatively.

The icy metal texture flashed past, and a majestic murderous tsunami rushed towards his face.

"Hiss!" Jason took a breath and quickly withdrew his hand.

Batman looked over alertly.

"Don't touch the wall." There were bursts of piercing pain from his fingertips. Jason stuffed his fingers into his mouth and sucked away the blood that kept coming out. "There is residual power in the traces."

Although Jason only touched the tip of the iceberg, it is not difficult to feel from this tip how powerful the people who made these marks are.

Batman nodded and moved on.

Jason didn't express any dissatisfaction, and followed closely.

The runestones can still protect them now, but no one is sure how long a stone can last in such an environment of surging currents. It is likely that the stone will be exhausted before finding shelter, and by then they will have no choice. Do not face the harsh environment.

But so what?Staying in place is the most passive choice, neither Jason nor Batman will resign themselves to fate.

The blessing of the goddess of fortune seemed to come quietly. After 15 minutes, a warm light appeared ahead, and the two were about to reach the end of the tunnel.

It might be exciting to switch to other people, but Batman and Jason, who have experienced many battles, know very well that this is the most dangerous time. They don't have the slightest reliable guess about what they will see next, and they can only concentrate on it. Approach cautiously.

Covered by some relatively large rocks, Batman and Jason flashed to the exit silently.

The front suddenly opened up, and the destination leading to the tunnel turned out to be a huge void——

The dark gray rock walls around the cave are covered with traces of man-made excavation. The place where the top connects to the ceiling is densely inlaid with a whole circle of night pearls. It became a shining star map.

A suspended slanting downward staircase connects the tunnel with the wide platform in front of the opposite rock wall. On both sides of the staircase are bottomless cliffs. The cold wind howls up from the bottom of the cliff, and some of them whirl past. There was an uncomfortable smell at the entrance of the tunnel.

The platform was built in the shape of an altar, and a stone statue at least five stories high stood in the center.The stone statue is carved with a human figure wrapped in light gauze. The veil on its body is carved so vividly that even the soft flowing texture can be seen.Under this premise, if you look at the statue again, you will come to a very frightening conclusion—this statue has no legs or facial features, its lower body is supported by layers of veils, and its face is very flat. Can't see the slightest ups and downs.

"What is this?" Jason felt inexplicably uncomfortable. Human beings' fear of huge objects is really deep in their DNA.

Batman looked at Jason with a strange look, "You don't know?"

Something happened out of control, Jason frowned, and asked, "Should I know?"

"...you don't remember anything about her." Batman said in a positive tone.

Jason recognized that this "she" refers to Yuanchun.He was a little surprised that Batman knew Yuanchun, but then he thought about it, if he and Yuanchun had known each other since childhood, after he was adopted by Bruce, Yuanchun would probably follow him to Wayne's house.

They had lived together for many years, but he didn't remember any of it, and even thought he had regained all the memories he had lost due to Lazarus Pool.

How could I forget her?This question popped up in Jason's mind countless times.Did I not have an iota of doubt about removing a familiar person entirely from my life?

Actually there are.In the process of getting along with Yu Yuanchun, Jason's sense of déjà vu for various situations has become stronger and stronger, and the ghostly shadow hidden deep in his heart also pops up from time to time to remind him.

But he still felt sad, angry and irritable at the same time.

I should not forget her.

There was not much time left for Jason to be upset, and the ghostly voice suddenly resounded in the hollow: "It's finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

A figure in a black cloak came out from behind the stone statue. To be precise, it should be floating. The soft black gauze was scattered on the ground, and it swayed gracefully without wind. It was obvious that there were no legs underneath.

Batman was unmoved, and Jason was also very calm.This is not an aboveboard 1V1 turn-based game. In the enemy's territory, experienced fighters will not rush to the front when they are provoked.

"Hmph, a shrinking turtle." The cloaked man sneered and waved his hand.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The explosion sounded rapidly from far to near, continuously, and the tunnel behind him gradually collapsed, with broken stones splashing and dust flying.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the two had to leave the tunnel.Batman didn't want to follow the enemy's pace, chose to give up the hanging ladder, and used the hook gun to climb the rock wall, followed by Jason.But the moment they stepped on the rock wall, the collapse of the tunnel seemed to spread to the hollow, and the walls on all sides shook violently, and large and small stones fell from the top of their heads.

It is obviously very unsafe to stay on the stone wall at this time, and if you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss.There was really no way, so Batman and Jason had to fall on the hanging ladder.

The hanging ladder also began to collapse, unable to stay for long, the two dived all the way, and quickly ran to the only relatively safe central platform at the moment.

After the last flight of stairs collapsed, the shaking finally stopped.Jason stood firm on the edge of the platform and glanced at the abyss below, feeling terrified.

