Chapter 134: Batman Serum
One of the benefits of Titan Venom is that it can help you recover faster than the average person. Roy just took a nap and felt much better. With a little more painkillers, it shouldn't make a big difference to strike again.
There was no bed in the base, so he just used a clean table as a bed for a while. He jumped down from the table and asked Barbara, who was busy at the table next to him, "What did you find?" ”
"Hmm...... I studied the blood you brought back and analyzed the ingredients of the medicine in it. Barbara said, "Aside from some of the ingredients that have not yet been discovered, the main ingredient of the reagent he drank should be the serum of the Batman." ”
"Batman?" Roy thought for a moment, "I seem to have seen it in the GCPD database, but I'm not very impressed, let's talk about it." ”
Barbara dialed up the file she had prepared for a long time onto the screen. A resume was displayed on the computer, and the name field was filled with "Kirk? Longstrom", attached to the photo shows a brown-haired man in a white coat, smiling softly at the screen.
Barbara introduced, "Kirk? Langstrom, who was once a leader in both biology and chemistry, was a genius. He devoted his life to a great study – to solve today's blind problem by studying the ultrasound positioning capabilities of bats. But...... You know, the cliché of a lab accident, where he used a test reagent on himself, and of course it failed—he turned himself into a humanoid batamonster more than six feet tall. ”
"But he's been dealt with." Roy said, "Wasn't the serum destroyed?" ”
"That's how it should have been." Barbara continued, "Batman reversed the effects of the serum, created an antidote, reversed Dr. Longstrom's mutation, and destroyed all the serum and recipes, leaving only the last backup to be destroyed. ”
"Kirk? Dr. Longstrom's brain. Roy quickly understood.
Barbara nodded: "Yes, a few years ago, the Doctor was kidnapped by the Assassin League, and the Alliance forced him to recreate the serum sample and mass-produce it to create an army of human bat ninjas, hey, I still remember it, it was a nightmare." All members of the Bat family tried their best to resist this army, and in the end, it was Batman who saved everything again. ”
"So Okeville can only get the serum through a deal with the Assassin Alliance." Roy said, "Then we can only pray that the Assassin League does not wade into this troubled water, otherwise it will only complicate things even more." However, we now know that Okevir's mutation is reversible, so we just need to find someone who can make the antidote. Kirk? Where is Dr. Longstrom now? ”
"I expected you to ask that." Barbara smiled and said, "Dr. Longström and his wife, Francine, have a property in Kington that he has lived there since his release a year ago, and we should be able to find him there." ”
Dr. Longström's home was unoccupied at this time. The winged knight and the batgirl pulled open the door from the balcony and stepped into the dark room, both of them turning on their night vision devices to observe.
"Looks like this is their bedroom." Barbara said.
This could not be more obvious. Double bed, bedside table and wardrobe, typical bedroom furniture.
Roy glanced at the white double bed and said, "No one has slept on this bed for more than two days." ”
"So they'd better not go out of town at this critical moment." Barbara said, changing her words again, "Oh, no, they don't even lock the balcony door. ”
The two moved from the bedroom to the living room to the study, where Roy stopped.
Barbara followed his gaze and saw a small dressing box next to a few academic books on bats on her desk.
"A vanity box?" Barbara asked curiously, "What's wrong with it?" ”
"Ms. Francine is clearly not a woman who likes to dress up." "The sources say she's Dr. Longstrom's right-hand man, and most of the women who do scientific research based on experience aren't very fond of dressing up." Besides, there is not even a dresser in this room, and several clothes on the hangers can already smell that they have not been washed for a long time. So it's strange in itself that a vanity box – and obviously a high-end type for women – is abruptly here. ”
When Barbara nodded thoughtfully, Roy had already taken the box in his hand and said, "And for a dresser, it's the heaviest I've ever seen." In general, excess weight will always mean ......"
Roy tinkered with the small box for a while, and by the time he got there, he had already slid a rotating mezzanine from the side: "...... There's something hidden in there. ”
Barbara glanced at it: "A USB flash drive?" ”
"Why does this doctor have a USB stick hidden in his house? Quite intriguing, isn't it? Roy rubbed his hands together and looked at the desktop computer by his desk with a little excitement, "I guess the owner won't mind if I use his computer." ”
Dr. Longström's personal computer, of course, was passwordd, but Barbara was able to get it in a moment. The computer quickly read out the contents of the USB stick.
Barbara opened the USB flash drive, and the folder was full of photos. Barbara clicked on one and quickly flipped it back, revealing that it was full of photographs taken by Dr. Longström and his wife on a trip, each of which looked very happy and content, but otherwise there seemed to be nothing out of the ordinary.
"I don't understand." Barbara shrugged, "Why did they hide a USB stick full of travel photos of the two of them so hidden?" Is it true that the husband and wife are still not seeing the light of day when they go on a trip? ”
Roy glanced twice from behind her shoulder and reminded, "Space capacity." ”
Barbara noticed the space capacity of the USB flash drive, "oops", and patted her head and said, "Oh! Silly girl! I didn't even expect that! How is it possible for a few photos to occupy a dozen gigabytes? ”
Layer Encryption. Roy said lightly.
Barbara nodded, "Not bad." ”
She said that she had already operated it quickly, and after a while, she cracked the encryption of the USB flash drive, and successfully accessed the information hidden inside the USB flash drive.
"Oh, look at this, there's so much stuff hidden underneath...... Barbara said, her voice lowered, and after a moment, she added, "I think I seem to know why Madame Francine hid this USB stick in front of her husband." ”
Roy followed her through the papers, and it was already clear: "Tsk, the pillow man who has lived with Dr. Longstrom for so many years is actually a commercial spy planted by Cardwell Industries' side." ”
