Daylight in Gotham City is bad enough, and the robberies and thefts in broad daylight make it hard to like this place.But compared to Gotham at night, everything that happens during the day is just like an appetizer for a crime feast, and it doesn't deserve more attention at all.However, compared to the insecure night of the past, the citizens of Gotham City have not been so afraid of the dark in the past year or so.Because in this dark night that originally belonged to the criminals, they also have their own helpers, or protectors.I don't know when a legend about Batman began to spread in the city.It's like those bizarre urban legends, full of exaggeration and horror.The protagonist of this legend is a man dressed as a black bat who acts chivalrous in the city at night, and is said to have no emotion to break the hands and feet of any criminal he encounters and throw him into a police prison.It is said that he comes and goes invisible, like a ghost in the night, but this ghost does not harm ordinary people, he only targets the damned criminals.Every night, bats soar through the sky, and the criminals are terrified when they see him.Although anyone with a brain knows that Batman, no matter how powerful he is, it is impossible for him to appear in every corner of the city at the same time.He can also arrest 10 people in one night, but there are 990 other criminals who can go about their business unharmed.But the problem is that no one wants to be one of those 10 people, so every one of the 1,000 criminals will be afraid of the night.That's what Batman is for.Beneath that exaggerated suit lies a wise soul who knows that he can't end evil on his own, so he turns himself into the embodiment of fear...
He's thinking twice before deterring criminals into doing bad things.He wants to turn himself into a symbol.But there is also a worse point in this legend.Not everyone likes to have a big bat flying back and forth in their city.The reason is simple.In Gotham, the distinction between civilians and criminals is not so obvious."
Bang" on the dock under the dark night, accompanied by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground, a gangster who was on guard was kicked off the steel support, he fell to the ground, probably broke a few bones, the pain and fear made him scream, this cry made the gangsters who were trading in the dock warehouse immediately vigilant.Of course, there are a few cowards who turn around and run.They knew that a fearsome predatory bat had its eye on them."
He's there!""
Shoot!
Kill him!
”At the moment when a dark shadow flashed through the light, the vigilant thugs immediately let out a noisy scream, and the next moment, a piercing gunshot rang out in the darkness, like a little fire, illuminating the night of this pier.But their marksmanship was so poor, or rather, they couldn't find their target at all.Shooting blindly in fear will do nothing but expose their position and the weakness of their hearts.In the darkness of the container, a black-clad hideout, like a cat, silently approached the terrified thugs from behind, and the next moment, like a predatory panther, he sprang up from the darkness and slammed a vicious punch into the back of a thug's neck, knocking him to the ground."
Bang" The lights in this area went out almost at the same time.Accompanied by several panicked screams, there was the sound of a downed man smashing to the ground.Like a hunt in the night, the last vestiges of confidence were shattered by this sudden attack, and they howled and fled, trying to escape their tragic fate.But can't...
One mob after another was knocked to the ground with all sorts of weapons, throwing knives, electric stunners, and fists, and in a matter of minutes, the noisy dock was calm again.And the predator who hid in the darkness, the vigilante in a black suit and cloak, also after completing a battle, prepared to turn away silently as he came.But in the corner he didn't notice, a thug who was still moving, with a hideous face, grabbed a pistol from the ground, aimed it at his back and pulled the trigger.The sound of a "bang" bullet made the bat-like man subconsciously turn his head, he was not worried that the bullet would kill him.His suit was made of high-tech materials, and at such a distance a pistol bullet could not penetrate the armor.But just as the man with the pointed ears of the bat helmet turned around, he saw a strange scene.The flying bullet was hovering less than 3 inches behind him.The bullet, which carries a huge amount of kinetic energy, is still spinning rapidly, but it is like being blocked by an invisible wall, and it cannot move forward in the slightest.And the attacker, also in the struggle of terror, was lifted into the air by an invisible force, his neck twisted abnormally, and maybe in the next moment, his neck would be broken by that force."
Nope!
Stop it!
”The bat-like man stretched out his hand and shouted, "Don't kill..."
There was a crisp "click", and before he could finish his words, the thug's neck was twisted into a strange 90 degrees, and in his frightened eyes, the signs of life quickly dissipated at this moment."
Bang" The corpse with the gun still in hand smashed to the ground, and at the same time, Batman saw the man sitting on the edge of the container, as if watching a good show.He was wearing a very retro dress.The blue, tuxedo-like appearance, with black gloves in his hands, breeches and boots, and white lace trim on the cuffs of the gown, made him look like he had stepped out of the 18th century.On his face, a half-covered visor shone with a pale blue glow obscured his face."
Batman?"
Sitting on the container, Merlin, with his legs crossed, looked at the figure in the darkness below, and he inexplicably felt that this guy was somewhat familiar.In a voice altered by Carol's breathing mask, he said, "I have something to ask you. ”"Who are you?"
Batman was very vigilant in the face of this sudden appearance, his left hand hanging by his side, and his right hand holding the flying claw gun at his waist.He's ready to get out of here at any moment, this guy dressed like an old ghost in front of him is a fierce rival, and if he is not sure, Batman will not rush up to him recklessly.That's not his fighting style."
I'm a man who tracks down the truth."
Merlin jumped off the container lightly, he stood almost 15 meters away from Batman, he stared at the man covered by a long cloak, and said, "What happened in that building northeast of Ridney Island at 1 o'clock in the evening on July 16 last year?"
