[Comprehensive British and American] Family Matters

When Jason woke up, Lei Xiao O Gu was sitting at the end of his bed, slowly flipping through a book about life, death and reincarnation.

If the person in front of him is really Lei Xiao, then on the one hand, he has never been under house arrest, and on the other hand, he has found a way to escape without anyone noticing.If it's the latter, Jason hopes he hasn't hurt Thalia.From Thalia talking about Ray Shaw's expression, and her refusal to detail the process of bringing down Ray Shaw to himself, Jason could see that Thalia still loved his father, so she chose house arrest instead of Just kill Lei Xiao directly.

Jason didn't think too much about it. Although he didn't have a good impression of Lei Xiao Ao Gu, Thalia was Lei Xiao's biological daughter. If Lei Xiao was really crazy enough to attack Talia, then Regardless of whether this person is known as the head of the devil or the devil himself, Jason will not let him go.

But before making a decision, Jason must first find a way to get out of trouble.He carefully observed his surroundings, trying to figure out where he was.If Lei Xiao can be made to speak on his own initiative, then maybe he can get some useful information from just a few words, such as——

"You are in Aisa Erasoban, the city of the Assassin's League." Lei Xiao said without raising his head, and turned the book in his hand. Miniature. Your mother and younger brother were both born in this city, and if there were no accidents in between, you should have been born here too."

Jason stared at Lei Xiao, not sure what the old monster was up to.He seemed to be quite confident. Jason didn't know where this confidence came from. Maybe it was Lei Xiao's confidence in his own force, or he held a bargaining chip that could threaten Jason.Whatever it was, Jason didn't intend to let his guard down in front of Lei Xiao.

"I think I should say 'Welcome home', Jason." Reshaw looked up from the book, just in time to meet Jason's examining gaze and the sneer on his lips.

"Thank you for your warm explanation, but I'm afraid I don't feel the warmth of home." Jason pointed to the room he was in, although he had to admit that the room was a bit too comfortable for the prisoners, "You know, what are the prisoners doing?" of."

Lei Xiao shook his head, put the book in his hand on the low table beside him, got up and smoothed the wrinkles on his robe, and stretched out his hand to Jason: "You are not my prisoner, although we have met several times Quite... Not ideal, but I believe you will gradually discover that the Ou Gu family is not as cold-blooded and ruthless as the outside world believes, and we really value our family members who are connected by blood."

Jason looked at Lei Xiao's outstretched hand, but he didn't accept it after all. Instead, he got out of bed slowly and supported the wall to stabilize himself.No matter how he was brought here, judging from his current state of weakness, staring at every movement, it is definitely not a gentle way.

Lei Xiao was not angry at Jason's silent refusal.He withdrew his hand, waited patiently for Jason to stand firm, and led Jason to the terrace.

Jason hesitated for a moment, but considering that Lei Xiao didn't chop himself up with a single knife while he was asleep, he probably wouldn't take this opportunity to push him downstairs, and then he came to the balcony railing and leaned out look down -

"My God!" Jason had imagined what this "Assassin League city" would be like.In Jason's imagination, it should be gloomy and bloody, full of chilling aura, and from time to time, someone would drag a corpse on the ground and pull a bloodstain on the ground.

But here completely subverted his imagination.

As far as the eye can see, there is a whole complex of high and low buildings, with a classical West Asian style, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians on the street. There is a place similar to a market a little farther away, which looks extremely lively.And those people walking on the street are not all assassins, many of them are ordinary people, and of course there are assassins, but the two groups of people who should be clearly distinct pass by here without any taboo.

There is a statue of Reshaw in the center of the city. At the top of the statue is a giant luminous sphere. The statue holds this sphere of light high in both hands and illuminates the whole city—ah, this city of assassins is buried deep in the Underground, where the sky should have been, now only gray stone walls can be vaguely seen. To this city, Reshaw is like Prometheus who brought the light of fire to mankind, except that he does not need to be locked up. He was tortured every day on the mountain wall, but sat high in the city to accept worship.Jason originally wanted to complain about him, but considering that this is the city created by Lei Xiao, it is not too much for him to put up a statue.

It's just that Jason always felt that there was something wrong with the statue.

is it the location?But putting statues in the middle of the city is not a unique plan either.

Before Jason could come up with an answer, Lei Xiao interrupted his thoughts: "It's quite spectacular. This city has a complete economic system and is self-sufficient. This is my expectation for this world, a perfect paradise .”

"Yes, I really didn't think that there would be such a city underground." Jason admitted this honestly. Lei Xiao relied on the Lazarus Pond to gain a long life, and it was inevitable to make some unimaginable actions , "But I don't believe in any eternal paradise. Life is a mess. We can only learn from the chaos those things worth remembering."

