Gordon looked at Harvey who was hugging Gilda in the study, and said to Batman behind him with some emotion: "Fortunately, you know Erberist, the date of the general election is coming, if this problem is not resolved, I'm afraid brother Tan City will be paralyzed again, and all our previous efforts will be in vain."

Batman hummed softly.

Harvey patted Gilda on the back and walked towards them.He obviously heard what Gordon said just now, nodded and said: "Yes, we have to thank him. Batman, if you are familiar with Erberist, I hope you can help me convey my gratitude to him. Of course, if he It would be even better if you would like to hear my thanks in person." He recalled that Erberist had left so simply, so he couldn't help adding: "...if he is willing."

Gordon said to Harvey: "Maybe we had some prejudice against him before. As far as I know, he has saved Gotham twice so far." He looked at Batman and commented pertinently: "There is At that time, I felt that the two of you acted a little similarly."

They also hide deep in the shadows and guard the darkness, but never need to be grateful.The public is unaware of their contributions and sees them as scourges.

...But there is no way, Gotham is such a place, she is stuck in the mud, and those who want to pull her into the light will face the greatest degree of malice and obstruction.Erberist aside, but Batman is just an ordinary person, he needs to protect his other identity and the family he has behind him.Occasionally Gordon thought he looked like an old friend of his, but since Batman kept his identity a secret, Gordon never asked.

Gordon looked at Harvey: "Now that the problem has been solved, what are you going to do next?"

Harvey shrugged: "What else can I do? Of course, according to the original plan, prepare the speech on the day of the general election, do my job well, and squeeze time to see a psychologist. Don't worry, I don't plan to take shortcuts this time."

Batman's voice was low and hoarse: "You are preparing to sue Sal Maroney recently."

"Yes." Harvey said confidently: "I will send the biggest gang leader in Gotham to Blackgate Prison, and I will guarantee that he will be sentenced to hundreds of years in prison, so that this bastard will never be in Gotham again." Do his illegal business."

The Maroni family has been entrenched in Gotham City for so long, and has always been on equal terms with the Falcone and Sabatino families. If Erberist hadn't suddenly appeared in Gotham 20 years ago and stepped in, he would have joined forces with Falcone to swallow Sabatino's power.

Of course, the leader of such a huge family cannot be prosecuted and sent to prison casually. In fact, Harvey has worked hard for this many times before, but with little success.This time Harvey swears that he may have found Maroni's Achilles' heel.

As a prosecutor, Harvey has considerable talent, means and keen sense of smell. Since he said so, Batman will stop worrying and focus on other more important aspects.

Gordon said, "I think you'd better be careful. Maroney knows you're investigating him, and he won't let it go. Batman, I think..."

He turned around and suddenly found that there was no one behind him.

Gordon blinked, and looked at Harvey who was also dazed.

Gordon: "..."

Gordon: "..."

Can't you squeak before you go next time? ? ?

It wasn't too late when Batman returned to the Batcave.Alfred was standing in front of the bat computer, and when he saw him, he said, "I'm so glad to see you back here intact, young master."

Batman took off his hood: "There are no dangerous jobs today."

"I don't think it's a good sign considering the mayoral election is coming to a close," Alfred said.

It's more like the calm before the storm, Batman thought.He didn't speak, walked to the bat computer, opened the files of the Wayne Institute personnel, and continued to browse.Lotkeya's suspicion is very reasonable. The project in the research institute is highly confidential. They just submitted the experimental product of the new weapon in the morning, and someone came to rob it in the afternoon. It must be an insider.

Whether it's for Lotkea's safety, or to uncover the enemy hiding behind the scenes, Batman must find him as soon as possible.

He numbered and sorted each of them, listing the possibilities and looking for evidence to clear or corroborate his suspicions.After two days of hard work, the circle of suspicion narrowed again and again, and Batman basically pointed the finger at several people.

According to his initial speculation, this ghost is most likely a member of the weapon research experiment team. He is the first to grasp the progress of weapon research, and he also has enough time and opportunity to disclose the information.At the same time, Batman thinks that this person was probably not on the scene at the time of the robbery. He has mastered the time of committing the crime, and leaving early can ensure his own safety; .

In the shrinking circle of suspicion, Batman saw two familiar names: Elena Fergus, a new experimenter, and Eddie Joyce, the leader of the research team.

One of them pursued Lotkea, and the other was Lotkea's assistant, and both had a close relationship with him.

Batman frowned, and put the two people into the key observation objects.

"Master," Alfred said while operating the computer, "the other matter you asked me to investigate has already begun."

Batman said, "Sabatino?"

"Yes." The old housekeeper said: "I found out that he recently received a sum of money and it was transferred to his private account. Besides, there is another discovery that you may be interested in."

Batman pondered for a while: "Let me guess...the other party's method is exactly the same as the transfer that old Harris received?"

"Very keen intuition, master." Alfred nodded slightly: "Yes, exactly what you think. I found some residual data from Sabatino's encrypted file, but I couldn't restore it."

