During his confusion, Bruce Wayne kept trying to tell himself.

Joker, he's just a mortal, just like you. There's nothing to be afraid of, he's just another madman playing with little tricks and tricks. You're Batman, and you're going to thwart his plots and defeat him, just like you always have.

Look him straight in the eye and stare back, there's nothing to be afraid of.

"Ahh

Damian came up: "Father! You're finally awake! ”

Bruce got up and said, "Yes, how bad are things with Damian?" ”

"Very bad." Damian said worriedly, "The Winged Knight went to the Gotham Elder House to look for the first case of virus carrier, hoping to find an antidote made into antibodies I have tried hundreds of antidotes that were used to deal with the clown gas, but all of them are useless." ”

Bruce frowned and thought for a moment.

"What now, father?"

"Put on your uniform and let's talk to Dr. Paul De." He said, "The Winged Knight told me about his investigation into Deco, and maybe the doctor already knew something. ”

Jim Gordon residence.

"Bang!"

The second-floor window shattered into slag, and Barbara jumped in like a dive, getting up after a tumble on the floor.

Half of the second floor of the house was already in flames, and billowing smoke spread along with the poisonous gas. Through the curtain-like layers of smoke, Barbara found her father in the corridor on the second floor.

Jim Gordon was now dying, sitting feebly against the wall on the hot floor. His face was bloodless, the edge of an axe sinking into his chest, and the white shirt was stained blood-red with blood.

"Oh! My God! Barbara couldn't help but cover her mouth.

When Gordon saw her, he forced himself and said, "Ahem, you should meet another guy, ahem, he's much worse than me." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, Jim" Barbara crouched down and gently stroked her father's face, "relax, don't talk." ”

But Gordon didn't listen and continued: "I hit him. Batgirl, you don't understand that this is wrong, hey it must be a joke. Because he got up again, coughing cough, as if he was nothing. But that shot would definitely kill him. I"

"Don't talk, don't," Barbara said, "I'll go find a first aid kit." ”

But Gordon's feeble hand tugged at her cloak.

"Don't go away"

Barbara was stunned.

Gordon laughed at himself: "Look at me, I'm not awake anymore." I don't know why, I just like to think of you as my daughter, you know, I have a daughter, about your age, and the same pretty red hair, hehe, she should be out of town by now and out of this hell of hell."

The more he spoke, the more unclear his mind became, and now his eyes were hollow, and although his gaze fell on the bat girl in front of him, perhaps he couldn't tell who he was looking at.

"You know, little ba," his voice grew quieter, "and in the last moments, with my dearest daughter by my side, I have nothing more to ask for." I've struggled all my life in this ghost city, which has taken my family and hurt me and the people I care about over and over again, but the funniest part is that I still love it. I knew in my heart that one day I would have to be buried here."

With that, he squeezed Barbara's hand.

"I love you more than anything else in this world. I just hope you can live better than your father. ”

Barbara felt a slump in her throat, she tried her best to control her tone and said, "I love you too, Daddy, you'll be fine, everyone will"

At this point, human voices could already be heard in the stairwell on the second floor. A few smiling citizens had broken down the door at some point, climbed up to the second floor, and when they found the two of them, they were like jackals that had found their prey, and they laughed and surrounded them.

Barbara gritted her teeth: "Wait for me, I'll take you out right away." ”

After saying that, she rushed at those people without fear.

She was fast and agile, and with a single shot, she broke the arm of the head-on. Of course, normally she wouldn't be so ruthless, especially when the other party is just a civilian who has been poisoned, but now is an extraordinary time, so I can only say sorry to these poisoned buddies.

If a person goes crazy desperately, the threat is really not small. And now, there are nearly ten crazy people who don't feel pain at all, and they are beating him, and they are really careless.

Barbara was anxious at the moment. Her father was lying behind her, bleeding and delirious, with a large axe embedded in his chest, his life at stake, and every second was precious. Therefore, she was ruthless, using almost all her strength with each blow.

Kicking the last person in the chest, this guy broke the railing on the second floor and fell straight to the first floor, smashing the floor down, but still lying on the ground with a smirk.

It's finally done. Barbara breathed a sigh of relief and turned around, but she never expected that Gordon, who had just been dying, had already pulled out the axe on his chest and stood up, his face became as pale as paper, the corners of his mouth were smirking, and he raised the axe and fell on his daughter.

Defenseless, Barbara had only time to reflexively stagger away from the point, the axe slashing open along with her cloak and back armor, blood flung out with the arc of the blade.

It hurts like a burning wound in my back, but what hurts more than my body is in my heart.

"Dad!"

Old Gordon seemed to have no idea what she was shouting, and continued to laugh maniacally, and raised his axe again.

Barbara gritted her teeth, threw herself forward with all her strength, grabbed Gordon by the waist, broke the wooden fence, and rolled over and fell from the second floor.

In mid-air, she tried her best to hug her father's body and turned around, using her body as a meat pad to block it underneath.

"Bang!"

The two of them landed heavily on the floor on the first floor, and Barbara felt as if all her organs were misplaced. Gordon, who already had little physical strength, finally lost his strength completely after this fall, and fell to the side and continued to giggle.

Barbara propped herself on the ground with one hand and staggered to her feet with all her might.

More clown-like maniacs came in from the outside, approaching with zombie-like steps.

Barbara struggled to even stand still, and her vision blurred. But she can't fall, because there are people behind her who must be protected no matter what.

Maybe today, I'm really going to end up here with my father, right?

She couldn't help but think of Roy again.

If he was in such a situation, there must be a way, right?

At this moment, a loud noise was heard above several people. The ceiling shattered, and a pitch-black bat fell from the sky in the midst of the rain of countless debris, rolled gracefully in the air, and half-crouched between Barbara and the madmen.

Barbra rejoiced: "Kassan!?" (To be continued.) )
