Chapter 71 Billy and the Ghostbusters
Regarding Professor Snape's answer, Harry tilted his head, not understanding why the professor's words became dry when it was his father's turn.
Maybe you don't know him?Harry was a little lost.
After the conflict just now, the atmosphere between her and the Potions Professor eased up a lot.Harley understands the other party's desire to go back to school - this is also out of concern for her friend's daughter, although the method and words are a bit extreme.
"Well...thank you." Harley nodded, suddenly a little embarrassed after revealing her true feelings not long ago, "Thank you for what you just said, I appreciate it; no one knows mom like you, and told me Her story, it's dear to me."
"But I won't go back to school for the time being," Harry said firmly, looking up at the Potions professor, "at least until Uncle Bruce comes back...he's not dead, and the Justice League is looking for him. I promise you, as long as he comes back, I will go back to school and study magic seriously."
Professor Snape on the opposite side seemed to want to say something, but he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, opened them again, his eyes were clear, the anger was gone, only a trace of sadness remained.
"Well... it seems that nothing I say can change your mind," he paused, took out a wand from his pocket, and handed it to Harry, "This is your mother's wand...for now, please Don't ask me how I got it."
"Ten and a quarter inches, made of willow," Professor Snape encouraged Harry with his eyes, "please accept it, this is a wand with a license. The United States won't let you take wands out of the campus The regulations have always disgusted me, with it, you can at least have a weapon to protect yourself in an emergency."
Harley wanted to say that she couldn't use magic to deal with most criminals now, but seeing the expectant eyes of the other party, she couldn't say no...and, most importantly, this was her mother's stuff.
Apart from two photos, she doesn't have anything else that belongs to her mom.
"Okay... thank you, Professor Snape." Harry carefully put the wand into the short stick's shadow box, which was the only place on her body where she could keep a wand intact.
"I still have tasks...then, I'll go first." Harry pursed his lips, and finally waved to Professor Snape, turned around and shot the grapple gun decisively, and jumped down the top floor before Brother Dick.
Brother Dick followed her not long after, he cleared his throat, "Ha... Robin, you handled it well just now."
The cold night wind blowing past her ears made her a little dazed, "When you first started training me, you all said that I didn't have any talent... Yes, I overheard it. Don't be embarrassed, I didn't feel too much hit."
Harry looked at brother Dick's expression that seemed to open his mouth to defend, "What I want to say is that maybe this is what my mother and I have in common, we are not that different."
Brother Dick's soft laughter rang in his ears, this is a Batman who can laugh.
"Forget what he said, you are very cute and sweet, and your brothers and I think so; besides, you are also a princess." Dick added, "It seems that we do not pamper you enough, and let you I don’t think I’m a princess enough. Well... I’ve decided, I’ll give you a crown, a diamond, for your next birthday gift. How about it? Is it enough for a princess?”
Harley was amused, "No, no crown, why would I want that." She hesitated, "And, actually, I don't think 'sweet' is a compliment now...you can't hit 'sweet' criminal."
Dick doesn't agree with this, he wants to say that although 'sweet' can't fight criminals, it can save heroes who have fallen into darkness.
Before opening his mouth, Dick's attention was attracted by the sound of light and shallow breathing behind him. It was probably... the professor just now used some magic he didn't understand to become invisible.
Looking at the little jumping figure in front of him, Dick decided to turn a blind eye to this "tail" following them.
The main target of Batman and Robin's actions tonight is the Gotham Orphanage.
Landing in the dilapidated alley behind the orphanage's back door, Harry waved to a figure standing not far away.
"Hi, Billy! Sorry we were delayed on the road."
"Robin, Batman," the 15-year-old boy named Billy Batson trotted a few steps to meet them, "it's okay, just come."
The boy in front of him is 15 years old, wearing a simple blue hoodie, with curly black hair hanging on his forehead.Even though he grew up in an orphanage in Gotham, he still looks optimistic and sunny. Probably only Xiao Qiao in this world can have the same kind of smile that can lighten up any gloom like him.
After being adopted, Billy still often went back to the orphanage where he stayed, told stories to the orphans, and bought toys for them with the pocket money he saved from food and frugality.
