No one spoke in the lecture hall, and in the silence, even the sound of breathing was very distinct.

"There is blood..." A big boy standing not far from Alice and Wesley stood up, "There is really blood in the box..." The last layer of the courier box that had been removed from five layers of cartons was seeping out Crimson liquid.

"Alice?" Wesley's face turned pale, "Don't tear it down, I'll call someone." The school security should be downstairs, and Wesley wanted to pull the girl away.

Blood……

Staring wide-eyed at the cardboard box on the table, Alice couldn't see or hear anything except a touch of red in front of her eyes. "...Alice Thorne returned home, only to find that her parents had been killed..." Bruce Wayne's voice echoed in his ears.

"Alice, Alice!" Wesley held on tightly to the girl who was about to unpack the last layer of the courier box. "Don't move around, we'll call the police to look at it!" The courier that was mysteriously mailed to the school had blood oozing out of the box, and now he almost wanted to slap himself who signed for the courier.

"Alice, wait for the security guard to come up." Others also discouraged, "The security guard is below, I'll call." The girl who was the first to be crazy about Bruce Wayne today hurriedly pushed open the door of the classroom.

"Alice!" Wesley held the girl in his arms tightly, "What's wrong with you?" The little girl insisted on unpacking the cardboard boxes like crazy, God knows where she got so much energy.

"Let me see, let me see first!" As soon as he spoke, the crimson liquid flowed down the cracks in the carton.The unique smell of blood made Alice feel cold all over, and her eyes turned black, "George!" George Wesley is the full name of the little friend.

"Don't!" The explosive power of a person in a special situation is amazing. In desperation, Alice broke free from Wesley's shackles and threw herself in front of the box. "Alice!" Wesley, unable to stop her, only had time to call out the other party's name.

"crash",

The last layer of carton was torn open by Alice, and the things wrapped inside finally revealed their true colors——

"Ahhh!"

"My God!"

……

"Are you okay?" In a conference room at Columbia University's School of Mathematics, Bruce Wayne handed a cup of freshly brewed hot cocoa to a girl with a pale face. "Here, have a drink." He sat down.

"Thank you, Mr. Wayne." Taking a deep breath, Alice wanted to take the cup handed over by the other party, but almost spilled the hot cocoa because her hand was still shaking.Batman, who reacted quickly, held the glass with one hand and saved her from being splashed all over her body.

"Be careful." Bruce wanted to hand the cup back, but seeing the little girl's trembling hand, he still didn't let go after Alice picked up the cup. "Drink slowly." After the girl in front of him gulped down half a cup of hot cocoa, Bruce put the cup on the table. "Is it better?"

"I'm fine." Shaking her head, Alice smiled, "I'm really sorry, but I'll trouble you to come back again."

After the cardboard box on the last floor was opened, what appeared in front of everyone was a human head, more precisely, a human head whose brain had been hollowed out.

The bloody and cruel scene made the students in the lecture theater scream. By the time the security guard was called up, Alice's classmates were already standing in the corridor. The girls softly comforted the silent Alice from left to right.

They thought she was terrified.

But Alice knew in her heart that the moment she saw the contents of the carton clearly, what she felt was not fear, but relaxation—her parents were fine.

The security guards and campus police who arrived did not dare to delay at all when they saw this scene. All the students in the classroom were immediately taken to the school infirmary for placement. Professor Davis came afterward. , New York police also rushed to the scene.

Alice, who was repeatedly asked by the professor and the school doctor if she felt uncomfortable, took out her mobile phone after a short silence and called back Batman who had just left Columbia.

Things had gotten so big that she needed someone who could hold the scene to help with the police hearings that were sure to come later.After all, she is not only the recipient of the courier, but most importantly, she knows the owner of the brain-emptied head—Matthew, or Joseph Hank, who was identified by the BAU before. The serial killer who had committed multiple murders in Manhattan, the one who had gone missing after attacking her.

BAU speculated at the time that Joseph Hank had a dispute with his accomplices, but no one thought that he died.

Still in such a tragic way.

"Do you want to take a break?" Bruce asked with concern when he was called back to the "town hall".Maybe it's because the TV series left a deep impression on his memory, maybe it's because Alice Thorne in the show always reminds him of the night when his parents were killed, or maybe it's just because of the actress at that time The acting skills are so good, Bruce Wayne, who remembered everything, had an inseparable feeling when facing Alice.

Empathy, Bruce thought.His childhood experience made him empathize with Alice Thorne. When facing a girl, he always unconsciously brought her into his childhood role.

