How to start Meursault

Despite all the concerns, the investigation must continue.

Intelligence from family, intelligence from enemies, intelligence from allies.

Fortunately, Gotham is a place where information dealers can be found everywhere. For more confidential information, there are also villains and 'special agencies' where information can be found.

——In short, He Jian will not try to touch the bat computer again. They must have updated the system in time after using the key last time.

After finally getting the information whose authenticity is not tested from various sources, he barely pieced together the main events that happened in this world, this Gotham, during the years that did not exist in his world.

Even so, He Jian actually only cares about a very limited number of people.

Batgirl like Barbara doesn't seem to be on the streets anymore.He reasonably suspected it was because she had found the oracle to be a better fit for her - or that her spine hadn't fully recovered.

Nightwing disappeared for a while, and just returned not long ago, and changed back to his old uniform.The reason remains to be investigated, but since Dick was in good condition when looking for Damian last time, the priority can be temporarily lowered.

After Damian changed his uniform—shortly after Alfred's death, he seemed to give Tim back the position of Robin next to Batman, which probably explains why Tim changed his uniform.

Jason seems to have really had a falling out with Bruce, and publicly took over the Iceberg Restaurant under the name of Jason Todd-when did his grievances with Oswald become so strong that he wanted to publicly shoot the Penguin?Batman was seen beating the Red Hood pretty badly that night.Fortunately, they reconciled later.

As for things like the destruction of the manor, it didn't surprise He Jian. He knew about it when he read the news collection before, but it's the same as the fluctuation of WE, and it's not really important.

Finally, Bruce.

He Jian looked at the information he had collected, and felt his head start to phantom pain again.

——He had to admit that probably Bruce was one of the most important parts of the world line.

When He Jian was so skeptical last time, he could still tell himself that it might be because he is from Gotham and a member of this family. Naturally, he would look at things from Batman and a certain villain or Batman and the Justice League. point of view.

But if the invasion of the dark multiverse uses Bruce himself as a channel, and summons a group of limited-edition Batmen who seem to be a combination of the Justice League and Bruce as thugs, it can only show that Bruce is at the center of the world line.

Judging from He Jian's experience in the previous world, it is very difficult to directly influence such people, and will be directly targeted by the world consciousness. Relatively speaking, it is easier to use indirect means to influence, such as changing the necessary conditions for something to happen a little.

He Jian, very seriously, does not want his world to be invaded by the dark multiverse, nor does he want that weird laughing bat to appear in his world.

But He Jian has not yet obtained complete information about how this great event that spread to the world began and ended.He got some information from Arkham residents who were bewitched by the Laughing Bat, but that wasn't close enough to Bruce himself.

"It seems to say that special metals can be used as weapons to harm visitors from the dark multiverse—" He Jian muttered thoughtfully, "The first thing that comes to mind is definitely an owl."

And the court of owls seems to be one of the accomplices who started the whole thing.Need to investigate.High priority.

By the way, the news he bought shows that Deathstroke seems to have joined the war as a friendly army.That guy's sword does contain special metals.

—Would you like to ask Deathstroke?The man may get more information than he can from the bat by giving what he needs.

Such thoughts flashed through He Jian's mind, and finally stopped at a certain column in the to-do list.

Damian stood silently at Alfred Pennyworth's grave holding a tube of Lazarus.

He can choose to resurrect Alfred now, anyway, in the world he is familiar with, there are not many people who come back from another world for various reasons.

He is one himself.

But Damian just stared at the tombstone silently.

He knew his mother wouldn't hesitate to do it, but—

Damian had seen too many people go crazy over the water in Lazarus.

It would be disrespectful for Alfred to come back with a curse on him.

Still without a word, Damian spilled the liquid in the tube on the ground, then turned around.

His mother, Talia Ogu, stands behind him.

"It seems that you have made a decision," Thalia said.

Since this is a choice made by Damian with his own will in a fully awake state, there is no need to question it.

She turned to another matter.

"Damian, you left before we had time to talk." Before Damian's face changed, Talia mentioned the content that overwhelmed his anger, "The person who stayed by your side in the arena , once spoke to your grandfather, shortly after you left him."

Hearing this information, Damian didn't have the surprised reaction Talia expected, but instead showed an expression closer to "it really is".

It's not surprising that the superpower owner who ran away because of his words knew his family well, considering that he used his key to hack the bat computer before.

To be honest, Damian once suspected that the other party might be another clone with some of his memories, but the boy he saw that day looked completely East Asian, and he didn't look like him.

But why on earth would this person care about Alfred then?He used the back door opened in the gift Richard gave him to borrow the bat computer to search, but found no information that matched this face.

Could it be a child taken in by his father in some parallel world?Damian thought of the other person's black hair and blue eyes, and that special attitude towards himself.

If it was another Thomas Wayne-like guy, Damian wasn't quite sure he'd be able to resist following his father's rules.

He felt that it was necessary for him to check the spatial fluctuations in Gotham in the recent period - he had an intuition that this person had appeared in Gotham from the beginning, and maybe he was also in Gotham now.

Originally, Damian didn't want to involve his mother in this matter, but since his grandfather had talked with that person...

"I hope this is not a way for you to trick me into taking me away, mother." Damian said coldly.

He remembered what Thalia had said to him before he went to the Lazarus Union Championships.He's just a weapon Talia wants to use.

"Damian." Talia's face showed a sadness that Damian couldn't believe. "Maybe, I would have done this in the past. But now I hope we can have a different future."

Not weapons and users.But real mother and son.

After a while, two people left the cemetery.Together.

(Of course including Mrs. Thalia's assassins)

Russ Ogu actually didn't expect that he could take away his mother so smoothly.

