[Comprehensive British and American] Backbones League
Chapter 29 Conflict and Contradictions
Of course, he shouldn't expect a fight in Gotham to go unnoticed by Batman.
Before everyone could react, Salas reacted decisively and jumped up suddenly.
It is impossible to abandon the body. He had already abandoned it once last time, and the second time he was forced to abandon his body by an unknown creature would be a loss of face.
This time, he wants to leave openly.
Robin beside Batman reacted quickly, he pulled out the knife behind his back and slashed at Salas directly.
Salas has observed, several Robins of Bat, this one is the most irritable one.
"Robin!" He looked at the knife.Feng was about to touch Salas' shoulder, and Peter shouted instinctively.
However, in the next second, Salas smiled slightly, turned around, and avoided the knife.Front, immediately long.The gun came out of his hand, directly piercing Robin's cloak, and the inertia nailed it to the ground.
His right hand was hooked to the butt end of the gun, and his left foot was on the ground.
"Sorry, Robin, I don't really want to have a conflict with the bat in question." After speaking, he drew his gun and was about to walk away.
Unexpectedly, Robin's reaction was very fast, and several bat darts flew directly towards Salas.
Salas was also very flexible and grabbed two bat darts, but he knew it was not good as soon as he caught it.
Sure enough, the next second, the batarang exploded in the air, and thick smoke filled the surroundings of Salas.
Thick smoke blocked Salas' vision, making him unable to see anything for a while.
But not being able to see does not mean not being able to hear. Almost immediately after losing his vision, he heard the sound of sharp blades piercing the wind.
Without even thinking about it, he resolutely raised the gun in his hand in the direction of the sound.
Clang——
It was the sound of metal on metal colliding.
Salas felt a slight numbness in his palm, which was the aftermath of the huge impact force that shook the gun body.
He guessed that the other party's feelings were not too different from his own.
The smoke had basically dissipated, and Salas was gradually able to see Robin in front of him clearly.
Robin waved the knife in his hand like a demonstration, and let out a disdainful sneer.
Salas straightened up and looked around, seeing angels, demon hunters, bats and Robin around him...
I sigh again, I shouldn't wear this body, my luck is really bad.
Was surrounded by decent.
"What's this for?" Salas shrugged innocently, "By bullying the few with more? It's the villain's right to bully the few with more, superheroes."
He heard Robin snort coldly.
Salas curled his lips, then turned his head and said softly to Robin: "Isn't it? A superhero? You have to know that there are always more villains than you, my dear."
He raised his eyebrows with a gentle expression and a provocative tone.
For some reason, when facing Robin, he always unconsciously had the urge to provoke him.
Robin's hand holding the handle of the knife was even stronger. If his face hadn't been blocked by the hood and mask, Salas would have appreciated his angry expression.
"Robin." Batman stopped Robin from impulsively running over to duel with Salas in a low tone.
Robin pouted, but stopped.
Turning his head, he said to Salas, "Meet you again, magician."
Obviously, he is still the Batman with problems, Salas thought to himself, he really can't expect a little bit of luck from the body.
So he raised his hand and made a gesture of rejection.
Then sincerely said to the fake Batman: "Sorry, I don't talk to fake Batman."
Batman: "..."
Batman: "?"
Robin raised his eyebrows and said with a "you're crazy" expression, "What are you talking about?"
"Don't you know that the bat next to you is fake?" Salas said sincerely, "Do you know what he said to me when we met last time? He actually wants to recruit me? You know that the bat wants to recruit a Villains?!"
In fact, it's not recruiting, but letting him do something, but who cares, the bat wants to use him with the intention of recruiting him.
Who is Salas, he will not be fooled by this fake bat.
At that time, it was Red Robin who was with Batman, not the current one. Obviously, Bat wouldn't tell his assistant everything, so Robin didn't know about it.
So he turned his head and said to the bat: "When did you change your strategy? Others still don't follow you."
Of course, Robin doesn't think that the Batman who gets along with him day and night is fake, but he can also clearly feel the difference between Bat and him from Salas' description.
Robin is a bit pissed about this, mostly because he doesn't have a good sense for villains, this one in particular.
Like Salas, he doesn't like the villain too much.
Bat remained silent, and he didn't know why, the threats and demands he thought were normal sounded so strange to Salas, as if—as if he was begging the other party to join his team.
The question is, has he ever done such a thing?Looking at the determination on the other side's face, Batman must also think about the authenticity of this matter——
Is he the one invited in the dream?
Salas was really dreaming.
So he spoke again, and shouted, "Robin, things are not what you think."
Robin rolled his eyes and mocked: "Obviously, many things are not as I thought."
Salas looked at him with great interest, and unexpectedly found that he liked the way Robin and Batman were arguing for him. Regardless of whether the bat was real or not, that scene made him feel very good.As if he was their center, he likes to be the center of other people's eyes.
He even said very hypocritically: "Listen, you two, I don't intend to cause your quarrel, well, I'm just stating a fact."
It seems that Robin has decided that this is a real bat. Salas thought regretfully that since this is the case, he has no obligation to change other people's minds.
"Why don't you discuss it again, and I'll leave first?" He pointed outside.
After speaking, he moved his legs and prepared to leave before they could say anything.
Who knew that as soon as he took a step, a bat dart was inserted into the ground in front of him.
