Chapter 79: Commitments
βοΌβ
Tim fell into a stupor.
Who am I?
Where am I?
Is this really a bat cave?
Tim fell into deep thought.
A violent brainstorming storm swept through his mind, and the mystery of the Big Bang repeated itself in his 1.4-kilogram human brain in a matter of seconds, and Tim felt a puff of steam pop out of his head.
Chen Tao pulled him aside with some embarrassment.
"It's a necessary approach, like an irresistible social."
He explains:
"Barso Caro (Clay Man's real name) is a performative personality through and through. I don't know if you fully understand his natureβ"
"I know very well, Batman. I totally understand the decision you've made, I don't care. Tim took two deep breaths and barely came to his senses, "Remember the first time we faced him?" β
He pretended that he would be restrained by the current, and then performed a lifelike death. Before that, he disguised himself as a variety of people in Gotham City......"
Chen Tao said: "That's right, another kind of madness that can't be deduced by common sense. Basso Caro doesn't have any purpose, his only purpose is to play the role. And the transformation ability that his superpowers bring to him is just what makes him the best actor in the world. β
He continued to whisper, "Under that shell, his life is empty. After that accident, Basso Caro disappeared completely, leaving only a shell driven by a broken self in pursuit of pure performance. β
"Upper-class gentlemen, roadside sweepers, women, men, kids eating lollipops, school teachers, doctors, whatever the role, as long as it makes Basso Caro feel challenging, he will start playing these people for some time to come......"
"He would beat up the original owner, and then throw it in a mess away from Gotham, and then replace the other party himself until the main owner returned."
Chen Tao said: "He is chasing an acting career, so I will simply give him a script that is challenging enough." β
Tim looked at the other man, a small performance booklet glued to his huge palm, and Tim glanced down and saw that it read:
From Arkham to the Batcave: How to Be Batman's Favorite Robin
The following subheadings are:
Barso Caro's Youth Full Strength Robin's Diary, A Righteous Life Doesn't Need to Be Explained!
On the back it reads:
How did Batman's favorite Robin come to be?
What are the super codes to follow to become Robin?
How do you gain Batman's favor and see you as his only one?
The answer is all in this book, everyone can be Robin, just need to read this grand book!
ββ¦β¦β
Tim felt that he should be angry, and he should have been angry for every reason.
But strangely, the anger seemed to be suppressed by something else, so it didn't come to mind at all.
His eyes snapped over the book.
This book was written by Batman.
I don't really want to know what is written on it!!
"You wrote this book before?"
"Yes, that's right." Chen Tao replied to him that he was still indulging in his plan to manipulate the clayface through various indiscriminate means:
"I've written it before, and I've thought about how I'm going to manipulate the Clayface when I'm dealing with ventriloquists...... For these neuropathies with brain problems, although the essence of the core operation ideas is different, but the same line. β
He added:
"This book is written specifically about Basso Carlo's weaknesses, and everything in it is a ...... Robin would do"
Tim wasn't in the mood to listen to Batman continue.
"You'll have to show me this pamphlet later." He said righteously:
"I have to be deeply critical."
Chen Tao didn't understand what the other party was thinking, so he nodded and said, "Okay." I'll open it up for you on the bat computer later. β
"I want it too! I want it too! Harley Quinn raised her hand excitedly: "Give me the whole one too!" β
She put on a posture of boxing, and said twice: "The first female Robin in history, Harley Quinn's Robin career diary, stay tuned, serialized!" β
There was silence.
Best friend Poison Ivy tugged at the corner of Harley Quinn's clothes as Tim looked at him murderously.
"Why are you pulling me? I'm going to- woo woo woo! β
Before Harley Quinn could finish her words, she was gagged by the Poison Ivy Woman manipulating a large number of plants. She smiled apologetically at Tim and made a gesture for you to continue.
Chen Tao didn't care about the small movements between the few of them, he gave a few brief commands to the bat computer, and then dozens of hidden lifting transparent glass cages rose from the ground of the bat cave hall.
He beckoned the killer crocodile, the ventriloquist, and Harley to stuff all the chip-controlled villains into it one by one.
While a few people were working, he made a video call to Alfred:
"Batman calls Penny One. How long will it take for the Talon Assassins to ship back? β
"There's still an hour and a half or so."
Alfred, who was painting face to face, pulled the joystick, and the mechanical arm of the bat plane seemed to be clamping a doll in front of the crane machine, clamping a large number of twitching hapless claws with missing arms and legs: "There are too many of them, I have to clip them for a while." β
The old butler sighed: "I can't believe I'll have to put them all together later!" I haven't played with a puzzle for over 60 years since I tossed it aside when I was 4 years old. And now I'm putting together hundreds of mutilated limbs at once. β
ββ¦β¦ Great work. β
Chen Tao said.
"It's not hard, this is what I should do, sir." Alfred shook his head, then said, "They can help you, right?" These claws can be your strength against Bane, even if it's just a little bit of his stamina. β
He said, "They can make you have no more wounds, right?" β
"Yes." Chen Tao replied to him: "The claws are indeed a fighting power that cannot be ignored, and they are very useful. β
"Then what I'm doing makes sense." Alfred said, "About that four days later...... Promise me that you must come back safely, okay? β
Chen Tao was slightly silent for a while.
Alfred wasn't the kind of person who would always emphasize it to others after he gave it, but today he was unusual, and he knew what the other person was thinking-
The old butler just wanted to catch his poor little Bruce with his own efforts.
The old man was just stubborn about getting a promise, a promise of a safe return...... Whether or not that promise can be kept, it's not something he can decide.
He just wanted that promise.
"I will." Chen Tao assured him: "We said that we were going to seclusion, remember?" I promised you. We go to Fiji, or the Hawaiian Islands, or the Metropolis...... A place where no one knows us, after the Gotham affair is over. β
"I will definitely retire with you." Batman promised, "I'll come back safely." β
"I have a lot of Arkham Asylum villains right now, and they'll go before I do."
Chen Tao said: "With them consuming Bane's physical strength, I won't lose." β
Alfred lowered his head slightly, so that the expression on his face could not be seen clearly, and then the next moment, it transformed into a smile as clear as the clear sky.
"Okay."
"We said okay, Bruce...... Be sure to keep your promises! β
"Okay."
They hung up the communication.
Chen Tao took a deep breath, stood up, and walked into one of the transparent cages.
He snapped his fingers, and the prisoner in the cage was immediately released from the chip's grip.
"Harvey Dent, Two-Face, Old Friend." Chen Tao said, "I need your help. β
"Don't think about it, even if my two-faced man is bored to death, jumping from here in Dead Arkham won't help Batman at all!"
Chen Tao narrowed his eyes.
"It's not up to you. ......"
