Chapter 501: Fallen Bat

Batman is dead?

Eric was stunned when he heard the news. After all, he is here now. He is alive and well, how can he say he is dead?

Is it fake?

Or the conspiracy of the Nightmare Batman?

Upon hearing the news, Eric immediately had dozens of different thoughts in his mind.

"What exactly happened? Nightwing."

Sitting in the underground base in New Jersey, Eric asked Nightwing.

This is an ordinary conference room, with only Eric and Nightwing in the room.

Nightwing had obviously collected all the information outside.

He handed Eric a photo.

"The cause of death was a fall from the sky!"

The photo shows a man in armor similar to Eric lying on top of a car.

The car was deformed by the opponent's body.

It looks a little miserable.

"How can we be sure that he is Batman? People like Laughing Bat will casually announce that Batman is dead, and our people will believe him, right?"

Eric is not very worried about such news.

If this is the conspiracy of the Laughing Bat, it can only be said that his plan is not very good.

"Actually, only a small part of what's reported in the newspapers. After all, basically all entertainment has stopped now, people are hiding in basements, scared, and there are very few news. But what concerns me the most is. …”

Nightwing handed over the second photo.

Uncover the mask of the person who pretended to be Batman, and the real face of the other party was conveyed through photos.

"This is... Bruce Wayne?"

Eric looked at the person in the photo and asked Nightwing uncertainly.

"Yes, it's him!"

"But Bruce Wayne doesn't exist in our world. Could it be from another dimension? Maybe our reinforcements?"

Eric looked at the photo and made a guess.

"Reinforcement? I don't look like it."

Nightwing became the director of Arkham Asylum and had a good relationship with the NYPD.

He handed Eric a few more pictures.

Eric glanced at the photo, and immediately frowned.

This is an anatomical photo that is not suitable for children.

"Maybe it was Bruce Wayne, who was transported by the Laughing Bat from another dimension. Looking at these photos, I arranged for a forensic doctor to conduct an autopsy and found that the cell structure in this dead Bruce's body is very strange. The structure of this cell is very strange. Instability, dark matter? Or something else? I don't know, but it's obviously complicated."

"Where was the body found?"

After Eric looked at the photo carefully, he asked Nightwing.

"Near Seventh Avenue in Sunset Park, one thing is very strange. The surrounding buildings can't meet his fall height at all. Since he died of a high-altitude fall, all this seems extremely unreasonable."

Nightwing said what he found strange.

At the same time, he took out a photo from his pocket, Bruce Wayne with white sideburns.

"Here's a picture I found in my wallet, this Bruce Wayne looks like a mayor, and from the picture, he's happy and seems to have retired from being Batman. He also has a speech in his pocket, celebrating Gotham signed a federal energy deal, and it's possible he was having fun, or on a blimp, and then...he got here."

Nightwing talks about his inference.

After listening to Eric, he nodded and thought for a moment, "Then the question is, why did Laughing Bat bring Batman from other worlds? What does he want?"

Eric guessed the purpose of the wild laughter.

"I don't know. At present, there are only so many clues that we know. It is difficult to deduce the whole truth of the matter."

"Looks like we're going to the NYPD morgue."

Eric is going to investigate this unidentified corpse again.

He always felt that the Laughing Bat had a big conspiracy behind his back this time.

"Okay, I knew you would go."

Nightwing has an expression that I knew you would do this long ago.

After the two came out of the conference room, they met Al who was playing with Cathy.

For his cheap son, Eric didn't know how to arrange it for the time being, so he could only stay here temporarily.

As for education or other things, we will make specific arrangements later.

"Hey, Al, Cathy."

Eric greeted the two little dots from a distance.

Seeing Dad coming, Al cheerfully left Cathy and ran towards Eric.

"Hi, Dad!"

"doing what?"

Gently patted Al on the shoulder and asked him.

"I practice controlling her pet with Cathy."

Al happily replied.

"Dad, where are you going? Can I follow you?"

Al blinked, seeing that his father was ready to go out, he also wanted to go with him.

"You and Cathy can play together here. Dad has something to do. I'll come back to accompany you later, okay?"

Eric comforted Al like a child.

"Oh!"

Al nodded, feeling a little lost, but he went back obediently.

On one side, Nightwing kept staring at the two with strange eyes.

"You are quite patient as a father."

Nightwing commented on Eric.

"Really? Maybe a responsible person can be a handsome father!"

Eric said something outrageous.

......

The morgue at the police station.

Opening the freezer drawer, Eric confidently checked this strange corpse.

Soon, he discovered a small hole in his chest which seemed to be punctured by a needle.

It happens to be the heart.

"Look, this wound."

Wearing gloves, Eric pointed to the wound and said to Nightwing.

"The heart, why is there a wound here? Was it stabbed by a sharp object?" Nightwing checked the wound and frowned.

Eric shook his head, took off the gloves, and threw them into the trash.

"No, this is not a wound left by a sharp cut, but a blood or tissue sampling."

Eric is also slightly proficient in criminal investigation and clinical medicine. He said: "The blood of the heart contains the last dead human cells, which are the most resilient ones. Maybe, someone extracted these cells and prepared them for production. What? Serum, or something else dangerous?"

Eric spoke his conjecture.

"A serum?"

Nightwing touched his nose and felt that things had become more complicated.

"The Laughing Bat comes from a dimension of dark matter, where everything is related to our hopes and fears. So extracting dark matter serum, creating biological weapons, or something more terrifying, it is easier for him. things."

Eric motioned for Nightwing to push the corpse back into the freezer, and he said while putting on his coat.

"Are you 100% sure that this has something to do with the Laughing Bat?"

Nightwing felt that this was not necessarily as serious as Eric said.

"Richard, when we do something, we first think of the worst situation, and then we can formulate the most prudent plan."
