Chapter 171: Fate Reappears

The ground floor is unlit and equally empty. In addition to the common furnishings such as TVs and sofas that can be seen in most homes, there are also several landscape paintings by craftsmen, all of which seem to be handmade.

The two of them went up the stairs to the second floor.

The lights were on on the second floor, but there was no one either. The dazzling lights seemed to be made for the two uninvited guests, illuminating the most visible part of the wall with the words written.

"Found me, good job."

The words of dragon flying and phoenix dancing are carved into the walls, as if to mock the tracker, giving the impression that even at this point, everything is still under his master's control.

Rows of adhesive tape were neatly pasted underneath this line, and a mobile phone with a lit screen was glued to the wall.

Batman tore off the tape, took the phone in his hand and weighed it, opened it and quickly checked it.

"Nothing, except this text message."

Batman said, tossing the phone to Roy. Roy picked up the screen, only to see an inexplicable line of symbols written on the screen, a bit of Latin style.

"Do you recognize what it is?" Batman asked.

Roy frowned and stared at the screen carefully for a long time, then locked the screen, closed his eyes and shook his head: "No, no clue. It's not any kind of writing that I know of, it's probably his own code language, and it's impossible to decipher a self-contained code language without enough samples. ”

Of course, Batman, who is the "greatest detective", knows this.

Batman took the phone and said, "I'll take this back to the Batcave and check it against all the known code patterns in the database to see if I can guess what it means." ”

Roy nodded: "Then you go first." On the way here, Commissioner Gordon called me and asked Roy Green to go to the police station to inquire about another case, which should not be difficult. I'm going to go to the Bat Cave as soon as I'm done. ”

The two went their separate ways. Batman drove his cool Batmobile towards his cave, but Roy didn't head towards the Gotham Police Station.

The batmobiles made their way through the streets to an old-fashioned apartment in Ryker Heights.

The apartment is quite shabby, but as long as the eye is sharp enough. But you can still find many traces of repair and transformation from the appearance. Roy got off his motorcycle and looked up at the tall building, and gradually felt as if it overlapped with the image of another building in his memory.

The same old apartment, similar to the structure of a bungalow built in early China. Even the color of the bricks and tiles on the outside has been restored to be exactly the same as in my memory.

That's right, this is a remake of the last time Roy decided his fate with the Bishop.

Last time, they also met in such an apartment. The bishop used powerful explosives to try to pack them up and blow them up into the sky, but neither of them made it to the sky, but they teamed up to come to the hellish city - Gotham.

Roy lied. True. It is impossible to decipher a self-contained code language script without sufficient samples, but Roy had already obtained enough samples in his previous life. This code word was used by the Bishop in his previous life when he assigned tasks to his subordinates, and it took Roy a day to crack it.

But the bishop also knew that Roy had cracked the code, but he still used this code to leave a message. The only reason he didn't want anyone else - like Batman - to understand it.

The message on the phone conveys a fairly simple message — "A man comes to me and ends our business," followed by a specific address.

The Bishop knew Roy and knew he would go alone. And Roy, sure enough, came alone.

It's his problem, his old enemy. The bishop invited him to come alone and face his fate. If he uses Batman or someone else to help defeat the Bishop at this time, it may become his eternal regret.

As for the Bishop's Church, will it set up an ambush and bury a ton of high explosives in the foundation of the house waiting to blow Roy and the whole house into the sky? Roy was pretty sure he wouldn't. Because he also knows the bishop, he knows that he is the same from the other side's point of view. If you set a trap and easily blow up the worst enemy of your life, it will also be the bishop's eternal regret.

Walking up the second floor with his feet on the squeaky and crushing staircase, Roy discovers that the structure of the room on the second floor is surprisingly similar to that moment.

There are three rooms in the staircase entry. The Bishop hadn't explained which room he was in, but he didn't need to, and Roy pushed open the door on the left-hand side of the stairs without thinking. Sure enough, the bishop was waiting inside.

"I've been waiting for a long time." The Bishop smiled slightly, and said, "When Leland told me that you went to him, I confessed that I was very pleased. It's been a while since I've heard from you. I'm afraid you'll slip away. ”

"We all knew it wasn't going to happen." Roy said.

The bishop smiled and said, "Do you know how much effort it took me to find this place? When I actually found such a place with such a high degree of restoration, even I was taken aback. ”

After a pause, he showed a look of reminiscence: "It's like the old days, right?" ”

In fact, although the "last life" feels like a long time, for the memories of the two, it is only less than a year ago.

"You've gone through a lot of effort to restore it to this point." Roy Road. "And now, what do you want?"

"It's easy," said the bishop, "and it's over. ”

"It's as simple as that?" Roy asked, "I thought the famous Church of the Bishop made things even more ...... There are some levels. ”

The bishop smiled: "We've been fighting for a long time. Last time, I lost to you, but this time I have a unique advantage. You have to admit that it's impossible for you to catch me by any legal means, and I've already won this time, so there's no point in continuing to fight in this area, because this game is over. ”

"So this is the second game of your game?"

"That's probably what it means." "Look," said the bishop, "you have one last resort to win, either kill me, or capture me and imprison me." Right now, I'm standing here, offering you the perfect opportunity to take me down. But at the same time, it's the last thing I'm going to accomplish. ”

"As you know, I've accomplished the highest level I can go. I've not just mastered crime, I've become crime itself. "But it's not as much fun as you might think, and it's painful to finish everything you can challenge." ”

His burning gaze was directed at Roy, his eyes as if they were shining, "So, now I'm going to enjoy my final and most interesting challenge." "To be continued.
