Chapter 100 Smiling Gale, Crying Ace
In the night sky of Gotham, as Ke Wen and Dick condensed the thoughts of the entire Gotham City, after the transformed knight kick hit Elliott, a most brilliant explosion illuminated the night sky of Gotham. Following this splendid explosion, the light that was originally swallowed by Elliott with the help of the ultimate eternal sun also returned to Gotham City. Looking at the most beautiful fireworks in the sky, the surviving citizens of Gotham also Embracing and crying there, because the darkest night has passed.
Batman who rushed to the scene also watched the battle that was over, as well as the Gotham citizens hugging and crying behind him, feeling so relaxed for the first time. He has fought for it all his life, devoted all his career, and finally saw the end at this moment. He originally thought that he would keep fighting like this, for Gotham, until one day he collapsed.
But the appearance of Ke Wen, everything he led in this Gotham night, let himself, the dark knight of Gotham, retreat directly from the protagonist to the background, acting as a guide. And it was these Gotham citizens who were supposed to be under their own surveillance and regarded as potential criminals who really played a role, and they took back Gotham City themselves, not him, Batman. At this moment, Batman really had the urge to take off his mask right here and announce his true face to the world.
But he also knew that it was not the right time, so when the citizens of Gotham hugged each other and cried, celebrating their new life, Batman also disappeared silently into the crowd, and by the time people reacted, Batman was no longer seen .
And below this gorgeous explosion is the chemical plant where Elliott and the clown seized the power of Ke Wen W in the first place. Thomas Elliott and the clown, who were defeated in the explosion, just lay on the ground. As the leader of the ultimate eternal sun form, Elliott suffered the most serious backlash, and every cell in his body was collapsing , The skin also showed symptoms of collapse. If there is no accident, then Thomas Elliott will not escape death.
In contrast to the clown, he was just lying there, his undulating chest showed that he was still alive, just the expression of keeping a smiling face, his eyes looking at the sky, as if he was waiting for someone to come. And the heterogeneous W formed by Ke Wen and Dick just stood there, the golden color on his body had faded, and together with the three pairs of wings behind them, they just stood there, waiting for the person who would bring everything to an end.
Soon, Batman, who disappeared from the crowd, appeared in the sight of Ke Wen, Dick, Elliott and the Joker. And on the ground, Elliott, who was waiting to die, stood up like a flash of light at the moment he saw Batman appear, looked at Batman, and said softly.
"Here you come, Bruce, my best friend."
"Yes, here I come, Tom, and it's all over."
Looking at the situation on Elliott at this time, Batman also understands that this friend who grew up with him is already dying, and the collapse starting from the cellular level cannot be rescued by black technology, unless It is to use mysticism to move the soul belonging to Elliott to the cloned body that has been prepared. However, Elliott, who was the loser, was probably also an abandoned son of De Sadd, so he had no reason to come and take the risk of saving people.
"Is everything over? Hehe, yeah, I didn't expect to do so much. In the end, I still couldn't be you. I always thought you were the fear above Gotham. Who would have thought that they would It's ironic to see you as hope."
Over time, the cells in Elliott's body collapsed at an accelerated rate, and even standing there, Batman could notice that Elliott's eyes were out of focus,
He is blind. It's just that Batman frowned at what Elliott said at this time, because he understood the meaning of Elliott's words.
"So, the accident in which your parents died was not an accident. You killed them, right. Just to have a childhood like me that lost my parents."
"Yes, I killed my parents because I envy you, I envy you can be free from a young age, you can use revenge as an excuse to do whatever you want, no one will blame you, they even follow You stand together. Do you still remember that when we went to school together, you who lost your parents stood there and were the focus of the crowd, and I was just a member of the crowd. At that time, I was thinking, since You can have these, why can't I? So, hahahaha."
After speaking, Elliot laughed himself, and the laughter was full of complacency. It wasn't until a cough interrupted his laughter, but Elliott was still saying: "In the second year after your parents died, I caused a traffic accident, my parents died, I have I had the same experience as you, but why didn’t those people who should have cared about me as much as they cared about you didn’t show up. There’s no way, in order not to be exposed, I can only put another face on myself, a sunshine, A good face, a face that should hate the world and love the world when both parents are dead, that's what you know about Thomas Elliott."
Standing there, Thomas Elliott spoke words that terrified Ke Wen. Although he knew the origin of the silence, Thomas Elliott himself said this fact and revealed it Emotions made Ke Wen feel that this guy was crazy. Only regarding Elliott's self-report, Batman was silent for a while before speaking.
"It never occurred to me that my experience would make you envious, Tom, but what you don't know is that when you envy my tragedy, I also envy you."
The sudden words made Elliott stunned, he didn't expect that Batman, who had suffered a lot and had a deep hatred, would say something that envied him.
"Envy me?"
"Yes, Tom, I envy you. When I knew that you had the same experience as me, I noticed you. I was thinking, maybe, the two of us will have a common topic, maybe, in the future, We will all fight together for Gotham. But what I see is your disguise, which is enough to deceive me. You did not resent your powerlessness because of the death of your parents. You still love this world and your surroundings Everyone, even, became a doctor, a doctor like my father..."
Batman's words made Elliott stunned. He never thought that his so-called disguise would become the reason why Batman envied him.
"Really, Tom, what I saw at that time was a person I wanted to be but could never be. I only hated my incompetence at the time, but you, you can embrace the past, grow, and be like the sun Dazzling, even when you took the initiative to chat with me, I thought it was a kind of luck, until I became Batman, I thought the same, because in this city, there are people like you, I should Guarding her, but never thought that it was just a disguise for you to be close to me, let alone that we have lied to each other, the world is really unpredictable, if possible, I really hope you can pretend for the rest of your life, at least I'll feel like I have a good friend."
