Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Ever-Expanding Web
In the old building, as the only member of the Dark Knights to enter the main universe, through the desire cell coins dropped by Curvin, combined with the powerful obsession of Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne in the Flashpoint timeline. The eccentric he transforms into has both the power of Kamen Rider and the powerful obsession of combining Batman and Joker.
After throwing the Desire Cell coin into the mind of this prisoner named Brian Douglas, who has a morbid cult of Batman. The twin undead also disappeared, and Brian, who was thrown into the lust coin, rolled his eyes, lost consciousness directly, and lay on the ground, but within five minutes, he woke up from his coma.
"Well, what just happened, I remember, I met Batman, and he admitted me, admitted that I was the new Batman of this nascent Gotham City! Yes, not a dream, that's it! ”
Brian felt that everything he had just seen was not a hallucination, it was real, and he was there to cheer himself up, and there was no fear of the impending capture. Just as he was talking to himself, the Gotham police, under the command of Dick and Jason, had already completed the siege of the building he was in.
In the darkness, several metal objects flew in from the outside, rolling around on the ground and in front of Brian.
'Bang! ’
The sound sounded, accompanied by a high flash that was enough to blind people instantly, and Brian had already subconsciously closed his eyes and tried to cover them with his hands when he realized what these things were. It's just that his movements are half a beat slower, allowing these high flashes to play their role.
Bright light and strong sound made a move, and a scream that didn't resemble a human voice came out of Brian's mouth. Before he could resist, the sound of explosions coming from all directions, as well as the force exerted on his neck and hands, directly pressed him to the ground.
"Brian Douglas, you're arrested!"
There were no unforeseen circumstances, under the command of Batman's two sons, plus the Gotham Police Department's police force was deployed, and there were no casualties at all, and the sick obsessive Batman who committed multiple homicides was arrested in this way. Dick and Jason, who were in command of the operation, looked at Brian who was pressed to his neck with a knee by the police, and felt a pang of sadness for him.
After living for so many years, in the end, he didn't even understand how to live, he lived like someone else, and he didn't live like him, he had enough pity in his life.
"You're right, the old man really should retire, it's just that before he officially retires, I don't think there will be fewer cases like this, he, the Joker, as two symbols of Gotham City, affects too many people."
Jason stood behind and said to Dick as well.
"That's why I need your help, when my wedding is over, I'll take Claire back to Gotham and don't leave, we can't act as before, use a new identity, cooperate with Gotham City, and establish a better order, until the old man becomes the symbol of the city."
"After all, can you stop planting flags all the time, you really think you're an old man."
He didn't refute Dick's words, but nodded his head and complained about Dick's way of speaking.
"No, isn't it all settled, this guy has been dealt with, so many people, he can still be invincible?"
Dick was noncommittal about Jason's complaints, he didn't understand why Batman would use Brian as an excuse to prevaricate himself when he was discussing retirement with Batman in the Batcave, but fortunately, he made the most thorough preparations, and the matter was solved in this relaxed atmosphere, not a loss. While the two were talking, Brian, who was pressed to the ground by the Gotham police, also began to bewitch.
"Ha, ha, I can't breathe, please, let me take a breath."
The policeman who pressed on Brian didn't have such a good temper, he just pressed his knee on Brian's back, not his neck. Moreover, a person is tall and muscular, and few people are pressed down, and if a bad one is not good, it is easy to overturn, and you are still discussing human rights with me here? has killed so many people, and worships Batman morbidly, you know that the guy who smeared the image of Batman is still pretending to be pitiful here, ridiculous!
"I heard you fart there, I pressed your back, you shouldn't say you can't breathe, you should say you have tightness in your chest, idiot! I fucking think I'm Batman, Batman never kills, and he never uses a gun, don't you know this, what kind of hood to wear, fake and shoddy goods! ”
scolded in his mouth, but he still moved the knee that was pressed on Brian's back a little, but he couldn't get angry with the policeman who Brian smeared Batman, and with a probe, he took off the bat hood that Brian wore on his head, and this pick made a big deal.
