Chapter 295 Soul Pollution
On the other side, when Zhang Yi and Constantine returned to the Assassin League's fortress, it was already late at night.
Since both of them had already dealt with the current leader Damian, the assassins standing guard outside did not come forward to stop them. They only had a symbolic exchange and quickly let the two people in.
After entering the fortress, Zhang Yi discovered that there was something different inside. It was different from the ancient Chinese design outside. The inside looked like a huge maze, and because the fortress was embedded on the cliff, the structure inside It was much bigger than Zhang Yi imagined.
Although the night was already deep, no one had any intention of taking a rest.
They have been communicating for some time. Kara and Clark are sitting together. Although today is the first time they have met, they don't feel much distance. They have obviously regarded each other as close family members.
Thinking about it, at this time they need each other the most. With the trust of their family members, both of them can encourage each other and come out of the fragility of their hearts.
As for Damian and Jason, they didn’t seem so harmonious. Jason was sitting alone on a chair with his legs crossed, looking at Damian opposite him with a faint look, while Damian was holding an ice pack to cover his face. His face looked a little embarrassed.
The two had a fight at the beginning. Although Jason tried his best, he just wanted to vent. After all, Damian was Bruce's child, and he didn't want to be broken by this little guy.
But later, when Jason saw Dick who was killed by the Doomsday demon and then resurrected by Damian soaking in the Lazarus Pool, he dragged Damian without saying a word and beat him up. This time He really didn't hold back and hit him in the face with every move he made.
Everyone tried to stop him but found that they couldn't stop him at all. If Black Canary hadn't taken action in the end, Jason, who couldn't help but be angry, would have been able to remove one of Damian's legs.
Of course, although he was beaten badly, Damian didn't have any resentment towards Jason at all.
He knew why he was beaten, and he knew why Jason was so angry.
The Lazarus Pool is not a beautiful thing. Although it has the power to resurrect the dead, the results of this power are often much worse than imagined.
Pulling dead souls out of hell in this way will inevitably pollute the originally pure soul during the rebirth process.
But can something like the soul be polluted?
As one of the people who have experienced it personally, Jason has clearly felt the feeling of his soul being polluted by evil. It is an experience that seems to be filled with madness and his eyes are full of bloodlust. Jason does not want to experience it again in his life. .
Sometimes, he didn't even want to be resurrected, because being reborn in this way made him clearly realize that he was no longer the same person he was back then. During the time when he returned to Gotham to fight for justice, he only felt that he was more Like a demon.
And under this situation, Jason's anger could no longer be suppressed when he saw Dick who had been resurrected due to the invasion of the Lazarus Pool.
Damian didn't know what kind of power this was, and what he did was trampling on Dick's dignity as a hero.
Looking at Dick who was in extreme madness and uncontrollable, Jason seemed to see his past self. How could he suppress his anger?
After experiencing such a series of things, the others were no longer in the mood to chat. When they were about to find Zhang Yi, the backbone, they discovered that Zhang Yi and Constantine had gone somewhere.
So, they sat quietly in the room, waiting for Zhang Yi and Constantine to come back. They waited for more than three hours.
When Zhang Yi and Constantine walked into the hall, they also discovered that something was wrong with the atmosphere here.
"Where have you been?"
In the hall, the first person to notice Zhang Yi and the others was naturally Kara. The first time she saw Zhang Yi, she stood up immediately, her eyes full of worry.
"I just went out for a walk, don't worry." Zhang Yi smiled and then patted Constantine on the shoulder. "Constantine and I have some magical experiences that we need to exchange. After all, you also know that the magic in our two worlds is not the same."
Constantine didn't resent Zhang Yi's patting on his shoulder. He just lit a cigarette and greeted Damian. "Tell your people to bring out some wine. I need to relax."
For some reason, Damian felt a little happy when he heard Constantine's tone, but he didn't think too much. He covered his swollen face with one hand and asked the assassin to order drinks with the other hand.
