Laughing American comics, I am becoming more and more like a clown

----

The Batcave wasn't lonely for a long time. For five years, many of Gotham's outstanding people had competed with each other in acting here, portraying various mental illnesses.

But now, the bird cages are empty and hung high, with only a few bats hanging upside down in them to rest.

Even Alfred had to spend less time underground as he got older.

Only the Silent Bat.

He sat in front of the Batcomputer, his back lit, like a plaster sculpture, blending into the silence around him. Codes composed of letters, symbols and numbers flowed on the screen, which were the parallel universe signals captured these days.

The final compilation is now underway.

Not being able to find Lucian's weakness doesn't mean he doesn't have any weaknesses, it just means he hides them well enough.

And if you find the universe from which he came, the beginning, when fear and desire are all there, you can find the weakness.

……

The progress bar on the Batcomputer moved, then paused at 100%, and finally displayed a picture:

In the warm room, there is a dead baby wrapped in the afterbirth on the table, a headless and disemboweled corpse lies on the ground, the word "heresy" is written in blood on the wall, and Lucian is sitting on the sofa, kissing a female head.

……

Silent Bat:?

……

Jack Napier is buried in the Wayne Cemetery, which is located in Wayne Manor. If you go there to dig up his grave directly, it would be no different from going to the Batcave and digging out his offspring directly.

This bat will not leave the Bat Cave unless it is necessary. Even if it leaves the Bat Cave, it will be to find Lucian.

But there is no way.

……

Why did Batman choose the image of "Bat"?

Because Bruce's first vigilante action failed, he was thinking in his father's study when a bat broke through the glass and rushed in, which gave him inspiration. (Comic "Batman: Year One")

But Silent Bat obviously does not have this condition, and he chose the image of "bat" not to uphold justice or be a vigilante.

Rather, it was the legend he heard while trapped in Arkham Asylum and being mentally controlled and physically abused:

Centuries ago, Arkham was obsessed with witchcraft. He traveled around the world and when he passed through Gotham, he saw a bat monster that could penetrate windows and doors and take the lives of patients.

So he chose the image of "bat".

So in this world, Arkham Asylum has, to a certain extent, replaced Gotham and become Batman's promised land.

So even if the silent bat hides in Gotham again, he will not turn a blind eye to Arkham Asylum.

Chapter 203 Mutual Weaknesses

"Gotham is in chaos lately, Casey, don't go out."

Casey, the teacher who taught Silent Bat how to escape from prison, has been a bohemian and freedom-loving person all his life, but in the current environment, it is not a good time to escape.

He turned his head lazily: "I know, I'm not stupid." He stretched his waist, causing a series of creaking sounds: "Bruce hasn't been here for a long time, is there something wrong?"

"Jack is dead."

"...Jack." Casey sighed, "Bruce will probably be very sad."

But there was only this sigh, no one recalled, no one regretted, compared to this, Casey took out the playing cards from his pocket and shuffled them:

"So, who wants to play cards?"

He cares more about this.

Poker cards in classic Stars and Stripes colors draw an arc on the table.

……

Playing cards, playing cards, playing cards, this is the boring retirement life of these teachers in Arkham.

Texas Hold'em, Draw Cards, and Souha are the most common ways to play. Although they are not very fun and winning or losing does not matter much, it does not prevent any parties from cheating.

Cheating, cheating, cheating, it all comes down to who has better cheating skills. If you are a newbie with slow hands, you can't afford it and don't play.

……

Kathy spit out the cigarette holder, felt in her pocket, then in her pants, and finally found ten dollars in her vest. She threw it over and said, "Follow it."

Of course, in the end, we lost.

The player opposite was one step faster than him. Casey couldn't possibly take out two more kings. He supported himself with both hands, pushed the chair back, and said, "I don't have any money, so I don't want to play anymore." as he walked out.

No one paid any attention to him, and soon someone else took up the responsibility, only taking the time to remind him: "Don't go out, Casey, it's not safe outside."

