[Zhongyingmei] Vampires don't want to inherit
Chapter 47 Renault doesn't want to carry on the family
Reynolds Straw has been missing from Gotham since the Iceberg explosion that night.Bruce Wayne undertook the subsequent compensation for the explosion and the reconstruction of the Iceberg Restaurant. Batman searched all over Gotham but could not find any trace of Raynor.
The first thing Batman did when he returned to the Batcave was to find Damian and ask him if he had changed the Batarang in his weapon belt.Damian admitted that Batman's fists were tightly clenched together. The person in front of him was his own son. The education he received was deformed. He thought he could use time to correct Damian's extreme thinking, but everything It's too late.
Batman's fist hit the Batcomputer, he couldn't hit Damian like Penguin, he could only vent his anger on something beside him.
"Father, a vampire is not a good person. He is challenging your bottom line. As your sole heir, I don't recognize him." Damian stared straight at Bruce without any regret.
"Damian, that's between me and him, it has nothing to do with you. Also, as I said, you are not allowed to touch my equipment without my permission. Do you know where you went wrong?"
"I was right, Father, you were bewitched by the evil vampire."
Batman finally understood that Damian regarded Renault as an enemy from the beginning to the end, because he took the child too naively, and he really wanted to send Renault to hell.Batman remembered Raynor's weak appearance, finally couldn't control his anger, and slapped Damian hard.
This kid's mind cannot be changed easily, and Batman needs to use more severe methods to change him.
Damian didn't have any emotional fluctuations after being slapped. His education is that strength determines status. Now Batman is stronger than him, and he did violate Batman's instructions. He received this slap.But this does not mean that Damian has no complaints at all, he attached all his hatred to Renault.
"Damian, confinement. For one month, you can't leave Wayne Manor, you can't get close to the Batcave, and you can't communicate with the outside world. Ah Fu, take him up." Batman fell into the chair and took off his mask. A covered his face with his hands.
Brother Winchester carefully explained to him the characteristics and weaknesses of dark creatures, and sold him a lot of holy water.These holy waters are all diluted, and the effect is not painful.It took Batman nearly half a month to extract ten milliliters of concentrated holy water from one liter of holy water.By experimenting with the red-eyed demons that had infiltrated Gotham, he determined the lethality of concentrated holy water.
Batman couldn't imagine how badly Renault was injured. In his memory, the red-eyed demon who was hit by the holy water lost his ability to move a little bit, curled up on the ground and howled, and finally disappeared into a plume of black smoke.Renault was pierced by seven or eight bat darts, and they penetrated deeply into his body. When Batman picked him up, his internal organs were already damaged, and blood overflowed from his mouth and nose. The damage he suffered was worse than Countless times worse than that red-eyed demon.
Batman's hands were shaking when he took off his armor. His only hope now is that Charles Copperpot has a way to cure Raynor.He has been investigating the demons in Gotham. The highest level is the white-eyed demon who has occupied Charles Coppert. He took Reynolds away. Based on the relationship between the two of them, Reynolds may still have a chance.
"Bat, behind you!" Red Robin screamed, and he realized that Batman had a bat dart stuck in his back.
Batman avoids Red Robin's attempt to unplug the Batarang for him, and puts on insulating gloves to pull the Batarang himself.The bat dart was placed in a medical tray, covered with a layer of purple mist, and the power of the vampire had not dissipated.
The bat dart pierced Batman's armor and pierced Batman's back, causing a wound about two centimeters deep, which is a common occurrence for Batman.The only thing that makes Red Robin nervous is whether the vampire's powers will harm Batman's body.
Batman wrapped the bandage around his body a few times silently, and shook his head at Red Robin, he could feel that this power was restrained.The power of the vampire helped the batarang penetrate the battle armor, and then stayed on the batarang as if bound, without spreading in his body. If this power raged in his body, he would definitely suffer a lot.
……
"Bat, there is a vision in a property under the name of a vampire." Red Robin sat in the bat cave and consolidated the information sent to the bat computer every day. Seeing the surveillance video, he became refreshed.
These days he has been looking for traces of Raynor, Bruce is getting more and more depressed every day, and Batman has gradually reduced the traces of asking about vampires.Every negative answer is a kind of torture for him.
