"No, it's you I'm looking for."

"Sherlock Holmes," Batman said in a low voice, "I need you to lead me to your main consciousness."

Sherlock tilted his head from the couch to look at him.

"You should also realize that you are not the master of this thinking palace, but a fragment of the impression that exists in the mind of the real Sherlock Holmes." Batman said, "Because Sherlock had an accident, you have your own independent consciousness. .”

"so?"

"What?!" Watson was shocked, "You didn't tell me about this?"

"When did you realize that?"

"Just now." He turned to Batman. "Why should I help you?"

"Solving the original Sherlock's problem will probably make me dehumanized." The consulting detective stated coldly.

"But in this situation, you can only act according to a fixed pattern, and your words and deeds are limited by his memory." Batman said, "If I'm not wrong, you should be his impression of boring time? "

"The Sherlock I know is not the kind of person who is willing to stay in a room and endure boredom."

"A long time without a new stimulus can suffocate any Sherlock Holmes."

Sherlock looked indifferent: "So what?"

Batman's eyes see right through him: "You made your choice when I was allowed into this room."

"You actually have partial access to the Memory Palace, right?"

"It was you who made Watson appear there and brought me into 221B." Batman softened his tone slightly, "Admit it, for you, boredom is more terrifying than death."

"Hmph." The detective made a dissatisfied nasal voice, put on his long trench coat and followed Batman, "John! What are you still doing?"

Watson quickly trotted to keep up.

"Would anyone care to explain what's going on?"

He looked at the dark Batman in front of him, and then at his friend who was striding forward.

"Come on," Sherlock urged.

"Okay okay, you always do that."

Wayne Manor in the Memory Palace.

Wayne Two stopped Brucey from looking for more Batman.

“There is no need to break more boundaries,” he said. “We have no way of estimating the consequences of causing more chaos.”

Wayne agrees: "I don't want to share my house with more people either... Which room do you sleep in?" He suddenly realizes an important question.

No one answered his question.

Even Batman, who was funded by him, just glanced through the goggles, and then paid more attention to the topic Brucey and the others were discussing.

—How to find the real Bruce?

Even with two Waynes, two Batmen, and a Bruce, it's still a daunting task.

"How about starting the analysis from what he is most likely to do?" After a short silence, Wayne began to offer his opinion unwillingly.

"If it were me, I would usually be in the banquet hall or the office."

The suggestion is correct, but it's a pity that Wayne's psychology can't be used to calculate Bruce's thoughts at all.Bruce looked at Wayne Two.

If anyone among the four is closest to Bruce in mental state, it must be number two.

After all, both Wayne and Batman are just average Bruce, and Number Two is the only fusion of them all.

Wayne Two was listening to several speeches with a smile.

He has been so friendly since he explained the current situation.Remaining silent, and taking the opportunity to collect clues from the words of the other three, Brussy always felt that Wayne [-]'s eyes were somewhat appraising and sizing up.

But... this is Batman!

Instead, he became more confident in Number Two's speech.

Being watched by everyone, Wayne No. [-] was stunned for a moment: "Me? I usually stay in the study, or go on a trip or something—"

- Fight crime in the Batcave, or out and about.

Bruce automatically translated for him.

The latter is unlikely, but the former... maybe Bruce will go to the Batcave to find some information.

Several people looked at each other.

Wayne II looked calm, and even smiled slightly at Bruce, as if they were not about to go to his Batcave.

Batman doesn't look too good.

From the moment Brucey said the word 'Batcave', the dark Batman began to stare at the three of them with disapproval through the goggles.Sherlock's deepest impression of Batman is probably the opponent's surprisingly strong sense of territory, so that this is reflected in Batman all the time.

Fortunately, Wayne is there.

Noticing Batman's low air pressure, Wayne leaned lazily on Brucey, hooking Brucey staggeringly with the hanging arm.

"What's so good about the Batcave?"

"A beauty like you should avoid going to those gloomy places." He dragged his tone and changed his style of painting, "But—of course, as long as you are happy, you can do anything in Wayne Manor."

Wayne turned his head and raised an eyebrow at Batman.

Batman: "..." Forced by the patronage's power, he silently restrained the low pressure of displeasure around him.

——Who said that the Batcave is funded by the other party?

