[Comprehensive English and American] This is not a serious day-to-day

I personally experienced the power of Lucky 0 once. This time, no one dared to continue messing around. They hung on the sharp claws in an orderly manner, waiting for Rania to pull them up.

And in the case that they do not act, it is Rania's luck that needs to be checked.

"Lucky ∞" flashed on the panel, but there was no other response. Rania also successfully fished up her father and older brothers and younger brothers. There was no mistake this time, and Bruce's HP did not drop any further. , maintained at the thrilling "1".

In fact, just looking at the surface, her father was pale, his arm was broken, and he didn't know if he had internal injuries. It was completely impossible to tell that his HP was only 1 left.Rania thought.

...However, in the eyes of others, her low air pressure is about to form a dark aura around her.

They managed to save their lives, but what was waiting for them was the angry little Shrike. They all felt that they were suffering and couldn't tell.

Facing the gloomy expression on the little girl's face, the little birds who had caused the second injury to Bruce all closed their mouths in a tacit understanding, curled up quietly in the black mist, and waited for Rania to give Bruce first aid—this was also impossible, so Their luck is that they did not give the old father first aid because they wanted to send him to a dead end.

There are no medical tools around, but the black mist is the best medical tool. Raniya is not very good at first aid. After all, she and her former guardian died if they couldn't beat them... But she still knows how to fix broken bones , and relying on the black mist, there is no problem in temporarily continuing the broken bone.

The hair-thin black mist swirled around Bruce's arm, and then penetrated into his arm one after another, correcting the broken bone. The mist adhered to the surface of the bone, forming a solid protection.In just a short moment, Bruce's arm moved freely. Except that Rania couldn't stop the pain, it was not much different from before the fracture, but this pain was commonplace for Batman, and he could bear it completely.

Raniya seldom tried the effect of the black mist first aid on herself. She didn't need it, so she didn't know if it would hurt. She observed for a while and found that Bruce's face was clueless, so she didn't think much about it. .

After first aid, the HP on his head also recovered and returned to a safe range.

Although this is Bruce's memory, the memory also has its own rules and logic. This is not a looping video, but a space where time circulates continuously. Only by recreating the original scene can the time here flow, just like If Bruce had stayed in the rest station, he couldn't have waited there for the end of this memory, so he had to climb up the snow mountain to show Rania the original memory.

In fact, Rania didn't know what Bruce was going to show her until now. He said that this memory was about how she was born, but so far they are climbing snow-capped mountains, which doesn't look like what she imagined. When the parents in the movie meet, who will meet in the deserted snow mountain——

and many more.

Rania thought about it carefully, and it didn't seem impossible, after all, half of her blood came from evil creatures, and it could not be ruled out that Bruce encountered a black mist on a snow mountain and was dragged into a lair like that—which cave might it be Well, there's no better place here.

Of course, there will be no poignant love story in this way...but isn't this more delicious.

Thinking about it further, in fact, she may have always had a misunderstanding. The reason why Rania recognizes herself as a woman is because her human shell is a woman. In fact, gender has no meaning to Hei Mist, so it is very likely It wasn't Bruce who slept with the evil creature at all...but he was slept with by the evil creature.

...that would explain a lot of things.The little girl suddenly felt enlightened.

Field, tentacles, binding, force, extreme environment, temperature difference, hurt&comfort...

In an instant, Raniya couldn't help running through hundreds of AO3 works with more than [-] words in her mind.

It's a pity that you can't make it too obvious, you can only observe quietly.The little girl thought regretfully.

Probably because her eyes were too weird, Bruce, who had been reticent all the way, finally opened his mouth and began to talk about his actions in this memory.

"I was training with a master in Nepal 16 years ago. When I left Nepal, I accidentally tracked down a cult group of local people," he said without pausing. "They used underage girls for living sacrifices. , pray to the evil god they believe in, and the place is in this snow mountain."

As the altitude increases, the air becomes thinner, and it is difficult to breathe in the wind and snow. The altitude sickness oppresses everyone's heart. It is even more difficult to speak in this environment. Even with the help of the black mist, Rania dare not Continue to talk, not to dare to climb up quickly. At this moment, hearing Bruce speak, the little girl couldn't help showing an unbelievable expression.

The black fog tentacle tentatively swam to the side of Bruce's face, trying to stop him from speaking, but Batman just shook his head.

