The correct way to attack the villain

Chapter 66

Ten o'clock sharp New York time.

The Batmobile drove from the outskirts of the West Sea all the way to Crescent Bay, passed through a hidden underwater passage, and finally stopped in the private garage under the Wayne Manor.

The owner of the manor went to the Batcave as soon as he got off the car, as if he was busy with things, so the burden of receiving "guests" was handed over to Alfred.

Of course, it was always him who did it.

"The change of clothes and toiletries have been placed in the bathroom of the guest room. It is the same room you used to live in. They are all new. If you are missing something, you can go to the workshop to get it yourself. I think you are already familiar with it. "

The old housekeeper walked in the front, and when he said this, he turned his head to look at Eredar, or rather Song Mo, with his usual politeness and a hint of imperceptible—

enthusiasm?

Song Mo, who stepped into Wayne Manor for the first time as a clown, felt a little flattered.

"I thought you'd be taken aback by me just now."

He walked obediently behind the butler, and from the corner of his eye he saw the reflection on the window, the green hair and bright red lips intertwined very vividly.

The old butler turned his back to Song Mo and said, "Scared? You mean?"

Song Mo: "Such as my outfit?"

Alfred smiled and said, "I was taken aback." The old butler stopped at the stairs, looked Song Mo up and down, "I'm sorry, but there is one thing I have to say—"

Song Mo had a "this is normal" expression on his face: "You say."

Then, just when he thought the old butler would say something like "I hope you will at least change into a normal dress before you come to the manor as a guest, after all, no one in Gotham would welcome a clown", the old butler frowned and said.

"Even when I was younger, no one wore purple sequined suits anymore."

Song Mo: "...Then I'll change one next time?"

The old butler continued to walk towards the guest room with a smile: "When I was in the Royal Air Force, my friend gave me a piece of clothing. It was an air force dress for the military parade. If you don't mind it, I can give it to you. You will like it." .”

Song Mo had a complicated expression: "Then wearing your clothes and blowing up Gotham's buildings?"

The old butler: "There are two types of buildings in Gotham, Mr. Silance."

Song Mo took it for granted, "Bruce Wayne's building and other buildings?"

The old housekeeper: "It's the building of the good man and the building of the bad man." After he finished speaking, he paused and agreed, "But your statement is also correct."

Then, this old butler with gray hair, a retro tuxedo and a military standing posture looked upright and serious, with deep wrinkles on his face but couldn't hide the young and handsome old butler. I've been used to Penguin for a long time."

Song Mo was stunned for a moment, and then laughed after a while, showing a slight dimple on the left cheek: "Me too, Mr. Housekeeper, not many people would like that fat penguin that is short, self-righteous and timid."

The old butler raised his eyebrows: "A proper description."

After sending people to the guest room, Alfred explained some unimportant things before turning around and going downstairs.Song Mo stood at the door and watched the old butler's back disappear at the stairs, then turned and walked into the bathroom.

Just like what the old housekeeper said just now, clothes, towels and toothbrushes are all well prepared, even a set of pajamas is prepared, and a small medicine box is carefully placed on the sink, and several bottles of externally applied wound medicine are picked out When it came out, there was a small note next to the bottle without instructions, with the dosage written in beautiful Chinese characters.

Bangya couldn't help but said: "Mr. Pennyworth is indeed a very qualified housekeeper."

Song Mo picked up the note and looked at it for a while, then carefully folded it into a square and stuffed it into his pocket: "Bangya."

Looking at Song Mo's complicated face, Bangya couldn't help feeling a little distressed.Although his captain never said it, he actually knew it all.People who have been treated maliciously since childhood will always feel overwhelmed by other people's concern, and the artificial intelligence brain, which is so moved by itself, even softens its tone: "Say it, Captain."

Then Song Mo said: "If Alfred is 30 years younger, no, even if he is 20 years old, maybe the person I like won't be Bruce Wayne."

Bangya: "You better shut up."

Song Mo: "And he turned out to be in the Royal Air Force."

Bunya: "What trash talk are you talking about."

Song Mo: "Don't you think he is very attractive?"

Bunya: "He's old enough to be your grandfather, Captain."

