Chapter 2199: Battle of Two Cities! (Sixty-Three)

After Martha left, Bruce looked up at the window on the second floor. The moment Batman's eyes met his, Bruce smiled.

Batman closed the curtains and sat back in his recliner to continue watching his Holmes. He was watching the exciting part of "A Study in Scarlet". Holmes was studying the two small pills, one of which was poisonous and the other was not, and his method of testing was to feed them to the puppy.

Thank goodness there was no animal protection law in that era, Batman thought endlessly, otherwise Holmes would have to use humans for experiments, because there is no human protection organization so far, but this is an important reason for the progress of human technology.

This idea often appears in Batman's mind, and it sounds like a hell joke with a strange idea, but Batman knows that this is the sound leaked by his other side constantly hitting the cage.

He knows better than anyone that, as Bruce said, the dividing line between him and those lunatics is not clear enough, or there is no dividing line at all, and it can't even be said that they are two sides of the same coin. They are completely consistent.

To some extent, the death of the Waynes saved Batman, completely cutting off the possibility that he would grow into a psychopath under favorable conditions. The flame of revenge overwhelmed those crazy parts, completely pushed him to the opposite side of criminals, and made him a dark knight.

For revenge, Batman completely suppressed the negative body that coexisted with extremely high wisdom with his strong willpower, but that thing was originally Batman, and the blockade was not absolute, so Batman could often hear some sounds, or feel some thoughts and emotions affected by the negative body, usually some bloody black humor.

After reading the book for a while, Batman put it down, took a nap on the recliner, and then got up and set off for the laboratory.

In the laboratory of the Batcave, Batman found the previous research on the shield by Robin, which could not be said to be research, but just some preliminary collection of information, so he began to use these information to study the properties of the shield itself.

He has one more important clue than Robin and the others, that is, he knows that this thing is Apokolips technology. When they went to Apokolips before, Robin and the others brought back a lot of things, but Batman has kept them in the warehouse without using them.

Now, as long as we study that thing, we should be able to find clues to crack the shield. Batman is not trying to crack the shield, he just needs a method.

After Batman started his research, Robin returned to the Batcave one after another, acting as experimental assistants as usual, mainly because they were very interested in the large amount of Apokolips equipment. Since they moved them back, Batman locked them in the warehouse, and they didn't even have a chance to touch them.

"I'm going to look for Clark in this world." Bruce said to Batman on the communicator: "He should have an idea of ​​how to crack this shield. I think he has the ability to realize his idea. I want to talk to him, or maybe Barry."

The Robins all pricked up their ears to listen. Bruce continued on the phone: "Although I'm not sure what his state is in this universe, I think as long as he can run, he can definitely bring us into the shield."

"I have no opinion." Batman shook his head and said: "But you'd better carefully evaluate the level of Batman and the Joker in this universe. The speed force is not always useful."

After that, he hung up the communication, and then saw the three Robins looking at him with expectant eyes. It's not expectant that he can take out the pile of Apokolips equipment for them to study - they are not really that interested in those things. After all, except Batman, no one here can understand what the structure of those things is. They are just idle.

But now they are obviously more interested in something. The solution proposed by the younger Batman is obviously more exciting and more adventurous.

Rather than squatting in the laboratory and using technology to crack the shield, they wanted to see Superman's Cyclops blow it up directly, or a golden lightning bolt took them in directly, and see the confused expressions of the aliens.

"No." Batman shook his head and said, "Stay here and help me dismantle the equipment."

"Oh!" Red Hood was the first to wail, but this did not change Batman's mind. He closed the door of the Batcave, and no one could get out. The other two had to disperse, hoping that they could finish their work quickly and then go down to take a look.

They were busy for about half an hour, and Batman received another communication from Bruce.

"I found Clark, but the Bruce Wayne of this universe did a terrible job. He didn't recognize me at all, and he didn't intend to cooperate with me. He thought he had a way to break the alien blockade and kill them all."

"But the good news is that I saw that part of the alien shield spread into the sea, encircling a large area of ​​sea. I think this should be within Arthur's responsibility, but if I want to go to the sea, I need a bat suit."

"I'll send it to him." Red Robin took the lead and said, "I remember that you have a complete underwater function bat armor upstairs."

"Come and get it yourself." Batman said ruthlessly.

Red Robin and Jason looked at each other and made faces, but Bruce came over with injuries.

"In order to see Clark, I have to get close enough to the shield." Bruce shrugged, glanced at the wound on his arm and said, "That thing has an automatic defense function and fired a laser cannon in my direction. I just hid a little slower."

"Oh my god, the one lying there is no better than the one lying in the hospital." Red Hood sighed: "Of course that thing has an automatic defense function, how can it be just a shield?"

"There is no need to separate your hospitalization procedures." Batman operated the instrument and said without looking back: "I will let Alfred drive you to the hospital."

"It's just a minor injury, it's not a big deal. Just bandage it. Besides, I won't go near there anymore." Bruce spread his hands and said, "But it would be better if you could have a set of armor with better waterproof function. ”

"This is not a good idea." Nightwing dissuaded: "No matter how perfect the armor is, it is difficult to avoid the risk of being injured in the water, and no one knows who the Sea King is in this universe. If he attacks you, it will be too dangerous. ”

"I will find a way to get him to the shore." Bruce said: "Finalize a negotiation location at the port of Metropolis. After such a big thing happened, they must do something to prepare for the formation of the Justice League in the future. "

Red Robin opened his mouth. He actually wanted to say that judging from the level of Batman in this universe, it is not necessary to form the Justice League, because the Justice League without a brain is not as good as Superman and Wonder Woman fighting alone.