The Winchester brothers confirmed that the demon occupying Charles' body has returned to hell. It is impossible to find Raynor's trace from Charles' line. We can only look forward to the day when Raynor suddenly appears in Gotham again.
Red Robin specially set aside four screens to monitor all the properties under Renault's name, and Red Robin noticed that Renault's dormant house came back to life in the next minute.Batman accurately marked the location of the house with the vision, and guided the location signal to the microcomputer.
Red Robin watched helplessly as Batman pulled out a small box from the cabinet under the Batcomputer and strode towards the Batmobile. There was still more than an hour before the start of the night patrol, and Red Robin quickly jumped up from the chair Grab the uniform and follow.
"I'm going to find Renault, you stay in the Batcave, contact me in case of emergencies." Batman started the Batmobile after leaving a sentence.Red Robin was sprayed in the face by the exhaust of the Batmobile, and sat back in his chair with the corners of his mouth twitching. It was terrible to regain his beloved Batman.
Batman brought the box down from the sky to the balcony of Renault's house. Renault was lying on the sofa drowsy.The system only issued a reminder at the moment Batman arrived, and Renault continued to lie on the sofa as if he didn't hear it at all, with tired and sleepy faces still on his face.
Batman pushed open the glass door, and saw Renault wrapped in wine-red pajamas on the sofa, and didn't respond to his visit at all.
Batman took a deep breath, took off his mask, and walked towards Renault step by step.Renault opened his eyes when Batman stood in front of him, and there was an extremely familiar face in front of him, but the expression was so strange.
Bruce half-kneeled down and looked at Renault's eye level. He held Renault's hand, his blue eyes mixed with sadness and joy, "Reynolds, I miss you."
Raynor sat up and put his free hand on Bruce's face, covering Bruce's eyes with his hand.He felt that if he was always looked at like this, he would soften his heart.Now the two stand at a fork in the road. They have been fortunate enough to have a good time together, but now Renault does not know whether to continue.
"I miss you so much, you are so important to me. I walk in the dark, and I suffer the pain of darkness and light every moment. Only your kiss can break me out of loneliness. You shared you with me. All of me, but I did not share all of me with you, so I was punished, from the soul."
"Every day I don't hear from you drives me crazy. I know that only you can save me. I'm in the dark, I bear the pain. Compared with you, none of this is important. By your side, I have Endless power."
"I love you, Renault. Outside the mask, inside the mask, that lonely and hopeless soul is in love with you."
Bruce didn't take off Renault's hand that covered his eyes, and said the words hidden deep in his heart.He clicked on the bat logo on his battle armor, and the bat rose up, revealing a hollow space with a small box inside.
The battle armor on Bruce's body separated naturally after Bruce took out the small box, revealing Bruce Wayne wearing a shirt and trousers inside.Bruce maintained a half-kneeling posture, and opened the small box to Renault, which contained a ruby ring.
Renault withdrew his hand tremblingly, he had imagined what it would be like when Batman came to find him.Maybe Batman is going to announce that the two have broken up and send him to prison; maybe Bruce Wayne will come to him with a rose, as if nothing happened, whitewashing the peace.Only there is no scene where Batman takes off his mask and proposes to himself.
Renault felt that his heart was torn in two, sensibility was screaming crazily, being proposed by his lover would always be happiness, and Renault had been looking forward to one day entering the palace of marriage with Bruce; What is it for a hero?Who gave him the courage to think that after Renault was almost killed by him, he would still be with him lovingly.
With trembling hands, Renault picked up the ring and held it in his hand. The coldness of the gemstone cooled Renault's feverish mind.
He smiled at Bruce for the first time, "Bruce, do you remember the unfinished dance at Mayor March's banquet?"
Bruce immediately understood what Renault meant. He stood up from the ground and took Renault's hand, "As long as you want, we can make up that dance at any time."
Renault stood up following Bruce's strength, and the two walked into the open space.The film was babbling and playing music, Bruce grabbed Renault's waist, and Renault's hands climbed onto Bruce's back.
The residual temperature of the limbs warmed Renault's cold body through the thin shirt. Renault buried his head in Bruce's neck, and Bruce lowered his head and kissed the top of Renault's hair.
