Gotham, under some cave

Darkness is the majority of the matter that can be seen here, but even so, you can vaguely see the light that persevers in the darkness.

Peering deeper into the light, you can see an exaggerated space in the shape of a spiral cone, apparently artificially processed, with a small lake at the bottom that connects to an underground river that can be accessed from the water.

The structure of the cave is welded by a large number of processed metals, and at the same time, the structure is stabilized and the space of the cave is precisely divided into several pieces, which is unimaginably efficient, and the partition that separates the space becomes the road above the stranded space, and on these roads, all kinds of equipment, locomotives, sports cars, small flying machines, water walkers, armed backpacks and even power suits are placed.

All of them are designed to have bat elements or be branded with the bat logo, but they don't feel the slightest bit funny, only deep darkness and wildness.

There are a lot of things in other places, such as 1:1 scale mold dinosaurs, giant clown coins, and other things that don't have anything to do with this cave, but more like collectibles or trophies displayed here than the equipment here.

In the center, a main-computer-style mainframe computer displays all sorts of data, all of which are about the incident that took place in Gotham Harbor that night.

And the person who looked at these materials in front of this computer, wearing a slim black suit, a bat hood covering the upper half of his face, and the bat logo printed on his chest as always, all this explained his identity, the night knight who guarded Gotham - Batman.

This deep man looked at the case materials in front of him, and his eyes under the mask couldn't help but wrinkle, as if he was very uncomfortable with something, and this has never been a good thing for Batman.

"Master Bruce, you're working on this case again."

At this time, an elderly British man dressed as a butler came over with an English breakfast and learned from his mouth that Batman was quite interested in this case.

"Alfred, there is an unknown existence behind this case that we have not yet encountered, and this existence is likely to lurk in the depths of Gotham, I must understand what it is and who it is."

Batman, or the man as he should call it, turned his head and said, it was clear that he already had some clue about how this case was happening.

"But the Joker has been put in Arkham Asylum, so shouldn't the most important concern be put on the back burner."

Alfred placed breakfast on the table next to Bruce in front of him, apparently as a butler, he was more concerned about the health of the life of Bruce, who was his child.

Bruce shook his head at Alfred's statement, but still took off the hood that covered his face, revealing his complete and handsome face, and said:

"The Joker is locked up, but we don't know anything about the monster that killed the Joker's men and the monster that nearly killed the Joker, or the bat monster who took down the monster."

"Master Bruce, do you think what the Joker said is true? Do you believe him? ”

Alfred couldn't agree with Bruce's opinion, most of the information about this case was obtained from the clown's mouth, the mysterious existence of the worm-type man-eating monster, and the bat monster who defeated its blue eyes, which is more like the routine and characters in some cartoons.

"I'm skeptical, Alfred, but I've since found a few of the Joker's henchmen who were in the warehouse last night and fled, and they all prove that they were a creature similar to a liquid worm, and that it was the same creature that ate a few of the Joker's men."

Bruce used a knife and fork and cut breakfast as he explained the case, though it was unreasonable in some places.

"So you think the bat monster that the Joker said is also true? So what do you want to do with it? Communicating is similar to the bat's experience? Or do they live together with each other? ”

"It depends on whether it's a female or not."

It is rare that at such a time, the master and servant told jokes about the case, which can be regarded as enlivening the atmosphere of over-seriousness, and it is also a lot less depressing.

Putting a piece of bacon in his mouth, Bruce pointed to a report on the computer screen and said:

"This report shows that there was a large amount of bioslime residue in the warehouse at that time, and in this residue, I detected a large amount of alcohol, and I can assure that no one in the warehouse last night consumed alcohol."

"Criminals also quit drinking en masse... That's a rarity. ”

"The real problem is that the amount of alcohol contained in this residual bioslime is equivalent to seventy bottles of medical alcohol concentrated together, and no human being, including fortified humans, can withstand this alcohol and will indeed die of alcohol poisoning."

