Chapter 299: [True] Bruce Wayne
In the dark night of Gotham, the bat girl lands next to the gargoyle and looks down on her "territory".
Snow covered the streets and Gothic buildings, giving the dark and dreary city a vibrant color.
"Christmas ......" she suddenly began to recall Christmas, the previous Christmases were nothing special, crime was not picky, so every Christmas, her father as the police chief had to work overtime.
Her usual festivals were the same, with the sound of gunshots and the crackling of charcoal in the fireplace, and she spent the night when she couldn't sleep.
It's just that tonight will be her alone, and she is beginning to understand why her father is not coming home, and she will stay on the roof of the building all night tonight, guarding the city.
Suddenly the sound of an explosion came from the end of the street, and the flames were in the sky.
"They can't stop a little bit."
The Batgirl spread her hang gliders and glided quickly towards the end of the street in the night.
But when she landed, she found that someone had already arrived one step ahead of her.
There were five poor fellows on the ground who had been pierced through their legs by arrows and were struggling, and one fellow had his hands nailed to the wall by arrows, which fit a little bit like tonight.
The huntress put away her bow and crossbow and said, "You're late. ”
Sounds provocative.
Although the Bat Girl doesn't want to lose her momentum, she can't say that the huntress is superfluous at the moment, overtime is about to become the norm for the Bat Girl, and she is tired now: "Gotham has been very wrong lately, on average, there will be a case every two hours. ”
The same should be true of the huntress, although the bat girl disagrees with the other party's methods of action, she also admits that the other party is also good for the city, but the means are too extreme.
"There's more in places you can't see," said the huntress, "and the city has cancer, we all know it." ”
The Bat Girl said, "That should be benign too"
"It's getting worse now." The huntress said as she lifted her long legs and straddled the motorcycle: "If you want to continue to be sentimental, take off that outfit, you'll have a lot of time to think about what you should do." ”
The throttle roared, and in a gust of wind, the huntress was gone.
"Someone wants to mess up the city"
The bat girl raised her hand, and the rope gun in her hand was nailed to the wall, and as the rope gun was retracted, she "flew" onto the wall.
"The huntress must be looking for who this person is, too."
The two heroines who defend the city have noticed the truth that may exist behind the recent spate of crime.
Just when the whole of Gotham was going bad, Li Zu's toy store.
"Where's this?"
Shirley came over with a large suitcase, and her arms couldn't hold such a large box.
Li Zu stood on the ladder and hung a small lamp in the formal atmosphere: "Put it under the Christmas tree." ”
"Huh" Shirley put down the box and looked up at Li Zu: "Is there something missing?" ”
"Turkey? Burning charcoal? Please turn on the light," Li Zu stood on the ladder and pointed towards the switch of the small hanging light.
"Okay" Shirley nodded, and walked over to press the light.
The lights flickered on.
The colorful small hanging lamp instantly breaks the monotonous cold light in the toy store, and it looks that the deep diver toys are much cuter.
"Okay" Li Zu jumped down: "I bought it in advance, it's in the refrigerator, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to go home and get it." ”
As he spoke, Li Zu also pointed to the big Christmas tree that reached to the ceiling: "You have to hang something on it, right?" Candy, stars, what else ......? Socks? ”。
"Socks at the head of the bed," Shirley said.
Li Zu nodded: "That's right, there will be Santa Claus crawling in along the chimney at night, and I'm going to make a chimney later, it's best to put a trap under the chimney to catch Santa Claus." ”
"That's definitely not a good decision" Shirley walked to the table, picked up the red hat and put it on her head, and put on her gloves before going out.
A second before Shirley went out, Li Zu also asked: "By the way, the snacks and drinks in the refrigerator are also brought."
"Got it"
The door closed, and Li Zu hugged his shoulders and looked up at his Christmas tree.
Transforming a toy Christmas tree is not a difficult task.
And this Christmas tree, pine needles are still falling, and it is very fresh.
He never saw Christmas, but Shirley was looking forward to it, and he was idle before he decided to come and have fun.
