The time spent in the third week has exceeded the second week.
Bruce guessed that it was because Yuna was found by him first and did not die. The anchor point of this spiritual world did not disappear, so it could continue to operate like this.
He had almost avoided those ghosts, but unexpectedly came to another place that gave him a very bad feeling.
Yuna, who had just finished dealing with a few ghosts, raised her eyebrows. Sure enough, this was a false space with boundaries derived from Charles's ability and her past memories and fantasies. It was basically a closed loop, and it would still be possible to go around in circles. Arrive at important locations.
She would never forget this building. After all, it was the ghost king's mansion and the place where she had been imprisoned for an unknown length of time.
So is the key to breaking this nightmare set by Charles also here?
If he simply killed the Ghost King simply and roughly, he might have to do it again.
Yuna has always been aware of her psychological problems, but it is precisely because she is so aware that it is difficult to solve them.
She also never likes to analyze her heart carefully to herself or others.
This can make her feel confused and insecure.
But... she didn't hate their behavior of caring about her and trying to hold her back.
"Charles, Charles, you and Tony have really prepared a great gift for me."
Yuna glanced at Bruce, who was deep in thought, and decided to let nature take its course, wanting to see what tricks the world was playing. Charles didn't have a deep understanding of her nightmare, so he was only responsible for assisting and constructing it. The real core was probably herself.
If she showed strong resistance, the world would fall apart - Charles was tending to her emotions, because everything that was about to happen meant potentially opening up her scars in front of others.
Naturally, Charles and Tony can see the entire plot of the spiritual world, but they just don't know how to calculate the timeline in their consciousness.
She stepped through the door.
Bruce obviously thought the same as her, thinking that this place was a must go, so he had to be more vigilant to protect the girl in his arms, and walked in step by step.
Even though Yuna in the spiritual world has no physical body now, she still has magic around her, not to mention the looming divine power to defeat demons, monsters, filthy ghosts and ghosts. Anyway, now that man can't come back, she can't see it but satisfy her curiosity.
Just as she thought, the places she had been to and had impressions of were all very real, but the places she had never been in contact with seemed particularly rough and deserted, as if they had been forced together for the sake of harmony and completeness.
She saw Bruce leading the girl into the house and followed him.
Ever since she stepped into this mansion, the little girl had a premonition of danger and started frantically calling the police. There are also several cannibal ghosts hiding in the mansion that are not controlled by the ghost king. Their unbridled malice can be completely destroyed. Little Yuna knew it.
If Bruce didn't have a way to hide their aura, I might not be having an easy time now.
Little Yuna had an expressionless face, already knowing that the world here would not be easy, but for her, the worst outcome was death.
When the number of deaths increases, people will involuntarily lose their awe and sense of reality for life.
After all, no one had ever protected her when she was dying, and in these worlds, no one cared whether she was alive or not.
"What are you thinking about?" Bruce's melodious voice sounded. In the empty and silent house, he deliberately lowered his voice: "Seeing that I have gone to such great lengths to save you, please cooperate with me a little, eh? At least don't get distracted, right?"
"There's no need to adjust the atmosphere, I'm not that fragile." Xiao Yuna said expressionlessly.
And she wasn't distracted, she was thinking!
The man seemed to be able to read minds: "Well, the kid is thinking."
Little Yuna: "..."
Little Yuna's eyes were dead.
There was not much time, and Bruce quickly completed a brief investigation of the important locations, and the vague sights and sounds that he had noticed disappeared. Whenever the familiar eyes disappeared, there was a smelly breath that completely dissipated.
Bruce pretended not to notice at all, thinking about how to get through this scene.
This should be Nana's nightmare, so there are only two results if you want to escape: first, achieve the original ending, that is, Yuna's death, but time is looping; second, kill the source of her nightmare, that is, the black-haired and red-eyed man ——
"Ghost King Wuhan." Yuna said softly.
Bruce paused.
Yuna's face was expressionless: "You can really feel my presence, right? You can also hear me speaking."
Bruce's lips curved slightly and he remained silent.
There is a big gap in information between Yuna and Bruce. Bruce confirmed the existence of Yuna in his timeline, and became more certain that the previous two episodes were all due to the death of little Yuna, and that he, a person with an existence, rescued her. Untimely results.
Yuna: "..."
I can totally see what my father is thinking.
She couldn't take off her vest, so she openly watched Bruce's trap with little Yuna. The Bat family has always known how to be flexible in battles. He has eliminated countless villains who overestimated their capabilities through environmental killing alone, and he has also laid out a series of traps to deceive people. At least Little Yuna has no expression on her face, but she is very serious in trying to steal. division.
"..." Yuna had the same expression as little Yuna, and slowly raised her hand to cover her eyes.
God, how could she feel like she was being persecuted.
"Seeking death!"
