Peter's voice came intermittently from the ward, and Martha seemed to be saying these things to the doctor in a fierce tone.
Batman was standing outside the door of the ward. He knew that the person in the ward now was the Batman in the universe under his feet.
According to previous investigations, Batman understood that this was another fledgling Bruce Wayne. He should be about the same age as Schiller's students, but he had received little professional training. The prologue of the Joker Plan completely defeated him.
But Batman didn't expect him to break through his defenses so completely. He just heard the doctor in the ward saying that Bruce was probably suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder syndrome, and his condition was not serious, and he was in urgent need of treatment.
Now Thomas and Martha have more things to do, but it is Batman who will suffer first.
"Bruce Wayne!" Thomas closed the door to the ward with a dark face. The moment his full name was called, Batman knew that something was going to happen, but he could only follow Thomas to another room because Martha was there.
Look behind him.
"Listen, Bruce, I have expressed countless times that I don't want you to become Batman. Yes, that's what I think. This profession is both dangerous and not meaningful enough."
"Don't rush to refute me. Answer me a question. Why don't you take more extreme measures to restrain the lunatic called the clown? You have caused yourself to be harmed."
Martha sighed softly, walked over and reached out to touch Batman's resolute face and said: "I don't know if every Bruce in the universe has suffered the tragedy of our departure, but at least I brought them
As my children, you are at different stages of life, and I don’t want them to be harmed."
"The consequences are much more serious than I imagined." Martha's eyes became a little sad, and she said: "If you tell me that you are unable to do it, I will never force you. If that puts you in danger,
Then stop holding yourself to such a strict sense of responsibility."
Batman could tell that Martha also wanted him to give up. She was worried that Batman would also be harmed by the Joker, while Batman was thinking about another problem.
Originally, he thought Bruce was like him and didn't want to stop the dog-eating dogs below before returning to Wayne Manor to kill time, but now he realized it - this kid might be here for him.
Whether it's being a better father, being a better child, or now lifting up Bruce who was driven crazy by the clown, what does this mean, are you showing off that you're doing better?
When this idea passed through Batman's mind, he felt a little incredible, because this kind of speculation was so naive, it felt like a deskmate dropped a piece of eraser and it just fell to your feet.
You assume she likes you.
Bruce didn't take the initiative to cause trouble for him, and Batman only vaguely felt that something was wrong. There was insufficient evidence, so he decided to observe again.
After Thomas and Martha returned to the ward, Bruce followed him in, and then Batman heard him outside the door.
"...Why can't I handle it? I will definitely make that lunatic look good! I will make him understand the price of doing evil!"
"What? Danger? Is there any danger? If you don't believe me, ask Damian. I often play cards with the clown in our universe, and he can't even play tricks."
"...No, he is a truck driver. He has a serious job and has no time to play cards every day. Gotham has become a logistics distribution center on the East Coast. Truck drivers are almost exhausted..."
Tens of seconds later, Thomas's roar came: "Bruce! Come here!"
Batman knew that this was calling him again, so he could only walk in. Thomas stared at him and asked: "What does that clown do?"
"What?"
I mean, what’s that clown’s profession?”
"He's a clown."
"I know he is a clown! But can he make money by beating you into the hospital?! What does he do to make money?!"
Batman really wanted to say, I usually send him to the hospital, but he knew he couldn't say that. After thinking for a while, he replied: "...He will rob banks."
"So he's a robber?"
"Occasionally a thief."
"Why don't you let him do something serious?! Like drive a truck or work in a circus or something."
Batman opened his mouth. If the clown could really do something serious, he would no longer be a clown. But if you want the clown to not be a clown, then you have to let him do something serious. But if the clown does something serious,
, he is not...
Batman chooses to shut up.
He walked out, giving Bruce a slightly confused look before leaving. Could he have deliberately revealed the situation of the clown in his universe?
"You're not much better." Thomas's roar continued, "As a Wayne, you actually owe a truck driver $100 and still haven't paid it back. You know when he came home, I had
How shameless are you?!"
Batman paused as he left, and decided to listen.
"I was wrong."
"Thomas, don't say that to him. Do you remember that he is still taking medication? The side effects of the medication are severe enough. His physical disability makes him unable to even tie knots properly. You can't force my child like this."
Batman turned and walked away.
"Bruce!!!"
Thomas's roar came again, and Batman had to return to the ward again. Thomas waved his fingers behind his back with his hands shaking with anger and said: "Go, go through the hospitalization procedures for the one who is lying on the bed, and the one who is standing."
This is the re-examination procedure, make an appointment for yourself to have a mental examination, go quickly!!!”
"I don't need a mental exam..."