"Zhang Yi, I may have something to ask of you. Please help me."
Seeing Zhang Yi take a seat, Jason, who was impatient at the side, immediately spoke. However, he generally did not take the initiative to ask for help, so he was a little unable to open his mouth for a moment.
Zhang Yi also saw Jason's helplessness. Judging from his evasive eyes and the badly beaten Damian, Zhang Yi also knew what Jason wanted him to help with.
"Is it because of Dick?" Zhang Yi picked up a cup of poured tea and took a sip without caring whose cup it was.
At this time, everyone's attention turned to Zhang Yi.
"You, you know everything," Jason sighed dryly.
"Well, I have heard about it. I have also heard some things about the Lazarus Pool in this universe. But you should also know that the side effects of soaking in this pool are different for everyone. ." Zhang Yi put down the cup and said softly.
"I know, I've experienced it personally, so I feel it very deeply." Jason said seriously.
no you don't know
Looking at Jason Todd with a determined expression, Zhang Ye couldn't help but pick up the cup again.
Indeed, in many branches of DC's multiverse, Jason's resurrection from the dead follows the setting of soaking in the Lazarus Pool, but Zhang Ye knows that what caused Jason's real resurrection was Superboy-Prime's The destruction of the wall of reality.
During the Infinite Crisis event, Superboy-Prime destroyed the 'Wall of Reality' known as the origin of reality. This violent fluctuation of time and space was no less than a punch to the multiverse timeline. That kind of power, forcibly Rewriting some established facts that have already happened in the universe.
Jason's death was one of them. This reshaping of reality caused Jason to crawl directly out of the grave.
At the same time, this huge scale of reality destruction has also affected many parallel universes, causing Jasons in most universes to come back to life for various reasons.
This operation also indirectly caused Jason's crazy symptoms to be controlled after soaking in the Lazarus Pool, and was not as severe as what others had experienced.
Watching Zhang Yi's expression that slowly turned serious, Jason's originally hopeful heart suddenly plummeted. He didn't know who else he could turn to for help if Zhang Yi couldn't help Dick.
"There is an old saying in China that if you don't talk about strange things, you will be confused by the gods. It seems that you really haven't got the true inheritance of Bruce. Aren't you curious why Batman never takes the initiative to touch these things?" Constantine said with a smile.
But soon he changed the subject and looked at Zhang Yi. "Of course you don't have to worry. The Witch Crow has a way to deal with your stray little bird. He should be thinking about other things now. Isn't there any whiskey here?"
Ignoring Constantine's last words, Jason immediately stood up and looked at Zhang Yi expectantly. Even Damian couldn't keep calm at this time and was so surprised.
"Is there really anything you can do to save Dick?"
"Don't get excited yet. I do have some research on some evil dark forces." Zhang Yi put down the empty cup again, considered his words and replied.
"However, it is not easy to remove the pollution from the soul. I can only say that I will try my best, but I cannot guarantee that I can solve this problem."
Upon hearing this, Damian suddenly felt that the wounds on his face no longer hurt. He quickly came to Zhang Yi's side, wishing that Zhang Yi could immediately start treating Dick.
If there was anyone whom Damian owed the most to in his entire life, it would definitely be the first Robin and now Dick the Nightwing.
After officially joining the Bat-family, Dick took good care of himself like a gentle big brother.
Although Damian also knew that Dick and his father had some misunderstandings, and both of them were very stubborn and refused to bow their heads. In the end, Dick rarely returned to the Batcave, but Dick never got angry with himself because of these emotions.
Even Dick's sacrifice was because he wanted to save himself from the demons of the Destroying Sun.
If it weren't for this reason, Damian would not have taken Dick's body away regardless, and would have used the Lazarus Pool to rescue Dick even if he risked everyone's obstruction.
Seeing that Damian and Jason both looked impatient, Zhang Yi stopped talking and stood up.
"In that case, then take me to see it."