"Wow, it looks like we all know the secret entrance to the Batcave," Wayne said. "I thought it was a clever idea to put the entrance here."

The whole group was quite silent, but as a playboy, Wayne couldn't bear the quietness and silence that Batmen were used to.He sighed briskly along the way, and he also asked Brucey, the only one with a less dull aura, to answer a few words.

"..." Brussie paused, "I thought it would be the most strange that you would set the entrance here?" After all, only Wayne and Batman are not the same person, and setting the Batcave in the study is equivalent to acquiescing Batman was able to walk in and out of Wayne Manor...

——No matter how I think about it, I think the relationship between these two people is a bit weird.

Wayne shrugged: "I don't know what I was thinking at the time."

The Batcave in the Memory Palace is very different from the real Batcave Brucey has seen - perhaps Sherlock did not really enter this secret base belonging to Batman, but only learned about the Batcave through the remaining clues on Batman. environment to speculate.

Bruce could see no trace.

But he's the man with two Batmen!

Although Wayne No. [-] has not taken the initiative to admit his identity as Batman... However, Batman is enough!This is Batman with 'super territorial awareness', and he is absolutely aware of any changes in the Batcave.

Bruce has confidence in his temporary teammate.

As he thought, Batman was already striding out before the others started to move.

It was Wayne's role to get others into the Batcave, and he didn't want others to rummage in the Batcave to find clues.

"He's been here," he announced in a low voice, obviously more unpleasant than before.

I also want to know that someone broke into my secret base without knowing it, even if that person is me, it is not something that a control freak can easily accept.

"Look, I'll have to allocate a sum of money to him later to renovate this bat nest." Wayne muttered softly.To be honest, he was no stranger to such a situation.

Bruce laughed a little.

He really didn't expect that separating the two identities of Bruce and Batman would produce such a dramatic effect - Batman is low-key, repressed and taciturn; Wayne loves to play, laugh and be romantic.Although they are two completely different people, they seem to have a different kind of tacit understanding when they get together, making people feel the unusually close connection between the two at all times.

If he didn't know that both of them are Bruce in essence, I'm afraid Bruce would also feel that there is a special relationship between Wayne and Batman.

But now is not the time to joke, he said seriously: "Can you see his whereabouts?"

Batman glanced at him. "London."

"He didn't hide his whereabouts." Wayne Two stood next to Batman at some point.He picked up a piece of paper on the table and looked at Bruce, "This is probably what he left for you."

"Sherlock Holmes, 221B Baker Street, London." Number Two read.

Bruce took the note, and it turned out to be Bruce's handwriting.

Sherlock...

Things swirled around and seemed to come back to Sherlock again.

If only he had asked a few more questions when he was with Sherlock before, he was a little annoyed.After all, this is the thinking palace of the other party, and as the master, Sherlock will definitely know more than others.

But it doesn't help to be upset now.

"How do we get to London?"

——Most of the cases that Sherlock solved were in London, and Bruce immediately remembered the door that Sherlock had opened before.But how to leave this room and go to other places?

Wayne looked at him like a fool: "I have a private jet."

"..."

That being said, after leaving the confines of Gotham, the private jet got lost in a haze of white mist.

Brucey, who was watching Batman fly the plane: "..."

Wayne who was about to open champagne: "..."

Wayne No. [-]: "It seems that Holmes didn't take a plane when he left Gotham." Unlike Batman's silence, although No. [-] talked less, he always hit the nail on the head when he opened his mouth.

"We'd better find his transportation out of Gotham."

……

"I don't understand, why did he take the freight train?" Wayne frowned in disgust, "If I had known this, I would have subsidized him a little..."

It was almost dark in the shipping warehouse, with only a dim light for illumination.The sound of wheels hitting the rails came through the carriage, making it dull and weird.Four people squeezed together beside the sack of flour—more than enough space for one person, but it was very cramped after four people were squeezed.

"At least you can be thankful that we are surrounded by real flour." Wayne [-] has dragged away several sacks to make a temporary seat for himself.

This did not comfort him.

Wayne sat on the sack, glancing over his companions with sullen blue eyes.

"Pfft," he laughed suddenly, "Batman, you're dyed white!"

"I love this colorway."
