Chapter 1723
"Let's not talk about this first." Constantine stretched out a hand to stop Schiller from what he was about to say next. He raised his tone and said, "Isn't this plan of yours a bit too... too..."
Constantine struggled for a long time, and the only vocabulary he could think of was "too Schiller."
And at the same time, everyone's eyes also shifted from Schiller to Bruce. The meaning of that expression was probably "You should say something now, but I suggest you don't say anything for your personal safety and mental health."
But at this time, Jack, who was paralyzed on the single sofa, seemed to be drunk and fell to the armrest on the side. The wood on the side of the armrest knocked on his forearm, and the wine glass he didn't hold steadily fell to the ground.
"Oh, sorry, sorry." Jack immediately laughed, and like a drunkard who had drunk too much, he leaned over to pick up the fragments. Alfred, who was quick-handed, was a step late and didn't block Jack's hand.
When Jack's index finger touched the largest piece of the cup bottom, it was immediately cut open. Jack screamed in pain, humming and putting his hand into his mouth to suck.
Alfred immediately wrapped the fragments of the cup with a towel and threw them away, then brought a small first-aid kit from the room. When Jack took his index finger out of his mouth, Bruce looked at the wound on his fingertip stained with saliva and blood, revealing a smile.
Then he looked at Schiller. Schiller just looked at the screen.
At this time, Helen and Harley in the screen were frantically transmitting sound with dark energy, seemingly discussing whether the plan that appeared in the Book of Necromancy was feasible. Finally, Harley made the final decision: "I think it can work!"
"Then who exactly is going to..." Helen revealed a strange expression. She scratched her hair and said, "How about Damian, I see he is idle anyway..."
Harley shook her head with her arms crossed, then stared at Helen with wide eyes. Helen also widened her eyes, froze for a moment, and then pointed to herself and said, "Me?!!"
Harley nodded vigorously. Before Helen could refute, she said, "Don't you think Little Bruce is hiding something from us? Did he really wash away the Elder Sign of Nyarlathotep? At the same time, he also got rid of that mysterious existence in the dark space?"
"Or is there a possibility that he wants both sides, and both sides want him." Harley narrowed her eyes, paced in the corridor, and said, "He is by no means as simple as he appears, he definitely left a trump card to defeat the enemy, just like every Batman."
"This is too ridiculous." Helen roared, "I'm not even from this universe..."
"Helen, have you ever thought about it." Harley held Helen's shoulders, looked at her seriously, and said, "Why can't Spider-Man accept the dark energy of this universe, but you can?"
"I..."
"Anyway, no matter what, there must be the same dark qualities in your body as us, this is the key."
"But Damian also..."
"He's not strong enough." Harley shook her head and said, "Did you forget what was written in that plan?"
An extremely complex expression appeared on Helen's face. On the way back, she wrote the word "entangled" on her face. Until finally sitting at the conference table, she seemed to have made up her mind, slammed the table hard with her hand, and said, "Fine, at least my stylish value is definitely above them!"
Then she gritted her teeth and glared at Little Bruce. Little Bruce was confused by her look, withdrew his gaze with a blank expression, and looked at the map.
Harley's eyeballs rolled around, touched Little Bruce's with her elbow, and then threw her head back, signaling Little Bruce to go with her.
When the two of them jumped off the table, Damian was stunned. He pointed to Little Bruce, then to Harley, and then to Little Bruce and said, "Hey, you two... can you go to the bathroom together?!!"
"We two are going to whisper, can't we?" Harley rolled her eyes, and then sent a critical hit: "People who haven't been in love should mind their own business."
Damian fell on the table clutching his chest. Harley took Little Bruce to the room next door. As soon as she entered the door, she said straight to the point, "I think Helen has a problem. She just called me into the room and forced me to ask about this book. It seems she wants to get it."
Little Bruce frowned and looked at Harley, seemingly judging whether what she said was true or false, but Harley hit the nail on the head and said, "Don't tell me you didn't see it. Helen is not a human at all. Besides having a mysterious body, she also has the blood of the gods. This is not good news."
"I know she has behaved very peacefully so far, but that's only because it hasn't reached the critical moment." Harley sighed gently and said, "What we are going to do next is a matter of life and death. She doesn't even need to deliberately deal with us. As long as she does something at the key point, we will be doomed."
"I won't let anyone succeed easily." Little Bruce pursed his lips, the corners of his mouth turned down, and his expression was quite heavy, obviously feeling a bit of pressure.
Then he looked up at Harley and asked, "Tell me all the information you know about Helen."
"You saw the horns on her head when she hit Viman, right?" Harley stretched out two index fingers and made a horn gesture on her head, and said, "Judging from the shape and the scales on it, her body is probably not very related to the word 'cute'."
"And she came from another universe, unlike Aisha who knows the bottom line, her parents are not in this universe, it's hard to say that without the bond of close people, will she suddenly go crazy."
