Chapter 2865: The Battle of the Little Brick People! (XIX)
Batman on the Batfighter found that the current situation was very tricky. The whole city was full of monsters, and the tower called the Eye of Sauron was always monitoring everyone here. The Batfighter was hit by a cannon as soon as it appeared.
Shila-
While the tower was accumulating power, Batman had already tried to dodge it, but unfortunately the Eye of Sauron predicted his prediction. The Batfighter made a sharp turn, but the laser was retracted, and the next second it hit the tail wing of the Batfighter with a bang.
Tim picked up the laser gun he had found earlier and took aim, but the range was not enough and he could only barely shoot down two weird pterosaurs. Dick climbed out of the Batfighter and kicked away several aliens that tried to climb up.
Batman was concentrating on controlling the fighter plane, but unfortunately he was unable to save the out-of-control plane from gradually falling. The huge plane dived down with smoke coming out, and the parachute floated down swayingly. Batman, with Tim in his left hand and Dick in his right hand, landed steadily on the ground.
"Ha! Fortunately I had foresight!" Batman said proudly, but as soon as he turned his head, the black muzzle of a gun was pressed against his forehead.
The Joker gave him a crazy smile.
"Got you, Batman."
"Hey, listen, you damn criminal." Batman raised his hands and said, "Now is not the time to fight among yourselves. Do you want to watch our city be destroyed?"
"Of course I can... Hey, wait, did you just say 'our city'?" The Joker was slightly stunned, then narrowed his eyes and grinned.
In this short second, Batman's mind flashed through everything Schiller had said to him. He immediately lowered his arms, looked into the Joker's eyes and said, "Yes, isn't this a city that belongs to both of us? I maintain order, you create chaos, this is our own stage."
"you……"
Batman stepped forward and said, "Have you found yourself having trouble holding your gun? Before you worry about me and this city, you'd better pay attention to your own condition first. I think that might not be good."
The Joker was stunned. He stared at Batman blankly. After putting down his gun, he stood there and said sluggishly: "You mean I should care about myself? Really? Is that what you want to say???"
"I'm just surprised. The dark circles under your eyes seem to be heavier than before, and your voice is hoarse. What's wrong with you recently?"
“You…you…” The clown’s bloody mouth began to tremble, tears gradually accumulated in his eyes, and he almost screamed: “You care about me?!”
Then he stood up from his place, turned several times on tiptoe, like dancing a ballet on the spot, and smashed the gun to the ground suddenly, causing parts to fly everywhere. Then he pulled his hair with both hands and almost pulled the hair parts off his scalp.
"Batman cares about me! Did you see that? Batman cares about me!! He must want me to die sooner! Because I am the person he hates the most!!!"
"Uh... if that's how you understand it..."
All the lunatics of Arkham gathered around, staring at the two of them, and suddenly the Joker stopped.
He clasped his hands together in front of him, tilted his head to one side, and deliberately looked at Batman with one side of his eye. He kept rubbing his hands, took small steps, and stomped his feet on the spot. A bright beam of light shone on him, and he turned into a shy cabbage.
"I...I hate you too." The clown choked.
"oh--!!!!"
A loud cheer rang out, and all the crazy people around clapped and cheered continuously.
"So what's the next step?" Tim lowered his voice, looked around and said, "Are we going to take Batman's hand and hand him over to the Joker?"
"Stop it, this isn't a church." Dick immediately refused, and then he said, "If they want to send someone, they should send the clown here."
"Really? You really support..."
Before he finished his words, there was a bang, and Batman threw down two smoke bombs, and flew into the air with the two men again. He retracted the grappling hook, and the three of them appeared on the roof. The Joker's loud cursing could be heard on the street.
Seeing the criminals climbing up the stairs to approach them like the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, Batman sighed, looked at the damaged fighter plane, and left with the two of them without looking back.
"What do we do next?" Dick asked.
"We need a new plane, otherwise we won't be able to get close to the eye. Let's go find Gordon and Barbara first. They can at least find the raw materials for us."
Soon the three of them arrived at Gordon's office. The father and daughter were discussing something at the moment. Batman jumped onto the balcony, but did not rush in. It was this step that made him hear the conversation between Gordon and the others.
"It's too late, Barbara. I'm afraid I have to go first. Our men have suffered heavy casualties. Without enough life factors, they have no way to recover."
"No, Dad, it's too early. If you disappear, Batman will get suspicious. If he manages to stop the others, then the whole plan will be ruined."
"He's not that kind of person..."
"Yes, he might not want to stop them, but to jump with them, but then we'd be in a dead end again... Besides, if he jumps too, I'd be the only one left behind, and I can't accept that."
