Chapter 87 Gotham: Sin City

The latest website: Sitting on Thomas Elliott's office chair, Bruce looked at the medical record representing the Riddler, and couldn't accept it for a while. With his knowledge, he can naturally understand what the Riddler's medical record represents. Terminally ill, the kind that has no cure. To be precise, it cannot be cured by conventional medical methods, but it does not mean that there are no other diseases. method, but why did this medical record appear on Thomas Elliott's desk?

"Don't say that, friend, there are many more notorious patients than you." ①

Involuntarily, what Thomas Elliott said to himself when he was in the hospital before flashed in Bruce's mind. Only then did he understand what the words meant. Not only that, while obtaining this medical record, Bruce also saw another document, about the Arkham Asylum. Also in Thomas Elliott's office.

This also means one thing, if someone wants to sneak into the Arkham Asylum and bring someone out, he can use this schedule to know the rotation information of the day and make arrangements. When these two documents were put together, Bruce could basically outline a complete plan in his mind, but he always felt that there was something missing in this plan.

At this moment, the phone I put in my pocket and used to communicate with Alfred rang.

"Alfred, what happened."

"I hope you have enjoyed your time in Dr. Thomas Elliott's office, sir."

"Yes I have."

"Then you may be busy tonight. According to the feedback from the street camera just now, at the sewer entrance of the First Street on Central Avenue, you have detected traces of unknown personnel. There is someone inside. You will be very interested."

"who."

"Bane."

When the name of Bain rang on the other end of the phone, Bruce couldn't help squinting his eyes. He also knew that this must be an action authorized by Silence. Without thinking too much, he remembered the information he found in Thomas Elliott's office. After that, he left through the window.

Ten minutes later, Batman in his combat uniform and cloak also appeared at the sewer drain that Alfred provided just now where Bane's traces of action appeared. Looking at this deep sewer mouth and the constant smashing and looting happening in the dark night of Gotham at this time, it does have the taste of a devil's cave, but Batman, who needs to know the truth, walked in so fearlessly, Start tracking Bane and his party.

while outside,

Ke Wen, who stepped into Thomas Elliott's calculations and was temporarily kicked out, was sitting cross-legged on the building at this time, with his favorite Vita lemon tea on the side, admiring this unique drink that can only be found in Gotham. The spectacle, as the unknown virus created by Thomas Elliott by corroding Ke Wen's virus memory continued to expand, under its artificial control, it became the fuse that intensified the class conflicts in Gotham.

In Gotham right now, rich people dare not appear on the streets at will, for fear that a guy will rush out from the side of the street and shoot himself directly. The citizens of Gotham who have been infected with the virus and have not yet received a statement have also begun to gradually lose their minds. This kind of state where they don't know anything but can feel that their body functions are declining is enough to drive them crazy. Terrible, the terrible process of waiting for death without knowing anything and being unable to do anything.

In this state, people are either unwavering or lose their minds. Since I am having a hard time, you people who do nothing, don't think about it either. The darkness of people's hearts has become more obvious in the city of Gotham, and it has also caused the city of Gotham to fall into such a chaotic cycle. They began to do things that they once thought but did not dare to do, although only a part Humans, and the police as keepers of order, maintain this last line.

But as time goes by, slowly, it will spread throughout the city like a plague. Ke Wen, on the other hand, was sitting on the building, watching everything that happened in Gotham like this, without doing anything.

"Is this another test? The darkness of the human heart, the city of Gotham is really blessed, but it's okay, let's take a gamble, let's see what will be born in the depths of the darkness .”

Drinking the Vita lemon tea in his hand, Ke Wen was also there, speaking to Dr. Manhattan who was watching all this from nowhere.

In the sewer, Batman kept approaching Bain and his party based on Alfred's route and his own tracking experience. At the same time, in the Batcave, Dick did not follow Batman this time because he was attacked by the blast of a heterogeneous monomer. Instead, he and Damian, Raven, and Helena were fighting fires in Gotham City.

The continuous outbreak of conflicts turned Gotham into a city of crime, and they, together with the police, acted as the last line of defense to protect the order of Gotham.

As for the security in the Batcave, in addition to the old butler Alfred, there is also the returned Catwoman and Damian's mother, Thalia, who are responsible for guarding the safety of the Batcave.

