Twenty-four. Red GhostTwenty-three/100

Cocktail parties, this is a way of communication in the upper class. Many times, high-ranking officials and nobles need to put serious matters on less serious occasions in order to reach an agreement. At other times, a cocktail party is for some special occasions. Compared with the first occasion, the second one is more casual.

Of course, any cocktail party cannot be purely for entertainment. You have to admit that people in the upper class do everything for a purpose.

The cocktail party held at Wayne Mansion later than today is for Gotham’s rising star, the bright knight Harvey Dent who brings hope. Bruce Wayne, the out-and-out son of Gotham, wants to Harvey raised a sum of money to support Harvey's "No Bail Act", which was set up separately for the environment where the Gotham Gangs grow.

According to Harvey’s vision, once the crime is found in a city harassed by conservative gangs and reaches a certain limit, criminals will not be entitled to bail for 5 years. Obviously, if this bill is If the state court passes, Gotham's public security environment will immediately rise to a higher level.

But in this country, money is inseparable for the progress of everything, so even though Harvey Dent does not like this kind of staggered occasion, he has to come and recruit enough funds for the advancement of the "Dante Act." At this point, he is extremely grateful to Bruce Wayne, the famous Gotham playboy and world-famous rich man.

But what worries Harvey a bit is the relationship between Rachel Dawes and Bruce Wayne he is pursuing. Rachel has a special affection for Bruce Wayne. Harvey has always known this, despite her performance. It's ridiculous, but it is obvious that in Rachel's mind, Bruce Wayne is not a dispensable person.

This is also the reason why Harvey pursued it for a year, but he did not get Rachel's favor, but things are not without progress. They have been dating several times recently, and it can be seen that Rachel has begun to accept him.

This is a good thing, coupled with the recent arrest of the gang, Harvey has always been in a good mood.

"I said, probably in the future I will often participate in such activities."

Bruce Wayne was choosing clothes for tonight’s reception with Alfred’s help. He said to the old butler with a slight smile,

"Harvey did a good job. Once his bill is passed, I can "free" and live my own life."

There was a sense of helplessness on his face, "I really don't like the life of a playboy."

Alfred also smiled, "Of course, I have been looking forward to this day, you see, master, I am already very old, I now desperately hope that I can retire, and then move to Italy or Rome, enjoy You can also learn how to manage a company with Lucius for the life that an old man should have. After all, Wayne Industries is your family business."

"Ah, forgive me, old Afu, if you want to, I will go crazy."

He smiled, "By the way, how is the decoration of my hometown?"

Alfred thought for a while, "It's about 3-4 months. You know, Wayne Castle is a large building and it's not so easy to repair. Why, don't you like the life in Wayne Mansion?"

"I can't talk about liking or not..."

Bruce stood on the edge of the 25th floor of the Wayne Building, looking at the brightly lit city below, a smile appeared on his mouth, with a hint of anticipation.

"I just wondered whether my wedding with Rachel could be placed in Wayne Castle, so that the ancestors of the Wayne family could see their descendants getting married, and continue the history of the Wayne family, Ah Fu... I think it's time for me Freed from another life."

"Gotham already has a hero under the light, a brave man who can protect the city without wearing a mask, the righteous man, Harvey Dent, and people like him and call him the knight of light. He used legal means to solve all the things I could not solve, so let Batman become history, it can't bring hope, and Harvey can.

Anxiety flashed across the old butler’s face, he fiddled with his bow tie, and whispered,

"But Rachel has been very close to Harvey recently..."

Bruce smiled and turned his head. He patted the shoulders of the remaining family members and smiled gently.

"What's wrong, Afu, are you worried that Rachel will be cheated by Harvey? Are you so unsure of my charm? I agreed with her, after I become Bruce Wayne, we will have A good time...in the name of husband and wife."

"Hey, you young people's affairs, you can solve it yourself."

Ah Fu smiled and tied the bow tie to Bruce, then moved his shoulders and whispered,

"I'll go over there and take a look. Lucius is there today to help you upgrade the data of that detector. I will come back with him. Before I come back, you have to organize this reception."

"Isn't it?"

Bruce said with a headache, "I wouldn't know anything about these things without you."

"You are not even afraid of the vicious gangsters. Are you still afraid of getting along with these rich people?"

Ah Fu quipped, "The owner of the Wayne family can't be so weak."

"Trust me, Afu, the gangsters are much easier to deal with than them."

Bruce smiled and hugged the old butler, "Come back early."

Ten minutes later, Alfred walked into the abandoned factory building of Wayne Industries in the wharf area. As usual, he walked into the dim warehouse and pressed a series of codes. The floor of the warehouse sank, not too bright. In the underground, he saw Lucius sitting busy in front of the computer from a distance. The current executive officer of Wayne Industries, at this time, would become Batman’s assistant to help him maintain his combat Criminal black technology.

"Lucius, we have to end the work here early tonight. The wine party at Bruce may require you to speak on stage. You know, my young master has never been very good at this kind of activity. He almost ruined it last time. The reputation of the Wayne family."

