Chapter 69 Father and Son

Nasino City, in an apartment building in the urban area, Conan and Ke Xue, who were sent to this normal timeline by the backhand left by the king Ke Wen and the savior Ke Wen, also dressed themselves in front of the mirror.

As for being teleported to the past, it also took them a day to come out of this reality. Because it is different from the branch line they are on. In the timeline of the Apocalypse War, at this time, the earth has already become riddled with holes in successive wars due to the destruction of the Japanese army launched by Apocalypse. In the timeline of the savior Ke Wen, Ke Wen at this time Wen and Lena are still imprisoned in the phantom zone of space, and have no idea what happened on the earth.

For the two people who heard what happened in the past from their parents, they couldn't find any reference events on this normal timeline. It is precisely because of this that Ke Xue inherited Lena's high IQ. I figured it out, the future timelines where he and Conan are located may be a branch derived from the normal timeline that Ke Wen is currently in, because some of the things that his father made in this normal timeline Decide.

This triggered a series of changes, leading to two different branch future timelines, but they inferred from the time, and they knew very well that on this basis and the most authentic timeline, their father had already avoided those two important points. Decisions that lead to the birth of two branch future timelines. But their timelines still exist. Although the three are connected, they do not interfere with each other.

After figuring this out, they still have doubts about being teleported to the past. If their fathers disappeared, it means that they are connected with each other. It shows that Conan and Ke Xue still haven't figured out how strong they are. Under the premise of this assumption, they don't understand the intention of being sent to the past.

"What the hell are you saying our two fathers are doing? Since you can let me find you and let you take me back to the past, why don't you come in person. If the three lines are relatively independent, then The grandmother paradox does not hold, is it still afraid of meeting the past self?" Conan tried his best to shape himself in front of the mirror, and asked Ke Xue the appearance of a sunny youth.

"If you ask me, who should I ask? Our father is gone, okay? Even if I think my mother knows, there is no chance to go back to my mother to find out. So I am more inclined to our Dad, we all know that we will disappear, that's why we let us go back to the past, some things can only be done by us, they can't.

As for what happened on the timeline we are in, I think our dad knows that we go back to the past, find the answer, and then return to the timeline we are in. The time flow will definitely not exceed one day. So you should pay attention later, don't reveal your secrets in front of Dad, even if the three lines have no influence on each other, but that is just our guess, God knows, let Dad know that there are two futures, and there are two future sons , What will happen to his timeline? Then again, have you gone to see your mother? "

Wearing custom-made Vance with one red and one blue on his feet, Ke Xue also asked Conan there. Although they both knew that they were both descendants of Ke Wen under different choices, but since they met, they were brothers. , For mothers in this era, they naturally also care about them.

"Mine is okay. My mother is in Nasino. I saw my father and mother shopping last night when I was eating supper. Where's yours?"

"Well, I checked it out before. In Metropolis, I'm helping my bald uncle who is paranoid about Superman. Speaking of which, it seems to me that my mother never told me what my aunt looks like, no Will it really be like what my mother complained about, my uncle is a hidden superhuman control?" Thinking of Lena who was already a mother at the time telling the story about Lex, the uncle who had never met,

Ke Xue also had a chill.

"Even if there is your mother, I don't know. In your timeline, when your father and your mother return to the earth, half of the entire earth has been destroyed due to cannibalism. The Superman group is the first to sacrifice. Yes, there is no information left... Instead of being curious, you might as well witness in this era whether your bald uncle is a superhuman control. If it is early, help him break it back. die."

After speaking, Ke Xue also felt that what he said was reasonable. It's not terrible to be paranoid about Superman, but you can't turn into twisted love. Although he doesn't feel anything, maybe avoid it or avoid it.

On Conan's side, he also arranged his hairstyle and dress, and whistled to signal Ke Xue to go.

"Be careful later, don't let Dad see the flaws, he now knows that our future line is of no use, don't affect what he has to deal with now."

"Don't worry, my dad in this period has a lot of great wisdom, and he doesn't have any little cleverness. How could he guess that the two of us came from the future, that's all right, all right, let's go quickly."

