Chapter 76 Conversation with Batman (an update from yesterday!)

"Thank you for helping Dick and the others!"

Bruce found Ian. He was still wearing a hospital gown and his face was still a little pale.

Ian asked Rachel to learn spells from Xue Feifei, and Big Big Wolf went to discuss technology with Caitlin, a great doctor.

He faced Bruce himself and said with concern: "Your injury has not recovered yet. You should lie in bed and rest."

"The words quiet and rest have nothing to do with me a long time ago."

Bruce sat on the chair, his attitude was not sharp, but a little warm.

Ian wasn't sure whether this was an act or an expression of his true thoughts, so he said directly: "Mr. Wayne, what do you want from me?"

"Just call me by my name. You have helped us so much and found Jason. We should be considered friends." Batman held up the warm water Alfred prepared for him.

Ian couldn't relax in front of Batman: "Okay, Bruce! Can you answer my question?"

He listened to Ian's question, put down the glass in his hand, sipped the water from his lips, and said, "Dick told me everything about the past few days. Did you come to Gotham to deal with the demonic threat?"

"Are you doubting the purpose of our coming to Gotham?" Ian turned the glass in his hand, skipped the useless temptation, and went straight to the point.

"Actions are the most powerful words. I believe you are good people." Bruce was a little surprised by Ian's frankness, and then he rarely directly revealed his inner thoughts: "But I need to know who my enemy is."

Ian introduced the origin of the Three Houses, and then said: "The situation has become complicated now. The believers of the Three Houses have colluded with the Court of Owls. And there is another one hidden in the shadows of Gotham that we have not discovered until now.

Magical power."

"magic?"

Bruce chewed on this familiar yet unfamiliar word. Big Big Wolf's excellent medical skills made him recover well and his mind was clear.

"Maybe I shouldn't have refused Zatanna's invitation, but it's too late now. How do the strengths of these demons compare with yours?"

Bruce knows that Ian is a superhuman and is much stronger than the messy criminals in Gotham City.

He hopes to use Ian as a standard to evaluate the threat level this time.

Ian shook his head: "Although I don't want to admit it, the magical power that Hecate can use as a test is definitely stronger than mine.

However, if the Three Palace Demons want to enter the earth, they must have a blood heir named Rachel. The Court of Owls will not fight me just for a failure. They have their own pursuits.

The most important thing is that it is still unclear what the third magical force is. The unknown is always the biggest fear!"

Bruce listened quietly to Ian's words and understood that although Gotham had returned to calm on the surface, undercurrents were still surging beneath the water, and the vortex stirred up could pull the entire Gotham into the abyss of destruction.

When Ian saw that Bruce was silent, he knew that his mind was completely distracted by the current situation in Gotham.

He asked the other party his most interesting question: "When you were arrested, did you see anyone from the League of Assassins?"

"I did see people from the League of Assassins, but they were uncharacteristically trying their best to hide their existence."

Bruce recalled these brutal days, with no physical or mental changes, as if he was just traveling and nothing special.

"I tried to get some words out of them several times, but Jason was too familiar with my methods, so all my attempts came to nothing. From Jason's mouth, I got nothing except his hatred for me."

"It's too much to cover up!"

Ian sighed, if it really didn't matter, just admit it directly, why bother making up some non-existent facts.

The other party's actions forced him to consider whether the ninja master had received orders from Sannomiya and was colluding with those cultists.

"What did you think of?"

Ian didn't hide himself, Bruce easily read his micro-expressions.

"It's time, you should go back to bed and rest!"

Alfred stood up, interrupted the conversation between the two, and drove Bruce back to his own room with a dark face.

Bruce asked the old butler: "One last question, Alfred. After talking about this question, I will go back to the room right away."

"Don't bargain with me!" Alfred showed the authority of his elders instead of being a butler and drove Bruce back upstairs.

Ian couldn't help laughing when he saw Bruce being complained by Alfred.

No matter how ruthless Batman is when facing criminals, after returning to Wayne Manor, he is still more like a human being than a detective machine.

"Ian, watch the news!"

As soon as Bruce left, Dick hurriedly walked to Ian and turned on the TV directly.

All channels are showing the same news:

"It is reported that a large-scale shooting incident suddenly broke out at a fast food restaurant in Gotham City. Diners and police officers shot at each other, resulting in 30 deaths."

"Director Gordon has personally visited the scene. Let's ask the Gotham Police Department for its opinion on the case."

Gordon's figure disappeared in the news. He evaded all reporters and walked into the crime scene without wanting to communicate with the media at all.

Ian's eyes were very sharp, and he caught a certain frame and saw Gordon's frowning face.

"What's so special about this attack that makes you so anxious?"

People who came around might look at Dick, waiting to hear his explanation.

Everyone knows what Gotham is like.

Thirty people dying at once would be shocking in other cities, but in Gotham it's not a big deal.

Dick quickly explained: "Barbara used Director Gordon's authority to log into the police station's intranet and found the forensic records of the crime scene. The test showed that there were residues of Scarecrow's gas at the scene."

"These people are really restless!"

Ian complained, and then opened the file that Barbara had brought.

The attack had just happened, and even though Director Gordon arrived at the scene quickly, the people from the Forensic Division didn't find out much.

In addition to Scarecrow's special poison gas detection report, there are photos of the victims.

All the victims had abnormally protruding facial features, and their faces were convulsed and twisted into ghost masks. It was obvious that they were scared to death.

"This attack is indeed the work of Scarecrow. Even without the help of Arkham Knight, he or those behind him are determined to carry out the plan to the end."

"But what is this plan?"

"No matter what Jonathan is planning, he will always leave clues on the scene."

Bruce returned to the Batcave. He said to Dick: "Go and talk to Jason and see what he knows. Remember, he is a criminal now, don't let him lead you."

"Ian, if you don't mind, let's go see the scene."

"Then let's go!"

Faced with Bruce's invitation, Ian did not refuse, he got directly into the Batmobile, and the two left the Batcave and drove towards the city.
