Chapter 8 Actually, I'm from the IRS! (Ask for a subscription, commuter pass)
Zhou Yi walked for a long time, and he didn't wait for Bruce to start acting.
"It's really cautious......" Zhou Yi thought to himself, and took the initiative to walk towards a dark and remote alley.
In Gotham, such alleys are everywhere.
When Zhou Yi walked through the third such alley, Bruce finally acted.
With Zhou Yi's deliberate connivance, Bruce successfully approached Zhou Yi.
"Stand still," Bruce pressed an iron pipe against the back of Zhou Yi's head, pretending to be a pistol.
Zhou Yi cooperated and stopped: "Who are you?" β
"Your reflexes don't seem to be what they're rumored to be in the newspapers." Bruce could say in a low voice.
"In any case, it's always better than a man in black who likes to be masked." Zhou Yi replied.
"How do you know?" Bruce was taken aback.
"There's glass in front." Zhou Yi pointed to a glass wall not far ahead.
The moonlight tonight was bright, so if his eyesight was better, he would indeed be able to see Zhou Yi and Bruce behind him from the glass wall.
Speaking of which, Bruce's current Batman suit is not yet complete, and he has a mask on his head, and his frame has more than doubled in an instant, and he even looks very naΓ―ve.
Bruce: "......"
How to break it if it's so embarrassing?
"Also, you've been with me for a long time, if you don't take action again, I'll take the initiative, sir," Zhou Yi said indifferently, "Put down the steel pipe in your hand, and we'll have a good talk?" β
"You know I'm following you?" Bruce's pupils shrank, "This can't be!" β
Bruce thinks that he has trained from the Shadow Warrior Alliance, and has learned almost all those methods of concealing his whereabouts, so he will not be so easy to see through!
"You've been with me for three streets, do you need me to name them?" Zhou Yi said, "Or ......"
In the blink of an eye, Bruce felt that the steel pipe in his hand was empty, and his heart suddenly became alert, and he was about to take action, but found that a chill had been clinging to the back of his head!
Bruce stiffened, not daring to move, and a trace of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
I don't know when, Zhou Yi disappeared in front of him and appeared behind him!
The problem is, Bruce didn't find out how Zhou Yi did it at all!
"Or maybe I need that to make you realize what I'm capable of, and that you're willing to talk to me instead of engaging in such pointless temptations."
Zhou Yi pushed the wrench in his hand forward, then took it away, bypassed Bruce, and walked forward without looking back, "If you want to say anything, go to my rental room and say it." β
"......" Bruce hesitated for a moment, but still followed.
After a while, Zhou Yi arrived at the rental house, and not long after, Bruce knocked on the door and walked in.
"Sit, I'll make some tea." Zhou Yi pointed to the living room and went to wash the cup and make tea.
Bruce had to pac to the couch and sit upright, without squinting, feeling like a schoolboy who had been punished.
The atmosphere was slightly awkward, for Bruce.
His initial plan was to disguise his identity, and then extract information from Zhou Yi, first figuring out where Zhou Yi came from, whether there was any force behind it, and Zhou Yi's own ability, whether he could be his teammate and change Gotham and other Brabra together.
However, what he didn't expect was that his perfect set of plans would be broken directly from the beginning.
It's not that Zhou Yi doesn't play cards according to the routine, but Zhou Yi's ability completely exceeds Bruce's expectations!
Until now, Bruce has not figured out how Zhou Yi did the action he did before!
Not only is it as fast as a ghost, so that it is impossible for him to react, but it is also silent and does not even bring the wind!
The reason why Bruce followed was not only that he wanted to explain those things clearly to Zhou Yi, as well as to get the information he wanted and invite Zhou Yi to join his actions, but also because he was moved by Zhou Yi's body method.
Coach, I want to learn this too!
Zhou Yi quickly made tea and brought it to the living room: "Gotham actually has this kind of tea, it's an unexpected surprise to me, do you want to have a drink?" β
"You're Chinese," Bruce said, "I saw it on your profile." β
Bruce didn't intend to fall into Zhou Yi's rhythm, so he said "I investigated you" through this sentence, trying to take the right to speak back into his own hands.
"Very good, what else did you investigate?" Zhou Yi nodded, leaned back, the relaxed state of the whole body and the state of Bruce were completely two extremes, but Bruce did not dare to be careless at all.
