Chapter 13 Chapter 13 The boomerang didn't fly long

Just as No. 666 expected, the Ice Ghost, who was about to give birth and whose nest was cleared with one click, gave up the pursuit of "quantity" after the pursuit of rights and interests and chose "quality".

This is also a helpless move.

This city was too dangerous and obviously not suitable for the hatching of his children. He had to forge a new iron nest for his children in a remote and deserted place, just like before.

But if that happened, He wouldn't have enough metals to take in nutrients, and that was absolutely not allowed.

What's more urgent is that Benjamin's physical strength is limited. He can't come out all the time. The deadline is pressing. If the Ice Ghost wants to ensure the safety of his children and himself, he must choose more nutritious food.

Fortunately, when He dived underground, He discovered that there were wonderful metals everywhere in the city that emitted a wonderful smell and were known to be nutritious at first sight.

Although there are always people who get in the way near these metals, He will do anything for His children.

So that night, several owl nests in Gotham were robbed, and several claws were frozen in ice and went offline again for hibernation just after they were awakened from hibernation.

It wasn't known how long he'd been eating or drinking before the Ice Ghost realized that Benjamin's strength was about to run out and the Omnitrix's transformation was about to be lifted.

So the Ice Ghost ate the blade dropped by the claws, smacked his lips, and felt that he had taken in enough nutrients this time. He spread his wings and turned invisible, then disappeared into the ground again.

We have to hurry back to the church where He came out, otherwise it will be dangerous if Benjamin, who has recovered from his coma, comes back to life outside.

At this time, Li Hua and Jason did not know that the Ice Ghost had almost used up all the amber gold in the Gotham City Owl's inventory. They just saw the missing Ice Ghost suddenly jump out from the ground, and with a flash of green light, Benjamin lay on the ground in a very peaceful posture.

"Book!"

Jason and Li Hua immediately rushed forward, one lifted his eyelids and the other pinched his Ren Zhong point, waking up Benjamin who was simply sleeping.

Benjamin was so tired that he couldn’t even open his eyelids. “I’m not dead, I’m just very tired… Just let me sleep for a while…”

"That's not the right thing to say!"

Li Hua started patting Benjamin's face.

"Hold on for a while, don't fall asleep yet. At least let us check whether you're going to sleep for a while or for the rest of your life!"

After a quick check of Benjamin's body, Jason found no external injuries such as broken bones or blood loss. He then began to confirm Benjamin's consciousness. "Do you remember your name?"

Benjamin was so sleepy that he was barely breathing. "My name is Benjamin Kirby Tennyson... I'm really fine... Transforming the Omnitrix consumes energy, so let me sleep..."

"Oh, then go to sleep."

After confirming that Benjamin was fine, Li Hua and Jason each held one arm and carried Benjamin to lie on the bench. Li Hua also used the long windbreaker that Jason had retrieved as a blanket to cover Benjamin.

After a while, Li Hua felt that this was not enough, so he covered Benjamin's stomach with the clothes that Jason had originally prepared for him, and then left with satisfaction.

Jason: "Isn't his human body not pregnant?" Why is he being so cautious?

Li Hua said seriously, "Whether you are pregnant or not, you must cover your belly, otherwise you will catch a cold."

As he said that, he pulled off another piece of cloth and handed it to Jason: "Ben should sleep for a while, let's do the same."

Jason: "No thanks, you keep it for yourself, I'll go turn off the light."

When Benjamin woke up, it was still dark outside the window.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Benjamin was overwhelmed by hunger. He held his stomach which was so hungry that it made him feel acid reflux and just sat up with difficulty when he was handed a piece of bread.

It's Jason.

"Thanks, buddy." Benjamin tore open the package and stuffed the bread into his mouth.

"Ben, are you awake?" Li Hua rubbed his eyes and yawned. "My magic power has almost recovered. Where are we going next?"

"We can't stay in Gotham anymore. Benjamin, judging by what happened last night, you're definitely going to attract some serious attention," Jason said. "Pack your things, we're going to Bludhaven. There's enough scrap metal there to make you puke."

Jason didn't mention Blüdhaven before because he was worried that it would pose a threat to Benjamin, the surrogate father. But based on what he learned about the Ice Ghost's abilities from Li Hua and what he saw with his own eyes, it is most likely that the person who would be threatened by the criminals in Blüdhaven would not be Benjamin but the other party.

If that’s the case, then what is there to worry about?

Li Hua: "So urgent? Jason, aren't you going to tell your family that you're resurrected?"

Jason: "There's no need. My grave has been dug up, they're sure to find out. And for some reason, I don't want to go back now."

Li Hua was greatly shocked, but when he saw Benjamin winking at him secretly, he swallowed the doubts in his heart.

He didn't even tell Jason about such a big thing as resurrection in person. It seems Jason has his own problems at home.

"Don't look at me like that. It's not as serious as you, a sweet kid, think." Jason said, "Running away from home at a certain age is a standard in my family. Anyway, as long as my dad and the others know I'm still alive, they'll find me sooner or later. Although if possible, I still hope he comes later. I don't really want to see him right now."

