Chapter 58 Fear
After Earl left, Dante walked out of the machine not far away. He looked at Lucius, who was sitting there quietly, and spread his hands helplessly.
"It seems that being smart is not necessarily a good thing. You could have avoided exposing this matter, but I appreciate your frankness."
After Dante finished speaking, he went to the side and took a chair, placed the chair next to Lucius, and sat on it imagelessly.
Lucius turned to look at the casual Dante, chuckled, then rolled his eyes and said slowly.
"The name of this company is Wayne, not Earl. If I can help your mysterious friend, Earl won't decide my stay, right?"
After Lucius finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at Dante, with a smile that saw everything on his lips. After just one glance, he devoted himself to his work again.
Dante didn't want to disturb him in preparing the antidote, so Dante leaned on the back of the chair and crossed his legs, stroking his white ivory in his hand. The weapon always needs to have sufficient tacit understanding before it can exert sufficient power.
At the same time, in Earl's office on the 21st floor of Wayne Group, Earl was angrily reprimanding the group's logistics director.
"Why, why are Wayne Group's cruise ships also being robbed? Damn it, is the money we give to the government every year in vain? It's on our route, on the route where we trade with China's Divine Spear, Our ship was actually blown into powder. Boris, contact Divine Spear and ask them to find our lost microwave transmitter. Damn it, that thing is worth more than one billion."
"Earl" Boris frowned and said: "The problem now is not that a simple machine has been lost, but that we have lost a very strategic machine, which can even determine the outcome of a war. , if this machine proves to be used in a third world war, we will be under great pressure."
"Then find it." Earl slapped the table hard. When he was about to slap it a second time, he suddenly realized that this action caused his hand to hurt so much, so he stopped his hand in the air, and finally He slowly put it down, and his anger disappeared with this movement. He said feebly: "Find him, Boris, we must find him."
Boris left Earl's office silently. In fact, Boris closed the door loudly, but Earl was completely lost. In Earl's eyes, everything seemed silent.
Time such as water, always silent.
When the sun shone across the land again, Bruce opened his eyes in confusion, oh, maybe we should call him Batman.
Well, that's all for outsiders. Everyone here is Bruce's friend. Of course we know who he is.
"Alfred, look, he looks like he had a good dream." Dante sat in the corner of the bedroom and pointed to the drool left in the corner of Bruce's mouth with a smile. Alfred smiled and took the towel and threw it into Bruce's hand.
"Master" Alfred pointed at Bruce, and then pointed at the corner of his mouth with that finger: "Look at your mouth, I see this child-like look on your twenty-eight-year-old face, to be honest , I really feel like I’ve gone back to the past.”
"Hahaha, I really regret not taking pictures." Dante laughed, and Bruce, who was always gloomy and deep, actually drooled while sleeping.
Bruce finally wiped his mouth amidst laughter, folded the towel and placed it next to him.
"Hey," Bruce said, "I thought what I saw when I woke up was going to be a heavy scene."
After Bruce finished speaking, he supported the bed with both hands and tried to get up from the bed. At that moment, he wailed in pain.
"Dry"
Bruce climbed up from the bed and looked at his body. The entire left side of his chest, abdomen and back were completely blue.
"It seems that I fell badly last night. Maybe I should add a flight system to my armor. Even if I can't fly, I should at least have a buffer prop to make me safer when I fall from a high place."
"I have a special kind of fabric there, maybe you can make a cloak first" Lucius replied.
Bruce nodded.
"The cloak is also fine. You can modify it and use it as a gliding Lucius." Bruce looked at the black man in the room in amazement. Then, he turned to look at Dante and Alfred: "What's going on? , Lucius, why are you here?"
Dante stood up from the sofa, threw his pajamas to Bruce, and then explained: "You should thank Lucius for the antidote he made for you last night."
After Dante finished speaking, Lucius spread his hands helplessly towards Bruce: "Actually, I don't want to come here. After all, if I don't know who you are, I don't need to lie when others ask me, but , your white-haired friend probably can’t trust me.”
Dante chuckled and put the white ivory he was playing with back into the holster.
"Don't think too much," Dante explained while pouring everyone a glass of wine: "I just think it would be better for you, a doctor, to see the efficacy of the antidote with your own eyes."
"Teacher" Bruce shook his head and looked at Dante seriously: "You should not reveal my identity to others at will."
"I didn't. You revealed it yourself. Don't you think that the inventor of the equipment on your body will be deceived by your little lie? Lucius already knows your identity. He made a device to treat you. The antidote, I can't leave him outside. If something unexpected happens, your identity may be exposed because of him."
Dante said that he didn't think what he did was wrong. Lucius had obviously guessed Bruce's identity. If he didn't kill him, Dante was considering Bruce. Otherwise, how could Lucius

To survive to this day.
Hearing Dante's words, Bruce raised his hands high and pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Can I say that I will not reveal your identity?"
