Chapter 204
Reuniting with people who have been separated for hundreds of years is always a pleasant thing, even though it is not a true reunion.
"Alexander!" Thor was surprised and delighted, "I haven't seen you for many years, old friend, how are you? I came to look for Carl, but it seems that no one has lived here for a long time. Have you moved?"
"Carl moved to the Metropolis after he was 20, sir."
"Metropolis, I remember that city, I heard about it from Carl." Thor nodded slightly, "I should have guessed at that time that he would choose to settle in that place. When he talked about Metropolis, he was full of praise. First That aside, Alexander, I have a tough battle to fight, and before that I want to see Karl. Give me your address, and I'll go right there."
Alexander did not answer Thor's question: "I take the liberty to ask, do you want to see Karl right away, or do you plan to make an appointment with him to wait for him?"
"What is Karl's urgent matter now?" Thor asked back, "If there is an urgent matter, I will wait, if not, then I will go to him."
"He's really caught up in some mundane stuff right now, but it's not urgent. If you really want to see him soon, you can go to Gotham City—Carl is visiting his friends in Gotham."
That's why Thor heads to Gotham in the middle of the night.
Gotham City is a highly enclosed city, surrounded by water, and only one bridge connects it with the metropolis. Although Thor can fly across the bay, he keeps in mind not to show his uniqueness on the earth. Different from this.
It took him a while to find the right way. For some reason, no matter how friendly the people he stopped were at the beginning, as soon as they heard him ask "How to get to Gotham City", their expressions changed drastically, and they hurried He hurriedly pointed him in a direction, and then avoided it like a madman.
Many of them pointed in random directions in order to get away from Thor, causing Thor to take a lot of detours.
Finally, he lost his patience and grabbed a hip-hop teenager passing by him, asking, "How do I get to Gotham?"
"Ah?" The face of the guy who was smiling until his teeth were exposed a second ago turned white, "You...you are from Gotham?"
"I'm from Asgardian, not from Gotham. I'm just going to Gotham to find my students." Thor explained patiently, "Listen, I don't mean any harm, but you people in the courtyard are too rough Disrespectful, no one is telling the truth. Now, boy, tell me how to get to Gotham."
"Your student is from Gotham?" The teenager, who was grabbed by the collar by Thor, trembled and almost screamed, "I don't know anything, sir, please don't hurt me!"
"You don't know how to get to Gotham?"
"This, I know this..."
"Take me there." Thor made a simple and rude decision.
He put the innocent passerby from his hands, and the teenager's eyes filled with excitement after the soles of his feet touched the ground. He was almost grateful to Thor, and this feeling helped him straighten him out after Thor put him down because he was picked up It reached its peak after becoming a wrinkled neckline.
"This is it, sir, this bridge is Gotham at the end." The teenager took Thor to the entrance of the Gotham Bridge, watching the road of no return leading to Gotham with fear and awe.
It was very late now, and the lights on the bridge illuminated a large area around it as brightly as day, and people could see quite clearly that there was nothing on the bridge—no cars, no people, and no objects of any kind. It seems that all living creatures will subconsciously avoid it when they approach it.
Or it will devour all travelers who set foot on this path.
"Thank you, kid." Thor turned around and put his hand lightly on the shoulder of the innocent passerby, "Report your name."
"Uh..." He couldn't help but feel the pressure from his seriousness, and the teenager said in an uncertain tone, "James Black?"
"James Black, thank you for your help." Thor said, "I, the son of Odin, will remember your kindness in my heart."
After saying this, he turned around and stepped onto the Gotham Bridge, leaving James standing there blankly, staring blankly at Thor's tall back.
Thor thought that the situation would be much better after entering Gotham, but what he didn't expect was that the situation was just the opposite.
In the metropolis, there are still a few people wandering the streets to show him the way, let alone whether the way those people pointed out is correct or not, at least there are people around who can ask.
Gotham City is almost a ghost city.
The street lights on the main road were very bright, but there were not even a dog as far as the eye could see, let alone people.
Alexander told him that Carl was a guest at Wayne Manor in Gotham City, and he seemed to want to say something after that, but Thor stopped listening.Now he regrets that he should have listened to Alexander's words. According to Thor's understanding of Alexander, the other party will definitely arrange everything properly. hit the top.