Of course, he wasn't afraid of a batarang or two, he stopped only because they were outnumbered.
As a humble and weak villain, Salas knows how to judge the situation, so he stops.
"I meant what I said last time," said the Bat again.
So I said that there must be something wrong with this Batman. I don't know why Robin didn't see it... Could it be that Robin is also a fake?
Salas thought.
"I didn't finish some words before, you can listen to it before making a decision." Batman continued.
He asked Salas to provide him with information not only to shorten the distance between him and the other party, but also to solve the current problem faster.
The dangers of the weapons that may be related to alien technology have been verified in other cities, and Batman doesn't want these weapons to be used in Gotham.
In particular, Gotham has a group of criminals who are changing their ways and want to play new ideas on the road of crime and play out of the realm.
Letting them get this batch of weapons is waiting to add "freshness" to Batman's future life.
Batman wasn't expecting this novelty at all.
As for why you chose Salas?More because Salas is currently his best choice.
Salas didn't know that when he went to school with peace of mind, there was progress on the batch of weapons.
He guessed right, the other party had indeed contacted many people in Gotham, and what they provided were basically fake products. Then, after this matter was stirred up on the road, they took the real products and waited for several companies to compete.
Batman tried to disguise his identity to enter this auction house. Who knows that the other party only does business with criminals, and only with a few top bosses in Gotham. Others with problematic or possibly problematic identities will not be accepted.
Batman can create a new identity for himself, but it is impossible to make his identity reach the level required by the other party in the short term.
So he can only find the right object.
It is impossible for Double-Face and Penguin to give up these weapons. After all the calculations, only Salas is the most suitable.
Because he is the only one among all the people who has no interest in the weapon itself.
However, Salas was not interested in his proposal at all: "I don't want to make a decision whether I listen to it or not, Your Excellency."
Salas said indifferently: "My interest in this matter is almost equal to zero."
"But aren't you interested in the person who plotted against Penguin?" Batman said the key point in one sentence.
Salas paused for a few seconds, thinking about it, but still couldn't say the word "not interested".
He really can't lie to himself, because in the whole thing, he is the only one who has a little interest in that person - the one who dares to play the whole Gotham people and really grabs what they want Guys, it's so gutsy and so much fun.
He was very curious about who that person was, and it seemed that he was no ordinary villain.
but……
"OK, OK, but that's none of your business, isn't it, sir?" Salas spread his hands, "I don't need to share the information with you, do I?"
After he finished speaking, he grinned and showed a mischievous smile.
"You can't fool me." Salas shrugged, "Even if you connect my curiosity about that person with your cooperation, it's useless. I don't want you to change concepts secretly. I'm curious about him. I'll check it myself, don't I need to cooperate with you? It's a bit too much for you to confuse these two things."
Batman realizes again that he's smart, and that smartness is reflected in the clarity of his thinking -- Batman does have the idea of mixing two things up.
"So, goodbye." Salas spread his palms and made a goodbye gesture, "Goodbye Angel, next time we have a chance to fight, goodbye Demon Hunter, I will catch you next time, goodbye Robin, your knife Good use, goodbye bats who don’t know the truth, I don’t like your routine.”
He said goodbye to everyone except Peter - he was still a little angry.
After saying goodbye, he left with pride like a victorious general—verbally defeating a Batman who doesn't know the truth should be considered an achievement.
Then he was stopped mercilessly.
"Chaoying, we have already made sense of what happened just now." Salas said helplessly, "I have clearly expressed my attitude."
"I already understand your attitude as a magician." Batman said, "But are you also trying to secretly change the concept? Just because you don't want to cooperate with us doesn't mean we will let you go."
The smile on Salas's face slowly collapsed. He guessed that Batman smiled. Although he didn't see it from the other person's face, he could feel the happy mood when the other party returned his original words. .
As expected, his luck is very low, and next time he wants to deceive the other party, he still has to choose a body with natural affinity.
"Since you don't want to, go to Arkham. I have prepared a good place for you in Arkham." Batman said with rare humor, although his humor was not funny at all.
"Really?" Salas said.
"Are you sure you want to say no?" Batman asked back.
"Okay." Salas said, "I didn't want to do this, but you forced me."
After he finished speaking, a man with medium-length hair suddenly fell from the sky.
As soon as the man landed on the ground, he stretched out his hand towards the sky.
"Who said I have no helper." Salas said with his finger on his lips. Of course, this is not his helper, but another body he just summoned—Tesla, but this does not prevent him from doing so. Batman said no?
Isn't it just that there are too many people?As if who is less than the other, although Salas has only one, but he has many vests!
Salas, who was wearing a Tesla vest, decisively released his ultimate move [Human Myth - Thunder and Lightning Descending].
This big move is the reason why Salas chose this body in this situation-a group attack, forced electric shock within a certain range, and cannot move after producing a paralyzing effect.
No one expected that someone would suddenly appear under Batman's nose, including Batman.
He reacted, but his reaction to a completely unfamiliar opponent was still a little slow.
In just a moment, Salas had already released an electric current.
He doesn't need to trap them for a long time, as long as he has a little time, he can walk away wearing Diarmuid's body—hey, he didn't abandon his body and run away this time.
"Goodbye again, everyone." Salas greeted with a smile, and then quickly evacuated the scene with his two bodies.
