I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Bain shook his head and immediately refused: "No, I can manage on my own. If you come with me, the chances of us being discovered will be much higher."

"So we'll just wait here?" the zombie asked.

Bain laughed and said, "I think you can buy some champagne and food, and when I return in triumph, we'll have a celebration banquet!"

"No problem, I'll buy the most expensive champagne and gourmet food in the city to welcome you back!"

At the entrance of Wayne Manor, Depp and Bruce met up.

Depp, seeing Bruce still in his full suit, joked, "You look a little nervous, Batman."

Upon hearing this, Bruce immediately retorted, "I'm not nervous at all. Giving my all to every enemy is the Dark Knight's survival rule!"

Depp smiled without saying a word, which made Bruce feel a little uneasy.

Then, Depp turned his head and activated his X-ray vision to look at Wayne Manor.

If we could pinpoint Bain's location before we even got inside, everything would become much simpler.

To Depp's bewilderment, even using the Mirror of Intro and his X-ray vision simultaneously, he was still unable to find Bane's whereabouts in Wayne Manor.

"Damn it, does this guy have some kind of black technology I don't know about that can block the Mirror of Introduction? Or does he know that I can't see through zinc?"

"That's not right. Even if zinc was used, my field of vision should not be blank and transparent. There should be the outline of zinc."

"Never mind, let's go inside and talk about it."

Unable to find any trace of Bane, Depp stopped dawdling and went straight to Wayne Manor.

Bruce was speechless as he watched Depp enter Wayne Manor first.

This is my house, isn't it?!

How come you're so skilled?

Upon entering Wayne Manor, Depp said to Bruce, "I'll now conceal myself and follow behind you. You pretend to be exhausted and go back into the house. I think Bane will attack the moment you take off your suit, and I'll immediately step in to help."

Bruce immediately replied, "No problem."

Depp used illusion magic to conceal his presence, and then used a master-level stealth technique to completely hide his aura, closely following behind Bruce.

Upon entering the bedroom, Bruce stretched dramatically and yawned.

Depp looked quite embarrassed.

Bruce then began to remove his battle suit as planned.

Bane did not appear when the bat mask was removed.

Bane did not appear after his shirt was removed.

Bane did not appear when his pants were removed.

Bruce threw all the equipment onto the chair, but Bane still didn't appear.

Just as Bruce was about to take off his last pair of silk underwear, Depp appeared.

He canceled the illusion immediately, preventing Bruce from undressing in front of him in an indecent manner.

"Don't take them off, Bane doesn't seem to be here," Depp said, waving his hand.

"Huh?" Bruce was a little confused: "That guy...was he late, or did he leave before he could wait?"

Hearing Bruce's words, Depp didn't know how to respond, because it was completely different from the script!

Logically speaking, Bane should have appeared by the time Bruce threw his suit onto the chair, but Bruce is now completely naked, and Bane still hasn't shown up.

This left Depp somewhat puzzled.

Could it be that Bane suddenly gave up on attacking Batman?

That doesn't make sense!

Or is Bane really late, as Bruce said?

Depp racked his brains but couldn't guess the specific reason, so he simply gave up.

"Damn it, let's not wait for him, let's go to sleep first."

As soon as Depp finished speaking, he immediately thought of another possibility.

“Is Bane planning to make his move after you fall asleep?” Depp said.

Bruce thought about it and felt it was very likely: "Very likely, then I won't sleep tonight."

Bruce's words left Depp speechless.

“You can skip sleep today, but you can’t skip sleep every day, can you?” Depp immediately offered a suggestion: “Here’s what we’ll do, I’ll sleep next to you invisibly, so if Bane tries to attack you while you’re asleep, I can support you immediately.”

Seeing this, Bruce's eyes darted around, but he finally made up his mind and said, "Fine!"

As a result, the two of them slept soundly that night, one more soundly than the other.

At nine o'clock in the morning, when Bruce opened his eyes, Depp was still asleep!

But because Depp was invisible, Bruce didn't know Depp's location and flipped over, draping his leg over Depp.

Depp opened his eyes, disdainfully tossed Bruce's hairy legs aside, and then revealed himself with a speechless expression.

“I think Bane has definitely lost his mind!” Depp complained. “He’s missed his best chance to attack Batman, so I don’t think he’ll bother you anytime soon.”

After saying that, Depp jumped out of the window and disappeared into the horizon as a streak of lightning.

Bruce was left completely bewildered, silently stroking his hairy legs in deep thought.

A blue light suddenly appeared at the entrance of Depp and Selena's villa.

Depp walked silently into his house.

However, unnoticed by Depp, a poor guy who had been keeping watch all night finally revealed an excited expression.

"Damn Batman, I've been keeping watch at your house all night, and you're finally back!"

Bain's bloodlust gradually roused him from his extreme drowsiness.

"No wonder he's a rich playboy. He actually left such a beautiful wife at home and went out to fool around after catching a madman late at night!"

"Pah! You scumbag, I'll break your spine today!"

Seeing Depp walk up to him, Bane rushed over without hesitation.

However, just as Bain lifted the man in front of him, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

"You bastard, why are you still laughing even when you're about to die!"

Bain shouted angrily.

Upon hearing this, Depp, who was being lifted up by Bane, became even more mocking and burst into unrestrained laughter.

"Bane? You...you're really something else, hahahahaha!"

"Damn it, that explains why I didn't see you last night! Turns out you mistook me for Batman!"

"You must have had a hard night."

Chapter 260 New Members of Arkham

Last night?

Bain was a little confused. According to Depp, he had been waiting for him last night as well?

Does that mean your plans and actions have been exposed?

That shouldn't be happening!

After thinking it over, Bain decided to continue his homosexual behavior.

Let's crush Depp's back first, then we can talk about these things in detail.

What puzzled Bane was that Depp, whom he had lifted up, did not struggle at all, as if he had resigned himself to his fate... or was completely unafraid of his attack.

"Heh, maybe you think I'm just like everyone else, with the strength of an ordinary person? Sorry, I'm completely different from those weaklings!"

Bain laughed loudly, then slammed Depp hard against his knee.

Bane had long since decided that Depp was Batman, and Batman had long since been decided by Bane that he was the giant bat in his countless recurring nightmares.

Now, the opportunity to deal with that incredibly annoying bat was right in front of him, so Bane didn't hesitate.

But Bain knew that simply killing the bat wouldn't completely free him from that nightmare.

What he wanted was to completely destroy Batman, so that he would live the rest of his life in despair and pain.

"Killing you outright would be too lenient, Batman!"

Bain roared excitedly, "I'll break your spine, cripple you for the rest of your life, and then watch me conquer this city!"

Then, Bane's thick thighs met Depp's soft back, making a crisp cracking sound.

"What a beautiful sound!"

After Bain finished speaking, he fell forward.

Feeling the excruciating pain in his leg, Bain was momentarily stunned.

Depp got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and looked at Bane lying on the ground with a half-smile.

"Why...why was it my leg that was broken?!"

Bain clutched his thigh, the intense pain instantly covering his forehead with a fine layer of sweat.

"Because I'm harder than you!"

Depp laughed.

Bain struggled to get up and escape; he knew the operation had completely failed.

God knows why Batman's physique is so incredibly strong, even stronger than his own body enhanced by the drug.

Monster, a complete monster!

For Bain now, the most important issue is how to escape.

Although he knew that Batman had sworn not to kill, he did not want to surrender so easily.

Bane placed his hands on the sides of his mask's ears, increasing the supply of GL11 venom.
