Chapter 106: Batman: The Mystery of the Shadow
"The Nobel Prize is not necessary, I am not bad for that reputation and prize money. This experiment is so dangerous that I'm going to seal it away and won't do it again, and you have to keep it a secret. β
Gao Li replied with a serious face.
Regarding the manufacture of illusions, only this time due to the factors of raw materials, no strange illusions were created, and it is estimated that Gao Li will not make illusions anymore after this.
However, looking at Xiaoguang's situation, strictly speaking, it is actually difficult to be regarded as a phantom......
"Is that so...... Well, I got it. β
Although Hallie was a little confused, she still agreed professionally.
"By the way, you said Alfred was looking for me?"
"Yes, I'll call you back."
As the phone rang out, Alfred's voice came from the other end.
"Young Master Gaoli, if I don't have Alzheimer's, then I vaguely remember that you said that you would go back to Wayne Manor for a while?"
Gao Li was sunk in an instant, and his heart was empty.
Oops, patronizing the loan of magic and the coming of the Son, forgetting about it!
"No, Afer, you listen to me...... Oh no, listen to me! I'm definitely not forgetting this, I'm actually busy with a big thing that will definitely surprise you! β
Gao Li glanced at Xiao Guang, who was squatting next to him, and decided to push him out to block the knife.
You see that Jesus sacrificed for the world, as the second generation of the Son, it is not too much to sacrifice for his father, right?
What's more, this is not a sacrifice, and Afu really knows how happy he will be to see you!
"You said it would surprise me?"
Alfred was a little surprised, but he couldn't think of anything else that Gori could do to surprise him too much.
"Actually, as long as you can go home, I'm already very happy, and I don't need to prepare other surprises."
Gao Li snorted: "Anyway, you just wait and see, it will definitely surprise you!" β
Now Alfred is starting to worry, won't there be only surprise and no joy at that time?
However, Alfred has the ultimate professionalism as a butler, and he will not call Xingshi to ask for the crime because of this trivial matter, in fact, he has other things to do with Gori.
"Then I'll look forward to it first, Young Master Gaoli...... But when I call you today, there's something you need to know, do you remember Joe Gill? β
"Joe Gill?"
Gao Li quickly recalled all kinds of information in his mind, and the name seemed a little familiar, but it also seemed not so familiar.
In a flash of thought, Gao Li suddenly thought of who this person was.
- The murderers who shot and killed the Waynes in the first place!
"Ah...... It's the guy who killed my parents, right? What happened to him? β
Alfred said: "Recently, he decided to appear in court as a tainted witness against Carmen Falcone. β
"Maybe I need to give you a word about who Falcone is - his family is the biggest gang in Gotham, you just need to know that."
"Understood, I'll rush back."
Needless to say, Gori also knew what Alfred meant.
In the flesh, he is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne, and it is reasonable that he has indeed used many of the property resources left by Mr. and Mrs. Wayne, and he cannot be ignored in a reasonable way.
"By the way, what about Bruce? Does he know about it? β
"Unfortunately, I still haven't been able to get in touch with Master Bruce."
"Okay, that's it for now."
Gao Li hung up the phone and said to Hallie, who began to tease Xiaoguang with his hands: "Be careful, Xiaoguang will bite, and I won't be responsible for being bitten." β
"Huh? It turns out that his name is Xiaoguang......"
When Harley woke up from a dream, Gori commanded, "Go buy him some children's clothes, I'm going back to Gotham with him." β
Harley's efficiency in handling things was really good, and a large number of well-fitting children's clothes were delivered in a short time.
Gao Li tried to put it on Xiaoguang, but Xiaoguang looked very resistant like the first time the cat and dog in the family put on clothes, and struggled to take it off after a while.
ββ¦β¦ Be calm, your own cub, and don't get angry. β
Gao Li took several deep breaths and finally realized the difficulties of being a parent.
Harley laughed as she guessed, "Could it be that he feels too restrictive in his clothes?" After all, I've never worn clothes before, so I'll try something else for him. β
Gao Li sighed, and that was all there was to it.
After a while, Harley bought a set of Halloween children's outfits, one of which was a large one-piece robe, loose enough.
