Chapter 1210 The Cry of the Lamb (Twenty-nine)

When night fell, Bruce did not rest in the room. He came to the corner of the manor garden holding a slightly huge flower pot.

What was a little surprising was that the flower pot was not planted with flowers, but a mineral raw stone. What was even more confusing was that Bruce squatted down holding the flower pot and began to talk to the ore.

"Just like what we did in the mine before, once someone attacks the shadow mine, you should not restrict it, and let all the shadow vines in the shadow mine burst out."

"But that's very dangerous!" A voice came from the mineral, and a pair of eyes appeared in the translucent ore, spinning around, looking at Bruce, and said: "Your human body is very fragile. If you get hit, you may die."

"Then you control the shadow vines to imprison the other party, but don't hurt him, can you do it?"

The eyes in the mineral blinked and came with a positive answer. After Bruce put down the flower pot, he walked back to the hall with some difficulty, and Jason and Tim just walked in.

The two children carried two heavy boxes. Tim lifted the boxes above his head and ran to Bruce, saying like offering treasures: "Look, we went to the Bat Cave and brought all your equipment!"

"Thank you, but I don't want to use them now." Bruce shook his head and said.

Tim opened his eyes wide in surprise and said, "Don't want to use them? Then how do you protect yourself? You will get hurt."

Jason also echoed, "You are already seriously injured. If you fight with others without armor, others only need a knife to pierce your lungs."

"Don't worry, I have a way, don't worry."

Bruce coaxed them upstairs and asked them to stay in the bedroom and never come out. He asked Alfred to look after Elsa, and he didn't wear any equipment, just an ordinary sweater, sitting on the sofa and waiting for the night to come.

After the night fell, Bruce, who felt a little sleepy, keenly heard a sound coming from the garden. He immediately woke up and walked into the garden.

Bruce knew that Thomas would definitely take this road. The invasion weakness of all the manors in Gotham was the garden, because he himself had used this weakness before.

So, he saw Batman Thomas in the corner of the garden without any surprise. He was standing in the darkness again, darker than the darkness.

Bruce leaned against the wall of the manor building. He felt very bad. The air in the garden was cold and damp. His wounds were still in great pain. His physical strength had not recovered at all, and he had no equipment that could give him a sense of security.

Bruce felt that he was naked like a baby now, but he asked for it.

"You have heard about what happened during the day." Thomas said.

"I know, it was you who did it." Bruce supported one hand on the wall, trying to resist the idea of ​​sliding down and curling up, and said in a somewhat dry voice: "You deliberately hid, so that I exhausted my physical strength while running, and deliberately provoked Alberto and Roy's family conflicts, so that I was exhausted on the way to dissuade them."

"Are you still not going to repent?" Thomas asked, but he was not actually asking, as if he was sure that Bruce would not change at all.

But what made him feel a little confused was that he did not see stubbornness in Bruce's eyes. Bruce finally couldn't help it. His back leaned against the wall and slowly slid down and sat on the ground.

Thomas frowned deeply. He couldn't understand Bruce's move. This was showing weakness to the enemy, which was not conducive to the confrontation.

"I think what you said makes sense." Bruce lowered his head slightly and said in a dry and hoarse voice: "Batman's career is meaningless. I should give up as soon as possible and go back to being Bruce Wayne."

Thomas froze there, but soon he began to look around vigilantly and said: "This is your delaying tactic."

"Batman's instinct makes you doubt everything." Bruce said intermittently: "You think I'm lying, just to set a trap for you."

"I don't repent, you want me to repent, I repent, but you don't believe it. Are you crazy or am I crazy?"

When Bruce was muttering these words, it seemed that he was not talking to Thomas in front of him, but to himself, because Bruce thought of another person.

When he showed that he was not an ordinary person, Bruce wanted him to be an ordinary person, but when he really tried to be an ordinary person, Bruce didn't believe it.

Bruce now just felt ridiculous and wanted to laugh. He was a person who didn't believe in metaphysics, but at this moment he could only say that everything was karma and retribution.

Bruce used up his last bit of strength to stand up. He leaned against the wall and looked into Thomas' eyes and said, "I will give up being Batman and will never wear that uniform again. You should call Gordon now and tell him what you did today, then turn yourself in and go to jail."

Bruce saw Thomas' fingertips began to tremble. It was not anger, but more like anger. So, Bruce said in a mysterious way: "You are seeking revenge, right?"

"Because I disobeyed you before, because I did not obey your arrangement, because I rejected you, so even if I took a step back, you still felt ashamed for giving in."

Thomas stared at Bruce expressionlessly, but he found that Bruce seemed to be talking to himself instead of him.

