"Sorry, this is one of the gifts I brought here." Peter shrugged, looked at Jason and said, "This is a specialty of my hometown. They are kind-hearted parasitic beings, or in other words, whether they are kind or not is
Determined by their last host."
"I'm sorry, but Jason, you couldn't hide your actions of establishing the base from Batman. You should know that you can't hide it from him, right?"
Jason did not rush forward. He shrank in the corner in horror, stared at Batman and said, "You want to monitor me from the inside of my brain, huh?! You...you..."
When a parent breaks the door lock of a child's room without consent, the child will be angry, but when a parent opens the child's skull and implants a positioning chip, the child will probably only be afraid.
Jason was a little scared now.
The so-called separation of three days, when you look at it with admiration, what has Batman experienced in the year of his absence?
"But it's not over yet." Peter continued.
"Although it is indeed Batman's plan to let the fear gas disaster break out, he needs to take extra insurance."
"So even if he knew in advance that you were going to cooperate with the Scarecrow, he didn't stop you, because as long as you are around, all the Scarecrow's actions cannot escape his sight."
"Despicable! Batman! You actually use such despicable methods as a spy! You are simply a disgrace to superheroes!" Scarecrow gritted his teeth and cursed.
"But Batman also knows that if he pushes you too hard and you detonate poisonous gas throughout the city, it will still cause a certain amount of chaos, so after knowing your whereabouts, he did not immediately go to arrest you."
"On the contrary, he asked me to pretend to be kidnapped by you... Oh, by the Arkham Knights who were with you. By the way, the kidnapping process was due to the symbiote modifying the memory."
Peter looked at Jason and said, "If you think about it carefully, you should be able to recall that I strangled you with the spider silk, not you who knocked me out."
Article 8 of Schiller's Law of Infamy: Facts remain unchanged, time is confused.
In fact, it was Peter who put the symbiote into Arkham Knight after he fainted, but Peter's expression was that the symbiote was actually in Jason's body early on, and it was Batman who put it in.
To monitor Jason's actions.
Jason was indeed fooled. He leaned against the wall with his hands on the ground, looked at Batman stiffly, and said in disbelief: "You modified my memory?!"
"Because otherwise, it would be difficult to fool Scarecrow." Peter shrugged, walked back behind Batman and said, "And this trick is really good, Scarecrow was fooled."
"I escaped halfway, and of course I got instructions from Batman, because this would make Scarecrow further lose confidence, make him more and more impatient, and start to feel scared."
"Without all the hostages in the city, we can still count on the kidnapped hostages. But if we don't have the kidnapped hostages, we must not be caught up by Batman, let alone caught by him. That's what you think, right?
?”
Peter spread his arms and said: "Look, you were caught by him, and then what? Batman doesn't kill people. You should have thought that even if you were put in prison by Batman, you would have a chance to escape instead of dying on the spot.
.”
"Even if Batman doesn't kill you, he will definitely hold back when he does. Then you will have the opportunity to use fear gas to escape from under his nose again. There is no need to panic."
"But this is the pressure Batman wants to put on you. As long as you focus on escaping, you won't have time to threaten other people."
"And I can gather the remnants of the Bat Family in the city under his instructions and not give you and other villains the opportunity to kidnap the people around him, such as Barbara, Gordon, Nightwing..."
"They were all knocked unconscious by me while you were busy escaping with Poison Ivy, and then moved to other safe places in a truck. When only you and Batman are left in this city, you will no longer
There is no advantage."
The Penguin shrank his neck. He knew that Peter was right. The way most Gotham villains interfere with Batman is to kidnap the people around him. This method has been tried and true.
But at the same time, he thought, if Batman had realized this a long time ago and had the ability to transfer early like this time, then why didn't he do it earlier?
Or is this actually a trap? The Penguin frowned, making them think that kidnapping hostages was the final insurance, so they would not evacuate Gotham even when the situation was unfavorable, but would accompany him to play this game to the end.
, and finally played himself into the Batcave.
The Penguin covered his eyes and thought that Batman was more cunning than he thought. This trick of playing hard to get made him lose his most basic vigilance. In fact, when the disaster and chaos promised by the Scarecrow did not appear, he should have
Withdrawn.
But the Scarecrow still didn't understand. He grabbed the railing and pushed his head outwards, as if he was going to bite Batman. He looked at Batman and said: "You took advantage of the conflict between Penguin and me to sneak attack on us..."
"
"Then have you ever thought about why you had a conflict with Penguin?" Peter was still hiding behind Batman, but he just stuck his head out and said, "I can tell you, it's because Batman asked me to pretend to be you.
The students found Penguin, cut open his chest, and stuffed two concentrated fear gas capsules into his lungs."
The Scarecrow's eyes widened and he turned to look at the Penguin next to him. The Penguin rolled his eyes and pulled his shirt down hard, and the Scarecrow saw the marks of the incision on it.
Directly insert fear gas concentrated capsules into the body?
The scarecrow with professional knowledge immediately thought of the consequences of doing so, and the effect may be 10 to 20 times that of oral administration.
And not only the burst speed, no matter how strong the fear gas inhaled from the outside is, it will only affect people's sanity. In severe cases, it will only make people fall into a state of extreme confusion and start attacking others indiscriminately.
However, the high concentration of fear venom directly participates in the pulmonary circulation, and can completely burn the human brain in a few tenths of a second, leaving either a complete idiot, or a vegetative state without any ability to move at all, which can be called a new era.
Frontal lobotomy surgery.
For a moment, Scarecrow looked at Batman with a look of horror.