"I followed them for four months before I caught their traces. Originally, I planned to monitor them for a while, but before that, I heard that they planned to send a new batch of sacrifices into the snow mountain, so I could only immediately action."

Batman said in a low voice: "They are very cautious. There are believers monitoring the roads entering this snow mountain, and they are all locals, even hunters who have lived in the snow mountain for half their lives. They know every path that can enter the snow mountain. If I don't get discovered by them, I have to choose a dead end that even the herdsmen would not take."

So 16 years ago, the young Bruce chose to climb up to the top of the mountain from the back of the snow mountain alone, risking his life from falling at any time, to save the innocent girls who were being sacrificed.

In his narration, they gradually approached the top of the mountain, and as Bruce said, the temple of the religious order was built on the top of the snow mountain, hidden in the wind and snow, and the entire mountaintop was under the surveillance of the religious order. It will be found at the top of the mountain.

"So we're going to encounter the enemy soon?" Rania asked.

The human shell is inconvenient to talk, but the black mist doesn't have this trouble. As the mist surges, the white-haired girl appears next to Jason, but this time, her dress can be said to be so cool that it doesn't match the current background, the windbreaker It wasn't even dressed properly, and it slipped loosely from the shoulders, revealing thin shoulders. The short skirt was held up because of the overlapping legs, and the shadow on the side of the legs made people want to find out.

Thin tentacles swam out of her body, drifting towards Jason's direction vaguely, as if representing Black Mist's love that he couldn't hide.

Just when the tentacles were about to wrap around Jason, Bruce's words made them stop abruptly.

"It's not you, it's me," he said, "and I'm their only enemy."

Raniya looked a little confused, and thought for a while: "Then I will let the black mist..."

"No, just me," Bruce said.

The little girl couldn't help but frowned, feeling Bruce's waywardness once again.

In her mind, even if Bruce was Batman, he would not be unscathed in the face of an entire sect of enemies, let alone he was still wounded.

She frowned slowly, weighed it in her heart, and said, "Actually, I don't have to see it with my own eyes...you can tell me directly."

"I trust you," Rania said.

Hearing this sentence, Bruce's breath lightened suddenly.

He closed his eyes, remained silent for a moment, and then opened them again, with an unexpectedly firm attitude.

"No, you've got to see it for yourself," he said.

Seeing with his own eyes how he strayed into the sea of ​​emptiness, seeing with his own eyes that there is not such a solid blood bond between him and her, seeing with his own eyes that she could not have such a fate, and then knowing that she has the right to choose, After knowing all the truth, she can still choose whether she is willing to stay or leave without looking back.

Rania pursed her lips: "But you will get hurt."

Even if she knew that this was a memory, and the injuries here would not be taken out of memory, even if she knew that Bruce was not that weak and didn't need her protection, Rania still didn't want to see her father covered in bruises.

She looked directly into Bruce's eyes: "I don't want you to get hurt, I want to protect you."

"I know." Bruce said.

He lowered his head, and the dim light in the wind and snow shone into his eyes, floating with a faint glow, like a silver mountain spring at dawn, with wordless complex emotions gurgling in the mountains.

The corners of his mouth raised a rare arc, and his eyes were as gentle as the winter sun: "So I also want to give you a chance to choose."

She had never made a choice, whether it was fate or anything else, she was deprived of the opportunity to choose, so now he can do his best to give her the opportunity she should have had.

So he was alone, and the next battle belonged to him, neither his son nor his daughter could come to help him, even if they had to watch him dying.

There is a saying that the closer you are to death, the more you can see the world that ordinary people cannot see.

Ever since he learned the name "Outland" from Constantine, Batman has been collecting relevant information, but there is very little information about Outland, and it is even more difficult to enter the sea of ​​emptiness and fog. What is clear is that the conditions for entering the outer domain must be extremely harsh.

After returning from the sea of ​​emptiness and fog, Bruce investigated the living priest, and found that there seemed to be a shadow from hell behind this sect. The root header is sent into the foreign domain.

And after repeatedly recalling how he entered the sea of ​​emptiness so many times, Bruce has already understood one thing.

—Only when he was on the verge of death could he push open the door to Outland.

