[Comprehensive] The Last Assassin

For Dick Grayson, fighting crime and maintaining justice is a lifelong dream.Bruce Wayne turned him from an Avenger back into a son, and then he went from Batman's sidekick Robin to Nightwing.His identity has changed several times, but his ideal of protecting the hope in people's hearts in this dark world has not changed at all.

He stopped Shen Qiong in order to get more information from Bernard, and it is not yet time for a decisive battle.

But he never thought that his hesitation would ruin the life of another innocent monk.

"This is the usual style of the Templars." Shen Qiong said coldly, "Do you think they are honest and kind monks who call them the 'Father of Cognition'? For the so-called perfection, let alone kill a person, Even if the earth's population is reduced to one-tenth, they can do it."

Dick Grayson fell silent.

Shen Qiong can feel remorse and self-blame from him, even though he has concealed it, but Dick is usually a sunny young man, and the silence for no reason at this moment is enough for Shen Qiong to perceive his innermost feelings Shake violently.

So Shen Qiong said: "You know the Exorcism Holy Order, you know the Black Cross."

"But you don't know who I am, and you even wanted to protect Lamarlock, so in fact you don't know anything about the Templars." Shen Qiong stirred the iced lemon tea in her glass, thinking it was very interesting, "I'm curious. The Exorcist Holy Order is an internal secret that the Templars may not even know. How come you don't know about the Temple, but know about the Black Cross?"

"We have to be honest, otherwise Wood is by no means the last victim."

It seemed that Brother Wood's name touched the young man, Dick Grayson gritted his teeth, and handed Shen Qiong the previously hidden information.

He stared at Shen Qiong, like a warning, but also like a supplementary explanation, and said softly: "This is my brother who should 'die'."

Shen Qiong took the few pieces of paper, and quickly scanned the first line.

As she had guessed before, these papers were scattered personal documents. The color photo was printed in the upper left corner of the document. Has blue eyes, and appears to be rather "difficult".

Shen Qiong carefully looked at the people in the photo, then looked at the names filled in the information, and said uncertainly: "I'm sorry, your brother has a different last name than yours? Besides the color of your hair and eyes, you both seem to be— ?”

"We are both adopted sons of Mr. Wayne, although we didn't announce it to the public." Dick pursed his lips, and there was no hesitation in his blue eyes, "but he is my younger brother."

Shen Qiong shut up, big families always have such secrets, just like she is Warren Worthington's sister.She swept down, but the more she looked, the more she couldn't help being surprised.

According to the data, this young man named Jason Toth died in an explosion at the age of 16. At that time, the head of the exorcism Holy Order rescued him and soaked him in the mysterious "black water" inside the order. Restored his physiology and thus "resurrected".And thus became the apprentice of the grand master, was introduced into the inner temple, joined the twelve knights of the round table, and became a member of the templar at the same time.

This information is obviously the investigation of Jason Toth by the Knights Templar, and there is even a key comment by Bernard at the end.

——Extremely dangerous and needs to be eradicated.

"I...can't let Bernard die." Dick whispered, "He's the only one who knows Jason's whereabouts."

Shen Qiong thought more.

Obviously, Dick Grayson's brother, as a backup who was rescued and cultivated by the head of the Exorcist Holy Order, must represent the power of the Exorcist Holy Order.However, as one of the high-ranking Templars, Bernard would think such a person was dangerous. What does it mean?

——The inner sanctuary of the Knights Templar has cracks.

Perhaps the black and red cross on their necklines is the best proof.

Shen Qiong returned the information to Dick and asked, "What are you going to do, press Bernard about your brother's whereabouts?"

"I can't pretend that I didn't see anything." Dick Grayson said, "I've been looking for the Black Cross for a long time. Why do you think I showed up at the banquet in Lanmallock?"

"Because I got news that there will be a black cross at this banquet."

"So I killed Ranmallock, which is actually tantamount to killing your clue." Shen Qiong finally understood why Dick was so obsessed with himself, "That night, we saw the members of the Exorcist Holy Order assassinated by Bernard, so you Turned the target from me to Bernard."

"You stopped me because of this clue."

Dick pursed his lips: "But I never thought he would kill Brother Wood."

"I never thought that he would dare to kill people in the church." Shen Qiong was silent for a moment, "It's useless to talk about it now, and then we will get what we need."

"I need to find the Pieces of Eden, and you ask your brother."

"—but the key to everything." The assassin's fingertips fluttered with a small knife and slammed into the apple on the table. "We need to catch Bernard first."

