Dick is lying on the chair, and Schiller is putting back Batman's newly removed teeth, which means he is really going to the dentist now.
But Schiller is not actually a dentist, but the structure of vampire teeth is also very unique, and even a real dentist may not be able to do anything about it.
As Schiller expected, there is a gland above the two fangs. According to X-ray photos, this gland is close to the snake's venom gland. After feeling the pressure of blood flowing into the cavity, it will release venom.
, which is the key to transforming humans into vampires.
Batman collected this venom in the hope of developing a reverse antidote, but there was a problem he couldn't explain - it was impossible to become a vampire only by being contaminated by this venom. The most important part of the first embrace is that the person being transformed must be willing
The earth sucks the blood of the transformed.
Batman speculated that this venom may react in some way with the blood of the transformer, thereby turning people into vampires. However, he also collected Dick's blood and found no abnormalities. Even judging from the blood test results alone,
You can't tell he's a vampire.
Batman custom-made two dentures for Dick, which were almost the same as his original ones, but because the gums no longer had support, Schiller's method was to fix the two dentures together with the surrounding teeth, which is what most dentists would do.
means.
Dick tried to resist, because everyone knows that most of the things Batman gives you are gifts from his weapons or monitors, which are not safe to carry on your body, let alone put in your mouth.
Dick wanted to get his fangs back, but unfortunately it was more difficult because both fangs were now in Schiller's hands.
While doing Dick's oral treatment, Schiller said: "I asked Batman for the most effective glue he has here. Your new teeth will be fixed with the teeth on both sides. If you really don't like it, then you
Be prepared to have four more teeth extracted."
Dick shivered.
Tooth extraction without anesthesia can be called torture. On the one hand, it is painful. Because it is too close to the brain, the physical reactions such as dizziness and nausea caused by long-term swelling and pain are even more painful.
"I was thinking about a question you said before." Batman said: "Someone's love for me disappeared, but it wasn't Dick."
"Because he is not the King of Vampires." Schiller said: "He is very special, but he is not the one who proposed to block the sun."
"Why do you think so?"
"Because he still cares about you, not the dry cookie you are looking for. I don't know if he is the only traitor in the Bat Family. If he is, a vampire king who is not under your nose may be more troublesome.
.”
Dick's eyes rolled around, as if he was about to say something, but Schiller's hand moved hard, causing him to curl up like a shrimp in pain.
"If nothing else, you are not the only person in this universe who has been invited by the fighting world. The impact of this game on this universe has already begun before you participated."
Batman suddenly turned his head to look at him, and then his eyes fell on Dick again.
Schiller took his hand back, and Dick lay on the couch watching Batman. Neither of them seemed to be planning to speak first.
"Did you receive the invitation?" Batman finally gave in, but his tone was not so friendly, and there was obviously the second half of the sentence that was left unsaid - "But you didn't tell me?"
Dick tilted his head and didn't want to speak at all, but Schiller stretched out his hand again. In order to delay a little time, he had to say: "The day after you received the invitation, I received the invitation. I said
I wanted to talk to you, you said you were busy."
"When were you transformed?"
"After that, to be precise, after the pre-teaming, I have to thank this program for saving my life, otherwise I would have completely fallen into their trap, and the me you see now wouldn't be me.
."
Batman understood what he meant. Maybe Dick wanted to track down something at that time - he was still in Blüdhaven at that time, and Batman couldn't control him - but because he received the invitation and needed to go
While participating in the pre-team activities, he did not investigate the matter.
"After he came back, he encountered some trouble, and learned from the trouble that if he had gone there at that time, the situation might have become worse, but he still did not escape the trouble and was transformed into a vampire.
"
"Who transformed you?" Batman asked this question, but he knew that he might not get the answer, because if the evolution of this race was so crude, it would not be able to compete with humans today.
"I couldn't say it or even hint at it," Dick said. "His control over me was absolute."
"Absolutely?" Schiller suddenly said.
"Absolutely before you came." Dick said with some resentment: "But after the tooth was pulled out, I felt something was loose, otherwise I wouldn't have the opportunity to sit here and tell you this, I would
It's my mission to spend all my time killing Batman."
"You can't tell your companion's name either?"
"No, he gave me an order not to reveal anything. After my control weakens, I can just talk to you like this without being discovered by him, but as long as it involves key information, it will definitely attract his attention."
