Chapter 185 Inner Belief
If Li Lei did not intervene in the development of the Batman story, then Jason would become the second-generation Robin beside Bruce, and for some ridiculous reasons, Jason would be killed by the Joker.
Although he will be resurrected for other reasons in the end, Jason is already dead, and only the red hood is resurrected.
It can be said that Li Lei doesn't like the development of this plot very much.
Of course, with the protests of the readers, the authors of the original work also began to revise the plot, so that Jason's character began to return to normal.
It was because he was worried about triggering the dark factors in Jason's heart that Li Lei kept suppressing Jason's development.
You must know that Jason's spear skills were learned from Death Archer, but Li Lei did not allow Jason to use a real gun, but let him use the energy gun with much weakened lethality.
This kind of energy gun can at most cause the victim to be stunned, and there is still a long way to go before death.
As for Jason's fighting skills, they were formed under the teachings of the ninja master and the punisher, and the fighting skills of these two have always been aimed at killing people.
However, on the one hand, Li Lei restricted Jason from using lethal weapons, and on the other hand, he tried to minimize the possibility that Jason might be directly involved in the task.
But now that Li Lei has a gift from the God of Assassins that is extremely suitable for Jason's future, Li Lei is considering whether to give it to Jason now.
With the development of the storyline, Li Lei knew that the entire dimension of Gotham City had become chaotic.
The Zentraedi, Blank, and Roseburg who may come with Supergirl in the future, plus the super villains who are about to appear in Gotham City, Li Lei can only say that the difficulties everyone will face are getting more and more difficult. strong.
If he didn't let go and let Jason grow up, maybe Jason would suffer misfortune because of his overprotection during that mission.
When the time comes, where can I find Little Superman to break the dimensional wall?
And he is not familiar with Master Ninja, so he may not lend the pool to himself.
"If it is really the fate that Jason must face in the future, then we can only accept it."
After pondering for a long time, Li Lei finally spoke.
"If we wanted to prevent him from getting into such a situation, we should completely prevent him from contacting us.
Now that he reached out to us and chose to be part of the Lions, it was inevitable that one day he would need to kill.
We will figure out a way to deal with the darkness in his heart when the time comes. If he cannot be dissuaded from degenerate, I will kill him before that day comes. "
"Well, if you think this is the best option, then I have no reason to continue to object."
Hamada Hiroshi said.
After making a decision with Hamada Hiroshi, Li Lei went upstairs to find Jason.
Now Jason and Adam live in the same room. When Li Lei knocked on the door and entered, he saw Jason and Adam hurriedly packing their things, and then Jason smiled awkwardly.
Li Lei glanced at the magazine hidden under the quilt, probably not some study or educational newspaper, but Li Lei didn't bother to expose it.
Children of this age should be curious, as long as they don't do anything out of the ordinary.
"Adam, Hiro Hamada is looking for you downstairs."
Li Lei said to Adam.
Adam gave Jason a look of sympathy for you, then got dressed and left the room.
Li Lei closed the door, "Jason, I think I have something to talk to you about."
"No way, Ray?
I just read an adult magazine, you don't need to talk to me so seriously, do you?
I didn't do anything bad. "
Very annoyed, Jason threw the magazine hidden under the quilt to Li Lei, and then looked at Li Lei in embarrassment.
"First, I didn't talk to you because of the magazine; second, I hope you don't waste your intelligence and ability on these insignificant things in the future."
Li Lei didn't take the magazine away, but threw it on Li Lei's bed.
"In fact, Hamada Hiroshi and I have been thinking about a question, whether to take you to participate in the execution of the mission, and to what extent you should be involved.
I think you should be able to see that I am very opposed to your participation in the mission.
Even the occasional missions that take you on are non-trivial missions, and you're performing auxiliary logistics.
It's because I'm worried, because I don't know what the aftermath is going to be if you expose yourself to murder too early.
But now I find a dilemma. If I want you to continue to participate in the mission, then I must let go of the restrictions on you; if I don't want you to kill people, then I must let you return to the normal life of a student.
Jason, I now turn that choice up to you.
If you want to stay in the Lion Mercenary Group, then you have to really face some tasks, and you may even need to kill people.
Killing is not as slow and powerful as in the movie, it is a very painful thing.
You may fall into depression and anxiety for a long time because of this, and even one day you will become a split personality and degenerate into a criminal.
And if that day comes, I, Hiroshi Hamada, or Bruce will kill you without hesitation.
And if you want to give up all of this, I will also help you erase this memory, and at the same time help you find a wealthy family that loves you to adopt you, so that you can live the kind of sultry rich life you expected Live less.
I want to know your choice, remember, Jason, this is a very big choice, if you feel difficult to choose, you can tell me in a few days.
