Origin of all things Arkham

Chapter 29 Signing the Covenant
Over the grass field outside Lynn's house, an inexplicable smoke began to rise, which looked like a tornado rising above the burning wet grass.

Such a scene is obviously not due to any normal weather phenomenon.

Here comes the devil.

Recurved sheep's hooves, covered with red and black dry black hair, exaggerated height, even if bent over, it is two heads taller than Lynn, it has extremely exaggerated body proportions, short legs, but extremely long arms .

And it has four arms.

"Wow……"

Lin En murmured to himself in an uninformed voice: "There are a few ugly ones..."

Then: "Hey! Stupid big guy, this, this, and this!"

An iron pineapple was thrown at the thing's feet, and amidst the bang, the cracked holes on the demon's body seemed to flicker for a moment, and then, he waved his big hand to disperse the smoke.

Lin En's iron pineapple actually only blew off half of the horn on his head.

"Ah, ha... human... ha ha ha ha ha!"

Lynn's reaction was also quick, and he covered his ears when the devil spoke.

It seems that the memory after he was cheated last time still deeply hurt him.

In Lynn's original expectation, something that can be killed by bullets, eating an iron pineapple at close range, should be completely out of breath.

But he obviously forgot one thing: the demon summoned by Schrödinger's cat seems to be random.

"That means, I seem to have played a big game today."

That can't be helped, just grit your teeth.

......................................................

It was just after dark when Batman came to find Lynn.

Usually during this time period, Batman rarely goes out to do field missions.Even if he showed up, he would use Bruce Wayne's identity.

It can be seen that he is quite eager to see Lynn, and he should have a serious business.

But when he came to Lynn on his motorcycle, the scene in front of him made Batman stunned for a while, thinking that he had gone to the wrong place.

When he saw wisps of black smoke rising from a distance, Batman just guessed in a very "normal" and "reliable" way whether Lynn was cooking again, after all, his usual style of painting is like this No matter how ordinary and trivial things are put on him, it will become extremely outrageous.

But after he walked through the woods outside Lynn's house, he didn't think so.

The trees in the innermost circle have basically been brought down, and the old bat can see that they were all broken by some kind of tyrannical force.

There were scorched marks on many trees, and the black smoke he saw came from this.

The pastures that used to be half snow and half dry grass are no longer the same. The snow has melted and the grass has been burned.Moreover, there are large and small pits all over the ground, and there is a black stone in each pit.

The most important thing is Lynn's home.

"Why, why is there only half left?!"

Was it attacked by aliens?

Surprised and confused, Batman quickly walked towards the remaining half of Lynn's house. When he was about to reach the entrance, he happened to meet Lynn who came out with a washbasin in his arms.

"Lin, have you been attacked by a meteor shower? Or...

What's wrong with your head? "

"Ah, it's okay, it's okay!"

Lin En poured the water from the basin into a pit casually, whistling and steaming.

Touching his face which was covered with bandages, only his eyes and mouth were exposed, Lynn said indifferently, "I'm Xiao Hei in cosplay Conan, do you understand the bandage weirdo?
Come on, come in and say it.Come in, it won't collapse..."

As soon as the voice fell, the lintel above the porch fell down.

"Look, what should have fallen has already fallen, and it will never fall this time. Come, come in and say, it's cold outside.

Elbow, follow me into the house. "

Batman looked up, glanced at the four walls of the house that were riddled with holes and the broken tiles on the ground, opened his mouth, said nothing, followed Lynn into the house in silence.

"Bat, save me!!"

As soon as he entered the room, Batman heard a cry for help. Although he believed in Lynn, Batman still habitually pressed his hand on his universal belt.

Turning his head slightly to look, it was the black cat who called for help.

At this moment, it was wrapped in a blanket by Lynn, with a rope wrapped around it.

"Don't bother with that cat roll, let's talk about business. Shall we have tea?"

