Chapter 391: Master Tactician, Surprise Meeting
Gotham is a city shrouded in clouds all year round, with towering chimneys emitting exhaust fumes and dripping rain.
Beneath the surface of the bustling city are narrow alleys and filthy gutters, street girls scratching their heads and vagabonds with numb expressions.
"If you add colorful billboards and render them into the effect of light pollution, it can be used as a cyberpunk game map."
Luke clasped his hands to his chest and stood above the clouds.
Such a city with simple folk customs and outstanding people can be used as a special attraction in the DC universe.
There are so many places to visit.
For example, the Black Gate Prison and Arkham Asylum, which were once inhabited by all kinds of supercriminals.
The classic show of Batman's solo show, the crime alley where the corpse is whipped every time and those two gunshots.
There's also the chemical factory where the clown fell, the botanical garden where Poison Ivy fell, Robin's circus, and more.
If he had the chance, Luke wanted to arrange a five-day tour of Gotham City to take in the city's wonderful scenery.
Of course, he doesn't recommend ordinary people to do this, because it is more risky.
In case of bad luck, there is a risk of coming across obsessive-compulsive disorder that pesters you and makes you guess riddles.
Flipping a coin alive asks you heads or tails with a disfigured face.
The most unfortunate thing is to meet a madman in a purple suit who asks you "why are you so serious".
"It's a really interesting place."
Luke retracted his divergent thoughts, his super vision spread throughout the city, and he soon found the location of the Flash.
Batman in Flashpoint World did not build himself a lead safe house.
Otherwise, his super eyesight might not be as good.
"This guy...... Who beat me up? ”
Luke raised an eyebrow, looking a little surprised.
Barry Allen seems to have been beaten badly, and the face with a blue nose and swollen face and cracked corners of his mouth is probably difficult to recognize even if his girlfriend comes over.
"Tsk, Dr. Wayne is too ruthless."
Luke reacted quickly, somewhat gloating.
After a little analysis, you can guess that the person who did it must be Batman's father, Thomas Wayne.
After all, no matter which time and space Batman is, he will be more or less suspicious.
It's hard for them to trust a stranger, especially a stranger with a lot of nonsense.
Boom, boom, boom!
Superman's feet accelerated, and in a flicker, he crossed half of Gotham and came to the door of Wayne's mansion.
He did not choose to fall from the sky, but to walk from the front.
An overly high-profile appearance will inevitably arouse the vigilance and disgust of others.
The secret passages and secret rooms in the mansion are placed in front of Super Vision, and they are simply unconcealed.
This once again fully proves that Batman in the Flashpoint world does not know the existence of Superman at all.
Even the most basic insurance measures have not been arranged.
……
……
"Barry Allen, you're more delusional than the Joker, I told you, Arkham Asylum is where you belong."
Thomas Wayne digested the information that Barry, whose brain was stimulated and had a complicated expression, was said earlier.
This guy just told him that he is actually a superhero and has a sworn enemy with similar abilities.
The origin of the other party is even more amazing, a future scientist in the 25th century, who can travel through time and space at super speed and change history.
"Dr. Wayne, I'm not crazy, I'm not lying, it's all true."
Barry Allen was pinching a ring with a lightning bolt sign that had fallen out of his pocket.
There should have been a Flash suit there, but now it's a yellow uniform against Lightning.
It was like a silent mockery, mocking Barry's situation at this point.
He felt that the old enemy of fate had once again entangled him.
"When I was eleven years old, my mother was murdered, and my father was convicted for it, so in order to prove his innocence and catch my mother's murderer, I tried my best to study and join the Midtown Police Department as a forensic examiner."
Barry Allen clutched the yellow suit of Reverse Lightning tightly, and said through gritted teeth: "But I never found any clues, until I became the Flash, I found that my life had already been locked by an enemy I didn't even have a grudge with." ”
"Dr. Wayne, that's reverse revenge, reverse lightning came from the other side of time and space, and he's the murderer of my mother!"
"But in this world, my mother is alive and well, and there is no doubt that he and I have rewritten history again."
After initially determining that Barry was a non-threatening intruder, Batman did not scold the other party again.
"You say history is rewritten, but what about Bruce?"
Thomas Wayne cares more about the names that Barry blurts out when he breaks into the Batcave than the weird, imaginatively understandable plans.
"I remember, you called me 'Bruce' before, right? Do you know him? ”
Barry hesitated for a moment, his broken finger still glistening in pain.
Considering that he is not good at lying and it is impossible to fool Batman, he said truthfully: "In the world I live in, you and Mrs. Wayne were shot instead of him, and Bruce became Batman, fighting against the criminal forces of Gotham City, he is a superhero, and he is the brain of the Justice League." ”
"So, what do you mean...... Did Bruce survive? ”
Batman, who had maintained his anger and violentness from the beginning, suddenly trembled in his voice for a moment.
The only thing that can be touched, except for the crazy wife, is probably the dead son.
"That's right, Dr. Wayne, your son used to be one of my closest friends, and we fought side by side against the darkness."
Barry seems to realize that in order to get Batman's help, he must use Bruce to impress the other party.
Playing the emotional card is the most effective way!
In turn, he was ashamed of such thoughts.
Taking advantage of a good friend's father, this does not seem to be a glorious act.
Thomas Wayne, who got the answer, softened his tough face hidden under the mask.
He saw through Barry's thoughts, but didn't care.
Suppose this madman is true of everything.
Well, maybe there's still a chance! I can also save this terrible life!
"Barry Allen, tell me, can you change this world back to what it was? Turn back to ...... The way I'm dead and Bruce is alive! ”
Thomas Wayne asked earnestly.
He stared into Barry's eyes, trying to tell if the other party was lying.
"He can do it, and he's the only one who can."
A magnetic voice with a smile suddenly sounded in the bat cave.
In the dark shadows, a tall figure walked out.
Exactly Luke!
"Looks like I need to upgrade the security here."
Thomas Wayne pretended to be frustrated, sighed, and then flicked out two batrangs without blinking his eyes.
Shout! Shout!
The sound of breaking wind is coming.
Target the thighs and shoulders.
It seems that Batman didn't want his life either.
"The heart of playing tactics is dirty."
Luke thought silently.
I saw that his eyes were slightly condensed, and the hot gaze melted the two batdars in an instant, turning them into wisps of smoke.
"Superman! Clarke! Is that you? ”
Barry, who was standing on the side, shouted with surprise on his face.
With his tall stature and iconic hot gaze, he sees Luke as Superman!
