Chapter 22: Long-lost Fear

Bruce was indeed very busy. He didn't even stay for dinner and went back, but he didn't take Lei Xiaogu with him.

Obviously, he was very hesitant about how to deal with the other party.

First of all, it is unrealistic to put him in prison... Bruce, who had been taught by the other party, understood that Gotham’s prison was nothing more than a leaky thatched hut to the master assassin.

From detention to escape, it would not take more than seven hours.

But killing the other person?
Bruce couldn't do it, nor did he think he should do it.

In the end, it was only Master Du Mu who could help his disciple solve his problems.

"I will detain him, don't worry, I won't kill him. Don't look at me like that, I'm not a bloodthirsty person."

As a master, Du Mu fully tolerated Bruce's willfulness.

Just like he tolerates those disabled kids.

If you don’t want to kill him, then don’t kill him... To be honest, Du Mu really didn’t want to kill Lei Xiaogu.

After all, there was finally a time-travelling object that I could experiment with at will without feeling any qualms about it.

Du Mu showed a generous and kind smile, and he was already a little impatient in his heart...

When Lei Xiaogu woke up again, he felt severe pain in his abdomen.

But he could bear it.

This pain was nothing compared to the pain he experienced during the resurrection at the Pool of Lazarus.

Lei Xiaogu closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, ignored the pain on a mental level, treated the pain as a normal piece of information, and then opened his eyes again.

Before his eyes had adjusted to the dimness in the room, the door was pushed open and soft moonlight poured in, letting Lei Xiaogu know that it was already night.

"you're awake?"

Lei Xiaogu frowned. It was so unlucky to be discovered just after waking up.

He was originally thinking that the other party was really careless and stupid for not tying a rope around himself.

But it doesn't matter if I'm discovered... As long as I find an opportunity...

"Yes, you are the one with the best quality among this group of people."

Du Mu stood at the door, with his back to the moonlight, his eyes bright due to the surging internal energy.

He wanted to be serious, but looking at Lei Xiaogu, he couldn't help but smile.

This group of people?
Lei Xiaogu carefully sensed his surroundings and found that there were indeed two people unconscious in the corner.

But this is not important. At this moment, Lei Xiaogu's heart was filled with alarm. He rolled over in a panic, trying to hide behind the firewood pile.

But after all, one of his kidneys was broken by Harry, and he was not as flexible as he was in his heyday.

A flash of cold light flashed, and Lei Xiaogu felt a sharp pain in his right arm. Turning his head, he was horrified to find that his right arm was broken at the root!
What weapon did he use? I didn't even see it clearly!
Du Mu loosened his fingers and blew on them as if he had just fired a gun.

"Whoo~"

On a cold night, the hot breath really seemed like the smoke being blown away.

Harry's magic is so useful.

In the past, Du Mu couldn't even let his true Qi leave his body, but now, he can condense the true Qi that leaves his body into threads, and then wield it like a sword out of its sheath.

If he had this skill in the past, Du Mu could have chopped the so-called masters of the Beggars' Sect into small pieces the moment they rushed over.

"Who on earth are you!"

Lei Xiaogu covered his broken arm and questioned angrily with gritted teeth.

Du Mu walked into the woodshed and picked up Lei Xiaogu's severed arm from the ground. Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you really care who I am? If I cut off your arm, you will just want to kill me."

As he said that, he walked out with his arm lifted, and turned back to show a gentle smile again: "So you asked me who I am, just because you subconsciously feel that it is impossible for you to kill me now, right?"

In short, I was subconsciously a little bit cowardly.

Veins popped up on Lei Xiaogu's forehead, but he forced himself to calm down. It had been many years since he had been mocked like this.

Thinking of this, Lei Xiaogu strangely calmed down and looked at his current situation coldly.

Since the other party wants to provoke me, I must not let the enemy succeed.

Lei Xiaogu began to recall the information he had. He came here suddenly when he fell into an alley while struggling with Bruce.

So it's magic? Some kind of teleportation spell?
The other party's initial communication with Bruce was also in Chinese. It seems that the other party used an Eastern magic called Qigong.

But I have never heard that Eastern magic can create teleportation arrays.

In short, if this is that great Eastern country, it is too far away from Gotham.

Fortunately, the Assassin's League has a branch in Japan. If I find a way to ask for help, they should be able to find me within 24 hours.

Then I just need to not be killed for 24 hours...

But Lei Xiaogu brainstormed for a long time and just finalized the action plan, but found that the strange figure had left.

Lei Xiaogu's brain was a little out of order.

Because the other party's departure...really, he just picked up his arms and legs and walked away.

No doors closed, no doors locked, no restrictions placed on myself.

The blue veins on Lei Xiaogu's forehead were pumping again.

The other party...just looks down on me like this?
Do you look down on the Assassin's League?!
Lei Xiaogu's eyes were full of coldness.

He will make the other party regret it...

It will definitely make the other person regret coming into this world!

I must kill everyone he cares about, torture them to death, throw them into the Lazarus Pool to resurrect them, and then torture them to death again!
If it was just a simple taunt, Lei Xiaogu could still use it as a psychological technique to provoke himself.

But this kind of disregard, this way of treating oneself as a nobody, is undoubtedly the ultimate insult to those in high positions.

As for Du Mu...he didn't think too much about it.

I just felt that with Lei Xiaogu's current condition, as long as he walked out of the woodshed and turned around, I could chop off his head with the magic thread.

When you have the means to kill your enemy instantly, it is difficult for you to take him seriously from the bottom of your heart.

Du Mu lifted Lei Xiaogu's arm, pushed open the door of the martial arts hall, and walked out slowly.

At the same time, he focused almost all his attention on Lei Xiaogu's arm.

"call out……"

There was the sound of air flowing.

Silently, Lei Xiaogu's arm disappeared from Du Mu's hand.

When Du Mu turned his head slightly, he heard Lei Xiaogu's heavy breathing in the woodshed.

Sure enough, the choice of using body parts for the experiment first was the right one.

Otherwise, it would be equivalent to directly releasing Lei Xiaogu back to Gotham...the consequences would be too serious.

I spoke out of turn to Bruce and greatly embarrassed my master. I may not be so decisive when speaking in the future.

And it was impossible for Du Mu to use Bruce and Harry to do this kind of experiment. It was really God who was kind and helped others to achieve their goals, and sent Lei Xiaogu to his martial arts school.

Du Mu turned around and met the eyes of Lei Xiaogu who was struggling to walk out of the woodshed.

Du Mu smiled gently again.

And Lei Xiaogu...for the first time in a hundred years, felt a chill in his heart.

That was the long-lost fear.