No matter what your final choice is, I will respect your choice. "
"Ray, can you let me think about it for a while?"
Jason seemed a little overwhelmed, "This choice seems too important to me, and I don't even know how to think about it.
Ray, I wonder what you thought the first time you killed someone?
Are you also worried that one day you will degenerate into a devil because of the darkness in your heart? "
"Is this my first time killing someone?"
Li Lei closed his eyes and thought for a while.
When he traveled here, the original Li Lei killed a gangster in order to avoid the pursuit of a certain gangster.
Even though that Li Lei no longer exists, the feeling of killing the little gangster still exists subconsciously.
When Li Lei touched this memory, Li Lei immediately had the urge to retch.
As for the first time I killed someone after transmigrating, it was not so exaggerated, maybe because I had experienced it subconsciously, maybe because I thought it was a game at the time, anyway, Li Lei actually exposed it like this.
However, the feeling of retching caused by fear seemed to be engraved in the deepest part of his heart, and the helplessness after retching was still fresh in Li Lei's memory.
"I don't know how to describe the feeling, the feeling of fear, disgust, shame and so on mixed together.
Although I know that if I don't kill that person, then the dead person must be me.
I also convinced myself that that little bastard also had other people's lives on his hands, so I killed him to do justice to the heavens.
But after killing someone, I retched at his corpse.
It's the kind of thing that wants to vomit but can't vomit anything, and the whole person burst into tears.
It's not the first time I've seen a dead body, I've been a criminal defense attorney after all.
For the profession, seeing a dead body is almost as uncommon as seeing a steak.
To take a life by your own hands is a very special experience.
Even now, I don't think I'm comfortable with it.
This comes from the awe of life deep in our hearts, and it is this awe that keeps us sane and sober.
If I could teach you anything, it's not to be ashamed of your fear of life, it's what makes us human. "
"I think I get it, thank you, Ray."
Jason said, "But I still want to think about it."
"no problem."
Li Lei touched Jason's head, "Whether you need me or Hamada Hiroshi, we are willing to listen to your opinions at any time.
Don't think too much about some things, just follow your heart. "
After Li Lei finished speaking, he left Jason's room.
In the living room on the first floor, Li Lei found that Adam was eating biscuits in the living room.
Seeing Li Lei going downstairs, he suddenly said, "Do you and Jason have something important and secret to say?
I feel like this is a big event related to Jason's future? "
"I didn't expect that after you learned priest spells, your perception would improve a lot."
Li Lei said, "Yes, Jason will soon face a choice related to his future.
This choice is something he has to face, and neither I nor you can help him.
If he can make the choice smoothly, then he will really grow up and admit it.
By the way, Adam, how is your learning of light magic?
How many light spells or halos have you learned?
I want to hear about your academic success. "
"Light magic?
Healing and group therapy are the focus of learning. In addition, I also learned a halo spell that can calm my heart.
When I open this aura, people around me and myself will enter a state of inner peace, which can prevent certain evil thoughts from invading deep inside. "
Adam talked about his latest spell.
"Aura of tranquility?"
Li Lei said curiously, "If you go back to the room later, don't disturb Jason's thinking.
But you can open up your aura of tranquility, which may help Jason find his inner answer. "
"Can this help Jason?
That's great, I can finally help you guys. "
Adam put the remaining cookies back in the box and went upstairs to his room.
Watching Adam leave, Li Lei suddenly felt that he was in a much better mood.
"Did you tell Jason about it?"
Hamada Hiroshi saw Li Lei coming to the basement, he leaned on the sofa and asked.
"Would you like a drink?
wine?
Brandy?
Or whiskey?
If you want some Huaxia wine, I can also accompany you. "
"Perhaps I should try your favorite Irish whiskey."
Li Lei knew that one of Hamada Hiroshi's few hobbies was collecting wine, and Irish whiskey was one of Hamada Hiroshi's favorite wines.
"You would choose. Irish whiskey is the best whiskey for beginners."
Hamada Hiroshi took out a bottle of wine from under the bar in the basement.
"Because the fermented raw material of Irish whiskey has not been smoked, it does not have the burnt aroma of ordinary whiskey.
People who like it think that the burnt aroma is a manifestation of the masculine flavor of whiskey, while those who don't like it think that the burnt aroma destroys the long-lasting aroma of whiskey.
Moreover, Irish whiskey is added with water when it is finally bottled, so the taste is not so exciting, so more people like it.
Drinking whiskey is suitable for adding some water, but the Irish whiskey that has been added with water is a perfect match with ice cubes. "
Hamada Hiroshi put an ice puck into the wine glass while talking, and then poured the light golden wine.
"Whiskey on the rocks reduces the harshness of the alcohol without reducing the strength of the drink itself."
