Chapter 83: Danshu
Chapter 83: Danshu
The heavy rain in Gotham was still pouring, but a faint blue color was faintly emerging in the sky. Jason, who had seen enough of the father and daughter fighting, understood that the night would soon pass and the dawn was about to appear.
He strolled through the streets of Gotham, ignoring Lei Xiaogu's final roar and curse. Jason pursed his younger brother's hair and used the rain to give him a Moganshi hairstyle.
"What are you doing?" Damian asked stiffly. His hair didn't feel very good. It was so hard that it pricked people. As the Luofu people said, the harder a person's hair is, the harder his life will be.
It's just a superstition passed down from the ancient Luofu Empire. Jason gently tapped the bomb collar around his neck and said, "You're lucky. For this thing, they should give you a lighter sentence."
Damian looked up suddenly and saw Talia, who had killed his father. The latter was holding high the head of Reshgu in her hand. The she-wolf was bathing in the blood of the previous king and was crowned in the rainstorm of Gotham.
I really hope that the dynasty she hopes to establish can survive the crushing defeat of the Cloud Cavalry Army.
Talia threw Rechogu's head into the trash can. She is now the legitimate leader of the Assassin's League, and all the assassins bow down to her. She stared at Damian across the last part of the rainstorm.
A mother and her son, the Creator and her most perfect creation, the new king and the heir with unlimited potential, and the body of Reshougu was lying nearby, his head in the garbage pile facing everyone.
Talia said nothing, but it seemed like she had said everything. She just gave her son a final glance, then left Gotham with all the assassins without looking back.
The light of dawn broke through the darkness, as if the black-clad assassins had taken away all the haze, and the dark clouds all faded away. The cool breeze in the early morning caused Jason to sneeze loudly.
"A-choo——"
Jason closed his eyes due to a physiological reaction, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw the crimson morning glow dyeing half of the sky, huge cloud riders and star rafts lined up in the air, a small boat was speeding towards them, and the girl in yellow on the bow was waving her arms at them.
"Jason!"
Su Chang couldn't wait to jump off the boat, followed by two other Cloud Knights. After checking Damian's condition, they brought him back to the boat, and Jason finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He rubbed his forehead and said, "You guys are so slow."
Su Chang curled her lips:
"The Cloud Cavalry has been recuperating since their great victory a few months ago. No one expected something like this to happen. The veterans felt that there was nothing to fight about, so they sent us new recruits out to gain some experience."
Jason watched the star ships disperse and fall in an orderly manner, and the sense of crisis he had always felt finally faded away:
"I thought I could handle everything, but I didn't expect you guys would still be needed. It's over. I'd better go back and accept the punishment."
Su Shang patted his shoulder to comfort him:
"General Jing Yuan asked me to tell you a long story. I can't remember the elaborate words, but the gist of it is that this accident was caused by internal strife in Luofu, and someone deliberately set it up. You're already very good at doing this, so don't be discouraged."
"The general is kind, but military law is strict. I will not evade the punishment I deserve."
Tim said that all the forces would arrive before dawn at the latest, and what he said was true. Not only those strange underground forces in America, but even Rove on the other side of the earth came at the time he said.
As a result, the tanks that had just entered the city were seized by the Jin people, the land overlords that could crush everything were confined in place by virtual numbers, and the mercenaries who came from all over the country had not even started to kick the widow's door before they had their own doors kicked in by the Cloud Cavalry.
Rather than a regular military operation, it was more like a relaxation of the Cloud Cavalry Corps' strength, but their actions were a slap in the face of the government masters.
Luofu had just opened up and had never joined the United Nations, so naturally it didn't need to care about any peace treaty. It gave America a few big bastards that it loved to eat. The star ships that flew down from the sky landed accurately on all the US military bases and controlled them all almost instantly.
Luo Fu: What is the United Nations? Is it a game of house playing among inferior civilizations?
The hegemony that the United States has worked so hard to build has come to an end. Even if they want to behave themselves now, they may not even be able to maintain national unity.
