Chapter 2200 (1/2)
”When I was a child, I loved to come here. Under that oak tree, for the first time in my life, I swung a bat; on the path behind us, I learned to ride a bicycle. ”
In the north-east suburb of Gotham, not far from Wayne's house, this is a small hilly area. The continuous hillsides are covered with carpet like grass, and in the distance, the roadside leading to Gotham City is full of strange trees.
Now, compared with the chaos in the city, this desolate place is more peaceful. At least, the mushrooms here are normal and do not turn people into zombies or lunatics.
The breeze brings a light smell of grass. If you feel it carefully, you may also have some berry flavor, but the air here is still slightly cold even during the day.
There was a man in a brown cloak, hiding in the shadow of a thick canopy, saying something to himself.
Maybe it's not as simple as talking to himself, because just after he finished that sentence, he changed a sharp and funny voice line and chatted with himself.
”Aha! It's a good start. It always makes me happy to go back to Gotham. Even if I just look at the mushroom cloud rising in the city from afar, I seem to hear people calling for me... By the way, I always thought that the children of rich families learn new skills in Hawaii. You are still so different, Jie Jie Jie... ”
a pair of sharp ears on the head of the figure shook He raised his hand to his mouth and stopped laughing.
After a long time, he calmed down and continued, ”I once asked my father why the large area around the house is empty? He told me, just because this is a graveyard without a tombstone. ”
”Wow, that's great. There's a graveyard around Wayne's house. New bat knowledge.” The funny voice began to ring again, and the figure clapped his hands together. He did not know how he was suddenly so happy: ”go on, please go on, although I still saw the tombstones of Thomas and Martha, not far from the door of the house, which made me a little confused. Who is the one living in akamuri now?”
”That's Thomas Wayne of the parallel world, who believes Gotham can only have one Batman and thinks he's better than me.” The figure swayed slightly and leaned against the tree trunk beside him. The dry bark made a brittle sound: ”but he was wrong. We were all wrong. He is not my father.”
”Boring, why so serious? You know what, bats? Sometimes I ask a question, and I don't need an answer. It's just a form of joke. It's just like I killed cat girl. You can see, just smile, that's enough. Hey, hey...
Batman doesn't smile, at least his soul doesn't smile, only the clown in charge of his body, at this time, his face is squeezed out of the shape of a smiling face.
”That's not funny, and now that memory doesn't torture me.” He turned and looked at Wayne house, which stood at the top of the hillside, warm and peaceful in the sun: ”at least worse than your old jokes.”
”How dare you say that? bat? How dare you say that? ” He suddenly pinched his neck, slapped his hand in the face, and became angry: ”do you think that crazy laughter is more funny than me? Can he make you feel relaxed from the bottom of your heart? no He can't, he has only one person, and we are a team! ... or is it a double circus? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
At the end of the day, he suddenly laughed again, as if he felt good about the witty joke, so that he crouched on the ground and pounded hard on the thick lawn.
However, perhaps because of extreme joy, Batman regained control of his body at this moment, took a yellow Yingying injection from the bat's belt and put it into his chest.
Then, fear enveloped him, and the sky became dim and narrow in his vision. Bats came from nowhere and drowned all around him.
Darkness has come.
