[Comprehensive British and American] I open a haunted house in the superhero world

West still believes in Batman very much.

So ever since Bruce said to investigate, West has never cared about it-it's great that the big guy takes the lead.

West has a feeling that he can win while lying down.

Regarding the matter of him cheating Bruce, West already felt very peaceful.

He did lie to Bruce, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with this kind of deception.

He remembered what his adoptive mother said to him, "it's time to think", and he really should think about it.

And this feeling is actually - not bad.

"Batman." West raised his eyebrows and said excitedly. The two captured people didn't know Bruce's identity, so he wouldn't be so stupid as to call Bruce by his real name.

Bruce nodded at him as a greeting.

And when West glanced behind Bruce, he involuntarily opened his eyes.

Unexpectedly, Steve was also behind Batman.

Captain America came to the haunted house once and had a not-so-pleasant exchange with Tony, after which he said he would never come again.

The last time Nick Fury brought someone, Steve didn't come either.

So this is...

Steve also looked a little embarrassed, but then Captain America straightened his face and said honestly, "I'm here for that lady."

West: "..."

West: "So..."

"He doesn't quite believe the bat's explanation." Dick threw the giant man on his shoulders onto the floor of the haunted house, and a cloud of dust kicked up when the huge man hit the ground.Then Dick glanced at Bruce and explained to West, "So the captain is a little afraid that we will do something wrong to this... lady. By the way, why do I carry the weight every time, but you Just hug that beautiful lady."

Dick couldn't help complaining, Bruce was responsible for moving Gina, and the strong man was in charge of Dick-and Dick found that this division of labor seemed to have appeared many times as soon as he recalled.

Bruce glanced at him - oh, Batman is making you a watch.

At the same time Steve looked at Dick helplessly.

So Dick corrected: "Well, Bat didn't explain at all, he just made eye contact with the captain-Batman's honest eyes."

Dick puts a lot of emphasis on the word integrity.

After a moment of silence, Batman said, "...we communicated."

eye contact.

Steve was even more helpless: "Nightwing, I don't doubt Batman, it's just..."

It's just that after he asked Gina who the criminal was, both Batman and Nightwing kept a suspicious silence, and the sensitive Captain America immediately discovered the meaning of the silence, so he asked them to explain.

Of course Bruce has a reason, it's just that he won't say it - Batman usually doesn't explain anything.

The last time he dealt with the Justice League's Tower of Babel plan was stolen by Vandal, which caused the League to be almost wiped out. How did he explain when everyone in the League asked him to explain-"I will do it next time".

As a result, he went out for a league ticket for a while, and then came back later.

And now to Captain America... Batman still won't say it.

But Captain America is also a very stubborn person, so he insisted on coming here.

Of course that's not to say Captain America suspects Batman or anything.Of course he believed in the character of Batman and Nightwing.

"It's okay, Cap," Bruce said to Steve in his altered voice.

West glanced at Bruce, and then at Steve, inexplicably feeling that the atmosphere between the two was a bit strange.

He turned his head to Clark and Tony who were squatting in the corner. Clark had already escaped from the shy state just now. He opened a pair of blue eyes, probably because he also felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere, so he looked a little nervous.

And Tony... Tony squatted there with no expression on his face.

Neither of them wore bodies, so there was no way the two men who weren't contracted to the haunted house could see them either.

Thinking about it, West stretched out his hand, shook Steve, and pretended to forget Steve’s not coming, and said enthusiastically to Steve: “The captain is welcome, but we do No bad thoughts about this lady."

Steve's face was slightly red. After all, he was a young man in his twenties, and he didn't have such a thick skin.

But after all, he was also the one who led the Avengers to fight, so he recovered quickly, and then shook hands with West.

"So what's the matter with this lady?" Steve then said with a straight face.

West glanced at Bruce and saw that Batman looked calm and didn't give him any hints, so he thought for a while and said, "Why don't we lock him up first, and then explain to the captain."

After he finished speaking, he waved at the painting in the hall before waiting for a few people to reply, and then saw a passage opened in the painting, and then he called Abel three times and threw the two vampires into the painting and imprisoned them.

