Chapter 228 Old Bat
Batman.
A key character that the DC world cannot avoid.
Like Superman, he is the pillar of DC, supporting the existence of the entire DC world. It is no exaggeration to say that it is because he and Superman are still alive that the DC universe can exist here.
But in fact, Kevin doesn't want to meet Batman.
Don't think that he is just an ordinary person, an ordinary person without any superpowers, but he is more threatening than any superpowered person Kevin has ever seen.
Plans emerge in endlessly, one after another, as long as you are prepared, even Superman can kill you!
Never make an appointment with Batman, this is the consensus of almost all DC fans.
If possible, Kevin doesn't even want Batman to know that he has been to this world.
Otherwise, God knows what plan this guy will use to deal with him when he comes back next time.
After all, this is a ruthless character who even wrote a clear plan to deal with himself.
But there is no way, in order to determine whether this world is as he wants, Kevin needs Batman's help.
Moreover, it would be a bit regrettable if he didn't visit Batman and check in at Wayne Manor when he came to the DC world.
When he thought of this, he couldn't help but complain about the location that the skill tree teleported him to again.
If it wasn't in the deep sea, the things he brought wouldn't have turned into a pile of waste due to the pressure of the sea water.
If it didn't turn into a pile of waste, Kevin could handle everything by himself with the hacking device given by Rocket, without asking Batman for help.
In short, after more than a day of rushing.
Kevin brought Mera to Gotham and found Batman's home, Wayne Manor.
By the way, Kevin found that the public security here was surprisingly good after arriving in Gotham City!
After asking around, Kevin learned that Gotham in this world has been rated as the safest city for ten consecutive years.
This made Kevin think that he had come to the wrong world.
Gotham? The safest city?
Even the Joker wouldn't make such a joke.
But the fact is that Gotham's public security is indeed very good, so good that people want to settle here forever.
In fact, when he got here, Kevin had basically determined what kind of world this world was.
But... Kevin still wanted to confirm it one last time.
So, he and Mera were standing in front of Wayne Manor.
"I didn't know... the nobles of the land people... all liked to live in this type of building..."
Mera, who followed Kevin to Wayne Manor, pointed to the 'castle manor' in front of her, which was no different from the scene of a horror movie, and said with a strange expression.
"No, it's just that no one has taken care of it for a long time."
Kevin also sighed as he looked at the building covered with vines and exuding a gloomy atmosphere.
Kevin is now certain that this is the Flashpoint world in the movie "Flashpoint", where Bruce Wayne is completely retired.
The group didn't care about it, and even didn't hire anyone to clean up the manor.
This means that in this world, the butler Alfred should have passed away, otherwise he, who always pays attention to elegance, would not allow his young master to live so sloppily.
Kevin stood in front of the manor and hesitated. Mera saw this and asked:
"Do we still need to go in?"
"Of course."
Kevin answered decisively.
Anyway, the same thing... I'm here now.
Entering the manor, Kevin first used deep-sea perception to sense.
After the deep-sea perception was upgraded to level 4, it can also sense long distances on land. To some extent, it is similar to Daredevil's super sense.
Even more detailed than that.
With deep-sea perception, Kevin found Bruce Wayne without much effort.
He was lying on the sofa drinking and watching TV, and he didn't realize that someone had come in from outside.
Gotham became peaceful, and the villains who had been against Batman were almost killed by this Batman one by one. Bruce Wayne is no longer Batman now, and has lost his past vigilance, and did not notice Kevin entering the manor.
But he is still Batman after all. Although he didn't know Kevin was coming at first, when Kevin pushed open the door of the castle, the sound of the door opening still made Bruce look up suddenly.
In Kevin's perception, Bruce's ears moved, and he looked at the door with a serious expression.
Then he immediately put down the bottle and quietly found a place to hide.
Kevin saw this and immediately said:
"Bruce Wayne, no need to hide, I can see you."
"!"
Bruce, who was about to take action, froze and turned his head to look around.
Kevin continued:
"No need to look, there is no surveillance equipment, I saw you with my superpowers, what do you think? Even so, do you still plan to hide?"
After Kevin finished speaking, Bruce's mouth twitched, and the beard on his face twitched with his movements.
But he really didn't think of hiding again. He turned around and sat on the sofa, picked up the bottle of wine on the table, and drank it by himself as if he had given up.
Kevin raised his eyebrows and took Mera through the corridor outside to the hall where Bruce was.
As soon as he opened the door and saw Bruce inside, Kevin heard the man on the sofa say:
"I don't know who you are and what you are looking for me for, but I am sure you must have found the wrong person. I can't help you at all."
"..."
Walking into the room, Kevin looked at the old bat with gray hair and a full beard inside, and couldn't help but be silent.
The Batman of the Flashpoint world is old. He may have lost his former ambitions. Now he is just an old man who drinks and waits for death every day.
