Chapter 1758 S Apocalypse Event (Twenty-Six)
"Let's not talk about this for now." Constantine stretched out a hand to stop Schiller from saying what he was going to say next. He raised his voice and said, "Isn't your plan a little too... too..."
Constantine grunted for a long time, and the only word he could think of was "too Schiller".
At the same time, everyone's eyes shifted from Schiller to Bruce, and the expression probably meant "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 lying on the single sofa, fell on the armrest next to him as if he was drunk. The wood on the side of the armrest hit his forearm, and the wine glass in his hand fell to the ground.
"Oh, sorry sorry." Jack laughed immediately, and like a drunkard, he leaned over to pick up the fragments, but Alfred, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed, was a step slower and failed to block Jack's hand.
When Jack's index finger touched the largest piece of the bottom of the cup, it was immediately cut. Jack screamed in pain and put his hand into his mouth to suck.
Alfred immediately wrapped the broken pieces of the cup in a towel and threw them away, then took 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 fingertips stained with saliva and blood and smiled.
Then he went to see Schiller, who was just looking at the screen.
At this time, Helen and Harley on the screen were frantically communicating with each other using dark energy, seemingly discussing whether the plan that appeared in the Book of the Dead was feasible. In the end, Harley made the final decision: "I think it can work!"
"So who should do it..." Helen showed a strange expression, scratched her hair and said: "Otherwise, let's go with Damian, I think he's idle anyway..."
Harley crossed her arms and shook her head, then stared at Helen with wide eyes. Helen also widened her eyes, stunned for a moment, then pointed at herself and said: "Me?!"
Harley nodded vigorously, and before Helen could refute, she said: "Don't you think little Bruce is hiding something from us? Did he really wash off Nyarlathotep's old seal? At the same time, he got rid of the 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 and paced in the corridor while saying: "He is definitely not as simple as he appears, and he definitely has a backhand to defeat the enemy, Just like every Batman. "
"This is ridiculous." Helen yelled, "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, you must have the same dark qualities as us in your body, this is the key."
"But Damian also..."
"He's not strong enough." Harley shook her head and said, "Have you forgotten what's written in the plan?"
Helen's face showed an extremely complicated expression. On the way back, she wrote the word "tangled" on her face. Until she finally sat down at the conference table, she seemed to have made up her mind, and pounded the table hard with her hand and said, "Well, at least my fashion value is definitely above theirs!"
Then she gritted her teeth and stared at little Bruce with her eyes. Little Bruce was puzzled by her look, and looked back at the map expressionlessly.
Harley's eyes rolled around, and she gently touched Bruce's with her elbow, then shook her head back, signaling Bruce to follow her.
When the two of them jumped off the table, Damian was stunned. He pointed at Bruce, then at Harley, and then at Bruce and said, "Hey, can you two go to the bathroom together?!"
"Can't we just go and have a private conversation?" Harley rolled her eyes, and then gave a critical hit: "People who have never been in love should leave it alone."
Damian fell on the table with his chest covered. Harley took Bruce to the next room. 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 asked me about the book. It seems that she wants to get it."
Bruce frowned and looked at Harley, as if He was trying to judge whether what she said was true or not, but Harley hit the nail on the head and said, "Don't tell me you didn't see that Helen is not human at all. In addition to having a mysterious body, she also has the blood of the gods. This is not good news."
"I know she has behaved very well so far, but that's just because it's not the critical moment yet." Harley sighed softly and said, "What we are going to do next is a matter of life and death. She doesn't need to deal with us deliberately. As long as she does something at the critical point, we will be doomed."
"I won't let anyone succeed easily." Little Bruce pursed his lips, his mouth corners turned down, his expression was quite heavy, and he obviously felt a little pressure.
Then he looked up at Harley and asked, "Tell me all the information you know about Helen."
"Did you see the horns on her head when she bumped into Weiman?" 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 true form is probably not very cute."
"And she is from another universe, unlike Elsa who knows everything about her. Her parents are not in this universe either. It is hard to say whether she will suddenly go crazy without the bond of close people."
"You want to sow discord so as to keep your book?" Bruce said to Harley with narrowed eyes.