Needless to say, ever since he discovered that paintings have this function, West feels that he has a mobile prison cell, and this prison cell is very reliable. The time of the people in the painting basically stops, and they can live even if they don’t eat. , so they don't even need to go in to deliver food, and anytime, anywhere, as long as the painter wants to, they can kill people directly-unless they are stronger than him and can break his painting.

Wouldn't it be interesting to popularize painting in Arkham?West thought, but just thinking about it.

Steve, who had been in the painting once, couldn't help but twitched his lips when he saw this scene - he never expected that the painting could be able to develop this function.

Bruce had planned to catch the clown in this way, so it was naturally not surprising, but he looked at West as if he did it on his own initiative, or he couldn't help but look at West more.

There was nothing strange about West locking up the two vampires, but he looked at Bruce with a simple "I'm done".

Then he invited Steve to sit down.

The five people on the scene knew each other's identities, even Abel knew it-the human ancestor's senses were extraordinarily sensitive, and he could detect the hidden identities of the superheroes from the frequency of breathing.

But even when they all knew each other well, none of Chaoying on the scene took off the mask.

Bruce seemed to be still thinking about how to tell Steve, but he had been thinking for a long time, so the atmosphere at the scene was a little strangely silent.

In order to break the awkward silence, West raised his voice and said, "Let me make you some coffee."

After finishing speaking, he didn't care if they wanted it or not, so he simply got up and made coffee for each of them - unfortunately, the coffee machine he bought was changed into a bomb by the clown, so the haunted house still only has the unit price accurate to cents Cheap coffee—Master Wayne may not like it, but the captain should be all right.

When he came out with a few cups of coffee, he found that the atmosphere was still as awkward as before, and even Dick squatted beside him for some reason—the place happened to be not far from the place where Clark and Tony squatted. It was too far away, so West looked like a person squeezed between the two ghosts-Clark was very kind to give Dick a little space.

The two squatted there pitifully, while the other two big men occupied one end of the sofa.

West: "..."

what happened?

West put the coffee in front of the two of them, and simply sat down beside Abel.

Dick gestured towards him, but to be honest, West wasn't part of their small circle, so he couldn't understand their small movements that they only made when they were fighting.

While he was looking at Dick and studying Dick's movements, Captain America finally said, "Now we can say the identity of that lady."

West didn't seem to involve Steve, not because he was afraid that SHIELD or the Avengers would know something about the Haunted House, but just didn't want to.

But he also knew that Steve was a very persistent person, and he wouldn't let it go if he didn't get an answer.

So he held his head and said, "This lady is affiliated with some organization that helps clowns."

He didn't want Abel's affairs to be exposed, so he simply pulled the clown out.

Bruce didn't speak the whole time, he just observed West.

West sees this, but doesn't care - he's telling the truth, and Bruce can't argue with that.

"You should tell us this." Steve immediately regained his spirits when he heard that it was related to the clown, and then said, "Something about the clown will become an important clue."

"I'm sorry Captain." West spread his hands, "The Joker is the villain of Gotham, and Batman doesn't like others to intervene in the affairs of the villains of Gotham."

He said it on his own terms, but Bruce didn't seem to want to refute it.

Steve frowned when he heard this, and looked at Bruce with some dissatisfaction: "Bat——"

"The Joker is my match," Bruce interrupted. "I know him."

"But he committed a crime in New York," Steve said gravely.

"So I'll take him back." Bruce said indifferently, the bat's voice made his words sound special-irritating.

West propped his chin to watch them quarreling—it wasn’t really a quarrel, both Steve and Bruce were relatively calm objects in the alliance between the two parties, and they were just arguing about the right to capture and dispose of the clown.

"He committed a crime in New York, and now the Avengers need to catch him." Steve said in a deep voice.

And Bruce continued to maintain that irritating indifference: "I'll take him back."

West changed his chin resting hand - it was a little numb just now, and continued to watch them quarrel.

Neither of them seemed to give in. Bruce would not let anyone but him deal with the clown. The last time was because of Tony. Otherwise, he would definitely go to the clown himself.

He did this not because he really didn't want anyone to catch the villains of Gotham, as he said, but because he knew the Joker.

The clown is extremely deceptive - he even wonders if the clown has some kind of virus.

Most people who come into contact with the clown are easily bewitched by some of his remarks.

