Playing My Own Character Chapter 7

Two o'clock in the afternoon, Wayne Manor.

"Good evening, Mr. Wayne." Alfred put the plate in his hand on the dining table without raising his head: "If you get up just a few minutes later, you can eat tonight's special grilled lamb chops. "

Bruce, who stayed up all night yesterday:...

Knowing he was in the wrong, he wisely kept silent, walked down the stairs, sat in front of the dinner plate, and began to eat his breakfast.

A black head popped up on the sofa not far away: "Hey, Bruce, did you find any clues last night?"

D!ck, whose full name is Richard John Grayson, is ostensibly an ordinary policeman working in Bludhaven. He is quite good-looking and physically capable. His parents died unexpectedly many years ago, and his adoptive father is Gotham's richest man, Bruce. ·Wayne. In terms of appearance, personality and family background, he can be called a high-quality man in the world. Unfortunately, because he often lets his girlfriend go, he updates his girlfriend very quickly. His secret identity is the vigilante "Nightwing" who operates at night. He beats people like a Taiko master, making a loud bang with the kali stick.

Last night's Gotham was much calmer than the previous few days, probably because after the Scarecrow's poisonous gas attack yesterday, everyone was still sleeping peacefully in bed and sleeping like a baby (the amount of poisonous gas this time was somewhat large). The gods above are not online, and everyday criminals are trying to save their lives, fainting, or even cherishing their lives. Yesterday, Batman and Nightwing, who came over temporarily, only prevented less than twenty emergencies-- --- Even most of the cases are ordinary small-dose drug transactions. Who knows, the buyers and sellers who just wanted to buy a little fun last night turned around and found a dark Batman standing in the alley, on the roof of the building. What kind of terrible mental shock did he experience at that moment when he stood on top of Nightwing.

The free time of the vigilantes was spent investigating information and watching surveillance cameras. Batman's desire to control Gotham allowed him to continue the background check on the new young lady that was interrupted yesterday. At first glance, this young lady’s background seemed reasonable. She was a young lady from an established aristocratic family who lost her family and came to the United States with her inheritance to start a new life. Except that she couldn’t imagine coming to Gotham to start a new life, she was still within the normal range.

What is suspicious is that the deaths of her relatives are extremely strange.

D!ck used the laptop he brought to hack into the British police database and found a document labeled [Capulet Case]. The document recorded some conversations between the police and Chloe, photos and photos of the crime scene. Autopsy results. He played the conversation recording on his computer, transferred other files to the Batcomputer, and began to analyze the strange photos with Bruce.

['You said you had no idea what was going on, right? ']

The first photo is of a collapsed manor house. The broken stone pillars look like broken bones from a distance, looming under the dark brown wooden boards. Based on the distribution of house debris and traces of dust at the scene, the two vigilantes at the scene noticed something was wrong almost immediately.

"It looks like something broke through the entire building from the inside out." D!ck frowned, "...To bring down such a big house, the thing must be thirty meters high. "

['Yes, I was resting in the bedroom on the second floor. I went downstairs when the house started shaking, and when I saw no one, I ran out and called for help. ']

['You said you didn't see anyone? ']

['Um. ']

The eleventh photo shows pieces of human limbs and an unknown red semi-fluid that were cleaned up from under the surface of the ruins. Some of them were limp and stuck to the ruins, proving how much damage this collapsed house could produce at that moment. Only pressure can crush living human beings into remains whose faces cannot be seen.

['You have in your hand most of the property certificates belonging to Capulet. When did you get this? ']

['When the earthquake first started, my bedroom was very close to my father's study. I only helped my parents take away the documents that were more complicated to process, and these were far from the so-called majority of the property. ']

['At that time, you still want to take away documents with more complicated reissue procedures? ']

['Ah...after all I want to make it easier for my parents to file the paperwork. ']

D!ck could tell from Batman's taut chin that he didn't believe the recording. The female voice with a cold tone didn't sound like she was very close to her parents. If she insisted on speaking, she could even feel a bit cold. And Miss Capulet's financial situation is so good that she can easily buy a manor where former celebrities lived. If you compare it with the recording that only took away a small part of the property, you will come to the conclusion that the information does not match.

"She was lying." Batman's lips moved. "She knew that her parents would not survive, so she simply grabbed all the valuable items she could on the way to escape."

"Prepared, but not particularly prepared." Nightwing shrugged and pretended to be relaxed: "It sounded more like she had thought about doing this and planned it. But before she could implement it, the house suddenly collapsed "

['Is there anything special about your parents in your impression? For example, religious beliefs. ']

['religion? I remember they were often in the news for donating money to the Catholic Church. ']

['What about the Catholic Bishop? ']

['Sorry, I'm not sure. ']

The twenty-eighth photo is of a basement with most of the area buried. You can vaguely see the red linear traces on the stone floor tiles that have been mostly wiped away by dust. There are still many things in the middle of the basement that you can’t tell what they are. Raw food, half-solidified yellow candles leaning in the corner, the whole thing looks like some unknown ritual. The next photo was taken by the investigators using a drone. The remaining red traces on the floor tiles looked like a broken magic circle in the sky, exuding a vague evil aura.

"Call Zatanna?"

"I've sent her the picture."

The thirty-fifth photo is full of the remains of the victims, but the postures of these remains are distorted and the shapes are weird, not like the movements that a person who died instantly can do. What’s even weirder is that, rather than being human beings, they look more like people who have undergone failed limb surgery in a non-standard hospital.

