Chapter 195: Batman Classics Choose One

"What the hell are you doing?"

Bruce asked Katum telepathically.

He knew that owls usually behaved a bit abstractly, but he didn't expect it to be so abstract.

What is being done now is completely incomprehensible.

"Let's have some fun and divert Wu Ming Iron Fist's attention."

Katum said casually, "If you hadn't failed to live up to your expectations and couldn't beat Wu Ming's iron fist, I wouldn't have had to do this kind of work."

Iron Fist is also Batman, with all the qualities of Batman.

He is determined and has a clear goal, but he has no bottom line. If he wants to kill Diana, he will definitely kill her and cannot be stopped easily.

However, Ruthless Iron Fist also has the strong curiosity of Batman.

When the owl behaves extremely abnormally in front of him, he can't help but stop and want to find out what Katum's purpose is.

The more abstract the behavior, the more suspicious he becomes.

After all, Batman is a person who thinks that this glass of water will cause crime when he sees it.

"But how do you move in stasis?"

Bruce asked, "And since you can move, why don't you just take us away?"

"Sorry, can't do it."

Katum said, "I have raised the speed force to the limit so that I can act like an ordinary person. If I take you and Diana with me, my speed will inevitably slow down."

When Bruce has the Speed ​​Force, Katum's speed will increase tenfold.

It sounds terrifying, but in the face of stasis, you can barely maintain your actions.

After all, this kind of power is too obvious in restraining the Speed ​​Force.

Katum explained the plan to Bruce: "What I can do now is to teleport you to a safe place using apparation. You are the only one. I want to stay here to protect Diana."

This method of apparation comes from Ravenclaw.

It does not affect oneself, but teleports others away.

But Batboy didn't have time to learn it, only Katum could do it.

"Can't you take Diana with you and leave?" Bruce asked.

"It's hard to do." Katum sighed, "You can't teleport together unless you and Diana hold hands, but you are too far away."

This time Wu Ming came prepared with an iron fist, but Bruce fought an encounter. The disadvantage was naturally huge.

Teleporting the little bat away and giving him time to prepare a plan would give him a chance of victory.

Katum has made his decision not to listen to Bruce's protests.

The small talk ends here.

Katum resumes his performance, angrily criticizing Bruce for his past actions.

In his words, Little Bat has simply reached the point where humans and gods are indignant and cannot be tolerated by nature.

"Bruce! You used me to travel across the universe, do all kinds of evil, swore a sworn relationship with the Red Skull, beat Professor McGonagall with a nunchuck, and even unspoken rules for the poor deep sea!"

"I have absolutely no unspoken rules for ever crossing the deep sea!"

Bruce protested to Katum through telepathy. Even if these were all nonsense, it was too much to say that he had hidden rules in the deep sea.

Wu Ming Iron Fist has been observing from the side.

He wanted to figure out what the owl was trying to do, but the more he looked, the more confused he became.

How do you feel that this guy is just scolding Bruce for fun?

In this case, his patience is almost exhausted.

"That's enough..."

Just as Wu Ming Iron Fist opened his mouth, suddenly, Bruce's whole figure began to twist. After a strange sound, Batboy had disappeared.

Only he was gone, and Katum and Diana remained.

"not good!"

Katum suddenly shouted, "This is my way to travel across the heavens. When did Bruce learn it secretly?"

Traveling across the universe again.

Wu Ming's iron-fisted brows were twitching wildly. His biggest disadvantage against Bruce was that he couldn't leave the world.

If Bruce wants to escape, he can't keep him.

So Wu Ming took control of Diana with an iron fist, hoping to use her as a hostage to prevent Bruce from making the decision to escape.

But Bruce still ran away.

"Are you sure he learned it secretly?"

Wu Ming Iron Fist asked coldly, "Didn't you teach him?"

"Then if that's the case, why don't I run away with him?"

The owl asked back, "Why should I stay and bear your wrath? For Bruce? I don't have that deep friendship with him. We just had a few meals together."

Wu Ming Iron Fist said no more.

Of course he didn't believe any of Katum's sophistry, but the question now was that Bruce had fled to the heavens, did he still have a chance to catch him?

This is the misunderstanding caused by Wu Ming Tiefang's lack of understanding of the time-travel mechanism.

If they really traveled across the heavens, Katum and Bruce could not be separated.

The scene fell into a brief silence, and after a moment, Wu Ming Tiezhan suddenly said.

"wrong!"

He turned to look at Katum, "Bruce can't really escape, he will definitely come back!"

Katum looked confused: "Why did he throw himself into a trap?"

"Because he's Bruce Wayne."

Wu Ming Iron Fist asserted, "Until he sees true despair, he will continue to try to defeat me instead of running away."

Bruce's departure this time is just a strategic shift.

He will be back.

Wu Ming Iron Fist was relieved, he raised his hand gently, a cold wind blew around him, a strange howling sound sounded, and countless undead appeared out of thin air.

This is the ability of Wu Merci Iron Fist. The souls of those killed by him will be enslaved by Wu Mercy Iron Fist forever.

