[Comprehensive British and American] Flying around the sun

"You shouldn't be here," Batman said in a low voice.However, Audrey didn't answer him at all, just bent slightly, and stepped on the struggling claw harder.

"How did they teach you?" Audrey said softly, looking down at Talon, "No matter what, you and your owl court are going to die."

Batman stood still.He even began to suspect that the existence of the angry woman was an illusion designed by the court, so that he could experience the despair of falling into the infinite darkness from the joy of being saved... But of course it is impossible.The strong wind whistled in his ears, blowing his somewhat tattered cloak around and flipping it around.

She is indeed here.

If the grotesqueness of the owl maze is a brain-burning suspense movie, the appearance of Qi Girl is like a mechanical descent arranged by a bad screenwriter in the predicament of the script, making this supposedly deep, dark and wonderful drama use a whole The curtain fell in a funny way.

The curtain hasn't actually fallen yet - but Batman is sure it's about to fall when he sees the hand raised by the angry-looking Maiden.

"Can you still go, Bruce?" In the gust of wind, Audrey suddenly turned her head and asked gently.

Batman nodded silently, though every bone in his body screamed with pain and every inch of his skin seemed to burn.But he stood up.He was back on his feet...and his comrades were here, beside him.Of course he was still able to walk, and he was still able to fight, there was no doubt about that.

"That's good." Audrey then smiled at him and said briskly, "We should really go—you haven't drunk the water in that fountain, have you?"

"No." Batman said dryly, "...I don't think there is an exit from this maze."

"Yes, it has no exit at all." Audrey still looked up at the darkness above, she didn't know what she was looking at, and said softly, "It's so ridiculous, these birds are flying in and out of this nest . . . but it has a center. Its center is the fountain, Bruce."

"You can't fly to the top," Batman said, affirming the question.Audrey threw two cans at him, and he caught them and found that they were a bottle of drinking water and a can of hemostatic spray.

The strong wind still whizzed and circled in this huge hall full of coffins, and Batman became a little anxious looking at the empty coffins.How is Gotham now?But he still dealt with his own situation first—preparing for the battle he was about to face next.

"Yes." Audrey said to him in the wind, "I guess there is a magic barrier or something else on the top of the maze... For hundreds of years, everyone who fell into the maze was buried here."

"We've got to get out soon," Batman said.Even though every cell in his body seemed to be screaming for him to drink more, he still left most of the water in the bottle.

Hearing these words, Audrey finally retracted her gaze from the top, and turned to look at him.

... She seemed to be smiling, but her smile disappeared as quickly as foam floating on the water, making it hard to see clearly.

Batman wanted to ask her many questions, but the violent wind that swept through the room suddenly stopped, and Audrey stretched out a hand to Batman: "Let's go."

Batman didn't touch her hand, he just approached her silently.But Qi Mai smiled again, and reached out and grabbed his gauntlets.

She pulled him toward the wall...the smooth high wall of marble, with its huge ornate reliefs on the surface, and barely visible apex.She didn't stop at the wall, but walked straight towards it.

Then, without warning, there was a deafening muffled sound from the base of the wall, and it slumped and fell forward.And Audrey's hand was still holding Batman's arm firmly, and they stepped on the exquisite Gotham models that had been crushed into pieces, and continued to walk forward.

"I'm sorry, but I think you've seen everything here." Audrey said gently, "You should also think that these things shouldn't be kept?"

Another wall collapsed, and the ground began to shake indistinctly.The road became more difficult, but Audrey's progress was not hindered by anything.

The photographs of those victims, buried deep at the bottom of the marble fragments, could no longer serve as glorified evidence of guilt in court.

Batman's heart was beating violently, and his lips were tightened.

something is wrong.It wasn't supposed to be like this, and even though Qi Girl seemed to be behaving normally, just a little rougher than usual, a little colder, she shouldn't—she shouldn't... what shouldn't she do?

He hasn't been able to come up with an answer yet, but Audrey has already unquestionably pulled him to another wall.The high marble wall also collapsed with a loud noise, and the huge owl statue with a height of more than ten meters and the pool below it were exposed in front of their eyes.

And Audrey, who always made Batman feel a little bit of a sense of disobedience, let go of his arm at this moment.

