Chapter 1711: Bruce Wayne and the Chamber of Secrets (8)
After Harley and Helen finished Loki's class, they wanted to go back to the dormitory to rest for a while, mainly because Harley needed a break, and they could take a twenty-minute nap before going to other classes, so that they would have enough time to look up information at noon.
Harley yawned as she walked to her bedroom, but her vision was blurred to the point where she saw a figure rushing out at the end of the hallway, a girl with a cape, who looked a little older than Harley, with a wand in her hand and a magical glow on her hand.
"Hallie! Be careful! Helen exclaimed.
Harley instinctively turned to one side, and a magical light struck the wall behind her.
In an instant, the white-blonde girl looked fierce, she lifted her lips like a beast and bared her fangs at the attacker, rolled on the spot to dodge the second magic light, and rushed in front of the attacker with great speed.
In the next second, the girl who attacked Harley was grabbed by the wrist, and Harley, who was inspired to be the most aggressive in exhaustion, grabbed her wrist and stabbed her eyeball directly with a sharp wand.
"Ahhhh!!!h
A scream of pain sounded, and Harley was still clutching her wand, and even planned to pierce the other party's brain directly, but fortunately, Helen rushed up in time to grab Harley, and by this time Barry had already rushed to the staircase.
"Hallie! Are you alright?! β
As if Harley had just come to her senses, she slowly let go of her hand, didn't even look at the girl who was screaming with her eyeballs, sighed a little tiredly, shook her head and said, "No, I'm fine." β
Then, she turned to look at the attacker, and with some disgust, she squeezed a hiss out of her throat and cursed, "Waste." β
Barry and Helen were stunned, they had never seen this side of Harley before, and Jennifer, who was standing on the first step of the stairwell, stopped taking a step up, hesitated for a moment, and then turned and ran.
Barry glanced back, but didn't see Jennifer, so he said, "Hold her, the professor should be there later." β
Sure enough, Loki hurried over with a bunch of students, and when he saw the student with the wand still in his eye socket and the student lying on the ground wailing, he was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Is this someone sticking a wand into his eye again?" I've heard that another student is going crazy and wants to attack someone, but what about the victim? β
Helen lunged over and tugged at Loki's sleeve, Loki bent down, Helen whispered in his ear, and then frowned deeper and deeper.
Loki bypassed the children and knelt down to check on the injured man, and Harley leaned against the window with her arms in her arms, without the slightest awareness of the victim, her eyes falling on the eyes of the assailant who was still struggling on the ground.
One of the attackers' eyeballs had undoubtedly been pierced, and it was absolutely impossible to save it, maybe magic could reshape one for her, but the original one was definitely unusable, but to Harry's surprise, there was the madness revealed in the intact eyeball.
She was indeed insane, Harley was sure, but the madness was not hers, she was just a wretched creature who had been manipulated and had seduced her with madness and imposed it on her, not like Hallie, where madness was buried deep in her heart and only occasionally showed its sharp corners.
Harley lowered her eyes and thought that every Gotham was like a monster in human skin, and that the cold rain of countless nights had already made the things under their human skin chaotic and unfamiliar, in short, it had nothing to do with people, more like a collection of madness.
Finally, the school doctor and other archmages gathered around to ask about Harley's situation, and Harley's smart and sharp little head turned slightly, immediately lowered her head, and said in a victim attitude: "I'm sorry, my parents died relatively early, I grew up among those relatives who wanted to fight for the inheritance, my self-defense psychology is relatively heavy, sometimes I will attack others when stimulated, I really didn't mean to." β
Master Song, the leader, immediately showed a sympathetic expression, she gently stroked Harley's head, held her in her arms and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, child, no one is allowed to hurt others unscrupulously in this academy, we will soon figure out what happened, and everything will be fine." β
But nothing is going well.
After the last compulsory class, a boy who didn't look to be in the fourth grade rushed into Lan Ling's class, and he shouted in horror, "In the corridor on the third floor, the third floor!" Someone wrote on the wall! β
From Bruce's slightly unreal perspective, everyone left the room with a hula in turn, led by the parasite that was living in the human body, and they rushed towards the scene of the incident.
He was a parasite, and Bruce could see that those horrible filthy factors were parasitic on a human who might be an agent, how could they allow such a creature to appear in the school and become a professor in a grand manner?
For the first time, a sense of disgust and crisis came to Bruce's mind, he had never realized that he had such malice towards something that was not human.
Under Barry's drag, Bruce followed the crowd into the hallway, and then saw a strange and chaotic line of text on the wall of the corridor on the third floor of the teaching building.
