Chapter 255: Cracks

The smoke cleared, and Solomon fell to the ground feebly.

Beidou Assassination Boxing, inherited from the ultimate martial arts of the "Beidou Fist" world, has been handed down since ancient times in the Shura Kingdom to study the principle of human meridians. Shooting is a ruthless trick that kills with one blow, and it is a martial art that has been walking on the killing path for thousands of years. If it is against ordinary enemies, Batman will definitely not use the essence of this martial art; But after a fight, he had already understood the strength of the other party, the other party was a strong man who had surpassed the mortal realm, and it was impossible to keep his hand in the struggle between life and death.

"Stand up, or is that all you have to do?"

Batman picked up Solomon, who had fallen to the ground, and the girl named Gage stood in the corridor more than ten meters away with her arms crossed, standing in the corridor with a mocking smile on her face. Wayne felt a slight uneasiness.

The "Solomon" in his hand was soft, as if his bones had been completely broken. He raised his hand feebly, grabbed his hair, and tore his entire face off, revealing the Joker's miserable white face. The bright red lip gloss was drawn to the base of the ears in one breath, the green variegated hair was piled up unkemptly on the top of the head, and the cloudy topaz color was gradually fading in the tiny pupils that were locked like needles.

"Congratulations...... You...... My old ...... Friend. This is my worst ...... Joke ......"

Even a thunderbolt coming down from the top of his head wouldn't have shocked Batman more than he did now, and he pressed the broken human body in his hand against the wall and roared:

"Impossible! That's impossible! In such a short period of time, it is impossible for you to swap places with him...... Or rather, you can't have the strength of Rohm! This is not true! It's just another illusion. ”

In his hands. The clown had already spat out a string of blood foam with fragments of internal organs, still with a satisfied smile on his face. Slowly stopped the beating of the heart.

"Your Highness Solomon's human body modification technique is not something you can imagine, there are several ways to make Mr. Clown achieve the same force as His Highness in a short period of time - the aftermath will be serious. But Mr. Clown insisted on cooperating with our planβ€”and we just went with the flow. Standing in the distance, the Mechanic Warlock looked at Batman with a slightly gloating expression, and the latter slowly lowered the human body in his hands, his expression hidden under the black mask, but judging by his body language, he was already in a state of utter confusion.

Breaking his own precepts, Gotham City's rearmost line of defense collapsed. In the blues. In Wayne's heart, this moment was like endless darkness finally engulfing him. He couldn't help but reminisce once again about the punch that had penetrated into his body just now, and the hearty release and destructive power of that moment. In this second, he finally realized the most profound meaning recorded in this martial arts book.

Joker, the old enemy who has been fighting with him for an unknown amount of time, this original, longest-lived, and most treacherous enemy, just like the mirror of Batman, he can be seen as the Batman after the fall, using his strength and wisdom as he pleases, and laying out this world into what he wants. This Apostle of Chaos. The prince of the criminals finally tasted death under the fists of his old enemy. In this gloomy city, there will be countless people cheering for his death, and countless people raising their glasses and drinking. But only one person won't.

That's Batman.

"Father's ......"

Damian was the first to react among those present, having grown up under the nurturing of the League of Assassins. Wayne instilled his own philosophy. But the young teenager didn't find it so unacceptable to kill the clown. Although he understood the significance of this incident to Batman, the teenager was still thinking about how to stabilize his father's emotions first. And then...... Dispose of the corpse.

Batman's son doesn't want his father to be punished by the law for this, and this is a case of unquestionable justifiable self-defense. Through Wayne Enterprises' wrists. Damian was sure that he would smooth it out, but the problem was his father, who was too strong-willed, and in many cases, this will became a moral shackle that imprisoned him.

When Gage stepped forward and tried to take the body away, Damian drew his slinger and made his attitude clear with his movements: "This body is the evidence we are about to hand over to the police station, if it is okay, please leave." Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude. ”

The girl stared at him coldly for a few seconds, then turned and jumped out of the window, and then two streams of flames erupted from the soles of her feet, flying towards the distant city of Gotham.

Batman didn't take off his coat either, he just sat weakly on the couch and stared at the clown's corpse lying on the ground opposite. Damien stood quietly behind his father, silently feeling his father's mood at the moment.

