"Huh?! O! M! G!"
Alfred appeared in the room at some point. The hand holding the tray kept shaking, and he almost shook off the ice water and dessert on it.
During Alfred's decades as a butler, he had always made zero mistakes, but Gordon's roar just now almost broke his record.
"Old friend, I don't mean to offend you, and I hope you don't misunderstand me, but please understand my feelings."
Alfred put down the tray, walked to Gordon, carefully bent down, and asked in a low voice: "Is the news reliable?"
"Oh my god, Al, you can't ask me like that, you have to consider my mood too!"
No matter how angry Gordon was and how worried his face was, Alfred always had a smile on his face. In his heart, he was even ready to pick out a lot of names for some new life that had not yet been born.
but……
"well……"
Bruce Wayne, who was lying on the hospital bed, covered his face in pain and said helplessly: "Al, Gordon, that's false, it's impossible.
How could you even think of going there? "
If other people ask such questions at other times, Bruce Wayne doesn't care at all and lets them guess and think as they please, but these two still have to speak clearly.
Otherwise, Batman wouldn't be able to handle it.
As for the other "party" they were discussing who was not here, Bruce Wayne had the confidence to say: "I have nothing to do with her, we haven't even met each other, and we don't even know how to do anything other than social etiquette. , never said anything other than nice to meet you.
How did you think Barbara and I would have...Gordon, it's Lynn, right? "
Bruce decisively discovered the key to the problem: "Lynn must have told you something."
Lying back straight on the thick and fluffy pillow, Bruce was even more speechless: "Gordon, you are... I don't know how to say it, but this is obviously a lie and an extremely outrageous one. mischief.
How can you believe what Lynn said! "
Gordon also came to his senses at this time. It seemed that this kind of thing was indeed impossible. He believed that Lynn was a little careless when he said such outrageous things.
However, Gordon still chose to be tough: "Then you don't believe it less.
The one who believes in him the most is you, and you still have the courage to accuse me. "
Bruce was also speechless about Gordon's words.
What they said is indeed the truth. Gordon didn't say even a single word wrong. The one who believed in Linn the most and the first to believe in Linn was indeed Batman. There is nothing controversial about this. Otherwise, when he first met When Lin En was arrested, Batman, who had already thoroughly investigated Lin En, would not be "negotiating" with Lin En.
That must have been sufficient preparations and several backup plans, purely for the purpose of eliminating the threat that Lin En might pose, to help Lin En return to Arkham as soon as possible.
Batman is scary.
A prepared Batman would be even scarier.
Again, you can fight Batman, but you can't date him.
Superman and Batman both lose one more fight. Are you stronger than Superman?
…
Bruce himself didn't speak, and Gordon felt a little embarrassed. They both sat there, one looking at the ground and the other looking at the sky. The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
"well……"
Until a faint sigh broke the silence between the two.
Alfred, who was in high spirits just now, was sitting on a expensive solid wood chair, looking as if he had aged five years in an instant.
"Al..."
"do not talk."
Alfred stood up with a wry smile, shook his head and sighed, and kept mumbling to himself: "I shouldn't have such hope..."
Then, he bent slightly and left the room.
Before leaving, I didn't forget to turn around and say to Gordon: "I'm sorry, old friend, I lost my temper a little."
This sentence made Gordon blush deeply, and he was speechless. He could only watch Alfred slowly close the door and leave.
Gordon is also feeling miserable. It's obvious...it's obvious that I almost became a victim. Why is it now that it seems like I'm the perpetrator?
His beard twitched, but Gordon still didn't say anything. Looking at Bruce who was also silent, it took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "...It's all Linn's fault!"
"right!"
Unexpectedly, this sentence was directly recognized and approved by Bruce: "It's all Linn's fault!"
"Bruce! How is your research on the anti-Lynn armor going? You have to work harder!"
"The current situation is not very good. The speed at which Linn has become stronger, the rapid evolution of his abilities, and the breadth and comprehensiveness of his coverage have all caught me by surprise. Now he is basically in a completely worse situation. "
Gordon slapped his thigh: "I will sponsor two months of your salary for free!"
Bruce couldn't laugh or cry. It seemed that Gordon still hated Lin En's prank very much: "Of course I'm not short of money. The problem now is that I may have just spent some time and energy to create a complete anti-Lin En Armor, before it can be put into experiment, Lin En has a new ability, which really makes me a little..."
Bruce shook his head slowly again: "Now he is not in Gotham, I don't know where he went, and I don't even have the chance to test new models with him.
Eh? Gordon, do you think Lynn just left Gotham just to avoid the two of us? "
One word awakens the dreamer. One word awakens the dreamer!
Gordon's fists were clenched. If Linn was standing here now, he would definitely be facing a wave of anger from the duel king of Gotham.
"Next time he comes back, I will definitely teach him a lesson!"
"let me help you!"
Bruce and Gordon looked at each other, and both saw a hint of tangible anger in the other's eyes.
The two hands were clasped together, and both parties were no longer angry or dizzy. They immediately began to discuss the topic of how to beat up Lin En in full swing.
In an instant, all the contradictions and misunderstandings were gone. Gotham, united as never before! !
……………………
"Ah Sneeze! Hmm...what's the matter? With my body like this, I can catch a cold?"
At this time, Lin En was sitting in front of a booth in an art exhibition hall, facing a... transformation that he could never understand with his artistic taste, yawning boredly.
Linn yawned and sneezed at the same time, and Lin felt as if his nasal cavity and chin had left him together.
Rubbing her chin with her hand, Linn glanced at the time.
"How long will I have to spend this boring time..."
"I think it shouldn't be too long."
