Chapter 41: Waking Time

"The doctor who made the potion and his little helper are being tied up on the top floor of Arkham Asylum. If you policemen are quick enough, you can catch them before the other party comes to the rescue, or I can hope that you catch the rope before it rots." They?" In the Gotham Police Department, Gordon said sarcastically while listening to the voice from the other end on the phone.

"Who are you?" An unfamiliar voice came from a familiar number. Gordon, who was in the middle of a meeting, circled the location of Arkham on the map with a marker, and then pointed at several other people on the table with his pen.

"A man who was not expected."

What kind of answer is that?The kind Gordon tried to suggest: "Don't you have a code name? So I can use your code name to thank you for the valuable clues you gave the Gotham police."

A strange and suppressed low laugh came from the other end, and then the voice asked in a cheerful tone: "Officer, what do you think the meaning of not being expected is?"

what is itGordon thought about it slowly, but the other party had already hung up the phone ahead of time.

"Who provided the information?" Ram asked, staring at the disconnected phone.

"I don't know," Gordon shook his head honestly, but one thing is certain, that is: "He must be an ally."

Because it was called from that special number, it must be Batman's friend, but Gordon thought Batman was the Lone Ranger at first...

A funny thought flashed through Ram's mind, and she said hesitantly, "It might be his enemy, too."

The image of Batman being captured by a super-criminal and then losing his phone made Gordon's heart skip a beat, but it was clear that the situation didn't apply.

"It's impossible." Gordon said with great certainty, "What kind of enemy would use Batman's number to call our police and provide clues?"

That's right... Ram shrugged her shoulders and didn't bother with the topic anymore, she began to feel that her previous thought was too weird and funny.

If that kind of thing really happens, then maybe she is not in Gotham, but in heaven.A paradise where neither criminals nor heroes exist.

In fact, the person who made the call was none other than Yunhai. She had already limped back to Arkham to dispense the real potion. Now she came back and looked worriedly at a certain person lying motionless not far away. people.

"It's okay, I can't die, he is the son of the world." The system concluded in an extremely rare and slightly indifferent tone.

It's so rare that you didn't deliberately use a silly and sweet tone?It seems that that incident did have a big impact on the system.

"The main task didn't show as completed?" Sensing the emotion in the system's words, Yun Hai almost understood the conversation in seconds.

"Yes, it still shows a completion rate of 90.00%. Why is this happening? The data analysis has no results for the time being." The system was puzzled. During the conversation with the host, it refreshed back and forth several times, but the progress bar Still stubbornly making no progress.

"According to the analysis of thousands of samples of human behavior and emotion, Batman clearly projected extremely deep emotions on you, the host, in mid-air just now. It shouldn't be, the recognition is not full for such strong emotions?" And the system is somewhat She was worried that after losing the child of the world's recognition buff, whether the host's behavior would be judged as OOC and be recognized as an outsider by the world consciousness - if it was true, then she would be done with both.

"Maybe we can finish it when Bruce wakes up." Not very concerned, Yun Hai said.

What does this have to do with her, anyway, she will stay in this world regardless of whether the task is completed or not.When dragging his heavy legs towards Bruce under the tree, Yunhai thought casually.

Every step was very difficult, and accompanied by countless pains all over her body, Yunhai seemed to be able to hear her broken ribs creaking in protest, but she ignored her body's signals and staggered towards that not far away.There, the remains of the batarang still lay on the fallen leaves.

The system didn't notice, or didn't care about the host's situation at the moment, it muttered suspiciously: "Maybe." As a response to Yunhai, it shrank back to investigate if there were any bugs.

While the system was carefully scanning its own file library, it heard a few murmurs from the host, when Yunhai tried to drag the big Batman away.

"What the hell did you eat? Why is it so heavy." Yun Hai changed his support into a hug, and tried her best to move Bruce. After a few seconds of stalemate, she couldn't help complaining: "Damn it, I want to put you It was cut into pieces and shipped back to Wayne Manor piece by piece."

Wait a minute, at least wait until my task is completed!The system trembled and directly forked out half of the self-examination by mistake. It was about to stop it when it heard its host laugh abruptly.

I saw Yunhai scratching Bruce's chin, which was not covered by armor, and said with creepy love: "Really, how can I be willing?"