Company: Take down the fastest episode in America.
However, this is all later.
At this time, starships were still flying in the sky. The Cloud Cavalry only protected all the people of Gotham from the underground forces. Talia fled from Gotham in a panic and took all the remnants on board the interstellar spaceship that was exchanged for the Assassin's League's thousand-year heritage.
Jason picked up a red bucket that was floating on the ground and tucked it under his arm, intending to return to the team with Su Chang. As he walked, he asked casually:
"By the way, have you found Spider-Man and the others?"
Su Chang answered everything with her blank eyes.
A little earlier.
After Jason was taken away, Tim thought it was extremely unwise to forcibly sneak across the dock in Gotham when all the forces were rushing towards Gotham. For this reason, he turned his attention to New York, where they had just left, and decided to give them a surprise attack.
In the heavy rain in the late night, a disguised Batmobile rushed towards New York. Their speed was so fast that the raindrops passing by were as sharp as bullets, and every sound hitting the car was like a gunshot.
But fortunately, Tim made the right bet, and they successfully left Gotham and passed by the mercenaries who were meeting them head-on.
"Listen, our plan is simple. We will return to New York under the cover of night, and then find the biggest Rover Ambassador to kill the competition. But we must consider the worst-case scenario. If something goes wrong, we will immediately change course to the Port of New Jersey. I will prepare a ship there."
Tim arranged everything briefly. He stepped on the accelerator with all his might and drove the sports car like an airplane. There were not many pedestrians on the vast road, and even the guards at the checkpoints along the way were deserted tonight.
"But Mr. Danheng from Luofu seems to have been stopped by someone, otherwise we don't need to leave New York."
Yinzhi made his own judgment and thought it would be more reliable to row away by boat.
"But we still have to go and take a look. The Luofu ambassador cannot have any problems on American soil. Otherwise, even if we return the Jianmu fruit, the Luofu side will still pursue it to the end. Two days have passed. I hope things won't be too bad."
Tim said anxiously. He had a lot on his mind. What he was most worried about was not only the failure of the plan, but also the success of the conspiracy of those who were chasing them, which would change the fate of mankind forever. Also, Rofu finally couldn't stand these jumping clowns anymore and planned to let Tutu take over the world.
Besides, he was also worried about Jason's thoughts. What if he thought that America was hopeless and directly summoned the Luofu army? He had to return the hot Jianmu fruit before the Luofu Cloud Riders arrived. Turning himself in and being caught by the police were two completely different concepts.
For a moment, Tim even suspected that this was a sting operation by the Luofu people. They deliberately released a fruit to make everyone desperate, and then took the initiative after they made an irreparable mistake.
But he did not say his guess out loud, but just stepped on the accelerator. Gotham is adjacent to New York, and Jason had taken such a long detour before just to avoid being seen. Now, with the help of the Batmobile, they reached their destination in the middle of the night.
Things were really bad for Danheng.
After two days and three nights, that madman was still fighting. They were chipping away at the concrete floor by floor from the top of Stark Tower. The broken sword could cut concrete as easily as tofu.
This building was originally located on the most prosperous street in New York. It was lit every night and there was singing and dancing every night. But at this moment, there are no lights, the girls have dispersed, and there are only two poor people who were implicated by the blood debt of their previous life.
"That's enough. How many times do I have to tell you that I am not him? I am not the person you want revenge on!"
Dan Heng weakly repeated the words he had repeated many times, but Ren still looked deaf and dumb. The evil spirit body is such a difficult thing to deal with. It will wipe out all your beauty and joy, leaving only the most primitive and intense hatred in life.
"It's almost there, it's almost there, our hatred will end here..."
For who knows how many times, Blade stood up again with the tip of Dan Heng's gun against his. The flesh and blood of the Envoy of Fertility made him immortal, and the past of the Luofu craftsman trapped him in the past.