Therefore, he was the first to discover the anomalies in the orphanage - many children fell ill one after another for no reason.He then ran to the police station to find Sergeant Gordon, hoping to attract the attention of the police; however, Sergeant Gordon was powerless because there was no evidence, but fortunately he found Batman for him.
"Another child got pneumonia today." Billy looked worried and reported the latest situation to Batman. from time to time; after that, it began to gradually spread throughout the orphanage."
"The staff of the orphanage are still not infected," Batman added to Billy's information, "Robin and I have analyzed the food in the orphanage and ruled out the possibility of poisoning."
"The children who have been sick recently have been quarantined. But it still doesn't work." Billy's old smile disappeared.
Of all the clues known so far, the only one that could attract attention was a terrible black handprint that Billy had found on the floor.
In fact, the solid black, burnt-in-the-floor handprint was so horrific that it took on a decorative quality that Dick had to wonder if it was some child's prank.
"The last child's room, take us there," Dick followed Billy up the stairs of the orphanage, and planned to contact Zatanna or Constantine this time when he returned to the manor. Unexplainable facts, we can only see if they are related to magic related.
Maybe Harley should really go back to school and learn magic?But it's too utilitarian to think so, Dick scolded himself, Halle's choice should be made by herself.
The three of them sneaked in silently through the back door of the orphanage. In the orphanage at night, there were not many active people, especially during the period when there was a risk of infectious diseases; so when Dick and Harry turned a corner , when he saw two sneaky figures not far away, he immediately chased after them decisively.
These extremely suspicious two people are likely to be the culprits responsible for the spread of the disease.
After the other party heard the sound, they immediately began to hide, moving quickly, like a trained veteran.Dick had no choice but to throw out the bat dart and the mist bomb, and in the next second he heard a man yelling.
Dick threw one of them down, and Harry went to greet the other.
"Who are you!" Dick interrogated viciously as the bat dart touched the opponent's chin.
As the smoke cleared, Dick saw one of the shadows he had subdued, a young man with green eyes similar to Harley's.The young man coughed several times, and when he opened his eyes, he immediately showed a look of surprise.
"God... I actually met Batman! You didn't disappear?" His eyes were shining, and he wasn't worried about his situation at all.
"Your weight can crush people, man, are you really so heavy or the weight of the equipment? It's time to lose weight." The man put down the flashlight and pistol/gun in his hand, and raised his hands, "Excuse me, we will follow You're on the same side, I promise. Do you think I look like a bad guy?"
Dick wanted to say that bad guys don't write their evil on their faces, but he still let go of the man, just because the other party had no threat for the time being.
The man got up and patted the invisible dust on the leather jacket, "I'm Dean Winchester, and Sam is over there,"
Later, he raised his chin and showed a smirk, "Batman? Really? Can you sign me?"
"No," Dick isn't Bruce, who wouldn't snark fans back, "Batman never signs."
"Good idea," Dean raised his thumb, "Keep it mysterious... Signatures don't drop in price. Just, can't sign even one?"
"No." Maybe Bruce's method would save time.
"Robin sign for me..." He turned his gaze to Harley, who was pressing Sam with a long stick, but the next second he saw her, his expression changed, "How did Robin become A little girl movie?"
The little girl, Harley, put away her long stick. She has long since learned not to argue about the question "Why is Robin a girl?" It's hard work!
"You still didn't say what you two do." Batman said coldly, without letting his guard down.
"We are hunters, hunting some...supernatural monsters." Dean shrugged and laughed at Sam who was just knocked down by a little girl.
"She appeared too suddenly!" The tall and tall Sam blushed a little, and the girl Robin was still Robin. How could Batman use her without much help?Dean should try it himself!
Dick narrowed his eyes, "So, do you know who is playing tricks here?"
"Correction, it's 'something', it's not human," Dean said, picking up his gun, "It's a Shtriga, rumored to be from Albania, you can think of it as a variant of a witch. Hmmm… …I forgot the twists and turns of the academic terms after that. In short, they cannot be killed by any weapon. Only by hitting them with blessed holy lead bullets while they are eating can this monster be dealt with once and for all. .”