The moonlight shines on the two through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the two slowly sway to the music.However, Renault felt his eyes were sore. The sea witch's dagger that Charles gave him appeared in Renault's right hand. Bruce didn't have a battle armor. He was just a fragile ordinary person now. No one could save him if the dagger was pierced.
Renault could feel the preciousness of Bruce hugging him, he could feel the seriousness of Bruce's confession, and he could also recall Batman's coldness and his relief when he saw himself hurt by holy water.Renault was tortured to the point of madness by emotion and reason, his tears flowed out of his eyes uncontrollably, and slid down Bruce's chest.
Bruce felt the wetness on his chest, hugged Renault tightly, kissed his forehead, and kissed Renault's lips little by little.
"I love you, Renault, I love you..."
Listening to Bruce's confession in a low voice, Renault's love for Bruce finally broke through his reason, and the sea witch's dagger fell from his hand and fell on the carpet, losing its luster.The two fell down on the carpet entangled, Bruce's eyes never left Renault from beginning to end, Renault's hands held Bruce's face weakly, as if engraving everything about him into his heart.
Renault's wine-red pajamas were ripped open, revealing the wounds on his body that had been scorched by holy water. Bruce sighed and kissed every wound, every spot here was his own sin.
There was Bruce's familiar smile on the corner of Renault's lips, it was a smile that only appeared when he was connected with his lover.Renault forced himself to forget all the unpleasantness with Bruce, and enjoy a moment of pleasure.
"Host, the Red Hood has started to move." The system quietly pushed a notification. It knew that now Lei Nuo couldn't see and didn't want to see this message. This was Ren Nuo's last struggle.
Renault enjoyed the rare intimacy with Bruce, intentionally or unintentionally led Bruce to change the angle.It's a pity that these small actions were useless. The communicator in Bruce's ear sent an emergency notification, and there was a riot in Arkham, and the Red Hood might have been involved.
Bruce froze for a moment, he was caught in a dilemma.Renault just watched him quietly, waiting for Bruce's final choice.
"Renault...I'm sorry." Bruce made a decision after a long silence. He sat up and reached out to explore his armor.
Renault looked at Bruce with a bare upper body and a smile, his eyes were full of sadness, "Bruce, I won't talk to you about business matters anymore."
In response to the click of Batman's suit, Batman knelt in front of Raynor and whispered, "Sorry."
Renault bit his lips and watched Batman and Batlight merge into one, and the ruby ring was pinched and shattered. He murmured: "If you leave here today, we will say goodbye completely."
He was sitting on the carpet, with his pajamas casually spread aside, staring blankly at the deformed ring ring in his hand, showing an extremely bitter smile.
"Host, Red Hood is calling." The system is not sure whether to disturb Lei Nuo at this time, but it can't directly block Lei Nuo's message from Red Hood.
Renault didn't speak, the system consciously projected the signal from the Red Hood.The Red Hood is running through Arkham Asylum, followed by a bunch of released criminals.If you look carefully, you can find that there are no famous criminals here, but some criminals with little reputation.
"Vampire, I have completed the contract. If there is no problem, I will withdraw." There was still some panting in Red Hood's voice, which showed that he spared no effort when making trouble in Arkham.
"Get out. I already know the answer." Renault pulled the corner of his mouth and carefully observed the state of the red hood, "I thought this would not be a difficult matter for you. Your current state does not look very good. "
Renault couldn't see the expression under the red hood, but he could feel the joy of the red hood, "Yes, making trouble is not difficult. I just took a slight revenge on our common enemy."
"Joker? Looks like you had a good time with him."
"Happy? Yes, it is for me. I don't know what it is for him." Red Hood suddenly looked up, "Since you have no other requirements, I will withdraw. Then I'm going to concentrate on sneaking the bat cubs now."
"Actually, what you're dealing with..." is Batman.
Before Renault finished speaking, the other party hung up the communication. Renault hesitated for a while, not sure whether he should call to remind him. Considering that the contract that Red Hood himself said was over, Renault gave up this idea.After all, he can't even handle his own affairs with Batman well, so it's better not to get involved between Batman and Red Hood.
Renault took the nightgown from the carpet and put it on casually. Even though the vampire was in excellent physical condition, he still felt very cold.On the one hand, it was because his injury had not fully healed, and on the other hand, it was because he was cold-hearted.