The wind picked up again, Audrey took off the goggles on her face, and threw them aside.Her exposed eyes were sharp and cold, like pools of blood that had been ignited.At the same time, Batman looked up in astonishment.

From the top of the owl statue, out of the indistinct darkness, the members of the owl court, either in suits or jewels, emerged one after another.Extremely inconsistent with their attire, they jumped down from the sky.

Just like a real owl.

Their faces were blank owl masks, their talons gleamed with black light, and they let out shrill, meaningless screams.Batman heard their voices for the first time as they leaped off the wall and plunged into the maze:

"How dare you run wild in Gotham!" screamed the owls angrily, "I will sacrifice your soul to our Lord!"

"No idea." Audrey grinned, but there was no smile in her eyes.

She suddenly turned her head and looked at Batman whose pupils had dilated a bit: "You see, Bruce. These are the people who built mazes underground and carefully created a fake Gotham with building blocks. They tried to control this Everything in this city, including your life and death...so, join me in defeating them."

Before he could answer, she had disappeared in place, reappeared in mid-air, and met those members of the Court of Owls head-on!Suddenly, there was an explosion of certain forces colliding with each other in the air, and the aftermath of that force rushed further away, knocking down and collapsing the carefully designed maze walls one after another.

In an instant, the only thing standing in this subterranean labyrinth was the owl statue.Batman looked around and saw that this vast labyrinth that had trapped him for days and nights and seemed endless to his perception was nothing more than that - it also had boundaries and ends.

Batman withdrew his gaze and looked at the so-called Gotham nobles who fell to the ground and surrounded him.

The dark knight clenched his fists slowly, and let out a deep roar from the bottom of his throat:

"I don't care what's under your mask..."

boom!

His fist hit a man's temple, and he fell to the ground with a muffled grunt, and the black light in his hand went out in a flash.

"Because I know...you're just some..."

boom!

He raised his leg and kicked, and a woman's skirt was raised high in the air. Her hands were as long and sharp as the claws of an owl, and the black light slid across his armor weakly, splitting his armor. Deep cracks.

"...Ordinary greedy scum!"

Several ropes made of black light twisted around Batman's limbs, and several people worked together to try to hang him in midair.It's amazing that they can do magic - but that doesn't change the fact that they're just a bunch of pampered scum!

Batman roared, and with all his strength, he pulled out the four magic ropes abruptly, and pulled the few people who were maintaining them to him!

The wound in his stomach seemed to be open again, oozing a little blood, but he didn't care... His heart was burning, ignited by the owl's vileness, fueled by Qi Nuo.

Maybe their faces beneath the owl masks are hilariously terrified at this moment, but Batman doesn't see it, and he doesn't care.

He knocked them to the ground, gasped for breath while standing there, and turned to look at the court members who were not close.

"Is that all?" Batman said.He clenched his fist again, and showed a somewhat ferocious smile to the members of the court who were chanting incantations in a low voice.

……

"Just like that?" Audrey said, "Is this the confidence for you to act recklessly?"

Compared to the sparse Batman enemies on the ground due to the wide area of ​​the hall, the air where Audrey was located was almost like a supermarket on a sale day.

The members of the court who claimed to be hunters, who would have sat on the stands at the top of the maze and looked down at the trapped prey without knowing when, reversed their identities and became birds driven by the hunter's snare.

At first, they didn't realize this.

The god they believed in, Dormammu, left many classics for the owl court on earth, and only the core, noblest and oldest inheritors were able to learn.And gathered here at this time are the only dark magic practitioners in Gotham...they are unrivaled in every way!

However, no one knew what Audrey had done, and these incomparable, ancient and noble members of the court were so pissed off by her.With vicious curses and arrogant attitudes, they almost rushed towards her in a swarm, and the thick black mist in the air was almost like substance.

These black mist are the embodiment of their magical power, not the power that exists in the real material dimension, and it is absolutely impossible to resist it with Qi Nu's ordinary ability to manipulate gas!

As long as this mist is contaminated with even the tiniest particle, it is enough to make a mortal die in agony.She will be corrupted by this power, and then they will cut her into pieces, make her scream in pain for 49 days, and sacrifice her soul to Dormammu...

