Chapter 2506: Battle for the Cloak (36)
Chapter 2480: The Battle for the Cape (Thirty-Six)
Spider-Man's words brought back many bad memories for Jason, such as the night when Spider-Man almost destroyed Gotham twice, ran up to him and provoked him, then escaped unscathed, and still talked nonsense in front of Batman.
Spider-Man even said that someone bullied him at school. Please, who bullied whom at that time? I have a grudge against Batman, so I returned as Arkham Knight to seek revenge, but you jumped out and said, "Who is Batman's favorite Robin now?"
You said you are not good at speaking, but who was the one who was talking nonsense in front of Batman and putting all the blame on Batman?
Of course, Jason could see that the little spider in front of him was not the same person as the Spider-Man at that time, but at least in terms of strength, how could Spider-Man be weak?
Spider-Man didn't seem to know how to explain it either. He could only sigh and say, "Well, people like you won't understand. It's not a good idea to stay here all the time. I think we can go out for a walk on the street."
"What are we going to do?" Jason asked.
"First, my bathtub duck exploded. I have to buy a new one. I can't take a bath without a duck. Secondly, you said that the guy chasing you hasn't given up yet, so let's try to lure him out."
Jason also felt a little confused. He looked around the bedroom and said, "It's strange. Why didn't he chase here?"
"Come on, there's no place for him here." Spider-Man said self-deprecatingly, "Let alone a whole hand with a dagger, he can't even put a finger in now."
Jason couldn't refute it, because the whole bedroom was indeed a little too full now, just like trying to stuff an eagle into a sparrow's nest. He also had a sore neck staying here.
There was no other choice, so Jason climbed out of the window and waited on the balcony. Spider-Man didn't change his uniform, but just put on a coat and slipped out of the balcony with him.
The two walked on the street and found that this place was so real that it didn't look like a dream. All the streets and windows were filled with suitable goods, and the lawns, shrubs and trees were all normal. It didn't look like a monster was about to jump out at any time.
"What's going on?" Jason asked Spider-Man.
"What's going on?"
"You said I don't understand or something."
"Oh, that." Spider-Man sighed and said, "I mean, I've always been a poor kid, a nerd and a punching bag in the eyes of my classmates. I've lived like this for more than ten years, from elementary school to middle school."
"Yeah, so what? Didn't you get a very powerful spider power?"
"But I survived without this power. Do you expect me to become someone like Thompson as soon as I get the power? How is that possible?"
Jason seemed to understand a little bit, and he said, "So you're still used to living like before."
"Not used to, but I can only live like this." Spider-Man spread his hands and said, "Otherwise, use the new one "Why not?" "Of course not." Spider-Man raised his voice and said, "Let's not talk about hitting people first. I beat him up, and then what?" "Then you will feel relieved?" "But my parents will be called, and I may be expelled. Even if I become a popular person, wouldn't I be the second Thompson? I can only show off and threaten others with violence. That's too annoying. I don't want to become like this." Jason opened his mouth but was speechless. This is indeed the truth. As a victim, Peter should know best how annoying people like Thompson are. If he beats Thompson directly after gaining power, he will become a person like Thompson. "So you're going to keep going like this? Keep being a poor little punching bag?"
"Of course not." Spider-Man said, "If he wants to continue bullying me, I'll run away. I didn't run away before because I couldn't run away, but now I can leave him far behind, even if his nickname is 'Lightning'."
"Then you don't plan to do something to teach him a lesson?"
"He will learn a lesson." Spider-Man said, "You don't think he can live his whole life by swinging his fists? This society doesn't work like this. Maybe it works in school, maybe it works for a while, but there will always be someone who lets him know how powerful he is, and even at that time, it won't be solved by him getting beaten up."
Jason felt that what Spider-Man said made sense, but he would occasionally have hallucinations of himself in the gaps between words.
He was also a poor little thing at the beginning. It's not that he really became Batman No. 2 after being picked up by Batman, so powerful and smart. In fact, compared with the criminals he dealt with, he was a real weakling.
And his situation is much worse than Spider-Man. No matter how arrogant Thompson is, he dare not kill Peter, but the criminals he faces want to kill him. Didn't the Joker kidnap him and torture him?
So he wants revenge, which is natural and appropriate. He is not a saint, so why can't he take extreme measures to take revenge?
According to Spider-Man's theory, he would become the person he hated the most by using criminal means to take revenge, but so what? Jason would have thought so in the past.
