If you look down from the sky above the east coast of the United States, many cities are brightly lit and sleepless all night.

On one of the most prosperous coastlines on earth, besides the bright and magnificent metropolis like shining gems, there is also Gotham, which is misty and treacherous but constantly shining.

In Gotham today, the entire city is shrouded in thick fog, like a behemoth poking its head out of the clouds, and the lighthouse lit up early on the coast is the behemoth's eyes looking into the distance.

It was another night of mist, and when the cold and damp fog spread on the streets, it reminded people of the disaster that had just passed, but was not far away.

Surprisingly, the city's frenzied inhabitants have nothing to fear.

Before, the lights of street vendors and food trucks in densely populated areas no longer exist. Instead, they were built by the Wayne Group. There are faint figures among the new skyscrapers, and dense floors and gardens among the steel jungles. Lighted street lights.

In the midst of some damp mist, another puff of smoke rose up, and looking down the curling smoke, it was not some scary monster, but steaming barbecue and beer.

Bite the meat at the root of the stick with a big mouth, stretch out his hand and pull it hard, stuff all the grilled meat skewers into his mouth, and with a cold beer, the tire sitting on the pony is satisfied with a sigh.

He looked up at the steel frame and glass garden wall and roof like a greenhouse wall, shook his head and said: "The Wayne Group really has a few tricks, if in the past, in this kind of weather, let alone barbecue I'm afraid I can't even eat fresh bread."

Beside him, there was a red truck with a gold chain and all kinds of metal ornaments all over his body, and he said in a rap-like tone:

"Bread? Dude, what are you kidding? In this weather, it would be nice if the kids on the street could pick up some leftovers! In this humidity, charcoal won't burn at all, and even if it does, we You can't make such a big smoke, it's telling all the people with bad intentions that there are little guys who are easy to bully here."

Suddenly, Tire turned his head and looked at Jason beside him, because Jason suddenly put down the meat skewer in his hand, stood up, picked up the waste newspaper on the table, wiped his hands, wiped his mouth and said : "You guys eat first, I have to go to Wayne Manor, Dick's condition is not very good, I'm afraid Bruce can't handle it."

"You always worry about that rich man." Tire shook his head and said, "If you don't eat more meat here, why don't you go to their house to eat those vegetable leaves? Don't listen to their nonsense about living a healthy life, you are growing your body , You must eat more meat to be stronger."

Jason waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "I've been full for a long time, and Alfred must have left steaming bread for me in the fireplace. I'll make breakfast for the children on the second floor tomorrow morning. "

The red truck and the tire clapped their hands together, and the red truck tilted his head and said, "Immediately let the fat brother on the third floor and the big eater on the fourth floor go to the second floor to make do with each other, and let that rich man see our strength!"

The two leaned forward and laughed together. Jason shook his head, pushed the chair behind him, turned and left.

Going out on such a foggy night is not a good choice, but for a dark sports car running on the street, any danger will be left behind by its extreme speed.

The figure sitting in the driver's seat holding the steering wheel also has two pointy ears, but it's not Batman. Jason turned his head to look at Catwoman who was driving and said, "Miss Selena, I'm sorry for your driver. There is no problem with technology, but I still want to ask, what happened to Bruce? Why didn't he come to pick me up?"

It was rare for Selena not to joke with him very lively. Her gorgeous face seemed a little frowning at this time. She sighed softly and said, "After 7 o'clock tonight, that is, when I just finished dinner, Tim was sent over by the Drakes, who seemed to want Bruce to bring Tim to Falcone's family dinner."

Jason frowned, and said, "I've heard about old Drake, isn't his business doing well? Why do you still rely on the Wayne family?"

"In this city, who doesn't rely on the Wayne family?" Selena shook her head slightly while turning the steering wheel and said, "Old Drake wants to go further into the Twelve Family's network, and Tim is enough." Clever and totally manageable, so Bruce agreed."

Selena sighed again and said: "Everything was normal at first, but I don't know why. At around 8 o'clock, Dick suddenly had a panic attack and had some difficulty breathing. Bruce could only take him back to the room and stay with him."

"Bruce wanted to wait for Dick to fall asleep before coming to pick you up, but Dick's condition is not very good. He was afraid that the action of leaving would irritate him, so he could only stay in the manor and let me drive to pick you up."

"How could this be?" Jason pursed his lips and said, but then, as if he remembered something, he said, "Could it be the aftereffect of hypnosis?"