Oh no, vampires have no hearts.Lei Nuo's right hand touched his heart, the skin there was pale and cold, and he couldn't feel the vitality. Lei Nuo felt that the position of the heart was empty, and the chill permeated.
"System, list my status bar." This was the second time Renault looked at his status bar since he came to Gotham. He had always disguised himself very well.As if there was nothing special about him from other vampires, even if the system reminded him that he was different from the side, he turned a deaf ear to it.
The system projected Lei Nuo's personal information on the floor-to-ceiling window. Lei Nuo didn't pay attention to his status bar, and slid to the relationship bar with trembling fingers.
Renault was trembling as he stared at his personal relationship column. He supported his precarious body with his hands on the small round table.The relationship bars of Bruce Wayne and Batman are integrated, and the love bar has been pushed to the far right, with two connected hearts at the front, which is the symbol of "soul mate/lovers".
And one-third of the friendship column is green. Compared with Batman's blood-red guard before, this already shows the change of Batman's attitude towards him.Reynolds and his relationship strip prove that the two love each other, but not all relationships can be measured with statistics.
Reynolds had attended his manager's wedding, and he had witnessed how the little girl and her lover went from strangers to lovers step by step, and finally entered the palace of marriage.He believes that his love with Bruce is definitely deeper than these two people, but the relationship between them is not so pure.
Renault avoided the status bar projected by the system and stumbled into the house. He walked out of his bedroom and entered the next bedroom.He didn't turn on the light, and the moonlight shone into the second bedroom, whose layout was almost identical to the master bedroom in Wayne Mansion.
Renault hid himself under the quilt of the big bed, and in the silent room, only sobbing could be heard from under the quilt.
The system didn't know what to say to comfort Renault. Renault's mood bar was red like blood and hurt people's eyes. The system detected that his mood was dark blue, from sadness to extreme despair.
Deduced by systematic logic, since the love value between Renault and Bruce is already full, and Bruce Wayne formally proposed to Renault, then these two people will happily enter the marriage hall soon and become a loving couple. young couple.
But Renault's performance is not like this. This love brings Renault not only spiritual comfort, but also hurt and pain. The system has to feel the complexity of human beings and put the love story of the two into a special space. Here, I will study it in detail when I have free time.
Renault curled himself up under the quilt, which is a habit originated from the game world.Perhaps this method seems too fragile to others, but in the game world, NPCs will alleviate embarrassment and sadness by hiding themselves.
Renault never thought that his love with Bruce would be so hurtful, maybe he shouldn't choose to be sincere at the very beginning.If the relationship between him and Bruce is only physical, they can still maintain the balance of the relationship calmly.
But when he put his heart into it, he inevitably began to envy Gotham's position in Bruce's heart.He clearly knows what Gotham means to Bruce, that is the pillar of his existence, but Raynor can't wholeheartedly support Batman's work and become his good wife.
If Batman had to choose between Gotham and Reno, Batman's eyes would always be on Gotham.
If Renault hadn't stepped into the dark side of Gotham because of his aspirational mission when he came to this world, but had just been an ordinary person, there would be no need to entangle the opposition between light and darkness.But it is more likely that he will never get in touch with the dark guardian of Gotham, and will not have this unforgettable love.
Charles once said that countless ancestors proved that love is the poison of a vampire's tarsus, and it is inseparable and inseparable.Penguin said that the relationship would destroy him, and even the red hood was not optimistic about the two of them.Renault still gave his sincerity without hesitation. Facts have proved that bystanders will always see more thoroughly than the parties involved.
If Renault is willing to give up the identity of the vampire leader of the Gotham gangsters, and be Mr. Wayne in peace, there is still a possibility between the two.But Renault is unwilling, and he is not reconciled, why should he always be the one who takes a step back.
It was time to say goodbye to Bruce Wayne, but he couldn't control his emotions.Vampires don't have hearts, but Lei Nuo feels that his heart hurts as if it is split.
If Batman hadn't left just now, if Bruce had been by his side when Raynor faltered, maybe he would have been defeated.
But it's too late now.
Renault slowly closed his eyes. He already understood why the little mermaid in the fairy tale didn't attack the prince and finally turned into bubbles, because of love.But he is not a mermaid, he can't give everything for love.
