The three of them did not immediately step out of the darkness, but all fell to the corner of the tunnel and looked towards the place where there was light ahead.In front of it is a cylindrical underground space, relatively spacious, with a lot of wooden scaffolding and some simple lifting tools, it looks less like a sewer repair and more like a well.In the middle of the construction site stood a huge machine, which looked like a drilling rig, and its drill bit was large and deep into the ground, creating a very deep vertical hole.It is powered by a dozen steam engines, and the noise of these things makes the space as noisy as a heavy factory.The person who asked the loud question stood on a wooden platform on the edge of the pit, holding a blueprint in his hand, and looked warily at the tunnel in the other direction.He was not tall, about 1.7 meters tall, and slightly thin, wearing a black tuxedo suit to serve as a night jacket, with a mustache beloved by the gentlemen of this era, and a stabbing sword pinned to his waist, which was his self-defense weapon.Of course, because of his genes, he is also handsome, after all, he is an ancestor, and the contours on his face are somewhat similar to Bruce, but his mental state is better, and he looks sharp.But that's normal, because Bruce Wayne is the outlier in the family, he's the one who doesn't like anyone else in the family."
Oh?
Found me?
Aha."
There was a familiar and unfamiliar laugh in the tunnel on the other side, and when he heard this movement, the corners of Batman's two mouths immediately curved downward, obviously thinking a lot.But with the laughter, the person who came out of the darkness to the edge of the construction site was not a clown, but a well-dressed young man with long shawl hair, who looked at Wayne's ancestor on the high platform with a smile, and said, "Edmund, I'm just a guest who came with you to visit, and see what good you have done."
Oh, behold, what is this digging?
Ancient Indian tombs filled with treasures, or oil found beneath Gotham?
Hee-hee-hee-hee," the young man put his hands on the wooden fence beside him, and tiptoed down to look into the dark abyss below the drill bit.Something seemed to flicker in the darkness below, but it was too deep and too dark to see."
It's none of your business, Jack!
I have nothing to talk about with you, nor your criminal family, so get out of front of me at once!
”Edmund put down the blueprint in his hand and pulled out the bayonet sword at his waist with his backhand, obviously the relationship between the two of them was very tense, and even needed to use weapons.Hearing his request, the young man named Jack reached out and covered his chest, and screamed as if he was hurt, "I just want to be friends with you, why do you want to do this to me?"
You're a businessman, I'm a businessman, we're all smart, shouldn't we have a common language?
Let me play with you, make a lot of money together, I can help you and achieve you" "Shut up!
You shameless pig!
”Edmund was obviously annoyed by the fact that he put the two of them together, and he interrupted the other with a loud shout, even if it was not gentlemanly at all: "I am a spice merchant, and you are a slave seller, so you are worthy of being called a merchant in this kind of business?"
You don't know how many families have been ruined in the East and Africa, you are a robber, a liar, a devil!
I swear by God, as long as I live, the Wayne family will always be at odds with you, and the East India Company behind you!
”"Oh?
Hehehehe, you're angry?
Hahahaha, why is it so serious?
”Jack touched his face, as if Edmund's saliva sprayed on his face from dozens of meters away, but this action was more like wiping evenly: "I admit that what you said is right, but this kind of business, even if we don't do it, some people do it, this is the attribute of human beings themselves, the law of the jungle and the use of the same kind."
Dear Edmund, why can't you get along with money?
I have connections all over the world, you have a super fleet that spans all over the world, and when we make a lot of money together, you will have enough power to change the world."
He made a very sincere deal, and it seemed that he really wanted to play with Edmund, and the business was even simple.Opium was imported from Britain, and the blacks went to Africa to catch it, and they didn't even need to grow and process it."
Don't think about it, your pestering also makes me feel bored, especially since you keep harassing my family and friends."
Edmund jumped off the platform from a high place, he took off his gloves and threw them at the young man: "Get out your weapons, let's solve this problem." ”Seeing this, Deadpool, who was hiding in the darkness not far away, nodded again and again, and he also stretched out a thumbs up, and whispered to Batman: "Cool, your ancestor is actually a murderer, the last time I saw a heads-up duel, I was still looking at the cowboy and the revolver, that is boring, people die too quickly, or cold weapons are better, but I am not very optimistic about the weapon of the bayonet, the sound when it enters and exits the human body is too astringent, I'm afraid the PG-13 classification can't pass." ”Diana on the side also had a strange expression, she looked at the bat and said, "So this incident also happened in history?"
How do I feel about that man named Jack, kind of like."
It's a bit like a clown, the guy's smile, voice, and body movements are basically exactly the same as the clown, the difference is that he doesn't wear makeup, and his hair is not green.But in this era, the only people in purple coats are estimated to be circus owners.In this regard, the Dark Knight only nodded slightly, this incident did happen in history, and it is the same in many parallel worlds.But this man named Jack is actually nothing, at least according to his own research and investigation, he has no blood connection to the current Joker.So he said in a hoarse voice, "There can be three clowns." ”And then it's gone, and the explanation ends here, and it's none of his business whether Diana and Wade can understand it.And just as the three of them were talking, the Jack also smiled and drew his sword, posed in a sissy gesture like the captain of the same name, and pointed at the orchid and said, "Oh, fencing?"
I like it too, so are you willing to play with me?
So come on, if killing me makes you feel relaxed and happy, why not?
Hehe, even though I don't think that will do you any good, it will only make you remember me forever, hahahaha."
Edmund didn't say much, he stepped forward with his sword, and the two immediately began to fight fiercely.
