Chapter 40: I'm also very stubborn
Gotham has two kings of topics, and they are the stars that every newspaper in Gotham wants to have access to first-hand information. As long as the news of these two figures is published in the newspaper, there is absolutely no need to worry about the sales of this magazine.
One is Bruce. Wayne. The newspaper that carried the news about him sold about 10% more than the usual newspaper sales. From the regular large-scale newspaper companies in Gotham, to the paparazzi who rely on making up stories to create scandals, they all have a strong attachment to this Gotham baby. The main purpose of the regular press is to make new moves in the Wayne Enterprise, which is a prince-level figure. The focus of the paparazzi is on which woman Gotham Baby has changed, or where he goes to enjoy the extreme sports he loves.
According to incomplete statistics, sixty percent of Gotham's gossip news lives on his lace news. And this Gotham baby has never been stingy with his lace news to satisfy the public's desire for voyeurism.
The other is Batman, the Dark Knight of Gotham. Although no official has ever jumped out to confirm his existence, as long as anyone living in Gotham has heard of this dark knight, you may occasionally be saved by him when you don't know whether your luck is good or bad.
There are more rumors about him than Gotham Baby, what kind of cyborgs, mysterious organizations, robots, aliens and the like. But this one is not a Gotham baby, and he will never satisfy the public's desire to peep. A grapevine reporter once broke the news that the camera was smashed by a dart from Batman because he was too close to take pictures, and no one knows whether it is true or not.
The Dark Knight's terrifying appearance still doesn't stop the paparazzi who want to get their hands on his news. Unable to shoot up close, these guys were secretly photographed from a distance, and the long-distance, blurry, and in some cases just a silhouette of the Gotham newspapers were all taken by them.
Eventually, someone noticed the anomaly of the Dark Knight around them.
What about our energetic duo? 】
On the Gotham headlines on this day, a row of big black characters was like a bombshell, causing a wave of panic among the ordinary citizens of Gotham.
The article lists all the news about the Dark Knight during this time, and is accompanied by pictures. Since when did the Dark Knight lose that fiery figure by his side?
People are starting to get a little worried, and some people even have picked up the news that there hasn't been any news of the Dark Knight in the last few days, which makes all the Gotham people worry about whether their City Guardian has left here.
Alfred glanced at the spitting host on the TV, who was now talking about Gotham's problems, discussing whether the Guardians, to whom they had become accustomed, had finally decided to abandon the hopeless city.
The old man sighed and turned off the noisy TV.
The headlines of the day were like a depth charge, which quickly set off a wave of panic throughout Gotham, and even some extreme guys secretly ran to turn on the bat lights at the police station, although Gordon didn't have any special performance, but the practice of letting those guys run to turn on the lights and then expel them also confirmed that the report also had a certain impact on Gordon, he also wanted a definite news, but the Batman never appeared.
Alfred went down to the cavern beneath Wayne Manor with freshly baked cookies and black tea. The sensor lights in the cave gradually brighten up as they sense the arrival.
The long-awaited man is sitting in a chair in front of the computer decadently at the moment, and the helmet he always wears on his head is casually thrown on the computer's operating table, and he doesn't feel a trace of anger at all.
Ever since Alfred followed the tracking signal to find Bruce in an abandoned warehouse that day, Bruce has been completely in this state of emptiness.
Nothing piqued his interest, not even the daily night watch.
For such a Bruce Alfred was distressed and at the same time relieved. At least it was better than the previous kind of Bruce who seemed to have no anomalies at all, forcing himself to be the same as usual, let him go a little bit of worry, but he was worried about the current state of this man.
There was a burst of footsteps in the passage of the bat machine, and the person who came seemed to be deliberately greeting and stepped on the passage, conveying the signal of "I am coming" to the people in the cave.
Soon the familiar figure appeared in Alfred's sight. Seeing the rare solemn expression on the face of the Child of the Sun, Alfred looked back at the man who was still slumped in his seat.
In the end, he chose to convince the intruder.
"Master Clark, please go back, Master Bruce, he... It's very stubborn."
Alfred used a more tactful adjective to describe Bruce at this moment, he didn't know how long Bruce's appearance lasted, but with what he knew about this man, it was not a few words of persuasion that would make him come out of his decadent self-blame.
"I know, so do I"
It's just that this time, the son of the sun, who has always spoken well, showed his rare stubborn side. He knew Bruce well, what Jason's death meant to the man, and he knew he couldn't let him continue to bask in grief.
Strong, powerful footsteps walked towards the lifeless man with unquestionable determination.
"Let go of me. Clark"
Superman's strength is very great, and he always tries to control his strength in ordinary life, so as not to accidentally crush things that are not much stronger than paper paste to him.
And now, even with the bat subdued and protecting the muscles, he still feels that strong oppressive force, telling Bruce how angry this man is at the moment. The hand that looked like a hydraulic tong was firmly gripping his arm at the moment, and the intense pressure forced him to mobilize all his strength to resist the pressure.
Clark usually chooses to respect Bruce's decision. He already knew very well how stubborn this man was when they first worked together.
If he continues to let him go on like this, the devil knows which horn he will stubbornly get into and never get out again.
"It's been a long time since you've been to the farm, Martha wants to meet you"
Speaking in a tone that seemed to be an invitation, Clark greeted Alfred and led him out of the dim cavern, completely ignoring Bruce's advice.