Oh, that's all right, excuse me.

A few hours later, on the other side of the city, Bruce woke up from the nightmare: "Joker!" His hands subconsciously grabbed the lights above his head.

"Master Wayne, are you awake?" Alfred's voice came from not far away, and Bruce saw a figure standing by the window, and then the heavy curtains were pulled open, and the afternoon sun immediately shone through .

"Alfred—" Bruce called out, covering his eyes with his arms, "What time is it?"

The old housekeeper owed his body and said very accurately: "The time is now 8:26 pm on August 3th, 21 hours and 10 minutes have passed since I found you, young master, the scars on your body have undergone the most basic repairs. After preliminary examination, there were 15 fractures, three soft tissue contusions, and several bruises. It is estimated that it will take a month of recovery time at the earliest before going to the ground."

a month?That's not okay.Bruce struggled and tried to get up, "I have a meeting in the afternoon." The bones all over his body made a rattling sound as if they were falling apart, and the pain rushed directly to the brain along the nerves.

"No, Master Wayne, you haven't. I have canceled the meeting in advance."

"What happened, Master Wayne? Are you all right? When I found you this morning, you were almost shattered into pieces. Did you get caught in the air by something and threw you down?"

"It's a big bird." Bruce gestured with his index finger and thumb apart, "It's a very big bird, I guess the species should be Haidongqing, and it has a bad temper." Imagine Joker when he heard himself comparing him to a bird The expression made Bruce couldn't help but laugh.

Alfred stared at the young master's facial expression without saying a word, he guessed that it might be a certain kind of person who could understand the magical code word.

Sitting by the bed, Alfred asked with concern after changing a cool handkerchief for the young master: "So, how do you feel now?"

"I'm fine." Very typical Batman answer, Bruce's consistent response when he is in pain.

Alfred spontaneously regarded the phrase "I'm fine" as the meaning of "I'm in a bad state", "Master Wayne, I think you need at least a month to recover."

"One month?" This is not okay, Bruce frowned: "One month is enough time for Joker to destroy Gotham many times."

A lie, because he knew that Yun Hai was hurt as badly as himself, maybe more?Although Bruce put himself under the Joker at the final moment of landing, he is not sure if this is real or hallucination, because he passed out after landing.

It's not fun to imagine Joker dragging his broken body back to the safehouse alone, and Bruce tries to push the thought out of his mind.

"Give Gotham some confidence." Alfred felt a little uneasiness from the people around him. Although he didn't know where the uneasiness came from, the old butler still calmed down, "It can last a month without Batman, Gordon The chief will help it."

Then Bruce remembered something: "Alfred, how did you find me?"

"I didn't find you." The old housekeeper replied, "I found you lying under the tulips I took care of in the early morning, in the flower bush next to the fountain, with a suitcase beside you, oh, don't worry too much, I Put the box into the freezer according to the instructions above."

Bruce, who was already half up, lay back down again after hearing the last sentence. Before that, he explained his behavior: "There is the latest medicine developed by the scarecrow in the suitcase, which is why I am so nervous. .”

Afu nodded thoughtfully, and then asked a question that Bruce couldn't answer: "Master, do you know who sent you back?"

Bruce looked back awkwardly.

Not knowing what the old butler read from his expression, he made the following guess: "Aha, I see, is she a charming lady?"

Bruce was even more embarrassed. He shook his head and said, "Don't guess, Alfred, this is just an unimportant matter. The most important thing now is to analyze the scarecrow's potion."

The old butler stared at Bruce for a full two seconds. For the first time, Bruce found that the other party's eyes were so penetrating. In the end, the other party spoke and the topic finally changed. Thank goodness, thank goodness.

"The most important thing now is to recover your body, Master Wayne." Alfred said unquestionably, then turned around and pushed the dining car by the door in, "Today, the preparations for you are relatively simple, including pineapple steak, apple pie and winter solstice pudding. These are great for wound healing."

In fact, Bruce's recovery speed far exceeded the housekeeper's expectation. It took him only two weeks to go to the ground, and neither the clown nor the scarecrow was active during this period.

Ah, no, Bruce learned his lesson very quickly, some things can't be said too early.
