"So you are not from this world at all, and you cannot even be called human beings?"
It took Bruce Wayne a full five minutes to digest this extremely impactful and subversive information.
Although he had made conjectures in this regard before, such as that Zuo Si and Davian might come from an unknown planet in outer space like Superman, he never expected that the truth would be so outrageous.
Zuo Si picked up the cup and drank down the remaining champagne in it, and responded in a very relaxed tone: "I am indeed not from this world.
But whether you believe it or not, I am indeed a human being, at least I was.
And I can tell you very clearly that this world is far more complex and dangerous than you think.
In addition to Superman, who you regard as a threat, there is a female demigod walking in the world that has been confirmed so far.
Her father is Zeus, the king of gods in Greek mythology, and her mother is the legendary Queen of the Amazons.
As early as World War I, she was active on the battlefield and defeated her brother Ares, the god of war, who tried to provoke a war and make humans kill each other.
There is also an underwater civilization established by the ancient Atlanteans hidden in the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean.
The power and technology they possess can easily set off a tsunami that will destroy everything and wipe out all the civilization established by humans on the surface.
Not long before General Zod invaded, a lucky young man was accidentally struck by a lightning bolt and received the Speed ​​Force. He could run at speeds close to or even beyond light, and even reverse time and go back in time.
The most important thing is that there are three mother boxes from Apokolips on Earth.
Maybe you don’t quite understand what this means based on the information you currently have.
But as long as you know that Darkseid, the master of Apokolips, is one of the most terrifying existences in the universe, he is also the most powerful new god.
When he was still young, he visited the earth. At that time, a group of old gods including Zeus and Ares, the Amazons, Atlanteans, humans and the Green Lantern Corps, the guardians of the universe, joined forces to achieve success.
Easy to defeat.
The mother box is what was left over from that time.
Believe me, when Darkseid comes again one day, the world will experience what true despair is.
To sum up, if you want to have enough power to protect the world when a crisis comes, you need all kinds of knowledge, power and help.
And I am just the person who can provide these things.”
"What's the price? What's the price?"
Bruce Wayne asked with a serious expression.
He is not the kind of fool who is naive enough to believe in such a good thing as pie in the sky, and he does not think that a guy who calls himself the devil will be kind enough to provide help for free.
"The price is that from now on you must always be within my observation range and answer all the questions I ask directly without any evasion or concealment.
Because I want to understand your thoughts and emotions, and understand the logic and motivations behind all your actions.
And the smallest and most detailed changes in your heart.
And most importantly, what makes you choose to be Batman instead of simply becoming Bruce Wayne.
That's not a difficult condition to accept, is it?"
After saying that, Zuo Si gently put the empty wine glass in his hand back on the table.
Upon seeing this, Alfred immediately picked up the bottle of champagne and walked closer, pouring almost half of the glass, then stepped back to the side and continued to perform his duties as a butler silently.
Zuo Si said thank you with a smile.
Bruce Wayne frowned and remained silent for a long time. He watched the other person drink up all the champagne in the glass, and then he tried again: "Why are you so interested in my spirit and psychological state?"
Zuo Si replied nonchalantly: "Because you are really special.
In some highly idealistic worlds, this complexity, contradiction and almost crazy persistence alone are enough to become a god or some special form of quasi-divine power.
So you are a very valuable research sample that cannot be replicated.
By studying you, I can get some inspiration from you.
Of course, if you are willing to sell your soul after death, I will be very happy to offer a high price."
"Haha, so I'm quite valuable?"
After confirming that the other party's target was actually him, Bruce Wayne finally couldn't help but let out a burst of self-deprecating laughter.
The reason is very simple!
From the moment he put on the bat mask, he had put his own life, death and even his soul aside.
So I don't mind selling my soul for a good price when needed.
"Believe me, in the endless multiverse, there will be countless demons fighting for your soul.
Because those precious souls that really shine with dazzling light are truly priceless treasures.
Not even one person among billions, tens of billions, hundreds of billions, or even trillions of people will be born.
Finally, I wish us happy cooperation.
In addition, the twelve magic potions in this potion box will be given to you as the first batch of gifts.
Goodbye, dear Batman.
I hope you can provide me with more interesting inspiration and research directions in the next series of events."
After saying that, Zuo Si gently placed the greeting gift he had prepared in advance on the table, then stood up and kicked Atio, who was still engrossed in eating. The man and the bear disappeared in an instant.
"Magic potion?"
Bruce Wayne first stared at the place where the other party disappeared for a moment, then subconsciously opened the lid of the medicine box, only to find twelve transparent containers like test tubes placed inside.
Each one is labeled with labels written in English such as treatment, life extension, regeneration, protection, disease removal, poison removal, overall physical enhancement, etc.
You can roughly guess the specific function just by looking at the name.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Out of curiosity about the magic potion, the master picked up the bottle with the life extension label on it, raised his head and asked in an uncertain tone: "How to use this thing?
"
"Drink it."
Davian gave the answer without thinking.
Upon hearing this, Bruce immediately turned his attention to the elderly butler and asked half-jokingly: "Alfred, would you mind giving me a taste of these potions?"
"It's my pleasure!"
The butler bowed gracefully, then walked straight forward, took the life-extending potion, opened the seal, and drank the liquid inside that shone with life and arcane aura in one gulp.
In a blink of an eye!
His gray hair and wrinkled and saggy skin on his face were restored to youth and health in just a few seconds, and an unprecedented vitality surged from his stomach to his whole body.
After a while, the old man who was already over 70 years old actually returned to his appearance of about 45 to 50 years old.
Especially the strong and powerful heartbeat, as well as the tight muscles all over the body, all came back at once.
“It’s unbelievable!”
Looking at himself reflected in the mirror in the distance, Alfred couldn't help but exclaimed.
Bruce Wayne, who witnessed all this with his own eyes, could not conceal his excitement.
After all, the old butler is the last family member who grew up with him after his parents were killed, and he is also Batman's most effective helper after putting on a mask.
Over the years, as Alfred became older and older and more and more powerless, he was very afraid that one day he would wake up and find that the other person did not appear beside the bed as usual, but collapsed somewhere and turned into a corpse.
A cold corpse.
There is no way, birth, old age, illness and death are irresistible natural laws.
Even the heirs of the Wayne Group, who own billions of dollars in wealth, cannot prevent this day from coming.
But now, Bruce Wayne suddenly found that he seemed to have found a way to extend Alfred's life, so that the old butler who played the role of a father would always be by his side.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath to calm down and asked the Sun Knight who was standing motionless directly: "What can I do to get another bottle of this life-extending potion?"
Davian replied without thinking: "Two methods. One is to provide things that the master is interested in, including but not limited to technology, materials, knowledge, and technology. The other is to satisfy him with your performance."
"Then how do I perform to satisfy him?" Bruce Wayne continued to ask.
Obviously, by studying the modified and upgraded Bat Armor, he did not feel at all that he could provide the technology, materials, knowledge and technology that would interest a powerful demon.
"Sorry, I don't know much about this either. Maybe you could consider getting some inspiration from that book."
