[Comprehensive British and American] Capernaum

The hospital was quiet at night, Kate fell into a deep sleep, and John was finally able to go out to get some fresh air, walked a few laps in the garden where no one was around, and took the information secretly given to him by his friends in the police station under the dim yellow light. come out and see.

The result of the fingerprint test was as he thought, Esther did it, it seems that when she killed Ronika, she was so angry that she didn't even wear gloves.You have to know the scene where Sister Abigail was killed, but not a single fingerprint was left.But John can't rely on this to call the police, after all, the "victim" is still alive and well.

John smiled wryly, and his eyes gradually became firm. No matter what, he couldn't let a murderer get closer to his family.

"Father, are you cold here?" The soft voice sounded like the whisper of a devil.

John turned his head slowly with a cold face. Under the cold moonlight, his side face looked extremely stern.He stuffed the report into his coat pocket... There is no evidence, and it's not time for a showdown, but he has confirmed that Abigail's death, Kate's sudden madness, and Danny's fall in the fire are all related to the nine in front of him. year-old girl.

"Esther." John exhaled lightly, trying to calm himself down as much as possible instead of being burned by anger.

The girl stretched out her hand, and it was only at this time that John could see her outfit clearly. He didn't know when she changed into Kate's backless skirt, and also painted herself a makeup that was obviously a mature woman, which made the child The ordinary face became nondescript.

"I've been thinking, you're so lonely." Esther said pointedly, "Kate, she can't understand you, you're so tired, aren't you?"

John watched her perform coldly, unmoved.

Esther also felt the sharp and indifferent eyes, which was a great insult to her, and her whole body was stiff, as if someone had slapped her in the face.The girl's face was even paler, a kind of rage appeared on her overly mature face, and tears flowed from her eye sockets, washing away the black eye makeup, like two black tear stains, and her expression became terrifying, and then Under the bleak moonlight, it looked like a female ghost who had just crawled out of the ground.

It's true that Ronika called it a ghost.

"Why?" she complained, "why does each of you have to do this to me!"

This is by no means a child.The voice in the bottom of my heart calmly expressed my opinion, and reminded John, be careful... After all, madmen who are angry...

Because of the company of the voice in his heart, John was not afraid of the devil in front of him. On the contrary, he found Esther's berserk state very familiar, as if he would encounter such a lunatic every few days.While he was wondering, Este took out a gun from behind, and pulled the trigger at him without any hesitation.

Wait, when did she bring the family gun?

This was John's feeling after being shot in the chest, but he didn't have time to say too much, and even the voice didn't have time to remind him that Esther shot ruthlessly, the second shot, and the third shot.The gunfire must have alerted the duty personnel in the nearby hospital building, but the little girl had left John, who was lying in a pool of blood, turned and ran into the bushes.

When Ronika felt something was wrong in her heart and rushed away, what she saw was John's body convulsing in a pool of blood, and his eyes began to lose consciousness.No no no, Ronika ran to the man, so eager for the wonderful power of the body to be able to work on others.

"Ronika." It was John's eyes, surprised and terrified, but then something broke out from the bottom of his heart, another personality... no, it should be said that another soul has been in a semi-sleeping state , in the face of the danger of death, began to fully wake up.

From the moment they were pulled into this world by the pocket watch, they lost their memory. Bruce also slept in John's subconscious mind, but because of his strong willpower, he influenced John's every word and deed intentionally or unintentionally. It is a combination of two personalities, but it is still unable to grasp all the initiative.

Until the moment of death, such a familiar feeling awakens Batman.Death, pain, self-blame...these are the things Batman is most familiar with.

"Ronika." When he opened his eyes again, it was Bruce speaking.

The girl was a little dazed, not knowing how to face her adoptive father's essence, she instinctively felt that the person who called her name before was not exactly the same person who called her name now.When facing this person in front of her, she felt a little nervous.

People may lose their memory, but the essence will not change.

Just like Bruce not only lost his memory, but was stuffed into John's body, but he still subtly guided John to fight against Esther.Then, it can be proved by the same reason that everything Ronika did in amnesia is also her nature.As Sister Abigail assured: "She's a good kid."

