Arkham Asylum sounds like a treatment facility.This is not the case, this building in one of Gotham's worst slums was once the place where Gotham City government held dangerous psychopathic criminals.More than ten years ago, after the economic turmoil in Gotham, there were many abnormal criminals in the city, most of them had symptoms of schizophrenia, and it was difficult to be convicted by law, but the police couldn't just put them back into society, so Arkham Asylum once became a place for these scum.Bruce's father, Thomas.
Wayne was a well-known surgeon in Gotham, and he occasionally went to Arkham Asylum to counsel criminals, while his wife, Martha.
Wayne is Thomas's best assistant.Until they are killed, they will often come to work in Arkham Asylum.All in all, the dilapidated, burned and collapsed building in front of Merlin's eyes was definitely a place of mixed senses for his good friend Bruce.For Merlin, the dilapidated building in front of him is also a complicated place.It didn't take him long to discover a tunnel leading to the underground in the ruins of Arkham Asylum, and judging by the traces left around the tunnel, it was likely that it existed before Arkham Asylum was established.In other words, the city government decided to build this madhouse, perhaps to hide some secrets that have been in the darkness of Gotham City."
It must have something to do with the Owl Court."
Merlin walked silently in the spiraling tunnel leading to the underground, and he could feel the cold aura attached to the tunnel in front of him without his vision, like a haunted underground fortress, such a place would always be prohibitive in the dark night.And on the stone walls on either side of the downward tunnel, those delicate and eerie owl sculptures seem to prove Merlin's guess."
Dick, how are you doing over there?"
Merlin had a communicator in his ear, and he asked as he walked down."
Call me Grayson, thanks."
In the darkness of the night, the original Robin Grayson, dressed in his blue combat uniform, looked at the quiet neighborhood around Arkham Asylum, tucked the weapon in his hand to his waist, and whispered, "It's quiet here, and it doesn't look like there's anyone else." ”"What about the two boys?"
Merlin asked, "Are they honest?"
”"It's fine."
Grayson looked left and right, and he replied, "I separated them in two areas, and as long as they didn't meet, they would be able to do a good job of monitoring." ”"Well, be wary."
Merlin said, "The attack of that elusive owl court will come at any moment. ”"Hmm."
Grayson's side responded, and Merlin hung up the communication and continued underground.The tunnel in front of him was beyond imagination, and in Merlin's senses, he seemed to have come to a position nearly 100 meters underground, and the temperature around him dropped more and more violently, like a natural cold cellar."
If it's purely for secrecy, there's no need to dig so deep."
Merlin touched the cold rock sculpture in his hand, he looked at the stone door at the end of the tunnel, and said, "This is either a shelter or, just to store something."
Well...
Something that cannot be stored at room temperature. ”His fingers were on the hilt of the silver sword behind his back, and his other hand hung low to his side.In the face of an unknown secret organization that has been hidden for more than 200 years, the necessary vigilance should be done.Beneath the exterior of Gotham, there is a strange atmosphere everywhere, and this is not a normal city at all."
I don't know how Bruce survived."
Merlin was hidden in the shadows, he hurried into the tunnel in front of him, a hundred meters underground, there was no light source at all, but the darkness could not block his vision, around the silent hall in front of him, Merlin saw owl sculptures placed like works of art, each with a different form.And compared to normal owls, the sculptures around Merlin look evil, full of a strange feeling in the dark."
My badge is vibrating, there's magic around here."
As soon as he stepped out of the hall, the wolf's head pendant hanging from Merlin's neck vibrated strangely, the white wolf left behind to alert his new owner to the dangers associated with magic nearby."
Interesting."
Merlin pulled out the silver sword Vlad from behind his back, and he stood still, looking around.Although he was in seclusion, his arrival seemed to touch some invisible magic switch, and just now, the closed eyes of those owl statues all opened at this moment.The strange temperament of those vivid stone carvings at this moment is even stronger, if ordinary people see these sneaky owl stone statues in the dark night, they will definitely be frightened crazy on the spot."
Pretending to be a ghost is a means that you can't get on the table."
Merlin reached out and tapped on the sapphire pendant on his chest, and Carol's breathing mask quickly covered his face, the air in this tunnel smelled fine, but Merlin seriously suspected that the air here must contain some kind of neurotoxin, and with the owl stone carvings that can scare people to death, it will definitely make the intruder frightened.At the moment when the breathing mask injected pure oxygen into Merlin's nostrils and mouth, in the darkness of the hall, eight figures wearing leather armor and holding weapons appeared around Merlin like the most brilliant ninja.They all looked like normal people, but the armor on their bodies was strange.Those ancient and delicate armor are full of patterns and carvings related to owls, and on the heads of these 8 attackers, there are also full-covered helmets that look like owls, their hand armor looks like it is made of metal, and the finger covers of those hand armor are more like sharp sharp cones, which can disembowel ordinary people with just a light grasp.And under the black lenses of the owl helmet, even the gaze of these warriors was as eerie as the air around them.In the vision of the Vision, the life activities of these samurai are very strange.Merlin could feel the life force in their bodies, but it was not at all as active as a normal person, but had a feeling of stagnation like ice water.Their movements are also very strange, and they do not have the "soft" feeling of ordinary people's actions, on the contrary, they are like marionettes, and they are like robots manipulated by some kind of program, and in a slightly stiff posture, they pull out the war knives behind their backs with a brush.But judging from the way they hold their knives, these guys should be warriors who are good at fighting."
