[Comprehensive] The Last Assassin

Dick's apartment was chosen by himself.

The window was bright, and the sunlight poured in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, just like his impression.

Bruce Wayne came to Dick's "home" for the first time since Dick left the Batcave.With Bruce Wayne's character, if the child grows up and flies solo and refuses to accept it, then don't care - this time if Barbara hadn't told him that Dick might have found the news about Jason Toth, Bruce Wayne probably He didn't come to Boston on purpose to meet his adopted son who left home.

"Have you had your lunch, sir?"

When Bruce Wayne raised his head upon hearing the sound, he could see Shen Qiong blinking and asking him in a normal way.Bruce wanted to say "I don't need to thank you", but considering that the other party was his adopted son... friend, he chose to express his kindness as much as possible and accept the other party's kindness.

For this reason, he even lowered his voice: "Thank you, no."

Shen Qiong paused for a moment.She originally thought that this uncle, who seemed very difficult to mess with, would say "no thanks"!She didn't want to give away any of those three buckets of instant noodles!Why didn't he speak the lines according to the script?

Shen Qiong was indignant, but the question had already been asked, so it would not be appropriate to look back at this time.Ten thousand steps back, the owner of these three buckets of instant noodles is Dick Grayson, she has no reason at all not to allow his father to eat instant noodles, right?

Shen Qiong sighed, and somewhat melancholy distributed the three buckets of instant noodles in the kitchen to this black-haired and blue-eyed man.

Bruce Wayne fully expected that the girl would serve him a nutritious meal from the kitchen, or a steak at worst.So when he saw the instant noodles in front of him, he involuntarily crossed a piece of "...".

It's okay, kids don't take care of themselves when they're young.

Bruce Wayne convinced himself so, raised his fork and sank himself into the sofa in the living room to eat noodles in silence.

Shen Qiong was sitting opposite him, her emerald eyes rolled around to look at Bruce Wayne.The billionaire looks more sedate and physically fit than on TV.Shen Qiong can hardly feel that he has entered middle age, the strength and explosiveness hidden in his body are the limit of human beings that Shen Qiong has ever seen.She estimated the strength of the enemy and us in her mind, and had to admit with regret—she couldn't beat Dick Grayson's adoptive father.

Having such an adoptive father may also explain why Dick, as the adopted son of a rich man, turned out to be floating in the night sky as a vigilante in his hobby.After all, Bruce Wayne doesn't look as useless as he appears.

Shen Qiong raised the corners of her mouth with great interest. If there was no evidence, she would almost doubt whether Mr. Bruce Wayne, like his adopted son, had a hobby of wandering at night, and gave himself an alias to work in a certain city vigilante.

However, before she could think more, Bruce Wayne had already put down the spoon, looked up at Shen Qiong who had stuffed his mouth full of instant noodles, and hesitated to speak.

Shen Qiong tilted her head, quickly swallowed the food in her mouth, and asked politely: "What do you want to ask me?"

Bruce Wayne was a little surprised by Shen Qiong's sensitivity to emotions, he hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Here, I mean Dick Grayson, he allowed you to stay in the his home?"

Shen Qiong thought about Dick's advice, and said affirmatively, "He asked me to wait for him here."

Bruce Wayne's expression became more subtle in an instant. He paused for a while. Although he was a little impolite, he still felt the need to ask, so he asked, "How much do you know about Dick?"

Shen Qiong didn't quite understand why Dick's adoptive father would ask how much she knew about him, so she could only try to be as vague as possible: "Not much, I just know that he nicknamed himself 'Night Wing'."

Bruce Wayne: "????"

Shen Qiong didn't understand why the expression of this gentleman who seemed to have gone through countless storms suddenly changed with just such an ordinary sentence. She could only ask the most direct question: "Didn't he tell you?"

Bruce Wayne looked complicated, and he said after a while, "No, I know about the name."

"I just didn't expect...he even told you that."

Shen Qiong thought to herself, I didn't force him to ask this question, he said it himself, and I won't take the blame for it.

Bruce Wayne clasped his hands on both sides of the sofa, he looked at Shen Qiong again, and said slowly: "Can I ask what your name is?"

Shen Qiong subconsciously said: "Joan Frye."

Bruce Wayne nodded and smiled at her, but Shen Qiong felt that it was better for him not to smile.He said to Shen Qiong: "Dick is a very independent and excellent kid. I can't do much for him. Since he trusts you, I hope you can help him more."

Shen Qiong saw Henry's shadow from Bruce Wayne for some reason, and she couldn't help thinking that if Henry saw her friend, he might say the same.So she nodded and solemnly promised, "I will protect him."

Bruce Wayne didn't take it seriously: "It's he who should protect you."

Before Shen Qiong could answer, Dick's voice suddenly came from the entrance.

The black-haired and blue-eyed young man's voice was exhausted: "—Fry, have you arrived yet?"

He put down his keys and changed his shoes, and complained as he walked towards the living room: "Did you touch my face? Hey, that's a special product my friend brought back for me!"

