Chapter 38 Chapter 38 Gotham 24 Hours
After the three of them took turns apologizing to No. 666, Jason continued, "I know that thinking this way will lead to nothing, so I set a deadline for myself. I'll use the excuse of running away from home as an excuse to go back and get things sorted out before Christmas at the latest. If it goes well, I'll stay for Christmas. If it goes badly, I'll..."
Li Hua: "You're going to blow up Batman's house to make Christmas fireworks?"
Jason: "...I'll just give the old guy a good fight and slam the door and leave... What are you thinking! Batman isn't the only one in my family. I have a good relationship with the rest of the family!"
Li Hua: "Don't choose Christmas. The Christmas buff is a double-edged sword for your cultural background. If you can't bear it and restart the game, how can you be worthy of me? How can you be worthy of my potion! I gave you my third life!"
Jason laughed, speaking from the bottom of his heart. "How can it possibly be reopened? If I were that mentally fragile, I would have died when my adoptive mother and biological father died one after another. I wouldn't have survived until Batman took me back."
"That's hard to say," Benjamin said. "In a fit of rage, people can do many unexpected things, some good, some bad. For example, when I was extremely angry and sad, I would rather the life of the universe be shortened than I could beat Azmis."
Jason: Huh???
"What did you say you did?"
Li Hua: "It's okay. Azmis was worth it at that time."
Benjamin nodded. "Yes, he deserves it. And his personality has changed a lot since then. We have a good relationship now."
Jason: "Is that the point? Benjamin, what on earth did you do to shorten the life of the universe?"
Benjamin: "I accidentally broke the Omnitrix. It's fine now. Azmis taught me how to disable the Omnitrix's self-destruct command afterward. Anyway, that's not the point. The point is that when you're calm, you can't predict what you'll do when you're in a state of collapse."
Li Hua and Benjamin echoed each other, "That's right, it's better to do it today than to wait for a day. I just happened to run into Nightwing today, and I haven't even changed my clothes yet. How could such a coincidence happen in the world? It's clearly fate. Let's go ask him now!"
"Nightwing must have left the dock by now." Jason wanted to struggle a bit, he wasn't mentally prepared yet. "Besides, there's no one to take care of the children. It's not a good idea to carry them over with you..."
Li Hua: "Then Benjamin stays behind to take care of the cubs, and I'll go with you. As you said, my staff is very conspicuous when flying in the sky, so let's use it as a missing person notice."
Benjamin: "I'll put them in the sun for now, and then I'll come find you."
It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one. If this matter cannot be dealt with without any result, it will become a thorn in Jason's heart. It is better to pull it out as soon as possible.
Jason finally seems to be feeling a bit relieved, but he should strike while the iron is hot!
Half an hour later, Jason, who was circling Blüdhaven on his pink and white magic wand, said:
"Maybe he's finished his night patrol. Why don't we go back? We're already in Blüdhaven anyway, so it doesn't matter if we come back later."
Li Hua: "Didn't you say your family has a tradition of night patrols? It's only 11 o'clock and he's already finished his night patrol? Back home, the night market isn't even over by 11 o'clock!"
Benjamin, who transformed into an ice ghost and flew with him, said: "Maybe he didn't see it. It doesn't matter. If we still can't find it, we can go down and beat up the thug and use his phone to call the police. Nightwing was able to find us in such a remote place like the dock just now. I have a reasonable suspicion that he hacked into the police communication."
Jason: ...You guessed it right.
"Benjamin is right. We can't find it after flying for so long, so let's find some lucky rookie scumbag and call the police."
After getting Benjamin's approval and Jason's acquiescence, Li Hua lowered his staff, lowered his altitude and began to hover at low altitude to facilitate the search for the lucky guest in prison.
Just as Li Hua was flying past a building, he suddenly felt a pulling weight at the end of the staff. Li Hua looked back and found that there was a hook-like thing tied to the top of the staff. A long line connected to the top floor of a building not far away, and was in the hands of a person with a blue bird-shaped pattern on his chest.
That was Nightwing, he was waving over here, motioning them to come over.