Planetary Detective Agency, Ke Wen is still sorting out the information he collected before, focusing on Batman.

"So what needs to be done now is to find out what the identity of this Nightmare Batman who entered the main universe is. Is it a member in my memory or has changed as Clark said. Then I have to go to Gotham, um, I don’t know if the regional library can find out the identity of this guy, the time must have been around the time I fought the clown.”

Just as Ke Wen was thinking about whether to go to Gotham, the doorbell rang. And Ke Wen also subconsciously looked at the phone, and the memo on it also made him realize that today is the interview of the two temporary workers. It is a bit exaggerated to say that it is an interview. After all, they are temporary workers. They usually help to look over the office, and occasionally help with commissions. However, it is hard for him to say how long the two temporary workers who came to interview can work.

If it can be done or not, he is also curious about the origins of these two young people with the same surname as himself.

"Here we come!" Responded, with a wave of his hand, after taking the information he had sorted out to the magic basement of the office, Ke Wen also tidied up a little bit, stepped forward, and opened the door directly.

And outside the door, Ke Xue and Conan, the two sons who came from the two branches and were sent back to this normal timeline by the cooperation of the king Ke Wen and the savior Ke Wen, just stood in front of Ke Wen, with humility, Looking at Ke Wen with a polite smile.

Um? ! Looking at the eyes of the two young people in front of him, Ke Wen felt uncomfortable for a while. He only saw this kind of eyes on some occasions, that is, at the fan chasing star concert, when he had close contact with idols and interacted with them. eyes. It stands to reason that this is the first time for me to meet these two young people. Is it necessary to have such a warm eye?

"You two, I know what you are here for, and I have received your resumes on my mobile phone, but the look in my eyes is a little too enthusiastic. I am not a Fortune 500 company, so I don't need to show my loyalty like this."

Although he had never met, Ke Wen looked at these two guys who were not a few years younger than him, and always felt that they were very kind, but he was sure that he definitely didn't know these two guys. This is not in the country, there are only a few of them who are of Chinese descent, and they are surnamed Ke. Therefore, the enthusiasm shown by these two people made Ke Wen always feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Sorry, this is our first interview, so it's inevitable that we can't control our emotions. Our fault, Dad!" Conan couldn't hold back, and subconsciously called Ke Wen.

"ha?"

This time, Ke Wen was even more confused. He called Dad when he came up with the interview. They were the first couple he had ever met.

And Ke Xue, the son of Ke Wen, the savior in the timeline of the savior, just gave Conan a sideways glance, and explained with a smile: "It's like this, as our boss, you pay us wages, then They are our food and clothing parents, so we have no problem calling you daddy, daddy."

Ke Wen raised his forehead and was defeated by the shameless remarks of the two, "Brother, you are not afraid of losing your life if you call me like that. If your parents know, your legs will be broken! Besides, it's not like I didn't agree to apply for you !"

Conan, who was the first to show his feet next to him, also hurriedly explained that he couldn't let Ke Wen think about it, and said pointlessly: "That's okay, we will go our own way in the future, we will call you Dad, and you call us Brother, that's fine. Dad, what are you looking for, our two brothers can help you find it?"

In front of him, Ke Wen had already bent over the ground and groped for a long time. After a long time, he got up, looked at the two brothers who came here for the interview, and said helplessly: "I'm looking for the integrity of the two of you, and now the post-00s don't want it so much." Is it polite?"

"If you can get a job by selling your morals, then we think it's okay. Dad, you know, college tuition is expensive!"

After some shameless operations, Ke Wen even forgot why he hired temporary workers. But at this moment, a phone call rang in Ke Wen's trouser pocket. Looking at the incoming call displayed on the phone, Ke Wen was taken aback, and picked it up without thinking about it. Because in Ke Wen's cognition, Conan and Ke Xue at this time are just two college students who want to pay their own tuition fees, one for ordinary people, and there is no need to worry about any information leakage.

"What's the matter, call me now."

"I want to ask you something, weren't you forced to go to another universe before, with Damian, that's right." On the other end of the phone, I have already learned about the Flashpoint timeline from Damian and Jonathan Jr. Dick in the story is also asking Ke Wen.