Ten seconds later, the other people on the scene had already broken free from the paralyzing effect, but by this time Salas had already run away.
"He ran away again." Robin yelled angrily. Salas had fought against them many times before, and he had no record of being caught so far—since his body could be abandoned at any time, it would be impossible if he hadn't been caught. Nothing strange.
Instead, Batman stared at the back of Salas leaving, as if thinking of something.
But he didn't say anything to the others, and turned to look at the witcher and the angel after a while.
He had been at the other end of Peter's communicator just now, and he already knew the specific situation.
"That Lucifer..." Peter said after hesitating for a while, he was actually not sure if the other party was the person the angel was looking for.
"It doesn't matter, Spider-Man," Batman said. "I always knew that the number one came to Gotham, and I've been watching him."
Only Batman can make surveillance as normal as drinking water.
As for the gun of the Winchester brothers, if nothing else happens, it should be related to the goods this time - Batman still got a weapon list, which mentioned such a weapon - a batch of alien weapons There are weapons on the magic side, this matter needs more investigation.
Of course, that thing was not named Winchester, so he had to think about how to deal with it later.
Peter nodded. Like the witcher, he didn't know Batman's true psychology. After seeing the situation clearly, he was a little happy and relaxed.
After a while, he said nervously, "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."
After speaking, he wanted to run a little bit, but Batman stopped him with a look.
"I want you to remember that you are Spider-Man." Batman said calmly, "No matter how normal the villains of Gotham appear on the surface, they are inherently problematic."
Peter pursed his lips, not knowing why he was a little unhappy, but he still said, "I know, I will pay attention."
After saying this, he swung away quickly, and the direction he was heading was exactly the direction that Salas left.
Batman took one look, then turned around at last, ready to deal with the rest.
Robin also glanced at it, curled his lips, and didn't bother to care.
"If you follow me again, I will get angry, little spider." Salas stopped and said to the back.
After a few seconds, he saw Peter come out awkwardly.
In fact, after making sure that the bat would not catch up, Salas walked very slowly.
Then, without incident, I saw Peter chasing after him.
He's still a little pissed off.
"Didn't they tell you to stay away from the villains of Gotham?" Salas twisted around, his other body standing beside him.
I don't know if it's because of the stranger next to him, but Peter seems more nervous than when they are alone.
Peter shook his head, not knowing whether it was because no one said that or he didn't agree with it.
Then he glanced at Salas again, and at Salas who was wearing Tesla clothes next to Salas, and then said to Salas with restraint and vigilance: "You can let your Did your friend leave?"
Salas smiled slightly, and didn't tell Peter that this was one of his bodies. He waved his hand as if directing others, but walked away wearing Tesla himself.
When only one body remained, Salas said, "So, what's the matter?"
"Actually, I'm here to tell you..." Peter rubbed his hands, not knowing what to say.
If he's wrong, he's right, he's a superhero, and it's his job to stop Salas.
To be honest, Salas' instinct to throw him out when he encountered danger really made him very happy, and he did disrupt the opponent's plan.
It could only be blamed for their different positions, Peter thought sadly.
When Salas saw him, he hesitated for a long time without saying anything, but in the end he had to speak, and his mood, which was a little better, turned bad again.
"Obviously, you haven't figured it out yet." He turned around, as if to ignore people and walk straight away.
Peter quickly stopped him again: "I, I mean..."
He rubbed his hands and looked at Salas nervously.
"Okay, I know you're a superhero, and it's right for you to stop me." Salas stopped him from continuing. Of course he was still very angry, but he didn't want to see Peter like this.
Peter heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that Salas was about to leave again, he hurriedly followed.
Salas took a step back.
After a while, Salas took Peter to the top of Wayne Tower.
Peter recognized at a glance that it was the place where Batman often stayed, so he was a little nervous, but Salas still boarded there as if he didn't feel anything.
So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go with Salas.
"Gotham is very beautiful." Salas and Peter stood side by side on the top of Gotham's tower, and said to him seriously, "What do you think?"
Gotham has always been a beautiful city in the eyes of Gothamites, even with all the nasty stuff that lurks beneath it.
His beauty may be incomprehensible to those outsiders, but to Salas, to everyone in Gotham, it is deeply rooted in the bone marrow.
After all, Peter is new to Gotham, and he doesn't have a deep feeling for Gotham. The only thing he remembers is the fact that he was attacked several times when he came——
One time, not long after he and Tony came to Gotham, when they arrived at the hotel, he met an old woman who fell on the ground and subconsciously wanted to help her, but who knew that the other party was pretending, just to grab his money when he approached.
Now is his experience of being attacked several times.
Afterwards, Tony and Peter said that Gotham is a dangerous city, and everyone in Gotham is also a dangerous person, no matter how harmless that person looks.
Peter remembered this deeply.
However, even so, he could understand the meaning of the villain in front of him.
Gotham is ugly, Gotham is beautiful, Gotham is home.
"You like this city very much?" Peter asked subconsciously, "Since you like this city very much, why don't you guard this city like Batman?"
"Little spider, you don't understand." Salas squinted his eyes, looked at Peter with a half-smile, and then said, "Whether it's for me, or for bats, or for other people in this city, Gotham is now This is what suits us best.”
The villains of Gotham are trying to make the city worse every minute of the day.
