The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

Chapter 606 Owl Nursery Rhyme (Part 1)

In the midst of the night, Wayne Manor exuded a peaceful atmosphere. Dick, who was wearing pajamas and a nightcap, hugged a blanket and walked to his bedroom.

He had just finished the homework assigned by the teacher and fell asleep on the way to do it. Alfred put a blanket on him and made him a little embarrassed.

Bruce pays more attention to Dick's grades. Although he doesn't have to be the first, he must at least have a passable grade. Failure is definitely not acceptable.

Dick didn't like reading very much. He followed Bruce and wanted to learn combat skills and detective skills, but Bruce insisted that he was underage and had to go to school, so Dick could only go to school quietly.

However, Dick is indeed very smart and doesn't work very hard, but he can also get in the top three in the exam. However, he really doesn't like memorizing by rote, and instead shows his talents in various school activities.

And because he practiced acrobatics before, his body coordination is very good, and he also has an advantage in sports. He also participated in the high jump team in middle school, which can be said to be a typical example of all-round development.

After returning to his room, Dick found that Aisha was waiting for him with the storybook in his arms. Dick walked over, took the storybook and flipped through it, and said, Where did it go? Let me see... oh, this book I've read it.

Aisha stared at him with wide eyes, and Dick explained with a sigh: No way, we can't go to the library to get books anymore.

You need a key to open the door of the library. The key is with Alfred. Alfred should be asleep now. We can't disturb him anymore. That would be impolite.

Aisha showed an aggrieved expression, jumped up, took the book away from Dick's hand, and then turned and left. Dick grabbed her and said, Don't be angry, we can do it without telling stories. Do something else, well, let me think about it...

By the way, I also participated in the school choir before. The teacher taught a few songs, but I don't like singing very much.

Dick took Aisha and sat down. He hugged the blanket, thought for a while and said: A few days ago, Mr. Wayne was sorting out the materials. He asked me to learn a song. I think it sounds pretty good. I'll teach you How about singing?

Elsa tilted her head, as if she didn't know what song Dick was talking about, or rather, she didn't understand what the song was at all. Dick tried to remember the song, and then said, Forget it, no, that song The song is too complicated for you, I have memorized the lyrics for a long time.

Elsa yelled, and Dick immediately turned to look at her and said, Are you sure you want to learn? It's really difficult...

Aisha nodded her head vigorously, and Dick said helplessly, Well, don't be angry if you don't learn by then.

Let me teach you the lyrics first. Dick stood up, ran to the bedside table, took out a pen, then opened the storybook, found an empty place and began to write the lyrics.

Elsa leans her head towards it, but she doesn't know the words very well yet, so Dick reads as he writes:

The court of owls... always monitor your travels...

The lyrics are really weird, aren't they? But the tune of the song is pretty nice. I'll teach you how to sing it. The Court of Owls... always monitor your travels...

Dick hadn't experienced the previous fight with the Court of Owls. He didn't know that there was such a thing in Gotham. Moreover, he read the book and said that this song was just a nursery rhyme, and Bruce didn't agree with this song. What a special attitude, so Dick just thought of it as a song.

Bruce felt that it was impossible for Dick, who had no professional music education, to understand the score, let alone sing the song in its entirety.

However, Dick was involved in a lot of activities at school, and joined the choir, and he was on good terms with the nun who taught the singing, and he learned some basics of music scores, and he was able to hum the song while looking at the score.

But because he didn't learn everything and didn't sing seriously, the tune he hummed was an extremely simplified version. It was a bit weird to match the complicated lyrics, but it was precisely because the tune was simplified that Aisha learned it quickly.

After discovering that Aisha could hum the tune, Dick began to focus on teaching her the lyrics again, but Aisha couldn't even speak and didn't know a few words. How could it be possible to memorize such a long list of lyrics, so Aisha took the lyrics Also simplified.

In this way, the original complicated, dark, gothic owl nursery rhyme has completely become a real nursery rhyme.

Perhaps Dick is exceptionally talented in art, and the song here is really catchy. Except for the first two lines the court of owls is always watching you when you go out, the rest of the words have been changed to It's easy to remember, and it requires children's speaking logic, and the tunes become more repetitive, nice and easy to remember.

It didn't take long for Aisha to learn this song completely. It seemed that she liked singing very much. After learning it, she began to sing non-stop, and even the pronunciation of words became smoother.

After singing a few times, Aisha became more proficient. She clapped her hands happily. Suddenly, she froze, and then began to shake her head from side to side, as if looking for something. Dick looked at his reaction in a daze, and asked, What's the matter? ? Elsa? What are you looking for?

Aisha showed a very confused expression. She opened her mouth, as if she was biting something, but she didn't bite anything, and she sniffed her nose vigorously, as if she smelled something, but there was nothing around.

Her reaction made Dick's back feel cold. Dick shivered, hugged the blanket tightly, looked at Aisha and asked, What's wrong with you? Don't scare me...

Finding that she didn't find what she was looking for, Aisha thought for a while, and then began to sing again. After a while, she opened her mouth, took a bite of air, and sniffed again.

As if she had discovered something, Aisha began to sing the nursery rhyme loudly. Later, Aisha found that it was too troublesome to sing like this, so she further simplified the lyrics and tune, and finally the whole nursery rhyme was left with the first sentence , plus a simple tune, repeating over and over again.

Aisha sang faster and louder. She opened her mouth while singing, and chewed twice as soon as she sang, as if she was eating something. Dick was so frightened that he quickly Run out of the room and call Alfred.

