But just as Thomas's breathing became weaker and weaker, a loud "bang" came from the corridor outside the ward door, but Bruce was not frightened at all, with a "I've been waiting for you for a long time" expression on his face.
expression.
As we all know, Batman and the Joker also have a law, that is, the Joker will never let Batman die at the hands of others.
Bruce brought Thomas over and put him in this near-death state just to wait for Martha the Clown to appear.
With a "bang", the ward door was knocked open, and when Martha appeared in front of her with clown makeup and a crazy smile, Bruce's hand still squeezed slightly.
And Martha who opened the door was also stunned.
Batman's Second Law of the Joker states that the stronger Batman is, the stronger the Joker will be.
What if there were two Batmans?
This is something difficult to verify, because when a Batman meets another Batman, he usually just says "Get out of my Gotham" and tries his best to put this sentence into practice.
The probability of two people being in the same frame is approximately zero.
But Bruce has already inferred the result from his past experience. There used to be two clowns in Gotham, one was Schiller and the other was Jack. So who did Batman's intensity change with?
The answer is Schiller.
Now, there are two Batmans in Bruce's Gotham, one is Bruce and the other is Thomas, so who does the intensity of Clown Jack change with?
The answer is Bruce.
Based on the above two examples, it is not difficult to conclude that the clown's strength should change together with Batman, who has the deepest bond with him. In other words, even if Bruce and Thomas appear together now, the clown Martha will only change with Thomas' strength.
And change, because they are husband and wife and have tortured each other all year round.
Of course, this change is subtle and long-term. If Batman is about to die, the Joker must be about to die, so weakening the Joker by weakening Batman on the physical level does not hold true.
But Bruce remembered that he once had a strange feeling. When the second clown Jack appeared in front of him, Bruce's first reaction was not hatred or fear, but sluggishness.
Looking back now, it was a bit like he was discerning whether dynamic difficulty should be bound to the clown in front of him, but at that time because of the existence of the clown Schiller, the result of his discernment was of course no.
But now Martha encountered the same situation, two Batmans appeared in front of her, and she was stunned for a moment to determine who was the Batman dynamically bound to her.
And it was this brief period of sluggishness that gave Bruce the opportunity to get close to the clown Martha. In an instant, the aroma of wine filled the room, and the crazy wine pulled Martha into a dream.
Previously, Bruce had three different personality traits. After clearing part of the shit mountain code, he could also have one personality trait work in dreams, and the other one float to the surface of the body to control the body, just like Schiller
Same.
Therefore, the red-eyed Bruce entangled the clown Martha's consciousness in the dream world, while the blue-eyed Bruce controlled the body and began to operate in the real world.
He walked to Thomas' bedside, but Thomas' vital signs were already approaching zero. Bruce did not activate any rescue equipment, but took out a tube of blood.
That's the blood of Cain the clown.
Bruce pushed the tube of blood into Thomas' body with a syringe, and at the same time activated the magic circle in the operating room, and an alternative vampire first embrace ceremony officially began.
The process of the first embrace ceremony is actually to remove the blood from the body of the first embracer, and then replace this part of the blood with the powerful blood from the vampire body.
Because the blood in the Vampire body has more power, it only takes a small amount of blood to replace more than half of the blood in an ordinary person's body, thus replacing their bloodline to complete the transformation of the descendant. This is the principle of the First Embrace Ceremony.
After the first embrace ceremony began, Bruce went around to the other side of the bed and directly used his angelic power to send Martha to his own universe. When the power of the crazy wine disappeared, Martha returned to reality and faced
It was a cage built with abundant green light energy, and Clark, Diana and Hal, who had been notified long ago to guard the cage.
And in the Flashpoint universe, a wonderful scene happened.
After Martha the Clown is transported away, it is equivalent to the fact that there is no clown in this universe, but the Batman in this universe is not dead, he is just in the first embracing ceremony.
Bruce has long understood that the magic of the first embrace ceremony is that during the seven to ten days of transformation, the person being embraced for the first time is hovering on the edge of life and death, neither dead nor alive.
