The Death Knell

Su Ming grabbed Gordon and arrived at Wayne Mansion, which was located on the outskirts of the city and the terrain was pretty good.

The surrounding hills and mountain streams delayed time enough, and Bruce took enough protective measures to completely isolate the building from the sea.

He installed a set of energy shields that were only available in the Hall of Justice for his own home.

Isn’t it just spending money?

Go directly to the best one. If it weren't for the lack of time, he could even install such a protection system for every building in Gotham.

However, this protective shield could not stop Deathstroke. He quickly burned a hole in the top with a fireball, and before it could fuse again, he flew in with the director.

Su Ming left Director Gordon on the balcony of the third floor and went to the room to look for Alfred.

When we found him, the housekeeper was still preparing breakfast in the kitchen in a graceful manner.

Although the young master may not come back, breakfast must be ready at any time, and newspapers must be ironed before the young master can handle them.

Orange juice, toast, pan-fried bacon, soft-boiled omelette, nothing can be overlooked.

It's just that today's newspaper was delivered a little late, and it's not here yet?

The butler turned around and found Deathstroke standing at the door of the kitchen.

"Well, you're not a newsboy."

Su Ming: "???"

Alfred straightened his suit and continued to make breakfast. He had already learned a lot of things from Batman, such as the existence of Deathstroke in another world.

So he was not surprised to see such a person appearing in the mansion.

It took Commissioner Gordon a minute to catch up. He was worried that Deathstroke would be harmful to the butler, but when he found the two of them, he found that Deathstroke was eating breakfast.

"ha?"

Originally, Gordon had taken a sword from the decorative armor in the corridor, but seeing the current scene, he subconsciously put the sword down.

"The toast is nice, no bat taste."

Deathstroke commented while eating.

It's still early before the flood floods Wayne Tower. Let alone eating breakfast, it doesn't matter if he sleeps here for a while. Let Harley and Ivy wait a little longer.

The butler stood at the table with his hands behind his back, a fruit platter in his other hand, and a towel on his arm, talking to Deathstroke with a smile.

"If you are talking about the young master's personal hobbies, then he obviously has no involvement in the family's diet."

"Ha, you exposed one of his weaknesses to me, he can't cook." Su Ming nodded with a smile and started eating fried eggs.

"Actually, as his butler, I would rather my young master know nothing, at least not like today." Alfred put away his smile and bowed slightly.

Su Ming sighed. As an elder, Ah Fu naturally didn't want to see Bruce turn into a Batman. It was best to live peacefully.

It is best to live like other rich young men and not shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the earth.

But the world still needs Batman, and the old butler's wish is just talk. The old man is only proud of Bruce now.

Su Ming ate Bruce's breakfast. Batman would definitely not have time to come back anyway, so don't waste food.

If the flood does not subside, this may be the last egg on earth.

The old housekeeper actually saw what was going on outside. He was just cooking out of habit.

But reality is reality and he gave breakfast to those in need.

But if he had known that the housekeeper had heard of him, Su Ming wouldn't have had to bring Gordon as a witness and hostage.

Forget it, just do good deeds casually, at least this is a safe place, and even if Gordon wants to go out and continue to die, it depends on whether Alfred agrees.

If nothing else, even if the butler lets the director use his hands and feet, Gordon may not be the old butler's opponent.

But this is not the right place to bring Harley and Ivy, crazy women are unpredictable.

"You...what are you doing?" Gordon dragged his sword and approached the dining table. He looked at Deathstroke, who looked particularly young, and then at the old butler with a peaceful face.

Su Ming chewed food: "It seems Batman didn't tell you that there are two death knells in the world now? As you can see, I am eating."

In view of the current situation of the world, Su Ming believes that the original old Slade of this world should also be thinking of ways to save the world.

"Mr. Wilson, please swallow your food before you speak. This is very unseemly."

The old key immediately seized the opportunity to preach to him, and Su Ming suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

Gordon knows Batman's true identity, but there are still many things that Batman won't tell him.

But it seems that this Deathstroke is an ally of the Justice League?

"You shouldn't have brought me here. The city is being flooded and the citizens still need me." He put the sword on the table, supported the table with both hands, and leaned forward, as if to negotiate with the death knell.

The old butler put down the fruit plate in his hand and confiscated the sword.

Su Ming raised his finger to signal a pause until he swallowed what was in his mouth and took a few sips of orange juice.

"To correct you, it is true that citizens need rescue, but they do not need you. In my opinion, as an ordinary person, you are also a person in need of rescue."

Gordon was speechless, and then he remembered that the two of them had flown over just now.

"I've seen it before. There are now the Bat Family, the Birds of Prey, and several third-line heroes who are here to help. Even the super criminals from Arkham have launched a self-rescue. At this time, the best thing for ordinary people to do is The choice is not to cause trouble."

Under the gaze of the old butler, Su Ming put down the palm he was preparing to wipe his mouth with, picked up the napkin and wiped it gracefully, and then the old butler smiled.

He stood up and put his helmet back on: "Afu, am I right?"

The butler nodded and quickly cleared the table: "A very sensible choice."

