"Bane! Friends! ”

Chen Tao affectionately hugged the other party's shoulder: "It's been a long time." ”

Bane was expressionless and didn't even say a word.

The surrounding warrior monks, the half-transformed witch Radama and the dead people also followed along to watch Chen Tao strongly.

“……”

"Have you seen enough?"

"Come with me, Batman." Bane spoke. His wrinkled face was unwavering.

He turned around as a very American kung fu movie "master" character, and Chen Tao followed him with a strange face.

The warrior monks behind him bowed with the two third-tier villains, and sent them away with their hands folded, which felt really outrageous.

Bain led Chen Tao through a very quaint stone path and wooden staircase, and finally reached a room.

Bane pulled open the screen, lowered his head more than two meters high, and walked into the room first.

There was nothing in this room except a desk, two futons, and a few sticks of incense.

Oh, and a pot of tea.

Chen Tao and Bane sat opposite each other on the futon, and Bane deftly poured Chen Tao a cup of tea with his big hands like a fan and fingers like turnips.

This damn tea bowl is so small that it is not as big as Chen Tao's palm, so Chen Tao grabbed it and drank it all.

Bane, who is like a brown bear, is still performing a tea ceremony like a young girl, and Chen Tao can't bear it anymore.

"I need your help." He said bluntly, "You've got to help me get from the Wall of Origin—"

"Always in such a hurry, Batman."

Then he heard Bane's somewhat hoarse voice, "He's in a hurry to save the world again, huh?" You never stop. I thought that when we met again, you would care about what I had done first, instead of thinking about yourself all day. ”

Without waiting for Chen Tao to speak, Bain continued to say to himself:

"I've traveled the world looking for my biological father to no avail, and I've come to realize how ridiculous my attachment to you is. Whether it's destroying you or helping you, it doesn't mean anything to me, it shouldn't be the direction of my life. ”

"So please come back, Batman. I won't help you anymore, I've been living in seclusion here for a long time, I've been cultivating myself, and I've completely let go of all my attachments to you. I'll never be obsessed with you again. ”

Bane said, "You know what? Today, when I found out about your visit, I even felt a little anticipation. I look forward to severing all ties with you once and for all. ”

"Uh, Bane......"

"Listen to me first!"

Bane waved his hand:

"Now you're a stranger to me. If you want to have a cup of tea with me now, then I can still do it, but for no reason you dragged me to save the world? Then don't think about it, I'm just a hermit living in the Himalayas. ”

"The world and justice need your help." Chen Tao said.

"It's you who need my help." Bane corrected, "If it was in the past, I would probably be persuaded by you and then help you without hesitation." But now there is no such good thing. ”

He said bitterly:

"I used to try to chase you, conquer you, and then suffer every day and night after defeat. You don't understand the pain at all. ”

"Then I thought I let myself go, I thought I was relieved, I thought I was helping you because I wanted to seek those legal statuses that the government had given me. I deceived others like that, and I deceived myself like that, and I lied to myself to believe it. But that's all. ”

"Bane, listen to me first......"

"You're going to have to listen to me, Batman!"

Bane was slightly agitated, his eyes empty, completely lost in the memories of the past.

His childhood, that time of being trapped in prison. Bane was firm in his ideals and realized his destiny in that era, and he forged that boy into the person he is today.

"I had that dream. As a young man, I dreamed of my future self, and I told myself that I would be the perfect combination of spirit and body, a living example of human superiority to the extreme. I have told myself that I have the blood of a king in my veins, and that it belongs to my father. The world is mine, and one day it will be ruled by me. ”

"I told myself that when the time comes, all human beings will be bent like cattle and weak like sheep before me."

"I told me that there are not many people who can stand above ten thousand people, and I am one of those ten thousand, and I have only one threat left on my way to world domination."

Bane stared at Chen Tao tightly.

"Fear."

"The fear hidden in my heart, only fear will prevent me from getting what belongs to me, as long as I conquer the fear in my heart, then I will have everything I deserve, I will be invincible, and become the overlord of all things!"

"And you, Batman, you. For so many years, I have seen you as the embodiment of my inner fear. ”

"Even after giving up on going against you, I'm still instinctively chasing your footsteps."

"This meaningless obsession with you, like an addiction to reading, has tied me up like a comet revolving around you, and in order to overcome my fear, I have become a slave to it."

"But now, the offense and defense have changed shape, and the situation is different."

Bane trembled and made a life declaration: "I have overcome my fears, I am no longer obsessed with you." I, you. We don't have anything to do with each other. There is no connection anymore. My life and meaning no longer revolve around you. ”

"So whatever you ask for or plead," he said. I'm not going to help you anymore. Because I don't have a reason anymore. ”

"Bane, I said, the world is going to ......"

Bane's expression slowly faded, and he poured himself another cup of tea. Although the ceiling of the room had not changed at this time, Chen Tao inexplicably felt that the whole space was a lot wider.

Bane's voice rang in his ear:

"I'm a villain, not a superhero. How the world is something you should figure out how to solve. Bane picked up the tea, then took a sip, and directly held it up to give the tea to the guests.

"You can't get any help from me, Batman. I don't have any position to help you. ”

"You and I are brothers."

"So Batman, you'd better know ...... What the are you talking about? ”

Bane, who wanted to continue, was directly stuck.

He couldn't pretend to be a senior master anymore, and his eyes widened: "You say it again?" ”

"I said, you and I are brothers."

"My father, Thomas Wayne, was close to your mother many years ago. ”

Bane heard Batman say this as he pulled out a picture from his universal belt and showed it to him.

Bane immediately splashed tea on the photo to test whether it was a muddy face.

No problem.

It's really a real photo of his mother standing shoulder to shoulder with Thomas Wayne.

Chen Tao looked at Bane's incredulous face.

The picture is true, and Bane's mother is close to Batman's father, Thomas Wayne, and it's completely true.

These are facts through and through.

In the original comics, such a plot was indeed mentioned, and in the original history, of course, it was not Chen Tao who found this photo, but Bane who found it.

This photo successfully misled Bane into believing that his father was Thomas Wayne, and he even took the photo to Gotham to find Batman to confess to him.

Of course, according to the usual urine nature of the comics, the final conclusion of this confession is that Bane is not Thomas Wayne's son, but this matter is still genuine.

Chen Tao had prepared this photo a long time ago, and his original plan was to take out this photo if something went wrong when he was fighting Bane one day, so that the other party could stop attacking.

But for a variety of reasons, this hole card never saw the light of day.

And this time when he came to Bane, Chen Tao deliberately brought this card, and sure enough, it was used.
