Chapter 575: I, Joker (14)

Translator: Lonelytree

Just as the Bruce was gathering his team, two people already silently came to the several kilometres north of the bat castle. This place was very close to the bay but it was a piece of undeveloped land. The geography was rather uneven and was covered in rocks and reefs. Deep behind one of the reefs there was a very hidden cave.

“Impossible… how do they know about this place?” Marya gasped as she stood at the cave entrance. “This obviously has been purposely hidden from view from someone…”

“That is not really a surprise, is it? Since that Mr. Joker said that it will be here, naturally it will be.” Joe said, “He has no reason to lie to us.”

“Then…” marya asked in a probing tone, “Should we enter just like that?”

“Of course.” Joe replied.

“You really place such deep faith… in that four… erm… so called aliens?” Marya shrugged and asked. “I thought… Joe Collins will be careful and cautious of everything and everyone.”

“ha… I am not as cautious as you give me credit.” Joe said with a bitter smile. He took out his flashlight and switched it on. “To be honest… I have no idea how I got to this place. Now thinking back… compared to the Bruce’s cunning, I feel so juvenile. The rebels that I lead are so fragile and now we have lost our base and our comrades have been killed one after another….”

“But that is not your fault…” Marya also took out her flashlight and followed Joe into the cave.

Joe sighed and cut Marya off. “Aiz… If you say so. In any case, no matter the intention of those ‘four people’, at least for now, they have already placed themselves against the Bruce, we have no reason to suspect them anymore. Even though their action is a bit extreme but it is undeniable that what they have done in the past hour is far more effective than the efforts that we have accumulated over the years…”

When the two spoke, they had already walked into the cave. The inside of this cave was very wide and the roof was high. There were decks on the sides of the cave and there were many stalactites in the cave, shaped like jaws in the dark. The earlier path of the cave was hard to trek, the middle of the cave was practically submerged in water, Joe and Marya had to edge along the small lane by the side. When they were 1 km into the cave, the water level gradually lowered and then many strange manmade creation appeared inside the cave like large circular stone carving and dinosaur models as large as the real thing…

After another minutes of walking, Marya suddenly saw something. She gasped. “Oh god, look at that!” She halted instinctually and raised her hand to point before her. The direction that she was pointing had an old bat aircraft hanging in the air. Under the aircraft was a row of batman’s model that was human size. Joe had seen the thing as well. He revealed a surprised expression and mumbled to himself. “I was wrong… so I was wrong all along… So… there was really an actual ‘batman’, Bruce Wayne is real!”

“Of course.” Right then Feng Bujue’s voice came from behind them. “This is the original bat cave, the place where the legend starts.” Marya and Joe turned around. They saw Ruoyu and Brother Jue who was carrying someone. When Brother Jue spoke, he slid Klibon down from his shoulders and allowed the man to shuffle his way forward.

“Why is he here?” Marya asked threateningly. “he is the Bruce’s hand and claw!”

“Oh, that is such a rude way to describe someone, miss.” Klibon casually took out a pack of cigarette from his brown coat and then lit one for himself. “I am just a scientist and Mr Bruce is my sponsor, that is the extent of our relationship.”

Joe added coldly, “you are an accessory to the tyrant’s crime.”

“Ha ha ha…” Klibon laughed. “I see that you are an idealistic person, Mr. Collins. I admit you are quite a capable young man but obviously you have not gained enough experience.” He puffed out a mouthful of smoke. “My master is different, he could easily peel off your skin and swallow you alive…”

“Enough, prof, stop with the meaningless taunting.” Feng Bujue pushed lightly behind Klibon. “Do not forget that you are still a hostage.”

“hah… Alright then, my life is yours, Mr. Joker.” Klibon said as he moved forward. “Oh, right…there is something that has been bothering me…” He turned to glance at Brother Jue. “It was me who made the four of you, there was no problem with the brain chip…” He paused for a while. “…I did not remember making the four of you into superheroes who could fly into the sky and possess super strength.”

“Why don’t you make a guess with that brilliant mind of yours?” Brother Jue replied.

“Do you think I have not…” Klibon uttered. “My initial guess was it was a damage caused by the brain surgery and evoked the latter’s hidden potential but the chance of that happening simultaneously on four people is impossible, the probability is close to zero.” When he said that, he already reached Joe’s side and stood at the front of everyone else. “Then I thought… would bruce have done other experiment on you without telling me…” He turned back to look at Feng Bujue, “But when you pulled him out of the plane, and the shock on his face prove that the supposition is wrong either.”

“We are aliens who took over the control of these people’s bodies.” Feng Bujue offered. “What do you think about that hypothesis?”

“Hmm…” Klibon thought for a few seconds and then laughed. ‘Interesting.”

“Hey! Why did you guys bring him here?” Joe followed behind Brother Jue and Ruoyu and asked with confusion.

“Calm down, Joe.” Feng Bujue opened his arms and turned around to smile. “Professor Klibon probably discovered this place earlier than any of us.”

“What?” Joe and Marya said in unison.

“ha ha… the man is right. Before this The Bruce came into power, I have already discovered this bat cave.” Klibon said, “Bruce Wayne was really an incredible man. This base that he built is indestructible, with a very hidden entrance and is closed off from detection of external signal. At the time, I was thinking… why not keep an insurance for myself and keep this place as a final sanctuary…”

“So…” Joe followed the man’s words and surmised, “…you did not share the existence of this batcave with the Bruce?”

“Naturally.” Klibon answered. “In fact, I not only did not tell him about this place, I even very carefully cover up its existence.”

“hmph… I knew it.” Feng Bujue then added, “This batcave is connected to Wayne Manor’s energy well and the bat castle is built on the foundation of the original Wayne Manor and only you… has the technological prowess to keep this place a secret from the Bruce.”
