Chapter 2031 Knight's Horror Night (XV)

"He's a smart boy, isn't he?"

That annoying laughing voice sounded again, and Batman saw the Joker appearing behind Peter's chair, holding his face in his hands and saying: "I like him very much, he made the right choice." , that is to abandon Batman, or even betray him."

"What a wise and great decision. Even after he observed you closely and joined the Bat Family, he still did not change his choice. You know that he is not stupid, but too smart."

"He realizes that you, yes, it's you, Batman. You can't give anyone a good ending. Only by truly eliminating you can Gotham usher in a better tomorrow."

"You also know that what I said was the truth, just like the advice of a close friend, but you never let go of that trace of mercy, which turned you from a real hero to an indecisive coward."

"Don't run away, don't run away, or just listen, Batman, and listen to how Judas came to know Jesus. Do they really need saving? Do they really deserve to be saved?"

In an instant, Batman came to the dark cabin again, and he heard Jason's call again.

"Batman, where are you? Where are you? Why didn't you come to save me? ...Batman, you've forgotten about me, right? Someone has replaced me, right?"

"I hurt so much... I hurt so much... No one will save me, no one will save us, Batman, you already know that, but you don't care, you only care about the long-term plans."

"You don't care at all how painful every ghost on the dark streets of Gotham was before they died. You have forgiven every criminal for them, but do you deserve it?"

"If we want to have tomorrow, we must survive tonight first. Maybe you will make Gotham a better place... But we can't wait any longer. I can't wait any longer."

Jason's face gradually overlapped with Peter's, and with extreme fear and then extreme anger, Batman found that his hand touched a sharp object.

That's a sharp batarang.

"No...no..."

His own voice grew fainter, and another voice spoke, "No... wake up... wake up! Human! Wake up! Don't attack..."

This unfamiliar voice startled Batman, causing him to regain his consciousness for a moment.

In an instant, the only thing he did was press the button on his belt, unlocking Nightwing and Peter's seats.

"Walk……"

Then, his consciousness fell silent in the boundless darkness, and all Batman could hear during his endless fall was the Joker's wild laughter.

Peter collapsed to the ground the moment he was let go. He gasped for air and found that he couldn't use any strength to stand up.

Nightwing, who was confused, quickly helped him up, but Peter threw him away like crazy and stumbled out of the Batcave.

It's raining harder in Gotham, and it's the darkest hour before dawn.

The cold rain made Peter wake up a little. After the stress gradually subsided, he stood under the tree and adjusted his limbs.

When he returned to the Batcave, Nightwing had left and Batman was nowhere to be found. Peter opened the door to the Batcave prison and released Poison Ivy.

Poison Ivy realized that Peter was not in the right state, so she did not ask further questions. She just looked at Peter's pale face and said, "I think you have learned your lesson now, boy. I told you, Batman is not that simple."

"If I said he could easily end all crime in this city, you might think it's unbelievable, but he can, and the only reason he doesn't is because he wants to save everyone."

"He doesn't want to admit that there are crazy bad people in this world. He thinks he can find a way to completely save everyone here. He thinks he will one day."

"It's hard to say who is crazier between Batman and super criminals. I can only tell you that if you are not crazy enough, then leave quickly. This is a showdown between madmen and madmen."

Peter knelt on the ground, feeling that his heart had turned into a bomb. The regular and irregular beatings were all illusions and could not be clearly distinguished at all.

What made him gradually lose his self-awareness was the spider sense that had been roaring crazily but had gradually become accustomed to it because it had been buzzing for too long.

Peter's hand on the ground gradually tightened, and Poison Ivy's words were like the last piece of the puzzle, finally giving him a little mysterious inspiration beyond the clues he had realized through rational thinking.

"Death is never the best punishment..."

Poison Ivy took a step forward, held Peter's face in her hands, and put her ear close to Peter's lips, wanting to know what he was talking about.

"Death is never the best reward for evil, but I have a way to turn it into a gift..."

In Poison Ivy's slightly frightened eyes, Peter's eyes began to shine with a strange, crazy light.

"Damn it." Poison Ivy turned Peter's head to the side as if she had encountered some harmful garbage. After she cursed, she said: "I said you should leave early, this city will make anyone crazy. , you’ve been tricked.”

But Peter changed his previous stiff posture, jumped up very flexibly and powerfully, turned around and walked out of the Batcave.

