Chapter 1644 No time to die (34)
The Harley Quinn standing at the table was about to speak, but Batman stretched out a hand to signal her to silence, then pointed to Harley next to the Harley Quinn and said, "You, tell me, what is this?" What's the matter?"
Harley was about to open her mouth when Batman cut her off and said, "If you want to avoid it or make up a story, I'll write to Dr. Rodriguez right now and tell him what a mess you've made with me. .”
Harry closed his open mouth, pursed his lips again, then shrugged helplessly and said: "Very well, the threat is effective, but I can't understand many of their ideas. If I'm wrong, You still have to trouble me, so I'll just say what I know."
Batman nodded slightly, and Harry folded his arms and leaned against the edge of the table, sighed pretending to be mature, looked at Batman and said, "Have you ever thought that, in the eyes of your adopted sons, , 'Being Batman' or 'Save Gotham,' which should they believe in more? Which do you want them to believe in more?"
Batman didn't speak, but from his gaze, he was lost in thought. He was always extra cautious when it came to issues related to the Robins. Even when facing the young Harley Quinn, he couldn't give a rash s answer.
While he was still thinking about it, Harley said first: "A long time ago, at least before they came to our universe, your Robins thought that these two things were actually the same thing, as long as they inherited Take your mantle as Batman and save Gotham."
Batman pursed his lips tightly, but he didn't want to say the negative answer. Even if the Robins weren't here now, maybe Harry would go back and tell them.
Does Batman want to save Gotham?Of course he thought about it, did he take practical actions to save Gotham?Of course there are, so does he know in his heart that Gotham cannot be saved?
It can only be said that he had a glimmer of hope when he was young, but as he got to know the darkness of Gotham more and more, he also gradually understood that the darkness of Gotham has a deeper reason, which is beyond the reach of any authority. solved puzzles.
And there is a constant topic in the Bat family, that is, who can become the successor of Batman?
Batman also knows how much his Robins are obsessed with this issue. With the long-term companionship and dependence on each other, the motivation to become Batman is the original justice that wants to save Gotham. It's hard to tell whether it's because of his heart, or simply wanting to gain Batman's approval and surpass everyone else.
And Harry went on.
"I can see that they took it seriously before, or they actually knew that becoming Batman might not save Gotham, because you didn't succeed either, but there is always hope in life, there must be something This belief underpins them learning all sorts of crime-fighting techniques from you."
"But when they came to my universe, they found that there was no Batman in Gotham in this universe, but it was much better than Gotham in their universe. Of course they would think about why."
"Why is Gotham saved without Batman? Besides Batman, who else can save Gotham? Is there any necessary connection between becoming Batman's successor and saving Gotham?"
"When they separate the two things of being Batman and saving Gotham, another question naturally arises. If you can save Gotham without being Batman, how do you do it?"
Batman turned his head slightly and glanced out the window. There was a faint sound of gunfire in the distance. The streets of Midtown not far from here were full of gunfire. Gotham hadn't seen such a scene for many years.
"Is this how they figured it out? To kill?"
"Batman, I want to ask you, which one would you choose if one person died today or 1000 people would die in the future?"
Batman turned his head back and stared at Harley with very Batman-like eyes. The guy who used to love to let him do multiple choice questions is now staying in the Batcave eating snacks and watching jokes. Here is another philosophical question The problem is coming.
"I choose to save one thousand and one people."
"Yeah, that's because you're Batman." Harley nodded, didn't question whether Batman could do it at all, but admitted it graciously, and then said: "Save one today, and save one tomorrow." One thousand, save 1 in the future, with your force, wealth, and technology, there is nothing you can't do."
"Then let me change the question. Do you really think that among your Robins, there is someone who can perfectly inherit your mantle? Can Dick's righteous heart do it? Can Jason's power do it? Can Tim's wisdom do it? Can Mian's blood work? Is there really another you in this world?"
Batman looked at Harley silently, not as if he didn't want to answer, but just waiting for her next words, and soon Harley asked and answered by himself.
"I think, probably not. You must think so too. If you can really pick out a perfect heir, there will be no Bat Family. Each of them is just a part of you. There is no second in this world." Batman."