After Alfred was called, Aisha was still singing, and Alfred did not act rashly. He went directly to the phone and called Bruce back who was studying the Ark reactor model in the Batcave.

After Bruce came back, seeing Elsa like this, he asked Dick: What's the matter? What is she singing?

Because Dick and Aisha simplified the version of this song so much that Bruce didn't realize that it was the nursery rhyme for a while, Dick thought he was in trouble, and honestly explained everything.

Bruce looked at Dick and said, Did you really know that song? How did you know the sheet music?

I joined the school choir, and the nun who taught singing liked me very much, so she taught me to recognize some symbols in music scores, but I couldn't recognize them all. I only knew one basic melody, and I made up the rest of the tunes.

Dick turned his head to look at Aisha and said, After I taught Aisha, she didn't fully understand it, and the rest of the tunes were probably made up by her.

At this moment, Aisha stopped singing suddenly. She hiccupped on the spot, then suddenly laughed, and ran to Bruce's leg, hugged his leg, and danced While shouting: Dad! I'm so full! I'm full!

Bruce knelt down, pressed Aisha's shoulders, and looked at her back and forth, and found that she was neither injured nor conscious, but Bruce didn't understand what she just said.

Aisha can already speak some words now, and she can also express her state in words. For example, when Alfred feeds her vegetables that she doesn't like, she will say that she is full and doesn't want to eat.

Bruce looked up at the clock hanging on the wall again. It is now past 9 pm. Logically speaking, it has been 4 hours since dinner time. Bruce looked back at Alfred, and Alfred shook his head Said: Eating late at night is not good for your health, the Wayne family doesn't have such a habit.

What did you eat? Bruce asked.

It's delicious... so full, full! Hiccup! Aisha could only repeat these few words over and over again. Bruce asked several times, but she couldn't say anything.

In the end, Aisha also understood that Bruce wanted to know the answer, so she dragged Bruce's trouser legs to the window and pointed out the window.

Bruce looked out the window, and there was nothing outside, just the endless night of Gotham.

Finding that Bruce still didn't understand, Aisha thought for a while, then ran over quickly, jumped on the bed, and turned off the lamp.

Now, the whole room was plunged into darkness, Aisha jumped up and down on the bed and shouted: This! Delicious! This is it!

Bruce walked over and turned on the desk lamp, and Aisha stopped barking. He turned off the desk lamp again, and Aisha started barking again. Bruce stood up, looked at Alfred, and said, Dark? Night?  … …dark?

Suddenly, he thought that it might be the dark owl priest who created this nursery rhyme. Now, when Aisha is singing this nursery rhyme, she seems to be eating, and she will shout so full after eating. Does that mean that, Maybe this kind of nursery rhyme brought something, and then Aisha ate it?

Thinking of this, Bruce immediately became nervous. He first hugged Aisha, then grabbed Dick's arm, and said, Come with me, come with me, go to the hall!

Alfred, turn on all the defense systems of Wayne Manor, put all the vehicles in place, and if you find any abnormalities, directly output the highest firepower!

After speaking, he took a child in one hand and walked quickly to the hall downstairs, lit up all the lights in the hall, and then asked them to stand in the center of the hall, Alfred brought him a full set of Batman equipment, Bruce After changing it, he stood in the hall of Wayne Manor and waited for it.

But after waiting for a long time, nothing strange came over. Unexpectedly, at this time, Aisha started singing the nursery rhyme again, and then began to chew while singing. Bruce took this opportunity to look around, but it was still something. None of them were seen.

He thinks that this may be a matter of vision. Aisha can see some things, but it doesn’t mean he can see Aisha. After all, Aisha was reincarnated from a parallax monster, and his soul is that of an ordinary human being. , so it is very possible that what Aisha can see, he cannot see.

Not only him, but Dick and Alfred are ordinary humans, so in the whole manor, only Aisha can see that kind of thing.

Bruce admitted that he panicked when he found out that the nursery rhyme might be wrong. At that time, he thought Dick couldn't read the music score, so he asked him to recite the lyrics.

But this is actually also because he lacks understanding of Dick. Recently, he has been busy studying the model of the ark reactor that Schiller gave him. When he came home, the two children had already fallen asleep. At that time, I didn’t eat dinner at home, and the previous time of chatting and telling stories in front of the fireplace after eating was completely gone.

Therefore, Bruce didn't know enough about Dick's campus life recently, and didn't know what activities he participated in in school, so this kind of mistake appeared.

Fortunately, Aisha is not an ordinary child. If these two children are just ordinary human children, maybe they are entangled with something, and neither Bruce nor Alfred can find out.

Reminiscent of my previous speculation, that is, Gotham will become so chaotic and dark, it may be the dark owl priest who is playing tricks in the dark, then will it be possible that Dick and Aisha will also be killed because of my momentary negligence? On a path of no return?

Thinking of this, Bruce's face slowly turned cold. Instead of leaving the two children, he asked Alfred to bring the phone in the living room, picked up the receiver to dial, and said to the other side:

Hey, it's me, come to Wayne Manor.

A vague and hoarse voice came from the opposite side: What? Bruce? What are you talking about? I... Oh, wait a minute, honey, wait, I'll answer the phone... I'm not free right now, it's an adult's time……

Bruce's voice grew colder as he said, If you don't come, then I'll find you, Constantine.

Constantine broke out in a cold sweat instantly. He felt that he was being stared at by an irresistible darkness. He shook his head vigorously, and then said:

Wait for me, I'll be right there.
