Batman frowned deeply.

"Sorry, this is one of the giveaways I brought here." Peter shrugged his shoulders, looked at Jason and said, "This is a specialty of my hometown, they are kind parasitic beings, or rather, whether they are good or not is determined by their last host." ”

"I'm sorry, but Jason, you didn't manage to hide from Batman in building a base, you should know you can't hide it from him, right?"

Jason didn't rush up, he cowered in the corner in some horror, glared at Batman and said, "You're going to spy on me from the inside of my brain, huh?!" You...... You ......"

When a parent breaks the lock on the door of a child's room without consent, the child will be angry, but when a parent opens the child's skull and implants a positioning chip, the child is probably only scared.

Jason was a little scared right now.

The so-called three days of Shibetsu, when you look at it, what has Batman experienced in the year that he was away?

"But that's not all." Peter went on to say.

"While it was indeed Batman's plan to let the Poison Gas Plague break out, he had to take extra risks."

"So even if he knew in advance that you were going to cooperate with the scarecrow, it didn't stop you, because as long as you are there, all the actions of the scarecrow will not escape his vision."

"Despicable! Batman! You're using such a spy to do this! You're a superhero shame! The scarecrow gritted his teeth and cursed.

"But Batman also knows that if you push you too hard, you will detonate the poison gas of the whole city, which will still lead to a certain amount of chaos, so after mastering your whereabouts, he did not immediately arrest you."

"Instead, he asked me to pretend to be kidnapped by you...... Oh, it was kidnapped by the Arkham Knight who was with you, and by the way, the process of kidnapping was the symbiote who modified the memory. ”

Peter looked at Jason and said, "If you think about it, you should be able to recall that I stunned you with spider silk, not you." ”

Schiller's Eighth Rule of Fabrication: Facts remain the same, time is out of order.

In fact, it was Peter who put the symbiote in his body after he stunned Arkham Knight, but Peter's expression was like the symbiote was actually in Jason's body early in the morning, and Batman put it in to monitor Jason's actions.

Jason was fooled, he leaned on the corner with his hands on the ground, looked at Batman stiffly, and said in disbelief, "You modified my memory?!" ”

"Because if it weren't, it would be hard to fool a scarecrow." Peter shrugged his shoulders, walked back behind Batman and said, "And this trick is really good, the scarecrow has been fooled." ”

"I ran away halfway, and of course I was instructed by Batman, because it would further discourage the Scarecrow, making him more and more impatient and starting to feel fear."

"Without the hostages in the city, you can still count on the hostages who have been kidnapped, but if you don't have the hostages who have been kidnapped, you must not be caught up by Batman, let alone caught by him, you think so, right?"

Peter stretched out his arms and said, "Look, you are caught by him, and then what?" Batman doesn't kill people, and you should have thought that even if you were put in prison by Batman, you would have a chance to escape instead of dying on the spot. ”

"Even if Batman doesn't kill you, he will definitely keep his hand when he does it, then you have a chance to run away from under his nose again with fear gas, there is no need to panic at all."

"But that's the pressure Batman wants to put on you, as long as you focus on escaping, you don't have time to threaten anyone else."

"And I can also collect the remnants of the bat family in the city under his instructions, and don't give you and other villains a chance to kidnap the people around him, such as Barbara, Gordon, Nightwing, ......"

"They're all on your way to escape, stunned by me with Poison Ivy, and then moved to other safe places in the van, and when you're the only one left in the city and Batman, you no longer have any advantage."

The penguin man shrunk his neck, he knew that Peter was right, that the vast majority of Gotham villains interfered with Batman by kidnapping the people close to him, and this trick was tried and tested.

But at the same time, he thought that if Batman had realized this and had the ability to transfer as early as this time, then why hadn't he done it earlier?

Or is this a trap too? The Penguin Man frowned, making them feel that the hostage kidnapping was the last insurance, so that they would not withdraw from Gotham even when the situation was unfavorable, but would accompany him to play the game to the end, and finally play himself in the batcave.

The penguin man covered his eyes and thought that Batman was more cunning than he thought, and that this trick had made him lose his most basic vigilance, and that he should have withdrawn long before the chaos of the catastrophe that the scarecrow had promised had not appeared.

But the scarecrow still didn't understand, he grabbed the railing, squeezed his head out, as if he was going to get out and bite Batman, looked at Batman and said, "You took advantage of the conflict between me and the penguin man, and attacked us......"

"Then have you ever wondered why you had a conflict with the penguins?" Still hiding behind Batman, Peter just stuck his head out and said, "I can tell you that it was because Batman asked me to pretend to be your student and found the penguin, cut open his chest, and stuffed two Fear Gas capsules into his lungs." ”

The scarecrow's eyes widened and he turned to look at the penguin man next to him, who rolled his eyes and pulled his shirt down hard, and the scarecrow saw the marks of a knife on it.

Stuff the Fear Gas Concentrate Capsule directly into your body?

The scarecrow with professional knowledge immediately thought of the consequences of doing so, and the effect could be 10~20 times that of internal administration.

And not only the speed of the explosion, but also the fear gas inhaled from the outside, no matter how thick, will only affect people's sanity, and if it is serious, it will only make people fall into a state of extreme chaos and start to attack others indiscriminately.

However, the high concentration of fear venom directly participates in the pulmonary circulation, but it can completely burn the human brain within a few tenths of a second, leaving behind either complete idiots or vegetative people who have no ability to move at all, which can be called a new era of frontal lobectomy.