Batman wants to save the city, they just want to destroy the city.
Because a place that is too clean is not suitable for mice to grow.
Peter blinked, not quite understanding.
"Batman tried hard to save the city, but neither he nor anyone else knew that Batman couldn't save the city, all he could do was try his best to grab the edge of the city and let him die It’s just not so fast.” Salas said, “And some people just want the city to rot faster.”
Peter seemed to understand what he was talking about again.
"Do you also want this city to... rot?" Peter hesitated for a while, and finally asked, "You think this city is the best for everyone, so you want Gotham to stay like this forever?" , or...is it getting worse?"
In fact, it was a bit offensive for him to ask, but he asked it anyway.
"Me? I don't care." Salas tilted his head, he pointed the gun on the ground, rested his chin on the end of the gun, supported his body, and said vaguely, "The most suitable does not mean that I think it must be In this way, whether it is good or bad, it is a Gotham in my eyes."
"So I don't want to save this city, nor do I want to harm this city, all I want is to play." Salas straightened up, "I like this city very much, but I don't care about its fate, its ups and downs , are all part of destiny, this concept is too big, I am lazy, so just grab what I have and I will be satisfied."
After meeting, Peter secretly checked the magician's information. This villain is indeed as he said, neither good nor evil, and self-centered.
He said that his interest in Batman is also because he wants to play, not because he has good intentions for Batman, that's all.
Including his current treatment of Peter, it is just because Peter is the most interesting person he has met recently and the person who can arouse his interest the most.
Peter suddenly felt a little disappointed, probably because the person in front of him was so cold by nature.
"You seem disappointed?" Salas asked after seeing Peter's expression.
Peter shook his head, calmed down, and shook his head: "No."
That's right, magicians are villains in the first place, and villains are not cool, so how could they become villains?
He should still listen to Batman a little bit, and don't get too used to approaching a villain with the attitude of treating a superhero.
After thinking this through, Peter relaxed.
"I still have something to do, so I'm leaving." Peter said to Salas. Although he knew that the other party was a villain, after all, there was no conflict between the two sides, and Peter would not lose the courtesy he should have.
It's time for him to go back, so many things happened in one night, and he still has class tomorrow.
After speaking, he took out the spider silk launcher and left shaking.
Salas turned his head to look at the direction Peter left for a while before turning back.
He told the truth to Peter just now, he really likes this city, and he really doesn't care what the future of this city is.
The city was neither too good nor too bad for him, why should he pay more for it just to like it?
If the Wayne family hadn't been born here, he probably wouldn't even like it here.
Salas let out a long breath.
It was getting late, and it was time for him to go back to sleep.
Who knew that just as he left, his face suddenly changed.
Oops, the house was stolen.
Peter was also running quickly towards the dormitory.
It wasn't because he was in a hurry to go home, but because he suddenly received a message from the monitor placed in the dormitory on the way—someone had entered his and Salas' dormitory.
He immediately passed the news to the bat, but for some reason, the communicator between him and the other party was completely disconnected, and he could not contact him at all.
Now Peter can only hold Batman's wish to know everything, and then desperately rush to the dormitory.
By the time he arrives, his desperate development Batman isn't there.
In other words, this room is not waiting for anyone other than him.
"Meet you again, Peter." Lucifer raised his hand to greet Peter, and the moment Peter stepped into the window of the dormitory, the window disappeared directly - obviously there was no plan to welcome the second guest here.
Peter raised his head and looked in the direction of Salas. Fortunately, although Salas's hair was a bit messy, he was in good spirits, but he just woke up and was not in a good mood.
He looked at Peter with strange eyes, and Peter guessed it was because the armor on his body was a bit beyond Salas' expectations - after all, anyone who saw his classmates wearing masks and dressed like robbers would feel strange .
Peter had already figured out the reason for Salas, and felt that the situation was urgent, so he had to explain his identity first.
So he decisively tore off the mask, and simply revealed his identity.
"I'm Spider-Man," he said as if awaiting a verdict.
I know you're Spider-Man, Saras, who had just met, thought so.
But Sarah Wayne shouldn't know, so he showed a little bit of bewilderment as Peter expected, and then suddenly said: "Are you a superhero?"
Peter nodded.
"But isn't Spider-Man a good neighbor in New York?" Salas asked again.
This... how should I answer?Should I say that Spider-Man has to go to school too?Peter felt that this question was complicated, and he didn't know how to answer it.
Fortunately, Salas didn't care about his answers. After all, he knew the real situation better than Peter. Asking questions was just a habit of pretending to embarrass Peter.
He turned his head and looked at Lucifer, who had been looking at them with profound eyes - now he was sure that he was Lucifer.
"May I ask who are you?" He appropriately displayed a near-perfect alienation and defense, which was in line with the complex feelings of an ignorant person suddenly discovering that the students around him have secret identities.
However, it seemed that Lucifer didn't appreciate his excellent acting skills, and looked at him with unpredictable eyes, as if he already knew his real situation.
Salas returned his silly smile very calmly.
"Obviously, you sold my identity, so you should know who I am." Lucifer said with a smile.
Salas guessed that Peter probably didn't notice that Lucifer actually meant "you" instead of "you". Of course, Salas felt that he was a bit wronged. He wanted to sell Lucifer, but he hadn't had time yet. .
