"No." Dick shook his head. He remembered that Sixing couldn't see his movements in the dark, so he changed his words: "I was a member of a Gotham circus before I was nine years old. My father, Mother and I are members of Gotham's famous 'Flying Grayson' family."

Si Xing became interested. He had never been to a circus, and his latest contact was just watching the invited circus troupe from a distance on the ship. Those invited guys did not have particularly powerful skills.

But it is a good pastime for passengers who are bored on the ship.

"Oh? What's that like?" Si Xing asked.

"My God—haven't you heard of us?" Dick said in a surprised tone.

Si Xing frowned slightly, he laughed and said, "Should I have heard of you?"

"Of course. You must know that 'Flying Grayson' has always been the most famous show in the circus, and every time the circus poster is always me and my family." Dick said excitedly.

Si Xing guessed that if it wasn't for Dick still holding him, Dick might have described it to him exaggeratedly with his hands outstretched. Thinking of that scene, Si Xing couldn't help chuckling.

Hearing Si Xing's chuckle, Dick rolled his eyes and continued: "The show that my family and I are best at is 'Trapeman'."

Immediately in Si Xing's mind was a person who walked and danced on a tightrope, and he knew that.

"It is our family tradition to hug our family tightly at Christmas, which indicates that we will also be closely connected next year." Dick may have thought of something, and there was a little smile in his words.

At that time, he was still a small man, and his parents hugging him from left to right would make him uncomfortable, and he couldn't even reach out to hug his parents. His biggest dream at that time was to grow up and be able to hug back Two people, that was definitely his happiest time.

"For the best performance of the show, we don't carry any protection, so it's important for us to be 'tie together'."

He could feel the happiness in Dick's words.

Si Xing squinted his eyes and asked, "Your parents allowed you to be Batman's little follower?"

Sixing always felt that going out to Gotham in the middle of the night like Batman was too dangerous, and Dick's parents actually agreed with him?

Si Xing could feel the body that belonged to Dick close to him stiffen, Dick lowered his eyes, and the smile on his face became stiff, and Si Xing vaguely guessed something from Dick's movements, before he had time to say 'if that Will make you sad you don't have to say it. 'This sentence.

"They passed away." Dick's voice was soft, his eyes darkened.

"When I was nine years old, it was a normal day, we climbed the ropes, jumped, twirled, clung to them, and flew through the air amid the cheers of the audience.."

"The steel wire broke, and my parents grabbed my hands and threw me onto the intact section."

"I just watched them, my parents held each other tightly, looked up at me, and fell to the ground." Dick's voice was already very low when he said this.

"By the time the doctor arrived, it was too late and my parents had lost their heartbeat."

Dick said softly: "And when they fell, I just hung upside down on the section and looked at them, unable to move at all in fear. This accident was man-made, because the circus offended a big boss, so someone wanted to kill him Let's teach the circus a lesson."

Si Xing's pupils shrank as if they had been pricked by a small needle. In his eyes, Dick was a very cheerful and happy person, always with a sincere smile, welcomed by everyone, like the sun, it was hard to imagine, Such a man is from Gotham.

So in Si Xing's heart, Dick is a person whose life has been surrounded by happiness since he was a child. This is also the first time Si Xing has heard about other people's past. Comfort Dick.

Fortunately, Dick didn't intend to wait for Si Xing to speak to comfort him, and he smiled again. "Fortunately, Batman found me, he taught me to let go of hatred, and taught me how to be 'Robin', he saved me."

Si Xing knew that it was actually Batman and Dick who saved each other.

Si Xing stared at Dick's eyes that were darkened by what he just said. Can he trust Dick Grayson?

He wants to try.

Si moved his lips and began to tell about his past, a past he had never mentioned to anyone.

"I was trafficked on an international ship when I was very young..."

Dick was a little surprised, he only knew about Asa Cartel's fictitious past and a part of the criminal history of the Origami Phantom Thief.

All he knew about Si Xing was what Si Xing showed him, and sometimes Dick felt it was incredible that he would be unable to extricate himself from the love that Si Xing showed.

Dick has met many girls in the past, but no one can make him as persistent as Si Xing.

Since Dick knew Si Xing, Si Xing had always been alone, and Poison Ivy and Catwoman were definitely not his relatives, so Si Xing's childhood would not have been very happy.

