Chapter 567 The threat is close at hand!
"The mother box. Is it the key to everything?"
Old Bruce Wayne stood up slowly with his hands on the handrails. He strolled to the window and quietly looked at the night sky outside the window. The face reflected on the glass was full of sadness.
The night sky was pitch black, and thick dark clouds obscured the moon and stars and shrouded Gotham City, giving people a suffocating feeling of an impending rainstorm.
But I don’t know why, these dark clouds have been hovering for a week, but not a drop of rain has fallen during this time. Only the dim sky and the bleak cold wind remind people that the storm is coming.
Looking at the night sky with a solemn face.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning pierced the sky, piercing through the dark clouds with claws and teeth, and instantly illuminated half of Gotham City.
Dazzling light filled old Bruce Wayne's eyes, and his thoughts slowly became blurred.
"My name is Hippolyta, and you should be the messenger of the God of Order and Scrolls." After the initial confusion, Hippolyta quickly reacted.
What is the relationship between Zhang Yi and the Mother Box, or in other words, what is the relationship between Zhang Yi and the forces behind the Mother Box.
"Don't get excited, we are one of our own."
But the problem is that it has been two years since Zhang Yi left, and he does not have the ability to travel through parallel universes. Apart from asking Zhang Yi to come to him on his own initiative, he has no way to find traces of Zhang Yi.
"Kent Nelson, you can also call me Dr. Destiny." Kent nodded slightly, not indifferently, but not very enthusiastic either.
"Find him Bruce!"
"I personally have some speculations about this. The Mother Box has been very peaceful for thousands of years without any abnormalities. I think there must be some problem somewhere else that stimulated the Mother Box and activated it."
"You must find Zhang Yi!"
"It's possible. After all, your human lifespan is too short. A hundred years may even cause the change of dynasties. If the mother box is lost during this period, it will be troublesome." Hippolyta shook her head .
It's not that he needs Zhang Yi's help, but he really wants to know what happened. Even if there is a major crisis that destroys the multiverse, and he can't stop it, then at least he wants to know how he came to be. dead.
So Kent quickly set his sights on old Bruce Wayne. He wanted to know why the old bat called him here late at night.
"Bruce!"
"Yes." Hippolyta nodded.
"I'm thinking about the mother box. I have searched and investigated for clues about the mother box before, but I have found nothing. So I guess that even if there was a mother box in the hands of humans back then, after so many years, it would probably be long gone. It’s lost.”
Doctor Fate chuckled and shook his head. "My prophecy ability doesn't work all the time. You can't expect me to see all the future."
"That's not a problem with the Mother Box on Paradise Island. The only ones with problems are the Human Mother Box and the Atlantean Mother Box." Old Bruce Wayne narrowed his eyes, as if he thought of something.
Looking at the dark and cold underground world, the spectacular entrance to the waterfall and the skeleton specimen of a Tyrannosaurus rex, Hippolyta glanced at old Bruce Wayne in surprise.
"If you want to know about Atlantis, maybe you don't need to go to so much trouble."
He knew that Batman would never joke about something like this. If he did, it would at least prove that the matter was serious enough to threaten at least one city.
However, it can be seen from her frown that she is getting more and more anxious now.
This matter is simply full of mystery.
Needless to say, it must be the strength of old Bruce Wayne that caused the failure of Task Force
This matter has been lingering in Batman's mind for the past two years, almost driving him crazy. He especially hopes that one day his cell phone will ring.
Having followed Tim all the way here before, Hippolyta did not break into the Bat Cave directly. She really did not expect that there was actually a different cave inside.
"Wait a moment, the person you are looking for will be here in a moment." Old Bruce Wayne sat in front of the computer, and at the same time asked Hippolyta to find a seat.
It is very possible that the other party is not the Barry Allen of his own world. He may have come here from another parallel universe. It is even more likely that he is the Barry Allen who created the Flashpoint Universe.
"What do you mean?" Hippolyta turned back and looked at old Bruce Wayne in confusion.
For the past two years, old Bruce Wayne has been looking forward to his phone ringing every day, but at the same time, he is more curious about what Barry Allen refers to as the 'key to everything'.
Old Bruce Wayne didn't answer immediately. He just took out his tablet, tapped on it a few times, and sent two messages.
"Come with me, I have already made arrangements. You will understand what I mean in a moment."
