Bruce leaves, refusing Roy's help.

However, he left Roy with an ominous premonition, and his words were almost as if he was explaining the aftermath, indifferently and calmly telling Roy that he was about to die, and simply explaining that he hoped that someone would continue to take care of Gotham.

It feels like a dying father entrusting his child.

Is Bruce a metaphor for wanting Roy to take Batman's place?

Roy had no such intention at all. Batman is Bruce Wayne, a legend he created, not something heaped with equipment and money. No one else will simply take over that identity by putting on a cloak.

Roy doesn't think he can be Batman, and he doesn't want to be either. If he puts on that cloak, then he becomes a cosplayer, not as himself, and he is not willing to live as a person who is not himself.

But so far, it's just a matter of thinking. Although as Batman, Bruce is ready to die every day, but it is not by luck that he has endured countless trials to survive to this day, and he can always find a way out.

This time, it will definitely be able to.

Continuing to focus on what was at hand, Roy began to walk down the street with a picture of the missing Kyle Frakes. Those who are wandering and have no place to live, their eyes are natural surveillance, and maybe someone sees something important.

There were quite a few people who recognized Frakes, but unfortunately no one saw him on the night he disappeared.

It wasn't until he reached the bottom of a bridge in Kingston that the man lying under the bridge offered something of value.

"I'm sorry, I haven't met this person." The man said, pausing, and asked, "You say you're a detective?" ”

"Sort of," Roy said, "before he was captured in this broken city, yes." ”

"So why look for this person in particular? Do you know? ”

"Nope." Roy said, "His friend entrusted me. What's wrong? ”

"No, nothing." "It's just a pleasure to have occasional people who care about our lives or deaths." You know, there's been a lot of missing people this week, and you're the first to ask questions. ”

"What? Do you know someone else is missing? ”

"Yes," the man said firmly, "it happens almost every night. In the alley on the other side of the bridge, there was a poor worm who slept. But he disappeared a day ago, and I haven't seen him for more than twenty-four hours. And over there, more than twenty paces away from here, there was a wandering cripple a few days ago, but I haven't seen it at all in the past few days. I don't believe he suddenly hit the ground running into a big deal and found a place to hide from the rain. It's just someone I know, if you don't believe me, ask Joyce on the other side of the bridge, and he'll prove to you that I'm telling the truth. ”

Roy frowned.

Sure enough, this is not a single incident, and organized and planned kidnappings are quietly taking place in Arkham City. But who did it? Why? And on what basis did they choose people? Is it random? Or is there any connection between the people who were arrested?

"Hope you find them." The man said, "Every day people disappear, but no one has been in charge of it before, and no one has even asked." I guess after Arkham City's plan to help the mayor rise to the top of the mountain, he simply forgot about us and left us to fend for ourselves. ”

"It won't be long." Roy said lightly.

Since it is a serial incident, the breakthrough can be found from the contact of the victim. If any connection between the victims is discovered, it may be possible to find out why they were arrested.

Luckily, he has some data downloaded from Stevich's back room, which is always a huge help in this kind of work. He was soon able to identify the other two missing persons, and found what the three known missing persons had in common through their personal files registered in Arkham City.

As mentioned earlier, Kyle Frakes is a veteran who has been through the war and his mental state is not optimistic. The other two had a history of mental illness in the archival analysis.

However, considering that half of the patients in Arkham City are from the original Arkham Asylum, this is probably not a coincidence. But Roy couldn't find anything else in common in the files of these three unrelated people, and that was the only clue.

This gave him an idea, if successful, he might be able to figure out who was behind it.

Suddenly, he felt someone behind him tugging at the corner of his clothes.

Looking back, he was surprised, "Kassan? ”

Standing behind him was none other than Kassandra. She is wearing a casual sportswear, light blue jeans, and a cute peaked cap, radiating the lively atmosphere of a young girl all over her body.

However, this dress is still a little too attractive to be placed in the quarantine area, but it is better to say that such a beautiful girl like a flower is already very incongruous in such a place.

"What are you doing here?" Roy asked, "Didn't I make you look favorably on Gotham?" ”

Kassandra pursed her lips and hung her head slightly, her bright eyes wide open.

Roy sighed lightly: "Okay, okay, I know, you're worried." ”

"Xiaoba?" Kassandra asked.

"Haven't found it yet." Roy said, "I'm looking into another thing right now, I just have a plan, and since you're here, maybe you can help." ”

In the old town of Gotham, there is an old site of the Gotham police station, and the entire police station was moved to the new town a few years ago, and the old site was abandoned.

And now, the area where this police station is located happens to be divided into a quarantine zone.

An hour earlier, the Gotham Police Department's coordinates had been marked "Arkham City Extreme Cold Point" on Batman's temperature detector.

The police station's laboratory has turned into a field of ice and snow, and the air outlets of the heating system on the walls have been sealed with ice slag. The entire room was covered with ice crystals, and walking into it from the outside was like entering another world, and the sudden change in temperature made it seem like entering a cold room.

There is only one person who is so obsessed with the extremely cold environment, and that is the Freezing Man. However, when Batman arrives, the Freeze Man is not here, just a few thugs in winter coats and armed with machine guns.

It didn't take Batman long to take them all down.

"Alright, alright, I surrender!" When the last enemy remained, he shouted with his hands raised.

Batman lifted him up with one hand and shouted, "Freezer!" Tell me where he is? ”

"It's a penguin!" The man shouted, "Our boss, Mr. Copote, has taken him." ”

In the thug's headset, Copote's roaring voice came out: "Boy, you know what happens when you snitch under me, right? ”

"I'm sorry, Mr. Copote, he forced me"

Without giving him a chance to say more, Batman knocked him unconscious with a punch and picked up the communicator in his ear.

"Take it easy, Copote." He said, "I'm coming to you now." (To be continued.) )
