Facing the somewhat aggressive attitude of the unknown guests from out of town, the tavern owner acted unusually calm.
He simply stood up, pointed in the direction of the door, and politely said: "Get out."
"Tsk~"
Lin En was speechless, this is boring~
Before Black Bat Ben was sent to Arkham for retirement, he clearly told Lin En the location. Lin En braved the strong wind and rain, relying on his habit of being struck by lightning, and broke through the rain curtain along the way to find it. This small island has an ancient lighthouse with a strange shape.
To be honest, this place is indeed remote enough. At least Linn couldn't imagine how anyone could find this place that is not easy to find on the map in reality.
However, according to Black Manta's own words, the various small islands in the nearby waters, including larger islands and coastal land, have always relied on the sea for food due to weather and temperature reasons, as well as transportation problems.
Black Manta himself was born and raised on a small island nearby, and therefore prematurely formed a grudge with Arthur Curry, who was not yet called Aquaman but had a normal human identity and name.
Arthur killed his father. These are Black Bat Ben's original words, and they are one of the reasons why he hates Neptune.
Therefore, Black Manta, whose face is covered by the helmet, has never heard about Arthur from other people. He himself is a member of this place. The two of them are actually fellow villagers. Maybe he will shed tears once his mask is removed. Woof woof.
Therefore, Linn was extremely convinced that this was the small fishing village he was looking for, and he had indeed come to the right place. What's more, judging from the abnormal attitude of the tavern owner and the overly normal unity of the guests in the tavern when faced with certain situations, it is not difficult to see that they must have something to do with certain situations. Concealed.
Linn believed that the "news" and "intelligence" they were hiding and protecting together was the information about Arthur Curry, the King of the Sea.
However, after discovering this, Linn did not feel so happy and excited, but rather...unspeakably touched.
Look, look at people, old bat.
The King of the Sea fished for three days and dried the nets for two days. He didn't return to the village for ten days and a half. When the villagers were fishing, he drove some fish into the fishing nets for them. What could this mean?
Look at the villagers here, look at the attitude of these protected people towards their benefactor, they are almost worshiping Neptune as a god!
Look at you again! Look at what kind of work you did in Gotham. You punished evil and promoted good for four or five years. In the end, you turned yourself into the biggest criminal in Gotham.
The clown doesn't have as many lawsuits and bounties as the old bat!
This is really...
"People are more likely to die than others~ Sigh, I don't know what he would think if he saw this situation."
Linn didn't follow the boss's instructions and got out.
He sat calmly on the high stool, turned around, leaned his back against the bar, put his hands behind his back, and faced all the guests in the tavern.
Slowly scanning everyone, Linn could see that these guys were vaguely planning to squeeze over and grab him and throw him out of the window.
"you……"
Lin En spoke: "...Aren't you afraid of death?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was obviously stunned for a moment, but none of them backed away.
"Tsk~"
What a unity.
No matter what it is, whether it is true or false, or whether they are being coerced and have no other choice, in short, at this moment, these people in front of him are the most "unforgettable" people Lin En has seen in all the years he has been here. A group of people who deserve it.
The people are not afraid of death, but why...
Lin En also knew in his heart that it was actually easy to force that Neptune out, just stay here and do some bad things.
However, although it is true that Linn has no lower limit, after all, he still thinks that he is not a purely bad person.
Villain, yes.
Bad guy, no.
The reason for coming to Neptune was to ask for his help, to make him an invitation for the old bat, but not to seek revenge. There was no need to turn a good thing into a bad thing, that would be stupid.
So, in a rare move, Linn backed down, gave up, and gave up.
He smiled, stood up, and gave a thumbs up to the tavern owner who had an overbearing and direct attitude: "You are not bad. Well done. Maybe I really came to the wrong place."
With that said, Lin En stood up, still with a smile on his face, facing everyone's eyes, and slowly walked towards the door.
Among the crowd, a road separated to avoid this man from a foreign land.
But suddenly, he stopped.
He quickly turned around and strode back towards the bar.
The tavern owner had a stern look in his eyes and held one hand on the shotgun under the bar.
