Chapter 266 Where Will the Dream Go (Part 2)

Selina picked up her bag and got out of the car. She turned back and blew Bruce a kiss and said, "Thank you, baby. I had a great time. I'm going back to pack my luggage. See you tomorrow afternoon!"

Bruce turned sideways, stretched out one of his hands, and pushed open the door on Selina's side. Selina understood what he meant, walked back, leaned forward, and then leaned into Bruce's arms and kissed his cheek.

Then she left quickly. Bruce touched the place on his cheek that Selina had just kissed and sighed. He thought that he was really a little obsessed.

If someone had told him a year ago that he would spend a few days driving around along the East Coast, he would definitely feel more uncomfortable than being in prison. But who knew that love was so unreasonable. When Selina said that she had a great time, Bruce's guilt for wasting time was swept away.

Of course, since the vacation was over, he had to return to his original life. Bruce slowly started the car and drove back to Wayne Manor. When it was completely dark, he drove the Batmobile and wore the Batsuit and left the manor, intending to continue to improve his Batcave.

After so long, the Batcave has been basically built, but there are still some light equipment that has not been put in. The Batmobile roared on the streets of Gotham at night, but as soon as he passed an intersection, he felt a strong beam of light shining in his eyes. He couldn't help but squint his eyes and look at the intersection on his right, where a huge truck was parked.

The strong light was the high beam of the truck. The two lights flashed for a while. When the light went out, Batman saw the scary smile on the driver's seat of the truck.

His intuition began to frantically alarm, and Batman stepped on the accelerator, but it was too late. The huge truck had rushed in front of him. Batman slapped the button in front of him, and in an instant, the seat ejected. When he landed, he rolled twice on the ground and then stood up.

The heavy truck hit the Batmobile, and the Batmobile was lifted up. When it landed, fragments of the windshield and roof parts flew out. Then, the front of the giant truck exploded, and the flames of the explosion were like a group of fireworks blooming on the dark road.

"Welcome home, Batman, hahahahahaha!!!"

A series of shrill laughter came from the night, and Batman squinted his eyes and saw the figure.

Just like a fateful duel, they faced each other in Gotham in the dark, and the man with clown makeup on the opposite side had no weapons in his hands and looked weak.

But Batman's heart beat faster and faster, and blood rushed to his head. He didn't know whether he was afraid or excited.

"Did you have a good time during your vacation, Batman?"

The Joker looked into Batman's eyes and said, with a smile on his face, as if expecting a positive answer, but soon he made a sad expression and said, "But I am not happy, Batman, you know? Do you know what I have been through recently?!"

"I was taken to the hospital by a crazy psychiatrist! He conducted his terrible dream experiment, and I was thrown into the deep consciousness space by him, and then faced a terrible monster!!"

Suddenly, he stopped, and turned to look at the truck explosion. He screamed, opened his eye sockets with his fingers, and then slid four fingers down from his eyelids, making a horrified expression and said: "Oh my God, what did I see?!"

He ran over quickly and began to search hard in the wreckage of the explosion. Suddenly, he found a piece of tire fragment that was not completely burnt. He hugged the fragment and said: "My tire lady, she is dead. When you were away, she was with me..."

Batman stood there and watched the Joker perform. He said nothing, but turned his mouth down.

It started to rain in Gotham, and soon it turned into a downpour. Lightning began to flash across the sky, and the rain hit the wreckage in the middle of the road, spreading the smell of burning farther and farther.

At this time, the Joker stood up. He stood in the rain, without armor, cape, or weapons, alone, like a thin and pale ghost.

The rain made the makeup on his face start to fade, as if his entire skin was dissolved, but he still had that crazy smile on his face and said to Batman: "You think I'm an annoying lunatic, right?"

"I always pop up from all kinds of places, causing you a lot of trouble, dragging you to watch some performances you don't like to watch and don't understand, saying some crazy things you don't want to listen to and don't understand..."

"But, Batman, I will make you understand..."

The smile on his face became more and more crazy, and in this terrible expression and action, after the absurd and bizarre sense of humor faded, only the real danger and madness remained.

He took out a button from his pocket and said to Batman: "Have you made an important decision in your life? The kind of decision that can change the path of your life?"

"I just made such a decision."

"I made a bet with someone, Batman..."

"I bet you won't let me down, so now..."

The Joker looked directly at Batman through the layers of rain and said to him: "...The game has begun."

The button was pressed, and there was a loud "bang". Batman turned his head and saw a fierce fire rising from somewhere in the city.

