A certain sword soul's infinite journey

Chapter 765 It might be very lively tonight
That night, Bruce and Selena, who had been busy all day outside, returned to the manor with tired expressions.

As soon as she walked into the room, Selena collapsed on the bed as if she had collapsed, her arms tightly hugging the soft quilt, her pretty face showed a happy expression.

Seeing this, Bruce couldn't help but smile knowingly, then sat at the desk and sorted out the information he had investigated today.

On the wall in front of him, there are photos of Maroni, his important leaders, and several high-level black police officers. Beside the photos, there are some cards with incriminating information.

All these pieces of information are connected by lines.

Finally converged on the 'Arkham Development Plan' cut out from the newspaper in the center...

Selena narrowed her eyes slightly, letting her body sink into the soft bed, her lazy appearance was like a kitten lying in bed.

Suddenly, Selena rolled over and sat up, sitting cross-legged on the bed with the pillow in her arms, staring at Bruce's back and the wall covered with pictures and lines in a daze.

"Bruce..." Selena suddenly said.

Bruce paused, then turned around suspiciously.

"What's wrong, Selena?"

"I still don't understand, why don't we ask Mr. Prince for help? If he can make a move, what kind of Maroni, what kind of black police organization should be nothing to worry about?"

Looking at Selena with a puzzled face, Bruce was slightly taken aback, and then couldn't help laughing.

"Didn't you always refuse to ask others for help before, and you said that this is something you caused, and you will settle it yourself..."

"That's because I didn't know the seriousness of the matter at the time!"

Selena rolled her eyes, then looked at Bruce seriously and said, "Seriously, Bruce, this matter is completely beyond our capabilities, and instead of continuing to be so uselessly busy like today, it's better to hand it over to More capable people, such as your teacher, Mr. Prince!"

"..."

The smile on Bruce's face gradually faded, and turned into a frown, lost in thought.

After a long time, Bruce shook his head solemnly, looked at Selena and said in a deep voice: "No, the reason why the Prince family has a detached position in Gotham is because they don't interfere in the fights three blocks away, but if the teacher To come forward and solve the black police organization and Maroni is tantamount to breaking this invisible rule."

"At that time, the entire Gotham will be shaken by this, and all underworld forces and secret organizations will unite to declare war on the Prince family!"

"...Is that an exaggeration?"

Looking at Bruce's dignified face, Selena couldn't help showing suspicion.

Bruce nodded seriously: "Selena, you don't know, there has always been an invisible hand manipulating the fate and future of Gotham City behind the scenes, and all conspiracies and crimes, no matter how big or small, are related to this Only the black hand behind the scenes cannot get away from it."

"So, instead of saying that it is the entire Gotham that is fighting against the Prince family, it is better to say that it is the black hand behind Gotham who is manipulating Gotham - I know you will be wondering, if there is such an organization in Gotham City, why is it You've never heard its name..."

"Yes yes yes!"

Selena nodded quickly and said.

Bruce paused, and then said with a serious expression: "No, you've actually heard of its name—this black hand hiding behind the scenes is the legendary court of owls in the street!"

"The Court of Owls?!"

Selena looked at Bruce in astonishment.

"That's right." Bruce said seriously, "Think about it, if it weren't for such a force secretly contending with the Prince family, with the influence of the teacher in the military and police circles, the Gotham Police Department would have been taken down a long time ago. Change the police uniforms of those worms in the police force, and replace them with a group of more just and enthusiastic police officers, and then clean up Gotham from top to bottom!"

"But he didn't do it. Why? It's because the whole Gotham City is against the Prince family under the manipulation of the black hand behind the scenes! Selena, Gotham is rotten to the bone. If you can't think They wake up, and not even the teachers can save the city."

"..."

Hearing Bruce's sighing explanation, Selena couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

At the same time, Bruce secretly apologized in his heart.

What he said just now was half true and false. The Court of Owls does exist, but to say that it can compete with the Prince family is completely a fantasy.

The reason why Bruce said that was to give Selena a plausible explanation.

Because the person who really stopped Lin Yi from making a move was actually Bruce himself!
Four years ago, Bruce secretly investigated Lin Yi's real identity to no avail, so he came to the church depressed, intending to complain to Father Vicky, an old acquaintance of his father.

As a result, when passing by the church hall, I happened to catch a glimpse of the angel statue on the colored windows of the church, and found a little black cat with blue eyes squatting on the shoulder of Archangel Raphael!