Ah Fu took off his coat and put it in his hand, talking babblingly, but he didn’t get Lucius’ response. The instinct of the once ace mercenary made Ah Fu feel wrong, and he approached Lucius cautiously , His left hand stretched out to the dark room by the wall, trying to hold the pistol for self-defense.

But... he felt empty.

"Dear Alfred, are you looking for this?"

A familiar voice sounded from behind him, and Alfred's face suddenly changed at this moment. He didn't look back, he knew who it was. He said in an angry voice,

"Syber! We have not offended you! We are a cooperative relationship. Are you going to hurt your friend now?"

"No, no, I never hurt my friend, you are my friend, so is Lucius, so is Bruce..."

Saibo, wearing a baseball cap and a black trench coat, walked out of the shadow behind him, walked to Ah Fu, helped him adjust his collar, and put the pistol in Ah Fu’s hands. Lucius with a wry smile also raised his hands and turned around. In the space next to the computer with a large mask, Selena stood up with a pistol and also wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap.

"Afu, I just need a little help from you."

Saibo Chen Ken said, "The Joker is here, the madman is here for Batman, and I have some "personal" conflicts with him... I am happy to help your young master solve that trouble, but I need a set of Protect my armor from the rain of bullets and violent explosions."

Old Ah Fu stared at him slantingly and said viciously,

"So you ran over to "borrow"? In this threatening way?"

Saibo shrugged, with a helpless expression on his face.

"What can I do? You see, I killed so many people. If Bruce knew that I was still alive, he would definitely come and "theory" with me. You know, he was quite stubborn in this regard. , Even those scumbags."

He narrowed his eyes, approached Alfred, and whispered in his ear,

"Afu, judging from your wise life experience, do you really think that leaving a life of a mad dog like the Joker is the right choice? Batman will not kill him, he will only bury himself...but I Yes, I can kill him mercilessly and let this hidden danger disappear completely. Don’t forget the story you told me. The lunatic has already made it clear that it’s for Bruce. Look, Brother Afu, me and You care about my buddy Bruce as much."

There was a sneer at the corner of Cyber's mouth.

"So cooperate, Alfred, I will help him solve this problem completely, just tonight!"

Alfred's expression became serious. He took a step back and looked at Cyber ​​with a trace of distrust. After thinking for a moment, he asked,

"You mean, the clown will be here tonight?"

"Yes, the Joker left three targets, namely the idiot Lauper, Judge Cereiro and Harvey Dent. Lauper is probably dead. We saved Cereiro, and now Harvey Dent is in the Wayne Building, and the clown will definitely come."

Cyber ​​chuckled, "He "speaks and counts", doesn't he? He will force Bruce to take off his mask. That lunatic wants to do that. He wants to make Batman public. He wants to destroy Bruce! We can let him. Do this? We can't!"

He took a deep breath and spread his hands.

"If you don't trust me, Afu, come on and shoot me to death. If you care about your young master's reputation, then cooperate with me and "lend" Bruce's spare armor to me."

"You know, I have enough ability to settle this trouble."

He glanced back at Lucius and made an unfriendly gesture.

"I've had enough of my monkey version of the gadget. I can't wait to need a genuine, real combat gadget! Okay, my little baby, put down the gun. Look, you scared Mr. Lucius. What has happened...Apologize to him, okay?"

Selena put down her gun reluctantly. For this 16-year-old girl, she was excited enough to be able to come to the secret base of Batman, but because of the conversation between Cyber ​​and Afu Because of the voice, she still doesn't know the identity of Batman.

In fact, no normal person would unite Batman who is a hero in the night with the world-famous rich man, and Selena scoffs at such nonsense.

Lucius was free. He looked at Selena, and at Saibo, and said quietly,

"Your little girlfriend is very hot, and she is a perfect match for you, a violent person."

"Well, this is just a misunderstanding. Don't be angry, Brother Lucius!"

Saibo pushed a few steps away at the sign of Afu, rubbing his hands in excitement, watching Afu press three times in a hidden place by the wall. At this moment, the closely-fitting ground rose and a glass cabinet was hidden. Among them, that is a complete set, the latest bat armor after Lucius modified 4 times.

Cyber ​​went around the armor several times, then checked the time on the phone and said to Lucius,

"Enough time, buddy, let's modify this dark thing to make it more in line with my aesthetics... dark red, melee weapons, guns, yes... the mask is no longer needed, I Brought my old one. I always like to use old things."

Cyber ​​took out the ghost face that was distorted in the previous explosion from behind. The flames and explosions messed up the painting on its surface. The dark red was stripped off a lot. It looked like a broken face of a devil, but it was It looked more ferocious than before, and the black trace left in the flames was like three claw marks.

After Cyber ​​took on that ghost face, even Alfred had to admit that, in addition to the previous weirdness, he added a more ferocious, crazier, and more frightening aura to Cyber.

Cyber's voice distorted by the voice changer resounded in this bat cave. He looked at the battle armor being quickly changed by Lucius with some complicated device, and said quietly,

"I think, I would call it... the red ghost, the ghost that crawled out of death... I like this name. By the way, my knife is still stored in Harvey. I have to find a chance to get it back. He I won't refuse...Yes."
