I have considered countless times whether my behavior is really normal.
Am I affected by those Batman memories?
Was it because of their influence that I changed my ways and became more and more crazy?
Look what I'm going to do now.
I am going to intercept a nuclear bomb, completely voluntarily, premeditated, and deliberately careless.
——It's broken, and it has completely transformed into the shape of Batman. That mask with pointed ears is really damn magical.
——Hell, what kind of lunatic would envision himself receiving a nuclear bomb physically?
Just like a person standing on the edge of a cliff, secretly expecting to slip and fall?
This is definitely a pathological self-destructive tendency.
Ha.
So now, you start to question your motives again? Your body has made all kinds of preparations honestly, and then you start to doubt your own mind?
Don't be ridiculous.
You say to yourself:
There is no turning back when the bow is drawn.
No matter what you say, this is my decision...Chen Tao's decision.
I decided to intercept the nuclear bomb myself in the worst possible situation, when all my cards were exhausted and I had no choice but to risk being blown up.
Now is the time to follow through on my decision.
So that predictable fear shocks your whole body like a pacemaker.
"I have modified the design of the nuclear bomb. It is no longer a weapon for ground strikes...it is a weapon made for you--"
Bain said.
The world is distorted before your eyes, and Bane's voice is stretched and deformed in your ears.
You heard Bain say:
"Its radar is set up to track Batman."
And you know you are Batman.
"It's really terrible." Lucius's voice rang in the earphones: "I understand what Bain means, that is to say, this nuclear bomb is now being launched according to the established trajectory.
If we ignore it, it will level the metropolis, and if you want to push it out of orbit, throwing it out of the earth is impossible, because this nuclear bomb is set up to track you, and once you get close to it, it will
It will explode!"
His words were a little confusing, and his language processing was not carried out by his brain, but at least he managed to explain the current situation clearly.
Then the butler Alfred's voice sounded in the channel:
"Master, I heard the general situation. You don't need to rely on yourself."
His face with a candle head hood appeared on the two-dimensional projection screen, and behind him were two sharp claws standing stupidly.
Young Robin stood safely behind him, with all crises and dangers far away from him.
Alfred's tone was very calm, he looked very reasonable, and he even had a relaxed smile on his face:
"We must have other ways. We can also think of other ways. For example, drones——"
"Bain named me." Chen Tao told him in a low voice: "Would he not have thought of this? It is impossible for a drone to adapt to an environment outside the atmosphere. There is no doubt that this is specially prepared for me.
Big gift."
Alfred was silent for a moment, and then said quickly:
"Then there are other ways, the human bat, the human-faced bat, he can also fly!"
So you don’t care about the life or death of the man-bat? If you don’t have a nano body to face a nuclear bomb explosion, you will definitely die.
Although Chen Tao doesn't mind finding a scapegoat, the most important thing is...
"With the flying speed of a human-faced bat, how can it possibly catch up with the missile?"
"Then we can still look for it..."
Chen Tao took a deep breath.
"Alfred, I expected this situation, okay?"
He told Alfred: "It's nothing more than facing the explosion of a nuclear bomb."
He organizes language:
"I have some special abilities, Nano-Batman or something."
Alfred responded in a low voice: "I know, sir. Although you didn't take the initiative to explain them to me, and I wouldn't ask intentionally, there is no doubt that I know."
Chen Tao continued:
"I have envisioned the scene of a nuclear bomb exploding. As long as I can transform into a hybrid of a car and a nanobody at the same time, plus the amber gold of the owl bat to protect my life, even in the face of a nuclear bomb - our chief scientist once helped me calculate
If I exceed the relevant values, I won’t die. At most, I will be weakened.”
He stretched out his hand, and one hand turned into the black sand of the broken bat, while the other hand condensed into green dinosaur claws, and then smoothly turned into the tires of the car under his control.
His temples throbbed with pain, but this time...
These two overlapping transformations did not collapse.
Lucius's voice confirmed from the side: "Alfred, Bruce didn't ask me to tell you before, mainly because he was afraid that you would worry, and this is just a plan for the worst case scenario, although now... well...
”
He said in a dull tone: "This worst-case scenario has become a reality."
Alfred was silent for a while.
"You never told me before that you thought about taking a nuclear bomb."
He suddenly turned his head and looked at Robin standing next to him: "Tim, you know this, right? Dudu didn't tell me? Dudu didn't dare to tell me?"
He didn't even call him Master Tim like usual.
Tim responded with silence.
Alfred turned his head and said dejectedly:
"Have you tried it?"
Chen Tao was speechless.
"Oh my gosh, you haven't even tried, have you? You're not sure you can survive a nuclear bomb."
"It's not that exaggerated." Chen Tao told him: "According to numerical calculations, as long as I am not at the center, the shock wave and heat energy are not enough to destroy me. Of course, radiation is also ineffective against me..."
Chen Tao wasted his words for a while, and then suddenly realized that these could not dispel Alfred's worries, so he stopped explaining and finally said:
"I'm sorry, Alfred. I'm afraid I have to go. After all, this is Batman's responsibility."
Chen Tao can clearly hear every word he says.
"And I am——"

"No! No! You can't!!! You are not him! He is already dead! He is finally dead! He finally got his wish and died together with the monsters in exhaustion!"
Alfred finally broke out.
His whole body was shaking, and he could no longer maintain the forced smile.
"This city gave you back to me! Gotham gave me back the little boy named Bruce Wayne who died with his parents in Crime Alley!"
"You finally let it go, you can finally sleep, you are finally at peace - my child!"
He cautiously reached out his hand, as if he was touching Bruce's face through the screen, as if he were touching some fragile porcelain.
"My fate is so rough, my child is covered with wounds! You have suffered so much! You don't have to, you don't need to——"
He clenched his fists, as if he could desperately grab his blues, as if Chen Tao would turn into a bat and fly away in the next second.
"Please, damn it! You don't have to be a bat monster in black anymore!"
"..."
The old man seemed to have exhausted his last bit of strength. His legs softened and he collapsed to the ground.
"Please..."
"..."
"There are other people...other people can go. You don't owe this city anything, you don't owe anyone. You should live a normal life, this city, or other cities, what they are like has nothing to do with you.
."
He let out two indistinct sobs.
Under the light, half of Chen Tao's face is hidden in shadow.
"The nuclear bomb exploded and the world was destroyed. This... these are not your responsibility."
He said:
"You promised to retire with me."
It's always been like this, it's happened too many times - the son of Gotham put on the shirt again, the dead bat monster came back to life, and he...
To once again watch Bruce Wayne on the verge of death. For Alfred, this is undoubtedly the most cruel torture in his life.
Regarding this...
I apologize deeply.
"Alfred..."
"I am Batman."
Chen Tao always felt that these words sounded like destiny.
They looked at each other speechlessly.
Lucius's voice also sounded from Chen Tao's ears at this time: "We detected it, that nuclear bomb!"
He said sadly: "But we no longer have interceptor missiles. So..."
"I know."
The Dark Knight took a deep breath, paused heavily, and sighed. When he raised his head, Alfred saw the burning fire roaring in his eyes.
He is familiar with that look, he is too familiar with that look.
That kind of look that belongs exclusively to Batman, he has seen this look countless times in the past years——
