Opened a martial arts school, and his eldest disciple Batman

Chapter 76 Night Owl!

Upon seeing this, Du Mu stepped hard and crushed Night Owl's back with a crackling sound. He then used magic to suppress his screams and allowed him to struggle and twist wildly on the ground.

Then he took a step forward and slowly placed his right hand on the top of Dick's head to soothe him.

Dick, who had been in a frenzy, slowly calmed down, his eyelids began to twitch, and he felt as if he had sunk into the amniotic fluid before he was born, with only warmth and comfort.

Then, he lay on Batman's heavy defensive armor and fell asleep.
Alfred hurried forward, picked up Dick and put him back on the bed, but at the same time he used several corsets to tie Dick tightly on it, with a sad look on his face.

He saw a familiar figure in this young man.

A child who is equally miserable, desperate, and out of control.

But there is still hope that the child will grow up, become a man of integrity, and bear the Wayne name.

And this child may even forget his own and his parents' names.

Du Mu looked at Dick and consoled Batman who stood up silently beside him, "It's a good thing that he's acting so out of control. It means that his emotions are still there and he's fighting against this power. Those claws that are completely integrated with Amber Finance will eventually become killing machines without any emotion."

Batman said nothing.

At this time, the recording that had been playing in his headphones began to sound like Du Mu's voice.

These were the words Du Mu had told Harry to capture Lei Xiaogu.

This reminded Batman of something.

I remembered the shocking scene when I checked the central computer just now.

Those assassins...those familiar and unfamiliar faces, those faces with whom I had studied together.

Although the training of the Assassin's League does not emphasize camaraderie, most of the time the faces are covered and no identification is allowed.

But there is only one exception.

I thought I would never see Talia again.

Looking at Talia being cut in half, Batman could hardly describe the feeling in his heart.

He looked at his master, as if he had gotten to know this man all over again.

But what can Batman say? Accuse him of killing innocent people?
Is there anyone innocent in the League of Assassins, including Talia?
Accuse the other party of killing?

It’s not the first day that I have known my master. My master personally admitted that those kidnappers who committed sexual acts had been sent to hell.

This is not the first time that Master has killed someone, so there is no question of crossing the bottom line. Master did not kill innocent people, so there is no question of killing innocent people indiscriminately.

but……

But this time, too many people were killed.

Batman felt a deep fatigue.

Although he was indeed physically exhausted, if it weren't for his strong will, he would have fainted long ago.

But now, Batman is soul-weary.

He had encountered so much today.

First, Rexhogu escaped from prison and had a fierce battle with Lady Shiva and the Assassin's League; then the Master arrived and found that the city was poisoned, so he hurried to investigate and discovered the Court of Owls and Claws.

Then Hulk appeared, and in a brief battle, he was hit by a shock wave equivalent to a stun grenade; then he beat up the top leaders of the Court of Owls and obtained a lot of information that impacted cognition.

In the end, he fought a battle involving land, sea and air with Night Owl. With a 1% chance that the other party might be his biological brother, he brought him to the Bat Cave, but found that the child he was trying to save had been brainwashed.

Batman just felt a splitting headache, every inch of muscle in his body was secreting a large amount of lactic acid, and every bone was groaning in pain.

If I go to the hospital for a check-up now, I'm afraid I'll need to be hospitalized directly.

But he still held on and stood here.

Bruce looked at Du Mu and finally couldn't help but said tiredly: "Master... why did you kill so many people?"

"They could have been... imprisoned..."

When Batman said these words, he already had a splitting headache, his mouth and tongue were numb, and he almost fainted.

Du Mu stepped forward, supported Batman, and slowly cast a healing spell on him.

He looked at Batman calmly, feeling the pain, confusion and bewilderment in the other's eyes.

At this moment, Du Mu felt like he was back to the day when he first met Bruce.

He was also so exhausted, traumatized, and disoriented.

After all, he was only Batman for two months.

His soul was not yet numb to sin, nor was his faith completely firm.

Du Mu sighed and lifted the heavy drawstring bag.

"Inside, the bodies of all the members of the Assassin's League are stored, including Lei Xiaogu and Talia."

Du Mu looked at Batman and said seriously, "There is an impure Lazarus Pool beneath Gotham City. Lei Xiaogu used it to revive this time."

"If you don't agree with what I'm doing, take this drawstring bag and use the Lazarus Pool to revive them all."

Hearing this, Batman subconsciously wanted to take this light-looking drawstring bag.

However, when Du Mu let go of his hand, the heavy force directly opened Batman's fingers, and the bag instantly fell to the ground with a dull loud noise.

After all, it was just a spell similar to the space extension spell, not a real storage bag, and the weight of anything inside still existed.

Batman looked at his slightly trembling hands and his fingers that were numb from exhaustion. He could not bear such a heavy burden at all.

"But my disciple, you must understand."

Du Mu sighed.

"If they escape from prison after you imprison them, it can't be considered your responsibility because it was their own initiative and they were unwilling to repent. You have tried your best to catch them."

"But if you resurrect them with your own hands... you will be like their second parents."

"From now on, all their actions and all their crimes...will be real, and you will have a share of them."

Du Mu looked at the drawstring bag on the ground, then looked at Batman, and said with a double meaning: "Can you carry it?"

At this moment, the recording in Batman's headphones played the last moment before Lei Xiaogu's death.

'Who made me his master?'

'Once a teacher, always a father.'

"As long as this setback can help Bruce grow a little, as his master, I can afford the small loss."

It was not until this moment that Batman suddenly remembered something he had subconsciously overlooked.

