Chapter 293 Mud Face
Harry didn't know how he walked out of the room, his mind was blank.
The auditorium was empty now, and he walked with Bruce, his throat dry.
"I didn't do anything!" Harry tried to explain himself.
"I know."
Bruce nodded and said, "The competition is not a good thing. No one wants to suffer for themselves."
These words warmed Harry's heart.
"Thank you Bruce."
"fine."
Bruce really believed in Harry, so his words were so sincere.
This made Harry feel from the bottom of his heart that Bruce had such a considerate side.
They said goodbye at the staircase door and returned to their own lounges.
Bruce turned a corner and Katum suddenly appeared on his shoulder, urging him, "Hurry up! Let's get started!"
They are going to target Clayface.
Bruce was ready to do so without Katum's reminder.
He retreated to the shadow of the corner of the castle and disappeared completely.
……
The teachers and students of Ilvermorny walked together, still talking about what had just happened.
"Hogwarts must be cheating!" a girl screamed, "They are the organizers, do they have such privileges? We must file a complaint!"
"do not talk."
The warrior of Ilvermorny, Basil Carrow, said, "Just think of it as splitting a sixth-year wizard into two fourth-year wizards. Wouldn't that make you feel better?"
"But……"
The girl wanted to speak more, but now even the principal, Gilbert Fontana, stood on Carlo's side.
"Well, what has been decided cannot be changed."
The headmaster said, "There's nothing to be afraid of with two little wizards anyway. Even if Hogwarts cheated, it was just a stupid move."
They didn't think about lowering their voices when they spoke, and everything was heard by the portraits on the wall.
Hearing the negative comments about Hogwarts, the portraits glared at them, showing extreme diswelcome towards this group of people.
Due to the crash of Ilvermorny's plane, they had to live in Hogwarts Castle, unlike Durmstrang, where they could still live in their own big beds.
Once they arrived at the dormitories prepared for them at Hogwarts, the students returned to their own rooms.
Carlo was no exception. He had just opened the door and hadn't even turned on the light.
Suddenly, a spell flew over.
Carlo didn't have time to react and was hit by the spell, and he fainted instantly.
Bruce walked out of the darkness. He only used a sleeping spell and did not use a bewitching spell, which would cause harm to others.
Batboy flicked his magic wand and Carlo floated up and landed back on the bed.
In this way, if Carlo was not Clay Face, when he woke up tomorrow, he would only think that he was too tired last night and fell asleep on the bed.
I won't remember being attacked.
The next step is to enter his dream.
Bruce and Katum looked at each other, and then the dream magic created by Ravenclaw took them into Carlo's dreamland.
……
dark night.
As soon as Bruce hit the ground, he recognized the silhouette of the city ahead.
"It's Clayface indeed." Bruce said, "Isn't this Gotham?"
This is almost an admission of guilt.
If Carlo was really a native of Harry's world, how could he dream of Bruce's promised city?
"Oh, this is boring." Katum sighed, "Are the pursuers this time so worthless?"
His identity was exposed right from the start.
They didn't even have the desire to explore Clayface's mind and simply left his dream.
Back to reality, Carlo was sleeping soundly, Katoom jumped in front of him and slapped him twice. "Clayface, wake up! Get up and kill Batman!"
Carlo didn't wake up.
Bruce shook his head and lifted the spell on Carlo, who opened his eyes in a daze.
"you're awake?"
Katoom smiled and said, "Congratulations, you found Batman!"
What bird is chirping?
Carlo shook his head to make himself more awake, and then he saw Bruce standing beside the bed.
"Batman!"
Carlo screamed and fell off the bed.
As a pursuer, it was not surprising that he knew Bruce's true identity, but his next action surprised Bruce.
"Why did you come here!"
Carlo suddenly burst into tears, rushed over and wanted to hug Bruce tightly.
But Batboy just slightly turned his body to avoid Mudface's attack.
Or it can't be called an attack.
The tears on Carlo's face, they were real.
Bruce was really confused by his strange reaction. He frowned and asked, "Why are you crying? Aren't you here to hunt me down?"
"Pursuit?"
Carlo was stunned for a moment, then he came to realize that he seemed to have such a mission.
But damn the mission, he's had enough of this shitty world!
"What are you talking about hunting me down? How could I possibly hunt you down?"
Carlo suddenly wiped the tears from his face and showed a flattering smile, "Bruce, no matter what, we are fellow villagers, right? Send me back and let me leave this world. I promise you that I will never commit a crime again! Just be a good person!"
Ok?
Bruce didn't understand. According to Katum, Clayface should be a vicious super criminal.
He is insidious, cunning, and elusive. Although every plot has been thwarted and he has never had any particularly outstanding performance, he has never looked as utterly frightened as he does now.
"What happened to you?"
Bruce sat down on the bed and shouted, "Tell me what happened honestly! Oh no, you need to change back to your other self first!"
Carlo nodded vigorously, and his body changed quickly, as if it was dissolving, and his whole body turned into a pool of mud.
Then, the mud reorganized and turned into the appearance of a middle-aged man.
That was Carlo's appearance before he became Clayface. He was worried that Bruce would be disgusted by his clay face, so he considerately changed back into a human face.
Afterwards, Mudface began to explain everything that had happened to him.
"I don't know anything about Barbatos. I was led to this world by a voice."
Carlo glanced at Bruce and said, "That voice told me that now I have a chance to defeat the child Batman and get my revenge.
"I was still in the prison hospital at the time, so I thought I might as well do it. Even if I failed, I wouldn't suffer any loss. At least I could escape from prison."
"What happened next?" Bruce asked. "How did you change your mind?"
"Because I...Ah!"
Carlo didn't want to talk anymore. He decided to let Bruce see it himself.
He unbuttoned his shirt and revealed his chest.
For a moment, Bruce thought Carlo was planning on becoming Superman.
But he soon realized what the problem was.
At this moment, on Carlo's bare chest, a heart was beating violently.
That was not Carlo's own heart, but something that was obviously parasitic on it, connected to the skin, and looked extremely terrifying.
"Where did this come from?" Bruce asked.
He found it very strange. Couldn't the mud face be transformed into mud and sand? Why not just expel it?
"Ugh!"
Carlo sighed heavily, "It's all my fault. I assimilated something that I shouldn't assimilate!"
