Chapter 211: The Almighty Butler
What Kara said was still relatively vague, and Shen You only knew when he asked in person that Superman and Batman had had a brief cooperation in the past.
The specific process doesn't matter, anyway, it can be roughly summarized that the criminal actions of the International Gang are becoming more and more arrogant, and the big bosses and small leaders from all walks of life have become heads and faces in an instant with a bunch of superweapons of unknown origin.
What a small black hole, a molecular detonator, and an energy grenade were originally compared to the Gotham Police Station, which can be called a nursing home, and the metropolitan police were suddenly under pressure. At that time, even some senior international gang soldiers were holding energy rifles in their hands, the kind that would burn people to ashes when rubbed.
Although the first meeting between the two giants was not as intimate as that of an old husband and wife when they were later called "the world's best partners", it was generally pleasant.
From Superman's point of view, it was like picking up a bat card external brain, so that the super brain that he didn't like to use was finally able to enter the idling state as he wished, and all the work that could use the brain was outsourced except for "quickly use super power A to go up".
From Batman's point of view, it's like picking up one of his best god costumes ever. Humanoid self-propelled god-level props, can blow wind, water, earthquakes, and set fire to mountains, the four elements are complete, Gandalf used them all said well, and the hexagonal panel even grows is S - it can be opened when it encounters a stronger one.
But that was a few days ago.
"We got in touch later and agreed to investigate the case of the International Gang and those high-tech weapons together." "But then he suddenly disappeared, didn't even make a phone call, and suddenly said goodbye."
Follow me and I recently saw in the news that Batman is missing. Although I think he is very good, I can't help but be a little worried.
Because the last time we communicated, Batman seemed to say that he suspected that he had found something, but he still needed to confirm it, and he would contact me when it was confirmed. ”
Shen You thought thoughtfully: "Then you never received a call from him again." ”
"That's right." Clark muttered, "The more I investigate this case, the more I feel that the water is deep. You weren't there at the time, and some of the bosses used weapons that were so outrageous that they even caused me some trouble.
It can't be Earth technology, and it even seems to me to be a little more advanced than Krypton. I can feel as if there is a pair of invisible hands behind the scenes, which makes me feel like I am being watched by someone all the time."
"Then you didn't go directly to Gotham to find him?" Shen You asked.
"Find? How to find it? Clark was stunned, "He's wearing a mask, and I don't know who he is." ”
"Huh?"
This time Shen You was stunned.
"But don't you have perspective?"
"Well, that's true, but I don't usually take the initiative to see it." Clark said solemnly, "People must have their reasons for wearing masks, and it's rude to look at them without consent." ”
Shen You groaned.
How to say it
Kind of unexpected, but it does sound superhuman.
It sounds like Batman has some important clues. It makes sense that he was later called the world's greatest detective, and he still had two brushes at investigating.
And although it should be impossible for ordinary criminals or something to let him overturn, considering that the International Gang may be behind the Apocalypse, and the enemies who have not encountered the Apocalypse before the master have no way to prepare in advance, it is also possible to be plotted during the investigation.
Clark didn't know, but Shen You knew very well where the bat's nest was.
Wayne Group, Conference Room.
"Mr. Wayne, I didn't say it"
An old man on the board of directors said with a frown, holding his glasses.
"But you've been absent for too long."
In the huge conference room, all the members of the board of directors were present and sat around the table. Only Bruce Wayne's position was vacant, and Gotham Kuoshao's handsome face was hanging on the big screen at the end of the conference room, dressed in a cool summer beachsuit, leaning on a chaise longue, hugging left and right in his arms, surrounded by swimsuit beauties from different nationalities.
As far as the eye can see, there is a white uproar, ups and downs, and long legs like a forest. Brother Gongzi was lying comfortably among the flowers, with his legs crossed and a comfortable face.
"What's the matter?"
Bruce Wayne smiled, his left hand unscrupulously wrapped around his snow-white waist, and his mouth was nibbling on the apple that the European beauty had peeled for him.
"Anyway, it's not like you're here."
"This time it's different."
The glamorous scene left the boardroom with nowhere to put its gaze. There are a few old men who dodge their eyes, and they feel that it is inappropriate, but they can't help but glance at the screen twice, and at the same time think that they will have to work overtime to learn more foreign languages when they go back tonight
"This contract is important, Bruce, you have to be here, you know? Must come in person. This can have a serious impact on the company's reputation and possibly in the long run."
"Excuse me, what did you just say?"
Bruce on the screen turned his head and said embarrassedly.
"Emma was blowing in my ears just now, and I didn't pay attention."
The blonde beauty next to her feigned anger: "I'm not Emma, I'm Jill and Bruce." ”
"Oh oh Jill, yes, yes. The 36D one is Emma. Bruce slapped his head, "Look at my memory."
There was silence in the conference room, but the word "well" seemed to pop up in everyone's heads.
"Okay, let's not talk about it, I have to hang up, there are still a lot of activities waiting for me." Bruce said with a smile, "The contract has been finalized anyway, and asking me to go is just a face-to-face handshake." I'm very busy here, separated by several countries. You sign as you like, that's it. ”
After saying that, he hung up.
Board of Directors: "."
It's infuriating, it's annoying.
But it can't be helped.
Who told them to stand up to such an ancestor?
At the same time, in the Batcave, after the projection ended, Alfred turned off the virtual image and motion capture, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He felt that it was definitely not too much for Guinness to give himself the brand of the world's number one butler, and the scope of responsibilities he involved as a housekeeper was becoming more and more outrageous.
From logistical support, communication dispatch to hacker intrusion, as well as all kinds of bizarre injury repairs, bone first aid, and occasionally a cameo appearance in the peanut platter duties in Sherlock Holmes to set off the young master's superior reconnaissance power, he still has to use a high-tech imaging motion capture system to play the missing boss
Fortunately, he was a professional actor when he was young and has a wealth of acting experience. He has rich experience in how to enter the psychology of the role and play a good role as a gentleman.
Well, to be precise, it's a good role in people's stereotypes.
But let's be honest, if Bruce could really be as carefree as he performs and spend all day outside soaking horses, instead of being as uncertain as he is now, then he can wake up laughing when he falls asleep.
"It's amazing, the housekeeper really lives up to his reputation."
The sound suddenly rang out in the bat cave, causing Alfred to reflexively bounce out of his seat.
"Who? Who's there!? ”
He turned his head in astonishment, and saw a man in red and silver armor who could not see his face enter the bat cave at some point and appear behind him out of thin air.
"Oh don't be nervous, I'm a friend of Batman." Shen You spread his hands, "I just want to make sure that others are okay." ”
