Opened a martial arts school, and his eldest disciple Batman

Chapter 249 Bureau
Pandora didn't quite understand the awkward relationship between the father and son. After hearing the question from Batman, her little follower, she smiled bitterly and shook her head: "No... that's just a rumor among the people, and it's far from the truth."

"Or... this story itself represents 'hope', but no matter what, hope does not exist in Pandora's Box."

Pandora slowly raised the magic box with the number '3' written on it and said solemnly: "This magic box contains a terrible magical power. Once it is controlled by evil people, it will immediately bring extreme disasters to the whole world... just like when I opened the magic box out of stupidity."

Damian raised his hand again to interrupt, "Wait, if you are Pandora, then you must be at least several thousand years old. Is immortality also given to you by the magic box?"

Pandora shook her head and said with a slightly sad look in her eyes: "No... this is... a punishment."

"I was punished by the ancient wizards. I must forever watch the suffering this world endures due to my stupid behavior. They cursed me to live forever with sin."

"At the same time, I am also responsible for guarding Pandora's Box to ensure that no second fool opens it. Therefore, I have been living in a place where few people have been for thousands of years."

Du Mu was speechless.

Curse you to eternal life, right?

I wonder how many people in the world would crave for such a curse.

Du Mu didn't believe that the group of wizards who punished Pandora had no selfish motives.

However, Du Mu had read Pandora's experience and found that she was indeed in repentance and regret for her actions.

In this way, the torture she had endured over the past few thousand years was indeed greater than death.

"In that case, you should continue to protect this box. After all, you have protected it very well for thousands of years. Why did you come here today?"

Batman asked calmly.

It's not that he doesn't believe this story... After all, as a disciple of Lord Du Mu, Batman can be said to be well-informed.

Anything supernatural can't cause much of a stir in Batman's heart today.

Pandora took a deep breath, looked at Batman steadily, and said carefully: "Because I have a premonition that I will fail in my duty and someone will take away Pandora's Box from me."

"Something seems to have happened in the wizarding world recently... Many wizards have died for no apparent reason."

Batman's eyes narrowed slightly.

Murder on the magic side?

This actually piqued Batman's interest a little.

After all, Gotham is now very peaceful. Although it does not have a crime rate of zero, it can be considered one of the model cities.

Well, the model city of Gotham...it sounds a bit weird, but it's the truth.

After all, today's Batman can no longer be said to be an ordinary mortal.

Gotham has been well managed by Batman, or Bruce Wayne, in the past few years.

"I live in seclusion, so I don't know the details, but in short, it caused panic in the wizarding world."

"Some magicians choose to stay away from the world and hide in the nests they built. Some magicians are confident that they have enough strength to protect themselves and carefully prepare to face the challenge of the person behind the scenes. And some magicians... they feel that they are not strong enough to deal with this long and mysterious crisis alone."

Batman gets it almost instantly.

He said calmly, "So, those guys who are about to go crazy in fear choose to take the risk and try to take away your Pandora's Box to gain power to deal with the crisis later?"

Pandora nodded: "That's right."

"And you... want me to take over Pandora's Box and protect it from those wizards with bad intentions?"

Batman reveals Pandora's purpose.

Pandora slightly tightened the magic box in her hand and nodded.

She looked a little nervous, staring at Batman, and said earnestly: "No matter... no matter how curious you are, I just want to beg you, don't try to open Pandora's box, there is no hope inside."

"According to the wizard's prophecy, only those with the best in their hearts can completely resist the erosion of the magic box and eliminate the evil inside."

"But I have never met such a person... I even doubt that such a person exists in this world."

Batman shook his head slightly, "Maybe."

He has been through countless worlds, but he has never seen a so-called "person with the best heart".

Of course there are good people, and there are many of them. But everyone has a little bit of dark side in their character.

This is not surprising. As long as the so-called dark side is not concentrated enough and is not followed completely, then emotions such as selfishness and greed are essentially a self-protection mechanism.

You can't expect someone to think about others wholeheartedly, and even donate all their food to hungry children in Africa even if they don't have a single bite to eat. Such a person will only die soon.

The most selfish person is the one who expects others to be completely selfish.

Therefore, the so-called "perfect person" is a logically incorrect false proposition in Batman's eyes.

Du Mu touched his chin.

A very kind person?
It sounds like a name tailor-made for Superman.

It’s a pity that the Superman of this universe has been killed by Zod.

However, Du Mu was also convinced that the information Pandora knew was completely wrong.

The Pandora's Box in her hand does not recognize the so-called "goodness" or "evil". It will only madly absorb the power of the individual who tries to open it.

When Du Mu thought of this, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Wait… absorbing power, 'the most virtuous person'?
Combined with the fact that Pandora's Box was essentially a portal, Du Mu seemed to understand what was going on after adding several pieces of information together.

This is a game...but the person who sets it up is not sure about the specific situation in the other universe.

But he certainly knows that superhumans exist in most multiverses.

And most superheroes are just big, kind guys.

The fundamental purpose of the person who created Pandora's Box was to hope that "Superman" would open the box in order to absorb Superman's power and open the portal.

In this case, this box must have been thrown into more than one universe.

This must be done by casting a wide net and trying one's luck in finding a universe with supermen.

Of course, the ultimate goal may not be Superman. It’s just that they only know that Superman is the most active individual in the multiverse and has the most energy in his body. They use the other party’s characteristics to open the door to the universe so as to invade the other party’s universe.

