Chapter 2894 When Night Falls (XII)
Barbara could hardly believe her ears when the gate alarm sounded.
There is clearly nothing in the surveillance video!
When she switched the screen and looked again, she found that Jason was already fighting with someone. To be precise, Jason had been knocked down. The opponent might have been a shameless sneak attack, but no matter what, he had already fallen to the ground.
Barbara hurriedly began to use the intercom to notify others, especially Cassandra who was guarding Wayne Manor.
Barbara knew very well that Jason's physical skills were not weak. Even if the opponent attacked him by surprise, he should have some ability to resist. Since he was knocked down in the first encounter, it meant that the opponent's ability was far superior to his.
Cassandra is the only person Batman has admitted is not as good as her. This little girl can be said to be the strongest fighter on earth, and now she is the only one who can reverse the situation.
Cassandra soon appeared in front of the door of the Batcave, but an embarrassing scene occurred and she couldn't get in.
After the alarm was sounded, the door was locked and no one could get in. However, an intruder came in. Barbara didn't see how he got in, but the defense command successfully kept Cassandra out.
Damian was also well prepared. He met up with Tim, took a high-power ultraviolet lamp, holy water and a cross, hid two Bibles on his body, and even hung garlic.
“Did you see anything?” Damian looked around suspiciously. “Why do I seem to see a figure?”
"Don't scare yourself." Tim looked around and said, "The intruder can't stay invisible forever. Even if he turns into a bat and hides in a corner, Barbara will find him sooner or later..."
Click, click, click…
A strange collision sound was heard, and the two shuddered at the same time. Damian said, "See, I told you there might be something next to us!"
Tim listened carefully and thought it sounded like the sound of some bones hitting each other. The sound was somewhat regular. He listened more carefully and thought, isn't this Morse code?
"Run away..."
As soon as Tim said the word he had deciphered, his eyes suddenly lit up and a figure suddenly appeared in the center of the hall.
Batman in the lab looked at the screen on the monitor, then turned to Schiller and said, "Is this the opportunity you mentioned to break the impasse?"
Suddenly he stared at the eyebrows and eyes of the person in the picture. Although the white pupils looked a little weird, Batman was not looking at that. He looked at the structure of the person's brow bone and then at Schiller's.
"What is your relationship with him?" For Batman, this was not a question, because bone analysis could not be faked. The similarity between their brow bones was as high as 80%. There was no need to hide this degree of similarity.
"Is he your son?" Batman asked.
Schiller just smiled and said nothing.
This made Batman have some other guesses. The age difference between the two is normal, but if the fighting world is taken into consideration, there is another possibility, that is, the two are actually isomorphs from different universes.
Don’t think that the Batmen who enter the fighting world are all about the same age. Some of them who received the invitations have not been able to come for various reasons. If they were really together, there would probably be men, women, young and old.
So if the doctor named Schiller in front of him is also an invited player, then he may also meet his own selves as men, women, and children from other universes. The young man who suddenly appeared in the Bat Cave may not be his son, but his younger self.
The actual evidence for this inference is quite strong, because normally, the appearance inheritance between father and son does not reach 80%. One of the facial features may be very similar, but the bone structure cannot be so consistent. This makes sense if they are the same person.
However, the rebuttal argument may not be unreasonable. First of all, the person standing on the screen and the one sitting here now have completely different styles, right?
To take a step back, to become an excellent surgeon, the person standing on the screen should have studied in medical school.
But Batman didn't need to look to know that the man standing there had something in common with Dick - he was not a student at all.
And what surprised Batman most was that he had fangs.
"vampire?!"
Damian and Tim also exclaimed. Although there was no red light in the eyes and they did not see it transform into a bat, the fangs were the best evidence.
Although they expected a possible vampire invasion, they were still a little surprised when they actually saw it. Damian and Tim quickly set up the ultraviolet lamp and took out the cross as a weapon.
It's totally useless.
On the contrary, because they were in a hurry to prepare these things and failed to make effective frontal resistance, the moment the opponent moved, the two of them flew out.
Damian splashed the holy water on the other person, but it had no effect. He saw a faint layer of silver light on the other person's body, and all the attack methods against vampires were immune.
The moment he heard the alarm, Dick rushed over. He didn't take any action because he didn't know the other party's tactics.
Saying that this is a vampire's ability is a bit of an insult to vampires. Dick does not have this silver power. The abilities he gained after being transformed are turning into a bat, vampire magic, and transforming others.
The so-called vampire magic is more like telekinesis. It does not have any magical special properties. It can only control objects with thoughts and enhance one's own strength. If it acts on oneself, one can float and fly for a short period of time.