But later, yes, Jason met Schiller later, and he found that criminals were also divided into levels.
In that small room, under the dim light, when Schiller pointed at the unconscious Joker lying on the operating table and asked Jason to cut him open, Jason deeply realized that he was not as extreme as he imagined, and this way of revenge was too advanced for Arkham Knight.
So this made Jason start to think from another perspective. He didn't care about becoming the person he hated the most, so what about Batman?
Batman certainly hated criminals. If he became a criminal, would Batman hate him too? Of course, Jason felt that Batman didn't like him, so it didn't matter if he hated him a little more.
But Jason always thought of Batman's past. The brutal criminal killed his parents. From then on, this criminal became synonymous with criminals in Batman's eyes. Do you want to become such a criminal?
Jason felt sick and wanted to vomit when he thought about being classified as the same person as the criminal who killed Batman's parents.
Of course he had legitimate reasons, but what if the criminal also had them?
Jason didn't dare to think further. If he took a step forward, he would be like Schiller, and if he took a step back, he would be like the murderer who killed Batman's parents. From this point of view, being a criminal was a dead end.
Spider-Man's words made Jason start to recall how he lived when he was not a criminal, just like how Spider-Man lived when he didn't have spider power.
Jason asked this question, and Spider-Man really thought about it seriously, and then answered him: "Just make do with it. He can't kill me. If you can hide, hide. If you can't hide, just get beaten. Life has to go on."
"Have you ever thought about resisting?"
"I resisted, but I couldn't beat him." Spider-Man sighed and said, "I don't want to cause trouble to my uncle and aunt, so I study hard and am better than them in at least one aspect."
Jason felt that Spider-Man was very similar to himself when he was a child. Unfortunately, he was born in this city. As a child, he couldn't run away, so he could only wander the streets. He worked hard to learn a skill, but in the end, wasn't he picked up by Batman? Just like Spider-Man finally got the spider power.
Jason wanted to ask what happened to Spider-Man Thompson, whom he met that night before, but Jason could actually think that he would either become mature or be destroyed, and such a person would definitely be taught a lesson.
So what happened to the Joker later? Jason thought about it, and in fact, for the Joker, being put on the operating table for dissection was not a big problem.
The biggest problem now is that someone rushed into this universe, claiming that he killed Batman and beat Batman all over his body. Robin and others were busy fighting back.
The two sides were fighting lively. Although I had mental problems and couldn't participate, the Joker didn't participate either!
I don't like to join in the fun, and it's fine to lie in bed, but the Joker is not. Just the fact that someone claimed to have killed Batman is no different from hitting the Joker in the face.
Where is the Joker? Where are you? You are not in Gotham at all!
Jason remembered that there was no Joker in his universe. Schiller used some technical means to remove the Joker virus in Henry's body. Although there are still some viruses in the blood, as long as Arkham Batman doesn't act as Batman, these viruses will not turn Henry into the Joker.
In other words, the Joker is dead.
So how did the Joker die? Was it because of Schiller? Why did Schiller come? Was it because of Peter? Why did Peter come? Was it because Batman was short of people? How could Batman be short of people? Is it because Jason became the Arkham Knight, not helping but opposing, then how did Jason become the Arkham Knight? Because he was kidnapped by the Joker, didn't the Joker deserve it?
In a sense, isn't this also like Thompson, learning a lesson from some natural social rules?
So, this idea of expecting the perpetrator to learn a lesson is not completely aimless... What about Batman?
Jason already knew what the Joker's kidnapping was, what he really cared about was that Batman immediately found a new love after he disappeared, why didn't Batman learn a lesson?
Jason completely forgot that he had blocked Batman in the hotel room, which can be said to have completely broken Batman's patriarchal authority. He is now thinking carefully about what lesson Batman has learned.
"Hey, we're here." Spider-Man called Jason and pointed to the window next to him and said, "Look at that little duck, it's dressed up for Christmas, isn't it pretty?"
The two of them came to the window and looked at the rows of little ducks. Jason looked at the yellow duck dressed up for Christmas with some disdain, but pointed to the side and said, "I think that one is better."
"Are you serious? How long has Halloween been over? Oh, I see. You like that bat, right? But I only have enough money to buy one, so I think this one is better."
As they talked, they walked into the store. The moment they walked in, they were both stunned.
"Batman???"
Jason and Spider-Man shouted in unison.
Hongya Cave is so beautiful! ! (It’s so crowded)
