Chapter 22: Bruce Wayne's Conspiracy

"Come on, come on, make money with money."

"This single hanging Richard will be stable!"

"Edward is the best in the world!"

"Shady, shady! There must be something shady! ”

"There's a dog who is lying to us and pulling that guy out."

In the Gotham Racecourse, the atmosphere gradually rose a little too high, and from time to time there were provocative voices in the crowd, and those who lost were also extremely unconvinced today, so that the scene gradually began to get out of control, and even some who could not afford to lose had begun to become the spark of the riot and wanted to pour into the stadium.

But the initiator had already squeezed out of the crowd and sat on the top floor of the racecourse, looking down on the scene with satisfaction.

"Yes, yes, the anger energy is rising, and the racetrack is a great place. Why didn't you think of getting energy from this group of gambling dogs before? ”

"Meow~" (Human beings are stupid, they knew that there would be a probability of failure, but they refused to accept the reality.) )

"Betting on dogs is like this, it's easy to get on when you can't afford to lose, but thanks to this, I can accumulate enough energy."

Red touched the red 7 promethium katana contained in the fishing tackle bag.

"It seems that I can rush another amplification eight stages when I go back tonight, I have padded so many before, this time I will see that I am in the soul - but I have to take a shower first, and I can't be infected by this group of gambling dogs."

Lingxing, who was lying on Red's lap, glanced at Red, who was also a little bet, with a pitiful gaze, but the next second it seemed to sense something, and suddenly the hair on its whole body stood upside down and looked to the side with bared teeth.

Red also turned his gaze, and when he saw the tall figure in front of him, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

"I thought that the eldest young master of the Wayne family would have a special box even if he watched horse racing."

I saw Bruce Wayne, who appeared in a suit and leather shoes, ignoring Red's hostility at all, just walked to the seat next to Red and sat down.

"Don't you have to go down to stop them, maybe it might turn into a riot later."

"Don't worry, they'll be cleaned up – I'll just take care of the root of the problem."

As if to confirm Bruce's words, tear gas soon filled the racetrack, and GCPD rushed in to take control of the situation before the riot was about to erupt.

"If I'm not mistaken, during this month in Gotham, you seem to be gathering the city's anger, is this the way you use it to boost your strength?"

It seems that his behavior during this period of time has attracted Batman's attention, but what worries Red more than revealing his abilities is Batman's unpredictable attitude.

"You've found out - what are you going to do with me?"

Bruce put his hand in his coat pocket, and Red immediately wrapped his whole body with red light energy, ready to enter the battle at any time, but when Bruce pulled his hand out, he was only holding a card with a phone number written on it.

"It's too inefficient for you to hide and collect anger like this, this is the contact information of the oracle, she will help you design a set of outfits to hide your identity, and guide you how to fight crime. Trust me, whether it's a criminal caught by you or a victim harmed by a criminal, the angry energy provided is sure to satisfy you......"

Red was stunned at first, he didn't take Bruce's card, and his face quickly became gloomy.

"What the hell do you mean, Batman? Why are you so lenient with me, a little villain? ”

"That's the problem, Red. You are smart enough to even know my true identity, so the conspiracy is meaningless to you. That's why I'm using a scheming—"

Bruce stared at Red with burning eyes and said word by word.

"I don't see you as a villain, I want you to be a hero of the future."

——

"Are you serious, Bruce! He's ever killed someone! ”

"Diana also fought in the war, the important thing is how he changes in the future, I can't impose my own principles on others."

"In that case, Jason—"

"He's in a different situation! Barb! ”

Barbara still looked puzzled, and Batman was silent for a moment, then looked down at his fist against Red.

"The yellow ring I was wearing at that time collided with his red ring, and in that moment I could sense his anger, his strength, his rage, his hatred...... There was something hidden deep within his body, a power more dangerous than what we could see right now. ”

Batman took a deep breath and muttered under his breath.

"It's a blood-red bull."

"Cow?"

Barbara repeats in confusion, and Batman nods to make sure she heard correctly.

"It's not a delusion...... I've heard both Kyle and Hal say that there are entities in the universe that are incarnated by spectral emotions - such as the ion shark that once became one with Kyle Renner, and the parallax monster who once manipulated Hal Jordan. ”

Barbara gasped, she was not familiar with the ion shark, but for the deeds of the parallax monster, not only her, but I am afraid that everyone in this world still remembers it vividly.

After Hal Jordan, the greatest Green Lantern at the time and the founder of the Justice League, was taken advantage of by the parallax monster, he defeated all the superheroes by himself, and almost destroyed and reshaped the entire universe.

"If, as you say, Red has such a dangerous power in his body, then he should contact Green Lantern and ask them to help......"

"No, I don't believe in Green Lantern."

Batman almost without hesitation dismissed Barbara's proposal.

"To be precise, I'd like to believe Howl, Kyle, John...... Even the lid is included. But I don't believe in the Green Lantern Corps, who claim to be cosmic enforcers, the last time they took Hal was the root of all the tragedy, and I won't make this mistake again. I'm going to solve the problem of Red Douglas in my own way. Not with violence, but in a more effective and targeted way. ”

"That's what you just said...... Love? But I still don't understand, what exactly are you going to do? ”

"The most important weapon against emotional energy is emotion—I want to use other emotions as chains to control this angry beast. But it turned out that he was not lost in greed, nor was he conquered by fear, and had a strong will...... Then the weapons in our hands are hope, mercy, and love. ”

Barbara seems to be beginning to understand Batman's approach, and let Red be a hero to experience these emotions as a way to suppress his anger and the unknown forces within him.

This is a conspiracy, to persuade Red step by step to let him voluntarily enter this cage that controls his power.

"But how can I make him feel the so-called ...... Love? ”

"I don't know, but if he joins the vigilante business, he may be able to realize these feelings on his own in the process of saving others."

Batman paused as he said this, his gaze a little more complex and soft.

"But will Red, he accept our arrangement?"

"He was willing to stop fighting with me because he had hope for the future; He had made Black Mask donate money before he died, and he didn't kill any innocent people, which shows that he still has mercy in his heart; And the fact that he has been carrying the cat shows that ......"

With that, Batman pressed his hand on Barbara's shoulder.

"I'd like to ask you about this, because we've all had conflicts with Red besides you, and he's probably going to have a grudge against us—and the rest of us may have other special assignments in the future."

Barbara hesitated for a moment, then finally sighed and nodded, but there was still some unease in her eyes.

"If, I mean if we fail...... Red Douglas out of control—"

"I have a final backup plan."

Batman looked up at the sky, his gaze deep and complex.

"But I hope that solution will never be used."
