Chapter 1464: Birds and Return (IX)
Red Robin sneakily pushed open the door of a room. Seeing that Red Hood, who was sitting by the bed and sorting out his equipment, was not asleep, he breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice, "Let's go. The butler is not here."
Red Hood fixed his weapon on his waist again, stood up, stomped his feet impatiently, kicked the carpet on the ground and said, "I told you at the beginning that we would knock out the Flash as soon as he came. It was because you were so slow that we ended up like this today!"
"Don't complain, Jason." Red Robin walked in front and opened the door and said, "Who would have thought that Batman was really determined to send us out? He usually just talked."
The face under the Red Hood seemed impatient, but a trace of thought flashed between his eyebrows. Red Robin's wisdom allowed him to understand the behavior patterns of everyone in the Bat Family. Feeling the silence of the Red Hood, he asked, "Do you think there is something wrong?"
"That's too much." The Red Hood said unhappily : "We all know that Batman is not a generous person. To some extent, he regards Gotham and the Bat Family as his personal property and does not allow anyone to interfere. Do you think he will give Gotham to others?"
"Of course not." Red Robin walked into the corridor and said, "He will only say 'Get out of my Gotham'."
Red Hood touched his chin and said in a serious tone: "This is the problem. Not only did he ask us to leave Gotham, leave his surveillance and protection, but he also sent us to such a far place."
"More importantly, this place is probably completely out of his control. Even if there is Flash, he may not be able to rescue us in time when we are in danger."
Red Hood paused, as if he felt a little irritated. He pulled off his mask, shook his hair, looked at Red Robin who was staring at him and said, "Don't look at me with that damn look!"
"We all know what he is worried about." Red Robin shrugged and said.
"This is exactly what I find strange." Red Hood walked down the stairs and stood at the corner and said, "His unnecessary worries have made him treat us as fragile birds. He even came to remind us in person not to drink at the party. Why did he suddenly change his nature this time and kick us to another distant universe?"
"This universe is too strange." Red Robin could only comment like this: "Every place and everyone is strange, Batman is especially strange. I didn't expect that the young Batman would be like this."
Red Hood snorted and said, "I have no idea what the Batman of other universes is like. Heart, I just want to find out Batman's purpose for doing this. "
"Before coming to you, I walked around the manor, but I didn't find the entrance to the Batcave. I saw an entrance that seemed to be the basement, but I didn't go there because I was worried that there might be an alarm device. "
"Haven't you heard enough of other people praising your wisdom?" Red Hood said unhappily: "Speak to the point."
Although Red Hood's tone was full of impatience, Red Robin seemed to be praised. He crossed his arms and went to the stairs. Maybe it's not under Wayne Manor, or it's just a fake. The real Batcave should be outside Wayne Manor."
Red Hood frowned, he glanced at Red Robin, and didn't express his opinion immediately, and Red Robin fumbled with his fingers and said: "Then let's follow the usual practice and skip the part where you impatiently listened to me talk about my reasoning process, and go straight to the result."
"You should have seen it too. Just as it got dark, Batman went out. I suspect he went to the Batcave, but we can't follow him. That will definitely be discovered, and there's no hope of installing surveillance cameras. "
"But we can follow the traces left by the Batmobile all the way back. You know, this is not difficult for me."
"Then what are you waiting for, let's get started."
The two figures walked out of the gate of Wayne Manor, and encountered the first problem on the road at the gate of the manor.
Red Hood stared at the tire tracks under his feet that were almost wider than his own, raised his chin at Red Robin and said, "Tracking the traces of the Batmobile, huh? That's really good. It seems that the Batman of this universe likes to drive a truck."
Red Robin turned around several times in confusion, and used his investigation and reasoning talents that were comparable to Batman to repeatedly consider and find that Batman might really be sitting in a truck.
"It's not strange, right?" Red Robin spread his hands and said, "Although the truck is large in size, it has strong defense and attack power. As for the image problem, maybe the Batman of this universe has a unique aesthetic? "
Soon, the two followed the traces of the truck to the parking lot of the truck, and then followed the footprints to find a barbecue street.
It was almost late at night, and most people started to walk out after eating and drinking. Red Robin, who was walking in the opposite direction with them, looked around and suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd.
"Batman is there." Red Robin said softly. He wanted to remind Red Hood, but the figure Red Hood saw was more familiar - it was the Joker.
The next second, Red Robin also saw the figure. He let out a dying whimper as if something was strangling his neck, and then the next action was to pull Red Hood's arm.
But soon he was surprised to find that the force he expected to break free did not come, and Red Hood did not rush up to kill him like crazy as he usually did when he saw the Joker.
Red Robin swallowed his saliva and gently pulled Red Hood's sleeve, fearing that he was scared silly, but at some point, Red Hood had put on a mask and Red Robin could not see his expression.