"I thought you were staying outside and not coming back. How is it? How is your visit to Nandarbat going?"

The catwoman in uniform was mixing coffee there, and after passing a cup to Thalia who had just rushed back, she also asked there.

"The situation is very bad. The League of Assassins has disappeared, but I also found some things." After taking the coffee from Catwoman, Thalia consciously handed Alfred a cup, and said there.

"There's something wrong with Lazarus Pool, isn't it, Thalia."

Just when Thalia was about to tell Catwoman what happened in the Assassin League stronghold of Nandarbat, Batman's words came through the microphone and said there.

The hand that drank the coffee paused slightly, and Thalia didn't expect her lover to guess the problem so quickly.

"Yes, part of Lazarus Pond has been stolen. According to the information I have received, I am afraid that my father's people are also in Gotham. Bain was once trained in the League of Assassins. Doesn't it really need our help? My love. But, how do you know that there is something wrong with Lazarus Pond."

"No, stay in the bat cave. I don't want any of you to get hurt. I can take care of it. As for why there is a problem with the Lazarus pool, I also deduce it from the information I just obtained. Only by staying in the Batcave can the safety be guaranteed to the greatest extent, I..."

Before Batman could finish speaking, he immediately cut off contact. This sudden situation also alerted Catwoman and Thalia. And Alfred, who was in charge of maintaining the communication, also understood the problem. "Something blocked the communication. It seems that Master Wayne is already approaching where Bain and the others are. That should be the base camp."

"Wait, Alfred, please narrow down Bruce's route. I always feel that this route is a bit strange."

Because of Batman's sudden loss of contact, Catwoman also said to Alfred after noticing that Batman's traveling route was a bit weird at this time. The old butler didn't say anything, and after scaling down the position of Batman at this time, he also noticed the problem. Because the route that Batman is traveling at this time is in the underground waterway network of the Wayne Enterprises Building, which also means that Bain's so-called base camp is just below the Wayne Enterprises Building.

After seeing this structure diagram, both Catwoman and Thalia also understood the seriousness of the matter.

"No, Thalia, we have to help Bruce, Alfred, contact Diana, let her come back quickly, we... bang!"

The rescue operation was determined immediately, and Catwoman and Thalia, who were going to rescue their lover, had not had time to take the transportation in the Batcave. A shocking explosion happened inside the Batcave. The explosion at the exit of the Batcave directly sent them flying, and they lost consciousness in the explosion and dust.

On the other side, Batman, who was constantly approaching Bane's base camp in the underground waterway, also noticed that he had entered a certain signal shielded area, when he did not hear the response from the Batcave. But at this time, he couldn't choose to retreat. He was already so close to Bane's base camp. He had no reason to give up halfway. Relying on his confidence in his skills, Batman continued to move forward.

Soon, he entered another world from a dim underground waterway. There were lights hanging on the walls everywhere, turning this dim underground world into daylight. At the same time, the vigilance level of one post at five steps and one sentry at ten steps also let Batman understand that he has indeed entered the base camp of Bane and his party, whether it is silence or the clown, they will be here.

Then, the answer is very simple, what he has to do is to sneak in and get everything he wants to know!

With the familiarity of the terrain of this underground waterway network, even with searchlights that turn the dark environment into daylight, Batman can always find a blind spot and easily avoid patrols. Moreover, he also demonstrated his ability as a high-achieving student who graduated early from the Assassin League, a professional killer school. Every time he appeared in front of these guards, he was silent. With a wave of the black cloak, a person disappeared on the patrol route .

And the companions in front of him, or behind him, just didn't notice the abnormality of his teammates, and the number of patrols decreased one by one. By the time they noticed something was wrong, there was no room for them to fight back. Batman who suddenly appeared, just before they even sounded warnings and drew their guns to attack, Batman had already used his superb fighting skills to kill these people. The mercenaries were brought down.

Without making a sound, I just easily knocked down the peripheral patrol personnel to the ground, and easily completed the achievement of knocking down all the people who could see me.