"If you're going to feel bad, don't say it. I didn't tell you about my childhood to make you sad, and I'm sorry." Dick.

The direction of Si Xing's inquiry made him inevitably touch the past that he didn't want to recall, and he didn't want to hide it because of this, it's not a big deal, isn't it, he still has family now, he will be sad when he mentions the past, but he will never stagnate forward.

Sixing is different, he has no family, he may be stuck in the past.

Si Xing ignored Dick's words, he stared straight at the ground and continued persistently: "In the beginning, I just wanted to cut off my organs and sell them, but they were targeted by the CIA during that time, and they couldn't do anything about it." , put me on the ship as a child."

"Later, the ship still suffered, not because of organ trafficking, but because of drug trafficking. I went to Los Angeles to be with the children I met on the ship who were trafficked from various countries."

"Los Angeles is a cold and cruel city. Its indifference and cruelty lies in its ability to make its residents as cruel as it is, because my former partner with this face wants to sell me to some people with strange habits."

Si Xing felt that Dick's fingers that were holding onto his shoulders were tightened for a moment when he finished speaking, and he immediately relaxed in fear of pinching pain.

"They..." Dick's voice was low.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in Gotham. Every year in Gotham, children go missing. A few days later, the corpses are found. There are signs of being violated on the corpses.

Dick's parents protected Dick very well. The number of times Dick was glanced at in such a naked way since he was a child can only be counted. He never thought that Sixing would encounter such things.

Si Xing paused and continued: "Of course they didn't succeed. I escaped. I witnessed my only family member and brother who was beaten to death for helping me escape."

"In the past, I used to talk about dreams with me, telling about my brother who became a hero of robbers and robbed the rich and gave to the poor, and finally fell in a pool of blood, leaving me alone. I also awakened the power of mutants at that time."

"Then I've been running away. You know, this society is not friendly to mutants. When the mice are up and moving, that's when I go out for food. I have to hide before the morning sun breaks through the clouds."

"Later I met Professor Charles Xavier, and he wanted me to follow him to the Xavier Academy for Gifted Youth."

Dick naturally knew that Si Xing must not have gone, otherwise he would not have met Si Xing in Gotham. On the one hand, he hoped that Si Xing would go to X Academy, which would make Si Xing's life much easier. Xing didn't go to X Academy so Dick had the chance to meet Xing.

"I didn't go, I have my own things to do, I have my own ideas and choices, and I still have unreached goals." Si Xing said in a low voice.

"You should choose an easier way of life." Dick

"Sometimes life will give you no choice?" Si Xing sarcastically said.

"No, you have a choice." Dick's sea-colored eyes stared straight at Si Xing. "Let go of being an origami monster and be an ordinary person."

"I can't, I have to fulfill the promise I made with my brother in the past."

Dick pushed Si Xing to the ground with one hand, and carefully protected the back of Si Xing's head with the other hand. He pressed on Si Xing's body, his arms propped up on the ground, and phosphorus fire was burning in his eyes. "Asa Cartel, or Si Xing. You have no obligation to fulfill the agreement made by a dead man. Maybe your mind will speculate on the thoughts of him who is dead."

"Although I haven't met your 'elder brother', I think that those who can give up their lives to protect you from harm must hope that you can be safe, not those so-called 'promises'. "

"Why did you build a prison to imprison yourself?" Dick didn't know the details of Sixing's past experience, he only knew that Sixing needed help, and he needed to get out of the prison that imprisoned him.

Si Xing opened his mouth and wanted to say something to refute Dick, but Dick's next sentence completely blocked his mouth that wanted to say a rebuttal.

"You used to lose your family like I used to be, now I have my guide, my family. I want to be your family, guide you, hug you, kiss you, stand in your way before danger comes, Okay?" Dick's tone was extremely serious, and his eyes remained the same as before.

The surrounding area was very quiet, Dick could only hear his own heartbeat synchronized with Si Xing's, Dick swallowed softly, this was his second confession to Si Xing.

In the dark, Dick couldn't see Si Xing's expression clearly. He could have used the night vision goggles to observe Si Xing's expression, but Dick turned off the night vision goggles just after he finished saying this.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and Dick's heart sank little by little. He was still holding his breath, waiting for the confession that he guessed had little chance of success.

Dick was a little nervous until he heard a faint 'yes'.