Rania didn't know anything about Bruce's thoughts. She could only watch her father leave the black mist, climb up the cliff with ease, knock down the nearest believer from behind, put him down slowly, and then approached not far away Another figure of the

Perhaps because of too many rehearsals, Batman's actions went extremely smoothly, and he easily eliminated the cultists along the way, which also made Rania feel relieved, and followed Bruce from a distance, watching him find the secret hidden in the mountain wall. palace.

After knocking out the guards guarding the hall, Bruce sneaked into the hall, and Rania and Dick also sneaked into the hall.

There were constant screams along the way, and the believers wrapped in black robes lay on the ground. When Rania and the others entered the inner hall, Bruce was already standing in front of a pool of oil-like pitch black water, quietly waiting for the final enemy .

No matter what their usual attitude is, the birds have full confidence in their father, and they think that Batman will also sweep the audience next.Perhaps Bruce could only barely solve the sect back then, but now Batman——

As if aware of the danger, the viscous pitch-black liquid began to emit huge bubbles, like boiling magma, emitting a thick rancid smell and gray-green mist. For a while, the entire inner hall was covered in disgusting gray Green diffuses.

The water in the pool boiled more and more violently, and finally black liquid shot up into the sky, twisted flesh balls covered with strange organs gushed out black water, and spiked tentacles slammed into the figure in front of the pool.

Rania froze suddenly when she saw the flying blood.

The calm black mist stood still for a moment, then violently rioted. Countless pitch-black spikes replaced the tentacles, blooming like petals in the darkness, pointing to the evil creature in the center of the hall, each of which shone with a cold light.

"Don't come here!" Bruce yelled, "Go and save people!"

Rania was indifferent to his words, the spikes aimed at the ugly fleshy monster, and shot out!

"...Calm down!" Dick pressed Rania's hand, "Bruce has his reasons for doing this!"

The spikes paused in mid-air, and Rania slowly turned her head back, looking at Dick's face expressionlessly, her eyes did not fluctuate.

"Damn it!" Damian fell into a rage and roared, "You just watched your father being abused?"

Dick held down Rania, and Tim held Damian. They were deadlocked here. In the hall, the battle, or the one-sided abuse continued.

The pain and cold in memory reappear here, the breath of death is like a shadow, there are more and more wounds on the fleshy body, and the wounds on Bruce's body are getting more and more serious. Amidst the shrill and crazy screams, thick green blood It gurgled out from the wound of the meatball, mixed with the pitch-black liquid into a disgusting color, and spread all over the ground of the temple, forming a foul-smelling swamp.

Rania didn't know why she was still calm.Because it's memory?Or because of something else?

She watched all this happen, watched the man roaring, rushed up again and again, watched his blood splash on the swamp, and was quickly swallowed by thick blood, what did he want to show herself?

"If you don't want to watch it, let's save people first," Dick said.

Before entering here, Dick never thought that he would see such a scene. He and Bruce fought side by side. They all fought with him. Even if they failed, they experienced it together. In the past, these happened many years ago, even if they go to fight with Bruce now, it is impossible to change the past that has happened.

Dick knew that the top priority should be to save people. Bruce would say this, obviously because he knew that he had failed to save the innocent girls who were sacrificed. Even if it was his memory, he hoped that they could save them.

But his breath was light and heavy, and his voice was not so stable, obviously he was not as calm as he looked.

After a long silence, the ferocious spikes disintegrated into black mist again, rushing back into Rania's shadow.

She shook her head, watching the figures fighting in the hall: "I want to watch."

The hand on the shoulder was retracted, the footsteps gradually faded away, Rania did not look back, she watched the bloody figure fall down again and again, and stood up again and again, she heard the sound of bones breaking , heard the sound of internal organs bursting, the blood mixed with teeth and pieces of flesh sprayed out, splashing to her feet.

Why are you so persistent?Rania thought.

She's looking at Batman now, and she's looking at Bruce Wayne from years ago.

For a long time, Raniya only vaguely knew what Batman was doing. She knew that he was often injured, but that was all. It was her first time facing the path he had chosen, seeing him walking alone on a path she didn't understand so long ago.

Why do these?Rania thought.Doesn't he know he's only human?Why doesn't he back off, give up, run away when he's ridiculously risking his life in a fight that no one will know if he dies?

There are too many ordinary people who live in darkness, they can live like this, never touch the dark side of the world, don’t think about their current peace because of how many people stick to the edge of darkness, why can’t Bruce be like this ordinary people?She can protect him until he leaves the world. Even if he goes to the land of the dead, she will always remember him and let him exist forever in the land of the dead. Why can't he be an ordinary person?

