Slightly hurried footsteps sounded in the dimly lit hallway, the smooth floor reflected the agent's hurried footsteps, the grinding sound of the gun loading sounded like a tape with a sudden jam, the lights overhead flickered on and off irregularly, and the howling cold wind gradually faded down from the window, and the goose feathers of snow fell.

The storm has gradually faded away, but the snow has not stopped, even without the snow knives whistling in the wind, the snowflakes are still falling very densely, the weather is still very cold, and the snow on the streets has not had time to melt, and it is covered with pure white velvet again.

The sky was still overcast, and the gray and heavy clouds pressed down on the manor like a boulder on the hearts of all people.

Everyone could feel that the atmosphere in the manor was starting to become more and more oppressive.

If the mayor's murder was a brisk piano overture, and the shootout that had just erupted in the hallway was the climax of a rousing drumbeat, now, with the low, hoarse strings playing, as everyone knows, is nearing the end.

But that didn't mean they could all get out of here safely, as the agent's hurried footsteps and the sound of a pistol loading made its way down the hallway into the guest room, and they all knew that some kind of confrontation was about to begin.

The atmosphere became quieter, but more eerie, like the snowflakes fluttering outside the window, and although the storm was fierce, the absence of wind was even more murderous.

At this time, the atmosphere was tense not only in the mayor's manor in the metropolis, but also in Wayne Manor in Gotham.

Dick tiptoed down the hallway, then gently turned the doorknob to open it, quickly sideways into the door, and closed the door.

Aisha, who was sitting on the carpet playing with blocks, turned her head to look at Dick, then stood up and held out her hands to him, Dick walked over and picked her up, and Aisha was about to scream, Dick said, "Shhh......h

Aisha could now understand some of the people's words, especially what Dick was saying, and she tilted her head, as if she didn't understand what Dick's rather frustrated expression was all about.

Dick walked over to the carpet, put Aisha down, and began to clean up the messy blocks, whispering, "I saw Alfred wiping his double-barreled shotgun again." ”

He swallowed, looked left and right, seemed a little worried, and then continued, "I remember that Mr. Wayne would only wipe his gun when he came back late, or when he came back and was wounded. ”

"And, at that time, he was just wiping the barrel with a deerskin, but I just saw that he was cleaning the rifling and even testing the trigger......"

"Oh my God, he must be very angry!"

Dick took a deep breath and shrugged his shoulders, then the whole person relaxed again, he scratched his head, and said a little helplessly: "However, Bruce seems to be a little ...... lately"

"First he didn't go home for a few nights in a row, then he was found in and out of bars and red light districts, and then he quarreled with Selena, and it turned out that he was missing for almost 20 hours, right?"

Dick sighed and said, "If I dare to run away from home for 20 hours without saying a word, my dad will break my leg." ”

"Wow, wow, wow!" Aisha shouted.

"You say he's an adult? What's the use of that, I think I'm an adult, too, but didn't Bruce and Alfred not allow me to leave the manor for too long? ”

"At the school I'm studying at now, I'm only allowed to go home two days a week, but they found the school counselor and insisted on letting me go to school because they were worried that I would be abused if I left here for too long."

"Wow wow! Wow wow! Aisha screamed again.

"Of course, I know that Alfred treats me very well, not only will he take me to and from school, but he will also cook me my favorite food, and even bring afternoon tea to my school, but how can I comfort him?"

"Now, I don't even dare to go to his room, there is a dark atmosphere there!" Dick gestured with his hand to a large circle, and said in an exaggerated tone, "I have no doubt that if anyone enters this range, he may be dangerous!" ”

As she spoke, she heard a loud bang coming from the hallway, Dick was startled, and Aisha's eyes widened, she looked left and right, and then turned her head straight to look at the wall on one side of the room.

Dick followed her gaze, and he remembered that it was the direction he had come from, the direction of Alfred's room.

"Let's go over and take a look, maybe the gun went off!"

As he spoke, he picked up Aisha, who struggled in his arms for a moment, and then began to scream again, Dick stopped, put Aisha down, patted his head and said, "Oh, I forgot, you run fast, you go over fast first, go and see if Alfred is hurt." ”

Cutie Sha didn't move, raised her arms again and began to scream, Dick was stunned for a moment, and said, "...... Can I also teleport? How do I teleport? I'm just a ......."

"That's right! I can teleport too! But I can't control it...... No, Alfred may need my help, I'll try. ”

As he spoke, he concentrated, and his body began to glow green again, and then "Zeng" disappeared in an instant, and Aisha ran out of the door, rushing to the other end of the corridor at a great speed.

Just as she turned a corner and came to the door of the room at the end of the corridor, there was a "snap", and Dick fell from the sky with a green light.

"Oh, my waist!" Dick let out a scream, and Aisha grinned, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa."

