Snow.

It is a mountain covered with snow all year round, and at any time of the year, there is always snow on the top of the mountain. The cold, biting wind blew a loud trumpet in the white, empty valley, like the whisper of a god who controls the wind and snow.

On a snow-colored mountainside, a small black dot was slowly moving upward.

Batman tied his cloak around his waist to keep his cloak from fluttering in the wind. He stepped on the rock protrusions, his hands grasped the crevices of the rocks, and he walked up against the strong wind.

Behind him was a bottomless valley, and if he was not careful, he would fall headlong into the abyss and be crushed to pieces. Due to the howling winds, even his gliding cloak could hardly save his life.

Why did Batman come all the way here?

As he expected, it didn't take long for Talia to be snatched away, and the people of Lei Xiaogu sent a message, and they really had to admire this Assassin alliance in terms of efficiency.

A sword from the League of Assassins was inserted into one of the servers of the Batcave computer, leaving behind the exact location of a snowy peak far to the east, and there was still a time.

This is the invitation that Lei Xiaogu arranged to meet.

After hours of climbing snowy peaks at the limit of human fitness, he made it to the top. He climbed from the edge and unfastened his cloak.

There was also snow all over the mountaintop, and there were a few snowflakes in the sky at an untimely time.

The top of the mountain was already full of ninjas dressed in black from head to toe. They carried swords on their backs, lined up in two neat lines, and made way for a sandwich. In the cold wind, everyone stood straight and immovable, a concentration and endurance that even the best soldiers could match.

Batman strode along the path awayed by the ninjas on either side, without glancing.

Lei Xiaogu had been waiting here for a long time. He sat shirtless, cross-legged in the snow, with a cold sword stuck in the snow beside him. Flying snowflakes fell on his hair and beard, but he was also motionless, like a master of Nirvana.

Batman walked up to him. Lei Xiaogu slowly raised his head and opened his eyelids.

"Detective, where did you take my daughter?" Lei Xiaogu asked slowly.

"A safe place." Batman replied lightly, "I won't do anything to her." As long as you answer my questions honestly. Lately someone has been teaching my enemies new ways to target me, and I happen to have discovered in Edward Nigma's body a chemical compound that can only be found in your Lhasalous pool. Tell me it's not a coincidence. ”

"You think I'm targeting you?" Lei Xiaogu raised his eyebrows lightly and asked.

"Someone who knows my secrets, and knows this level about me, sounds like you're a good fit." Batman said.

Lei Xiaogu shook his head lightly: "It's not me." Detective. I have never been afraid to admit anything I have done, even something that now seems wrong and despicable. But this time, I didn't do it. ”

"Who's that?" Batman asked, "Why did the ingredients of Lhasalus Pool appear on Nigma?" ”

"I wish I could answer you, but unfortunately I can't."

Lei Xiaogu said this, stood up, pulled out the sword in the snow beside him with one hand, and raised his arm to point the tip of the sword at Batman.

"As much as my daughter loves you — and that's one of the big reasons why I've never done anything to you, today your behavior cannot be tolerated." Lei Xiaogu's gaze was fierce, like a cheetah. "No one can touch my daughter even a finger. For this, you have to pay the price! ”

Winged Knight Stronghold.

Talia sat in a metal chair with her hands firmly tied behind her back.

In order to prevent her from easily breaking away with some breaking away techniques, Roy used Batman's own way of binding, which made it much more difficult to escape.

However, as the daughter of a ninja master, it is of course impossible to be helpless with just a piece of rope, and she still has the means to break free. This is one of the reasons why Batman asked someone to watch her, with Roy and Barbara here to watch all day, her slightest movement will be exposed.

Talia seemed to understand, too, and simply didn't try. As a prisoner. Tied to a chair, she struck up a conversation with the two guards.

"You feel different." She looked Roy up and down for a moment and said, "Well, what do you say? Looking stronger than last time? The aura also seems to be stronger. You've improved a lot, I can feel it. Look, what did I say last time? Your potential is endless. Join us. You will be further developed, and you will be able to achieve great things that are far beyond the ordinary. The last time you rejected me, this time I want you to think more carefully. ”

Without waiting for Roy to reply, Barbara, who was busy working in front of the computer, sneered: "This time you are tied, and you are even less convincing than last time." ”

Talia chuckled, "You're his assistant, right?" Isn't it too beautiful as a partner? ”

Barbara chuckled back, "I've also heard of a woman brazenly pursuing Batman for decades. So far, it hasn't worked. ”

"You don't understand." Talia shrugged indifferently, "He's my love, just like I did to him." Maybe he didn't want to admit it, but he knew in his heart that it was the case. ”

"Oh? I've heard something different. You know what? There are more women around Batman who think the same way as you than I can count. Barbara laughed, "I bet you can't even name them."

Talia's face changed slightly.

Barbara stood up triumphantly as if she had triumphed: "I'll go out and breathe, and you guys will talk slowly." ”

Watching her back disappear into the doorway, Talia turned to Roy, "Let's be honest, if my father really finds me here and sends someone to rescue me, you have absolutely no chance of winning." ”

"Not necessarily, you can only know everything by trying, right?"

"Not everything."

Two minutes later, there was a muffled noise at the gate.

Roy looked alarmingly in the direction of the gate.

"Bang!"

The two doors slammed open, and Batgirl's cloak spread out and flew in upside down like a kite with a broken string, smashing a table in two.

Roy hurriedly stepped forward, picked up Barbara, who was in a mess and the corners of her mouth were full of blood, and asked with concern, "Xiaoba?" ”

Barbara coughed twice, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of her mouth, and struggled to squeeze a few words out between her teeth: "Beware of Siva"

The moment he heard these two words, Roy's pupils also closed.

When he turned his gaze back to the door, a woman in a tight red power suit, with a delicate appearance and an inviolable aura all over her body, was standing there.

Ms. Siva! (To be continued.) )
