[Comprehensive British and American] Flying around the sun
Chapter 109 Don't Seek Darkness
"..." Audrey looked at the two Englishmen who appeared in the sewer for some unknown reason, and the ice block of the owl behind him froze a little more, and rushed to the top of the sewer with a gust of cold air.
And Watson didn't seem to have recovered, still looking at her dully.Seeing that Sherlock's lips began to tremble, Audrey finally broke the enigmatic awkward stalemate and strode towards them.
She looked down at the wound on Sherlock's shoulder that was pierced by sharp claws, and looked at the dirty appearance of the two of them crawling and rolling in the sewer, and finally said what she wanted to say most at this moment. The words: "...what are you doing?"
"I think I can explain, Madame," said Watson dryly, "if you will send us out..."
"No, no, Watson, we're not going out." Sherlock quickly cut off his words, "We're very close to the answer, that assassin must be the killer kept by the Owl Court, and we can find the secret of the court from him." The clue... hiss!"
He let out a cry of pain, because Audrey had already pulled out a bottle of hemostatic spray from behind her waist, and unceremoniously sprayed it on his wound.
Watson's expression looked as frightened as Sherlock's announcement that there are ghosts in the world, and he whispered, "Are you really crazy?! Look at that thing just now, how do you think you can get out of this case?" Get out of the way? Let’s not mention this killer, just a whisper will not be enough for you to deal with—”
"I have no intention of single-handedly uprooting this tissue, John." Sherlock continued without even looking at his wound, "but first I want to make sure it exists, and I think there must be enough dark secrets Something that shook the city...and now we're touching the edge."
"Boom." Audrey tapped the air expressionlessly, causing the air to make a harp-like ding-dong sound, interrupting the long debate they were about to start. "You two, I'm still here."
"Let me check on that assassin, Qi girl." Sherlock turned his face and demanded confidently.
"Don't listen to him! Angry girl, please take us out, this place is too dangerous." Watson sang against the tune, expressing his urgency to Audrey with body movements, "Whispering just now withdrew for some reason— — if they turn back again, the movement will get bigger."
"I have a better idea." Audrey said standing in the air with her arms folded. "Why don't you tell me why you are here first?"
Five minutes later, Watson looked at the angry girl who was lost in thought with a disturbed expression.And after Sherlock expressed the urgency, necessity and importance of him exploring the secrets of Gotham, he is still trying to pass Audrey to observe the owl assassin frozen in ice.
"Hmm...wait for a while." Audrey lowered her eyes and glanced at them and said, "I'll go see what this so-called whisper is about."
She suddenly turned into a cloud of wind in front of Watson's eyes and disappeared in place.Sherlock got this opportunity and immediately rushed to the edge of the ice, took out the magnifying glass and began to observe the frozen assassin.
"Why are you so obsessed with—hey! What can you see?" Watson wiped the blood from Sherlock on his face and hands, and raised his head just in time to see Sherlock's eyes groping frantically on the ice, With a broken expression, he said, "Across the ice and such a thick armor?"
"I don't know, John," murmured Sherlock, in a voice as soft as a whisper, "I'm driven by a calling—I must solve this mystery. I must... if I cannot solve this mystery, I will No more. Do you understand, John?"
"I can't understand it. You are so abnormal, Holmes." Watson walked slowly to his side, bent down to stare at Sherlock's eyes that changed color with the light, and said word by word, "Your reason Where did it go? Don't tell me you didn't notice the weirdness of this at all."
"It's not all fruitless... The classical coat of arms on his shoulders is consistent with the sporadic records I found in the literature." Sherlock said to himself, "The Athens owl, the coat of arms on ancient Greek coins, symbolizes imagery of wealth and power...the Court of Owls is real, John."
"The Court of Owls never existed," Batman said coldly, panting heavily.Using force with his arms, he firmly screwed on the gate at the junction of the sewer and the subway line.
As the gate slowly sank, at the other end of the subway line, several members of the Black Ridge wearing iron masks were yelling: "Get out of my tunnel!"