Yuna's eyes were solemn, but Bruce had already turned away and glanced at the ghost king who was not panicking at all, as if he was always calm and rational.
"Nana, don't look."
The man raised his eyes again, with a cold murderous intent in his eyes.
Yuna was stunned for a second, then understood what he was talking about.
She was silent for a moment, then leaned down and covered the girl's eyes with magic.
...Did Bruce just want to kill him?
He never kills people, even crazy ones like the Joker.
Oh, by the way, the Ghost King is not a human being. Yuna quickly smiled again and looked at "her" struggle with pleasure. The devil whispered: "Children cannot watch bloody and violent scenes."
Little Yuna: "???"
Little Yuna had questions on her head.
While coaxing herself, Yuna was distracted to watch the battle between Batman and the cannibal. The cannibal also had subordinates, and Batman was not fully equipped. Even now, because of the huge gap in IQ and strategy, he did not fall behind or even fought. The ghost king was unable to rage and could not hold on for a long time.
Yuna observed for a moment, and then chose to assist her old father, telling him the ghost king's weaknesses, monitoring the surrounding situation for him, and casually shooting a cold arrow.
At the same time, she also let go of her childhood self.
Even if it was a fantasy, Bruce didn't want the little girl to be exposed to this at such a young age, but he obviously knew himself better, so Yuna saw that the time was almost up, picked up the Nichirin Sword and threw it into her arms.
"Do what you want to do." Yuna said softly.
The girl lowered her eyes and looked at the Nichirin Sword: "Break it, thank you."
Yuna: "..."
Hey, are you really treating her as a coolie?
Yuna cursed as she thoughtfully broke the blade off, leaving only a dagger-length piece.
The girl was satisfied. As soon as she put the knife in her sleeve, the incompetent and furious Ghost King stared at her, almost teleporting to her side, and clasped her fragile neck with his cold hands.
At the same time, the traps around him also imprisoned him, making him almost unable to move.
But...
"I can still twist her neck off."
He couldn't see the suppressed anger under Bruce's beautiful blue eyes, nor could he see the grown-up girl next to her looking like a corpse. expression.
Bruce said: "The Ghost King seems to be nothing more than that."
The moment Wu Mei's attention was diverted, a sharp broken knife pierced his neck, and the girl's body suddenly folded as if there were no bones, and she avoided it with great dexterity. Despite his counterattack, he still had enough energy left to send another knife into his heart.
Only then did he disappear into ashes.
The Ghost King cannot be defeated so easily, Yuna knows very well, but this is not the real world.
"Father, we should be able to leave -" Yuna didn't finish her words. She briefly lost her vision. From Bruce's perspective, it was her breath that disappeared.
"Yuna."
No one answered.
The man tensed his jaw and frowned tightly - he found that the scene had changed again - no, it should be said that it was like going back in time.
Isn't it over yet? But little Yuna has already killed the Ghost King with her own hands.
He heard voices coming.
"...That human smells so good, I really want to pounce on him and tear him apart..."
"You don't want your life...!"
"That's my prey."
Bruce's eyelids twitched, and he followed forward calmly, but It was discovered that at some point, he had also become an "outsider" that could not be perceived.
It seems that this is indeed the end, Bruce thought, but there is still something to tell him here.
He followed several ghosts to a spacious room, where an expressionless girl was sitting, as silent as a doll.
It was as if she knew there was no way she could escape, and there were no restrictions around her.
Several ghosts came in and looked at her, their saliva almost dripping on the floor. It took them a while to remember to give her the human food, and then took out the portion next to her without touching a bite.
"...Would it taste bad if I starve to death..."
He heard several ghosts discussing unscrupulously outside the door.
Bruce could barely contain his murderous intent.
The time in the fantasy world seemed to have been edited in a movie or TV show, flowing very quickly, but every time he saw it, it was a scene that made him want to break a person's ribs and throw him into the sea to feed the fish.
And then... comes the final scene.
The man's forced calmness aroused the redness in his eyes. He watched as the thin and young girl's limbs were finally torn off, and her heart was pierced by sharp claws. Before her consciousness dissipated, there was only a dead color in her eyes.
However, she was not relieved.
Seeing that she was still alive, the cannibal got interested and forced her not to have a human identity.
Bruce finally saw despair in those familiar blue eyes.
Deep hatred and despair.
///
Red Hood punched the wall and cursed.
He only knew that the little girl suddenly lost her will to live overnight, but at that time he had no idea why it made people want to kill so much.
No, kill ghosts.
Like self-abuse, in order to control herself, she forced herself to recall the pain of being transformed. After the scene of self-harm was played n times, the Red Hood felt hateful and distressed.
He held the pendant to calm down, adjusted himself, and opened the door in front of him.
He had a hunch that the truth behind this door was related to the scar on Nana's neck.
