Chapter 2196: Battle of Two Cities! (Sixty)

"That's what happened, ma'am, I'm sorry..."

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 likely 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 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 he was going to be in trouble, but he could only follow Thomas to another room because Martha was there. Looking over his shoulder.

"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 restrict that lunatic named Joker? You have caused yourself to be harmed."

Martha sighed softly, walked over and stretched out her hand 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 deep 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, and 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 coming after 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 it mean to show 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 happened to fall at 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 hospital room, Bruce followed, and 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..."

Dozens 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 wanted to say very much that I usually beat him to the hospital, but he knew he couldn't say that. He thought for a moment and 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 Joker could really do something serious, he would no longer be the Joker. But if you want the Joker to not be a clown, then you have to let him do something serious. But if the Joker does something serious, , he is not...

Batman chooses to keep his mouth shut.

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!”

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 away.

"Bruce!!!"

Thomas' roar came again, and Batman had to go back to the ward again. Thomas waved his fingers behind his back with his hands shaking with anger and said: "Go, process the hospitalization procedures for the one lying on the bed, process the reexamination procedures for the one standing, and make an appointment for a mental examination for yourself, go quickly!!!"   "I don't need a mental examination..."

"God." Martha rushed over and covered Batman's mouth, patted his arm gently and said: "Don't be angry with your father, the family doctor said his blood pressure is very bad, go quickly, Bruce, I beg you."

Martha pushed Batman out of the door, closed the door and said to Batman in a low voice: "During this period, we need to take care of another you, pay more attention to the company's affairs, the children are not small, they can help you, especially Damian, he is very talented in this regard.

"Keep an eye on production and manage funds, you know, go. "

Batman watched Martha's back as she returned to the ward. He turned and left. He took only two steps when he found a figure following him.

Batman stopped and turned to look at Bruce behind him. Bruce looked at him with his arms folded, then smiled and walked forward to look into Batman's eyes and said.

"People often say that blood relationship is the closest 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.

"Your sense of security in this relationship..." Bruce raised his lips to show his teeth, then raised the corners of his mouth to show a nasty smile, "It's a bit unrealistic from now on. Bruce Wayne is more than just you. Who they are parents depends on their own abilities. "

Batman's mouth corners sank.

He really did it on purpose. Batman now knows who Bruce's sniper is targeting.

"You should go for a checkup. "

Batman turned and left. He could feel Bruce's eyes on him, and the aggression in them almost made a hole in his clothes.

It was so naive that he couldn't believe it. What did he think this was? A battle for his parents?

It was meaningless.

Batman returned to the Wayne Group's building. He had to check the latest financial statements. Even though Thomas had been in charge of the Wayne Group since the Waynes came back, Batman had to make sure that there was nothing wrong with the operation.

What worried him most was the unknown funds flowing to Mexico. During the time he stayed on Earth, he was busy paying attention to the space war and had no time to investigate what happened in Mexico. Now that the entire island of Gotham has flown away from Earth, he can't investigate what happened in Mexico.

But Batman can still infer Thomas's money through the flow of funds. What is Mas doing recently?

Several small sums of money were distributed to unknown Mexican accounts, and some funds flowed to military accounts or some accounts that were obviously black gloves.

The historical flow of funds in Mexican accounts showed that they had also purchased arms from the Wayne Group, which means that Thomas gave money to some people in Mexico and asked them to buy arms from the Wayne Group. What is this doing?

Wait, arms, why do Mexicans buy arms? There is no war there.

Batman had a bad premonition, and he immediately returned to his universe through the portal under the sky island, and then saw on the front page of international news that the People's Democratic Revolution broke out in Mexico, and the Democratic Alliance Army was fighting the Guadalajara government forces.

Batman slapped his forehead .

Thomas actually engaged in the business of an arms dealer, giving money first, and letting the other party use the money to buy their arms, and then provoking a war to sell more arms. He even 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 lost his conscience, otherwise he would not have been shot in the back.

As the investigation deepened, Batman found Thomas' personal account in the Wayne Group's computer, which was an independent folder for recording certain things.

Batman found a photo there.

The photo showed the skyline of a prosperous city, with high-rise buildings lined up one after another, busy roads, and winding overpasses and central roundabouts all shining under the sun.

That's Gotham.

Batman almost immediately recalled the incomparable shock he felt when he saw Bruce through Schiller's Mind Tower and saw Bruce and his Gotham with sunshine.

And Thomas had been there and experienced it personally.

Batman found more pictures in this folder, most of which were manuscripts, which showed that they were renovation projects of certain cities.

Batman could remember all the details of this city, so he knew that the buildings drawn on it did not belong to his Gotham, so it must be the Gotham where Bruce was.

Continuing to flip back, Batman could clearly see that the renovation in the manuscript had become the neighborhood of his Gotham, and some methods based on previous building renovations were crudely applied to buildings familiar to Batman.

Thomas was not a master of architecture, and he had only learned to paint when he was a child, so he was no longer a professional, but Batman could see his twelve efforts from these manuscripts.

One of the manuscripts is the Wayne Building where Batman is, surrounded by some buildings that Batman is not familiar with, which are obviously in Thomas's imagination, and the only blue sky and white clouds with a base color.

Now Batman knows that Thomas is selling arms and speculating in real estate, which has caused his blood pressure to become problematic. What is he going to do with the money he earns.

The battle for parents is really meaningless, Batman turned around.

But the Joker is right, it's time to go all out and see the true value of Schiller's outstanding graduates.
