Chapter 158 Chapter 158 The Son of an Old Friend Super Double! ...

After Jason wiped off all the mud from the kid's face, he felt more and more that at least five and a half percent of the eyebrows and eyes in this childish face were ones he had seen on another person before.

Ignoring the darker skin tone and green eyes, the more he looked at the kid, the more he felt that he looked like Bruce.

Especially the look of frowning and tense face.

Jason looked back at Li Hua calmly, and seeing that Li Hua didn't react, he threw the horrible towel into the sink and began to deal with the child's clothes.

If this kid really looks like Bruce as much as he thinks, as if they were carved from the same mold, then Li Hua would definitely notice it, and Connor would also have some reaction.

And looking at the child's race and whereabouts...it's unlikely that he's related to Bruce.

Alas, it seems that Gotham can't eat too much meal replacement, because now he feels like an old friend even when he looks at a frowning, bad-tempered child.

Besides resembling partly Bruce, the child's face also looked familiar in another way... Jason couldn't recall who it was, but it must be someone he had seen before, but not familiar with...

But if he sees it again, he will definitely remember it.

Connor, who was holding the child, saw that Jason didn't say anything and thought it was just his illusion.

Bruce's adopted son, who lived with him day and night, didn't think the child looked like Bruce.

Li Hua, who had been concentrating on soaking the dried mud on the child's head and then shaking it with water to remove the impurities, flushed the dark, dirty water down the drain. Turning around, he saw Connor and Jason hadn't reacted for a long time. He thought to himself that Jason, the meal replacement king, had led him astray. Meal replacements had become so ingrained in him that he treated every child like an old friend.

Or maybe it's just that it's hard to tell the difference between different races? This child looks like he's mixed race, but Li Hua can't tell what exactly he's mixed up with.

Li Hua has not yet learned to identify bloodline, race and ethnicity through appearance. Now he can only say with certainty based on the child's skin color that there is definitely a person of color in this child's bloodline.

In fact, it is reasonable even if this child looks a bit like Bruce. There are many people in the world who look exactly the same, and there are even more who have similar eyebrows and eyes.

The United States is a melting pot of races. Maybe Bruce's ancestors and this child's ancestors have the same ethnic ancestry, which makes it look like that.

Li Hua had read in a book before that black hair was considered a sign of Roman descent and a symbol of nobility in some parts of the West. Bruce and the child both had black hair, so it was possible that their ancestors were from the same hometown.

The three people, each with their own thoughts, began to wash the mud monkey child.

Maybe it felt really good to wash off the stinky mud, maybe he was out of strength, or maybe he realized that resistance was pointless, so the hot-tempered child stopped struggling and instead raised his hands to cooperate with their actions.

Jason: "Then can you take a shower by yourself?"

The child raised his round chin and said, "It's a great honor for you to help me clean. Don't push your luck."

Jason scoffed and splashed some more warm water from the tub over the child, softening the dried mud that had almost penetrated his pores and making it easier to scrub away. "You have to learn to bathe yourself. There won't be someone here to help you every time. You don't want to get smelly, do you?"

People were not angry about the child's remarks. They just felt that the remarks were more in line with the definition of brainwashing and sacrifice in a cult.

Isn't it always like that? In order to purify the "sacrifice", in addition to ideological indoctrination, there are also special people to cleanse the body, and there should also be superficial respect for the "sacrifice", so as to make these brainwashed lambs believe more and more that their "goal" is noble and great... In short, it is a typical cult practice.

Especially when wiping with a towel, they found that the child's body was covered with scars, new wounds on top of old wounds. Connor's X-ray eyes could also see the traces of several fractures and re-healing on this young skeleton.

They will not be angry at a brainwashed and harmed child, but will only direct their anger at the evil cult organization that deserves to go to hell.

Li Hua rinsed the dark-colored sponge and towel in the sink, placed them where Jason could reach them, and took a bucket to the shower area.

Although the shower head had died heroically, it didn't affect the access to warm water. Li Hua expressionlessly unscrewed the shampoo on the shower rack and poured a third of it directly into the shower, then turned on the faucet, flushing out a bucket of foamy water.

The mud in the child's hair was too stubborn. Rubbing it dryly was useless. Strong measures had to be taken.

The struggle lasted for a full hour before they finally rescued "Bob" from the smelly mud and put him into clean clothes, although they were a little too loose and ill-fitting, at the cost of their own clothes.

Especially Connor, as a humanoid cub holder, he was covered in mud before, and now it's all water.

Of course, Connor had clean water on him. Otherwise, if "Bob" started making a fuss again, Connor, who had to hold him down, would set the progress bar of the pup cleansing plan back 10%, and none of them would ever achieve the goal of cleansing the pup.

The three of them thought about it and decided to just rinse Connor off the mud with clean water since they would need to change their clothes and take a shower later.

The detention room in Titan Tower is not of ordinary level. Due to the special nature of the work of superheroes, occasionally there will be teammates who have been ambushed and are in an unconscious state and powerful enemies who need to be detained. It is no problem to detain an ordinary human child who has been brainwashed by a cult and is armed.

Jason and Connor originally thought that they could go take a shower after throwing the kid into the detention room, but when they arrived at the door of the detention room, they found Tim there.

"I'm here to take this kid for a physical exam." Tim's eyes swept calmly over the child's clean face. "He's survived in the Amazon rainforest for a while, and his foot is injured. It's a good time to take care of it before sending him to his room."

