Chapter 567: A Threat Is Looming!
"Mother box. Is that the key to everything?"
Old Bruce Wayne slowly stood up with his hands on the armrests, and he strolled to the window, quietly looking out the window at the night sky, his face reflected on the glass was full of sadness.
The night sky is nowhere to be seen, and the moon and stars are obscured by heavy dark clouds, giving a sense of suffocation as if a rainstorm was coming.
But for some reason, the dark clouds have been hovering for a week, but not a drop of rain has fallen during this time, only the dim sky and the cold wind remind people that the storm is coming.
He looked at the night sky with a solemn face.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, piercing out of the dark clouds with teeth and claws, instantly illuminating half of Gotham City.
A blinding light filled old Bruce Wayne's eyes, and his thoughts slowly blurred.
It's just that from her tightly knit brows, it can be seen that her mood is getting more and more anxious now.
"Am I late, I'm too late!"
"But I'm curious about one thing, since those guys know that the mother box is on Earth, then why don't they come early to grab it late, but wait until this time to appear?" Old Bruce Wayne asked suddenly.
Hippolyta subconsciously stood up and prepared for battle, but fortunately Bruce Wayne Sr. stopped her in advance.
"You have to find Zhang Yu!"
Doctor Fate chuckled and shook his head. "My prophetic powers don't work all the time, you can't expect me to see all the future."
"What do you mean?" Hippolyta turned her head and looked at old Bruce Wayne in bewilderment.
"Zhang Yu, he is the key, he is the key to everything!"
"Don't you feel it?" Bruce Wayne Sr. glanced at the Helm of Destiny and asked pointedly.
The god Nabu himself looked down on the other gods, and he always felt that those gods were not worthy of that position, and Hippolyta, who could not even be called a demigod, could not be in his eyes.
Hippolyta didn't wait long, and after about ten minutes, a golden glow suddenly bloomed in the dark and silent bat cave.
For the past two years, Bruce Wayne Sr. has been looking forward to the phone ringing every day, but at the same time, he is more curious about what Barry Allen refers to by "the key to everything".
But the problem is that it has been two years since Zhang Yu left, and he himself has no ability to travel through parallel universes, so he has no way to find Zhang Yu's traces except for Zhang Yu to take the initiative to find him.
"You just said that the mother box of Paradise Island has always been very stable, right?" Bruce Wayne Sr. looked at Hippolyta.
"Let Hippolyta tell you about the specifics, I'm going to pick up another person."
Anyway, she used to be in constant contact with the Greek gods, and she was still very familiar with the breath of the gods, and immediately judged the identity of Doctor Fate.
As for Kent, he also knows a certain amount about Hippolyta, and these naturally belligerent and impulsive Amazons are definitely not as easy to contact as they imagined.
"If you want to know about Atlantis, maybe you don't need to go through that much trouble."
"Wait a minute, the person you're looking for will be here in a moment." Bruce Wayne Sr. sat down in front of the computer and beckoned Hippolyta to find a seat.
"It's not that there's a problem with the mother box of Paradise Island, it's only the mother box of humans and the mother box of Atlantis that the problem is left." Old Bruce Wayne narrowed his eyes as if he had thought of something.
This matter is simply full of mysteries.
"I'm thinking about the mother box, I have also looked for and investigated clues about the mother box before, but I have found nothing, so I guess that even if there was a mother box in the hands of humans back then, after so many years, it is estimated that it would have been lost long ago."
"But isn't your human mother box missing, I think, it is estimated that there is a problem on the Atlantis side, they have been like this since ancient times, very unreliable, I heard that there is also a civil war."
This matter has been haunting Batman's mind for the past two years, and it is almost driving him crazy, and he especially hopes that one day his mobile phone will ring.
"What's wrong?"
An Egyptian symbol of life was torn out of the air, and it looked like a cross, but instead of a head, it was a circle.
"About this, I personally also have some guesses, the mother box has been very safe for thousands of years, and there has been no abnormality, I think, there must be something wrong elsewhere that stimulated the mother box and activated it."
Hearing this question, Hippolyta touched her chin and spoke.
Although she was curious about who sent the message from the other party, Hippolyta didn't ask much, she just found a random place and sat down.
"My name is Hippolyta, and you must be the messenger of the god of order and books." After the initial doubts, Hippolyta quickly reacted.
"Don't get excited, it's your own people."