Perhaps we also have to count the woman named Jingliu. Thanks to them, Ren Cishen's only goal is to kill Dan Heng and then kill himself. Maybe the order can be reversed, but his desire to die will never change.
The building had been cut off by almost two-thirds, with broken walls scattered all over the streets. There was deathly silence all around, with no police or media present, as if this was not the most prosperous place in the world besides Luofu, but some desolate wilderness.
When Tim rushed over with the disguised Spider-Man and Silver Branch, what he saw was such a ruin. At the same time, a red sword light flew past everyone's scalp and smashed the only remaining small building behind them into pieces.
"Is it that intense?"
Tim swallowed. He didn't want to use his fragile little body to test whether the attacker's sword was faster or his own gun. He might be cut into pieces along with the bullets and the gun, and then chopped into small pieces by the aftermath of the battlefield.
Jason underestimated the strength of those who besieged Dan Heng. The first thing he considered was to take Spider-Man away first to prevent him from being caught and hindering Dan Heng. He thought that Dan Heng would be able to escape quickly after they left the United States, but he was ambushed by Damian, so that both sides were in a stalemate.
"It seems that Mr. Danheng needs help." But Yinzhi stood up.
"Silver Branch? Are you sure? I know you are very strong. You even took on the entire Black Mask's lair by yourself, but we just went through a night of running around, and it's almost dawn. You will definitely be discovered."
Spider-Man expressed his concerns. He thought that letting Yinzhi go with them back to Luofu to get help might be the fastest way to solve the problem.
"I know, dear friend, but as a knight, I cannot just ignore what is happening in front of me. Besides, how can a pure and beautiful knight keep hiding his true identity? Mr. Danheng is a very important part. As long as we can save him, everything will turn around."
Having said that, Yinzhi rushed forward with gun in hand. Bright red roses bloomed again in the night sky, and Tim had no choice but to take Spider-Man and leave first.
Player: I hit myself? Never mind, just use a few skills and wait for the next node~
Spider-Man is much more familiar with the roads in New York than Tim, but although they can find the dock, they may not be able to find a ship that dares to go out to sea at this moment.
The night is shedding its outer layer, just like thick ink being gradually dissolved by clear water. A faint white light emerges from the horizon. Dawn is about to come, and the dock workers will come to work in the morning light.
Once there are too many people, the trouble will be multiplied, but the most annoying thing is that this will usually be trouble for the good guys, not the bad guys.
Peter walked in the dock with huge containers, marveling at the power of industry and the prosperity of commerce, but he also didn't understand why those people would rather destroy all these beautiful things to obtain the invisible immortality.
This is crazy, but the craziest thing is that this is all condoned and strongly supported by the US government. Is it so difficult to admit that you are no longer the center of the world?
Just as he was lamenting the impermanence of life because of the great changes he had encountered, the ring on his left hand suddenly started beeping.
"What happened?" Tim looked at Spider-Man alertly: "Why is your ring lighting up?"
Peter was also at a loss: "I don't know, this is Luo Fu's thing, even Mr. Stark can't understand it."
"I think I know." Tim's voice became inexplicably low: "Look up."
A starship came towards them in the dim light of dawn, dragging the morning glow behind it. This was the second time Peter saw these spaceships from Luofu. Their unique artistic structure still gave him great aesthetic shock.
"Great!" Peter cheered happily, "It's finally over!"
They just stood on the shore, watching the star ship descending from the sky. A Luofu woman in plain green clothes walked down from the bow. She had a cold temperament and a calm face, with her hair loosely draped over one shoulder, but what was most noticeable was her pair of lifeless eyes.
Blind man? Tim felt something was wrong, but there was no other force in the world that dared to pretend to be Luo Fu. Moreover, although the blind man could not see, his walking and handling were no different from those of ordinary people.
"Thank you for your hard work, I am Dan Shu, the chief alchemist of Luofu Danding Division. Now, please return the Jianmu fruit to Luofu."
The Luofu man who claimed to be Dan Shu produced his credentials as the chief alchemist of Dan Ding Si.
