Chapter 63 Look at me, let me announce something
Goodness is intuitive and perhaps expressed in different ways, while evil is usually good at camouflaging and hiding.
The equipment of the Gotham Police Department is much better than that of most other cities. Qin Su can shoot the black mask in the head with one shot. There is no reason why other police officers cannot, but they cannot find the hidden evil and cannot enforce justice.
Qin Su did not wear Superman glasses during this trip, and was followed by a row of paparazzi. People were watching him overtly and covertly. This situation may have to wait until the mayor's election ends in a month to improve.
Penguin is not a good person, so when he takes the position of mayor, the first thing he will do will definitely be to sympathize with others and oppose dissidents, and the Court of Owls is obviously not on Cobot's list of friends.
But when the paparazzi noticed Qin Su's destination, they silently stopped following him.
Because Qin Su was going to Wayne Manor, the nest of bats and now the forbidden land of owls!
Qin Su drove a police car to the gate of the manor and called through the doorbell.
"Hello, I'm police officer Qin Su, I've taken the liberty to come to visit."
After verifying Qin Su's identity, the door to Wayne Manor automatically opened and Qin Su drove straight in.
As we all know, there is only one talker in Wayne Manor, and that is Alfred Pennyworth. Batman owes his life to this octogenarian old man.
In the reception room of Wayne Manor, Alfred was receiving Qin Su.
"Welcome, Gotham's new Light Knight. I'm glad you can come to Wayne Manor. How can I help you?" Alfred brought a cup of coffee and added two pieces of sugar to it.
"If you are looking for Master Wayne, I'm afraid you have to choose another time. He is not at home now - he is not at home most of the time. Maybe you should make an appointment with him to meet at a time. Please, not in Wayne. Building.”
Alfred was very enthusiastic about Qin Su because he gave the old man a little hope, a hope for Bruce to take off his cape. Unlike Gordon, Qin Su, the second-generation Bright Knight, could possibly replace Batman. The role it plays is to act as a restraining force for justice against evil.
Qin Su took the coffee, took a sip and put it on the table.
"I'm not here for Mr. Wayne. It's just that during the investigation, I accidentally learned that a certain key item was stored in Wayne Manor, so I came to visit suddenly.
I'd like to see something like that. ”
Alfred looked serious: "There can be no items related to crimes in Wayne Manor."
Because those things were put in the Batcave.
Qin Su explained: "You misunderstood, what I am looking for has nothing to do with crime..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by a shout of joy.
"Look, who's here? Isn't this the Knight of Light who has been in the limelight recently?"
Hearing this slightly childish voice, Qin Su's expression dropped subconsciously. He had forgotten that there were more than just Batman and Alfred in Wayne Manor.
And his great partner.
Damian was wearing a suit and stretched out his hand to Qin Su: "I am Damian, Damian Wayne. You don't need to introduce yourself. Your news has been broadcast frequently on TV recently. I can say that I know you well."< br>
After Damian introduced himself proudly, he thought Qin Su couldn't recognize him, but he didn't know that his secret identity was not a secret to Qin Su from the beginning.
Qin Su pretended to know nothing about him and shook hands with him in surprise: "Mr. Wayne also has a child. Well, this is the first time I know about it. Damian, nice to meet you."
After this period of training, Qin Su's acting skills have improved. At least Damian is very satisfied with Qin Su's reaction. He plans to become friends with Qin Su first, so that when his identity is revealed, Qin Su will be too shocked to say anything. Words come.
Damian was excited when he thought of this scene.
Qin Su, who was cooperating with the performance, saw the smile in Damian's eyes and easily guessed his thoughts. The thoughts of boys of this age are always easy to understand.
But at least Damian seemed to be recovering well, and it seemed that Qin Su's therapy was quite useful.
Damian sat opposite Qin Su: "Let's continue. You said there is a certain key item in Wayne Manor. Why are you so sure?"
"Because someone who doesn't want to be named told me that it is in the collection room of Wayne Manor. Can you take me there to have a look?"
The message Ha Lin told Qin Su was very short, but it subverted Qin Su's cognition.
She told Qin Su that the Tiger Talisman was dug out from an antique statue in Wayne Manor on a whim by Harley. Later, the power of the Tiger Talisman was accidentally triggered, and Harleen was separated.
"Of course, Ah Fu, take us to the collection room." Damian agreed without hesitation.
"Yes, young master."
Alfred made no objection, even though the Wayne family's collection room was filled with priceless works of art and antiques, and it was obviously inappropriate to let him enter during the first meeting.
But Alfred looked at Damian who was walking alongside Qin Su. It was rare to see the young master so happy. Since both young masters were willing to give Qin Su their trust, he would certainly not be stingy.
Alfred took Qin Su to a locked room. After entering the password, the door opened automatically.
"Here are hundreds of years of Wayne's collection. Please don't reach out and touch it. This sentence is for you, young master."
