Chapter 506: fall into darkness
clatter! clatter! clatter!
The footsteps of the Laughing Bat echoed in the courtyard.
The goal of his trip was for a very important person.
Edgar Stan, the former president of the Water Company.
At this time, "Uncle Fried Chicken" hadn't slept yet. He was sitting in the office, holding a newspaper, watching the latest news.
The door was pushed open with a bang.
The Laughing Bat walked in.
Edgar looked at the Laughing Bat with a terrifying face, and his expression changed slightly.
But the habit he has developed over the years has made him calm.
Even in the worst of circumstances, he survived.
Now, although he is flustered in his heart, he will never put it on his face.
"You're... the bat of laughter? Why did you come to me?"
While speaking, Edgar pressed the alarm button under the table.
This thing can send a message that you are in danger to the guard's radio equipment, and is used to protect yourself as a last resort.
"Actually."
He laughed wildly, revealing his white teeth, and said calmly, "I'm here because... um, I actually need something from you, and I need you to help me a little."
"Help? What help? I don't think I can help you."
Sweat dripped from Edgar's head, he tried his best to maintain the shock on the surface, and continued to deal with the Laughing Bat.
"Ha, don't say that. To be honest, I was a little excited when I stood in front of you, after all, I heard that you were a great entrepreneur before. The kind that changed the world, it sounds really exciting!"
The Laughing Bat opened his mouth and smiled, his tone sounded very humble.
But of course Edgar would not naively think that the other party is praising him. The other party has made the world panic, everyone is worried that a nuclear bomb will fall on their head, and everyone is afraid of the sudden arrival of this murderous demon.. ....
He wouldn't believe that the other party would go to the Three Treasures Hall without incident.
"Thank you, I accept your compliment. Unfortunately, it's not convenient for me to entertain guests here, so please forgive me for not being able to show you off."
Edgar made a gesture of seeing off.
But the Laughing Bat didn't seem to hear it, and said to himself: "I have the same idea as you about this city. I want this city to be what it should be, and make those great ideals come true. So I make a small request to you, and it can be done easily as long as you nod your head."
"I don't think we have anything to do with each other."
Edgar felt that something was wrong, why haven't his guards come over yet?
"Are you the lovely soldiers who wanted to call you? Man."
He laughed wildly and looked at him with saliva dripping from the corners of his mouth.
"Haha, I greeted them before."
Whoops!
With the wild laughter, a flash of lightning flashed in the sky.
Edgar looked out the window and saw that the guards who were responsible for defending him were all standing in the courtyard.
But the arm has been brutally cut off, and the blood keeps gushing out.
On their faces, there were expressions of horror.
Edgar shrank back in fright.
The demeanor that was maintained on the surface is all gone.
He said to Laughing Bat in a changed tone: "OK, we have a connection from now on. If I can help you, within my ability, I will do my best."
The Laughing Bat came over, sat on the table in front of Edgar, and crossed Erlang's legs.
"Then I have to thank you!"
"Walter Corporation has cultivated superheroes to guard the United States, which is a great contribution. But since superheroes are products cultivated by your company, the products will have means of checks and balances, right? What I want is this thing. , let them wrestle, or just whine at the enemy like a puppy but can't do anything. That sounds funny, so Mr Edgar, tell me how you're going to control your product of?"
More yellow saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth while laughing wildly. As he spoke, he approached Edgar.
"No, Water Corporation did have the means to control the superheroes earlier, but after Xavier mastered the company, he sealed up all the data. And I heard that he improved Compound No. 5 to make those superheroes stronger. building......"
Manic laughter didn't wait for Edgar to finish speaking, he came up and pressed his mouth, "I have visited all the high-level executives of your great company, so don't deceive me. I know you, I know you, I see your heart. , so... don't try to lie and deceive me!"
Covering his mouth by the laughing bat, Edgar's inner panic couldn't be further increased, and he nodded again and again.
"I know...I know, that kind of thing that limits their ability, I still keep that kind of thing."
"Very well, look, isn't this an agreement?"
The Laughing Bat released his hand in satisfaction and patted Edgar on the shoulder.
......
Eric doesn't know what happened in Edgar Manor, and he is now mobilizing his forces to investigate the whereabouts of the Laughing Bat.
At the same time, detect the underground water pipes and waterways to prevent contamination by the biochemical virus of the Laughing Bat.
At this time, Eric was wearing Batman's armor, squatting on the roof of a skyscraper in Upper Manhattan, watching the scenes at night.
Look at everything in the city.
Da! clatter! clatter!
Footsteps came from behind, it was Diana.
"Aren't you going to go back and have a rest?"
Diana was wearing Wonder Woman's red and gold suit with long legs standing behind Eric, blown by the night wind.
"I'm not tired Diana, what is the essence of this city?"
Eric suddenly asked Diana that.
"what?"
Diana didn't react for a while.
"The essence of a city is to gather more people with different aspirations. This is what it has always been. Whether it is now or in the past, it will be like this. To make people better and more united, Isn't it our wishful thinking? Or are we placing too much personal will on the city?"
Eric turned his face, red light flickering in his eyes.
Diana groaned inwardly.
At the same time, my heart aches.
"Eric...you, you...your eyes..."
"Yes, Diana. In the German manor, I was infected with the serum of the Laughing Bat..."
Eric's mania and depression are the result of being affected by the Laughing Bat's serum.
Although the conversion process of serum has been completely suppressed, the will is still affected.
Right now, he is transforming into a maniacal bat.
But Eric knows what he wants and what he wants to protect.
So in any case, he would not allow himself to degenerate into a maniacal bat.
"The Laughing Bat, his eyes can see through the membrane of the dark universe, and see what people fear, long for, and desire. His goggles, made of dark metal, can help him filter Cut out the noise and dark energy and focus on what he wants to see."
