Red Hood tried to remotely control the counterattack weapons he had placed in the room, but there was no response.
"Stop trying your counterattack weapons." Then he heard Batman's voice: "I have already dismantled all your little toys."
Jason's hands began to touch his waist.
"Don't move."
Batman looked deeply into the void in front of him. He didn't even look at Jason, but the intimidating feeling like a thorn in his back made Jason dare not draw his gun anymore.
Jason slowly backed away. It was a family tradition of bats, and all bats did not like to engage in encounters.
He thought as quickly as possible how to escape from Batman.
But why do you want to stare at Batman's face?
Run away quickly. It's obvious that Bruce has come prepared. Jason knows that he can't defeat Batman who has been planning for a long time here.
According to his understanding of Batman, if he appears here, it means that he is fully prepared. As a prey, shouldn't what he should do at this time be to try his best to escape immediately?
But why?
Jason felt like he was really crazy.
"You should know that I am different from those criminals, and I am different from those scum."
Red Hood himself didn't know why he had to explain such a sentence, but if he explained it more specifically, he would reveal all his plans.
It's obvious that he can't tell Batman his plans.
So he immediately shut up after saying this.
Jason's body slowly arched up. He retracted his hands and pinched the cuffs. He hid the venom inside his coat. He only needed to flick the switch on the cuffs to inject the Titan Venom steroid into himself.
in the body. Although the dosage is not high enough, the duration and effect are far from Bane, but at least it can improve one's combat effectiveness in a short period of time.
He was ready to fight Batman.
He knew that Batman would attack him without saying a word. Batman's attitude towards criminals has always been ruthless. In addition to not killing people, he would do the most horrific things to criminals that anyone could think of.
Of course, most of the time he would not vent his emotions and beat the prisoners, but would directly break their limbs.
He is always as ruthless as a scalpel and completes his goals as accurately as he completes his work, unlike himself.
But what surprised Jason was that Batman didn't pounce on him as he expected.
"I know you're not a criminal. So, let me guess what you'd do."
Batman finally looked at him.
"You worked with Bane. But you never considered working with this criminal at all, even though your goal with him was to defeat Superman and me. So you betrayed him without hesitation. No, or never
You've never been with him in the first place. You're still as angry as ever."
Batman guessed correctly.
Jason thought.
He felt himself trembling slightly.
past.
The information revealed in the other party's words made his whole body tremble.
"You originally planned to find an opportunity to murder him, but Bane's plan to deal with Superman and Batman made you change your mind. You suddenly discovered that this plan can attract countless villains to gather together, and you may be able to commit the most heinous crimes among them.
All the people were killed.”
He heard Batman say:
"So, you revised your plan again. You cooperated with Bain and successfully attracted a large number of villains. Then before everything started, you instilled in Bain's mind that these recruited villains might be competition.
opponents, and provided him with the weapons that would target Superman's villains."
One by one, sentence by sentence, Batman told everything about what he had done and his plan as if he were peeling off the cocoon. Jason couldn't believe that the other party could do this so easily.
Batman's voice is still ringing:
"This will greatly enhance the opponent's confidence and prompt him to make more radical choices. Then you will instigate him. After successfully defeating Superman and Batman, the dispute between them will immediately break out. In order to compete for
Fighting over control of Superman and Batman."
"But you're still not sure how to draw chestnuts from the fire."
Chen Tao said: "So you introduced a foreign aid."
He hooked his fingers, and the monitor next to him opened on its own for no apparent reason, allowing Jason to see Blake's image on it.
"You discovered Black, a team of murderous heroes authorized by the government. In order to reduce Superman's influence, Amanda Waller is building them into tomorrow's stars. Although their thinking is somewhat fascist, you still like them.
means, intending to use their force."
"You have deeply analyzed the personality of their leader Black, and concluded that as long as he listens to Bane's plan, he will definitely choose to wait and wait for more villains to gather before taking action together."