Gordon sighed, patted Barbara on the shoulder and said, "I don't approve of what's going on between you and Batman, but if you two can rely on each other, then... Batman?!"
"What the hell are you talking about?" Batman walked into the office and asked, "Where are you going, Gordon?"
"Um... I'm going to buy donuts." Gordon took two steps back and said, "Barbara insisted on going with me. She has been clinging to me since she was a child. Now that you're here, I'll go by myself. Barbara and Batman will have a good chat. I..."
Just as Gordon took a step to run, Tim and Dick rushed out from the front door and slammed the door shut. The father and daughter were trapped in the room by the three of them.
"Tell me what's going on here?" Batman said seriously. "Tell me what you and they are hiding from me?"
Barbara and Gordon looked at each other, looking a little helpless. They were obviously thinking of a strategy, but unfortunately Batman came too suddenly, and it was obviously not so easy to fool him this time.
Just as Gordon opened his mouth to say something, the TV screen hanging on the wall suddenly flickered a few times, the news channel disappeared, and another face appeared on the TV screen - a face almost exactly like Batman's, except that there was a flashing red light in his eyes.
"As you can see, I am Batman, but I am different from that idiot. I come from a more prosperous and rich universe. In order to add bricks and tiles to my universe, I have to come to you to borrow a little raw material."
The camera turned and Batman took a step forward because he saw Superman imprisoned in a kryptonite prison and Wonder Woman hung up on the screen.
Wonder Woman yelled at the camera, "This is all a conspiracy! Batman! That raw material recycling plan was actually his... fake! It's all fake... Ugh! Ugh!!"
Wonder Woman's mouth was covered with flying eggs and she couldn't say anything. On the other side, Superman in the Kryptonite Prison knocked on the green crystal and said, "Sorry! Batman! We shouldn't have kept it from you! But we were also deceived. It wasn't a lack of life factor at all, but poisoning. The purpose was..."
"See? All your good friends are in my hands." Batman, with red light flashing in his eyes, circled back to the camera and said, "They need you. If you can't come to save them, who else can?"
"What do you want?!" Batman turned his head and looked at the camera and said, "Let them go and stop your conspiracy!"
"You've lost a lot of people, right?" The Batman wasn't talking to Batman, but seemed to be looking at Gordon. He said, "You don't have enough life factors to repair the scattered limbs, and if you don't put them back together quickly, your consciousness will soon dissipate."
The camera suddenly switched, and Batman saw a green light flashing in the dim factory room. A group of people were hung above a huge chemical pool. They were all partners of the Justice League.
"I released the monsters from the Phantom Prison." Batman's deep voice sounded on the screen. He said, "It was to cause casualties and consume the already limited life force."
"Then, Batman..." His voice seemed to echo in the factory, hitting the wall and stirring up layer after layer of evil echoes, "I'm afraid you have to make a choice."
"Would you rather watch all the life factors being consumed and everyone die together, or throw your dear friends into the chemical pool to replenish your power source and save more people?"
With a crackling sound, the screen turned off and Batman punched the wall. He took a deep breath and then heard another fact from Gordon and his daughter that made him feel extremely frustrated.
He originally thought that he would join his friends in the raw material recovery plan, but in fact they had no intention of taking him with them. Instead, they wanted to leave him behind and leave him alone in the world.
What really makes Batman feel sad is not that they want to abandon him, but that they never understand him and don't understand how much he fears loneliness. This is more painful than killing him, but they want to do it.
Barbara walked up, held Batman's shoulder and said, "I was also the one left behind, but we all did this for our future. Don't hate them."
"Batman doesn't hate anyone." He said this, flicked his cape and walked out the door.
Barbara and Gordon looked at his back and sighed in unison. Barbara became puzzled again and said, "What does Superman mean? What do you mean the recycling plan is actually a conspiracy? Is there something else we don't know?"
"Impossible." Gordon said, "The Wayne couple personally gave me the information. There is no way there is a problem with this plan."
"Do you know where they found out the truth?" Barbara raised her long-standing doubts. She said, "According to what you said, Mr. Wayne discovered the existence of life factors through chemical instrument analysis. Is this analysis accurate? Is there any other evidence to prove it?"
Gordon also fell silent. They didn't dare to think about what would happen if there was a problem with the plan. They had already paid an almost unbearable price for it.
During the monster's attack, the Batmobile sped all the way and finally stopped in front of the gate of the chemical plant. Batman got out of the car and saw the dark and slender figure on the roof of the chemical plant.
