Chapter 3281 Bloody New City (IV)
Chapter 3255 Bloody New City (IV)
The night in Gotham was particularly bleak and deserted, with not a single ghost on the street, especially the streets near Wayne Manor. The dead trees that had just lost their leaves cast multiple shadows on the ground under different light, which was actually the most lively scene on this street.
A black stretched car stopped at the gate of the manor, and the shiny leather shoes stepped on the fallen leaves, making a dry sound. A thin figure stood in front of the metal gate with Gothic patterns, with a momentum of one man standing against ten thousand men.
The manor was no longer the brightly lit scene of the past. There were only two lights on in the huge living room. Batman, who had just finished taking a shower and was wiping his hair with a towel, stood in one light, but the water droplets on his hair echoed the light in another place.
Ding Dong!
When the doorbell rang, Batman seemed to be in another world. He seemed to see the old figure standing at the door again, saying to him in a slightly complaining tone, who would visit at this time?
But no, there was no such person.
Batman wiped his hair twice and threw the towel aside. He pushed open the door of the manor. The cold wind in the yard made him shiver, but when he saw who was standing at his door, he felt even colder.
Batman walked to the front door and looked at the pale knight across the metal door with complicated patterns.
"Why are you here?"
The pale knight did not answer, but looked at Batman. It seemed that he didn't want to play Bruce Wayne anymore, or he might have been unable to play it.
Since the death of his old butler Alfred, he has become a real lonely ghost. At this moment, the pale knight really began to doubt whether he should refuse Nightwing to join the anti-terrorist team as Batman wished. After all, the Joker once took away his first child, and he didn't want to take away the second one.
Feeling a little guilty, the White Knight felt that it was even harder to say what he wanted to say next, but thinking of what was happening in the city government at the moment, he could only bite the bullet and speak.
"Batman, I need your help, I..."
"Does the powerful White Knight also need my help?" Batman asked, and his words could be called mean.
The White Knight didn't care about his attitude, he just said: "Then let me put it another way, Gotham needs your help."
Batman remained silent.
"I have already apologized to you for framing you because I didn't know your true identity. I know that you don't have to forgive me for my apology, but since I am doing this for Gotham, you can always give me a chance to talk to you."
The White Knight lowered his posture as much as possible. He knew that the current Batman could not stand any stimulation, because he himself had experienced the pain of collapse, and he did not want to impose this pain on anyone, which was the cruelest thing in the world.
He stepped forward and grabbed the railing of the gate, then said: "I asked my friends for help. They gave me hope to improve the current situation, but this requires your cooperation, but you don't need to make any sacrifices. We just..."
With a click, the gate was opened. Batman said nothing and turned to walk into the manor. The Pale Knight stood outside the gate and looked at his back, feeling desolate in his heart.
If he couldn't lift a flying bird and let it fly freely, he would never be one of the fingers that broke its wings. It was a pity that he had done so when the bird cried in pain because of the loss of its relatives, and he was the most ruthless one.
But who didn't have expectations and wanted to be a pure hero?
The Pale Knight took a deep breath, put away the sentimentality in his heart, strode into the manor, and was startled by the dark environment.
He instinctively fumbled for the switch, but then remembered Schiller's advice that people with unstable mental state were afraid of light stimulation, and he should really pay more attention to such details.
The Pale Knight withdrew his hand and concentrated his attention to let his eyes quickly adapt to the dark environment. He moved to the sofa very carefully and sat down gropingly.
Batman picked up the towel and began to wipe his hair. He sat on the sofa opposite in silence. After a while, he said: "Harley is out of danger, but she needs to rest."
"Okay, I know, I don't have time to see her for the time being... I'm not here to say this."
The Pale Knight paused for a moment, without getting a response from Batman, and was not sure whether he agreed to speak first or just resisted communication. Out of caution, he still spoke more tactfully.
"What I'm about to say may be quite shocking. It doesn't matter if you don't agree." The White Knight added in his mind, "If you don't agree, the guy named Schiller will definitely find a way to make you agree."
"And I will pray from that moment on that the whole thing has nothing to do with the nuclear power plant, Amen."
"In about two days, the city government will usher in the largest strike, all departments will be shut down, the entire municipal system will be stagnant, and in about two weeks, the Gotham City Government will enter bankruptcy proceedings."
Looking at Batman's obviously frozen movements, the White Knight sighed in his mind and said that mental patients should not be stimulated.
"What do you want to do?" After about a few dozen seconds, Batman still asked.