Before Batman was ready to move forward, the sound of the gate falling sounded in this underground world. Several gates fell, blocking Batman's forward and backward routes, and the searchlights all shot at an angle. Let Batman have nowhere to hide in the dark, and this underground world has also become an alternative Colosseum under such an environment.

In such a colosseum, Bane's tall figure also came out from opposite Batman.

"Exquisite fighting skills, perfect stealth, good at fighting in the dark environment, your fighting style is like art, every time I see it, I have to give you a thumbs up, Batman is indeed the most valued by the ninja master people."

"Bane!"

When he saw Bane appearing in front of him, Batman also understood that he was still careless after all, and he still stepped into Bane's trap. This mercenary who had fought against him several times and was able to retreat unscathed every time seemed to be not as simple as he imagined.

"Exactly, I know the purpose of your coming, and I know what you are thinking now, but if you run away, I can guarantee that the truth you want to know will never be found."

"The truth about what."

"Why did Thomas Elliot die, and what was the trial from the past."

With these two words, Batman also suppressed all the thoughts in his heart, because Bane grasped his point, and his purpose of coming here was to find out the truth, and the truth was right in front of him at this moment, one step away.

"Very good, then, for the sake of fairness, come on, use the moves we learned from the Assassin League to recruit who is the real assassin."

Seeing that Batman was not prepared to retreat, Bane also showed his sincerity, and the sound of the machine behind him sounded. Originally fixed on his own spine, the auxiliary spine used to inject the poisonous potion just fell off Bane's back. Like a black iron centipede, when it fell off, it also took away part of Bain's flesh and blood. Even Bain couldn't get over this pain without saying a word.

After letting out a beast-like roar, Bane casually put the auxiliary spine aside, and at the same time, opened his hands towards Batman.

"Now, I'm just me, Batman."

After Bane gave up his most powerful advantage, Batman no longer had any scruples, and under the watchful eyes of Bane's men, he also rushed towards Bane. As Bane said, he applied all the skills he learned from the League of Assassins to Bane, but Bane, as a notorious mercenary, also studied in the League of Assassins. The ninja master kicked out.

But one thing that can't be hindered is that he is also a genius, especially now, without such side effects as poisonous potion, he is even more dangerous.

The same temptation, the same block, the same killing move, the battle between Batman and Bane is like facing a mirror. Both of them are the most exquisite fighting masters. Any slight movement can become a weakness for each other to seize, or it may be a trap used to lure the other to make moves. This time, Batman finally felt Bane's strength. The degree of difficulty is different from that of Baine, who was injected with poisonous potion and dealt with himself by improving his strength and speed.

Every move he made, every style, Batman had to deal with it with his heart.

After another even-handed attack, Bane maintained his attacking style and joked to Batman, who was regarded as a brother of the same school.

"They're all taught by the same master. You can't break the trick, Batman. It seems that it's a bit difficult for you to learn something from me."

Batman was speechless, but rushed up again, kicking and gliding with his most classic cape. But such an obvious move is easy for Bane to block. While catching Batman's move, Bane also hit the flaw that was vacated by Batman's move. The casserole-sized iron fist Just like that, it was printed on Batman's ribs, and a mouthful of dark red blood spit out from Batman's mouth, directly covering Bane's eyes.

He instantly lost his vision, deforming the movements of Bane's hands. At the same time, Batman also seized the opportunity of this off-board move and started to attack Bane. One punch, two punches, each blow is enough to kill an adult. The man's down attack hit Bane, only to make him retreat, but he couldn't make him fall. When Batman's combined punches were about to hit, Bane, who had been retreating, suddenly stopped. With a quick pace, he turned around and slammed, and his fist hit Batman's head.

The heavy blow to the head directly interrupted Batman's attack, his footsteps began to stagger, and he kept retreating, his vision began to blur, and Bane also appeared double in front of him.

Wiping away the blood from his eyes casually, Baine walked forward without haste.

"Interesting off-the-box trick, using blinding, is that a little trick you use all the time, Batman? You're in a hurry. Losing a friend makes you so impatient? You're so sure Thomas Elliott is a good guy ? Presumably, you also found a lot of little secrets in his office, huh?"

"ah!"

