"Ah Fu!"

When Batman and Robin return to the Batcave, the Joker is gone. Alfred fell unconscious, his gun-wielding hand sliced off to the side with a sharp blade, bleeding profusely.

"Alive," Batman said, turning to Damian, "First aid kit, quick!" ”

Half an hour later.

"Afu's situation is basically stable." Damian walked over to Batman and said, "I've checked his hand, and if it's kept well enough, it should be able to be retrieved."

After a pause, he asked, "What is that bastard doing here?" There's no way he's going to take the weapons and equipment, right? Forcibly moving any equipment will only trigger self-destruct"

"He didn't take any weapons." Batman said.

Batman didn't answer directly, but tapped on the keyboard of the bat computer, and the screen quickly appeared in real time on the block.

On Nahe Island, in the neighborhood where a group of madmen had just been in full swing, this group of poisoned people actually stopped their hands in unison and stood on both sides as if they were in the middle of a road to greet the great leader. They replaced the cheers with the sound of laughter, as if they had used the last shred of strength in their bodies to laugh wildly.

And in the middle of the mezzanine, a long string of quirky collectibles is paraded down the street. Leading the way is Batman's first vintage Batmobile in Year Zero, which has long since been put into service and is now only housed in a Batcave as a collector's item. The car was followed by the giant green-skinned dinosaur, whose tail dragged a platform stacked with yellowed skulls and bones, on which stood the replica playing card.

Two large, fanged, grinning clown balloons were bolted to the end, floating in the air, one of them holding half of the fireworks in his hand.

The clown stands on the dinosaur's skull and shouts, "Who wants to have a big party!?" ”

His words were like pebbles thrown into the water of a river, causing a huge response. Everyone contributed laughter to the best of their ability, pushing the eerie party atmosphere to the top.

"So," Damian said, somewhat incomprehensibly, "this madman went to great lengths to sneak into the Batcave just to take these?" ”

Batman was still expressionless, but his fists were clenched and trembling slightly. Damien knew that his father was furious at this point.

"He's provoking me." Batman suddenly spoke, "He's laughing at me, let me go straight up to him." ”

Damian asked in a rather disgruntled tone, "So we have to endure again?" Then it's time for you to tell me you can't just step into the trap, right? ”

"Nope." Unexpectedly, Batman gritted his teeth and said, "He wants to find me, and it's good, I just want to find this crazy person!" We have a lot of accounts to settle! ”

At this moment, a loud voice came from the entrance of the cave: "I'm glad to hear you say that, Bruce." But this time, don't try to leave us out again. ”

The two of them turned their heads, only to see the other three boys of the Bat family, Nightwing, Red Hood, and Red Robin, all of them appearing together.

It was Nightwing who had just spoken. He was the first to walk forward briskly and said to Batman, "We've all seen the movement on the street outside, those things got out of the Batcave, right?" Has the Joker been to the Bat Cave? ”

"Yes, and it hurt Alfred." Batman said, "But he's in stable condition and will be fine." ”

"So you're still insisting that he doesn't know our secrets?"

Batman was silent for a moment, then said, "It's my fault about this. ”

After a pause, he said, "Once, I went to an insane asylum as Bruce Wayne to find him as an investor. And I fortified and created a few minutes alone with him. ”

"And then?"

"I pulled out the card I picked up at the Batboat and told him I found this." Batman said, "I want to see if he really knows who I am." But the truth is, he only glanced at me and didn't pay any attention to it at all. ”

Tim said, "But how can you be sure of that?"

"Because he doesn't care who Batman is under the mask, Tim." Batman said, "In Arkham City, he also had the opportunity to take off my mask, but he didn't because he didn't care and didn't want to know. But now, things have changed, he's really playing this time, and he wants to really pull the curtain down on it all. Perhaps, he was right, and after all these years, he is still just a stranger. To be honest, this time, I didn't know what to do either. ”

Several Robins exchanged glances.

"Then this time, try something new, Bruce." Dick spoke like a representative, "This time, you take us with you." We're a family, remember Bruce? We can face it together. ”

At this time, the prompt of the communication channel sounds.

Batman turned, tapped on his keyboard, and connected to the comms.

"Bat cave? This is the Winged Knight. Roy's voice came over the channel.

Batman replied, "This is Batman." ”

"I'm assuming you've seen the march in the streets, right?"

"Very clear."

"Do you have a plan now?"

"Still under consideration."

"Then you might as well try mine." Roy said, "I have a plan. ”

The roof of the ACE chemical plant

The glow of the bat's searchlight hit the murky air, and a yellow circle was projected on the clouds. Unlike usual, this time the bat mark in the center is upside down.

This is a secret agreement between Batman's enemies.

They thought the agreement was secret, but Batman himself knew about it all along. They agreed that on the night of Batman's death, they would drop a bat signal in the city's night sky.

Originally, it was the idea of the clown. Projected in the sky in honor of Gotham's Dark Knight, an upside-down bat that means resting.

Batman, Winged Knight, Batgirl, Black Bat, Nightwing, Red Hood, Red Robin, and current Robin Damian Wayne, a total of eight people gathered on this rooftop.

"You know, I've always been a little crazy," Red Hood said to Roy, "but even I think you're a little crazy about this plan?" ”

"We have no choice." "I've tested samples taken from the blood of the first infected, but the kind of ingredients contained in them can't be parsed to create an antidote. So now, our only option is to extract this ingredient from the clown's spinal fluid. ”

"But just swarming out of the crowd wearing gas masks?" Red Robin kicked the box full of masks at his feet and said, "Please, be sensible, we can't make it through a single street." ”

"Wait," Red Hood said, "what if it's just a few of us who need so many masks?" ”

"Interesting, we were just about to ask."

As the voice came, I saw the killer crocodile, the scarecrow, Bane, the poison ivy, the freezer, and the penguin man all appear on this roof. (To be continued.) )