"When they really realize this, they will understand that this path is not going to work, because even you, the unique and unique Batman, could not save Gotham."
"They may be planning to go the other way."
Harley's tone was accompanied by a soft sigh, unlike her who was mature and wise, Batman could see that she was substituting someone, perhaps this was the girl's unique talent.
"Is the clown in your universe like this?" Harley Quinn tilted her head towards Harley, her eyes flickered, as if recalling, which made Batman sure that Harley Quinn is because of this unique The talent will fall into madness.
"Which way do they want to go?" Very rarely, Batman is really asking, because the action logic of the Robins he has learned so far is a bit fragmented and cannot form a complete logical chain, and it can even be said that It's a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, Batman is eager to know how they want to save Gotham.
"This is the part I don't know." Harry rubbed his chin and said, "I can only tell you that their motives are probably like this. If I continue to substituting their ideas, my idea of doing business and selling arms will be completely different." It’s hard to be that bright.”
"This is the thought I got from Professor Schiller for a long time before I found a professional to replace it in his tower. If I accidentally lost it, he would definitely not let me go in for a second time. gone."
"If you have also entered that tower, you will definitely be impressed by him, he is called greed..."
"You don't need to say it." Batman waved his cloak and turned to leave. He had to talk to the Robins in person to find out what their current dangerous behavior was based on.
The group of amateur businessmen and officials couldn't figure out the situation on the battlefield, but Batman was not. He only needed to stand on a tall building and take a quick glance to find the eye of the storm, which was exceptionally calm at this moment.
A black shadow kept jumping between the buildings in Midtown. Spiderman, who was stuck to the surface of the building, let go of one hand and looked down at the fierce fire and situation between the streets.
"Jesus, where did they get so many weapons? And why are they fighting in their own city?"
Spider-Man was puzzled. He had also seen gangsters fighting in New York City, especially around the Hell's Kitchen gold merger site. There were often some small and medium-sized gangsters creating chaos in order to grab the site.
But at most, a dozen gang members hid behind barricades or corners and shot each other coldly, and the most violent one was nothing more than holding a shotgun and blasting the door of the shop on the opposite site.
But now, the large-scale fire or small-scale war that broke out in Gotham Midtown has completely broken away from the scope of street fighting. Meat grinder vibe.
After the initial scramble for me and you scramble, most people also saw that they had to have a position first before they could defend and fight back.
To carve out a corner that can stand in such a huge chaos, it usually requires several forces to unite, relying on the favorable terrain of a certain street, arrange barricades on both sides of the street, dig trenches at the end of the street, and arm trucks way to transport resources inward.
Naturally, the local residents within the range did not have enough food. Although their weapons were not that advanced, the locals naturally had a better understanding of the local terrain, and outsiders had to negotiate with them if they wanted to enclose them in the territory.
The vast majority of people did not choose to resist desperately, because in the current situation of chaos everywhere, it is very important to find a benefactor who can provide weapons and supplies stably, which can ensure that they have enough firepower to guard their property.
In this way, the airborne faction and the locals hit it off, one contributed money and the other contributed. The behind-the-scenes of the interest group provided guns, ammunition, food and supplies, and the locals with combat effectiveness formed armed violent groups to carve up territory and rob profits.
Therefore, Spider-Man standing on a high place only saw one after another fully armed positions, and the scene of constantly attacking the positions or sending troops from the positions to attack others.
This situation made it impossible for him to try to persuade him to fight. The shop owner who was guarding his shop with a gun just now turned around and rushed out with a group of people to rob other people's shops. The leader of the convoy, who was fighting violently, turned his head and ran to the side of the road to set up a truck to hijack the car.
Spider-Man swung all the way, and watched countless such scenes, but in the end, he found the source of the storm. Spider-Man came to the center of the Neville family's residence, and found the only red man who stayed behind. Robin.
When Spiderman opened the balcony door and walked in, Red Robin waited on the sofa for a long time, until Spiderman walked across the sofa, his spider sensor was already deafeningly loud.
"I've heard of you for a long time, Spider-Man."
And Batman, who arrived at almost the same time but stayed on the top of the building opposite, felt a chill down his back for some reason when he saw Red Robin's expression, even though he didn't have a spider sensor.
