Chapter 298 96. Afu: Let me see what new job Mason has done. 6
Crime Alley is quite crowded at night.
This is especially true after a mysterious bombing and gunfight occurred here a few days ago. According to the Gotham police, a herbal medicine shop was unfortunately burned down in the gunfight. An unknown Gotham man The citizens were involved in this vicious case and are currently suspected to be missing.
In Gotham, this kind of news is basically equated with death.
In this area with a high crime rate, no normal person would go out casually at night, so the black luxury car did not attract any attention when it slowly parked at the entrance of the crime alley.
The old man pushed open the car door and walked out. He opened the door for his ex-wife very gentlemanly. When Mrs. Martha walked out of the car wearing a lady's hat and a long skirt, she moved her shoulders uncomfortably.
She carried her handbag, decorated her chest with a string of beautiful pearl pendants, and whispered to the old man beside her:
"Are you sure there are no cameras around here? How do I feel?"
"That was arranged by your good son."
Damian leaned against the car and explained to his grandparents from another world:
"He has set up a surveillance system in this city so that he can capture criminal incidents as soon as possible and screen and prevent them. Under normal circumstances, all surveillance systems in the city will not be turned on. Maybe something happened in the city tonight. .”
He played with a black batarang and said:
"I have written down the positions of all the cameras. Do you want me to help dismantle them?"
"We don't want to draw attention to ourselves."
The old man said:
"That's it. It won't stay long anyway. Remember to delete this record when you go back to the Batcave."
Damian made an OK gesture, then took out a youth-style peaked cap and put it on his head, waiting for the two elderly people just like the entourage who was driving.
And Thomas and Martha strolled into the crime alley that was almost exactly the same as in their world. They walked slowly under the dim street lights.
They were silent and didn't say a word, but every step they took became heavier.
The atrocities that happened that night thirty years ago were replayed in the hearts of the two of them. They could clearly remember every detail of what happened here. Just under the streetlight in front of them, the shameful robber rushed out beside the trash can.
He didn't ask for money at all, he raised his pistol and shot at the Wayne family. Poor little Bruce was shot and fell.
blood
It's everywhere.
Lady Martha swayed a little.
It was obviously a painful memory, but at this moment she had the urge to laugh loudly. She endured it very hard, but the corners of her mouth had bent to a dangerous arc.
"Martha!"
The old man's voice sounded like an alarm bell in Mrs. Martha's heart, causing her to wake up from the crazy temptation. She reached into her bag and took out the demulcent gift from Mason, opened the cap and took a sip.
She let out a sigh of relief as her mind cleared.
"You have to control yourself!"
Thomas squatted down and stretched out his hand under the street lamp to touch the empty, dirty ground. There was nothing there, but in the old man's eyes, there was still blood that could never be wiped away.
He was also obviously suppressing the cold desire to kill in his heart, and said in a mute voice to Mrs. Martha who was wiping her eyes next to him:
"I didn't intend to bring you here. I thought it would be terrible to have you near Bruce, but Mason convinced me. He said he believed that a mother's protective desire for her child can trump all crazy impulses.
I also know that you hate me and you have never forgiven me. I am not going to ask for your forgiveness. I just want to tell you that our child is still alive in this world!
We in this world chose to accept death in order to protect him. This is a great sacrifice.
However, there are those hiding in the shadows who want to harm him, those tentacles of malice hiding in the shadow of his cloak. He is the one who stands in the light and darkness, and he wants to protect his world.
That's what we're here for. ”
Thomas put his black gloves back on and said:
"We may not care about the life or death of this world, but we have to protect our children. This is the only possible reason for reconciliation between the two of us.
So, if you can't control yourself and block my way, or if you go crazy again and hurt Bruce Martha, I will never show mercy to you again!
I will prepare a grave for you, right here! ”
"That's what I'm telling you too, Thomas."
Mrs. Martha wiped her red and swollen eyes and said softly:
"I don't care what deal you made with Mason Cooper, and I don't care what you plan to do in this world. My only purpose in coming here is to keep those bad guys away from my baby.
He has been bullied for too long.
Maybe it was because the world laughed at him for not having his parents by his side, but now, he has them! No one can come near my baby again until I die.
Go find someone!
Thomas, I need lots and lots of people.
I need many, many weapons, I need many, many cannon fodder who are not afraid of death, I want to control the darkness of this city and turn it into Batman's sword and shield.
Someone had to help him bear those dark things to free my baby from its cruel fate. ”
"But this city needs a Batman."
The old man stood up and said:
"The city needs him."
"Batman?"
Mrs. Martha sneered and said:
"Aren't you?"
"I'm not the person this city needs. I tried and you saw the results."