Li Hua, Ye Yi and Benjamin were ecstatic.
Great, it’s not Air Force today!
And the other person seems to be the type who can talk well!
As soon as he landed, Nightwing didn't even have time to say the friendly opening line he had prepared, "Hello, I'm Nightwing, what are your names?", before he was blocked by Ice Ghost's words: "You are the brother of the second generation Robin, right?"
Although Nightwing didn't know why Ice Ghost suddenly mentioned his dead brother, he still answered: "Yes, what's wrong?"
Jason took a deep breath, took off his mask and walked forward: "Well... can we talk about this?"
Nightwing: ...
Nightwing recalled the nightmare he had when Scarecrow used fear toxin to see Jason's dead body when he first arrived in Blüdhaven. He couldn't keep his smile at the face that looked exactly like his dead brother. He became serious and asked, "What's going on?"
Jason's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Dick looked really angry.
Come to think of it, after being resurrected, he didn't go home but ran away from home, and even let him fly a kite several times...
Li Hua: "Aren't you happy that your brother is home? Even though he ran away for a few days, he just came back from the dead! Back from the dead! Do you understand the value of coming back from the dead? You should at least welcome him!"
Nightwing growled, "...Don't joke with the dead!"
Nightwing's anger didn't seem fake, and now the three of them were confused.
That's not right. Why doesn't Nightwing look like he knows that Jason is resurrected?
Li Hua: "Wait a minute, you didn't know? Jason's been resurrected for a week! Didn't you get a call from the police saying his grave was empty?"
Correction #666: [There is no week. You and Benjamin have been in this world for six days, and Jason has been resurrected for only five days.]
Benjamin immediately replied, "Correction: Resurrection in five days. But haven't you heard anything in five days?"
"No, I haven't heard of this." Nightwing looked at the expressions of the three people and they didn't seem fake. He was also confused now. He was wondering if these three kids had been brainwashed or fooled. "Are you sure you are really Jason?"
"……ha."
Jason was so speechless and amused by this outrageous reality that he punched him.
"I'm going to prove to you, Dick Head, who I am!"
…
"So, little Wing, you're really alive!" Nightwing, whose right cheek was bruised, hugged Jason tightly, whose forehead was red and swollen. The good news of his family being found made his voice tremble. "That's great, welcome home!"
Although reason tells Nightwing that resurrection from the dead is very unusual, he needs to find out what happened and make further inquiries to confirm whether this is the real Jason.
But at this moment, Nightwing's emotions and sixth sense shouted "I think so, talk later!" and punched his reason into the ground.
Li Hua was shocked to see Nightwing and Jason engaging in a long-lasting all-out fight and unlimited combat, and seeing them suddenly hug each other excitedly after beating each other up.
What on earth had just happened? He only saw Jason suddenly abandon his dignity and rush forward while shouting "dickhead" and "fuck".
And then you just said that?
Although I had heard from Benjamin before that it was normal for superhero families to fight, hearing about it was not as shocking as seeing it in person.
Are the family relationships of you superheroes directly proportional to the number of visits to massage parlors and orthopedic hospitals?
If this is the way to communicate, wouldn't Jason have to fight Batman again when he returns? Would Nightwing help him then?
Otherwise, Jason alone would definitely not be able to compare with Batman, who has been in the industry for many years, in terms of experience, age or physical fitness. If the battle ends too quickly, how can the communication efficiency be improved?
Why not ask them if this family communication method can support foreign aid when there is a huge gap in combat power? If it can, Benjamin can go and help. If not...
Then he would wait for the right moment to activate the [Time] card, and then secretly throw pebbles at Batman's feet to delay him.
Li Hua was lost in thought when he saw the Ice Ghost approaching him from the corner of his eye and whispering in his ear, "Remind me, when we get home, tell Jason not to swear in front of the kids."
They were all beaten up, and that's the point... Well, Benjamin's family beat them even more outrageously than Jason's, so he is unlikely to be shocked by this. What mothers should pay more attention to is the civilized language used by children.