Seeing Damian and Tim being knocked down, Dick immediately took action. He didn't care about being discovered by others for his magic. He jumped into the air and rushed towards the figure like an arrow.
"What kind of power is that?" Batman looked at Schiller and asked.
"That's not my power." Schiller shook his head and said, "I'm just an ordinary person, not a superpower."
"Then why did he..."
"You can think of it as him having a patronus."
"Patronus?"
"The moon with a thousand faces, that is the power of moonlight."
"Does the moon protect vampires?"
"The moon will protect the strongest." Schiller seemed to have thought of something funny, and he said, "But he probably didn't expect that this one is a bit too strong."
Batman felt a little tricky because Dick, who rushed forward, had been knocked away. The opponent was so powerful that it was unbelievable.
Firstly, that moonlight power made him almost immune to magical attacks, and he was not afraid of the means used to deal with vampires. Batman could see that his physical skills were also top-notch, and that his physical strength itself was much stronger than Dick's.
This kind of physical strength is completely unscientific. Batman couldn't help but look at Schiller next to him. Judging from his body structure, he shouldn't have such strong strength.
But the last time they fought, Batman discovered that Schiller had a peculiar explosive power.
"Can you remove muscle restrictions?" Batman finally guessed it because he was too experienced. The Joker could do it to some extent. All crazy people have something in common.
"I don't usually do that," Schiller admitted.
"why?"
“I’m not getting any younger.”
"That is, you used to do that when you were young."
This was not a question, because Barbara removed the security restrictions on the gate and let Cassandra in. The other members of the Bat Family no longer followed any martial ethics and just went straight in to fight.
Except for Cassandra who was able to fight back and forth with the person on the screen, the others were basically just waiting for death. They were thrown out as soon as they got close to the person. This was obviously not something that could be achieved by ordinary use of power.
But Cassandra was also a little stretched, because she would be exposed to the moonlight at any time, and once exposed, her movements would suddenly stop and then she would be knocked away.
"The Bat-Family's magic resistance is still too low." said Batman.
"You should be thankful that their magic resistance is low."
Batman was a little confused by Schiller's words. Schiller shook his head and said, "Who do you think the patron saint protects? Him?"
Just as Batman understood the meaning of this, the figure among the Robins stopped moving, looked towards a corner where there was nothing, and said, "That's enough, Khonsu, remove your power."
The clicking sound started again, but this time Tim couldn't make out any pattern to it.
Dick seemed to realize something, he covered his eyes with magic, and then he saw an extremely tall figure standing there, wearing a long robe condensed from moonlight, with a skull falcon head - a long bone beak was wrapped around it.
Dick thought he was seeing things, so he looked away and then looked again, and found that it was not his hallucination. This monster, which looked strange and terrifying yet had a peculiar beauty, had its long bird beak tied up with a rope.
The "click-click" sound was the sound of the bones of his upper and lower jaw hitting each other as he tried to open his mouth but couldn't.
The monster held a long staff in his hand. A mysterious light flickered in the center of the staff, as if there were endless phases of the moon. The silver-white power flowed out from the staff and then covered the man.
Faced with the other party's request, the monster named Kong Su shook his head, and seemed unwilling to withdraw his power no matter what.
"It's very strange." Batman said, "This is the first time I've seen a believer not want power, but the god insisted on giving it to him."
"Because he is the god of the moon, not the god of death," said Schiller.
Batman looked at him, and Schiller continued, "Why do you think he turned himself into a vampire? For that boring ability to transform into a bat?"
Batman narrowed his eyes, as if he realized something.
Vampires have too many weaknesses, and it is indeed a loss to transform into a creature of the night just for this insignificant ability, but what if he is going for these weaknesses?
After confirming that Kong Su was the source of power, Dick stretched out his hand and magical energy surged towards that direction. At that moment, it seemed to break some barrier, and the purple energy hit Kong Su's staff directly.
With a bang, the staff was knocked away and the supply of moonlight energy was cut off.
Tim and Damian couldn't see Khonsu, but they could see that the silver energy around each other suddenly weakened.
"good chance!"
Damian immediately jumped to the side, picked up the high-power ultraviolet lamp that was knocked away, and shone it at the man.
"Uh……"
Even the muffled groaning sounded extremely strange, and a raging flame burned on his body.
But behind the screen, Batman's face darkened.
"Stop it, Damian." His voice came over the radio.
But Damian jumped up and high-fived Tim.
"Ha! We succeeded! Ultraviolet rays are indeed the nemesis of vampires!"
Looking at the back of Batman rushing out of the laboratory, Schiller showed a gloating smile.
Kong Su: What have I been protecting!