The left sentence Batman, the right sentence Batman, constantly stimulates Brian's brain, and as the Batman hood worn on his head to imply that he is the new Gotham City is taken off, the desire cell coin that is put into Brian's body by the twin undead also resonates with the desire and obsession in Brian's heart at this moment. The sound of coins falling inexplicably sounded in the building, and the police, Dick and Jason who stayed in the building, all glanced at each other and around.
All of them heard the sound of the coins dropping, but nothing related to the coins was found in the building. In the distance, Kewen, who had just had a secret confrontation with his old enemy, also woke up from his sleep and looked in the direction of Gotham, as a hand endowed with desire and able to materialize his power into a core coin for his own use, he also had a clear perception at the moment when Brian resonated with the cell coin.
"Gotham? That guy made trouble in Gotham? No, if he does something, he can't hide it from me, when I know how you are cross-commanding... Damn, I can't help it. ”
scolded secretly, Ke Wen didn't have many good ways at this time, and before he could capture the location of the old enemy, random movements could become a trap used by the old enemy to yin his own hand. And he didn't know if the abnormal movement he perceived this time was someone else's hand.
When Cowen was thinking about whether the old enemy started to make trouble again, on the Gotham side, Dick and Jason didn't expect things to become so dramatic, and Brian, who was still pressed under him by seven or eight Gotham police officers just now. It's just that the hood was taken off, just like lifting the seal, and he overturned the Gotham police who were pressing on him at once, and the burst of power directly threw several policemen against the wall.
If it weren't for Dick and Jason's quick action, they pulled away the police at the first time Brian's rampage, and used their bodies as meat shields to catch several, the first time they could definitely take the lives of several people. Even now, Dick and Jason didn't know how to deal with the situation, and standing there, Brian, who was already 1.8 meters and muscular in stature, rose up like a balloon.
suddenly turned into a giant nearly four meters tall, such a close distance, such a strong physique, so that everyone present had a sense of oppression in their hearts, and they felt palpitations inexplicably.
In such a situation, the fear of the unknown made these heavily armed policemen raise their guns for the first time and attack the criminal who has turned into a giant.
Gunshots rang out in the old building, and Gordon, who was outside the cordon, couldn't help but chuckle when he heard the gunshots one after another.
"Action group! What happened! Reply! ”
In response to Gordon, there was only the incessant gunfire in the pager, and at the scene, Dick and Jason looked at Brian, who suddenly became a giant, and looked at his body that did not move under the rain of bullets, just standing there, bearing the baptism of a rain of bullets, but this baptism did not cause much damage to Brian.
When the smoke and gunfire stopped, the ground was covered with finished bullet casings, and Brian's transformed giant was also covered with dense bullet holes, enough to make a dense phobia scream all over his body.
"Is he dead..."
Looking at Brian, who didn't move, the policeman who finished firing the magazine also asked his companions, why they didn't ask, because the things in front of them were beyond the scope of what they could face. No one could answer the question, and Brian, who was standing in the middle, answered it for them.
In the bullet holes all over the body, one warhead after another was squeezed out, and the scarred body also returned to its original state after squeezing out the bullet head. And Brian's giant body, which is nearly four meters tall, has also undergone a wonderful change at this moment.
"Ah, I'm a counterfeit? Batman never kills, never uses a gun? Yes, the Batman of the past was like this, but I am the Batman of the new era, your perception should be changed, this new Gotham City, there is no need for a Batman of the past, I am the real Batman! ”
With a roar, Brian's body shape changed again, huge bat wings spread out from behind him, white fluff grew around his neck, hair fell out, his ears became sharp and larger, his mouth was also full of sharp teeth, and a huge bat monster stood in front of everyone!
"Roar!"