After finishing speaking, Hamada Hiroshi handed the wine glass to Li Lei, "What's Jason's reaction?
I guess he should be thinking? "
"Yes, he said he would think about it for a while."
Li Lei took a sip of the whiskey, and the strong aroma of wheat rose in his mouth.
"I asked Adam to go back to his room with him, and Adam's new aura of tranquility could help Jason think better.
In fact, this choice is not a very simple matter even for us. After all, if he chooses to continue to stand with us, then his hands will inevitably be stained with blood.
I still think it's a little too much for a child's hands to get these on. "
"But do we have any other options?"
Hiroshi Hamada showed the frequency of major criminal cases in Gotham City in the past week.
"The older the group of bosses, the more they can't control these subordinates, and with the arrival of the Assassin's Alliance, local forces that were originally quiet like the Court of Owls have also become active.
Now these people are increasingly disobeying the old underworld rules, and it is almost insignificant to start a fight.
Just yesterday, heavy weapons were used in order to compete for territory!
Do you know how many people died?
In addition to those damned punks, more than 30 passers-by died in the conflict, and more than 40 people were dying!
Ray, didn't you say that Batman's 'no killing' method didn't work?
Only killing can deter killing!
Ray, from the moment we decided to form the Lion Mercenaries, danger has been everywhere.
If you still treat Jason and Adam as children, then you are really hurting them.
There is always a moment in this world that we can't take care of. If Jason and Adam die because of our powerlessness, do you think your heart can be at peace?
So, we have to train them, or keep them out of Gotham City altogether.
Otherwise, we would have effectively killed two children! "
Hamada Hiroshi's words seemed to hit Li Lei's heart with a heavy hammer. Li Lei gulped down the rest of the wine in one gulp, then poured himself another glass of whiskey.
"Xiaohong, do you think people like me who know what the future holds are doomed to have a bad life?
You see, I am forming the Justice League and the Lion Mercenary Corps. Not only do I want to have a good relationship with the Sky Eye Society, but I also want to establish good cooperation channels with other forces.
In the final analysis, I hope to have a few more cards in my hand at the most dangerous time. "
"That's the way it is, why do philosophers die in the end?
It's because they think too much. "
Hamada Hiroshi gave Li Lei a white look.
"Actually, my advice to you is, if it's meant to happen, why not let it happen?
You can do enough things, do you want to instantly develop the earth into the most powerful planet in the universe?
Not to mention how unreliable your ideas are, do you have no troubles if you become an advanced planet in the universe?
If you look at Krypton, isn’t it still facing a planetary explosion and clan strife?
By the way, there is also the invasion of Blainek.
So, you're just thinking too much. "
While Li Lei was drinking and chatting with Hamada Hiroshi, Jason suddenly came down to look for Li Lei.
Looking at Jason's expression, Li Lei guessed that he already had a choice, but he still reminded, "Jason, do you really only need to think about it for a few hours?"
"I asked my heart, no matter how long I think about it, I think my choice is still this."
Jason smiled and replied, "I want to be a superhero, even if I know I might die because of it, even if I know my hands might be stained with blood, but I don't want to give up my ideal.
Even though I will fall into darkness, I have saved many people who have fallen into darkness before this.
Yes, Ray, I had this realization when you first found me. "
"Well, since you think so."
Li Lei felt that he breathed a sigh of relief.
In the system panel, he combined Jing Ke's two-handed sword and Jing Ke's [Ten Steps, One Kill]
It was transferred to Jason, and Jason was puzzled at first, but then became overjoyed.
"Oh My God!
Is this pair of short swords really that powerful?
And is the move 'Ten Steps, One Kill' really as powerful as it says? "
Jason looked at Li Lei incredulously, "Aren't I going to become one of the strongest people on this planet?"
"It's just an assassin skill, it's not enough to make you the most powerful one."
Li Lei reminded, "However, regarding the two-handed sword and the power of that move, you can go to the training ground and try your three teachers.
Master Ninja and Punisher are first-class killers. I think these killer skills can only be known by their inspection. "
After Li Lei's reminder, Jason immediately entered his exclusive training ground to practice, while Li Lei and Hamada Hiroshi continued to drink.
Hamada Hiroshi looked at Li Lei's smile, and couldn't help complaining, "Are you satisfied?
The person I care about the most finally chose the same direction as me.
What about yourself?
What are your thoughts?
Especially after the time bureau. "
"I figured it out, after completing the ultimate mission, find a way to leave this world.
I don't know what's outside of this world, maybe it's a broken world like "The Matrix" depicts, but I think I still want to return to that real world, because at least it's real.
I'm a little tired of the feeling of being a prophet. Being a prophet is really a kind of punishment, and it's the kind of endless punishment. "
There was a hint of resentment in Li Lei's luck.