Renault chose to give himself one night to mourn to his heart's content. When the sun rises tomorrow, the heartless vampire will return to Gotham.
Tonight was his last indulgence.
……
When the Batmobile was speeding through the streets of Gotham and driving to the Arkham Mental Hospital, Red Robin reported the current situation of Arkham to Batman in real time through the communicator.Red Hood breaks down the defenses of Arkham Asylum.Many criminals were released, but strangely, the most difficult ones were not released.
Batman had some bad premonitions in his heart, but in order to prevent accidents, he had to go to Arkham to lock up all the criminals who escaped, and find the red hood and ask him why he did this.
Arkham's criminals escaped not once or twice, but this time the red hood was also involved, and Batman thought more.He still remembers that the Red Hood forced himself to choose between him and the Joker, and he was worried that the Red Hood would do irreparable things in anger.
When Batman arrived at Arkham Asylum, Red Hood had just finished communicating with Raynor.He led a group of criminals around the mental hospital. Gradually, the criminals lost their guides and continued to circle around the hospital.
The Red Hood had already left the main force and was hiding in a ward. He decided to teach the substitute a lesson and let him understand that the Red Hood is not so provocative.
What caught Red Hood off guard was that it wasn't Red Robin but Batman.According to his agreement with Raynor, Raynor would contain Batman, and he failed again.
After Batman fell from the sky, he drove all the criminals who ran out into their wards like catching chickens, and intercepted the red hood who was about to run away.
"Follow me." Batman stared at the red hood for a while with a standard Batman gaze, he didn't beat up the rebellious adopted son, just let him follow him.
Red Hood didn't know what he was going crazy for, he could have just run away, but he got into the Batmobile under Batman's gaze.He took a full look at the Batmobile, which was the first time he got on the Batmobile since returning to Gotham.
The Batmobile has been improved many times, and Red Hood looked here and there curiously. He imagined that if he had encountered this kind of Batmobile in Crime Alley back then, he would not be able to unload one for a week. wheel.
"What agreement do you have with vampires? You can't go to Arkham to make trouble for no reason." Batman suddenly asked. Red Robin and vampires seem to have an unusual connection. Today's sudden accident must be related to vampires.
"He said it was a choice." Red Hood replied casually, but in fact he really didn't know anything.Raynor paid him a large sum of money so that he could replenish his ammunition, after all he had to rely on himself after leaving Wayne's house.
The Batmobile screeched to a halt, leaving a long tire track on the street.Batman turned to look at Red Hood, his expression very serious. "A choice? About what?"
"I don't know, but he said you do." Red Hood shrugged indifferently.
Batman was silent for a long time, took off his visor, and covered his face with his hands.
Yes, he knows.
The author has something to say:
*Damian's initial setting is like this. Rice, who was successfully educated by Batman, is also a good boy, although he is a bit bearish. The DC universe is coming to an end, and Damian will still play an important role.Think about Damien's death in the future, will it feel better QAQ
The first thing Batman did when he returned to the Batcave was to find Damian and ask him if he had changed the Batarang in his weapon belt.Damian admitted that Batman's fists were tightly clenched together. The person in front of him was his own son. The education he received was deformed. He thought he could use time to correct Damian's extreme thinking, but everything It's too late.

This kid's mind cannot be changed easily, and Batman needs to use more severe methods to change him.
Damian didn't have any emotional fluctuations after being slapped. His education is that strength determines status. Now Batman is stronger than him, and he did violate Batman's instructions. He received this slap.But this does not mean that Damian has no complaints at all, he attached all his hatred to Renault.
"Damian, confinement. For one month, you can't leave Wayne Manor, you can't get close to the Batcave, and you can't communicate with the outside world. Ah Fu, take him up." Batman fell into the chair and took off his mask. A covered his face with his hands.

He was sitting on the carpet, with his pajamas casually spread aside, staring blankly at the deformed ring ring in his hand, showing an extremely bitter smile.
"Host, Red Hood is calling." The system is not sure whether to disturb Lei Nuo at this time, but it can't directly block Lei Nuo's message from Red Hood.
Renault didn't speak, the system consciously projected the signal from the Red Hood.The Red Hood is running through Arkham Asylum, followed by a bunch of released criminals.If you look carefully, you can find that there are no famous criminals here, but some criminals with little reputation.