Those undead spirits kept wandering in the air, slowly manifesting into reality, grabbing Diana and Katum and dragging them into the air.

"What are you doing!"

Katum screamed strangely, "I am also a member of Dark Batman, you can't do anything to me!"

"I'm no longer interested in playing these games with you."

Wu Ming's iron fist approached and pulled off Katum's bat hood.

He looked at the owl's face and said softly: "Just now, I suddenly had an idea, and now I want to try it."

"What do you think?" Katum asked.

"You said that in Bruce's heart, who is more important, you or Diana?"

Wu Ming Iron Fist turned his head and glanced at Diana who was still.

"If you two could only choose to save one, who would Bruce save?"

“Wonderful idea!”

Katum's eyes lit up, "Can I make some suggestions?"

Wu Ming Iron Fist frowned: "Did you hear clearly? I am going to use you as bait."

"I know, but what does this have to do with me giving advice?"

Katum looked like he was discussing seriously, "Your plan is actually a bit flawed. If you let Bruce choose, he must be the most important person to save. The one who was abandoned is not that important to him. His guilt won't last long.

"How about this, listen to my advice, you give Bruce two choices, but secretly swap my and Diana's positions, so that the person he saves in the end will only be another person.

"Wouldn't this make Bruce feel guilty and regretful for the rest of his life?"

Katum was talking eloquently, but Wu Ming Iron Fist was stunned.

Such a plan from the underworld, this owl actually took it for granted.

Aren't you and Bruce partners?

Why do you want to trick him?

"It seems that you have no expectation that Bruce will choose you."

Wu Ming Iron Fist thought of a possibility. He sneered and said, "In the final analysis, you are doing it for yourself to survive. Owl, owl, you really only think about yourself!"

"Excellent."

Katum was caught in mid-air by the undead, but he didn't look nervous at all.

He urged Wu Mercy Iron Fist: "Make a decision quickly! Do you want to adopt my suggestion?"

Wu Ming Iron Fist had nothing to say, he had completely understood Katum's shamelessness.

"Your advice is good."

After a long while, he said slowly, "But I refuse!"

"you……"

Katum sighed heavily, looking extremely regretful.

Iron Fist didn't want to waste any more time. With a move of his finger, the undead dragged the owl and Diana to Iron Fist's Batcave.

"I don't need any advice."

Wu Ming Iron Fist thought, "I only act according to my own thoughts."

He is such an independent person.

At this moment, his idea was to swap the positions of Katum and Diana after giving Bruce the option.

This is Wu Ming Tiefang's plan that he came up with on his own.

It has nothing to do with any owl.

…

There was a strange sound in mid-air, and then, Bruce's figure fell out of thin air.

He twisted in the air and landed safely.

After leaving the stasis force, he finally returned to normal actions and no longer had the weird feeling that his mind transcended his body.

"Katum..."

Recalling the previous scene, Bruce's heart still couldn't calm down.

Although the owl's attitude at the time seemed to have everything under control, Bruce understood that the owl had made a huge sacrifice by teleporting himself out.

Now, both Katum and Diana are in ruthless hands.

No one knows what kind of torture he will suffer.

"He must be waiting for me to save him!"

Bruce gritted his teeth and felt Katum's trust. At the most critical moment, the owl was still thinking of him!

He can't live up to this expectation!

Batboy swears on his parents' graves that he will rescue both Owl and Diana!

Determined, Bruce withdrew his thoughts and began to observe the surrounding environment.

Let’s first see where Katum teleported him.

Then after a while——

"Katum, why don't you die!!!"

Bruce cursed at the sky, already knowing where he was.

An orphanage in London!

"How long has it been and you still want to show off your cleverness!"

Bruce Wayne in Oliver Twist kept angrily cursing the owl.

Then, a voice suddenly came from his heart.

"Okay, scold me behind my back and let me catch you!"

That was Katum's voice, which sounded extremely angry, "I have made such a big sacrifice for you, and you are still scolding me behind my back! What a bully!"

"You are not human."

Bruce corrected him thoughtfully, not surprised by Katum's sudden voice.

This is not the first time they have experienced this kind of remote sound transmission.

"How are you doing now?"

Bruce asked with concern, "Did Iron Fist inflict any inhumane torture on you? For example, first scalding you with boiling water and then plucking your hair out?"

"That's not true," Katum said. "He just locked me up, and Diana was in the cell next to mine."

"pity."

Bruce sighed regretfully.

"It's a pity you're so big."

Katum cursed casually, and then returned to the topic, "You have to be careful. The Iron Fist is worthy of being Batman. He has expected that you will come back to challenge him again, and he is already prepared."

Bruce asked: "Then where are you now?"

"In the Batcave of Mercy," Katum said.

Bruce suddenly felt speechless. He rearranged his words and asked, "Where is the ruthless Batcave?"

"In Moscow."

"Where in Moscow?"

"The Batcave with no mercy."

"Just wait to die!"

Based on the experience of getting along with Katum for so long, Bruce can conclude that Katum probably doesn't know the exact location, so he talks so nonsense.