Accompanied by a long wail, the monster like a mountain of meat lay at the edge of the pool, gradually losing its breath, and the figure by the pool was too tragic to see its original appearance, except for the familiar deep blue eyes, as if There's a soul in there looking for light in a dark tunnel.

Batman glanced at her, dragged his heavy body, and walked towards the black pool step by step. The blood stains covered the carvings on the side of the pool, and seemed to hit the decoration. He staggered and fell powerlessly towards the black pool.

The water in the pool connected the non-existent dimension, and his heartbeat was transmitted to the distant outer domain. The distant sea of ​​emptiness and fog finally took pity on this broken body and opened the door to the unknown for him.

Whether it was Dick and the others who went to rescue people, or Bruce who fell into the black pool, everyone was engulfed by the raging black fog and entered the sea of ​​emptiness hidden deep in Batman's memory.

Frenzy, chaos, darkness, the billowing black mist engulfed the hall, even if it was a memory, Raniya felt a familiar atmosphere, that kind of coldness and terror went deep into the bone marrow, and it was clearly engraved in the depths of her instinct.

Suddenly, Rania knew the answer she had been looking for.

This is where she was born, where she came from, and she is the evil and ominous bred by this chaotic womb. She has no connection with the human world. In the human world, she is only related to one person.

There is no time and no direction in the sea of ​​emptiness and fog. The black-haired girl stood quietly in the void without saying a word. Only the invisible sense of oppression slowly emanated from her, gradually increasing in this dimension.

Bruce coughed twice, struggled to get himself up, knelt down on one knee, and looked at Rania in the distance.

"This is how you were born." He said hoarsely, "This is the sea of ​​emptiness, a gestating womb of chaos, where no matter can exist. When I was dying, I entered this dimension, in the The core of the sea of ​​fog left its own blood. My genes polluted the unformed embryos, the discharged pollutants formed your flesh and blood body, and the polluted embryos formed your black mist body, and I just Ordinary people who strayed into Outland know nothing about your birth."

He stared deeply at the girl's pale face: "Now that you know the truth, Rania, what do you want to choose?"

It was never his choice. Bruce always knew that from the very beginning, Rania chose to stay. She didn't need her family, her father and brothers. From the very beginning, she could leave at any time.

For Batman, this move is actually taking a huge risk. Raniya's concept is actually not that close to human beings, and the obedience she showed at the beginning was not because of her yearning for her relatives. If she Knowing the truth of her birth, knowing that he is not actually her father, no one knows what she will do.

The black mist gradually gathered around Lania, and in contrast to it was the overflowing terrifying pressure. Her figure was faintly distorted in the darkness, and those blue eyes, like fireworks in the daytime, seemed to be stained with the surrounding chaotic atmosphere. Even though it is such a bright color, it looks gloomy and cold, as if it has merged with the sea of ​​emptiness and mist.

The icy breath rushed up her spine, and the slender fingers pressed the top of her head. The white-haired girl crawled out from behind her, let go of the arms around Lania's neck, and rose lightly upwards, with a light color like Yuehui Yingxue's long hair is fluttering, and the mist supports her body, wrapping around her arms and legs, leaving scorched and strange patterns, her eyes are as clear as spring water flowing with honey wine, and the pupils shrink into slender vertical lines, like tiny snakes swimming among them.

The queen of the void sea of ​​fog walked down her throne step by step, leaving black footprints in the air, exuding wisps of black mist. Her steps touched everyone's heartbeat, and she swayed in circles towards the boundless sea of ​​fog. open.

The black mist was entangled with each other, and a crescent-like pitch-black long knife emerged in her hand and was slowly held by her.

The white-haired girl walked towards Bruce, walked in front of him, raised her head slightly, and her honey-gold eyes met his.

Anyone who looked into her eyes could tell that she had made her choice.

The blade pierced through the black fog, and the pitch-black cracks tore through the sea of ​​fog, leaving clear traces on everyone's retinas.

Mist plunged the long knife into the sea of ​​fog, leaned on the long knife and knelt down on one knee, lowering her head.

"Father," she said.

——At this moment, she finally lowered her head, acknowledged his existence, respected and admired this resolute soul, and was willing to surrender to him and become his Shrike.
