The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

When Bruce used the carriage prepared by Master Andrew to bring the first batch of books back to the Forgotten Bookstore, the new owner of the bookstore, Constantine, stared dumbfounded at group after group of mage apprentices happily moving a bunch of tomes into his shop. inside.

Hey, Lars, you are Master Andrew's apprentice, Lars, right? What are you doing here? I haven't bought any new goods recently?

The black-haired apprentice whom Constantine called Lars stretched out a hand, pointing back with his thumb, and said, You have to ask that rich man in the back, and, you bloody rotten man, when will you get close to Wayne? of?

We'll talk about it later. Konstantin patted him on the back while turning his head, put his feet on the spot, and ran towards the rear of the team.

He found Bruce who was counting the number in front of the carriage door. He leaned back exaggeratedly, drew an outward arc with his hands, and said, What are you doing? Where did these books come from?!

This is the gift of knowledge given to me by the demon king I just contracted with. Thank you for your gift.

But but but but... ouch!

Konstantin was hit on the forehead by the pile of books that fell, and he sat back suddenly and fell to the ground. He stood up rubbing his forehead, grinned and said, Isn't it? You don't really think that someone Will you buy those tomes that only you can understand? ... Wait, you're planning to sell, right?

Bruce shook his head, drew a pentagram on his chest, and said, I've said it all, this is a gift of knowledge from His Majesty Beelzebub, it's too vulgar to talk about business.

At this moment, another carriage landed at the door, and Nightwing stood on top of the carriage, beckoning to Bruce and saying, This is the penultimate carriage, Jason and Tim are finishing the last carriage of books, Bring it over soon.

After finishing speaking, he jumped down from the roof of the car and walked in front of Bruce, first lowered his head, then looked up at his expression and said, I'm afraid we didn't complete the task very well, Your Majesty the Demon looks Doesn't sound very welcoming to us.

It's okay, he will welcome you in the future.

How is your body?

It's much better. Bruce walked towards the door of the bookstore with Ye Yi, and Ye Yi turned to look at him and said, Are you planning to find a cure for diseases in the occult world?

Not all hope, Bruce said, shaking his head.

Ye Yi's face immediately became a little heavy. He sighed and said, It's a pity that I don't have much research on magic. I just heard a few words from Diana occasionally. Have you ever asked Diana of your universe?

I was going to ask her. When Bruce said this, Ye Yi thought, did Bruce say that he would go to Mount Olympus with Diana to fetch things, could it be related to this matter?

It seems that every Batman has his own tragedy, and Ye Yi thinks rather gloomyly that the Batman in this universe can save Gotham, but he can't save himself alone.

On the other side, at the gate of Master Andrew's mage tower, most of the ruins of the building disappeared, and Beelzebub also left the human world with his demon generals.

For a demon monarch, the palace is not a very precious wealth, but for human beings, everything from hell has extremely pure energy. All the mages who came to the birthday party today have gained a lot. At this time, the portals were opened in twos and threes, ready to move the spoils back.

Few of the mages present knew Red Hood and Red Robin, so many black mages thought about the pile of tomes. They were not keen on the knowledge of demons, but thought that there might be remnants of Beelzebub on them. power, so I want to stealthily take it away.

Red Hood is like a vicious housekeeper. Anyone who dares to get close to this pile of books will be beaten all over the head by him. Red Robin stands on the top of the pile of books to inform him, and all young people will be beaten. Had a fat beating.

Hey, Jason, who's that guy on your right with a suit and a cane? Red Robin stretched his neck and looked to one side.

He looked down and saw that Red Hood was busy dealing with two black mages who wanted to touch from the side of the pile of books, so he jumped down himself and said to the man who was walking, Don't go any further, this It’s up to you to pile things up, or you’ll be beaten.”

Red Robin rarely speaks to others in such a disrespectful tone, it's just that the greed of these magicians is beyond their imagination, they only stay here for half an hour, and there are more than a dozen waves of lawbreakers trying to embezzle them. the fruits of other people's labor.

Thank you for reminding me, I just came over to take a look.

It's nothing to see. Red Robin's tone of seeing off the guests was obvious, but he found that the man was still walking slowly, so he stepped aside and blocked him.

I'm not kidding you, sir, didn't you see that he knocked out all the mages with a few punches? Red Robin pointed to the red hood next to him, shrugged and said, I I bet, no matter how powerful your magic is, you can't defeat the two of us at such a close distance, let's go quickly.

Seeing that the person opposite still had no intention of leaving, Red Robin became a little impatient. His detective talent failed to observe any valuable information, and the other person looked like an ordinary scholar or university professor.

So, he rolled up his sleeves and took a step forward, intending to carry on the tradition of the Bat family and conduct some physical negotiations with him. At this moment, a familiar roar suddenly came from behind him.

