Chapter 3314 Bloodshed in New City (Sixty-three)
The street next to the warehouse where the municipal building was originally located? Isn't that the place where Schiller mentioned the mutant flying python appeared? It's a street full of drug addicts, so it's not surprising that some magical phenomena appeared there.
Although Schiller knew who the priest was, he did not intend to use his knowledge of the plot to find him directly. This seemed to be inconsistent with Schiller's pursuit of high efficiency, but in fact it was because just finding the person was useless.
When Schiller talked to someone, he was always sure that he could get him to talk, otherwise he would not go at all.
Negotiations are meaningful only when you have bargaining chips in your hand. Showing up without bargaining chips will only expose your information, which can be regarded as aiding the enemy. Schiller will not do such a stupid thing.
This priest played a very important role in the original plot. It can be said that he was the one who caused all the trouble in the Pale Knight comic universe. If he didn't get involved, there would be nothing to worry about.
The more troublesome thing is that this priest is not a human being. He pretends to be a human and his name is Jason Blood, but in fact his real name is Itlegan, and he is a demon.
The character definition of this demon is relatively neutral. He has done a lot of bad things in the past, but he is not the kind of villain who is unforgivable. And he is not even a fun person. It seems that he has lived too long and has nothing to do.
It would take some effort to get the bargaining chips to negotiate with him. Therefore, even if Schiller knew the specific address, he still had to check step by step to see if he could find more clues.
Schiller drove to Bourbon Street. There were drug stores everywhere. Homeless people who had passed out from drug addiction could be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys. Groups of zombie-like people stared at every passerby with blank eyes.
Brad is a business genius for choosing to open a pharmacy in this place.
The street was not long, and there were only a few alleys on both sides. Schiller went around every alley, but found nothing except a bunch of drug vendors.
Finally, Schiller stopped a vendor and asked him if there were any ruins nearby. The vendor wanted money, but after looking at Schiller's clothes, he swallowed and said, "There are no ruins in the city. But the building in front was blown down several years ago. No one repaired it for a long time. It was only rebuilt recently."
Schiller looked in the direction he pointed and saw a five- or six-story building. It seemed to be an office building for a building materials company.
He walked through the alley and was about to go around the building when he was blocked by a few homeless people.
Schiller didn't want to waste time with them, but he was worried that Brad was nearby, so he didn't want to use the gray fog. He turned around and walked out of the alley.
Unexpectedly, this group of people kept chasing him. Fortunately, they were overdosed on drugs and their legs were not flexible, so Schiller got rid of them by circling around.
Walking back into the alley again, Schiller saw a man lying in the deepest part of the alley. He was shaking in agony, and it was obvious that he was suffering from drug addiction.
Schiller knew he didn't have much time left. When he walked over, the man tried to pull his trousers. Schiller took out two capsules from his pocket.
The other party threw it into his mouth without even looking at it. Soon his face became very peaceful and he fell asleep.
After walking around the office building, Schiller did not find any signs of magic. When he came back, he ran into the group of homeless people again.
"Hey! What did you give him?" The leader looked at Schiller with greedy eyes and said, "You bought medicine, right? We have rules here. You have to share some with us."
Schiller took out a capsule from his pocket and said, "My medicine is very powerful. Are you sure you want to use it?"
"Stop talking nonsense, give it to me!" The leader grabbed the capsules. Each person took two capsules and threw them into their mouths with shaking hands. Before the drug took effect, they showed an expression of enjoyment.
A few seconds later, there were several "thumps", and the homeless fell to the ground one after another and fell into a peaceful sleep.
Schiller shook his head and stepped over them. He was going to drive to the church.
After he left, the sky gradually darkened. The end of the alley suddenly changed, becoming like a noisy medieval street, and the building became a Victorian building with a pointed roof. Soon, a man walked out of the door.
He was wearing a black suit and was tall. He had black hair but a streak of red and white hair on his forehead. He was gentle and elegant, and there was nothing special about him.
He walked to the entrance of the alley and squatted down to check on the homeless people. A magical glow appeared in his palm. But no matter what he did, these people showed no signs of waking up.
He stood among the fallen people with a frown on his face, feeling somewhat puzzled, but he still dragged all the fallen people back into the building, as if he was going to study carefully what was going on.