Well, if the person who made Pandora's Box really has the fighting power to crush Superman, then this is a good idea.

But if he is no match for Superman, then he is just an iron clown, and none of the clowns in Gotham can match his clown.

In any case, this aroused Du Mu's curiosity.

He began to wonder what kind of existence or world was on the other side of the portal.

After a brief thought, Batman said, "I can keep this Pandora's Box for you."

This is really Batman's character.

It would have been fine if he didn't know about it before, but now that he knew that Pandora's Box might contain magical power that could change the world, his first thought would definitely be to keep it for himself. Not to mention that someone took the initiative to come to him and give it to him.

There is no possibility that Batman will allow such an uncertain danger to fall into the open.

Pandora finally breathed a sigh of relief.

When she placed Pandora's Box in Batman's hands, it was like a mountain of burden had been lifted off her shoulders.

Her eyes suddenly became moist and she quickly wiped them with the back of her hand.

"I'm sorry... I, I just suddenly feel so relieved. I'm so sorry for letting you bear such a heavy burden."

"But you completely changed Gotham, turning it from a city full of crime into what it is today. It was after hearing about your deeds that I immediately thought that apart from you, there might be no one else who could help me."

"I have no one else to turn to for help... The people I know are either unreliable or died early... Haha, maybe there is a connection between the two."

After Pandora finished speaking, she realized that what she meant was that reliable people died early, and she quickly covered her mouth.

Batman doesn't care about these details.

He looked closely at Pandora's Box.

But the more he looked at him, the more doubtful his eyes became.

Didn’t Pandora say… that this thing contains powerful evil magic?

And this thing appeared thousands of years ago.

But the more Batman looked at it, the more he felt that... this thing looked like a technological creation.

Is Pandora lying?

Batman had used lie detection on himself when they met, enhanced his hearing, and comprehensively tested the authenticity of Pandora's words from both magical and physical levels.

At least from her words, Pandora acknowledged the message of her words and felt that she was telling the truth.

At the same time, Batman also used magic to secretly detect Pandora's age, and there was indeed no deviation from the historical information she described.

This magic of detecting age is naturally what Batman uses when he investigates cases. Whether it is for suspects, victims, or even murder weapons, it can be 100% accurate.

Most of the magic Batman learned was for gathering intelligence, a small part was for auxiliary functions, and he knew very little real offensive magic.

After all, if you need firepower, just use Brainiac's energy cannon. The current Batcave has firepower that can directly blow through the moon. There is really no need to study and learn about attack power.

Batman stroked his chin, narrowed his eyes, and fell into thought.

Or, Pandora's magical attainments were far superior to his own, and had completely blinded his senses, making him unaware.

Or maybe Pandora herself was fooled.

Batman also unleashed the magic of age detection on Pandora's Box.

Then he frowned deeply.

As soon as the magic came into contact with Pandora's Box, it was instantly absorbed by the box and was completely useless.

There is definitely something very strange about this box.

Damian on the side had his eyes full of curiosity, and his eagerness to try was about to burst out.

Batman was speechless.

He is not a child like Damian. The bigger the red button is, and the more he is forbidden to press it, the more he will press it.

This is simply the introduction to child psychology. No matter how curious Batman is, he has no intention of opening the box against Pandora's wishes.

After all...when faced with confusion, Batman knows who to turn to for help.

Pandora left.

Just as she had come, she put on her hood and disappeared into the streets.

Pandora was free, but her curse remained.

What awaits her is eternal life along with human history.

Perhaps only when humanity ends will evil completely disappear and Pandora's curse become ineffective.

It was not until Pandora left completely that Du Mu appeared beside Batman.

"Did you see anything?"

Du Mu asked.

Damian was like a cat that saw a cucumber behind him. He jumped up and pointed at Du Mu, his body tense. "Who are you? When did you show up?"

Batman and Du Mu ignored the nervous Damian.

Batman was slightly startled when he saw Du Mu's appearance, and then smiled: "Master, long time no see."

Well, it's rare to see Batman smiling while wearing a bat mask.

Batman didn't ask Du Mu where he had been during this period of time, or why the space door in the Batcave was ineffective again.

After all, Du Mu can travel through the multiverse. He can go anywhere and at any time. It is normal for a dragon to be seen but not found. As a disciple, there is no need for him to ask questions and know his master's itinerary clearly.

Batman looked at Pandora's Box in his hand, pondered for a moment, and replied: "Pandora is telling the truth."

Du Mu nodded.

Batman also felt relieved.

Du Mu's approval was like an absolute standard of judgment, enough to dispel all of Batman's hesitations.

Since what Pandora said was indeed the truth, then the problem lies with the Pandora's Box in her hand.

"This magic box can absorb magic power... This makes it look like a magical creation. But based on my observation, its structure also looks like a technological product."

Du Mu smiled and nodded again.

He is worthy of being my eldest disciple.

It is possible to grasp every key detail of things immediately in a short period of time.

Batman then shook his head and said, "But for more, I don't have the equipment right now, so I can't tell. Maybe I have to wait until we get back to the Batcave and use the central computer to analyze it."

Du Mu said: "That's pretty good. It seems that your cultivation has not been wasted during this period. The magic you cast before was silent and invisible. You have reached the pinnacle of concealment."

"Ah? Batman just performed magic? No, when did you learn magic?" Damian looked confused.

This kid actually knows to call his father Batman when he's outside.

But Batman does seem to be his character. They have been together for such a long time, but even the people around him don’t know that Batman is now an outstanding magician.
