Chapter 491: The Secret of the Claws
After being washed away by the current, Roy, Jason, and Damian finally ran aground in a sewer that they were all familiar with, like their back garden. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I thought ......," Damian said breathlessly, "to hang up......"
"I think I must smell bad now." Jason also said.
Roy breathed for a moment and said, "Although I am as tired as you, we must hurry up, they may still be chasing us." From here, based on the numbering system of the sewers, we can roughly tell that we should be under Kingston Cross, and we should be close to my stronghold in this direction......"
"I have a lot of questions to ask before I do that." Jason turned to Damian, "What are you doing there?" ”
"A claw found me on my night patrol and took me there...... He looks like a good guy. ”
"What? Do you have a rusty head? Jason exclaimed, "Did he give him a lollipop and you ran away with him?" ”
"Mind your foulmouth, Todd." Damian said unceremoniously, "Of course I can judge what kind of person he is, what kind of existence that court is, it's just ......"
"Just what?"
"Since my father ...... I can't remember exactly how many days it was a solitary night patrol since I passed away. He whispered, "I just...... I think maybe they are right, my father struggled all his life and the result was just that. I've been fighting just as he wants and giving up thinking on my own. But maybe...... Maybe it's the courts that the city really needs? ”
Roy sighed softly.
Not just Jason, but even Damian was affected by Bruce's death? Speaking of which, he felt that it was his responsibility again.
"Maybe there's something wrong with Bruce's approach, maybe the city really needs something else." Jason said coldly, "But it's not going to be a bunch of rich people who wrap themselves in old nursery rhymes." Also, this brings me to the next topic I'm going to talk about - explain, what is it that Batman didn't die? ”
Damian's gaze turned to Roy in astonishment.
"That's what Alfred meant." Roy said lightly, "I didn't expect this to be ...... to you It had such a big impact on his children. ”
He recounts how he rescued Batman from his hole on the day of the Joker incident, how Dionysian Factor repaired his brain, but lost that part of his memory of Batman, and now he himself is living a normal life in a child welfare center.
After listening to his narration in silence, Jason was the first to speak: "So, you decided the direction of his next life for him?" ”
"I said ......"
"Hell, you don't have the right to decide that, do you!?" Jason raised his voice suddenly, and his voice reflected one after another in the sewers, echoing almost across the road, "Although Batman's life is dark, it is his own decision, not for you, or even anyone including Ah Fu!" ”
Roy was silent for a long time, and said calmly, "Maybe you're right." ”
Jason turned, didn't say anything, and walked in the opposite direction to them.
"Acting alone now can be ...... by claws"
"Thank you for your concern, but I think I'm more credible." Jason said, already climbing up the nearest ladder.
Although Damian did not speak, his gaze also spoke for himself.
"Don't bother." Damian turned and walked over there, "I can take care of myself, and I know the way back." ”
"Soft tissue injuries, internal injuries from the impact of the explosion, concussions, dehydration, and ......physical exhaustion," Barbara looked at Roy sitting on a drip in her chair distressedly, "Can you make yourself worse?" Oh wait, don't answer me, I know you can ......"
"You just said how long I was missing?"
"Two days and two nights."
"A little shorter than I thought." Roy closed his eyes lightly and lay back, as if something was brewing.
After a long time, he spoke: "Xiaoba, I have something to tell you...... Something I've been hiding from you. While I think you might blame me for that, something has happened lately that makes me feel ...... You all need to know. ”
Seeing him so solemn, Barbara couldn't help but get nervous: "You dare to tell me that you, like Bruce, just picked up a biological son outside, and I punched you in the face." ”
Roy smiled lightly at her, "No, it's not...... It's Bruce. Bruce he ......"
"Still alive?" Barbara shrugged, "If that's what you're talking about, I already knew that." ”
This time it was Roy who was taken aback, and Barbara admired his expression proudly, and there were not many opportunities to scare him.
"How could you ......?"
"Please, you lied to me like a schoolboy who made a mistake." Barbara said, "Do you think I couldn't see when you lied to me that he was dead?" ”
"You...... Don't you blame me? ”
Barbara squeezed his hand gently.
"It's not like you lied to me even more, I really thought you joined the Assassin League to become a ninja boss." "But I trust you," she said softly. If you're going to lie to me, then it's going to be a lie, and I think I can take it. ”
Roy breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Xiaoba." ”
"Okay, you give me a good night's sleep now, you definitely need to rest......"
Roy shook his head, "No, it's not the time to sleep. You don't know what we see underground, in the territory of the courts. Every minute and second is urgent, they are coming, an army of claws, each of whom is almost immortal. Luckily, though, I may have found the key to dealing with the claws. ”
"What is it?"
"During the fight against the court, I had the opportunity to extract a little bit of bodily fluid from the claws using the needle on the fingertip of the glove." Roy said, "And I analyzed the equipment on my body at the same time, and found traces of a compound. This substance has the effect of bringing the dead back to life, but the corpse must be kept in special care. ”
"How?"
"The court has a deep connection to ancient Greece. In the ancient Greek period. People would place a coin before the body was buried as a toll to meet Hades. The coins used by the wealthy were sometimes made of amber gold, a highly conductive alloy of silver and copper, which was abundant in the body of the claw. Roy said, pausing slightly, "This happens to have a similarity with the technology that an old friend of ours was working on. ”
"Freeze man." Barbara, of course, remembers, "He studied similar resurrection techniques for many years in order to resurrect his wife." ”
"Not bad." "Whether he has anything to do with the court or not, he's an expert in the field." So I'm going to put off my bed, and I'm going to meet the freezer. (To be continued.) )