According to the first law of Batman and the Joker, where there is Batman, there must be a Joker. Now that Batman is not dead but the Joker is gone, the order implemented by the lowest level rules in the world is to create a Joker.
So what was the basis for creating the Joker?
Bruce is very knowledgeable about this.
First there was Batman's gaze, and Bruce was now looking at Thomas and being emotionally invested in him.
Secondly, Batman has a very deep bond with the Joker. Bruce is Thomas' biological son.
Once again, the clown is going to have a bad day. No one in the world is sadder than Thomas who learned the truth today.
Finally, there is the clown virus. The clown Cain's blood that Bruce injected into Thomas is composed of two parts. One is Cain's blood, and the other is the clown virus in Cain who was turned into a clown.
To sum up, after the Joker is absent, the first priority successor should be Thomas Wayne.
A stiff smile gradually appeared on the corner of Thomas's mouth lying on the bed. But at this moment, Bruce suddenly cut off the energy supply of the magic circle of the first embrace ceremony in the operating room.
This magic circle is mainly used to stimulate the energy in the blood of the vampires, and the energy in the blood of the vampires is a necessary condition to ensure that the first embraced people live. After all, their own blood, which has been almost drained, is no longer enough to support their lives.
Once the positive energy of magic is cut off, it will naturally stop running. Then the part of Cain's blood that belongs to Cain's power will be cut off. Then Thomas, who relies on this power to maintain his life, should naturally die.
But the clown is immortal.
Then a paradox appeared. The first embrace ceremony was interrupted, and the person being embraced for the first time would naturally die. However, Thomas was the first candidate to transform into a clown, and the clown was immortal.
The rules of the world want to completely transform Thomas into a clown, but Thomas is already on the death list, and there is no such person in the living realm.
The rules of the world cannot turn a dying person into a clown, and death cannot accept a clown who is immortal according to the rules. The two are competing with each other.
Death in the DC world does not have so much humanity, it is more like an automatically running program. If the program cannot run, the object will be marked as an abnormal target, and then displayed on the error report, and the error report will finally be submitted to the highest authority.
The administrator is God.
So what is God doing now?
He was looking for Gabriel all over the world and had no time to read the error report, so the matter was stuck here.
In short, Bruce had a bug that left Thomas stuck in his current form.
At this time, Bruce got the clown Martha back, and then continued to haunt her in the dream world, and waited quietly.
The strength of the Joker changes with Batman. According to the first law, if Batman dies, the Joker will disappear.
The Batman corresponding to Joker Masha has been on the death list, which is equivalent to being dead, just stuck. When Batman dies, the Joker naturally has no need to exist, so Batman Thomas and Joker Masha
Shah's dynamic binding is released.
Then, let’s look at it based on the clown transformation principle.
First with Batman's gaze, Bruce is now looking at Martha and lavishing affection on her.
Secondly, Batman has a very deep bond with the Joker. Bruce is Martha's biological son.
Once again. The Joker is going to have a bad day. The death of Batman Thomas is equivalent to the death of Martha the Joker's husband.
Finally, there is the clown virus, and the clown Martha is originally a clown, so she already has the clown virus in her body.
In this way, Batman Bruce and Joker Martha are dynamically bound again, once again in line with Batman's clown law.
So according to a variation of Batman's second law of the Joker, the more sane Batman is, the more sane the Joker is, and the less serious Batman is, the less crazy the Joker is.
The level of sobriety of Martha, the clown who is bound to Batman Bruce, will change with Bruce, and there is no one more sober than Bruce in the world right now.
As a result, the clown Martha gradually came to her senses. The effect of the clown virus in her body became weaker and weaker, and her originally crazy eyes gradually regained their luster.
Through the messy paint on her face and the scary corners of her mouth, you can still see the lady's well-maintained and beautiful face that has not left any traces of time. Batman's appearance, which tends to be more classical and melancholy, comes from him.
Mother Martha Wayne.
