Chapter 746: Shadows (Part II)

“…… I've said a long time ago that that weirdo isn't going to be a good guy. A fat man leaned back in his chair, shaved his teeth with a toothpick, and said, "Don't you think it sounds ridiculous to save people unconditionally in Gotham?" ”

The other gentleman, who sat across from him, was a little thinner, but from the details of his cufflinks and his watch, he saw that he was richer than the fat man, and he cleared his throat and said, "That's what I'm worried about, I have no prejudice against gangsters, and I've seen a lot of gangs of snakes in the shipping industry, and as long as I feed them, my ship will be safe." ”

"But what I am most afraid of is those unemployed young people who gather together in twos and threes, who do not read good books, do not do their duty, think about petty theft all day long, and occasionally make a big mess, and I will never allow anyone under the age of twenty to come near my ship since the mast of one of my ships was blown up by them."

Next to him, a gorgeously dressed lady wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Yes, those bastards are the most terrible, and I want to see that Batman is the same." ”

"I know that this kind of saying is most popular in the university community, and those simple boys feel that they are heroes when they go out to do chivalry, so they can do whatever they want, and I don't approve of this practice the most, the young lady of the Gothic family will not worship such people."

The fat man sitting opposite him said: "Yes, madam, everyone knows that your young lady is the best educated, but I think that Batman is not so kind, they all say that he is saving people, but who did he save?" ”

The fat man, with a fork, took a piece of matsutake mushroom, put it in his mouth, and said, "Have you ever heard that your friends around you have been helped by him?" At least none of my employees have ever been blessed by him. ”

At this time, Miss Goethe spoke: "I have never heard those classmates at the girls' school mention that their friends or family members were rescued by Batman, it seems that he is just trying to make a name, and this time, it is estimated that he can't help it." ”

"Oh, miss, you go to a girls' school?" The more emaciated gentleman asked.

"Yes." Miss Goethe nodded reservedly and said, "It's a girls' school run by the church, and I've been studying in the church school, Mr. Werther." ”

Mr. Witte smiled, looked at Madame Goethe, and said, "Actually, I came to Gotham this time for the play performed by Angelica's troupe, and I have been thinking about it since I saw their performance of La Traviata, which was so wonderful. ”

"Of course, ladies should be invited to enjoy such a play, but I wonder if you and Miss Goethe will be able to enjoy it and go to see a show by Angelica's troupe with our father and son?"

Madame Goethe smiled and nodded reservedly, and several people at the table smiled with satisfaction.

And just then, there was a knock at the door, and Madame Goethe nodded to the waiter, who stepped forward, and after opening the door, Colbert entered.

More than a year has passed, his body has grown a lot, and because his appearance is relatively mature, and he is dressed exactly like an adult, it is almost impossible to tell that he is very young.

….

Cobot stepped forward. He shook Mr. Werther's hand and said, "How's the dining experience, ladies and gentlemen?" ”

"Very good, Mr. Copote, the ingredients are very fresh, but I must say, downstairs is a little too noisy, how can those porters eat with us in a restaurant?" The fat man was the first to speak.

Mrs. Goethe also helped: "Yes, when I came in, I was almost shocked by their noise, I have never seen so many unqualified people gathered together in my life, God, if my daughter had not come to try it, I would never have come to such a place in my life!" ”

Cobot lowered his head and smiled and said, "Don't say that, madam, I will allow them to come in, also because you are so kind, you can treat this place as a place like a good hall, and every consumption you make here is equivalent to doing charity." ”

Madame Goethe's brows loosened a little, pursed her lips and nodded, and said, "In that case, then even if I have a good heart, before I came, I saw that those waiters on the first floor were still children, and they would help me bring some tips later, so I should pity them." ”

Speaking of this, Miss Goethe drew a cross on her chest and said: "I am so saddened by the poor little girl mentioned in the front page headlines today, who fell into the wrong hands and died in a cold night, and I am willing to hold a choir for her, and just this weekend I wish more people would come to mourn her......"