Peter became nervous, he probably didn't expect Lucifer to know so soon - but, think about it, this is an easy thing to find out, after all, the battle took place in the school - so it's not so much that he is strange about Lucifer Finding out so quickly, or rather, he reacted so quickly after discovering it, and found Salas, which really made people feel a little at a loss.
Salas is just an ordinary person, and the only special thing about it is that he is the son of Bruce Wayne, Peter thought so, and immediately became nervous again thinking about it.
Didn't Lucifer catch Salas because he knew he was Batman's son?
No, although Batman got involved in today's events, but it was Castiel who was looking for Lucifer, so his first target should be Castiel.
Or is it that Salas was implicated by him only because he exposed Lucifer's identity?Peter felt guilty, and even looked at Salas and became guilty.
However, Salas knew that this was not the case, and his intuition told him that the reason why Lucifer would arrest him was very simple - he knew that Salas was a magician, or he knew it all along.
He saw the same kind in Lucifer's eyes—the same kind who wanted to have some fun because the world was too boring.
"But I'm not angry, and I'm going to invite you to come with me." Lucifer said, keeping his eyes on Salas, "Of course, you can also think that I'm going to kidnap you in an unfriendly way." .”
Before everyone could react, Salas reacted decisively and jumped up suddenly.
It is impossible to abandon the body. He had already abandoned it once last time, and the second time he was forced to abandon his body by an unknown creature would be a loss of face.
This time, he wants to leave openly.
Robin beside Batman reacted quickly, he pulled out the knife behind his back and slashed at Salas directly.
Salas has observed, several Robins of Bat, this one is the most irritable one.
"Robin!" He looked at the knife.Feng was about to touch Salas' shoulder, and Peter shouted instinctively.
However, in the next second, Salas smiled slightly, turned around, and avoided the knife.Front, immediately long.The gun came out of his hand, directly piercing Robin's cloak, and the inertia nailed it to the ground.
His right hand was hooked to the butt end of the gun, and his left foot was on the ground.
"Sorry, Robin, I don't really want to have a conflict with the bat in question." After speaking, he drew his gun and was about to walk away.
Unexpectedly, Robin's reaction was very fast, and several bat darts flew directly towards Salas.
Salas was also very flexible and grabbed two bat darts, but he knew it was not good as soon as he caught it.
Sure enough, the next second, the batarang exploded in the air, and thick smoke filled the surroundings of Salas.
Thick smoke blocked Salas' vision, making him unable to see anything for a while.
But not being able to see does not mean not being able to hear. Almost immediately after losing his vision, he heard the sound of sharp blades piercing the wind.
Without even thinking about it, he resolutely raised the gun in his hand in the direction of the sound.
Clang——
It was the sound of metal on metal colliding.
Salas felt a slight numbness in his palm, which was the aftermath of the huge impact force that shook the gun body.
He guessed that the other party's feelings were not too different from his own.
The smoke had basically dissipated, and Salas was gradually able to see Robin in front of him clearly.
Robin waved the knife in his hand like a demonstration, and let out a disdainful sneer.
Salas straightened up and looked around, seeing angels, demon hunters, bats and Robin around him...
I sigh again, I shouldn't wear this body, my luck is really bad.
Was surrounded by decent.
"What's this for?" Salas shrugged innocently, "By bullying the few with more? It's the villain's right to bully the few with more, superheroes."
He heard Robin snort coldly.

Obviously, he is still the Batman with problems, Salas thought to himself, he really can't expect a little bit of luck from the body.
So he raised his hand and made a gesture of rejection.
Then sincerely said to the fake Batman: "Sorry, I don't talk to fake Batman."
Batman: "..."

Robin raised his eyebrows and said with a "you're crazy" expression, "What are you talking about?"
"Don't you know that the bat next to you is fake?" Salas said sincerely, "Do you know what he said to me when we met last time? He actually wants to recruit me? You know that the bat wants to recruit a Villains?!"
In fact, it's not recruiting, but letting him do something, but who cares, the bat wants to use him with the intention of recruiting him.
Who is Salas, he will not be fooled by this fake bat.
At that time, it was Red Robin who was with Batman, not the current one. Obviously, Bat wouldn't tell his assistant everything, so Robin didn't know about it.
So he turned his head and said to the bat: "When did you change your strategy? Others still don't follow you."
Of course, Robin doesn't think that the Batman who gets along with him day and night is fake, but he can also clearly feel the difference between Bat and him from Salas' description.

He asked Salas to provide him with information not only to shorten the distance between him and the other party, but also to solve the current problem faster.
The dangers of the weapons that may be related to alien technology have been verified in other cities, and Batman doesn't want these weapons to be used in Gotham.
In particular, Gotham has a group of criminals who are changing their ways and want to play new ideas on the road of crime and play out of the realm.
Letting them get this batch of weapons is waiting to add "freshness" to Batman's future life.
Batman wasn't expecting this novelty at all.
As for why you chose Salas?More because Salas is currently his best choice.
Salas didn't know that when he went to school with peace of mind, there was progress on the batch of weapons.
He guessed right, the other party had indeed contacted many people in Gotham, and what they provided were basically fake products. Then, after this matter was stirred up on the road, they took the real products and waited for several companies to compete.
