One Gotham City.

The clock has turned, and for most cities it's time to go to sleep, but for Gotham, it's the climax of the day.

Two young men in checkered ran wildly down the sparsely populated street, as if they were dying, and from time to time they looked back at the deserted street, as if there were jackals and beasts chasing after them. The two turned into a dark alley, squatted down behind a black garbage can, and gasped violently.

One of them tried to calm his breath and said, "Do you think we got rid of him?" ”

Another said: "I think maybe." ”

"But that's Batman! Do you know anyone who escaped from him? ”

The two of them stopped talking, but their hearts became more and more flustered, and at this time, the darkness in the alley seemed to be a hidden murderous motive in their eyes, and they were indifferent and ruthless.

They were just two robbers in the way, they had never robbed anything of particular value, and the most valuable thing they had ever grabbed in their careers was a few thousand dollars of watch. And tonight they were very unlucky to bump into the night patrol Batman. When the two of them found that the huge bat shadow was cast on the wall by the moonlight, they were immediately frightened, and they ran away without any intention of resisting, and fled until they stopped here.

After only twenty seconds after the two of them were in the dumpster, they felt as if they had survived the whole night, and one of them couldn't help but whisper, "I don't think he's coming." Look, we didn't make any big mistakes, we can't be on Batman's blacklist."

As he said this, there seemed to be a slight strange sound behind him, and then a cold wind blew, pouring into his necks, making both of them tremble, staggering and jumping up, hitting the trash can and falling to the ground. The two turned around and saw a dark shadow in the alley standing against the wall, looking at the two leisurely.

Only a dozen seconds later, Batman chased after him. By the time he fell, both criminals had been packed and strapped unconscious. He frowned slightly, raised his arm and shot his hook into the air, flying up to the roof. Eric was sitting on the water tank on the roof, waiting for him to come up.

Batman asked coldly, "What are you here for?" ”

"Don't get excited," Eric said, "I didn't mean to do anything with you, I just took care of those two minions just so I could talk to you as soon as possible." ”

"What are you talking about?"

"I need your help."

Batman's white eyepiece moved, but did not speak. Eric continued: "Maybe we don't have a great relationship, but anyway, we're teammates, so it's not too much to do a small favor, right? ”

"It depends on what kind of busyness it is."

"Dr. Anthony Ivo." Eric, "Aegis discovered that he had been working for the Lex Group during his disappearance, continuing the development of the Yamozhuo project. And it is said that he has achieved some results now, but he has disappeared from the Lex Enterprise, and a new sub-Mojo robot may be born, which should be enough to attract the attention of the Dark Knight, right? ”

Batman groaned for a while and said, "But Aegis is already checking, isn't it?" ”

"But it's not as efficient as you." "In fact, we already know that Dr. Ivo injected himself with the submojo virus and modified his body. So if you're willing to borrow the 'Brother's Eye' system for me, it should be much faster."

"Nope." Batman cut the rails.

Brother's Eye is a super-satellite built by Batman that is used to spy on all superpowered people on Earth, whether heroes or villains. However, he later used the Brother's Eye during an emergency, and the rest of the Justice League became aware of its existence, and the members of the Alliance, who learned that his every move was being watched by Batman, were rightly upset that the Brother's Eye function was shut down after everyone voted to decide.

Of course, Eric knew that Batman wouldn't compromise that easily. Although the satellite function has been temporarily turned off, its memory is still intact and functional. This is one of Batman's countless hole cards, and he will be prepared for any situation, and certainly will not discard this card so easily.

Eric said, "Didn't you build the 'Brother's Eye' system for this kind of moment?" If Dr. Ivo builds another sub-Mordron machine, you know what the consequences will be. ”

"I'll keep an eye on Ivo, but it's not time to use my brother's eyes." "This system is just as dangerous, especially not for people I don't trust. ”

"You don't trust anyone. ”

"Perhaps, but especially not trusting you." Batman said.

The atmosphere became slightly awkward, and the two looked at each other for a long time without speaking, until a communication request came from inside Batman's helmet. He turned around, pressed his headset and asked, "Penny One, what's going on?" ”

Eric knows that "Penny One" is the code name for Batman's butler, Alfred, and is in charge of his logistics inside the Batcave. I only heard Alfred's voice coming from inside the headphones: "Emergency, sir, it's Arkham Asylum." ”

"Arkham? What's wrong with it? ”

"Details are not yet known, but Sheriff Gordon has mobilized all riot police and is now on the scene, but it still doesn't seem to be able to break through." Alfred said, "There is chaos within Arkham, and the cause is unknown for this reason. ”

"Got it, I'm on my way."

Batman hung up the communication, walked to the edge of the rooftop, and said, "I'll keep an eye on Ivo when I have time, and I still have important things to do." ”

"Arkham?" Eric watched him jump off the roof and get into the Batmobile, hovering in the side of the vehicle, "You know I can help. ”

Batman said lightly: "This is my business." ”

With that, he closed the door, started the engine and sped away. Unimpressed, Eric hoisted behind his car and flew with him towards Arkham Asylum.

Located on the outskirts of Gotham, Arkham Asylum is nominally an asylum, but as described in the original game, it is one of the highest-security prisons in the world. Interestingly, despite such a high level of security systems and measures, the rate of prisoner riots and escapes remains high and remains among the best in the world, which is somewhat comical.

When the Batmobile stopped outside the door, Chief Gordon of the Gotham Police Station had been waiting outside with someone for a long time. Batman walked quickly behind Gordon and asked, "How's it going?" ”

"It's too bad that I sent two teams in and didn't hear back, and I didn't even figure out what was going on inside." Gordon said, glancing back, stunned, and asked, "That's your teammate?" ”

Batman glanced back and saw that Eric was still following behind, and couldn't help frowning, and said, "No, he was just passing by, don't pay attention." ”

Gordon nodded a little strangely, he really couldn't figure out these superhero matters, so he turned to say: "I have a bad premonition, I think this time may not be as simple as before, no matter what is happening in Arkham, it may be beyond the scope of our dealing." Either way, it's better to be careful. ”

Batman nodded, stepped forward and said, "Just let your people stand back, Jim, and I'll take care of the rest." ”
