Jason held Messiah's hand and stood outside the school registration office. He looked at the scene inside the registration office hesitantly, with a trace of struggle in his eyes.

But that struggle finally turned into determination.

Without considering accepting funding from the Martha Charitable Foundation, their best option was to stick with the original plan and let Messiah go to school alone.

Jason tried not to think about what Bruce Wayne had said when he came to his door.

Messiah looked around the school environment curiously. It was his first time to formally come into contact with a school, and every place in the school was full of novelty to him.

Huh?

Messiah's gaze rested on the school auditorium, where a group of students were holding a student union election, and there was a bomb hidden under the auditorium floor.

A bright red 15-minute countdown was still on the bomb display.

Messiah blinked, and his super vision instantly scanned all the scenes in the school, and also found a time bomb with a timer of 14 minutes and 30 seconds in the fire protection system of the teaching building.

Is it normal for a bomb to appear in a school?

Messiah was a little confused when he came into contact with school for the first time. He knew that school was a place for learning, and learning about bombs was also a course in school?

Messiah thought of the netizens in the previous world, where many students were talking about blowing up the school.

Maybe, just maybe, it could be normal...?

Messiah dragged Jason, who was talking to the school staff, and whispered his confusion: "Jason, is it normal to have a bomb in a school?"

Jason's conversation with the staff suddenly stopped. He didn't bother to pay attention to the stunned staff and quickly asked Messiah, "Is there a bomb in the school?"

Messiah nodded obediently: "Yes, there is a bomb."

Unlike Messiah, who was too undersocialized, Jason instantly realized that there was a bomb in the school. He stood up and rushed out holding Messiah's hand.

The staff at the registration office also rushed out skillfully. Regardless of whether what the kid said was true or not, as a Gotham citizen who valued his life, he had to run.

Jason pressed the communicator Robin gave him as he ran.

Robin and Batman are in the same group. After Bruce came to his house and said he wanted to adopt them, Jason originally wanted to throw away the communicator, but after some hesitation he decided to keep it. He didn't expect that it would come in handy today.

The red light on the communicator quickly turned to a green light, indicating that it was connected, and the voice of Robin... no, Richard Grayson came from inside.

Jason and Messiah slammed the brakes as a burly man wearing clown makeup and holding a machine gun stopped in front of them, looking down at them.

"Contact Mr. Clown." The burly man said into the intercom, "We found two little mice with communicators."

It's the Joker Gang.

Jason's breathing suddenly became rapid, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on Messiah's hand.

Messiah saw a sense of familiarity in the makeup on the burly man's face, which reminded him of two people.

Two... criminals whose hearts were crushed by him and Superman

"Jason, Messiah, what happened?"

Dick asked the first question anxiously, and then he heard a shrill sound coming from the communicator.

The sound of machine gun fire and sudden screams assaulted Dick's hearing. The communicator suddenly emitted a sharp explosion, and then there was only the crackling sound of electricity.

The communicator was destroyed.

Dick's face changed instantly. He picked up the backpack containing Robin's uniform and rushed out of the school without hesitation.

Messiah looked at the Joker gang member expressionlessly, and with irresistible force, he pulled Jason, who was holding his hand tightly, behind him.

Communicator fragments were scattered on the ground, and the bodies of the registration office staff were lying on their backs, with the spreading blood gradually spreading to their feet.

The Joker's thugs pressed a machine gun against Messiah's forehead and grinned, "Come on, Mr. Joker, please go over."

The machine gun was pressed against the center of his forehead, but Messiah raised his head as if nothing had happened, his golden eyes flashing with a cold light: "You deserve to die."

The Joker thug sneered, but the next second, he felt a huge force coming from his hand, snatching the machine gun from his hand.

Messiah easily broke the Joker's thug's wrist, held the machine gun in one hand, and blocked the barrel of the machine gun with an invisible force to prevent the bullet from accidentally going off and injuring Jason.

A flash of black light.

Messiah retracted the machine gun that he used as a sword and looked down at the Joker's thugs who fell to the ground.

The Joker thug screamed in pain, four neat red lines on his wrists and ankles.

——The Messiah severed the tendons of his hands and feet.

Messiah glanced calmly at the Joker's thugs, then took Jason's hand again, and his aura instantly softened.

The Joker's thugs were still wailing. Messiah shook Jason's hand and said obediently, "I didn't kill anyone."

He and his brother had promised not to kill anyone, so even if he was angry, he would not kill anyone.

Jason looked into Messiah's sparkling eyes, hesitantly raised his hand and rubbed his brother's face, which was full of praise. "Well done, Messiah."

