Chapter 2077 Knight's Night of Terror (Twenty-One)

Batman frowned deeply.

"Sorry, this is one of the gifts I brought." Peter shrugged, looked at Jason and said, "This is a specialty of my hometown. They are kind parasitic life, or in other words, their kindness is determined by their previous host."

"Sorry, but Jason, you couldn't hide your base from Batman. You should know that you can't hide it from him, right?"

Jason didn't rush up. He shrank in the corner with some fear, staring at Batman and said, "You want to monitor me from inside my brain, huh?! You...you..."

When a parent breaks the door lock of a child's room without consent, the child will be angry, but when a parent opens the child's skull and implants a positioning chip, the child will probably only be afraid.

Jason is a little scared now.

As the saying goes, a man should be revisited after three days of absence. What has Batman experienced in the year he was away?

"But this is not over yet." Peter continued.

"Although it was Batman's plan to allow the outbreak of the gas disaster, he had to take an extra layer of insurance."

"So even if he knew in advance that you were going to cooperate with Scarecrow, he didn't stop you, because as long as you were there, Scarecrow's actions would not escape his sight."

"Despicable! Batman! You actually used such a despicable method as a spy! You are simply a shame for superheroes!" Scarecrow gritted his teeth and cursed.

"But Batman also knew that if he pushed you too hard, you would detonate the gas in the whole city, which would still cause a certain amount of chaos, so after knowing your whereabouts, he did not immediately arrest you."

"On the contrary, he asked me to pretend to be kidnapped by you... Oh, I was kidnapped by the Arkham Knight who was in your group. By the way, the kidnapping process was modified by the symbiote's memory."

Peter looked at Jason and said, "If you think about it carefully, you should be able to recall that it was me who strangled you with spider silk, not you who knocked me out."

Schiller's Law of Fabrication Article 8: Facts remain unchanged, time is confused.

In fact, Peter put the symbiote in Jason's body after he knocked out Arkham Knight, but Peter's expression made it seem like the symbiote had been in Jason's body for a long time, and it was Batman who put it in to monitor Jason's actions.

Jason was fooled. He leaned against the wall with his hands, looked at Batman stiffly, and said in disbelief: "You modified my memory?!"

"Because if it wasn't so, it would be hard to fool Scarecrow." Peter shrugged, walked back behind Batman and said: "And this trick is really good, Scarecrow was fooled."

"I escaped halfway, of course I got Batman's instructions, because this would make Scarecrow lose confidence further, making him more and more impatient, and at the same time start to feel fear."

"Without the hostages in the whole city, you can still count on the kidnapped hostages, but if you don't have the kidnapped hostages, you must not be caught by Batman, let alone caught by him. That's what you think, right?"

Peter spread his arms and said: "See, you were caught by him, and then what? Batman doesn't kill people, you should have thought that even if you were imprisoned by Batman, you would have a chance to escape instead of dying on the spot . "

"Even if Batman doesn't kill you, he will definitely hold back when he does it, so you will have a chance to use the fear gas to escape from his eyes again, so there is no need to panic. "

"But this is the pressure Batman wants to put on you. As long as you focus on escaping, you will have no time to threaten others. "

"And I can gather the remnants of the Bat Family in the city under his instructions, and not give you and other villains the opportunity to kidnap people around him, such as Barbara, Gordon, Nightwing..."

"They were all knocked unconscious by me and Poison Ivy while you were busy escaping, and then transferred to other safe places in a truck. When only you and Batman are left in the city, you no longer have any advantage. "

The Penguin shrank his neck. He knew that Peter was right. Most of the Gotham villains interfered with Batman by kidnapping people around him. This trick has been tried and tested.

But at the same time, he thought, if Batman had realized this long ago and had the ability to move early like this time, why didn't he do it earlier?

Or, is this actually a trap? The Penguin frowned, making them feel that kidnapping hostages was the last insurance, so that even when the situation was unfavorable, they would not withdraw from Gotham, but would accompany him to play this game to the end, and finally play themselves into the Batcave.

The Penguin covered his eyes and thought that Batman was more cunning than he thought. This trick of playing hard to get made him lose the most basic vigilance. In fact, he should have withdrawn long before the disaster that the Scarecrow promised did not happen.

But the Scarecrow still didn't understand. He grabbed the railing and squeezed his head out as hard as he could, as if he wanted to get out and bite Batman. He looked at Batman and said, "You took advantage of the conflict between the Penguin and me to sneak attack us..."

"Then have you ever thought about why you and Penguin had a conflict?" Peter was still hiding behind Batman, but he stuck his head out and said, "I can tell you that it was because Batman asked me to pretend to be your student to find Penguin, cut open his chest, and stuffed two capsules of fear gas into his lungs."

The Scarecrow widened his eyes and turned to look at the Penguin next to him. The Penguin rolled his eyes and pulled his shirt down hard. Scarecrow saw the traces of surgery on it.

Directly stuff the fear gas capsule into the body?

Scarecrow, who has professional knowledge, immediately thought of the consequences of doing so. The effect may be 10 to 20 times that of taking it internally.

And it's not just the explosion speed. Even if the fear gas inhaled from the outside is concentrated, it will only affect people's mental state. In severe cases, it will only make people fall into an extremely chaotic state and start to attack others indiscriminately.

However, high concentrations of fear venom directly participate in the pulmonary circulation, and can completely burn a person's brain within a few tenths of a second, leaving behind either a complete idiot or a vegetative state with no ability to move at all. It can be called a new era of frontal lobotomy.