As he spoke, Bruce Wayne Sr. lifted his steps and walked towards the passage of the Bat Cave.
Hippolyta pursed her lips and turned sharply. "No, I have to go to them, they have caused such a big problem, I have to give an explanation."
It's not that he needs Zhang Yu's help, but he really wants to know what happened, even if there is really a major crisis that destroys the multiverse, and he can't stop it, then at least he wants to know how he died.
Barry Allen's words still echoed in his ears, and he had always wondered what kind of threat he would encounter in the future, which was so serious that he would take the initiative to find Zhang Yu.
And old Bruce Wayne didn't answer immediately, but just took out his tablet, knocked on it a few times, and sent two messages out.
"Come with me, I've already arranged it, and you'll understand what I mean in a moment."
"If being scolded can keep the world stable, then it's okay for them to scold for a few words, I don't have the leisure to deal with them now, the enemy from outside the sky is already close at hand." Old Bruce Wayne said coldly.
Closing his eyes slightly, old Bruce Wayne's heart was a little uneasy.
"Wait!"
So Kent quickly set his sights on old Bruce Wayne, and he wondered what the old bat had called him over for late at night.
"Find him Bruce!"
"Kent Nelson, you can call me Doctor Destiny too." Kent nodded slightly, not indifferent, but also not very enthusiastic.
"What happened?" Doctor Fate asked, frowning.
"Yes." Hippolyta nodded.
Bruce Wayne Sr. waved his hand and walked over to the elevator.
Needless to say, it must have been the strength of Bruce Wayne Sr. that made Task Force X's plan fail, and now those high-level leaders can only choose to start playing yin, such as controlling public opinion and squeezing out dirty water.
"It's possible, after all, the lifespan of your human beings is too short, a hundred years, and even a change of dynasty, if the mother box is lost during this time, it will be troublesome." Hippolyta shook her head.
Hearing this, Doctor Fate's face also became serious.
Hippolyta was a little hesitant at first, but after hesitating for a while, she still followed in the footsteps of old Bruce Wayne, she was confident that the human in front of her could not hurt her, and at the same time, she couldn't think of why the other party should be unfavorable to her.
"What are you thinking?" Hippolyta walked over to old Bruce Wayne and asked softly.
What kind of relationship does Zhang Yu have with the mother box, or what is the relationship between Zhang Yu and the forces behind the mother box.
So in this way, is the threat posed to the Earth by the mother box and the forces behind it the same as the threat that Barry Allen reminded himself?
Even, is that Flash friend or foe, does he really want Zhang Yao's help, or is he trying to find Zhang Yu through his own hands?
In a word!
Hippolyta didn't break into the bat cave directly, and she really didn't expect that there was a hole in it.
Boarding the elevator, the two stood on the edge, running vertically downward.
Then, out of the talisman of life came a man in a golden helmet, who hovered in mid-air, looked around, and flew towards old Bruce Wayne.
"Bruce!"
And one more thing, that Barry Allen, which Barry Allen is it?
After all, he had personally fought with two Barry Allen five years ago, and the elder Bruce Wayne would not see the Flash who traveled through time, so he immediately linked him to Barry Allen Jr. in the Justice Society.
"Call me over in such a hurry, something happened again?" Kent took off the Helmet of Destiny and paused curiously at Hippolyta's body. "Amazons?"
Sensing Hippolyta's actions, Bruce Wayne Sr. quickly raised his hand to stop her.
After a pause, he continued. "But your actions during this period are not small, the Justice Society is now under a lot of pressure from the Congress, and even the people have begun to protest against us."
It is very likely that the other party is not Barry Allen from his own world, it is possible that he came here from another parallel universe, and it is more likely that it is Barry Allen who created the Flashpoint universe back then.
"Kent." Batman took the initiative to meet him.
Looking at the dark and cold underground world, as well as the magnificent waterfall cave and a skeleton specimen of a Tyrannosaurus rex, Hippolyta glanced at old Bruce Wayne with some surprise.
He knew that Batman wouldn't joke about such a thing anyway, and if he did, it would at least prove that the matter was serious enough to threaten at least one city.
Outside the Bat Cave, two slender girls, one black and one blue, were braving the heavy rain and were rapidly approaching Fort Wayne.
But what was a little strange was that the pouring rain actually bypassed their bodies and fell on the ground like eyes.
Along the way, the clothes on the two girls were so dry that they didn't even have the slightest trace of soaking.