"You're still young, Jason. There are still many things you don't understand, which I can understand." Ray Shaw didn't get angry at Jason's objections, in fact he looked like an ordinary grandpa, listening tolerantly to the naive grandson comments on things he doesn't understand.

This made Jason shudder.Even if he was beaten to death, he would not believe that Lei Xiao kidnapped him in broad daylight, just to show him his "hometown" and cultivate feelings, and it wasn't because of Thanksgiving or Christmas.

"That's enough, what do you want, Lei Xiao?" Jason turned around, leaning against the railing, looking straight into Lei Xiao's eyes, "It doesn't matter if you don't need to work so hard to be a good grandpa, just say you Want something."

"Oh, you think I'm acting." Lei Xiao nodded knowingly, "Why do you think so? I'm just curious."

"Isn't it?" Jason spread his hand towards Lei Xiao, "Not long ago, you almost killed my mother because she used your precious pool to cure me. I went straight to your green hot spring It’s no wonder you don’t want to strangle me after soaking once! I’ll leave it at that, I don’t want to soak in your hot spring again, so... If you’re here to charge, tell me, what do you want from me? "

"I admit that I felt betrayed when I found out that Thalia gave you access to the Lazarus Pool. And you must have felt the pain of being betrayed by someone you thought should respect and love you." Rashaw didn't say so, but Jason knew he was referring to the Sheila Heywood and the Joker thing.

Even though he already knew that Sheila was not his mother, Jason still felt a pang in his chest when he thought about it.After all, at that moment, at that moment, Sheila was the mother Jason was looking for, and he was betrayed by blood-related relatives.

"But even in my rage, I didn't kill Thalia, I didn't even hurt her. I can assure you, Jason, if someone else did this to me, I would make him suffer Pain." When Lei Xiao talked about making others live or die, he was still a gentle and kind person, as if he was talking about innocuous topics such as the weather, "Talia is my daughter, I know her well, and I clearly understand her deep love for your father—for the detective."

"I used to think you were a trophy that Thalia took in to please the detective, a gift. When she cured you and sent you back to your father, the detective would be moved by it and accept her again." Ray Xiao looked at the distance of the city, as if he was looking at the distant past, "Don't look at your mother who is always cold and indifferent, but in fact she is a child full of lust, too strong love and too strong love. Her hatred and incomparable persistence. Her deep affection for the detective cannot be questioned, but your father is not the kind of person who would stop for her."

Jason had to agree with Reshaw's assessment of Bruce.Bruce loves his family, but Batman loves Gotham even more.Bruce and Batman are inseparable. As Bruce's father, he can give everything for his children, but as a dark knight, Batman must stick to the justice he believes in.

So Bruce will cross the universe to find Jason, but Batman will not kill the Joker for Jason.

It can be said that as long as Thalia is still in touch with the League of Assassins, Bruce will not officially accept her into Wayne's house.Whether he kept in touch with Thalia in private, Jason is unknown, but as Batman, he will not make the decision to hold hands with the League of Assassins as a family.

The positions of the two of them are destined to be a love with no future than Romeo and Juliet.

"But when I found out that Thalia was willing to take the risk of angering me for you - I assure you, my anger, especially the anger that has just been baptized in Lazarus Pool, is not a joke." Reshaw He glanced at Jason as if warning, and quickly turned away to look at the people below, "I began to suspect that you are not just a way to please the detective to Thalia, but... a more important existence , so I started probing, and found a little lie that I hadn't been aware of before."

"Ah, so are you planning to say that you were voluntarily placed under house arrest because of your love for your daughter or some other reason?" Jason looked at Lei Xiao provocatively. He had to try the other party's bottom line to find out about himself. What is the value in Lei Xiao's eyes, "You are really a fatherly heart, I am so touched."

"You can say that. I know that Thalia will entrust you to someone trustworthy for your safety. There are not many people in this world that Thalia can trust with all her heart. A detective is one, but you and I You all know that if she sent you back to the detective, I would have noticed it immediately." Lei Xiao turned around and looked at Jason's empty hands. Possibly Dakla, the mother of the great castes."

"But the big caste was slaughtered by Wuming." Jason responded coldly, and the blade of the big caste appeared in his hand, "And you want to tell me that you have nothing to do with Wuming? As far as I know, you are not super Humans, Lei Xiao. That mist is not a magical skill that can be practiced by living a few hundred years longer, it is some kind of evil existence-the blade of the great caste can only be unsheathed in the face of evil."

Rashaw didn't seem at all frightened or angry at being threatened, and he even looked a little amused.

"Dakla told you about the thousand-year entanglement between the big caste and the nameless, right? No surprise, she always likes to tell these stories to every audience, but I have a question for you." Reshaw approached Jason , until the tip of the big caste blade touched his chest, "How much do you know about the big caste? How did the nameless come about? Why did the big caste start to fight against the nameless? Did Dakla tell you this story?"

Jason bit his lower lip and said nothing.

He really didn't know.
