I train Batman in a horror world

Chapter 74 is unimportant

Chantoz.

That's the name of the demon that appeared in Gotham tonight.

It wasn't some high-level demon; it was more like some kind of being that made contracts with people, using their souls as a price.

Every two thousand years, Shantoz would sneak out of Hell to seek out heartbroken people in the world, and then devour them.

Clearly, it thinks it's had good luck today.

Having just escaped from hell, he encountered an old man who had died from excessive psychological stress.

Yes, the corpse is still warm; it can be eaten.

Just as it was about to take a bite, a boy appeared, whose aroma was almost overwhelming!

Of course, the girl who was fighting with the boy was also a rare treat for dessert.

But you know that.

Just as no one would complain about having too little money, no demon would complain about which food is the most delicious.

Corpses, thieves, teenagers.

It wants them all! (Clenches its fist tightly!)

This city is simply paradise!

"Leave him, you evil spirit!" (Leave him, you demon, ironic magic.)

With a strange, angry shout from Zatana, the demon's body flew backward as if out of control.

But the same applies.

The reason why a demon is a demon is that it will stop at nothing to achieve its goals.

The flames burning on its body converged in the instant it flew backward, forming a fireball several meters high, heading straight for Bruce!

The fireball was faster than Zatana had imagined!

He had barely finished uttering that sarcastic remark when the fireball hurtled towards Bruce!

"No!!!"

Zatana's face turned pale, and her heart sank to the bottom.

At the same time, Talia, who was not far from her feet, finally regained some strength.

With her last ounce of strength, the girl shouted excitedly:

"Yes!!!!!!!!!"

'

Zatana glared at her angrily.

She really wanted to kick him, but now she was more worried about Bruce's safety!

But now, the flickering flames reflected on her fair face, and Bruce was nowhere to be seen around.

"No, no, no, no..." she stammered, intending to walk toward the indistinct flame.

"yesyesyesyes!"

boom!

Zatana, unable to bear it any longer, stepped forward and kicked Talia!

A kick to the other person's face was like breaking some kind of seal.

A bat with its rear on fire suddenly flew out from the flames.

As the bat flew, you could hear it cursing and swearing.

"This is unbelievable! It's a completely undeserved disaster. This kid knows how to prevent fire, but I, Master Fu, don't!"

Foul landed on Zatana's shoulder and extinguished the flames that had started burning behind her.

Zatana was stunned: "You!?"

Fowler tilted his head: "Why are you looking at me? Go look at that fire!"

Zatana looked over instinctively.

The previously indistinct firelight now faintly revealed a human figure.

The flames, like unraveling silk, pierced through the figure.

If nothing unexpected happens...

That figure was...

"Bruce!?" Zatana exclaimed in surprise.

"It's always been someone's habit to draw inferences from one instance to another. Because he was once struck by lightning, he has more than just talismans to absorb lightning on his body," Fu said with a chuckle.

Can you imagine a body covered in talismans symbolizing the five elements beneath clothing?!

Here you are, now you see it.

Bruce's once elegant suit had been reduced to tattered rags, hanging on his body, making him look extremely disheveled.

However, beneath this tattered cloth, on his strong, fair-skinned body, were countless yellow paper talismans.

Bruce didn't look very good at that moment.

Several strips of black cloth hung outside, while underneath was an undergarment made of a yellow overcoat.

He's handsome, but his fashion sense is terrible.

But none of that matters.

The important thing is that Zatana saw that Bruce was alright and ran over to him immediately.

"Thank God, I'm so glad you're alright!"

Zatana originally wanted to hug Bruce, but Bruce stopped her because he was afraid that the talismans on his body might harm her.

But Zatana didn't care about that and still forcibly hugged him.

"If anything were to happen to you, I wouldn't know what to do. I mean... I could have protected you in much better ways..."

'

As they were talking, Zatana loosened her embrace, and her expression changed!

"You smell even better now?!"

'

"Zucker, it doesn't matter." Bruce said somewhat helplessly.

That's not important, of course.

The important thing is that someone shouted.

"No!!!!!!!"

Talia whirled around, glaring fiercely at the bat standing beside her. The bat winked at her, its face full of innocence.

In her anger, she couldn't help but think.

Is Bruce Wayne able to evade the League's surveillance because of this bat?

Then she saw the bat swaying and smugly.

the other side.

"yesyesyesyes!!!"

Zatanna took off the coat she was wearing and handed it to Bruce, whose upper body was half-covered.

"You can wear this for now!" she said.

Bruce hesitated for a moment, but then took it.

His tone was somewhat heavy: "That demon escaped."

Bruce thought he knew Gotham.

Only now has he realized that he doesn't fully understand Gotham.

There is still much for him to learn about this city.

That alone is far from enough!

Noticing Bruce's unusually complicated expression, Zatana asked with concern, "Hey, are you alright?"

"That body."

Bruce didn't answer, but instead went to the body that had been lying there all along.

He crouched down and examined the body of the old man who had recently died.

"Why would a demon emerge from her?" Bruce asked.

Zatana also crouched down and examined the body with Bruce.

Using the magical knowledge her father had taught her, she explained to Bruce, "To be honest, I don't know much about it, but the only thing I do know is that this demon is called Shantuz and feeds on people with broken hearts."

"A heartbroken person?"

"It's similar to some kind of psychological disorder, like the kind where you're under so much pressure you can't breathe," Zatana said.

Bruce was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Perhaps I can lure it out again."

"What?!"

"Is there any way to amplify my psychological trauma and then bring that demon out again?" Bruce asked.

"Do you know what you're saying, Bruce? This isn't something we can handle. We have to tell my father!" Zatanna said.

"No, it's not that powerful; I can sense that."

Bruce sighed, "Therefore, I absolutely cannot tolerate this demon continuing to wreak havoc in the city!"

Zatana advised, "Bruce...this is too risky!"

"There's nothing risky about it. Everything I've learned so far is to deal with this kind of situation."

"If I allow this monster to linger in the city for even a second longer, innocent citizens of Gotham will face increasing danger!"

"I absolutely will not allow this to happen!"

After Bruce finished speaking seriously, he turned to Zatana and said, "Maybe you should go back to performing."

""

One second they're asking if there's a solution, the next they're thinking of pushing themselves away and facing it alone.

Zatana looked at him helplessly.

"I never said I didn't have such methods."

""

Zatana took Bruce's hand and said softly, "But before that, we need to take care of something."

Bruce asked, puzzled, "What is it?"

Zatana turned and glanced at the masked girl lying on the ground.

"At least figure out who she is, and why she's here."

The other person seemed to have heard her words, raising their head inexplicably with arrogance, as if waiting for Zatana to ask who she really was.

Bruce also turned his gaze to Talia.

After a while.

He looked away, shook his head, and said, "In my opinion, there are people more important than her."

"What did you say?!" Talia screamed.

"Who?" Zatana was also curious about the more important person Bruce had mentioned.

Bruce turned around and looked at the corpse that would never rise again.

Shadows crept across his face, obscuring his true thoughts.

"She deserves to rest in peace; that's the most important thing."