A shrill cry emanated from the mouth of the batman that Brian had transformed, and the sound waves swept through the building, tearing everything in its path apart. At this critical juncture, Dick was also the first to rush in front of the Batman, pinning the Accel drive given by Curwen to his waist, as well as the second form used to switch, the Trial memory of the accelerated form, and the Dick who transformed at the speed of light.
Taking full advantage of the time of his transformation into invincibility, a curtain of light stood in front of him, blocking the first wave of attacks from the Batman. Before the second sonic attack could catch up, the burst of speed allowed him to move all the police in the building, including Jason.
And this old private house building was directly reduced to ruins by the sonic attack of the bat monster. The collapse of the building, the splash of smoke obstructed Dick's view of return, and with this brief gap, with a flap of his wings, the bat monster disappeared into the night at a rapid speed.
The original arrest operation ended in this inexplicable way with Brian, the prisoner. No one can tell what happened just now, why a prisoner who was an ordinary person just now would directly turn into a huge bat monster in the next second, and still be able to cause so much damage.
The Gotham police on the perimeter of the cordon didn't take much of a hit, and after the bat monsters flew away, they also began to maintain order. The hospital contacted by Gordon, the fire alarm, also rushed to the scene later, while rescuing the secondary damage caused by the bat monster, and also checking the police under the sonic attack of the bat monster just now.
And Dick, who saved the police and Jason, also lifted his transformation, and stood there alone looking in a daze in the direction where the bat monster had left. Jason, who was fine, also followed Gordon at this time, and the expressions on the faces of the two were indescribably serious, looking at Dick, Jason also took the lead in speaking.
"How so?"
"I don't know, there was no problem with all the intelligence, so to speak, there was no problem at all until we trapped it here. There must have been something we overlooked, and just as we were rounding him up, something happened that we didn't know about. ”
Rubbing his temples, Dick said as well, with an indescribable sense of loss in his words. He had just told Batman before that he would rely on Gotham's own strength to maintain order in the city, and before he finished speaking, something like this happened now, and he also used extraordinary power, but in that case, if he didn't change his body, it would be the wave of sonic attacks just now.
Except for himself and Jason, it is estimated that few of them will survive.
"So you still haven't succeeded, right, if you want to put on my cloak, you're still far away."
Just as Dick was talking about what had just happened, Batman's muffled voice rang out in the alley behind the three of them, revealing his sexy chin and coming out of the darkness, looking at his two sons and his friend Gordon.
"The reason why I pay attention to him is not just because of his mental condition, but because I can feel that something is trying to do something about him. You still haven't learned how to use what you know to list everything that will happen, and that's the end of it, you can go, Gotham is my city, and you don't belong to Gotham anymore. ”
The cold words, the cold tone, the words were so ugly and so ugly that they almost said that Dick was a foreigner. Jason on the side wanted to say something, but Batman stared at him and told him to shut up honestly.
"Now you understand, it's not that I can't live without this city, it's that this city can't do without me."
With that, Batman raised his hand, fired a hook gun, and led him away. Dick, who couldn't refute Batman's words, could only be silent, standing there, unable to do anything.
'Bang! ’
A punch punched a hole in the wall next to him, and looking at the direction of Batman's departure, Dick was only unwilling. Obviously, he just wants his father to retire and live his own life. Why is it such a result in the end, he is not reconciled!
And in the distance, the twin undead who dominated it all witnessed it, including the appearance of Batman, the conversation with Dick, Jason, he heard it all. He also divided the Joker's head from the two heads before, and the two heads looked at the departing Batman, and when they saw Batman appear, the twin undead as parents couldn't suppress their emotions.
After listening to his son's words, both heads looked in the direction of Batman's departure and said lightly.
"You've grown up, Bruce. But that's not the life we want you to live. Batman is a curse, and soon, you'll understand how much damage this curse can do you, and at that point, you'll willingly take off your cloak and live the life they want, and right now, the curse isn't deep enough! ”
As he spoke, the bodies of the twin undead transformed into bats again and disappeared into the night.