After listening to Batman's words, Elliott froze there. After a while, he laughed out loud. Unlike the previous madness, Thomas Elliott's laughter was full of sarcasm and pathos, but it was Don't know who it's for. After getting Batman's answer, Elliott, whose life had come to an end, just stood there, his skin crumbling inch by inch, looking in Batman's direction with his unfocused eyes, and finally said.
"I didn't expect that in the end I would become the person your Batman envied. Did I win?"
With the last question, Thomas Elliott, the manipulator who called himself Silent and caused the chaos in Gotham behind the scenes, also at this moment, his life came to an end. The crumbling skin caused Thomas Elliott to dissipate into the air like dust, leaving only his clothes on the ground. Looking at this dead friend, Batman stood there, not knowing how to judge him, and A man who is tragic because of himself, Batman, is really a curse.
But before Batman finished expressing his feelings, the clown who was supposed to be lying on the ground, brought back to Arkham Asylum by Batman and locked up also stood up, still with the same smiling face, but staggered when he walked , kept backing away, and stopped next to the chemical pool. Watching the clown's movements at this time, Ke Wen controlled Dick and did not let him act rashly, because the clown was too mysterious, even if the clown seemed to be committing suicide at this time, Ke Wen also didn't want Dick to control the body and rush up.
Because he couldn't guarantee that the clown would have any other tricks, even Batman frowned at this moment, and he didn't understand why the clown did this.
"Clown, I'm not in the mood to play with you now, don't think about doing those eye-catching stupid things, you know, I can pull you back the moment you jump off."
"Playing? No, no, Batboy, I just chose an ending ceremony for myself. You don't think I'm dead and everything is over, do you?"
The clown also responded to Batman's threat, but his words made Batman frown, he didn't know what the clown meant.
"What do you want to say?"
"It seems that you don't know my name until now, Bat Boy~"
The clown's rhetorical question made Batman stunned for a moment, and at the moment Batman was stunned, the clown's figure fell backwards. And when Batman reacted, the hook gun ejected from his waist was already a step slower. He didn't catch the clown, so he could only fit with Ke Wen and Dick's heterogeneous W, looking at it with a smile and laughing The clown just fell into the chemical pool and was swallowed by it.
And after the chemical substance in the chemical pool swallowed the clown, it reacted violently, and the explosion was released from the chemical pool again, directly detonating the entire chemical pool, and the burning sparks splashed to other places in the factory, causing a catastrophe. A series of explosions.
But Batman is still standing where the clown fell just now, looking at the wreckage of the chemical pool that swallowed the clown, the clown's words just now echoed in his mind, and he still doesn't know the clown's real name. Doesn't mean Batman's curse continues, Batman can't find an answer. But I have to admit that the Joker's words planted a seed in Batman's heart.
"Go, it's going to explode!"
Ke Wen didn't care about Batman's gaffe at this time, he only knew that the clown would still appear in another way, but now, if Batman is gone, there will be no one who can punish the clown in the future guy. Grabbing Batman's shoulder, and shaking it hard, the gust of wind around Batman took Batman out of the chemical plant that was about to explode, leaving only the alien W that Ke Wen and Dick merged into one still inside.
After sending Batman away, Ke Wen also controlled the body of the alien W and ran towards the gate of the chemical plant, but the moment he walked out of the gate, only Dick came out alone. Looking at the battle uniform on his body, why didn't Dick know that the moment he stepped out of the gate, Ke Wen lifted his transformation, but at this moment he couldn't stop, and there was a force behind him pushing him until he arrived The safe distance disappears.
At this time, Dick could turn around, and saw Ke Wen's back to him, and the surroundings were already surrounded by flames, and even he couldn't rush over. But he didn't understand why Ke Wen did this. In the battle just now, he had already recognized Ke Wen as his partner. What is the significance of doing this.
"Hey! What are you doing! Come out quickly, if you are worried about the misunderstanding between the Justice League and the Titans, then I can stand with you, and we will find out the truth of the matter!" Dick turned his back to Ke Wen roared.
"I know, but well, my mission in this city is over, and there are other guys waiting for me to deal with. Besides, Gotham needs you now more than ever, and Batman can do it with you I am already very content with my partner for this night, so I will bid farewell first."
Listening to the relaxed and freehand words in Ke Wen's words, Dick didn't know why, and there was sadness in his heart. Looking at Ke Wen who was still facing him, he couldn't help asking: "You guy, you plan to leave without saying goodbye. How can you say such a thing with a smile like that!"
Hearing Dick's last words, Ke Wen, who turned his back to Dick and couldn't say goodbye, turned his head at this time, still smiling brightly, but said to Dick: "Then what are you crying for? "
With a rhetorical question, Dick froze there, and then he realized that there were tears on his face, but he didn't notice it at all. Touching the warm tears on his cheeks with his hands, Dick couldn't help asking himself: "Yeah, why am I crying?"
Ke Wen didn't answer Dick's question, but just looked at his partner and said again: "Then, goodbye, partner~"
With a final greeting, the chemical plant on the verge of explosion completely detonated at this time, and the flames completely engulfed Ke Wen and disappeared before Dick's eyes. But Dick looked at the position that swallowed Ke Wen. He knew that such an explosion could not kill Ke Wen. He just left with the help of this explosion, but he stood there, expecting this figure to appear again , muttered in his mouth.
"I will definitely remember you, partner, and I will definitely remember your name."