This hesitation finally turned into determination. Jason took a look at the disgusting look of the Joker's thugs and suppressed the desire to kill him.

The Messiah has always been persistent in his promises. He wants to set a good example for Messiah Adam and never break his promises.

A broadcast sounded, and the clown's shrill laughter surrounded the school.

"Good morning, children. Uncle Clown wants to play a little game with you."

Even though it was just the sound of the radio broadcast, they could hear the clown's overflowing malice.

"Uncle Clown has some candies here, some delicious candies. Uncle Clown's friends like your laughter, so the kind-hearted Uncle Clown decided to give these candies to you."

Messiah scanned the entire school and discovered that the entire school had been surrounded by the Clown Gang, with two Clown Gang members armed with machine guns guarding each classroom.

Only the auditorium with a bomb buried underneath was not invaded by the Joker Gang, as if due to the Joker's negligence.

Messiah heard the sound of the Batmobile and Robin's motorcycle, and the sound of sudden brakes. He saw Batman and Robin jump out of the car and quickly sneak into the school.

"But the amount of candy is limited. Only good and obedient children can get candy, while disobedient children can only get another kind of 'candy'. I will use the simplest method to select the good and obedient children."

Messiah heard Jason's breathing become rapid, Batman's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and Robin fell from the sky and knocked down the Joker gang members at the entrance of the teaching building.

Batman rushed into the school's broadcasting room, and the batarang clearly aimed at the microphone in front of the Joker. He had to cut off the Joker's broadcast.

But the clown's crazy laughter was even faster.

"HAHAHAHA, now, the game begins!"

With a teeth-aching crackling sound, the broadcast was cut off, but the Joker's order had been successfully issued.

The members of the Clown Gang guarding the classroom raised their machine guns and aimed them at the screaming and crying children without hesitation.

“Candy is coming HAHAHAHA!”

The Joker laughs maniacally, and his other "candy" is bullets!

Batman punched the Joker in the face and started fighting with him.

The Joker laughed even louder. His dark mask blocked Batman's face, but everyone could see the anger in him.

Messiah watched everything that happened in the school. He felt the crazy malice of the Joker and his gang members, as well as the pain and fear of the students.

What should I do?

Messiah thought that he should do something.

Am I going to bring relief to them all?

A faint golden light shone in Messiah's eyes. Out of some unknown emotion, he softly asked Jason, whose breathing was becoming increasingly rapid, "Jason, what should I do?"

"Should I bring them relief?"

Anger burned in Jason's eyes. He hated his own powerlessness and the Joker's crazy laughter.

Hearing Messiah's question, he suddenly turned to look at Messiah, with a trace of struggle in his eyes.

Hundreds of lives were placed on the other side of the scale, and finally fell heavily.

"No, don't be free." The emotions in Jason's expression were so complicated that Messiah couldn't understand Jason's expression, but he understood Jason's answer, "Save them, protect them, please, Messiah."

“Save someone…?”

Messiah repeated Jason's words, and the surging emotions in his heart finally found an outlet, and the faint golden light in his eyes was completely lit up.

...But I can only destroy, not save.

A basin of cold water was suddenly poured on Messiah's head. Messiah hesitated and wanted to tell Jason that he couldn't do it, but the Jokers pulled the trigger faster, leaving him no time to think.

The members of the Joker Gang aimed at the panicked students and opened fire directly, with bullets flying towards them at high speed.

The tragedy is imminent.

Messiah subconsciously activated his power, and the exploding golden light instantly covered the entire school, dyeing the sky and classrooms of the school golden.

The golden light was faster than a bullet. Lines of golden film blocked the students, and the bullets originally shot at the students were intercepted by the film.

These golden films looked dreamy and fragile, like bubbles that would burst with a poke, but the bullets crackled against the golden films without shaking them at all.

The anesthetic gas was evacuated to every corner of the school through the ventilation system, and Batman's backup also arrived.

The smile on the Joker's face disappeared, and the fireworks on his chest suddenly exploded with a mixed spray of laughing gas and fear gas, but they were all isolated by the golden film covering Batman.

The golden film not only covered the students who were being shot, but also covered Batman and Robin under the influence of Messiah's subconscious.

Batman exhaled lightly. He looked at the golden film on his body and instantly understood the source of this power.

It is the Messiah.

Batman did not hesitate to use the protection of the golden film and knocked the Joker unconscious with one blow.

Can he protect?

Messiah looked at these golden films that were created under his subconscious control, and a trace of trance appeared in his eyes.
