[Comprehensive British and American] Backbones League

lonely?Salas does not want to find someone like him, because he deeply understands that there is no one like him in this world.

"Coming?" Jason squatted on the roof of the building, staring at the scene below.

Salas landed at his side, pressing his hat to avoid being blown away.

Bruce is going to a party with Selina tonight, and his villainous friends have teamed up to prepare him for a big show -- having the Joker kill his friends in front of him.

The play has already begun, and Salas belatedly arrives at a climax.

"How did you convince him?" Salas looked at the people below. He saw the clown being pushed to the ground by Batman. Batman was raising his fist angrily, punching the clown in the face.

Just now, the Joker has completed his mission by killing his friend, Thomas Elliott.

It's ridiculous, both Salas and Jason know that the so-called Thomas Elliott is not a good man, his true identity, silence, a villain, he is not even dead.

But Bruce didn't know, the past emotion blinded his eyes, he saw the clown in front of him, "killed" his friend during the theater performance, and couldn't control his emotions.

"Convince who?" Jason asked.

"clown."

"Heh, he doesn't need to be persuaded. He also wants to know, when he kills someone close to the bat again, will that person be crazy enough to want to kill him?" Jason said mockingly, as he said, While raising the gun to aim at the entangled Batman and the Joker, he didn't know who the gun was, "He couldn't refuse this."

Salas went to see the clown, and he saw the clown laughing, and shouted loudly enough to be heard in the alley, "See, Bat, again, again."

And Bruce didn't answer him, just asked: "Who released you from Arkham."

"Do you think he will think of me?" Jason asked suddenly, "When he saw the clown killing Hush, would he think that Jason Todd also 'died' at the hands of the clown?"

"He will," Salas replied. "We all know that he will remember."

Because Batman takes everything on his shoulders.

Jason was silent for a second, put down his cock, and smiled: "Yes, we all know he will, he just can always control his emotions perfectly."

Batman can be angry too, or, in fact, he is always angry, but he can always restrain himself.

"Really, Salas, I want to see him lose control, for me, or for you." Jason said, "I want to pull him off the altar, drop him to the ground, and then see that the world cannot be saved, And what is he struggling with?"

Jason is like a poet, sentimental.

Salas has always felt that his second brother is the most artistic among all brothers, and he has a soft little princess in his heart.

But he was right again, and Salas wanted to see it too.

Occasionally he would viciously think that if his father, his brother became like him, maybe he would not suffer so much.

The clown below is still confronting Bruce. He is not afraid of being killed. If his death can prove something, the clown has always been willing.

in case……

"Would you feel happy? What if Bruce killed the clown now?" Salas suddenly raised his head and asked, "But it's not for you?"

Jason remained silent, and the next second, Salas suddenly jumped down.

As soon as he caught Bruce's hand, Bruce punched him backhanded.

He dodged it nimbly, turned over in the air, and landed behind the clown.

"He didn't kill it." Salas stretched out his hand and lowered his hat so that Batman couldn't see his expression. "If you kill him, you kill an innocent person."

"Did you hear that, little bat, you almost killed an innocent person, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha." Probably knowing that his goal was impossible to achieve, the clown laughed loudly.

Batman stood silently: "The Joker is never innocent."

"But this time I'm innocent, little bat, you hear me, this time I'm innocent." The clown yelled loudly, "You almost killed an innocent person."

They all heard the clown talking, and knew how much the clown could arouse Bruce's emotions. Sure enough, Bruce started to get angry again.

"Batman, never admit defeat." Salas said softly, "Never give up."

At this time, Gordon appeared behind Bruce against the wind and rain. He raised his gun and aimed at Bruce.

"Stop it," he said to the bat, "stop it!"

"Jim..." Bruce wanted to tell Gordon that the clown killed many people, ruined many families, and caused Barbara to lose her legs. He is Gotham's nightmare.

Just clowns, just kill one clown.

But he finally said, "Thank you, Jim."

Gordon hates the Joker, and he stops Bruce from killing the Joker, not because he doesn't want the Joker to die, but because he doesn't want the Joker's death to ruin Bruce's life.

Salas watched them, and the old friends understood each other's thoughts in a few words.

He looked up in the direction where Jason was before, and found that Jason was no longer there.

"Why help me?" Bruce watched as Gordon handcuffed the clown and escorted him away, then he turned to ask Salas who stopped him just now.

"Maybe..." Because if Batman has fallen, the city is too hopeless.

Salas didn't finish his sentence, he just lowered his hat and said in a low voice, "It wasn't a clown who killed Thomas Elliott. What you are dealing with is actually a man named Silent."

Of course he wouldn't tell Bruce the answer directly, he wanted to see, conflictingly, how Bruce would handle all this, especially when he knew that Arkham Knight was Jason and Hush was Thomas Elliott.

He had just helped Bruce, but wanted to see his contradictions and pain.

Jason left enough clues to find him. Although he didn't get what he wanted to see Bruce kill the clown, he must want to see what Bruce would look like when he recognized himself.

Disappointment or pain, seeing his child depraved, would he want to kill himself because of it?

Watching Bruce leave, Salas thought for a while and followed. This is the Wayne family's own business.

He went to the destination - the cemetery.

The body of Jason Todd is buried in the cemetery.

When he arrived, Bruce had already arrived, and Jason was wearing the armor of the Arkham Knight, and he was also standing there, holding a person in his hand-Robin who should have been in Arkham, Damian.

Damian was unconscious and was held by Jason.

There was a problem with Arkham, and Salas had known it for a long time, but when the accident happened, the Batman didn't seem to notice it, and he continued to patrol Arkham normally, so that he got caught.

He hid in the dark and watched them, undetected.