Sure enough, this time Xiaoguang didn't struggle so much, although he still looked uncomfortable shaking his body, but he didn't tear it off desperately.
"Next is the ...... of shoes"
Gao Li always had a hunch that if he still followed the reactions of those pets, this time would definitely be more difficult.
Sure enough, Gouri's hunch was right.
Compared to the struggle to tear off his clothes, Xiaoguang simply couldn't walk after putting on his shoes, and froze in place on the spot.
Gao Li looked up to the sky and sighed, recalling a large number of videos of cats and dogs that couldn't walk or almost fell down after putting on their shoes, and he began to be a little confused about whether he had an extra son or an extra pet.
"Uh...... BOSS, what should I do? β
"Why don't you refer to the situation of the clothes just now?"
"No way, right? He is very uncomfortable now, and after his shoes become a few sizes larger, he simply doesn't follow his feet, and Xiaoguang will definitely take them off without hesitation. β
Hallie ran out of whack and spread her hands.
Gao Li walked over and scratched Hikaru for a moment to think about it.
"Why don't you just change back into your beast form? On the contrary, it is a little more convenient, and you don't even need to wear clothes. β
Xiaoguang tilted his head suspiciously, unable to understand what Gao Li was talking about.
"Forget it, I'm in a hurry, let's go directly." Gao Li pinched his eyebrows in pain.
He ripped off Hikaru Kokari's shoes, and Hikaru was bounced up and down again like a wild horse after his bare feet.
Gouri lifted his back collar so he couldn't run around, then got in the car and got on the plane in one go, and soon arrived in Gotham.
It was still Alfred who came to greet Gori, and as soon as he helped Gori open the car door, Alfred saw a small furry head poking out of it.
To be precise, it was a small head with white hair, but it also had two wolf ears, which gave Alfred the illusion of seeing a Samoyed probe in a trance.
"Young Master Gaoli, is this ......?"
"That's the surprise I have in store for you."
As he got out of the car, Gouri picked up Hikari and held him up in front of Alfred.
"Afer, I have a baby! This is Wright Wayne, my son. β
βοΌοΌοΌβ
Alfred's pupils shook on the spot.
"You...... Do you have a child? When? You were in a nursing home a year or two ago! β
Goori "forehead" for a moment and explained: "It's not a biological kind of child, ah...... Of course, it wasn't adopted, it was a child I made. β
"The ...... made?"
Alfred couldn't help but be even more puzzled, even if it was any surrogacy, it would only take one or two years, how could it be enough for a child to grow so big?
"Afu, if you look closely, Xiaoguang is not human. In fact, how he made it, you have also seen, is the illusion maker that I worked on with John and Xiao Za earlier. β
Alfred reacted a little, but was still confused: "So he's not human...... But I've seen the illusion created by that machine, and it's exactly like a monster, right? β
Gori said, "Because it's a regular illusion...... Well, it's actually not conventional, it's an illusion specially used to produce magic stones, and it doesn't have its own spiritual intelligence, which is equivalent to an unconscious large piece of meat. β
"But Xiaoguang is different, he is...... Well...... Anyway, you can just think of him as the younger brother of Jesus, or as a contemporary Jesus. β
This made Alfred even more confused, why did he still talk about Jesus?
Of course he knows Jesus, or no one in Europe and the United States does not know Jesus, but it is further away from reality than magic, and it is completely myth and legend.
As the closest person in the DC world, Gouri certainly won't hide it from Alfred and simply tell the story of the arrival of the Holy Son.
This time Alfred is not just a pupil earthquake, but the whole person's world view has been refreshed!
βOh my godοΌ Jesus ChristοΌ Young Master Wright's identity is so noble?! β
Even the well-informed old butler couldn't help but be shocked by Xiaoguang's origin at this moment.
It's like Jesus suddenly became his own family!
β¦β¦ Although Alfred looked at the little light that began to lick his cheeks, it was difficult to feel anything from him that belonged to the divinity of the Holy Son.
But even putting aside the identity of the Holy Son, since Xiaoguang is recognized by Gaoli as his son, Alfred will naturally regard him as a relative.