"Vampire, I have completed the contract. If there is no problem, I will withdraw." There was still some panting in Red Hood's voice, which showed that he spared no effort when making trouble in Arkham.
"Get out. I already know the answer." Renault pulled the corner of his mouth and carefully observed the state of the red hood, "I thought this would not be a difficult matter for you. Your current state does not look very good. "
Renault couldn't see the expression under the red hood, but he could feel the joy of the red hood, "Yes, making trouble is not difficult. I just took a slight revenge on our common enemy."
"Joker? Looks like you had a good time with him."
"Happy? Yes, it is for me. I don't know what it is for him." Red Hood suddenly looked up, "Since you have no other requirements, I will withdraw. Then I'm going to concentrate on sneaking the bat cubs now."
"Actually, what you're dealing with..." is Batman.
Before Renault finished speaking, the other party hung up the communication. Renault hesitated for a while, not sure whether he should call to remind him. Considering that the contract that Red Hood himself said was over, Renault gave up this idea.After all, he can't even handle his own affairs with Batman well, so it's better not to get involved between Batman and Red Hood.
Renault took the nightgown from the carpet and put it on casually. Even though the vampire was in excellent physical condition, he still felt very cold.On the one hand, it was because his injury had not fully healed, and on the other hand, it was because he was cold-hearted.
Oh no, vampires have no hearts.Lei Nuo's right hand touched his heart, the skin there was pale and cold, and he couldn't feel the vitality. Lei Nuo felt that the position of the heart was empty, and the chill permeated.
"System, list my status bar." This was the second time Renault looked at his status bar since he came to Gotham. He had always disguised himself very well.As if there was nothing special about him from other vampires, even if the system reminded him that he was different from the side, he turned a deaf ear to it.
The system projected Lei Nuo's personal information on the floor-to-ceiling window. Lei Nuo didn't pay attention to his status bar, and slid to the relationship bar with trembling fingers.
Renault was trembling as he stared at his personal relationship column. He supported his precarious body with his hands on the small round table.The relationship bars of Bruce Wayne and Batman are integrated, and the love bar has been pushed to the far right, with two connected hearts at the front, which is the symbol of "soul mate/lovers".
And one-third of the friendship column is green. Compared with Batman's blood-red guard before, this already shows the change of Batman's attitude towards him.Reynolds and his relationship strip prove that the two love each other, but not all relationships can be measured with statistics.
Reynolds had attended his manager's wedding, and he had witnessed how the little girl and her lover went from strangers to lovers step by step, and finally entered the palace of marriage.He believes that his love with Bruce is definitely deeper than these two people, but the relationship between them is not so pure.
Renault avoided the status bar projected by the system and stumbled into the house. He walked out of his bedroom and entered the next bedroom.He didn't turn on the light, and the moonlight shone into the second bedroom, whose layout was almost identical to the master bedroom in Wayne Mansion.
Renault hid himself under the quilt of the big bed, and in the silent room, only sobbing could be heard from under the quilt.
The system didn't know what to say to comfort Renault. Renault's mood bar was red like blood and hurt people's eyes. The system detected that his mood was dark blue, from sadness to extreme despair.
Deduced by systematic logic, since the love value between Renault and Bruce is already full, and Bruce Wayne formally proposed to Renault, then these two people will happily enter the marriage hall soon and become a loving couple. young couple.
But Renault's performance is not like this. This love brings Renault not only spiritual comfort, but also hurt and pain. The system has to feel the complexity of human beings and put the love story of the two into a special space. Here, I will study it in detail when I have free time.
Renault curled himself up under the quilt, which is a habit originated from the game world.Perhaps this method seems too fragile to others, but in the game world, NPCs will alleviate embarrassment and sadness by hiding themselves.
Renault never thought that his love with Bruce would be so hurtful, maybe he shouldn't choose to be sincere at the very beginning.If the relationship between him and Bruce is only physical, they can still maintain the balance of the relationship calmly.
But when he put his heart into it, he inevitably began to envy Gotham's position in Bruce's heart.He clearly knows what Gotham means to Bruce, that is the pillar of his existence, but Raynor can't wholeheartedly support Batman's work and become his good wife.
If Batman had to choose between Gotham and Reno, Batman's eyes would always be on Gotham.