It seemed that by protecting the other party, he protected the helpless self in his childhood.

"I'm fine." Shaking her head, Alice rejected Batman's suggestion that she go to the infirmary to rest.The New York police sent a serious crimes team headed by Detective Cameron Bull to seal off the entire school building. My little friend Wesley is now being called in for questioning because of helping to collect the courier. She can't escape by herself . "How is George?" Inspector Bull, an old acquaintance, had a bad face when he saw her.

"Wesley's lawyer is also here, so you don't have to worry." The circle of local tyrants is so big, even if George Wesley himself and Bruce Wayne don't know each other, Bruce still knows the surname of Wesley. "As long as he is not involved in the case, nothing will happen." The New York police are only conducting routine inquiries.

"That's good." With a sigh, Alice nodded.Who had cut off Joseph Hank's head and sent it to her?Why would the other party do this? "Mr. Wayne, can you tell me about the number7 you said yesterday?" When Batman gave a detailed introduction to the background of number7 yesterday, she was kicked out.

"Actually, none of that matters." Bruce didn't think girls should know that.Real life is different from TV dramas. Since Alice Thorne has nothing to do with number7 in this life, he shouldn't reveal too much information about the criminal group and make the little girl more troubled. "Alice, didn't you tell me? Just call me Bruce." The quirky little girl was always polite and polite after revealing his identity, which made "Bruce Wayne" and "Bat" who had been squeezed Heroes" are not quite used to it.

"Bruce." Probably guessing why Batman took care of her so much, Alice took the opportunity to get closer. "Just tell me." On the day Joseph Hank attacked her, he was supposed to kill her, but when she woke up, she had already returned home, and the mysterious man who rescued her even helped her Feed the cat.Combined with Sherlock's deduction, the person who saved her from Joseph Hank is likely to be the one who cut off the other person's head today.

The big detective speculates that there is a deputy or subordinate who wants "Alice, Thorne" to return, so kill the person who will be unfavorable to the BOSS and cut off the head of the opponent and send it to "Alice Thorne" who has not yet recovered his memory. Isn't it a logical thing to give the other party a stimulus in this way?

"You suspect that the person who sent you something is behind number7?" Bruce thoughtfully used the pronoun. "I don't know much. Stark and the others are already investigating, and I'll tell you when they find out the results, okay?" That TV series spent 80.00% of the space telling the heroine's mental journey, As for the deputy who stood next to "Alice Thorne" at the end, Bruce couldn't think of any useful clues other than a name, and the Avengers team is currently trying their best to track it down with limited clues. "I believe S.H.I.E.L.D. will take over today's case. They will find out whether this matter is related to number7." But of course, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s action efficiency today is a bit slow.

"...You don't believe me." Batman talked about him, but he refused to reveal any details about number7 to her.Alice looked at Bruce Wayne who was sitting next to her, and knew in her heart that the other party must be worried that she would really get involved with the criminal group after knowing too many clues. "You still suspect that I have something to do with number7, do you think I will do bad things in the future, right?" With just the right words and performance, Alice tried to blow up more news from Batman - she can ignore everything else, But this matter is related to the safety of her parents, and she must figure it out.

"I didn't think that way." Bruce knew that the girls around him were sensitive, and he tried to reassure her. "Alice, I never thought you had something to do with number7." Even the little girl in the TV series went astray because of too much shock after losing her parents, and because of being unkind.But Alice's parents are both in front of her, and Iron Man and Captain America are friends, so how could she go on which path?What's more, he will also take care of each other. "Some things are the secrets of Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. Even if I know about them, I can't say them casually. But that doesn't mean I don't trust you." Touching the other's hair, Batman tried to dispel the little girl's uneasiness. "Alice, I never doubted you, trust me, okay?" The little girl once ran out of the hotel to save him at the risk of her life in Gotham, how could he doubt her.

"Dong dong dong", just when Alice thought she would be able to pry Batman's mouth open immediately, there was a knock on the door of the meeting room. "Miss Thorne." A policeman in a dark coat poked his head in. "Inspector Bull and I would like to talk to you. Do you think it's okay?" In just half an hour, the Internet and the media have been swept away. If they can't solve the case as soon as possible, not only will Boolean's promotion be hopeless, but the entire team will have to follow suit.

"Alice, do you think it's okay?" Bruce asked in a low voice.

