Chapter 276
Bruce Wayne received an invitation to a charity banquet signed “Alexander Luthor.”
The venue of the banquet is inside the Gotham branch of the Lex Group, which has a living room dedicated to the banquet.
Batman immediately chose to go alone, he took no one with him, and he did not inform the Justice League.
At this time, he thought that this was an incident that he could solve independently.
When he arrived at the charity banquet in his vintage car, he found Alexander Luthor standing at the door, and there specifically to welcome him.
Bruce was a little wary in his heart, but he still showed a professional smile on his face and stepped forward to shake hands with the other party.
“We haven’t seen each other for a long time, Gotham’s most famous business wizard, and the person who hasn’t seen you at recent parties.”
Luthor faced his same commercial smile, and as the helmsmen of two of the more famous companies in the neighboring city, Luthor and Bruce are no strangers.
They also occasionally communicate at some commercial meetings, and they are familiar with each other.
“What have you been up to lately?” I haven’t seen you heroic in the Gotham newspaper for a long time. Luthor quipped.
Bruce said helplessly: “I’m already very old, maybe it’s time to settle down.” ”
“Wow, this turned out to be Bruce Wayne’s words, the ladies of Gotham must be very sad~”
Luthor stepped forward, patted him affectionately on the shoulder, and shook his hand again.
Bruce’s expression changed slightly, but it flashed away, as if it was just an illusion.
Luthor did not have the slightest expression on his face the whole time, he let go of his hand and ushered Bruce into the banquet.
“You’re welcome, enjoy!”
“I will.” Bruce said meaningfully, and then walked into the scene of the banquet.
After two hours, Bruce left on the grounds of ill health.
Getting in the car, he drove all the way back to the manor and headed straight for the Batcave.
“Any gains?” Afu still works in the bat cave.
Seriously, a housekeeper like him who is willing to take the initiative to work overtime is estimated to be such a person in the world, and he is still so old.
Bruce pulled a gadget out of his pocket, it was a U.
“I guess, it’s a big gain.” Aphor said after seeing the thing in the palm of his hand.
Bruce turned the U over and found that it also had the words written on it: Don’t go online!
He instantly thought of the recent power grid system, the Lex Group’s laboratory obviously overused electricity, but it was not shown on the networked system, apparently tampered with by some special program.
“Aph, give me a computer without an internet connection’~.”
Aphor immediately found him a notebook, and Bruce plugged U in, which had several folders inside.
He immediately clicked on the folder and found that there were video files and text files on it.
He first opened the video file, which was a chronological surveillance video.
Judging by the way the file is named, it should have been captured by a surveillance camera inside the laboratory.
Bruce clicked on the first video.
At first everything worked fine, but after a few minutes, something resembling a teleportation channel appeared in the surveillance video, and then an alien began to appear on the screen.
He wears silver armor, holds a giant axe, and has two deformed horns on his head.
After him, many winged humanoids appeared in that passage, they were about the same size as humans, but they could fly, and they were extremely fond of killing!
Since the angle was so average and the reception was not very good, Bruce had no way of hearing what they were saying.
But he could roughly see that there was some kind of agreement between Luthor and the alien.
Then he saw three hexahedral boxes appear in front of the alien in battle armor, and a flash of light erupted on it, and the video was interrupted.
Bruce didn’t pause, and then clicked on the second document, which detailed the final destination of the lost power.
This lost amount of electrical energy ends up in a laboratory, Star Lab.
Bruce has vaguely realized that this matter is more serious than he thought, and even Luthor must pass the news to himself through this method, which shows that he should be in a state of restraint at the moment.
To say that the biggest change that has happened to Bruce in recent years should be when he should not be able to do it, he finally knows how to shake people.
So he immediately contacted the Justice Building, and Dane and Cortana were on the lookout in low Earth orbit, and they picked up Batman’s signal.
“Bruce?”
Bruce put it succinctly: “I’m in a little trouble here and need to meet you in person.” ”
Dane thought about it, allowing Batman to take the initiative to find himself, it must be a big event that he can’t solve by himself, so he nodded: “I’ll be there soon.” ”
He said to Cortana beside him: “You stay here first, continue to fight with that electronic consciousness, I must go to Gotham to see.” ”
Cortana obediently responded.
Dane follows the teleportation light to the Batcave and sees Bruce in a formal suit.
“What’s so urgent?”
Bruce moved the laptop on his desk to Dane and let him see the surveillance video.
“Your expression makes me feel like you know about it.”
The subtle changes in Dane’s face were captured by him.
Bruce then asked, “You know who the guy up there is, right?” ”
Dane did not hide it, and said directly: “Steppenwolf, one of the new gods of the Apokolips Star, I just met him once not long ago. ”
Batman pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingers, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
“Epikolips… I remember you talking about this…”
He was talking about the movie plots that Dane used to say when he was pretending to be a god stick, and it turned out that he remembered that Dane had a prophetic character.
“Yes, this is the alien invader I once saw in the prophecy, but I thought he would not appear again…”
“According to my prophecy, the Day of Doom… The same Kryptonian monster we met last time in San Roque, which will eventually kill Superman and die with him. ”
Batman’s face changed when he heard this.
“After Superman dies, the mother box will awaken from its slumber and summon Steppenwolf to this world.” [ Read more novels for free on our website: tinyurl.com/2aa54z8b ]
“I thought that Clark had changed his own fate and that Steppenwolf would never have appeared again.
But unexpectedly, he still came as prophesied, but the details were a little different. ”
In the original movie plot, Luthor didn’t know how to learn in advance that Steppenwolf would come, but Dane was sure that he had no contact with Steppenwolf.
But in this world, the two of them have a deeper intersection.
Although Lex Luthor appears to be coerced, Dane does not trust him.
Even if his hair is still alive now.
“Who gave you this video.”
What even Cortana couldn’t get was actually got by Batman.
“It’s Lex Luthor, he secretly gave it to me.”
Dane looked him up and down and roughly understood how he got it.
So you see, Batman is who he really is, and Bruce Wayne is just his mask!
It was obvious that Luthor knew very well who he was, but fortunately he didn’t come to ask for the confusion curse, otherwise he wouldn’t even have this information.
But Luthor took the initiative to send the news to the door… Isn’t that a long way to go?
“I know the matter, but this matter should not be shocked, there is one thing I haven’t had time to tell you, there is more than one day of destruction.”
“What did you say?”
At this time, Batman couldn’t sit still, and judging by Dane’s (Nono’s) expression, he had a bad guess in his heart.
And Dane quickly confirmed his guess.
“I suspect that Steppenwolf has the method to mass-produce Doom Day, and you probably don’t know that the Doom Day in Saint Roque was actually accidentally released by the Lex Group.”
……… Change…
After passing the news to Bruce, Luthor returned to Star Labs without incident.
Steppenwolf has used his way to occupy this place, becoming an energy base to power the mother box, and all the electricity that disappeared in Gotham City has been transferred to this side.
“How long do we have to finish this?” Luthor quietly inquired about the news.
But Steppenwolf just sneered: “You shouldn’t know less questions, human!” ”
Luthor didn’t care about the contempt in his tone, he had already grasped the bottom line of Steppenwolf, and he would not kill himself until he really completed his task.
At this time, he had a strong curiosity about what the mother box was, and he believed that Steppenwolf came all the way to Earth, definitely not to come and charge the three iron boxes.
These three mother boxes must have secrets that he does not know.