"I know, I'm not stupid."

……

Arkham is a standard modern Gothic style, combining comfort and magnificence, and its aesthetic level is also extremely online. Light shines on the ground through the colorful glass, and there is a long distance between the dome and the ground.

Casey took a look and had no interest in leaving. The nurse did not stop her. Perhaps it could be said that compared to a psychiatric hospital, this place was more like a nursing home. There were no mandatory requirements and patients had a lot of autonomy.

There were shrubs trimmed into various shapes, clean gravel paths, and valuable sculptures... Cathy had no interest in any of them. She walked to the edge of the garden, looked up at the railing above... and climbed over it to go outside.

At this moment, the nurse noticed his unusual behavior and came over: "It's not safe outside, sir."

Cathy looked down at him and said, "I know." Then she walked away.

But after the caregiver turned and left, he quietly came back, and this time without hesitation, he climbed over the wall.

……

three meters.

There was a circle of soft mud outside, and there was no time to plant flowers or plants. Casey somersaulted awkwardly on the spot to use as a buffer.

Because it rained a few days ago, some mud was stuck to my clothes. I stood up and patted it off, not very satisfied with my actions.

But there is no way, after all, I am old and my functions are deteriorating.

Casey limped towards the gate.

But suddenly, his body froze and a round object pressed against the back of his head.

Feel the cool iron and smell the faint smell of sulfur.

It's a pistol.

Casey slowly raised her hand.

……

Lucian had been waiting for him here for two days. After all, how could the jailbreak master not escape?

Even if he is old, even if he is reminded and stopped, even if he will go back on his own initiative after escaping from prison.

So as expected, he waited for Casey.

"I admire you very much, the legendary jailbreak master, so... can I have a word with you for a moment?"

Casey heard the sarcasm but said nothing, rolling his eyes and looking in the direction of the camera... destroyed.

Or I destroyed it myself when I was scouting the place.

艹

……

"What do you want?" he asked directly in a low voice.

"I want you to help lure Wayne over here."

"no problem."

……

Why are Jack and Alfred in Wayne Manor while they are in Arkham Asylum... Because of emotion. To these teachers who teach skills, Silent Bat is just one of the apprentices and does not have much weight.

Not to mention compared with your own life.

The asylum is important to the Silent Bats, but the Silent Bats are not that important to this group of lunatics.

Casey was very happy: "How do you want me to help?"

----

The Silent Bat is still capturing Lucian's world of origin through the Bat Computer. With the initial success, the information exchange has gradually stabilized, and more images can be seen.

Lucien met Jenny in a tavern; in a dark room, he promised to make a career for the rebels; for the sake of Jenny and the child, he became a coward who escaped; after the death of both, he fought desperately to take revenge on the rebels.

weakness……

The image on the other side of the computer gradually became clear, and it was Jenny's face, an extremely ordinary Asian woman.

"Drip drip!"

Before the image was fully generated, the computer suddenly sounded a shrill alarm.

It was the distinctive sound of Arkham Asylum being attacked. Silent Bat put down what he was doing and said, "Alfred, something has happened in Arkham Asylum, and I need your help now."

"...Okay, sir, I'll be there right away."

In fact, Alfred was taking a light nap in bed, but he still got dressed and hurried into the Batcave. When he sat in front of the Batcomputer and looked at the scene of the asylum remotely, the Silent Bat was already driving fast on the road.

"The internal cameras have been destroyed, and the gentlemen's positioning devices have been removed. There are no signs of damage at the scene... No one has left the asylum. Be extremely careful, sir!"

……

As Alfred said, the asylum was not destroyed, not at all.

A superpower with special skills, an overwhelming force that is impossible to resist, a poison that penetrates the food or air, or even betrayal from within.

These are the only possibilities.

When the Silent Bat stepped in, the first three had already been ruled out.

Someone betrayed me.
