Chapter 553: The Fate of Mockery
Years ago, Crime Alley. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Daddy...... I'm so cold......"
Thomas pressed his hands desperately against his son's wounds, red blood staining his entire palm.
Bruce ...... Bruce, please hold on...... Martha! ”
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced in the direction of his wife, who was huddled in a huddle in the corner of the wall, trembling and muttering to himself in a trembling voice, "No...... This is not true...... Thomas, please tell me this is not true! ”
Thomas cried out in a hurry and rage, "This is true, Martha! You've got to get help! ”
"Where do I go......
"Go back to the theater! Call the police! Call an ambulance! Thomas yelled, "For God's sake, don't just sit there!" ”
Martha Wayne left the gloomy alley with trembling steps, and Thomas continued to stay with his son in the cold and gloomy place.
"You're going to be fine, Bruce...... Can you hear me? Bruce! Say something! Please! ”
By the time Martha Wayne finally arrived in the alley with a police officer, Bruce Jr. was completely lifeless. The man with an iron will was hugging the child's body tightly, tears in his eyes mixed with blood from the corners of his mouth.
"No!!"
Martha's desperate and mournful screams echoed throughout Crime Alley for a long time.
Right now.
As if he had pounced from the darkest corner, the clown smashed a small hammer into the back of Thomas's head, shouting, "Miss me!" My dear!? ”
Thomas, who recalls the scene of Bruce's death from the cold corpse of a dead child, is completely undefended, but Roy is not. He quickly dodged the hammer and grabbed Martha's arm and threw her over the shoulder, slamming her against the carpet.
But after so many years, Martha Wayne actually has a lot of skills, her body is flexible and rolls like a water snake to break free of the restraints, gets up and glares at Roy viciously: "It's none of your business here!" I don't care about you! ”
Thomas also turned around, but his eyes were no longer as sharp as before.
"Martha...... Don't go on like this......" he said in an almost pleading tone, "I took you back to Arkham again and again, and then you escaped again and again, killing more people until I got you back...... You know how we can only end up like this. ”
"yes, I know." Martha smiled timidly, with the bright lipstick on her mouth and the gums exposed by the cracked corners of her mouth, revealing an inhuman hideousness, "But what's wrong? You see, I'm smiling all the time now, isn't that what you want? ”
Rewind time to many years ago.
The manor bedroom, filled in a dark hue, was littered with pictures of Bruce and a few photo albums spread out. Martha Wayne was sobbing in front of the window in her dressing gown.
Thomas patted her on the shoulder: "It's been too long, Martha......"
"I miss Bruce so much."
"He's gone, you have to accept reality." Thomas paused, hung his head, and said, "Also, I miss him too...... And your smile. ”
He hugged his wife tightly.
The day after that, Thomas Wayne went to the island of Nai Ho and found Joe Kill. He had a knife with him - of course Thomas Wayne couldn't have gotten a gun, he just needed a knife to really feel the thrill of slashing his enemies.
He succeeded, and that night Joe Chill's head was chopped off.
Thomas returned to the manor as soon as possible, found his wife sitting in front of the window, and couldn't wait to tell her the news.
"Martha...... He's dead, Joe Chill ......"
He paused, unable to finish the rest of the sentence.
"I know, Thomas...... Look," Martha Wayne turned her head slowly, the corners of her mouth bloodied from the sharp knife, "I'm laughing......"
Back to the present.
"Do you know how much of a failure you have? Old guys! ”
Martha roared and threw Thomas to the ground, striking the bat-shaped helmet with a small hammer.
"I know." Thomas didn't even resist, "My hands were bloody, but nothing changed. ”
"Liar, how can an angry person have self-knowledge......"
Roy swept her away from Thomas with a kick.
"You!" She exasperated, "Who the hell are you!?" It's between us, get the fuck off! ”
As soon as the words fell, her arm was raised, and a cloud of acid rushed to her face. This one is extremely stealthy and extremely fast, and it is difficult to dodge without preparation.
Thankfully, Roy was trained by another clown to have an almost instinctive reflex, raising his arm to block the acid with the armor on his wrist.
"I'm a Winged Knight. I am...... Your children, Bruce's ...... Friend. ”
Both of them stopped moving, staring at him with complicated expressions.
"Boy," Thomas gritted his teeth, "you know what a bad joke it is, right?" ”
"I'm serious." Roy glanced at the two of them with sad eyes, and said lightly, "Many years ago, a couple entered the alley with a child, and they encountered a robber. Two gunshots rang out...... Both parents fell, and the children survived and were brought up by their faithful old butler. ”
The two were silent for a while.
"I know what you're thinking, and I know how ridiculous the story is." "But that's the true version of the story...... I originally came from a timeline like this, and it was Bruce who helped me become a winged knight. ”
Absurd stories, for most people to tell this, I'm afraid they don't have much chance of believing it, let alone Batman, who is suspicious by nature.
But it's different for these two.
For these two people, this version of the story will be the only hope they have seen in this dark world for so many years. It's not so much that they're simply persuaded by the story, but that they'll believe it willingly.
"Even if what you say is true." "What can you do to turn this fucking fact back into what you say it should be?" ”
"I'm not sure, but I do have an idea." Roy said, "At least it's worth a try." ”
In a moment, Martha stopped laughing, as if she had returned to a mother who had lost her beloved son.
She asked in a trembling voice, "Tell me...... Bruce ...... What happened to us after we died? ”
He ...... Inherited his father's business. ”
"Doctor?"
"Nope." Roy glanced at Thomas, as if casually.
As if electrocuted, the two of them were stunned.
"Bat...... Hahahaha! ”
All of a sudden, she reverted to her original madness, and Dr. Bang Bang broke through the window and jumped from the second floor.
"Martha!"
Roy and Thomas jumped off the trail, and three figures scurried through the weeds of the manor.
"Joke! Thomas! Everything is a joke...... Ahh!!hhhhh ”
The sound stopped abruptly, and Martha Wayne fell vertically under her feet.
The two of them rushed there, only to find a cave hidden by weeds, leading deep into the pitch black underground. The bats were so startled by the falling Martha that they rushed out in droves and rushed into the night sky around the two of them.
Roy remembers that this was the cave where Bruce had fallen as a child.
This is where the Bat Cave was discovered. (To be continued.) )