Harley spread her hands and answered honestly: "I am very upset that she asked me about the book, but you have to know that at least I am a complete human being, and a Gotham native. The book is better in my hands than in the hands of outsiders, right?"
Harley walked around Bruce with her arms folded, and finally stood 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 to use your hidden strength to keep an eye on the unstable factors in the team. I don't have your multi-line parallel ability. I can only focus on the next plan."
Bruce thought for a while and decided to reveal some of the bottom. After all, as Harley said, they are the ones who know each other best in the team, and they are all native Gotham people. At least so far, Bruce thinks Harley is the most trustworthy person in the entire team.
"I reached an agreement with Nyarlathotep." 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 shoulder to shoulder with him.
"And at the same time, I made a deal with the mysterious existence of darkness. Now I can use the power of both of them at the same time. The two powers in my body are merging, but it is almost over. Once it is completed, I don't know how strong I will be."
"Very good, at least we have reached an agreement. You are responsible for keeping an eye on the unstable factors in the team, and I will go all out for our plan."
Little Bruce nodded, agreeing with this arrangement. The twists and turns he has experienced during this period of time have made him grow rapidly, and the suspicion and darkness buried deep in his heart are gradually sprouting.
After returning to the room, Little Bruce looked at Helen without leaving a trace, trying to find something strange in her behavior and language. Helen was discussing the strength of the shield with Constantine, and she felt a chill on her back and shuddered involuntarily.
"Helen? Helen?!"
Constantine's voice seemed to come from the distant horizon. Helen came back to her senses as if awakened. Constantine looked at her with concern and said, "Are you cold? I'll ask them to turn off the air conditioner."
"No, no." Helen shook her head.
"You've been distracted for several minutes." Constantine's eyes were full of worry. He looked left and right but couldn't figure out what Helen was thinking, so he said, "If you're sleepy, go to sleep. Your expression is so stiff."
Helen rubbed her face hard, sighed while sitting there, and glanced at Harley with some resentment, and all these actions were seen by little Bruce.
Little Bruce seemed to be talking to Damian about the current situation in Gotham, but he was actually paying attention to Helen's every move. Seeing Helen's abnormal state, he thought, as expected, this monster from another universe wanted to do something, and it was very likely to target Harley.
Little Bruce didn't know the source of the book, but he could see that Helen and Harley had some unpleasantness because of the book. He guessed that Helen might have discovered the book first, and Harley took it away, and now Helen wanted to take it back.
Although the book was also suspicious, if Helen chose to take action at this time, it was hard to say whether she wanted to bury everyone in the team here.
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 always unclear behind the fog. His almost psychopathic desire for control makes him always reject things that he cannot fully control while trying desperately to control them when making choices.
"I think we should talk." Bruce walked in front of Helen and said this, but he didn't expect Helen to nod and follow him to the other side of the spaceship.
Damian was shocked like a statue.
After arriving in the room, Helen unexpectedly came straight to the point: "Don't look at me with the eyes of a criminal. Don't you know that it is annoying?"
"Can I regard your unreasonable aggression as a guilty conscience?" Bruce didn't give in. He stared at Helen's face tightly, trying to find a clue from her expression.
"You are the most suspicious one among us!" Helen snorted coldly and said, "You secretly contacted two Outer Gods. I will not listen to your lies to deceive both parties. You clearly reached a deal with both of them."
Did she see it too? Little Bruce thought, it shouldn't be that he was not careful enough, it seems that this monster girl also has a strong insight, but it's not surprising, she has a genius father and a god mother, in addition to her monster body's martial power, wisdom is also a troublesome thing.
Unconsciously, little Bruce has regarded Helen as an imaginary enemy, but at this time, little Bruce found that Helen's expression opposite him was stiff again. Little Bruce, who is proficient in micro-expression analysis, found that he couldn't read any information from Helen's expression, but only felt a kind of dazzling weirdness.
That made little Bruce feel very uncomfortable, so he took a deep breath and turned to walk out of the door, leaving a sentence: "No matter what you want to do, don't forget, I will keep an eye on you."
Just as little Bruce stepped out of the door, he felt that he had auditory hallucinations, because he vaguely heard a harsh laugh coming from the room behind him.