Batman tried to disguise his identity to enter this auction house. Who knows that the other party only does business with criminals, and only with a few top bosses in Gotham. Others with problematic or possibly problematic identities will not be accepted.
Batman can create a new identity for himself, but it is impossible to make his identity reach the level required by the other party in the short term.
So he can only find the right object.
It is impossible for Double-Face and Penguin to give up these weapons. After all the calculations, only Salas is the most suitable.
Because he is the only one among all the people who has no interest in the weapon itself.
However, Salas was not interested in his proposal at all: "I don't want to make a decision whether I listen to it or not, Your Excellency."
Salas said indifferently: "My interest in this matter is almost equal to zero."
"But aren't you interested in the person who plotted against Penguin?" Batman said the key point in one sentence.
Salas paused for a few seconds, thinking about it, but still couldn't say the word "not interested".
He really can't lie to himself, because in the whole thing, he is the only one who has a little interest in that person - the one who dares to play the whole Gotham people and really grabs what they want Guys, it's so gutsy and so much fun.
He was very curious about who that person was, and it seemed that he was no ordinary villain.
but……
"OK, OK, but that's none of your business, isn't it, sir?" Salas spread his hands, "I don't need to share the information with you, do I?"
After he finished speaking, he grinned and showed a mischievous smile.
"You can't fool me." Salas shrugged, "Even if you connect my curiosity about that person with your cooperation, it's useless. I don't want you to change concepts secretly. I'm curious about him. I'll check it myself, don't I need to cooperate with you? It's a bit too much for you to confuse these two things."
Batman realizes again that he's smart, and that smartness is reflected in the clarity of his thinking -- Batman does have the idea of mixing two things up.
"So, goodbye." Salas spread his palms and made a goodbye gesture, "Goodbye Angel, next time we have a chance to fight, goodbye Demon Hunter, I will catch you next time, goodbye Robin, your knife Good use, goodbye bats who don’t know the truth, I don’t like your routine.”
He said goodbye to everyone except Peter - he was still a little angry.
After saying goodbye, he left with pride like a victorious general—verbally defeating a Batman who doesn't know the truth should be considered an achievement.
Then he was stopped mercilessly.
"Chaoying, we have already made sense of what happened just now." Salas said helplessly, "I have clearly expressed my attitude."
"I already understand your attitude as a magician." Batman said, "But are you also trying to secretly change the concept? Just because you don't want to cooperate with us doesn't mean we will let you go."
The smile on Salas's face slowly collapsed. He guessed that Batman smiled. Although he didn't see it from the other person's face, he could feel the happy mood when the other party returned his original words. .
As expected, his luck is very low, and next time he wants to deceive the other party, he still has to choose a body with natural affinity.
"Since you don't want to, go to Arkham. I have prepared a good place for you in Arkham." Batman said with rare humor, although his humor was not funny at all.
"Really?" Salas said.
"Are you sure you want to say no?" Batman asked back.
"Okay." Salas said, "I didn't want to do this, but you forced me."
After he finished speaking, a man with medium-length hair suddenly fell from the sky.
As soon as the man landed on the ground, he stretched out his hand towards the sky.
"Who said I have no helper." Salas said with his finger on his lips. Of course, this is not his helper, but another body he just summoned—Tesla, but this does not prevent him from doing so. Batman said no?
Isn't it just that there are too many people?As if who is less than the other, although Salas has only one, but he has many vests!
Salas, who was wearing a Tesla vest, decisively released his ultimate move [Human Myth - Thunder and Lightning Descending].
This big move is the reason why Salas chose this body in this situation-a group attack, forced electric shock within a certain range, and cannot move after producing a paralyzing effect.
No one expected that someone would suddenly appear under Batman's nose, including Batman.
He reacted, but his reaction to a completely unfamiliar opponent was still a little slow.
In just a moment, Salas had already released an electric current.
He doesn't need to trap them for a long time, as long as he has a little time, he can walk away wearing Diarmuid's body—hey, he didn't abandon his body and run away this time.
"Goodbye again, everyone." Salas greeted with a smile, and then quickly evacuated the scene with his two bodies.
Ten seconds later, the other people on the scene had already broken free from the paralyzing effect, but by this time Salas had already run away.
"He ran away again." Robin yelled angrily. Salas had fought against them many times before, and he had no record of being caught so far—since his body could be abandoned at any time, it would be impossible if he hadn't been caught. Nothing strange.
Instead, Batman stared at the back of Salas leaving, as if thinking of something.
But he didn't say anything to the others, and turned to look at the witcher and the angel after a while.
He had been at the other end of Peter's communicator just now, and he already knew the specific situation.
"That Lucifer..." Peter said after hesitating for a while, he was actually not sure if the other party was the person the angel was looking for.
"It doesn't matter, Spider-Man," Batman said. "I always knew that the number one came to Gotham, and I've been watching him."
Only Batman can make surveillance as normal as drinking water.
As for the gun of the Winchester brothers, if nothing else happens, it should be related to the goods this time - Batman still got a weapon list, which mentioned such a weapon - a batch of alien weapons There are weapons on the magic side, this matter needs more investigation.
Of course, that thing was not named Winchester, so he had to think about how to deal with it later.
Peter nodded. Like the witcher, he didn't know Batman's true psychology. After seeing the situation clearly, he was a little happy and relaxed.
