The bus carrying the duelists slowly drove into a road in the morning light that cast the shadows of the trees, and on both sides of the road were tall cold forest plants, revealing the chill of the forest in the early morning breeze.

The yellow bus drove into the thick fog, and the humid morning fog became thicker and thicker, and penetrated into the bus through the gap in the window, and when the car was also filled with thick fog, several people suddenly realized that the furnishings in the car had changed.

Entering the fog was one of the most common buses in rural America, and out of the fog was an elongated luxury car, and several people also changed from sitting facing forward to sitting on the couch of the extended car.

No one moved, because they saw the living driver sitting in the driver's seat.

"There is food and wine in the refrigerator next to the sofa, please enjoy it to your heart's content, please be sure to get in shape, the Nehlet family is waiting for you."

The expressions of the two Batmen were very consistent, their eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of their mouths turned down, obviously many speculations about the current situation had flashed in their minds.

But they didn't make a sound noise, because the driver's seat of this luxury elongated car did not have a soundproof cabin, and it was best not to reveal their identity as an outsider when they did not know the specific situation.

The information that can be heard from the driver's short words is very limited, only that they seem to be a guest named the Nehlet family, and they are on their way to the family manor at this time, so it seems that the game location this time should be a noble manor.

The two Batmans happened to sit across from each other, so they exchanged glances, and in just a few seconds of eye contact, the amount of information exchanged was extremely huge.

They do have a say in such situations, because they are super-rich themselves, and they know nothing more about aristocrats, rich people, and so on.

Bei Bat began to grope around his body, and sure enough, he found an invitation in the pocket of the bat's leg.

Natasha also reached out and took it out of her trouser pocket, in fact, she had already found out, the injury on her body healed the moment she got on the bus, it seems that as the organizer's rules say, as long as you live until dawn to get on the bus, even if you win the game for a day, you don't have to clear the customs without injury.

She also touched a somewhat crumpled invitation that had been pressed, but the style of this invitation was very strange, not used by the American upper class, and the color was also pure black, only the center wrote a line of flowery English in silver "Natasha Romanoff herself".

Natasha immediately glanced at Batman, and the meaning of her eyes was that this must have been stuffed in by the organizers, since this is the name she registered at the beginning of the game.

But in fact, Natasha's legal name is not Natasha Romanov, she used to use the legal name of Natalia Arianovna Romanova, the reason why the surname Romanov is because the surname of her father who taught her espionage skills is Romanov, in order to identify whose adopted daughter she is, everyone calls her Romanov.

But then Natasha got married, and she followed the organization's arrangement to marry a former Soviet pilot named Alexei Shostakov, and Russian women need to change their husband's surname to get married, so her later legal name should be Natalia Shostakov.

In the early years, S.H.I.E.L.D. paid attention to Black Widow's movements, and the name she used was Natalia Shostakov, and Natasha did not change it after joining S.H.I.E.L.D., so her legal name in the United States is also this.

Invitations to the upper class of the United States usually use full names, some omit middle names, but also use big names, and many of the superhero names we know are actually nicknames.

For example, Daredevil Matt, his big name is Matthew, Dick's big name is Richard, and Tony's big name is Anthony.

However, people who have a little bit of rules will not write other people's nicknames on invitations on formal occasions, which can even be said to be a disrespectful practice, and even many times people who are more familiar with each other must be called by their names when they meet on serious occasions.

So if this so-called Nehlet family is a wealthy family in Europe and the United States, it will definitely not make such a mistake, then the only possibility is that they were shoehorned in by the organizers, so the organizers directly used the names they provided when they registered.

The four of them thought of this almost at the same time, so they relaxed a little, it seems that this game does not need to play anyone, the organizers will give them a reasonable identity.

Sure enough, the car slowly stopped, and several people who came out of the car saw that behind the dense forest was a huge Gothic manor, which should be comparable in size, luxury, and construction age to Wayne Manor.

When they walked to the fork in the road, they found a sign at the front of the intersection with the name of the Nehlet family, indicating that all the surrounding woodland was the property of the family.

After taking two steps forward, the butler and a group of waiters stepped forward, and the old butler at the head shook hands with Batman and said, "You are finally here, God willing, the Nehlet family welcomes you heartily, come with me." ”

The old butler turned around and walked towards the manor with a few people, and said, "As I said on the phone, the situation of the young master and the young ladies is getting worse and worse, and the lady is already going crazy, but it is understandable. ”

"The master came back once a few days ago, but soon left in a hurry because of business, Mr. Prosi made more and more trouble, and Madame is really too busy to take care of it, if there is any rudeness later, you must not mind."

