The days of being a spiritual mentor in Meiman

After Martha left, Bruce looked up at the second-floor window. The moment Batman's eyes met his, Bruce smiled.

Batman closed the curtains, sat back in his recliner and continued to watch his Sherlock Holmes. He was seeing the exciting part of A Study in Scarlet, where Sherlock Holmes was studying the two small pills, one of which was poisonous and the other not. , and the way he tested it was by feeding them to puppies.

Thank you for the lack of animal protection laws in that era, Batman thought idly, otherwise Holmes would have to use people for experiments, because there is no human protection organization so far, but this is an important reason for the progress of human science and technology.

This thought often appears in Batman's mind, and it sounds like a weird hell joke, but Batman knows that this is some noise leaked from his other side that is constantly hitting the cage.

He knows better than anyone else that, as Bruce said, the dividing line between him and those lunatics is not clear enough, or there is no dividing line at all. It cannot even be said that they are two sides of the same body. They are completely the same.

To a certain extent, the deaths of the Waynes saved Batman and completely cut off the possibility of him growing into a free-will psychopath under favorable conditions. The flames of revenge overcame those crazy parts and turned him into a free-spirited psychopath. He completely pushed him to the opposite side of the criminal, allowing him to become a Dark Knight.

In order to take revenge, Batman used his strong willpower to completely suppress the negative body that coexisted with the extremely high intelligence, but that thing was originally Batman, and the blockade was not absolute, so Batman could often hear some noises, Or feel some thoughts and emotions affected by negative bodies, usually some bloody black humor.

After reading for a while, Batman put down the book and took a nap on the recliner before getting up and heading to the laboratory.

In the laboratory of the Batcave, Batman found the Robins' previous research on the shield. It couldn't be said to be research. It was just a preliminary collection of some information, so he began to use this information to study the properties of the shield itself. .

He has one more important clue than the Robins, that is, he knows that this thing is Apokolips technology. When they went to Apokolips before, the Robins brought back a lot of things, but they were always put away by Batman. Not enabled in the repository.

Now if you study that thing, you should be able to find clues to crack the shield. Batman doesn't want to crack the shield, he just needs a way.

After Batman began his research, Robins returned to the Batcave one after another, serving as experimental assistants as usual. Mainly because they were very interested in the large number of Apokolips equipment. Since moving back, Batman has used them It was locked in a warehouse and they didn't even get a chance to touch it.

I want to find Clark in this world. Bruce said to Batman on the communicator: He should have an idea on how to break this shield. I think he has the ability to realize his idea, and I want to find him Let’s talk, maybe talk to Barry.”

The Robins all pricked up their ears to listen, and Bruce continued on the phone: Although I'm not sure what state he is in in this universe, I think as long as he can run, he can definitely bring us into the shield.

I have no objection. Batman shook his head and said, But you'd better carefully evaluate the level of Batman and the Joker in this universe. The Speed ​​Force is not always easy to use.

After saying that, he hung up the communication, and then saw three Robins looking at him with expectant eyes, not expecting that he could take out the pile of Apokolips equipment for them to study - they actually didn't know anything about those things. So interested, after all, no one here except Batman can understand the structure of that pile of things, they are just doing nothing.

But now they obviously have something more interesting, and the solution proposed by the younger Batman is obviously more exciting and adventurous.

Rather than squatting in the laboratory and using their technological capabilities to crack the shield, they wanted to see Superman's Cyclops blow it up directly, or a golden lightning bolt to directly bring them in, and see the confused expressions of the aliens.

You're not allowed to go. Batman shook his head and said, Stay here and help me disassemble the equipment.

Oh! Red Hood wailed first, but this did not change Batman's mind. He closed the door of the Batcave and no one could get out. The other two had to disperse, hoping that they could finish their work quickly. , and then go down and have a look.

They were busy for about half an hour, and Batman received another communication from Bruce.

I found Clark, but the Bruce Wayne of this universe did a terrible job. He didn't recognize me at all, and he didn't intend to cooperate with me. He thought he had a way to break the alien blockade and kill them all. .”

But the good news is that I saw part of the alien's shield spreading into the sea, encircling a large sea area. I think this should be within Arthur's responsibilities, but if I want to go into the sea, I need a Put on a bat suit.”

I'll send it to him. Red Robin suggested first: I remember that your Bat Armor with complete underwater functions is placed upstairs.

Come and get it yourself, Batman said ruthlessly.

Red Robin and Jason looked at each other and made faces, but when Bruce came over, he was actually injured.

In order to see Clark, I have to get close enough to the shield. Bruce shrugged, glanced at the wound on his arm and said, That thing has an automatic defense function and fired a laser cannon in my direction. I Just hide more slowly.

Oh my god, the one lying there is no better than the one lying in the hospital. Red Hood sighed: Of course that thing has an automatic defense function, how can it be just a shield?

There is no need to separate your hospitalization procedures. Batman operated the instrument and said without looking back: I will let Alfred drive you to the hospital.

It's just a minor injury, it's not a big deal. Just bandage it. Besides, I won't go near there anymore. Bruce spread his hands and said, But it would be better if you could have a set of armor with better waterproof function. .”

This is not a good idea. Nightwing dissuaded: No matter how perfect the armor is, it is difficult to avoid the risk of being injured in the water, and no one knows who the Sea King is in this universe. If he attacks you, it will be too dangerous. ”

I will find a way to get him to the shore. Bruce said: Finalize a negotiation location at the port of Metropolis. After such a big thing happened, they must do something to prepare for the formation of the Justice League in the future.

