Chapter 465: Those Who Were Once Great (Part II)

Hot Recommendation:

Just as Bruce, Lex, and Clark left the empty space, Schiller scanned the underground cavern, ignoring the half-pound miniature camera left behind by Bruce, and prepared to get to work.

Although it is said to be an experiment, it is actually very simple, Schiller directly turned into gray mist and floated above the monster egg, and the moment the gray mist touched the monster egg, the monster egg disappeared.

Immediately after, Schiller focused on the ring on his hand, and in an instant, he appeared on the empty island of the familiar gray fog space, and he turned his head to see the huge monster egg next to him.

Schiller circled around the monster egg, and he found that although the heartbeat inside the eggshell had become faster, it was still stable, and there was no sign of breaking the shell.

Since this is the case, Schiller decided to put it here first, and then talk about the outside affairs.

After returning to the manor's underground, Grey Mist let out a pleasant "Yay! And then he started to eat a lot.

The gray mist spread, covering the entire empty space, and the sound of "Kacha Kacha Kacha" was incessant, and within a few minutes, all the kryptonite on the device was gnawed.

"Hiccup...... It's so full! ”

Grey Mist let out a satisfied sigh, and then fell silent, as if concentrating on digesting it again.

Schiller looked at the empty underground cavity, he was just about to leave, and suddenly remembered something, and whispered to himself: "Oh, yes, did Lex say that I left something here before?" ”

"Okay, let me see, where should I hide?"

He looked at the void for a moment, then stepped out of the place.

The first is that there really is no place to hide anything in this hollow, and the second is that if the previous Schiller was an ordinary person, the amount of radiation here was enough to kill him, and it is unlikely that he would have put East XZ in such a place.

Schiller walked out, searched the halls and corridors, found nothing, and then returned to the cellar where they had come down.

In the cellar and the corridor leading from the cellar to the hall, Schiller carefully examined it several times, and finally, he unscrewed off a lamp at the top, and then found that there seemed to be a hidden compartment on it, and he reached up and found a metal object.

After getting the thing down, Schiller found that it was a small safe, small enough to even be held in his arms, reminiscent of the previous description of Lekes, Schiller guessed that it might contain something related to the Dionysian factor.

So, he cleared a wisp of gray mist and prepared to unlock the door of the safe.

On the floor of a snow-covered courtyard, there was a "pop", and the cellar door opened, and the door was open for a while, but still no one came out of it.

After a few minutes, Bruce and Lex crawled out of the cellar door, both of them looking around in confusion, as if deeply puzzled by the absence of enemies.

"Looks like Clark got rid of them all." Lex said, looking at the marks in the snow around him.

"No way, Clark doesn't kill."

Lex snorted disdainfully, and he said, "How long have you known him?" It sounds like ten years to you, but it's not more than a day at all, how do you know how he ......?"

"Hey guys, I'm back!"

At this time, Clark happened to fall from the sky, he crossed his hands on his hips, and slowly fell to the ground, Bruce frowned and asked, "Why did you go?" ”

Lex saw that Clark was covered in cold, his hair and eyebrows were covered in snowflakes, and he looked like he had been standing in the snow for a long time.

"I got those annoying agents away."

"Got it, where did it go?" Ricks asked, confused, "You didn't really kill them, did you?" ”

"Of course not, I wouldn't do such a cruel thing, I just let them go back to their hometown."

"Isn't that just killing them?"

Clark waved his hand helplessly and said:

"No, didn't they say they were FBI people? I tied them up and flew them to the FBI base with them and put them down. ”

"I'm moving fast, no agents see me, they have to thank me, otherwise, how can they rush back on such a snowy day?"

Bruce and Lex opened their mouths at the same time, and the two looked at each other, and Bruce said a little hesitantly, "Have you ever considered that they might not be from the FBI?" ”

"But they say they're the FBI, and even if they weren't, the FBI would have sent them home."

"The FBI may send them 'back home.'"

Bruce glanced at Lex, who was shivering in the snow, and Clarke, who was just out of breath after exercising, and said, "You two better go back to your room." ”

With that, he turned and walked forward, stepping through the thick snow through the courtyard and back into the banquet hall.

The banquet hall was still a mess, tablecloths had fallen to the floor, candlesticks and cutlery were scattered everywhere, and Bruce stepped over these obstacles and walked straight inside, he and Benjamin still had an account to settle.

According to his speculation, Benjamin should be silently observing the situation in the courtyard from a relatively high floor, which may be the upper floor of the main building of the manor, or it may be the upper floor of the tower next to it, and Bruce decides to go to the nearest upper floor of the main building to investigate.

As soon as he reached the fourth floor, Bruce found some clues, there were almost no ordinary residents here, but there were a lot of traces of human activity.

One more floor, to the fifth floor, Bruce was even more puzzled, it was full of a lot of mess, and he couldn't understand what it was for.

It looked like someone was deliberately leading someone upwards, Bruce speculated, but he was sure that the target of the guide was not himself, because the traces had already been examined, and Bruce felt that it was not a clever trap, at least he certainly wouldn't fall for it.

Just as he was making a turn through the hallway, about to head into the stairwell, he saw a corpse lying across the floor of the landing in the middle of the staircaseβ€”it was Benjamin.

Bruce's eyes narrowed, and after he walked up the stairs, he began to examine Benjamin's body, and from the state of the wounds and blood, it seemed that Benjamin had just died, and the man who did it was very sophisticated, and he was killed with one shot.

Judging from the surrounding situation, Benjamin may have been besieged, and Bruce was somewhat unable to lock on to the target, because those banquet guests definitely did not have the ability to kill Benjamin.

But apart from those guests, it's Bruce's group or other agents who have this ability.