"...Well, I'm fine." Sighing secretly that the police came at an untimely time, Alice made a cooperative expression on her face, "You can ask anything you want." She looked at Cameron who had already entered the room Bull and another detective.

"I'm Inspector Taylor Ross, and this is Inspector Cameron Bull." Ross, who had red hair in a dark coat, introduced himself and his colleagues. "We are responsible for the investigation of the case that happened today." A female police officer should have been called in to appease the witnesses, but Burphy said no.

"Alice, you can just call me Alice." Alice smiled.

"Miss Thorne, we want to talk to you alone, do you think it's okay?" Detective Bull didn't wait for his colleagues to greet each other, and went straight to the point.Gotham's richest man Bruce Wayne, who is as famous as Iron Man Tony Stark, appeared here, but he was a little worried. "As for this Mr. Wayne..." He hinted that Bruce Wayne was going out by himself.

"He wants to stay here." Calling Batman over was originally to "suppress the place", how could Alice let people leave. "Mr. Wayne is my friend, and this is not a police interrogation. I think I have the right to ask my friend to accompany me, don't I?"

"Of course." Ross glanced at his colleague and understood why Bull said that the victim was difficult to deal with. "Of course Mr. Wayne can stay." But in this way, they have to be careful when asking questions.

"Alice, do you know who sent the courier box that was delivered today?" Inspector Ross took up the task of questioning, and Inspector Bull was in charge of observation and addition.

"I don't know." It was true. If she knew who sent the box, the case would have been solved long ago.

"The mailing address on the courier box is London, England. Have you offended anyone there?" After checking by the courier company, the sending address of the box transporting the head was London, England.

"No, I just met a few classmates in London when I was an exchange student. I don't have a deep friendship, so I can't talk about offending anyone." At least she didn't offend the murderer, and she put the head in a box and sent it to her people.

"We found out that there seemed to be a problem with that exchange activity?" Bull asked on behalf of his colleagues, "It is said that your tutor at the time, Professor Will Kingsley, and another student were killed, and some of the people who were with you were even killed. Someone poisoned? It seems to be the eyewitness this time, George Wesley." The incident was sensitive, and he had to pay more attention.

"Are these two things related?" Bruce interrupted Inspector Bull's question. "Does the New York police think that the murder of Professor Kingsley is related to what happened today?" He didn't want Alice to recall Professor Kingsley.

"We just have to consider all possibilities." Ross and his colleagues looked at each other. "Mr. Wayne, we are just making a routine inquiry." Bruce Wayne really caused them trouble.

"Then please don't ask too much about things that have nothing to do with this incident." Batman was unmoved.Will Kingsley's death was caused by Hydra, and those directly involved in the operation have also been detained by the British government. He didn't want this to affect Alice's mood at this time.

"Of course." Detective Ross nodded kindly. "Alice, we found this note in the cardboard box." An evidence bag was pushed over from the side of the table, "Look, if you can think of anything." The man put on the bag so he was not wet with blood.

Alice stretched out her hand to pick up the evidence bag, a dark red sticky note with handwritten cursive words on it - "agift". "A gift?" Alice frowned, "This gift is really special." Who would kill Joseph Hank?

"Have you never seen this font?" Inspector Ross actually didn't expect much.

"No." She had never seen this font.

"Alice, then... the head that was sent today, do you know who it is?" Rose, who had already learned the identity of the deceased from the database, asked tentatively.Someone put the head of a serial killer in a cardboard box and sent it to the girl in front of him. What is the relationship between Alice Thorne and the murderer?

"I know." Nodding, Alice didn't think there was anything to hide about this matter. "Joseph Hank, he is the serial killer who made a lot of noise in Manhattan a while ago." The other party's arrest warrant was continuously broadcast 24/7 last month, and there is no one in Manhattan who does not know the owner of that face is badass.

"So do you know Joseph Hank?" It was finally possible to enter the topic.

"Inspector Bull, Alice is the victim, she was terrified." Batman already understood what the two detectives meant.It is said to be a routine inquiry, but the person who received the email in this case will either be regarded as a potential victim by the police detectives, or will be suspected by the police detectives as the culprit.Looking at the attitudes of the two detectives in front of them, it was obvious that Alice was the latter. "Joseph Hank is the most wanted criminal in the state. Of course Alice knows about him." Even if this case needs to be investigated, the S.H.I.E.L.D. "If you have no other questions, I'm going to take her away. Alice was frightened today, and I have to take her to the hospital." After speaking, Bruce stood up, expressing his attitude of no longer cooperating clearly.