"Oh, by the way, I didn't expect Dr. Rodriguez to be an old acquaintance with the famous Wayne brothers, how do you say that? There is always a chance for good people to get together. ”

didn't wait for Batman to ask, and the old butler explained all the settings in one go.

It seems that the family called Nehlet has been in some trouble lately, and it is certain that the family is now inherited by a couple, the lord and the lady of the housekeeper, and they have at least one son and a daughter, and there is a strange source of Mr. Proch, who lives here.

And the setting of Batman seems to be a pair of businessman brothers, the business is very big, Schiller is still a doctor, Natasha's profession is not said, but from the subtle attitude of the housekeeper, she is probably still a law enforcement officer with an official background.

It is very likely that the housekeeper called them separately before, hoping that they could solve the trouble, but between the words, he revealed who else he had invited, and it turned out that they knew each other, so they sent a car to pick them up together.

Now there are two biggest suspicions, the first is, of course, what kind of trouble did the Nehlet family have in need of business partners and doctors, and even let law enforcement officers into their home, not in a business capacity.

This last point is especially important, as he is also a wealthy man, Batman is aware of some taboos in high society, and generally no family will welcome agents into their homes.

It's not that they really have anything to fear, most of the families live in places that don't have any clues, it's just that they think that law enforcement officers should protect their interests, not the other way around, simply put, they just want their dogs to bite people, not the other way around.

The fact that law enforcement is carried out without revealing one's identity is even more interesting, as it is most likely a sign that the conflicts between the family factions have reached a point where they are out of control.

One side wants to get the law enforcement officers to make the evidence of other factions public, but they don't exactly want the net to be broken, and only see this as a bargaining chip of the last resort.

Only then will they allow law enforcement officers to secretly enter the mansion in a private capacity, appearing at the last minute of the negotiations in order to form a threat to others.

So which faction do they each belong to?

It is not difficult to see that in this house, the relationship between Mr. and Mrs. Nehlet is probably not harmonious, otherwise Mr. Nehlet would not refuse to return home when his children are in trouble, and that strange Mr. Prossi is also in his own right, and there are bound to be very complicated human relationships.

And second, and most importantly, who is the killer?

After the first game of the first day, several people understood that the ability of the killer is not limited to being strong and powerful, and it is very likely that there are also some abilities similar to magic, so the range of options is very wide, maybe the landscape trees on the side of the road may pull out their legs and become the dryad killer.

On the way to the manor, Batman is always on the lookout for possible accidents, while Schiller has already started talking to the old butler.

"I'll tell you the truth, I was also surprised to hear what you said, no matter what other people do, children are always innocent, and that's why I'm here."

"You can tell Madame that the situation is urgent, and we don't need to be too formal, and we can get to work immediately."

"Really? That's a great thank you, Madame had been hesitating, wondering if it would be a bit rude to invite you to the Nehlet family so formally, but not to have a welcome feast. ”

"But don't think so, we are not such old-fashioned people, everything is based on efficiency, but ......"

Schiller deliberately dragged out a long note, and the old butler immediately looked at him, and said: "You must tell me if you have any requests, the Nehlet family is very grateful to you for your help in the snow, but you must not be stingy......

"Oh, it's a bit of a trouble, but I'm afraid it's still going to be a good thing, you can see it, we all rushed from our respective jobs, and we didn't bring clothes and luggage, and the image is not a problem for us, but I'm worried about bad guidance for the children......"

"So that's what happened." The old housekeeper smiled and said, "Don't worry, you have already prepared the right clothes, besides, after the master took over the family, many things are not so old-fashioned, and yesterday the young master and the young ladies also played with the gardener's lawnmower." ”

During the conversation, they moved to the door of the main hall of the manor, and the two waiters pushed the door open, but the scene in the main hall made several people stunned.

There are many people standing in the extremely ornate Gothic main hall at this time, how to describe the dress and temperament of these people? It can only be said that Batman in a batsuit stood out from the crowd, and Schiller and Natasha, who were dressed normally, were simply outliers.

The two Batmen stared at them for less than three seconds before they were sure - it was a room full of magic sticks.