After a while, he said nervously, "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."
After speaking, he wanted to run a little bit, but Batman stopped him with a look.
"I want you to remember that you are Spider-Man." Batman said calmly, "No matter how normal the villains of Gotham appear on the surface, they are inherently problematic."
Peter pursed his lips, not knowing why he was a little unhappy, but he still said, "I know, I will pay attention."
After saying this, he swung away quickly, and the direction he was heading was exactly the direction that Salas left.
Batman took one look, then turned around at last, ready to deal with the rest.
Robin also glanced at it, curled his lips, and didn't bother to care.
"If you follow me again, I will get angry, little spider." Salas stopped and said to the back.
After a few seconds, he saw Peter come out awkwardly.
In fact, after making sure that the bat would not catch up, Salas walked very slowly.
Then, without incident, I saw Peter chasing after him.
He's still a little pissed off.
"Didn't they tell you to stay away from the villains of Gotham?" Salas twisted around, his other body standing beside him.
I don't know if it's because of the stranger next to him, but Peter seems more nervous than when they are alone.
Peter shook his head, not knowing whether it was because no one said that or he didn't agree with it.
Then he glanced at Salas again, and at Salas who was wearing Tesla clothes next to Salas, and then said to Salas with restraint and vigilance: "You can let your Did your friend leave?"
Salas smiled slightly, and didn't tell Peter that this was one of his bodies. He waved his hand as if directing others, but walked away wearing Tesla himself.
When only one body remained, Salas said, "So, what's the matter?"
"Actually, I'm here to tell you..." Peter rubbed his hands, not knowing what to say.
If he's wrong, he's right, he's a superhero, and it's his job to stop Salas.
To be honest, Salas' instinct to throw him out when he encountered danger really made him very happy, and he did disrupt the opponent's plan.
It could only be blamed for their different positions, Peter thought sadly.
When Salas saw him, he hesitated for a long time without saying anything, but in the end he had to speak, and his mood, which was a little better, turned bad again.
"Obviously, you haven't figured it out yet." He turned around, as if to ignore people and walk straight away.
Peter quickly stopped him again: "I, I mean..."
He rubbed his hands and looked at Salas nervously.
"Okay, I know you're a superhero, and it's right for you to stop me." Salas stopped him from continuing. Of course he was still very angry, but he didn't want to see Peter like this.
Peter heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that Salas was about to leave again, he hurriedly followed.
Salas took a step back.
After a while, Salas took Peter to the top of Wayne Tower.
Peter recognized at a glance that it was the place where Batman often stayed, so he was a little nervous, but Salas still boarded there as if he didn't feel anything.
So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go with Salas.
"Gotham is very beautiful." Salas and Peter stood side by side on the top of Gotham's tower, and said to him seriously, "What do you think?"
Gotham has always been a beautiful city in the eyes of Gothamites, even with all the nasty stuff that lurks beneath it.
His beauty may be incomprehensible to those outsiders, but to Salas, to everyone in Gotham, it is deeply rooted in the bone marrow.
After all, Peter is new to Gotham, and he doesn't have a deep feeling for Gotham. The only thing he remembers is the fact that he was attacked several times when he came——
One time, not long after he and Tony came to Gotham, when they arrived at the hotel, he met an old woman who fell on the ground and subconsciously wanted to help her, but who knew that the other party was pretending, just to grab his money when he approached.
Now is his experience of being attacked several times.
Afterwards, Tony and Peter said that Gotham is a dangerous city, and everyone in Gotham is also a dangerous person, no matter how harmless that person looks.
Peter remembered this deeply.
However, even so, he could understand the meaning of the villain in front of him.
Gotham is ugly, Gotham is beautiful, Gotham is home.
"You like this city very much?" Peter asked subconsciously, "Since you like this city very much, why don't you guard this city like Batman?"
"Little spider, you don't understand." Salas squinted his eyes, looked at Peter with a half-smile, and then said, "Whether it's for me, or for bats, or for other people in this city, Gotham is now This is what suits us best.”
The villains of Gotham are trying to make the city worse every minute of the day.
Batman wants to save the city, they just want to destroy the city.
Because a place that is too clean is not suitable for mice to grow.
Peter blinked, not quite understanding.
"Batman tried hard to save the city, but neither he nor anyone else knew that Batman couldn't save the city, all he could do was try his best to grab the edge of the city and let him die It’s just not so fast.” Salas said, “And some people just want the city to rot faster.”
Peter seemed to understand what he was talking about again.
"Do you also want this city to... rot?" Peter hesitated for a while, and finally asked, "You think this city is the best for everyone, so you want Gotham to stay like this forever?" , or...is it getting worse?"
In fact, it was a bit offensive for him to ask, but he asked it anyway.
"Me? I don't care." Salas tilted his head, he pointed the gun on the ground, rested his chin on the end of the gun, supported his body, and said vaguely, "The most suitable does not mean that I think it must be In this way, whether it is good or bad, it is a Gotham in my eyes."
"So I don't want to save this city, nor do I want to harm this city, all I want is to play." Salas straightened up, "I like this city very much, but I don't care about its fate, its ups and downs , are all part of destiny, this concept is too big, I am lazy, so just grab what I have and I will be satisfied."