"God, this person's arms look like octopus arms." D!ck squinted his eyes, trying to identify the human tissue that was almost fused together in the picture, "And the one on the right, is it my eyesight that's wrong or is she really the whole picture?" His face turned into a lump of meat?"

Batman's already tense jaw tightened even more.

This case is by no means simple. Miss Capulet, who seemed to have just escaped by good luck, accurately brought out most of her family property, her extremely abnormal indifference towards her relatives, the red traces and 'sacrifice' remaining in the basement. , mainly concentrated on the abnormal corpses in the center of the basement, including Capulet’s head of the house, his wife, the eldest son and the youngest son.

Chloe, who was the only one to leave safely, is highly suspicious, but I don't know whether she was the mastermind behind everything, or whether it was simply because she had a bad relationship with her relatives that she decisively abandoned everyone when she felt something was wrong.

"Hey, B!" Zatanna's video call popped up in the upper right corner of the Batcomputer. The beautiful black-haired magician looked worried in the camera: "Where did you get this photo?"

"It's from a case I'm pursuing." Batman continued to flip through the files, frowning at the obviously low number of photos of the scene.

For a case like this involving a large number of people and areas, there can be more than 300 scene photos and evidence photos, but the total number of photos in this electronic document is less than 100. What's even more outrageous is that in such a case, Chloe, the biggest suspect, actually came to the United States from the United Kingdom in less than a month, and even bought a house in Gotham, which is puzzling. Is the National Security Agency all laid off or is it finally going on strike like the French?

"...An unknown ritual was once performed in the basement in this photo." Zatanna crossed her arms, "It feels to me like an exchange ritual with an evil god, the kind where you pay a price , the other party will give you what you want. The ritual food and candles in this photo can also support my conjecture. Unfortunately, the magic circle is too damaged... I can't see which evil god the ritual is for. "

The Batcave suddenly became silent.

To be fair, Gotham's specialty is all kinds of criminals. Immortal weapons, capitalists, and animal men all have their place, but those who are stained by evil gods are another matter---One example is the clown, who has alcohol. With the God Factor, he can repair his body at a terrifying speed. From the time he became the 'Joker' to today, he has caused a large number of casualties and building damage in Gotham. The second Robin died at his hands, and Barbara can only sit down in this life. In a wheelchair, he is a walking humanoid virus. The Bat family, who abides by the principle of not killing, is often passive when facing the clown. Even if he is sent to Arkham, he will receive news of his escape soon, followed by a series of horrific cases.

Now another person who is suspected of being related to the evil god has come to Gotham. This is undoubtedly a test of Batman's sensitivity. D!ck feels in his heart that Miss Capulet is about to receive Batman's full investigation--including The kind of inquiry into her previous eating habits.

During the heated discussion (?) in the Batcave, Aria Yu, after a good sleep, felt that her head no longer ached and her waist was no longer sore, and she could beat the three Riddlers at any time.

She yawned, put on her coat and went downstairs holding on to the railing.

"It's half past five in the afternoon, Master." The butler appeared behind Aria Yu silently, "Do you need to eat now?"

Aria Yu, who felt like she only had to eat and sleep today, said: "...That's fine. Sorry to bother you."

The dinner was a steak that was cooked to medium-rare, and Aria Yu could cut it without using too much force. The side dishes were simple stir-fried vegetables, and the dessert was a small portion of cheesecake topped with blueberry sauce. Aria Yu was greatly shocked by the meal. The food prepared by the butler was even more delicious than the professional western restaurants she had eaten in. She felt that if the butler opened a restaurant, it would definitely be ranked top one in Gotham!

Aria Yu gnawed happily, feeling that the yacht party the day after tomorrow was not so scary.

"Speaking of which, is it popular here to wear backless long skirts at banquets?" Aria Yu drank water, barely freeing her mouth to speak, "Do I need to prepare for this?"

"Normal women will indeed buy suitable clothes and accessories, and also choose the type of perfume. Finally, they will also hire a makeup artist to apply makeup. The above is my simplified preparation process." The housekeeper looked at Aria Yu expression, "It seems you don't agree with this."

Aria Yu really doesn’t want to follow the above process.

To be precise, if she were here in her true form, she would be happy to have a miraculous and warm experience, but unfortunately, [Chloe]'s original character and possible accidents must be taken into consideration.

Let alone the backless dress, perfume alone is not something that [Chloe] would use at all. She has a sensitive sense of smell and will get dizzy if she smells too strong a perfume, let alone spraying perfume on her own. Long skirts and high heels are also not allowed. If there is an accident on the yacht, you will not be able to run at all. You can consider accessories such as light earrings and thin bracelets that are convenient for movement.

"Long skirts, high heels, and perfume are not enough." Aria Yu decided decisively, "Pick me a set of clothes that is easy to move around. It's almost the same as the one I'm wearing now. Get a few single-sided ear clips and bracelets, and I'll do it myself. select."

The butler received the order and turned around to make a phone call. Aria Yulao felt that she gave people the impression that she could teleport directly to the mall and teleport back after buying things. It was a bit funny to see her on the phone so suddenly.

"Then I have to start making other preparations." Aria Yu pinched her chin and said to herself.

"Let me think about it... I have it! Let's do it!"
