And Theodore was huffing and puffing, carrying out his escape plan.
Live report: Theodore is advancing along the predetermined route!
Theodore successfully scaled the wall of Wayne Manor!
Theodore successfully breathed the air of freedom!
Yay, Theodore took the first step towards a successful escape!
anwhile, on the streets of Gotham, Batman keenly sensed that sothing was amiss.
Gotham's villains were not united.
Among them, so wanted money, so wanted to solve puzzles, so craved to satisfy their desires, and so were simply insane.
Penguin and Black Mask were not flipping out over profits for the first ti.
But their long history of conflict proved that they were evenly matched, neither able to truly defeat the other.
Therefore, they usually kept their losses within mutually acceptable limits.
And not like today, where both sides made the situation uncontrollable, as if desperately wanting to kill each other within one night.
Based on his familiarity with every Arkham villain, Batman easily reached a conclusion.
—Soone had promised sothing to Penguin and Black Mask, or had misled them.
As for Firefly, who was setting fires all over the city center…
Batman pulled out his GPS and saw that the six fire locations ford a simple flower shape.
This was absolutely no coincidence.
And this multi-pronged style of chaos reminded Batman of soone.
Pressing the comms button, Batman asked in a deep voice, "Oracle, are you sure Joker is still in Arkham?"
"He is."
On the other end of the comms, Barbara rapidly and crisply typed on her keyboard.
"A minute ago, the guards specifically patrolled Joker's door. I also checked the cell surveillance footage from the past three days; Joker hasn't left Arkham."
Batman was silent for a few seconds.
Robin had been dispatched to deal with Firefly, who was setting fires in the city.
Batman was alone now; no one could decipher his complex deduction process from the tight jaw of the Gotham Knight.
But a few seconds later, Batman asked a rather unexpected question.
"Pennyworth, is Dwarf Falcon still ho?"
In the public comms channel, they couldn't call each other by their real nas. This was to prevent the vigilantes' true identities from being exposed.
So, even for Theodore, who was still unaware of the situation, Batman gave him a codena: Dwarf Falcon.
On the other end of the radio waves, the old butler's unhurried voice ca through the communicator.
"Of course not, Master. Dwarf Falcon left by climbing the wall two hours ago."
"…"
Batman fell into a suspicious silence.
Robin hit Firefly in the face with a stick, and at the sa ti, managed to let out a gasp of surprise.
"On the wall, I rember installing the new laser cutter, right?"
Theodore could actually avoid that?
His skills were that good!
"Of course not."
Pennyworth replied kindly, "Dwarf Falcon didn't even notice that chanism. I turned it off for him before Master Theodore almost tragically turned into twenty mini Master Theodores."
Robin: "…"
Oracle: "…"
Batman: "…"
Robin and Oracle held their breath, not daring to speak.
They quietly listened to the Bat Family's latest family problem, enduring the longest thirty seconds of their lives.
To be so calm at a ti like this, truly, it's you.
Alfred! The eternal god of the Bat Family!
