How to start Meursault

He Jian was frightened.

While there are plenty of family jokes about "remember cremation" or "I don't want to come back," but...

Generally speaking, villains and vigilantes in this world are not so easy to die completely.

Falling from a cliff, leaving no bones in a massive explosion, being struck by a suspicious light and disappearing is presumed dead.

Or just a normal burial after death.

They ended up coming back through a revolving door anyway.

But being shot in the head in public, and then bombing the body—

Given Lars' history of returning several times, the latter move was clearly intended to keep him from resurrecting with the Lazarus Pool.

If Lars can be resurrected on his own like He Jian, this scene may still be salvaged, but Lars can't.

He Jian was in a state of shock, but then he thought of something that might be more troublesome than Lars' death.

—Damian was definitely there.

He knew that Damian should have stayed with the Aogu family before.For Damian, it must be a very important thing for his grandfather to decide to take his mother to surrender publicly and to reveal the secret of Lazarus Pool.

His little brother must have been in close proximity trying to guard his family.

As a result, Damian lost his other grandfather.

In person again.

——Like a bad joke, the villain was killed just when he was about to make a little compensation, and he lived for thousands of years as a villain without dying.

He Jian has no feelings for Lars in his world.Same goes for Thalia.

He Jian would not like anyone who wanted to take away or hurt his little brother.

But he maintained a certain respect for the two ancients.

He Jian's blood family's eccentricity is not lower than that of the Aogu family in a certain sense, and he is not considered a good person.

He knew that the Wayne family and the August family were bound together by slightly different bonds.

And one thing is exactly the same, the most important part of the bond, trust.

——Did you believe that someone would save you when you were drowning?Do you trust someone to catch you when you fall?

Not only that, but also the malice displayed when falling into madness, and the weakness that can be attacked when controlled...

Trust that consists of complete mutual understanding.

The Russ of this world says that blood and scars and pain are only part of love, and that even a sane, sane Hokage agrees.

He Jian respects the Aogu family's way of expressing family affection.

He also knew the consequences of this public assassination.

Even if Talia and Lars had had moments of great hostility before, Talia would never forgive Deathstroke's actions.

She will definitely go back and summon all the forces that once belonged to the head of the demon to take revenge and make Deathstroke pay the blood price.

That is to say, war.

When they saw the news in the bar, most of the sober people were taken aback.

That's normal, the Demon Head is a bit of a legend within a villain.No one knows how long the League of Assassins has stretched its hand, and over the years, it can be said that the League has steadily exported all kinds of heroes and villains, even Batman was once his disciple.He had been a lord for a long time—hundreds of years at least—and ruled over a large piece of land.Even in the least horrific way possible, he was the FBI's most wanted man for 13 years running.

Then Lars was shot in the head by Deathstroke.

"It's terrible, I thought no one would dare to assassinate him!" A strong man sitting by the bar turned pale.

"That's the death knell, maybe it has something to do with him."

"...Maybe it's a bribe. I heard that as long as the money is enough, Deathstroke will accept any order."

"I don't think that's the death knell." Luca said with a look of displeasure, but his voice was very soft, probably only Angelica who was sitting next to him in the noisy bar heard it.

Angelica also saw the way Luka lost all expression for a moment while staring at the news.

From Luka's frowning eyebrows at the moment, she felt a strange sense of dissonance, or a sense of familiarity, as if she had seen a similar expression on someone else's face.

"Why?" Angelica asked casually pretending not to care.

"That... the assassin, the second shot he fired missed." Luka seemed to be unconsciously wrapping his fingers around a strand of hair hanging from his temples, "It's a waste of time."

Angelica didn't notice that Deathstroke fired two shots during the live broadcast. Considering the viewing angle and on-site radio problems, she vaguely felt that among the people watching the live broadcast in this bar, probably only Luca noticed this.

Although it was a bit confusing, Angelica felt that Luka was too shocked, so he didn't realize that it was unlikely that others would notice this.

In addition, she actually couldn't understand the logic behind what Luka said.Why is it a failure to fire one more shot?

And, why does Luca sound so familiar with these things?

A vague uneasiness surfaced in Angelica's heart.

Last time, Luca was able to see the problem behind Rebecca when she didn't say a word, this time...

Is he really just an ordinary thief?

In the next second, he didn't know whether he sensed Angelica's uneasiness or realized that his behavior was unreasonable. Luca turned his head to look at Angelica with a flustered expression.

The two looked at each other.Somehow, Angelica let herself be dragged away by Luka's sleeve.

"Please, don't say it." Luca showed a seamless pleading expression to the person in front of him.

Angelica was stunned by his preemptive attack.

"Don't say anything?" she asked.

"...I can hear more. See more." Luka shivered like a normal scared child. "They'll take me away."

She understood.

Luca is a 'superpower', although he possesses some insignificant abilities, he is afraid of being sent to the laboratory.

