Chapter 26 26. Fear: Awakening

hum

In the night of Gotham City, an old pickup truck made a nearly perfect drift at the intersection of the narrow island and the urban area at a speed that was completely inconsistent with its bulky body. I felt a touch of passion brought by speed.

Of course, if it wasn't for the cool guy in black who was strapped to the passenger seat by him with his seat belt, Saibo wouldn't mind racing at extreme speed in this already completely quiet city, but now, he still wants to use the fastest The speed of the son of Gotham sent out of danger.

While shaking the steering wheel, Seber looked at Bruce Wayne's state from the corner of his eyes. It was terrible. His breathing was so short that it was frightening. With the shaking of the vehicle, his head was also fluctuating from side to side. Judging from the frequency of eyelid vibrations, he obviously entered a special state.

He is fighting with his inner fear!

Sable had also experienced that feeling earlier today, so he was not surprised by Bruce's current performance at all. Judging from his state, the fear gas he inhaled this time was more than Sable's previous measurement. More, otherwise, this son of Gotham, who is extremely healthy, would not be in such a weak state. You must know that a few days ago, he beat Saibo head-on.

This is not something ordinary people can do!

During the period when he was afraid of the poisonous gas, he already knew how the poisonous gas works. It will amplify the victim's sensory system, stimulate the respiratory system, and finally have a certain impact on the nervous system. Contains toxins, but taken separately, the only two things that are really fatal are poisoning and respiratory convulsions.

As for the poisoning, Saibo can use his special recovery ability to remove it, but the energy consumption of eliminating the toxin in the body is not even more than the energy consumption of healing a knife wound, that is to say, this toxin should be slow. It took effect, not violently, and the moment the pickup pulled into the dock area, Seber noticed Bruce's chest began to rise and fall rapidly, and he stepped on the brakes hastily.

Damn it!

Seb pushed open the car door, pulled Bruce out of the car, laid him flat on the ground, and kicked the fire hydrant on the side of the street. After kicking four times, icy water seeped out of it. Coming out, Sable dragged Bruce, who had a spasm in his throat, under the stream, let the cold water splash next to his head, covered his mouth with his left hand, forced him to breathe through his nose, and then applied cold water to his neck. Pat his back continuously and rhythmically.

(If someone around you has a laryngospasm in real life, call the emergency call immediately. I found this paragraph on Baidu!)

In the past, Sable had learned first aid methods, and this was the best he could think of. After a few minutes, Bruce Wayne's chest returned to his normal breathing rhythm, probably because the cold water stimulated him. With amplified senses, he also opened his eyes from that chaotic state, but there was no focus in those eyes, obviously, he hadn't gotten rid of the hallucinations yet.

Seber felt it was tricky, Bruce had inhaled too much poisonous gas, if this continues, his life would definitely be in danger!

He rummaged through Batman's clothes with his left hand, and finally found a strange-shaped mobile phone. After opening it, he found a phone number named Afu in the address book. He heard from his father that Bruce Wayne's old The butler is Alfred, an old man who has served the Wayne family for decades, and is absolutely trustworthy.

It's a good thing you didn't set a password, Bruce, this good habit may save your life.

Sable pressed the dial button, and stretched out his hands to keep pressing on Batman's chest to help him keep his breathing rhythm.

Master, when will you be back? I have already ordered the servant to heat up the dinner...

Stop! Listen to me!

Alfred started talking ramblingly after the call was connected, Seber interrupted him loudly, Alfred immediately realized that the person opposite was not his young master, he asked in a very calm tone,

Who are you? Are you safe, Master?

Listen, Fuck, I'm Sable Hawk, the clerk at Papa Christian's bar, and Mr. Bruce has had a little bit of a bad time at his pastime of the evening, and now he's poisoned, and I'm doing my best to Do your best to keep him breathing, he's in a bad state, get to the Old Gun as fast as you can! You know where it is, right?

After Saibo finished speaking, he heard Ah Fu on the other side also became short of breath, with a hint of plea in his sincerity,

Thank you, Mr. Saibo, please keep the young master safe, I will rush there as quickly as possible!

I can only do my best, he's in a bad situation!

After Saibo finished speaking, he hung up the phone. He squatted in front of Bruce Wayne, stretched out his left hand and shook it in front of his eyes, and then Bruce's suddenly extended hand grabbed his wrist with great force, but this The reaction made Saber breathe a sigh of relief.

What he was most afraid of was that the guy in front of him would lose consciousness, and that would be troublesome.

Hey, listen buddy, I'm taking you to safety now, if you can still hear me please cooperate!

Saber patted Batman's face, trying to make him more conscious, but Bruce seemed to be possessed, whispering a noun repeatedly,

Bat...no! Don't come here! Bat...

bat?

Saber froze for a moment, then subconsciously looked at his attire, and had some vague guesses about Batman's identity in his heart.

Generally speaking, if you want to choose something to represent yourself, people have two choices, either something that you like very much, or something that impresses you the most. The former represents love, and the latter, in many cases Down, often represents fear.

Love and fear are always the two emotions that most arouse people's inner fluctuations, and they are also the only two emotions that can make people burst into stronger power, or are willing to choose death. They represent the two extremes of human nature. According to Bo, fear is actually more effective, because the destructive power of love will never be more destructive than fear.