"..." Audrey was convinced that they were the "Whispering Society" Watson mentioned.She followed Batman with folded arms and asked, "Why? You don't believe what Holmes said?"
"No reason. This is my Gotham. Batman's city." Batman said depressingly, "Gotham is my old friend... the place I know best. An assassin sneaked into Wayne Building this morning, Attempt to assassinate me and the mayoral candidate. All this apparently because of next year's presidential election and not for some occult reason... whoever my enemy is this time, his biggest mistake was trying to use a legend against it I."
"Well, it seems that you don't need me to stay and help you?" Audrey shrugged, "I also want to say that I froze a sharp claw... um... I plan to give it to you."
Batman turned around abruptly, the cloak was almost drawn to Audrey's face: "Where is it?"
…………
Regardless of Holmes' arguments and protests, he and Watson were packed and sent back to the apartment by Batman, who did not reason with the detective.
Audrey and Batman stood in the Batcave, and the giant ice block with frozen claws was whistling white smoke.
"When did you get a mortuary in the Batcave?" Audrey looked around and raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't tell me you're going to sneak corpses in through that ventilation duct—"
"He's dead," Batman said, watching Talon's face.
"You really think so?" Audrey said, crossing her arms.
Batman glanced at her wordlessly, gathered his cloak and walked out.
Audrey, who was subtly hit by Batman's evasive attitude, stood still and sighed, followed: "You really don't need my help? Even though you have experienced two assassinations, four fights, and more in one day. There was a high-altitude fall?"
"Gotham affairs." Batman half didn't want to explain his actions, and replied concisely, "I haven't asked you why you are here."
Audrey's expression was suddenly a little embarrassed, and her eyes wandered for a while: "A little accident..."
Batman looked at her wordlessly.Audrey touched her nose and suddenly remembered something: "Ah, yes, Batman. Before I came here, I learned a prophecy about you."
Batman then pauses, making a physical gesture that he's listening.Audrey told him the future and advice that the wizard Shazam saw from the Book of Reflection.
After Batman pursed his lips, his first reaction was: "You have officially become the agent of the will of the elements."
"Yes, but is it important?" Audrey helplessly responded to the bat-like affirmative sentence and interrogative sentence grammar, "If the secret about Gotham in the prophecy refers to the one you are exploring now..."
"You know who Dormammu is." Batman asked declaratively again.
"...If I say I don't know what your reaction will be?" Audrey pursed her lips, and explained to him honestly, "Actually, I asked the Supreme Mage. He is the ruler of the dark dimension, and his power All the dark minds, souls, and matter that exist in the universe have been watching the earth, but they are blocked by the earth's magic defense."
"A dangerous cosmic demon god." Batman defined it. He turned around again, looked at the deep and dark Batcave, his eyes narrowed deeply, "and he is related to Gotham..."
He turned around: "I will find out the people behind the scenes. Thank you for coming to inform me, mad girl. If it's okay, you can go."
Obviously Batman and the wizard Shazam both believe that Audrey should not participate in the darkness of Gotham, at least after being invited out, Audrey herself speculates so.
In the deepest part of her heart, she had a vague premonition: she would still participate in this incident as prophesied.Audrey looked up at the gray sky of Gotham, which has remained unchanged for many years, and disappeared in place again.
Then, she managed to appear atop the Empire State Building in New York....
"..." Audrey looked down at the teleport landing point, which was thousands of meters away from her expected landing point, and rubbed the center of her brows with a headache.At least the deviation wasn't too far this time, she comforted herself.
This is an ability she has never had before. Exploring and using it feels like going back to a long time ago. Audrey once again felt the jerky and novel experience of discovering a little bit of brand new power in her body.But every exploration ability in memory is always mixed with anxiety and pain, and she has a lot of time now.
I don't know what Clark is doing now?Audrey was at the top of this magnificent landmark building, feeling the high-altitude wind blowing on her cheeks, and suddenly missed her lover very much.
She turned into a cloud of wind and disappeared in place again.
Clark was in the bedroom of the small apartment, leaning on the bed and reading.Just as he turned a page, Audrey appeared with a gust of wind and landed on his lap.
