Chapter 580: Meeting
Crime Alley. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This alley is really a very strange place. Truth be told, it's scary, too many people have died here, too many grievances are piling up here. But it seems that it is for the same reason that it is often chosen by fate to witness historic moments again and again.
And because of that, Roy is back here. Maybe it was the detective's instinct that made him instinctively feel that the person he was looking for was here.
Batman seems to believe that the killer is Alfred's father, Jarvis Pennyworth, the former housekeeper of the Wayne family. Jarvis and the Wayne family also have a deep relationship, and it makes perfect sense to say that he did all this. But on the other hand, Jarvis has been gone for years, and all the time, including Alfred and Bruce, felt that he was dead, especially after seeing the letter he left alluding to the Owl Court.
Roy, however, disagreed. Despite not communicating with Batman, he had a thought in his mind that was even more implausible to himself, but all the clues made this bold guess the most plausible. And the next thing he has to do is to verify this guess himself.
As he passed by what seemed to be a crumbling old-fashioned house, he noticed a ladder hanging from the bottom of a balcony.
That's what he's looking for.
Climbing up the ladder and priing open the window with little effort, Roy stepped inside, carefully surveying his surroundings.
The infrared imaging did not capture any images of any person, and it looked like the owner was not at home. It's supposed to be a temporary stop, the furniture looks like it's been recycled from a garbage dump, and the number of broken places on the sofa is staggering. The curtains also seemed to be broken and half of them could not be closed, and the rotten wooden table smelled of must.
But what was extremely inconsistent with these was what Roy saw when he opened the closet, which was full of ammunition, guns, grenades and other munitions.
Crime Alley is a place that is really popular with bombers from all walks of life.
However, he knew where the murderer had gone.
Black Gate Prison.
The black shadow fluttered like a ghost along the deserted corridor—because he walked without the slightest sound.
A terrifying black shadow with a pair of pointed ears was projected through the cell door, standing in front of Carmine Falcone's cell. Falcone, who was lying on the bed tossing and turning, said impatiently: "Batman? Didn't I already tell you everything I could? ”
"Batman" didn't say a word, and the door of the cell seemed to him to be unlocked, and it opened with a "click" with a slight pull.
Falcone realized something was wrong.
"Batman?"
He sat up and asked a tentative question, his pupils instantly contracted with fear, and every pore of his body broke out in a cold sweat. The black bat mark on a red background, and the scarlet eyes are as terrifying as a demon, as if a single sight can penetrate the heart.
"You...... Not Batman. Falcone forced himself to compose himself and asked, "Who are you?" ”
"Batman" said in a death-like voice: "No, I am Batman, I am a revenge knight!" ”
The pitch-black hand reached out from under the cloak and reached out towards Falcone like a grim reaper.
However, another equally pitch-black hand reaches out from the shadows on one side and chokes "Batman's" wrist.
"That's enough." The Winged Knight, who came out of nowhere like a ghost, whispered, "This is not your world, and you have enough to make a fuss...... Thomas. ”
The same Batman outfit, but with wider shoulders and more striking scarlet eyes, is the Thomas Wayne version of Batman that Roy encountered in the erroneously modified timeline.
But why did he appear at this time?
With a flick of his wrist, Thomas made a clever move to break free of Roy's grip on his wrist, and his body spun around, kicking back with a powerful momentum.
Roy pressed down on one elbow and cleared his kick, a knee in return. Thomas, however, moved his leg up to block the trajectory of the knee. He then swung another punch at Roy's face, and the latter saw through the intention first, and at the same time, flashed the punch, and snatched the fist towards the opponent's cheek.
But when he skillfully staggered Thomas's punch and flew forward to grab it with a hook, he was surprised to meet the opponent's other pitch-black back.
It's too late to dodge, so he can only forcibly stop the attack, withdraw his hook back, and protect his face with his super fast reaction speed. With a muffled thud, Roy was knocked back two steps and stopped.
The previous swift punch was just a feint to attract attention, but is this the real intention...... Surprisingly strong, old Mr. Wayne......
"I can understand your vengeance, but ......," Roy toyed with an old-fashioned black pistol at some point, "...... There's no point in ending him without this gun, right? ”
Thomas was secretly shocked, and when he pressed the holster on the side of the belt under his cloak, the pistol was really touched by Roy during the fight just now.
"It's none of your business, Winged Knight." He said coldly, "When that world was on the verge of destruction, the reversed flow of time sucked me in and brought me to this timeline. I thought maybe the letter I brought you back became the medium for the stream of time to judge me as a creature that should be in this time...... Or maybe it's God's arrangement to give me the opportunity to end up with these scumbags. ”
When he turned his head towards Falcone, he was surprised to find that the latter had fallen into a deep sleep. Is it an anesthetic needle? But who hit......
"I'm not here to stop you from killing him." "I'm not going to take drastic measures to finish out a thug like Karmin Falcone myself, but I'm not going to stop anyone else from doing the same. But that doesn't mean, and neither will he. ”
Thomas realized something in an instant. His body suddenly froze as if he had been electrocuted, and he turned his head slowly and tremblingly, and he suddenly saw that the tall black figure, with a bat-shaped headdress similar to his, and the person who was standing there and releasing a majestic and terrifying aura all over his body, also appeared at the door at some point.
It's Batman, the Batman of this world, and his son, Bruce Wayne.
"Cloth ...... Bruce? He asked in a trembling voice, "Yes...... It's you...... Have you grown up......"
There was silence for a long time, and Batman's face was obscured by the shadows of the corridor, completely unseeable.
"Ah, it's me." He finally spoke, "...... Father. (To be continued.) )