So he doesn't think it's safe for anyone other than himself to catch the Joker, and besides...he really doesn't like other people meddling in Gotham.

And Steve's request is not unreasonable, the clown is doing things in New York, New York is the place guarded by the Avengers, and they should be the clown's trouble here.

Both of them are quite stubborn, and even faintly opposed.

There is some business overlap between the Avengers and the Justice League, maybe the relationship is not as good as he thought, at least the relationship between the consultants of the Justice League and the leader of the Avengers does not seem to be so good.

He originally guessed that their personal relationship should be good.

West glanced at Clark involuntarily, and the former chairman of the Justice League (now dead, deprived of his position) immediately read something from his eyes, and then floated helplessly behind West, relying on two people to see He explained: "Captain America doesn't quite agree with some of Bruce's methods. During a mission, they did disagree on how to deal with some issues."

Oh, West nodded immediately.

He thought the reason would be even bloodier.

"What are you thinking?" Clark said helplessly to West.

"Oh, I was wondering why it wasn't Steve Rogers who fell in love with the chairman of Zhenglian, but was found out by the consultant, and then the two sides had a conflict." West said casually, then he turned to Clark and said with a smile, "My imagination But it's rich."

Clark: "..."

Wait, this is not rich can be used to describe.

But at this time, West had turned his head and returned to the confrontation scene.

It’s normal for Steve to dislike some of Batman’s behaviors. Bruce does use some extreme methods at times—it’s common for Batman to hang people up for interrogation, and ask questions after he’s seriously injured. matter.

Considering the reality of Gotham, his methods are actually not excessive.

But Steve Rogers, the upright and sunny Captain America, has not been exposed to many dirty things-it is said that Steve’s past friend, the current Winter Soldier, was in the team he was in charge of handling for Captain America in the past Some dirty things—of course, this is a character introduction that West saw before, and he doesn’t know if it’s true or not, after all, he hasn’t experienced World War II.

But what is certain is that, judging from Steve Rogers' old-fashioned style later, he did keep a certain part clean-it is estimated that he should not have participated in the torture.

And it was this part that made him disagree with some of Bruce's practices. He had seen Bruce hang people up, then throw them out of the window, and wait until the person was almost touching the ground before pulling the rope.

Sometimes those who were tortured had their arms broken.

These behaviors overlapped with the behavior of the Nazi soldiers he had seen, and Steve couldn't accept that Chaoying would actually do such a behavior.

And Bruce doesn't need him to understand. It's not a day or two for the Gotham media to regard Batman as a criminal. It's common for Bruce to be considered a villain.

So he will not explain anything to Steve.

But fortunately, after all, the two people have different management scopes, so they don't get along much, and Steve also knows that although Bruce's methods are not so righteous, he is definitely a good person.

So the two sides did not have a lot of head-on conflicts.

West just thought for a while before he understood the problem between these two people.

It's interesting.

West suddenly had a thought, so he said without thinking, "How about this, both sides take a step back, the clown is Batman's prisoner, but the captain can join us and help us catch the clown together, how about ?”

That's sure to be fun.

He blinked, looking expectant.

Then he said to Bruce: "Anyway, everyone is likely to cooperate in the future, isn't it?"

This sentence means that Bruce reminded Tony some time ago that if they go to the village of Rawansfell, the Avengers should come out.

And he was reminding Bruce that since they always have to be teammates, why not try to cooperate now.

Clark stared wide-eyed, watching in disbelief that West made his own decision—he was sure it wasn't an inquiry, but a decision.

He even gave Bruce enough reason.

Sure enough, Batman thought for a while, but nodded slowly.

It's just that the eyes he looked at West in the next second were full of scrutiny and struggle——

He was sure the boy was different there.

In the following day, they interrogated the vampire twice, once with Batman alone and once with West and Steve.

No one knows what Batman said when he interrogated them alone, but after West and Steve joined, the two vampires who hadn't planned to cooperate performed very well.

Even West wanted to look at Bruce with disapproval—he had no sympathy for women.

Of course, he wouldn't say it out, after all, he didn't think that the female villain of Gotham was a woman when he beat him up.

After that, West's attention returned to the information given to him by the vampires. The strong man was named Albert, and he and Gina were in a subordinate relationship, and Gina was his superior.