Dick got up from the ground, bent down, picked Aisha up, rubbed her head vigorously, and said, "Don't laugh, this is the first time I've controlled the teleportation by myself, it's already good, right?" ”

"Next time, I'll try to teleport as close to the ground as possible."

At that moment, there was a "Kacha", and the door was opened, and bright light poured out through the crack in the door, shining right between Aisha and Dick.

Alfred's face appeared behind the door, and for that moment, it was a little gloomy, but when he saw Dick and Aisha, it immediately turned to kindness.

Dick rubbed his waist and stepped forward, looked up at Alfred and said, "Aisha and I heard the gunshots and wanted to come over to see what's wrong, are you okay?" ”

Alfred smiled and said, "I'm fine, I just went off." ”

He crouched down, touched Dick's head, looked at Aisha again, turned to Dick, and said:

"I might have to go out and get out of here for a while, so I'm preparing the tools......"

Dick blinked and asked him, "Where are you going?" ”

"He's crazy! He's going to fly to the Metropolis in this weather! Another voice came from the room.

Dick peeked in with wide eyes and shouted, "Howl, why are you here??" ”

"You'll have to ask this good butler named Pennywise!" Howl's voice came again, and he looked rather resentful.

Alfred's smile only stiffened for a moment when he saw Dick poking his head to find out, and Aisha with a curious face, and then he opened the door and let the two children in.

Hal sat down in front of the corner, throwing a shotgun, and when he saw Dick come in, he struggled to get up from the ground, and then sighed bitterly and helplessly:

"Alfred, I repeat, I'm just a test pilot, not a full-fledged fighter pilot, and I've been transferred to logistics for more than three months and have had no training at all lately."

As he spoke, he pointed out the window and said, "The blizzard has indeed stopped, but the snow has not stopped, and flying a plane in this weather is simply suicidal!" ”

Alfred turned and walked in front of him, and then picked up the shotgun, and seeing him loading, Hal snorted into the corner, and said with a shudder:

"It's useless for you to force me, I can't know it's a dead end, and still do this......"

He swallowed for a moment, then said, "If I still have the green light energy, maybe I can teleport over and see what happened, but ......"

As he spoke, he set his eyes on Dick, and Dick also understood that Alfred wanted to go to the Metropolitan to find Bruce, he raised his hand and said, "I was able to control the teleportation just now, maybe I can ......"

"No, Master Dick, you can't." Alfred said without looking back, Dick wanted to argue about something, Aishar pulled him, Dick hesitated, but still did not continue to speak.

Hal sighed, looked into Alfred's eyes and said:

"Dick told me before that you raised Bruce, and that you are like his father, and I can understand your concern."

"My family didn't approve of me being a pilot because they thought it was too dangerous, and my father was the most vehemently opposed, but after I argued with him and insisted on going for a test flight, I saw him secretly crying."

"Because of this, I switched from a test pilot to a ground logistics, and I promised him that if one day, I had to fly a fighter jet to deal with the danger that might come, then I would carefully consider all the environmental factors to ensure my own safety and not let him be sad."

"It's the other way around, and Bruce would be very sad if he knew that you wanted to fly to the Met in such dangerous weather, because it was really dangerous."

Hal crossed his hands on his hips, looked into Alfred's eyes and said:

"I trained at the airbase for a year and a half, and I know very well how the aircraft will perform and how the weather affects flying......"

"I've seen the helicopter parked in the manor before, and even though it looks like it's been modified, it's ......."

"Who said they were going to fly a helicopter?"

In the face of Alfred's cold rhetorical question, Hal showed a puzzled expression.

Just then, out of the corner of his eye, he glanced out of the window of the manor, a room that just had a view of the courtyard of the manor, and Hal turned his head, and then saw a scene that shocked him.

The floor of the central courtyard of the manor slowly opened, and a black bat fighter rose from the ground.

The fighter was pitch black, with a matte black paint on the surface, with the exception of some dark lines that were recessed in the wings, similar to the structure of a fighter jet, but larger than most of the fighters that Haar had seen at the airbase.

Hal swallowed his saliva, his eyes were a little straight, and after being stunned for a long time, he said with some hesitation:

"Don't tell me, let me drive this thing to the Met."

"Who said you drove it?"

Howl's eyes widened again, looking at Alfred.

Ten minutes later, looking at Alfred, who was sitting in the driver's seat, Hal put on his helmet and hesitated and said:

"It's not that I'm going to question you, but flying a plane and driving a car are really two different things, and there is no runway here at all......"

As soon as he said this, the roar of the low engine came, and with a "buzz", the fighter plane took off directly into the air and flew into the air.

When the fighter plane came to a standstill in mid-air, Hal covered his arm, he had just taken off so fast that he was knocked to the elbow, he hurriedly put on his helmet, and then shouted to Alfred:

"Slow down! Slow down! The weather couldn't be ......."

Before he finished speaking, the humming sound became louder and louder, and then, with a "whoosh", the black bat fighter was like a blackbird in a storm, rushing into the vast white snow.
