Li Hua, an adolescent human with a kind heart who met an untimely demise, much like most protagonists in system-transmigration novels, was unexpectedly recruited by the Space-Time Administration af...
Chapter 192 Chapter 192 Stop Thinking
Bruce raised his hand and touched his earlobe. There was a bone conduction headset there for communicating with Alfred in advance, but after the fierce battle with Bane, the headset had been lost.
Never mind, just throw it away, it’s not a big deal.
At most, Alfred thought he was dead.
"Hey, man," the boy in the red mask approached, a broad smile on his face. "Since I risked my life to help you twice, can you take a picture with me? You're so cool!"
This Bruce is over two meters tall and looks even younger. How bizarre! Jason has never seen a Batman this big and yet still so childish!
And that big axe on his chest is so cool! He wants to get one too!
Bruce certainly wouldn't refuse such a small request from someone who had helped him so much.
After taking the photo, Waylon asked the boy in the red mask, "Aren't you going to take off your mask?"
Benjamin never wore a mask, and the other boy holding the eagle-beak staff took off the white ball mask on his face as soon as he entered the room.
Only this child has been wearing a mask and having his voice changer on, and until now they still don't know what the child's code name is.
"It's not that I don't want to take it off, but I can't," Jason said. "Because you might see a face that looks just like mine again in the future, and I don't want you to mistake me for someone else or be predisposed to eating a meal replacement."
Since Li Hua said that there is also a "Richard Grayson" in this world, there is probably also a "Jason Todd" or "Red Hood".
Just as Benjamin didn't want to transform into a Kryptonian and cause trouble for Superman, who had not yet appeared in this world, Jason also didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for his counterpart who had not yet appeared.
Otherwise, what if this Batman goes to ask the local Jason, "Use the magic boy to transform!"? The social death of the same position is also a social death!
Wei Lun was puzzled. "Why are there two identical faces again? I just said we shouldn't mistake them for identical faces. Could it be that none of your faces are your own?"
"Simply put, we are not from this world. We are heading to a different parallel universe. Understand?"
Jason saw that Waylon's eyes were becoming more and more confused, and said.
"What's the big deal? How many things in this world contradict your common sense? Aka, the Underworld is cultivating cyborgs, and Wonder Woman next door is fighting monsters! Compared to all that, the existence of parallel worlds makes more sense, doesn't it?"
The burly black man blinked blankly, held his forehead and exhaled a breath after a while, then slumped down on the sofa and gave up thinking completely.
There have been so many weird things happening lately... Is the world going to end?
"So you know my counterpart in another world, and there is also a counterpart of you in this parallel world."
Bruce quickly understood everything. As Jason had said, with all the strange things happening in this world lately, visitors from parallel universes were actually not that difficult to understand.
"The form Benjamin just transformed into has a counterpart in this universe? What kind of person is he?"
The speed at which they were brought here from Aka M in the blink of an eye...If this was also an enemy, Bruce didn't know how to deal with it.
Li Hua shook his head: "We can't give you an accurate answer. Different universes operate under different rules. We can't influence your judgment."
Jason: "After all, this is your universe, not ours."
It's not just different, it's completely changed.
Although Batman has lost his status as a wealthy man, he still has a living mother and his childhood friends from Arkham!
Even their body shapes are different. They're both Bruce Wayne, but this Bruce's size is ridiculously exaggerated! It's the size of a double-door refrigerator!
And his Batmobiles which were modified from various heavy engineering vehicles... Unless the local Todd had some superpowers, even Jason himself couldn't imagine how he could steal the tires of the Batmobile.
Especially the Batmobile that was converted from a mining truck. The tires on that mining truck were taller than a semi-trailer truck! Jason couldn't think of any carbon-based species other than Kryptonians that could steal the tires on that thing.
"We'll be leaving here soon and never coming back," Benjamin said, "so you better be careful from now on."
"I will."
Bruce looked at Waylon on the sofa. There was a layer of green scales on his wrists, and his eyes darkened.
Once he's rested, send Waylon out of Gotham immediately.
This time, he will definitely protect all his family and friends and never give anyone the opportunity to hurt them.
Having said that, Li Hua and the others quietly left the apartment, leaving the remaining time and space to the long-lost childhood sweethearts.
Waylon: "...Did they fly out the window on winged wands?"
Bruce: “Yeah.”
Wei Lun sighed and said, "Tell me, is it this world or the other world that's crazy?"
Bruce: "...I don't know either."
Maybe it's both.
"One more thing," Waylon muttered. "Can you get me a pair of pants?"
Wei Lun had been stripped naked at the Aka M Research Institute and treated like livestock without dignity. Running naked hadn't been a big deal when he was escaping, but now that he was out of the way, Wei Lun felt the urgent need for cover.
Bruce: ".......I'll go look in Match's closet."