In Wayne Manor, Batman was also looking at the unconscious Jason with a worried look on his face. Doctor Tompkins had just come, but he was helpless with Jason's condition and could not find out why Jason was in a coma.
Jason is in a coma, Fox is injured in a car accident, the Pale Knight is assassinated, Gordon resigns...
Batman found that the people he was close to were leaving him one by one. He was like a helpless driftwood, drifting on the sea, unable to reach the shore, and unable to sink to the bottom.
At this time, Batman thought of Alfred again. But simple nostalgia was not enough, Batman thought of the relics Alfred left him.
Batman took out the small box and opened it to find an ancient diary and a whip that looked like it was made of bat skin.
He put down the whip first and opened the diary, and found that it was the diary of his ancestor Edmund Wayne.
It records that a plague swept through London and wiped out the Wayne family. The only remaining descendant of the Wayne family, Edmund Wayne, inherited the title of Lord Wayne, but could no longer live in London, so he had to follow the fleet to the New World.
Here, he defeated the corrupt warlord Arkham, brought a new peace to Gotham Valley, and re-established the Wayne family.
It looks ordinary, Batman thought. It's not because the story is not magnificent, but mainly because as Alfred's legacy, there is really nothing to miss.
There must be a reason why Alfred left this to him. Batman kept flipping through the diary.
He found an important character in the diary, named Bakar.
Bakar seems to be a pastor of a church. It was he who suggested to Edmund that he go to the New World to try his luck. Together, the two of them took a boat to Gotham Valley and defeated the evil General Arkham.
However, the second half of the diary is vague about Bakar's whereabouts. Batman infers from Edmund Wayne's tone that he should have broken up with Bakar.
Such stories were common in that era. Although the new world was a big pie, there were only a few good places.
Although Gotham Valley was a paradise for pirates and smugglers at the time, it was also a port with natural geographical advantages. It was normal for Edmund Wayne to want to monopolize it.
After reading the diary, Batman's questions were not answered, but more new questions arose.
The most important one is - where did Alfred get the diary and why did he give it to him?
Just as Batman was thinking, there was a knock on the door of his study. Nightwing walked in and said, "Batman, you have to see this."
He handed a document to Batman, who took it and took a look at it before his eyes widened.
"This is the medical record of Alfred that Batgirl and I found. The frequency of his instrument examinations was obviously abnormal. After checking the surveillance footage, we found that the laboratory doctor and nurse who performed the physical examination on him showed obvious signs of being absent from duty."
"We wanted to investigate the hospital, but it was destroyed. But later we found in the Wayne Group's purchasing records that all the equipment in the laboratory of Wayne Hospital came from a medical equipment manufacturing company called Odein."
"We also found that nine of the 16 medical staff employed by the laboratory had received funding from this company. These nine people had the most records of leaving their posts without leave."
Batman stood up in a flash. He tightly grasped the information in his hand. Nightwing said before he could speak: "I know it may be hard for you to believe. I couldn't accept this fact at first. But the evidence is here - there is definitely something wrong with Alfred's death."
Batman's arms began to tremble, and he tried to calm down. Then he asked, "What else did you find out?"
"Batgirl and I focused on investigating a medical equipment manufacturing company called Odein. It is a British company headquartered in London. The X-ray detection equipment it produces is the best on the market and is favored by various hospitals."
"There doesn't seem to be any problem with the procurement, and the procedures are reasonable. But we don't know if there is any problem with the equipment itself. The hospital was destroyed and our investigation was forced to be interrupted."
Nightwing took a step forward and said, "If someone really killed Alfred on purpose, then there must be a shocking conspiracy behind it. Batman, you have to cheer up, even for Alfred."
Batman has completely regained his composure. He silently looked at the information collected by Nightwing, and suddenly remembered the diary.
His eyes kept moving between the two, guessing the relationship between them. But soon, his eyes stopped at the pattern at the bottom of the profile page.
That was the logo of the Ordine Medical Equipment Manufacturing Company, a circular badge with four arrows pointing to the center of the circle, and the company name "ORDAIN" written in the middle.
The main plot of the original work came to an abrupt end, so some expansion was done.
