Chapter 50: Determination!

Dante stood helplessly on the street corner, not long ago, Dante had planned to cross the bridge with Bruce to the Narrow Island, but it had been half an hour since the distance, and he still couldn't reach the Narrow Island.

Dante slowly pulled a cigarette out of the cigarette case and lit it without smoking, but just watching the cigarette burn slowly.

Dante had heard that there were many gangsters raging in the United States, but Dante never expected that the gangs in Gotham City had become rampant like this, and in just half an hour, Dante and Bruce encountered more than six robberies and even murders!

From two homeless men fighting each other for a worn-out wallet, to a gang of gangsters smashing a cake shop, to a gang of robbers driving to block three moving cars and rob them at gunpoint, in just half an hour, just three blocks, Dante has seen the night in Gotham!

Dante watched the cigarette in his hand burn gradually, Dante listened to the sound of gunshots and fights in the distance, and Dante watched Bruce walk back covered in blood.

"I'm missing a lot of things, they're not my match in terms of grappling, but they're always outnumbered, and I need a lot of stealth to break them down one by one!"

Bruce shows Dante the wounds on his body.

"And, even with my current body, I still can't avoid all the bullets, I also need a suit that doesn't interfere with movement, can withstand bullets, and even armor!"

With that, Bruce lifted the hood from his head.

"I also need a helmet that doesn't interfere with my vision, protects my head, and conceals my identity, and I also need a voice changer, preferably to render my voice more vicious!"

Bruce gently recounted the experience he had summed up, Dante nodded, and said: "The only thing I can teach you is the ability to fight, of course, I can also teach you the stealth and hidden means you want, but what you really need can only be known by yourself!"

Dante tossed the cigarette in his hand far into the trash, then reached out and tapped Bruce's forehead.

"You see, just like now, practice is a good way to sum up experience!"

After Dante finished speaking, he turned and walked in the direction he came, which was the way back to Wayne's old mansion!

"Why, don't you go to the narrow island, there are so many sins going on in Gotham right now, I can't just leave!"

Bruce asked, handing Dante the long knife in his hand.

"By the way, teacher, I am not suitable for this long knife, it is too lethal, if I want to become a symbol of Gotham, I must be accepted by countless ordinary citizens of Gotham, they will never accept a murderer. ”

"Whatever you want!" Dante explained without replying: "I don't care about your style, you are an adult, although you call me teacher, but I haven't recognized you as my disciple, not to mention, it is you who defeat those sinners, they are your spoils, you have the right to decide what to do with them!"

Dante said as he trotted up.

"It's just that I don't need to go to Narrow Island tonight, the reason why I want to go to Narrow Island is just that I heard that the security there is relatively poor, so I plan to let you find your own shortcomings and deficiencies in the process of fighting crime, but look at it, haven't you found it now!"

After Dante finished speaking, he refused to speak again, and Bruce ran after Dante, and after a few steps, Bruce heard the sound of a siren in the distance.

Inspector Gordon is really heartbroken today, or rather, he has been heartbroken in recent weeks, and the security of Gotham, which had improved somewhat, has begun to deteriorate in recent weeks, which makes Gordon, who has just been repaired, very tired!

However, the good thing is that the guys who have caused him a lot of trouble have been imprisoned in the Arkham Asylum, and besides, the new director and attending doctor of the asylum half a year ago, the guy named Klein, is very capable, and he has kept the asylum in order, and since his arrival, no sick or wicked people have escaped.

Gordon thought back to the criminals who had troubled him, and if they had been given a chance to escape from Arkham Asylum, they might not still be their opponents now!

Gordon looked at his hands in frustration, twenty-one years, twenty-one years have passed, he is old, although his energy is still very abundant, but it can't change the fact that he is old, his physical strength is not as good as before, and the Gotham Police Department is becoming more and more gray, the power he can use is getting less and less, and the invisible strength of those criminals is getting stronger and stronger!

Gordon shook his head slightly, only hoping that Dr. Klein could take care of the sinners who were transferred to the insane asylum, and also hoped that those sinners were really washed away from their bodies by the prison, alas, Gotham, if Wayne was still there, how could Gotham become like this!

Whenever he fell into confusion, he couldn't help but think back to the scene twenty-one years ago, when the Wayne family, the most powerful, richest and most influential in Gotham, died at the back door of the theater, and he remembered the helpless child standing by the pool of blood.

"If you are still alive, you should be able to shoulder the responsibility of the Wayne family and bring hope to the entire Gotham City, the Wayne Group is really only in the hands of the Wayne family!"

Gordon remembered that the day before yesterday he had met with the head of the Wayne Group, hoping that the Wayne Group would sponsor the Gotham Police Department with a small amount of money to upgrade the police department's equipment, but it was clear that he had failed.

The Wayne Group is no longer the symbol of Gotham as it once was, for twenty years, the Wayne Group has been consuming the patience of all the good people in Gotham, until now, Gotham needs a new hope, a hope that people can believe in, and it is worth believing in!

Gordon put his hands on his head, and they asked themselves that even he couldn't do that!

And at this moment, under the Wayne family's old mansion, Bruce is also saying something similar.

"Teacher, Alfred, in less than half an hour, I have actually encountered six crimes, Gotham simply does not look like a city, this is simply a battlefield, damn, Gotham is completely hopeless now, I must change this, as soon as possible, and change all this as quickly as possible!"

Bruce slapped the table hard, and the half-healed wound in his waist burst open, but he didn't realize it.

