Heroic Spirit Transformation System [Comprehensive Master Anglo-American]

Chapter 35 Paracelsus

"Maybe it's because I died at this age?"

The moment he understood the meaning of this sentence, Dick even forgot to continue accusing Batman of putting a listening device on him.

Memories of chatting with Robin Hood came to his mind, and for a moment Dick couldn't breathe.

Actually... he was already dead when he was about the same age as him?

Dick, who was at a loss, showed a blank look in his eyes and subconsciously looked at Batman for help.

Bruce Wayne's expression still looked cold and rational, and he seemed not to be shocked by the answer at all, but the hand that was originally placed on the sofa had been clenched tightly into a fist at some point.

He had already expected this answer, but when he actually heard it, he still felt a slight sting in his heart because of the thought of Dick.

Robin Hood... How did you feel when you looked at Dick, who was codenamed "Robin" and was about the same age as him when he died, and advised Dick to seriously consider vigilante behavior?

Are you trying to save your former self through Dick?

But Robin Hood seemed to be struggling with this matter himself. He only mentioned a few words and never persuaded in depth.

Bruce Wayne actually understands.

Robin Hood will resonate with Dick's passion for fighting crime, and he will understand that Robin Hood's self-deprecation is not heroic self-denial at all - no matter how good the original intentions and results are, they cannot cover up the unfairness of the means.

So Robin Hood calls himself a shameless man, and Batman never thinks of himself as a superhero.

It is precisely because Robin Hood sees himself so clearly that he will not really try hard to persuade Dick to give up this "career", because he understands Dick's thoughts very well, and he may not even really regret it.

Yes, I just don’t want to see anyone follow in my footsteps.

But if Dick died at this age...

Bruce Wayne has imagined this possibility countless times, but he still can't think about it calmly.

Batman can't stand this. Neither does Bruce Wayne.

If Dick died fighting crime, it was entirely his responsibility. He imagined what it would be like if Dick grew up with the love of his biological parents, and he ruined that, ruined the Graysons' wishes.

, he couldn't explain it to his parents.

The more he cared about Dick, the more controlling he became. Now Dick can still tolerate it, but that may not be the case in the future.

Bruce Wayne is able to realize that, although he tries, he really isn't a good father.

Just hope that the worst possibility doesn't happen.

Qiye looked at the lifeless atmosphere caused by his own words and coughed: "Don't worry, it's all happened before you were alive. Why bother worrying about this after you're dead? It's pointless."

Dick forced a smile: "Well... I'm a little shocked. I'm really a little scared..."

Because Robin Hood looks really young!!! He subconsciously thought that it would be impossible for him to die at this age if he could become a heroic spirit. After all, it takes time to become famous or something, but he didn't expect that there is also "because he used it"

This is a situation where the title of Robin Hood has become a heroic spirit.

"Okay, you laugh so ugly." Qiye was helpless. He and Dick got along very well, and he didn't want Dick to be too sad about this kind of thing. "In short, I died after being a hero for two years. It's completely

It's because I don't overestimate my abilities. I can't blame anyone, and I have nothing to regret. There is absolutely no need for you to feel bad for me. I think it's fun to be a Heroic Spirit now, but I didn't have such freedom when I was alive."

Dick choked, why do you talk about your own death so easily?! Sure enough, he is still a living person and can't understand it?!

Bruce Wayne slowly unclenched his fist: "Dick, actually I have been thinking about this matter, and I think you should think about it carefully——"

"There's nothing to think about." Dick knew very well what Bruce Wayne wanted to say now, and he answered without hesitation, "I like to do these things, at least I won't regret it now, but if I give up, I may regret it for the rest of my life."

.”

Qiye sighed: "I knew it would be like this, that's why I didn't persuade him. Wayne, you are an adult. You should carefully consider the consequences of bringing Dick into your career."

Dick was dissatisfied: "Hey! I thought we were friends! Which side are you on?!"

"It's a friend who thinks about you so much." Qiye put his hand on Dick's forehead and pushed Dick away from him. "Anyway, if you insist, he won't be able to lock you up. At worst, you'll run away from home."

"You are the first person who dared to encourage me to run away from home in front of Bruce."

Dick complained a few words, feeling that the atmosphere had warmed up, and then secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then changed the subject: "By the way, Bruce, what's going on with Poison Ivy?"

Bruce Wayne didn't mean to dwell on the topic just now, as if he just wanted to confirm his guess: "Her seeds have been soaked in the alchemist's potion."

The atmosphere became serious again.

"Does that potion also have an effect on seeds?" Dick asked, "Speaking of which, the plants she made this time were indeed a bit too active."

Qiye, who broke through Poison Ivy's female defense, said: "No wonder... I feel that ordinary plants' defense is not that high, but it turns out it has something to do with Paracelsus..."

Dick couldn't wait any longer. He looked at Qiye, and then looked at Batman expectantly: "Bruce, when are we going to find Paracelsus?"

Bruce Wayne, who completely captured their little moves: "…………"

Dick, by "we", do you mean you and me, or you and Robin Hood?

