Every street, every building, Batman recalled everything, and it didn't take long before he came to the first address recorded on the sticky note.
He didn't know that the note was left to the Joker by graves but simply understood it as another conspiracy of the Joker. Although he doesn't want to be led by Joker, but he has no other clues.
The location where Bruce is now is an abandoned factory in the industrial area of Gotham City. Since the overall environment of Gotham has been relatively chaotic in recent years, many large companies have chosen to leave and invest in other cities, so there are many abandoned factories like this one.
Most of them have become gathering places for gangsters and contraband dealers.
Apparently, this is one of them.
As soon as Bruce stopped the Batmobile, a few gangster-looking people walked out of the gloomy dilapidated factory building and surrounded him with bad expressions.
"Batman, you make us wait for a long...."
Before the words were finished, several people took out the pistols in their arms and fired frantically at Bruce. However, the marksmanship of these guys is average, the distance between the two sides is only ten meters, and most of the firepower is poured on the wall behind Batman.
Looking at their baggy clothes, exaggerated ornaments, and bizarre colorful hairstyles, it is not surprising that they use this kind of marksmanship.
Bruce guessed that this group of people should be a group of mobs who were lured by the Joker with something, so they dared to trouble him.
in the hail of bullets, he knocked down these mobs on the streets. Batman, who was only slightly injured, pressed the leading mob against the wall to ask for information.
"Who sent you to stay here!"
The converted voice was full of oppression, coupled with his godlike performance just now, it directly scared the head of the mobs who usually only sneak around.
He said nonchalantly, "it's Boss Andy! He asked us to wait for you here."
"As long as I can stop you, I can become his immediate assistant. "
"There are things he left for you in the factory. I don't know about the rest. Please, don't kill me."
"Andy Robbins?" Batman continued to ask.
The gang leader who was about to pee his pants hurriedly nodded: "Yes, it's him. He did it all, and it has nothing to do with me."
Bruce knocked him unconscious with a punch and walked into the factory building.
On the way, he was still thinking about it. When he heard the name of Andy Robbins, he knew that Graves must be doing something behind it. Andy was just a scapegoat he introduced.
But why did the clues left by the Joker relate to Graves? Did they cooperate?
Batman, who was inexplicably agitated, quickened his pace, wanting to see what the two villains had left him.
By the way, he didn't forget to complain about those mobs who were still crying on the ground, he didn't leave anyone to attack him in the factory building.
In the dark and cold workshop, what graves left was very conspicuous.
On the cracked wooden table, there is a huge vintage-style wooden box. he doesn't know which medieval store he bought it from. It is covered with small shiny lanterns.
Bruce suddenly felt like he was playing a game. After killing the monster guarding the treasure chest, he could get the final reward.
Pulling off the colored lights above, he slowly opened the box. A dazzling golden light suddenly flashed inside, and Bruce, who had been prepared for a long time, quickly dodged.
Unexpectedly, there is no hidden weapon inside the box, but a powerful flashlight that glows, creating a feeling of golden light.
After waiting for a while, after confirming that it was safe, Batman slowly approached and observed the contents of the box. There were two things in it.
Another note and a slender finger.
There was a ring on the broken finger that had lost its vitality and was slightly gray, and the ring belonged to Rachel.
Bruce couldn't help but catch his breath and hurriedly picked it up, only to find that it was just a tricky toy, it was just too realistic.
But the ring above is indeed owned by Rachel.
Now he can basically be sure that the mastermind behind it is the Graves.
Then he picked up the note in the box, which still had an address on it, and it was the same address that was found on the body of Gordon.
It seemed that Graves had anticipated in advance that the first two notes would all fall into his hands. At the same time, there is a sentence left on the note.
"Hey, dear Bruce, how about we play a game?"
"Hide and seek, you find me and I hide."
After reading this sentence, Batman immediately walked out of the factory building, rode on the Batmobile, and went to the location of the third note.
It was obviously a conspiracy against him, but Bruce went without hesitation. It's not that he didn't think about using other methods, but he ran out of time. This time the finger is fake, but what about next time? What if it was replaced with other parts?
If it can be confirmed that Rachel is dead, maybe he will not be so passive and will think of other ways to capture the Joker and Graves to avenge Rachel, but now he is not sure.
So, Batman quickly came to the second location. This is a warehouse full of goods, the property of those Gotham gangsters, but they can't protect themselves now, and they have no time to take care of it.
Just like last time, he was in front of the door of the warehouse, when a group of thugs with live ammunition came out.
"Batman, you are too slow!" the leading mob yelled at him. Bruce felt that this wave of people were far stronger than the previous mobs, and their ferocity could not be covered. They were a group of desperadoes who had killed people. And, several of them were prisoners who escaped from Arkham.
It's not difficult to deal with them. Batman catches them once, so he doesn't mind a second time. Just five minutes later, all the mobs were already lying on the ground, all in a coma, but he was also injured.
His left arm and shoulder were hit by bullets, which were not fatal, but affected his movements somewhat.
Because Bruce is wearing a newly developed bat suit, which has more flexibility and insufficient defense and can barely withstand small-caliber bullets.
After briefly treating the wound, he walked into the warehouse. Another big box, although the style is different, the layout is the same.
He still carefully opened the box, ready to dodge at any time, but the result was the same as before, it was just an ordinary box.
There are two items inside the box, a fourth note, and a coin. On the note, there is still an address and a sentence.
"It seems that you are ready for the 'trial', I hope you can reach the end."
As for the coin, Bruce is also very familiar with it.
It was one of Gotham City's commemorative coins released in 1922 that once belonged to Harvey Dent.