The old man sighed, turned towards the exit of the dark alley, and said:
"Let's go, it's time to go home and take a look."
Mrs. Martha reached out and took off the specially prepared pearl necklace from her neck, tore it into pieces and sprinkled it on the ground like a ritual, and then followed the old man forward without looking back.
Just as they were about to leave Crime Alley, a scream suddenly sounded from not far away, as if something terrible had happened to a girl.
The voice was filled with fear and uneasiness.
But neither of them took any action and just stood there watching. A few seconds later, a girl in sportswear ran out staggeringly. She was holding a bouquet of white flowers for the ceremony in her hand, and behind her were several men with nasty voices. The gangster whistled and chased.
Apparently, they planned to have some "fun".
"Hey! Old man! Get away! Oh, this aunt takes good care of herself. Do you want to play with me?"
Seeing the old man and Mrs. Martha standing next to them, these guys with spermatozoa suddenly roared rudely, while the frightened girl hid beside her and shivered.
"Alas"
The old man moved his fingers and said:
"It really is like a cesspool."
"Send it off, Thomas."
Mrs. Martha said with a look of disgust:
"Don't waste time."
"Bang bang bang"
Several piercing gunshots rang out in the dark alley, and the flickering firelight reflected the fallen figure. The old man did not give them a chance to escape or time to defend themselves.
He has always advocated a straightforward style.
"Be good, good boy, don't look at me."
Mrs. Martha bent down and covered the eyes of the frightened girl next to her with a smile on her face. She noticed the white flowers in the girl's hands and asked:
"Who are you honoring here?"
"My. My ex-boyfriend."
The girl who was frightened by the gunfire grabbed the bouquet in her hand tightly, shaking her body and said sadly:
"He lives nearby and disappeared in the chaos a few days ago. I just want to tell him what I couldn't say."
"Well, it's so miserable."
Lady Martha's dispassionate relief:
"He will hear it, but it's time for you to go home now. It's not every day that you meet a bad guy walking out and showing kindness. Listen to me, go back and find a new man to please yourself.
< br>
Isn't that what feelings are like? ”
The old man and Mrs. Martha who finished their work quickly disappeared into the darkness, and several corpses were disposed of cleanly, including the bullet casings.
The frightened girl bit her lip and walked through the darkness. She was very scared, but she finally persisted to the ruined shop. She placed the mourning flowers in her hand beside the ruins and picked up another flower among the bricks and gravel. A twisted silver bottle cap.
She remembered that the guy who had disappeared from her life always liked to play with bottles and cans in his spare time.
"Goodbye, Mason."
The little nurse Wendy closed her eyes. When the wind blew her long hair, she clasped her hands and said softly:
"I will continue your unfinished business and use the knowledge you left to help more patients. I wish you happiness in another world"
At the same time, in the room of Osborne Tower, Mason felt the strange gazes of the people around him with a strange expression. Harley at his feet had already begun to grind her teeth in hatred.
"Ahem, it's not what you think!"
Mason explained with difficulty:
"It's just colleagues, I swear, nothing happened like you imagined. Damn it! Aren't you watching Batboy's joke here tonight?
Why are you all looking at me like that? ”
"Mr. K!"
Harley hugged his legs and said through gritted teeth:
"You are not good."
——
"I always feel that the girl just now looks familiar. I must have seen her somewhere."
The black luxury car drove all the way to Wayne Manor and stopped as it approached. The three of them got out of the car and walked. Damian, who was being held by Mrs. Martha, frowned and said:
"That seems to be Mason's colleague? I have seen her information in Bruce's anti-Mason tactics."
"Don't think too much, he's just an ordinary person."
Mrs. Martha looked at Wayne Manor standing in the dark night in front of her. While talking to her little grandson, she nostalgically admired the place where she had lived for a long time.
The Wayne Manor of her world was long abandoned.
But the building in front of me is obviously well maintained, and its elegant appearance alone reveals the majesty and power of Gotham's first family.
There seems to be a charity party being held here tonight.
It is a tradition of the Wayne family, especially after playboy Bruce Wayne took over the family, that there will be a banquet every month to donate money to the city and the poor of Gotham.
This is also one of the few opportunities for local dignitaries to meet the legendary Young Master Wayne.
But unfortunately, Mr. Bruce, who is busy dating celebrities and high-class ladies, is not always there.
"We can go in and have a look."
The old man took out two potion tubes, which contained the polyjuice potion that Mason had prepared in advance.
He and Mrs. Martha each drank a bottle, and after changing their appearance, Damian, the heir of the family, led him grandly into the manor.
The banquet was very lively, but it did not attract the attention of the two elderly people at all.
As if they were returning to their own home, they bypassed the servants and entered the main building of the manor. Then, under the leadership of Damian, they walked into Bruce Wayne's room where they would rarely stay except for sleeping. bedroom.
