[Comprehensive Yingmi] It’s all the face that hurt me

Jason opened his eyes on the sofa, he turned over, the first thing he wanted to do was to find Atal.

The urgency was unprecedented, and his heart was beating violently, driving Jason to do something... This is not a good omen.

But when he sat up, he was taken aback because a figure floated in front of him, looking down at Jason with a confused face.

"... Atar?" He recognized the man's name, his voice paused, "Why are you here?"

To be honest, in that strange dream, Jason really let himself go, so much so that now seeing the Lord appearing in front of him, his first reaction was to feel guilty.

The other party was brought back to his senses by his voice, and his eyes gradually became clear. However, Atar's expression was still a little tangled, as if he was also very puzzled by the scene in front of him.

"Just now... Phantom Thief?" Atal asked intermittently.

Jason wished he could forget what happened before: "..."

"No, what's happening now is even more unreasonable." He said, looking at his body.

When Jason came back to his senses, he found that the other party was actually floating in the air without any tools. This incident was even more terrifying than him appearing in Jason's room out of thin air.

"I'm translucent." Attar said, he reached out his hand to Jason, motioning for the other to put his hand up, "shake hands."

Jason paused, he pulled out his hand, and slowly placed it in Atar's hand.

But as he thought, although Jason stopped deliberately at the moment of overlapping, it still seemed to be placed on a cloud of air, without the warm touch that should have come into contact with the real thing.As soon as he closed his fingers, he passed through Atar's palm in mid-air, and rushed to nothing, panic surged up like a sudden tide.

His hand slid down and fell to his side again, then he clenched it quietly.

An emotion that could be called anxiety was born in his heart, as if some opportunity appeared before his eyes and was about to slip away, just like the forgotten first meeting between him and the other party a long time ago.

Jason raised his head and looked at Atar floating in the air. The other party withdrew his hand, shook his head easily at him, and concluded: "It seems that it can't be touched."

Seeing that he was trying to make Jason not worry too much, his sanity began to return.

Could it be that the actions of Atal he stole in the dream really had any impact on the real world...?

Jason was a little annoyed and angry. Although his emotions were aimed at that strange female voice, it was more of a disgust for his credulousness...

"It seems that my soul is out of my body." Attar said, "And I have a feeling..."

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Atar floating to the door, his ghostly body passed through the door, but it was only half stuck and could not move, as if an invisible rope was tied between the two of them, blocking Attar's departure.

When Atar exerted all his strength, Jason was also staggered, fell on the sofa and rolled over. He had no doubt that if Atar continued to move forward at this time, he would be dragged on the ground like a broom .

"Stop," Jason stood up and stopped his movements, "This is not right."

Atal turned his head and measured the distance between them with his eyes. It was only 20 meters at most, which was the furthest distance between him and Jason.

"...Call them out and let those guys know about it." Jason said with some headaches, "I'm starting to have a bad feeling now."

……

Twenty minutes later, everyone was sitting on the sofa in the living room of Wayne Manor. Jason and Atal were on the same sofa, while the others were all crowded on the same sofa, staring at Jay from the opposite side. Sen made the latter turn sideways uncomfortably, as if he was being interrogated.

With just one glance, Jason was sure that the group of people remembered what happened in the dream.

...so shameful.

"I'm a little sad," said Dick, with Damian sitting to his left, "that you're kidding everyone."

Tim added: "And kicked me."

Damian wasn't drawn into the dream, so his vision was slightly blank.

But soon, he realized what had happened from the expressions of the people around him, so he simply hugged the black dog in his arms, and stabbed Jason's body with his eyes like a knife.

"Todd, what do you mean, just now you entered a dream, where you were a strange thief, and then tricked everyone, stupidly fell into a woman's trick, and successfully stole Atal?"

Jason said, "Almost."

He just wanted to reveal the specific content of this dream quickly, and now he felt vaguely annoyed when he thought of how frivolous he was, and he thought that no one but him would remember.

"But that's not the point, why Attar became what he is now."

Jason wanted to change the subject, he looked around, Bruce was not there, and this discovery made him frown.

"...Bruce is still in Star City," Dick knew what Jason was thinking when he saw his eyes, and he said helplessly, "That's right, we're the only ones here."

To be honest, although Jason can usually avoid dealing with Batman, but when encountering things beyond the scope of understanding, he expects Batman to appear here.Because it was Batman, even if Jason didn't like him, he had to admit that Gotham needed Batman.

Moreover, Jason and the others learned their initial investigative abilities from Batman, and their behavior always carried some shadows of the past, which they could not deny or get rid of no matter what.

The Bat family is a family that seems to be quite loose at ordinary times, but once something happens, with Batman as the backbone, everyone will become more cautious and efficient. Although not long ago they still hated each other, this does not prevent They fight together.

"...How is Atal's body?" Dick's voice asked, he found the key, "Have you checked it?"

He sat up slightly, Chris was right, this is a reliable adult, when Bruce is not around, he becomes the natural responsibility bearer of the family.