However, Dick's voice seemed to be choked when he saw Bruce Wayne, surprise flashed in his blue eyes, and then he coughed and greeted his adoptive father solemnly: "Hi, Bruce. "

He looked a little nervous: "Why are you here?"

Bruce Wayne's blue eyes similar to those of his adopted son burst into a smile. He glanced at Shen Qiong who was sitting on the sofa holding Dick's "specialty" and feasting on it. Then he turned to Dick, nodded to him and said: "Come on!" Look at you, and ask about Jason by the way."

Speaking of Jason, Dick's expression was a little serious for a moment, he frowned and said, "You're busy enough, you know, you met him before, and he almost—" Dick rarely refused Bruce Wayne's request, But this time he said firmly: "I can solve this matter, Gotham needs you, and you have no skills."

He emphasized: "You promised me."

Bruce Wayne has always been a mess when it comes to dealing with feelings, like now, he just needs to say "I'm just a little worried about you" to resolve the tension lingering between him and Dick, but he doesn't say a word Hair, it seems that he is silently dissatisfied with his adopted son.

"Bah-"

Shen Qiong drank all the lemon tea in her hand, and the straw made a sound of running out of drinks, and the stalemate was instantly broken.The two looked at the voice at the same time.Seeing two black-haired and blue-eyed men looking at her at the same time, Shen Qiong let go of the straw and asked uncertainly, "Do you want a cup of lemon tea too?"

Dick didn't know why he suddenly let go of his breath. He said to Shen Qiong, "What you are drinking now is also a gift from my friend."

Shen Qiong curled her lips and said in a low voice, "Stingy."

Dick: "...?" Me?Cheapskate?Whose food are you eating now?

"Dick, won't you introduce me?"

When Dick heard this, he just remembered that he really wanted to explain to Bruce Wayne that Shen Qiong had appeared in his home.But he didn't know how to introduce it for a while.

suspect?Frye will do it.Cooperative partner?It seems too indifferent.

Dick thought for a moment, and chose the safest way to say: "Aleena Frye, my...friend."

However, Bruce Wayne's eyebrows moved slightly, he looked at Dick, and confirmed with him again: "Elena?"

Shen Qiong suddenly remembered the fake identity Tony had given her, but at this time she obviously had to tell herself, so she chose to lower her head slightly and be as quiet as a chicken.

But in the eyes of others, it is obviously not a guilty conscience, but another emotion.

Dick nodded: "Yes, she is a transfer student from the Seminary this semester."

"Elena." Bruce Wayne smiled genuinely this time, he reached out and patted Dick's shoulder, "Very good name, protect her."

Dick: "...?"

He said ignorantly, "I will."

Shen Qiong continued to be as quiet as a chicken.

Bruce Wayne asked Dick something about Jason Todt and left Boston for Gotham.Dick watched his leaving back and heaved a sigh of relief, but Shen Qiong looked at him, but felt that there was loneliness hidden in Panasonic's tone.

Shen Qiong couldn't help recalling the first time she met Dick in school. He said sincerely to others, "I don't want to disappoint Mr. Wayne."——Shen Qiong felt that maybe the previous words were just perfunctory excuses, but this sentence really made a difference. from his heart.

"Have your results come out yet?"

Shen Qiong's words called Dick back, the young man turned around, reached out to take the lemon tea thrown by Shen Qiong, inserted the straw and before he had time to take a sip, he nodded to Shen Qiong and said: "You come with me, the problem is a bit serious."

Shen Qiong followed Dick to his study, and Dick pressed the button on the wall of the study, and the original blue study room became a black reference room in an instant.

Dick copied the data to the computer and displayed it on the large screen on the entire wall, with a grim expression.

"These Latin texts, including the mysterious lines left on the walls, seem very chaotic and incoherent, but they all refer to the same thing." Dick looked at the treasures displayed on the screen with blue eyes .

He pursed his lips and said, "All point to 'Pieces of Eden'."

"The 'Piece of Eden' is a powerful treasure that transcends common sense and can be classified as the 'Magic Domain'. It is certain that Bernard is looking for such a thing."

The black-haired, blue-eyed young man has never been so serious, he said to Shen Qiong: "The notebook you took away - the 'animus' project, my friend hacked into Bernard's database and found out that it is a project to trace genetic memory , Those people we met in the underground prison are probably the test subjects of this plan."

Shen Qiong's pupils condensed, and she said slowly: "Not only that, but those test subjects are probably descendants of assassins."

"The so-called 'animus', the reason why the descendants of the assassins were chosen for the experiment..." The assassin's eyes were like frozen lakes, "The Templars wanted to trace the memories of these master assassins who had fought for the Pieces of Eden, Looking for the 'Piece of Eden' lost in history." Dick nodded: "Indeed, my friend has investigated the only remaining information on the Piece of Eden. The power of this treasure is immeasurable, and it must not be brought back to light .”

Shen Qiong carefully recalled the conversation she heard that night, and said indifferently to Dick: "It's late."

"Bernard already has a piece in his hand." She pursed her lips tightly, "and we don't know anything about the power of this piece."

This is really the worst case scenario.