Regarding Li Lei's complaints, Hamada Hiroshi didn't know how to comfort him. He could only say that Li Lei was the Chosen One, so naturally he had to take on more things.
While Li Lei was spitting out acid water, Ted appeared out of nowhere again.
Seeing Li Lei's pessimistic look, he sat down beside Li Lei quite solemnly, "Brother, I actually want to tell you that despite the glory of the system host, there are more hosts that have failed.
You are actually a relatively successful host, because many hosts are really beyond words.
For example, some hosts who were reborn in the United States with a system thought that they had a system, that they were Long Aotian, Zhao Ritian and the like, and thought that everything could be cleared with money.
But the problem is that although the United States is a world where capital is king, it doesn't mean that you can buy everything with money.
Even if you use money to settle the local government, it does not mean that you can settle the state government and the federal government, let alone the news media watching.
I have only seen a host, and it is obvious that the matter is his fault, and it will be fine if you spend money to find a lawyer.
In the end, he insisted on paying the police, and fortunately, he was photographed by the reporter.
It turned out that it was a trivial matter, but he turned it into a major event, and finally spent 15 years in a federal prison with the system.
When he came out, his chrysanthemums were in full bloom into sunflowers. "
"Ted, are you comforting me or are you cursing me?"
Li Lei interrupted Ted's topic, "First of all, you are not a Shenhao system, and secondly, I am not an idiot, so don't talk about these insignificant things.
By the way, today should be the day you are going back to the committee, right?
Didn't the committee ask you to send me any instructions? "
"Where is there any instruction from the committee?
Your performance in the time bureau really shocked them. "
Ted couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry, the committee won't give you blind instructions anymore, they feel that they have nothing to guide you.
In the future, you can convey any comments and requests you have to the committee through me. If they think it is reasonable and in line with the system regulations, they will find a way to satisfy you.
By the way, the tenant who came to stay this time is related to your previous tenant.
And according to the news I received, he has a very bad impression of you. "
"Since you have such a bad impression of me, why do you still come to live in my homestay?"
Li Lei was a little puzzled, "I think I'm not the only one who owns the homestay system, right?
He can go to stay in a B&B in another dimension, why bother himself? "
"The customer's choice is the first priority, so stop mumbling."
Ted said, "There's a suggestion from the committee that I want to pass on to you, but it's up to you to take it or not.
What the committee is saying is that you're right to start a league of superheroes.
After all, when superheroes are united, their overall fighting power is higher than their fighting power alone.
At the same time, superheroes from aliens like Superman can also improve everyone's technological level by the way. With high-tech assistance, combat power should also be improved.
Therefore, the committee recommends that you do not limit yourself to the current superheroes, such as the Green Arrow family and the Superman family. These are all relatively powerful superhero families in this dimension.
By the way, you have to dig deep into the Batman family.
Some superheroes will not be born without triggering certain conditions, so you have to work hard. "
"In the end, it's just some care that doesn't hurt."
Li Lei curled his lips and said, "Although Green Arrow's family is about to go bankrupt, he is also a second-generation rich man. Speaking of which, his life is more chic than Batman's.
However, the blood relationship of their family is a bit confusing, if it is not dedicated to research, it must be confused. "
"You are also a rich man now, don't you have anything to say to these rich second generations?"
Ted looked at Li Lei in disbelief, "With your current social status, even if you go to the most upscale nightclub in New York City, there will be a bunch of supermodels coming to ask for your acquaintance, right?
And I checked, didn't you get a lot of invitations to social parties?
Why do you always stay at home and not go out?
Your family is a bunch of nerds, this won't work!
You see, how responsible I am as an NPC, I also worry about your social and spiritual life. "
"You don't have to worry about this, I think we live a happy life like this."
Li Lei said.
"Forget it, if you want to continue to stay at home, you can continue to stay at home.
By the way, the time is up, I should go back too. "
Ted jumped down from the bar, "My lord host, you have to remember, this tenant doesn't have a good impression of you, and he is also a very domineering person.
If you have a physical conflict, the system will deduct points for you, so don't let this happen! "
"I see."
Li Lei nodded.
"I promise to try my best to control my emotions and not to care about like him."
"Then I wish the landlord and the new tenant a happy relationship."
After Ted finished speaking, he left the basement and returned to Li Lei's bedroom.
"Who is the new tenant?
Since I don't like you, why come to your homestay? "
Hamada Hiroshi also did not understand.
"God knows!"
Li Lei shrugged, "It's not like you don't know that Ted likes to be secretive about this matter the most.
He said that this person has something to do with Jing Ke, and he doesn't like me.
Are there too many people related to Jing Ke?
Is it Prince Dan? "
Just as Li Lei and Hamada Hiroshi guessed the identity of the new tenant, there was a knock on the living room door...