He did think that perhaps their little devil would lead the contestants on Lazarus Island to defeat the demon summoned by his mother.

But Lars didn't expect that the demon was not successfully summoned at all.Although he has always insisted on treating Lazarus Pool with a scientific attitude, he also knows that the Lazarus Alliance and the Shadow Alliance will not fall to his mother without something to prove.

Luhan Aogu obviously didn't expect it either, otherwise he wouldn't be so crazy, and he didn't even want to believe that it wasn't caused by him. Lars had to temporarily give up communicating with his mother.

He is not without suspects.

Several of the contestants on the island Thalia stopped by witnessed what happened after Damian was knocked out by Connor Hawk for the second time.

——A teenager whom none of them had ever seen jumped out suddenly and walked to Damian's side, guarding Damian until he woke up.

The description of appearance is consistent with the kid that Russ saw who liked to talk to himself.

Just a little bit.The contestant said that the boy had a strong smell of death, as if he had just killed hundreds of people, but he had no killing intent.

Generally speaking, Russ is more comfortable with the former description being applied to himself.And when he saw that kid, he didn't feel any strong smell of death.

The only possibility is that this person did something after leaving the island where Russ was on, before the tournament ended.

Thinking of the kid's quick recovery, fearlessness of death, and dismissive attitude towards Lazarus, Lars had a few guesses.

Damian's arrival gave him some new inspiration.

"Grandpa, what did he say to you?"

In fact, valuable information can be said to be very little, after all, the other party is mainly asking Lars questions.But some information can also be learned from the questions asked.

"He came with you, and he is also investigating Lazarus." Lars replied, "I think you should be clear about the previous point."

Damian frowned, but said nothing.

"And, he claims he was not your father's disciple. And it was your father who made sure of it."

Russ watched Damian's expression gradually sinking, and he didn't say anything about the other party's question of 'semi-retired villain' and Thalia's 'regaining love for Damian'.

It's not that he's suspicious, it's just that the only thing he can be sure of is that the person is friendly to Damian, and the rest of the positions are still in chaos.Even detectives would agree with him.

Today's villain recruitment notices have also kept pace with the times. The coverage of mysterious joint codes like in the past is too small. Short-term recruitment on the Internet and even the establishment of APPs are very common.

Luca is not such a fashionable person, but it is very convenient for Hejian. Even the real big shots need small people, and even Poison Ivy will find a few 'gardeners', but the survival rate of small people It is not optimistic.

Except for groups like the Clown Gang that He Jian hates from the bottom of his heart, he doesn't mind joining in the fun with most of the Gotham criminals with a fixed territory--if it wasn't for him not finding the double-faced man for a while, it might be His first choice.

This kind of feeling is like doing odd jobs for several days, and what is really used to pay the bills is the information He Jian wants.Whenever he changed a club, he carefully obtained information from the corresponding perspective.It doesn't have to be Luca, it can be any name that deserves to die.

This is the most frequent death after he mastered the ability.Not entirely for the purpose of using death escape to get rid of identity, but also to test the impact of the last sacrifice.

It turned out badly.According to the data provided by 033, his world rejection has been increasing steadily before he sacrificed, but after this move of losing the demon, which should theoretically lead to a sharp increase in rejection, it has not changed too much, just As if he was recognized as a member of this world.

In the subsequent death, he once intentionally went to hell to have a look, but failed, and he was resurrected directly every time, and the speed was even much faster than in the original world——

He Jian really didn't want to admit it, but his strength had increased significantly after that sacrifice.And he had a hunch that his ritual magic in this world would be responded to later.

It's over.He's definitely being targeted. (This is the extent of becoming a favored person)

Now it is not a question of whether he will be kicked out, but a question of whether he can still be kicked out.

He didn't dare to express this thought yet, for fear of offending the one who was watching him.

On the bright side, he probably won't have any real crisis in this world. Even if he is caught by bats and birds, he will be locked up for interrogation at most.

He Jian thought with joy in the bitterness, and found out the information about Bruce that he wanted to know before in a non-existent organization.

What made Bruce become a special channel were five special metals, and a conspiracy that existed a long, long time ago. From Bruce's own timeline, at least before he was hit by Darkseid's Omega rays start.

Very good, Hejian will remember to prevent Bruce from touching N metal, as long as five are missing and one will be fine.And the remnants of the Owl Court, the belief in the Bat God must be interrupted.

The problem is Barbatos.Barbatos was off to a bad start, implicating the World Forge and Creation Goddess Perpetua as guys who'd better not show up.

——If you look at it from the perspective of the mirror, the audience might complain about what is going on with this increasingly grand but boring villain.

He Jian let his thinking slide to a dangerous place.

Perhaps it would be nice to have a near-permanent loop in everyday stories like Detective〇Southern World.The main line may not be a good thing for the people in the story.

By the way, he has to confirm the situation of Barbatos in his own universe.If you accidentally make your world too unstable, it may be destroyed.

He Jian sighed silently.

——He originally thought about making radical changes, but the information he obtained made him hesitate.

If Bruce hadn't acquired X-Metal in the Forge of Worlds, certain battles would likely have been unwinnable.

What should he do?

When he is in trouble as He Jian, it is necessary for Luca to appear.

Among so many names used by He Jian, only this one has been living well on the streets of Gotham, far away from danger.

Angelica and the people in the bar would be willing to listen to Luka's upside-down description of all the bad things he encountered, and laugh it off. No one would think that this little thief had any great secrets.

—perhaps until this day.

In the live TV broadcast, when Las Ogu, who was giving a speech and was about to surrender, was shot dead by the death knell and destroyed by a bomb, Angelica saw Luca's overly shocked look.
