Chapter 92 Rise! !
Latest URL: Gotham in anarchy, day three. From the very beginning of the national carnival, after the excitement of turning over to become the master, Gotham has also become depressed. During the day in Gotham, there is almost no one on the street. A cool breeze blows, and the blown newspapers The streets are drifting with the wind, and with the trains passing by the Gotham city traffic tracks from time to time, it has the color of a doomsday city.
Occasionally there are a few pedestrians who go to the street, and they also scan the surroundings with a kind of vigilance. They don't know what kind of murder weapon is hidden in the tightly wrapped clothes, and they are ready to fire at someone who they think will hurt them at any time. . This is Gotham now, and at the beginning, everyone is happy because they can finally vent their anger over the years.
Those who always don't look at themselves, those who always oppress themselves in work and life, have a reason to take revenge. Bane provides them with an excuse to take revenge, making them fearless. But Gotham is so big, no matter how crazy these Gotham citizens are, they can only be crazy in Gotham. When they divided up the so-called uptown property, things went back to the original point.
Now is the 21st century, not the era when one city supports one city's people. After the property redistribution in the upper city is completed, the citizens of Gotham City have to face a new problem, how to maintain their lives. Many short-sighted people have not noticed this, but there is no lack of smart people who have noticed this situation. Gotham is now blocked by poison ivy women with murderous vines.
Those Gotham bosses also guard several entrances and exits of Gotham. With their abilities, they can naturally contact the outside world and obtain enough living resources for their forces to operate. But for most Gotham citizens, a Gotham City that is isolated from the world and a Gotham City that loses productivity also means that those who live at the bottom have lost their source of livelihood.
Everything they robbed from the upper city was only temporarily preserved in their hands. As time went by, everything they robbed from the upper city just changed the way and changed the owner. What Bain drew for them was just a big pie, a big pie that couldn't be eaten or touched. They were still the group of exploited people, the people at the top ate the meat, the people in the middle ate them, and they , can only be exploited by it.
It's just that compared to before, the police, who could have been the last line of defense to maintain order, will no longer appear on the streets of Gotham. They are defined by Bain as the minions of the so-called powerful, and are defined as people who are in the same boat. These policemen, who were supposed to be the last maintainers of order in Gotham, are now huddled at home, protecting their families with guns in their hands, ignoring those things, and only waiting for the government to provide rescue.
Slowly, the citizens of Gotham understood that from the very beginning, when they responded to Bain's request and did things that they had never dared to do before, turning Gotham into an anarchic city, they buried themselves the source of death. The current Gotham has become the city of Bane and his accomplices, the situation has not changed, they are still the same class that was exploited.
The only thing that has changed is that there is only darkness left in this city. The dark knight is gone, and the police will not show up. They are destined to be people who cannot be redeemed. If this is the case, then there is nothing to be afraid of, let's die together!
I don't know why, when this idea, when this idea arose among the citizens of Gotham, it began to spread like a plague. With the spread of this idea, Gotham, which was originally silent because of the anarchy, also began to become crazy on the third day. During the day, people rested and recuperated, and at night, they began to carry out all kinds of non-crazy destruction.
The target is no longer those families who are defined as powerful and rich, but the entire Gotham, and all people living in this city have become targets for each other. Today you kill me, tomorrow I kill you, there is no foreshadowing, just draw your gun and shoot, no matter the other party was your friend or neighbor, they are all objects to beware of. In this state of Gotham, burning fires everywhere The fire broke out, the gunshots rang out continuously, and the flames continued to light up, reflecting the city into a real hell.
Thomas Elliott, on the other hand, took a group of his men and looked at Gotham from the top floor, seeing what the city looked like at this time, and couldn't help laughing. This is the scene he wants to see, this is the Gotham he wants.
"See, this is the beginning. You said that when Batman saw that the city was going to destruction by itself, and he couldn't do anything, would his heart still be as firm as before. Everything he insisted on , what he believed in has betrayed him, so is there any need for him to persist in his belief? Look, the end of Batman is coming."
Regarding Thomas Elliott's remarks at this time, De Sadd could only remain silent, because he could not refute everything Thomas Elliott said at this moment. At the same time, he was also curious why the Kamen Rider who was targeted by the Steppenwolf hadn't made a move until now, and did nothing after being kicked out after just such a calculation? Sleepless is too fragile.
Dick and the others were also puzzled about this. Since Gotham fell into anarchy, he and Deathstroke led a group of children to fight fires in Gotham. They are saved, and the fire is going to be extinguished, but looking at the citizens of Gotham who are going to self-destruction like crazy people at this time, they don't know what to do, what can they do, they can easily prevent an armed conflict from happening, they have this ability.
