Gotham is a city of heritage and history, and it was one of the first large cities to emerge on the East Coast, with a current population of 800 people, and in fact, if its notoriously poor security had been better, the city's population could have doubled by a third.

The oldest local family that appeared at the same time as Gotham City is actually not only the Wayne family, but there are three other families, but in the passage of time, the other three big families have declined, and only the Wayne family, which has a peaceful style of doing things and has always been rooted in the local area, has survived.

On the outskirts of Gotham City, a vast private territory with forests, lakes and hills, is like a geopark, and is the home of the Wayne family, the famous Wayne Castle, which was burned down four years ago but has long since been rebuilt.

And a few months ago, the owner of this castle finally returned to the place where he was born, and with the hostess, and the next generation of little masters of this place, it was like a soul returning to the body, making this place, which was always cold before, become more and more humane.

"Master Demian, where have you been?"

Four years later, Alfred, who was getting older, struggled to use a cane to call out the name of his little master in the criss-crossed castle gardens.

Although he has said countless times that he needs to enjoy a good retirement, for Alfred, who has served the Wayne family for most of his life and is regarded by Bruce Wayne as a real relative, this is his real home, especially after hearing that the young master has also returned to Gotham, the old Ah Fu flew back to Gotham from Rome by private jet for the first time.

He couldn't wait to use the time he had left to cultivate another excellent heir for the Wayne family.

On this point, neither Rachel Wayne nor Bruce Wayne have any objections, for these two guys, Ah Fu is also their elder.

"Damian, good boy, don't hide, come out quickly, follow old Ah Fu to lunch, your parents will be back soon, you don't want them to teach you a lesson, do you?"

The rare warm sunlight in Gotham City shines on the ground through the woods in the garden, and the sound of birds around makes the garden seem more and more secluded, and the old Ah Fu is on crutches, shouting earnestly on the path, but there has been no response, just when Ah Fu turned the corner in front of him, he saw the little young master leaning against the trunk of a tree, his leg was scarred, and a man in a black trench coat was squatting there, talking to him.

Ah Fu's somewhat chaotic gaze instantly sharpened, and he rushed over with a vigorous pace that did not match his age, and waved the cane in his hand high, like an old lion protecting his cubs,

"Stay away from Master Damien!"

"Bang"

The cane was held firmly by the gloved hand, and Cyber turned around, holding the ignorant little Damien in his other hand, he took off his sunglasses and looked at the old Ah Fu with a smile,

"Long time no see, Alfred. ”

Ah Fu looked at the face in front of him that didn't seem to have changed at all over the years, and there was a look in his eyes that he didn't know whether to be relieved or surprised, and he breathed a sigh of relief,

"Cyber... I knew that I wanted people like you... It's not going to die so easily. ”

Cyber shrugged his shoulders, let go of Ah Fu's cane, and handed the little Damien in his arms to Ah Fu,

"This little cutie has accidentally fallen into that hole, like a knight who has been trapped on an expedition, and if I hadn't happened to be there, he would have spent the night in the dark. ”

He glanced at the little master's wound, and Ah Fu, who looked distressed, said softly, "I found the bat cave by mistake, it seems that this kid is really talented, and he really has Wayne's blood." ”

"Hey, I'd rather he didn't have talent, or even be a playboy. ”

Ah Fu took out the handkerchief from his bosom and said to Cyber while wiping Damian's wounds,

"Come on, sit down, Bruce will be back soon. ”

Cyber hesitated, but looking at little Damien's curious eyes, he nodded and followed Ah Fu into Wayne Castle.

Ten minutes later, Cyber sat lazily on the sofa, looking at Master Wayne who walked out with Ah Fu's hand, he changed his clothes, and the movement of his left leg remained somewhat unchanged, the kind of abrasion was unbearable for a child, but the child's face was pale and silent.

It can be seen that he is a strong boy, but at the same time he is not a good talker, and he only said 2 words to Cyber along the way when he was carried out of the bat cave.

Ah Fu went to prepare lunch, leaving Damien and Cyber sitting on the sofa facing each other, the child looking at Cyber curiously, and Cyber looking at him.

"Does it hurt?"

Cyber asked, and Damien hesitated a little, but finally nodded, lowered his head and said,

"It hurts. ”

"Then why don't you cry?"

Cyber asked, "Isn't it painful for a child to cry?"