The ghost knows where the abyss leads, if you accidentally fall, you will definitely die without a whole body.

Except for the towering and weird statues, there are no obstacles that can be blocked.Batman watched the man in black warily, lest he suddenly explode into trouble.

When the two walked the hanging ladder, it was obviously a very good opportunity for a sneak attack, but the man in black didn't take the opportunity to attack.Giving up the initiative to attack does not mean that he is kind, it can only mean that he has left their lives for more important purposes.

"You released the monster." Batman said in an affirmative tone.

The man in black admitted without hesitation, "That's right."

If it weren't for Chaldea's action, the monsters would cause far more losses than they do now, especially when they rushed into the downtown area unscrupulously.

A large number of innocent people die in a short period of time, and the accumulated resentment will lead to the birth of a different dimension, which shows that the lives of people who died in vain are a very powerful force.

The organization of the men in black is collecting this power, as for what they plan to do after collecting it...

Considering the standing statue, Batman probably guessed the opponent's goal, which is nothing more than summoning the evil|god they believe in, destroying the world, etc., in short, it is difficult for normal people to understand.

Batman's voice was as cold as iron: "It was you four years ago."

Jason suddenly felt a headache. He pressed his temple, thinking what four years ago?

"It's God's gift that made you live for four more years," the man in black sneered, "but that's all."

The strong wind rising from the ground lifted the hood of the man in black, revealing a pale, bloodless face.This face is unexpectedly handsome, and even has a gentle tone that is very popular with little girls.

It's a pity that the man's frantic eyes ruined the overall temperament. He opened his arms, like a lunatic who lost his mind, and laughed loudly: "The fog swept from the abyss will crush all sinful souls. Lost people, kneel down and pray for forgiveness." !My lord will come from your burning embers and remake the world—”

The strong wind roared and swirled around the platform, forming a terrifying tornado that penetrated the sky and the earth, devouring everything around it greedily, the free oxygen in the air, the fishy mist rising from the abyss, the bright electric current jumping in the wind... ...everything is involved.

The space trembled again. This time, not only the altar, but the entire hollow could hardly withstand the pressure of the raging tornado, and there was a faint tendency to completely collapse.

This is the alien world created by Wu and Yuanchun's memories. After being destroyed from the inside, they may be able to return to reality.But the tornado will obviously not disappear because of the destruction of the pocket space, it will only lose its restraint and explode completely.

The entrance of this space is in Gotham's Crime Alley, which can't be seen on the surface, but it actually hides a lot of people, most of them are low-level people struggling to survive, as well as the forces of major gangs.

There are a lot of people, and once something happens, it is difficult for the people to be evacuated, and the police will not come too aggressively.

In short, the space must not be shattered and the tornado released.

Just as Jason's mind was running at high speed, thinking about how to interrupt the man in black's spellcasting, there was a very slight "click" in the howling wind, which could hardly be noticed just by listening to the sound.

Although the sound was soft, there were other phenomena that proved that the situation had indeed changed—the violently swirling wind stood still for a second strangely, and the flowing current covering the entire space exploded and quickly dissipated.

A warm and soft light poured down from the top of his head, and Yuan Chun, who was wearing a magic dress, fell down on the light, and mocked disdainfully: "You are such a big man, why are you still in the second grade?"

# # #

The process of Yuanchun and his party entering the alien domain was extremely smooth, and everyone was shocked by the smoothness.

Obviously, according to the setting of the pocket space, some conditions need to be met to enter the different world, either a special mark or a specific time, in short, it will not be easy to enter.

"You built this domain, right?" Arthur asked jokingly, looking at the tunnel shrouded in darkness.

Yuanchun supported the cold stone wall with one hand, felt a trace of damp water vapor, frowned and remained silent.

Seeing this, Arthur put away his smile, approached with concern and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's weird," Yuanchun said slowly, "I used to dislike the smell of restraint and didn't want to get close to it, but now..."

But now there is a strange sense of intimacy, as if there is some strange yet familiar existence deep in the tunnel calling her constantly.

"Go in and have a look." Yuanchun made a decision.

Arthur will not stop Yuanchun, as a qualified knight, he will only become a sharp sword in the master's hand, and cut through thorns and thorns for her.

Yuanchun put a layer of protection on Damian, then followed behind Arthur who opened the way, and gradually went deeper cautiously.

The fog, the river, and the weird TV that Jason and Batman encountered, Yuan Jun and others did not encounter them all. They kept walking in the tunnel, and the surrounding scenery seemed to have no change. The stone wall is not repeated, and Yuanchun suspects that they are going around in circles.

