Chapter 2070: Knight's Night of Terror (XIV)

Peter was at a loss.

But it was not entirely because of Batman's actions, but because his spider sense sounded at the wrong time.

Spider-Man's spider sense is a very magical thing. It cannot be regarded as a sense, but more like a prophecy. It is fundamental to prevent danger.

For example, when Peter passed by Scarecrow's fear gas, the fear gas had not yet erupted and did not cause harm to anyone, but the spider sense would sound faintly, indicating that there might be danger around.

Under the joint guidance of Schiller and Stark, Peter can partially use the spider sense actively. For example, when he focuses on something, he can vaguely judge whether there is a problem with the direction of things.

Similarly, this can also be used to judge whether someone has malicious intentions. When Peter's attention is completely projected on someone, once the other party has malicious intentions towards him, Peter can almost immediately detect it through the spider sense.

But when Batman asked him to sit down, the spider sense did not react at all.

Is this not an attack? Peter thought a little dazedly.

Wait, it seems that it is indeed not.

Although Batman's tone of voice was like "I'm going to lock you up in a scary little black room forever", his starting point might indeed be to protect Nightwing and Peter.

This is not difficult to understand. Barbara and Gordon are missing, Robin is out of contact, and Jason's mysterious case has not been solved. Obviously, someone is targeting members of the Bat Family. Although finding victims is important, protecting members who haven't been in trouble is equally important.

Is this reaction a bit too fast?

Peter thought with some pain, could it be that Batman has already deduced from the context of the matter that there is a mysterious behind-the-scenes manipulating the situation?

Peter glanced at the clock. It was 2 a.m.

Three hours ago, Batman witnessed the fall of Gotham people, two and a half hours ago he learned that he was kidnapped, and two hours ago he witnessed Gotham being bombed by missiles.

An hour and a half ago he learned that Barbara and Gordon were missing, an hour ago he was shocked to hear the news of Jason Todd's death, and half an hour ago he found out that Robin was out of contact.

Then he used this half hour to completely calm down, eliminate the influence of all emotional fluctuations, accurately find out what is wrong in all events, and did not doubt himself at all, but immediately made the best choice very accurately.

What kind of steel nerves are these? !

And how did he determine that his spider sense would not avoid his attack?

"You don't think that you can avoid his attack with that kind of wonderful premonition of crisis?" Nightwing smiled bitterly at Peter and said, "Believe it or not, if you go to the Bat Archive now, you can find a more specific and clear analysis of your abilities than you know?"

"This is Batman." Nightwing sighed and said, "As long as he is prepared, no one can be his opponent."

Peter raised his hand with force in disbelief, and the metal did not move at all, not even a little deformation.

Then he suddenly found that his seat was higher than the usual seat, so his feet could not touch the ground.

As we all know, the action of force is mutual. To break free from something, you need a fulcrum, and if you can't touch the ground, the fulcrum is only your own bones.

That is to say, the largest and most powerful muscle group in the human body, the hip muscle group, cannot function at all because there is no fulcrum there.

Moreover, the fulcrum for Peter's hand-raising action is his elbow, and there is hard metal under his elbow. He either cannot exert force or it will be very painful. Now there is no symbiote to help him immune to pain.

Peter began to exert force to the outside again, and then he found that this chair was definitely specially customized. The moment his chest muscles expanded, the bones of his wrist pressed against the inside of the metal buckle, and he gasped in pain.

"Don't waste your energy."

After Batman left, Nightwing tilted his head to one side and said, "If you go to his Bat Furniture Warehouse, you will see more than two hundred versions of the chair, which are specially designed to lock you up one day, to ensure that once you sit on it, you will never be able to break free."

Peter sighed, he slowly twisted his wrist and pressed a button on his watch strap.

Poison Ivy, who was still sitting in the truck, found that the communicator had lit up. She looked out the window and saw the flashing lights of the Batmobile, and she pushed open the door of the truck and walked out.

Zila——

After the sharp brake sound, the lights of the Batmobile flashed twice, and under the light, a huge tree root was lying in the middle of the originally flat road.

Batman got out of the car and looked up to see the vague figure on the high-rise building and the rapidly shrinking vines.

Then he walked towards the tree root, jumped on the tree root with a neat movement and flipped down, and drove the Batmobile again towards the destination.

Finding that Batman was not fooled, Poison Ivy took a deep breath, and finally did not go down to face Batman. She glanced at the flashing lights of the truck below, grabbed the vines and jumped off the building, and drove towards the Batcave.

Ten minutes later, Poison Ivy was thrown into the prison of the Batcave and fell to the ground with a cry of pain.

When Peter next to him clenched his fists gently, he found that his palms were full of sweat.

It was difficult for him to describe the terrifying deterrent power of Batman now.

"Relax." Nightwing kindly reminded: "Adjust your heart rate, don't be afraid, he won't hurt us."

He really won't hurt you, Peter thought in his heart, but whether he will hurt me depends on whether Poison Ivy will confess.

Indeed, I rely too much on spider sense, Peter thought, Dr. Schiller clearly said this before, it is necessary to investigate from all directions and make comprehensive judgments, and relying on danger sensing will always make mistakes one day.

Batman can make countless mistakes, but I can only make one mistake.

Wait, if Batman is sure that Poison Ivy will come, then what made him make this judgment?

Batman knows every villain in Gotham, so he must know that Poison Ivy has no courage to attack the Batcave.

If he had expected that Poison Ivy had a reason to come to the Batcave, and only pretended to leave and then came back, it means that he had already guessed the reason why Poison Ivy had to come, and he must have thought that this reason was tenable, so he set a trap.