It wasn't any known language, but little Bruce clearly understood that everyone in the room could read it regardless of nationality, race, or level of educationβ
"The door of the secret room has been opened, those who are enemies of the heir, be careful!"
Bruce couldn't understand the language of the people around him, and he thought that he might be angry because of the language barrier, so he didn't stop any longer, and pulled Barry out of the hallway.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Bruce? Since you just woke up, you seem to be distraught, are you okay? Barry asked after Bruce Jr.
"I'm fine, but I have to go to the library now, and I'm going to spend a day and a night learning Chinese and Japanese, and I'm fed up with the language barrier."
Barry didn't know for a moment whether Bruce's unwarranted anger or his statement that he was going to spend a day learning two languages was more surprising.
"Something strange happened."
In the cafeteria at Kama Maj College, Helen gently flicked the glittering grains on the surface of the rice with her chopsticks, and said with a little concern, "Like I said, the elephant is in the room, but no one notices." β
"What do you think that means?"
Hallie asked, with a pan-fried saury on her plate, clearly Japanese, and in between the two of them were some Chinese dishes, all simple home-style stir-fries, described in detail as a combination of a random vegetable and meat to cook it in a light flavor.
But in fact, neither Helen nor Hallie can be called light in taste, the two of them have in common in taste that they are not happy without meat, and frying and frying is the best, but neither of them is in the mood to eat now, so they take some dishes at random.
"First of all, and most obviously, what exactly is a secret room? A secret room? Why was the Chamber of Secrets opened? What's in there? Who is the successor? And who needs to be careful? β
Harley paused with her chopsticks, and she analyzed as rationally as she could: "There must be something to do with this line of comments on the wall when a student goes crazy and attacks others, this is one thing." β
"From what we know, the question we need to analyze is whether this has anything to do with the book in the bottom drawer of our bedroom closet."
"Absolutely." Helen was sure that her fledgling conspiracy mind was perfecting at a breakneck pace, and she was almost absorbing Harley's wisdom and keeping up with her train of thought at an astonishing rate.
"We just started to study this book, and strange things happened one after another, and no one would believe it if it didn't matter, but we didn't open the book, how did the elephant escape?"
Faced with this question, Hallie was silent, then she looked up at Helen and said, "You're Rocky Odinson's daughter, right?" β
Helen nodded, it was an obvious fact, because the two of them looked so alike, even if she wanted to deny it, the appearance was ironclad.
"Then in this academy, I'm afraid that you are the only person who can be called the inheritor, you have royal blood, don't you?"
"But I'm not going to inherit Asgard."
"Won't you?"
Helen paused slightly, and then said: "First of all, my background is a bit bizarre, I do have the royal blood of Asgard, and even the power of this god king, but my other father...... He probably doesn't want me to be the Empress of Asgard. β
"Does he have what it takes to stop it?" Harley is hinting at Asgard's strength.
"Absolutely." Helen was hinting at the strength of her other father, but she still asked with some hesitation, "If I am the heir referred to in this sentence, then who is against me?" And why do you want to do so much in school? β
"We're looking into that."
While the two were talking, a student came over with a plate, but when he got to the table where the two girls were, he turned around and did not choose the nearest path, and the students behind him were the same.
Obviously, Harley is not the only one who thinks that Helen, who has Asgardian royal blood, is the heir, but there is a real throne to inherit in her family, she is not the heir, who else can be?
But there were exceptions, Sirila took the initiative to sit opposite Helen, next to Harley, she looked Helen in the eye and said, "Don't worry too much, your father and the other professors will take care of everything." β
"I don't feel like I'm an heir." Helen shook her head lightly and said, "It is precisely because the direction is so obvious that all this may be a trick, I would never have thought of it before, but now it is clear and sharp. β
"The upcoming intramural competition will add fuel to all this chaos." Harley asserted, "There will be more and more students responding to the Demon God, even if the Supreme Mage is here, the Demon God will not dare to really do anything, but if the phase is incompatible or the strength is out of balance, it will definitely cause even more chaos." β
"Why the hell is this happening?" Helen seemed a little detached, her mind was full of the font on the Necronomicon book, and in her imagination, she opened the book and saw an elephant right now, in this room.
Do you have to open a book to see something that ordinary people can't see?
The moment the dangerous thought came to her, Helen kicked it out of her mind, took a deep breath, and returned to her bedroom with Harley, throwing herself into the soft queen bed, and then falling asleep in a slightly confused state of mind.
After she fell asleep, Harley crouched down, opened the drawer, and took out the big black book that revealed weirdness and horror.
Her fingers reached between the heavy cover and the first page, and with a slight shard of her knuckles, the book was opened.
