"I was sluggish when silence came into my life and began to set traps for me." Bruce said to himself, "There are a lot of things I should have thought of, and a lot of the traps I should have foreseen." And the clues he left behind, I should have unearthed the truth. Because of my fault, many people close to me have been hurt because of it. ”

Roy shook his head: "I don't know if you've heard of it, there is an old saying in China called 'the authorities are confused'." Sometimes, even the brightest minds can't solve a mystery while they're in the middle of a puzzle. You are at the heart of this incident, so it's normal for you to be in the middle of a mystery and not see through the problem, and you don't have to blame yourself for it. ”

"Things were supposed to get worse." Bruce continued, "More people could get hurt, or even die. If things get worse, silence might really be able to destroy me. He almost managed to get me to kill the Joker, and he took advantage of my ego by almost detonating the armory I was hiding directly under Wayne Enterprise, and my assets could even be frozen."

He sighed lightly: "I don't want to admit it, but it's true. After so many years of training, I should have been able to think from the opponent's point of view and think three more moves than my opponent in the game, but this game was the same as the countless games that Thomas and I played when we were children, and I lost. ”

After another pause, he deliberately accentuated his tone: "If it weren't for you." ”

Roy waited quietly and did not interject.

"You stopped me when I almost lost control; In the end, when Thomas tried to blow up my eighteenth arsenal, you showed up in time to stop him. Not to mention the huge disruption to his overall plan caused by your relentless pursuit of him before that. "You've done what I haven't, you've solved the mystery of Silence's identity and seen through his entire plan." I think I owe you a 'thank you'. ”

Roy smiled slightly and said, "No need, you've helped me more." ”

"Everything you do proves your strength." Bruce continued, "I have one more problem, my eighteenth arsenal, which is not recorded in any of my databases. How did you know it existed? ”

"Empathy." Roy said lightly, "I understand what kind of person you are, and I know that you will be prepared for any situation." So I put myself in the shoes of Batman, and if I were Batman, I would probably also choose to leave a backup base near Wayne Tower, after all, there are too many dangerous and valuable things hidden in the building, and the consequences if they are controlled by outsiders are unimaginable. Based on this reasoning, I found this place by analyzing the structure of the building and adding a little guesswork. ”

Bruce nodded, "Very powerful." This proves that I made the right decision. ”

"What decision?"

Bruce didn't answer directly, but instead said, "When you fought Silence, you seemed to be wearing that armor?" ”

Roy shrugged helplessly: "He got himself a set first, I have no choice." If I don't do that, I can't deal with him. ”

"No, you're doing a good job." "Actually, the armor is still in the process of being tested. I developed it to deal with some potential threats. ”

"Like Superman?"

"There's this idea." Bruce is not shy about admitting, "Superman is dangerous, and if he gets out of control, the consequences are unimaginable, so we have to be prepared." ”

Thinking of the unpleasant part of the last time he saw Superman, Roy shrugged, "I think you're right. But to be honest, this iron shell is not enough to look at in front of Superman. ”

"So it's a trial, and it's still in the development stage. However, at the moment, carrying him a few punches, and even the impact of hot eyesight should barely be done, provided that he doesn't want to kill you. ”

Roy nodded approvingly. If Superman really had murderous intent against him, then of course, a few pieces of high-tech iron would not be able to play much of a protective role.

"Keep it if you like." "Later you may face much more powerful enemies, and you will find that in some cases this is necessary. ”

"Then I'll be respectful and obey."

Bruce smiled and said, "Actually, that's the most important thing I've called you to talk about today." I have already said hello to Mr. Lucius Fox. From today onwards, any equipment and equipment in the scientific research department of Wayne Technology, as long as you look at it, you can take it at will. ”

The proposal came as a complete surprise to Roy.

"Well, you know you have some things in your research department that are worth millions or even can't be bought in the market, right?"

Bruce chuckled lightly: "If it weren't for you helping me keep my current property, those things would have changed their surnames by now." So if you want me to say it, now you have a share of them. ”

Roy frowned, still skeptical.

It's impossible not to be surprised, even Nightwing, the closest member of the Bat family, doesn't seem to have the privilege of "taking whatever you want" - although he usually wouldn't refuse to borrow equipment from Batman.

But since everyone has decided so, it's not a bad thing.

"Thank you." Roy said.

"I need an assurance, though." Bruce looked at him solemnly, "If one day in the future, I lose control and cross the line and become one of the crazy people I've spent my whole life fighting against, I want you to stand up and stop me." ”

Roy replied with the same seriousness: "I promise." ”

Bruce patted him on the shoulder and said no more.

In fact, there were other things he didn't say.

So far, he has bred three generations of Robin. Each of them had their own strengths and characteristics, but none of them did he really feel fit to inherit his cloak.

Of all the members of the family, Alfred was the only one who knew that he was working on a crazy plan.

In order to prevent the world from needing Batman one day in the future, when he is too old to put on his robes again, Bruce decides to "make" a successor himself. He wanted to clone himself with the world's most advanced technology, and instill all the memories of himself before the age of twenty-seven into this new body.

However, in all the simulations so far, the clones who have been instilled with his memories have ended up dying of madness and depression.

Because Batman is carrying too much, everything he has experienced in his life will drive most individuals crazy.

And now, he saw a new way out, and it was in this young man named Roy Green.

Perhaps, one day, this young man will be able to achieve more than he does. (To be continued.) )