But they can't stop a person who wants to commit suicide from taking his own life. When these Gotham citizens can't see any hope of living, they only need to pull the trigger lightly, and a bullet can take away their fragile lives , no matter how powerful they are, they can't stop a person's determination to die.
As soon as his feverish gaze flashed across, the gun of a citizen who was planning to commit suicide behind him melted away. Little Jonathan rushed to this guy and pushed him aside. Because he just saw this guy trying to burn his wife and daughter to death, and then swallowed himself with a gun.
"Hey! Do you know what you're doing! Bastard!" Little Jonathan couldn't help roaring at this guy's actions. He couldn't imagine that someone would bring his wife and daughter together to say that he would die. Angry, his eyes closed Concentrated hot eyes looked at the family of three, trying to get an answer from their mouths.
"I know what I'm doing! But there's no other way. Look at these people, they're crazy!" The father who was prevented from committing suicide by Jonathan Jr. faced Jonathan Jr.'s questioning, and went straight there Asked rhetorically: "This city is hopeless, so what can you do if you can save it for a while, you can't give us food, life security, saving us, it's just a slow death, can't you carry the building Well, go and deal with those guys, go!
Where is your strongest man in the world? Where is he? Isn’t he a god on earth? Why can’t he hear or see what happened in Gotham! Even Superman has abandoned us, so what's the point of us trying to live, don't tell me you are still counting on Batman at this time, he is just a mortal! And the living here are all demons! "
The crazy father questioned little Jonathan just like that, throwing him the most important question now, and beside him, the rescued citizens also looked at little Jonathan. They are not fools. The rescue during this period of time, just the fighting power shown by little Jonathan, also connected them with Superman in Metropolis, but what was the use? Even Superman did not appear in Gotham. What can a child do.
The fiery gaze in little Jonathan's eyes slowly disappeared. Looking at the father who had almost given up on himself at this moment, little Jonathan didn't know how to answer him. He looked at his hands and began to have doubts about his own strength. Yes, he inherited his father's Kryptonian genes, and he also has human blood. He is the second Kryptonian born from normal mating after Superman. the son of.
He should have the power to save the world, but now, why does he reject this power so much, he doesn't even have the courage to look for Bane, to settle the accounts of these guys who messed up Gotham, just here, doing it again and again , and rescue operations without results.
At this time, as the leader of the rescue team, Dick also came over. Looking at this desperate father, without saying a word, he just raised his fist and directly stamped on this guy's face, knocking him down to the ground. This abrupt move also made everyone stunned, but Dick just stood there, looking at the father who was blinded by his punch, and said indifferently.
"Don't blame everything on Batman, or Superman, yes, maybe you are right, Gotham is hell now. We are just dying people in this hell, doing a hopeless but that doesn't mean you should give up on yourself and your family's life, if you do, that's what they want to see, why Batman keeps saving the city, because he has been Believe that this city is worth saving.
He has sacrificed enough, why, you have to give everything to Batman, to Superman! If you even give up on yourself, so what if Batman or Superman comes to save you, next time, we will lose, we will become hell, and maybe it will be worse. "
"But you tell me what we should do, you teach me. I don't want my wife and daughter to suffer like this, but this is what it is now, there will be no food, and the quality of life cannot be guaranteed. Sooner or later we will become them Same, you are superheroes, you can leave at any time, but what about us, we live here!"
Facing Dick's accusation, the father just knelt there, begging Dick, hoping to get an answer. It's just that for the father's kneeling, Dick stepped aside and didn't accept his kneeling.
"I can't give you an answer now, the answer can only be found by yourself, either choose to fight back, fight back against these guys who have taken our lives, or just wait for rescue, and tell your wife and daughter that everything will be fine of."
"Everything is not going to be okay." The father also refuted Dick's comfort.
"Then fight for it yourself! I don't know what that Faiz is going to do, but I will do my best to save this city!"
The sonorous and powerful voice made these Gotham citizens rescued by Dick look up and look at the superhero named Nightwing. They don't know why this superhero still firmly believes in hope and that Gotham will be saved, but sometimes, when a person full of hope stands there, people will unconsciously raise hope from their hearts, thus uniting into a ball.
In the distance, Ke Wen watched all this silently, and at the same time showed a knowing smile, as expected of his partner. Even though he lost his memory, he has a thorough understanding of chivalry.
"Oh, you've said all the words, so I don't need to appear on the stage. It's time to start my operation."
With a word of emotion, Ke Wen turned around and was about to leave, but saw an unexpected guest behind him, the clown!
