Chapter 400 Hall of Justice

Chapter 400 Hall of Justice

Bruce wasn't embarrassed when he was put down.

His stealth skills weren't learned from the Guild of Assassins. Although the Guild of Assassins might sound like an organization that kills people using despicable methods like poison, at least during Lei Xiaogu's reign, its members were filled with pride.

When they want to kill someone, they usually just show up in front of the other person and then engage in a fair fight with knives and guns.

When Bruce first started acting as a vigilante, he often made basic mistakes, such as underestimating the level of violence among ordinary citizens of Gotham City and overestimating their moral standards.

After being shot multiple times and falling from a building, Bruce Wayne finally decided to go stealth, which led to the Batman who spreads fear. Before that, he was just known as the Batman Monster by the thugs on the streets of Gotham.

His repeated failed attempts at stealth have also made him quite thick-skinned; at least when he gets caught, he can still maintain a calm demeanor.

Now that the misunderstanding was cleared up, Rune immediately retracted the mirror space and released Aquaman. At this moment, everyone discovered Constantine, who had been released along with them, and a pile of rotten flesh not far away.

Before this, that lump of rotten flesh was called the Outsider.

Hal had never seen such a disgusting sight, and he immediately vomited.

"You shouldn't have done that." Batman looked at Rune disapprovingly, and Rune shrugged.

“If you knew what the Outsider had done, you’d think he deserved it,” Rune said, though he wanted to say that the Outsider had killed you in another universe, but he held back.

Superman approached Rune, glancing at the kryptonite knuckle duster still in Rune's hand. "You shouldn't have done this to an outsider. He should be handed over to the law, not—"

Rune sighed. Superheroes love to do this kind of thing, especially guys like Captain America and Superman who have extremely high moral standards.

The problem is that many states in the United States have abolished the death penalty, so supervillains are always caught and imprisoned for a period of time, and then they are released or escape from prison to wreak havoc on ordinary people again.

But what did ordinary people do wrong?

But Rune also knew that if he dared to say that, Superman would definitely launch into a long string of grand principles, but Rune's underlying logic was that a life for a life and a debt for a debt, so Superman and Rune would definitely not be on the same page.

Just like in the Marvel Universe, even though Rune and Captain America knew each other earlier, Clark was actually Captain America's best friend.

However, Rune was still willing to respect Superman because Superman was a true gentleman who always thought about saving everyone, and that was destined to be a difficult path, one that even Rune himself could not achieve.

So instead of refuting Superman, he turned to Batman and asked, "Can we go find the other fugitives now?"

'

This was the first time Rune had ever seen the Hall of Justice. It was a solemn and magnificent building, with a distinctly Greek style. As he entered the hall, he saw many weapons and gadgets used by superheroes and villains.

"These items symbolize our friendship and beliefs," Diana led Rune into the hall. "Any visitor here can feel the justice of the cause we uphold."

Diana was actually one of the designers of the Hall of Justice. Although it was nominally a museum, Rune always felt that the hall was more like an Amazonian exhibition hall displaying its spoils.

"And what about these little plush toys?" Rune casually picked up a few miniature toys from the stall. "Do these also symbolize justice?"

Diana was somewhat speechless, while Hal was amused by Rune's question. He seemed to have forgotten how Rune had swatted him like a fly earlier, and laughed loudly, saying, "I knew someone would ask this question—"

question----"

"Yes, it certainly symbolizes justice as well." Batman interrupted Hal, a statement that made Rune nod.

"Yes, even justice needs to eat." He agreed with Batman's point of view; when the granaries are full, people know etiquette; when people are well-fed and clothed, they know honor and shame. "In that case, pack me a few more. Do they accept magical items for payment here?"

Batman narrowed his eyes; Rune's words seemed to have a hidden meaning—he nodded in agreement while beckoning to Zatanna.

If Bruce had to pick the person he trusts most in the magical realm, he would choose Zatanna, even though Batman and Zatanna have fallen out, the two are still entangled.

But Constantine volunteered at this moment, "Hey! When it comes to appraising magical items, I'm definitely the expert!"

Zatanna stomped on his foot hard, and the feeling of the heel of her high heel hitting him made Constantine's eyes widen.

Tears streamed down his face.

Zatanna didn't object to Constantine's appraisal. Born into a magical family, she wasn't sensitive to the price of magical items. On the contrary, Constantine, who had always been involved in the underworld and was extremely shrewd, certainly understood the value of magical items better.

More importantly, if there's a backdoor among these props, Constantine can quickly spot it; he loves to trick people.

So Zatanna went to Batman's side, whispered a few words in his ear, and Batman nodded, agreeing to let Constantine do the analysis.

Then Constantine's eyes were opened.

Rune deliberately took out all the powerful magical artifacts he had and showed them to Zha Kang. Zha Kang said that this one was bad and that one was wrong, but in reality, he was drooling.

Look at this mask, infused with powerful dark magic, capable of summoning shadow soldiers; look at this brass knuckles radiating terrifying power; look at this cane infused with N metal—

Finally, Rune took out the magical items that were actually used for the transaction. These were small items, such as night-vision sunglasses and various weapons that could provide physical enhancements.

These last magical items were clearly not weak, but—the difference between them and the powerful magical items before was too great, and Constantine's eyes immediately turned into dead fish eyes.

"how?"

Constantine took out the cigarette he had extinguished earlier, nodded, and said, "It's barely passable."

Rune looked at Zatanna, "And you?"

Zatanna looked around in confusion, then pointed to herself: "You mean me?"

Rune took a deep breath. The inscriptions on the magical items he had taken out were completely different from those in this world; this was a completely new spellcasting system!

He even wanted to exchange magic lessons with this stronger Zatanna, but he didn't expect her to be so ungrateful.

Rune, left with no other option, pinned his hopes of learning anti-speech magic on Zatanna in his own universe.

It's just unknown how much time and effort it would take for another Zatanna to reach the level of this Zatanna.

At least this Zatanna can even delay her own spellcasting.

Just as Rune was feeling disappointed, the alarm went off.