You can make a person fear you with your fists or words, but you can't make a person fall in love with you with your fists and words.

In the case of Bruce Wayne, it is absolutely impossible for him to choose the bat because of love.

Are you afraid of bats, Bruce

Cyber ​​thought for a moment, then whispered in Batman's ear in a gentle voice, Are you afraid of the moment they pounce from the darkness?

In the state of mental chaos, the voices Bruce Wayne heard were all distorted. To him, Seber's voice was the same as the magic voice from hell. Driven by this voice , There was a scene of fear appearing in front of his eyes again.

It was when he was playing with his childhood Rachel, and accidentally fell into an abandoned well inside the Wayne Manor, his leg was injured, and for a seven or eight-year-old child, he could not move his body, He could only wait for help at the bottom of the dark well, but in front of his eyes, there was a stone cave with uneven layers, and there was a buzzing sound coming from it.

He was so frightened that he picked up a stone and tried to protect himself, but in his growing fear, he finally threw the stone at the mouth of the cave like the entrance to hell, and the sound annoyed the grotto The creatures hidden in the cave frantically jumped out of the darkness, from the stone hole like the mouth of the beast, and rushed towards him.

bat! Thousands of bats!

The darkness is like a storm!

Ah! Stay away from me! Stay away from me!

Bruce's body began to struggle, and Sable had to break free from his wrists, put his arms on his body, and said loudly in his ear,

Wake up! Bruce Wayne! You're Batman, bastard! Don't let this mere fear knock you down!

The sudden sound made Bruce break away from that childhood memory of terror, his eyes blinked hard,

Bats...help me scatter...them! Help me...

Think about happy things! Think about Ah Fu, think about your parents!

Seb recalled how he broke away from that fear, and since he had it, fought it with other emotions, grabbed Bruce by the shoulders, lifted him off the ground, and slammed him against the car door. , this impact made Batman's consciousness clear again for a moment, he heard a voice shouting in his ear,

Think about something else! Throw away those dark memories and think about... well, think about Rachel, you like her, don't you? Think about the time you spent with her, think about your housekeeper Fu , think about the things that make you happy, that make you angry, that move you! Don't think about fear!

Saber grabbed his shoulders and kept shaking,

Don't be overwhelmed by fear! Being overwhelmed by it means you give in to it, and it means you're a coward!

Don't you fucking want to fight evil? How can you be a coward!

You've got to conquer your fear, master your fear, so you can bring fear to others! Suppress it with something else! Don't let it knock you down! I'll take you to safety right now! But you have to Learn to protect yourself! Fight back! Get it? Fight it!

Fight your fears with other emotions! Stay sane, asshole! I don't want me to save a crying idiot!

These words may not cause any fluctuations in Bruce Wayne at other times. After all, his experience in the past 7 years has made it difficult for him to have emotional fluctuations, but it is different now, being poisoned by fear, he is in a very In a fragile state, he obeyed Saibo's words almost subconsciously.

And someone once told him about fear. Soon, the experience of the past 7 years appeared in his mind. Although it was not good, it finally made him wake up from the deepest fear. some.

Seeing that Bruce's body was still trembling, but at least he had regained a bit of sanity, Seber immediately pushed him into the car, started it up quickly, and sped towards the Old Gun Bar.

Fear gas... this thing is too evil.

Seber glanced at Bruce Wayne, who was struggling against the fear that came from his heart, and felt a little scared in his heart, if he inhaled the dose of Batman today, and did not trigger the heat flow in his body at the last moment Otherwise, I am afraid that he would have been killed by Thompson.

For those with weak wills, this thing can destroy their will in an instant, and think of what Kevin said, the Shadow Warriors Alliance intends to use this poisonous gas to destroy Gotham, and think of the whole city falling into this poisonous gas In the enveloping environment, under the control of fear, what will those ordinary people whose minds have been defeated... Sable can't even imagine.

They don't even need to send out too much force, just killing each other in this city will destroy everything.

Saibo remembered what he had experienced in some places in Africa. In such a large city, once chaos appeared, it was not so easy to suppress, and once bloodshed started, it would quickly evolve into a real war. In that case, even if Cyber ​​could fight again, he would have nothing to do in the face of a hopeless city.

So while Saibo was racing all the way, he really began to think about a problem.

Is it really time for me to leave Gotham...

Ten minutes later, the pickup truck stopped at the door of the Old Gun Bar. The lights in the bar hadn't been turned off. When Dad came out, he saw Seber walking out of the car carrying a strange-looking guy.

This is...

Shh, Dad, don't ask too many questions! Prepare a clean house, someone will pick him up soon!

The two hurriedly carried Bruce Wayne in the bat suit into the room on the second floor. When they put Batman on the bed, Bruce, who had taken off the bat mask, grabbed it with difficulty. After touching Saibo's arm, his body was still trembling, and it was obvious that he was in pain, but in those eyes, there was no fear and anxiety before, and there was still some confusion, but he had recovered his sanity.

Seeing this scene, Saber breathed a sigh of relief,

Phew... congratulations, you have overcome fear, you are not knocked down by it, you are not a coward.

Thank...thank you!
