Start operation Batman

Chapter 28 Because I'm Batman

Batman had already hacked into the communication line between Luo Yajun and the headquarters, so Chu Cheng listened to their conversations and conversations.So he naturally also learned about the way to stop this mental storm, and Agent Luo's plan to sacrifice himself to complete this mission.

Then of course he couldn't just sit idly by.

Chu Cheng asked himself that if he stood in the position of Luo Yajun, he would definitely not be able to be so fearless, and it was precisely because of this that the behavior of this detective was more admirable.

But fortunately, he didn't need any noble self-sacrifice to accomplish important tasks.

Because he's just a gamer.

Because it's a game, he can boldly do things that his real self dared not do.Because it's a game, he can use abilities that he doesn't have. He doesn't have to worry about getting hurt or dying, and he doesn't have to worry about attracting unnecessary eyes. He can do the right thing as he wants.

It even faintly coincides with the idea of ​​Bruce Wayne when Batman was born.

As a human being, no matter how rich and well-trained he is, he is still flesh and blood, and will be targeted and killed.But if he becomes someone else by means of a mask, becomes a symbol, he becomes indestructible.

And now, relying on the operation of the keyboard and mouse, Chu Cheng has also transformed into that indestructible symbol.

Batman walked into the heart of the storm, and soon the mentally polluted laughter was overwhelming.Chu Cheng's earphones sounded piercing laughter surrounded by 360 degrees, as if he himself was in the scene.

That's a sign of infection.That voice will directly echo in people's minds, deafeningly louder and louder, and it is impossible for those who are not determined to go to the eye of the wind.

But Chu Cheng's method of dealing with this annoying voice is also very simple.

He...turned down the volume on the earphones.

The weirdness of the laughter is naturally greatly reduced when the volume is turned down.In fact, if necessary, he can even directly block the game volume, or simply turn on the music software in the background to play the Teletubbies in a loop.

This is a common trick players use against horror games.Be it ghosts or ancient gods, those guys who like to pretend to be gods and ghosts are not opponents of Teletubbies.

It didn't take long for him to be in the middle of the storm.

There stood a man.It is still the appearance of the man named Guan Ye, but the inside is no longer human.The irreversible deep infection has turned him into the endorsement of some ancient existence outside of human beings, and has become a mobile source of infection.

When the figure appeared in the field of vision, Chu Cheng had already controlled Batman to lock on the target from afar.He selected the weapon from the equipment bar, held down the right mouse button to lock it, and tapped the left button, and the small dart flew out of his hand like a bat piercing through the air.

But the man seemed to have sensed the approach of the dart from afar.He tilted his head slightly, and the dart flew through the air immediately, and nailed into the wall behind him with a snap.

"Missed, ha." The man's mouth opened in a more terrifying arc, "It seems that your aim is not very good."

But he didn't notice that there were two dim red lights flashing on the dart nailed into the wall, and then the explosives filled in the dart detonated with a bang.

The wall was blown to pieces, and the shock wave carried the fragments flying around.The man was blown to the ground in disgrace.

He stood up just before Batman rushed to his face, and he didn't even have time to adjust his stance.He attacked with a jab head-on, but Chu Cheng skilfully let Batman slide to the flank with a step, and then he manipulated Batman to punch back.

The man reacted quickly, and with the five fingers of his right palm spread out, he blocked Batman's punch, as if he wanted to take a hard punch with his great strength.

But he miscalculated.

The moment Batman's black glove hit his palm, azure blue electric current burst out suddenly, and countless electric arcs bloomed from the front of the fist, blasting the opponent's palm into a bloody mess.Chu Cheng seemed to be able to smell the smell of barbecue through the screen.

Batman's gloves are equipped with a powerful electric shock function.Although he would never drive to lethal power when dealing with street gangsters, he naturally didn't pay much attention to dealing with non-human beings, and the power was directly maxed out.

Chu Cheng: Wild infected people have appeared, come on Batman, use [-] volts!

The effect is outstanding!