And when the madness in Martha's mind gradually faded away, and the remaining memories told her reason what kind of cruel things he had done, Martha Wayne, who had always been kind and loving, finally couldn't help but collapse.
She sat on the ground and covered her face with her hands, and began to cry non-stop. Then she looked up at Bruce as if she suddenly thought of something, and Bruce was also looking down at her.
Bruce slowly knelt down and hugged Martha. Just when he wanted to say something to comfort his mother, two angels flapping their wings belatedly arrived.
Michael and Lucifer looked at Thomas, who was lying on the operating table in the operating room with unknown life and death. Michael glared at Lucifer and said, "You said let him try, now okay?"
What should we do now?"
"Why don't you try restarting?" Lucifer said with some embarrassment. Then he raised his head again, looked at the surrounding environment and said: "It's not easy to handle. Let's not mention that the Flashpoint universe is special. Restarting may cause it to collapse.
, if this damn Batman goes to complain to his teacher, I don’t want to be as unlucky as Gabriel."
"But if it continues to be stuck like this, Death will realize something is wrong sooner or later. Once he complains to God, can God still scold Batman? We must be responsible for letting him come over. Then it will be the two gods again.
Don't live alone!'.
Lucifer and Michael sighed deeply, and Lucifer gritted his teeth and said, "I knew there would be no good fruit in being associated with Schiller!"
After thinking for a while, Lucifer said: "How about we secretly resurrect Thomas, cross out the names on the death list, and pretend that nothing happened, so that the death will not be visible."
"You are disturbing the normal order of the world!" Michael, who has a sense of justice, said.
"I am correcting the normal order of the world!" Lucifer clapped his fingers and began to calculate: "Why is Batman here? Because he became an angel, so why did he become an angel? Because Gabriel gave up his identity as an angel.
If it was given to him, then why would Gabriel give up his identity as an angel?"
"Don't look at me like that. I know it's because I'm angry with him, but doesn't God have any responsibility? I'm cleaning up the mess for God. Otherwise, if several universes collapsed because of this, how could God's face be so bad?
Come?"
"Pure quibble!" Michael commented.
"Now you will know why I am God's favorite angel!"
Without saying a word, Lucifer raised his hand and Thomas gasped on the spot and sat up from the bed.
And Bruce has already left with Martha. Bruce brought Martha to his universe, which means that it does not change the plot development of the Flashpoint universe. Then Thomas will still come to this universe due to the same accident, and there is no change.
Create a time paradox.
Borrowing the power of Bruce's Holy Light, Bruce and Martha landed in Gotham Cathedral in his universe.
Standing in front of the pulpit, Martha looked at the familiar scene and couldn't help but ask: "How did you do it? Little Bruce, I mean...how did you get rid of that terrible virus?"
The twilight in Gotham was thickening outside the church door, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the stained glass windows on Martha's face, painting her eyebrows and eyes with a thick stroke of golden paint, and also covering her shoulders with a layer of paint.
Soft gauze.
The crucifix behind the pulpit of Gotham Cathedral lowered its head, its face blurred in the haze of dusk. After all the madness disappeared, Mrs. Wayne became as gentle and kind as the Virgin in the oil painting.
Bruce looked at Martha's face, which was no different from his memory. He recalled that night after kindergarten, when he threw himself into his mother's arms with a smile, the kiss fell on Martha's shoulder through the gap in the leaves of the big tree in front of the school gate.
It is also an equally beautiful and brilliant sunset.
Bruce stepped forward again. Martha, who was exhausted and tortured by the madness, looked a little confused, as if she had forgotten many things, but only her mother's instinct made her open her arms, and she would be many times stronger than she remembered.
He held his son in his arms.
Mother's love is the only kind of love in this world that comes from instinct and can be obtained without any choice or confrontation. It is never conditional and always great.
At this moment, Bruce finally understood why his teacher wanted him to take a different path - not to walk into that good night gently, but to be an ordinary person and die before the long night came, with that brilliant and passionate death.
, drowned in the gentle embrace in the twilight of emotional bursts.
