Chapter 59 Moon 59
Chapter 59 Moon 59
At this moment Uriah is watching a movie with Dick.
"Hey..." Dick turned his face away from the female ghost who suddenly pressed his face, and his skin was covered with goosebumps, "The dark circles under the eyes of this female ghost are heavier than Bruce's."
Ulea glanced at the female ghost on the screen, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt like it, she couldn't help laughing, and almost spit out the popcorn.
"Oh, my good brother, don't really spit it out!" Dick panicked, "We agreed not to reveal our secrets!"
"Then why don't you make me laugh?" Uriah glared at him angrily, and swallowed the popcorn.
"Ding ding dong dong-"
The phone rings.
Dick subconsciously wanted to touch his pocket, but found that it wasn't his cell phone that was ringing.
Ulea was stunned for a while before realizing that it was her phone that rang, and quickly took it out of her pocket, and glanced at the caller ID on the screen.
Caller ID shows nothing.
"...Damn." Ulea couldn't help cursing in a low voice, "Again?"
"Who called you?" Dick said, chewing on popcorn.
"The Pope." Uriah answered the phone helplessly, "What an overtime madman..."
Dick didn't care either. He reached out to touch the remote control that had been thrown somewhere during the fight, and pressed the pause button.
"Let's change to another movie later." He said while grabbing popcorn, "This movie is not very scary, but rather funny..."
He heard no answer.
Dick turned back to look at him with some puzzlement: "Uriah..."
The unexpected scene in front of him stunned him for a moment, and then a bad premonition suddenly rose in his heart——
He saw Uriah who was full of astonishment, even a little bit at a loss.
The pale and thin hand that was tightly clenched was suddenly clenched, with veins all over, as if the person concerned had heard some terrible news.
"Ulea?! What's wrong?"
"...Dick." Yulia slowly put down the phone, her voice hoarse.
"Don't scare me!" Dick was so frightened that the popcorn in his hand dropped, he rushed over to hold Yuriah's shoulder, his pupils trembled and said, "What's the matter?"
Ulea's eyes hidden behind the reflector looked at Dick and said word by word: "Bruce...something happened."
……
When Uriah and Robin, who had already changed into uniforms, rushed to the church, the golden vines supporting Batman had begun to show signs of collapse.
Red filthy spots appeared densely on the vines, eroding the power of the pope.The powers he split to contain Batman's mutation are fading away.
Those golden vines seemed to be exhausted, showing a fragile and withered posture, but they still tried their best to support them.It stretched out in all directions, with dense branches inserted into the wall and the ground, as if desperately looking for more support points.
"It came too slowly." The Pope glanced lightly at the messenger and Robin standing outside the door.
Uriah gasped heavily, her eyes fell on Batman.
"...What did you do?" He asked the Pope with a trembling voice.
"B!" Robin couldn't help but wanted to rush up, but Uriah grabbed his arm: "Wait, it's dangerous!"
"What the hell is going on!" Robin felt his sanity collapsing.
Why is this happening?
What happened in these short two hours?
At a glance, he saw the clown who was sitting on the end steps of the church and was smiling very happily. It was as if a basin of ice water had been poured on him, freezing his soul from top to bottom.
"...Pontiff, why are you... how come the clown is here?" He didn't know what kind of possibility he thought of, and his face turned pale.
The clown looked at Robin, as if he suddenly saw some interesting and exciting treasure, and he grinned wildly.
Uriah didn't interact with the Joker, and instead of distracting himself from the Joker, he looked palely at Batman.
"You...why? How could you allow..." he said to the Pope with a trembling voice.
Why would you allow this to happen?
You've been observing a corner of this world, haven't you?
Batman is so polluted that even he can tell it at a glance-this kind of pollution happened to a being whose reason and will exceed the limits of human beings, it can only show that he has directly contacted those ancient and evil cores .
His lack of mutations can only be attributed to the fact that the Pope's tentacles are constantly neutralizing the pollution, and the tentacles are clearly reaching their limit.
The Pope turned his face away, but did not look at Uriah.
The divine light from the golden vines shone on his long, pale golden eyelashes, casting a dark shadow, covering his gray eyes with golden spots, making his eyes even more opaque. .
"As you can see." The Pope's voice remained calm, "The residual power of the Moon's Terror polluted him, and I came a step too late."
"No—" Robin tried to break free from Uriah's hand and rushed towards Batman, but was held tightly by the latter.
Ureya held his hand with blue veins, and I don't know where he got the power to control a vigilante whose physical strength and strength far surpassed his.
"Why is the clown here?!" Robin felt his emotions hovering on the verge of collapse, "What does he have to do with this matter?"
"Oh, cute little bird~" The clown laughed and said, "The little bat is about to fly up, don't be so downcast, how about a laugh?"
Robin's expression was almost distorted at this moment.
"It's you...you're the one who killed him!" He roared hoarsely, and Uriah almost couldn't hold him back.
"Robin." Batman's voice sounded.
His voice was not loud, but he managed to bring Robin, who was about to lose his mind, back to his senses.
Robin gasped and took a dejected step back.
He had never encountered such a hopeless situation.
He knows how serious the consequences of being polluted are, and the pollution that can make the Pope powerless is even more helpless.
"For this situation, I already have a plan." Batman's voice was a little weak, but still calm, "You know where to find it."
