Chapter 2379: Psychic Assault (Thirty-four)
Bei Bat hung up the phone and turned to Rachel and said, "The whole system is running smoothly, and the revenue is very considerable. At least we don't have to worry about the financial report for the next quarter."
Rachel opened her mouth and closed it again, folded her arms and turned her head to one side and said, "I'm a little unsure now, is subduing Fei Kangni our top priority?"
"Relax." Batman laughed, walked over and hugged Rachel and said, "At least we are under less pressure recently, right? It's time for you to take a long vacation. It won't be too late to deal with those annoying criminals when you come back."
Rachel sighed and said, "Although I don't think this is a long-term solution, it's good to be able to slow down for a while. You can make more money during this time, and you don't have to worry about the board of directors anymore."
"That's exactly what I thought." Bei Bat replied, "If this plan can improve my financial situation, that would be great, but more importantly, it's not a conscience-less move for the sake of making money."
"Is it really not considered at all?" Rachel began to doubt herself. She said, "After all, is there a lack of humanitarian considerations in trapping a person in an ambulance for two days and one night?"
"But Harvey has already said it, hasn't he? This is completely legal." Batman spread his hands and said, "I didn't hurt them. I just didn't take the initiative to help them. But any time you don't help someone you hate who you think shouldn't be helped, you can't be called a lack of humanitarian spirit."
Rachel couldn't seem to find any better words to refute, so she could only say, "Where's your distant relative's little girl? Do you need me to pick her up from school?"
"No need, her family came to pick her up today, and now I can focus more on my wealth improvement plan."
"Oh, what a shame." Rachel shook her head and said, "She's a lovely girl. I thought I could spend more time with her."
"Don't worry, she will come over to play again in the future. I promise you she will." Batman smiled and sent Rachel away. Not long after, the nanny brought Aisha over.
As soon as he saw Aisha, Beibat quickened his pace, bent down, ran towards her, and picked her up. Aisha cheered and kissed Beibat on the face.
"How was it? Did you have fun playing with the kids in kindergarten?"
"It's OK." Elsa clicked her tongue and said, "I didn't have a good time with you. It's a pity that I have to leave soon."
Beibat also kissed Aisha's cheek and said, "I just promised Ms. Rachel that you would come back to play with her again. You will, right?"
"Of course." Aisha cheered, then rolled her big blue eyes, looked at Beibat with a smile and said, "You like her, right? Next time you come, I promise to help you get her."
Bei Bat's eyes widened instantly. He was about to retort when Aisha snorted and said, "Come on, you can't hide it from me. I can hear emotions."
"I'm getting more and more curious about who your mother is." Bei Bat took the coat from the nanny, put it on Ai Sha, and then said, "The person who will pick you up will be here soon. Will you go back to school immediately?"
"No, I'm going on a business trip to another universe." Elsa seemed to have just learned the word "business trip". Her strange accent made Batman laugh. He didn't take it seriously and thought that Bruce was going to take Elsa to another universe to play. So he tightened Elsa's coat and sent her to the portal.
Aisha passed through the portal and yawned loudly as she walked into Doujie's office. Harley rushed over and touched her head and said, "You actually had a vacation for almost a month. It's really unfair. We are urged to do homework every day."
"I'm only in a few grades." Aisha rolled her eyes and said, "Your present is my future."
"You speak much more fluently now." Barry said in surprise, "Didn't you have a hard time understanding grammar before?"
"Because they talk to me every day, I have to talk even if I don't want to." Aisha sighed and said, "It's hard to imagine that a Batman likes to talk so much."
Harley and Barry looked at each other and shrugged. Although Bruce looked very young and lively and cheerful, that was only compared to other classic Batmans. He was not actually a talkative person and usually only said necessary words.
"It should have been done a long time ago," Barry said. "If you don't teach, you will never learn. Although not being able to speak is not a big problem, it is still fun to chat with."
Aisha yawned again and said, "I have to go to school today. It's too early to get up. I'm going to take a nap first. We'll leave when I wake up."
After Aisha left, Harley and Barry began to study the huge Book of the Dead that Harley was holding. Barry said, "Are you sure this is reliable? Just for your commercial street construction plan, you are going to make a deal with the evil god."
"First of all, this is not just for my commercial street construction plan. Secondly, that person is not the evil god. Moreover, this cannot be considered a deal. At most, we are giving him a little sweet taste first."
Barry curled his lips in disapproval, and Harley explained, "Look, we have a lot of money. I mean me and those idiots in Wayne Manor. Before the Gotham Music Festival, we invested in many projects together. We made a lot of money and are still making profits now. You also have a share of it."
"Yes, that's a lot of money, isn't that enough?"
"Of course it's not enough. Although we don't want to surpass Wayne, we still have to create our own business and can't just rely on the Wayne Group for its past success. But they don't have any awareness of this and don't have any business sense. I'm the only one who can do it."