"Come in, but not completely in." Yuanchun touched the slippery wall and guessed, "There are probably several floors in this field. We only entered the first floor, and we can't get in from the back."

Now that people have been put in, what is the point of dawdling now?Why don't you just open the core directly!

Just when Yuanchun was thinking about whether he should take out the copy of the Bizarre Sword and try to hack it, the tunnel suddenly shook violently, looking like it was about to collapse.

"It's the inner layer." Arthur felt intently, "The layer we're on is still very solid."

But after fluctuations occurred in the inner layer, the outermost layer was also slightly affected, and phantoms appeared in the two spaces that were originally overlapping tightly.

Yuan Chun decisively took out the Deviant Sword, found the right opportunity, and tentatively stabbed the sword at the two space staggered positions.

I don't know if the space is too brittle, or the Deviation Sword is too powerful. Where the sword's edge passes, the invisible barrier is shattered. Not only is the shackles leading to the lower layer broken, but even the barrier that separates the outermost layer from reality is broken. Followed broken.

Arthur: "... poked it."

Yuanchun: "Oh, this is beyond my control."

It wasn't a big problem at first, it was just piercing through a different dimension with the Deviation Sword. According to the experience of the Star Welfare Institute, it is a good thing to destroy this kind of space, and I don't know how many innocent people will be harmed if I keep it.

But when the high-concentration magic power is squeezed and diffused from the shattered space, a good thing becomes a bad thing.

The magic power that is gathering must be stopped first!

The man in black's intermittent middle school declaration came from the crack. Genjun rolled his eyes and signaled Arthur to take Damian to a safe place first, and then lurked for support, waiting for the chance to kill with one blow.She herself put on a magic dress that could float in the air, and jumped directly from the crack.

# # #

Jason was very happy to see Yuanchun.

Yuanchun was also very happy, she waved her hands excitedly, and shouted: "Jason, I'm here to take you home!"

Damian, who was hiding in the dark and waiting for an opportunity, showed a disgusted expression, and the corner of Arthur's mouth twitched slightly.

Only the man in black was very unhappy. Seeing that the plan was about to succeed, Yuan Chun appeared to disrupt the situation again. The so-called incident was nothing more than three, even if he cared about Yuan Chun's identity, he didn't want to bear it now.

What's more, there was actually an enmity between the two, but Yuanchun didn't remember it.

The man in black raised his hand to grab it, and the tornado split into a smaller version, and it pierced towards Yuanchun like an awl.

Yuanchun quietly threw out the card, and a shadow appeared behind him. Galahad, the shadow follower with white hair and purple armor, hugged her waist with one hand, and led her to the ground firmly. Knock on the ground.

A part of the city wall of Camelot's chalk was unfolded, firmly blocking the tornado.When the two collided, a violent shock wave exploded, and the wind blown up by the violent magic power blew the fluffy man in black back staggeringly.Yuanchun, Jason and Batman were unscathed because of the protection of the city wall.

"What is that?" Yuan Chun's eyes passed through the translucent city wall and landed on the huge stone sculpture in the center of the altar.

Jason's face was a bit dark, he strode forward, pulled Yuanchun out of Galahad's arms like a carrot, and looked up and down her shoulders to check if she was injured.

After confirming that nothing happened, Jason breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his arms, and hugged Yuanchun forcefully into his arms.

Yuanchun: "...Huh?"

Yuan Chun was stunned for a moment, feeling that Jason might have been moved by her act of saving the beauty from the sky as a hero, and the depths of his heart suddenly softened into a mess.She patted Jason on the back reassuringly, and coaxed, "It's okay, I'm here to find you."

Jason realized that Yuanchun had misunderstood, but he didn't bother to explain, let her think this hug was touching.

The current situation is not convenient for information exchange, but even if the situation is suitable, Jason is still hesitating whether to tell Yuanchun directly, the two of them knew each other before.

Jason hasn't fully remembered yet, Yuanchun is even more ignorant about her past, but judging from her experience of being lost to another world, she must have had something serious happen in Gotham.

——Ordinary accidents cannot allow people to travel through.

In any case, he failed to protect her.

Yuanchun and Jason posted the stickers enthusiastically, and after they left, they suddenly noticed the statue in the center of the altar.

No way, that thing is too big, it's hard not to see it.

"What?" Yuanchun asked curiously, her eyes fell on the flat face of the statue covered by veil, "How ugly is this, so afraid to see people—"

A piercing pain rose from the depths of his mind, his heart beat faster and faster, as if it was about to burst out of his chest, and the blood in his whole body was rampant, trying to break free from the shackles of the blood vessels.Yuanchun took a deep breath, his fingers snapped together, and his nails left a pinch mark on his palm.

Jason hugged Yuanchun and asked eagerly, "What's wrong?"