After meeting, Peter secretly checked the magician's information. This villain is indeed as he said, neither good nor evil, and self-centered.
He said that his interest in Batman is also because he wants to play, not because he has good intentions for Batman, that's all.
Including his current treatment of Peter, it is just because Peter is the most interesting person he has met recently and the person who can arouse his interest the most.
Peter suddenly felt a little disappointed, probably because the person in front of him was so cold by nature.
"You seem disappointed?" Salas asked after seeing Peter's expression.
Peter shook his head, calmed down, and shook his head: "No."
That's right, magicians are villains in the first place, and villains are not cool, so how could they become villains?
He should still listen to Batman a little bit, and don't get too used to approaching a villain with the attitude of treating a superhero.
After thinking this through, Peter relaxed.
"I still have something to do, so I'm leaving." Peter said to Salas. Although he knew that the other party was a villain, after all, there was no conflict between the two sides, and Peter would not lose the courtesy he should have.
It's time for him to go back, so many things happened in one night, and he still has class tomorrow.
After speaking, he took out the spider silk launcher and left shaking.
Salas turned his head to look at the direction Peter left for a while before turning back.
He told the truth to Peter just now, he really likes this city, and he really doesn't care what the future of this city is.
The city was neither too good nor too bad for him, why should he pay more for it just to like it?
If the Wayne family hadn't been born here, he probably wouldn't even like it here.
Salas let out a long breath.
It was getting late, and it was time for him to go back to sleep.
Who knew that just as he left, his face suddenly changed.
Oops, the house was stolen.
Peter was also running quickly towards the dormitory.
It wasn't because he was in a hurry to go home, but because he suddenly received a message from the monitor placed in the dormitory on the way—someone had entered his and Salas' dormitory.
He immediately passed the news to the bat, but for some reason, the communicator between him and the other party was completely disconnected, and he could not contact him at all.
Now Peter can only hold Batman's wish to know everything, and then desperately rush to the dormitory.
By the time he arrives, his desperate development Batman isn't there.
In other words, this room is not waiting for anyone other than him.
"Meet you again, Peter." Lucifer raised his hand to greet Peter, and the moment Peter stepped into the window of the dormitory, the window disappeared directly - obviously there was no plan to welcome the second guest here.
Peter raised his head and looked in the direction of Salas. Fortunately, although Salas's hair was a bit messy, he was in good spirits, but he just woke up and was not in a good mood.
He looked at Peter with strange eyes, and Peter guessed it was because the armor on his body was a bit beyond Salas' expectations - after all, anyone who saw his classmates wearing masks and dressed like robbers would feel strange .
Peter had already figured out the reason for Salas, and felt that the situation was urgent, so he had to explain his identity first.
So he decisively tore off the mask, and simply revealed his identity.
"I'm Spider-Man," he said as if awaiting a verdict.
I know you're Spider-Man, Saras, who had just met, thought so.
But Sarah Wayne shouldn't know, so he showed a little bit of bewilderment as Peter expected, and then suddenly said: "Are you a superhero?"
Peter nodded.
"But isn't Spider-Man a good neighbor in New York?" Salas asked again.
This... how should I answer?Should I say that Spider-Man has to go to school too?Peter felt that this question was complicated, and he didn't know how to answer it.
Fortunately, Salas didn't care about his answers. After all, he knew the real situation better than Peter. Asking questions was just a habit of pretending to embarrass Peter.
He turned his head and looked at Lucifer, who had been looking at them with profound eyes - now he was sure that he was Lucifer.
"May I ask who are you?" He appropriately displayed a near-perfect alienation and defense, which was in line with the complex feelings of an ignorant person suddenly discovering that the students around him have secret identities.
However, it seemed that Lucifer didn't appreciate his excellent acting skills, and looked at him with unpredictable eyes, as if he already knew his real situation.
Salas returned his silly smile very calmly.
"Obviously, you sold my identity, so you should know who I am." Lucifer said with a smile.
Salas guessed that Peter probably didn't notice that Lucifer actually meant "you" instead of "you". Of course, Salas felt that he was a bit wronged. He wanted to sell Lucifer, but he hadn't had time yet. .
Peter became nervous, he probably didn't expect Lucifer to know so soon - but, think about it, this is an easy thing to find out, after all, the battle took place in the school - so it's not so much that he is strange about Lucifer Finding out so quickly, or rather, he reacted so quickly after discovering it, and found Salas, which really made people feel a little at a loss.
Salas is just an ordinary person, and the only special thing about it is that he is the son of Bruce Wayne, Peter thought so, and immediately became nervous again thinking about it.
Didn't Lucifer catch Salas because he knew he was Batman's son?
No, although Batman got involved in today's events, but it was Castiel who was looking for Lucifer, so his first target should be Castiel.
Or is it that Salas was implicated by him only because he exposed Lucifer's identity?Peter felt guilty, and even looked at Salas and became guilty.
However, Salas knew that this was not the case, and his intuition told him that the reason why Lucifer would arrest him was very simple - he knew that Salas was a magician, or he knew it all along.
He saw the same kind in Lucifer's eyes—the same kind who wanted to have some fun because the world was too boring.
"But I'm not angry, and I'm going to invite you to come with me." Lucifer said, keeping his eyes on Salas, "Of course, you can also think that I'm going to kidnap you in an unfriendly way." .”