"At least this can confirm our guess." Batman said: "It seems that we have to contact Sabatino as soon as possible. The other party has not yet discovered that I and Erberist have joined forces. This is our advantage."

Alfred said, "I guess you've got a rough plan."

Batman gave a deep "hmm": "By the way, Ah Fu," he seemed to suddenly remember something, and said in a deep voice: "Harvey is going to sue Sal Maroney soon, remember to remind me on the day of the trial. "

He is still not at ease. The prosecution of Maroney should be Harvey's last trial before he was elected mayor. He has to ensure that Harvey will not have any accidents.

"Okay, master." Alfred asked, "In what capacity are you going to attend?"

Batman was silent for a moment: "Batman."

……

After finishing his treatment with Harvey, Erberist came to the New York Temple.

He staggered as he landed, and was grabbed by Doctor Strange, who happened to be out of meditation.The other party checked his current situation for a while, and his calm face immediately changed, and his annoyance perfectly blended into his deep voice: "...I remember that I told you enough before you left. ?”

Erberist coughed twice, wiped away a little blood from the corner of his mouth with his fingertips, and said in a hoarse voice, "The plan can't keep up with the changes... And I thought that the most important thing now is not to talk about this?"

Doctor Strange snorted coldly, and golden magic lines appeared on his palm: "If I were still working in the hospital, patients like you would be thrown into the blacklist by me immediately."

"Thank you so much, you... changed your job, doctor." It's not a good feeling to have your power sealed away, not to mention that Erberist's current situation is not very good.But fortunately, after Doctor Strange strengthened the seal, the trend of wound tearing caused by excessive use of magic was slowing down. Erberister buried his head in his arms, leaned on the sofa and panted for a while, wiped his face Putting the cold sweat that gathered on his chin: "...I feel better, thank you."

To be honest, Dr. Strange doesn't want to talk to him now, and said with a blank face: "I hope you will find me for something else next time. I'm not a personal doctor."

Erberist also knew that he had been bothering Doctor Strange recently, so he said a little guilty: "Next time you need it, I will definitely come to help."

Doctor Strange caught his breath in his throat.

He took a few steps around Eberister in annoyance, turned around to face him abruptly, stretched out a finger, and took a deep breath: "My God, that's all you can think of?!"

Erberist was a little puzzled and tried to explain: "I know you have a lot of things to do every day, but I've been adding unnecessary burdens to you recently, so I..."

"No, damn it, you didn't understand what I meant." Since taking over the class of the Ancient One and becoming the supreme mage, Doctor Strange has rarely had excessive mood swings, but recently the vein on his forehead Jumping is very active: "Apart from me and the bat in Gotham, can't you think about yourself?"

"Oh, you said this." Erberist understood it, thought for a moment, and said indifferently: "It's okay, these are not fatal injuries." He noticed that the vein on Doctor Strange's forehead popped out Trend, I have to add: "Of course, it will be fine in the future."

Doctor Strange made him laugh angrily, can he make it if he doesn't die? "Who did you learn this damn idea from?"

As soon as the words came out, Doctor Strange regretted it.Who else, of course the one in Gotham...

Sure enough, Erberister said: "My master." He paused, and then said: "But I don't agree with him doing this, he is just an ordinary human being, different from me." He sighed: "Human It's just too fragile."

Doctor Strange rolled his eyes.Batman can't, he can, ok, ok, that's pretty much the right idea.

He has now discovered that although Erberist has been on Earth for so long and is very familiar with all kinds of ways of the world, some thinking is still different from that of human beings—normal human beings.In the end, it's all the fault of the old bat from the previous timeline.

I don't know if it's too late to call the mutant professor in Manhattan, Doctor Strange thought blankly, he thinks these two people need to receive some psychological treatment.

...but most importantly, they don't think they are sick yet!

The levitating cloak looked at Doctor Strange who was sulking, and then at Eberrist who was sitting on the sofa with a puzzled face, and finally decided to rub Dr. Strange with the stand-up collar, and touch Eberrist with the hem of the cloak as a comfort .

Of course, the collar was slapped away by Doctor Strange, but Erberist didn't say much. He even touched him soothingly, and the cloak rubbed happily for a while longer.

Doctor Strange dragged him back angrily, opened a portal, and threw Erberister back to Wayne Manor.

He looked at the sofa that had become empty in an instant, walked around it twice anxiously, and turned to walk towards his messy library.

Erberist said that he was fine, but Doctor Strange was not at ease.The current magic potions are not very effective for him. Doctor Strange decided to look through the books more, hoping to find some useful spells from the vast sea of ​​magic books. His wounds cannot be delayed any longer.

……

Erberist was indeed not as good as he said.

After all, the excessive use of magic had some impact on him. Even if Doctor Strange stopped the loss in time, Erberist still lost consciousness after returning to Lotkea's room.

Lying on the bed drowsily, he felt a hand caressing his forehead.

The other party's breath was so familiar, he flinched subconsciously, his voice was weak and slightly trembling, but full of resistance: "...Don't touch me."

The hand paused for a moment, then slowly withdrew it.