But in the end, Bruce Wayne didn't say anything and acquiesced to Robin Hood's action.

"tonight."

***

Paracelsus didn't seem to care who used this mobile phone to contact him, nor did he care what happened to the person who originally used this mobile phone, so when Bruce Wayne tentatively called him and said he wanted to meet,

He just reported his address in a calm tone.

Dick was shocked when he saw this string of addresses.

The address reported by Paracelsus is actually not very hidden, it is just an old building in a relatively remote location. But the problem is... Batman, who knows all the underground tunnels of Gotham, has never found this place!

Of course, Bruce Wayne understood how abnormal this was, so after he got the address, he kept investigating the nearby surveillance. It wasn't until Poison Ivy caused trouble that he interrupted the investigation, put down the information and went out. Fortunately, before that, he had already investigated

It's almost done.

"When he met Penguin, he didn't do it in this way. Instead, he waited for Penguin to report his address and he took the initiative to come looking for him. That's why Penguin said he followed him but disappeared. This time, the method suddenly changed...

"Dick looked at the information and noticed that there were many problems. After reading one sheet, he handed one to Qiye.

Batman still didn't let Qiye enter the Batcave, but he opened up some information sharing and introduced the situation: "As long as you walk near there, the people in the surveillance will turn around and go back as if they forgot something, or they will take a detour to get there.

At the destination, judging from their expressions, they didn’t find anything abnormal. This should be the effect of magic.”

Qiye nodded in agreement: "He should have set up a magic workshop there to produce potions. It is probably to prevent ordinary people from entering, so he set up this magic. If there are other magicians here, they should have been discovered here... In fact

If you didn't already know the address, you wouldn't have realized anything was wrong even if you checked the surveillance system."

Although Bruce Wayne also collected some information on the magic side, it was of little use this time. This led him to plan to pay more attention to the magic side and ask questions immediately when he heard unfamiliar places.

"……magic?"

Qiye had no choice but to explain the difference between magic and magic again. He looked at Bruce Wayne's unruffled eyes and felt that the other person's brain was inputting information like a computer screen...

"How much do you know about Paracelsus?" After listening to the explanation of conceptual questions, Bruce Wayne asked the substantive question.

"I don't know him." Qiye said decisively, "But Holmes seems to have mentioned something... that he loves human beings. But Holmes has never met Paracelsus, so it should be just an inference."

Dick said hesitantly: "It sounds like he is a good person... It can be understood that making potions is to reduce people's pain, but why does it feel that the direction of things is a bit strange?"

"Because there are indeed people with good intentions in this world who do bad things?" Of course Qiye couldn't tell everything he knew. "Anyway, you'll know it when you meet him. He shouldn't kill people casually...probably."

During the harmonious discussion, Qiye became a member of this operation without any objection. Although he was poached by Batman with a lot of "magical information", he was able to enjoy the snacks sent by Alfred.

He didn't care about Batman anymore. The information was of no use to him anyway. After the discussion, they ate something to replenish their strength and were ready to set off.

They probably really needed to know the address. Until the Batmobile arrived downstairs, none of them had any intention of leaving.

Although Paracelsus has not revealed any bad thoughts so far, and his attitude can even be called mild, Batman does not believe that Paracelsus does not know the consequences of the potions he made, let alone

He didn't believe that he was really a good person who loved human beings, so he rechecked some of the magic-dealing props he wore, and a series of plans to plans flashed through his mind...

"Let me go in and take a look first." Qiye volunteered, "You are all ordinary humans, so don't bother with him, although I don't think he is very dangerous."

Batman didn't object and threw him a listener.

Qiye: "..." This is too fair!

But forget it, Batman is this kind of person...

Qiye silently put the monitor in his cloak, then waved his hand and walked into the abandoned building.

Dick watched Qiye's figure disappear into the deep darkness, feeling more nervous than if he had gone there himself. Batman adjusted the monitor, but now he could only hear the sound of footsteps and the friction of clothing.

Qiye walked around the first floor and found a secret passage leading underground that only people with magical powers could see.

He opened the secret door without hesitation and walked down, saying hello in a brisk tone: "Hello? I have made an appointment. Is anyone here?"

In fact, Qiye just said it casually, but he didn't expect a voice to actually respond to him.

"Please keep going down."

The clear voice said softly.

"Sorry, I can't leave now and can't go to greet you."

"It doesn't matter, I can just walk by myself." Qiye continued to walk down while guessing what Paracelsus was doing. After a while, light appeared in front of him. After walking to the end, his eyes suddenly became clear.

In the space below, there are bookshelves and tables. On the table, the bookshelves are filled with scratch papers, test tubes, flasks, beakers and other experimental equipment. Most of the containers contain red-hued liquid, but there are also a very small number.

, inside was a glowing green liquid.

Paracelsus put down the equipment in his hand, looked up at Qiye, and then smiled lightly.

"I knew you were coming, ruler."

Seven nights:"………………………………???"

What did you just call me? Did my Sherlock Holmes' vest fall off?!
