On the Compatibility of Gravity and Gotham
Chapter 36
The last rays of the setting sun faded into the earth, the sky seemed to be infiltrated by ink, and the dark night arrived as expected, and Gotham entered the most "lively" period of the day.
Of course, for people in different classes, the meaning of this "lively" is also different.
Those gangsters fighting in the dark and criminals who committed various cases, the vicious consequences caused by them are mostly borne by ordinary people, and only a few cases will affect high-level personnel.
And for the upper classes, "Gotham's night" is another kind of liveliness.
In a high-end restaurant in downtown Gotham, a banquet where the upper class gathered was being held here.
They were well-dressed and elegantly behaved. Between the toasts, different people talked softly with wine glasses.Under the seemingly harmonious scene, they are also secretly comparing each other.
Bruce? Wayne is also one of them.
To be honest, according to his own wishes, Bruce would never want to come to such a boring banquet.
However, in order to maintain his playboy personality, this is a necessary behavior.
Hanging around in various banquets and keen to change the female companions around him, Bruce has done his best to look like a frivolous playboy.
In order to cover up the real reason for his frequent wounds, he also added a hobby of extreme sports to himself.
The major newspapers in Gotham especially love this rich man, and every piece of news about him will increase the sales of their own newspapers.
Bruce doesn't mind these things. In other words, he will secretly contribute to some news. He is very happy to see that his playboy persona is known to more people, so well known that when someone mentions the name "Bruce Wayne" , to the extent that it will be remembered.
This was a deliberate decision Bruce made after he put on the black suit and became Batman.
The existence of "Batman" will be known to the public sooner or later, and as a masked vigilante who fights criminals, once his true identity is known to the public, it will definitely have a great negative impact.
Everything he had worked so hard to achieve for many years would be wiped out in an instant.
Therefore, "Batman" and "Bruce Wayne" can only be two different existences. As a Batman who deters criminals with fear, he must maintain enough mystery, because the unknown will bring the greatest fear .
Bruce lowered his eyes, brought the wine glass to his lips, and took a sip of the remaining liquid.
The female companion beside him said in a deliberately intimate tone: "Mr. Wayne, do you need me to pour you another glass of wine?"
"No need, with you by my side, I'm already drunk." Bruce said with a sweet smile, avoiding the movement of his female partner reaching over to take the wine glass.
His blue eyes seemed to be covered with a thin layer of mist, as if he was really drunk.
In fact, because of the negative effects of alcohol, Bruce has always been reluctant to try.
At the banquet, the liquid in his glass was actually an alcohol-flavored drink, very low in strength.
Although the female companion was rejected, she seemed happy because of Wayne's words.
Bruce chatted casually with the people around him, his eyes were erratic, and his behavior was very in line with other people's impression of him.
The banquet went smoothly. Although some outsiders wanted to break in with bombs in the middle, it caused a little commotion, but it was quickly dealt with by special personnel. Overall, it went very smoothly. of.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Bruce was finally able to get out of the banquet. He dismissed his female partner in a few words, and then went out, and got into the special car waiting for him outside.
The driver drove the car silently towards Wayne Manor.
Bruce sat in the back seat, rubbing the space between his brows tiredly.Even at this time, the shell on his body has not come off, it is still on him.
His body relaxed slightly on the soft cushion.But his brain did not relax, still thinking about various events.
After sending Poison Ivy to Arkham Asylum, Batman stopped cooperating with Commissioner Gordon for a while.
Because most of the cases that happened in the past few days were not big or small, and only the police officers of GCPD could complete them.
Gordon also knows that the existence of Batman is more like a killer weapon, and it is best to appear when necessary.
Besides, Batman also has his own things to do.
He needs to monitor and crack down on the illegal activities of various criminal organizations in Gotham, which is something that the police department generally does not take care of.
There are also super villains and all kinds of dangerous criminals who are on Batman's monitoring list and are closely watched.
Because once those people take action, it will be a vicious event with a huge impact.
Bruce closed his eyes slightly, sorting out the order of what he was going to do tonight. Under the dim light in the car, his face flashed a trace of coldness and seriousness.
Naturally, Bruce thought of Dick, or "Robin", who had always been Batman's assistant.
He couldn't help but sighed inwardly.
Dick is 16 years old this year. Children of this age are going through a delicate period.
Before adopting Dick, Bruce had never had the experience of getting along with children, and there were even some bumps in the relationship between the two at the beginning.However, they finally passed the running-in period slowly.
Until now, the boy has gradually grown up, his behavior and thoughts have changed, and he is no longer the same as before.
But, how should I put it, Bruce is definitely not a person who is good at communicating. Although he knows that Dick is gradually changing and has his own ideas, only the teenager knows exactly what kind of change.
When he was Batman, most of the communication between him and Dick was the docking of various tasks, or he was silent, listening to the voice of the boy chirping.