Thomas walked forward, and just before he reached out to touch Bruce, a bat dart flew out of his palm. Thomas rolled to the side in an instant, and his vigilance was raised to the highest level.

But the target of this bat dart was not his arm, but a strange flower pot behind Thomas. The sharp blade hit the ore body, and in an instant, endless shadow vine tentacles surged out.

A pair of eyes loomed between the vines. The vines slowed down the offensive, but still instantly wrapped Thomas' body, pulled him back to the wall, and fixed him to the wall.

Thomas stared at Bruce intently. Bruce panted for a while, but still stood up and said.

"I don't blame you at all, and I am sure that you are the real Thomas. Although you may not be the dead Thomas, you may really be my father, because our ideas are really the same."

"When two people have a conflict and confront each other, when the other party advances, I will advance more than him, but when the other party retreats, I doubt whether he really retreats. In order to verify this suspicion, I have to go further until I force the other party to retreat."

"When the other party has no way to retreat and starts to fight back, I will feel that my suspicion is indeed correct, and then I will resort to violence. After winning, Continue to oppress the other party. "

"But this oppression has nothing to do with the original conflict. It's just anger at the other party's previous resistance... It's a personal revenge."

"I don't know if this is a genetic disease of the Wayne family, or it may be Batman's curse."

Before Thomas could speak, Bruce asked in front of him: "You give me a familiar feeling, but it doesn't come from you being Thomas, but from the fact that your judgment of me is always based on judgments other than facts... What did Schiller say to you?"

"He said that Batman is destroying himself." Thomas was silent for a while, and then spoke.

"Sure enough." Bruce staggered out, holding the wall, and said as he walked: "I'm not surprised that you were deceived by him, but it's not your fault. This is not a trick, but an insight into people's hearts."

"He saw that what you care most about is whether your son will repeat the tragic fate of Batman."

"So, he made up an extremely miserable me for you. He took advantage of your urgency and knew that you would feel that change is urgent due to your anxiety. He ignored the facts and evidence. He didn't know you too well, but he knew me too well."

"Where are you going?" Thomas asked, watching Bruce leave.

Bruce paused and said, "Maybe hell."

In the dark and narrow prison corridor, Amanda led a group of security personnel to the stairs quickly. She went down the stairs to the bottom floor and saw Bruce waiting there.

"Where is Schiller?" Bruce looked at Amanda and asked.

"The murder that occurred at the FBI base in La Villa County in the metropolitan area has been accused of being done by a mysterious organization called the 'Assassin's League', and Talia Aug, who mysteriously disappeared a few days ago, has become the most likely suspect."

Amanda folded her arms, looked at Bruce and said, "The FBI found that Talia had an extra interest in you. They suspected that the Wayne Group might be in collusion with the Assassin's League, so they commissioned me to investigate... You know, they need a balance."

"So now, this prison is still under my control. Although the employees want money, they want their lives more."

"Mr. Wayne, Professor Schiller said he doesn't want to see you. Now, please leave."

"Where is he?" Bruce asked again.

Instant. The sound of countless guns being loaded rang out, and the security guards pointed their guns at Bruce. Amanda then said, "I advise you not to have any dangerous thoughts. Just yesterday, a group of KGB sneaked into the prison and almost caused a big mess."

"The FBI believes that the KGB may want to rescue Schiller, which means that Schiller has important secrets or is extremely valuable, so they immediately took Schiller to the FBI headquarters."

"I don't know what they talked about, but in the end, they reached an agreement that at certain critical moments, Schiller would use his abilities to serve the FBI, and the FBI would exonerate Schiller, which means that Schiller is no longer a prisoner."

Bruce took two steps forward and did not speak, but Amanda knew that he had repeated the question again.

Amanda showed a mocking expression, and just as she was about to speak, Bruce rushed to her side at lightning speed and strangled her neck with his arm.

"Don't move." Bruce shouted.

The security guards wanted to turn their guns, but when they saw Amanda being held hostage, they hesitated. No matter which of the two people they shot, there would be no good results, so they stopped.

Amanda gritted her teeth, looked at Bruce sideways and said, "Anyone with a conscience will not come here to run rampant after sending their teacher to prison!"

"Tell me, where is he?" Bruce's arm tightened.

Amanda had some difficulty breathing. She stared at Bruce, but in the end she could only say intermittently: "Inquiry room... He asked me to tell you... If you go to him... You will bear the consequences..."

Bruce let go of Amanda. Amanda covered her neck and looked at his back. After taking a few breaths, she said to the security guard next to her:

"Call the doctor and prepare for first aid... Forget it, prepare the plane. These two crazy people, even if one of them is going to die, don't die here!"