Although the electric shock couldn't complete the kill, the infected person's arms were visibly weakened, and the muscles seemed to be relaxed by the electric shock.On Chu Cheng's screen, a reminder of execution immediately popped up above the opponent's head—this is a reminder that will appear when the opponent falls into a dizziness or freezes. You can choose different moves to let Batman complete the final blow.

Execute on the spot!

People with an infection level of more than 80% have died long ago, and the infected people are just walking dead like zombies, so Batman's principle of not killing naturally does not apply.

Batman snatched up behind the man, and a Batarang bounced off his hand with a snap.He bound and imprisoned the man from behind, raised the dart and dropped it, and the sharp blade that cut iron like mud cut the man's throat like a hot knife cutting butter.

The red dart trailed a long trail of blood, and the man's head was severed up to his neck.

The headless body twitched twice, then knelt down with both knees bent, and fell to the ground completely, with bright red blood flowing from the fracture site.

After the head fell to the ground, it rolled around twice, dragging blood, and stopped in a pool of blood.

The laughter stopped.

But the surrounding storm didn't mean to stop, on the contrary, it seemed to be more intense.The surrounding streets and buildings were all submerged in the boundless storm, and the overwhelming cloud made people breathless.

The head that had been severed and landed miraculously rolled around on the ground by itself and turned back towards the screen.

But when it turned back, Chu Cheng saw that it was clearly not the face of the man named Guan Ye.

It was the face of a middle-aged man with distinct western features and a mustache.From that face, there could still be traces of handsomeness, but it has been severely damaged by the tragic death.

The moment he saw this face, the Batman in the picture suddenly took two steps back uncontrollably, as if his heart had been hit hard.

"Father!?"

Chu Cheng's heart trembled violently.

At this moment he realized that this face belonged to Batman's father, Thomas Wayne.

But how is it possible here?At this time?This kind of place?

Chu Cheng suddenly realized that at some point, the camera on the screen seemed to be slightly tilted by a few degrees.The screen filter also darkened, and the edges of the screen became a bit blurred.

He quickly realized that this is the way in many action games when the protagonist is poisoned or hallucinating, the game uses the screen to hint to the player.

So what I see through the screen now is an illusion from the perspective of Batman?
In other words, going deep into the spiritual storm, even Batman, who is a game character, can't be immune to the infection?
"Why... didn't you stop him?"

Thomas Wayne's bulging eyeballs, empty eyes already clearly belonged to the dead, but the dry and pale mouth was still talking.

Chu Cheng, who was familiar with the story of Batman, soon realized that he was referring to the gangster who shot and killed the Wayne couple.

"You should have tried to stop him, like a man"

When Chu Cheng heard this, he knew it was all nonsense.Batman was eight years old then, just a helpless kid.If he really tried to rush up to fight the gangsters, then the world line would probably change, and it would not be the Waynes who died but him.

This wasn't the real Thomas Wayne, and the real Thomas could never have thought that way.It's just that Batman himself is digging into the horns. After so many years, he is still blaming himself. He still feels that if life can be repeated, if there is even a little difference in the past, will his parents not have to die?

"me."

The Batman in the picture is a bit confused.He stumbled and took two steps back, not daring to face the shocking head on the ground.

But when he turned his head, a new scene had emerged in the dark storm behind him.

A dark alley, a few street lights in disrepair.A broken necklace, the pearls that were originally strung on the necklace crackled and rolled all over the ground, like the tears of a mermaid.

The beautiful woman in expensive clothes fell into a pool of blood, her head tilted, staring at Batman.

"Bruce help us, it's so dark in here. I'm so scared."

Batman shuddered again and stumbled back.

"Mother."

It's a bit brutal, but that's what makes Batman his core.Just like all Spiderman screenwriters are unwilling to let poor Uncle Ben go, every time there is a Batman story, the screenwriter always drags his parents out and flogs the corpse repeatedly.