”"I know."
Batman said in a deep voice, "But I won't tell you." ”"It's up to you!"
Merlin's figure flashed, and almost instantaneously appeared in front of Batman's eyes, and the power seed from the Majin Anthony contained a rapid power, which allowed Merlin to move at a speed close to the speed of sound.In the eyes of ordinary people, that is simply a speed that cannot be captured.But Merlin's outstretched hand scratched the air...
The moment he swooped in, something that Batman was holding in his hand fell to the ground, and the white, thick smoke rushed up almost instantly, engulfing everything around him.Batman himself, on the other hand, took advantage of the ejection of the Forcery Clan's claw gun to dodge Merlin's hand that was about to clasp his neck.While flying backwards, three black devices like small balls were thrown at Merlin's feet, and in the white smoke, the three small balls activated at the same time, bursting out from three directions with a strong shock wave, pressing Merlin's body back and taking a step back.This buys Batman time to get out of it.He didn't waste a second, he wandered around the city like a nimble monkey with a claw gun, and in just a few minutes, he disappeared into the dark neighborhood.But...
Did he really dump him?"
Woohoo" just when Batman stopped on the top of a tall building, ready to catch his breath, accompanied by a sharp and ugly hiss, a black raven fell from the sky, and at the moment of approaching Batman, Merlin's figure flipped out from the raven's body, grabbed Batman's shoulder, and then used a crisp back fall, slamming him hard at his feet."
You're several times faster than you were a few years ago."
Merlin rode on top of Batman and crushed him to the ground, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he said, "But it's still a little bit close...""
Let go!"
Batman smashed his fist at Merlin, and Merlin's figure quickly turned into mist at this moment, and reappeared a few meters away, but this time, he didn't attack Batman again.In such close contact, the dark perception had already told him the identity of the guy in front of him."
Huh" The half-covered visor on Merlin's face was withdrawn at this moment, he reached out and took off his glasses, revealing those dark red ember eyes, he spread his hands and said to Batman who got up from the ground in front of him, "It's been a long time...""
Bruce.""
You—" Batman froze for a moment when he saw the familiar face in the darkness, and after a moment, he reached out and took off his helmet.He shook his hair as the night wind shook his long cloak, a smile appeared on his grim face, and then he said to Merlin, "Long time no see, Merlin." ”—————————————————— "You should have contacted me in advance, I mean, maybe it would be better to play in a different way." ”Ten minutes later, in the outskirts of Gotham City, in the palace-like Wayne Manor, Bruce, who had changed his clothes, rubbed himself with the trauma potion, and said to Merlin, who was sitting in front of him: "Instead of dressing up like a villain, he is so reckless to intervene in my work." ”"If I had known it was you, I would have ordered a meal in advance and sent you an invitation."
Merlin waved his hand, and he turned to look at the bat-like pointed-eared helmet on the table, and said, "But who would have known that my friend would dress himself up as a nocturnal creature after years of not seeing him...
Well, I have to say that the very expressive costume, which suddenly appeared in the dark night with a murderous aura, was indeed enough to make those criminals frightened. ”He looked at Bruce's pained face, he shook his head, drew his wand, and threw a healing charm on Bruce, he said, "So, are you a vigilante now?"
”"I remember that at the time of separation, you told me that you were going to find a way to save the city, but now it seems that you chose the toughest one.Hear me out, Bruce, you can't solve the problem alone. ”"But at least it will solve the people who are causing the problem."
Bruce looked at the dark red wand in Merlin's hand with a little surprise, he felt the pain in his back quickly dissipate in a burst of soreness, he raised his head, moved his shoulders, and said to Merlin, "You shouldn't have killed that man...
Killing him won't solve the problem. ”"I know."
Merlin shrugged, "But you have to understand, Bruce, my job is to keep order, and I've learned a lot from some of the previous experiences, I mean, a lot of times, cutting the grass and rooting is the best option, it can reduce a lot of trouble. ”"Your job?"
Bruce looked at Merlin and asked, "Alfred told me what happened to you in '92, but since then, he has tried to gather information about you, but he has been greatly hindered, like someone has erased all traces of you...
So I'm curious, Merlin, what the hell do you do?
”"Agent."
Merlin took out his ID from his pocket and put it in front of Bruce's eyes: "The Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau, the Supreme Commander of the Occult Affairs Defense Observation and Logistics Department...
Bruce, I'm a big guy now. ”"Oh, S.H.I.E.L.D."
Bruce looked at the badge and nodded knowingly, "I've heard some things about you, and if you're working there, then I can understand that."
Your way of doing things has always been very...

Well, roughly. ”"It's true, but my visit to Gotham this time has nothing to do with S.H.I.E.L.D."
Merlin said frankly to his friends, "Some of my family...
Misfortune has been, so, as I just said, I'm here for the truth, and you can help me, Bruce.I know you were there that night, and I need you to tell me everything, why the Batmen came to Gotham, and the agents who intervened...
Including that Amanda.
Waller. ”"Everything I need to know!"
In the face of Merlin's request, Bruce nodded, he put on a pajamas, and said, "Ah Fu has prepared a supper for us, you go to the restaurant and wait for a while, I'll take a shower, and then we will talk while eating." ”"It's fine."
Merlin also stood up, and he smiled at Bruce, "Ah Fu saved my life in the first place, and I haven't thanked him properly." ”()
