Seeing Harry pressing the computer switch with ease, Ah Fu opened his mouth and said nonchalantly: "Master Xiaobu, why don't you give the responsibility of exploring the 'truth' to Miss Quinn.
She has strength, and she must be cautious. One more person than you is not too much, and one person less than you is not too little."
"This is my life, how can I let others replace it?"
Bruce gritted his teeth and stretched his head in front of the computer screen.
"Fingerprint password..."
Harry looked around and found a strange-looking mouse on the dusty desktop.
"Try it, the mouse seems to have the effect of collecting fingerprints."
She gave up her spot to Bruce.
Bruce tried to hold the mouse with normal gestures, and the blue screen was lifted, revealing a clean and tidy interface.
Open "My Computer". Outside the system disk, there are "Elite Fighting" on disk D, "Gotham Vice" on disk E, and "Wayne Group" on disk F.
Bruce subconsciously clicked on drive D, which contained several G's survival skills for cross-dressing heroes such as fighting, marksmanship, wilderness survival, and simple medical treatment.
There are also PDF documents, copies of "magic secrets" from various schools.
"Hey, this "Iron Shirt" seems to be the same as mine. They were purchased from Chinatown? Haha, your dad is so funny." Harley laughed.
Bruce opened the E drive with a sullen face. There were a lot of videos, pictures, documents and other information.
After watching for a while, several people frowned.
Most of the information is "trivial" and trivial.
For example, Du Ping was found trading at a certain pier, and a black market auctioned women in an underground market on a certain street in Brooklyn.
Disk F was even more ridiculous. More than 90% of them were financial statements. It was very difficult for Harry to read them, and he couldn't even understand them.
There are a lot of surprising facts about the rest. For example, Indian Mountain is desolate on the surface, but in fact there is a large biochemical laboratory built underground.
The chemical wastewater in the Indian Mountain Swamp comes from the underground base.
There are videos and pictures about human experiments on the resurrection of the dead and superpowers, most of which are horrific to watch.
Bruce looked ugly and said: "It seems that my father was murdered because of this. He wanted to close the Indian Hill Laboratory, and the company directors and the military behind it disagreed..."
Harley looked solemn and said: "Even the Pentagon is involved. Could it be that the Court of Owls has left Gotham and is facing North America?
wrong!
The Court of Owls is essentially an elite chaebol organization, following the chaebol development model...
Shit, courts originated in Gotham hundreds of years ago.
As long as the previous Owls had an online IQ, the court did not encounter major setbacks, but now it has become an international organization?!"
Ah Fu frowned and said: "Why is there no information about the Court of Owls? Does it mean that I only know that there is an organization that wants to deal with him, but I don't know that they are a court?"
"It's impossible. Thomas Wayne is also a 'Black Man' after all. He didn't even find out the true identity of his opponent. It's too low."
Harley shook her head and began to search the "Batcave" carefully.
The crypt is quite spacious. Only a few dozen square meters of earth and stone were shoveled, paved with cement, and built into a secret room.
The remaining thousands of square meters, the terrain is lower, the space is slightly cramped, with rugged rocks standing upright and stalactites standing upside down.
There was a sound of water flowing further away, I don't know if it was underground water or the sewer of Wayne Manor.
"Harry, look!" Bruce shouted excitedly.
He removed the glass cabinet containing the Black Knight uniform. There was no cement underneath, but ordinary earth and stone.
At this moment, the earth and rocks were peeled away, revealing a rusty iron box, as big as a six-inch birthday cake.
"How did you find this?" Harley asked curiously.
"The computer desktop is a map." Bruce said proudly.
Harry turned his head and looked at it carefully for a while. It had a sky blue background and a few irregular colored lines... It was an ordinary minimalist background picture.
"I can't understand," she said.
The joy on Bruce's face disappeared, and he said sadly: "When I was a child, my parents often played castle exploration games with me.
They gave me a treasure map and hid cookies, cakes or glass beads in a treasure box and asked me to search for them in the big house.
The game is set in a big house that we are all familiar with. There is no need to mark complicated place names, just draw the path with lines."
After hearing Bruce's explanation, Harry looked at the desktop again and found something different.
If the desktop picture is regarded as this secret room, then the lines are the paths between the seats... There is an inconspicuous yellow dot at the position representing the glass cabinet.
"Your father is so hypocritical. On the surface, he gives you a choice, but he also pretends to persuade you to choose a simple and stupid happiness. But in fact, he still hopes that you will inherit your father's legacy." Harley complained.
"I think I know the young master too well and know what he will choose." Ah Fu defended.
Bruce opened the iron box and only read the top letter. He was shocked and said: "Afu, this is the letter your father left for you!"
"My dad?"
Ah Fu picked up the letter and took a look, and sure enough: My dear son Alfred, the dark shadows in the manor are flickering. I am afraid that I am no longer safe. Although I am very scared, I am more worried about you...
"It turns out that Alfred's butler is from his ancestors. Alfred's father, Jarvis..." Harley looked strange, "Jarvis Pennyworth is the previous butler of Wayne Manor."
Bruce showed a look of reminiscence and said: "I still remember Grandpa Jarvis. I was only three years old at the time. He was very kind and very kind to me..."
"...Never come to this manor, ever. There is a secret in the manor. Only those who have served this family know it. This family, this manor, and the land I stand on are cursed."