If Renault hadn't stepped into the dark side of Gotham because of his aspirational mission when he came to this world, but had just been an ordinary person, there would be no need to entangle the opposition between light and darkness.But it is more likely that he will never get in touch with the dark guardian of Gotham, and will not have this unforgettable love.
Charles once said that countless ancestors proved that love is the poison of a vampire's tarsus, and it is inseparable and inseparable.Penguin said that the relationship would destroy him, and even the red hood was not optimistic about the two of them.Renault still gave his sincerity without hesitation. Facts have proved that bystanders will always see more thoroughly than the parties involved.
If Renault is willing to give up the identity of the vampire leader of the Gotham gangsters, and be Mr. Wayne in peace, there is still a possibility between the two.But Renault is unwilling, and he is not reconciled, why should he always be the one who takes a step back.
It was time to say goodbye to Bruce Wayne, but he couldn't control his emotions.Vampires don't have hearts, but Lei Nuo feels that his heart hurts as if it is split.
If Batman hadn't left just now, if Bruce had been by his side when Raynor faltered, maybe he would have been defeated.
But it's too late now.
Renault slowly closed his eyes. He already understood why the little mermaid in the fairy tale didn't attack the prince and finally turned into bubbles, because of love.But he is not a mermaid, he can't give everything for love.
Renault chose to give himself one night to mourn to his heart's content. When the sun rises tomorrow, the heartless vampire will return to Gotham.
Tonight was his last indulgence.
……
When the Batmobile was speeding through the streets of Gotham and driving to the Arkham Mental Hospital, Red Robin reported the current situation of Arkham to Batman in real time through the communicator.Red Hood breaks down the defenses of Arkham Asylum.Many criminals were released, but strangely, the most difficult ones were not released.
Batman had some bad premonitions in his heart, but in order to prevent accidents, he had to go to Arkham to lock up all the criminals who escaped, and find the red hood and ask him why he did this.
Arkham's criminals escaped not once or twice, but this time the red hood was also involved, and Batman thought more.He still remembers that the Red Hood forced himself to choose between him and the Joker, and he was worried that the Red Hood would do irreparable things in anger.
When Batman arrived at Arkham Asylum, Red Hood had just finished communicating with Raynor.He led a group of criminals around the mental hospital. Gradually, the criminals lost their guides and continued to circle around the hospital.
The Red Hood had already left the main force and was hiding in a ward. He decided to teach the substitute a lesson and let him understand that the Red Hood is not so provocative.
What caught Red Hood off guard was that it wasn't Red Robin but Batman.According to his agreement with Raynor, Raynor would contain Batman, and he failed again.
After Batman fell from the sky, he drove all the criminals who ran out into their wards like catching chickens, and intercepted the red hood who was about to run away.
"Follow me." Batman stared at the red hood for a while with a standard Batman gaze, he didn't beat up the rebellious adopted son, just let him follow him.
Red Hood didn't know what he was going crazy for, he could have just run away, but he got into the Batmobile under Batman's gaze.He took a full look at the Batmobile, which was the first time he got on the Batmobile since returning to Gotham.
The Batmobile has been improved many times, and Red Hood looked here and there curiously. He imagined that if he had encountered this kind of Batmobile in Crime Alley back then, he would not be able to unload one for a week. wheel.
"What agreement do you have with vampires? You can't go to Arkham to make trouble for no reason." Batman suddenly asked. Red Robin and vampires seem to have an unusual connection. Today's sudden accident must be related to vampires.
"He said it was a choice." Red Hood replied casually, but in fact he really didn't know anything.Raynor paid him a large sum of money so that he could replenish his ammunition, after all he had to rely on himself after leaving Wayne's house.
The Batmobile screeched to a halt, leaving a long tire track on the street.Batman turned to look at Red Hood, his expression very serious. "A choice? About what?"
"I don't know, but he said you do." Red Hood shrugged indifferently.
Batman was silent for a long time, took off his visor, and covered his face with his hands.
Yes, he knows.
The author has something to say:
*Damian's initial setting is like this. Rice, who was successfully educated by Batman, is also a good boy, although he is a bit bearish. The DC universe is coming to an end, and Damian will still play an important role.Think about Damien's death in the future, will it feel better QAQ
