"Did I miss a party?"

Tim jumped off the motorcycle, watched Ian and Alfred have a passionate conversation, and spread his hands in curiosity.

The gears turned, the levers reciprocated, and the vehicle was sent into the garage.

Alfred bowed, then left the Bat Cave to prepare the materials Ian needed.

Before leaving, he also thoughtfully explained Ian's identity to Tim.

"Thanks, so we skip each other's temptations."

Ian waved at Alfred, but the lollipop in his mouth made him look a little funny.

Tim's first reaction was that Ian was a liar.

But with the assurances of Flash and Alfred, he can only choose to believe this statement for the time being.

Moreover, he also saw the scene of the battle between Ian and Bane, and knew that in the difficult moment of Batman's disappearance, it would be great to have such a helper.

The premise is that the other party is really credible.

"Mr. Ian, are there any other things you should do when you come to Gotham besides delivering letters?"

Tim has a basic trust in Ian, but still follows Batman's training habitually tentatively.

Ian shook his head helplessly and said honestly, "I first came to Gotham to ask for Batman's help. ”

He beckoned to Rachel and pointed to the girl, saying, "Rachel is the offspring of a powerful demon, and the followers of that demon want to make her a sacrifice and summon the demon to come down to this world and destroy the planet beneath our feet. ”

"Demons? Cult? ”

Tim's face was full of surprise, he was a tech guy who had never been exposed to the occult.

"Don't be so surprised!"

Ian waved his hand, thinking that Tim was really making a fuss: "Thomas Wayne and the Grand Magician Gwani John Zatara are friends, and if it weren't for what happened in Crime Alley, Batman might have become a famous Grand Magician by now." ”

"And there are not a few strange magical creatures in Gotham, didn't Bruce tell you about it?"

Tim was dumbfounded by the question, and he took off his blindfold in embarrassment: "Actually, I haven't been following Bruce for long, and my usual task is just to deal with those gangsters on the street." ”

"I see!" Ian raised an eyebrow to get the topic covered.

"In short, I didn't expect Batman to disappear at this time. But since the matter has happened, it is too late to complain, so I can only find a way to solve it. ”

Hearing his guidance, Tim came to his senses, and he took out his tablet and explained the current situation to the crowd: "On my way back, I saw that the streets of Gotham were already in chaos. ”

"Penguins and Black Mask's men are fighting for territory, crocodile-men, ventriloquists, javelin masters, and men run out of Arkham Asylum to rob everywhere, and clowns and Riddlers go around violently satisfying their twisted desires."

"Batman has been confirmed missing for 24 hours at most, and those criminals have taken over the entire city so quickly?"

Barry sat on the sidelines, nibbling on a special energy bar made by Star City Lab to replenish the energy consumed by his body when moving at high speeds.

"Wow!" Tim waved his hand helplessly, "What else can I say?" Welcome to Gotham, the city of crime. ”

Barry looked at the evidence on the board and chose to remain silent. He now finally knew why Ian didn't want Caitlyn and Sisko to come with him.

Even if you don't have to look for it, you can see the street gangsters fighting on the streets of Gotham from the monitor.

"Now they only have bats and crowbars in their hands, and tomorrow they will upgrade to automatic rifles for pistols."

Tim's eyes rolled, not allowing himself to look at the chaos on the camera.

"Everyone, be attentive!"

Ian snapped his fingers, drawing Tim and Barry's attention back to him.

"Without Batman's suppression, it is inevitable that various villains will stage unlimited fighting tournaments in Gotham."

"But we can't let the situation go on like this, and when the order of Gotham completely collapses, the believers of the Three Houses will be able to use this chaotic city to hold us back."

Tim raised his hand and said, "So I'm going to find the truth about Batman's disappearance right away and bring him back." Only in this way can these arrogant bastards be beaten back. ”

"Batman has to be retrieved."

Batman has become a symbol of sorts, weighing on the hearts of all of Gotham, restraining the impulses of those who commit crimes with fear.

But Ian reckons that this matter is not so simple: "Until Gotham becomes a battlefield, Batman will definitely not be able to return." So we have to act at the same time, looking for Batman while also suppressing the madness of Gotham's criminals. ”

"We don't have enough people!"

A handsome young man walked in, Dick Grayson.

Ian remembers Doctor Fate's version of him slaughtering on the battlefield, crushing both the Amazons and Atlantean armies.

Instead of wearing Nightwing's uniform, he wears a suit with oil on his hair, and he looks like a successful man.

"I just got back from the Wayne Group. Lucius needs my support to keep those shareholders shut up. ”

Although Batman and Nightwing parted ways, Dick Grayson is still Bruce Wayne's adopted son.

Before Mi Aotian appeared, he was the sole legal heir of the Wayne Group.

Dick and Ian shook hands, and the Nightwing had faded from Robin's mania, and the word steady was written all over his body.

"Dick Grayson, Alfred has already introduced you to me!"

"Ian, nice to meet you."

The two of them exchanged polite words and began to get down to business.

"When there is a riot in Gotham and order breaks down, the city government will initiate an emergency evacuation process to evacuate the residents outside the city. Even so, millions of people will remain for a variety of reasons. ”

"We don't have the manpower to suppress such an impulse, and we can only do that if we get Batman back."

After listening to Dick's words, Ian understood that Batman's figure was really deeply rooted in the hearts of every Gotham person, and even a name could make those criminals tremble.

"But this time it's not just Gotham criminals, there's also a cult inside that doesn't mind pleasing its master by destroying the world."

"The chaos of Gotham will be their protective color, allowing them to hide in the shadow of criminals and plot their own little plans."

"It's because we don't have enough people that we can't let the situation get the worst," he said. ”

"At that point, even if Batman returns, it's going to be hard to bring the city back to peace."

"You're right!"

Dick was past the age to deny the truth for the sake of his own face, and having experienced the Gotham lockdown once, he would never want to go through it a second time.

"So, if there's anything you can do to calm those beastly criminals who have exploded, just say it!"