A man who would rather go to the forest and freeze to death than scare his adoptive family, a man who suffers death and resurrection again and again, but still cares about others.Could it be that Ronika pretended all these things?Of course not, Bruce knew very well, absolutely not.

And, in the conversation between John and Ronika, is John talking or Bruce talking?

All of a sudden, their relationship becomes extremely complicated, which has never been Batman's area of ​​expertise.Bruce sighed secretly, now is not the time to think about this question, he only knows one thing, no matter what force pulls them into the pocket watch, its purpose is to kill him.

Just imagine, if Bruce and Ronika never came to this world, how would the world be done?It must be that Esther entered Coleman's house smoothly and wantonly hurt Kate and the two children. In the end, with Esther's brutality, it is a question of how many of the family can survive.

And John, who was especially "favoured" by Esther, will die even more ugly. Batman knows the behavior of lunatics too well.

Then, to seal Batman's memory, take away the initiative of the body, and force him to sleep in the depths of John's soul, this behavior can only be explained as "in order to kill him", and obviously, the other party's goal is about to be achieved up.

As for Ronika's infinite resurrection from the dead, whether it is Ronika's own power or the power of the pocket watch is uncertain.

"Ronika." Bruce called again. The girl knelt beside him, held his outstretched hand, and looked at him anxiously. He squeezed the little girl's fingers reassuringly, and looked into her eyes seriously Said: "I need you to remember, only you know the information of that pocket watch."

"I don't know what you're talking about." The little girl was confused and uneasy.

"How much of the past do you remember? Before you met Esther, before you went to the orphanage?" Bruce asked again.

Of course she remembers, she remembers that she has been going to and from several orphanages, but wait... In the past so much time, didn't she know a friend, didn't she have a person who left a deep impression on her?These memories are not so much memories as they are forced into the setting. What happened to her has all become a blurred background.

Who am I.

"So, do you still remember, who am I?" Bruce asked again, his appearance was still John's appearance, but through those brown eyes, he could see the dark blue light shining, it was an unyielding His soul is as bright as obsidian, full of wisdom that sees through everything, sharp but deep.

The god's third eye was opened, and Ronika could see the appearance of the furball bat that suddenly changed after it was unsealed. It was pitch black, with huge wings, and a heavy soul born from the mud. Under his own wings, with the slight flapping of the wings, a whirlpool of air waves was set off——

Such a soul can only belong to one person: the dark knight of Gotham, the eternal guardian, Batman.

Also her biological father, Bruce Wayne.

When the other party's identity became clear, it was as if a bolt of lightning split the chaotic world, allowing Ronika to wake up instantly from the so-called "amnesia".Yes, she was never from this world, and she was not a weak and helpless 14-year-old girl. She was a Sith, a master of swordsmanship in the universe, a former Avengers hero, and a weeping angel today.

And the memories before being pulled into this world also follow.The magician's pocket watch was able to restrain and even rebound Goliath's eye.After the magician gave her the pocket watch, she was too busy with Gotham and Red Hood to study it.

When she confronted Batman and became emotional, the pocket watch aimed at the loopholes in her psychology and tried to swallow her up.Ronika touched her slightly hot eyes. Yes, at that time, it was the power of the eyes that swallowed the gems on the pocket watch to protect her life.

"This pocket watch was given to me by the magician Merry, who killed Maroni some time ago. There is a jewel in the pocket watch. When I met the magician for the first time, he relied on the jewel. Power, the power to restrain my eyes." Ronika said to Bruce, and couldn't help worrying: "Is your gunshot wound really okay?"

John looks like he's dying!

"As long as we can go back in time." Bruce said calmly. The gunshot woke up the medical staff next to them. They were rushing here. If they still couldn't go back before going to the operating table, then it is very likely that his consciousness will be lost during the operation. Once again, he was suppressed by the power of the pocket watch and returned to the depths of John's soul.

"But I don't know much about this gem. After the magician gave it to me, I didn't study it." Ronika frowned.

"You said it restrains the power of your eyes... Why can't you die in this world, I saw the blood flowing out of your eyes re-enter your eyes, are the eyes protecting you?" Batman's thinking mode is fully open, the power of a magician The gap with Goliath comes from the same source. Judging from Meredith Adams' resume, it is impossible for him to master such a powerful force, and he can only rely on external forces.