Damian secretly pouted: "Isn't it just that when I first came here, I took a sword from the wall for morning practice? Do you still remember it now..."
"That sword belonged to your great-grandfather, and I didn't remember it deliberately. Every day when I tidy up the yard, the bushes that are the objects of morning exercise will remind me."
Damian and Alfred were sarcastic towards each other like grandfather and grandson, but Qin Su did not participate in it.
Qin Su walked quickly around the collection room. What he saw were some works of art that he could not understand, as well as many exquisite porcelains. Normally, Qin Su might stop and comment on them, but he came here just for Same thing.
And that thing is not here.
Qin Su searched from beginning to end, but still couldn't find it. He didn't give up and asked Alfred: "Is this the entire Wayne collection and nothing else?"
"That's all." Alfred nodded.
Damian crossed his arms and said, "It seems you are looking in the wrong place, Qin Su."
"No, she has no reason to lie to me. She won't get any benefits from lying to me..." Qin Su frowned. Could it be that Ha Lin reported false information that could be easily exposed just to delay time?
"But Afu is the person who knows Wayne Manor best. If he says it's all, it's all."
Alfred bowed: "No, young master, I don't fully understand this manor, at least I didn't know that owls build their nests here.
But Officer Qin Su, you can describe to me the appearance of the item you are looking for. Maybe it is placed elsewhere in the manor as a decoration. ”
"A huge stone statue with a golden surface and a dragon with a coiled body." Qin Su briefly described it.
"The golden dragon statue? I have the impression that it was placed elsewhere by the young master."
Alfred took them to an inconspicuous room, and the procedures required to open this room were ten times more complicated than the previous collection room. Alfred struggled with irises, fingerprints, and passwords. It took a long time to open the door.
Damian was surprised because even he didn't know this room existed.
"The young master doesn't know that it's normal. This is the room where the young master stores the belongings of Master Thomas and Mrs. Martha."
The room was filled with worthless trinkets, toys, and photos, but Qin Su could see the love his parents had for their son.
"The young master rarely enters this room. He doesn't want to dwell on the past."
The large items here were covered with a layer of dust-proof cloth, and only a few outlines were exposed. It was impossible to identify the items inside from the outside, but Alfred walked directly to a piece of red cloth. He recognized everything here. Things, because he would come in and sort them out every month.
When the red cloth is lifted, the ferocious-looking dragon head is exposed to the air. The intricate dragon body forms the entire main body of the statue, with twelve octagonal holes carved abruptly on top.
Alfred introduced: "This statue was obtained by Mr. Thomas at an auction before the young master was born. It was originally placed in the collection room, but in an accident, someone removed the stone from the hole. For safety reasons , I just moved it here
That took me a lot of effort. "Alfred touched his waist.
Apparently Batman didn't care about the little property damage Harley caused him, otherwise he would have recognized that the spell had been in his home from the beginning.
"Are the holes above originally empty?"
Alfred fell into memories: "Originally, there were three holes that were filled. After... that incident, two of them were empty, and the last one was lost after Harley Quinn caused havoc in the manor."
"Those three stones should be engraved with some kind of animal patterns, can you tell me?"
"Of course."
……
Not long after Qin Su left Wayne Manor, Damian, who had changed into Robin uniform, found him.
"You went to Wayne Manor. Is there any clue about the talisman there?" Completely different from the vigor and vitality he had in Wayne Manor, Damian acted bitter and resentful at this moment.
Qin Su did not expose Damian: "Well, I found the owner of the spell - the Holy Lord, but all I found was the statue, there is no soul in it."
The stone statue is very lifelike, just like a statue made of a real dragon that has been petrified, and this is indeed the case. It was precisely because of this that Thomas Wayne photographed it.
But the statue can only be said to be lifelike, because it lacks one thing, the finishing touch, the eyes are where the soul of the dragon lies, and the eyes on the dragon's head are dull. No matter how many details there are, it is just a statue. It is missing. The most important soul.
There are only two possibilities. One is that the Holy Lord's soul did not come to this world with the body, and the other is that the Holy Lord's soul also came, but he gave up his body...
According to Alfred's recollection, when Mr. Thomas brought this big stone back from the auction, there were only three runes on it. The one that Harry poached was the Tiger Charm, and the ones stolen by the Court of Owls were the Pig Charm and the Horse Charm. .
"Robin, you know, we always thought that extradimensional visitors like Groudon and Manaphy only visited this world recently, but now it seems that we were wrong, very wrong."
At least before Batman was born, the petrified Holy Lord had already come to this world. Think about it, in nineteenth-century America, what could the Holy Lord in his soul state do?
"Robin, call the Justice League, this is not just an internal Gotham matter."
When rescuing Groudon, Qin Su told Damian about the possible consequences of Groudon being controlled. His face was not so solemn that time.
Because this time it cannot be undone, nor can it be stopped.
Robin immediately started calling Batman.
So Qin Su's police car automatically popped up a projection screen, which showed the scene in the Hall of Justice.
