The dark highway is filled with the occasional headlights, flashing brightly, and the trucks sped through the rainy night, splashing huge waves above the thin rain on the road.

The shadow of the town loomed on the distant skyline, and the moment a truck stopped at the toll gate, a vine protruded from the crack in the window and stuck to the neck of the policeman who walked to the cargo box to check the goods.

Another figure had already scurried into the toll booth, and soon the pole was raised, the truck

Continue galloping towards the distant town.

When the lights of the headlights also disappeared in the dark and rainy night, above the toll booth, the sign with the name of the city glowed with a cold light - "Brughhaven".

The truck drove all the way into the underground cold storage, and when Poison Ivy got out of the car, she looked at Peter in disbelief and said, "Didn't you say that you have only been in Gotham for less than a month?" You've even got a base ready in Brughhaven. ”

"I didn't prepare it." Peter shook his head and said, "I only found out after I got the permission to use the Batcomputer, that Batman's first assistant used to operate here, and set up more than ten safe houses in the city, and I just borrowed one of the most secretive ones. ”

"Ma'am, please give them another injection of anesthetic, make sure they don't wake up for 24 hours, and then you can choose to stay here, or continue to go back with me."

There was a hint of hesitation on Poison Ivy's face, but to Peter's surprise, Poison Ivy said, "I'll go with you, I have to go back to Gotham." ”

"Can you take the liberty of asking why?"

Poison Ivy rolled her eyes slightly, then looked at Peter and said, "I know how dangerous you are, boy, no matter what stormy waves you make in Gotham tonight, you can't really hurt the plants there." ”

"And I'm not as alone as you think, the chaos you stirred up between Scarecrow, Penguin, and Batman is bound to spread throughout Gotham, and I want to go back to stay with Harley and make sure she's never interested in you and your plans, it's difficult."

"Then get in the car." Peter opened the door of the wagon again and boarded the compartment, then said, "It's not far from dawn." ”

The truck slowly drove out of the darkness at the exit of the underground cold storage, and what Peter didn't notice was an inconspicuous red point of light in a corner of the extremely deep darkness, and it flickered a few times.

As soon as he returned to Gotham City, Peter received a communication from Batman.

"Where are you, Peter, answer me."

"I'm on Leksey Island." Peter replied, "Poison I've told me there's a Harley Quinn base, and we're heading there to see if we can find any trace of Barbara and Gordon." ”

"Come back now, I have other tasks for you."

Peter's hand holding the steering wheel paused, then replied, "Okay, I'll turn around right away." ”

The poison ivy girl next to him looked at him and said, "Are you going back to the Bat Cave?" So put me down here. ”

"You go back with me, but don't go in, and once I signal you, find a way to make some movement and lure Batman over."

"You're crazy, I'm not going to Batman!" Poison Ivy turned her head back, shook her head, and said, "I've been avoiding this before, it's not a good thing to be a thorn in his side, he has a ready-made hostage on hand - his estate has the most exotic flowers and plants in all of Gotham. ”

"But we moved them all."

Poison ivy was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Peter, and said in surprise, "You shouldn't have reached this point earlier, right?" ”

"I'm not asking you to fight him, just like other supercriminals, make a fuss, get caught by him, and leave before he arrives, it's as simple as that."

Poison Ivy sighed and said, "I'll help you one last time, then you have to promise me that after this is over, go to my laboratory and help me do a chemical analysis of plant toxins." ”

"Perfect trading conditions, ma'am, please."

Peter made it all the way back to the Batcave, first went to the changing room, changed out of his uniform, and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Amid the roar of the water, Batman's voice sounded outside the door: "Peter, how long are you left?" We're going to have a combat meeting. ”

"Right now, sir, by the way, can you help me ask Mr. Alfred if my clothes are dry?" Where do I find them? ”

Batman left, and in the sound of the water, Peter, who was lying in the bathtub, sighed relaxedly, and began to review in his mind the process of executing the entire plan, and make sure that nothing was missed.

Peter's topic for this exam is Batman, of course, not to cure Batman.

It's not just that it's too difficult to cure Batman, but that Peter wants to be a psychiatrist, and it doesn't make sense to specialize and study in this area, and it's not cost-effective to pay more and gain less.

It is very important that Peter only shows that he is in control of the situation on his own.

Because it is obvious that as the Spider Legion moves more and more in the universe, the status of this group also increases, and neither Schiller nor Nick wants to give up the leadership of this group.

In fact, most Spider-Men are not suitable to be leaders, they can work together and help each other, but leading a huge group across the multiverse is not enough to have kindness and friendship.

It's not that you have to be immoral or evil, it's just that maintaining that goodness in the midst of a complex multiverse environment requires a much stronger ability, in a way, much stronger than these immoral people.

Since ancient times, people will call leaders who have no morals but are strong enough to be heroic, but those who are ethical and kind enough are enough to be canonized, because if you can't do whatever it takes, the difficulty of leading a team will rise to another level.