Although he still didn't understand why Jason's attitude towards his father changed so much after his resurrection, the current situation of Benjamin and Ice Ghost was more important than the health of the family relationship of teenagers. Li Hua put all the half-dried clothes that Benjamin and himself had hung on the church bench last night into the system space No. 666.

"We'll head to Bludhaven right away after dark and the rain stops. To avoid motion sickness and the Ice Ghost suddenly running away, just eat something to fill your stomach and continue eating when you get there."

Li Hua really didn't dare to delay any longer. The shock of Benjamin's disappearance for the first time was too great. During the time when Benjamin disappeared, he had heard Jason briefly introduce the general situation of Gotham. Combined with his personal experience in just 24 hours, Li Hua immediately made the same judgment as Benjamin.

You absolutely cannot keep the baby in this place, you must run away quickly!

Jason: "It seems like you have a way to get us to Bludhaven right now? It looks like I can finally see the magic of the magic boy."

Li Hua: "But I need to prepare something before I cast the magic. Do you think the belt can act as a safety belt?"

Jason:?

"That depends on where you tie it."

Li Hua raised the staff in his hand. "Do you think a belt or rope can tie my hands to this staff? It needs to be strong enough to lift me up."

Jason: "Uh...it should be possible."

"Great!" Li Hua said, "Then after you tie up Ben and me, can you tie yourself up too?"

Jason: "Of course you can, but why does your magical power require us all to cosplay as lamb kebabs?"

"This is the seatbelt. We're about to ride my staff to Blüdhaven like a wizard on a broom," Li Hua said. "Considering I have almost no flying experience and am afraid of heights, I think this is necessary to avoid a tragic situation where three people take off and no one lands."

"I don't need it. I can fly on my own. Flying while tied up is terrible, and I can't even slap my watch if something happens." Benjamin said, "Li Hua, you should stop tying them up. If you tie both of your hands to your wand, you won't be able to cast a spell in an emergency."

Li Hua: "Then Jason, tie yourself up."

"What's the point of tying me up? If you, the driver, crash, I'll definitely fall with you, and it will delay Benjamin from retrieving me. And why tie it to a smooth stick like the wand? From a safety perspective, shouldn't we both tie it to you, the driver?"

Jason was looking forward to the upcoming broom flight and rubbed his hands eagerly.

"If you're really scared, you can be in charge of the magic output, and I'll operate the staff!"

Li Hua looked at Jason doubtfully: "Can you really do it?"

Jason assured him, "I've done bungee jumping (using a hook gun) and parkour many times before, so I can definitely do it!"

Benjamin perked up. "Give it to me! I definitely have the most flying experience here. Not only can I fly at the age of ten, but I also have experience flying hoverboards and spaceships. I can guarantee that we can all land smoothly."

Of course, don't ask such hurtful and costly questions as what happened to the hoverboards and spaceships.

Benjamin and Jason argued for a while, and finally Jason's words "How can we let the birth father come for such a thing? What's more, you don't know the way" determined the outcome.

No. 666: [Once Benjamin's watch is working properly, have someone teach you how to fly. If nothing goes wrong, this will be your long-distance travel and escape method for a long time to come. You can't be afraid of heights and not dare to fly.]

Benjamin perked up instantly: "Li Hua, after I give birth, I'll teach you how to fly. I'll help you overcome your fear of heights and fly as well as I do! Don't worry, just fall down, I'll definitely catch you!"

Jason: "I'll help too. I can teach you how to deal with a fall without magic."

Li Hua: "...Thank you. I will try my best not to vomit during training."

The few of them quickly packed up their things. Jason and Benjamin watched Li Hua tap a piece of playing card with an ancient pattern with his bird-beaked staff. The wing decoration on the top of the staff instantly turned into a pair of huge white wings, and the staff body became long enough for people to sit on.

It's more than enough for one person, just right for two people, and a bit crowded for three people.

But this small problem is not a problem at all in the eyes of Benjamin and Jason. If there is not enough space to grab the staff, just grab the person in front.

Finally, this magic flying wand with no safety measures, consisting of three passengers, driver Jason Todd, passenger and central seat belt Benjamin Tennyson, and Li Hua, who sat at the tail end to provide magic drive and was ready to cut the cards in an emergency, took off towards Blüdhaven.

The darkness and clouds provided visual shelter for the three teenagers, but also made them ignore some other things.

For example, if they went back to the cemetery, they might find a pale, sweaty gravekeeper filling up the dug-up grave with a shovel, muttering something like "I absolutely cannot lose this job."

At some point in the future, perhaps they will slap their thighs and regret that if they had known that the gravekeeper was drunk and pretending to be dead while digging the grave without even noticing, they should not have trusted this guy's professionalism.

The author has something to say:

----------------------

Jason, who was introduced to Li Hua and Benjamin in the previous chapters: This is Gotham

Jason, who later realized what was happening: ...This is Gotham!

PS: The gravekeeper refilled the site to keep his job, which is the original plot.
