I'm just acting like a pervert, I'm actually a good prisoner

After taking Gordon to the police car, Batman immediately carried the High Priest back to the Batcave.

Nightwing and Red Robin were already lying on the hospital bed, and Alfred was treating them with medical equipment.

Unlike Red Robin, who only suffered skin injuries, Nightwing has not regained consciousness yet, and it is unknown what he suffered during the kidnapping.

"You are back."

Barbara was the first to discover Batman. Seeing that he was holding a person in his hand, she recognized the other person after careful identification.

"This is the boss of that organization. How did you bring him back? Wait! What happened to him?"

Batman cut off communication with Barbara after the battle with the High Priest, so she didn't know what happened later.

Among the people present at this time, in addition to the injured Nightwing and Red Robin, there were only Barbara and Alfred. Catwoman left on her own after saving Red Robin, and did not intend to meet Batman before leaving.

So Batman briefly explained what happened next.

The high priest of the witch organization fell into a coma again after being pulled out of the chemical pool by Batman.

Although his strong physique allowed him to survive even if he fell into the chemical pool, the large amount of energy consumed still made him unable to stay awake.

"Alfred, you treat him first. I have something to ask him after he wakes up."

Batman said to the old butler, and then got a positive reply from the other party.

He walked to the cabinet beside him and took out the super power suppressor inside.

This was a suppressor he developed by himself, which was more effective than Arkham. Batman turned around and put it on the high priest's neck to prevent him from continuing to hurt others after he woke up.

After dealing with this matter, Batman took off his battle suit and changed into daily clothes.

Alfred wanted him to rest first. Because of the chemical plant, Bruce had not slept for nearly three days. He was so tense that even an iron man could not bear it.

"I'm fine. The important thing now is to help me check someone."

Bruce shook his head and walked to the table full of high-tech display screens and operating tables, and entered the information he knew about Xie Qi.

His computer operating table can be connected to the police station's back-end database. As long as the police know something, he can find it here.

Soon, countless data streams passed in front of him, and according to his needs, he extracted the recent incident reports about Xie Qi.

From the location where Xie Qi first appeared in Gotham, to the analysis report of Arkham Asylum on him, and his subsequent bank robbery in Gotham, the purchase of Moore Building, and the speech in front of the police station, all the reports about Xie Qi were displayed in front of him.

Barbara slid to his side in a wheelchair and checked the information with Bruce.

"There are too many mysteries about this person. Do you have any ideas?"

Barbara frowned and read all the information. She found that Bruce had not spoken, so she asked.

"He, like those unidentified people, suddenly appeared in Gotham. No trace of his entry could be found from the train station, airport, or ferry to District 50. But he is different from those people in that he can find his previous identity information, while others cannot find any past information. It seems that he appeared in Gotham."

Bruce said his guess, but it sounded a bit magical to Barbara.

"Is there really nothing to find? Maybe they came from District 50 illegally."

Bruce nodded and rejected Barbara's guess.

"From the records recorded by the police, those people explained their origins differently, but the common point is that they are all very secretive about how they came to Gotham. They either don't say it or tell obvious lies. There must be a more critical secret in it."

At this point, Bruce turned his head to look at the high priest who had not yet woken up, wondering if he could learn the secret from this person.

"So what are your plans for this man? Molly's son seems to listen to him. Did Molly cooperate with him?"

Bruce's relaxed expression tightened when he mentioned Xie Qi.

Thinking of the fact that the other party had threatened him with Gordon's life before, he felt irritated.

"He still lives in the Moore Building opposite the Wayne Building. When you go to work, you may be able to see each other with a telescope."

It was the first time that Barbara saw Batman show this expression, and she joked with some evil taste.

"Barbara."

Bruce's voice was serious.

"Why, what's wrong?"

Barbara thought that what she said just now made him angry, and her green eyes were a little nervous.

"Help me check all the funds Molly has since he became mayorcontacts, as well as the frequency of contact with major companies and the Federation. "

"Oh, okay."

The red-haired woman heard that Bruce didn't want to continue talking about this topic, so she nodded and went to another computer to start operating.

Alfred had already treated the high priest and was waiting for him to wake up.

At this time, he also came to the master and looked at him with some worry.

"Afu, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Bruce smiled, wanting to reassure the old butler who had always been by his side.

But how could Alfred not see the thoughts of the child he had raised since childhood.

"Has the master changed his mind? "

The silver-haired old man's words were ambiguous, and only Bruce knew what he was talking about.

As the heir to the largest group in Gotham, Bruce Wayne, who didn't know about Molly's manipulation of the intelligent brain for profit, would be underestimating his intelligence system.

It's just that whether Molly threatened major companies to make profits or operated the intelligent brain to monitor citizens, he saw it as the pain of urban transformation.

He believed that the intelligent brain itself was not wrong. Under this system, Gotham citizens lived a stable life without being threatened by criminals, and they had unprecedented happiness in Gotham.

And Molly's behavior did not touch his bottom line, so he kept turning a blind eye.

It's just that Xie Qi and Edward's appearance made him begin to doubt Molly's intentions.

If he just wanted profit and power, Bruce could understand.

But if he wanted to control the minds of Gotham citizens to control votes and use it as his own political capital...

Thinking of this, Bruce remembered what the man had said to him.

'...You are too divided. If you don't seek change, you will soon embark on a path of self-destruction...'

The regretful voice echoed in his mind.

Bruce came back to his senses and frowned hard.

Why did he remember what the man said again? This is not like him.

No matter what, he will stick to his own path and will not be shaken by anything.