As soon as his words fell, Chris' figure appeared at the stairs, and Damian raised his face to look at him. The Kryptonian boy looked sullen and shook his head at all of them.

Jason stood up: "What does this mean?"

Chris glanced at him: "Attar's body is gone."

As soon as this sentence came out, the whole hall fell silent.

"What does it mean that the body is gone?" Damian let go, and the black dog fell off the sofa, jumped up the stairs, curled up at Chris' feet, and was ignored by him.

The other party walked down with steps, and the black dog followed at his heels. Chris raised his eyes and said, "Literally, you lost his body."

Dick couldn't believe it: "...This is impossible, this is Wayne Manor."

He was right, even though Alfred had visited relatives in the UK a week earlier and Bruce was not in Gotham, the security system at Wayne Manor would not have gone wrong.Even if a flying bird flies by, it will leave warning signs. This is not a place where you can break into it, so it is absolutely impossible for Atar to disappear silently.

Even if the bats are dragged by the dream, they will receive this news as soon as they wake up.

And Damian's expression was like someone punched him, he frowned, feeling the anger of being provoked: "It's fine if you are sleeping, but I was not pulled into the dream, but I didn't receive any alarm .”

Not only that, but if Dick hadn't come and told him what happened, Damian would have continued to be the only one who didn't know.

"I'm telling the truth, it should be magic." Chris could only say this, and his expression looked ugly, "His body was taken away."

Immediately an image of a person emerged in their minds—Konstantin.

Only this guy can come and go freely in Wayne Manor, and this ceremony must require a top black magician to participate in it. In summary, the Assassin Alliance can only find one person.

Definitely Constantine.

What is this guy doing again.

Atar was still floating in the air, it was impossible for him to sit on the sofa, so he just controlled himself to rise up, showing the illusion that he could still touch the real object, trying to calm down those people opposite him.

He was the most detached person in the room, and Jason couldn't help but glance at him, wondering why he was so calm.

Atal noticed his gaze and turned his head to wink at him. Jason suddenly looked away, like a piece of paper touched by flames, afraid of being ignited by the other's gaze.

Dick's inquiring eyes turned around between him and Atar, but he probably realized that this was not a good time to ask questions, so he didn't speak.

Jason decided to tell what he had discovered before being dragged into the dreamland. He looked at Atar: "On the night you left... Star City, I went to find Thalia Ogu from the League of Assassins."

Damian suddenly raised his head because of the name: "...Mother? What did she do to Atal?"

"She found me and just mentioned you." Attar said, he didn't want Damian to worry too much.

"..." Damian lowered his head and said in a low voice, "It's definitely not a good word."

Atar observed his face and found that Damian's expression was not lying, which means that Talia knew from other channels that Damian had contacted him, and he didn't even tell the boy, and directly passed the other party and contacted him. met.

Damian looked very distraught, but none of the people present made any sarcasm because of this, but left him private space.

Judging from his life experience, Damian is also considered the most miserable of them, and they are not qualified to say some clichés about his rare weakness at the moment.

"Thalia told me something," Jason said, "that she was just an enforcer, so to speak."

Jason and Talia had some entanglements in the past. On the one hand, he hated this woman, but on the other hand, he had to admit that Talia helped him a lot when he returned to Gotham.

If she hadn't thrown Jason into the Lazarus Spring, Jason would still be wandering in front of the garbage dump in some alley at this time, and he would never have a chance to remember who he was in his life.

This time, Talia acted as if she had expected him to come to his door. She handed him a USB flash drive and told her plan.

——Create Atar, and use the opponent to draw out the incarnation of Nyarlathotep.

This plan is not as simple as it seems, Thalia wants to maximize the benefits of everything.

The current leader of the League of Assassins is Reshaw Ogu, a demon who has lived for thousands of years. If he does not die, Thalia will have no chance to truly master the League of Assassins.She has long been tired of the other party's appearance. There is cold and cruel blood in Augu's blood. If Thalia hadn't been unable to kill Lei Xiao, she would have done so long ago.

So... Nyarlathotep is a tool.

As far as she knew, anyone who met this incarnation of the Outer God would pay a heavy or light price. After all, they had provoked a moody, inhuman creature.

Thalia is willing to bet the probability of a few percent to deal with Lei Xiao.

After all, her father, Lei Xiao, didn't even know that Atal's identity as the "key" was real, and thought it was just false news from Talia, and this omission would lead to the death of the other party.

"He thought I was trying to mess up Star City and prepare the stage for the League of Assassins, but that's not the case," Jason remembered the other party's curly hair, and she looked quite calm. "That's a purpose too, but the reason he acquiesced in my putting in so much effort is—"

His voice paused, and everyone continued to look at Jason, waiting for him to tell the next clue.

But Damian suddenly raised his head, he inserted Jason's words, and said coldly: "Because my grandfather, Reshaw Ogu, has been looking for a new body for a long time."