Wearing a purple suit and smiling with red lips under pale makeup, she just leaned against the wall and looked at herself.
"Clown?! Why, are you planning to attack me? Now I can't become W. You can't kill me, and I can't kill you either."
"No one can kill me except Batboy, but then again, do you know where Batboy is?"
Regarding Ke Wen's question, the clown just spread his hands there, and asked back, he didn't have a trace of nervousness, but Ke Wen couldn't adapt. After all, in film and television animation works, the clown is a guy who uses madness to cover up rationality. Now there is no madness, only rational clowns are left. For some reason, Ke Wen feels more dangerous. Especially when he asked himself if he knew the whereabouts of Batman, it made Ke Wen even more curious.
Because he has been looking for the whereabouts of Batman during this time, but after the map of the regional library was banned by Dr. Manhattan, it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack to find Batman in the city of Gotham, but his counterattack plan In the movie, Batman is an indispensable part, but it's just that it doesn't feel right no matter how you hear it from the clown.
"Batman? What do you mean, Joker!"
"It's nothing, I just think this game is a little bit boring, so I have to make this game more playable, so I came to share information with you. As for how I found you, don't forget, knights and Knights are attracted to each other, especially now that I am still a Joker, right, hahahaha!"
"So, what do you want to say, just say it, clown."
"Thomas Elliot Manor, that's all, goodbye~"
After simply saying a place name, the clown melted into the darkness again and disappeared from Ke Wen's vision. And Ke Wen, because of the clown's words, some things that he hadn't figured out before were also connected in his mind at this moment. Before the calculation of the heterogeneous single body, the anomaly that appeared at the same time as Silence and Thomas Elliott seemed to be connected by a thread.
"It turned out to be like this, but I was on the edge of a dead end, but I still didn't understand some things. Forget it, if you don't understand, you don't understand. At least now, I have nothing to be afraid of. Let's get rid of Batman first."
Although he still had some doubts in his heart, Ke Wen also understood the priority of the matter. After a word of emotion, he disappeared on the street and galloped towards Thomas Elliott's manor. When the beauty of Tan.
In Thomas Elliott's underground manor, Batman, whose back was broken by Bane, just hung there, his whole consciousness in a drowsy state. And the TV above the cell is also broadcasting the situation of Gotham at the moment, showing the destruction of Gotham citizens in Gotham City in 360 degrees without dead ends, turning the Gotham he once maintained and improved into its original appearance, or even worse.
And in his heart, he kept thinking about the family truth that the clown told him before, and the Wayne family he was proud of was not his own from the very beginning. From his ancestors to him, he is just a descendant of a thief, a descendant of a plagiarist. If this is the case, then did my parents really get killed for the city of Gotham, or is there something else hidden? ?
These questions circling in his head, coupled with the constant voices coming from the TV, sent Batman into a state of self-doubt. He became Batman with the sole purpose of making Gotham better. Although the method was not good, when he was around, even just the bat searchlight flickering in the night sky was enough to scare Xiaoxiao, but now, there is no People care if Batman shows up.
Everyone is going crazy, sliding into the abyss with the city he loves so much, he failed, if he wants to save Gotham, the only way is to control all the citizens of Gotham with fear. And the best way to scare the citizens of Gotham is to kill! When this idea that shouldn't have appeared in Batman's mind, he couldn't get rid of it. He began to think about how to use killing to scare the citizens of this city. At this time, an untimely The voice sounded.
"Yo, what are you thinking there alone~"
The sound was very low, but it also pulled Batman out of this wrong thinking in time, and then saw Ke Wen lying on the ground like this, holding his head with one hand. Just lying there on his side, he greeted Batman, and by the way, he also took out his mobile phone and took a picture of Batman's downcast state at this time. It's rare to see Batman's autistic appearance. In the past, he was beaten to autism by a gang of bosses, but now the father of DC is autistic. If I don't take pictures, I always feel sorry for my current villain.
"Faiz? Why are you here?" Batman was also stunned when he saw Ke Wen appearing in the underground cell. Coupled with Ke Wen's non-resistance when fighting himself before, Batman still doesn't understand the reason why Ke Wen appeared here.
"Why am I here? It's not because of you. I was beaten up by you before, and then I was calculated by others. I am very narrow-minded. If I don't get revenge, I can't sleep well."
In response to Batman's words, Ke Wen stood up from the ground, walked in front of Batman, looked at the protruding spine behind Batman, and shook his head there. Unexpectedly, Batman did not escape the fate of breaking his back in the end, and Bane forcibly achieved the achievement of breaking his back as a madman. Just now, when he came here, he also felt that something was wrong with Batman. The previous Batman, No matter what, I will carry the confidence that Zhizhu is in my hands.