Ah Fu murmured, with a strange expression of surprise and confusion on his face.
"No wonder when my father died and I quit the army and came to the manor to inherit the position of housekeeper, Master Thomas repeatedly pushed back.
At that time, I thought he looked down on me and was very angry.
Later, Mrs. Martha said that Wayne Manor was in trouble and was very dangerous, and asked me to go to London to serve as the president of Wayne UK Company. Only then did I know that they had good intentions.
I told them that my military career gave me the skills to protect the estate, which is exactly what I need to cope with the current situation..."
He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "It turns out that the master and his wife have always been protecting me and not letting me know about the 'Wayne's Curse'."
"You are also mentally ill. Instead of being a good CEO, you insist on coming back as a housekeeper."
Harley glanced at him and quickly flipped through DC Jarvis' letters...
It is said to be a letter, but more like a diary.
The letter contained a terrible past event.
Thomas and Martha are not the little white virgins in the eyes of ordinary people at all. They are both strong and unyielding warriors.
Ten years ago, the Waynes were threatened by the Court of Owls because they were purging the Wayne Group of all illegal and immoral businesses.
Bruce was three years old at the time, and Martha was pregnant with their second child.
The couple ignored the court's warning and continued their "just actions." Not only did they purge Wayne Group, Martha also interfered with city hall resolutions.
At that time, the government planned to demolish five public primary schools and three nursing homes at once, and use the vacant land to build high-end apartments.
Martha issued a public statement condemning this behavior and established a special fund to rebuild a new school and a new nursing home on the original land.
Even though the mayor called to convey the threat, she still did it, scolded the mayor bloody, and then succeeded.
The court decided to retaliate against them.
Owl Talon directly found Jarvis and asked the old housekeeper to trick Martha to Pier 17 and let them have a "chat" with her...
Of course the old housekeeper refused to betray his mistress.
Then, he also suffered great misfortune.
A few days later, while driving Martha home, he was involved in a car accident at the intersection of Lincoln Road and March Road. Martha survived, but Bruce's seven-month-old brother died.
That night, the old housekeeper was burned alive in the manor warehouse.
It was also after experiencing such a tragedy that Thomas Wayne put on the "Black Knight" vest, worked as a doctor during the day, and went out to be a hero at night to avoid causing trouble to his family.
Unfortunately, his identity was discovered by an owl, and he eventually killed his wife and himself.
...
"I never thought Wayne could be so miserable."
After reading the letter from Alfred's father and Thomas, Harry was filled with emotions.
The Waynes are no longer empty "good guys"; they are indeed trying to be good people, although Martha's way of doing things is too "ladyy"...
Well, Martha Wayne's real name was Martha Kane. When Bruce was living on the streets, he used the pseudonym "Thomas Kane". The surname and first name were taken from his mother and father respectively.
Kane is also a century-old wealthy family in Gotham, but they have now transferred most of their industries to other cities in the United States.
If Harley had watched more American TV series in her previous life, she would have known that Kate Kane, "Batwoman", was Uncle Bruce's daughter.
Bruce wiped the moisture from the corners of his eyes, looked at Harley and said seriously: "Now I can confirm that my father is not colluding with the Court of Owls."
"Okay, the second generation Thomas has been whitewashed, but what about the first generation?"
Harry continued to look through the newspapers, photos and yellowed old stationery in the box.
The information about Thomas I, Bruce's great-grandfather, is far less detailed than that of Thomas II.
To sum up, there are only two points: First, Bruce's great-great-grandfather, Allen Wayne, seemed to be mentally disturbed in his later years (from the Gotham Times in 1922). He kept saying "The owl's nest is in my house, and they are going to kill me."
He entered the sewers, was murdered in the sewers, and his body decomposed for several months before being discovered.
Second, in order to investigate the cause of his father's death, Thomas I spent his whole life looking for the legendary Court of Owls. In order to lead the court, he even led a group of social elites to create a court of his own.
Harry can also understand Thomas I's thoughts.
Allen Wayne said that he was hunted by an owl, but the court has always been a legend, and no one knows whether it really exists.
If the court is found, it means that Allen is not crazy and Thomas I can avenge his father.
As a result, he set up a fake court, but the real court never appeared. Then the fake court evolved to this day, and even Wayne was deeply tortured...
"wrong!"
Harry suddenly thought of a possibility and said in surprise: "The real Court of Owls must have appeared long ago."
"Where?" Bruce asked confused.
"Remember the ballad of the court?" Harley looked uncertain, "Looking at Gotham City in the dark, hiding in the low-walled pavilion; living with him at home, lying in the bed, he is also there.
Thinking back again, when I didn’t know this information before, I made my guesses about the core and peripheral courts.”
Bruce exclaimed in horror: "My great-grandfather united with the Gotham elite to establish the 'Legendary Court'. It is very likely that there is a real owl among the elite.
The real court 'nests' in the home of the false court.
Use the false to cover up the true, use the true to control the false, the true is true and the false is false, and the false is also true.”
"If this is the case, the Court of Owls will be so terrifying that it will be almost difficult to eradicate." Ah Fu said worriedly.
Harry frowned and said: "If I capture the soul of a core member, I can remove them one by one even if the court is scattered all over the world.
The key is that even Claw's soul doesn't know which demon god it fell into, and the core members must be followers of that demon god.
Bruce, if a court representative comes to your door, we'd better give in and find out the details of the devil.