The doubt that she had a few minutes ago was instantly eliminated by the sharing of this secret, and replaced by a sense of responsibility.

"I'll keep it a secret for you." Angelica squeezed Luka's palm reassuringly.

However, this does explain why Luka is such a good thief.

He Jian used to not need to be vigilant while reasoning.Since he rarely needs to fight, he is not trained to do so.

In this world, when he was Luka, he would be relatively more relaxed, coupled with the momentary shock, causing a small flaw in his disguise. Fortunately, he knew Angelica well enough to know what kind of language and demeanor able to convince her.

Well, he'll remember not to get too caught up in reasoning next time.

But he was really thinking about an important doubt, that is, whether the assassin at the scene was the death knell.

Considering the situation at the scene, the shot at Talia was clearly inaccurate on purpose. Perhaps others would interpret this as Talia's unwillingness to surrender, so he directed and staged the assassination himself, but He Jian didn't think so. .

If Thalia disagrees with Lars' decision, based on her character, it is more likely that she will pull people in the alliance who are inclined to her to fight Lars directly-she has done such a thing before.

The most important point is that even if she wanted to kill Lars, she would not choose to let others do it in front of Damian.

Then this inaccurate shot is the shooter himself wanting Talia alive.

Thinking about it this way, He Jian actually prefers that this is a death knell or an enemy of the Aogu family. Relying on the mask of the death knell's uniform, he wants to provoke the two sides to go to war.

He doesn't think this conspiracy is difficult to see through, but I'm afraid Thalia himself will not be able to calm down and investigate first.

—Truth be told, Talia's reputation would be ruined if she didn't immediately call in a vengeance to counter the rumors that she had ordered the assassination.And the real death knell, as long as the door is hit, if you don't fight back accordingly, your reputation will also be damaged.

Don't get me wrong, He Jian thinks about these things not because he thinks this conflict that is difficult to stop is particularly important, so he won't violate the principle of non-interference for some irrelevant people.

The main problem is still Damian.

He Jian couldn't stop worrying about his little brother in this world.He could almost imagine that Damian and Bruce had different attitudes in this matter. In the end, it was mostly Bruce who investigated the case alone, while Damian ran to the death knell to settle the score.

Judging from the situation on Lazarus Island, it is also possible that Damian ran to find the looters first.He Jian suspects that Rose, who has always been at odds with her father, will agree to go to Deathstroke with Damian to settle the score.

If Damian found the death knell first than Talia's people, the matter might still be saved, but if it was the other way around, I'm afraid a bunch of undead people wouldn't be able to solve it.

There was also the question of what would happen to Thalia when things were over.

She obviously couldn't turn herself in again as if nothing had happened, that is, she had to go back to the kind of life she used to live.

Um?Seems pretty good too?

As long as her relationship with Damian doesn't reopen.He Jian thought of it.

And these things he should not meddle in.

Absolutely shouldn't-

The most important ability He Jian learned from Tim is how to grasp family information at all times without being noticed.

Such as coordinates.

He glared at his feet sullenly, wondering why the kid Damian had accidentally left so many traceable marks.

—Damian was so angry.

He could find San Francisco so easily, He Jian swore that Bruce would never be far away.

Then Bruce can watch the awkward scene as he does.

He Jian really wanted to bang his head against the wall, if it wasn't because it would be heard - why on earth did he follow Damian all the way here just to listen to another family ethics drama?

On the rooftop not far away, the silver-haired boy who took off his hood was explaining his origin to Damian.

Apparently, the boy who specifically targeted Damian on Lazarus Island was actually the son of Deathstroke and Thalia Gene, made by Lars who was still crazy, that is to say, he was actually Damian's younger brother.

He Jian looked at Damian and repeated "I have a younger brother" twice while smiling.

— Well, Damian wants a brother.

He silently remembered this, and when he was about to return to his own world, he looked around to see if there was such a person.

This is probably the first of many things he wrote down that was pretty good.

On the rooftop, Damian and Resurrection fought like real brothers—August brothers, before being stopped by Batman who fell from the sky.

He Jian wished he was wearing an automatic camera lens, and Bruce's reaction when he saw the resurrected face was so funny.

——He must subconsciously think that he has another child.

The death knell obviously also discovered this, and he went directly to the resurrection and said with special emphasis that this was his son.

It's a pity that the atmosphere of the family ethics drama didn't last long, and Thalia's people came here.

Thalia's orders were to shoot and kill, as did anyone who stood in the way or helped Deathstroke's escape.

For the death knell who does not want to start a full-scale war, but wants to find out who framed him, a group of assassins with live ammunition may not be too difficult to deal with, but for his inexperienced son, it is enough to kill threatened.

Slade Wilson looked at his son lying in his arms, a kind of extreme fear instantly overwhelmed everything else.

not again-

Why did his closest relatives always leave him?

