The car sped along the empty and deserted road, and at the end of John's line of sight he could already see the Wayne family's mansion, a mansion built on a hill, or even a small castle.

Outside the huge iron gate, John stopped the car and walked to the electronic doorbell on the side, and after ringing the doorbell, John anxiously waited for a response.

In the past, the iron door of Wayne's mansion was open during the day, but now that the situation in Gotham City is chaotic and the villains are in charge, Alfred naturally will not open the door every day, in fact, this iron door has not been opened since Batman was imprisoned by Bane, and its owner should not need it for the time being.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Alfred's old voice came over the loudspeaker under the doorbell, "Is that Mr. Fox?" Your car still looks so old. ”

"Well, I'm John, Constable John Black, and the last time I was here, we were supposed to see Mr. Alfred, Mr. Fox, and Chief Gordon in the car." John replied into the communicator.

"Oh, it's you, young Mr. Constable, it's you who brought the young master back to 'vitality', I still remember you." Alfred's voice became a little low, Bruce Wayne's eight-year silence made him feel very sad and dissatisfied, but when Bruce returned to his old job as Batman, he felt very uneasy, how he hoped that his young master could live an ordinary life, but after this police officer came, his young master insisted on supporting his broken body and putting on that bat suit!

If the young master hadn't become Batman again, he wouldn't be in the predicament he is in now.

Alfred sighed to himself, and after opening the iron door through the remote control, he walked to the kitchen, and now he was the only one left in the Wayne mansion, but even so, he could not lose the courtesy of the Wayne family.

The car drove through the garden of Wayne's mansion to the main hall door, and the three of them got out of the car and stepped on the steps in front of the door, just as the door opened, and Alfred stood by the door and politely invited the three to enter.

In the living room, Alfred served three cups of black tea to the three of them, and then said apologetically: "During this time, I was the only one left in the whole house, and I didn't have the opportunity to go out to buy ingredients, so I can only use tea as a hospitality, sorry." ”

Fawkes looked at Alfred's slightly lost expression and sighed silently in his heart; John, on the other hand, drank black tea with his head down, not knowing what to say.

"Is Mr. Wayne not here?" Director Gordon, the only unaware director, asked Alfred.

"Young Master, he went out on a trip before these things happened in Gotham City, so ...... Very lucky. Alfred said this, but the expression on his face was not a little happy, but Director Gordon didn't pay too much attention to this, and began to ask about the purpose of this trip, "That's the case, Mr. Alfred, my subordinates and Mr. Fox came here this time in the hope of getting your help, I heard Mr. Fox say that you were also one of the participants when the underground secret laboratory of Wayne Enterprises was built?" ”

Alfred cleaned up his mood and nodded silently, he gave Bruce a lot of hands when he built the research room, so he also knew a lot about the research room, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a participant.

Gordon's face was overjoyed, and he continued, "So, Mr. Alfred, do you know that there are other entrances and exits to that research room besides the normal entrance under Wayne Enterprise?" ”

Other entrances and exits? Alfred frowned slightly, of course he knew that Master Bruce had secretly added an additional entrance and exit when he was building the research room, and he had asked his opinion at that time to ask where this exit was more appropriate, so he knew the location of this entrance very well.

But why do they ask this?

Alfred looked at Fawkes, "Is something wrong?" "Compared to Director Gordon, Alfred trusts Fox more, after all, Fox is also an insider of Batman's true face, and has always given Master Bruce a lot of help, not to mention that the construction of the laboratory was originally involved in Fox.

"Alfred, that's the ,......," Fawkes told Alfred in detail about his own judgment and the closure of the door to the research room...... That's why we're here for you, if there's a second entrance, please let us know, we have to stop the Joker's plot, or the city will be doomed! ”

Alfred listened quietly to what Fawkes said, and after the other party finished speaking, and after thinking for a moment, Alfred nodded solemnly, "Wait until I go get a coat, and I'll take you there." ”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

As Batman, Bruce Wayne has a total of three secret bases, and the one that has existed for the longest time and is the earliest one established is naturally the one under Wayne's mansion, which is also the place where Batman often stays; The second is located on the outskirts of Gotham City, near the port, which is a container distribution center, where many containers are loaded and dropped, and Batman's second base is under one of the containers, and the container will never be moved; As for the third one, it is naturally the underground secret research laboratory of Wayne Enterprises.

The second entrance to the research room is actually inside the second base, although there is a long distance from the underground to the Wayne enterprise, but this entrance was secretly established at the insistence of Batman, although Fox knew about the existence of this second base, but he didn't know that there was an entrance to the research room here.

Under Alfred's leadership, everyone entered the underground base, and by this time, even Director Gordon's mind was slow enough to think that there must be some relationship between Bruce Wayne and Batman.

The underground base is divided into two floors, one is Batman's usual training ground and equipment storage, and the second floor is the placement device of the nuclear fusion reactor, but there is no nuclear fusion reactor on this installation device today.

The entrance to the research chamber is on the second floor of this underground base.

Climbing down the ladder, Alfred led a few steps forward, then turned to face the wall to the side, and reached out to grope slowly on the wall.

"I haven't been here in years, and I can't remember the exact location, but it should be around this location...... Pregnant. Alfred's expression was relieved, and his right hand stopped on the wall, which seemed to Fawkes and the others to be no different from the rest of the wall, but surprisingly, after Alfred pressed his right hand, the wall was slightly dented like plasticine.

'Squeak-click-'

A subtle sound of opening and closing, and then the seemingly tightly fitting wall slowly split to both sides, and after a while, a two-meter-high and one-meter-wide entrance appeared in front of everyone.

