I want to have a date with Superman

The "coronation" banquet went smoothly, and even seemed a bit dull, without causing any trouble.

There is no scene in the movie where a group of rival gangs rush in and shoot indiscriminately with machine guns.

There were indeed many conflicts during the handover of assets and land, but all were resolved within the past month.

Now, Harley is the well-deserved Godfather of Gotham!

After the party, Harley did not go to Wayne Manor immediately.

She will definitely be watched by the Court of Owls at all times now, and she will go directly to Wayne Manor to avoid causing trouble for Bruce.

Especially after hearing that an underground secret room suspected to have been built by his father was found beneath his house, which may contain the secrets of the Court of Owls - if Harley's guess is correct, Wayne has always been closely connected with the court.

She returned to the fighting arena and rested until midnight, then she drove the Archimedes airship and suddenly flew over Wayne Manor on Long Island.

The five-story mansion in the same style as "Downton Abbey" also has security guards on duty on the rooftop in the middle of the night - a one-bedroom glass attic was built in a corner of the rooftop.

Like Harley, it is constructed of bulletproof glass and alloy steel.

The lights were on inside, and two security guards in bulky combat uniforms were playing cards.

The airship is suspended two meters high in front of the stairs, located in the shadow realm, and does not show any trace of its movements in the world of light.

Even if Harley opened the airship door, the airship itself was still in the shadow realm.

Only she jumped off the airship and landed on the ground. The airship stayed in the shadow world, but her people came to the earth.

Silent, a bit like Obito Sharingan.

However, this trick can only be used on ordinary people.

Even though mages cannot enter and exit Limbo at will, they can easily sense the elements of hell that are incompatible with the earthly world - the breath of hell that flows from the shadow realm into the material realm.

Last time at the United Hospital, she skillfully took down the two top snipers on the rooftop in this way.

"Omaika, you, how did you get in?" Seeing Harishi walking down the stairs, Ah Fu in the living room became uneasy.

"Is the brand new security system that we spent a huge amount of money building a waste?"

Harley shrugged and said with a slight smile: "It works for ordinary people, but I am not ordinary."

"How did you do it?" Ah Fu asked quickly.

"secret."

Ah Fu gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "I want to install an infrared detection system in the entire manor. As long as it is a living creature, even if it is invisible, it will leave an infrared image."

"Harley? Is it Harley? Come down quickly!"

Bruce's muffled voice came from deep in the fireplace.

Harry walked half a circle around the fireplace and said in surprise: "Thomas Wayne looks like an honest man, but he didn't expect to have such a sophisticated device in his home."

"Building a secret room doesn't mean Master Thomas is a bad person, right?" Afu said with a dark face.

"When did I say he was a bad person? There is still a long way between an honest person and a bad person, right?"

Harley rolled her eyes at him and walked deeper into the tunnel.

Although the light was on, Bruce still wore a miner's hat and swung the mining hammer vigorously, making a clanging sound and sweating profusely.

"Why not use a machine?" Harley asked, looking at the iron door.

There was a combination lock with numbers and letters beside the door, and the metal box showed signs of being beaten, and was even skewed and loose.

You can guess that Bruce tried n sets of passwords and got angry at them after they failed.

Only after utter despair did he choose the mining hammer.

"Although the security guards do not enter the living room and bedroom, they are always passing by outside the window. There are also abnormal noise alarms installed indoors."

Bruce pointed to the basket on the side and said, "You are very strong. If you choose a hammer and hammer it with me, you should be able to drill through the stone wall in two days."

Harley said with a dark face: "Punch it yourself, break it open and then call me, or call your technical director to crack the code lock."

As she spoke, she pressed a set of data.

"It's no use, I asked-" Bruce was stunned.

"Crack!"

Harley was also surprised.

After only trying it once, there was a sound of gears twisting inside the thick iron door, and it slowly opened inward.

"You-" Alfred and Bruce looked at Harley at the same time and asked, "How do you know the password?"

Harley said inexplicably: "I just entered Bruce's name and it opened."

"Name?!" The two of them had twisted expressions on their faces.

They tried countless combinations and just forgot Bruce's own name.

