Batman and Batwoman immediately rushed to the neighborhood where they had suspected. Sure enough, they saw Bruce here. He had not become older, but more mature.
The two of them followed Bruce home. To be precise, after Bruce returned home, they guessed Bruce's home address through the light on the window, and then climbed onto the balcony.
Through the gap in the curtains, they saw an old man lying on the bed.
Bruce put the purchased groceries back in the refrigerator one by one, walked into the house, sat down by the old man's bed, and lit the bedside lamp.
Standing in the corner of the balcony, Batman saw that it was Gordon, but he was already very old, with white hair, thin and withered eyes.
"Chief Ge Yin is divorced." Bruce said: "Her second husband cheated on her and was also suspected of sexual bribery. She is fighting a lawsuit with him for custody, and the result is not optimistic."
Gordon just stared at the ceiling without blinking, without any change in his eyes. Both Batman and Batwoman heard Bruce say: "I know she came to you 20 years ago, but not for the Claw Killer.
You ask her to investigate me."
"You asked her to go to the police station and find the file on the case where you were shot. You suspect that I was the one who fired the gun."
Gordon finally turned his eyes slowly and stared at Bruce with his cloudy eyeballs. Bruce said: "You saw me, right?"
Gordon slowly rolled his eyes back.
Batwoman on the balcony looked at Batman. Neither of them had any surprise on their faces, because they had figured it out before.
Gordon asked the female police officer to check the files on the original case, but she had to hide it from everyone, including Bruce. This was not normal.
Even if they were worried that there might be hidden clues from those who snatched shares in the police station, there should not be any need to hide it from Bruce, because the group of hyenas who snatched the inheritance were also Bruce's enemies, and they should have been comrades on the same front.
But Gordon had no intention of telling Bruce, and even specifically asked the female police officer not to tell Bruce, so it became obvious who he was suspecting.
"I fired the shot," Bruce said.
Gordon's hands gradually tightened the sheets, and Bruce slowly lowered his head and said, "I know it's too late to say this now, but I was angry at the time that you couldn't find the murderer who killed my parents. I want you to be so incompetent."
The police went to bury them."
Gordon's expression suddenly shattered, and the perseverance, seriousness, and spirit that had not been wiped out even though it had become haggard seemed to have collapsed in an instant.
He became dazed and numb, with a bit of pain coming from his memories in his expression. The case of the Waynes was a hurdle that he would never be able to overcome in his life.
"Actually, I regretted it when I fired the first shot." Bruce sighed softly and said, "I pressed the trigger instinctively, which caused all this. I know that I am responsible, so I have to take care of you.
.”
"Even if I'm a useless policeman?" Gordon said in a hoarse voice, "A policeman who can't catch the criminal who killed your parents?"
Bruce was silent, and then he whispered: "These are two different things, uncle, we will move soon, I have bought a new house, everything will pass."
Gordon's lips began to tremble, tears flowed from his dry eyes, and he slowly turned his eyes to Bruce, who had already stood up.
"do you hate me?"
Bruce heard Gordon ask.
Bruce stood there for a long time before taking steps toward the bedroom door. While turning the door handle, he said, "No, uncle, I don't hate you anymore."
"Of course you don't hate him anymore, because your revenge has been completed." A deep voice sounded from the other end of the room, and Batman opened the curtains and walked out.
Bruce turned back to look at the sudden appearance of Batman, stepped back cautiously like an ordinary person, leaned his back against the door panel, grabbed the cell phone next to him and said, "Who are you? Why did you show up at my house?"
"Are you going to call the police?" Batman said: "Do you still want to continue acting now? Is there no shortage of audiences now?"
Batwoman also came out, leaning against the wall next to her, standing with her arms folded, staring at Bruce by the door.
"I don't know what you are talking about."
"If you really shot Gordon because he was a useless cop and couldn't find the murderer of your parents, you would have shot him, and you didn't."
"You let him live in a humiliating manner, leaving him with nowhere to vent his raging heart of justice. He could do nothing in the real world and could only keep recalling the past and endure endless mental torture."
"You also let him see you on purpose. He knew you were the culprit of all this. He hated you for turning him into this, but he still had to rely on you because he couldn't find the person who killed your parents.
The murderer blamed himself for all the tragedies he suffered, tortured himself, and was completely unable to escape."
"You also made him think that you were dependent on him, that you had feelings for him, and that he was your last relative, so he couldn't even get rid of this torture by committing suicide because he didn't want you to lose a loved one again."
