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....”
“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.”
