"..."

Even the omnipotent Batman has his moments of helplessness.

Chapter 77: The first day after leaving V, I miss her...

Wayne Building, 44th floor.

The old butler pushed open the door of 4405 and took Leo to visit the room.

The room, with a total area of about 180 square meters, is spacious and bright, with all kinds of facilities available. It is on par with the most luxurious presidential suite in a five-star hotel.

"All daily necessities are brand new. If you are not sure, there are unopened spare items in the storage room. You can take food and drinks in the refrigerator at will. If you need anything, please press the service bell at any time.

Because of your special status, the young master does not allow ordinary staff to pick you up. Leave anything to me."

Leo nodded: "I understand, then I promise not to disturb you after nine o'clock in the evening."

Alfred smiled gently. "Thank you for thinking of an old man like me. You don't know that my biological clock has been abnormal since I lived with the young master."

After a few pleasantries, he left the room, leaving behind only a special elevator card.

The special thing about this card is that it can only go to floors 44 and 45, and cannot go lower.

Leo was under house arrest under Batman's nose.

"That's fine, I'll just think of it as a paid jail term..."

After walking around the room, his prosthetic eye lit up and he began to "clean".

There are surveillance cameras installed by Batman everywhere, including the living room, office area, bedroom, bathroom, private cloakroom and storage room.

To be honest, if he were a woman, she would call the police and accuse Batman of secretly taking photos of her personal privacy, and it would definitely not be unfair to him.

What's even more outrageous is that some of the monitors are connected to the wireless network, while others work offline. If it weren't for his powerful Qilu Siyi Eyes, it would have taken a lot of effort just to find these annoying things.

After being busy for half an hour, he closed everything that could be closed, and blocked the things that could not be closed or were out of reach with things. Finally, he got a safe and private space.

"Hateful Batman, sooner or later I have to trick him and vent my anger!"

Leo sat at the desk and turned on the "old-time" computer.

The familiar Windows icon appeared on the screen, making him feel at home.

Being technologically backward also has its advantages. At least he is very good at using this operating system.

After Chunbai checked the computer information along the network cable and confirmed that it was safe, he connected to the personal link.

[We have found 37 system backdoors left by Batman. In theory, any operation you make will be backed up and archived in his data center.]

[Before today, he probably never thought of bringing me back here. ]

[Yes, so I guess these measures are not directed at you, but at everyone equally. ]

Batman...

Leo had nothing to say except "I admire you".

He really treats everyone as a suspect...

[Don't worry, my hacking skills are better than Batman's. If necessary, I can even reverse hack into his network security system. ]

[Don't... If you can do business properly, don't force it. As long as he doesn't get in our way, let's just be friendly neighbors. ]

【Considering the current situation in Gotham City, I completely agree with your point of view.】

The two chatted for a while, and Chunbai successfully transformed the computer into a temporary information terminal.

[Okay, now I can upload the data to the core computer room through this computer, and then forward it to the information terminal in Night City, so as to achieve smooth network connection between the two worlds.]

[Testing, forwarding data... Success. ]

[Adjust network band, optimize data structure, reduce network latency... Success. ]

Chunbai read out a long string of codes on his own like an emotionless AI, and finally gave the good news that it was ready.

[By the way, I have made a small chat program for you. The data is stored in the core computer room to ensure safety. Do you need to bring in the members of the Immortal Team? ]

[Of course, hurry up. It's almost eleven o'clock now, and I haven't reported that I'm safe yet. ]

The next second, a simple chat software page appeared on the left side of the artificial eye. Currently, only he and Chunbai were using this software.

[Wait a moment, I need them to grant me access rights so that I can get in... Well, there's a small problem. They don't trust me, and I can't force my own people. Please make a group call to them.]

【Row. 】

"Wu-hum-hum-"

Ding--

V answered instantly: "Leo?"

Leo opened his real-time avatar display and smiled at her: "Hey, V, long time no see."

V breathed a sigh of relief: "It's really you. I just received a strange communication and thought there was a problem on your end, so I followed the network cable and got it here."

"Not really. In fact, it went quite smoothly."

Ding--

Sasha also came in, but her profile picture was still the cartoon girl with cat ears.

"I'm so scared. If you don't call me, I'll start tracking you back. Are you okay?"

Leo had no choice but to say what he had just said again.

Ding--

Okay, this time it was Jack: "I'm still working as a bartender, a little slow, how are you doing?"

Leo: “…”

Saying the same thing three times is really a torture.

When they heard that everything was going well for him and that he invited everyone to join a group, they gave Chunbai permission.

Leo wanted to test the new software, so he made an appointment to go over there and talk.

After hanging up the phone, the social media app was already bustling with activity.

-

“Chunbai: Hello everyone, my name is Chunbai, and I’m a hacker. Since I’m working in a different place, I can’t meet you offline, so please bear with me.”

“V: Hello.”

"Jack: Hello, girl."

"Sasha: Hello, are you the hacker I fought with before? Can we practice together sometime?"