"You..." Inspector Bull was full of dissatisfaction and was held back by his colleagues. "Of course, Alice really needs to go to the hospital for an examination." Rose was more tactful, "It's too cruel for us to encounter such a thing, let alone a child." Joseph Hanke's skull was lifted, and the whole Brain tissue is poached.Rather than saying that it was a human head that was mailed, it would be better to say that it was only half of Joseph Hank's head that was mailed. "Alice, don't leave Manhattan in the near future. I'll let you know about the latest developments in the case." A business card was handed over.

"Okay, thank you." Accepting the business card, Alice reciprocated. "I'll call you if I think of anything." No one can say the scene.

"Dong dong dong", the door of the meeting room was knocked again. "Inspector," a policeman wearing a NYPD jacket pushed open the door, "The BAU people are here."

……

Bruce's plan to take the little girl to the doctor and then leave directly was temporarily shelved because of the sincere FBI agents in front of him.

"I didn't expect to meet Mr. Wayne here." Morgan grinned, his small white teeth were particularly conspicuous. "It's a pleasure to meet you." BAU gave the test results but failed to catch Joseph Hank, but the other party died strangely.Agent Hotchner, who received the report, arrived immediately with his team.

"Miss Thorne, Mr. Wayne." Compared with the team members, Hochner was a little more serious. "Thank you very much for your cooperation." The nature of this case is bad, and it happened in a sensitive place like Columbia University. After coordination, this case has now been handed over to BAU.

Three seconds of silence for poor Detective Bull who was robbed of the case again.

"It's fine", Alice blinked and forced a smile.S.H.I.E.L.D.'s action this time is surprisingly slow. "But I don't know much. I told the two detectives just now." She really didn't know who sent the mail.

"Alice, we know this." David Rossi, as one of the people who had communicated with Alice, reluctantly played the acquaintance card. "After Joseph Hank disappeared, think about it carefully, has anything unusual happened around you?" As an elite team of the FBI, BAU has already speculated that the person who killed Joseph Hank and mailed his head and The mysterious disappearance of Joseph Hank must be related-in other words, the mysterious person who rescued Alice in the first place is very likely to be the murderer of Joseph Hank.

A bunch of unusual things happened, which one do you mean?

Alice licked her lips, complaining in her heart. "I have no idea."

"Miss Thorne, think again." Reid stood aside, observing the girl sitting next to Batman since entering the door.He could memorize Alice Thorne's life by heart, and now Rhett could swear by his IQ above 180, the little girl definitely had a secret.

"I really don't know." Shaking her head, Alice pushed the question to Bruce. "I want to go home." The school will definitely not have classes today, and she still wants to go home and have a good sleep.The hollowed out head or something, she is afraid now when she thinks about it.

"Agent Hotchner, Agent Rosie," Batman got up vigorously, "You have seen it too, if you have any other questions, please wait until Alice has a rest." The little girl said to the BAU people It seems that he has a particularly good impression, and Bruce is a little puzzled why.

"Alright then." The witnesses were not in good condition, and they couldn't force it. "I'll take you out." Rhett stood up unexpectedly.

"Okay." Bruce held Alice's bag in his hand, and walked slightly in front, while Dr. Reid and Alice walked behind side by side.

"Do you have anything to say?" Alice could see that the little doctor of BAU hesitated to speak several times.

"Uh, I, actually..." A group of three people had already reached the stairs, but Reid still hesitated to ask questions. "I..." he stammered.

"What?" Out of the corner of her eye, Alice saw Batman pick up the phone.

"I..." Rhett finally made up his mind, "I want to..."

"Come with me." Bruce turned around and grabbed Alice's arm, "Thank you, Dr. Rhett, I'll just send it here." Without waiting for the other party's response, he pulled the girl up and walked quickly go downstairs.

"Hey, wait, what's the matter?" Pulled by Batman to go downstairs quickly, Alice was puzzled, "Bruce, what's the matter with you?" Why was she suddenly in a hurry to leave.

"Something happened." Bruce Wayne had a serious expression. He was holding the other party's bag in one hand and the girl in his hand with the other. "You go back with me first." He had to take him to Gotham first.

"What's the matter?" Staggering and being dragged down the sixth floor by the man, Alice was out of breath, "I can't run anymore, what's the matter?" Like a ghost.

"Something happened." Ignoring the police who asked them to leave quickly, Bruce opened the car door and stuffed the girl into the car.

"An accident happened to S.H.I.E.L.D."