"Where are you going? Wait for me."

Poison Ivy was obviously unwilling to stay alone in the Batcave, and eventually left with Peter.

Peter quickly opened the door and sat in the driver's seat of the truck again. He stepped on the accelerator and the truck rushed out. Poison Ivy was shocked by the fast starting speed and exclaimed. Peter said without turning his head: "Sorry, but I'm in a hurry. When people know what they are going to do, they can't wait for a moment, right?"

Poison Ivy heard the excitement and even excitement in Peter's tone. She swallowed nervously.

Poison Ivy has seen the world. She knows very well where this excitement comes from and what it will eventually lead to.

But she was a little worried and asked, "Where are we going? What are we going to do?"

"Police station, go to Gotham Police Station."

A huge wave rose again at the edge of the puddle, and the water splashed the base of the telephone pole, making it look like the mast of a precarious boat.

Batman standing on the roof saw several clowns approaching him, but he just stood there silently and said.

"You think you can manipulate the fear in my heart, Joker, but this is just exposing what you really fear."

"There are many eggs in the bat's nest. He feeds them diligently and tries to protect them. But when they hatch, one leaves, two disappear, and three betray." The Joker sang a ballad with a familiar tone. He said, "That's all thanks to me, and only thanks to me."

"I imprisoned one of your little birds, plucked all his feathers, and carved my name on his face. You should think about how much pain he suffered. It's all because of me! It's all because of me!"

Batman's fists clenched slowly.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in his vision, and a figure in metal armor appeared on the edge of the roof.

"Listen to me, old man, you made the stupidest decision in the world." Arkham Knight's deep voice sounded: "A cuckoo bird sneaked into your bat nest, and you are not his father."

"Peter Parker, I don't know where you found him, but he planned all this, you'd better wake up."

Arkham Knight's voice brought Batman back to his senses. He stared at Arkham Knight's mask and suddenly felt that the two of them were connected in mind.

"Take off your mask." Batman said: "Face me with your true face, don't you dare?"

"You don't dare, I just come to point out that you made another stupid decision, as stupid as the last one."

After saying that, Arkham Knight turned and jumped down the building, but to his surprise, Batman didn't chase him. He just stood on the street and watched Batman's figure disappear in the distance.

He thought Batman couldn't have noticed Peter Parker's abnormality later than him. He should have gone to deal with that kid, and he had to be there. He had to see Batman's expression when he accepted the bad consequences of his stupid decision.

So the two of them ran towards the Gotham Police Department one after the other.

Inside the Gotham Police Department, Poison Ivy looked at Peter rummaging through the archives in a daze. She asked, "What are you looking for?"

"Do you know how the Joker died?"

Poison Ivy shook her head, then sighed and said, "That's another amazing farce."

"Tell me about it."

"It's a long story... Well, let me make it short. It's also the Joker's own fault. He made a poison called... Titan Toxin. Maybe he wanted to defeat Batman with it, but obviously he failed. Somehow, he was infected with this poison."

"When Batman threw him into Arkham Asylum, he was already poisoned. I am immune to all toxins, so I don't know how powerful this poison is. I just watched through the observation window. "I have seen the poisoned Joker once, and he was already very weak at that time."

"Anyway, the Joker died later. I heard from Harley Quinn that he died of poisoning. But when I was caught by Scarecrow, he told me that Batman was actually poisoned, and the Joker injected his own poisoned blood into Batman's body."

"It is true." Peter sighed and said, "I found Batman out of control several times in the surveillance footage before, and it doesn't look like the symptoms of the attack of fear gas."

"Found it." Peter picked up the file from the filing cabinet, brushed off the dust on it and said, "This should be the detailed record of that incident."

After getting the file, Peter did not stay for too long, and left immediately with Poison Ivy, and Batman was one step late.

On the way to the next destination, Poison Ivy drove, and Peter sat in the co-pilot and looked at the file carefully.

The course of events was similar to what Poison Ivy said, but in the police records, the Joker's body was finally placed by Batman in front of the Gotham Grand Theater where they fought.

A big fire burned the Joker's body, and this evil criminal finally turned into ashes.

The rain was getting heavier, and the wind-blown raindrops hit the truck bed. It was like a crazy death metal song reaching its climax.

"What are you going to do next?"

"Resurrect the Joker."

Dong-dong-dong
