How to start Meursault

Bruce and Tim were working on a case in the Batcave—there's always a case—and Jason dragged someone in.

This is a very special case.To bring someone back to the Batcave without even sending a message in advance, either Jason lost his head and forgot, or he was controlled by someone.

Either way is not a good thing.

"Bruce, you have to meet this guy." Jason's first words were this.

Instead of using a code name in front of unknown people, he directly used his real name—the possibility of being controlled by others increased.

Just when Bruce was extremely vigilant, the teenager whose wrist was being pulled by Jason raised his head, and even looked at him and Tim with a little confusion.

"Did you not warn them in advance?" The boy turned to look at Jason, "It would make me look really suspicious, you know, controlling you or something."

"In a sense, isn't it?" Jason replied impatiently, "You have at least ten chances to escape along the way, let alone how reluctant you are to come here."

The boy opened his mouth a little bit and closed it again.

"Hood, report the situation." Tim stared at Jason and said.Compared to being controlled, kidnapping others forcibly and taking them to the Batcave is no better at all.

And Bruce was staring at the teenager being dragged by Jason, thinking about the whole thing carefully.

"This kid is the guy who used Damian's key to hack into the Batcomputer before. He obviously came from this family in some parallel universe. He made a lot of trouble in Gotham-until I caught him."

So the other party already knew their identities.Tim thought.

Wait, what happened to Gotham lately——

"In case you don't know by now, he helped the small and medium-sized gangs in basically the entire Gotham 'finance' and avoided conflicts between them, so that the vicious crime rate on the streets gradually decreased." Jason patted his hands naturally Teenager's head.

Bruce didn't look surprised, just frowned very slightly.

The boy looked back at him and said hesitantly, "...you know?"

Bruce does know.And I asked Leslie to verify the real situation on the street.

Finding the person behind it is not a priority because the other party has followed his rules and is less harmful.as well as--

"You referenced my Gotham remodeling plan." Bruce said in a voice that wasn't Batman.

He spent more than ten years thinking about how to make Gotham better, and he made many plans in the process, but it was always impossible to implement due to various reasons.But he still thinks about it whenever he has free time, so when he notices that someone is remodeling the most troublesome area of ​​Gotham from the bottom up through strange means, he will of course realize that the other party's plan is different from his own. Some of the past plans have a lot in common.

Maybe there are not many people who have read those materials, except for some senior officials he trusts in WE, there are only family members.And Bruce thinks that the only person who might have enough courage and skill to do it should be Tim, but Tim probably doesn't have time to do it.

It's not that Bruce supports this plan of replacing vicious crimes with more peaceful criminal methods, it's just that the other party hides deeply, and he has higher priority cases to solve, and he occasionally wants to see how other methods can work. Doesn't work—Bruce isn't actually the one who never backs down and just sticks to his ideas, as some people think.

As a result, the opponent who hid deeply was so easily dragged all the way into the Batcave by Jason.

"The detailed operation is not difficult for me, but it is better to refer to your plan in the overall situation." The young man showed a contemplative expression, "Your understanding and design of Gotham as a whole must be better than mine. I really did not expect You'll notice it."

Jason on the side was the most surprised one.

"Old man, you think he's manageable?" He was almost incoherent. "This guy doesn't even care about Gotham."

This wasn't something Jason wanted to discuss when he brought He Jian back to the Batcave, but he really didn't expect Bruce's reaction.

This sentence raised the smell of gunpowder around a little bit.

The slightly flinching reaction of the teenager who was stared at by a classic bat gave Bruce a little sense that the other party was raised by another self.

"I suggest asking from the beginning." Tim scratched his head beside him, "Do you want to inform Damian?"

Obviously, it will take some time for Damian to come back, so the interrogation must be started directly first.

And the interviewees were surprisingly cooperative.

The boy not only reported his own name, all the pseudonyms he had used in this world, the situation in the original world, but also all the information and detailed accounts he collected here.

"I kind of wish you existed in this world now." Tim whispered, looking at the jaw-dropping accounts, "WE's job is probably, no, definitely more than twice as easy."

He Jian, the boy, shrugged.

"Before Tan took over, I was your secretary for a while. At that time, I was more helping you with homework rather than approving WE documents."

Sounds like something Alfred wouldn't approve of.

"Why are you here?" Bruce asked.

The 'experimental' conjecture given by Jason made sense, but Bruce felt that there was something else behind it, especially when He Jian held such a strange world line theory.

"I wonder if it's possible to play tricks on the nobodies. At least up until now, that aspect seemed to be a loophole."

He Jian almost gritted his teeth when he said the word 'loophole'.

"You chose to do it alone because you thought no one else would agree with you?"

He Jian didn't answer immediately.Bruce has already discovered that He Jian is not used to lying to him, and silence or concealment with language skills is probably the limit of what he can do.

"Not exactly." He Jian seemed to have finally finished thinking, "It's one thing not to agree. Let you know that the nature of this matter will change. Of course, a loophole that can be exploited cannot be brought to light. "

——So he thinks it has been put on the bright side now?

At this time, Jason interjected: "Or it will be repaired in an appropriate way. Yes, I think your approach is very reckless and reckless, so I don't support it. But my thoughts are just my thoughts. You'd better ask Bruce what he thinks."

He Jian raised his head and looked at Jason in surprise, as if he suddenly understood the other party's intention by now.

Then he stared at Bruce and asked cautiously, "Do you think my actions are completely unacceptable?"

He Jian's set of arguments is actually very convincing.

And it's very convenient.

It basically explains everything that was too painful and sad in Jason's life.

Even some hurdles that he may still be unable to overcome are included in this theory.After all, he can't fight against the preferences of the world itself, can he?

But Jason wasn't ready to accept it.

And he knew Bruce wouldn't accept it either.

Just because it's so convenient.

Gotham sucks.Life sucks.And it doesn't necessarily get better.

Jason never felt that probability could be used to explain his life, let alone guide it.

——Even if you occasionally feel that everything is really a joke, a rubbish story written by others, you can’t face life with this attitude.

One, at least there is a future.There is always hope for things that haven't happened.Second, all the shit that happened in the past, he wasn't about to admit that it wasn't that bad.So what if it's for world stability?Still just as bad.

He has known from a long time ago that this world is absurd and unreasonable.It's not new knowledge.

But He Jian, his younger brother in another world, is obviously caught in the world line theory to explain everything and cannot extricate himself.

This is a dangerous trend. Although my plan is going well, I am ready to give up because I think Jason's opinion shows that the world does not allow this. On other occasions, it can lead to extremely bad conclusions.

Like the death of Alfred.Jason was sure that He Jian really wanted to prevent this from happening, but he might not quite believe that he could do it, when he sensed something messed up and felt that the world was suggesting that he couldn't do it.

So at least this time, he had to make He Jian feel that the performance of the world line might not be so direct.

Well, even if Jason says he doesn't agree with the plan, Bruce can agree with it, can't he?

Although I don't want to admit it, Bruce's opinion in this regard should carry more weight than his opinion, right?

And Jason could feel it, and he didn't need to force Bruce to change his words. Bruce didn't completely deny He Jian's plan in the first place—Bruce was even a little touched because He Jian's plan was based on him.

Anyway, Bruce is definitely not as opposed to He Jian as he imagined.

Being watched closely by Jason and He Jian with a sense of presence at the same time, Bruce was silent for a while, and said: "Assume that you are going to end your plan immediately. I would say that you have created some valuable references. The data gave me some new ideas."

He did not deny He Jian's plan, and even expressed his appreciation in a sense.