The child's physical strength and energy should be almost exhausted by now, so it would be most convenient to examine him now, and his swollen left foot also needs to be treated.

Throughout the journey, "Bob" was carried around by Connor. Perhaps his irritability was related to the way he was carried with his feet off the ground.

This time, the child was still very cooperative.

Of course, a big part of the reason why he cooperated was that there was nothing he could do if he didn't cooperate, as he simply couldn't beat the people around him.

His killing skills are used to kill "people". He can't say how many of these kidnappers are human, but the guy who has been holding him is definitely not a human!

Li Hua found that from the moment they met until now, Tim had not shown any surprise at the appearance of this child. He thought to himself that he must have seen it wrong. This child actually did not look that much like Bruce.

It turns out that you can’t eat too much meal replacement, otherwise everything will look like a meal replacement.

Jason had almost the same idea, but compared to Li Hua, who was wearing a magical dress that could be changed without washing, he now wanted to send this noisy kid to the restraint room, and then quickly change out of his wet clothes and the full-ecological flower vine hood with several flowers plucked by the kid.

While Titans Tower was unlikely to have Jason's spare Red Hood, it certainly had a spare Domino Mask. Jason planned to borrow one from Tim; the floral vine mask he was wearing was environmentally friendly, but it was incredibly uncomfortable.

Perhaps it was the tacit understanding between half-brothers. Jason just looked at Tim, but before he could say anything, Tim said, "I have extra domino masks and hoods here. I can take you there. And of course, scissors."

"Finally," Jason said, "I can finally take this thing off my head."

"Then we'll meet in the reception room later." Connor said to Li Hua, "Come on, I can take you to visit the Titans Tower."

After Li Hua and Connor left, Tim took out a domino mask from his pocket and handed it to Jason, then motioned for Jason to sit on the stool, took out a pair of medical scissors and began to cut the vines on Jason's face.

Jason: "Since you already had the Domino Mask on you from the beginning, then why did you keep me here?"

"I checked the child's DNA," Tim said. "When the results first came out, I thought it was a trap, so I took another blood test just now, but the result was the same as the first test."

"DNA testing shows that he is directly related to Talia al Ghul and Bruce Wayne."

That is to say, genetically speaking, the child is the biological son of these two people and their brother!

Jason's head exploded with a loud bang.

It’s said that the boy’s face looks so much like an old friend, it turns out he is the son of an old friend!

Talia Al Ghul is the second-in-command of the super villain organization "League of Assassins" and is their enemy in terms of their stance.

The Assassin's League is an organization that qualifies as a "terrorist organization" in every sense. The difference between them and a "cult" is that they do not believe in gods, but in their leader, Ra's al Ghul (also pronounced Lars al Ghul), who is known as the "Head of Demons."

At the same time, Lars al Ghul is also Talia's father.

It just so happened that he matched what the kid said about himself being the "heir to the Great Will". As the son of Talia and the grandson of Lei Xiaogu, in the eyes of the Assassin's League, wasn't he the "heir to the Great Will"?

Even the trials that feared death were explained: the Assassin's League possessed a pool of water capable of resurrecting the dead and granting immortality—the Lazarus Pool. While the green waters could bring a mad curse while performing miracles, the allure of eternal life pales in comparison.

But what is this?

“What the hell…” Jason buried his head in his hands and let out an irritated groan. “There’s so much overlap. Why didn’t he think of the Assassin’s League when he said, ‘Justice must be achieved by one’s own hands’?”

He didn't even remember that the Assassin's League had this motto... He remembered that he had met Talia several times, but he had never heard her say this!

After all, why would the Assassin's League, who live in the desert, send their young master to a rainforest for a trial? Is it time for a change of taste after eating too much sand?

"Because nine out of ten religious or inflammatory slogans with the word 'justice' in them often have the same meaning as this one, the duplication rate is alarmingly high."

Tim patted Jason's shoulder in relief.

"Besides, you don't interact with the League of Assassins often, so they don't say this often. You know, the League of Assassins cares more about actions and results than words."

Basically, every time you ask someone from the Assassin's League "Why do you do this?", their various responses can be summarized into the following sentence:

"My heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror, and all I do is justice."

So you really can't blame Jason and the others for the misunderstanding. Although the Assassin's League's configuration is still some distance away from being a cult, it is already far away from being a normal person.

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

The author has something to say: At this time, Damian still thought he was being kidnapped.

The reason why he's called "Lei Xiao Gu" instead of "Lars. O. Gul" is because in animation, games, and comics, Batman and his friends always call him by his full name. The phonetic translation of "Lei Xiao Gu" is more appropriate (and has fewer characters).

Lei Xiaogu's full name is Arabic, which is a word itself (meaning the head of the devil), so it is shouted continuously.

O.G. is also Arabic. The two words are actually connected. They are both nouns like "Devil's Head", meaning the Ghoul, a desert demon that exists in Arab legends.

So "Ao.Gu" can be directly regarded as "Ao Gu" together.

The name Thalia is of Greek origin in English, so everyone calls her "Talia" instead of her full name like her father... maybe it's because it's easier to pronounce?

It may also be because if the tune of Lei Xiaogu is "Aogu", the name will only mean "head". Changing from "devil's head" to "head" may be a bit strange when shouting.

The original saying "The devil's head has another trick" became "The brain has another trick", making the tissues below the head and neck seem to be angry and want to run away from home.