What else could Poison Ivy have to come for?

There are only three people in the Batcave now, two of whom are father and son, who else could be a traitor?

Peter thought bitterly, is Batman's willpower made of vibranium? There were at least ten ups and downs in the middle of the night, and it only took half an hour from sorting out the ideas to saving the situation.

Peter thought carefully about his actions and found that there were no loopholes at all, and every time point was just right.

Whether it was prying emotions, creating clues, or guiding actions, it was almost all about the right time, right place, and right people, plus perfect performance, how could it become like this?

Suddenly, Peter remembered Schiller's tip - "...Peter, you have to remember that death is never the best reward. You have more ways to turn it into a gift. When things start to develop in a mundane and boring direction, maybe you should be bolder."

Isn't he bold enough?

Peter began to think seriously about Schiller's words, because he knew that the person who gave this sentence was not Dr. Schiller, whom he was familiar with, but the professor.

Peter also learned about Batman and their story from the professor's words. There is no doubt that the professor knows Batman very well, so this tip cannot be so simple.

Wait a minute, Peter's keen inspiration told him that something was wrong. The focus of this sentence did not seem to be "bold".

Because if the professor wanted to tell him that his behavior should be more radical, there was no need to say the previous sentence, just say the last sentence directly, and as far as Peter knew, the professor did not like to talk nonsense.

"Death is never the best punishment. You have more ways to turn it into a gift."

Peter thought about this sentence many times in his mind, and felt that he gradually noticed some clues, but there was still a little bit missing.

Peter initially understood this sentence to mean that there are actually many things in this world that are more painful than death, and of course you can do it with your own ability, so you can be completely fearless of killing people, and even turn death into a gift to end pain.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems wrong. Another professor Schiller is also a master of psychology. He should know that he doesn't kill people, and he has no motivation to persuade himself to kill people.

After all, if you want to lead the Spider Army, most of Spider-Man will not kill people. You can't turn all Spider-Man into killer embryos, right? This is completely a far-fetched approach and meaningless.

If this sentence is not persuading yourself to let go of the bottom line of not killing people, what does it mean?

Just as Peter was thinking carefully, he saw the apologetic look from Poison Ivy in the cage, and the emotional shock interrupted his train of thought.

For the first time, Peter felt this emotion called "fear" very intuitively.

In the past, he had spider sense, and most dangers were within his expectations. Even if he couldn't avoid them, he could be mentally prepared.

But Peter really didn't know what Batman would do to him.

Peter felt his heart start to beat wildly, his breathing became rapid, and cold sweat soaked his back.

Then he realized that even if Poison Ivy didn't tell him, his reaction would make Batman realize that he was holding a bag full of silver coins.

Peter began to desperately control his vital signs, and then he realized that he had relied too much on the symbiote before.

He vaguely remembered that Steve told him how to force his heartbeat and maintain stable vital signs to face the battle, and Natasha also told him how agents should face interrogation calmly and not reveal flaws in their appearance.

He remembered all the theories, but he had never had a chance to practice them. Now that he really practiced them, Peter found that it was not that the method was not useful, but that Batman's oppression was too strong.

Batman didn't look at Poison Ivy at all. He turned his head and looked at Peter, staring at him, and then walked towards him.

The heavy footsteps sounded like the countdown to an execution, and the silent air instantly condensed into a sharp blade hanging over his head, and the gaze projected over was like the knife that cut the guillotine chain.

Boom, boom, boom...

The heartbeat began to coincide with the dull sound, and when Batman's voice sounded, there was a kind of frivolity that shouldn't appear, like a cat teasing a mouse.

"What's wrong with you, Peter?"

Peter felt that all the pores on his back had turned into waterfalls, and after the cold sweat flowed out, it turned into ice thorns like thorns on his back.

"Stop! Get him back!"

Treated stood up and walked out of the theater, and was about to float to the surface consciousness to operate the Doujie system to pull Peter back.

At this time, Pride grabbed his arm, Greed looked back at him, Pride shook his head and said: "You know, there will be no progress without pressure."

"But that's Batman." Greed's expression was rare and serious. He said: "No one dares to say that he can completely control the situation with Batman. You can't, right?"

"I have no objection to the successor accepting the test. Blood and tears will flow sooner or later, but everything must be under control."

"Anything related to Batman is extremely dangerous and uncontrollable. We can't guarantee that anyone in such a scene will not be really hurt."

"High risk, high reward, this is what you often say." Pride did not let go of his hand, but continued: "Facing Batman directly is extremely terrifying for any intelligent creature, because he is the embodiment of fear, and the one in front of us can also be called terrifying among the incarnations of fear."

"Such a huge pressure can defeat anyone's mind. We all know Dao, even with the blessing of autism, cannot say that he does not feel any pressure when facing the Batman of the main universe, let alone Peter.

Greed looked at Pride with some doubts, and Pride continued: "But if Peter can survive, his gains will be amazing."

"You expected it a long time ago, right? That's why you gave him that hint." Greed sighed, but did not move forward, but said: "You should have said it more clearly."

"Peter is very smart." Pride shook his head slightly and said: "And the huge pressure will be the catalyst for his wisdom. Once he crosses this hurdle, no one knows how far he will grow."

Then he looked directly at Greed and said: "As you said, we planted a seed, but we don't know what kind of flower it will eventually grow into."

"Maybe one day, I will be surprised to find on the balcony on the third floor that a flower branch has stretched here, and this is what you are giving me in return, isn't it?"