Red Robin opened his mouth. He actually wanted to say that judging from the level of Batman in this universe, it is not necessary to form the Justice League, because the Justice League without a brain is not as good as Superman and Wonder Woman fighting alone.

Then he heard Bruce say: The level of Batman in this universe may be low, but I have also had this time. It was like this when I first debuted. I just need to practice more.

Besides, even if he's not good enough, he won't give up being Batman. It's better to form the Justice League early. He spends money on logistics, and others protect him and Gotham's safety. It's a win-win situation.

Several people thought what he said made sense, but Nightwing was still a little worried and said, Negotiating with Neptune is not that simple. Do you want to go to the meeting alone?

Of course it's impossible for him. Red Hood immediately proposed, We will go with you, and we won't dare to do anything to him.

Red Robin turned to look at Batman. Batman knew that he could only agree now.

Because he knows very well that if he doesn't agree, Bruce will dare to die in front of Arthur on the spot, and then Robin and the Waynes will find out that he has killed another Batman. Who is the one who excludes dissidents now?

Batman raised his eyes and glanced at the three of them. They immediately became nervous and shivered. In the end, he nodded, but the implicit warning in his eyes made the three of them unable to be happy at all.

Bruce left with the three Robins. Batman's expression was still mysterious, showing no joy, anger, or even the slightest bit of depression.

If you want to go to the ground, you must take the Bat Fighter, but the small Bat Fighter can't seat four people. Red Robin said: Let Jason fly the plane, and Dick will help you bandage. I can't help much, so go alone.

There's nothing wrong with this arrangement. All three Robins can fly a plane, but Jason's driving skills are indeed the best, followed by Tim's, and Dick always knows where the medical kit on the bat device is.

The three of them got on the plane first, and Red Robin followed behind in a separate fighter plane. They drove slowly towards the metropolis, but the metropolis was very close to the new city, so the plane was getting closer and closer to the shield.

Be careful. Bruce warned: This thing has a defensive function. Once it detects something approaching from the outside, it will fire a laser cannon. It is very fast and very powerful.

Oh! God!!!

Red Robin's shout came from the communicator, and several people in the other plane immediately became nervous. Red Hood connected the communication and shouted over there: What's wrong? What's wrong?! Tim?!

Unfamiliar electromagnetic signals interfered with the operation of the aircraft! Red Robin's voice came intermittently from the channel, They found... interference... sizzling... out of control... sizzling -!

The voice immediately turned into an extremely high-pitched noise, and the red hood immediately turned the plane around, but it was already too late. He watched helplessly as the plane behind him got closer and closer to the shield.

Bruce's eyes widened and he shouted: Stop it quickly! Once it hits the shield, it will be shot down!

Needless to say, Red Hood also controlled the plane to fall rapidly, hoping to use the collision method to make Red Robin's plane farther away from the shield. Even if it made an emergency landing or crashed, it would be better than being hit by a laser cannon.

But Red Robin's plane was completely out of control, and crashed straight into the shield as if it was being controlled by something. Before it could completely hit it, an extremely dazzling laser hit, and shot through the Bat fighter's machine with a bang. wing.

The plane spun and fell, and at the same time, several people on the plane saw a group of aliens coming towards this direction. They had obviously planned it.

Bruce immediately thought that Darkseid always used kidnapping. If he wanted to threaten Batman, fighting in Gotham City was not the most efficient way. He never wanted to let Robin go.

The plane Bruce was on landed smoothly, and the three people rushed out immediately, but only the wreckage of the Bat fighter was seen where the plane crashed, and the aliens and Red Robin disappeared.

Bruce estimated the distance from here to the shield and said, They won't go back that fast. We have to catch up with them.

But unfortunately, this place happened to be a forest, and the aliens did not leave any traces here. The red hood said decisively: You chase ahead, I will fly a plane up to see if I can find any trace of them. .”

So he turned back, and Bruce and Nightwing chased forward. They saw some traces left by the aliens in front of them, but the traces showed that they were divided into two groups. It was very likely that they took Red Robin back one way, and the other Go all the way to find them elsewhere.

They tracked all the way alone. Bruce guessed that aliens could not pass through the shield at will. They should also have designated doors, so he searched around the shield while keeping a distance from it.

The trace disappeared into the woodland in front of the shield. Bruce continued to walk forward and found that there was a canyon in front of him. The shield spread to the bottom of the canyon, which was most likely the entrance.

Bruce stood on the edge of the canyon and looked down. He was carefully searching for signs of alien presence.

Suddenly a black shadow appeared behind him, and with a bang, he felt that he was completely weightless. An extremely heavy figure hugged him and fell straight down the cliff.

boom! ! !

Bruce fell heavily to the ground, and smoke and frightened birds rose up at the same time.

The cliff was very high, and the man pressed him to the ground. He felt that at least two of his ribs were broken, his arm was also broken, and a strong bloody smell surged up from his throat.

Before he could spit out a breath, a needle pierced his neck. In his blurred vision, Bruce saw a pair of familiar boots.

It's Red Robin.

Sorry, Bruce, but you can't treat Batman like this. I have to save him...Only I can save him...

In the laboratory, fingers covered with black gauntlets pressed the button gently, and a plume of smoke came out of the black box in the crashed Bat fighter, which was completely destroyed.

Yes, madman, sociopath, sadist...but twenty more years alive.