At this time, Lin En had returned to the previous position, looking at the tavern owner faintly: "You really can't... sell me a bottle of Coke."
"..."
"I have to take that money."
Reaching out to pick up a few wet coins on the table and putting them back into his pocket, Linn started walking out again.
Then……
Back again.
"Fake! What do you want?"
The tavern owner couldn't help it anymore, so he directly raised the gun under the table and pointed it at Linn's face with a look of excitement.
"Oh~~! Don't get me wrong, this thing is very dangerous.
It suddenly occurred to me... If you see the person I am talking about, tell him that I will be waiting for him at the lighthouse over there.
You can tell him, just say... the world is going to end and I need his help. "
After saying that, he put the pieces of money on the bar table and flattened them with his hands: "This is part of the reward... The main reason is that my boss only sent me here to find people, but he didn't give me public relations fees. Just be patient for now.
in addition……"
Linn stretched out his finger: "No matter what, I will only wait for him for five days. After five days, he won't come...
Then I can only go down and find him. My name is Lynn, Lynn Adrian. You can tell him this too.
Goodbye~"
This time, Lin En did not look back, and walked through the crowd all the way to the door. He opened the door that was pressed tightly by the strong wind, faced the heavy rain curtain and the howling wind, walked into the rain, and gradually disappeared.
In the tavern, everyone tacitly agreed not to speak, but crowded to the front of the bar in three or two steps, holding wine glasses, waiting for the tavern owner to speak.
"Right now... we just tell him the truth and let him make his own decision.
After all, the person who came here this time is probably the same kind of person as him. "
………………
On the edge of the island, on the lighthouse.
It's windy and rainy. In a place surrounded by the sea, there is always wind and rain every day during a certain period of the year. The weather is terrible and never-ending.
However, the wind was howling outside, but Lin En was doing pretty well inside the lighthouse.
It's not the reason why this dilapidated lighthouse is so good and strong. The villagers here are so poor that they can't find so much money to repair such a big lighthouse.
In fact, when Lin En moved in, he did some work and materials and reinforced the outside.
Not to mention, the little cat spent so much money to buy so many things, but Linn didn't feel any pain at all when using them. In addition, with the help of many clones and Linn's ability as a tree-planting expert, even in this weather, Linn also successfully renovated the lighthouse, making it function as a holiday villa while maintaining its original functions.
Even if it is a gift left for the villagers and the tower guardian.
…
Under the big chimney, Linn was cooking.
There is no way, there are really no conditions for barbecue here, so I have to hone my cooking skills.
After preparing three dishes and one soup, Linn walked to the pot hanging on the side and took out the rice.
"Oh! The top is stuffed with raw material, the middle is too watery, and the bottom is mushy. I can really do it! I can make three pots of rice in one pot!"
Giving herself a thumbs up, Linn dug out the top layer of uncooked rice and started eating directly from the middle.
I have been living in this tower for four days.
Lin En really kept his promise and never left here, let alone did anything in the village.
He just simply waited, waiting for the time to come.
In the past few days, some villagers and others have braved the wind and come to the lighthouse to observe the situation.
The practice and cultivation of [Little Universe] is what Lin En has been doing. Maybe it’s because of the change of environment? It may be that this place is closer to nature, or it may be that Lin En has come to a new scenery and life that he has never been exposed to. In the past few days, Lin En can clearly feel that his five senses are becoming more and more acute, as if he may break through at any time. , become a Saint or something.
Naturally, those villagers squatting outside to "monitor" him were discovered by Lin En.
Lin En didn't do anything to them. He didn't threaten, expel or beat them.
Those people also observed it and then left.
Many waves of people came one after another, but Lynn never "saw" the most special one as quickly as I did.
Neptune never came.
However, Linn knew that the guy should have already known what happened here, and what he told the tavern owner should have been brought to him.
However, nothing happened.
"Sigh... It seems that sometimes, being too little famous and too hidden is not a good thing."
If Clark came here and said the same thing to him, Linn wouldn't believe that someone would dare not come and accept this appointment!