"This is not my idea." The Palm Knight made himself not shiring his responsibility as much as possible. He said, "One of my friends is called a‘ stove ’.”
"I hope you are not talking about the kitchen -related snacks."
Batman's attitude is still not very good, but the pale knight understands him completely. If he spends so much energy and invests so much money to save a city, he is also hated by more than 80%of the people in the city and sent them into them. In the face of the culprit, he will also be this attitude.
The pale knight shook his head gently and said, "Whether the municipal government runs smoothly and whether I can successfully improve the situation of the city is not directly related. However, after the municipal government stops, I need to have a safe place to continue the office. "
"You can rent a house."
"I'm sorry, but I can't rent it." The pale Knight lowered his eyes and said, "You may not believe it. After my investigation, I am the poorest person among the entire city government. , Can't afford the rent of any house. "
"Do you want me to provide you with a residence?"
"I know you have a lot of secret strongholds, but I don't consider those places, because it can play a greater role, not exposed in my hands."
"Then you want to borrow money?"
"I have 2,000 yuan or 20 million yuan in my hand, because even if there are 20 million, it can't solve the problem. Two billion yuan may not be. You still have some money in your hand, but this money is not yours. Depending on the action I take next.
"What do you want to do?" Batman was a little impatient.
The pale knight pursed his lips tightly. He always was a person who didn't like to go around. He would go around such a big circle because what he really wanted to say was really difficult to speak.
"I hope to be able to borrow Wayne Manor as my next office." The pale knight decided to have a long pain than short pain.
"What?" Batman's performance was obviously suspecting that he had heard wrong.
But it doesn't matter, Cang Palm thought, because when he first heard this sentence, he felt wrong.
There is no wrong one, one time, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one by one!
He swallowed and said, "I hope to work in Wayne Manor."
Batman was silent, and he didn't even rub his hair.
"Did you not take medicine on time recently?" Batman asked.
"Fortunately." The pale knight showed a bitter smile. He said, "The only good news is that the clown will not say this to you."
Batman is speechless.
"You mean you have sent a new crazy?"
This time it was the pale knight speechless.
"I'm sorry, but this is a part of our plan. I hope to turn the Wayne Manor into my next office."
"So me?"
"I don't want to drive away you, you can stay, I don't plan to hide what happened to you, but if you really feel annoying, then you can leave."
Batman was silent again, and things seemed to have entered a stage where he couldn't even make a joke.
"Why do you think I agree?" Batman asked, and he seemed to be looking for nothing.
"Do you want to hear the truth?" The pale knight's fingers kept rubbing their knees. He knew that he was working very hard to make himself look not robbery.
Batman nodded.
"We are not asking your consent." The Palm Knight swallowed a saliva again, and then said, "If you have viewed the monitoring camera arranged in the municipal government, you will see a person who is almost exactly the same as you go in and enter into it. My office, that is another Batman of the universe, now the pseudonym Nawei. "
"So? Do you think he can replace me?" Batman's tone became sharp. He said, "Your purpose is to change another Batman?"
"No." The Palm Knight was very rare to justify. He just said, "I just can't stop him with a few words of talking about you like you. You shouldn't you want to see himself to talk about rap?"
Batman's silence became weird.
"I definitely don't threaten you, but he can really do it, and your advanced face and fingerprint recognition system can't stop him. He has already got a set of your bat. If you don’t want to be on the news on the news Seeing the lunatics in Batman and Akham Crazy House, you're better to consider my proposal seriously. "
Watching Batman said nothing, the pale knight had to say, "In his universe, Alfred is still alive."
Batman's hand tightened instantly.
"Just as you imagined, the appearance and personality of the same people between the two universe are the same, but the Alfred of his universe is happier, no disease, no loneliness, and the biggest. The trouble is that the little princess of the Wayne family refuses to go to school. "
Batman slowly closed his eyes, as if he could see the old housekeeper of another world, and the pale knight began to be sad, but he knew that he was not expressing sadness now.
"From the perspective of thousands of parallel universe, our Gotham has no special aspect. It is very ordinary and small, but it has also been highly hoped for many people like us. , So that everyone gave up the idea of letting go. "
“But I don’t think that if you are not special enough, you should accept being ordinary, let alone going along with the crowd. This is not right no matter which universe or principle you put it into.”
“Even if it is a last-ditch struggle, someone has to do it. We have already done all the methods and things we can think of. Since the situation has not improved, we can only hope that this last absurd path can bring some changes.”
“If it doesn’t work, then at least we are also absurd heroes like Don Quixote—not orthodox lunatics like the Joker.”