Maybe he really can't help Kevin.
And Kevin has actually achieved his goal. Seeing the old bat, he completely confirmed that this is the flashpoint of the movie universe and the parallel world of the movie universe.
In this case, the trident will still stay in its original position, and he and Mera can turn around and leave to find the trident in the Trench Country.
But looking at the old Bat, Kevin was not as anxious as before.
Anyway, he still had a lot of time in this world. He finally met Batman, so he had to talk to him.
Kevin walked to the old Bat and sat down. He picked up the wine on the table and looked at it. He poured himself a glass very familiarly, and then said:
"That's not necessarily true. You may really be able to help me. At least... you can provide me with a boat."
"Okay, kid."
Bruce was speechless when he saw Kevin's familiar look. He sat up straight and said to Kevin seriously:
"Do you think that facing one... two strangers who broke into my house, I could give you a boat unconditionally? Do you think I'm doing charity?"
"Bruce Wayne is certainly not so kind-hearted, but Batman may not be, right? Batman."
"...Who are you?"
After hearing Kevin's identity, Bruce did not deny it, but began to ask Kevin about his origins.
Kevin smiled slightly: "That's exactly what I want to say."
...
More than ten minutes later.
"You mean, you are the Atlanteans, because your king wants to lead the underwater tribe to conquer the land, and you want to stop this, so you want me to help you and send you to the territory of the trench tribe to find the legendary trident?"
After a little effort to sort out Kevin's words, Bruce looked disdainful:
"This story is well told, but unfortunately... I don't believe it."
"The princess of the Kingdom of Zebel is standing next to you now..."
"No, no, no, I'm not saying I don't believe in Atlantis, I just don't believe you, and the reason you came to me is not this at all."
Bruce said solemnly.
Bruce is old, but not stupid, and he can certainly tell the truth from the falsehood in Kevin's words.
What Kevin said about Atlantis and the possibility that the king of Atlantis might launch a war on land may be true.
But the authenticity of Kevin's request to ask Bruce for help is questionable.
After all, according to what they said, Atlantis' underwater technology is not low. If they really want to go to the Trench Kingdom, they have plenty of ways to go there.
There is no need to go to land to find Bruce.
"Okay..." Seeing that lies can't fool Bruce, Kevin decided to be sincere: "I'll tell you the truth. I'm here to see you. As a living Batman, I have to come and see you anyway."
"..."
Bruce was completely stunned.
He could see that Kevin's words were true, but because of this, he couldn't understand Kevin's purpose.
He finally came to land just to see the living Batman?
When did his Batman fans expand to the bottom of the sea? ?
Just as Batman frowned and thought, Kevin's voice came again:
"And... I want to use your hacker system to find something. After all, there are not many hacker systems in the world that can easily hack into the White House."
"What do you want to find?"
"All the records of UFOs that flew into the surface from outside the earth in the past thirty years... No, in the past fifty years, I want to find an... alien."
Kevin said seriously.
Finding the trident is Kevin's main task, but Kevin thinks it's better to do some side tasks that can gain skill points.
The "kidnapping" of Mera from the sea allowed Kevin to gain several skill points.
It is enough to prove that Kevin will also gain skill points if he does something that affects the development of the plot in the Flashpoint world.
In this case, Kevin is not in a hurry to find the trident.
He plans to do as he did in the dungeon world before, to get in touch with more plot characters and get some skill points from them.
Kevin can't lose money after coming here.
After all, the Flashpoint world is unstable. When the Flash changes the timeline back in the future, who knows whether the Flashpoint world can still exist.
If Kevin can't return to the DC universe of Flashpoint, or even can't return to the DC universe, then he won't lose a lot if he doesn't get any skill points.
And if you want to change the plot, except that the Flash's mother can't be moved, nothing else is more important than saving Supergirl and preventing Zod from coming. .
The first thing Kevin has to do now is to find out where Supergirl is. After getting the trident, he will rescue Supergirl in advance, and then go back to the bottom of the sea to see if there are any skill points to be salvaged.
Finally, he will return to land, wait for Zod to come, and take Supergirl and the two Flashes who will appear in Meraja later to kill General Zod here.
The plan is perfect.
But this first step needs the help of Batman.
Kevin stated his purpose, and Bruce and Kevin looked at each other for a long time.
Finally, he sat up and leaned back, picked up the bottle again, and poured himself a glass of wine.
"Whatever you want to do, it's up to you, just don't destroy my home."
He seemed to no longer stop Kevin from doing something, even though he didn't know Kevin's identity at all.
Kevin smiled slightly and responded:
"No, just check some things."
It's really just checking some things. After all, Kevin doesn't want to mess with DC's own son.
God knows what the will of the DC world will do to Kevin after provoking Batman.