"It's too late," Bruce said as he put on his nightgown, took two glasses of wine from Dante, handed one of them to Lucius himself, and then patted Lucius on the back with his free hand. : "We are a team now. I happen to have a lot of ideas about my equipment. Let's talk about it later."
Bruce smiled very naturally, and there was no trace of his vigilance or caution towards Lucius. However, Bruce would never simply accept Lucius to join his team.
Alfred took the wine glass handed over by Dante and looked at Dante with a wry smile: "Two things. First, pouring wine should be my job. Secondly, drinking in the morning is not good for your health. That's why I didn't pour it. Because of the wine, I’m not a lazy housekeeper.”
After speaking, Alfred raised the wine glass in his hand high and said loudly: "However, for Bruce's resurrection, I still hope that everyone can drink together."
Everyone raised the glasses in their hands as instructed, and the wine flowed down everyone's throats. Everyone had their own reasons for being happy. Alfred was happy that Bruce was safe, and Lucius was happy that he met his girlfriend. The big boss developed quite a relationship with him. Bruce was happy that the teacher saved him, but Dante was just happy and didn't bother to care why.
After finishing the glass of wine, Bruce placed the cup on the coffee table and turned to look at Dante.
"Teacher, did we discover anything new after I fell into coma last night?"
Bruce looked at Dante expectantly, but Dante shook his head gently, which made Bruce's heart sink.
"You should ask Lucius about this. He talks more than me." Dante refilled a glass of wine for himself and ate the pizza without olives baked by Alfred.
Alfred looked at Dante's eating appearance and was still scared. Who has ever seen a chef bake twenty pizzas at the same time and still not feed a single person after three rounds?
Bruce didn't pay attention to Afu's little eyes. He just looked at Lucius anxiously. Lucius picked up a few pages of information from the desk and handed them to Bruce.
"These are the information on the microwave transmitter. Wayne Group just lost one of these microwave transmitters. It can evaporate all the water in a considerable range in an instant and vaporize the liquid instantly."
"Damn" Bruce cursed fiercely: "Doesn't this mean that if this machine is obtained by the Shadow Warrior Alliance, as long as they turn on this machine in Gotham, the blood and body moisture of Gotham citizens will be destroyed. "Evaporate?"
"You're thinking too much." Lucius looked at Bruce speechlessly. He pointed to a place in the information and said, "This machine will only work on water below 20 degrees Celsius. The original intention of his design was to use To evaporate the enemy's water supply is not as cruel as you think."
"Huh" Bruce took a long breath: "That's okay, I thought this was a destructive weapon. For Gotham, destructive weapons are much more dangerous than strategic weapons. If it just evaporates the water supply, Gotham As a port city, the hazards of evaporating the water supply would not be too serious."
"However, I have analyzed the poison you were poisoned yesterday and the poison sample you brought back. The hallucinogenic poison will destroy the human nerve center within a certain period of time. Moreover, this poison can only be spread through the respiratory tract. Think of it as The lost microwave transmitter, I'm afraid, the people you say are targeting Gotham are probably tampering with the city's water pipes."
After Lucius finished speaking, he gently threw another pile of information to Lucius. These information were the pharmacology of the poison.
"Moreover," Lucius emphasized: "There is no perfect antidote for this poison. I can only make their neutralizer. The poison whose effect is reduced by the neutralizer has roughly the same effect as the drug. Bruce, you still To cooperate with me in conducting several tests and examinations, I must make sure that you have no signs of addiction.”
"Okay, that's no problem"
As Bruce spoke, he walked to the piano and pressed a black key and a white key. After the piano made a sound, the bookshelf opened out of thin air. Behind the secret door was the secret passage leading to the underground cave.
The four of them walked into the elevator and came to the cave together. Bruce couldn't wait to put on his armor.
"We must act immediately. The person who poisoned me last night is the chief physician of Arkham Asylum. Once we catch him, we will know his full plan."
After Bruce finished speaking, his armor was already put on. He patted Lucius on the shoulder and said helplessly.
"So, we can only wait until the matter is over before conducting the physical test. To be honest, I also want to take a rest, but the loss of the microwave transmitter makes me restless."
As soon as Bruce finished speaking, Dante grabbed his arm and placed him on the chair in the Batcave.
"So, I will go and have a good talk with Klein." Dante sneered and said, "I also want to see who the scarecrow you were dreaming about last night was."
After Dante finished speaking, without waiting for Bruce to answer, he turned around and left the basement, leaving the Batcave through the exit in the direction of the waterfall.
Bruce looked at Dante leaving blankly.
"Did I let him down last night?" Bruce murmured, which earned Ah Fu's laughter.
"Of course not," Afu said with a smile: "Dante always wanted to taste the fear poison last night. However, due to his strong fighting power, we cannot agree to his request. Once he is under the effect of the hallucinogenic drug, If he goes crazy, none of us can stop him."
Afu looked at Dante's back and shook his head gently: "This is the first time I have seen someone like him who desires fear so much."