"At the same time, I also extracted a genetic factor similar to that of a mollusk like a slug, which means that it is indeed an unknown biological genetic residue."

Under Bruce's explanation, even Alfred had to believe that such a creature had appeared at that time, but what about the blue-eyed bat monster?

"I only had two conjectures about Batfin at first, one was my imitator and the other was Lonstone."

Bruce said, feeling strange about these two conjectures for the reason:

"As for my imitator, the clown strongly objected, and in his confession, he said that the strange man was not an imitator in the same clothes as me, but really, and he looked like that, and the other party looked more like a coincidence, similar to me."

"Then I came up with a second idea, which was Langstone."

Kurt. Dr. Langstone, nickname: Manbat, was a famous zoologist in the past, because he had an ear disease, so he hoped to cure his disease by studying bats and making a special biological agent, and of course, in the end, while succeeding, he also turned himself into a half-human, half-bat monster.

Batman had fought with him several times and knew the habits and characteristics of human bats very well, but under the Joker's narration later, Bruce no longer thought that the other party was an existence related to human bats. Dr. Langstone was not aware of such beings.

"The man-bat formula does give humans a power that surpasses that of the human body, but at the cost of its strong uncontrollability, the user's rationality will decline exponentially, and then go out of control."

"But according to the Joker, the actions and behaviors of this bat monster are quite rational and controllable, the target is precise, and no unnecessary damage and killing, especially the control of the strength of the final attack on the Joker, stable and accurate, not fatal at all, this is not something that the product of the human bat formula can do."

"Finally, there is the difference in scientific research style, in the Joker's narrative, the body surface of this bat monster is quite hard, very similar to metal, which is not something that the human bat formula can do, and also, Langstone's scientific research direction is biological science, not science and technology engineering, and the other party seems to be equipped with a special belt with good scientific and technological strength, which is not something that Langstone can do, nor is Langstone's scientific research style."

With that, Bruce looked at Alfred again and silently told him that there was something strange in this.

Alfred, accustomed to his master's remarkable detective abilities, asked:

"Then Master Bruce, who do you think the other party will be?"

"It's hard to say, Alfred, aliens, superhumans with special abilities, or species we don't know about yet, but we have to understand this being."

Bruce said, finally looking at the report of the man-eating monster and said:

"Still, I think there's an idea of what it's going to do."

"You mean, the other party's purpose is the slug monster?"

Alfred can also see that the other party's actions all start with this monster, and everything ends with this monster, it's just that the clown is trying to attack the other party, and then he will be counterattacked by the other party, at least, the purpose of this bat monster is very clear.

"At least where this kind of existence will appear, there should be that bat monster again, but then we will be in big trouble."

As he spoke, Bruce came to a very bad conclusion.

"We don't know the habits and characteristics of this creature, what it does other than eat people, whether it reproduces or not, what kind of places it habitually lives, how many of its kind, how many similar existences, and what its social structure is, we don't know any of these things."

"In other words, it is possible that this creature will appear all over the world, or even the whole universe, and if possible, this creature will soon appear again, and it will soon lead to that bat monster."

Bruce finished his breakfast as he finished speaking, because of this incident, he was already a little late to his superficial work.

"That's a wonderful conclusion, but Master Bruce, they haven't appeared yet, could you please attend the board of directors of the Wayne Group before they appear?"

Alfred clapped and said something that made Bruce sigh, but it has to be said that this matter is still important.

"How much time is left, Alfred?"

Bruce reluctantly began to take off the suit, but reason told him that if he didn't go to the boardroom, the stupid people would just vent their grievances on the employees below.

"If you go now, you might be able to make it in time for the meeting."

"That'll do."

After changing the suit and placing it in the glass case where the suit was placed, Bruce put on a suit again, looking more elegant.

Together, the master and servant stepped into the elevator exiting the cave to open the elevator called 'Bruce. Wayne's other life.

And in the cave, right in the Batman suit, there are several other suits, one of them, a suit that fits more for teenagers, and the following passage is spray-painted: Hahaha, Batman, you're a joke!
