Chapter 78 Night Owl Suit
"Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?"

Harry was extremely shocked.

Du Mu knew this. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is a British novel. The protagonist seems to be able to turn into an extremely powerful monster by drinking medicine, which is indeed similar to the Hulk.

"It's not the Doctor! It's the Hulk!"

Hulk said dissatisfiedly.

He didn't mind admitting his mistakes, but he hated the title of 'Doctor'.

Du Mu smiled and patted Hulk's arm, then said to Harry, "Don't be afraid, Harry, his name is Hulk, and he won't hurt you when he's not angry."

Hulk didn't say anything this time, but his expression was still not good.

He seemed to want to defend himself, saying that even if he was angry, he would not hurt the other person, but he also felt that such an explanation was very weak.

In the end, he put on a sullen face, crossed his arms over his chest, said nothing, and pretended to be an expert.

But before that, he had carefully placed Banner's glasses on the roof of the van next to him.

"Hulk, this is Harry, he's considered my...apprentice?"

Just as Du Mu was introducing the two people, there was a knock on the door behind him.

Du Mu waved his hand, and the door of the martial arts hall opened automatically, and Zhao Yuanhai walked in.

When he saw Hulk, he almost jumped up in shock: "Oh my god! Monster!"

When Hulk heard this, his expression suddenly became even more grumpy, and he began to tap the ground with his toes, making the floor tiles break into even more pieces with the clattering sound.

Du Mu smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, don't panic. This warrior is also one of my disciples... Well, you can just regard him as a practitioner of the lineage of the Giant Spirit God."

The lineage of the giant spirit?
Then isn’t the cultivation of immortality magic?

Zhao Yuanhai was immediately filled with awe.

Although he had only heard of the god Ju Ling in Journey to the West, he was still one of the most famous characters among the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals. How could he be an ordinary person who could fight with Sun Wukong?
And this person actually practiced the immortal method of the Giant Spirit God, and improved himself to be so different from ordinary people. He is indeed an immortal.

So Zhao Yuanhai hurriedly said respectfully: "Please forgive me, Your Excellency. I am a rough man and I failed to see the Taoist spirit and immortality of the Taoist master. I am really short-sighted. I hope the Taoist master will forgive me."

Hulk was stunned when he heard this.

This was the first time someone complimented me. Although I didn’t quite understand what he said, I could feel the emotions in the other person’s words and I felt very happy about it.

Du Mu discovered that Hulk could actually understand Chinese... But when he thought about it carefully, Hulk had never even learned English. It seemed that if Banner could understand it, Hulk could too.

Looking at it this way, they are actually just different mental states of the same person.

"Okay, Brother Hulk is not a person who likes to throw tantrums. Brother Zhao, please tell us what you have discovered this time."

Zhao Yuanhai immediately became serious and clasped his fists, saying, "Master, a ship came from Japan today. Brother Cao at the dock thought it was pirates, but it turned out to be a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people, with only one young man in tattered clothes."

"But they couldn't speak Mandarin, and we didn't understand Japanese, so in the end it was the Western barbarians who acted as translators, and we were able to get the questions out."

"So they are here to escape. I heard that their hometown has been occupied by the red barbarians from Lianyungang. They told us to be careful of the red barbarians."

Du Mu frowned. Since its founding, the Shun Dynasty had made sea transportation a national policy and opened up many trade routes.

Therefore, unlike the Qing Dynasty, which was closed to the outside world, the Dashun had very close exchanges with surrounding countries, and sent troops to solve the problem of Japanese pirates at the beginning of the founding of the country...

At least on the surface, the Japanese pirates, consisting of ronin and domestic salt smugglers, were killed one after another, and there are indeed very few of them that have shown up in the past decade or so.

At that time, the entire East Japan almost became a vassal state of Dashun, and trade exchanges were very frequent. Especially as a transit point for ocean trade, its commercial status was increasing day by day.

However, the Shun Dynasty later had several incompetent emperors, which led to the decline of the national strength of the Shun Dynasty. Japan gradually became alienated again, and the tribute it paid became less and less every year.

Even if the two sides could pass through the country by boat, the journey was indeed far away in ancient times. It was okay in prosperous times, but it is difficult to send troops to suppress it now. So they just pretended to be confused about the matter and left it vague without any result.

Fortunately, Japan did not dare to openly cut off Shun Dynasty's ocean trade, even if it obeyed orders instead of propaganda. On the contrary, it made a fortune by relying on its geographical advantages.

So when Zhao Yuanhai talked about the Japanese, there was mockery and confusion in his tone, but no resentment.

