Chapter 214 Magic Bat
Chapter 214 Magic Bat
The nights in Gotham were particularly cold, as if it had never had good weather, and this seemed to have become a symbol of it.
But tonight, the moisture in Gotham seemed to be even greater. Arthur, the King of the Sea, came ashore from Gotham Bay. He came to the basement of Wayne Building with a clear goal. Of course, he did not alarm anyone.
Batman was defusing a bomb, and Robin was squatting on the racks on both sides of him, observing his surroundings vigilantly.
Arthur heard Robin say in a brisk tone: "Batman, can we take it easy tonight?"
"Robin, I'll have you back in a penny. I need to get to the police station."
"Oh my god, this is a sideshow for the world's best detective! Batman, you can't do this. You can't keep it a secret and force your best assistant to investigate alone!"
"I think Mr. Batman will be able to accept that vegetable juice will greet him when he returns."
In the headset, Penny at the top of the food chain is threatening Batman and Gotham's fear.
This time Batman did not back down. After removing the bomb, he looked at Robin with disapproval and in an especially tough manner: "My opponent this time is the Joker, Robin. For your safety, you must return to the Batcave."
"Okay, okay, Bat-dad's dictatorship." Robin muttered, and caught the blue ball thrown to him by Batman, which contained the Joker's bomb.
Arthur only needed to take a glance to determine that this was a creation of water. He said without thinking, "Bat, have you finally evolved from a vampire bat into a magic bat?"
The moment he said this, Arthur had a bad feeling, and sure enough, he met Batman's disapproving gaze, which made him feel uneasy.
"Uh... I was just kidding?" Arthur shrugged, trying to get away with it.
"Hahaha, vampire bat, hi, Mr. Aquaman, you have a really good imagination." Robin landed beside Arthur with a smile. His eyes were bright and you could tell at a glance that he was a very lively and cute child.
"Of course, you're not bad either, boy."
"Aquaman." A low, mechanically synthesized throat cancer voice sounded, Arthur shrugged, he winked at Robin: "Boy, I need to talk to your bat father about something, you-"
"I understand, I understand. So Batman, Robin is coming back?" Robin grabbed the grappling gun and quickly left the scene with the ball.
"My God, you have a good child." Aquaman looked in the direction where Robin left, still sighing.
"Purpose, Aquaman."
"Oh, tell me first, do you have Atlantean blood? Or are you actually transformed from some marine creature?" Arthur asked with some doubt.
Batman was silent for a moment. His eyes behind the goggles were sharp and cold. He looked at Arthur thoughtfully, as if trying to confirm whether he was controlled by someone or encountered magic.
After finally confirming that his teammate was indeed the original, Batman said, "I thought it was no secret that I was human like Green Lantern and Green Arrow. What made you change your mind?"
"Not you? No one else in Gotham should get it..." Arthur muttered in confusion. In the whole world, there was only Batman. If the other party was not really interested in super powers, he must have hundreds of ways to obtain abilities that could match or even be stronger than them.
As for those highly intelligent villains in Gotham, Arthur never even thought about them.
Each of them is as crazy as Batman's fans, and all their thoughts are focused on how to create problems for Batman and how to torture this Gotham vigilante. They don't care to pay any attention to these people with super powers.
Except, of course, when they loaned Batman out for too long.
"What exactly happened?" Batman said impatiently, "If you don't want to tell me, I can check the surveillance."
"Well, Batman knows everything." Arthur shrugged. "It's nothing serious. It's just that a part of my Aquaman ability was borrowed away just now, but it came back not long after. The direction of the induction is Gotham, so I came to ask if it was you."
Batman's movements suddenly paused, and he instantly thought of Shi Ning, the girl who came from another world, who seemed to have used the ability to control water.
And according to her search history, she seems to be particularly interested in Liuyun, Flame Lion from The Avengers, and the girl from Arkham.
"Bat? Old Bat?" Arthur rarely saw Batman distracted, so he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of Batman.
"...I'll take care of it, don't worry." Batman promised in a deep voice. He had something else to do now, so he immediately swung his grappling gun and quickly left Wayne Group.
Arthur, who was left where he was, touched his chin. He glanced in the direction Batman left, wondering whether he was going to evolve into a magic bat. After a while, he decided to empty his mind. Since their consultant already knew about this, he would just leave it to him. This indispensable consultant in the alliance would solve all problems for him perfectly.
Gotham Police Department, Batman landed on the rooftop. Gordon, who was standing in front of the bat-light, looked behind him as if he had a premonition. Sure enough, the Dark Knight was already standing in the darkness.
"intelligence."
The sound of throat cancer made him scratch his ears and hand the stack of information in his hand to Batman's pointy gloves.
"These are all the information that can be found in the police station."
"Twelve bodies have been found so far. They don't have any identity records or proof. Even people who knew them haven't been found. They are completely undocumented. More importantly, the laboratory department has extracted a strange substance from the bodies of these dead people."
"How did they die exactly?" Batman looked through the information, recorded it all using the pupil recorder, and asked, then returned the information to Gordon.
"It's freezing cold." Gordon showed a little doubt on his face, "But I can guarantee that it's not so cold that the human body can't stand it and will freeze to death. Even if you stay in that temperature for a long time, there will be no problem."
"Moreover..." Gordon's expression was a little melancholy, but he still said, "The joints of their bodies are seriously aged. They are not in the condition that young guys should be in at all."
"Leave this matter to me." Batman said in a deep voice.
Gordon shook his head in disapproval. He flipped through the documents and came to one of them: "This is also a vicious incident. You can't take it all on yourself. I mean, the police department can also... Where are the people?"
When Gordon looked up, there was no one in front of him. The big bat had left at some point in time.
Gordon sighed, "It's been a long time since I've felt someone listen to my entire conversation." After emphasizing a certain word, Gordon left the top floor.
He knew Batman could hear it, Batman knew everything.
"It seems that our old friend has a lot of complaints about you, Mr. Batman."
Batman: ...
"As a great hero, I think you wouldn't mind having your cookies cut in half, right?"
Batman: "...Penny for penny, don't cut the cookie in half."