Miss Goethe winked at her mother, and Mrs. Goethe covered her mouth again and said, "My poor Bell, who is always so sentimental, Mr. Werther, how about we go to her school together to listen to the singing after the play?" ”

"Of course, ma'am, my son is also willing to be kind."

The two exchanged glances, looked satisfied, and struck up another conversation with Copote, this time about the comedy they were about to perform.

But in the middle of the conversation, a waiter suddenly walked in, bowed his head and said a few words to Copote, with a look of horror on his face, Copote turned his head and glanced at him, and then said to the others with a smile:

"When a restaurant opens, there's always going to be a lot of trouble, isn't it? There's an untrained newbie who broke a sculpture in my office, and now he's crying in fright, I'm going to deal with it, let's ......talk about it."

With that, he departed, and when the door was closed, Mr. Witte shook his head and said, "This boss has a good sense of humor, but unfortunately he has no foresight in business......

Several others chimed in, but Copote, who had already walked upstairs, did not hear.

When I came to the office on the top floor, a dark figure was standing in front of the window, and the waiter stood outside the door, pointing at the black shadow with a trembling finger, and said to Copote, "Boss, should we call someone first?" That's like Batman......"

"No, you go out first, I'll talk to him alone." Cobot said.

"But didn't the newspapers say that Batman was a vicious child killer? Boss, let's call someone first. The waiter looked into the door and said with a little trembling.

….

Cobot stared at him with his eyes, and the waiter's voice became quieter and quieter, and then he stopped talking, and after turning to leave, he also made a gesture to Copote, which means "call me at any time".

Colbert walked in the door, knocked on his desk, looked at Batman and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"What did you do?" Batman asked.

Cobot stared at him in silence, and Batman spoke again, "You're making up the news to frame me, and the editor-in-chief of the newspaper told me that you asked him to publish the article." ”

"Batman, you don't think you don't have to pay any price after losing to me, do you?" Cobot showed a sneer and said: "You and I both know that you lose, this is the price you need to pay, ruined and scolded." ”

"You're fabricating the facts, deliberately framing you." Batman said.

Colbert lowered his head, then looked up again, looked at Batman and said, "Isn't what I'm telling the truth?" You killed the child, and her body should now be buried in a grave on the outskirts of Gotham City. ”

"In addition, the children you sent to the hospital are not getting better, and another child has gone into shock, and he is in the intensive care unit, and if nothing happens, his life will not be saved."

"Don't tell me, the bright and great Batman, I don't think this kind of situation is called failure." Cobott tapped the table with his hand again and said, "You must have investigated my restaurant before you came, and the children I took with me are doing well." ”

"Yes, they are still malnourished, they have to work every day, and they are not paid, but you can go and see now if you can take them, and if you succeed, even if you win." Colbert looked at Batman with a defiant look.

Batman would not easily fall into such a trap, Copot was encouraging him to rob people in public, which would confirm his current bad reputation, he stepped forward, stared into Copote's eyes and said, "No matter what, fabricating facts and distorting reports is a crime." ”

"Do you want to arrest me?" Cobot bared his teeth, and then, suddenly, turned and ran out the door.

Batman's anger reached and he chased straight out, and Colbert, who was more familiar with the terrain, ran all the way up the stairs

went down, and Batman knocked down the waiter waiting on the road, and didn't see him scrambling to get up to find the phone.

As soon as he reached the fifth floor, Colbert fell down the hallway, and he let out a scream of pain that caused several VIP room doors to open.

And at this time, Batman rushes down, he grabs Colbert by the collar, and punches him to hit him.