The moment the door was opened, the eyes of the old man and Martha fell on Bruce Wayne's bedside at the same time.
There is an old photo placed there.
It was a photo of him with his parents when he was seven years old.
The wall opposite the bed is covered with similar photos and has been made into a photo wall, where all the memories of Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne are stored.
"He remembers us. He never forgets."
Lady Martha burst into tears for a moment.
The noble lady who had gone crazy and was awakened cried uncontrollably, and the old man's eyes were also slightly red.
He controlled himself not to show a weak expression, but when he saw the old stethoscope placed in the glass cover of the cabinet as a treasure by the master, he couldn't help clenching his fists.
In another world, he also gave his son a stethoscope on his eighth birthday, hoping that his child would grow up to be a talented person in the future and break away from the dark career of the Wayne family and become a decent person living in the sun.
It seems that Thomas in this world also has the same expectations for his children.
Damian, who was guarding the door, watched with complicated expressions as his grandparents from another world stayed in the room of his father, whom he never liked. He knew very well how cruel and ruthless the two people in front of him were.
Even though he didn't spend much time with the old man, this cold and ruthless old man's status in his heart was already equal to that of his deceased grandfather.
Lei Xiaogu and the old man will definitely have a lot in common.
Many of their ideas are very similar.
But just like these two cold-faced evil stars who can start a horrific massacre at any time, now their emotions are exposed to such an extent that the little lunatic can't help but start thinking about some topics about family and relatives.
Even if they are separated by life and death, even if they are separated by a world, Thomas, Martha and Bruce can still share the same feelings to this incredible extent.
He admitted that at this moment he was a little jealous of his father.
Perhaps, he should also give Bruce Wayne a chance to let that cold and clumsy man learn to be a good father.
"Master Damian? Where have you been these days? God, we almost turned the entire Gotham upside down."
The sudden sound startled the meditating little lunatic.
His first reaction was to push Ah Fu away, fearing that the old housekeeper would be killed by his grandfather and grandmother from another world.
But he obviously underestimated the "acting" ability of the Wayne family members. When Damian was a little at a loss, Mrs. Martha and the old man had quickly sorted out their emotions.
"You! Wait. You are"
Afu walked to the door and was shocked when he saw Mrs. Martha's back. Then when he saw the old man next to him turning around, he felt like he was struck by lightning.
He swore that for a moment, he seemed to see the master and his wife who had been dead for many years appear in front of him in an extremely vivid form.
But when the middle-aged couple turned around, the unfamiliar appearance brought Alfred back to reality.
"Hello, Butler Alfred."
The old man showed off his temperament as a business tycoon and took the initiative to shake hands with the old housekeeper with a smile. He said softly:
"I have admired the name of the Wayne family for a long time, and I hope you don't mind taking the liberty of visiting me tonight."
Mrs. Martha also put her hand on Damian's shoulder with a smile on her face and said with a smile:
"My husband and I accidentally discovered this little cutie while on a trip a few days ago, when he was unconscious on the side of the road after taking some dangerous drugs.
We spent some time taking care of him and asked him for his address to send him back tonight.
Maybe I shouldn't say this.
But as a butler, you should probably spend more energy on the next generation heir of the Wayne family, instead of letting him run around alone like a little lunatic.
He was only eleven and he deserved a safer life. ”
Mrs. Martha's words shocked Ah Fu. When he looked at Master Damian, he did find that his face was a little pale, and he looked like he had experienced pain.
The old housekeeper suddenly felt guilty for his dereliction of duty.
Although he still had doubts about the identity of the two people in front of him, he still politely invited the two kind people to attend tonight's banquet and notified Batman, who was patrolling at night, to rush back to the manor immediately.
However, when the master returned and picked up the disguised identity of "Bruce Wayne", the two "good Samaritans" had already left the manor.
Just as quietly as they came, they left as quietly as they came.
"I see him! Bruce, my Bruce, he's all grown up, so handsome, so handsome, just like what I dream about when I dream.
No, it's ten thousand times better than in my dream, he is right in front of me, within reach. ”
In the woods outside the manor, Mrs. Martha put down the telescope in her hand and said to the old man who put on a battle suit next to her:
"Don't you take a look?"
"No need, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
The old man reached out and picked up the black straight-edged sword at hand. He stroked the hilt, which was carved by an evil spirit, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Now, it's time for us to get down to business."
"Then go ahead."
Mrs. Martha quickly took out a set of servant clothes from her luggage and said while changing:
"I want to lurk here, just stay with my baby and not go anywhere. He must eat the food cooked by his mother, and he must have a good rest.
Look at how tired he looks. "(End of Chapter)