In other words, it was Gina who gave him his first hug.

But they all belonged to one person at the same time—Cain.

West figured out how those vampires were classified into different levels.

The highest level naturally refers to Cain, and the first embrace given by Cain is considered to be the second-generation vampire (Gina is one of them), and many vampires in the future are transformed from the second-generation vampire.

Since Cain will fall asleep every time he kills Abel, and will not wake up together until Abel wakes up, he adopts a stocking attitude towards these vampires.

But whether it is the second generation or the subsequent three or four generations, they are all very loyal to Cain.

Gina told them that she was a vampire transformed after Cain woke up this time.

I don't know whether she is lucky or unlucky, she got a terminal illness, and after a long period of treatment, her savings were exhausted, and she still came to the conclusion that she would die soon.

At that time, she was in despair and was ready to jump off the building to finish it off.

Then meet Cain for the first time.

She said Cain, pale and sitting on the building she was about to jump off, asked her if she wanted to join his family, and if she wanted he could keep her from dying again.

Gina agreed, and soon there was an extra vampire named Gina.

Shortly after Cain transformed her, he sent her to New York to track down Abel, while he himself went to Los Angeles.

Hearing the name of Los Angeles, West couldn't help but twitched his brows.

If he was not mistaken, he probably guessed what Cain was doing in Los Angeles—the Lord of Hell, Lucifer, was hidden in Los Angeles.

At that time, Abel came to the haunted house because he listened to Lucifer's prompt, and Cain went to Los Angeles to... trouble Lucifer?

Of course, the safety of the Lord of Hell does not need West, an ordinary person, to worry about him, and what he is curious about is the reason why Cain went to Los Angeles.

But West vaguely felt that there was something wrong with this Lord of Hell.

It's just that the specific Gina doesn't know. To put it bluntly, although she was directly converted by Cain, her level is not that high.

She just came to New York according to the order. Through Cain, she knew that Abel was in the haunted house, so she found a chance to hack the number of the winner at the time——she said in the haunted house that she was a detective, and she was really a private detective before she died. .

During that time, the external account of the haunted house was controlled by Clark, and Tony focused on building the armor behind closed doors, so none of them thought that this trick would allow Gina to sneak into the haunted house smoothly.

Everyone knew what happened afterwards. Before Gina could do anything, she was caught by Bruce Fishing Law Enforcement in the haunted house.

The information is mixed, but not much important.

Through Gina's words, they have basically confirmed that Gina has not participated in the clown's affairs, which means that the clown's affairs have been arranged by someone else.

The news is not good. West even joked with Bruce and said: "Have we been deceived by Cain? He made us only pay attention to such a target placed outside, and then secretly tampered with it elsewhere."

Bruce didn't comment, just frowned and thought about something.

West was very relaxed, and said to Captain America who already knew and promised to keep the secret: "What do you think, Captain?"

Steve didn't answer either.

West shrugged, and then said: "I think the focus now should be on the clown."

Even if the clown is in his hands, West is not guilty at all when he mentions the name of the clown.

"The clown and I mentioned it during the chat..." West imitated the tone of the clown and said, "'I transformed Arkham, and the transformation of Arkham is the secret of me and the little bat', Do you think this has anything to do with the people who work with him?"

This passage was said by West when he entered the painting and met the clown, but when the clown and him met for the first time, none of them knew that the vampire was related to the clown's escape from prison.

So West deliberately changed his way of speaking and threw out this message.

After he finished speaking, Bruce took a deep look at him, and said, "What else did the clown tell you?"

West thought for a while, and then said: "He told me a lot, but I didn't listen to it, except for the part he talked about you."

Bruce: "..."

He directly ignored the part that West could understand, and then asked, "What did he say that you couldn't understand?"

"Forgot." West said very honestly, "I'm sorry, my memory is not very good."

Admitting that you are useless is so natural?

West stroked his chin, and then thoughtfully said: "I will continue to think about it, and I will tell you if I remember something, but to be honest, I don't study psychology, and his words sound very laborious."

This is the truth, only Harley Quinn can understand the words of the clown.

And Harley Quinn, who can understand the clown's words, becomes a clown girl.