"Therefore, you deliberately exposed your whereabouts in the dark world, attracting Black and others to find the head of the Void Bar, and then calculated the time to confirm that he would definitely see the birth of your gambling game."
"I guess you even have contact with Amanda Waller to counter Black..."
Chen Tao said it one by one, and then slowly clapped his hands again and again.
"Wonderful, interlocking. You make everyone laugh and applaud."
He is worthy of being Batman's son.
Chen Tao added in his heart.
"But what makes you think Bane would know nothing?"
"He may not know it's you, and he doesn't know exactly how far the plan was leaked, but Bain is not an easy opponent to deal with. I don't believe he would not have discovered Black's existence. Do you think you can use Black to encircle and eliminate Bain and
Those super villains he summoned? Maybe you are the one who is surrounded and suppressed."
"Don't have any contact with Black anymore." Jason heard Batman say: "I have hacked the anonymous account you used to directly contact him. Now this account is mine, and you can treat it as my request to Black and
His Jiying Alliance must have leaked the location of the Nihility Bar..."
"Jason Todd."
Jason paused for half a second.
Then he took off his red hood and threw it to the ground.
"So you already know my identity?"
He heard Batman say:
"Yes, that's right. I recognized you when you and Siwa first appeared in my field of vision. I'm not so stupid that I can't recognize my own Robin."
Jason gritted his teeth, and then he whipped out two guns and pointed them at Batman:
"You are wrong, Batman. You guessed most of my plan correctly, but you missed the most important part. I am no longer your Robin."
His mood became a little excited:
"The day I was beaten to death by a clown with a crowbar and crawled out of a tombstone, I was no longer the same Jason Todd."
"I have no plan to let Black kill all the villains. I will let Bane die, and then Red Hood will be the leader of the villains, leading them against Black and completely becoming their leader."
Jason said:
"There is no end to criminals, and there is no end to evil. Bruce, you have been fighting crime in Gotham for how many years. Do you think I don't know what you asked Superman to do in Gotham?"
"Do you think that letting Superman use his strength to suppress those criminals can completely end crime? This is impossible! The most profitable businesses are written in the criminal law. As long as committing crimes can obtain profits that are thousands of times and hundreds of times higher than those who abide by the law, then
There will always be people who take desperate risks, and there will always be people who pursue these interests! Sin and justice are like light and darkness, day and night, and sin can never be eliminated!"
"Therefore, I will no longer fight evil, I will control evil."
He said: "Those villains will become my strength. With their support, I can reshape and even unify the dark world of North America, and then gradually encroach on the South. We will control the drug business. Under my control,
They will never go to schools, children or people who are keeping themselves clean."
"Pornography, gambling, drugs, all evils will be curbed and safely supervised under gray rules. Except for those who are willing to fall, no new people will be poisoned by these evils."
"That was what the Roman Falcone thought in his youth!"
(Roman: Gotham’s early villain, the gang godfather who unified Gotham’s gangs)
Jason heard Batman say: "If you really did that, it means you were just ruling the underworld through coercion and murder, which is no different from what the Romans did."
Then he saw Batman stretching out a hand to him: "It's not too late, we can still repair this relationship."
Jason raised his gun.
They had broken down their talks, and Jason knew this very clearly. It was time for a fight to break out. He was not sure he could win.
Then the next second, he heard what Batman said.
The world was blurry at this moment, and Batman's voice seemed to come from the bottom of the sea, distant and trance-like.
He heard the other party say:
"I love you, Jason."
Jason thought he heard wrongly, and lowered his gun's muzzle.
"I'm sorry for you. Your death is the biggest regret and failure in my Batman career, and it makes me heartbroken."
"You can't imagine how happy I was when I found out you were alive."
Jason staggered back a few steps.
He heard Batman say: "I know you have reasons to hate me, and you have every right to hate me. I'm sorry. But there are some things I've always regretted not being able to tell you in person, but now I can finally tell you, my
child."
