The Death Knell

Diversity 1, Earth 0, suburbs of Gotham, Wayne Mansion.

The luxurious bedroom is more than 200 square meters, and it looks empty no matter how much furniture is crammed in, not to mention that there is only one special big bed here.

There was a vague and strange smell in the air, and the housekeeper was used to it. He was still dressed neatly and came to the bedside with his head held high, holding coffee and a tablet computer.

Originally it was supposed to be holding a newspaper, and a qualified housekeeper should be good at ironing newspapers with an iron. However, in the Internet age, occasionally using a tablet computer that has been locked for new news can also be used.

"Wake up, Master Bruce, the sun has set, and your fiancée left not long ago."

After experiencing what happened to Thomas Wayne in another world last time, Butler Man began to change his name to Bruce as "Master", but sometimes he forgets this. After all, the power of habit is very powerful.

Batman, who was usually very alert, rarely woke up before the butler came in. The last time he was woken up by someone, he didn't know how many years ago it was.

He sat up and covered his head as if he had a headache, and there seemed to be Serena's scent lingering around him. It was the scent of her hair shampoo and body shower gel, a scent only for women.

"It seemed like I was dead asleep, and that wasn't right," he said.

"Perhaps it starts with the fact that you guys have been messing around in bed since you came back last night?" Alfred complained, because in his opinion, even for his own master and his wife, it is too much to play for more than ten hours at a time. pass.

"The whole thing is wrong from beginning to end." Bruce stood up, put a sheet on his body, and took the coffee from the butler's hand: "I seem to have lost my self-control. Now that I think about it, it feels like I was poisoned." It’s the same as Fujime’s poison or Queen Bee’s charm control..."

"Are you saying that Miss Kyle wants to murder you?" The housekeeper shook his head, picked up the tablet in his hand, and slid it on it.

Bruce Wayne is not Batman. When the butler said this, he laughed to himself.

Indeed, the kitten has been with him for how many years, how could he possibly harm him? Most likely it was a prank to spice things up.

"Okay, maybe the paranoia has returned again." He put down the coffee cup, walked to the bedroom bathroom to wash up, and rubbed his dark circles in the water: "Is there anything I should pay attention to when I'm asleep? ?”

"There is nothing to do with Bruce, but there are a lot of things to do with Batman."

After seeing the master wipe his hands and face with a towel, the housekeeper handed over the tablet. Even though it was still snowing heavily outside, the room was very warm.

The first is the message from the Justice League. Because everyone generally believes that there may be a hard fight after the heavy snow, Zheng Lian has been recharging his energy during these days to avoid being exhausted to fight the cosmic crisis.

The likes of Martian Manhunter and Cyborg were on duty, while the Big Three were at a minimum.

To put it simply, they each deal with matters in their respective territories. For example, Superman runs between Kansas and Metropolis, Diana returns to England and Paradise Island, and Bat plays with those ‘figures’ in Gotham.

The aftermath of the Year of the Villain is still there. Many of the dangerous equipment that Luther spread around the world are still living in the dark. In this way, it is not necessary to decentralize the areas they are responsible for and improve social stability. Not exactly a vacation.

But the invitation to this meeting was sent by Diana. She explained in very polite terms in the encrypted email that she and others had picked up an evil witch from outside the world of diversity, and temporarily placed her under house arrest in the Hall of Justice. She knew something about it. About the existence of a menace called Skeletor.

But no one can analyze anything. I hope Batman can return to the Hall of Justice to ask again when he has time.

The second thing is that Deathstroke from another world asked Batman to investigate, that is, the research on metals and monsters. Currently, the several 'metals' that can be found in Gotham are all placed in a secret place. , except for X metal, this most dangerous energy is stored in the Batcave.

After Deathstroke left, Batman also dealt with another batch of monsters that emerged from the ice and snow, and the results of the investigation of the wreckage after they were killed came out. It was 100% pure water, which was simply incredible.

Also, Deathstroke's positioning signal has disappeared again. He may have taken people out of the multiverse, which directly means that Batman's multi-dimensional internal tracker needs to be updated again.

In addition, there are various messages from the Bat Family and friends from all over the world, various intelligence passively collected by Brother Eyes, intelligence from aliens and parallel universes, etc.

There are thousands of them.

But none of those messages attracted Batman's attention. In the darkness, he looked directly at the latest news, and the fluorescent screen illuminated his face.

It was an email with a photo attached, including a microscopic magnification of a snowflake, accompanied by a passionate text that looked like an electronic postcard, which read:

"You know why I wrote this letter to you, but night has fallen. Come find me in our favorite amusement park and let's party all night long! By the way, the potatoes from the Gotham Police Department are not allowed to come. Excuse me, otherwise many people will die from joy!"

Seeing this, Batman walked to the bedside table without saying a word, pulled a mechanism and the wall next to the bed bounced open, revealing a sliding rod device similar to a fire station that led directly to the ground.

He threw away the sheets from his waist, jumped onto the iron pipe and slid down naked, and replied as his skin squeaked against the metal:

"Tell the Justice League to consult with Shazam. Solomon's wisdom can still be used to deal with the wizard, and I have an appointment tonight."

As he spoke, the person slipped down and disappeared.

Alfred was silent for a moment, put away the tablet computer and said to himself: "Maybe I should put some lubricant on this iron pipe. If Bruce scratches the skin, it will be a mistake on my part as a housekeeper. ..."

.....................

"I wonder if it's my misunderstanding. Batman seems to have slacked off a lot recently?"

In the Hall of Justice, Hawkgirl complained to Martian Manhunter after receiving the reply. She was very dissatisfied when she saw the butler's reply on the screen.

Ron was very calm. He followed Batman's suggestion and started to contact Shazam. At the same time, he silently answered his girlfriend through his psychic abilities: "The reason why you feel that way is just because Batman wants you to feel that way. He must have his own plan, and the characteristic of the Bat plan is to deceive one's own people first."

Dark, mystical, opinionated, and not trusting anyone, this is Batman's style, and this just proves that Batman has no problems, and is even in good shape.

"But should we state in the email that Skeleton King is connected to Darkseid? And also clarify the anti-life equation?" Hawkgirl sighed and answered through 'encrypted communication'.

She knew that her brain was not as good as many people in Zhenglian, but she just felt something was strange.

Ron shook his head.

"This is why I pretended to be Diana and sent a message, because many people know that Diana is not good at computers and Internet technology, so if someone intercepts or monitors the email system, they will think it is the real situation and give up further investigation... ...This is a tacit understanding between me and Batman. He knows what Diana's tone is like when she speaks, and I gave a hint on it. He can recognize it is me and he will naturally know that things are not simple."

Martian Manhunter put down the hand on his temple. At this time, Billy had transformed into Shazam and was rushing towards the Hall of Justice.

"...Have I ever told you that you are very tired from living?" Hawkgirl took off her helmet, narrowed her eyes, and tilted her head to one shoulder.

She also put her hands on the hunter's bald head and touched it distressedly. Then she put her hands through the sides of Ron's neck and lay on his back.

"This is for the whole world. We must become a better version of ourselves." Ron still insisted on the concept of transcendence without wavering at all: "If possible, you'd better contact Senagon. N Metal is also something we must defend. The goal."
