I'm the villain in Gotham

At night, Erberist and Batman met on the roof of the building last night as promised.

Because it was agreed last night to untie the hints in Harvey's mind, Erberist didn't say much about it after meeting Batman.Batman noticed that he was farther away from him this time than last night, and frowned indistinctly.

Unnoticed, Erberist greeted Batman with a chuckle, and then mentioned something else: "How's Lotkea doing today?"

Batman said pertinently: "It's not bad."

He was aware of Erberist's concern for Lotkea, but he never understood the reason.After a moment of silence, Batman asked in a deep voice, "Does he know you are Night Crow?"

Erberister was about to speak, but was interrupted by him, opened his mouth, closed it again, and shook his head slightly.

Batman frowned slightly: "Why did you come to Gotham in the first place?"

Erberist glanced at Batman, smiled meaningfully and said, "Because the person I value most is here."

Of course Batman thought he was talking about Lotkea, but he was a little displeased with Uberister's name for Lotkea.But thinking of what Lotkea just told him today, "You are my favorite person", the displeasure in Batman's heart dissipated again: "What about Lotkea?"

"Who knows," said Erberister. He folded his arms and said, as if casually, "Maybe he did it for the same reasons as me, or maybe he was because I was in Gotham."

Batman's eyebrows frowned even tighter: "I want to listen to the truth."

"This is the truth." Erberist closed his eyelashes slightly, then opened them again, looked at Batman with a half-smile, and his tone seemed a bit self-deprecating: "I never lied to you, but you just don't believe."

This made Batman think of the basement of the abandoned chemical factory, and Erberist's eyes were like burning embers.

Indeed, it was his refusal to listen to Erberist's explanations that allowed the man behind the scenes to take advantage.Even if Batman still doesn't think anyone can live without lies, this isn't the time to argue.

So he quickly started the next topic: "I don't think Wayne Manor is safe anymore," he said in a deep voice, "I will send Lotkea to New York until this matter is over."

Erberist was trying to bring the topic to this, but Batman himself brought it up first.He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, with an unhappy expression on his face, and his brows were slightly frowned: "I don't think this is a good way." He glanced in the direction of Wayne Manor: "As long as Lotte Kaia is still in Gotham, so I can protect him. As for New York," he snorted, "how much safer is it than Gotham?"

Batman remembered the news about the destruction of the Stark Tower that he had just seen today, and he didn't know how to refute for a while: "..."

But what Erberist said is indeed reasonable. When he made this decision before, he didn't know that Erberist had returned to Gotham, so he found Tony; but if Erberist was there, then he did is a better choice.

It's not that Batman doesn't trust Tony's ability, but he must also admit that Erberist's strength is quite outstanding, and there are very few people on the entire earth who can beat him. Perhaps only the Kryptonian in Metropolis can compete with him Down.

As for his importance to Lotkea, there is no need to say more. Ever since it was discovered that in the incident of the Undead Lizard, Erberist still chose to heal Lotkea even though his own injuries were difficult to heal, Batman has Never doubted this again.

But there is still a problem: "Since the behind-the-scenes manipulator can customize actions against me, there is no guarantee that there will be no way to deal with you."

"The only way to deal with me is that dagger," Öberist said flatly, "Only it can kill me completely. Keep it safe, I don't want to see it appear in the hands of anyone other than you."

Batman didn't expect him to reveal his weakness just like that, and he felt a little complicated for a while.

As early as when he found that he could freely enter and leave Erberist's safe house, Batman had already realized that his affection for him was by no means as simple as Lotkea's love house and Wu, and there must be something he didn't know about it. s reason.But despite this, Batman was still taken aback by Erberist's unscrupulous disclosure of his weaknesses in front of him.

Especially when he had just hurt him not long ago, Batman couldn't understand this: "...Why did you tell me this."

"I thought you wanted to know." Erberist glanced at Batman and changed the topic: "In short, you can rest assured. Unless I die, Lotkea will always be alive."

This is almost like some kind of declaration and oath. Batman has always been difficult to define the relationship between Erberist and Lotkea. He doesn't know why Lotkea, an ordinary person, is so valued by Erberist. He didn't know what happened between them, and he didn't know where their attitude towards each other came from.

But now, at this point in the conversation, seems like a good time to ask.Yes, Batman had to admit that he cared about this, and besides the uneasiness about having too little information about Erberist, there were also his personal emotions mixed in.

Judging from Lotkea's attitude, Erberist is not his opponent, but he has what Batman is eager to know, but can't find, Lotkea's past.After initially establishing his own information network, Batman investigated Lotkea, but found nothing.It's like he just showed up in Gotham out of thin air, leaving no trace of him before.Because it was a long time ago, and the technology at that time was far less developed than it is now, if someone deliberately erased Lotkea's identity and information, it would be impossible to do so only by relying on Batman himself.

But it just so happened that an insider was standing in front of him right now.

Batman asked, "How long have you known Lotkea?"

He looked as if he had suddenly entered some investigation mode. Oberist glanced at him vigilantly, carefully hugged his vest, and said succinctly: "Longer than you."

Although Erberist has tried his best to reduce the information he can disclose, it is still better than nothing. At least Batman affirmed the speculation that Erberist and Lotkea knew each other before they came to Gotham: "You have a good relationship before." good."

Erberist nodded pertinently: "That's fine."

Batman's next question became pointed: "But he's just a normal guy, why did you hand him that dagger?"

Erberist was a little perplexed.

This question is not easy to answer, and it is even more prone to mistakes in front of an excellent detective.Erberist hesitated for a moment, but decided to give him an ambiguous answer: "This matter may not be as complicated as you think."

Batman made no sound, motioning for him to continue.

"The reason why I handed that dagger to Lotkea is because..." Erberister took a breath, not showing the shame in his heart: "Because I like him."

As he spoke, his tone became sweeter to the naked eye: "Who doesn't like Lotkea?"

As Erberist spoke, he watched Batman's reaction indiscriminately.He felt that this time he should be stable, although he didn't know why Bruce was unhappy when he said he liked Bruce during the day, but this time he praised Lotkea, he should be happy!

Then Erberist noticed that Batman froze for a moment after hearing his words, and the air pressure around him quickly darkened.

Erberist: "..."

Erberist: "???"

Why? ? ?

He broke down and thought incomprehensibly, he can't say he likes you, and he can't say he likes Lotkea, why are you so difficult to deal with!