Song Moli said confidently, "Then Bruce is old enough to be my father."

Bangya: "So you want to tell the world that you don't like him, you just have Electra complex?"

Song Mo: "Why does such an interesting thing about old couples and young wives become so obscene when you say it?"

Bunya is devastated.

Is he the dirty one?is it him?

is it him? ? ?

"It's Otto."

In the dark Batcave, Bruce Wayne worked day and night as usual: "He couldn't reach out to Gotham, Metropolis, New York and Los Angeles, so he could only choose the West Sea."

"He planted explosives in all the cities in Xihai, and secretly dispatched his men to infiltrate the military. We don't know how far he has infiltrated the government of Xihai, but once he wants to launch a war on the earth, Xihai will definitely become his first choice for camping. "

For the third time, Alfred couldn't help but look at the late-night snack at the table, which should have been cold. Before reminding him or continuing to discuss, he thought for two seconds before choosing the latter: "Before, the Wayne Enterprises biological research department was very interested in Maoyan. All of Shi's research results have come out, are you interested in knowing?"

"The cesium-like element that can be used as a protective measure?"

"No, master." The old housekeeper shook his head and said with a serious expression, "They followed the research and found that this element had been discovered by the Malay government five years ago, and it was used in a human experiment. In that experiment, among all the subjects implanted with this element, the one who lived the longest was only three years. Once they died, the implanted element would also disappear with the reduction of human body activity."

"The principle is very similar to the Honkai source that cannot coexist on the earth, but this is not what I want to talk about."

"One question, Master Wayne."

Bruce looked at Alfred.

The old butler walked to the console and called up a linear data: "This is the frequency of Otto's expansion on Earth in the past few years." After he finished speaking, he pointed to the data that had obviously increased by dozens of times, "This is It's now."

"Otto suddenly sent a large number of men to Earth this year, controlling the government, interfering with the army, and even had a large-scale invasion of Gotham. What do you think is the reason?"

This is also a question that Bruce has thought about. He said directly: "Maybe it's because he's already prepared, and the date of attacking the earth is within these two years, or maybe he's eager to get something back."

Alfred: "We already know what he wants to get back."

Bruce: "So I'm leaning toward the latter."

Alfred said again: "But after so many years, he didn't take any action. He only picked this year."

Bruce frowned.

This question is actually very easy to understand.

Ten years ago, Otto invaded the earth on a large scale, and was beaten to almost annihilation in the end, and fled back into space in embarrassment.He didn't know how many people were in Otto's army, but judging from the fact that Otto went out in person and there was no movement after three waves of space reinforcements, Otto's loss was definitely most or even almost all of him. full force.He needs time to regroup and recuperate, which is why the earth and their galaxy can live in peace for nearly ten years.

Judging from the way they retreated in a hurry after they invaded Gotham before, Otto has no plans to invade the earth again.That invasion of Gotham looked like something had reached a critical point, and he had no choice but to act.

Therefore, there is only one reason why he suddenly and frequently expanded his influence on Earth this year, even at the expense of arousing their vigilance.

Song Mo, or the so-called "infection source" implanted in Song Mo's body has a problem. As for what the problem is——

Bruce: "Then ask Song Mo."

The old butler: "So you have time to monitor Otto's movements here to find the reason, why don't you just ask the reason himself?"

Bruce leaned back in his chair, and he didn't tell Alfred that he was actually still angry, because even he couldn't explain why he was feeling angry.He thinks it should be because of the unexpected incident that happened at the junction of Gotham and West Sea an hour ago, which may have endangered the whole Gotham, but ended with thunder and rain, because it made him not hesitate to mobilize all the bat fighters Then formed a beam with the Avengers in New York.

It may also be because, after causing so much trouble to the entire Gotham, and being clearly a criminal, he violated the original intention of doing things for many years, and instead of twisting the second-generation clown into Arkham, he conspired to send him to Arkham. people took home.

Although he didn't know how many times this was.

In short, Bruce Wayne said reluctantly: "He may not tell me if I ask."

The old housekeeper shrugged: "Then you have to ask before you know, don't you?"

Bruce fell into a long thought.

then.

"Are you talking about the will to collapse in my head?"