A slightly lazy female voice sounded from behind him. Linn knew without turning around that it must be Ms. Diana~
"Wow, you people who know art are hard to get close to."
Lynn stood up and turned around. Wearing a close-fitting white waist-length skirt, her hair was pulled into a bun on her head, her lips were bright red, and Ms. Diana, who was smiling, was holding a document with a wooden base. Clip, standing behind him.
"Who would have thought that in this era, a god who survived from the mythical age would live right next to him.
Moreover, this god is just like before, he is actually immortal and his appearance lasts forever. "
Lin En also gave a rare compliment from the heart: "However, you just hid in human society so easily? Undiscovered? You seem to have been there more than a hundred years ago..."
"Lynn."
Diana stepped forward with her long legs and walked to the position next to Linn. She slowly sat down and crossed her legs: "You seem to have mentioned my age too much. This is not very polite."
Lin En found it interesting and sat back.
"I'm a little curious. You are already immortal. When I die, you will probably still be the same as you are now. Does age still have meaning to you?"
The smile on Diana's lips never disappeared. She shook her head gently when she heard this and asked: "Lynn, for you, when was the best day and the best time."
Lin En’s answer was also straightforward: “In the past life.
Don't look at me like this, it's really a previous life. Although I was not as handsome, rich, and capable as I am now in my previous life, my life in my previous life was really safe.
I am a person who naturally longs for peace and is extremely resistant to fights and... Your expression looks very offensive. Don't look at me like that, I really mean it. I am a young man lying flat! "
After finishing speaking, Lin En still looked a little nostalgic. She lowered her head and sighed for a long time with a pretense of affection. Unfortunately, she didn't get any response or cooperation. She could only pretend to cough twice, change the subject and asked: "What, my The answer is beyond your expectation.
So, what do you think the answer will be? Have you ever asked others this question? What is your answer? "
After answering Lynn's series of questions, Diana did not answer immediately. Instead, she narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she was caught in some long-lasting, dusty memory.
…
In terms of human age, Diana can be described as more than just longevity. She is a god after all. Although she now lives in a human society, she experiences human life and emotions, and learns to be like a human being. to live, but she is a god after all.
It is difficult for gods to understand humans, and there is no way for gods to fully integrate into human lives.
I feel the same way, but that is ultimately a false proposition.
She can't even catch a cold, how can she experience the suffering in the world...
But Diana understood. At least, she understands part of it.
As a child, Diana lived on Paradise Island.
That is where the female warriors of the Amazon clan live. It cannot be said to be inaccessible, but rather isolated from the world.
Diana grew up in such an environment, and the education she received every day was almost related to a sword and a person.
That person should be his brother, Ares, the God of War.
That sword was specially prepared for Ares, the god-killing sword.
Diana's mother always told her that one day, she would take that sword with her and do what fate decided she had to do.
At that time, it was difficult for Diana to understand why she had to do such a thing. However, whenever she asked this question, her mother would always shake her head and not answer. If she asked too many questions, she would tell her: "That's fate...Diana."
Destiny, it was really hard for Diana to have a good impression of this word.
In this way, she grew up day by day, entangled with her destiny. But fate seems to just let her live on the paradise island, day after day, year after year.
Diana sometimes even completely forgot why she practiced martial arts, why she practiced fighting skills and swordsmanship, why she always had to study those classics and recite those stories from ancient times.
Simple life, simple days, carefree Diana has been living like this.
I don’t really have any responsibilities, I just live for life and live for happiness.
Those days were rare, the best and most unforgettable days in Diana's memory.
Until she actually pulled out the sword, until she had to face her ambitious brother who wanted to drag the whole world into the quagmire.
Ares.
He showed up after all.
The world has completely returned to humans, and the era of supreme divine power has long passed. Most of the gods have self-destructed in self-doubt and struggle. A small number of them have also tried to fight, but they have all failed. The smaller part lives in seclusion, retreats from the world, sits and watches the water flow from east to west, letting time pass by and the flowers wither and bloom, completely leaving the center of the struggle.
But there are still a smaller number of people who have not only survived from ancient times, but have not changed their ambitions. They still dream of restoring the era of divine power and are still greedy for the power of gods.
Ares, the god of war, is one such god.
In order to achieve his own goals, in order to launch a war to draw offerings and supplies from the war, he has completely lost the pride and kindness of a god.
For this reason, Ares doesn't care at all about destroying all of humanity.
So, she pulled out the sword and walked towards the opposite side of Ares, whether it was for fate, to protect mankind, or for justice...
Diana killed her brother Ares.
That was the first time she killed a god, and it was also the first time she stood on the side of mankind as a savior.
From then on, even if it kicked off, it was out of control.
Over the past many years, just the various gods who died under Diana's sword, as well as the demigods with the blood of gods and their descendants, can almost have another small-scale Ragnarok.
She herself felt confused from time to time from the beginning and wanted to seek an answer. Until now, she has completely determined her goal and found her own answer.
She still likes human beings, she likes living here, she likes human civilization, human art, human warmth, human kindness, justice, creativity, courage...
Human beings are very good, and they should not be labeled as guilty of all mankind just because of a handful of bad people.
Human beings deserve it.
Therefore, Diana, who returned to reality from long memories, looked at the oil painting in front of her, looked at a certain cameraman with admiration in his eyes, looked at a pair of elderly people who were more than seventy years old supporting each other, looked at the couple holding herself The mother whose daughter explained to her the little animals in the painting...
She smiled and looked at Linn: "For me, the best memory is right here."
"here?"
"No, Lynn."
Shaking her head at Lynn who pointed to the floor, Diana smiled and opened her arms to embrace the whole world.
"This is the right place."