"You want to sow discord, just to keep your book?" Little Bruce narrowed his eyes and looked at Harley and said.
Harley spread her hands and answered very honestly, "I am very unhappy that she forced me to ask about this book, but you also have to know that at least I am a full human, and a Gothamite. The book is in my hands, it's better than in the hands of outsiders, right?"
Harley crossed her arms and walked around Little Bruce, finally stood still in front of him and said, "I know your situation is not as simple as you introduced, you must have hidden your strength to deal with emergencies, so you are so confident, but I hope you take your hidden strength to watch the unstable factors in the team. I don't have your ability to do multiple things at once, I can only focus on the next plan."
Little Bruce decided to reveal a little bit after thinking slightly. After all, as Harley said, they are the ones who know each other best in the team, and they are both local Gothamites. At least so far, Little Bruce thinks Harley is the most trustworthy person in the whole team.
"I reached an agreement with Nyarlathotep." Little Bruce found that he didn't see any surprised expression on Harley's face. He felt that his judgment was indeed correct, Harley's wisdom was enough to stand side by side with him.
"And at the same time made a deal with the mysterious existence where the darkness is. Now I can use their power at the same time. The two forces in my body are merging, but it's nearing the end. Once completed, I don't know what kind of strength I will have."
"Very good, at least we reached an agreement. You are responsible for watching the unstable factors in the team, I will go all out for our plan."
Little Bruce nodded, which was considered to agree with this arrangement. The twists and turns experienced during this period made him grow rapidly, and the suspicion and darkness buried deep in his heart were also gradually sprouting.
After returning to the room, Little Bruce looked at Helen without a trace, wanting to find something different from her behavior and language. Helen was discussing the shield strength with Constantine and felt a chill behind her back, and couldn't help but shudder.
"Helen? Helen?!!"
Constantine's voice seemed to come from the distant horizon. Helen returned to her senses as if waking up. Constantine looked at her with concern and said, "Are you cold? I'll let them turn off the air conditioning."
"No, no need." Helen shook her head.
"You've been distracted for several minutes." Constantine's eyes were full of worry. He looked left and right and couldn't see what Helen was thinking, so he said, "If you are sleepy, go to sleep, your expression is stiff to death."
Helen rubbed her face hard, sighed in place, looked at Harley with some resentment, and these actions were all seen by Little Bruce.
Little Bruce seemed to be chatting with Damian about the current situation in Cat Getan, but in fact, he was paying attention to every move of Helen. Seeing Helen's abnormal state, he thought, sure enough, this monster girl from another universe wants to do something, and it is very likely aimed at Harley.
Little Bruce didn't know the origin of that book, but he could see that Helen and Harley had some unhappiness because of that book. He guessed that Helen might have discovered this book first, and Harley snatched it away. Now Helen wants to snatch it back.
Although the book is also suspicious, if Helen chooses to do it at this time, it is hard to say whether she wants everyone in the team to be buried here.
Little Bruce has a natural distrust of creatures that are not human and have the blood of the gods. He hates so-called fatalism as much as he hates gods.
Batman naturally hates everything that is hidden behind the fog and is always unclear. That almost psychopathic desire for control makes him always exclude things he cannot fully control, while desperately wanting to control them when making choices.
"I think we should talk." Little Bruce walked up to Helen and said so, but unexpectedly Helen nodded readily and followed him to the other side of the spaceship.
Damian was stunned into a statue.
After coming to the room, Helen also unexpectedly went straight to the point: "Don't look at me with that look of looking at a criminal, don't you know that's annoying?"
"Can I take your unprovoked aggression as a guilty conscience?" Little Bruce also didn't give in. He stared tightly at Helen's face, wanting to find a clue from her expression.
"You are the most suspicious one among us!" Helen snorted coldly and said, "Secretly contacting the Outer Gods, still two, I won't believe your nonsense about deceiving both sides, you clearly reached a deal with both of them."
Did she also see it? Little Bruce thought, it shouldn't be that he wasn't cautious enough. It seems that this monster girl also has considerable insight, but it's not surprising. She has a genius father and a god mother. Except for the combat power of her monster body, wisdom is also a troublesome thing.
Unknowingly, Little Bruce had regarded Helen as an imaginary enemy, but at this time, Little Bruce found that the Helen opposite had a stiff expression again. Little Bruce, who was proficient in micro-expression analysis, found that he couldn't read any information from Helen's expression, and only felt a kind of dazzling strangeness.
That made Little Bruce feel very uncomfortable, so he took a deep breath, turned and walked out of the room, leaving a sentence: "No matter what you want to do, don't forget, I will watch you."
Just as Little Bruce stepped out of the room, he felt that he had auditory hallucinations, because he vaguely heard a harsh laughter coming from the room behind him.