Squeak, the door is pushed open.
"It's not open tonight~" Li Zu didn't look back, he was thinking about what to hang on the Christmas tree.
But there was only the sound of stomping feet from behind, and the snow at the door was a little thick, and people who walked in generally chose to stomp their feet on the steps of the doorway, and no one would do such an impolite thing.
Li Zu turned his head and said helplessly: "Sure enough." ”
Two masked guys with guns are stomping their feet.
Today he was not very lucky, and he ran into a shop robbery again.
"Haha, look, Pan, his Christmas tree is so big!" The robber on the left pointed to Li Zu's Christmas tree and shouted.
"Don't forget, what we're doing tonight!" The guy called Pan pointed his gun at Li Zu: "Take out all the money, boy!" ”
"It's all a bullshit Christmas tonight, and your house is still open, so you can only count yourself unlucky" Pan said in a tone that you were unlucky, and the muzzle of the gun was sometimes pointed at Li Zu's head, and sometimes at Li Zu's chest.
With the calculation formula of "gun fighting", Li Zu easily calculated where the muzzle of the gun was pointed at him, and he could quickly dodge, ensuring that the opponent would not want to hit him at such a close distance.
But he wasn't going to do that yet.
"There are so many people who have been making trouble for me lately, and even if I'm going to rest here for a while, it doesn't mean I'm muddy."
"What is he talking about, Pan?" The robber asked his companion strangely.
"I don't know, maybe you want to scare us away," Pan guessed.
This situation is not uncommon, and people often pretend that they have the confidence to avoid a property loss, but this kind of fool will usually lose his own life together.
Pan cleared his throat: "Don't play tricks, hurry up and get the money, we won't hurt you yet, otherwise you will have a hard time to eat!" ”
"Look, what is this" Li Zu kicked over the large box that Shirley was holding before, and the contents of the box were scattered all over the ground after the box fell over.
Water guns, plastic soldiers, and even pickup truck toys and rail cars, there's everything in between.
"He's crazy?"
"I don't know, but I think I can shoot him first!"
After a brief discussion, the two reached an agreement, and pointed the muzzle of the gun at Li Zu's toes.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Four gunshots rang out in a row.
The two robbers were stunned, because it was not their gun, and although they held up the gun in their hands, their fingers were not yet on the trigger.
Li Zu on the opposite side had already grabbed two pistols in his hands.
The muzzle of the gun was still spewing green smoke.
It was he who fired the gun just now, and at the same time, there was a "bang" sound behind him, the glass door was shattered, and the whirring cold wind blew in with snowflakes!
"Or do you want to try this?" Li Zu dropped the twin guns in his hand and grabbed the toy gun that seemed to be very powerful, the muzzle was a light, this should be the kind of toy gun that can be played at night, and it can project patterns on the wall.
In a flash, the toy gun has turned into a rifle!
Click, the bullet is loaded.
Boom!!
Burst of fire!
Ten minutes later, Shirley jumped over the broken glass shards all over the floor, looked at Li Zu, who was decorating the Christmas tree, and asked, "What happened?" ”
"A little thing, they told me that the glass is strong enough to be bulletproof, and I'm going to complain about them tomorrow"
Li Zu beckoned to Shirley: "Let's see how it goes!" ”
……
……
Wayne's new estate, a huge building, has been erected in a matter of months.
Before the newly transplanted trees could stretch their branches, they were covered in thick snow and hung with ice, turning the entire estate into a world of white ice and snow.
Alfred Pennyworth, the old butler, carried the tray and went into the study, and after pulling a book on the shelf, the shelf moved silently, revealing a dark road.
He walked down with a blank face.
At the end of the road, there is the brand new Bat Cave, which should probably be called the Huntress Cave for now.
Helena Wayne was sitting in front of her computer, searching for something.
"Hot coffee, would you like some of it?" Ah Fu put down the tray.
The coffee cup was still steaming.
"Thank you, Afu" Helena's eyes didn't take off the computer.
