Chapter 456: Gotham is a dark city
"Wait, Jack!"
Li Yunfeng stopped the other party and asked, "How do you know where Batman's base is?" ”
Jack smiled and said, "I'm his best friend." ”
"Friends?"
Li Yunfeng was still a little incomprehensible, but Jack didn't care so much, and greeted Li Yunfeng directly:
"Let's go, it's already afternoon, and we have to get ready before dark. In today's situation, God knows how many cases will happen tonight. ”
Jack's car was left in the garage, and after the two got into the car, Jack drove his car out of the manor, along the city road, and sped north.
Although Li Yunfeng had been to Gotham City before, and now this is the second time he has set foot in the city, he has to admit that the weather here is terrible, and even in the afternoon, when the sun should be shining, the day is still gray.
"So, Gotham is a dark city."
Jack seemed to see through Li Yunfeng's thoughts, and while driving, he said, "It's not just the sky, look at the passers-by around, how do you feel?" ”
Li Yunfeng looked through the car window at the passers-by on the street, they were walking on the road, but there was no hope in their eyes.
"The city is sick."
I only heard Jack say: "There are more and more crimes, and there are fewer and fewer good people, look at the people around you, their eyes are so empty......"
Li Yunfeng quietly listened to Jack's narration of all this, in the latter's mouth, I don't know when, the city of Gotham was shrouded in dark forces, and began to degenerate, and there were more and more monster madmen, fortunately, Batman was born, constantly fighting against those monsters and madmen, trying to slow down the speed of the city's degeneration.
"However, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Batman is just a person, he has life, old age, sickness and death, sooner or later, Batman will not appear in Gotham again, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly!"
Speaking of this, Jack couldn't help but sigh, looking very sorry.
At this moment, Li Yunfeng suddenly asked, "Jack, what kind of disease does Gotham have?" ”
"I ...... It's not clear either. Lee, maybe you can take this opportunity to take a good look with your own eyes to see what kind of disease this city is suffering from. ”
As soon as the words fell, the surrounding environment suddenly darkened, and at this moment, Li Yunfeng suddenly noticed that the person sitting in the driver's seat was white-faced and bloody-lipped, and he kept laughing......
"Lee, what's wrong with you?"
Suddenly, the light lit up, and Jack was looking at Li Yunfeng with strange eyes and asked, "Why are you staring at me?" Do I have anything on my face? ”
Li Yunfeng rubbed his eyes with his hand and said, "No, no, it's nothing. ”
Jack's face was very normal, there was nothing unusual, Li Yunfeng only thought that it was an illusion caused by the residual poison in his body, and he didn't care too much.
Moreover, Li Yunfeng also noticed that the sudden change in the surrounding environment before was actually caused by Jack driving the car into the tunnel.
"When we left the tunnel, we left Gotham City Center and came to the northern outskirts, where we were going, Wayne Manor."
"Wayne Manor? It's Bruce Wayne's home! ”
In Li Yunfeng's hometown of No. 1 Earth, his company, Tang Group, is cooperating with the Wayne Group in the United States, and the president of the Wayne Group, Bruce Wayne, also came to Huahai City in person to discuss business with Li Yunfeng's boss Tang Qingyue.
As a result, Li Yunfeng was fortunate to meet Bruce a few times and knew something about him. Although here, it is not Earth One, but it is also a parallel world of Earth, so many things are roughly the same and will not change much.
So here's the question:
"Jack, are you going to ask for Mr. Wayne's help?"
Li Yunfeng's words, from his point of view, there is no problem, Bruce Wayne is the richest person in Gotham, and the United States is a capitalist country, and having the support of the wealthy basically means that you can get everything.
However, after hearing this, Jack smiled: "Lee, do you think that if Mr. Wayne was normal, he would sit back and watch his city fall into crisis?" ”
"Is Mr. Wayne all right?"
Li Yunfeng was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What does this mean?" ”
"Listen up, Lee, although this message sounds like I made it up, Bruce Wayne is Batman."
As soon as Jack's words fell, the car drove out of the tunnel, and Li Yunfeng, who heard such a bombshell news, also opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak at all!
Is Bruce Wayne Batman?
What a concept!
Just like Tang Qingyue is a superwoman, it's incredible.
You must know that people born in a wealthy family like them are descendants of the family, and their living environment is naturally extremely superior.
And such a person, would it be a guy wearing a mask, a uniform, and a cloak on his back, who rushed out into the street in a plane at night and beat people?
"Lee, it's unbelievable."
Jack enjoyed Li Yunfeng's surprised expression very much, and then said: "However, you are much better than me, because I couldn't help but laugh out loud after discovering this fact." ”
"Who would believe that Bruce Wayne, the richest man in Gotham City, would actually be Batman."