And when he was Bruce Wayne, the communication between the two was even more lacking.Bruce knew it wasn't right, but didn't know how to make a change.
There was a fine pain in the temple, and Bruce stretched out his hand to press it, and the brows furrowed unknowingly, but he was used to it and soon returned to normal.
While he was thinking, the car had already reached its destination, slid smoothly to the gate of Wayne Manor, and stopped.
Bruce got out of the car and strode inside.
He pushed the door open, took off his suit jacket casually, and faded away from the expression he deliberately maintained outside, revealing his true expression.
Alfred greeted him as soon as he heard the voice, he took the coat that Bruce had taken off, hung it on the hanger beside him, and asked with concern: "Master, welcome back, you look very tired, Do you need someone to prepare the bath water first?"
"No, let's eat first." Bruce had already smelled the aroma of food coming from the living room, and it seemed that it was dinner time.
But, why did Alfred come to dinner so late today?At this time of day, Dick had already had dinner and was doing his after-dinner activities.
Hearing this, Alfred looked a little hesitant, as if he wanted to say something, but he was worried about why he didn't speak for the time being.
Bruce was keenly aware of this, and he quickly made a deduction: "Is there a guest at home? Or Dick's friend."
"Yes..." Alfred nodded, and he smiled: "Speaking of which, you should also know him."
Bruce froze for a moment, and the answer came to his mind.
His thoughts were confirmed when he saw the orange-haired boy in the living room.
Alfred served the tableware for the returning Bruce. The steaming food was placed on the plate, exuding an attractive aroma, emerald green vegetables were dotted on the side, and the meat and vegetables were well balanced.
When Bruce first appeared at the door of the living room, Chuya Nakahara found each other immediately. He and Bruce glanced at each other briefly, then quickly looked away, feeling an inexplicable sense of embarrassment in his heart.
Say something!Zhong Yuanzhong also urged himself, but his mind went blank, and he couldn't think of anything.
Dick noticed Chuya Nakahara's movements, looked along, and found Bruce's existence.
"Bruce, you're back!" Dick greeted naturally, and he said, "This is the Chuya Chuya I told you before, my friend, and I invited him to be a guest at home today."
Although Dick's Robin vest was taken off by the other party in an accident when he and Zhongyuan Zhong also knew each other not long ago.
But Batman's vest was still on Bruce's body, and Nakahara also believed the explanation that Dick told him——
Bruce is Batman's patron, so as Wayne's adopted son, he will be Batman's assistant to Robin.
So it stands to reason that this should be the first time Bruce Wayne met Zhongya Zhongyuan.
Bruce naturally knew this too, and his expression was well controlled, that of meeting a stranger whose name he had heard for the first time.
"I often hear Dick talking about you, Nakahara Chuya." Bruce's tone was as gentle as possible. For a little boy, the "Brucie" tone was obviously inappropriate."Hope you're having fun here," he said.
"If there is anything you need to tell Ah Fu." Bruce said as he opened the chair and sat down.
"Okay, Mr. Wayne. Alfred is very nice and takes good care of me." Zhong Yuanzhong also replied a little nervously.
He remembered that this afternoon, both he and the orange cat received snacks fed by the housekeeper, which were very delicious.
As for what the other party said "have fun", Zhongyuan Zhong couldn't help being a little cautious. He played game consoles with Dick for a long time this afternoon, and later played card games, marbles and so on.The point is that he fell asleep because he was tired from playing!
He slept through it until 07:30 p.m., delaying Dick's dinner.
Because it was too late, Dick tried his best to persuade Nakahara Chuya to stay overnight.
Moreover, while he was sleeping, in order not to worry the members of the "sheep", Dick also specifically contacted Brian and explained where he was going today.
Although he was a little curious about when Dick met Brian, Zhongya Nakahara didn't ask too much.
After all, it's just two people who have made friends. It's impossible for him to stare at them all the time. It's normal not to know.
In short, Zhongyuan Zhong is also here at Wayne Manor today, and he has had a lot of fun.
After seeing his idol now, Chuya Nakahara is nervous and a little embarrassed.
Although Bruce's attitude is very gentle, Zhong Yuanzhong is still keenly aware of something that is not quite right.
It's just that at this time, he couldn't think of anything wrong for a while, so he left it behind.
Zhong Yuanzhong also showed a small smile: "You can call me Zhong."
Bruce complied.
The interrupted dinner continued, and Bruce sat at the end of the long table, a little far away from Dick and Nakahara.
All of a sudden, there was only the slight sound of knives and forks clinking and chewing on the table.
Not far from the dining table, there is a small round bowl with a shallow mouth, which contains specially made cat food. The orange cat buries its head in the bowl and eats it with relish.
Bruce didn't see the orange cat at first, but after he sat down, his eyes fell on the orange body on the ground inadvertently.
This cat looks a little familiar.
Looking forward to comments, will there be any [Maomao Probe]