"Pure White: No problem. I'll have plenty of energy after this busy period."

"Leo: It seems that this software works well, and it can also send voice messages. If you have anything to say, you can just post it here, and I will reply when I am free."

"V: OK, so, what's the situation over there? Did you meet any important people?"

"Leo: I saw it. It's just as difficult as I imagined..."

They chatted excitedly for more than half an hour, until their eyelids began to feel heavy, and then Leo said goodbye.

"Leo: Let's talk tomorrow. I'm a little sleepy after a busy day. Good night, everyone."

After saying good night to each other, he went into the bathroom, took a quick shower, and lay down on the bed.

The duvet is as soft as air, and lying on it feels like being in the clouds

Leo took one last look out the window and closed his eyes.

"Goodnight, Gotham. Goodnight, Batman."

He did not sleep well that night and was always waking up from his dreams. Sometimes he dreamed of Batman standing by the window looking at him, and sometimes he dreamed of the Joker laughing crazily. Every time he opened his eyes and looked at the alarm clock, he found it was already midnight.

He missed V, really. At least when he lived under the same roof with V, he always slept soundly.

Compared to Gotham, where there is no one to turn to, Night City doesn't seem so bad...

First Show of Strength: Chapter 78 Leo: "Back then, I had a big fight with Batman and it was hard to tell who won!"

The next morning, Leo woke up from his dream.

V’s beautiful figure moved away from him, which made him feel sad.

After waking up, the first thing he did was not to open his eyes, but to look at the countdown to the crossing.

[6 days, 11:05:01]

I still have to stay in Gotham for six and a half days... I want to die.

After staying in bed for a while, he got up, washed, combed his hair, and then plunged into the beautiful world created by the electronic menu.

Almost all ingredients, except for protected animals, are on the menu provided by Wayne Tower, including those flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the sea.

It can be said that the thing that makes him most satisfied with Gotham City is that the food here is very rich and all natural!

"Hmm...Eating braised pork in the morning is too greasy, let's eat fried chicken, and add some honey mustard sauce. Even Saburo Arasaka can't have this delicacy!"

Because bees are extinct, it is said that the last jar of honey in the world collected from a real beehive is worth up to 300,000 euros by experts.

Yes, three hundred thousand euros...

Leo decided to bring back some large bottles of honey from the supermarket and let his friends taste the sweet taste of liquid gold.

As for selling it, that depends on the situation. He is not sure whether the thing is out of market, and explaining the source is also a troublesome matter.

All I can say is, try bringing a few dozen bottles first.

Even if a bottle only sells for 10,000, selling three bottles would be enough to hire V to serve him tea and water for a month. How wonderful!

After ordering breakfast, he leaned back on the leather sofa and admired the luxurious and elegant decoration in the room. Even though he didn't know much about art, he could tell that the paintings on the wall were worth a lot of money.

In less than ten minutes, the doorbell rang.

He jumped up, ready to enjoy the fried chicken dinner, but unfortunately the person waiting outside the door was not the old butler, but Bruce with a dissatisfied look on his face.

Of course, he wasn't here to deliver fried chicken...

"I, a wounded man, get up at eight o'clock, and you slept until half past nine?"

"It's nine o'clock. I have difficulty making choices. I have to think for a long time about what to eat every day."

Leo spoke nonsense with a numb face, feeling that Bruce's visit so early in the morning must be up to no good.

Sure enough, the good ones don’t work, but the bad ones work too well.

"Don't eat breakfast yet. An empty stomach is a good way to get a full body check-up. Leslie is waiting for you in the infirmary. Come with me."

As he said this, he turned sideways and put on a sullen face as if to say, "If you don't hurry up, I'll be rude."

Leo didn't know how to respond except rolling his eyes.

Later, the two walked into the elevator together, and Leo asked for conversation: "Why did you call Leslie by her name? At her age, shouldn't we call her aunt or grandma?"

Bruce seemed to be recalling some unpleasant past events, and the corners of his mouth were stretched.

After a moment's silence, he said softly, "If you can't bring yourself to call all women older than you 'sister', it's best to just call them by their names, or 'Ms.' The two titles you mentioned are like insults to them."

Leo realized: "As expected of Gotham's richest man, Playboy, you understand so well!"

Bruce ignored him and remained cool.

Leo really wanted to say something starting with "Rachel", but he was worried that Rachel would get angry and not buy his product, so he had to keep this trump card.

To be honest, he was really curious - if Harvey hadn't become Two-Face and was still the "Knight of Light" in Gotham City, who would have worn the green hat that Rachel had personally given him?

Even if it was just to know the answer, he would help Harvey.

One more righteous hero and one less super villain will also be good for his business in Gotham.

The brief thought ended with the ringing of the elevator bell.

He followed Bruce to the infirmary in the corner.

Leslie, dressed in a white coat, was ready to debug various medical instruments so that they were ready for use.

Thinking of the teachings of "Playboy" Bruce, Leo raised his hand and greeted: "Good morning, Sister Leslie!"