Damien looked up at him and said in a childish voice,

"My dad also had a lot of scars, but he never cried, and my mom said it was a sign of manhood, so I couldn't cry either. ”

"yes, yes, your dad is a man. ”

Cyber smiled, "He's still a hero, a hero of this city. ”

The children's interest is easy to guess, and when Cyber talks about it, Damien's eyes immediately widen,

"Mom and Dad never talk about their past, can you tell me his story? Why does Ah Fu also say that my father is a hero?"

Looking at Damian's pleading gaze, Cyber thought for a moment,

"Well... But it's a long story, don't you need to do your homework?"

Master Wayne patted his chest and said proudly,

"I've done my homework a long time ago, and I'm still at least two hours before my parents come back, so I'll have plenty of time to finish your story. ”

"Well, well... Then I'll start talking, this is a story about the red, devil and black bats that run rampant in Gotham, and at the beginning of the story, it was in the docklands, and the docklands were a..."

Alfred brought lunch, but he didn't disturb the story of Seber and Master Damien, Bruce was reluctant to tell the past because he felt that the stories of the past were meaningless, but now that one of the protagonists of the story had returned, it was fitting that he could tell it himself.

So when Bruce Wayne and Rachel Wayne returned to Wayne Castle after a day of work and were tired, they saw their son, shouting and waving his fists for joy, and an old friend who was sitting on the couch with his back to them and telling stories.

"Daddy, Mommy!"

Damien saw his parents walking into the room, and he ran up, the wound on his left leg was still a little painful, but he ran very fast, and threw himself into the arms of the somewhat surprised Bruce Wayne with a completely different shy enthusiasm than before, which embarrassed Rachel who opened his hands next to him.

Damien used to be very close to his mother, but he was estranged from his father, who had a serious face.

"Daddy, Daddy, are you Batman? the hero who flies over Gotham at night and beats up the villains? You beat the Joker and save the city several times?"

Faced with the ardent anticipation in his son's eyes, Bruce gritted his teeth,

"No, kid... That's just a story. ”

Damien's eyes darkened, but at this moment, Cyber whispered,

"Come on, Bruce, how long are you going to hide from little Damien? The blood of heroes flowing in his veins will not be extinguished, and my advice to you is to give him the right guidance when he still needs to grow, lest this child go down the wrong path. ”

He got up from the couch and turned around, and the moment he saw his face, Rachel covered her mouth and screamed, tears blooming in her eyes, and she threw herself up and gave Cyber a warm hug,

"I knew... I knew you weren't going to die so easily, and I knew that, ah, thank God, he sent you back. ”

Cyber patted Rachel on the shoulder, and he turned his gaze to Bruce Wayne, who was also frozen in place, with a smile in his eyes.

"Admit it, Bruce, tell your children, your loved ones, stories of the past, and make them proud of you. ”

Bruce Wayne looked at his son, he saw the excitement in Damian's eyes and the anticipation he had never felt before, and he took a deep breath,

"Well... Well, son, your dad is... Batman. ”

"Yay!!"

Damien jumped out of Bruce's arms, held his hands high, and circled around the living room, "Yay! My dad is a superhero!"

5 minutes later, in Bruce's study, Cyber and Bruce sat face to face, Cyber briefly talked about himself in the past 4 years, and then turned the conversation to Bruce,

"You've been traveling the world with Rachel for three years, that's a bit too long, isn't it?"

Seber sucked a cigar and winked at him, "Damien was born in your journey? ”

"No, no, no, it's not what you think. ”

Bruce, who looked more mature, waved his hand, "It's not a globetrotch, actually, we spent 2 years in Nepal, there is a special temple there, Rachel and I love the environment, if it weren't for Damian's birth, we probably would have stayed there." ”

"Nepal?"

Cyber frowned, he reached out and nodded on the table, and suddenly said a place name, "Kama Taj?"

"Huh?"

Bruce's eyes widened, "You know that place too?"

"The Ancient One?"

Cyber said another name, and Bruce's curiosity intensified, "Do you still know the Ancient One?"

"Well... I don't ask!"

Cyber raised his hands in surrender, "I don't want to know anything about the Ancient One, but I have to say, you're lucky, Bruce, the world is looking after you, but I'm here to say goodbye." ”

He looked at Batman in front of him with clear eyes, "I'm leaving Gotham, I don't know how long it will be before I come back next time, if you're not lucky enough, you may never see me again in your life..."