"Oh my God! What are Batman and the Joker doing together? Is that Damian in Batman's arms? Could it be that the Joker kidnapped Damian?... Who is that? Gordon? How can he be so young? God! Barbara is there too, I knew they would not stay still!"
"Hurry up, Jason, let's hide over there, we can't let them find us!"
Red Robin pulled Red Hood to hide on the side of an intersection not far from the barbecue stall where Batman and the Joker were, with his back against the wall and his head stretched out to see what they were doing.
The crowd was bustling out and soon dispersed, so the barbecue stall was no longer so noisy. The conversation between Batman and the Joker could be heard clearly from the wind.
"Your daughter will go to elementary school next year?"
"Yes, I haven't shown her a school yet."
"Are you going to let her go to a church school?"
"I was going to hire a tutor for Elsa, but Thomas said she needed to learn social skills. You know, that's the one, 'Real ladies entered the social world long before they entered the social world.'"
"He looks like he's from the era of 'Pride and Prejudice'."
"Who says not? ... James? James? Well, it looks like he's drunk again, Barbara, you support him, I'll go to check out."
After a rustling sound, Red Robin saw Batman stand up from the stool, then took out his wallet from his pocket and walked towards the owner of the barbecue stall.
He stopped in front of the barbecue stall and rummaged through his wallet. He took out a card, handed it to the stall owner and said, "Swipe it."
The stall owner took out a card swipe machine from the side, swiped Batman's custom card that looked like it cost tens of billions and had to be upgraded every year through the machine, and then frowned.
The machine beeped twice, and Batman leaned over to see. He seemed to be discussing something with the stall owner in a low voice, and then rummaged through his wallet again.
He took out another custom card that looked like it could only be obtained by depositing money in a noble bank controlled by a vampire for several centuries. The stall owner took it and swiped it on the machine. It still beeped twice, and there was no response.
Red Robin saw that Batman frowned and whispered, "What's going on? Why are all my cards frozen?"
At this time, another figure bumped him away. It was the Joker in a truck driver's uniform. He impatiently took out his wallet, took out a stack of cash and handed it to the stall owner, then rolled his eyes at Batman and said, "If you don't have money, don't follow others and say you want to treat us!"
Batman muttered again, but said nothing, put away the card, and followed the Joker back to the stall.
Red Robin and Red Hood, who stretched out their heads from the corner of the wall, made a uniform movement - "Zeng" retracted their heads, covered their mouths and widened their eyes, and then shouted wildly in their minds - "What's going on???!"
Batman eats, and the Joker pays the bill? ? ?
"What are you doing here?!"
A familiar voice came from a distance. Red Robin looked out and saw Batman walking towards him. He slapped Jason's arm frantically at a very fast frequency and said, "What should I do? What should I do? He's coming!"
"You ask me, who the hell should I ask! Don't run! It's too late!"
Five minutes later, Jack's truck had two new sculptures.
The demon boy Damian, who was still held in Bruce's arms, turned his head to look at the back seat. When he turned back, he grinned, and his smile was brighter than the clown.
There is a saying that the more unstable the worldview is, the easier it is to accept new knowledge and regard it as common sense. Damian is afraid of the clown, but not that afraid. After all, he came from a killer organization and has seen countless kinds of terrifying humans.
But Red Hood and Red Robin are not like this, especially Red Hood. The seat space in the truck is not large, and the back seat is squeezed in. Red Hood sits right behind the clown, and there is only a seat back between him and the clown. He was not so close to the clown when he died in the hands of the clown.
There was a deathly silence in the car.
As soon as the truck door opened, two figures in the back seat rushed out like crazy. Red Robin got out of the car and began to retch while holding his neck. Red Hood's legs were so weak that he couldn't stand.
The next second, they thought of Batman. They looked at the front door and saw that the Wayne father and son, who had eaten and drunk enough, were sleeping soundly.
Through the window of the truck, they saw that the Joker had unbuckled his seat belt, struggled to get over Bruce and Damian in his arms, and pushed open the door on Bruce's side.
Then he kicked the father and son out.
As the truck drove away, Bruce tried to open his sleepy eyes, looked back at Red Hood and Red Robin who were still standing on the side of the road, and said, "I should have asked him to take you back to Wayne Manor first..."
Red Robin shrank his neck, "Big Big Big Big Big, there's no need..."
"Then let's go, accompany me in."
"Where are we going?"
"Look for yourself where this is."
Red Robin and Red Hood looked up and found themselves standing in front of a tall iron fence gate.
There was an arc-shaped support at the top of the gate, and in the center of the arc hung a plaque with a line of words written in cursive English on it - "Arkham Asylum".