NO!! TIM!! DON'T GO!!!

Red Hood's voice was as sharp as a scream. Red Robin had never heard such a terrified tone from Jason.

One of Red Robin's feet had already stepped out, and he instinctively wanted the sole of his foot to hit the ground, but the next second, Red Hood rushed over, grabbed his shoulder with one hand, and covered his mouth with the other. , dragging Red Robin far away like a kidnapper kidnapping a hostage.

What are you doing? Red Robin looked back at him dissatisfied and said, Why are you crazy, Jason?

I'll explain it to you later!

The red hood just dropped such a sentence and hurriedly ran towards the opposite figure in a suit, and slammed on the brakes in front of him to stop the figure, showing a forced smile, and said in a trembling tone : Children are ignorant, so don't argue with him.

Watching all this, Schiller paused for a short moment, looked away from Red Robin and landed on the face of the red hood, Schiller raised his eyebrows, and said, ...you know me?

What? Could it be that you... Red Hood was taken aback, and then the expression on his face became visibly depressed. He lowered his shoulders, sighed and said, No, it's nothing, I just...

Do you remember everything that happened in your universe? Schiller tilted his head slightly and asked tentatively.

The red hood's eyes lit up immediately, he pulled off the mask, looked at Schiller and said, Of course, you haven't lost your memory like them? That's great!

Schiller adjusted slightly to Jason's youthful face, then frowned slightly and said, You didn't seem to know my existence before, didn't you hear about me in Gotham?

I don't even know your name! No one told me!

Schiller's expression froze for a second, then he shook his head helplessly and said, Well, I can't expect the Batman in your universe to introduce me to you. My name is Schiller, Schiller Rodriguez.

So you are the professor Rodriguez who failed the Batman of this universe? Red Hood was a little surprised.

It's me. Schiller nodded, and walked towards the pile of books, with Red Hood following behind him.

He rambled and said: One morning before I came here, I found that the time suddenly went backwards for many days, and many things that I had already done returned to the original place. I asked other people, but they didn't find out.

Schiller stopped beside the high pile of books, he showed a smile, and said: This is also a good thing, time has gone backwards, and the bill you came to me for psychological counseling will no longer exist, but you still have it. With memory, you saved Batman a lot of money.

That's all you want to say?! The red hood looked into Schiller's eyes, and there was a bit of grievance and resentment in his eyes and tone.

Suddenly, he turned his head to one side and rubbed his fingers with both hands together, took a deep breath, then lowered his head and said.

Uh...thanks.

Thank you for what?

I... I've seen it all. Red Hood's lips were pursed until they turned white, he kept rubbing his hands, and stammered, Batman didn't come out of the monitoring room that day for a long time, I was a little worried about him, Just picked the lock and went in.

So, so what you said and did to the clown that day... I saw it all.

Red Hood lowered his head again, looked at his fingers and said, I saw him shattered with my own eyes, shattered badly, at least much more tragic than... my death, thank you.

His face turned red, and he said with a bit of complaint: I really don't know what to say, and I also know that you didn't do it for...but thank you anyway.

I'm just for you. Schiller said calmly.

The red hood stared at him blankly, and Schiller shook his head slightly and said, Jason in this universe is my student, and even though he hasn't experienced all of this, I also feel sorry for what happened to you. Unfortunately.

Red Hood's face turned even redder, and he stood there in a daze, and then he heard Schiller say.

That's part of the reason I do it, but not all, and you shouldn't be thanking me, you should be thanking Batman.

Schiller took another step and walked around the side of the pile of books. The red hood followed behind him step by step, and heard Schiller's voice floating in the night wind.

When Batman came to me and told me about his troubles, he said he had lost his children, not just one, not just once.

You know, no one in this world can persuade another person to let go of a similar tragedy, not even a psychiatrist.

Batman provided me with decent food, clothing, housing and transportation when I was living in another world, so I am willing to do my best to try, even if the tragedy cannot be reversed, at least give him and his children another possibility of reconciliation.

Schiller turned, and Red Hood saw the infinite calm and strength in his gray eyes, he heard Schiller say.

I'm glad that you witnessed all this with your own eyes, and that you didn't lose your memory when the universe restarted. At least you saw how your enemy was broken tragically. This makes me feel at ease.

And what I'm going to tell you is that maybe Batman doesn't show it, but he has memories, too.

Red Hood's eyes widened slowly, as if he had realized something, his fingertips trembled a little.

He looked up anxiously at Schiller's dim eyes under the night sky, and when Schiller's voice sounded, he finally knew what he was looking forward to.

In other words, the morning you and Batman met in my psychiatric clinic, and all the memories about me, are and will always be a secret that belongs only to the two of you.

Jason, what's special about you to Batman isn't your death anymore.