"This is a wall made of memory metal, this is a scientific research project that was abandoned ten years ago, and he didn't expect it to be used here." Fox exclaimed, memory metal was a key research project of Wayne Enterprise ten years ago, and at that time it also got good scientific research results, but in the end, it was found that there was no way to improve memory strength no matter what, and it could only be used as a general metal material at most, so this high-end material that was supposed to be used on the latest weapons was finally abandoned, but I didn't expect Batman to use him in this kind of place, this idea is much more clever than those researchers back then.

"The young master has been very smart since he was a child, if he didn't become Batman, the current Wayne Enterprise should have a world-renowned president." Alfred sighed, and once again worried about the safety of his young master, while Director Gordon on the side was completely stunned, Alfred's words were obvious to admit, Bruce Wayne is Batman!

Thinking of some scenes where he and Bruce Wayne met by chance, now that I think about it, it wasn't actually accidental, Director Gordon smiled self-deprecatingly, I didn't expect that the famous playboy to be the patron saint of Gotham City!

"While Wayne Enterprises is missing a wise president, Gotham City is one more qualified patronus, isn't it? And this patron saint is equally world-famous. Fox patted Alfred on the shoulder, this old man was very aware of his young master's concerns, but from Fox's point of view, he admired Bruce Wayne more as Batman, because as Batman, he was not only responsible for Wayne Enterprises, but also the entire Gotham City, and he did everything a hero should do!

"That's right, if it weren't for Batman, Gotham would still be the same crime-ridden city it once was." Director Gordon nodded approvingly, in his mind, Batman will always be the best choice for heroes!

"Alright, let's go inside." Alfred cheered up a little and walked in first, Director Gordon, Fox and John followed him one after another, and when all four entered, the cracked wall closed again, and the closed place was so perfect that it was impossible to tell that this wall could be a door!

The wall behind them closed again, and the lights automatically lit up in the dark passage, and the four of them walked forward under the bright light for about five minutes, and a wall appeared in front of everyone.

Having opened the wall in the same way, Alfred led the three of them to an empty passageway, which was like a train platform, with a track in the middle, and at the end of the tracks, which was close to a few people, was a carriage of small capacity, which looked like it should only seat about five people, but it was enough.

The door of the carriage was open, and Alfred was the first to enter, and at either end of the carriage were two consoles, and Alfred walked to the one in front of him and started the little train.

"Come on, it will take twenty minutes to get to the lab from here, and you can rest in your place."

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Wayne Enterprises' Underground Secret Laboratory, which was built nine years ago, took only three months to build a huge underground laboratory with the tacit approval of Fox, the president of Wayne Enterprises, and the sponsorship of Bruce Wayne, but it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a huge research institute. This place is mainly used for Batman to carry out the maintenance and development of weapons and equipment, but after Bane ruled Gotham City, the chariot weapons that originally belonged to Batman here were looted, but except for these high-kill things, the rest of the things were not much destroyed, so when the Joker found this place under the guidance of Yang Qingyi, in addition to feeling relatively empty, he still liked this place very much.

Most importantly, this is the most important part of his plan!

Although this plan was revised and modified by Yang Qingyi, it was changed beyond recognition!

At the end of the research room is a stunning curved screen wall, hundreds of small screens connected to each other by black cables, controlled by computers on a curved console below the screen wall, where every corner of the entire Gotham City can be monitored!

That was, of course, eight years ago.

After Fox destroyed the monitor eight years ago, the wall never lit up again.

Until now......

Standing next to the console at this time were two very young-looking white men, who were probably in their early twenties, but their outfits were not flattering. They had colorful hair and trousers full of ornaments, pierced ears, large earrings of different shapes, and two dark circles on their faces, which looked like they were painted, and the overall image looked extremely rebellious.

"Hey Johnny, what time is it?" The two of them lay idly by the console in a daze, and the man on the left asked the one on the right.

"George, don't you have your own watch?" Johnny shook his head in dissatisfaction, but reached out to look at his watch.

"It's 9:53, and we're two hours and seven minutes before we change shifts." Johnny knew very well why George was asking the time, the research room was empty except for this amazing screen wall, there was nothing but boredom here, and the two young people naturally didn't like to be in this place.

"It's going to take so long." George shifted his position and continued to lie on the console, he began to regret that he didn't bring the magazine, it was really boring to be on duty in this research room.

"Hey George, when do you think it's going to start getting messy up there?" Johnny was obviously bored as well, so he and George started talking.

"As soon as the Joker's plan begins, the city will be in complete chaos, hmph, those ignorant people are just pawns in the hands of the Joker." Speaking of clowns, George suddenly came to his senses, and it could be seen that he admired clowns very much.

"Of course, I'm just wondering when Lord Clown will start his plans. But I really didn't expect that we, who could only watch the Joker's performance eight years ago, would be able to become his assistants eight years later, which is really cool! Johnny also became excited, the two were just children when the Joker committed a big crime in Gotham City eight years ago, they were just one of the many troubled children in Gotham City, and now they have become the Joker's assistants, which is tantamount to God's favor for the two.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, let's stay seriously, you can't ruin the Joker's plan." Speaking of clowns, both of them are in spirit, and they are no longer as soft and spiritless as before.

"You two, please keep talking, we'd love to know what the Joker's plan is." A serious voice suddenly sounded behind them, and the two turned around in shock, only to be greeted by the muzzle of the black hole.

Fox, Alfred, Gordon, and John looked at them with solemn faces behind them, and Gordon and John both had guns in their hands, and the muzzles of the guns were pointed at them.

Faced with the current situation, Johnny and George did not seem to be afraid or uneasy at all, and behind the eyes of Fox and the others, Johnny reached out and pressed a red button on the console gently.