"God." Martha rushed over and covered Batman's mouth, patted his arm gently and said: "Don't be angry with your dad. The family doctor said his blood pressure is very bad. Go quickly, Bruce.
, let me beg you."
Martha pushed Batman out of the door. After closing the door, she lowered her voice and said to Batman: "We need to take care of you during this time. Please pay more attention to the things in the company. The children are not young anymore. They can help."
Kudos to you, especially Damian, who is very talented in this area.
"Keep an eye on production and manage funds, you understand, go ahead."
Batman watched Martha's back return to the ward. He turned around and left. After taking no more than two steps, he found a figure following him.
Batman stopped and turned to look at Bruce behind him. Bruce crossed his arms and looked at him, then lowered his head and smiled, walked forward and looked into Batman's eyes and said.
"People often say that blood relationship is the most intimate bond. You think so too, right? You are confident about your relationship with them, thinking that they are your parents and only yours."
Batman narrowed his eyes.
"The sense of security you have in this relationship..." Bruce raised his lips to reveal his teeth, and then raised the corners of his mouth to reveal a wicked smile, "It's a bit unrealistic from now on. You are not the only one who has Bruce Wayne."
, whose parents they are, each depends on his own ability."
The corners of Batman's mouth dropped.
He did it on purpose. Batman now knows who Bruce is targeting with this sniper.
"It's time for you to go for a review."
Batman turned around and left. He could feel Bruce's gaze lingering on him, and the aggression in it was about to poke a hole in his clothes.
Childishly unbelievable, what does he think this is, a battle between parents?
Meaningless.
Batman returned to the Wayne Group building, and he had to check the latest financial statements. Even if Thomas has been in charge of Wayne Group since the Waynes came back, Batman still had to make sure there were no abnormalities in the operations.
What worries him the most is the unidentified funds that flowed to Mexico. During the time when they were still on the earth, he was too busy paying attention to the space war and had no time to investigate what happened in Mexico. Now the entire island of Gotham has flown away from the earth.
There is nothing to investigate about Mexico.
But Batman can still deduce what Thomas has been doing recently through the flow of funds.
Several small amounts of funds were distributed to unknown Mexican accounts, and some funds flowed to military accounts or some accounts that were obviously black gloves.
Traces of historical fund flows through Mexican accounts show that they also purchased arms from Wayne Group. In other words, Thomas gave money to certain people in Mexico and asked them to come to Wayne Group to buy arms. What was he doing?
Wait, arms, why are the Mexicans buying arms? No war broke out there.
Batman had a bad premonition, and he immediately returned to his own universe through the portal under the sky island. Then he saw on the front page of international news that the People's Democratic Revolution broke out in Mexico, and the Allied Democratic Forces were fighting against the melon.
The battle between Dalajara government forces.
Batman slapped him on the forehead.
Thomas actually acted like an arms dealer, giving money first and letting the other party buy their arms with them, so that he could sell more arms after provoking a war. He actually had the nerve to accuse himself of being Batman?!
But Batman instinctively felt that something was wrong. It was true that Thomas was a businessman, but he knew that his father was not the kind of arms dealer who had no conscience, otherwise he would not have been shot in the dark.
As the investigation deepens, Batman finds Thomas' personal account in the Wayne Group's computer, which is a separate folder used to record certain things.
Batman found a photo there.
The photo shows the skyline of a bustling city, with row upon row of high-rise buildings, busy roads, winding overpasses and central roundabouts all sparkling in the sunlight.
That's Gotham.
Batman almost immediately recalled the unparalleled shock he felt when he saw Bruce through Schiller's tower of thought and saw Bruce and his Gotham with sunshine.
Thomas had been there and experienced it firsthand.
Batman found more pictures in this folder, most of which were manuscripts. It could be seen that they were reconstruction projects of certain cities.
Batman can remember all the details of this city, so he knows that the buildings painted on it do not belong to the Gotham where he lives, so it must be the Gotham where Bruce lives.
Continuing to turn back, Batman can clearly see that the manuscript has been transformed into the neighborhood of Gotham where he is located, and some methods based on previous architectural transformations have been awkwardly applied to buildings that Batman is familiar with.
Thomas was not a master architect, and he had only learned to draw when he was a child. He was no longer a professional, but Batman could see from these manuscripts that he had put in a lot of effort.
One of the manuscripts depicts the Wayne Tower where Batman is located, surrounded by some buildings that Batman is not familiar with that are obviously Thomas's fantasy buildings, and the only blue sky and white clouds that have been painted with background colors.
Now Batman knows that Thomas is planning to use the money he earns from selling arms and speculating in real estate, causing his blood pressure to suffer from fatigue.
The battle for parents is so pointless, Batman turns around.
But the clown is right, it’s time to go all out and see the real value of Schiller’s outstanding graduates.