Clark looked at her from over the spine of the book, and after the look of surprise, he broke into a big grin.
"It's amazing." Clark said, hugging her up. "Is it magic?"
"Is it magic? I don't think so, but it probably is." Audrey pretended to think in distress for a moment, smiled and rubbed cheeks with him, "What are you looking at, Clark?"
Clark heard the words and did not answer, but turned the book to the cover and showed the cover in front of her eyes.Audrey lowered her eyes with a smile, and saw that the words printed on the cover were not English letters...not even Earth characters.
It was two lines of Kryptonian text: "Kiel-Gore Dialogue," Bur-Air.
"Xiao Li." Clark said softly in Kryptonian, and he still held her in his arms, "You were talking to me in Kryptonian last night."
Audrey raised her head.Clark's breathing was a little hot, blowing on her skin unsteadily.When Clark whispered these words in her ear, Audrey had already guessed what she might have said when she was unconscious.
But she still asked in a low voice, "What did I say?"
"Your accent wasn't like that last night!" Clark raised his head and said accusingly in Kryptonian.He stretched out his hands and rubbed Audrey's face.
Audrey laughed, holding his face as well, and slowly said in Kryptonian with a wonderful accent: "Because you told me that the Kryptonian language taught by Krypton's AI is too standard, There is no accent and no emotions and ups and downs. So I will try to add some accents after I learn it...I want this language to be a 'living' language, not a record in videos and textbooks."
"I didn't say..." Clark's voice trailed off until he fell silent.Audrey approached him, and said rather shamelessly, "That's you."
Well, well, that's him.Clark couldn't do anything about his lover staring at him wide-eyed, unblinking, and speaking in Kryptonian with a unique accent, which seemed to be something he could speak.
Clark couldn't help laughing, and kissed Audrey's lips.But he quickly brought the topic back:
"You kept saying, 'Won't fall asleep, won't forget you'. What's going on?" Clark asked sadly. "Have you ever had any problems with your memory, Lily?"
"Do you really want to start listening to my unpleasant experiences at this time?" Audrey whispered next to his face.But he straightened up, and an index finger was already on Clark's lips, which was about to speak: "Hush. Listen to me, Clark."
"Each of my abilities has been tested countless times." Audrey said softly, looking down at Clark's rapt face, she raised a hand.
Clark could see that the gas covering the surface of her skin suddenly began to fluctuate like flowing water: "Gas defense...strike test, and continuous electric shock. Gas entity form...medicine and training. Air pressure change...extreme survival test."
She withdrew her hand and smiled: "In order to test the upper limit of my ability, they often give me various drugs with different effects... Among them is a commonly used drug, which will quickly lose consciousness and short-term memory after taking it .”
Clark held his breath.Audrey pressed her cheek against Clark's warm face again, and said softly: "So, once I woke up, I forgot about you, Carl. Although it was only for one day...but that was my first time. Seeing you so sad and hopeless for the first time, you look like you've lost the whole world...I don't want to forget you ever again."
"I can understand." Clark hugged her tightly, buried his face in the long hair on Audrey's shoulders, and said in a low voice, "I think I understand..."
"So I made a promise with you. When I think I'm going to lose consciousness, I'll talk to you in Kryptonian. This way I can stay awake for a longer period of time and let the drug be metabolized as soon as possible..." Audrey lightly He said softly, smiling and sighing, "It's great that none of us have been through that here, Clark."
"I wish you hadn't experienced those things," Clark said sadly.He wanted to know the story that Audrey had never narrated, but after he actually learned about it, he only felt a sour pain in his heart, which made him afraid to look into her clear eyes.
Audrey still looked at him with that gentle smile, and then she suddenly said, "Want to go back to Krypton, Carl?"
Clark looked up, eyes wide.Under his gaze, Audrey's beautifully shaped eyes were bent, and stars seemed to twinkle in them: "I can go with you."
……
"Batman has been missing for three days," Nightwing whispered. "We have to find him."
"Who was the last person he saw?" Damian said anxiously, grabbing his weapon, "Where did he go?"