In an instant, the scarecrow's eyes were a little horrified when he looked at Batman.

No, which of us is the villain? Who are the supercriminals? Who is behind the fear of poison gas?!

"Nonsense." Batman commented.

"Ah, here we go again." Peter raised his hands and lowered them again, shook his head with some annoyance, and said, "Yes, the penguin man reads the manuscript on the big screen, and I added that passage myself, but it's better to paralyze the scarecrow, isn't it?" ”

"It's going to make him think you're going to trouble the penguins first, so he'll let his guard down, and he'll want to run to the Stagg Syndicate's airship to capture the betrayal Stagg instead of finding a place to hide, and that's not bad."

Peter walked out from behind Batman again, came to Jason's cage, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make up the news of your death, but then I found you and said it was Batman who told me to say it, don't blame me." ”

Jason looked at him in disbelief.

"It's not hard to understand, if you don't get angry and get emotional and faint, why are you here? You wouldn't expect Batman to get you all over the city, would you? ”

"As far as I know, he's not such an inefficient man, and you know him better than I do, do you?"

Jason's chest began to rise and fall, and the anger that erupted with his breath almost took shape.

But the source of anger has always been fear.

Batman was surprised to find that Jason didn't rush up to him as violently as he used to be.

He got angry and then sat still.

Batman cares about Jason's every unusual move, so he takes a slight step forward.

The three men in the cage took a step back in unison.

Jason had shrunk into the corner of the cage and couldn't hide, he just stiffened his back intact against the wall.

When he raised his eyes to look at Batman, Batman actually saw in his eyes a very straightforward horror that he had never seen before, and that kind of pleading from the desire to survive.

It's like finding a fragile crevice in a stone full of thorns, Batman thinks, is he afraid of me?

But he was actually thinking, is he just starting to be afraid of me now?

Is he just starting to feel fear now?

If so, then where did his unexplained irritability come from?

If not, how long and how deep was his fear? How many times have you been deeply disappointed by your unawareness?

Batman remembered the line written on the wall, "I trusted you so much".

It may not be a portrayal of a moment of anger, but an echo of a long period of disappointment.

"That's all." Peter spoke again: "You two fought, Batman didn't have much effort to subdue you, he himself fainted, and Batman brought him back directly." ”

Then Peter turned to the table behind him and said, "Of course, there's the hardest problem with the clown, but that's not a problem. ”

Peter turned his head and looked at the place where the Joker's hallucinations appeared in Batman's field of vision with his sensitive spider sense, and said, "I can get magical energy to resurrect you, but no one can say for magic." ”

"Maybe in your experiments, you are the one who comes back to life in the body of any clown infected person, but if a new body is resurrected as a clown, and it is resurrected with magic, will the new clown still be you?"

"Maybe we're going to have two clowns." Peter sighed and said, "Although you are inside Batman, I'm afraid you can only watch other jokers play games with Batman." ”

Or ...... You've made Batman not want to play the game. ”

The voice from Professor Schiller that rang in Peter's ears coincided with Peter's voice, and it was obvious that only the Joker who knew Batman best could draw a perfect end to this exam paper.

Peter stared at the clown in the void, repeating Professor Schiller's muffled tone.

"You may have noticed that without you paying attention to Batman, he has changed a lot, and it is a deep, principled change."

"Where does this change come from?"

The question almost immediately attracted the attention of several people present, even Batman himself.

"A father lost his child." Peter hung his shoulders and said in a slightly sad tone, "This is a great misfortune for any emotional creature. ”

"And this tragedy has not been consoled and reversed in time." Peter looked at Jason and said, "Every street, every house, every time I see an empty surveillance screen, it's like a knife of disappointment, carving a scar into his soul." ”

"Over the course of a year, his soul was completely shredded and reassembled, and Batman was still alive, but a whole new him."

"You're the one who made it all happen, Joker, but you're just a mean supporting character in this story, and it's not you who cause disaster in shaping the new Batman, it's his own affection and love."

"It was his strong affection for Jason that made him be shredded by the blade of guilt that he polished, and it was also his hope that Jason was still alive and that made him reinvent himself with his great love."

Batman felt himself strangled by the words.

And then the things in those words wanted to break out of this cold, stiff shell, and he never imagined that one day he would be like this, knowing that he would shed blood and tears, but he would be willing to feel warm.

Batman unconsciously opened the door to the cage in front of Jason, this time only looking at him as an injured child, and picked him up from the ground.

Peter behind Batman looked at the nothingness in front of him, as if he really saw the Joker, and saw his unbelievable crazy expression.

Then Schiller's guidance was no longer needed, and Spider-Man spoke his mind.

"In the midst of this near-hopeless catastrophe, Batman's reimagined self will have a deeper understanding of how such strong family affection and great love occupy an important place in his life."

"The lost Batman will understand what he must not lose, so he will let go of the little things like you, like the two of them, and abandon you and forget you."

"This is the greatest comedy in Batman's life, he is the real star, past, present, future, you may never be able to direct a play that makes him happier than now."

Batman heard the furious yelling of the clown behind him, and he didn't even bother to turn his head.

And when the wetness on Jason's face finally fell on the back of his hand, it was dawn.

The world has regained its proper colors, with only a few fireless ashes and stubborn bones left after the karmic fire has burned out.

There is a father, there is a son, there is no emotional void to fill, and there is no clown who sneers in nothingness.

There is a knight, and there is another knight, and there is no giant windmill that can never be found, and there is no treacherous courtier on the stage of absurdity.

It's dawn.

Yawn and good night