"I love you."
"Stop it, Jason. What you did is not what my Robin would do. My Robin..." Jason heard Batman say slowly: "He is a bright and righteous hero, he will not
Hanging with criminals. My Robin, my Jason..."
"I wish you could come home with me."
Strong emotions surged into Jason's brain, and he tried his best to keep his voice from sounding like he was choking.
"No! Liar."
He said:
"Do you think it's because of this? Because you failed to save my life? I don't know what can cloud your judgment more, your guilt, or your pedantic sense of morality."
"Bruce, I forgive you for not saving me. I have forgiven you a long time ago. But why? Why exactly? The Joker is still alive? You let him go? Time and time again?"
"Do you know how angry I was when I learned from Penguin that the Joker was still alive?"
"You ignore all the evil deeds the Joker has committed so far, and blindly and stupidly ignore the large cemeteries he has filled, the hundreds of victims, and the countless lives and deaths. Do you know?"
Jason finally choked up.
"I thought... I thought my death would stop you from letting him harm others. If it was you who was beaten to a bloody pulp by him, if it was you he killed, I would only do one thing.
That means digging three feet into the ground to dig out this executioner who is full of crimes, and then send him to hell!"
Then Jason saw Batman stand up and approach him step by step, ignoring his gun.
"What do you want to do? Bruce - don't you have the guts to answer me? Bruce? Your moral code won't allow you to do that. It's too difficult to cross that line?"
He saw Batman grasp the barrel of his gun and then take the gun away from him.
Crunch, creak, creak, creak —
The barrel of the gun was bent by Batman, and Jason's eyes showed infinite disappointment.
He raised his head and tried his best not to let tears fall.
"I didn't mean to kill the Penguin, the Ventriloquist, or Dent, or Mr. Freeze. I had the opportunity to kill them when I invaded the Batcave in Gotham, but I didn't do it."
"I'm just saying kill the Joker, after all these years. This villain, kill him."
Jason was a little incoherent:
"I said kill him, just kill him. Kill him because...because...he caused us to be separated forever."
Jason lowered his head. He knew that Batman would not break his principles, and nothing he said could impress Batman.
He just felt very sad, very sad.
Then he heard Batman say:
"Okay. But we don't use guns."
Batman snapped his fingers, and in that moment, the entire room was illuminated by lights.
Jason saw the wall next to him flip over, and the classic storage design commonly seen in bat bases was revealed again, revealing two crystal coffins.
And lying among them is...
clown.
And there are two.
Jason's brain stopped functioning.
He turned to look at the display screen next to him, and a video started playing on it.
Batman in the video walked to a crystal coffin, he pulled the joystick, and then the clown...
Jason suddenly realized that after his death, Batman had killed the Joker for him. But the Jokers were not one person, but a group of people.
He saw a creepy smile on Batman's face and walked up to one of the clowns.
The other party was asleep, like a cold corpse.
"Shooting clowns to death may cause some unexpected bad consequences, so I recommend using this tool specifically designed to kill clowns."
Jason heard Batman say in a tone as nervous as epilepsy: "Convenient, fast, permanently sealed, eliminating all virus risks."
"Gahba, the clown will be so hot!"
Jason watched helplessly as the other party pulled on the joystick. In an instant, after a burst of laser light, the clown turned into thin pieces in front of him.
"Okay! Killed another clown!"
Jason saw a sickly and twisted smile on Batman's face, and saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth.
The Batman in the video on the screen also pulled the joystick along with the real Batman, and the Joker on the screen also turned into pieces.
Batman grabbed the joystick and made a crazy sound:
"Okay, we still have a clown to kill. I caught two last time. Jason, I'll kill it for you right away..."
Jason hugged Batman's arm: "Stop. That's okay."
Jason wiped the cold sweat from his head and said righteously:
"Don't kill. We are superheroes and we have a rule not to kill."
