[Comprehensive British and American] HE saves the world

Batman ignored Schneizel's question.

He just tightened his arms expressionlessly.

"Tell me everything you know." He said in a deep voice, "Why did you send Nunnally to Gotham?"

It is impossible to investigate the truth of Euphemia's death.

Others may not know it, but Batman knows very well that, unlike the Wayne family, the Brittany family has penetrated the political arena very thoroughly, and can even influence the top management of the FBI. Britannia's file joins Top Secret.As the heir of this family, if Schneizel really wanted to investigate Euphemia's death, he would never send a disabled girl who was only slightly gifted in empathy to investigate.

Nunnally's desire to investigate the truth of Euphemia's death is sincere.However, Schneizel took advantage of her intentions.

"Investigating the truth about Euphemia's death" is just a reason to arrange Nunnally to Gotham.The point is not to investigate, but to put Nunnally in Gotham.

"What the hell did Brittany do in Gotham? What did you do for them in the middle?" he demanded.

"Cough... How about letting go of your hands?" Schneizel raised his hands, indicating that he had no intention of attacking, "I will answer your questions, so don't be so aggressive, Batman. We can sit down and talk, no It has to be so dishonorable."

"Answer my question." Batman was unmoved, standing like a mountain, "Now."

"Since you choose this way of talking, fine."

Schneizel sighed helplessly.In the next second, a strong electric current suddenly surged beside his seat, forcing Batman to let go of his hand, and he had to avoid it to the side.

A huge photon energy shield lay between the two, separating each other.After the latest technology from the Britannia Technology Company, Schneizel straightened the messy clothes at his throat, coughed a few times, then raised his head, and showed his face to the dark knight who was looking down at him coldly. Smile a little.

"It doesn't have to be like this, at least in terms of rescuing Nunnally, I have the same goal as you, Batman." He nodded slightly, "It's just that I personally don't like the way of talking just now, let's talk about it."

"..."

Batman just stared at him without saying a word.

"Let's exchange information." Schneizel suggested, "To show my sincerity, let me answer your question first. Nunnally was sent to Gotham because she was born there."

"Gene-edited babies? I already know about it." Batman said in a deep voice, "Tell me, what the Britannia family is researching. What is the 'Akasha Project'? Why is your sister's name will be up there."

It was something Batman had scavenged in Gotham University's lab, the remains of destroyed documents.More than 20 years ago, a research project called "Akasha Project" was launched with funds injected by the Mariana Foundation and technical assistance provided by Britannia Medicine.The purpose is unknown, the direction of use is unknown, and the experimental data is incomplete. When the Britannia family withdrew from Gotham, all the data were destroyed.

On the fragments that Batman found with great difficulty, a human experiment project belonging to this plan caught his attention.

gene editing.Incomplete.But the identity of the experimental product is still clear.

Marianna V. Britannia signed the consent form, and she provided the cells and the mother, and carried out transformation from the egg stage, and the final result was a baby girl named Nunnally.

When he heard the "Akasha Project", Schneizel lowered his eyes slightly, but still had the same elegant smile on his face as usual.

"Did you even find out there? It's amazing. He deserves to be called a 'detective' by Lars."

— Lars.

Hearing the name of the leader of the League of Assassins in an unexpected place made Batman's jaw tighten silently.

"The League of Assassins also intervened in this matter?" He asked cautiously.

"No. It's just that my father and Lars had some cooperation." When he said this, a slight sarcasm slipped through Schneizel's eyes, "Their ideals are somewhat similar."

Batman: "..."

Based on what he knew about Lars O. Gu, if someone had similar ideals to this demon leader, it could only mean that this person was also a hopeless extremist lunatic.

Charles D. Brittany may be more insane than he thinks, and the conspiracy he is brewing is also likely to far exceed his expectations.

"That ideal is the 'Akasha Project'?" Batman narrowed his eyes, "What exactly does Charles want to do?"

"Father has been obsessed with weird research since a long time ago. Rather, the series of behaviors since he took over the Britannia Group are all just to realize his ideals."