"Master, do you think this was translated deliberately by Xiyi?"

"I heard that these black-haired and red-haired people have a deep blood feud. It was because the red barbarians occupied the foreign merchant ships in Lianyungang and drove out the western barbarians that they came to Kowloon Bay to settle down."

Du Mu shook his head: "It's not like the Western barbarians are the only ones who can speak Japanese. They can just ask anyone and expose the truth. Those cautious Western barbarians won't do that."

Zhao Yuanhai hesitated and said, "Then we..."

Du Mu was amused when he saw Zhao Yuanhai's expression: "What do you mean by 'we'? Brother Zhao, the Japanese were beaten by the Red Barbarians. Is this something you and I should care about?" Zhao Yuanhai slapped his forehead and said self-deprecatingly: "Hey, you said I was really wrong. This kind of thing is something that the emperor and the county magistrate should worry about. What does it have to do with us, the people of Jianghu? How can we have the time to worry about it?"

After saying this, he clasped his fists with Du Mu again and made a gesture to leave.

Du Mu asked him to stay for dinner, but Zhao Yuanhai just waved his hand, indicating that his wife had left some food for him.

Du Mu did not force him. In fact, he had invited Zhao Yuanhai and a few other people to eat in the backyard before, but the food was so good that he only ate there once and never dared to come again.

On the one hand, he didn't want Du Mu to spend money, and on the other hand, he didn't want to take up the food for the disabled children.

It is because of their character that even though Du Mu is now a highly powerful warrior, he still treats them as brothers and greets them with a smile.

This is also mutual. In the eyes of Zhao Yuanhai and others, Du Mu's righteous act is truly admirable, so even if they do not rely on him for food, they will inform him of any news as soon as possible.

It was a rare peaceful day today. Apart from Hulk causing a commotion in the backyard and being surrounded by a group of children climbing up and down and playing after a brief familiarity, there was no other trouble.

Du Mu also took a rare nap. When he woke up, Banner had changed back to normal and started teaching the students.

It was just that the students were chattering, looking at the teacher with shining eyes, and asking questions all about Hulk, which made Banner really helpless.

At night, Du Mu went to Gotham again.

He was not very reassured about Bruce's subsequent mental state.

As soon as he appeared in the Batcave, he immediately saw Dick Grayson lying quietly on the hospital bed.

Since Dick is here... Du Mu shifted his gaze and looked at the figure sitting in front of the central computer.

Sure enough, Bruce was still wearing the broken mask of Nite Owl.

"What's wrong? Didn't you put the child in the freezer to hibernate?"

Du Mu walked behind Bruce and asked.

Bruce was not surprised to hear this. He turned around and explained, "Dick's transformation was only halfway done. There is only amber gold in his body, but no impure Lazarus water. Therefore, the hibernation effect is very poor, and he is in great pain. It also causes great damage to his body."

Du Mu nodded to show that he understood.

But when he looked at Bruce, he couldn't help but sigh at the huge difference between the Night Owl Mask and the Bat Mask.

Bruce, wearing a bat mask, looks like he is angry all the time. This obvious emotional tension can really intimidate criminals with weak wills.

But for those high-level criminals, it means nothing.

At this moment, the Night Owl mask completely concealed any emotion of Bruce, and the whole person seemed like a cold and indifferent machine.

In a corner of the central computer screen, a set of unusual combat uniform designs was displayed.

The eyes have an eagle owl-like design, extending from the silhouette of the head like two sharp eyebrows or ears. The peephole is completely based on the night owl mask worn now, but it is a perfect circle like a real owl eye.

The cloak behind him was pleated, making it look like a bunch of extremely long feathers overlapping each other, or like a bunch of wide and sharp soft swords hanging naturally.

Compared to the Nite Owl armor worn by Lincoln March before, this one is more like the Nite Owl costume of Crime Syndicate in the previous life animation.

Du Mu said with a complicated expression: "So... are you really going to wear this uniform in the future? Are you really going to become a Night Owl?"

"Do not."

Bruce denied.

"It is just a normal uniform that I will be wearing while I infiltrate and investigate as many Court of Owls circles as I can."

"This is a huge financial circle, a club for the upper class to trade money and power. It is not limited to Gotham, but can be found all over the world."

"And this battle suit is specially used to deal with them."

Du Mu looked at the design drawing on the computer.

Well... compared to the bat mask, for those who are good at finding loopholes in other people's emotions to make profits, the cold appearance of the night owl mask without revealing a trace of emotion is indeed more terrifying.