"The information...... It's all normal, all the documents are valid, but all the people who can prove it are dead," Bruce said, "I've only seen this kind of information on people of one special profession, are you an agent of any organization?" FBIοΌ Or something else? β
"That's it?" Zhou Yi smiled, took a sip of tea, and was not picky, "Don't you drink a little?" Also, don't you think it's a little weird to wear a headgear all the time? β
ββ¦β¦ I don't think it's good for either side to reveal my identity until we get things clear. Bruce's body tensed slightly, worried that Zhou Yi would use force.
To be honest, he is now starting to regret that he came here so recklessly, and he should go back to accumulate strength (get new equipment) before coming over!
"Tsk, it's right to be cautious," Zhou Yi shook his head, "but I already know who you are." β
"......" Bruce chose to remain silent.
Of course he didn't believe it, and even felt that Zhou Yi was talking a trick.
"I haven't taken off my hood in front of you, I haven't revealed my accent, and it's the first time I've seen you, how can you possibly know who I am?" Bruce thought to himself.
Then, he heard Zhou Yi's next sentence.
"I didn't know you still had this habit of fancy dress, and it was even so serious that it was broad daylight...... Oh no, it's time to wear out and go shopping in the dark and windy, Gotham City billionaire, Mr. Bruce Wayne. Zhou Yi took a slow sip of tea, "It's a pleasure to meet you." β
Bruce: "!! β
Bruce was stunned.
He was still thinking about the fact that Zhou Yi would never know his identity, but on the back foot, Zhou Yi said his name so slowly!
It's as if you said, "You had breakfast today!"
"How did he know!" Bruce's heart was filled with turmoil.
ββ¦β¦ How do you know? After two seconds of silence, Bruce couldn't help but ask, "My gear?" Or is it something else? β
Bruce didn't try to disguise, because he knew very well that Zhou Yi could directly name him like this, and he must have known his identity.
Since this is the case, then the disguise is naturally meaningless, and what Bruce wants to know now is how Zhou Yi knew his identity.
After all, Bruce hasn't debuted yet, and the equipment hasn't been collected yet, just thinking about coming to find a few teammates, he was directly seen through by his teammates?
Is this worth it?
After that, Bruce's plan is to make Batman a symbol of Gotham City, so that those gangsters are afraid of themselves, and then dare not break the law and commit crimes!
If it was exposed at the beginning, the plan would not be executed, and the reason why Batman was able to make all the gangsters fear was precisely because of the elusiveness and the secrecy of his identity, so no one could find out, and no one could find the object of revenge, so he could only wait for Batman to make a move, and he was always passive.
That's Bruce's plan.
However, if the identity is revealed, it will all be just a dream.
It is impossible for Bruce to do what Batman does with his original identity, because, in his opinion, those who will die, those gangsters will not be afraid, and only an immortal symbol will make them jealous all the time!
"Your disguise is almost invulnerable, and no one will know who you are unless you take your hood off." Zhou Yi poured himself another cup of tea, "But for a knowledgeable person like me, what you have on you is the factor that exposes you." β
"High-level infantry Normanx life jacket, double layers of bulletproof fibers, reinforced joints, a set of 300,000 US dollars," Zhou Yi pointed to the clothes on Bruce's body and began to use the flicker skill.
"Although it has been modified to a certain extent, I can still recognize it, the only drawback is that it is a little bulky, of course, for someone of your level and mine, this disadvantage is nothing."
"This kind of set, which belongs exclusively to the Department of Applied Science of Wayne Group, has long been discontinued because of cost problems, but some samples were still provided to the military that year, and then transferred to the FBI department."
"So, you're from the FBI?" Bruce finally grasped the information deliberately revealed in Zhou Yi's words.
"No, I'm from the IRS, a senior expatriate agent." Zhou Yi said with a smile, "We went to the FBI to check the accounts once and brought back some souvenirs, and this battle armor is one of them." β
"IRS agents? What are you doing here? Is it a tax audit? Bruce looked confused.
"Don't you know that the harvest of illegal trade is also taxable?" Zhou Yi looked at Bruce with an idiot look, "Do you think, in a situation like Gotham City, those who smuggle arms and sell drugs, there are really people who pay taxes?" β
"They're evading taxes!" Zhou Yi was indignant, "In the United States, only death and paying taxes are eternal, and as an IRS employee, I will never allow them to evade taxes!" β
Bruce: "??? β
You have a point!
So, for a long time, you are here to check the accounts?