The current Spider Army is mainly guided by Nick, but Nick knows that he is not in line with Spider-Man, and he is not the kind of leader who can fully inspire the righteous and positive hearts of his members, but most of Spider-Man's power comes from this.

Although Peter loves scientific research, he knows that he has a responsibility to make all Spider-Men better off by making the most of so many Spider-Man's abilities and making all universes better.

To be a leader, you can't ignore people's hearts, and a team with such a wide range of responsibilities will inevitably encounter a variety of challenges to witness biodiversity.

It is not impossible to say that he has been exploring in practice and accumulating experience through making mistakes, but Peter also has his own pride, and he has always played games only on hellish difficulty.

That's why Peter came to Gotham to face Batman, and he was the hardest of all Batman.

Peter wasn't a master either, he chose a difficult object and a more sinister environment, and he planned to set a lower goal, so he spent almost a week exploring Gotham to see if there were any suitable problems to solve.

In the process, Peter found that the spider sense would always sound faintly when he passed through certain locations, which greatly attracted Peter's attention, and he soon discovered the fear gas planted by the scarecrow.

When Peter found out, the scarecrow was almost finished, and thousands of dreaded gas bombs were buried in every corner of the huge city, and Peter had three heads and six arms, and he couldn't dig them up for a while.

Even if Batman is notified and the bat family is asked to dig together, it will only startle the snake and make the scarecrow detonate the bomb in advance, causing a greater disaster.

Since the catastrophe was inevitable, Peter took this as his own topic, and the goal was to keep the situation under his control as much as possible on the night of the disaster, and to do his best to minimize casualties and end the disaster as soon as possible.

It's not impossible to follow in Batman's footsteps, but it doesn't work out his abilities at all, and he's not just a Robin, scurrying around Gotham City to complete tasks is far less than he can do.

But Batman will definitely not listen to his explanation, so Peter can only choose to go it alone, and this is Batman's Gotham, and he will definitely face Batman if he does so.

So Peter's best choice is to take advantage of his information gap, take Batman off guard early, and hurry up to finish the work when he is pulled by various clues laid out in advance.

This time, Peter did his best, in addition to the psychological knowledge he learned from Schiller, the techniques he learned from Stark, the pursuit and fighting skills he learned from Steve, and the manpower and time management skills he learned from Nick, he used all the means such as symbiotes, healing potions, and improved spider suits, and maintained the advantage of information difference, so that Batman ran into Gotham for half a night.

But he knew that this was just the beginning, and after his observation of Batman in the previous weeks, he found that the Dark Knight was unreasonably strong, probably the strongest and most well-rounded human that Peter had ever faced.

Most of Peter's previous acquaintances, including several of his teachers, were good at one or a few things.

But Batman is not, Batman is a real hexagonal warrior, and Peter has been thinking about it for weeks without thinking of any weaknesses that can be exploited.

Peter, who was lying in the bathtub, took a deep breath, went through the whole process of his plan again in his mind, and after making sure that it was okay, he closed his eyes and rested for a while, regained his strength and energy, and then changed his clothes and walked out of the bathroom.

When you arrive at the Battle Hall of the Batcave, there are only two people waiting there, Batman and Nightwing.

"How's the research on the fear poison going?" Batman asked.

Peter made sure that his expression was okay before he said, "The chemical analysis is still inconclusive, but the radiation theory is basically OK, and I will now send the data of the common bands of radiation to your computer." ”

"Once the antenna is rebuilt, the satellite will be able to point you to the location of possible dreaded gas bombs, and our next step is to focus on modifying the antennas and digging them all out."

"Robin is missing, as are Gordon and Barbara." Batman spoke again, he looked at Peter and said, "You were almost kidnapped and hunted down." ”

"But it doesn't matter." Peter shook his head and said, "To be a superhero is to be prepared to shed blood and sacrifice, and we have to continue to work hard for those who are still alive." ”

Batman looked at him in silence, and Peter met his gaze fearlessly, but Batman shook his head and said, "My plan is different from the two of you. ”

Nightwing looked anxious and kept glaring at Peter, Peter frowned slightly, he couldn't understand what Nightwing meant, because he had never dealt with this original Robin before, and there was too little information.

"This combat meeting is for announcing my plans, and you two just have to listen and sit down over there."

The atmosphere was a little stiff, and Peter could clearly see the corners of Nightwing's mouth twitching, and in Nightwing's disapproving gaze, Peter turned and walked to the chair that Batman was pointing at.

Nightwing had no choice but to walk over and sit down, and when he turned to look at Peter next to him, the expression on his face was, "You'll soon find out why I left Gotham." ”

Peter did want to hear about Batman's plan, which he thought would allow him to take targeted precautions.

In the next second, the spider sensed a sharp chirp.

Click, click, click!

Several metal locks protrude from the neck, wrists, and legs, closing in an instant, completely holding Peter and Nightwing in place.

Peter's pupils constricted.

"Whatever my plan is, you two stay here honestly and don't think about leaving until it's settled."