No matter what happens, he won't panic, but the breath that Batman revealed just now carries a kind of danger, the kind that makes his skin crawl. If he hadn't made a sound in time to pull Batman out of this state, God knows what would have happened later.
"So, are you here to mock me now? Then you succeeded, Faiz." For Ke Wen's ridicule, Batman, who was out of that dangerous thinking, also responded there. Now he can't move, lingering in his mind The problem of the problem, as well as what happened in Gotham, also made him not in the mood to guess the purpose of Ke Wen's coming here. He just wants Ke Wen to leave now.
"It's unnecessary to mock you, I'm just here to tell you something."
"about what?"
Regarding the question of Batman, Ke Wen just made such a casual move. A Batman authorized comic "Gotham: The Mystery of Shadows" with the title page burned appeared in Ke Wen's hands, and he placed it in front of Batman at will. A breeze blew, and the pages of the comics were also turning there, reflecting in Batman's eyes. And Ke Wen was also there telling the story about this comic.
"I think you should be clear about the source of this comic. Dick Grayson, that is, Nightwing, authorized this comic in your name when you ran out of the earth, and then created this comic by Consortium B Comics. It has only one role , is to let the citizens of Gotham know why this city is like this, and why you appeared. Of course, there is no serialization about the origin of Batman's birth, but this comic is still quite popular in Gotham , at least before."
"So what, it turns out that the comics are just for entertainment. Now Gotham, who cares about the reasons for Gotham's degeneration described in the comics, they just want to drag the city to die together." Batman He also said there with a little pessimism, his current mentality is not right anymore.
For Batman's state, Ke Wen also understands, isn't it just autistic, he has come here. He nodded in front of Batman, and then continued: "Maybe you are right, they have lost confidence in themselves and think that they are not worthy of redemption, even Batman is just blocking them on a cliff It’s just on the side, but the owner of this manga doesn’t think so.”
"Owner?!"
"Yes, a little boy, he rescued this comic book that should have been turned into fuel. He held this comic book in his arms like a treasure, looked up at the night sky, and seemed to be praying for a certain figure to appear. He didn't He understands why the city he lives in has changed overnight, and the people around him have become so strange, but he firmly believes that someone will change all of this. That person is not me, not Nightwing, not Superman, but The dark knight of this city, Batman!"
"I?"
"Otherwise, is it still me! Maybe, for many people, you are the fear of Gotham, the shadow that hangs over the hearts of Gotham citizens, but for this boy, you are hope, because your If you exist, he can wait until his parents come home at night, instead of two policemen suddenly coming to tell him some bad news. Because of your existence, he realizes that the city he lives in is not so Oops.
Admittedly, I admit that you are having a terrible time now. Look at you, you have a herniated lumbar disc. "Speaking, Ke Wen took advantage of Batman's inattention, and pushed directly at the protruding part of Batman's spine. With a crisp sound, the protruding spine was pushed back, and Batman just uttered With a scream, he fell from the ground, but he also felt his lower limbs.
And Ke Wen just stood in front of Batman, opened the prison door, and looked at him.
"Maybe Gotham has fallen and has fallen to the bottom, but it also means that this will be the beginning of its rise. What they need is a banner, a dark knight, and the last hope in their hearts. Of course , It’s a bit arrogant to say so, to put it simply, you have to at least respond to that boy’s expectations, as long as you stand up, who can stop you in this city? Now, the door is open, and you can’t get out , it’s up to you.”
After all, Ke Wen also turned around chicly, ready to leave. And Batman looked at this familiar and unfamiliar figure, and asked his own question, "Where the hell are you!"
"Me? I'm just a villain who wants to be a hero out of interest. If you really want to say it, a passing Kamen Rider will do. You don't need to remember the name. Finally, I will ask you a question. Why did we fall, Bruce? "
Lying on the ground, Batman subconsciously replied: "So we can learn how to stand up...Father?!"
When he came back to his senses, Ke Wen had already disappeared, leaving only the open cell door and a passage leading to nowhere. And at this moment, Batman also understands what he needs to do now. He has never become Batman for the sake of fame. Whether the citizens of Gotham are afraid of him or love him, his only purpose is to save himself This city, and this city itself, is weeping now! How can he shut himself up here, he is Batman, Batman who will never fail!
With this belief, Batman began to move, moving towards the cell door opened by Ke Wen. Recovering consciousness, Batman mobilized his limbs with his supernatural willpower, moving towards the prison door, and at the same time, cheering himself up there.
"Don't stop, don't stop! Just get there, that's where I am, Batman!"