"What?" Carl said in surprise, "The teacher came to see me?"
He lay on the bed, his body sank deep into the soft three-layer mattress, and the bright red sheet was pulled up to his chin.He put down the veil on the bedpost, and even if someone entered the room at this time, they couldn't see what kind of state Karl was in.
For whatever reason, sleeping with glasses on is pretty weird, so Carl transforms them into a thin patch.
People who don't know why will think that he is asleep, but in fact, he is watching a movie with glasses.
When Alexander contacted Carl, Carl had just opened the filming of "Agent Carter", and he was going to take advantage of today's free time to see how the film Luo shot and starred in.
Then he knew that the teacher had hurried to Gotham City.
From this point of view, the teacher is really the same. To put it nicely, he is vigorous and vigorous, and to put it bluntly, he acts impulsively and recklessly - or to be more precise, the teacher's personality is too self-willed and too inattentive to others advised.
The surveillance video of Gotham City was put into Carl's blindfold by Alexander, and the teacher was in the most eye-catching center position, swaggering towards the center of Gotham City.
At the other end of the video, the Batmobile in the night patrol is thousands of miles away from the teacher.
"...It's already at this point, it would be too abnormal if I still get up to pick up the teacher, and the teacher may not recognize me wearing glasses." Carl pondered for a moment, "It would be too arrogant to replace Superman, I don't want to mess up the first meeting with the bat. Anyway, the teacher is unlikely to run into the bat. As long as the teacher doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, the bat won't rush to warn him——Let's just leave the teacher alone, tomorrow is here I'll pick him up when it's time to wake up."
Doing so hurts my conscience a little.
However, Karl is sure that the teacher will not have any safety problems even if he wanders around Gotham City all night. After all, his teacher is a character who is exiled by his father to different areas of the universe every day, and can survive in various dangerous areas in the universe. Still living so vigorously, it doesn't make sense to be injured by some minor characters in Gotham City.
Alexander did not comment on Carl's decision, but nodded slightly.
Carl turned off the surveillance video projection of Gotham City in the blindfold, and focused on Alexander who was still in his sight: "Is there anything else?"
"Rao and Magneto reached an agreement just now, I think you will be interested in it." Alexander said.
These two names are very familiar to Karl. Needless to say, Rao has always been by Karl’s side. Even Magneto, who seems to have no contact with Karl, has always communicated with Karl through Professor X. Magneto himself might not admit it.
"I'm a little curious about what agreement they can reach." Carl thought for a while, "But I don't need to know what's going on. If Rao doesn't say it, then he must have a reason not to say it."
"You seem to trust him too much, master."
"Hey, Alexander." Carl raised his eyebrows in surprise, "What's wrong with you? I don't remember you calling me that... for a long time."
"I'm sorry," said Alexander, without explaining why he was apologizing. "I have to think about your safety. Did you never suspect that Rao might be against you? It's not just Rao, you seem to have never Suspicious of anyone around, except Mr Luthor - but also based on your understanding of his position very clearly."
"I remember when I was in my early ten years, you judged that although I inherited my father's wisdom, I didn't have the characteristics to become a good scientist like my father, because I am not good at doubt." Karl replied, "Maybe this is my nature."
"Please answer my question."
"—I doubted it," said Carl.
He's not good at doubting, but he doubts everything.
Alexander's expression moved slightly: "And then?"
"I completely forgot what I suspected. Anyone could try to hurt me, anyone could be my potential enemy, Alexander, not only you, but myself. I was too suspicious Many, and then I gave up, because in the face of endless possibilities, any preparation is futile."
"I'm afraid I don't understand your logic."
"Don't worry about me, brother," Carl whispered, "You take good care of me."
During the few minutes they were talking, Thor, who had circled the main road of Gotham several times, still walked into a dark alley.
It was the right thing to do, at least he finally found someone.A tavern opened at the end of the dark alley, and the light shone seductively in the alley without street lights. Thor walked in with big strides, and his arrival made the tavern quiet.
The burly men with round waists, fleshy faces, and tattoos all over their exposed body parts turned their heads in unison and looked at Thor.
Fifteen minutes later, a loud bang echoed across Gotham.