"Long time no see, Bruce." Jason said to Bruce.

He didn't deliberately change his voice this time, and Bruce recognized the familiar voice immediately.

"Jason." Bruce's expression seemed to be shocked, relieved, and angry.

Jason smiled: "It seems that you are not alone when I am not around?"

He raised the boy in his hand and said to Bruce: "How many new Robins have you changed? Do they know that they are just a tool that can be replaced at any time?"

"Don't say that!" Bruce said angrily in a low voice.

"Don't say that? Are you because of me, or because of them? Because of your son?" Jason raised his tone and said mockingly, "Oh no, it's not for your son, it's for your useful son, Bruce, look , How much have you accompanied in your career."

"How did you become like this?" Bruce frowned, and even Jason admitted that he could hear the pain in Bruce's tone.

But he doesn't care, Bruce is in pain, he is in pain, does Bruce understand his pain?Does Bruce understand his anger?

"The price of resurrection." Jason laughed in a low voice. He didn't take off the mask. If he took off the mask, Bruce could see the green under his eyes, just like the lunatic from the League of Assassins, "I died in Arkham .”

Yes, he died in Arkham. He was caught by the clown and held in Arkham. After three months of torture, Bruce found him. Unfortunately, he died and was buried in this cemetery inside.

Ironically, he ended up resurrected in Arkham.

It was him who was resurrected by the clown, what was the thing the clown gave him called, the Dionysian factor?The same thing as the water in Lazarus's Pool.

Able to turn him into a lunatic while repairing his body.

Before he was crazy, Jason felt that being crazy was a very scary thing.

After he went crazy, he didn't feel that way anymore. He felt that everything in this world was still the same, but he looked at it from a different angle.

While watching it, he felt that everything in this world was crazy, even Batman was a complete lunatic.

So he came here, looked at Batman, and asked him, "When I died, were you angry?"

do you have anger

Angry to kill the clown?

Angry and want to vent your emotions?

Angry about going crazy?

"I'm very angry." Before Bruce answered, Jason replied, "I'm very angry, but it's not because I'm dead, I'm not afraid of death, but I didn't expect that it was the clown who resurrected me, not you."

"Have you ever thought about resurrecting me?" Jason asked.

Regarding the resurrection, Salas didn't ask, he didn't say anything, he didn't bring it up until he faced Bruce, put it on the table, and questioned him——

Have you ever thought about resurrecting me?

The answer is yes, Bruce thought, he thought about soaking Jason in the Lazarus Pool, but he didn't do it in the end.

Those who climbed up from the pool of Lazarus were all lunatics, as evidenced by Lei Xiaoaogu.

He wanted to resurrect Jason, but not this way.

During that time, Salas knew that Bruce had been constantly blaming himself.

But that wasn't the answer Jason wanted, what he wanted was that Bruce was crazy about him, that he lost his mind and wanted to resurrect him.

He wanted Bruce to prove to him that his love for Jason was above his reason, above his principles.

But it's impossible, maybe no one in this world is more important than his principles and reason - maybe only the Wayne couple.

So Jason would never get the answer he wanted, he just asked another meaningless question.

I'm afraid even he knows it himself.

"You should stop Jason," Bruce said under his breath. "I'm glad you're back, but not like this."

"Isn't it? Isn't it crazy?" Jason replied, "You've always been like this, Bruce, always reluctant to admit that we don't have to follow your path, nor are you replicas."

"I never..."

"Yes, you never thought of treating us as replicas, it's just that you habitually control everything and demand us according to your wishes." Jason replied, "Bruce, when did you admit that we have Crazy? Are we just different from you?"

Salas took a deep breath. Jason didn't ask this question for himself, but for him.

He was asking this question for Salas - I am already so abnormal, can you accept me?Can you accept that not every creature in this world can perfectly meet your requirements, and some are even different in thousands of ways?

Can you accept... I may not be able to be a good person in my whole life, the only thing I can do is to try to make myself not so bad as possible?

Can you... accept that insanity and sickness will be the norm in my future?

Jason was waiting for Bruce's answer, and Salas was waiting for Bruce's answer.

They are all waiting for a result, or a trial.

From those they love, and from their families.

Bruce was silent for a long time, and finally said: "I will hire the best doctor for you."

See, this answer is not so unacceptable.

He actually... didn't find it strange at all, as if he had already thought of the answer.

Salas even breathed a sigh of relief.

He jumped out suddenly and stood between Bruce and Jason.

Bruce hadn't noticed the existence of Salas before, but when he saw it suddenly, he subconsciously put on a defensive posture.

He looked at Salas with wary eyes.

In the conversation between him and Jason just now, he said too much what should be said and what should not be said.

As long as a person with a little bit of logical ability will be able to find his identity from his words.

but……

Bruce watched the atmosphere between Salas and Jason, and instantly realized that they knew each other, and it was likely that Jason trusted him.

That is to say, even if they didn't say those words, his identity is not necessarily a secret in front of this person.

"Give Robin back to him." Salas said to Jason calmly.

Jason took one look at him and threw Damian back into Bruce's arms without even asking.

Salas turned around, facing Bruce.

"Bruce Wayne, Batman." He bowed his head slightly to Bruce, "Play a game, Bruce Wayne, I'm going to form a team, I'm going to do many, many things, good or bad, whatever, as long as I Be happy. If you find out my identity, I will stop and voluntarily go to Arkham, and never leave Arkham. If you can't find out, I will keep playing with you."

"forever."

We come to a bet, not because who is right or wrong, but to prove that we are so different, to give each other a chance.

Whether to enter Arkham or become a free lunatic, it is all determined by God.

Salas raised his head slightly, and his eyes turned green, the same color as the water in Lazarus' Pool.