But before the fist fell on Copote, Copote began to scream, and the guests screamed, and Batman heard a familiar voice, which was that of his neighbor, Madame Goethe:

"Oh my God! Mr. Oswald!! He's been held hostage by Batman! Quick, go and call someone! This is supposed to be the jurisdiction of the Spencer family, go and call their thugs!! ”

"Batman! What are you doing?! Do you dare to kill the owner of this restaurant in public, are you crazy?!! ”

"Hurry, hurry! Call the police! The police in Gotham aren't the same garbage they used to be! They have heavy firepower! Call now! Let's just say that Batman wants to kill people!! ”

….

Batman didn't even touch Copote, but Copoch rolled on the ground and screamed incessantly, and the guests who were far away didn't even see what was going on, and began to yell along.

Batman looked at them, let go of Colbert's collar, gave him a cold look, and jumped out of the window.

Ten minutes later, Gordon opened the door to the rooftop and walked over to Batman, who was standing on the edge of the building, and he sighed and said, "Batman, what happened in that report, and what just happened, what is going on?" ”

Batman stood silently on the edge of the rooftop, and Gordon walked up to him and said to him, "You went a little too far today, and quite a few high-class people saw your performance, and they felt that you were going to jeopardize their safety, so they put a lot of pressure on the Gotham Police Department to take you away for investigation." ”

"If it weren't for the fact that I still have some status in the police department, you might be wanted by now, after all, the Iceberg Restaurant has just opened, there is a lot of traffic there, and you beat Oswald in public......"

"I didn't beat him." Batman said.

"Batman, it's been a long time since we've talked like this, and I'm not here to educate you, but I have to say, you should calm down and think about what you're doing."

"Yes, I'm sure you won't do bad things, if a little girl really dies, it may be an accident, maybe it's just a little mistake, but you should also think of ways to do good things, if it goes on like this, we will all be miserable."

"Why don't you use this to persuade yourself?" Batman said, "You should do good in a different way, you don't have to stay in Gotham." ”

"You're talking angry, Batman, you know it's not the same thing at all, if your emotions hadn't gotten out of control, I'm sure you wouldn't have made a move on Colbert in public, and since you've done that, it means that you may have had some troubles lately."

Gordon sighed and said, "You don't have to push yourself too hard, you don't have to get rid of all the sins of Gotham overnight, sometimes, you have to learn to go back to life, you have to live, don't you?" ”

Before Gordon turned to leave, he said, "Go back to your manor and live there peacefully for a few days, and don't show up again these nights, or your name will appear on the wanted notice." ”

After Gordon left, Batman's ears were filled with the cold wind howling in the Gotham night, and at this moment, another footstep was heard, and a whip was wrapped around Batman's waist, followed by a warm body.

"Honey, I've been looking for you for days, where have you been?" Catwoman's voice rang out, and she said, "You look, a little unhappy? ”

"You should read the newspapers." Batman didn't turn his head and said in a calm tone.

"I watched, but so what? I don't believe that's you. Catwoman put her arms around Batman's neck and said, "In my opinion, you're a rotten good guy who would rather sacrifice your time to have fun than save people." ”

"If you really didn't succeed in saving someone, then it means that something may have happened, but it can't be that you did it on purpose, and you seem to love strangers who are not saved more than me, right? My Jesus? ”

….

Catwoman's teasing tone loomed in Batman's ears, but it made him angry, he couldn't get used to seeing Catwoman always see everything as a game.

He ripped Catwoman's hand away, took her whip off his body, and then pushed her away, saying, "You don't have to see me, it's the same when you go to the amusement park." ”

"Please? What are you doing? Catwoman was baffled by him, and she said, "We haven't seen each other in over a week, don't you want to go around with me?" Race on the rooftops of Gotham like you used to? ”

"Selena." Batman turned around, called her by name, and said, "Not everyone can look at everything that happens to them with such a frivolous attitude like you." ”

Catwoman stared at Batman with her eyes and said, "Have you ever thought that maybe you were too serious?" ”

With that, she took two steps back, flicked her whip out of thin air, and then turned to leave.

Batman took a deep breath and closed his eyes in some pain, everyone around him had this attitude, but he was convinced that he was right.