Instantly, Scarecrow looked at Batman with a bit of horror.

No, who is the villain between us? Who is the super criminal? Who is the mastermind behind the disaster of fear gas? !

"Nonsense." Batman commented.

"Ah, here it comes again." Peter raised his hands and then dropped them, shaking his head in annoyance and said, "Yes, the Penguin read the script on the big screen, and I added that part myself, but it paralyzed Scarecrow better, didn't it?"

"This will make him think that you will definitely go to the Penguin first, so he will relax his vigilance, and he will want to run to the airship of the Stagg Group to capture the betrayed Stagg instead of finding a place to hide. This is not bad."

Peter walked out from behind Batman again, came to Jason's cage, and said, "Sorry, I didn't deliberately make up the news of your death, but what I said to you later was what Batman asked me to say, don't blame me."

Jason looked at him in disbelief.

"It's not hard to understand. If you didn't collapse from anger and faint, why would you be here? You don't expect Batman to go around the city to catch you, do you?"

"As far as I know, he's not such an inefficient person, and you should know him better than me, right?"

Jason's chest began to rise and fall constantly, and the anger that burst out with his breathing almost took shape.

But the root of anger has always been fear.

Batman was surprised to find that Jason didn't rush up to question him as before.

He got angry, and then sat there motionless.

Batman was concerned about every abnormal behavior of Jason, so he took a step forward slightly.

The three people in the cage took a step back together.

Jason had shrunk to the corner of the cage and had nowhere to hide. He just stiffly pressed his back against the wall.

When he looked up at Batman, Batman actually saw in his eyes an unprecedented, extremely straightforward fear, as well as the kind of pleading from the desire to survive.

Just like finding a weak crack in a thorny stone, Batman thought, is he afraid of me?

But he was actually thinking, is he just starting to be afraid of me now?

Is he just starting to feel fear now?

If so, where did his previous unexplained irritability come from?

If not, how long and how deep was his fear? How many times was he deeply disappointed that he had not noticed it?

Batman remembered the words written on the wall, "I trusted you so much."

That may not be a portrayal of momentary anger, but an echo of long-term disappointment.

"That's it." Peter spoke again: "You two fought, Batman easily subdued you, he fainted, and Batman brought him back directly."

Then Peter turned and walked to the table behind him and said: "Of course there is the most difficult problem of the Joker, but that is not a problem."

Peter turned his head and looked at the place where the Joker illusion appeared in Batman's field of vision with his sensitive spider sense, and then said: "I have a way to get magic energy to revive you, but no one can predict magic."

"Maybe in your experiment, in any Joker virus infected person You are still you after resurrection in the body, but if a new body is resurrected as the Joker, and it is resurrected by magic, will the new Joker still be you? "

"Maybe we will have two Jokers." Peter sighed and said, "Although you are in Batman's body, you can only watch other Jokers and Batman play games."

"Or... you make Batman not want to play games."

The voice from Professor Schiller that rang in Peter's ears overlapped with Peter's voice. Obviously, only the Joker who understands Batman best can put a perfect end to this test paper.

Peter stared at the Joker in the void and repeated Professor Schiller's low tone.

"You may have discovered that Batman has changed a lot without you paying attention to him, and it is a profound and fundamental change."

"Where does this change come from?"

This question almost immediately attracted the attention of several people present, even Batman himself.

"A father lost his child." Peter lowered his shoulders and said in a slightly sad tone: "This is a great misfortune for any emotional creature."

"And this tragedy was not comforted and redeemed in time." Peter looked at Jason and said: "Every street, every house, every time he saw the empty surveillance screen, it was like a knife of disappointment, carving a scar on his soul."

"During this year, his soul was completely chopped up and then reassembled. The one who survived was still Batman, but he was a completely new him."

"It was you, the Joker, who made all this happen, but you are just a despicable supporting role in this story. It was not the disaster you caused that shaped the new Batman, but his own family affection and love."

"It was his strong family affection for Jason that made him chopped by the sharp blade of guilt he had sharpened himself, and it was also his hope that Jason was still alive that made him reshape himself with his great love."

Batman felt that he was strangled by these words.

Then the things in those words wanted to break out of this cold and stiff body, and he never thought that one day he would know that he would shed blood and tears, but he would be happy and feel warm.

Batman unconsciously opened the door of the cage in front of Jason, and this time he just looked at him as a wounded child and picked him up from the ground.

Peter behind Batman looked at the nothingness in front of him, he seemed to really see the Joker, and saw his unbelievable and crazy expression.

Then Spider-Man spoke his mind without Schiller's guidance.

"In this near-desperate disaster, Batman will have a deeper understanding of how such strong family affection and great love occupy an important position in his life."

"The lost and recovered Batman will understand what he must not lose, and thus let go of the trivialities like you and the two of them, abandon you and forget you."

"He is the real protagonist of the greatest comedy in Batman's life. In the past, present, and future, you may never be able to direct a play that makes him happier than now."

Batman heard the Joker's furious scolding behind him, and he didn't even think about turning his head.

And when the drop of moisture on Jason's face finally fell on the back of his hand, it was dawn.

The world has restored its colorful colors, leaving only a few fireless ashes and the stubborn bones left after the fire of karma has burned out.

There is a father and a son. Without the emotional gap that needs to be filled, there is no Joker who sneers in the void.

There is a knight, and there is another knight. Without the windmill giant that can never be found, there will be no treacherous and evil jesters on the absurd stage.

It's dawn.

Yawn, good night