No, who among us is the villain? Who is the super criminal? Who is the mastermind behind the horrific gas disaster?!
"That's nonsense." Batman commented.
"Ah, here we go again." Peter raised his hands and lowered them. He shook his head in annoyance and said, "Yes, the Penguin was reading the manuscript on the big screen. I added that part myself, but this is better for numbing."
Scarecrow, isn't it?"
"This will make him think that you will definitely go to find trouble with the Penguin first, thus letting down his guard. Only then will he want to run to the Stagg Group's airship to capture the traitorous Stagg, instead of finding a place to hide.
That’s not bad either.”
Peter walked out from behind Batman again, came to Jason's cage, and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't deliberately make up the news about your death, but what I said to you later was what Batman asked me to say.
Yes, don’t blame me.”
Jason looked at him in disbelief.
"It's not hard to understand. If you didn't get so angry that you collapsed and fainted, why would you be here? You don't expect Batman to go all over the city to catch you, do you?"
"As far as I know, he's not such an ineffective person, and you should know him better than I do, right?"
Jason's chest began to rise and fall, and the anger that came out with his breath almost took shape.
But the root of anger is always fear.
Batman was surprised to find that Jason didn't rush up to question him like before.
He got angry and sat motionless.
Batman was concerned about Jason's every abnormal behavior, so he took a step forward slightly.
The three people in the cage all took a step back.
Jason had shrunk to the corner of the cage and had nowhere to hide. He just stiffly pressed his back against the wall.
When he raised his eyes to look at Batman, Batman actually saw in his eyes an unprecedented, extremely frightening look, as well as the kind of pleading that came from the desire to survive.
Like finding a fragile crack in a thorny stone, Batman thought, is he afraid of me?
But he was actually thinking, is he just starting to be afraid of me now?
Is he just starting to feel scared now?
If so, where did his unprovoked irritability come from?
If not, how long did his fear last and how deep was it? How many times was he deeply disappointed that he had not noticed it?
Batman remembered the words written on the wall "I trusted you so much".
That may not be the portrayal of a moment of anger, but the echo of a long period of disappointment.
"That's it." Peter said again: "You two started fighting, and Batman subdued you without much effort. He fainted, and Batman brought him back directly."
Then Peter turned to the table behind him and said, "Of course there's the Joker problem, which is the most difficult thing to solve, but that's not really a problem."
Peter turned his head and used his sensitive spider sense to look at the place where the Joker's hallucination appeared within Batman's field of vision, and then said: "I have a way to get magic energy to resurrect you, but no one can say for sure about magic."
"Perhaps in your experiment, you will be you after being resurrected in the body of any clown virus-infected person, but if a new body is resurrected as a clown, and it is resurrected using magic, then the new clown will still be
Could it be you?"
"Maybe we will have two clowns." Peter sighed and said, "Although you are in Batman's body, I'm afraid you can only watch other clowns playing games with Batman."
"Or...you make Batman not want to play games."
The voice of Professor Schiller that rang in Peter's ears overlapped with Peter's. It was obvious that only the Joker, who knew Batman best, could put a perfect end to this exam paper.
Peter stared at the clown in the void and repeated Professor Schiller's low tone.
"You may have discovered that even if you haven't paid attention to Batman, he has changed a lot, and it has been a profound and principled change."
“Where does this change come from?”
This question almost immediately attracted the attention of several people present, including Batman himself.
"A father loses his child." Peter lowered his shoulders and said in a slightly sad tone: "This is a great misfortune for any emotional creature."
"And this tragedy has not been comforted and redeemed in time." Peter looked at Jason and said: "Every street, every house, every time he sees the empty monitor screen, it is like a knife of disappointment, in his heart.
A scar is carved on the soul.”
"In the course of this year, his soul was completely chopped into pieces and then reassembled. The one who survived was still Batman, but a completely new version of him."
"It was you, the Joker, who made all this happen, but in this story you are just a despicable supporting character. What shaped the new Batman was not the disaster you caused, but his own family affection and love."
"It was his strong affection for Jason that caused him to be cut into pieces by the sharp blade of guilt he had polished. It was also his hope that Jason could still survive, which allowed him to use his great love to reshape himself."
Batman felt himself being choked by these words.
Then the things in those words wanted to break out of this cold and stiff body, and he never thought that one day he would be like this, knowing that he would bleed and shed tears, but he would be happy with it and feel warm.
Batman unconsciously opened the door of the cage in front of Jason. This time he only saw him as a wounded child and picked him up from the ground.
Peter behind Batman looked at the nothingness in front of him. He seemed to really see the Joker and saw his unbelievable and crazy expression.
Then no longer needing Schiller's guidance, Spider-Man spoke his mind.
"In this near-desperate disaster, Batman will reshape himself and realize more deeply how such strong family affection and great love occupy an important position in his life."
"The lost Batman will understand what he must never lose, and he will let go of trivial matters like you and the two of them, abandon you, and forget you."
"He is the real star of the greatest comedy in Batman's life. In the past, present and future, I'm afraid you will never be able to direct a show that makes him happier than he is now."
Batman heard the Joker's furious yelling behind him, and he didn't even bother to turn his head.
And when the drop of moisture on Jason's face finally fell on the back of his hand, it was dawn.
The world has returned to the colorful colors it should have, leaving only a few fireless ashes and the stubborn bones that remain after the fire of karma has burned out.
There is a father and a son. There is no emotional void that needs to be filled, and there is no sarcastic clown in the void.
There is a knight, and there is another knight. Without the giant windmill that can never be traced, there will be no treacherous and slanderous jester on the stage of absurdity.