Even with the system's built-in translation capabilities, Li Hua couldn't understand some of the words Jason cursed out just now, and guessed that they had extended meanings.
However, judging from Benjamin's silent retreat and slow movement towards him, the words Jason cursed at were probably not very civilized or harmonious.
After the brothers hugged each other sincerely, they started to exchange secret codes. After that, Nightwing believed that "the Jason in front of him is my brother Jason" nine and a half points, and the remaining half point was respect for the DNA testing technology.
However, the overlap rate and similarity have reached such a level that if the DNA test results are wrong, even Batman would not reject it completely, but would go out, turn left and ask the magic side to come and take a look to find out whether it is hypnosis, possession or some special situation.
Nightwing: "So what did you originally want to talk to me about?"
After being interrupted like this, Jason finally remembered his original purpose: "What did B do after I died?"
Oh, it's over.
Nightwing suddenly realized that the fact that Batman had found three generations of Robin and that the Joker was still alive was really wrong in the eyes of the resurrected Jason.
No wonder Jason didn't go home immediately after coming back to life but ran to Bludhaven instead.
He had wondered before why Jason didn't go home after being resurrected, but now it seems that it was completely reasonable for Jason not to go home. In this case, Jason even calmed down and came to his elder brother to ask about the situation after running away from home for less than a week.
When he learned that Bruce had found a second Robin not long after he left, he immediately exploded and argued with Bruce and Jason! In comparison, Jason, who just left quietly and sulked for a few days, was simply understanding, gentle and amiable.
"I admit that B was wrong in this matter. When I found out about it later, I rushed over and had a big fight with him." Nightwing said, "But the third generation Robin's situation is different from ours. He wasn't picked up by B, and even though he's been adopted as our brother, he's not actually an orphan."
Jason, who actually didn't want to ask that, couldn't help but become curious: "What's going on?"
How did an orphan get his resume in the Batcave? Could it be Bruce's illegitimate child from his youth?
Nightwing: "He found out the true identities of me and Batman. After realizing that Batman's behavior had gotten too out of control after... you left, he came to us and said that Batman couldn't do without Robin, and offered to be Robin."
Jason: “…Huh?”
Li Hua: Wow, BOSS Direct Hiring!
Benjamin: Jason was talking about me. Batman and Robin were both disguised, but their true identities were still revealed. So it doesn't matter if I don't use a disguise and continue heroic activities. I'll be discovered anyway.
Jason praised sincerely, "I thought stealing the Batmobile's tires was pretty brave, but I didn't expect someone to be even more skilled than me. Is this kid from the League of Assassins or the FBI?"
"No, he comes from an ordinary family. His parents were put into witness protection due to an incident and moved under a new name, so he's now adopted by B. As for the Batmobile you mentioned... maybe you don't know, someone even more courageous has appeared."
Nightwing shifted his gaze to Benjamin, who was wearing a cloak made of wings, and spoke earnestly.
"Five days ago, your blue friend ate the Batmobile in three bites within five minutes of Batman leaving, leaving only four wheels running in different directions in the alley, without even a trace of his back."
“Huh?” Benjamin, who had no idea what the Ice Ghost had done during that period of being out of control, raised a finger in disbelief. “Me?”
"It could also be one of your kind," Nightwing said. "According to eyewitnesses and surveillance footage, the creature that ate the Batmobile looks exactly like you, and has the same green symbol on its chest."
"Oh, I remember now! That's what happened!"
Li Hua slapped his head and said to Benjamin with sudden realization.
"Before I plunged into the cemetery with the out-of-control Ice Ghost and dug Jason out, you did eat a car. Because there were no casualties and a lot of things happened afterwards, I forgot about it. It turns out that you ate the Batmobile at that time!"
After listening to Li Hua's additional explanation, everyone was in awe.
In other words, within 24 hours of arriving in Gotham, Benjamin and Li Hua packed up Batman's car and son and took them away without anyone knowing.
When they reviewed it before, they thought it was "24 Hours to Survive in Gotham", but now it seems that it should be called "24 Hours to Pack in Gotham"!