Bernard is very cunning, and he himself is also a heroic fighter. One of his brilliant resumes is that the bishop went deep into the battlefield with the army, and he helped the soldiers on the battlefield. Sin, and fight with soldiers in critical moments.

Face to face, Shen Qiong did not have the certainty of defeating Bernard, so she retreated when they met for the first time.

The second dark tunnel was a perfect opportunity, but this opportunity was blocked by Dick.

Fortunately, Brother Wood "disappeared". As the archbishop present, Bernard must not be able to continue to practice, and he needed to appear in front of everyone to organize work.With him appearing in the front, Shen Qiong and Dick still have a goal, not completely helpless.

"We took his information and covered the body with a white cloth. It's only a matter of time before he realizes our existence." Shen Qiong shrugged, "We have to hurry up."

Dick estimated the time and said to Shen Qiong: "Wood's body cannot be kept for long, Bernard must go back and deal with it."

"But not now, I guess he will leave it for two days, wait until the wound is almost rotten, and then play in the chaotic neighborhood, push three, five, six." Shen Qiong said, "So we still have two days left."

"Two days is enough." Dick said, "I'll go back and ask my friend to process the pictures taken in the prison, how about you?"

Shen Qiong touched the research notebook she had brought back: "I also need to see a friend, so see you tomorrow, and I will find you tomorrow?"

Dick also seemed to feel that being on Bernard's territory was somewhat dangerous, especially now that two people had died in a row, Bernard would definitely be more vigilant.So he wrote his apartment address to Shen Qiong, and said: "I may be a little late. If you finish your own affairs first, you must wait for me to come back, and don't act without authorization."

Shen Qiong could see that he attached great importance to his brother's whereabouts, and had no intention of opposing him on this point. After accepting the address and combination lock, she nodded and said, "No problem."

That night, Shen Qiong rushed back to New York overnight.

She calls Jarvis to open the door and drags Tony out of his bed abruptly.

Mr. Tony Stark, who got up very angry, almost couldn't hold back his restraint and yelled, but all his anger stopped when Shen Qiong opened the research notes in front of him with a snap.

His eyes stayed on the "animus" for a while, then he grabbed the notes in Shen Qiong's hand, called Jarvis to turn on the light, and then sat on the bed staring at the manual and flipped through it.

Shen Qiong knelt and sat on the other corner of his bed, instead of poking her head to see his progress.

"Miss Fry, would you like some biscuits? Following your suggestion, this is a new cooking skill I downloaded from the Internet."

When Shen Qiong waited for some time to do nothing, Jarvis thoughtfully used the biscuits and milk brought to her by the robot.Shen Qiong tasted a piece of cranberry biscuit, and couldn't help giving Jarvis a thumbs-up. The AI ​​housekeeper accepted Shen Qiong's thanks, and the flat male voice seemed to add a bit of human-like happiness.

Just when Shen Qiong and Jarvis were getting along happily, Tony suddenly opened his mouth and asked seriously: "Joan, where did you get this notebook?"

Shen Qiong stopped chewing biscuits, and she said honestly: "The study room in the underground prison should belong to Bernard?"

"This is not Bernard's stuff." Tony mocked, "He doesn't have the brains to research this kind of thing at all!"

Seeing Tony's serious expression, Shen Qiong couldn't help asking curiously, "What the hell is this?"

Tony eased his emotions for a while, and his eyes were heavy: "rgo company once had a project called 'Sophia', which mainly studied the transmission of cell information and genetic memory in order to bring about medical innovation. But later this project was stopped, and they passed This project has spawned other things, similar to electronic products such as sports wristbands that can read genetic fitness."

Shen Qiong frowned: "What does this have to do with this notebook?"

"Yes." Tony patted the notebook, "It's still very important."

"The first half of this notebook records the prototype of 'Project Sophia', or in other words, the real purpose of their genetic memory transmission research."

"—the so-called retrospective."

As an ability user who can manipulate time, Shen Qiong's heart subconsciously paused when she heard these words.But she still kept her face calm and asked: "Back in the past?"

"Yes, trace the memory of your ancestors through genetic transmission." Tony Stark said indifferently, "If this machine is successfully developed, it will allow you to re-experience the life of your ancestors."

Shen Qiong was startled, and subconsciously said: "Experience other people's lives? Wouldn't it hurt me?"

"Of course." Tony's eyes flickered, "This is the content of the second half of this notebook."

"'Bleeding Effect'."

Tony Stark looked at the test subject number recorded on the paper with pity: "That's what they call this terrible result of hallucinations and further mental madness due to experiencing the ancestors' past."