"Bruce thinks so, Tim thinks it's all due to that damn V." Selena frowned, controlled the car, and drove around a corner, the lights of Wayne Manor had appeared at the end of the road.

The warm lights were blurred in the mist, making it impossible to judge the distance. Selena skillfully drove the car into the garage. Jason jumped out of the car in a hurry, but when he walked into the hall of the manor, he saw Alfred is preparing the tie.

As soon as Jason entered the door, Bruce in a suit came down from upstairs. Seeing Jason coming in, he waved to Jason and said, "You're here just in time. I'm going to the Falcone Manor to attend the Falcone Manor. Coppert will also go to the Kone couple's family dinner, and you can just talk to him about the child gang you are worried about."

Hearing what Bruce said, Jason not only did not show a happy expression, but frowned deeply. He looked at Bruce and said, "How is Dick? Is he okay?"

Bruce shook his head slightly, he looked at Jason intently and said, "I know, you want to ask me why I don't stay at home with Dick, but go out to socialize, in fact, I don't want to go, but I have to go .”

Seeing Jason's disapproving expression, Bruce said, "It's not what you think, it's not an excuse or an excuse, you should know about the recent serial murders in Gotham, right?"

"You mean, the case where the victim's ears were cut off first, and then his eyes were gouged out?"

Bruce nodded and said: "The first victim is the deputy chief of the police department. In fact, everyone knows that the chief and deputy chief of the Gotham Police Department are both members of the Falcone family. The new godfather has just taken over. If someone provokes him like this, he will not let it go."

"The second victim is an important member of the city government, and he is Roy's right-hand man. He is in charge of bidding for the most important land. Roy wants to gain real power and implement his reform policies, so naturally he will not allow it. , someone challenged his authority."

"The family banquet of the Falcone family this time is to gather several parties together to find out who did it, what purpose it has, and most importantly, to prevent them from misunderstanding each other and causing civil strife."

Jason's expression softened a little, he looked at Bruce and said, "Then you and Tim go, I'll stay here with Dick."

"You have to go with me." Bruce turned his head, looked at him seriously and said, "None of the reasons I mentioned above are the most important reasons why I have to attend this dinner party."

"The most important reason is that Gordon told me that an informant sent him an important message that someone wanted to do something at this banquet."

"Then Tim is enough." Jason turned his head and glanced at Tim, who was trying on a suit, and said, "His reasoning ability is amazing. Can't the two of you work together?"

"But actually, that's not the most important reason." Bruce reached out to take the tie and said while putting on the tie, "The most important thing is that they sent an invitation letter to Schiller, and that professor will go too."

Jason slowly opened his eyes, Bruce took two steps, came to his side, patted Jason on the shoulder and said: "You have also seen Dick's current situation, I urgently need a professional psychologist The doctor came to diagnose him, but only if it was a calm therapist, not a serial killer on the verge of madness driven by anger."

"You don't want me to be a shield, do you?" Jason stared wide-eyed, looked at Bruce and said, "Are you really Batman?... Don't you think you're a bit despicable? I'm a kid! "

"Listen, Jason, now there is one most important question." Bruce bent down, looked into Jason's eyes, and said seriously: "Schiller is like a slot machine. When you pull the handle, You never know what patterns will stop in front of you, and we don't know which personality will control the body when his emotions change."

"The personality that controlled Schiller's body before told me that he is about to switch personalities. It may be the professor who comes back, but it may not be. Of course, it is also possible to come back with an equally gentle personality... But I can't go. bet."

"Jason, have you ever thought, what if it is not a gentle personality that comes back, but a more brutal personality, and a crappy serial murderer, at this family dinner of the Falcone family , performed for him a case that was neither exciting enough, but also suspected of academic plagiarism, what will happen?"

Jason covered his forehead, but then he looked at Bruce and said, "But if he really has that kind of personality, would he really care about the presence of children?"

"Of course not, but Clark will also go. He will take into account the presence of children and stop Schiller as much as possible."

Jason raised his head, took a deep breath, walked towards Alfred, and said, "Where is that Batman who will never count on others? Do you really want to let one nuclear bomb stop another nuclear bomb?" Come out!"

Bruce shrugged and said: "I only recently discovered that in a city full of nuclear bombs, it is not stupid to use one nuclear bomb to hit another nuclear bomb, because at least in a short period of time, more nuclear bombs can be avoided. together."

And Tim, who was looking up and asking Alfred to tie his tie, suddenly shuddered and muttered in a low voice: "...I hope you are not a crow's mouth."
