Chapter 266: Do you remember the suitcase on the shore of Daming Lake?
While I don't mind playing Batman: Arkham Knight from a perspective that is more first-person than first-person, and more VR than VR, as he said before - if you're good at one thing, don't do it for free. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThis is the most Westernized value after Zorro's soul is pierced.
"So, what do I get?"
Barbara rolled her eyes again. She was not surprised that her mentor, who had all three views, would say such a thing.
"It reminds me of a question I've always wanted to know. What did you get out of training me to be the way I am and making me Batgirl? ”
As a result, someone shamelessly responded, "I got you." ”
Barbara rolled her eyes for the third time.
"Enough! If you want to flirt, now is not the right time! A gradually increasing background sound, and Zorro could hear that it was the voice of the old butler Ah Fu. Immediately after, Barbara's phone arrived in Ah Fu's hand. The latter also continued to speak in a serious tone: "Mr. Zorro, I think you should remember the agreement between Master Bruce and you. ”
Hearing this, Zorro was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.
"Wait, I've never had any agreement with your master." He put on a disgusted attitude, "It's you who unilaterally asked me for help." And I've helped you solve the last crisis of confidence in Batman among the citizens of Gotham, and foiled the Joker's plot to shuffle the Gotham underground and redivide Gotham. Most importantly, I didn't receive even a penny from you that time! ”
The old housekeeper was stagnant for a while, and finally eased up.
"But the suitcase that the master left for you ......"
It turned out that he didn't say this, but as soon as he said this, Zorro thought of the shock he had when he opened the suitcase, and then he wanted to explode.
"I'll just ...... Forget it, I'll just say it, I now think that the suitcase—at least the contents of it—wasn't left behind by Bruce Wayne at all! ”
"It can't be!" The old butler immediately responded, "I followed the clues left by the master to find this suitcase that was well hidden and almost impossible to be dropped, and kept it myself until I handed it over to you personally." And you've confirmed that only you and the master can open that suitcase......"
Zorro shook his head: "I didn't say the suitcase was dropped." What I want to say is...... Are you sure that note you found, or that letter or something, was really left by your grandfather? ”
"How can I not be sure, it is the master's handwriting......" At this, the old butler himself was stunned. When he spoke again, his tone was much more solemn. "I have nothing to confirm except the handwriting, and the letter has been burned. Do you have something in mind? ”
"I've thought about it so much!" Zorro exhaled heavily, "You answer me a few questions first." Are there any other servers for Bruce Wayne besides those in the Batcave? ”
The old butler thought for a moment and replied in the negative: "As far as I know, no." ”
"Did he keep some important data on flash memory or portable hard disk or cloud disk or satellite or something?"
The old butler thought for a moment: "I don't think there are the latter two. And even if the first two exist, I don't know. ”
Zorro also groaned: "Then there should be none." By the way, did he tell you about the Watchmen? Have you ever heard of Dr. Manhattan and the Pharaohs? ”
This time, the old butler's answer was very quick: "No!" ”
Zorro was not surprised by this answer, but naturally asked, "The night owl is still with you." Ask him if he knows the three names I just mentioned. ”
Again, the answer is no. The old butler said that when the night stalker was asked if he knew about the Watchman, the Manhattan Doctor, and the Pharaoh, the night stalker looked completely confused.
Zorro wasn't too surprised.
He had asked the night owl if he knew Rorschach before, and the night owl was also at a loss. You must know that in the memories brought by his soul piercing, Night Stalker and Rorschach are friends, and they are the more iron kind. In addition, Night Stalker and Rorschach, along with Dr. Manhattan and Pharaoh, are members of DC's superhero team Watchmen in their previous lives. And now it seems that there is obviously no such relationship between the two of them. Zorro also looked up that there were several organizations or groups called "Watchdog" in this world, and he also paid attention to those with different spellings but translated into similar meanings or meanings, such as "Overwatch", which can also be translated as "Overwatch", and "Watchdog", a more radical watchdog, etc., but none of them had anything to do with the Watchdog that Zorro knew. In addition, there has never been a doctor in this world who was physically annihilated due to an accident in a quantum conversion experiment, but accidentally obtained a super power like a god.
What's more, after taking over the so-called suitcase that Bruce Wayne had left for him from Afu, he had entered the supercomputer in Bruce Wayne's bat cave, looked through all kinds of superficial and hidden contents, and even considered the password code, etc., but found no information related to the watchman. At the time, he guessed that the suitcase was not really from Bruce Wayne. By now, this guess is almost certain.
Because inside the suitcase, there is a single hand-drawn Warden poster of Dr. Manhattan! Dr. Manhattan's blue figure is on the center right of the poster, and the column of letters on the left that make up the "Watchmen" is also quite prominent.
If it's the weirdest thing to say that the poster of Dr. Manhattan's Watcher, who doesn't appear in this world, was given to Zorro in the name of Bruce Wayne and Afu's hand, then try this - on the back of the poster, there is another poster. This poster has only four letters on it, except for the dense and countless colorful flooded vertical lines.
L, U, C, Y (Lucy)!
You can imagine how surprised Zorro was when he first opened his suitcase and saw the thing.
Like Dr. Manhattan, Zorro found no trace of Lucy's presence - or the superbody - anywhere, either the person or the event. Neither Dr. Manhattan nor Lucy had any intention of telling anyone. He's written a program that's basically searching the web 24/7 with a few keywords. Until there are more clues, he prefers to "go with the flow" and wait for the person who gave him this suitcase to show up. And now when he asked Ah Fu those questions on the phone, in addition to further confirming his guesses, Zorro was more clarifying when Ah Fu took Bruce Wayne again.
"Some of the details are inconvenient to tell you, but I can assure you that the suitcase is not Bruce Wayne's." He said earnestly to Ah Fu on the other end of the phone, "So, if you want me to play Batman again, you'd better prepare two payments - make up for the last one." ”
"The problem is, you haven't completed your last commission yet!" This time it wasn't Ah Fu, it was the injured Catwoman's weak voice that came over, "You were only a Batman for a short time last time, and the results were not very good." Although it is said that the crisis against Gotham was thwarted in the end, Bruce was still not recovered...... Yes, I know you'd say that. It's true that we're here to find Bruce, but the key point, when did you wear Bruce's suit and appear in public? No! And this one is within the agreement! ”
Zorro was speechless for a moment.