He should have a plan for everything, he should try to improve the success rate of the plan as much as possible, he should try to reflect, summarize, do better, and keep everything under his control, this is not something too serious, this is the basis for wanting to be a good Batman.

Batman was standing on the roof of the building, overlooking the lights of Gotham, when he saw a robbery at a nearby store, and he jumped to deal with the gangsters.

But the shopkeeper, who was screaming, saw his figure, picked up his gun, pointed it at him, and shouted:

"Batman? It's Batman! Get out! Get out of my shop! Otherwise, I'm going to call the police!! ”

Batman only thought about subduing the gangsters, but the shopkeeper's shouting had already called out the owners of the other shops, and they were all armed with guns, and a grumpy shopkeeper aimed directly at Batman and fired a shot.

Batman rolled to dodge the bullet, instinctively throwing a batrang in that direction, and the shopkeeper who fired the shot dodged in a panic, the batrang grazing his hair and embedded deep in the signboard of the gate.

Batman's back, the shopkeeper's panicked expression, and the shop sign with a big hole punched out were all fixed on the front page of the next day's newspaper.

Picking up the newspaper from the neighbor's mailbox again, Bruce sighed and looked back at Wayne Manor, thinking, perhaps, it was time for Batman to take a few days off.

He was too tired from what had happened in the past few days to even concentrate, and when he returned last night, he was grazed by a stray bullet from the gangsters, and while he was recuperating, he was able to gather evidence to save his reputation.

When he returned to Wayne Manor, there was no Alfred in the hall, which made Bruce frown, and Alfred used to add wood to the fireplace at this time.

As he walked down the hall to the back garden, he heard a violent cough.

He saw that around the corner of the manor's corridor, Alfred was leaning against the wall, coughing violently and retching.

….

His old, somewhat rickety body slowly crouched down against the wall, and his dress, which was originally very rigid, had many wrinkles due to his movements.

Bruce's eyes widened, and he hurriedly ran up, he picked up Alfred, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Feeling unwell? ”

Alfred shook his head and said, "No, I have a little cold when it has cooled down recently, but I have taken my medicine, and I may be better soon." ”

"We need to go to the hospital." Bruce looked at him very seriously and said, "This doesn't look like a little cold!" ”

With that, he put his arm around Alfred, helped him into the car, and made his way to the hospital.

Ten minutes later, Bruce was the only one walking out of the hospital with a medical slip that read "Bad cold", probably caused by the rain.

Bruce didn't forget that Alfred was very anxious when Aisha ran out, and the umbrella he was holding was relatively small, and it was very windy outside.

During the run, it was almost impossible to cover the whole body with an umbrella, and when Alfred returned, Bruce

He was still drunk and racing outside, so he didn't see Alfred's soaked clothes and didn't take him to the hospital in the first place.

Standing in front of the hospital door, Bruce looked up, looked at the gloomy sky of Gotham, and clenched the diagnosis sheet in his hand.

He didn't understand why he messed everything.

Batman's reputation has been tarnished, people won't listen to him anymore, and he is now a street rat in Gotham, and maybe soon, he will be wanted by the police.

Dick would rather stay at the school than come back, Aisha is still angry with him, Alfred is hospitalized with a bad cold, Schiller is disappointed in him because of his drunken racing, Gordon feels unable to communicate with him, and Catwoman is angry with him.

Standing on the streets of Gotham City without sunlight, Bruce reached out to cover his eyes, and then slowly crouched down.

He messed up Batman's life, and he messed up Bruce's life.

In this moment, Bruce felt an irresistible despair engulf him, because he knew that he was alone again.

At this moment, Bruce suddenly felt a shadow covering the ground in front of him, and as soon as he looked up, he saw a miserable white smiling face.

"What do I see?" The clown tilted his head, made a crying face, and said, "...... A sad little bat! Oh! Come here, let me hug you! Hahahahaha!!ha ”

The clown laughed and opened his arms, and his arms were full of bombs.