... At least in their vision, that's how it should have been.

As they wished, Audrey was indeed being eroded by darkness... The black mist wrapped around her side by side, and even gradually stained her robe black.

But that's it.

She didn't scream in pain, and she didn't want to turn to the darkness, as if she didn't touch them at all!

"It's too slow." Audrey whispered in the ear of a certain spellcaster, "You can't learn your spells by yourself, right? Then I have to say something..."

She disappeared in place again, missed by a member of the court who shot a black arrow at her.The arrow shot through the head of the owl statue with a cold and evil light.

Then, Audrey reappeared behind the man, reached out and tapped the back of his head decisively——

"You really have no talent at all!"

This owl in a suit, whose whole body is full of cool effects, fell straight down from the midair, with a plop, and half of its face was buried in the pool under the statue.

And Audrey hasn't stopped yet.She shuttled through the air, and every time she appeared, someone would plop down to the ground like a bird with broken wings.The members of the court were almost delusional: she was everywhere!

The breeze blew coolly on the surface of their skins, and this elusive wind once again broke the psychological defense of the court members, and their spellcasting arrays suddenly began to slacken.There is a wind blowing...

"Where is she!" "There she is!"

"Idiot! Use the dark ray!" "Why don't you use it? It's because you don't want to pay the cost of casting the spell!"

"She appeared again!" "You bitch, get out of the way!"

They cursed at each other, jostled, and flitted about in the air like frightened birds, surrounded and herded together.And Audrey, like that leisurely hunter, methodically hunted them down one by one.

The most ingenious thing is that she laughed out of nowhere from time to time, which always made those members of the court who wanted to escape rush to her again with teary eyes.

"Dormammu must be ashamed of you," she sneered. "You are worse than the criminals of Arkham!"

Dragging all the members of the court of owls who had been knocked unconscious to the corner, Batman, who was removing their masks one by one to check their true identities, couldn't help but silently raised his head and glanced at her.

He was really curious about where the girl learned the sarcasm. ... Batman's mind conjures up a mustache's face encased in gold-and-red armor.He silently made a note in his heart.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of water coming from the other side of the hall.He turned his head, and then he stood up abruptly and rushed towards the other end.

"Girl!" Batman yelled, "Stop them!"

In the center of the owl pool, a bright red sign swayed in the middle of the water waves.Several people climbed into the middle of the pool, cut their wrists and dripped blood into the water.

The seemingly clear and attractive pool of water suddenly revealed its true colors: a pool of dark, turbulent, foaming liquid.

Time seems to be stretched infinitely at this moment. Batman watched the bright red sign getting brighter and brighter, watched Qi Nu disappear in the air and appear by the pool, but just touching the calling person feels like being scalded Withdrawing his hand, he watched the mouths of the owl court members open and close, and finished reciting their prayers:

"We call you, Dormammu

Hear the call, please give us strength

Let us gain your divine power!

We sacrifice this place to you

Please come in your real body! "

Their stop came too late.

A frenzied expression appeared on the faces of the members of the Owl Court, and the water in the pool slowly spun away, revealing a huge, dark, bottomless portal... the one at the other end made the Supreme Mage turn pale when he heard it. In the dark dimension, the demon god Dormammu they summoned is entrenched there.

Then, the portal closed quickly without a drop of water splashing.Everyone heard Dormammu's voice rumbling, full of resentment and anger: "Get out!"

The members of the Court of Owls stared blankly at the pool water that had become clear again, then raised their heads blankly, looking at Batman who rushed over and Qi Girl who stretched out his hand.

boom!

……

"A proverb that Clark told me before is quite true." Audrey said thoughtfully, looking at the big hole that was blasted under her feet, "When you have a hammer in your hand, everything looks like a nail. .”

"There is no such proverb." Batman pointed out that although his face was still pale, but he had restored Batman's factory settings, he folded his arms and said lightly, "...just abusing strength cannot solve all problems."

And Audrey put her hands behind her back and smiled at him: "But when the problem is that there is an unfinished nail on the roof, it is very useful to have a hammer in your hand, isn't it?"

"..." Batman turned his face, looked at the big hole and said, "Let's go, get out of here... go back to the Batcave."
