Chapter 1707 Bruce Wayne and the Chamber of Secrets (IV)
"Gods? Are you saying you have angel and demon blood in you?"
Harley sat down on the soft mattress Helen had conjured up. Seeing Helen's slightly surprised expression, Harley spread her hands and explained, "Sorry, but I'm not from your universe. In fact, I don't know the New York you just mentioned. The city I live in is called Gotham, in New Jersey."
"New York is not far from New Jersey." Helen also jumped onto the bed, but she sat cross-legged in the middle of the bed. She looked Harley up and down.
The girl in front of her with platinum hair was much older than her and had entered her teenage years. She had fair skin and a sweet look, but for some reason she always had a gloomy Gothic temperament, which was not common in girls of this age.
"My other father, you can also think of him as my mother, is from the Asgard God Clan. You must have heard of Norse mythology, right?"
"So the God Clan in your universe is the group of gods in Norse mythology? Odin or something?"
"Yes, then what about your universe?"
"There are many. Angels include Lucifer, Michael, Gabriel, etc., and demons include Beelzebub, Azazel, etc. I heard from Diana before that Zeus is also real."
"Do you have a cosmic demon god there?"
"What is that?"
"Well... a powerful creature that lives in the universe and is rarely known to humans." Helen stroked her fingers and Her cheeks seemed to be unsure of how to explain to Harley. After thinking for a long time, she said, "They are the opposite of interstellar civilization. The entire race has only one powerful individual, and each one is different. The powerful ones among them can even occupy a dimension, called dimensional demons, represented by Mephisto who controls hell, Dormammu, the lord of the dark dimension, and so on."
"Then what about the magic of this universe?" Harley asked again, "Who do you borrow from? ... Wait, you need to borrow money, right?"
"In essence, yes." Although Helen gave an affirmative answer, she still shook her head and said, "But I was born , humans no longer need to borrow money. "
"Then what do you rely on?"
"It started with robbery, then cheating. What I mean is a kind of 'comprehensive financial activity'..."
Harry didn't fully understand what Helen meant. The two exchanged the situation of the two universes. In the end, Helen leaned on Harley completely, rubbed her arm with her head and said, "I don't know why, you look a little different from the people in this world, as if you are particularly dark, but I like it very much. I often feel that the people in this universe are too cheerful. "
"Come on, I am already the most cheerful person in our universe." Harley spread her hands and rolled her eyes. He said, "If you knew someone who came with me, you would know what true darkness is."
"Let's not talk about this, let's talk about school. What grade are you going to take?"
"The old wizard said before that I can go directly to the fourth grade, but she also said that if we adapt well, we can skip grades."
Helen took a breath, she changed her posture, no longer sticking to Harley, but a little further away from her, and looked her up and down again, and said with some sigh: "It seems that she has confidence in you, I hope you can handle it."
"What do you mean?" Harley looked at Helen in surprise and asked.
Helen shook her head, as if she felt that this matter could not be described. Soon she pressed against Harley again. The two girls leaned against the head of the bed, their heads close together. Helen turned her eyes and said, "Have you studied preparatory courses in the village?"
"No, we were thrown directly into the study of the Supreme Sorcerer. I almost fainted because of the altitude reaction just now."
"Wait!" Helen exclaimed. She straightened up from her paralyzed state, stared into Harley's eyes and said, "You mean, you have been to the study of the Supreme Sorcerer? Who took you away from there? Was it Master Gu Yi?"
Harley found a trace of anxiety on Helen's face. She blinked and shook her head and said, "No, it was not the old wizard. He was taken away by the Supreme Sorcerer. They call him Master Song, and there is a little girl called Sirila, who is not much older than me. "
Helen let out a long breath and relaxed. Harley saw something was wrong. She squinted her eyes and looked at Helen and asked, "Who is Master Gu Yi? Why do you look a little afraid of her?"
"I..." Helen dragged out a long tone. She introduced to Harley who Gu Yi was in the most concise language, and then she said, "The study room of Kamar-Taj Academy is now shared by two Supreme Sorcerers. Master Gu Yi will come back occasionally. I am just worried... the study room is too messy."
This paragraph is inconsistent. Harley's eyes narrowed even more. She took her legs from the bedside to the bed, sat down with legs crossed like Helen, and asked in a string of words.
"So what if Master Ancient One is back? The one who cleans the study is obviously that little girl Sirila, what are you worried about? How could the study be so messy?"
"Uh..."