"You made his life worse than death but couldn't die. You took the most brutal revenge method in the world, and now you tell him that you don't hate him. Don't you feel that you are despicable?"
Bruce looked at Batman with a stern face, as if he was thinking about something. Batwoman lowered her eyes and said, "To do this can only prove that you are a natural sociopath, because it is impossible for ordinary people to survive for decades.
For those who have witnessed his pain countless times over the years and are indifferent, no matter whether he is his enemy or not, as long as you have empathy, you cannot accept it, and if you have no reaction, it proves that you are a madman."
"You didn't feel any guilt when you told the truth." Batwoman shook her head and said, "You don't even have any feelings. The only frustration and self-blame you may have is reflecting on your creativity of torturing others. That's all.
Come up with more cruel methods, that's all you care about."
"I'm not an ordinary person." Bruce suddenly said: "Maybe I'm more like a loser. Both my parents died, and my relatives took everything away. I have no education and no ability. I have worked as a part-time worker for half my life, and I still have to take care of a child.
burden."
"You are trying to portray yourself as a victim." Batman said: "This is also a tactic used by sociopaths. When they say this, it proves that they are not the victims of these tragedies, but the creators."
"You just want to make Gordon feel more guilty." Batwoman pointed out, "You want him to know how difficult it is for you and how long he has dragged you down, and you also use this to pretend to be an ordinary person who can't cope with ordinary life.
"
"I have indeed lived like this for most of my life." Bruce said flatly.
"But it's all because of the shots you fired." Batman was not disturbed by him at all, saying: "If you hadn't fired those two shots, Gordon wouldn't be paralyzed in bed, and you wouldn't have to run around. This is not you.
Did you ask for it?"
"I was just acting on impulse."
"I told you that you weren't. If you were impulsive, you would have shot his head off without hitting his spine accurately." Batwoman smiled and said with a sarcastic look: "You don't
Do you think it would be easier to keep a person alive and paralyzed with one shot than to blow his head off? How long have you been practicing? "
"Then the cause of the matter should be that he failed to find the murderer of my parents. He is an incompetent policeman." Bruce said in a deep tone.
"Then you are also an incompetent clerk." Batman said: "Anyone who encounters you messing up anything at work should be a murderer who shoots you. Maybe your parents are also because of their
I messed up something at work and was rightfully killed."
Bruce's face darkened, and he stared at Batman with frighteningly focused eyes.
Suddenly, he smiled.
"Are you here just to play this logic game with me? Then you win, but if you don't leave my house, I'm calling the police."
"Don't worry." Batman said calmly: "Who shaped this world? Why?"
"Don't you think it's too late to pursue this issue now?" Bruce said unabashedly: "It's meaningless."
"Of course." Batman turned around and said, "Because no matter who shaped it, it is about to be destroyed."
Batman turned and left, and Batwoman also left, but neither of them saw the corners of Bruce's lips secretly raised behind him.
Arkham Batman, who was confronting Little Krypton at the door, was stunned. He heard the conversation between Bruce and Batman coming from the screen. He suddenly turned his head to look at the screen and said: "What did he say? It is about to be destroyed."
This world is about to be destroyed???"
"But Jason's little daughter hasn't been born yet." Arkham Batman said in despair: "At the family gathering just now, he said that he was looking forward to it, of course..."
He no longer cared about the obstruction of these animals and rushed towards the door. Xiao Krypton had no choice but to fly after him and said: "Where are you going?"
"I want to enter this universe." Arkham Batman said: "I want to stop that Batman from destroying it. I have to..."
Jason's happy smile flashed through Arkham Batman's mind again. This was the fate that Jason should have had. He thought that he needed to get everything on track. Even if the dream would eventually wake up, Jason would
He should enjoy a little more peace here, he deserves it.
He will never allow anyone to break this dream with violent means, allowing Jason to return to the cold reality, so that his only time to escape the painful memories of the past has become so short, even if this person is another Batman

In the real world, the Robins welcomed an unexpected guest, Poison Ivy.
What happened was that they finally reached the vicinity of Wayne Tower, and after experiencing a series of hardships in the fog, they finally reached the top of Wayne Tower and entered the office, but unfortunately, there was nothing here anymore.
There was no trace of King Robin, and those crazy Robins couldn't tell where their boss had gone. The Robins were in vain again, and they were inevitably a little frustrated.
But at this time, Poison Ivy walked out of the office lounge, and it seemed like she had been waiting for them here.
"Okay, you're finally here, looks like you need help?"