Huh" Merlin held the silver sword in front of him horizontally, he looked at the indifferent and strange owl warriors around him, he stretched out his left hand and hooked them.It's like a provocation.In the next moment, 8 warriors in the darkness pounced on Merlin at the same time, and their weapons blocked all of Merlin's dodging space from all sides at this moment, as if they were going to completely kill the invaders in the first wave of attacks.Merlin shook his head at the slashing blades.He didn't dodge it, and the silver sword in his hand let out a buzzing sound, and in the injection of magic power, the black mist wrapped around the blade made the blade of the silver sword become scorching.Sword Dance!
Merlin took out the highest level of swordsmanship he had ever mastered, and with the flip of his wrist, the silver sword danced like a dangerous windmill around his body, clanging weapons like a merry blacksmith striking iron.Three swords slashed into Merlin's body from behind, but the light, as if slicing into the air, meant that these owl warriors did not hurt Merlin at all.On the other hand, at the moment when Merlin's first wave of sword dance was recruited, the four samurai in front of him were already covered in bruises, and the two unlucky ones were even cut off on the spot by the sword dance with an astonishing attack speed.They should have just died.No matter how tough a samurai is, having his head cut off means death.But no!
Under Merlin's slightly surprised gaze, the two headless corpses that had fallen to the ground, like the headless horsemen in a horror story, staggered to their feet, groped around for their heads, and after finding them, they roughly put their heads around their necks, as if they had completed regeneration.Damn it!
Those two guys' heads weren't theirs at all, and they put each other's heads upside down.But even so, they still regained the same mobility in the next moment.Merlin also noticed that there was no blood at all from the slashed wounds of the samurai, and instead there was something similar to black quicksand."
It turned out to be an alienated undead."
Merlin let the warriors around him wield their swords and slash his body frantically, he put away the silver sword without care, after knowing the true identity of these warriors, he understood that the slashing of the blade was meaningless for these undead who had long since died.He also finally understood why the Owl Court would excavate such a huge underground palace a hundred meters underground.They obviously wanted to better preserve these powerful undead minions, you know, even the most carefully handled corpses, at room temperature, will quickly decay, and the rotting flesh will make the undead's flexibility quickly decrease."
Try this."
Merlin's hands took out two milky white crystal bottles from his pockets, and his face was full of malice and smashed the crystal bottles to the ground, with the sound of crystal bottles cracking, the milky white liquid splashed in the darkness, and those scattered liquids spilled on the bodies of the owl warriors around them, and began to burn wildly like the fastest fire oil.Flame Holy Water, Merlin's titular mentor, the White Wolf, used in the Middle Ages to deal with the undead.In the burning of those scorching flames with magical power, these undead warriors were like dry wood thrown into the fire, they burned too fast, but in an instant, the negative energy in their bodies was ignited by this holy water of extreme positive energy, and began to burn from the inside.For ordinary people, even dark heroes like Bruce, these undead warriors are destined to be difficult to deal with, they are not afraid of bullets, they are not afraid of destruction, as long as the negative energy in their bodies is still there, they can continue to resurrect.In addition, these samurai were preserved in a special way, which made them even more combative.But unfortunately, what they encountered this time was a demon hunter who specializes in slaying demons and is not afraid of physical attacks at all."
I like to see you burn up."
Merlin stood in the burning flames, and the sparks caused by the ignition of negative energy did not look like ordinary flames, but like dancing fireworks, with a gorgeous feeling."
Dust to dust, dust to dust."
He took a step forward, and with a hook of his fingers, the sword that had fallen to the ground was held in Merlin's hand, and he shook his hand and pinned to the ground an owl warrior who was rolling on the ground trying to extinguish the flames, like a steel burner."
Go back to your graves, who are dead."
Merlin chanted a jumble of prayers and pinned the eight samurai on the ground into the darkness one by one, and the boiling silver-white flames lit up the gloomy hall.After a few moments, the silver-white flames dissipated little by little, and the dead who had been awakened in defiance of the laws of nature seemed to be liberated.Merlin faintly heard the air with vague voices of thanksgiving.He walked over to the swords, crouched down, and rummaged through the ashes left behind by the warriors.A few seconds later, Merlin twisted a strange piece of metal from the ashes in front of him with his black-gloved fingers.It was the size of a finger, and it was soft like sterling silver, and it could change shape with a slight pinch, and because it was burned, the surface of the metal was covered with a layer of black ash, but that couldn't hide the strange nature of the metal.Merlin could feel that the metal implanted in the bodies of those warriors contained a strange life force, and it was these metals that infused the dead with a cursed life force, allowing them to maintain a clear sense of battle and a small amount of sanity after death, so that these carefully preserved corpses could play a subtle and dangerous cooperation."
What is this?"
Merlin curiously played with the metal in his hand, he said, "It looks precious...", he looked back at the seven piles of ashes behind him, and after a moment, the eight pieces of metal were held in the palm of Merlin's hand, and in the movement of his fingers, the eight pieces of metal were quickly pinched into a single piece.And the stagnant life energy contained in it is also fused together without hindrance."
Interesting."
Merlin put the metal in his magic pocket, and he crossed the edge of the hall, ready to continue his search inside, and at that moment, in the communicator, Damien's voice rang out."
Merlin, we're under attack, and there's a group of 'talons' attacking us.We can't kill them, do you have any suggestions?

”"With fire."
Merlin replied, "Or bombs, the flames that burn violently can restrain them, but they are still a threat until they are burned to ashes, so don't be merciful." ”"Also, when they're killed, they'll leave behind some cursed metal, collect it, but don't mess with it...
There's a curse attached to that metal that only a wizard like me can lift...""
I mean, let the other two Robins take care of their own hands, and you supervise them