In the study on the second floor of Wayne Manor, Song Mo, who was wearing the new pajamas prepared by the old housekeeper, was sitting on the vacant chair next to Bruce's desk, still in that presumptuous, exaggerated, and horizontal H-shaped sitting posture.

Song Mo put down the old book in his hand and blinked after hearing Bruce's question without foreplay.

"There is no big problem." He pressed his head, "But there may be one that will happen soon."

"It's probably going to blow up in a little over a month."

The youth's casual tone made this explosion sound like a child's play.

Although the result can already be guessed, Bruce still asked: "What will happen after it explodes?"

"What will happen?" Song Mo straightened his sitting posture, leaned on the desk and propped his chin with one hand, tilted his head and said, "I'm going to die."

Bruce frowned severely.

"You haven't told me this before."

"I didn't want to tell you at that time, and you didn't ask." Song Mo acted as if what he was talking about had nothing to do with his life or death. After seeing the man's expression, he explained, "You don't have to be too nervous, it's just fine." Otto is the one who needs to be urgent after the explosion, and the source of hoonkai cannot exist on the surface until he completes the transformation of the earth's environment, and it will not have any impact on the earth, but the process will be a little tortuous."

After he finished speaking, he picked up the old book again, and Bruce noticed that the old book was nothing but the rubbings of the port orphanage ledger that Alfred had just spelled together.

"You know what it feels like to be eroded by the source of the Houkai. At that time, I will definitely become a monster who only knows how to kill and set fire, and then you will join hands to subdue it. It will be another Gotham vigilante to save the citizens of Gotham In the water and fire, it is a good thing that deserves to be praised, so you can rest assured."

"But if that day really comes, can I trouble you with something, boss."

Song Mo'an flipped through the book quietly. Bruce had heard many of his voices, sharp, crazy, hysterical, crisp, cold, and playful.

This is the most peaceful time.

"I know that Batman doesn't kill people, so if I am unfortunately caught by you, can you send me to the Eye of Heaven?"

Bruce looked at the young man: "They will kill you."

Song Mo turned another page of the book: "I know."

"But at that time, it must be harder to live than to die."

Although Bruce could already guess the result when Song Mo uttered the first sentence, he found out after hearing all the words spoken.

He didn't know what to touch.

Just like in the bottom line, it was a mistake for them to be able to coexist peacefully in the same room.

He once said to Alfred that even if a person has a [-]% chance of becoming their enemy, they have to be [-]% prepared before that, and he has always been Batman for ten years. did so.

Catch criminals and crack down on gangsters, even Sergeant Gordon said he was as ruthless as a walking constitution.No one has ever been pardoned after committing so many crimes.

Except for this person in front of him.

He blew up several buildings in Gotham, caused countless panics among the masses, was convicted of more than 90 counts of intentional injury, threatened the Gotham Police Department, and held high-ranking government officials hostage.

And now, one of them is standing and the other is sitting, one is talking quietly and the other is listening quietly.

He even racked his brains to say a few words of comfort.

Everything is clearly telling Bruce Wayne that his cognition has deviated, and something is being quietly changed.

Maybe his methods are still iron-blooded, but some people have already started not to use this method.

Because he seems to have a weakness that even Batman himself doesn't know—

play self pity.

Having played enough of being pitiful, Song Mo finally spoke again and broke the long silence in the study: "By the way, boss."

Bruce: "Yeah."

Song Mo raised the ledger in his hand: "Did Jim say anything when he gave you this half ledger?"

As if struck in the center, Bruce fell silent again.

But this time the silence was not as motionless as before. He rolled up the cuffs of the blue suit shirt, loosened his tie, and finally walked in through the door.The man stopped in front of Song Mo, standing against the light, and the shadow rolled over like a mountain, completely enveloping the young man.

There was a table between them, Bruce picked up the cup on the desk, then turned and sat on the sofa next to him: "He asked me to bring you a sentence."

Song Mo narrowed his eyes: "What are you talking about?"

The man took a sip of the cold black tea in the cup: "He asked me to tell you—"

Song Mo: "What?"

The cup was put back on the coffee table, and Bruce looked down at his reflection in the teacup: "He asked me to say thank you."