Bane's rhetorical question made Batman roar, he naturally understood what Bane was talking about, he was telling himself. My best friend who grew up with me may not be a kind person as I imagined. Kindness is just a mask he uses to confuse and disguise himself. But the emergence of this kind of thinking made Batman feel that his friend was insulted, or that he was insulted, and he would feel sad for such a person.

The roar cheered Batman up and attacked Bain, but such a disturbed attack was full of flaws for Bain. Easily catch Batman's attack, the fist in the hand also hits a part of Batman's body, fast, accurate, ruthless, the force of each blow is increasing, and the attack of a continuous attack on a part, even if the bat It's useless for the knight to wear armor. Under Bain's attack, he vomited blood and fell to the ground.

Falling to the ground, Batman, who distanced himself from Bain, also threw out his batarang. The smoked batarang circled around Bain, but was knocked down one by one by Bain.

"With this little trick?" While knocking down the Batarang, Bane stepped forward, grabbed Batman's hand, and slammed into the side railing, breaking the arm blade of the hand armor. At the same time, Batman also seized this opportunity and flipped the switch of the universal belt around his waist. The searchlight that originally illuminated the Colosseum into daylight lost its light, and the entire underground world turned into darkness again. Batman also took the opportunity to break free, adjusted his breathing, and hid in the darkness.

"Darkness, interesting, I think when you were in the League of Assassins, Master Ninja told you that you had to learn to use darkness. But sorry, I was born in darkness!"

Following Bane's words, Batman, who was planning to attack Bane from the side, was restrained by him again, and the originally dark environment turned into daylight again, and Batman also lost all opportunities to fight back. The fist hit Batman's abdomen, and just one punch almost made Batman unable to breathe. With this advantage, Bane lifted Batman above his head so that he could not break free from his hands.

"You lost, Batman, and as the end of this battle of beasts, let me tell you the so-called truth for free. The so-called past trials are your family history, and it's not what you think it is. Bright, including your parents, and Thomas Elliott, he's just an overly curious guy, just in the way, we just kill, look at the top of your head, it will break your body and mind first step."

Batman, who was still conscious, looked at the top, and the explosives that had already been installed exploded at this moment, blowing away the clod above his head, revealing lights and various equipment. This is Wayne Enterprises' military technology department, but now, it's no longer.

"Thank you for everything Wayne Enterprises provided. The people of Gotham City will use these to destroy their own city and themselves, but not before that."

Feeling the sudden increase in strength in the spine, Batman seemed to be able to perceive what kind of ending he was about to face, but he couldn't break free, and could only allow Bane to smash himself, which had been raised above his head, towards his knees.

There was a crisp bone breaking sound, and Batman also felt that his lower limbs lost control, and he just fell to the ground. Throwing Batman aside at will, Bane looked at the lost Batman, and the blood in his heart couldn't help but speed up. He did it, and he overcame the fear in his heart. Since he reproduced Batman's armor in Kewen, After being humiliated at the hands of the guy who called himself Arkham Knight.

There is also a shadow in Bane's heart. This is the terrible thing about the fear gas. Healing the fear effect on the nerves does not mean that the fear left in the mind can be eliminated. And just now, he successfully defeated Batman and eliminated the fear rooted in his heart. This kind of joy made him roar in this underground world.

Repeated blows made Batman gradually lose consciousness, and Bane just squatted in front of him, saying these words.

"Don't be nervous, we won't let you die so quickly. Your body and mind haven't been truly defeated yet. You can still look up and look ahead. There are surprises waiting for you."

Following Bane's words and looking up, Batman also saw this scene, silence, the clown just walked over from the aisle, and on them, his two lovers, Catwoman Selena Kyle, Talia It was carried on their shoulders by them, and the one who walked towards him was the alien single Gale that killed his friend Thomas Elliott.

What he was most afraid of happened. He kept deliberately staying away from those who cared about him, just to protect them. But when he learned to accept and wanted to maintain this beauty, he was ruthlessly destroyed by the curse engraved in his own destiny. Everything was developing in the direction he least wanted to see.

"Sleep well, Bat Boy, when you wake up, let's have a good chat, haha, hahaha!"

Gently placed the unconscious Catwoman and Thalia next to Batman. With maniacal laughter, the Joker also stepped on Batman's face, causing him to lose consciousness completely.
