Chapter 520: Empty Grave

The tortured and scarred old butler died in Arthur's arms. Perhaps he had already died, but he just held on to tell Arthur the last clues and information.

Arthur had no expression on his face, but his eyes were burning with flames. Since becoming a member of the Wayne family, he has received 100% love from the old butler, especially when his parents and brother died in the fire. This loyal old butler with gray hair was regarded as his only relative.

Although it is ironic, after all, in the real world, he and the old butler looked down on each other, but in this dreamy and bizarre world, Arthur and the old butler's relationship is the same as the genuine Batman and butler Alfred, and they both regard each other as real relatives.

The old butler is not only a relative, but also Batman's right-hand man. Whether it is Arthur or Bruce Wayne, they have encountered setbacks and difficulties in the process of becoming Batman. It is the butler who has given the most sincere support and help. Batman's success is undoubtedly due to the butler.

At this point, Arthur can no longer regard all this as a dream drama, or from the moment he entered the game, he has been deeply immersed in it. This dreamy and bizarre world is so real that it can be called another life of Arthur.

Originally, the beginning of this new life was so beautiful, but now it has staged a series of tragedies. Arthur feels that he may really be a star of fate and unworthy of beautiful and warm things.

But at the same time, he also vaguely realized that his younger brother, or the real Batman in reality, his life seems perfect, but in fact, like himself, it is also a tragedy.

Arthur couldn't help but think of the joker in another time and space. He once said that Batman is the same kind as himself. This sentence may really be right.

Now, what Arthur has to do is to follow Batman's life trajectory, find the crazy joker, and then defeat him!

He brought the old butler's body back to the mansion with grief and arranged the funeral. Only then did he have time to think about the message he left before he died.

Cemetery, Joker, Bruce and dig up. The old butler left four words in blood before he died. Arthur inferred that the old butler wanted to say: Joker took him away in the purpose, and also dug up the grave of his brother Bruce Wayne?

He didn't understand why his deceased brother Bruce Wayne was involved in this matter, and when he went to the cemetery to mourn last night, Arthur didn't find anything unusual near the purpose.

Frankly speaking, the old butler was a riddle man, but it's not his fault. He was so old and suffered a lot. He could only hold on to see Arthur with his strong willpower. It's really not too harsh.

So Arthur had to go to the cemetery again to find out what was going on, but before that, he also carefully checked again near Wayne Manor. Although the possibility was not high, what if the cunning and bold Joker hiding in the dark was still on the scene?

After spending a whole day, Arthur finally found only some messy clues. Based on these clues, he deduced that just as he went to find the Ninja Master, the butler was taken to the abandoned warehouse and tortured for a whole night. Obviously, this was the Joker deliberately provoking and messing with his mentality.

Arthur also knew this, but as long as he thought that he had the opportunity to save the old butler who was close at hand, but in the end he passed by the abandoned warehouse where he was without noticing, he couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in his heart, but fortunately the dark chaos deep in his heart did not appear again. It seemed that after that night, the darkness in his heart disappeared.

This should be a good thing. It seems that he no longer needs to worry about the danger of losing control. He can always be a normal person and continue to do the promising job of Batman. However, Arthur felt worried instinctively, although he himself did not know what to worry about.

With extremely complicated emotions, he came to the cemetery again. The cemetery was very solemn during the day, but Arthur still felt that the sunlight shining down from his head seemed to have no temperature at all, just like his calm mood.

This time, he checked the graves of his parents and brother more carefully than at night, but still did not find anything special. It was easy to see whether the soil was loose.

Arthur frowned and thought about the old housekeeper's last words again. Did he misunderstand it? Did he want me to dig up Bruce's grave?

He hesitated a little. After all, this kind of behavior is always disrespectful to the dead, but in order to find out the truth, Arthur still found tools and dug up the grave with Bruce Wayne's tombstone erected. Soon, he realized that something was wrong.

Because the soil layers of the tomb are obviously old and new, but the outermost layer has been exposed to the wind and rain for a long time, so it is not easy to see. But you can find the difference when you dig deeper. Although it is still very subtle, it is probably difficult for ordinary people to detect it. Arthur is different. He has at least learned 80% of Batman's skills, so he certainly has good judgment.

He immediately realized that his brother's tomb had been dug up a long time ago, and then it was restored to hide it from others!

Sure enough, when he dug to the bottom, he saw that the coffin had been destroyed, and it was empty inside, without even a corpse or bones!

Arthur was stunned. The scene in front of him was somewhat beyond his expectations. He guessed that Bruce's grave might be robbed, but he didn't expect that this had happened for many years. If it was done by the Joker, wouldn't it mean that the Joker had been hiding in the dark and staring at him a long time ago?

But the problem is that Arthur still doesn't understand what this clown hiding in the dark is all about. The most reasonable guess is that it is a clown from another world.

He also discovered that this dreamy and bizarre world is built on his consciousness, thinking and memory. For example, Gotham is the Gotham he used to be familiar with. Thomas Wayne is going to run for mayor, and the citizens come out to protest. These events are also reflections of what will happen in the real world in the future.

But the Shadow Warriors League, the Ninja Master and Sheriff Gordon are different. They come from the world of the genuine Batman in the outside world. Arthur saw and understood it through the video exposed by the quiz game, so it will also be reflected.

In this way, it seems impossible for another clown to jump out.

Just as Arthur was frowning and lost in thought, he suddenly felt a light at the back of his head. Turning his head, he saw a figure squatting on a pile of earth with its back to the light, looking down at him.