When Schneizel said this, his tone was unusually calm.

"Money, power, technology, local power, marriage and children... are all the tools he uses to realize his ideal. The 'Akasha Project' is the last link in this ideal, and it is the human experiment he started 25 years ago The specific content is only known to the researchers directly under my father, and I don't know the truth."

"Lie." Batman's voice became colder, "You know what it is, that's why you sent Nunnally to Gotham."

"The Akashic Project studies the collective unconsciousness of human beings. My father believes that the human group has a common sea of ​​consciousness, and he also believes that there is a channel to reach this collective unconscious world. The Akashic Project is to reach this extreme The way." Schneizel lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Marianna...Nuna Li's mother is the most loyal supporter of father's plan. She wholeheartedly supports father's ideas, and Nunnally is here for Born here. Gene editing started from the egg stage, and developed her 'sixth sense' to the largest experimental plan, and they want to reach the collective unconscious world of human beings in this way."

"..."

This is crazy.

So far, Batman has dealt with countless lunatics, and he has seen all kinds of cruelty and cruelty. He thought he was used to facing all kinds of darkness of human nature.

But at this moment, he still had such an idea.

— they are simply insane.

Whether it's Charles who came up with the plan, Marianna who supported the implementation of the plan, or the researchers who assisted them.

Editing a baby's genes from the egg stage, turning her into a complete tool to use... This is ridiculous, let alone her own daughter.

It's all about reaching the realm of the collective unconscious of humanity, but once there...

"What are they trying to do?" he asked the insider in front of him.

"Build a world without lies." Schneizel said calmly, "That's my father's ideal."

"…………"

From time to time the funny veers into the horror, to such an extent that Bruce Wayne doesn't know for a moment whether to be funny or horrified by it.

This is ridiculous.This is too funny.But the thought of someone actually making this a goal, and spending so much time, endless money, daunting effort...and erasing their own humanity and kinship, can only be horrifying.

Bruce Wayne was speechless for a moment.

Schneizel continued calmly: "Nuna Li is the most critical part of father's plan. It is an indispensable 'way' to reach that realm. So they will definitely go to meet her."

At this moment, Batman understood Schneizel's meaning.

Nunnally's talent, he originally thought—many people thought—was the ability to empathize with others.

But judging from the gene sequence they edited and the information disclosed by Schneizel, this is not the case.

Nunnally's "gift" is her sixth sense, a tool that, if harnessed properly, can reach everyone—even the realm of the collective unconscious of humanity.

So Schneizel sent her to Gotham, and used this bait to catch the big fish lurking in Gotham—the key figure in the Akasha plan.

"According to my investigation, my father is ready to reach the laboratory in that field. But he used some special means to hide the location of the laboratory, and I can only find it in this way."

Schneizel's eyes fell on the locator that was still flashing on the computer.

"Nuna Li is the most important part of their experiment, they will not endanger her life."

"So you sacrificed your sister for it."

There was no emotion in Batman's voice.

"Father's ideals will change the current world." Schneizel said lightly, "I have an obligation to stop him. Father's eyes have never been on the present, he only wants to live in a world where ideals can be realized."

He paused, and said again: "But human beings live in the present."

In silence, Schneizel deactivated the photon energy shield that was protecting him, and stretched out his hand to Batman.

"Let's cooperate," he said. "I want to stop my father's plan, and you don't want to see a world where his ideals are realized. Our goals are the same, and cooperation will solve this matter faster."

But Batman just turned around, leaving him with a dark back.

"I won't trust a person who puts his own sister in this kind of bait." He said indifferently, "There is actually no essential difference between you and your father."

"Okay." Schneizel didn't seem surprised by this result, he threw something at Batman's back, "Use this to receive the signal from the locator."

"..."

Batman took the locator receiver and looked back slightly.From the corner of his eyes, all he could see was the slightly tired face of the blond young man.

"Believe it or not, I didn't want my sister to die there," he said.

The author has something to say:
