As the richest man in Gotham, Bruce Wayne has an unknown part-time job, and this part-time job requires him to master a variety of skills, and at the same time, he also needs to have many fake identities to deal with contingencies.

For example, now that he moved into Arthur Karen's residence, he met a woman unexpectedly. Fortunately, before he came, he changed his three-piece suit and changed into a social animal.He took out a passport from his coat pocket, on which Nico Twain was an investigator.

The woman relaxes a little, and trusts Bruce completely after seeing the diary.

"Thanks to Dr. Tompkins, I knew she would help me." She wiped her tears and introduced herself, "My name is Mary, and I am Arthur's... fiancee."

When she said this, she shyly turned the ring on her hand.

"There were very few people who knew about our relationship, and Dr. Tompkins was probably the only one. My mother and she were schoolmates, and they had a good relationship," said Mary, who was an excellent witness any police officer would have liked, Before Bruce could ask a question, he explained in time: "Arthur... Although he is gentle and kind, he is always anxious. He doesn't like to be noticed, and he even tries to erase himself in the law. So when I pursued him, he I refused without even thinking about it...Even if I agreed to get married, I didn't plan to go through legal procedures."

Mary was a little sad, and continued: "He said he didn't like the sea, but he couldn't help but be attracted to it. He also said that his family believed in evil spirits."

She pronounced the last two words very softly, as if she was afraid of disturbing something.

"The files show he was an orphan."

"That's right, but he has adoptive parents, but he didn't go to register."

Arthur's two-bedroom apartment was searched by the police last night, so it looked messy.Mary straightened a chair and sat down, then took a moment to relax: "He said they are from Massachusetts and have lived in a small fishing village called 'Innsmouth' for generations."

This is in line with the information Bruce has, and even got a more precise location.He memorized the place name of Innsmouth and asked, "Then why did they leave their hometown and come to Gotham?"

"He didn't say anything, and he was still very young at that time." Mary lowered her head, "Arthur's adoptive parents adopted him and moved to Gotham not long after. As you know, outsiders in this city have a hard time. But he said his adoptive parents were very attached to it."

Bruce thought about what makes Gotham so different, um... the folk customs are simple?

"Arthur felt that his adoptive parents were strange and even a little afraid of them, so he wasn't too close to them." Mary pulled a necklace from her collar, "When he was eight years old, his adoptive parents disappeared and left a mouthful of them. Give him the big box, full of these gold ornaments."

The pendant at the bottom of the necklace made Bruce gasp. The winged octopus was exactly the same as the one Dick and the others found in Arthur's deluxe police station.

"If you don't mind, can you let me take a closer look?"

Mary took off the necklace and handed it to him. Unfortunately, despite its unique shape, it was a gold necklace, not a strange material like meteorite.

"A month ago, Arthur received a strange patient. He was not in the hospital, but I came to see him privately, and I happened to be with him at that time." Mary looked around anxiously, "It's right here , Behind you, officer... he is covered in scales, his head is like a crocodile, and he grows very tall."

Oh, it's the killer crocodile.Bruce felt his spine itch, the last time he saw Killer Croc, his back had been broken by Bane.This also caused Bruce to fail to catch the super criminal who was making waves in Gotham in time.

"Arthur asked me to leave and told me not to call the police. He didn't go to the hospital the next day, so I came to see him, and then I saw..." She was breathing quickly, her lips turned white: "Arthur, he was killed by that crocodile man Assimilated! Fish scales grew on his body, and his head became strange—”

This was beyond Bruce's expectations. He gave Mary some time to calm down, and after a while he asked, "Then how did he recover?"

"recover?"

"He went to work in the hospital later, so he must have found a cure, right?"

"Yes... As expected of the police, I guessed it right away." Mary said slowly, "He asked for a few days off, and he was fine when he came back. No one knows where he went, and I only found out about him not long ago. to the bottom of the ocean."

The story actually developed to the fantasy side, Bruce didn't show much surprise, guessing in his heart that Arthur could breathe underwater at that time.

Mary's narration suddenly jumped a lot forward: "A few days ago, another strange patient came."

She described an extremely beautiful woman, combining the wild beauty of oriental classical intellectuals, holding a Chinese folding fan as a symbol in her hand, and her every move is very moving.

Bruce began to consider going to the "China Basin" to inquire about news.

"After the lady left, Arthur's spirit became extremely unstable, and he had to rely on tranquilizers to get better. We bought a lot, but it was not enough. Besides, he and I were just doctors and didn't have much savings. We were determined not to touch the box of gold, so we had to..." Mary's voice was getting lower and lower.