So, the gemstone on the pocket watch is related to Goliath, and Ronika says the gemstone restrains the power of her eyes.The gem pulls them into this world, trying to kill them, while the eyes of Ronika resurrect her again and again, trying to keep her alive.

Eyes... Goliath's eyes, he seemed to know where the thing he was looking for was.

Batman's eyes dimmed, and he said to Ronika: "The jewel can't kill you, it means that the power of your eyes is above it, use your eyes, and we can go back."

Ronika shook her head: "I don't know how." Goliath's eye can only predict what will happen 3 minutes later, oh, it may have an additional function now, it can see the essence of human soul, and it can also help her Resurrected from death in another world, but cannot travel through time and space!

"The eyes can do it, as long as you no longer restrain it." Because this is the eye of Goliath in the time-space gap.

The medical staff were approaching here, and Bruce's face became paler. He held the little girl's hand gradually, and said seriously: "Once I pass out, it is very likely that I will never regain consciousness, and if John fails to If I get off the operating table, I will die with him. As for you, although your eyes will always protect your life, you will be trapped in this world forever, neither born nor destroyed. As time goes by, gradually Be influenced by pocket watches and forget about everything."

Someone's exclamation was close at hand, and it was almost too late.

"This is our last chance, leave this world, you can do it." Bruce's breathing became more and more difficult, but his eyes were so firm that he never shifted for a moment. He stared at Ronika's blue eyes and nodded ,"I believe you can."

The medical staff's hand touched John's wound, and someone pulled Ronika back. The little girl didn't resist, but just kept staring at the other person's eyes. Bruce never bowed to death, and tried to stay awake. Covering his mouth and nose, someone injected drugs into his veins, and finally the eyelids could not hold back and slowly closed.

Once I'm comatose...never come back to life...John dies...and I die too.

And I'll never go home, never see Jason again, never see Dick and Alfred.Eye of Goliath, please help me, I want to go back, I want to go back, I want to go back, I want to go back, I want to go back! ! !

A huge tingling sensation exploded in the eye sockets, and something shattered in front of my eyes, as if a mirror had been smashed with a fist. The medical staff in front of me, the garden under the gloomy moonlight, and the blood on the ground were lying on a stretcher On Dying John... everything becomes phony, like some kind of shitty street-street comic book painted over with cheap paint.

They're back, right where they disappeared, Red Hood's safehouse, except no one's there yet.

Batman was still wearing the same clothes, his left and right shoulders were pierced by the lightsaber, and he was kneeling on one knee, panting for calm breathing.And Ronika was also wearing the poor-quality vampire cloak, and the mask of the crying angel was picked up. She looked at Batman with a complicated expression.

So, continue to fight?

The communicator at his waist vibrated non-stop, as if struck by lightning. Batman looked down a few times, and then his face changed slightly.He stood up clutching his wound, and said to Ronika who was still holding a lightsaber: "I have something to tell you, it has something to do with the power of your eyes. But not now, wait for me, go back to Sharon , or go to Wayne Mansion and wait."

Well, as long as she doesn't hide.

"What happened?" Ronika asked directly.

Batman hesitated for a moment, but chose to tell her: "We disappeared for three days. On the first day, Jason was taken away by the Justice League. On the second day, the Joker escaped from prison. Now is the third night. Robin just received a letter from Director Gordon. message, the clown appeared in the downtown square, and Robin rushed over to stop him."

After Jason's incident, he never left Robin and the Joker alone for more than 10 minutes.This time, Tim actually confronted the clown directly. Even with the help of heroes such as Barbara and Zatanna, Batman still felt crazy inside. Make it appear again!

"I'll go with you." Ronika said calmly, put away the lightsaber, and pointed to the wound on his shoulder, "I won't do anything unless you tell me to, so that if you don't catch the clown, you'll kill him." Take it in yourself. Anyway, I hurt you."

And she didn't want the clown to hurt Tim or Bruce, especially this lunatic who had already killed Jason once, and she hadn't settled with the clown yet!