Helen doesn't seem to be good at lying, and more importantly, the pure atmosphere of this universe makes it impossible for her to make up a lie to fool a Gotham resident. Although Harley is not good at detective skills, the dark nature of the universe she lives in means that it is not just Batman who is suspicious.
"You must have something interesting to hide from me!" Harley snorted and said, "If you don't tell me, I will tell Master Song!"
"Oh my god, don't do this." Helen raised her head and wailed, and then said: "We just met not long ago, you can't just let me tell you the secret."
"But secrets are only fun if they are shared with others." Harley shook Helen's shoulders vigorously and said, "Just tell me, I am interested in all the interesting things in the world. Maybe I can help I’m busy.”
Helen seemed a little tangled, her lips pursed again and again, and her cheeks with a little baby fat bulged up, as if she couldn't help but reveal the secret.
In the end, Helen couldn't stand Harley's constant teasing. She moved to the bedside, jumped off the big bed, waved to Harley and said, "Come with me, come to my room, I'll show you something."
Harley is a little wary but not much. This girl is a complete fun-loving person. Although she has not completely turned into Harley Quinn because of Schiller, she is still a little crazy and is not afraid of taking risks for fun.
Harry followed Helen to her room. Their rooms were next to each other. The apartments were mirror symmetrical. They both had a large bed and a huge cabinet beside the bed. Helen was lying in the bottom drawer of the cabinet. After rummaging for something, after a while, she took out a book.
Harry moved forward curiously, while Helen blew on the cover of the book to blow away the fine dust accumulated on it, and then stroked the lines of the strange words on the cover with her fingers.
When she moved her finger away, there was a dizzying string of words written on it - "Necronomicon".
Harley took a breath, she closed her eyes hard, then shook her head and said, "Are you serious? I dare say, this book embodies amazing darkness! Where did you find it? ?”
"The Master's Study."
Harry stiffened, and Helen looked around, walked to the door and stuck her head out to make sure there was no one in the corridor, and then returned to the desk with the book.
She placed the book in the center of the table, then moved a chair for Harry, and the two sat down opposite each other at the desk.
The blizzard in the Himalayas has not stopped, and the howling storm is outside the circular Zen window. When the bright light reflected from the snow enters the room, all the furniture casts long cold shadows.
"Like you, I didn't go to school normally. We will talk about this part later, but... I think you should also see that I am much more logical than normal children of this age. This This wisdom comes from my father, one of my fathers.”
"Don't ask for any details. Anyway, I am not only a protoss, but also a descendant of a unique genius in the universe. In addition to a wise mind, he also gave me a strong curiosity. So when I walked through the portal and landed in the study of the Supreme Mage, At that time, I moved something that I shouldn’t have moved.”
"This book?"
"Yes, I am sure that Master Gu Yi had just left at that time, and before she left, she was studying this book."
"What's so special about this book?"
"I am trying to investigate, but this means a more serious thing, that is, the current Supreme Mage Strange does not know the existence of this book at all." Helen gently rubbed the edge of the book with her fingers and said: "Otherwise, he wouldn't have let the portal for my admission open in his study. He didn't even know that Master Gu Yi was using the study at that time. I don't know why Gu Yi wanted to hide it from him."
"That doesn't sound like a good sign."
"Of course not." Helen shook her head slightly and said: "When a mage studies something behind everyone's back, it means that the desire for knowledge exceeds the desire for the truth, otherwise why not use more Genius brains are here to work together on research.”
"The extreme possessiveness of knowledge will inevitably make people gradually blur their own existence." Harley continued: "When a person's power has reached its peak, they can easily fall into this state. They will believe that there is a research They don't have the answer yet, and they will do whatever it takes to get it."
"That's what I'm worried about."
"But that's not the reason why you stole this book! It's better for you to study this book than to let Gu Yi study it!" Harley's eyes widened and she said, "At least in case some kind of monster comes out of this book. I can beat him!"
"I can fight it, too. The monster is not scary at all." Helen looked up into Harley's eyes and said, "The scary thing is that the elephant is in the room, but none of us can see it."
As the picture gradually settled on the ornately decorated Gothic-style "Necronomicon", the expressions of everyone in the Rodriguez College office seemed to be enacting a mysterious appearance.
"I have never heard my teacher mention this book." Strange's eyes narrowed slightly, and when his eyelashes crossed, there was a bit of deep darkness in his pupils.
Schiller's expression was a bit subtle, because if he remembered correctly, the author of this book was none other than Schiller Rodriguez.
