batman and red hood

The island Himmler refers to is located on Gotham's northernmost border, away from the mainland.For the ownership of this island, Bruce has done a detailed investigation.As expected, the actual owner of the island is one of the Lawrence family.

Bruce got off the helicopter prepared by Himmler, and a woman in a black maid uniform with a bird's beak mask walked towards him with a mask and a fancy cloak:

"Here is your mask and cloak, please keep them ready"

The voice coming from under the mask seemed to be mechanically synthesized, and there was no fluctuation in tone at all.

He took a little look at the mask and cloak handed over by the woman.Unlike the fancy embroidered cloak, the mask was dull and featureless except for the beak, which was almost identical to the one on the woman's face.

Different from the Venetian-style mask in the villa last time, this mask has no characteristics at all. The eyes are covered with a thin layer of colored film. It seems that the identity is so hidden that even the color of the eyes cannot be seen. The bird's beak on the outside of the mask was perfectly integrated, and if he guessed correctly, there was a voice changer inside.

This is the real mask used to hide identities.

"This is your number plate"

After seeing that Bruce was fully dressed, the woman handed him a sign with numbers on it, which was very ordinary, exactly the same as the signs in ordinary auction houses.

Under the guidance of the woman, Bruce walked through a long corridor and entered a gorgeous banquet hall. The giant screen in the center of the banquet hall was particularly eye-catching.

From the corridor to the hall, the whole building exudes a strong Balotte style. When you look up a little, you can see fancy decorative sculptures evenly distributed on the circular roof overlooking the entire hall. Bruce is not surprised at all that it is full of cameras. , monitoring the entire hall without any blind spots.

In the last century, such outlying islands were generally used as prisons for detaining prisoners. With the changes of the times, the prison has long lost its original purpose, and this island has long since become the property of the Lawrence family. The prison building has been in the Lawrence family for generations following an extensive renovation.

The gorgeous Balotte-style decoration cannot conceal the essential structure of the cell. The central hall originally used for ventilation has become a banquet hall, and the surrounding rooms that were originally cells have also been transformed into individual private rooms. The angle at which it was located made it impossible to see if anyone was inside, but he judged that he was by no means the first to arrive...

Bruce followed the woman while observing the structure of the banquet hall.

"Your room is here"

The woman brought Bruce into a small independent room. The overall style of the gorgeous sculptures and murals on the wall was no different from the outside. A gorgeous chair and a tea table with an exquisite teapot were all the furnishings in this room.

"Don't enter other rooms at will, just raise your sign to signal the products you like"

After Bruce entered the room, the woman gave some instructions and left the room.

Bruce stood in the middle of the room, looking around pretending not to care.There are monitors in the eyes of the abstract painting on the wall.Bruce tried to move the ornate chair, it was heavy.I'm afraid the coffee table will not be very light. If there is no accident, there should be a monitor under the coffee table.

He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and it was no surprise that it showed no signal.

It seems that whether it is the children or the so-called buyers, they have already become the property of the dealer when they entered this island, and no one can escape from here...

Bruce pressed the communicator in his ear, and asked in a low voice after connecting:

"Have you found the children?"

"Not yet, I'll go find Jason after patrolling the gap this round..."

"Where is the information?"

"...should be in Himmler's office"

Bruce unilaterally suppressed the communication, because he heard the door behind him.

The door was pushed open just as Bruce stopped talking, and a man in a fancy suit and the same mask as himself walked in.

"What's the matter?"

The voice of the mechanical voice did not prevent Bruce from guessing the identity of the person.

"Herr Himmler, I think I need an explanation"

Bruce took off his mask and stared angrily at the person in front of him.

"...What? There is no product that satisfies you?"

The screens in the ballroom had begun to show pictures of various children, which would have been lovely if not for the vulgar costumes of the children.

As Bruce had guessed at first, Himmler's hunting was not limited to children with only green eyes.

"I think you are mistaken, Herr Himmler, I like children very much, but I don't have this special hobby"

Bruce glared at Himmler trying to feign the attitude of a rich man whose dignity has been violated.

Bruce's attitude did not arouse Himmler's displeasure. Bruce's reaction was not the first, and certainly it will not be the last.

"...the phone has no signal here, I hope you can send me out of here"

"...I'm very sorry, Mr. Bruce, the helicopter is not currently on the island"

"Then, give me a phone that can connect to the outside world, and I can have my private jet pick me up"

"...Okay, but this place is not within the range of the wireless signal, this way please"

Himmler did not directly refute Bruce, Bruce's reaction was expected, and Bruce was not the first person to react so violently.

In his opinion, Bruce is just as rumored as a brainless playboy who can't see his own situation at all. Even though he has been reduced to a prisoner, he still thinks he is still sitting on the throne and orders others with a crown on his head. It is really stupid And arrogant.

Himmler leads Bruce to a room whose purpose is clear at a glance, containing nothing but a bed in what Bruce appears to be in poor taste.

"...What is this for? Herr Himmler"

"Don't be so nervous, Mr. Bruce, this is just a happy cooperation project for both parties"

"I said, I didn't..."

"Ah, I know, but isn't everyone like this at the beginning? I like children, what do I like about children? Cute faces, innocent characters, abundant energy and...smooth skin...I You're right, Mr. Bruce."

Himmler sat casually on the edge of the bed, the slightly raised corners of his mouth and his strategizing tone made Bruce extremely disgusted.

I roughly estimated the time in my heart, and there is still a little distance from the agreed time. Now is not the time to tear my face, although it is annoying, but I have to drag this guy for a while...

"I told me! No! Yes!"

"Really? Mr. Bruce, if I remember correctly, there were already rumors when you adopted the child named... Dick"

"That's nothing more than a rumor spread by competitors."

"Then...why did that kid named Dick leave home as soon as he started school? There are rumors that...he can finally get rid of your harassment..."

Bruce's eager tone convinced Himmler even more of his guess.

He had done a definite investigation, and the kid named Dick had moved out of Wayne Manor a long time ago, rented a house near his school, and had never returned to Wayne Manor since he moved out.So he is very sure, considering how much efforts the public relations department of Wayne Enterprises had to suppress this rumor, Himmler is very sure that even if Bruce Wayne is not as obsessed as Chris, he must have Quite and consciously inclined.

For this question, Bruce didn't answer, but just stared at Himmler with a straight face, delaying the time as much as possible...