"It's Christmas, maybe you should have a good rest and relax for a while." He really couldn't bear to see the young girl with the dark bags under her eyes that stayed up late every day.
Helena asked, "He...... Will you also take a break at this time? ”
"Won't"
Alfred's answer was dry: "He'll stay in a bat cave all night, even the next few nights, and then use adrenaline, electric shocks, or high-strength coffee to keep himself out of sleep." ”
"I guess he must have been less troublesome at that time"
Helena's hands finally left the keyboard, but her expression was solemn.
The surveillance system that cuts through Gotham gives her ample footage.
"It's time for me to act," she stood up, and the screen saw another robbery, and he had a gun.
There are also people who pretend to be scarecrows and wander the streets.
Christmas was long gone, and she could remember how peaceful it was that night.
"The Bat Girl can't handle these situations alone"
She said, picked up the coffee, and drank it all: "Good coffee, Ah Fu, but it's a little cold." ”
"When I brought it, it was still hot," Alfred sighed, there was no movement behind him, and it was clear that the huntress had already set off.
"Number 1, report location, number one!"
Alfred sighed, sat down at the place of the huntress, and picked up the headset on the table.
"Roger, it's not far from your right, I think there's something hiding him."
Soon, there was a soft gasp in the headset and the muffled sound of fists hitting the man's face.
A few minutes later,
"How's it going, huntress?" Alfred asked, a little worried.
The battle just now dodged the street corner shot, so he didn't know the specifics.
The purple figure automatically walked into the surveillance camera and made an OK gesture.
"Whew" the old butler breathed a sigh of relief.
But soon, he froze: "Huntress, trouble is coming. ”
"Report location!" The huntress said.
"No, not where you are, where I am," he said, "it's Thomas Elliott, a good friend of your father's, whose car is parked right in front of the door." ”
"What is he doing here?" The huntress's voice didn't sound very happy: "Stop him!" ”
"All right," Alfred stood up as he propped up the table, "but on Christmas night, it's rude to chase away a guest standing outside the door with a present." ”
"I'm not familiar enough to spend Christmas with a strange man, even if he's a friend of my father's, and Wayne's house, no one can come in."
Alfred nodded, he also knew that the other party couldn't see this action: "Confidential, I know." ”
At the door, a red sports car is parked in the snow.
After a few minutes, the door opened.
"Hi, Ah Fu!" Thomas Elliott waved his hand enthusiastically, and he was still carrying a gift box in his left hand.
"Hello, Mr. Elliott," Alfred bowed in to greet him, who was just a butler and more impeccable in his manners.
"Your new house is nice, but I've heard it's just you and Helena's niece here," said Thomas Elliott, "and it just so happens that I didn't have surgery tonight, so maybe we'll be able to spend this night together." ”
As he spoke, the gift in his hand was already being handed forward.
"Thank you, but Miss Helena is a little inconvenient now......"
"She's not there?" Thomas Elliott frowned.
"No, she's just a little inconvenient now, she and ......" Alfred was gathering his thoughts, and a more suitable statement was ready, but before he could speak, Elliot said, "Haha, I just remembered that I had an appointment with a young model tonight!" It's all because I love Bruce so much that I almost missed out on the beautiful woman. ”
Thomas Elliott clearly saw what Alfred meant, and he was about to be turned away on this night with gifts.
But he still behaved decently, and his smile was equally hearty.
"It's obviously more important to have a beautiful appointment, Mr. Elliott," Alfred said, nodding along with the other's words.
"See you next time, I'll make an appointment in advance, Merry Christmas, Ah Fu"
"Merry Christmas, Mr. Elliott."
Elliott drove away.
"Number 1!" The huntress's voice came again.
Back in the Batcave, Ah Fu put on his headphones again and said, "I just sent him away, and Mr. Elliott is very well cultivated, just like he remembered when he played with Lord Bruce here many years ago. ”
"I'm afraid what you said is going to come true."
"What?"
Alfred was stunned, apparently not figuring out what the huntress meant.
"Just what you think......"
The Huntress said, "I ran into Batman. ”
……
The huntress half-crouched on the roof, and the moonlight showed off the curves of her perfect body,
In front of her, Batman, with his cloak wide open, like a vampire hunting in the middle of the night, pounced on the huntress.
The huntress turned nimbly, and the bow shot quickly, but the opponent was a step faster, catching the crossbow arrow she shot, just like the real Batman, good at fighting.
"My daughter, is this how we greet each other when we meet again?"
Batman dropped the arrow in his hand and looked at the huntress in silence.
His momentum is strong.
"So, what do you mean...... Are you Batman? The huntress rolled quickly on the roof and struck the rescue.
Whoosh, two more arrows flew out, one up and down, and went straight to Batman's vital point.
Batman easily dodged the bolt shots and said, "I remember everything between us, I've been back, I thought it would be a good Christmas present." ”
"Really?" The huntress half-crouched down, panting slightly.
"Helena ......"
Batman called out the name, and the huntress shuddered.
"Drink!" She gritted her teeth and rushed at Batman, her eyes burning with rage under the blindfold, and she threw a punch into Batman's cheek, who quickly raised his palm to block her fist, and with a quick flash of his body, he twisted the Huntress's arms and pressed her arms behind his back.
"You impostor! Maybe I should let you go to the grave! She scolded.
"Impostor?"
"Of course, he never called me a daughter!" Helena's right leg jerked up, and the tip of her shoe slammed over her shoulder into Batman's head, but the moment it hit her head, Batman leaned back and disengaged, but he also had to let go of the hands that held the huntress in check.
The Huntress does a quick somersault and dodges away.
She rubbed her aching shoulders.
"Even so, you think I'm a fake?" Batman took off his hood, and the face underneath was none other than Bruce Wayne!
Bruce Wayne is supposed to be missing, but why is he here?
Even the most determined huntress was a little shaken at this time.
Someone with the same looks appears here, with the skills of Batman, and more than that, he knows who he is.
The Huntress doesn't think that anyone else will know her information, except for Ah Fu and Batman, and the "daughter", as long as she knows that Batman and Bruce Wayne are the same person, then she will definitely guess.
She fired two crossbow arrows again, leaning backwards as she said, "Yes, I still think so!" ”
Batman dodged, then quickly took two steps forward, but unfortunately, there was no such figure.
Putting back on his hood, Batman did not chase the Huntress, but instead shot a rope gun and disappeared into the night.
Just on the roof of a building in the distance, the man with his head wrapped in bandages lowered his binoculars.
"It's almost now," he muttered, disappearing into the night.
In the alleys,
The Huntress was holding her legs, her mind was in a state of confusion right now, and the headset she used to communicate with Alfred had been removed and thrown aside.
"I've got to find out who's behind it!"
Obviously, the people behind the scenes completely angered her.
……
……
New morning,
Li Zu stepped over the broken glass slag all over the ground, stood at the door and stretched.
Passers-by looked at him in amazement, perhaps unable to believe that he could be so leisurely when his door was shattered.
Whoosh,
The batrang suddenly pierced the air and struck at Li Zu.
Li Zu turned sideways slightly, and the batman grazed his body and plunged into the snowdrift.
A black figure fell from the sky, and the cloak spread out and spread over the snow.
"It's Batman!"
"Batman?"
Passers-by screamed for the doctor and quickly ran away.
That's Batman, maybe he used to be the Dark Knight of Gotham, but after that incident he has become the representative of the "most evil", slaughtering the Justice League, and even nearly dominating the whole world.
I heard that there was a battle that made Batman lose.
But now, he has reappeared in Gotham.
Obviously, Gotham is not a place to live for a long time, and it's time to run for your life!
"Is there something wrong with me?" Li Zu grabbed his hair.
As far as he knows, there are dozens of otherworldly Batmen hidden in this world, and there was a killing machine that was deprived of emotion some time ago.
Batman said, "Today, I'm starting to purge the whole of Gotham again. ”
Li Zu was not surprised, he nodded: "Uh-huh, so I'm the first unlucky guy?" ”
"So to speak!"
Batman had already rushed towards Li Zu, he raised his fist, and Li Zu's elbow was suddenly raised, blocking.
"I don't think anyone has ever told you that my fists can't be carried by the Laughing Bat!" Li Zu stepped forward with his right foot, inserted it between Batman's legs, and twisted his waist in an instant, and the big spine turned and punched forward with his shoulder.
Boom!
Batman grabbed his arm and took two steps back, and after unloading the force of Li Zu's fist, he was short and carried his arm to make an over-the-shoulder fall, Li Zu was accidentally thrown down, but before he landed, Li Zu's legs hit the ground first, avoiding being completely smashed to the ground.
With his calves kicking the ground and his waist pressing down, he turned passive into active and fell to the ground with Batman.
Batman's reaction was no less impressive, his body curled up, and when he lay on his side on the ground, his knee had already hit Li Zu's back.
It's just that he is doomed to fail in the attack, the big green hand blocks Batman's knee, and with a flick of his wrist, Batman turns into a cannonball and smashes into the toy store.
The battle lasted less than half a minute from the beginning to the end.
If Li Zu had used his toy abilities from the start, the fight would have lasted for a single punch.
"So, now take off the hood, Mr. Impostor"
Li Zu's arm has returned to normal, and the huge green arm shrinks, and it will look ordinary, and the magical change scene is like watching Disney animation.
Li Zu returned to the toy store and looked at Batman, who had broken the Christmas tree and was lying in the pile of toys.
"Toy Man, no matter what universe you're from, death is your final destination here."
"Death...... Uh-huh, nice statement"
Li Zu walked over and took off Batman's mask, Bruce Wayne!
That's right, it's indeed Bruce Wayne.
"If I'm not mistaken, you should be in another place now."
"Really?"
Snort –
Green poison sprayed at Li Zu.
"Fear gas, good preparation" Li Zu took a deep breath, and before fear was generated, he suddenly turned into a plush toy.
In the needle hole of the plush toy, poisonous gas escaped.
After a few seconds, he returned to normal.
"Now you're my captive, Mr. Impostor, but I can't continue to be a shrunken turtle because someone has disrupted my good life."
Before Batman could speak, Li Zu had already thrown out a rope to tie him up.
……
……
"LEX" Group.
"What were the results?" Li Zu stood in what was supposed to belong to Lex Luthor's office.
However, to his surprise, the bald man had left his company and completely transferred it to his former female assistant.
In Luther's words, he needed absolute political rights, and a capital company would discourage his supporters.
Li Zu realized that he didn't understand, he just needed to know who could help him now.
The female assistant walked over: "He's Bruce Wayne, a perfect genetic match." ”
"What? Genuine? ”
Li Zu didn't think about this result.
He thought that this should be a fake, after all, judging from the abilities of those members of the Dark Knights, every Batman is not "simple", but the one he encountered this time does not have any other abilities, it is an ordinary Batman.
Lex Luthor, who was on his desktop, said, "If he's really going to clean up Gotham, you're definitely not the first. ”
"I think so too."
"I have a way to help you find the mastermind behind it." Lex Luthor said.
"Help me? That's good," Li Zu nodded.
Bang!
The bullet hit Li Zu's chest, Li Zu's legs fell limply in a pool of blood, his eyes widened, and he looked at the female assistant in disbelief, it was she who fired the gun.
A few minutes later, Batman is released by a female assistant.
Batman changed into his equipment, just glanced at Li Zu, whose body was getting cold on the ground, and then looked at Lex Luthor in the computer video.
"Luther...... no one escapes sanctions." Batman seems to be a little upset that he was saved by this bald man.
"Batman, I've helped you, do you want to be so ruthless?" Lex Luthor laughed, "But you're welcome, welcome back...... And, to add, Merry Christmas. ”
"You won't be happy for long." Batman unfolds his glider and rushes out of the window.