Although she was curious about who sent the message, Hippolyta didn't ask any more questions. She just casually found a seat and sat down.
"But I'm curious about one thing. Since those guys knew that the Mother Box was on Earth, why didn't they come to snatch it earlier and later, but why did they wait until this time to appear?" Old Bruce Wayne suddenly asked.
"What happened?"
"Am I late? I'm too late!"
"What happened?" Doctor Fate asked with a frown.
"But isn't your human mother box missing? I think there is something wrong with Atlantis. They have been like this since ancient times. They are very unreliable. I heard that they have started a civil war."
Hippolyta didn't let Hippolyta wait too long. After about ten minutes, a golden light suddenly bloomed in the dark and silent Bat Cave.
An Egyptian symbol of life was torn out of the air. It looked like a cross, but there was no head on it, but a circle.
"etc!"
Closing his eyes slightly, old Bruce Wayne felt a little uneasy.
"Kent." Batman took the initiative to greet him.
"Don't you feel it?" Old Bruce Wayne glanced at the Helmet of Destiny and asked pointedly.
"You called me here in such a hurry, something happened again?" Kent took off the helmet of fate, and his eyes paused curiously on Hippolyta's body. "Amazonians?"
Hippolyta curled her lips and turned around suddenly. "No, I have to go to them. They have caused such a big trouble and they must give an explanation."
Sensing Hippolyta's actions, old Bruce Wayne quickly raised his hand to stop her.
Hearing this question, Hippolyta touched her chin and said.
After boarding the elevator, the two stood at the edge, running vertically downward.
"Zhang Yi, he is the key, he is the key to everything!"
"You just said that the Mother Box on Paradise Island has always been stable, right?" Old Bruce Wayne looked at Hippolyta.
Barry Allen's words still echo in his ears. He has always wanted to know what kind of threats he will encounter in the future, and they are serious enough to actively look for Zhang Yi.
Hippolyta was a little hesitant at first. After hesitating for a while, she still followed the footsteps of old Bruce Wayne. She was confident that the human in front of her could not hurt her. At the same time, she could not figure out why the other person wanted to hurt her. Not good for yourself.
Old Bruce Wayne waved his hand and immediately walked towards the elevator.
Hearing this, Dr. Destiny's face also became serious.
Then, a man wearing a golden helmet walked out of the Talisman of Life. He was suspended in mid-air, looked around, and then flew towards old Bruce Wayne.
"If being scolded can keep the world in peace, then it doesn't matter if they scold you a few times. I have no time to pay attention to them now. The enemy from outside is already close at hand." Old Bruce Wayne said coldly.
God Naboo himself looked down upon the other gods. He always felt that those gods were not worthy of that position at all, and Hippolyta, who could not even be called a demigod, was even less in his eyes.
And one more thing, which Barry Allen is that Barry Allen?
After all, he personally fought with the two Barry Allens five years ago. The old Bruce Wayne would not see the time-traveling Flash and immediately associate him with the young Barry Allen in the Justice Society.
"What are you thinking about?" Hippolyta walked to the old Bruce Wayne and asked softly.
After all, she had been in frequent contact with the Greek gods before. She was very familiar with the aura of the gods, and she immediately determined the identity of Dr. Destiny.
Hippolyta stood up subconsciously and prepared to fight. Fortunately, old Bruce Wayne stopped her in advance.
"Let Hippolyta tell you the specifics. I'm going to pick up another person."
As for Kent, he also has a certain understanding of Hippolyta. These Amazons, who are naturally warlike and impulsive, are definitely not as easy to get in touch with as imagined.
After a pause, he said again. "But your actions during this period are not small. The Justice Association is now under great pressure from Congress, and even the people have begun to protest against us."
So, in this case, the threat posed by the Mother Box and the forces behind it to the earth is the same threat that Barry Allen reminded himself of?
Even more, is the Flash an enemy or a friend? Does he really hope to get Zhang Yi's help, or is he trying to find Zhang Yi by himself?
Anyway!
As he spoke, old Bruce Wayne raised his feet and walked towards the passage of the Batcave.
Outside the Batcave, two slender girls, one black and one blue, were heading towards Wayne Castle quickly in the heavy rain.
But something strange was that the downpour of rain actually bypassed their bodies and fell on the ground, as if it had eyes.
Along the way, the clothes on the two girls were extremely dry, with not even a trace of moisture.