"It makes sense for dad to use his only son's name as his password!" Harley asked doubtfully.

"I" Bruce said with a complicated expression, "I thought such a confidential place deserved a more complex password."

"I can't remember the password that is too complicated. Your dad has N bank cards in his hand - shit!"

Harley pushed the door open and entered, and the fluorescent lights naturally turned on. After seeing the armor in the front row of the rock cave, she couldn't help but scream.

"Oh my god!" Bruce Afu, who followed, also saw it and screamed in surprise.

This is the Batcave!

In addition to several computers and high-tech weapons, the most eye-catching thing is the bulletproof vest in the glass cabinet.

Not only is Harley familiar with Bruce and Alfred, but the people of Gotham have seen it more than once.

"This explains why Blackman hasn't appeared for so long." Harley sighed.

"My father is actually a cross-dressing hero." Bruce was happy and sad at the same time.

I am glad that this suit is not an "owl suit" and that my father is not the villain who controls the Court of Owls.

I feel sad that my father, a "hero", died at the hands of a street kid.

Harley turned to Ah Fu, who looked shocked, and asked doubtfully: "You don't even know?"

Ah Fu shook his head slowly, "Master must want to protect us."

Harley rolled her eyes, walked to the glass display window, and carefully looked at the bulletproof suit that old Gibbs said was better than Mr. Shadow's GRE module armor.

It looks like rubber, but feels like hard cowhide. The surface is not a rigid material, and there are obvious marks of cuts and bullets.

"Shit, I'm done!"

Harley turned it around and saw half a sniper bullet as thick as her little finger on her butt and buttocks.

When you unzip the chest, you can see the butt and buttocks of the jumpsuit. There are indeed bulges the size of fingertips, but the bullets did not penetrate the clothes.

"Old Gibbs has really poisonous eyes."

Harley recalled what the old man said about the armor of Black Man and Mr. Shadow in the mercenary supermarket earlier (beginning of Chapter 87).

Mr. Shadow's armor, which is Harley's current suit, relies on its hardness to deflect bullets. The impact on the body is particularly strong, and it is easy to be knocked unconscious.

"Black Man" Thomas' armor is made of plastic material, and most of the bullet's kinetic energy is absorbed by the "swamp-like" body armor.

The body armor may be damaged, but the impact on the body is greatly reduced.

What's even more terrifying is that it can withstand sniper bullets!

It shows that the defense power is not lower than Mr. Shadow's.

Harley was more concerned about armor and weapons, but Bruce was brought to tears by a letter left on his computer desk.

Bruce's name was written directly on the envelope.

"Harry, look at it!" He handed the letter directly to Harley.

——Dear Bruce, in the past two years, especially in the past few months, I have increasingly felt that my situation has become very dangerous, so I leave this letter early.

I hope I worry too much

In short, when you read this letter, I will definitely be dead, and you will guess that the password to the door is your name.

Harley glanced up at him.

He seemed to have guessed that she was seeing this, and his expression became embarrassed.

He lowered his head and continued reading the letter.

Basically, Thomas Wayne told two things: first, because Bruce, the son, Thomas, as a father, decided to be a better person, so this underground cave was created; second, some of the Wayne Group's properties , obviously violated the law, and was not in line with his values. Therefore, his death was related to the family business.

At the end of the letter, Thomas gave Bruce a choice: continue to be a happy rich second generation, destroy the computer host, and forget about this secret room; or, find his mission and find part of the truth in the computer.

"Master Xiaobu, I think you should listen to me, forget about this place, and be an ordinary person."

After reading the letter, Ah Fu pointed at the "Black Knight Armor" worriedly and said, "Look at it, it's scarred and full of bullet holes.

I don't want you to live like this.

Even my family had to hide it, it was too dangerous, too dark, and too depressing. "

Bruce shook his head gently, his voice was not loud, but his expression was very determined, "I can't live in false happiness, that would be even more sad.

But don’t worry, Ah Fu, I won’t be a cross-dressing hero, at least not now. "

"My low strength does not allow it." His face turned bitter.

"Better than your dad, he finally has some self-awareness." Harley said with a faint smile.