"There's only one day left. It seems like I really have to go find you."
…………
Another day passed.
Still, nothing happened.
"Ah...it seems that it's time for me to take action."
Standing next to the half-sealed small window, Lin En glanced out the window: "Today, the wind and waves seem to be lighter.
Um? "
Looking down slightly, Linn saw something interesting.
"These people are really desperate."
The body slowly turned into blue lines and smoke, and Linn disappeared into the lighthouse.
Two seconds later, he came back to put out the fire, put the pot away, and Linn disappeared into the house again.
A moment later, Linn appeared under an inverted black rock shaped like an eagle's beak not far from the seaside, standing silently behind someone.
At this time, the young man in a black raincoat still had his head exposed, holding a pair of binoculars and looking towards the lighthouse.
And Linn behind him looked at such a small haven. It was a cave that was not too deep, with wind leaking from everywhere and no shelter from the wind. There were bread crumbs and water bottles all over the floor. There was an extinguished fire in the deepest part of the cave, and half-dry water on the side of the wall. A pile of firewood.
Otherwise, young people are in good health. With such a day and weather, I don’t know if anyone will come to change classes with him or something.
Are you really going to stay here and watch him for four days?
"Hello."
Lin En's voice was not loud, but it was even more distorted when mixed with the whistling wind.
However, the young man still heard the sound clearly. He was so frightened that he almost knelt on the ground and dropped the telescope in his hand.
"You...this is so unprofessional."
The other person turned around and it turned out to be a young man, maybe in his early 20s.
"You go back and warm yourself up, tell your people, just say... just say, I'm going to find that person. Go ahead.
go! "
The young man was a little stupid and asked cautiously: "Why do you have to find him?"
Originally, there was no need for Lin En to answer this question. However, maybe these few days of solitude had helped him cultivate his mind and cultivate a peaceful mind. In addition, Lin En really felt that the people in this village were good, so Lin En After thinking for a moment, I answered his question.
"It's not that I'm looking for him. I'm just here to tell him a piece of news in advance, a piece of the future.
By the way, send a message to others. Believe me, I will not hurt him, let alone force him, I just need him to listen to what I say.
Okay, you go back. Say what you need to say, goodbye~"
Without saying much to the young man, Linn went straight to the pier on the seaside.
There are no protruding rocks or shelters on the shore here, so the waves appear to be bigger and more dangerous.
Linn took out his little robot Robert.
The Black Bat Ben's equipment has been fed to it by Lin En. In addition, the little guy also eats the rest of the steel, chips and circuit boards. Now, let it transform. It's impossible to do King Kong, but it's not a big problem to transform into a submarine, or restore the Black Manta's diving suit and make an improved version.
"Son, if you don't find anyone in a while, you can go into the water to look for me. Do you hear me? I have a phobia of the deep sea and can't go into the water."
Reaching out and patting the confused Robert, Lin took out... a box of iron pineapples from his pocket.
"Then, let's start with this. Let me see...
Oh yo! My armaments are quite sufficient!
Release! Must be released!
Let's release 3,000 kilograms of explosives today to see if the sea will give me something in return. "
immediately……
Like setting off firecrackers, Lin En vigorously threw the iron pineapples into the sea one by one, or pushed them into deep water, exploding one by one.
Linn's throwing force changed from hand-throwing to hand-held throwing, then to shoulder-resistance throwing, then to stand-on-the-ground throwing, then to non-target-guided throwing, and then...
"It's cool! It's so cool! Hahahaha!"
Lin En threw it happily, and it felt like setting off firecrackers during the Chinese New Year when she was a child.
However, in the distance behind Lin En, the villagers who came after hearing the news didn't think so.
What kind of person is this?
"This, this can't be...it can't be that he just wanted to come up from here and hurt him!"
The tavern owner also came despite the rain, with a worried expression on his face: "No, we have to do something to stop him, otherwise..."
"No."
Behind him, a familiar voice answered him.
"I'm already here."
The main couplet of the director's cut version is available on Station B. Looking at it, it really feels a bit like "The Desolate Old Life of an Old Bat".