As soon as this sentence came out, Dick yelled out immediately: "How could it be?! As long as Lei Xiao Augu thinks about it, he can continue to live with the help of Lazarus Spring Water. He has lived like this for thousands of years, why should he... "

He stopped, and he reacted first.

Lazarus spring water has a limit to the repair of the body, and Lei Xiao Aogu has been soaked countless times in order to live forever, and he has already been riddled with holes. He urgently needs another strong, young and healthy body as a container.

"...I was a candidate for my grandfather's body before." Damian continued, "So I can't hate my mother. I still wonder if she really..."

...do you really love him.

Otherwise, wouldn't be so hasty to avoid his grandfather sending him to Batman in Gotham as a so-called undercover agent.Although it is an indisputable fact that Thalia sent a killer to kill him later, there is always a secret expectation in his heart, that is, whether Talia really loved him as a mother for a moment.

"He doesn't deserve you to call him grandfather." Dick put his hand on Damian's shoulder, and instead of shaking him off, he looked away.

"...So, Atar is Lei Xiao Augu's body candidate. The failure of the Star City mission this time means that the other party can use his body as a value, right?" Tim completed all the questions. message.

He tried to put Rashaw's point of view on the whole thing—this was the moment Rashaw had been waiting for, because he had never been so satisfied with such an exorcism.

The power of Krypton, the strongest human being, and the talent of magic.

Even Tim himself can imagine the other party's ecstatic heart.

"Then, Lei Xiao Augu will pay the price, because Talia released the news, and the evil god will find it, but Lei Xiao will not know the news."

"When his avatar discovers that the 'key' has changed consciousness, it may make unpredictable actions." Atal said slowly, "... Talia is really a smart woman."

...Reshaw August would never know what kind of colossus was approaching him.

No wonder Thalia pinpointed the timing, and said some specious things to Bruce at the elevator entrance, all with the purpose of leading Atal to Gotham, and attracting the attention of the Outer God, using a powerful Assassin League Irresistible non-humans come to solve their own troubles.

She even used Lei Xiao's ritual of obtaining a body, because he needed Lazarus spring water as a medium, but the spring water would only attract the outer gods more quickly, bringing him closer to death.

The ritual of occupying the body must be ready somewhere, otherwise Atar's consciousness would not be squeezed out and trapped here.

Chris' voice came in, and he said blankly: "That is to say, Atar's body was taken away by the League of Assassins to drain the last bit of value, and a lunatic named Lei Xiao Aogu will occupy his body." Body."

Atar himself was given a headache by the twists and turns: "...it's probably like this."

Can't there be less routine and more sincerity?

He called the system a few times in his heart, but there was no response at all.

Unlike the previous few times when the system deliberately ignored him, Atar can be sure that the other party has disappeared this time.

During this conversation, he should have completed the last mission [Secret of Blood], and now it seems that this should be the answer to the mystery. Atar was serially used as a tool by the Assassin Alliance, but the system did not make any movement. See Only his consciousness was squeezed out of the body, and the system remained in the original body.

It's like a ticking time bomb, but Atar won't say it, he'll keep it as a trump card.

"In Gotham." Jason said, and Tim nodded at him. "We've made a point, it should be around the port."

Chris closed his eyes, and he listened to the sound of the entire Gotham. This is a city of crime, and every sound is like a firefly in a dark jungle. The difference is only in the brightness. He has heard Atal's It was not difficult to find the sound of heartbeat after training... But he searched several times, but he couldn't hear the familiar sound.

—there must be lead objects around him, blocking the Kryptonian's super hearing.

Chris opened his eyes and shook his head towards the bats: "No."

It was only a matter of time before they could find out where Atal's body was, but... what they lack most now is time.

Atar looked down at his palm again, it seemed to be more transparent, he didn't know how much time he had left.

"I'm going to contact Bruce." Dick stood up and said, "He should have escaped from the dream too."

Just when the bats were about to take the next step, a large circle of sparkling and shining debris suddenly appeared in the middle of the living room, a foot stepped out, and then there was a violent sound of the cloak passing through the airflow, a figure It fell out and landed right in the middle of them, groaning in pain.

Everyone stared at this strange man who suddenly appeared, putting on a state of vigilance.

The other party was dressed as a magician, and the red cloak flew around, as if trying to attract the attention of the people present, but was held down by its owner with one hand, and was forcibly suppressed behind him.

"—Hello, everyone," the man stood up straight, pointing to the teleportation circle that gradually closed behind him, "I'm passing right here."

It must have fallen from the sky, right...

"You can call me Doctor Strange, or Stephen," Stephen coughed, and said, "I was commissioned by Tony Stark. I heard that there is a ritual related to black magic here. What can I help?"

Doctor Strange is a magician who just appeared some time ago. He is as famous as Constantine in the dark world. This is a powerful man with a time gem.

"...I heard that you don't belong to the Avengers, and you don't have a good relationship with Iron Man." Dick said, he didn't let his guard down, "You have no reason to appear here suddenly."

Stephen emphasized: "Iron Man paid a fee."

So what about the magician, he still has to eat.

"..."

This reason is very good