Although according to his body shape, Waylon probably couldn't wear Matchstick's clothes, Bruce thought he could try harder, like finding a towel or something.
.......
Unlike the adults who were in a complicated mood, the reunited teenagers were now in a very relaxed and happy mood. They couldn't wait to start communicating after a long separation, focusing on talking about each other's feelings when they were released.
But before that, they need to deal with the clothes they are wearing.
Li Hua flew to where he had left his shirt, near the shore where he had entered the water near Aka M, and pulled out his shirt, which was wrapped in a plastic bag, from under a large rock. After tucking his skirt into his pants and putting on his shirt, the magic boy signed off.
Jason's was even simpler. He put the mask in his pocket and stuffed the star mask into another gun butt on his waist, and the magical boy Red Hood was also offline.
Benjamin zipped up his bright green jacket. "I'm done too. You guys are so slow."
Li Hua: "You, a guy who only builds his original skin, have no right to criticize us."
"What's the big deal? No one here knows me." Benjamin said, "Li Hua, you can actually relax a bit. There's no one I know in the exam room anyway, so it's okay not to wear a mask."
Li Hua: "That's still different. The mask's bonus may be small, but even a mosquito leg is still meat!"
Thinking back to the past, Li Hua was a quiet, socially anxious teenager who was too embarrassed to even wear a skirt on the street. Now...
Benjamin couldn't help but sigh that life is unpredictable.
Jason: "The exam isn't over yet. Where are we going next?"
Li Hua: "I haven't had dinner yet. Do you have any money I can use here?"
Benjamin took out a few bills from his pocket and said, "Of course, but we should eat breakfast now."
A hint of white has appeared on the horizon. No matter how difficult the process was, this long night full of information has finally come to an end.
.......
"What do you think? Will someone kick down the door and yell 'FBI'?"
In the fast food restaurant, Li Hua took a few bites of the hamburger before he felt the real feeling of eating.
"After all, your disguise is almost useless. Since the entire Aka M and the Gotham high-ranking officials are mixed together, it's normal for them to come to you."
“No, because this is Gotham, they’ll yell GCPD.” Jason pushed down the brim of his cap. “But in a way, it’s better to be here. Right, Ben?”
It's not that Benjamin doesn't know how to act secretly. He doesn't disguise himself at all. Not only because no one in this world knows him, but also because he wants to attract the attention of the people behind the scenes and make it easier for Waylon and Bruce to move.
Anyway, it is already a second-throw asset, so this way you can maximize your use.
Benjamin and Jason bumped fists. "You really understand me. You're worthy of being my brother who has been in this world for so long."
Li Hua: "If this exam could be graded, I would give this copy a bad review."
It's so unfair. Both of his friends have been here for several days, but he has only been here for one day. There is a huge gap in information.
I feel like I've been left far behind.
"Then you'll get an extra single-player dungeon experience. That makes it even," Jason said. "What's the big deal? It's not like we're keeping the information we got from you, so you're not losing out."
Jason believes that this exam arrangement was intentional by Azmis and Dr. Maodun.
I'll have myself, a gun-wielding, physical detective, go to the Party Animal dungeon to practice my practical gun skills and reconnaissance. I'll have Benjamin, who has a lot of flexibility but lacks thinking, go to the Akka M dungeon to do reconnaissance and micromanagement. I'll have Li Hua, who has the lowest overall experience...
Well, judging from Li Hua's landing point, the person who set the question should have originally intended to let Li Hua go to the timeline with the safest environment, let him explore freely, and gain some experience points such as exploration and reaction.
This was the most reasonable arrangement. It was called an exam, but it was actually a test, allowing each of them to further explore and hone their abilities.
........I just don't know whether the part where Li Hua goes to Aka M to perform O'Man stepping on the mouse was taken into consideration by the question setter.
In short, apart from the fact that there was no group part in the group exam, this arrangement was very suitable. The dungeon that each of the three of them faced would not be able to be completed with the same effect as it was with another person.
Compared to the previous two copies where the unscrupulous test setters threw them into the examination room to fight without any regard, Azmis's plan this time was indeed very thorough and did not cheat anyone.
"So the first two exams were indeed set by that Dr. Contradiction, right?" Jason said. "Whether it was the silent airdrop, the direct delivery of no questions or information, or that blinding dance animation, the wickedness remains the same. What kind of wicked adult is this?"
"Yes." Benjamin, who knew the truth, looked at Li Hua and said, "Although you can be considered a colleague of Dr. Contradiction from another world, you must not become such a person in the future."
Li. The future wicked adult himself. Hua laughed dryly and continued to eat his hamburger.
"Come on, man, I don't want to waste my whole day at a fast food restaurant."
After saying this, Jason lowered his voice so that only they could hear it.
"We're being followed."