For a moment, Bruce shuddered as if struck by lightning.

Since then, Bruce has begun to investigate the historical records of Archangel Raphael.

Then he naturally discovered that in the missionary books of the seventeenth century, all the descriptions related to the incarnation of Raphael walking in the world are basically wearing white clothes, black hair and black eyes, and there is a blue eye beside him. cat.

This is highly consistent with his teacher's usual attire.

Although Lin Yi never admitted his identity, Bruce had already determined in his heart that his teacher was the incarnation of the legendary Archangel Raphael.

After the initial excitement, Bruce fell into deep thought.

Naturally, having an angel as their guide is an excellent thing, but human beings cannot always rely on gods and angels for salvation, they must learn to redeem themselves.

So, after a night of thinking, Bruce found Lin Yi the next day and reached an agreement with him.

In Bruce's heart, this agreement was the reason why Lin Yi never took action to save Gotham, but in fact, Lin Yi had no intention of saving Gotham from the very beginning, because the gods could not save the city at all, they could only save them from the city. Morbid citizens of Gotham turn into their own zealots.

Lin Yi doesn't need any fanatical admirers, let alone spend time and effort to awaken the light in the hearts of Gotham people.

Therefore, regardless of whether Bruce made an agreement or not, Lin Yi would not actually make a move. There is only one Dark Knight who can save Gotham from beginning to end, and that is the future Batman...

"Boom boom boom——"

At this moment, the door of the room was knocked suddenly.

Bruce came back to his senses, and quickly sat upright and shouted loudly: "Please come in!"

The door opened, and Shaq, dressed as a maid, walked in with two trays, and put the golden beef fried rice on the trays in front of Bruce with a smile.

"This is your dinner today, remember to send it to the kitchen after you finish eating."

"Thank you, Aunt Shark!"

Bruce thanked him obediently and sensibly.

Shake immediately smiled. Although she and Bessie hated male humans, they still liked a well-behaved and sensible wife like Bruce very much.

Before leaving the room, Shaq turned around as if he suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, by the way, the manor may be very lively tonight. If you don't want to be woken up in the middle of the night, it's best to wear earplugs to sleep."

"..."

Bruce and Selena looked at each other.

Seeing Shaq smiled and turned away, Bruce quickly stopped her.

"Aunt Shack! Wait a minute, can you tell me what's going on?"

"Oh, it's really nothing. It's just that the lord once again rejected the invitation from the owl court, which made the other party feel a little annoyed and planned to attack us."

Shaq said seemingly casually.

Selena's eyes widened suddenly, and she couldn't help turning her head to look at Bruce.

The corner of Bruce's mouth twitched slightly. He really didn't expect that he had just fooled Selena with the words of the owl court, and then heard the news about the court from Shake.

Fortunately, the Owl Court was only planning to take action against the Prince Manor, and it hadn't risen to the level of debunking his own lies.

Thinking of this, Bruce couldn't help but pretend to calm down, and nodded in the eyes of Shaq and Selena.

"I see, Aunt Shack, we're going to put on our earplugs tonight."

"Well, what a good boy~"

Shaq touched Bruce's head with a smile, then glanced at Selena's hair quietly, until Selena's delicate body trembled, and she couldn't help shrinking back to the head of the bed. Turned and left the room.

After Shaq left, Selena couldn't help throwing away the pillow and got up from the bed.

"What to do, Bruce, the Court of Owls seems to be going to war with the Prince family!"

Selena opened her beautiful big eyes and paced back and forth in the room anxiously.

It would have been fine without Bruce's previous explanation, but now, in Selena's mind, the Court of Owls has suddenly become a behemoth just like the Prince family.

And when a war breaks out between two behemoths, the innocent people caught in the middle are often the first to die. This is the truth that Selena has summed up in her street career.

"No, we must leave the manor before tonight!"

"Selena, relax!" Bruce reassured Selena helplessly, "If the Owl Court really breaks out with the Prince family, then no matter where we hide, we will not be able to escape from the battlefield, so we should rest assured Stay in Prince Manor, the owl court can't get in!"

"How can you be so sure?"

"It's not me who is sure, but everyone in the manor. Didn't you see that Aunt Shake was so relaxed when she talked about the owl court? The defense of Prince Manor is much stronger than you imagined!"

Bruce comforted Selena seriously, and finally calmed Selena down.

Soon, night fell, and a group of black figures quietly appeared on the empty street outside Prince Manor.