The feeling of being called is getting stronger and stronger, from the soul to the body are all giving instructions to approach, only the will insists on staying in place.Yuanchun put his arm around Jason's neck, hugged him tightly, and pressed his whole body into his arms.She shook her head and said softly, "It's nothing..."

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it's okay!Jason frowned, and tightened the arms around Yuanchun's waist.

Since she wanted to hug, he could only hug him tighter.

Perhaps there really is a mysterious power in hugging. After nestling into Jason's arms, the terrifying and weird feeling of being attracted suddenly weakened a lot, and the pain also quickly subsided.

"I have to get out of here quickly." Yuan Chun collected his mind and slid down from Jason's arms, but he didn't dare to get too far away from him, and maintained a tight posture.

At this time, she didn't dare to try it casually. What if the symptoms were really relieved because of being close to Jason?

"Can you dispel the tornado?" Jason asked, "Can't let it into reality."

Yuanchun looked dignified, "It's already formed on this scale...it's a bit difficult."

The essence of this tornado is the magic power in the extracted alien space. Even if the summoner releases the control, it cannot dissipate peacefully. It will just bump around aimlessly until the kinetic energy is exhausted.

To solve this trouble, there are two options.First, the alien space is crumbling right now, and it will definitely not be able to withstand the collision between the tornado and other forces. The scale must be accurately grasped, so that the shock wave generated by the explosion will be consumed after breaking the space barrier; second, since it is magic, it can be absorbed , just absorb it before it is completely released.

"I choose two." Yuanchun raised his hand, sensing the trajectory of the magic flow in the air, trying to find the location of the eye of the wind.

The only part of the city wall of Camelot that was opened expanded again. Galahad held the shield, and the golden pupils shimmered.

"Be careful." Batman, who had been silent all this time, suddenly reminded.

After the man in black failed to attack Yuanchun with a cluster of tornadoes, he was silent. He hovered under the stone statue with his head down, not knowing what he was doing.With Galahad opening the shield, Arthur still turned into a spirit son and waited in the dark. Yuanchun didn't pay much attention to the actions of the man in black. She didn't take a look until she sensed Galahad's abnormal movement.

The man in black suddenly raised his head, a layer of pale haze appeared in his blue eyes, his expression was dull, the corners of his lips were slowly drawn up, his smile grew wider and wider, until the corners of his mouth even reached the roots of his ears.

This smile reminded Jason of a clown, and he couldn't help showing disgust.

The arms and torso of the man in black twisted strangely, like a marionette being dragged indiscriminately by an ignorant child, in various difficult postures that normal humans would never be able to.

"he he he he he……"

Intermittent "cracking" sounds were added to the creepy laughter, which was the sound of bones and joints being dislocated or even broken after being forcibly pulled.

"What's wrong?" Jason was alert.

"Be|manipulated|controlled," Yuanchun raised his eyebrows, "It seems that the real master has come."

"Your Highness... Your Majesty," the man in black said in a vague voice, as if the signal was unusual, "This... gift... are you... satisfied...?"

As soon as the words fell, the man in black suddenly raised his arm high, his five fingers shaped like claws, straightly｜inserting｜into his chest.

Yuanchun pulled Jason back when the man in black made a move. He didn't expect that the man in black's next move would be to commit suicide. !"

Yuanchun grabbed the magic power and instantly strengthened the strength of his limbs. He grabbed Batman's arm with one hand and Jason's arm with the other. He quickly left the altar and rushed into the air.

Galahad put away his shield and followed closely behind.

Batman: "???"

Jason: "..."

Arthur, who was floating in the sky on Vimana, appeared, controlled the aircraft to catch the three of them, and then flew to the corner of the stone wall where Damian was hiding.

The tornado stagnated for a moment, then reversed crazily, and was sucked into the hole in the man in black's chest.

Bright purple currents flowed in the wind, and the looming mist was blown away and reunited tenaciously. The altar collapsed, the towering statues of gods collapsed and shattered, and large and small stones whirled and flew.

This scene is breathtakingly beautiful, as if the world is falling.

Vimana kept rising, and flew towards the crack that Yuanchun and others entered.

"What happened?" Jason was confused, "Don't worry about it? Or is it done?"

"It's too late, it's really..." Yuan Chun gritted his teeth.She subconsciously pressed her chest, her eyes fixed on the abyss below.

Sure enough, there was something there that deeply attracted her. She had a guess, but she still needed evidence to prove it.

Jason asked: "What is it?"

Yuanchun took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Holy Grail."

The tornado of magic power completely sealed the man in black's body, and then he exploded silently like a burning sun.

The dazzling light shattered the fragile barriers of space and bloomed wantonly in the night of Gotham.