Seeing his boss's series of abnormal actions, Song Mo thought he was going to hear some big news, startled: "He asked you to say thank you? Is it that simple?"

Bruce: "Exactly."

Song Mo threw away the account book in his hand with some disappointment: "I thought it was a big deal, it's as simple as a thank you."

The young man stood up and said, "Boss, you should be busy, I'm going to sleep first."

Bruce sat on the sofa, watched Song Mo stretching out of the study, and couldn't help shouting before his figure completely disappeared: "Song Mo."

Song Mo, who had just walked out of the study, stepped back and poked his head out: "What's wrong, boss?"

Bruce: "Is there no way to stop the explosion?"

Song Mo made a posture of thinking, and after a few seconds: "Yes."

After finishing speaking, before Bruce could speak, he stretched out his hand to grab the door frame, and suddenly smiled, his eyes bent into crescents: "Boss, are you reluctant to let me die?"

Bruce looked at Song Mo's expression and didn't deny it: "At least not in a month."

Then, when Song Mo's smile grew wider and he was about to laugh again, he buttoned up the cuffs of his suit expressionlessly: "You still owe me three years' salary."

Song Mo: "..."

He didn't know how he walked back to the room. Anyway, after he entered the guest room and closed the door and fell on the bed, the personal assistant of the chairman of Wayne Enterprises made accusations from the debtors.

"Is this what a richest boss should say?"

"After he knew his employees had only one month left to live???"

There is no fluctuation in Bangya's inner core.

Even a little to laugh.

In the study on the second floor of Wayne Manor, Bruce was still sitting on the sofa.

He frowned and looked serious.

He was thinking about an almost unsolvable problem.

When Alfred came in to change his tea, seeing Bruce's expression, he couldn't help but said, "Although I don't know what happened. Are you thinking about the previous thing again?"

Bruce rubbed his face wearily: "I don't know if it's right for me to do this."

The old housekeeper: "Then even if you know it's wrong, would you still do it?"

The pupils of the man sitting on the sofa dilated for a moment, and then he affirmed: "Yes."

The old housekeeper said again: "Then the person who should be punished has been punished?"

Bruce nodded: "Yeah."

The old butler put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Then this shouldn't be something that bothers you, you will understand."

In the Roland neighborhood of Chinatown, the moving company drove in at dawn.

Mrs. Roland was awakened by an unavoidable noise. When she walked out of the house with her clothes on, she saw a tall and thin man paying the moving company's wages. She stared at the man for a long time before recognizing it: "Jim?"

Different from the silent and gloomy past, today's Jim looks a little unnaturally sunny: "Mrs. Roland!"

Mrs. Roland looked at the moving companies coming in and out: "Do you want to move?"

Jim: "Yes."

As the landlord, Mrs. Roland was a little strange: "The house——"

Jim: "My friend is still living there, and I will continue to pay you the rent."

Mrs. Roland nodded and asked again: "Why do you suddenly want to move the house?"

Jim: "Our company transferred me to the Antarctic scientific research station, and I can no longer live here."

Mrs. Roland: "Well, then you have to be careful there, it always sounds dangerous there."

Jim smiled with relief: "It's good to be dangerous."

Mrs. Roland: "What?"

"It's nothing." Jim got into the moving company's car and waved to Mrs. Roland for the last time before closing the door. "Sorry for making you sleep. It's still early. Go and rest. I'll leave Mrs. Roland first."

Mrs. Roland then said a few polite words of farewell, and returned to the room after the car drove out of the community.

It was only when she lay down on the bed again and was about to fall asleep that she remembered it vaguely.

Didn't Jim originally work for a mobile phone software company?

The mobile phone software company...was also involved in getting the Antarctic scientific research station?

"Could you please say sorry to Callis for me?"

"It was I who changed that name to his sister."

"The guest that day...was Judge Claude. If it wasn't for me, he wouldn't have broken Judge Claude's tricks to save his sister, wouldn't have fallen out with the dean, and Judge Claude wouldn't have Will send three people to trouble them for wanting to keep it a secret."

"Calise's sister...will not die either."

"I made a mistake."

"Not even God will forgive me."

In the crowded small attic, the man curled up and held his head.

Crumbled and cried.