Previously, it was only that Alfred was very puzzled by Xiaoguang's origin, so he asked a little too much, not that he didn't approve of Xiaoguang.
On the contrary, it was later learned that Xiaoguang was the second generation of the Son, and at the same time the Son of God, the younger brother of Jesus, which made Alfred rarely a little nervous.
Wouldn't you be a little too disrespectful?
Gao Li smiled and patted Alfred on the shoulder and said, "Don't think about it so much, no matter what status he has, even if he has more titles than Long Ma, it still can't change that I'm his father." β
"You can help bring your son with a normal heart...... Oh, it should be a grandson for you? Haha, anyway, let's teach him to read and write first, otherwise it's still very troublesome to not even be able to speak and communicate now. β
Alfred nodded, reaching out and touching Hikari's head.
Well, it feels so good!
Maybe Alfred has a strong Gaoli atmosphere, or maybe he sees that Gaoli has a good relationship with him, Xiaoguang did not resist Alfred, and squinted his eyes very happily and let him caress him.
Not long after, they returned to Wayne Manor, and Alfred had prepared the relevant materials in advance.
"Joe Gill's case against Falcone will go to trial tomorrow, and the prosecutor is Rachel, a childhood friend of Lord Bruce, do you need to meet Miss Rachel first?"
Rachel is Bruce's childhood sweetheart, and she is not familiar with Gaoli, so Gaoli shook his head and refused.
"No, I don't know Rachel, it's just embarrassing."
"Okay."
Alfred nodded, and took Hikari away with joy on his face.
As an old man who keeps an empty house alone, adding a new member to the family is definitely the thing he is most happy to see.
So it's really a big surprise as Gori said!
At least Alfred was very happy, and he only felt that in recent years, apart from Gouri's awakening, this was the only thing that made him the happiest.
"Master Wright, please come with me, I'll take you to have a snack...... Oh yes, can you eat chocolate? β
The words were to ask Xiaoguang, but his eyes were looking at Gaoli.
Gao Li scratched his head, uncertain, "I don't know, because I came in too much hurry, and I haven't had time to test him yet." β
"But although Xiaoguang is a wolf, he should be able to eat chocolate, right? Otherwise, the Holy Son who would have died of poisoning from eating chocolate would be too funny......"
"Master Gaoli!" Alfred said angrily, "Young Master Wright is your son, please be serious, don't make such jokes!" β
"Oh...... Oh okay, sorry. β
Gao Li subconsciously shrunk his neck.
But soon he reacted and felt extremely distressed.
What's going on? Is this what is called intergenerational parenting?
It felt like he had just had Xiaoguang, and his status in Afu's heart had plummeted.
Afu will actually murder me because of Xiaoguang!
Looking at the backs of Alfred and Xiaoguang leaving, Gao Li pursed his lips, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Since Joe Gill's case doesn't go to trial until tomorrow, Gori finds himself back early, with nothing to do for the time being, but to play with the blank Gaia memory and the Lost Drive that he brought back with him.
The technology is ready-made, so Gao Li has already made both, and now the question is where to find high-level "concepts" to instill in them?
"Huh...... Having said that, if you directly absorb the origin of God, it will cause the memory to be overloaded because the energy level is too high, so now that there is Xiaoguang as a transit station, I don't know if it can still succeed? β
PS1: With the third generation, the third generation will be called "Young Master" by Alfred, and the second generation of Gosri and Bruce will automatically be promoted from "Young Master" to "Lord".
But this is a change in the text, in fact, in English it is "Master Gaoli" or "Master Blues", and it doesn't sound like a difference, so I won't write about the reaction of the two to the change of title, and I feel like someone will ask so explain.
PS2: The timing here is different from "Shadow Mystery", in Nolan's version of Batman, the murderer who shot and killed the Waynes testified in court before Bruce went to study in the Shadow Warriors League, and here it was changed to Bruce during his studies in the Shadow Warriors League, so Alfred was not able to contact Bruce.
This universe Bruce also has an extra brother of Gori, which is obviously not the same as the Nolan version of the universe, but it is more similar. Of course, Bruce will be back soon, but he will come to meet Gorry as a junior superhero.
