Selena picked up her bag and walked out of the car. She turned around and blew a kiss to Bruce and said, "Thank you, honey, I had a great time. I have to go back and pack my luggage. I'll see you tomorrow afternoon!"
Bruce turned sideways, stretched out one of his hands, and pushed open Selina's car door. Selina understood what he meant, walked back, leaned forward, then leaned into Bruce's arms and kissed him.
his cheek.
Then she left quickly. Bruce touched the spot on his cheek that had just been kissed by Selena and sighed. He thought that he was really a little obsessed.
If someone had told him a year ago that he would spend a few days driving around along the East Coast, he would have felt more uncomfortable than going to jail. But who knew that love is so unreasonable?
When Selina said she had a great time, Bruce's guilt about wasting time disappeared.
Of course, now that the vacation is over, he still has to return to his original life. Bruce slowly started the car and drove back to Wayne Manor. When it was completely dark, he drove the Batmobile and wore the Batsuit again.
, left the manor, planning to continue to improve his own Batcave.
After so long, the Batcave has been basically built, but some light equipment has not been put in. The Batmobile roared on the streets of Gotham at night, but as soon as he drove through an intersection, he felt a strong beam of energy.
The light dazzled his eyes, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes and look at the intersection on his right, where a huge truck was parked.
The strong light was the high beam of the truck, and the two lights flashed. When the light went out, Batman saw the terrifying smiling face on the driver's seat of the truck.
Instinct started to alarm frantically. Batman stepped on the accelerator, but it was too late. The huge truck had already rushed in front of him. Batman pressed the button in front of him, and in an instant, the seat ejected out. When he landed, he was on the ground.
He rolled twice and then stood up.
The heavy truck crashed into the Batmobile, and the entire Batmobile was lifted up. When it landed, fragments of the windshield and roof parts flew out. Immediately afterwards, the front of the giant truck exploded, and the explosion flames were like a fire on the dark road.
A group of fireworks blooming in place.
"Welcome home, Batman, hahahahahaha!!!"
A series of harsh laughter came from the dark night, and Batman squinted his eyes and saw the figure.
Just like a fateful duel, they faced each other in the dark night. The man with clown makeup on the opposite side did not have any weapons in his hands and looked extremely weak.
But Batman's heart was beating faster and faster, blood rushed to his head, and he didn't know whether he was scared or excited now.
"Did you enjoy your vacation, Batman?"
The Joker looked into Batman's eyes and said, with a smile on his face, as if he was expecting a positive answer, but soon he made a sad expression and said, "But I'm very unhappy, Batman.
Do you know? Do you know what has happened to me recently?!"
"I was caught by a crazy psychiatrist and taken to the hospital! He conducted his horrific dream experiments. I was thrown into the deep consciousness space by him, and then faced a terrifying monster!!"
Suddenly, he stopped, then turned to look at the exploded wreckage of the truck. He screamed, opened his eye sockets with his fingers, then slid down his eyelids with four fingers, made a horrified expression and said: "Oh my God.
Now, what did I see?!"
He ran over quickly and began to rummage through the debris of the explosion. Suddenly, he found a tire fragment that had not been completely burned. He held the fragment and said: "My tire lady, she is dead."
Oh, she was the one who stayed with me during your absence..."
Batman just stood there and watched the clown's performance. He didn't say anything, he just turned the corners of his mouth downwards.
It started to rain in Gotham, and soon it turned into a heavy downpour. Lightning began to flash across the sky. The rain slapped on the wreckage in the middle of the road, spreading the burning smell farther and farther.
At this time, the clown stood up. He stood in the rain, without armor, cape, or weapon. He was alone, like a thin and pale ghost.
The rain made the makeup on his face begin to fade, as if his entire skin had been dissolved, but he still wore that crazy smile and said to Batman: "You think I'm an annoying lunatic, don't you?"
"Always popping up from all kinds of places, causing you a lot of trouble, dragging you to watch some performances that you don't like and can't understand, and saying some crazy things that you don't want to hear and can't understand.
…”
"But, Batman, I will let you understand..."
The smile on his face became more and more crazier. After the absurd and bizarre sense of humor faded away from these terrifying expressions and movements, only the real danger and madness remained.
He took out a button from his pocket and said to Batman: "Have you ever made an important decision in your life? The kind of decision that can change the path of your life?"
"I just made such a decision."
"I made a bet with someone, Batman..."
"I bet you won't let me down, so now..."
The Joker looked directly at Batman through the layers of rain and said to him: "...the game begins."
The button was pressed, and there was a loud "boom". Batman turned his head and saw a violent fire rising somewhere in the city.
When the button hit the ground, there was a tiny splash of water. When the waves calmed down, only the Joker's crazy smile remained, and Batman had disappeared.