"Well, you can ask those little guys about the specific process, they also know what happened."

"Yes, they told me what happened, but the problem is that the people you thought you'd never see again, are now in front of us, and you have to come over."

"What do you mean?" When Dick said this, Ke Wen also felt that something was wrong, and asked quickly.

"We met Martha, Martha Wayne, the Joker you saw in another timeline that should have disappeared."

"I see, here we come."

Hanging up the phone, looking at the two young men who called his father as soon as they opened the door, Ke Wen didn't ask any questions, and raised his hand to signal the two to go in with entangled thoughts. Pointing to the sofa and bookshelves.

"Okay, I won't talk to you about who is your brother and who is your father. In short, you can start to work now. The job content is very simple. You are responsible for receiving customers who come to your door during normal time. When you have nothing to do, you can watch Shop, and then clean up, the salary is based on the weekly salary system, directly on your card, I am going to travel far away, unconsciously, it is up to you, that's it, see you next week."

Dick's sudden call and the revealed information made Ke Wen feel wrong. Before, I was still thinking about going to Gotham to check the whereabouts of Nightmare Batman, and then I just came to the Martha Wayne clown in the flashpoint timeline? And Ke Wen vaguely remembered that it seemed that in Batman's comics, it was mentioned that Thomas Wayne, the Flashpoint Batman, appeared in Gotham in the main universe to trouble his son.

As a result, Flashpoint Batman did not appear now, and Flashpoint Martha the Clown came, plus Nightmare Batman, who has appeared in the main universe and made Batman disappear. Will there be any connection between the three? Compared to this, Ke Wen can only put aside the threat of the mechanical superman for the time being, and start to deal with the matter in front of him, without figuring out the identity of the Nightmare Batman. When the Nightmare Batman backstabs, that will be the big deal !

"Okay Dad! See you next week!"

Behind him, Conan and Ke Xue's unanimous answer made Ke Wen stumble, and looked back at the two helplessly. He didn't know whether his idea of ​​hiring two temporary workers to look after the store was right or wrong. When Ke Wen disappeared from the perception of the two brothers Conan and Ke Xue, the two brothers sat on the sofa in relief and let out a long breath. Ke Xue looked at Conan with contempt.

"Everyone, we call Dad, and Dad calls us brother? Where did you get this idea, did you really grow up in a timeline full of wars? Your brain circuit, I Be your brother."

"Isn't this just a moment of nervousness, this is our father!" Conan also explained forcefully there.

"Okay, okay, don't talk so much. To some extent, he can only be regarded as the source of our two dads. Forget it, it's not a big deal to talk about it like this. You heard the father on the phone just now. No conversation. Alternate timeline, Martha Wayne Joker, you remember."

Conan nodded. Like Ke Xue, he had heard Ke Wen tell them about his father's past, including the story of the flashpoint timeline. But no matter whether it is in the future of the branch of the Apocalypse War or the future of the branch of the savior Ke Wen, there has never been a person from the flashpoint timeline appearing in the main universe, especially Martha Wayne, another timeline clown.

"You said it wouldn't be a chain reaction caused by our going back in time?"

"Take your breath away, the timeline is not so fragile. We haven't been here for a month, and we haven't done anything in the middle, and we haven't touched anything. How can there be any changes. I prefer this Because our dad avoided the situation that would cause two different future choices for us, I don’t know if this situation is good or bad. Especially about the mechanical superman, and those things that happened under this incident, we don’t know Clearly, after figuring this out, we can know what our dad's purpose is for sending us back."

"How do you do it? Use your genius brain to hack into the watchtower database? In this era, there is a humanoid computer angel heart called Steel Bone. You are not afraid that he will notify Dad when the time comes, and then a group of people will directly press our necks and ask questions? We Your identity is doomed not to be seen." Conan also complained there.

They don't know the consequences of exposing their identities as branch future people, so they dare not be active at will. This also means that the two of them will be restricted in many things, and the information about the past in the branch future is in this normal timeline It is also not universal, and the Prophet link is directly abolished.

"I'm not that stupid to directly hack into the watchtower's database, but do you think Dad will have nothing here?" Ke Xue pointed to the back door that Ke Wen used to cover up, and said to Conan there.

