What bad thoughts can Batman have?

Chapter 96
I am Chen Tao.

a traveler.

Countless times I have considered whether my behavior is actually normal.

Am I affected by those Batman memories?

Did I change course and go crazy under their influence?
Look at what I'm going to do now.

I was going to intercept a nuclear bomb, voluntarily, premeditated, and willfully careless.

- Broken, it's completely Batman-like, and there's something damn magical about that pointy-eared mask.

——Damn, what kind of lunatic would envision the situation where his body would receive a nuclear bomb?

Like a person standing on the edge of a cliff, secretly expecting that he will stumble and fall?
This is definitely a pathological self-destructive tendency.

what.

So now you're questioning your own motives again?The body honestly made all kinds of preparations, and then began to doubt his own brain?
Give me a break.

You say to yourself:
Open the bow without turning back the arrow.

No matter how you say it, this is my decision...Chen Tao's decision.

I decided to intercept the nuclear bomb myself in the worst case possible, when all cards were exhausted, when there was no other choice, and at the risk of being killed.

Now is the time to act on my decision.

So the predictable feeling of fear shocks your whole body like a pacemaker.

"I modified the design of the nuclear bomb. It is no longer a weapon aimed at ground strikes...it is aimed at the weapon you made—weapon—"

Bain said.

The world distorts before your eyes, Bane's voice stretched and distorted in your ears.

You heard Bane say:
"Its radar is set to track Batman."

And you know you're Batman.

"It's terrible." Lucius' voice sounded in the earphones: "I understand Bane's meaning, that is to say, this nuclear bomb is now launching according to the established trajectory.

If we leave it alone, it will level Metropolis, and if you want to push it out of orbit, throwing it out of the earth is impossible, because this nuke is set to track you, once you get close to it, it It will explode! "

His speech was a bit confused, and his language processing was not done by the brain, but at least he barely explained the current situation clearly.

Then the voice of the butler Alfred sounded in the channel:

"Master, I have heard the general situation, you don't have to rely on yourself."

His face with a candle-headed hood appeared on the two-dimensional projection screen, and there were two sharp claws standing stupidly behind him.

The young Robin stood safely behind him, and all crises and dangers were far away from him.

Alfred's tone was very calm, he looked very sensible, and even had a relaxed smile on his face:
"We must have other ways, we can think of other ways. Like drones—"

"Bane named me by name." 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 like leaving the atmosphere. There is no doubt that this is specially prepared for me." Great gift."

Alfred was silent for a moment, then said quickly:
"Then there are other ways, human bats, human-faced bats, he can also fly!"

So you don't care about the life and death of human bats. If you don't have a nano body to face the nuclear bomb explosion, you will definitely die.

Although Chen Tao doesn't mind finding a substitute, the most important thing is...

"How can it catch up with the missile at the flying speed of a bat with a human face?"

"Then we can still find..."

Chen Tao took a deep breath.

"Alfred, I envisioned this situation, okay?"

He told Alfred: "It's nothing more than facing the explosion of a nuclear bomb."

He organizes the language:

"I have some special abilities, nano-batman or something."

Alfred responded in a low voice: "I know, master. Although you didn't take the initiative to explain them to me, and I wouldn't ask on purpose, there is no doubt that I know."

Chen Tao continued:

"I once imagined the scene of a nuclear bomb explosion. As long as I can transform into a hybrid of a car and a nano body at the same time, plus the amber gold of an owl bat to save my life, even in the face of a nuclear bomb-our chief scientist once helped me calculate If I exceed the relevant value, I will not die, at most it will be weakened."

He stretched out his hand, one hand turned into the black sand of the Broken Bat, and the other hand condensed into green dinosaur claws, and then smoothly turned into the tires of the car under his control.

His temples were throbbing with pain, but this time...

These two overlapping transformations did not collapse.

Lucius' voice confirmed from the side: "Alfred, Bruce didn't ask me to tell you before, mainly because I was afraid that you would worry, and this is just a plan for the worst case, although now... um... "

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 hard."

He suddenly turned his head and looked at Robin who was standing beside him: "Tim, do you know about this, right? Dudu didn't tell me? Dudu didn't dare to tell me?"

He didn't even call Master Tim as usual.

Tim responded with silence.

Alfred turned his head and said dejectedly:

"Have you tried?"

Chen Tao was speechless.

"Gosh, you never even tried, did you? You're not even sure you'd survive a nuke."

"It's not that exaggerated." Chen Tao told him: "According to numerical calculations, as long as I am not in the center, the shock wave and heat energy are not enough to destroy me. Of course, radiation is also ineffective..."

Chen Tao talked 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. It's Batman's responsibility, after all."

Chen Tao could clearly hear every word he said.

"And I, that is—"

"No! No! You can't!!! You're not him! He's dead! He's dead at last! He finally got what he wanted and died with the monsters in exhaustion!"

Alfred finally broke out.

His whole body was trembling, and he could no longer maintain the forced smile.

"The city gave me back you! Gotham gave me back that little boy named Bruce Wayne who died with his parents in Crime Alley!"

"You finally let go, you can finally sleep, you are finally at peace—my child!"

He stretched out his hand cautiously, as if he wanted to caress Bruce's face through the screen, as if he was touching some fragile porcelain.

"I have had a lot of trouble, bruised child! You have suffered so much! You don't have to, you don't have to—"

He clenched his fists tightly, as if he could grab his Bruce with all his might, 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 gave way 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 go to live a normal life, this city, or other cities, what happens to them has nothing to do with you .”

He let out two indistinct whimpers.

Under the light, half of Chen Tao's face was hidden in the shadows.

"The nuclear bomb exploded, the world was destroyed, this... these are not your responsibility."

他 说:

"You promised to retire with me."

It's always been like this, it's happened too many times - the son of Gotham is back in his battle suit, the dead bat-monster is back to life, and he...

To watch Bruce Wayne die again.For Alfred, this was undoubtedly the cruelest torture in his life.

To this...

I apologize.

"Alfred..."

"I am Batman."

Chen Tao always felt that these words had a predestined flavor.

They looked at each other in silence.

Lucius' voice also rang from Chen Tao's ear at this time: "We detected it, that nuclear bomb!"

He said sadly: "But we no longer have interceptor missiles. So..."

"I see."

The dark knight took a deep breath, he nodded heavily, and sighed, and when he raised his head, Alfred saw the raging fire roaring in his eyes.

He knew that look, he was too familiar with that look.

The kind of eyes that belonged exclusively to Batman, in the past years, he had seen such eyes countless times——

Aloof and awe-inspiring, contemptuous and sharp!
