Chapter 376 Tim Has Retired, but Batman Is Still Working Overtime (the Author Is Also at Work QwQ)

After Batman left, Alfred turned his head and whispered to the dark corner of the Batcave: "Tim, Tim? Why didn't you come out in the end? Didn't you say that you would ask Batman to allow you to return to the front line of the battle in person?"

The old butler whispered: "Didn't you say that you would temporarily take charge of Gotham instead of Dick (Nightwing) who was out on business?"

As the old butler called, the third-generation Robin Tim Drake slowly came out from behind the stairs with a complicated expression. As Robin, he perfectly inherited the fine tradition of the Bat Family's sudden appearance. If Alfred hadn't taken the initiative to speak, no one would have thought that there was a living person squatting in that shadow, especially when he was wearing the red and green alternating, colorful Robin uniform.

However, Tim knew that Batman must have seen through his position... When the other party left the Batcave, he was waiting for him to come out, but he didn't move, but let the other party leave.

Facing the old butler's question, Tim walked to the side of the Batcomputer with some disappointment, and then sat in Batman's chair.

"Nothing, Alfred. I just suddenly felt that Batman's arrangement seemed to be fine."

"Killer Croc is also an old man who has been in Gotham for many years. Although he did a lot of messy things when he was not clear-headed in the past, these have gone away with the government's amnesty. Now Batman sent him back to Gotham to deal with those ordinary criminals and gangs. In addition, Mr. Freeze and Penguin actively maintain the balance of Gotham. I think unless the Joker or the Riddler comes back, Killer Croc can be fully competent."

"How is Harvey (Two-Face)?" The old butler asked casually.

"He is in a mental hospital again. He is the most split among all people. After Gotham has not been as chaotic as before for a long time, Harvey's kind personality seems to be recovering. Although he still always gets the option of slapping himself, he is not as crazy as before."

Even if he is unemployed, Tim's understanding of Gotham is far more profound than Alfred who has been staying in the Batcave. Robin, who has the strongest detective skills, has a meticulous thinking beyond ordinary people in many things.

"Then for Killer Croc..."

"Batman was right to assign me to Killer Croc as a consultant." Tim said gloomily, "Although I admit that Killer Croc has begun to have some brains, I still think that little brain is the difference between third-level mental retardation and first-level mental retardation."

Alfred originally wanted to say that Killer Croc was a beast that could not communicate before, but now at least he is an adult with normal IQ, but soon thought that with Tim's brain, Killer Croc was no different in front of him than in the past, so he kept silent.

But he still had a question in his mind. For a long time, Tim had been clamoring to restart his Robin career, while Batman had been busy with other affairs. Even after several meetings, he flatly rejected it and asked him to go back to study hard.

But Tim still. He never tired of asking Batman for help, and even Dick caught him secretly going out on the street several times. Even Alfred stopped him from going out to fight criminals against Batman's orders several times.

This time Batman was right in front of him, why did Tim give up so much and not rush up to try to snatch the job from Killer Croc?

Tim could guess what the old butler was thinking without looking at Alfred's expression. He was very grateful that the old butler did not ask directly, but left a certain space for both of them. Alfred had his own sense of distance. He was not the kind of controlling elder who would break the casserole and ask questions no matter what the younger generation did.

Tim did not take the initiative to ask, so Alfred kept silent. But after thinking about it, Tim took the initiative to say:

"Alfred, you should know how I became Robin."

"In order to let Bruce get out of Jason's affairs." Alfred said: "You are really good, Tim. Just based on Dick's action, you can infer the identities of Batman and Nightwing."

"Batman needs a Robin. Because Batman has been exposed to those dirty and dark things. Although he pretends to be a god, he is a mortal after all. He will be tired, he will be desperate. No matter how unbeatable he looks, we all know that it is just an illusion left to outsiders."

Tim said: "This is why I became Robin. I am determined to become the one who ties the bat I never deny that I am Jason's substitute, and Batman also needs such a substitute. Batman always has a self-destructive characteristic, so he needs Robin and me. "

Tim looked at me leisurely:

"I still remember what Batman once said to me..."

"'You are different from Dick who firmly believes that he has chosen the right path in life... Dick regards being Robin as the meaning of his life, so when he finds another meaning, he will give up the identity of Robin without any regrets;

But for Jason, he regards Robin as a game, which is probably the cause of his death. Being Robin was never Jason's first choice, but the direction he imitated others.

And you are the same, you see being Robin as a job that requires wearing a mask. In this respect, you and Jason are very similar to a certain extent. Of course, you will never admit this.

I never thought that death would really come until the moment when Jason died. This is the problem with teaming up with adults and believing with your life that [there is no fear with a partner watching over you].

Until you feel careless and feel safe, and the truth is that once you make a small mistake, you will never be at peace. '"

"I accepted Batman's warning. I have always treated this job with caution. I used to... I used to think that Batman would always need me to tie him down and prevent him from self-destruction."

"But now..."

Tim smiled reluctantly:

"Batman seems to have no intention of self-destruction anymore. Then the meaning of my existence... seems to be gone."

He said: "Maybe it's time for me to retire."

...

...

"Batman never intended to save Planet OA, Lord Sinestro. "

Below, countless Yellow Lanterns continued to attack Oa. This was the 10th charge organized by the Yellow Lantern Corps in the past few days. The defense of Oa was slowly being eroded by them, and it was only a matter of time before it was completely breached.

