Chapter 573: Scouting

In the dimly lit space, there was not a trace of light, and even the window was pitch black, only the bright moon hanging in the air was the only light source in the night.

The bishop sat at a boxy table with his legs crossed, tapping his knuckles on the table in a particular rhythm, humming a light-hearted tune through his nose. He rested a book of poetry on his high lap, the darkness obviously not stopping him from reading, and he shook his head as he read it, looking quite enjoyable.

Suddenly, he said as if to himself, "Ha, you're back?" I'm guessing you've found the clue? ”

"Expecting your accomplices?"

The bishop looked surprised. He closed the book, turned from the swivel chair, and looked at Eric, who had suddenly appeared in the middle of the dark room.

"I have to admit that you really surprised me this time." "How did you find me?" the bishop said. ”

Eric said lightly: "If you have been observing me as you say, then you should also know that I have been learning and evolving. Your strange spatial travel ability has been used in front of me more than once or twice, and while I can't replicate it, my armor has recorded its characteristics. I just borrowed a Justice League satellite to scan the earth's surface, and by the very unfortunate circumstance, I found that there was an exact energy signal here not long ago. ”

When the bishop heard this, he didn't show the slightest anger, but laughed and said, "Interesting, it is indeed worthy of praise to be able to do this, thank you for your hard work." ”

"Empty compliments or anything are avoided, I'm here to seek answers." Eric said, taking a fighting stance, "Or if you want to do another round, then we might as well skip the and get started." ”

"That sounds like a good idea." The bishop smiled, "I'll wait." ”

Eric's brow furrowed, his footsteps slid back a half-step, and his body bowed slightly, like a cheetah ready to attack. Although the bishop stood calmly in place with his hands under his cloak, he unconsciously exuded a confident and powerful aura. Before the two could fight, invisible sparks were already in the air, and the smell of gunpowder became stronger in the darkness.

But this time, the two did not fight after all. A deep but unquestionable voice sounded from the darkness: "Enough. ”

As soon as he heard this syllable, the bishop breathed, shrugged his shoulders boringly, and said, "Okay, okay, you have the final say." ”

Eric turned his head sideways and was taken aback when he saw the Winged Knight slowly walking out of the darkness: "You guys...... Could it be ......"

"If it were any other situation, I wouldn't mind if you beat this guy up." Winged Knight Roy glanced at the Bishop and said coldly, "But for now, we have common problems that need to be solved. ”

"Okay, then back to my first question." Eric raised an eyebrow and said, "What exactly are we facing?" What's going on in the Wayne Group? ”

"It's not just Wayne Group." "I arrived in this world about a day ago, and I did quite a bit of homework and investigated in my own way. And now, I'm about 80% sure that we're facing a planetary crisis. And I'm 50% sure that the enemy is indeed an old acquaintance of mine. ”

"I told you earlier." The bishop interjected.

"It would be nice to be in more detail." Eric clasped his hands to his chest and said, "It doesn't help me understand much of the current situation. ”

Roy organized his language and said, "First of all, when the bishop came to me, he told me that he had noticed a very strange change in the circulation of resources and goods of many underground forces. I don't trust this guy much, but as a rule of thumb, this guy does have a keen sense of smell in this area, and it's generally accurate. ”

"Is that so? I thought I'd finally earn at least a little bit of your trust. The bishop laughed.

"It's never going to happen." Roy gave him a blank look and continued, "So when I got to this world, I first tried to start my investigation in this direction. Then I found that both the big black and white forces, including large companies like Wayne Enterprises and Stark Industries, have more or less unclear whereabouts or vague path descriptions of the flow of goods. I placed a list of products and orders shipped out of the warehouse within this month from Stark Group, and after comparing them, I found that there were many inconsistencies in the data. To put it simply, there is a part of the product that is mixed in the outbound product, but it disappears in the transaction process. ”

"So someone stole Stark Tek's products?"

"Stark, Wayne, Osborne, and many other cutting-edge technology companies." Roy said, "Although it has not been verified, dark organizations with cutting-edge technology like AIM should not be spared. ”

"After I left, those guys were busy fighting each other, and resource mobilization was frequent. There was no better opportunity to get something out of their hands. The bishop interjected, his tone still tinged with a slight smugness.

"I went to Wayne Corporation and met Bruce Wayne himself." "He looks ...... Very strange. I found a large number of neurological biological machines the size of a virus on his desk, and I thought that a large number of such robots might have invaded his nervous system and turned him into a puppet. I've tried to track him down, but I haven't been able to do so. ”

"Wayne, I noticed it too." "It's a pity that he slipped away." ”

Indeed, Eric met the Bishop in a stronghold on Batman's Naho Island, and at that time, he was tracking the traces of Bruce Wayne, who was the same as himself.

"So the clue is broken." The Bishop paused, glanced at Roy, and smiled, "I guess you're not going to let us down, are you, Detective?" ”

Roy was expressionless and continued: "The cut-off does exist. Although the identity of the guy who stole the products of the major companies has not been determined, I have found out that he must have used three international smuggling syndicates to help him transport them. Earlier, I went to 'visit' the top management of the three groups and got a rough idea of where the stolen products were going. ”

As he spoke, he worked on the wrist of his combat suit glove, and a pale blue screen popped up. The screen shows a huge map with red dots dotted with blue and red arrows and lines between them.

"This is my self-made path flow map, and the points are marked with known technology companies. The red arrows represent the inflow, and the blue represents the outflow," Roy said, "and see what you find." ”

Eric stared at the map for a long time, and couldn't help frowning: "The products that flow out of the major companies seem to be scattered...... Wait, don't tell me this 'LEX' refers to the Lex Group? ”

"Not bad." Roy nodded and said lightly, "It's the branches of the Lex Group around the world." ”