There was even an over-the-top coser who cosplayed the Wayne couple at one time, and when he saw Batman at the comic show, he threw himself on the ground.That scene is funny, it's funny, just a smile can make 20 years of good deeds laugh
Chu Cheng hurriedly manipulated Batman's perspective to move away from the illusion of the Wayne couple.The WASD of the keyboard can still control Batman's movement, but his pace is significantly slower. He can only walk but not run and jump, and the attack button does not respond.

Then he fell to his knees, the filter darkened to the extreme.

The alley disappeared, and the surroundings became a chaotic storm again, as if boundless nothingness.A voice came from the depths of nothingness, it was a piercing laughter.

"You see, this proves me even more right."

The sound resounded in the void.

"Everyone's afraid of nothingness, of uncertainty, of feeling like you're not in control of anything," said the voice. "You're especially like that, aren't you? I don't know who you are, but I can feel it.

You have a strong fear of certain things, more than most people fear in their hearts.And the way you choose to fight that fear is by dressing yourself up in this demonic form.

You're trying so hard to fight against the nothingness of uncertainty, to keep things under control, precisely because you're living with a fear that most people can't reach. "

Batman remained kneeling.A flickering exclamation mark has popped up in the upper left corner of the screen.

It is explained in the description of the beginner tutorial.The exclamation mark sign means that the hero is on the verge of the limit, maybe the blood volume, the physical strength, or the mental tank is about to bottom out.Once the hero becomes unable to continue the mission, the system will forcibly recall him.

It is basically equivalent to the death of a character in a traditional game.

Another burst of laughter echoed in the void.

"You see, we are actually identical, or almost carved out of the same mold," said the voice. "You put on this bodysuit and tried to fight fear in this way, and the way I chose It is the direct incarnation of 'nothing'.

That's what my abilities are made for.All those people who are disturbed by the unknown, those who cannot control their own lives, my ability can make them become their own masters again.

Everyone can release their true inner thoughts, tear away the rules, and no longer need hypocritical disguises.They can happily be their truest selves, and they can all become 'nothing', making those who think they have mastered the rules feel the horror of 'nothing'. "

While speaking, the figure of "Guan Ye" appeared again.He smiled wildly and strangely, and he was holding a fire ax that came from nowhere in his hand as he walked forward.

Chu Cheng was almost rolling the keyboard with his face, but the Batman on the screen still didn't accept the input.But the screen camera shakes slightly with his input.

"Guan Ye" stopped in front of Batman, and he lifted the fire ax with a smile.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Chu Cheng seemed to see Batman's fingers move.

Almost reflexively, Chu Cheng took out the unicorn arm hand speed he had practiced for more than 20 years alone, and tapped the right mouse button frantically and continuously.That is the key for defense and counterattack, and it can control Batman to counterattack at the moment of being attacked.

The fire ax fell.The moment the sharp and heavy edge of the ax had almost fallen, Batman moved.He suddenly hit the opponent's wrist with a palm, and missed the direction where the ax fell.At the same time, he rolled on the spot, dodging the ax in a thrilling manner, only the corner of the cloak was cut off in the middle.

"What!?" The other party seemed stunned that he had recovered his mobility under such circumstances.

But it was too late for him to return the axe.The electric fist punched him twice in a row, and the full-power electric current paralyzed his nerves.Batman grabbed his arm and pulled him over, and the dart landed on the man's throat.

"why?"

"Guan Ye" showed a look of astonishment, and even the crazy smile on his face weakened a little because of shock for the first time.

"You are not even a special person, how is it possible?"

He couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't figure it out.

Only the specific ones have the ability to be immune to infection.And even the eccentrics can only resist most infections. Once they are infected by an infection source beyond their tolerance, even the eccentrics cannot recover their sanity from the infected state by their own strength.

Something that even a strange person can't do, let alone this bat pretending to be a lunatic who is not even a special person.

And he only got a cold but determined answer.

"Because I'm Batman."

The bat dart flew across, and the head fell to the ground.

The dark storm stopped suddenly.
