Gotham, Wayne Manor underground, Bat Cave.
Although the bat cave in the film and television works is shocking enough, Jay couldn't help but marvel when he came here in person. The boundless darkness enveloped this huge cave. The number of Pterodactyl mammals living in the darkness seemed to be endless, staring at every visitor who passed the gate with full alertness.
Apart from the high-tech bat wings, chariots and submarines that should of course be parked in the caves, Jay also found the classic furnishings in the comic bat caves, such as the metal with several people standing in the caverns. Coins, the huge Joker playing card behind a layer of glass, and the huge dinosaur of equal proportions. Each item hides a rich and wonderful adventure story, and the whole place is like a museum that silently tells the legend of Batman.
Bruce took off his shirt and sat under the operating lights for Alfred to repair his shocking wounds. Jay and Kara, who had sent him back here, just stood aside and watched as if they felt pain for him, but he himself was expressionless, as if the person being sutured was not himself.
"At least you come back here alive and let me fix it." Alfred cut the stitches on Bruce's shoulder with scissors. "This should work for a while, although I conservatively estimate it will crack within 24 hours. ."
He took the tool box and moved to Bruce's other side. Cara looked at Batman's wounds, her long eyelashes drooping unconsciously: "Clark... Rao is on top, how could he do this? do?"
Jay sighed lightly and patted her on the shoulder for comfort. Bruce frowned and said, "No, that's not Clark."
Both of them cast surprised glances at him.
"I know Clark Kent, he is a good guy in his bones." Bruce said musingly, "No matter how similar that guy looks, he is not Clark."
"But he has Clark's memory," Kara said. "He remembers me and he remembers you."
"Memory can be implanted, forged...Some people may even be able to make a fake Superman." Bruce frowned and said, "And I may happen to have a suspect."
Late at night, the Strait of the Philippines.
The abnormal storm has lasted for a whole week in this sea area, and it is only today that the momentum has finally weakened a little. According to meteorologists, this may be an abnormal storm enough to be recorded in history. If a new Superman arrives in time for disaster relief, the casualties may be countless.
A dark warship drove fearlessly into this manic sea with the wind and waves. This may be the first ship to break into this restricted area since the wind and waves broke out. Although the current wind has weakened to a standard that is barely navigable, no ship dared to come here to take risks. They would rather detour to avoid this restricted area.
Helena Wayne put on her diving attire, carefully checked the oxygen equipment and lifeline on the diving suit, and was quickly ready for groundwater. Then she turned to look at her partner Sisko Ramon, the newcomer code-named "Shock", who was still reviewing the use of every equipment in the diving suit she was wearing like a textbook. She couldn't help but Fu'e sighed slightly, and began to worry about the feasibility of this mission.
Why does the headquarters have to send her a rookie partner to perform this task? She felt that she might as well go into the water alone, maybe she would be more sure.
The rainstorm was pouring outside the window, and a wave of waves hit the ship of the warship like a heavy hammer. The violent turbulence seemed as if the whole world was shaking. Sisko, who was trying to remember the use of his equipment, staggered and hurriedly supported the wall to stabilize, his face pale: "I already hate this mission. Why do we have to get into the water in this ghostly weather?"
"This is the best weather we can wait. The heavy rain has not abated, and warships can't even sail into this sea." The voice of their boss, Amanda Waller, came from the communicator in the ears of the two. It came from inside, "Check the line, are there any problems?"
"No." Helena and Sisko replied in turn.
"Remember, you only have three hours of oxygen storage, always pay attention to your oxygen meter." Waller said coldly, "If the sea weather changes suddenly again, we will immediately bring you back with a lifeline. And if In case of an unexpected situation and unable to return in time, the captain is only obliged to wait for you for three minutes.
"understand."
"Very well, then good luck to you, agents."
"It means we might belch down here." Sisko muttered a last word before entering the water, "This really boosts morale."
Both of them jumped from the deck into the rolling waves, and for a moment they left the storm on the water far behind them.
The visibility under water is very limited. Looking at the front, back, left, and right, there are dark water bodies. Even the strong searchlights on their helmets have very limited effects. Helena led the dive ahead, Sisko muttered all the way, making her wonder if this partner really passed the diving test.
They soon came to the bottom of the water. The soles of their feet lightly stepped on the rocks. The golden glow of the searchlight illuminates a few unnamed seaweeds, swinging leisurely beside their flippers. While Sisko was still adjusting the balance, Helena had activated the sonar built into the helmet and explored their underwater environment with the help of sound waves.
The purpose of their trip was to find the huge energy source that caused this abnormal storm. The location of the target had been inferred by the organization's experts long before they dived. At this time, it was marked on Helena's helmet. The sonar map on the monitor. She followed the direction of the sign, and the two of them were led to a huge sea rock in a short while.
After confirming that she was in the target coordinate position, Helena took out the scanner and started scanning directly below. After ten seconds, the scanner returned the result, and the words "No abnormal reading" popped up on the anti-stress electronic screen.
Helena frowned: "Are you sure that the position is not wrong? The instrument can't read any abnormal data. There is nothing special here, let alone super energy."
"The coordinates are confirmed, Huntress, there is no error." Waller ordered directly through their communicator, "Let Zhenbo do his job."
Helena glanced strangely at this new partner who had been underestimated by her, wanting to see what his special skills were. Sisko seemed to take a deep breath of oxygen under his diving helmet, then leaned over and squatted onto the boulder, stretched out his right hand and pressed it against the surface of the boulder, closing his eyes lightly.
In an instant, time and space quickly twisted in Sisko's consciousness, and every atom floating in the sea seemed to respond to his call, sending him a huge amount of information with its own vibration. A picture of the deep sea quickly formed in his brain like a projection. His consciousness was like a snake following the trajectory of atoms to the huge rock on which they were standing, and saw something different from reality.
"What did you see, Shockwave?" Waller asked in the communication line.
"I... saw some kind of cylinder." Sisko still closed his eyes, but his eyebrows were twisted unconsciously.
"Cylinder?"
"Yes, the cylinder." Sisko confirmed, "but it... is very special. It has unprecedented energy, and the particles it releases... seem to interfere with time and The composition of the space affects my ability."
Helena looked at the kid in surprise, and she seemed to finally understand why the boss insisted on sending him to participate in the dive. What is this ability? Should you be inspired? Can he see what has happened and the picture of the past?
But she also understood that this was a critical juncture, so she didn't bother. Waller continued to ask, "Where is that thing? Is it still there?"
"No, it's gone." Sisko said, his eyebrows tightened tighter, "Oh my God, the interference is too strong, that thing...it's too powerful, it prevents me from feeling. .....Wait."
When he said this, he suddenly stopped, his face became extremely ugly.
"What's the matter?" Even Helena couldn't help but ask.
"Something else is under our feet," Sisko said with an ugly expression, "coming out!"
Almost the moment his voice fell, the huge crack silently climbed onto the rock on which their feet were standing. The sand and dust on the bottom of the sea rose violently, and the turbid bubbles rose under the beam of the searchlight. The water pressure on the two of them suddenly changed suddenly, and tons of seawater fell over their heads.
