[Comprehensive British and American] Gotham Nightingale

At the end of the 45-degree downward-sloping corridor is a low and empty underground floor.

Compared with the central area disguised as the "core area" above, this underground square, which is comparable to the size of an air force base, is more ferocious and gloomy.

Iron-gray walls, ferocious ballistic launchers, more than twice as tight protection as external patrols, ubiquitous monitoring and scanning equipment, soldiers who look like ordinary people...

And the center of the entire area, the giant three-story round "egg" surrounded by countless hanging lines.

When the red hood and Batman's feet stepped out of the corridor, countless gazes were projected from all directions.

However, they soon discovered that the gaze didn't stay on them for too long.

—Because before the two of them arrived, someone had already attracted the attention of all mutant fighters before them.

"...That's the way it is, B, whether your bodyguard knows the real identity of that man or not, you have to be careful."

Wonder Woman's voice was soft and measured.

"No need." Batman stood at the exit of the tunnel, his eyes turned to the black-haired woman who turned her head to look at her because she noticed the movement behind her, "I've seen her."

He has seen the nightingale.

The clues have long been connected together like beads, but each time they are covered by a hazy mist.

The weird "rules" made all those who had doubts about her identity coincidentally ignore the past time and time again.

——Whether it is to define the two identical words "Nightingale" and "Nightingale" as two different people, or to limit the image of "Nightingale" to a mature woman who still has charm.

If Diana hadn't bumped into Nightingale and Ryan Thea's colleagues, and if he hadn't found out that Alger and Nightingale were from the Upper West Side, he might still not recognize her this time.

It was as if at this moment, Bruce looked at the face that was mostly covered by the mask...

Although the long and curly high ponytail, beautiful and powerful figure, the curvature of the mandible and the full red lips are all exactly the same as Nightingale.

When he looked at it as a whole, he seemed to have suddenly suffered from prosopagnosia, unable to distinguish her face.

Is it some kind of... "rule" again?

Under the black mask with cat ears, the dark knight's gaze is full of inquiry.

He knew very well that the Nightingale in front of him, who had never separated her gaze from their side and stared straight ahead indifferently, was exactly the lady bodyguard he knew, with friendly eyes and a shy or cunning smile.

The person she knew was Bruce Wayne, the founder of the Wayne Foundation. The protection and gratitude, jokes and admonitions she once said were all given to Bruce Wayne.

And he?He is Batman.

He was the object that the culprit of the Gotham Hospital bombing ten years ago wanted to provoke and play with, and he was the indirect murderer of the girl in the video who hissed and wailed in the sea of ​​flames.

These two identities have been opposites from the very beginning.

……

Batman looked away.

Nightingale and Alger, Batman, and Red Hood, these two/three parties are not far or close.

On the opposite side of the four of them, the guards surrounded them and yelled: "You! Lie Yan! This is not a place you have the right to enter! Get out of here and get your punishment for dereliction of duty."

"Raging Flame" is Alger's code name in the mutant manufacturing organization.

The guards were yelling, but the guns were already humming and accumulating energy, and they were obviously ready to tear their faces apart.

What responded to them was Alger's ironic sneer.

The atmosphere froze for a moment like a bowstring stretched to the extreme.

In the next second, nearly a hundred bright blue energy beams zipped through the air, setting off a converging chaotic cyclone halfway.

The huge recoil of the attack volley stirred up the air in most of the underground base, and Bruce could hear the buzzing air flow in the corridor behind him... and the roar of the shock wave being completely neutralized!

In front of him, a hemispherical boundary that completely blocked the attack wave suddenly appeared.

The border was centered on the "raging flame" that the guards were mainly attacking. Hundreds of shock waves pierced the barrier, like pebbles falling into the ocean, and could only create circles of ripples like knocking on a door.

——So Batman's ability record for "raging flames" was added.

Following Alger's raised right hand, he grasped it fiercely, and the veins in his big and well-defined hand bulged, and the barrier that continued to block the shooting energy wave shrank inward for several meters.

The shrinking barrier shrank in front of them like breathing.

then.

"boom--!"

The energy beam that was being launched, together with the energy absorbed by the barrier before, rebounded loudly!

Like a player's palm fiddled with a nutcracker, hundreds of guards were blasted several meters away by the terrifying energy from the counterattack, and the impact of flesh and flesh, flesh and ground was barely audible against the background sound of the explosion.

After the shock, Alger stood on the spot, moved his wrist, and there was a crackling sound from his joints.

Only then did his gaze turn to Batman and Red Hood who appeared from the same passageway: "Look who is this, the Dark Knight of Gotham? And the claws of the Court of Owls? What a wonderful combination."

The expression on the red hood stinks to death—even though no one can see his expression clearly through such a fully-covered hood, his tone already says it all: "Lie Yan, are you blind? You think someone else will help you when you find reinforcements by yourself. Just like you?"

Alger was taken aback by his angry state.

After reacting, he took Nightingale to his side, and said to the red hood, "You are more pleasing to the eye when you are still dumb." Then he waved his right hand again, and he was within his range. The "not a combination" of the two left far away.

Batman threw his claws in mid-air, and grabbed Jason's arm with his other hand, but was thrown away by the latter's sullen palm.

Batman heard from their conversation that these two people had dealt with each other a lot, that is to say, the mutant manufacturing base and the court of owls had long been involved.

At the same time, Jason's gaze turned from Argel the Flame to Nightingale.

——Damn it, of course he knows who she is, but he has also discovered that he can't say that she was the target of his mission at all, and he can't say that it was Nightingale who packed him to Wayne Manor, let alone that Nightingale already knew Bruce Wayne is Batman.

I don't know if Batman knows that Nightingale knows his identity...

No, why should he care if he knows? !

Red Hood made himself so angry that his liver hurt, but no one knew what he was angry about.

……

"Crack, crack, crack..."

Slow applause came from behind the giant "egg".

The applause seemed to be a signal, and the mutant guards who were originally indifferent to the invaders and scattered all over the base stood up one after another.

Away from these strange mutants, they could only see the corner of the white coat exposed by the person applauding.

"You are finally here."

The man spoke slowly, his voice sounded like the hissing of a cold snake.

"[Source]'s awakening is only one step away..."

"You did a great job, Lie Yan."