"You insulted my father!" Bruce's face turned ugly instantly.

Ah Fu also complained in his eyes.

Harley sighed: "I was confused before. Your father obviously doesn't look stupid. He has lived in Gotham for many years and has rich survival experience, but he didn't even bring a bodyguard and just walked into the alley with his wife and son.

Now I understand that no drag hero would take a bodyguard to the streets.

It’s so embarrassing, so shameless, and so hurtful to my self-esteem.

They are all confident in protecting the people of Gotham and maintaining world peace, but are they still not confident in protecting their families from street gangs?

Then your dad forgets that he is actually a doctor, and his ‘strength’ depends entirely on his equipment.

If you dare to go out in a suit, you don't have self-awareness, what do you mean? "

Bruce was angry, but speechless and unable to refute.

Afu frowned and said: "Miss Quinn, I think we should maintain basic respect when talking about a deceased hero."

"I'm helping you persuade Bruce not to be a damn cross-dressing hero, can't you hear that?" Harley said angrily.

Ah Fu said coquettishly: "Of course I understand your good intentions, but you can try another way."

Bruce frowned, glared at Harry and said, "I don't think my father made any mistake. It was a family gathering that day, and he took my mother and me to see the Zatara magic show. Of course, we had to wear a suit.

If faced with a regular street criminal, I think he could handle it.

But it was obvious that the killer was hired by Owl. He deliberately disguised himself as a robber to lower my father's vigilance, and then acted cruelly when he took the necklace.

If it were you, you would end up in the same way. "

"If it were me," Harley smiled inexplicably, pointing to her leather jacket and leather pants, and asked, "What do you think they are?"

Bruce looked at Afu.

Ah Fu immediately said: "This is the latest Gucci men's casual leather jacket. Ms. Quinn is wearing it. She looks really dashing and cool!"

In fact, Master Xiaobu also had one, but the wardrobe was too big and there were too many clothes, so he didn't have time to find it. "

Harley sneered, "It looks the same as a Gucci leather jacket, but it's actually a bulletproof vest.

Even the ordinary Adidas white shirt I wear in the summer is still an A-grade Adidas made of light bulletproof cloth.

My wardrobe is no smaller than Bruce's. There are hundreds of sets of clothes in it for spring, summer, autumn and winter, including underwear, which are bulletproof and puncture-proof. "

Bruce looked shocked.

Ah Fu was stunned.

Harry raised his chin slightly and said proudly: "Now, do you understand? Put me in Thomas's situation. There is only one result. The gangster fired several shots. I didn't do anything. I punched him over!"

Bruce swallowed, speechless.

Harley is so powerful and yet so cautious. Compared to her, her father seems to be a bit arrogant?

ps: In the previous article, some readers once said that the Gotham I described is so dark that it is unreasonable for the Waynes to walk through the alleys without bodyguards.

I told him that it wasn’t because I was crazy and set it up like this on purpose, but it was just the way the comics were. And I advised him to look back, and I will give a reasonable explanation later - not the comic explanation, but me making the unreasonable things reasonable.

DC comics are not chaotic in setting and illogical in plot as everyone generally thinks.

But it does have a confusing setting and conflicting plot logic.

This is because DC comics originated too early, starting before World War II. Until now, times have been changing, but the protagonist of the story has not changed.

Therefore, settings that were consistent with the past seem unreasonable today.

For example, many readers feel that the darkness of Gotham may be dark in the United States now, but at least it will not be so overtly dark.

Yes, many settings in Gotham come from the 1940s and 1950s, and the background of the era is similar to that of "The Godfather".

That's too far.

Continuing with the Thomas Wayne line.

In the previous article, there was actually a hint very early on - old Gibbs directly said that Black Man's suit has the style of Wayne Laboratory.

So, is this design appropriate?

In some universes, Batman is actually Thomas Wayne, so he has the potential to become a cross-dressing hero, which does not seriously violate the comic book settings.

In addition, in the American TV series "Gotham", Thomas is a cross-dressing hero.

In the "New 52 Batman" comics, Thomas and Martha are no longer stupid.