"No, don't say that!" Of course Robin knew what the so-called plan was. At this moment, he only felt that his mind was buzzing, and he couldn't think normally. He could only look at the Pope helplessly: "Really? ...Is there really no other way?"
The pope's eyes darkened even more.
He looked at Yulea: "Messenger."
Robin subconsciously looked at Uriah.
The latter was staring blankly at Batman at this moment, with his lips parted slightly as if he wanted to say something, but finally turned his gaze to the Pope, and said tremblingly, "Is this your plan?"
The Pope looked at him without saying a word.
"You should have known he wouldn't be like me... He's not like me, not every human being is like me, cowardly, greedy, pathetic, willing to live in a corner, Abraear - you Vain, arrogant, inhuman monster!"
The golden color in the pope's eyes was like a prairie fire for a moment, and the golden vines in the church also twisted frantically at this moment.
For the first time, anger that was almost offended appeared on his face: "Messenger, you should have known from the day you joined us that we are walking on an extremely dangerous road, and in order to achieve what our Lord has entrusted Our sacred goal, we should have been ready to give up everything - you should also know that everything I do is to take even half a step forward on this road!"
Ulea gritted her teeth and said, "You obviously have a better choice—"
"A better choice?" The Pope has calmed down, as if his anger just now was just an illusion, "I have been on this road for too long, Messenger, I have seen countless people fight with them to protect their homes. Beings who don't understand fight to the death and think they can win - stupid, arrogant, ignorant, ridiculous. I'm tired of it, and just want to win with minimal sacrifice, even if it's just a short-lived victory."
He took a step forward, looked down at the courier who was a bit emotionally broken, and said softly: "And you know what benefits it will bring us if he joins us... the courier. I don't want to hurt anyone, even now I still Trying to save him—where do you think the pollution these tentacles sucked up? Those tentacles are my torso, boy."
Ulea stared at him blankly, and after a while, he sighed.
"I see." He whispered, "I accept."
Robin froze.
It wasn't that he completely failed to understand the conversation between the two, but Ulea's "I accept" made him very puzzled.
Accept what?
An ominous premonition rose in his heart, he grabbed Yulia and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"..." The Pope glanced at Robin, and said to Ulea, "Finish as soon as possible, my body can't bear it for too long. I'll go and bring the warrior here."
After speaking, he quietly disappeared in place.
Uriah then took two steps back, sat on the pew in the abandoned church, pressed his forehead, and said, "It's nothing, it's just..."
He looked at Batman who was about to fall into a semi-comatose state, and said with some difficulty: "Save him in another way."
"What do you mean? Can B still be saved?" Robin was slightly taken aback, with surprise in his eyes.
Ulea nodded: "Well, don't worry, he will be fine. The Pope is such a hateful guy... It's disgusting that he counted every step."
After he finished speaking, he himself laughed, but there was a bit of bitterness in that smile.
Robin was stunned for a moment, then heaved a long sigh of relief, and sat next to Ulea, with a relaxed look on his pale face: "That's good, I was really scared just now." I'm dead... I don't understand, since there is nothing wrong, what were you arguing about just now?"
Uriah's face paled for a moment.
He whispered: "He...his body was invaded by the original fragments of the terror of the moon, and that power was constantly polluting him. The pope temporarily curbed the pollution, but this is not a long-term solution. We only have two Ways to solve this problem -
"The first way is to let Mr. Traveler take action, but Mr. Traveler can't show up at present, so this method won't work.
"The second way is to take out the original fragments, but the fragments must be put into another person at the same time, and another person will be polluted, otherwise the power of the fragments will spread and endanger the entire Gotham."
After thinking for a while, Robin frowned, and suddenly realized: "Then use the second method. Isn't there a ready-made person here?"
He pointed to the clown.
Ulea: "...he can't."
Dick was puzzled: "Why?"
"He is very special, too special. Originally, the power of Moon Terror was in his body, but it didn't pollute him too much." Ulea said, he should not have known this information, but at this moment Huo Thorne no longer cared about his pollution level, and directly instilled information into him, "Perhaps because he has fused with the Lunar Horror, he can manipulate this power to a certain extent... Once the fragments are put back , will only make the situation more complicated and dangerous."
Robin frowned.
He began to think about the logic of this, and after a while, his face that had just recovered turned pale again.
"...I don't understand." He said, "Who will replace him?"
He thought of the phrase "I'll bring the samurai" that the Pope said just now, and asked subconsciously, "A samurai?"
"What...? No, of course not." Ulea smiled, "If a warrior is completely mutated by the source of the terror of the moon, he will be able to destroy the earth by himself without waiting for the old days to break through the seal. Everyone was killed."
Robin: "..."
Can you stop joking about such a horrible thing!
"Then..." Robin asked worriedly, "Go find a death row prisoner?"
Ulea shook his head: "They are not like Batman who can maintain their sanity for such a long time under the pollution of the horror of the moon. This is too dangerous."
Robin was a little dazed: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, then..."
"This matter must be done by us." Ulea said, "We are connected with the will of the secret star, he is our last line of defense in chaos, and I am the most suitable person to do this, so... ..."
He smiled and looked up at Batman.
The latter could only listen to their conversation quietly, but could not make any sound because of loss of strength and weakness.But at this moment, his star-bright eyes suddenly revealed a look of astonishment and shock.
"So, I will be polluted instead of him." Ulea said calmly, "And the Pope brought the warrior to kill the polluted me."