Thinking of this, Bruce speculated that perhaps it was the internal conflict of the agent that led to Benjamin's death, and the person most likely to do it was Benjamin's deputy Kayla.

With this in mind, Bruce continued to walk up, holding a batarang, and when he reached the sixth floor, he found that only one room had the door open, and the light shining through the floor and walls seemed to cut off the hallway.

Bruce leaned against the wall, but as he peered into the room, Kayla, who was standing in the middle of the room, saw him as well, and Kayla said, "Come in, Mr. Wayne." ”

Realizing that he had been discovered, Bruce did not intend to sneak any further, and he walked in, but still did not let his guard down, and Kayla stood across from him and said:

"Mr. Wayne, I have not-so-good news for you."

Bruce was silent, but Kayla didn't care about his attitude, but said to herself, "Just now, for some reason, I killed that idiot named Benjamin." ”

"Neither the motive nor the method matters...... Kayla said as she walked to the back of the desk, took a document from a drawer, and threw it on the table.

There was a "snap" sound, and Kayla continued, "I found this in Benjamin's briefcase, do you want to see your butler's profile?" ”

Bruce's eyes fell on the thick stack of papers on the table, and he estimated the amount of information based on the thickness of the paper, and then stood silently in place.

Kayla waved the pistol in her hand and said:

"I'm not the same as Benjamin's idiot, I have no intention of being an enemy of the Wayne Group, I'm waiting for you here, just to give you this information a favor, I hope you don't mind what the agents did before."

"That's it, you can take your time, I'll leave first."

"By the way, it's best not to try to stop me with the dart in your hand, just now, the communication has been restored, the satellite phone in my hand has been restored, if you do it, the headquarters will know immediately."

With that, Kayla strode past Bruce and left the room, and after she went down one floor, she came to a room on the fifth floor, where Alfred looked at her helplessly.

About ten minutes ago, Kayla led Alfred to the room where Benjamin had placed the materials, and Kayla walked behind the desk, pulled the documents out of the folder, and looked at the contents carefully.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I've been a little curious before, but Benjamin is wary, I didn't find a chance to see it, do you want to see it?"

Alfred shook his head and said, "When you reach my age, you won't want to look back at your resume, it's full of black history." ”

Hearing this, Kayla instinctively glanced at the "emotional" column of Alfred's profile, the long list of names.

"Well, anyway, let's get rid of it as soon as possible, as if none of this happened."

Alfred shook his head and said, "Don't bother, with Bruce's wisdom, if he really doubted me, he would have investigated this information a long time ago, and in that case, it doesn't matter if he destroys this." ”

Kayla reluctantly put the information back on the table, and then said:

"Even if you have a good relationship with Bruce, from what I've seen, he's a very typical American, and the kind of guy who instinctively doubts everything."

Seeing Alfred's indifferent expression, Kayla sighed, and she came to Alfred's face and said to him:

"Before, you taught me a lot of things, you are really a good teacher, whether it is public or private, I hope you can continue to live a peaceful life."

Seeing that Alfred didn't want to discuss the topic, Kayla insisted:

"I have to make sure that little Wayne doesn't suspect you, or that he has feelings for you, and it's not just that you're giving unilaterally, otherwise sooner or later, he'll hurt you."

Kayla directly reached out to push Alfred and said, "You go downstairs and wait, I want to see what little Wayne will do if this information is in front of little Wayne, if he really dares to betray you, I will shoot him." ”

Kayla has feelings for Alfred, and Alfred is the same for her, he will teach Kayla so carefully, in fact, he also poured part of his family affection into her, and in the face of Kayla's kindness, Alfred can't refuse strongly.

So, after Kayla handed the materials to Bruce, Bruce stood behind the desk and looked at the pile of materials on the table, and from his current angle, he could only see the first page of the materials, which contained Alfred's basic information.

Bruce stepped forward and picked up the paper, aligning it on the table, but instead of opening it, he pulled out a lighter.

Watching the paper slowly turn to black ash as the flames burned, Bruce turned to look outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Behind him, the first page of information quickly burned out, and the words "KGB - MI6 agent: Alfred Pennyworth" at the top line completely disappeared in the flames.

As Bruce stood by the window, looking out at the snowfall, he wondered if his butler had seen a bigger and more beautiful snow in the vast snowfields of the northern country.

"But there's one more thing I'd like to confirm." In the room on the fifth floor, Kayla touched her chin and asked hesitantly, she said, "Of course, if I can't say it, I won't ask." ”

"There's nothing you can't say, now you're at a higher level than me."

"Actually, it doesn't matter, it's the 'Philby List,' you know, it's hard for me to convince those idiots to change their minds, I've got to make sure you hide it tightly, or it's going to be a problem if you lose it."

"I did hide it before, but then, I wanted to say goodbye to my old identity and return everything to its rightful owner, so I contacted Moscow and asked them to go to one of my designated contact points to retrieve the list."

"After I sent the list, they sent agents to pick it up, and the list should have been back in Moscow by now."

"Back in Moscow?" Kayla frowned and said very seriously: "Impossible, I have been in contact with Moscow, if the list had returned to Moscow a long time ago, then how could Philby's body make such a fuss?" ”

Alfred also frowned, he said: "I am pretty sure that the communication between me and Moscow is trustworthy, absolutely no one else interferes, as for the whereabouts of the list......"

He shook his head and said, "...... I don't know either. ”

At this time, under the manor, Schiller successfully used the gray fog to cheat and pry open the safe.

After opening the door of the safe, he was greeted by a folder that looked unremarkable instead of the Dionysian factor reagent he had expected.

Above the folder, a badge with a sickle, a hammer, and a red flag gleaming.