"But I remember that Dad seems to be a magician, you play science, you can't handle magic."

"Magic is just another science that has not been fully understood by the world for the time being, and I am a scientist who inherited my mother's genius mind, just leave it to me."

With a bit of pride and excitement, the two brothers also touched the underground secret room established by Ke Wen.

On the other hand, in Gotham, when Martha Wayne, the clown, showed his face in front of the members of the Bat family, coupled with the disappearance of Batman, the members of the Bat family also felt that things were weird. After receiving a call from Dick, Ke Wen, who learned all this from him, also rushed to Gotham immediately. Similarly, he also saw the video of Martha staying in the Black Gate Prison.

"Yes, it is indeed the Martha Wayne we met in the flashpoint timeline, Batman's mother, the Joker."

"But I remember you said that the technology of their era was not enough to support them in timeline travel, right? Then how did she get here?"

"It's not enough. Superman's spaceship is still on the earth. Rather than saying it's not enough, it's better to say that no one can restore that technology. As for how she came here, that timeline is just the life of everyone on the earth." The trajectory has changed, but in terms of gods, there are still one or two, and if a god is obviously in pain, help push her to come to our timeline, which is not so unacceptable."

Having said that, Ke Wen also thought of the first suspect, Dr. Manhattan. The flashpoint reboot universe of The Flash itself has Dr. Manhattan's tricks, and the flashpoint timeline is also preserved and extended because of Dr. Manhattan. If it is said that Dr. Manhattan is playing tricks behind the scenes, then it is reasonable for Martha to appear in the main universe. The question is, what is the significance of Dr. Manhattan doing tricks, or what he wants to do this time, is Nightmare Batman the same? Dr. Manhattan in action.

After all, at the level of Dr. Manhattan, it is not too difficult to extradite the Nightmare Batman of the Dark Multiverse to the main universe.

It's just that this time, Ke Wen really wronged Dr. Manhattan. This quantum god is now shutting down a small black room with the future self of two branches. How can he have time to come out and make trouble.

"No matter what, the most important thing now is to find Martha. If she wants to do something, it's too easy for Gotham now. In addition, you don't want Batman to face his mother."

Everyone was silent, and Dick also threw a bottle of Vita Lemon Tea to Ke Wen, and said, "That's why I need you, isn't your ability to link the memory of the earth just to find people, especially this kind of people?" when."

"It is true that there is such a move, but you know, I have rarely used this move, except for the first time, every time I use it later, there will always be some problems, which makes me have a psychological shadow."

"Human life is at stake. If it really doesn't work, we'll give you psychological counseling with the whole family. Hurry up and do it."

"Okay, okay, I understand. If this is the case, let's see Gotham from another angle~"

As he said that, Ke Wen's eyes also showed white light, and the ability of the regional library was activated. This time, he directly pulled everyone in the Batcave into a shared consciousness. In an instant, information began to flow rapidly in everyone's minds When they got up, a Gotham City that was different from that under the computer surveillance appeared in front of their eyes.

At the same time, in a factory of Wayne Enterprises, the captured Batman was alone with his father, Thomas Wayne in the flashpoint timeline. When Ke Wen opened the regional library and started searching for the whereabouts of Martha Wayne, Thomas, the last member of the Nightmare Batman and the other half of the twin undead, also noticed all this.

"Look, Bruce, they're starting to look for Martha, so soon, it's my turn."

"You and your mother arranged all this just to make me give up being Batman?"

"No, we thought this way at the beginning, but we understand that there is no guarantee for your renunciation, so we choose the simpler point, which is to make Gotham disappear, let the entire light multiverse fall into darkness, and be eroded by the dark multiverse , and you don’t need to use any reason to make yourself Batman, so now, the dark game has begun, Batman~ oh, I almost forgot, now you are just Bruce Wayne.”

Talking about the reason why he and Martha became Nightmare Batman, Thomas also put on his Batman costume in the flashpoint timeline in front of his son, and Bruce, who also passed out in the words, became this flashpoint A chip for the collaboration between Batman and the Flashpoint Joker.