"Do you need me to contact the Justice ......?"

"No!"

Batman subconsciously cut off, and Damian's overly rough tone surprised him, but he soon realized that his tone was a little rough, and he tried his best to calm his voice, and said to his son:

"Damian...... Now you can go to Wayne Enterprises. Do your best to get the company back up and running. I'll take care of this matter myself...... Don't inform anyone, including Nightwing and Sage, don't mention this to anyone, I'll take care of it. ”

The boy looked at his father for a while before he left uneasily, which was still the effect of Batman's years of accumulation. The young and precocious little Robin could see that his father was in a very wrong state at the moment.

When Damian left, there was silence in the room.

Batman didn't know what to do now, and a thousand thoughts rushed towards his hardened mind from all corners.

He was really confused at the moment.

After sitting for a while, he suddenly remembered Alfred. Finally finding a temporary target, he immediately ran to the living room, he didn't want to be with the clown's corpse at all, he always felt that maybe the next minute, this guy would get back on his feet, and then use some inexplicable trick on himself, such as a brooch that spewed venom, or something - maybe it would make him feel better.

Under the effect of the hypnotic gas, Alfred still fell asleep on the ground. Wayne carefully carried the old man back to his room and settled him down. Then he fell into confusion again, and the clown's corpse in the other room was like a time bomb, hanging in his mind, exuding a gloomy aura all the time. It was raining lightly outside the window, Bruce. Wayne found that he was alone again at the moment.

After becoming Batman, he suddenly discovers that this is the first time he feels so lonely. No friends, no enemies.

He returned to the room, the place where the battle had ended, and stared for a long time at the corpses on the ground, with green hair and blue eyes, the great enemy was now nothing more than a pile of decomposing corpses.

So he picked him up, and the body in his arms was as heavy as a stone, and he never imagined that such a day would come. Batman walked through the corridors of Wayne's mansion with the Joker in his arms, passing through the doors, his aimless gaze swept over the rows of portraits of the ancestors, and the same oil paintings were reflected in the Joker's dead and unclosed eyes. His whole body was decaying rapidly, and his eyes, which were originally chaotic and dirty, were now like wax, revealing a gray that only dead people have.

He walked to the basement door and opened the basement door with iris and fingerprint double authentication, followed by an old-fashioned elevator. There are only two buttons on the panel of this elevator, one up and one down.

The elevator goes all the way down and plunges into the darkness.

After darkness, there is the incandescent light of industrial lighting appliances. Heavy water vapor blows in the face, this is the underground of Wayne Manor, the Batcave, Batman's mysterious base. Tucked away in a deep crypt behind a waterfall, the nocturnal realm inhabited by millions of bats. As Batman walks into the cave, countless bats walk through the cave like guardians of the king of the night.

Amid the whistling of countless wings, Batman walked through the magical facilities step by step with the Joker in his arms. Batfighters, Batmobiles, Batmobiles, Batmobiles, Batboats...... A huge array of servers and interfaces, a training ground that can simulate any scenario, rows of batsuits with dozens of different models and multiple backups...... Black and silver-gray, these are the only two colors in this place.

He eventually stopped at the highest platform in the crypt, where he held skeeps collected over the years as a vigilante. Huge lifelike dinosaur statues, larger-than-human coins, and ...... A giant two-meter-tall card carved with the eerie smiling face of a clown. He stayed here for a long time, immersed in the memories of the past, those days when he ran around in the night, casting the shadow of a bat in the night sky, and putting his figure into infinity in the night.

He then continued until he reached the end of the cavern.

In the bow of the bats, Batman's black figure stands at the highest point in the cavern, in front of the cliffs of the bottomless underground river. He stood there for a long time, like a gargoylee in the darkness of the night, like a statue. A thick darkness enveloped him, and he was the faintest of all the dark clouds, and as time passed, his form disappeared into the darkness.

"See you again."

The goodbye was so light that no one could hear it, and Batman threw the Joker's body into the dark river, flowing down the veins of water underground.

Then he turned and walked away.

About two hours later, a wet hand climbed the rock wall. (To be continued......)