"That's great. I would like to borrow your communication equipment to contact the Hall of Justice. Can you keep an eye on Director Gordon and prevent him from running around?"

Su Ming pointed to the still confused police chief.

Anyway, no matter what the other party thinks, he plans to leave Gordon here.

The butler naturally agreed. Commissioner Gordon was his young master’s friend, Barbara’s father, and the most upright police officer in the city.

Now, in order to protect his safety, the only option is to temporarily place him under house arrest.

After that, Afu arranged a safe house for Gordon, which was a luxuriously decorated windowless room, and locked the door with his fingerprint.

"The wooden door is covered with promethium metal. It is safe both inside and outside. Please follow me now."

He took Su Ming to the underground Bat Cave. At this time, due to flooding, the driving tunnel leading outside had been closed.

The butler skillfully used the computer to contact Batman.

"Afu, now is not the time." Batman's face appeared on the screen. He was very busy. The other monitors around him showed various tragic situations around the world.

"Master, I don't want you to go home for dinner, but you have friends who need to contact you."

"I've seen it." Batman turned his head to other screens and directed the local heroes to take backup plans for rescue: "But Deathstroke must have his own plan, and it wouldn't be a good thing for him to find me... He is the right one." Alliance allies, not my friends."

The old butler didn’t listen to him. Bruce’s argument was completely invalid for him: “Yes, Master, you think you don’t need friends, but many people think they are your friends. You have to stand by the other party’s side.” See things from perspective so as not to hurt others.”

"Deathstroke, don't hide behind my butler." Batman's mouth twitched. He avoided the butler's words and spoke directly to Su Ming: "What do you want?"

"I want to borrow your spaceship, the one you and Cyborg built for Zhenglian. It has eight seats and a bathroom. I know you must have a backup." Su Ming was naturally not polite.

"There is an alien fleet that has blocked the earth's orbit and caused a global flood. The total number of the opponent's warships is more than 100,000. I don't think it is a good choice for you to go to the universe." Batman refused in disguise.

Su Ming touched his chin. It turned out to be an alien invasion. Has the sky been blocked...

"Hundred Thousand Spaceships, didn't you let Superman try it? It would be easy to shoot some down."

"The enemy has a special technology that now forms a dense energy fence structure, trapping everything that tries to escape the atmosphere on the earth. The same goes for Superman... And our first problem is to rescue the masses and stop them. against rising sea levels."

Batman said he tried.

Of course he had a way to send Superman off the earth, but as the sea water continued to rise, Batman chose to arrange for rescuers first.

I don’t know if the process of turning into a fish can be reversed, but if a civilian mutates every time now, he will have one more enemy in the future.

In addition, superheroes also need food and water, which cannot be separated from the contributions of ordinary people. If we save more civilians now, we can last longer if we need to fight a protracted war in the future.

"Well, if you are willing to give me a spaceship to play with and let me take a few friends to the sky, I can consider boarding the alien warship to help you explore the way. If there is a chance, I can kill all the enemy leaders. "

Su Ming was not interested in saving people, but it would be nice to go to space and kill some aliens.

What energy isolation zone? Can it block x metal?

Batman narrowed his eyes, thinking that even if he no longer wanted to hire Deathstroke, he must agree to this deal.

Every time Deathstroke shows up, it's like he's forced to make a deal, and it feels terrible to be calculated.

But the form is not up to people.

He pressed a series of buttons on the console, and the floor of the Batcave cracked open, and a ship rose from the abyss directly below the hall, a ship of the same style as the Justice League's craft.

It's just that the original one was driven away by Cyborg, and now this one is one of Batman's backup plans.

"The aircraft has been unlocked, and it is yours to use, but it is only a temporary loan." Batman put forward new conditions. The priceless aircraft cannot be given to Deathstroke, but can only be borrowed temporarily.

However, he didn't mention the loan period. It seems that he has realized that Su Ming will not stay in this world for a long time.

"Okay, but if the spaceship doesn't arrive, then we have to talk about the commission." Su Ming didn't care. Anyway, he just needed a ship as a temporary base of operations: "I'm not a teenager who drives the Batship for a ride. Opportunity is no reward to me.”

He himself can physically break through the atmosphere at any time, so what does he need a spacecraft for?

"A deposit of one million."

Batman is so busy, how can he have time to talk about money? Isn’t it just a string of numbers? Whatever!

"Okay, things are not easy to handle this time, but after all, you are also an old customer. Even if you are cheaper, you will make a lot of money." Su Ming turned and walked towards the spacecraft. He wanted to get a little familiar with the operation.

In his memory, he has the skills to fly various airplanes, spaceships...it should be similar...?

Batman glanced at him, then turned to Alfred: "Guard our home."

The butler just nodded slightly, he would do it.

"Batman?" Su Ming seemed to remember something, and he turned around in the dim Batcave.

"explain."

"Don't die before you pay the bill, be careful, something isn't quite right."

Batman operates the keyboard, providing intelligence support and dispatch to heroes around the world. The things he has to consider now take precedence over his own safety.

As for Luther, there is currently no connection between the bald head and this matter.

"I get it, and so do you."

Batman cuts off the communication.