Very good, to continue with what Tompkins said.Ruthless investigator Bruce said: "It seems that Mr. Karen is not the only one who should go to jail."

"I know it's wrong to do this, but Arthur is in too much pain!" Mary could hardly breathe, "During that time, it was really like a nightmare."

Bruce, who enforced the law impartially, looked at her silently.

"Probably felt something, Arthur told me this while he was still sane." Mary finally finished speaking with a long sigh of relief, "The box is with me."

Bruce knew what she wanted, put away the notebook: "I'll investigate this privately."

The haggard woman smiled with relief: "I will give it to you. Thank you, I really have no other choice. I accidentally heard that Tompkins has friendship with the police station, so I had to ask her for help. Arthur, he... really He is a very good person, I don't believe he will kill, you must give him justice!"

Wilbur looked anxiously at the golden gate on Damen Street, cheered himself up and spent a long time mentally building up, and finally made up his mind to go in after going around here four or five times.

China Basin, Gotham's Chinatown.Its residents don't like outsiders very much, especially Wilbur, who can't get along with planting flowers at first sight.

"You, hello..." Wilbur, the social fear patient, was about to choke as soon as he opened his mouth, blushed, and stammered, "I'm here to find Miss Naia, this is, this is..."

"This is" for a long time, the gatekeeper impatiently pulled the name card in his hand, nodded, and let him in.

The decoration inside is very old Shanghai, and all you can see is the luxury and luxury of the ten-mile foreign market in the last century. The person Wilbur is looking for sits on a golden throne and waits for him.

"Dear Will." She called Wilbur affectionately, "Have you thought it through?"

Wilbur was more suffocated, and replied in a small voice: "I want to know who I am."

"Poor Will, alone and helpless, but he is greater than the 'God on Earth'." Naia hooked the folding fan with jade-like fingers and twirled it deftly.

Wilbur comes from a metropolis across the water, and like most metropolitans, he has a fanatical admiration for Superman.He parted his lips, but he couldn't say anything because he was too happy.

Naia held the folding fan, and said "How could Yog have such a disgraceful son" under the black satin cover, and immediately said with a smile: "O omniscient and omnipotent God of truth, please guide your son on your journey! "

Wilbur's joy was extinguished by the girl's second grade, and he hesitated again: "But, but..."

"But Arkham Asylum is so dangerous! I heard that all the prisoners there are vicious murderers," he said aggrievedly, "and they also have guard dogs. I am most afraid of dogs."

Crouching Chaos, God of Thousand Faces, Original God of Three Pillars, Messenger of Outer Gods, Father of Millions of Favored Nyarlathotep felt that he should be suffocated.

"Hesitating son of God, I will give you guidance." Naia, a representative of language art with high emotional intelligence, said, "My servant will be with you."

Behind the throne was a terrifying statue, which trembled in Naia's words, the dust shook off, and a giant snake with wings slid to the ground, lying coiled around the throne.

The giant snake raised its head slightly, its red vertical pupils were facing Wilbur, and it breathed on him with its mouth wide.

Wilbur's face turned pale again, he squeezed out the word "snake" from his throat, and then passed out due to excessive fright.

Crouching Chaos, God of Thousand Faces, Three Pillars, Messenger of Outer Gods, Father of Millions of Favored Nyarlathotep: What kind of trash is this.

As a last resort, Naia forced Wilbur to awaken part of his power.She has always disdained to use the power of "outer gods" to achieve her goals, and to lure "them" into chaos and destruction with a few words is what Nyarlathotep enjoys most.

Waking up, Wilbur accepted the giant snake companion tremblingly, and got a key from Naia's friendship, saying that Wilbur's "father" wanted to give it to him.

Feeling the warmth of family affection, Wilbur was very excited, and took the silver key carefully.

"Go, son of Yog-Sothoth, the blood of mankind will not bury your light. Your brother will be with you too." After Wilbur left, the Miaoman girl melted like wax and disappeared in the ground.

Gotham was originally considered a "good" sky with dark clouds churning, and under the darkness that the human eye could not see through, a group of indescribable black objects crawled across, as if to indicate that chaos was coming.

After seeing off the unlucky guy, a man in a suit and leather suit stepped out from the shadow behind the throne.

It was Professor Moriarty who came back from the dead.

He is a devoted follower of Nyarlathotep and leader of the London Underground Brotherhood.