"And your business acumen is just mumbling to a book in the middle of the night about how you want to make a fortune? Come on, didn't Professor Strange say that the only one who would respond to such excessive demands of yours must be an evil god?"
"But he also said that as long as you can defeat the evil god, you can press his head and ask him to help you realize your wish."
"But the problem now is that we can't win."
"Who said that?" Harley rolled her eyes, her gaze stopped on Barry's face and said, "I may not be able to beat him, but you and the guys in Wayne Manor may not be. To put it bluntly, we have Batman and Professor Schiller behind us."
"I still think it's a bit too radical." Barry frowned and said, "Besides, the universe that the evil god asked you to go to can't be a good place. And, and he didn't even tell you what he wanted you to do. This is very wrong."
"So I'm not planning on just rushing over there." Harley approached Barry and said, "I've overheard the conversation between Constantine and Zatanna before, and I know where the highest institution of mysticism is. It has almost all the mystical data ever recorded by mankind. I think we can go there and take a look."
"You don't just want to go around." Barry said, "You're targeting Dr. Sosip, but I must remind you that if you mess around in All Souls College, the consequences will be the same as shitting on Kamar-Taj. We will be hunted down by the entire occult community."
"Why do you always assume I'm going to mess up?"
"Because you just can." Barry said helplessly, "Every plan you took me to participate in was bad."
Harley was not happy about this. She put her hands on her hips and said, "Then let me ask you, are your abilities becoming more and more sophisticated?"
"Not really skilled, but a little better than before."
"So are you becoming more and more able to control the dark power that is combined with the Speed Force?"
"It's not completely controllable, but it's less likely to get out of control."
"So you are getting richer and richer?"
"That's true. My parents were shocked when they saw my account. They even thought I was Wayne's adopted son."
"So are you getting better at studying?"
"I'll say it again. Although you tutored me in grammar, I was able to get such a good grade because I studied all night long."
"Everything seems to be going well for you, but you actually accused me of bringing you to cause trouble. You might as well say that those idiots in Wayne Manor are pure bullshit."
Barry was speechless, so he said: "Okay, I'll take you to Oxford, I should be able to find the doctor, but you have to promise me..."
"I know, be polite in your words and behave properly, so let's go."
Barry brought Harley to Oxfordshire almost in an instant. They entered Oxford University and walked around All Souls College. At first it was just an ordinary walk, but when they found there were no clues here, Barry wanted to use the speed force to take Harley away.
But once he entered the Speed Force, Barry saw many blurry fragments, and the Flash's natural sensitivity to time made him realize that there were clues here, but the clues were hidden deep in time.
Barry soon found the entry point, and the two of them flashed and fell on the floor of the study.
Harley covered her head which had just been hit and let out a cry of pain. Just as she was about to complain to Barry why the landing was so rough this time, her attention was attracted by the scene in the study.
"Wow, this looks like the office of some evil alchemist from the Middle Ages."
"I'm not some evil alchemist, young lady." A gentle voice came from behind, startling Harry.
The moment Harley turned around, she saw a man with black hair and brown eyes, and she was instantly attracted by those eyes.
"Uh, sorry, sir." Barry's voice came from behind, "I mean, Dr. Sohip, we want to come to your place to look for some information."
Barry signaled to Harry with his eyes to take out the book, but Harry just stared at Sosip, as if he wanted to find something on his face.
"No, we're fine." Harry suddenly shook her head and said, "We just heard Constantine mention you, so we came to see you."
"What are you looking at?"
"Nothing, I just heard that it was quite mysterious, so I came to see it with my own eyes." Harry took two steps back and gently pulled the arm under his chin with his hands behind his back.
This was the secret signal they had agreed upon long ago, and Barry took a step forward immediately. However, before he could enter the speed force, a thick fog lingered around the two of them.
"You are indeed..."
"Shh..."
They saw the man standing in the thick fog making a gesture, and soon the fog dissipated. Harley stared at Soship's face like a cautious wolf.
"You are indeed his believer." Harry took a deep breath and said, "What do you want to do? Kill us?"
"Of course not. The deal between you and him is done, so just do what you have to do."
Barry was stunned. He turned to look at Harley, who lowered her voice and said, "He is a believer of the Nameless Mist."
"Is that the evil god you made a deal with?"
"Sh-!"
Barry immediately realized that he had said something wrong. He went to look at Sohip, but found that the man was still looking at them with a smile.
But he didn't tell us what we were going to do. Barry still expressed his doubts, "What's the point of just letting us stay in one universe?"
"Then go ahead." Sosip said, "Sometimes, meaninglessness is not necessarily a bad thing. If there is no goal, it cannot be called a plan, and naturally there is no way to counter it. Go ahead."