As he spoke, the car had already left the road and turned into a downhill slope, and Li Yunfeng's eyes noticed that there was a sign erected on the side of the road:
"The Wayne family's private domain."
Wayne Manor, it's coming soon.
Retracting his gaze, Li Yunfeng asked Jack: "Jack, Batman's identity should be a secret, why do you know so clearly?" ”
Jack laughed, "I'm a friend of Batman, so I know these things." Ah, of course, it has something to do with my early strayed into his base, the Batcave. ”
As he spoke, Jack's car stopped at the door of a large manor.
"Wayne Manor."
Li Yunfeng looked at the door number and said, "This is Batman, Bruce Wayne's home, but with his current situation, it is obvious that we can't enter through the gate." ”
"Yes, Batman is crazy and not at the manor."
Jack turned the steering wheel and said, "Although I know that in Batman's residence, there is indeed a secret passage to the Batcave, but outsiders like us can't open the secret passage mechanism, so we can only take another way." ”
With that, Jack stepped on the gas pedal and drove along the walls of Wayne Manor towards the mountains behind the manor.
A few minutes later, Jack pulled over in front of a waterfall in the mountains.
"We're here."
Jack turned off the engine and stopped, pointed to the waterfall and said, "The Bat Cave, just behind the waterfall." ”
"Actually, Batman has many secret bases in Gotham City, but his first and most core base is this Batcave that connects to his ancestral home."
While talking, Jack and Li Yunfeng, who were holding flashlights, had already gotten out of the car and came to the waterfall.
"It's a little dark inside, so follow me."
As soon as the words fell, Jack skillfully rushed into the waterfall, and then turned on the flashlight to illuminate, but unfortunately the bat cave was too dark, and the light of the flashlight alone could only illuminate the distance of a few meters in front of him, until a dazzling light came from behind him and illuminated the entire cave.
"Lee, what's that?"
Jack said as he turned off his flashlight, it was useless.
"You mean that?"
Li Yunfeng pointed to the blooming light between the keyholes on his forehead, and did not hide it: "This is my friend in the other world, and the infinite light given to me is very useful for lighting." ”
"yes."
Jack nodded numbly and said, "Lee, you can always surprise me." ”
Li Yunfeng just smiled: "Let's go, Jack, take me to Batman's base." ”
Immediately, the two continued to move forward, perhaps because of Li Yunfeng's light harassment, they encountered a lot of bats flying towards them along the way, so that Li Yunfeng had to weaken the intensity of some light......
"We're here!"
Soon, Jack saw a light not far ahead, and said, "That's the light of the base." ”
Batman's base, of course, is installed with a permanent lamp, which will always be on even if he himself is not there.
Seeing that the destination was in front of him, Li Yunfeng was also very happy, but: "Jack, hasn't Batman installed any alarm system here?" What if outsiders break in? ”
Although in many film and television works, the alarm system is depicted as a device that will ring loudly and make an earth-shattering sound once triggered.
But in fact, many alarm systems don't make any noise, they just notify the relevant personnel that there is a situation, such as the alarm system in the bat cave.
"Don't worry."
Jack looked back and smiled: "Batman himself is not here, even if the alarm system is activated, no one will look at it." ”
Jack's reasoning is not unreasonable, but are the facts really what he thinks?
After a few more minutes, the two finally arrived at the base...... In front of a large iron door in front of him, and more importantly, looking at the iron door in front of him, Jack expressed great surprise:
"How is this possible? The last time I visited, the iron door wasn't closed! ”
For Li Yunfeng, it is not difficult to open the iron door in front of him, such as the keyhole light on his forehead, which can easily cut the iron door, but what he wants to know is:
"Could it be that Batman is back?"
But Jack's answer was, "No way!" With Batman's current condition, it's impossible to come back! ”
"Do you mean ......?"
At this time, Li Yunfeng had already thought of the most terrifying possibility:
"The Laughing Bat is here!"
The Laughing Bat is another Batman in a parallel world, and of course he knows all the secrets of Batman, so it is not difficult to come to this Bat Cave.
Even Jack agrees with Li Yunfeng's reasoning: "Li, if the Laughing Bat is really here, then it's up to you." ”
"Leave it to me!"
As he spoke, Li Yunfeng had already raised his right hand and condensed the blue flame, he wanted to burn through this iron gate, enter the base, and then catch the laughing bat.
"Who are you?"
But at this moment, a low shout came from behind him, Li Yunfeng turned around vigilantly, and took the initiative to protect Jack behind him, looking at the place where the voice came from.
Two Shadows......