The next night, there was the same icy heavy rain, accompanied by sharp sirens, and a huge bat light lit up in the sky over Gotham. Gordon took the phone and said to the other end: "Get the negotiators up quickly!! That one
What on earth is the lunatic going to do??”
He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the office and looked at the roof of the building not far away. There was only one standing figure there, but there were many ropes hanging on the side of the building, with people tied to them.
The TV showed an even more terrifying face of the Joker in the rain. He held the camera and said, "Do you know? Just yesterday, I was in the underpasses of the twelve main streets in Gotham and asked all the homeless people which homeless people they liked best.
Who are the annoying people? Ask them who they think caused their current miserable life..."
“A lot of people have complained to me about all kinds of things, their bosses fired them, their landlords kicked them out, convenience stores and restaurants didn’t give them free food, yeah, yeah, all kinds of things.
Something like this..."
"And I! Hero Jack! I cried for their tragic experience, so, hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!" The clown let out a series of crazy laughs and said: "I tied their enemies here!"
He took a deep breath, then shrugged his shoulders, held the camera with one hand, pointed to the edge of the roof with the other hand, and said loudly: "Did you see it! Tramps! Your enemy is about to...is about to die!"
"hahahahahahahahahahaha!"
In the footage, the clown walked to the edge of the roof in the pouring rain, then took out a dagger and put it against the rope. The tied man was in a suit and leather tie and looked like an elite employee.
He looked up and saw the clown's crazy smile and the dagger pointed at the rope hanging him. He collapsed and shouted: "No!! No!!! I will fall, I will fall to my death!!"
"Oh, hero... yes, I am a hero. I want to give the person on trial a chance to say his last words. Do you have anything to say?"
"Please, let me go! Please, don't do this... don't do this to me, I don't want to die!!"
The clerk kept pleading. His spirit had completely collapsed and he couldn't even speak a complete sentence.
This made the clown feel very bored, so he waved his dagger and cut the rope. The employee fell from a more than 30-story building and fell to the ground, turning into a puddle of flesh.
Before the police and negotiators on the ground could make any move, the ropes and people fell down like heavy rain from the sky. Standing on the ground, you could only see their desperate expressions before they died.
Not long after the Bat-Lamp came on, a second standing figure appeared on the roof, that was Batman.
Just as everyone expected, a dark figure stood opposite the clown.
I don't know what they said, the two of them struggled with each other, and the whole world was filled with the sound of rain and thunder.
The fight between the two people was more like a mime performance, and an unexciting and even somewhat comical rivalry scene unfolded.
In the end, the Joker was knocked to the ground and his arms were tied, but Batman's shoulder was also scratched, and blood was washed away by the rain.
The Joker lying on the ground was still smiling and said: "Batman, you won, but do you think this is what everyone expected to see?"
"Even if you are the hero of everyone else in Gotham, you are definitely not the hero of those homeless people, because they can almost see their enemy fall from a tall building, and then smash into a pulp, and get a more miserable life than them.
ending!"
"You will never become a hero, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!"
After the Joker was taken away, Batman walked alone through the streets, got into the car, started the car, and then drove into the endless dark rainy night of Gotham.
He was not swayed by those crazy words, he just spent too much energy.
He did not choose to go back to Wayne Manor directly, but drove to the Batcave and treated his wounds as usual, first with spray and then with a bandage. When everything was done, he took care of the blood-stained wounds.
Get rid of all the clothes, put on a new set, and then drive back to Wayne Manor.
Wayne Manor was still brightly lit. Alfred stood at the door to greet him. Seeing his pale face, Alfred said to him: "Master, you need some hot drinks. How about a cup of hot chocolate?"
"Thank you, Alfred."
He didn't refuse, just walked to the sofa and sat down. When Alfred brought the hot chocolate, he instinctively wanted to use his dominant hand to take it, but it affected the wound. The moment his movements paused, he immediately changed
Use the other hand to hold the cup.
But he knew that this was still discovered by Alfred. Although his butler said nothing, he still sent him upstairs to the bedroom as usual.
A deep fatigue surrounded him. He walked to the sink in the lavage room and looked in the mirror. In it, his face was pale and expressionless, but somehow, that crazy smile appeared on his face.
In his heart, it appeared in his eyes, and then reflected in the mirror, he seemed to see himself smiling.
He shook his head, suppressed those messy thoughts, and walked out of the bathroom.
His fingers stopped on the switch of the desk lamp, but he hesitated for a moment and still did not press it. Just like that, he lay on the bed without turning off the light, and then slowly fell asleep with a tired look.
The sound of slight breathing echoed in the room, the night was getting darker and darker, and the rain was getting heavier.
The whole room was filled with soft light. Whether it was the bed, the walls or the carpet, it reflected a thin layer of light, and the darkness seemed to have no escape.
And when a bolt of lightning flashed across, in the deepest dark corner under the bed, a scarlet mouth slowly revealed a crazy smile.