Batman's fists clenched. The worst-case scenario Schiller said came true. Dick had a master, but it wasn't him.
If the transformer controls the transformed person to such an extent that he can even know what the other party says, then it doesn't matter even if Dick reveals his identity, because everyone knows that Batman cannot kill his own child, nor can he hand over his child.
If you give it to that strange master, you can only take him with you.
But that master could use Dick to spy on Batman, eavesdrop on important information about the Bat-family, and even give him a fatal blow at a critical moment.
"So who could this mysterious owner be?"
Batman quickly thought of a way, "If Dick can't take the initiative to say it, then he can just see it himself. Martian Manhunter has the ability to read minds. Just let him take a look at Dick's memory..."
"You can't gamble." Schiller suddenly said: "Even if reading the memory will not hurt Dick, if the other party only has Dick as a descendant, after his identity is revealed, he will definitely guess that something is wrong with Dick.
What do you think he will do to him then?"
Batman also thought about this problem at this time. The control was only weakened, not disappeared. It would be terrible if the other party controlled Dick to do something irreversible.
"Why did you realize that fangs are the key?" Batman changed the subject.
"I just need it to lose the ability to transform others." Schiller's answer seemed extremely cold and ruthless. He said: "If it relies on eyes to transform, then dig out the eyes. If it relies on claws, then chop off the claws."
, so you should be glad that teeth are not such an important organ."
Dick shivered again, folded his hands on his chest and said nothing.
"Can he see us through you?" Batman asked.
"Maybe it used to be possible, but if he does it now, maybe I can feel it." Dick's answer was a bit vague, but considering the occult nature of vampires, this is not surprising.
"I suspect there is another traitor in the Bat family." Schiller said: "This is not a difficult thing to speculate. If it were me, I would choose one to be in the open and the other to be in the dark."
"You mean Dick was pushed out?"
"He is your eldest son, and he has a special meaning to you. If something happens to him, it will definitely affect your energy, make you overwhelmed, and even make mistakes."
Batman was silent. He knew that Schiller had grasped the key. Batman is a superhero with almost no weaknesses. If he had any weaknesses, wouldn't the biggest loss he has suffered in his life be with Jason?
The Bat Family is his helper, but they are also his children. Considering the setting of Batman as a hero, it is not that important whether he helps or not. The Bat Family mostly provides emotional support to Batman, so naturally
It became the only crack in this flawless stone.
If you want to completely break this smelly and hard stone, you can only choose to drive nails in through this crack. Other villains with the ability to imitate have done this, but imitation is imitation after all, and fake ones will always be caught.
expose.
Vampires are different from them. Vampires are real, at least their bodies and souls are real, but their nature has been reversed and they have become evil.
This leads to the fact that even if Batman really finds out that they have turned evil, he can't do anything. Now that he knows that Dick is a vampire, can he kill him? Even if he is locked up, he won't worry. Isn't this still with him?
Around you?
So it is obvious that if Batman discovers that one of his children has become a vampire, he can give him a heavy blow physically and mentally. And if another knife hidden in the dark is very close to him, it will cut off this child.
The hardest head is not far away.
"You need a chance to break the situation." Schiller said: "It's getting late, maybe it's time to start surgery."
Batman fell into thinking. He really had too many things to think about. It wasn't really an operation anyway. Schiller fixed Dick's teeth and sent him out.
Damian stopped him as soon as he walked out and said, "Why is it such a coincidence? Your two decayed teeth happen to be canine teeth. You don't know that the fangs of creatures like vampires grow in the position of canine teeth, right?
"
"You know everything, but Batman doesn't know?" Dick touched Damian's head.
Damian was obviously choked. After thinking about it, he thought so. Batman watched Dick's dental check-up process. If there was really any problem, how could he let Dick out?
In the end, trust in Batman prevailed. Damian said nothing, pointed to the door, and asked Dick to hurry over.
The agreed time for the operation is coming soon, and they need to follow Batman's arrangements and defend the Batcave. Batman said he would allow Dick to enter the room, but in fact he still let him guard the door. However, this is enough to show that Batman is against
He paid attention to it.
Jason was guarding the outside door. He was never as cautious as other Robins. He would squat in a corner and start to feel dazed.
Of course, he was not stupid. He had been chatting with Barbara in the surveillance room. It was unlikely that something could have escaped the surveillance and quietly touched his face.