As soon as Dick heard Dean say the name Shtriga, he turned on the holographic screen on his forearm and searched for relevant information.
Much the same as what Dean said, the material adds an explanation for why it targets children—they feed on some kind of "spiritual energy" (or "life energy") that science can't explain.While their prey can be anyone of any age, the Shtriga prefer children because of their greater "spiritual energy". *Why should you be a vegetarian when you have a meat-eating feast?
"So, your job as 'hunters' is to kill these things?" Dick really met "hunters" for the first time.
"Basically, we have a wide range of hunting. Shtriga is annoying, but it's not hard to kill. Just leave it to us." Dean compared his pistol/gun, "You don't have a special weapon, unless your bat The darts are lead, and blessed by unstained priests."
"No," Dick shook his head. "The lives of the children are at stake. I must act together with you."
Dean and Sam look at each other, and Sam shrugs, so Dean rubs his hands together, "Working with Batman? Cool!"
Harley had no objection, she listened to Brother Dick's arrangement, it's just... This Shtriga sounds like a ghost story.On the other hand, Billy seemed lost in thought after listening to Dean's explanation.
"Scared?" Harry elbowed him, "It's okay, Batman and Robin are here!"
Sam then analyzed for everyone, "Your Gotham is very cunning and only attacks orphanages. I found out that every 15 to 20 years, children in a certain orphanage will get sick and die slowly. Shtriga After sucking the children's energy, it will make them sleepy and reduce their immunity, so it manifests as pneumonia. Only by killing it can the children recover. So we must hurry."
"And Shtriga can act in human form, so it's very confusing." Sam added.
The regularities of these illnesses that Sam spoke of were also found by Dick, but they were treated as some incurable contagious disease.
"Or, it's not cunning, but the orphanage is the most convenient for it." Dick called up all the staff records of several orphanages over the past few decades, and quickly performed facial cross-identification.
"If, as you said, it can only be killed when it's eating, how can you guarantee that such a timing will happen?" Billy asked the question that Harry was also thinking about.
"It's not easy to catch, last time it was just a little boy as bait." Seeing Batman looking up at him, Dean spread his hands, "Why, the situation was urgent, this was the fastest way, and he was willing to My brother stood up."
"Don't worry, I can't find the bait this time. Your Gotham one is not picky. I don't know who its next target will be."
Dean's words made everyone look at each other in blank dismay. It was a bit frustrating that they knew what they were dealing with but couldn't take immediate measures.
At this time, Snape, who had been hiding in the rear, shook his head helplessly, lifted the Disillusionment Curse, cleared his throat, "I'm interrupting the adventures of the heroes, with all due respect, it's not as complicated as you think."
The sudden appearance of Snape startled everyone, and Dean even raised his gun.
"You've been following me?" Harry exclaimed, a little... feeling invaded.
"It should be said that it's a good thing I'm following you," Snape said, "That, what you call 'Shtriga', is not that hard to kill for someone who is capable, and there is no need to wait for someone who is eating opportunity."
Dean stared suspiciously at the black-haired man who suddenly appeared, wondering if this was also some mysterious monster that needed to be killed by hunters, "Then what do you think should be done?"
"I need to act alone, you all get out," Snape looked around coldly, "but Robin can stay."
The author has something to say:
*Sorry for the misoperation at the beginning... Originally, this chapter was only intended to write about the first meeting with Dean Sam, but the time was tight and I was handicapped, so I copied an extra section of the outline from the document... Then the word count of chapter v is being sent out After that, I can’t reduce it, so I can only code wildly, and also code out the outline after accidentally pasting it... _(:з」∠)_
I am very sorry for letting everyone see the half-finished product... The storm is crying...
I'm so ashamed... I don't even dare to read the comments... 嘤嘤(╥╯^╰╥)
*Shriga's description is quoted from Baidu Encyclopedia.I fiddled with the spn before, and this chapter came out... This Albanian child-sucking monster is from the 18th episode of the first season.
*It is assumed here that Billy has not lost his horse against Zhenglian.
* Shazam (aka Billy) was 8 years old when Harley rescued her when she was 12 years old, now she is 15 years old, and the age setting of next year's Shazam movie is connected (probably... because the young actor selected is 15 years old )