Dante held out his hand to signal him to calm down

"Bruce, it's not unfortunate that there is no hope, there is a need for hope!" Dante tapped on the map on the table and continued: "Although Gotham is like a mess now, fortunately there is no crisis of destruction here, you have to think about it, if you are on a rampage and are discovered by Lei Xiaogu, maybe their plan will be advanced accordingly, are you sure you are ready?"

"I prefer to do it first and say it later!" Bruce nodded firmly: " I can't sit back and watch countless Gotham citizens being bullied by criminals and gangsters because of waiting for the implementation of an unknown plan, teacher, you are the main force to deal with Lei Xiaogu, maybe I can act as a vanguard and completely lead out Lei Xiaogu's forces, all their plans are nothing more than the destruction of Gotham, but if I don't stand up, I'm really worried that Gotham will be destroyed before they come, not to mention, if the appearance of the teacher can really scare Lei Xiaogu back to the cold Himalayas, the citizens of Gotham will no longer have to bear a huge crisis, at that time, I am willing to accompany the teacher to completely eliminate the Shadow Warrior Alliance!”

As soon as Bruce finished speaking, the gray-haired Alfred spoke, "Bruce, I understand your feelings, but have you thought about what you should do?"

"I'm thinking!" Bruce growled sullenly, and Dante and Alfred looked at each other gloomily at his words.

However, it only took a moment for Bruce to raise his head, confidence in his eyes again, and he said solemnly.

"I can't do it alone, I have to make all the citizens of Gotham realize that this city is not about corruption and crime, and that people need a dramatic example to get out of apathy, and that example must be strong and legendary!"

Bruce said as he picked up a pen and paper, muttering something in his mouth and writing something in his hand.

"This role model can't just be a mortal, fight evil with a mortal body, people will inevitably think that I will be defeated, I will be ignored by everyone, so I must become a symbol, a hero of a story, or even a story that inspires others!"

Bruce excitedly recorded that the writing gradually appeared on the piece of paper, and his mouth was still chattering, constantly muttering about the future he believed in.

"I'm going to be a universal and terrifying thing, and I'm going to convince others that the symbol isn't flesh and blood, I'm going to put an end to the criminals' actions, I'm going to crush them, I'm going to punish them so badly, I'm going to let them out the fear I brought them, I may not be able to make the bad guys good, but I'm at least going to make the bad guys not dare to do evil!"

With that, Bruce quickly looked at Dante.

"Teacher, I need to be highly skilled in stealth, it will make me appear more mysterious, I will not reveal my full image in front of others, I will always speak to others in a devilish voice, I can't do all this as Bruce Wayne, and besides, I have to create an event where Bruce Wayne and my symbol appear at the same time to completely clear my suspicion!"

"You're thinking too far, Bruce!" Dante helplessly helped his head and said slowly: "First of all, strength is the foundation of everything, you must have the power to defeat all criminals, that is the real means to make them afraid!"

Speaking of this, Dante pointed to Bruce's heart.

"What's more, not everyone will be afraid of you, even if you defeat them all, you may not be able to make them afraid!" Dante smiled, he remembered the Shadow Warrior Alliance: "Remember those ninjas, I killed them, but I don't think they are afraid of me, they think they deserve to die!"

"So, I'm not going to kill them like you, I'm not going to take their lives, I'm going to keep them alive, I'm going to let them feel more of the fear that comes from me, I'm going to send them to prison, I'm going to send their accomplices to prison, I'm going to send their leaders and men to prison!" Bruce said excitedly, he felt as if he had a direction again, and even he didn't understand why he came out of the confusion so quickly!

Just because he's Bruce Wayne, Gotham's Bruce Wayne, he's tried to fight crime in his own way for seven years in a row, to understand crime, but he's never tried to understand Gotham, just like he didn't expect so many crimes on Gotham's night!

Only Wayne, who lives in Gotham, is the real Wayne!

Dante clapped his hands and said softly, "You have a good idea, send all of them to prison, right, but won't they run away, you don't think that you will make them scared as soon as you make a move!"

"That's why I'm going to turn my dark identity into a legend, they may not be afraid of me, but the memories of their constant defeat by me will haunt them!They may ignore these memories in vain, but they still carry the pressure I bring to them! Even if none of this can break them, I still have the last weapon, and the most frightening thing is the unknown!" Bruce looked very confident, and he said eloquently: "My second identity is precisely the unknown for them, they will not know who they are defeated, never!"

"So the problem is back to the beginning, you still need strength, you don't have enough means to overcome everything!" Dante nodded, he just pointed out Bruce's flaws, but he agreed with Bruce's idea, this disciple's mind and willpower are great, even comparable to his previous disciple!

Last disciple?

Dante was stunned, did I have any disciples before, why don't I remember, I always felt that I had recovered, but he still couldn't remember, what was the name of the last disciple, white hair, Nero ......?

Bruce obviously couldn't hear Dante's chaotic thoughts, he only heard Dante's questions, so he looked at Dante seriously.

"I know what I'm missing, so I have to plan for the future!" Bruce replied confidently: "Preparation and planning must always go before action, I believe that I can complete every test of your teacher, I believe that my strength will continue to grow, just as I believe that you can defeat Mephisto, so the sooner you make a plan, the faster I can put myself into my plan!"

Bruce said as he handed Alfred another piece of paper in his hand.

"Ah Fu, I need everything on the paper, can you help me get it all as you!"

Ah Fu looked at the contents written on the paper, armor, vehicles, helmets, equipment, and many, many other ideas, looking at these, Ah Fu nodded slightly.

"Master, these things should have been developed by our group, even if there is no physical object, there will be similar products, let me think about it, what kind of department is that, by the way! The Department of Applied Science, there are many experimental products that have not been mass-produced in the Department of Applied Science, and the things there will definitely meet your needs!"