Then he heard Bruce say: "The level of Batman in this universe may be low, but I have also had this time. It was like this when I first debuted. I just need to practice more."

"Besides, even if he's not good enough, he won't give up being Batman. It's better to form the Justice League early. He spends money on logistics, and others protect him and Gotham's safety. It's a win-win situation."

Several people thought what he said made sense, but Nightwing was still a little worried and said, "Negotiating with Neptune is not that simple. Do you want to go to the meeting alone?" "Of course he can't." Red Hood immediately proposed, "We will accompany you. Go ahead, even if you try to measure him, you won’t dare to do anything.”

Red Robin turned to look at Batman. Batman knew that he could only agree now.

Because he knows very well that if he doesn't agree, Bruce will dare to die in front of Arthur on the spot, and then Robin and the Waynes will find out that he has killed another Batman. Who is the one who excludes dissidents now?

Batman raised his eyes and glanced at the three of them. They immediately became nervous and shivered. In the end, he nodded, but the implicit warning in his eyes made the three of them unable to be happy at all.

Bruce left with the three Robins. Batman's expression was still mysterious, showing no joy, anger, or even the slightest bit of depression.

If you want to go to the ground, you must take a Batplane, but the small Batplane cannot seat four people. Red Robin said: "Let Jason fly the plane, and Dick will help you bandage. I can't help much, so go alone."

There's nothing wrong with this arrangement. All three Robins can fly a plane, but Jason's driving skills are indeed the best, followed by Tim's, and Dick always knows where the medical kit on the bat device is.

The three of them got on the plane first, and Red Robin followed behind in a separate fighter plane. They drove slowly towards the metropolis, but the metropolis was very close to the new city, so the plane was getting closer and closer to the shield.

"Be careful." Bruce warned: "This thing has a defensive function. Once it detects something approaching from the outside, it will fire a laser cannon. It is very fast and very powerful."

"Oh! God!!!"

Red Robin's shout came from the communicator, and several people in the other plane immediately became nervous. Red Hood connected the communication and shouted over there: "What's wrong? What's wrong?! Tim?!"

"Unfamiliar electromagnetic signals interfered with the operation of the aircraft!" Red Robin's voice came intermittently from the channel, "They found... interference... sizzling... out of control... sizzling -!"

The voice immediately turned into an extremely high-pitched noise, and the red hood immediately turned the plane around, but it was already too late. He watched helplessly as the plane behind him got closer and closer to the shield.

Bruce's eyes widened and he shouted: "Stop it quickly! Once it hits the shield, it will be shot down!"

Needless to say, Red Hood also controlled the plane to fall rapidly, hoping to use the collision method to make Red Robin's plane farther away from the shield. Even if it made an emergency landing or crashed, it would be better than being hit by a laser cannon.

But Red Robin's plane was completely out of control, and crashed straight into the shield as if it was being controlled by something. Before it could completely hit it, an extremely dazzling laser shot came over, and it shot through the Bat fighter's body with a bang. wing.

The plane spun and fell. At the same time, several people on the plane saw a group of aliens coming towards this direction. They had obviously planned it.

Bruce immediately thought that Darkseid always used kidnapping. If he wanted to threaten Batman, fighting in Gotham City was not the most efficient way. He never wanted to let Robin go.

The plane Bruce was on landed smoothly, and the three people rushed out immediately, but only the wreckage of the Bat fighter was seen where the plane crashed, and the aliens and Red Robin disappeared.

Bruce estimated the distance from here to the shield and said, "They can't go back that fast. We have to catch up with them."

But unfortunately, there was a forest here, and the aliens didn't leave any traces here. Red Hood said decisively: "You guys chase ahead, I'll fly the plane to see if I can find their traces."

So he turned back, Bruce and Nightwing chased ahead, they saw some traces left by the aliens ahead, but the traces showed that they were divided into two groups, it is very likely that one group took Red Robin back, and the other group went to find them elsewhere.

They chased one by one, Bruce guessed that the aliens couldn't pass through the shield at will, they should also have a designated door, so he searched around the shield while keeping a distance from the shield.

The trace disappeared in the woods in front of the shield, Bruce continued to walk forward and found that there was a canyon in front, and the shield spread to the bottom of the canyon, which was most likely the entrance.

Bruce stood on the edge of the canyon and looked down, he was carefully searching for traces of aliens.

Suddenly a black shadow appeared behind him, bang, he felt completely weightless, and an extremely heavy figure hugged him and fell straight off the cliff.

Bang! ! !

Bruce fell heavily to the ground, smoke and frightened birds rose at the same time.

The cliff was very high, and the man pressed him down to the ground. He felt that at least two of his ribs were broken, his arm was also broken, and a strong smell of blood surged from his throat.

Before he could spit out a breath, a needle was stabbed in his neck. In the blurred vision, Bruce saw a pair of familiar boots.

It was Red Robin.

"Sorry, Bruce, but you can't treat Batman like this, I have to save him... Only I can save him..."

In the laboratory, a finger covered with black gauntlets gently pressed the button, and a wisp of green smoke came out of the black box of the crashed Batfighter, and it was completely destroyed.

Yes, a madman, antisocial personality, mental sadist... but lived twenty more years.

Buy it and leave it. Buy it and leave it.