All members of the Justice League gathered together, and Batman sat in the middle of the conference table. It wasn't because Qin Su was too proud, but he just happened to catch up with the Zhenglian meeting.
"Hey, Qin Su!"
Flash waved excitedly at him at the speed of light.
"I heard about the good things you did. I really hope you can come back to Central City. I will enjoy working with you."
Hearing Little Flash's declaration of blatant poaching, Batman immediately showed disapproval. Currently, Groudon and Manaphy have not found their destination, and Qin Su cannot leave Gotham for the time being.
"But I don't like it! Because some super-fast guy will turn me into a loser sitting in an office doing nothing."
Qin Su stared at the Flash unkindly until he avoided it with a guilty conscience.
"I'm just trying to help other people..."
"Including helping the old lady cross the road before me?"
The Flash didn't reply at this time. Seeing that the style of the painting was becoming more relaxed and humorous, Batman quickly used his voice with terminal laryngeal cancer to bring the atmosphere back to the main tone of darkness and depth.
"Quiet, Flash, no matter what kind of dispute you have with Qin Su, you can spend five seconds to go to Gotham after the meeting. Now let me listen to Qin Su's reason for calling the Justice League."
Hal put his arms under the back of his head and agreed: "Yes, I was just reporting...summarizing all the recent abnormal events in sector 2814, and you interrupted my summary.
Hey, do you know the concept of sector 2814? Let me tell you, that is 138 planets including the earth..."
"Hal, Hal-" The Flash pulled Hal's uniform and whispered his name.
"What's wrong, Flash?" Hal stopped rambling.
"Look over there."
Hal turned to meet Batman's eyes and immediately raised his hands in surrender.
"Okay, okay, I lost control. This should be my time." He emphasized again.
Batman turned to look at Qin Su.
"I am very happy to see the joyful interaction of the Justice League, but I am sorry that you may not be in the same mood next time."
Qin Su sent Batman a photo of the petrified Holy Lord that he took with his cell phone, and the photo was displayed in front of all alliance members.
"This is what I found in Wayne Manor, another outsider who does not belong to this universe, but all I found was this body, and his soul was hidden."
"I can handle this piece of broken rock by myself, let alone other alliance members. This is not a problem." Hal said confidently.
Qin Su corrected him: "No, Green Lantern, outsiders are not the main problem. The problem lies in the time when the Holy Lord appeared. He has left video records since at least the 19th century."
Batman realized the seriousness of the matter: "Qin Su, have you confirmed it?"
"The pig charm is in your hand, Batman. You can go to Wayne Manor and see. The charm can be perfectly embedded in the holes of the stone statue, because it belongs there."
Batman enlarged the holes in the petrified Holy Lord's body and compared the size with the talisman, which matched perfectly.
Now Hal could no longer maintain his previous relaxed look: "Impossible! The records of the Lantern Ring show that the first [Collapse] occurred two months ago. How could there be outsiders in the 19th century!"< br>
The Green Lantern Ring itself is equivalent to a miniature supercomputer, connected to the "Book of Oa", which stores the knowledge of the entire universe and is updated every moment. In theory, nothing in the universe can be hidden from the Green Lantern Corps. In fact, there are always things that Lantern Ring doesn't know.
But Hal's statement is not unreasonable. In the 19th century, it was the former owner of his ring, Abin Su, who was responsible for protecting Sector 2814. It is impossible for this legendary Green Lantern to not notice the aliens landing on Earth.
Qin Su noticed Hal's wording: "Collapse, is this the Justice League's name for the phenomenon of aliens coming to the earth? It is indeed very vivid, just like the aliens visiting the earth in the original science fiction novels. way.
But I think, everyone in the Justice League, you seem to have got it wrong at the beginning. The Collapse first happened two months ago, and the Outsiders appeared in the 19th century.
These two things are not contradictory. ”
Qin Su's statement directly awakened the Justice League, and no one interrupted the young policeman's speech this time.
"These outsiders are not as simple as the parallel universes in science fiction works. They are very far away from us and can be said to have no connection, but they have come to our world.
Let us zoom in and assume that there are parallel universes in our world, divided by similar universes, let me call it the DC universe, and divide other universes of the same scale into one system, then within this system, time and space would be meaningless because the DC Universe includes all timelines and parallel universes. ”
This is why Qin Su urgently called the Justice League. No matter how many collapses were observed in total, the time and place of each collapse could not be predicted.
As a result, the quick-reaction defense mechanism developed by Batman is completely ineffective against Collapse, because no matter what, the only thing the Justice League can decide is the present, and changing the past will only make things worse.
And every collapse may change the timeline.
"I don't know how the Collapse phenomenon is caused and what the rules are, but everyone in the Justice League, the changes brought by Collapse to this world are not only the present, but also a reflection of the past, which will definitely affect the future! < br>
It's time to get moving, Justice League! ”
Recently I forgot to ask for a ticket. I sent it, but the data did not pass Sanjiang...