"Ah? Ah, no, I'll drink plain water."

"That's fine, there's no more tea. I don't have any for you to drink."

Then, Batman saw that Lynn took his pot, went to the back door to hug a pot of snow into the house, set it up, and boiled water.

"I'm not talking about you, your living habits are very unhealthy, water, you have to drink hot water, do you understand.

Wait a minute.It will be hot in a while. "

Hastily grabbing Lynn who was bending over to blow air under the pot, Batman decided that it would be better to finish talking before Lynn boiled the water.

"Lin, I think, you should know who I am, right?"

"Well... It's really not me who scolded you online, I got my account hacked."

"Forest!"

Batman's voice raised a little.

Then, with both hands, he pulled off his hood.

Boo!
"Oh, this sound effect is too...cough! Oh! You are...that multi-millionaire~!"

"Lin. Don't do this."

After taking off the hood and turning into Bruce Wayne, he seemed to be a lot more kind, smiling and saying, "I'm a billionaire."

Lynn: ...

This time it was a tie.

"Lin, I believe that your understanding of me is not because of your intelligence, but...

Put the wood down and be serious.

Lin, you seem to know a lot of things, don't you? "

Lynn lowered the raised log and stuffed it under the pot.

"Correct."

"Then, I have a question, I hope you can answer me truthfully."

"ask."

"You are an immortal, aren't you?"

"I... um? An immortal?"

Lynn didn't expect Batman to think of this direction.He deliberately nodded directly, and followed Batman to fool the question, but maybe he didn't have the confidence to hide it from this suspicious guy for a long time, and he didn't want to be "silenced" by this guy when he couldn't justify himself. After much deliberation, Lynn still shook his head.

"No. I'm only 20 years old. Longevity, there are indeed such people, but it's not me."

"Then, are you a time traveler?"

"Good guy, you read too many comics, there are people like this, but it's not me."

"That……"

"Okay. Stop asking. I'll tell you straight away."

Lynn was sitting upright, his eyelids twitching slightly: "I am a magician and a great prophet."

"Prophet?"

"Correct."

Baiteman didn't seem to expect the answer to be like this, his eyebrows were knitted together: "Prove it?"

Prove it?How to prove this?

what!Got it!

"Hehehe...Bruce, your Wayne family has no descendants~"

"what?!"

………………

Lynn and Bruce talked for a long time. This was the longest conversation between the two since they met, and it was also the most in-depth and heart-to-heart conversation.

Batman is obviously worried about the future, but this man's psychological toughness is really terrifying. He can resist asking Lynn about the future, even the Wayne blood that Lynn brought up the topic. Didn't ask any more questions.

Lynn was a little confused and couldn't speak.

"...So you said, our problem is not here?"

"of course."

Lin En took out the roasted sweet potatoes from the pot, poured some plain water into Batman's cup, and continued: "Our enemies, in the past and in the future, are human and divine, kind and evil , under the falling light, also in the shadow sacrifice, on the opposite side, and among us...

In short, brother, life is endless, fighting is endless! "

"Will there be a day when you will turn your back on me? Lynn, I need your positive answer."

"of course."

Lin En said nonchalantly: "If one day you can kill, you should kill, it's worth killing, I will."

"Great."

"Me too," said Batman, already donning the bat hood.

"Nice to meet you!"

"Each each other."

Reaching out his hand solemnly, Batman looked at Lynn.

Smiling, he pressed the sweet potato peel on Batman's hand, and Lynn and the old bat completed the handshake.

"Do you still drink water, I'll pour you some more..."

"No, I have something to do at home."

"Drink some water before you go."

"Alfred is leaving school soon and I have to pick him up, see you later!"

"Hey! Don't go! Hey——!"

Lin En put down the pot and shook his head: "This is considered to be the signing of the offensive and defensive alliance agreement..."

Whoa!
Lin En poured the water in the pot outside the door, turned around and entered the house.
