Chapter 296: Ninja Master Lei Xiaogu
"Extraordinary cause, extraordinary means, I didn't expect that old man was actually a dragon fruit."
Xia Yu, who was still using his spiritual sense to perceive, turned around and walked to his office chair, then sat down.
Although neither the old man nor the beautiful woman said each other's name, Xia Yu still guessed their identities.
After all, the characteristics are so obvious, and there are lines that are clearly pointed at him. If he still can't guess it, he might as well find a piece of potato chips and cut his wrists.
They are one of Batman's main opponents, the ninja master Ra's Hogwarts and his daughter Talia, who is also one of Batman's ambiguous objects.
In Bruce's early years, before he became Batman, he went to a place called the League of Assassins to train himself.
The people in this place have been trained from generation to generation. Whenever there is a major war in the world, they will stop at nothing to end the war. In their view, any means necessary to deal with evil must be used.
The leader of the Assassin's League is the immortal Ra's El Ghul, also known as Ra's al Ghul. This name means the head of the devil in Arabic. Ra's real name has long been forgotten in the desert.
As far as Xia Yu knew, Lei Xiaogu had lived in the world for seven hundred years, and all this was because he owned the Pool of Lazarus.
But the Pool of Lazarus is not a natural holy place, but one created by the Trinita, similar to the town of St. Vangan created by Mephisto in Marvel. Its purpose is to break the world barrier and come to Earth to cause trouble.
Although the Pool of Lazarus can make people immortal, recover from any serious injuries, and enable people to gain endurance, strength, speed and various physical abilities far beyond ordinary people, the more it is used, the easier it is to be corroded by the demonic power in the Pool of Lazarus.
Lei Xiaogu became what he is today after being eroded. When he was young, Lei Xiaogu was an upright and kind human being.
After experiencing various changes, he believed that true justice should be in his own hands, so he created the Assassin's League and exercised his own justice.
During this period, he began to use the power of the Lazarus Pool to continuously extend his own life and expand the Assassin's League.
However, due to long-term use of the Lazarus Pool, Lei Xiaogu gradually went crazy without realizing it, and his sense of justice gradually shifted. He began to believe that humans were a corrupt race that needed to be eliminated. In the justice he believed in, in order to beautify the world, humans must be eliminated.
What's even more terrifying is that he instilled his beliefs into everyone in the Assassin's League, and the only gentle side of himself was left to his daughter Talia.
It just so happened that during the time when Bruce came to train, Talia fell in love with this wounded man, so Lei Xiaogu hoped to bring Bruce into his Assassin's League, and even hoped that Bruce would be his successor.
But at this time, Bruce was only obsessed with Gotham, so he rejected Ra's Hogwarts and also rejected Talia who loved him.
Until now, Bruce has become Batman, and Ra's Own Son and Talia also know that Bruce has become Batman.
At the same time, Lei Xiaogu also knew the crimes of Gotham. In order to exercise his own justice and to let Batman inherit his Assassin's League, Lei Xiaogu decided to destroy Gotham.
Of course, at the end of the story, no matter what conspiracies and tricks there were, they were all solved by Batman, because he is the omnipotent Batman.
"But what good can I get from this story?"
After recalling the entire story, Xia Yu leaned back and put his legs on the desk.
For him, there aren't many benefits to be gained in Gotham. Although DC is darker than Marvel, most of them involve fighting against others.
How to put it, either the upper limit is ridiculously high, or the lower limit is ridiculously low.
However, you can go and see the Lazarus Pool, even though it is the creation of Trinita, who is the demon king from another dimension.
But he is not bad either. Although he is not from this world, and he is not the him of this world, he is also a god.
While thinking about it, pure white light emerged from Xia Yu's left hand, and deep darkness emerged from his right hand. The two completely different forces did not conflict with each other at all, as if they had the same origin.
"Hmm... Holy light can be restrained, and darkness can be absorbed. What a coincidence! The treasures of heaven and earth are obtained by those who are destined to receive them."
Xia Yu chuckled. The Lazarus Pool has been occupied by Lei Xiaogu for seven hundred years. Now it’s time to find a destined person.
But speaking of fate...Xia Yu directly contacted Falconet's butler through telepathy.
Upon questioning, he learned that Falcone had also received an invitation. Because the Falcone family had been operating safely, outsiders did not know that Falcone was dead.
Although many people saw the gunfire and hail that night, Gotham was no longer surprised by it.
"I have the invitations. The timing and location are right, and I would be doing myself a disservice if I don't grab the Lazarus Pool."
…
Night falls.
At this moment, the Gotham Hotel was brightly lit, and the invited Gotham celebrities gathered together to show their kindness for this charity dinner.
The dinner was hosted by Talia, who went by the alias Miranda Tate. At the moment, Talia was wearing a black evening dress, which matched her black hair, making her look like a beautiful black rose.
"She's really beautiful, isn't she?"
Bruce nodded subconsciously when he heard the question. The next moment, he suddenly realized why the voice sounded so familiar.
Turning around, I saw Xia Yu, dressed in a formal suit and looking very respectful, holding a glass of wine and staring at Talia.
Bruce really wanted to ask Xia Yu how he managed to get into this high-end party, but when he thought of Xia Yu's magic, he felt that this didn't seem to be a problem.
but……
"What are you doing here?"
Although he was the playboy Bruce at the moment, not the dark knight Batman, Bruce still couldn't help asking.
"Well..."
Xia Yu looked at Bruce meaningfully, then looked at Talia who was talking to others.
"Let's be frank. As soon as I saw how beautiful my sister-in-law was, I knew I had decided on you as my brother."
“…”
Bruce suddenly felt his head feel heavy, as if he was wearing an invisible hat, but he still spoke stubbornly.
"There is no relationship between me and Miranda."
"oh?"
Xia Yu showed a playful smile on his face and turned to look at Bruce.
"If you say so, then I won't be polite. Beauty is only worthy of the strong, and I happen to think I should be stronger than you."
Looking at Bruce's increasingly dark and ugly face, Xia Yu smiled with pleasure.
It happened that at this time, Talia had already dealt with the other people who came to talk, and seeing Bruce with an ugly expression, she immediately walked over.
"Bruce, what are you talking about? Why do you look so grim?"
After finishing speaking, Talia looked at Xia Yu again: "Who is this gentleman?"
"I'm just a nobody." Xia Yu waved his hand and chuckled, "Bruce was just confiding in me that he fell in love with the hostess who organized the dinner party and wanted to invite her to dance, but he was worried because he was too shy to go over."
Hearing this, Talia's eyes lit up and she looked at Bruce excitedly.
"Really? Bruce!"
Bruce: “…”
If he told a lie now, would Talia beat him to death?
