Chapter 2953 When Night Falls (Forty-Five)
Chapter 2927 Night falls (forty-five)
The Starfire in front of her was also wearing tight clothes, had beautiful red hair, a graceful figure, three-dimensional and beautiful facial features, and basically nothing to fault.
But the problem is that she is a bit like a collection of female superhero stereotypes. When people first see her, they feel her beauty rather than her strength.
First of all, a superhero like Wonder Woman is indeed very beautiful if you look closely, but most people who face her do not dare to look closely, because she is very strong and powerful, and people's first impression of her is absolutely He is strong, fierce, and not easy to mess with.
To give a simple example, regardless of whether a man or a woman has been a police officer for a long time, no matter how beautiful he is, he must have a kind of authority that no one else has. Every move and every word he speaks makes people have the urge to pee.
Even female heroes with superpowers will look very fierce. If a female hero without superpowers wants to become world-famous, the effort and training required is simply unimaginable. They will definitely be Brave, wild, and unyielding, rather than looking like flowers in a greenhouse.
You don’t even need Wonder Woman to make a comparison. Cassandra and this Starfire can be seen completely different when they stand together. Cassandra is as sharp as a knife. Just looking at her, you feel... The dagger was already close to his chest.
On the contrary, this Starfire looks more like a superhero enthusiast, or simply an anchor, with only the appearance but no soul.
"This is ridiculous!" Starfire said, "Does it have to be this way for me because other people are like this? What basis do you have?"
The Robins seemed to realize something was wrong. Although Starfire usually has a quick temper, how could she talk to Batman like this? Who would call Batman "ridiculous"?
"I know this can't be taken as evidence." Batman snorted and said, "We'll discuss your question later. Doctor Strange, have you recovered?"
When dealing with vampire monsters, Doctor Strange and Arkham Knight had successfully joined forces with Batman and the other three. Although Superman and Diana returned to the Justice League to take charge of the overall situation, the two of them followed Batman to the Weird. En Manor.
Doctor Strange looked much better now. He had obviously killed many vampires on his way to find Mary, and his injuries had almost healed.
He stood up and nodded, Batman stood up and walked over to the bound Barbara.
He stood still, sighed softly, and put his hand on Barbara's shoulder - suddenly, someone tapped him gently from behind.
Batman turned around to find Schiller standing behind him, and Schiller's voice came from behind him.
"Let me do it. I'm professional and can minimize the pain."
"No."
The moment he uttered the word rejection, Batman was punched hard. The force was so strong that he fell to the side. He swayed twice, stabilized his body, and inserted a knife into Barba. He pulled her chest and cut out her heart.
Barbara let out a scream that was unlike any human being could make, and blood spattered on Schiller's suit. Everyone was stunned, and Dick and Gordon jumped up.
Barbara is indeed a vampire, but a vampire's self-healing ability is limited. Again, being touched by a cross is two different things than being directly penetrated by the cross through the brain stem.
Barbara's life slowly dwindled away.
But soon, Doctor Strange's hands lit up with magical light, and the power of the dead fixed her soul in her body, sutured her wounds, and brought her back to life in a strange way.
Barbara woke up suddenly and retched desperately on the spot.
She took a deep breath, straightened her body, and looked around blankly.
"How do you feel? Barbara?" Batman immediately came over. Barbara seemed to be greatly frightened. She hid back suddenly, but saw her father in the crowd.
Gordon also rushed up and hugged her. Barbara's expression became more complicated, and when she saw Dick watching her in the crowd, she finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"I'm sorry, I lied to you...I made an irreparable mistake...I really should have told you earlier..."
Everyone else was a little dazed. At this time, Schiller, who looked down at his suit that was ruined by blood, said in a confused manner, "It is education that shapes the real you."
Jason seemed to understand a little bit. He glanced at Dick who didn't come forward. He took the initiative to step forward and hold Barbara's shoulders. He looked into her eyes and said, "Nationality and race are not important. What is important is who you are." What kind of education is given to you, education tells you who to choose.”
Schiller smiled inwardly. The Vampire King would not understand. Let alone handing a vampire baby that is 80% similar to humans into Gordon's hands and letting them spend more than twenty years together. With Godzilla in his hands, there will now be a knowledgeable Godzilla Robin in the Bat Family.
The failure was still the baby. Perhaps to increase the drama, or perhaps to make a complete show, the Vampire King simply made a baby and gave it to the Gordons.
As long as she did not control the whole process from the background for more than 20 years, but allowed Gordon to raise this child, then even if she was indeed a vampire, she would definitely be a good vampire when the Vampire King did not control her.
After all, that was James Gordon.