At this time, Sinestro was listening to the report of one of his men, but there was no one around, and the voice came from his ring.

"Well done, Disporis. "Sinestro said.

He called out the other person's name.

Despotellis is one of the many Yellow Lanterns he recruited in the universe, and is likely the most deadly one, because he is a virus, a living virus.

Despotellis was born on the planet Khondra in the 119th sector of the universe. Scientists here want to develop a new virus as a biological weapon. They keep iterating the virus, and the super virus Despotellis that is finally produced actually has its own feelings. It began to kill people on the planet Khondra, killing the entire planet's residents. For this reason, a yellow lantern chose it.

"Are you sure Batman didn't find you?" Sinestro asked, "His nanorobots can also enter the microscopic field. I ask you to make sure you are completely undetected by his robots."

"Of course, Lord Sinestro." The Super Virus Lantern replied respectfully:

"Han Nu's body is very large, enough for me to hide. In terms of understanding biological structure, neither he nor Batman knows better than me. They didn't find out that I was hiding in his body. In order to prevent any mistakes, I never spread my virus to anyone, nor did I do anything extra except monitoring. "

"Batman really thinks that saving OA looks like a trap to lure the tiger away from the mountain, just as you expected. The two previous traps to OA really scared Batman and made him worry whether we are repeating the same trick again."

Super Virus said: "He fell into the paradox of luring the tiger away from the mountain and dared not leave the earth at all."

"This bought us time. "

Sinestro looked down and saw that on the battlefield below, Mongo had twisted the neck of a Green Lantern who rushed towards him, as easily as breaking a stick of firewood. There were almost no Green Lanterns who could stand up to Mongo.

Beside him, the eyes of the super girl Kara shot out red light, and the red light energy like blood-red flames burst out from her body. She was wearing a yellow light ring on her left hand. The red and yellow colors alternated on her body, making the super girl's brain tremble.

The little girl jumped up without thinking, then pounced on an unlucky Lantern and bit him, biting other Green Lanterns like a crazy woman and making them cry for their parents.

Mongo's power was a little too strong. He had won over a large number of Yellow Lanterns and had already created a small hill within the Sinestro Corps.

Sinestro looked at him, and the murderous intent in his eyes flickered. When Mongo saw him, his eyes were filled with Sinestro knew all the murderous intent and malice that were revealed. That's why he kept Amon Su guarding the door of his wife's prison to protect her.

In this matter, he only dared to trust people with blood relations.

Although Sinestro knew that he could easily defeat every Yellow Lantern by controlling the other party's Yellow Lantern Ring, this control must be face to face. He never wanted to make him regret for the rest of his life, and he never wanted Alin Su to become a handle to threaten him.

He still needed Mongo's force for the time being, as for the rest... I'll talk about it later.

Not far away, Aqi Luo, with a long face and fangs, was the third person who performed brilliantly. He was an instructor of the Yellow Lantern Corps and grew up in the most dangerous jungle on the planet Christyr.

He was extremely strong and used his power to rule the weaker races on the planet and feed on them.

Archiro was one of the first members to join the Sinestro Corps. To some extent, he was a smaller Mongo, who believed in the law of the jungle and always wanted to defeat the strong.

Sinestro knew that the other party was also not a good person. If Mongo was not more dangerous, Archiro would be the one trying to usurp the throne.

They were all a bunch of traitors... But Sinestro knew that this was the price of employing criminals. He no longer had the opportunity to recruit some kind-hearted subordinates with clean backgrounds, so he could only do this.

When he had the chance, he would definitely clean up the Sinestro Corps. In Sinestro's hope, his Yellow Lantern Corps would be the police who needed to replace the Green Lantern Corps to maintain the order of the universe, and the police obviously could not be the villains he had recruited.

Therefore, for Sinestro, the people who were fighting below were just cannon fodder that could be consumed and replenished at any time, without any value, while Mongo and Archiro were enemies that needed to be targeted at any time. When the Sinestro Corps that truly maintained the order of the universe was born, they would all be the targets of liquidation.

But I still need some time, some time...

Sinestro thought so.

As long as Batman is tricked into not daring to move on Earth, I will be in time...

Sinestro was lost in thought and shook his head slightly. He felt a little pity after all.

In fact, for Sinestro, it would be more beneficial for him if Batman really believed Han Nu's words and really went to rescue the Green Lanterns trapped on the planet Kovader.

He set a trap there and exiled the entire attacking Green Lantern Corps to the Phantom Zone, where the Kryptonians once exiled criminals, and it was almost a graveyard where there was no return.

As long as Batman was exiled there, at least for a long time, he would not have to worry about the other party interfering with his actions.

But unfortunately Batman did not fall for it, which was also within Sinestro's expectations. Or to put it another way, if Batman really rashly broke into his trap, he would be surprised.

But now, although Batman did not really step in foolishly, Sinestro's purpose of delaying time was achieved.

As long as he has enough time...

"Bane..."

Earth.

"We are about to set off to meet the Crime Syndicate, about the Black of Decay..."

Bane heard Batman's voice: "You are a true expert on the Black of Decay. I need your help again."

"We are leaving Earth, this matter is very complicated, and no mistakes can be made."

...

...

...

Sinestro's War Fortress.

Mungo looked at the black energy of the Black of Decay in front of him, with malicious light flashing in his eyes...

"I will have... new power!"