Resurrection has only returned to him for such a short time, and he doesn't even have a decent name——

Suddenly, Slade fired a shot forward.

It didn't take long for him to kill all the assassins who came after him after he was hit by the barrage, and he didn't mind killing another one, but the guy who was 100% shot in the heart by him quickly came up as if he didn't feel it .

"You'd better not shoot me in the head, if you still want him to live." The boy who walked over looked very impatient.

Slade's finger on the trigger loosened.

Of course he had to go to a doctor for the resurrection treatment.But deep in his shielded mind that he didn't want to admit, he knew that his son was probably hopeless.

Whatever the man wanted, as long as it saved Slade from the resurrection, he would accept it.

Noticing that he would not be shot again, the young man who did not hide his face immediately bent down and simply reached out to hold Fuxing's blood-stained wrist. Immediately afterwards, Slade, who was holding Fuxing, felt the pain in his arms. The weak heartbeat actually stabilized.

"You still have to find a doctor to sew him up for a blood transfusion. I just can make sure he doesn't die," the boy said.

The look on his face clearly said 'you better act fast before I regret it'.

Before Slade picked Resurrection up from the ground, Rose Wilson finally finished dealing with the assassins on the other side and rushed over to join her father and brother. Then she happened to see the boy holding Resurrection's wrist, and the man posing Bad face.

She had seen the face—

"Aren't you the one who guarded Robin on Lazarus Island!?"

He Jian didn't really want to save people other than his family.Even if Slade would go crazy after the death of his son again and lead his own association to formally fight Talia, he didn't want to save people.If he saved people casually, wouldn't he become a good person?

In addition to not wanting to save anyone other than his family, he knew that Rose had seen his face on Lazarus Island and his strange attitude towards Damian, which would be very troublesome.

So no matter how you look at it, it is better not to be saved.

—but then Damian lost the brother he had just acquired.

He Jianbi recalled the time when his Damian died.

Um.He was knocked down by Bruce anesthetized because he was trying to kill someone. After waking up, he directly started to study how to revive his little brother.

At that time, He Jian didn't even think about the possibility that Damian couldn't come back, nor did he think that it was impossible for such a worthless and unknown person to be able to revive Damian.

Forget it, let's treat it as a big bonus.He'll remember to let Deathstroke pour out all the information he wants to know.

He Jian walked out from the shadow of hiding, and after being shot without pain—the status quo after his ability has grown—he maintained the basic signs of resurrection.

As expected, Rose recognized him the moment she saw him.

He Jian didn't even bother to move his eyebrows.Just add a requirement later that you must never reveal that you have met him.

"Since you're here, I'll just make it clear." He said in a very uncomfortable tone, "I saved this kid because he is Damian's younger brother."

While taking a stand like this might be a bit too conducive to a peaceful resolution of the Deathstroke-Talia fight, at least it would be less frivolous tentativeness.

Rose, who was about to say something, shut up instantly when she heard this, and just watched her father start contacting the best doctor he could find.

——She saw Lin Zhongxia who didn't know why he was still alive and had activated the alarm system a little further away. It seemed that the vigilante sent by Batman to follow them should also be rescued by this boy.But since the other party looks like he doesn't want to admit it, it's better not to mention it.

A few hours later, Resurrection was finally able to maintain normal physical signs even after getting rid of the boy's special ability, and Slade finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Without repeating the same mistakes, he and his son still have a future.

However, the atmosphere in the crude makeshift operating room was still awkward.

Resurrected was still comatose, the teenager hadn't spoken for hours, just looked sullen, and Slade's focus was on his son.

Rose coughed, ready to be the one to speak.

"So, you want Robin and Fusheng to be good brothers?" she said.

"That's a matter between the two of them." The boy replied very bluntly.

All right, one sentence kills the chatter.

"You hope that Thalia and I don't go into a full-scale war." Slade also said suddenly.

The teenager looked back at Slade with a mocking look.

"Of course you can take the time to think about what common enemy you and Mrs. Thalia have. Even if she knows you've been framed, she won't stop unless you find that imposter."

The tone is not very friendly, but the content can be said to be friendly.And it further confirms that there is a deep connection between him and Robin.

Is the honorific title used for Thalia because this person originally belonged to the Alliance?

Slade didn't remember seeing this face, but given his age, maybe it wasn't out of the question.

"You saved Fusheng, is there anything you want my father to do?" Since Fusheng survived in the end, Rose didn't mind pushing this unknown boy to make some excessive demands on Slade.She brought Robin here to settle accounts with her father in the first place.

The boy's next words made Deathstroke begin to suspect that the opponent did not actually belong to the alliance, but had a history with Batman—

"The first is absolutely not to tell anyone that they have seen me, or what I have done. Especially bats and birds. I still have a reputation to maintain," he said.

"And, I have some information I hope you can tell me. It starts with the invasion of the dark multiverse."