He thought in his mind that the Batcave either had special restrictions or was simply a gap in space.

Otherwise, Katum would have disapparated and escaped.

"It seems I can't count on you and me to be in harmony with each other."

Bruce shook his head and said, "Then I can only follow my own plan."

It is difficult to defeat Wu Ming Iron Fist, but it is not impossible. It was the sudden arrival of Wu Ming Iron Fist that put Bruce at a disadvantage for a moment.

But things are different now.

"Please help me keep an eye on Diana first, and don't let Wu Ming's iron fist hurt her."

Bruce said, "I'll be looking for him soon!"

"You weren't there, Wu Ming Iron Fist had no intention of hurting Diana."

Katum glanced at the prison next door. Diana closed her eyes and fell to the ground.

"Anyway, you just have to act quickly. When you said harsh words to the Dark Batman, it's time to execute them."

"I know."

After Bruce finished speaking, he cut off the call with Katum.

It was still night, and the stars were shining brightly. Bruce thought to himself that an hour ago he was watching stars with Diana, but it was a pity that his iron fist ruined his good deeds.

Just for this reason, it would not be enough for him to kill Wu Mercy Iron Fist a hundred times.

Bruce opened his palm and raised it to the sky. After a moment, Mjolnir flew from a distance and was held firmly by him.

Immediately afterwards, the little silver dragon Harley flew out from Thor's hammer.

It was originally in a high mood, and when it saw Bruce, it exhaled as a greeting.

But soon, after it flew around for several times and failed to see Katum, the whole dragon suddenly became unwell.

"Awwwww-"

Harley pulled Bruce's ears with her little paws and kept making pitiful growling sounds.

As if asking about the whereabouts of the owl.

"Don't worry, Katum didn't abandon you, he was just captured."

Bruce explained calmly, "And we'll get him out soon."

Captured?

Harley was stunned. At this moment, countless horrific scenes flashed in its little head, all of which were of Katum being tortured.

It burst into tears. Apart from it, no one in the world could feel more sorry for Katum.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"

Harley danced in front of Bruce, who couldn't understand its language but could understand its meaning.

We need to save him quickly!

"Okay, let's go now."

Bruce said, "You also have to have some faith in Katum. Even if the world is destroyed, that owl will not die."

These words gave Harley hope, and it finally stopped crying and reintegrated into Mjolnir.

The little silver dragon is full of energy now and must rescue Katum!

Bruce raised Mjolnir. There was a fragment missing from the cracked hammer.

Now, it's time to get that piece back!

…

Diana wakes up from her coma.

When he opened his eyes, he saw the ceiling of the prison.

"What's going on..."

She covered her head and sat up, her thinking seemed a little chaotic. In her memory, one second she was fighting against the ruthless iron fist, and the next second she fell into coma.

"Are you awake?"

Katum's voice came from next door, and Diana turned her head and saw the owl being hung upside down in the prison on the other side, with only an iron railing in between.

"Katum? What's wrong with you!"

Diana was frightened by the owl's current appearance. It looked like it was undergoing some kind of torture.

"Don't worry, I'm just looking at the world from a different perspective."

The owl flapped its wings and the whole bird flipped over in the air, but a white lasso was tied to his talons, making it impossible for him to escape.

Lasso of Lies, one of the three lassoes of fate.

Not from this world, but from the dark universe that was slaughtered by the ruthless iron fist.

If you are bound by this noose, you will fall into lies and illusions. Everything you see is illusion and you cannot reach reality.

But this worked poorly on Katum.

He is an owl without dreams, and he has seen the dreams of countless people at Hogwarts. The illusion of lies and nooses is really not new.

"What's going on with us now? Where's Bruce?"

Diana was not tied up like Katum. She stood up and checked the prison where she was being held. The iron bars seemed to be made of a special material. Diana tried her best, but she couldn't bend them.

"You can try the lever theorem."

Katum squeezed his head between the railings, "Tie the two railings with cloth, and then use a stick to twist them. It will save a lot of effort."

"It's not that simple."

Diana knocked on the railing, "There are traces of magic on this metal, and it shouldn't be pryable with ordinary brute force."

She stopped trying and brought up the topic again.

What's going on now?

"We were arrested with an unmerciful hand."

Katum said, "Bruce successfully transferred in, and now he should be thinking about how to save us outside."

"You don't seem nervous at all."

Diana said doubtfully, "Shouldn't the current situation be critical?"

"Can tension change the status quo?" Katum said. "If not, just accept the reality."

Diana was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "You are right, I should learn your mentality."

"My character is indeed worthy of learning."

The owl accepted Diana's praise calmly, held the railing with its wings, and pulled its head back.

"You stay here for a while."

He said, "I'm going to walk around and see what's hidden in this Batcave."

"ah?"

Diana was a little confused.

Aren't they in jail? Katum said it as if he was visiting.

"I am a magical owl. I can do many things that are unimaginable with a ruthless hand."

Katum took out a stuffed owl from its feathers and threw it into the sky.

"Go, Katum III!"