The reason why the Owl Court was able to find Master was because Lei Xiaogu revealed Master's information to them. The reason why Master did not kill Lei Xiaogu at the beginning was because he asked Master to keep him under custody, so Master took his principles into consideration and only cut off one of his arms to prevent him from harming the children in the martial arts hall.

Later, Lei Xiaogu was able to return to Gotham only because he felt that he could completely imprison the other party and would never let him go.

What a slap in the face reality is.

The master gave him a chance, but he couldn't even keep Lei Xiaogu in prison for a week before he escaped.

Suddenly, a horrifying picture emerged in Batman's mind.

If someone from the Court of Owls happened to enter when the Master was away...

How will the disabled children saved by the master face the sharp claws of the owl?

Relying on the prosthetic limbs you gave yourself?

Is this what I have achieved? Is this what I can do for those disabled children?

Just when their lives were getting better, when they were beginning to be happy, to smile, to have enough food and drink... they died at the hands of claws with the same tragic fate but without any emotions.

But now, I am questioning my master why he killed people.

Batman suddenly took off his mask, and as Bruce, he covered his face with one hand, trembling all over.

He didn't dare to think further. If such a scene really happened, how would he face his master?

How to face those children who once greeted you with a smile.

Just then, Dick reawakens from his healing.

He did not continue to struggle, but was not affected by any information from the outside world.

He just woke up and stared at the ceiling.

Although Alfred felt sorry for Bruce's current condition, he looked at Dick and was afraid of missing the last chance of recovery, so he said painfully: "Master..."

Bruce suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot.

He walked over, quickly examined Dick's body, and drew another tube of blood for testing.

Seeing this, Du Mu released the control on Night Owl's voice and said, "Let's interrogate this person. He should know the principle of brainwashing."

Bruce hummed, and his expression seemed to be fixed on his face, which was neither normal nor abnormal, as if his facial muscles suddenly lost the ability to express emotions.

Night Owl had recovered by now. He spit out blood through his mask and sneered, "Do you still want to restore that kid's sanity? It's too late. He is the child we chose. His great grandfather or grandfather was originally a member of the Claws. Amber gold was embedded in his teeth since he was a child, slowly transforming his blood and cells. What you thought was the first brainwashing procedure was just the finale."

Bruce heard this and looked up at the results in the central computer.

Sure enough, not only the blood, but every cell contained the strange liquid metal discovered before.

They have become one and the same... they can never be separated.

Du Mu also frowned as he watched this scene.

He can help others replace the blood in their body...but he can't help others replace the cells in their body.

This is thousands of times more difficult than treating the eyes.

At this moment, Night Owl looked at the situation in the bat cave, suddenly a grim smile appeared on his face, and he suddenly ordered: "Claw, commit suicide!"

Bruce's figure disappeared instantly. He suddenly rushed forward, using the Four Phase Fist to mobilize all his strength and true energy to strike back, breaking through the limit of his physical body. The metal-inlaid boxing gloves slammed heavily into Night Owl's face!
This punch was far more powerful than any other attack Bruce had ever used! It even shattered the bones in his fist!

The lower part of the Night Owl's mask was directly shattered, and the teeth, fragments, blood, flesh, were all mixed together. The whole person suddenly became speechless.

If the opponent was not wearing the Night Owl Armor, his spine would probably have been broken on the spot by this punch. Even so, his entire jaw was completely shattered and dislocated and could not be closed.

But he... still let out a loud and strange laugh.

Looking at Dick Grayson who was struggling desperately on the hospital bed, Night Owl's laughter became sharper and more piercing.

Inside the Batcave, for a moment, the only sounds were the sound of Dick bumping into the bed as he struggled and the creepy shriek of Night Owl.

Bruce looked down at the other person quietly. The next moment, he reached out his hand expressionlessly and took off the half-broken mask of Night Owl.

Then, he put it on his face.

Night Owl...or Lincoln March was stunned.

Bruce, wearing half of a Night Owl mask, came to Dick's bed.

He whispered, "Claw, stop killing yourself."

Dick suddenly became quiet again.

Bruce ordered again: "Claw, restore free will."

Dick blinked blankly, seemingly not understanding the command.

Bruce continued to order: "Claw, restore your memory, restore your sanity, restore your... restore all your damn emotions!"

He could hardly help but raise his voice.

Finally, Dick blinked and finally moved his gaze to look at Bruce. His eyes were confused, but he said in a weak voice: "Yes...Night Owl."

After these words were spoken, Bruce finally fell into silence.

A few drops of turbid blood dripped from the broken edge of Night Owl's mask and landed on Dick's confused face.

Batman...or rather Bruce wearing the Night Owl mask, turned around and looked at Du Mu.

He whispered, "Master, I'm sorry. I was so irresponsible before."

The eyes of the Night Owl Mask looked at the drawstring bag on the ground, and the hoarse voice became steady again.

"For the Assassin's League, who are capable of resurrection, death is also a form of imprisonment and detention."

"This time, I will never let any information about you leak out."

"I promise."

Du Mu looked at the half-expressionless Night Owl mask.

Compared to the ferocious bat mask, the night owl mask does not simulate any facial muscles, only simple, nearly circular eye lenses.

This changed Bruce's entire temperament from one filled with anger and fear... to one that was cold and mysterious.

Du Mu was silent for a long time before he said, "Okay."

"Master, I believe in you."

"as always."

I’m posting 3500 more words today. It’s not that I want to update too quickly before the book is put on the shelves, but the previous chapter happened to be the most depressing part of the book, and I really didn’t dare to wait another day... I stayed up late and had a headache, so I quickly wrote the sequel.