When the button fell to the ground, it splashed a tiny splash of water. When the waves calmed down, only the Joker's crazy smile was left, and Batman had disappeared.

The next night, it was also cold and heavy rain, accompanied by sharp alarms. A huge bat light lit up in the sky above Gotham. Gordon took the phone and said to the other end: "Hurry up and let the negotiation expert go up! What on earth is that madman going to do?"

He stood in front of the French window of the office and looked at the roof of the building not far away. There was only one standing figure there, but there were many ropes hanging on the side of the building, all of which were tied with people.

The Joker's face looked even more terrifying in the rain. He held the camera and said, "Do you know? Just yesterday, I was in the underground passages of the twelve main streets of Gotham and asked all the homeless people who they hated the most? I asked them who they thought caused their miserable lives now..."

"Many people complained to me about various things. Their boss fired them, their landlord kicked them out, convenience stores and restaurants didn't provide them with free food, yes, yes, all kinds of things like this..."

"And I! Hero Jack! I'm sorry for their miserable experiences. Crying, so, hahahahahahahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahaha! "In the camera, the clown walked to the edge of the roof in the pouring rain, and then pulled out a dagger and shoved the dagger on the rope. The tied person in the suit and leather shot looked like an elite staff. Don't! His spirit had completely collapsed, and he couldn't even say a complete sentence.

This made the Joker feel very bored, so he waved his dagger and cut the rope. The employee fell from a building of more than 30 floors, and then fell to the ground and turned into a pool of meat.

Before the police and negotiation experts on the ground could make any move, the ropes and people fell densely like heavy rain from the sky. Standing on the ground, one could only see their desperate expressions before they died.

Not long after the bat light was turned on, a second figure appeared on the roof, and that was Batman.

Just as everyone expected, a dark figure stood opposite the Joker.

I don't know what they said, the two wrestled together, and the whole world was filled with rain and thunder.

The fight between the two was more like a pantomime performance, and a not exciting and even somewhat funny rivalry unfolded.

In the end, the Joker was knocked to the ground and his arms were tied, but Batman's shoulder was also cut, and the blood was washed down by the rain.

The Joker lying on the ground was still smiling. He said, "Batman, you won, but do you think this is what everyone expected to see?"

"Even if you are the hero of all the remaining people in Gotham, you are definitely not the hero of those homeless people, because they almost saw their enemies falling from the tall building, and then smashed into a pulp, and got a more tragic ending than them!"

"You will never be a hero, hahahahahahahaha, the innocent people you saved may be the ones that others dream of killing, do you think they will hate you? Hahahahahaha!!"

After the Joker was taken away, Batman walked through the street alone, got into the car, started the car, and drove into the endless dark rainy night of Gotham.

He was not shaken by those crazy words, he just spent too much energy.

He did not choose to go back to Wayne Manor directly, but drove to the Batcave, and then treated his wounds, just like usual, first with spray, then bandaged, and when all this was done, he dealt with all the blood-stained clothes, changed into a new set, and then drove back to Wayne Manor.

Wayne Manor was still brightly lit. Alfred stood at the door to greet him. Seeing his pale face, Alfred said to him, "Master, you need some hot drinks. How about a cup of hot chocolate?"

"Thank you, Alfred."

He did not refuse, but walked to the sofa and sat down. When Alfred brought the hot chocolate over, he instinctively wanted to take it with his dominant hand, but it affected his wound. The moment he paused, he immediately changed to the other hand to take the cup.

But he knew that Alfred had discovered this. Although his housekeeper said nothing, he still sent him upstairs to the bedroom as usual.

A deep fatigue surrounded him. He walked to the sink in the washroom and looked in the mirror. He was pale and expressionless, but somehow, that crazy smile appeared in his heart and in his eyes, and then reflected in the mirror. He seemed to see himself smiling.

He shook his head, suppressed those messy thoughts, and walked out of the bathroom.

His finger stopped on the switch of the table lamp, but he hesitated for a moment and still didn't press it. Just like that, he lay on the bed without turning off the light, and then slowly fell asleep in a tired look.

The slight breathing sound echoed in the room, the night was getting darker, and the rain was getting heavier.

The whole room was filled with soft light. Whether it was the bed, the wall or the carpet, it reflected a thin halo of light, and the darkness seemed to be invisible.

As a flash of lightning passed, a scarlet mouth slowly revealed a crazy smile in the darkest corner under the bed.