Schiller is now curious about what role Dick played in this. It seems that he knows more than anyone else.
However, Barbara has now escaped the control of her vampire father through death, but Dick is still a regular vampire. Although his blood is thin and he has escaped part of it, he still can't say anything when there is a high-level vampire present.
Then we can only rely on Barbara.
"I... I am a vampire..." Barbara sobbed and said, "Yes, from the beginning, I realized a long time ago that I am not... Don't cry, Dad."
"But I haven't bitten innocent people." Barbara said, "Dick helped me get a blood bag. This is also one of the reasons why he insisted on going to Blüdhaven, because Gotham is under the surveillance of Batman. If he keeps doing this, he will be exposed sooner or later."
"But... vampires need the blood of living people to maintain their strength, so... So I bit him, I'm really sorry..."
Dick seemed a little anxious, but Barbara just glanced at him and didn't mention whether he was voluntary.
But how could the people present not know?
"When did you start to feel something was wrong?" Batman asked.
"Since I attacked Dick." Barbara took a deep breath and said, "I was very restrained every time. Even if I sucked his blood, I would definitely keep it within the healthy range of adult blood donation to ensure that it would not cause harm to his body."
"But suddenly one day I lost control. I sucked most of his blood... I realized that things were irreversible. The only way to save his life was to hug him for the first time."
But Dick looked at her with a slightly apologetic look.
"No! It has nothing to do with your absence during that time!" Barbara said loudly, "It wasn't long, so my bloodthirstiness wouldn't have risen to this level!"
"Since then, I can't remember a lot of things..." Barbara covered her head in some pain and said, "I think I am the king of vampires. I have the mission of reviving the vampire race. For this reason, I ordered Dick not to reveal my identity. I also... I also..."
"Take a deep breath, Miss, you may have a post-traumatic stress disorder." Schiller stepped forward to comfort her again.
Barbara quickly calmed down, but when Batman asked if she knew who controlled her, she couldn't answer. According to Barbara herself, she had never seen other vampires, at least not when she could remember.
The baby plan does have an advantage, that is, babies don't remember things. Barbara wouldn't know who did it if they changed their identities at this time.
But Batman suddenly turned his head and stared at the Starfire and said, "If the information of Starfire in other universes can't be used as conclusive evidence, then what about the information from other civilizations in this universe and the Milky Way?"
"I just sent a message and asked Superman to go to the Green Lantern headquarters and retrieved the information of Starfire from there. You probably don't know it yet? The real Starfire is not only a superpower but also an alien, and a famous cosmic superhero."
Another picture appeared on the screen. It was Starfire fighting against some interstellar insects. It looked exactly the same as in the previous information, and it was quite different from the Starfire standing in front of him.
"It's no coincidence that you chose to pretend to be Starfire. Where did you take her?"
Batman's tone of murderous intent was no longer concealed.
"You still don't have any evidence." Starfire said fearlessly: "My growth trajectory is true, my actions as a superhero are also true, and my interactions with your adopted children are also true. Are you going to slander me just because your assistant has become a traitor?"
Yes, Schiller thought, this is another advantage of playing with the timeline. She can go back to the past and conscientiously create a superhero identity from scratch.
Everything she has done in the past few decades is what a superhero should do, so who can say she is not a superhero?
Batman stared at her with the coldest eyes, but there was no next move.
This is Batman's biggest shortcoming, Schiller thought silently in his heart, emotional, but not shameless enough.
Schiller walked silently to Starfire, smiled at her, and said, "Don't get excited, Miss... Considering that you have a history of marriage, maybe I should call you Ms."
"Madam, you have to calm down. You are not wrong. As a fan of Ms. Starfire, it is reasonable for you to chase stars by any legal means, even if you wear almost the same clothes as her, dye your hair the same color as her, and use her code name and name. It is just a normal expression of your love and should not be criticized by anyone."
"Of course, you also have to understand Batman's feelings. His most capable assistant and his good friend have just suffered a tragedy. , and you, I have to say, ma'am, some of the words you mentioned about your life experience at this moment may inevitably make people think of your possibility and desire to replace her. I am not saying that you really mean this, but if this association is triggered, it is difficult to ask Batman to remain completely calm. "
"Considering that you are a passionate imitator of the great hero Ms. Starfire with such a passionate love and enthusiasm, I believe you are definitely not intentional."
"I swear, if you can cooperate with us, Batman will definitely find a way to contact your most outstanding and powerful idol, and she will definitely be very happy to have such a beautiful fan like you."
"Now, can you please stay calm like them and sit down and talk?"
A bloody whirlwind suddenly blew around Xinghuo.
Happy birthday to our dear motherland!