Bruce tried to speak, but was stopped by Cyber's outstretched hand.

"Wait until I'm done... I'd like to warn you about something, Bruce, some "old friends" are back, and you may sound incredible, but they're really coming back from hell, and their target is you, Bruce Wayne, or rather, Batman!"

"But I'm not Batman anymore!"

Bruce whispered, "Batman is dead!

"Hehe... Looks like you still don't understand what I mean, Bruce. ”

A flash of red glint flashed in Cyber's eyes, and he took something out of his pocket and placed it on the desk in front of him, it was a clown poker wrapped in the power of shadows, which made Batman freeze in place, "They're back! They're in the city! You can't fool them! One of them is your toughest opponent ever!"

"Joker?"

Bruce's eyes waited to the extreme, and Cyber shrugged,

"More than... It's everyone! An unprecedented game has begun, Bruce, the worst thing is that you are not qualified to refuse, the opponent is menacing, you will not stop until you achieve your goal, get ready for the batsuit, Bruce... A fierce battle is coming!"

"You can't escape, you can't escape, either you admit that you lost and you're a crazy person, or you just punch them in the face, just like before!"

Cyber picked up his sunglasses from the table and put them on his face, he shrugged,

"But the good news isn't without that... I can't say too much, but... Gotham, don't get out of here, here, you will be Batman forever, as long as your will is not broken, you will never lose! Bruce, this is your own war, this time, I can't help you. ”

He stood up and walked to the door of the study, and as he stepped out of the room, Bruce whispered,

"I... I didn't want to wear that outfit anymore, Bruce Wayne got everything he wanted, so Batman... It shouldn't be seen again. ”

Cyber's footsteps paused for a moment, and he chuckled,

"Hehe, that's the most interesting part of this story, most of the time, we don't actually have much power to resist, at least in the face of this, you can't refuse... I can probably guess that you don't think there's anything left to get you back to that time, no!"

Cyber twisted the door open and walked out.

"It seems to me that now you have more reasons to put on the batsuit again, but instead of fighting for the city, it's for you, for Rachel, for Afu, for little Damien... You're stronger than ever, Bruce, a man who can give everything for something, a man who has persistence in his heart... It's impossible to be defeated!"

"Awaken your other self, Bruce, to be the shadow of fear that soars over this city, leaving you with time to hesitate... Not much. ”

"To become... Eternal Batman!"

His somewhat frantic voice floated down the hallway,

"Listen, look! The drums of war have been beaten, the smoke of gunpowder has risen, the knights have lined up, the curtain of war has risen into the sky, the cycle of reincarnation has not stopped, the battle has not stopped, the road of heroes... This is just the beginning. ”

He walked out of Wayne Castle, and a boy in pajamas leaned on the window and waved at him.

"Goodbye, Uncle Cyber, welcome to the next time! I love your story!"

Cyber turned his head and looked at little Damien, he waved his hand, and a silver light flashed a brilliant trajectory in the air, as if cutting through the darkness, and finally flew towards little Damien, falling at the highest point, and was picked up by the little boy.

Damien looked at the heavy thing in his hand, it looked like a toy, it was a finely carved silver bat knife, with a wide handle in the center that could be held, but the bat's outstretched wings on both sides had been bladed, and the cold light was overflowing.

On the back of the Bat Knife, a line of text is engraved in twisted flame text that only Damien can see, "For Damien Wayne, a late birthday present from the Red Devil." ”

Cyber took out the silver-white ghost face from his arms, clasped it on his face, commanded with two hands, and shook it at little Damien, the crimson flames rose from under his feet, and quickly wrapped him all over, like a real devil, and disappeared in place, in fact, it was just Cyber who flashed into the darkness with super speed, but he was willing to leave a perfect ending for a child that was worth remembering for a lifetime.

But this magical scene made little Damien freeze in place, and after a while, the flames flew away, forming a burning bat emblem on the ground, and the child held the bat knife in his hand tightly, his eyes full of surprise and shock, and turned and rushed out towards the bedroom door.

"Coooool!Red.Devil!He's really Red.Devil!Mommy... Uncle Cyber is really red, the devil! those stories, those stories are true!"

The story of Batman has been restarted... The story of Cyber is about to continue to set sail.
