Chapter 87 The Clown Appears!
"Master Ke Wen? I didn't expect you to come here at this time, but Master Dick doesn't seem to be at home."
At the gate of Wayne Manor, Alfred stared at Ke Wen, who was visiting, and was surprised. He also informed the fact that Ke Wendick was not there.
"It's okay. I didn't come here to look for Dick this time. I just came to see you. After all, the former masters are back, and I know them too. I really want to know how they are doing in this new world now."
In response, Ke Wen also stated his purpose for coming to Wayne Manor. The old butler understood it, and after bringing Ke Wen in, he also talked about the Wayne couple there.
"As you know, during the period when Master Bruce disappeared, Master Thomas also temporarily became Batman. Although there are very few times when Gotham needs Batman, there are still some things that Batman needs to deal with .Well, I really didn't think about why in the end, whether it is Master Thomas or Master Bruce, why they all become Batman, and even Mrs. Martha..."
When talking about the clown Martha in the flashpoint timeline, the old man also showed a bit of helplessness and loneliness on his face. It's not that he didn't think that maybe in another parallel universe, the Wayne family, who regards him as his family and he also regards them as his family, has a good life, just like a normal family of three. Tan, as long as there is someone in the Wayne family, there will be someone who becomes Batman, or degenerates into a clown.
"The world is impermanent, that's why I appeared, didn't I, Alfred, since I appeared, at least Bruce's spare time life has not been as chaotic as it used to be." Ke Wen also comforted the old man by patting on the back .
"Yes, Master Ke Wen, your appearance has indeed changed a lot of people. Now I only hope that this change is not temporary. I'm sorry, I lost my composure."
Alfred is also the one affected by the memory rebirth storm in the old universe. After all, the butler is not joking with you. He naturally understands the specialness of Ke Wen, but it does not prevent him from treating Ke Wen as his son and grandson. Generations to see. He is just an old man, an old man who wants to see his children and grandchildren have the happy life that normal people should have.
After a few pleasantries, Ke Wen was also sitting in the living room, and Alfred also went to make tea. While Ke Wen was admiring the decoration of the rich family, Helena, who was the most favored in Wayne Manor, also ran over in a hop, of course, followed by Damian, the sister-in-law. After briefly explaining why little Jonathan didn't come to Gotham recently, Helena also left with some reluctance. She went to play with Grandpa Thomas, while Damian sat across from Ke Wen, watching suspiciously. Ke Wen.
"If you have anything to say, just say it, and you're starting to feel awkward?"
Drinking the tea made by Alfred, Ke Wen also joked there.
"I was just thinking about why you came here,
You're suspicious of Grandpa, aren't you? "It is Batman's own son after all, and he immediately guessed why Ke Wen came here.
"It's not a suspicion, it's just that there are some things that need to be checked. I want to know who sent them to our main universe timeline."
"Is it important?"
"Of course, I don't doubt Thomas' love for his son, but it is precisely because of this love that he can be easily used without his knowledge."
"Do you have evidence!"
"Then you have to ask to find out, okay, don't always look like a little grown-up, and make me this expression when you turn 18, where is Thomas, the study is still down." He stepped forward and messed up Damian's hair, Ke Wen also asked there.
Pointing to the ground, Damian walked away unhappy, and Ke Wen just shrugged indifferently, and walked down the bat cave with ease. It was still a familiar light. When Ke Wen walked down, he also saw Thomas Wayne sitting in front of the brother's computer, looking at the cameras placed in every corner of Gotham City, looking at the pedestrians coming and going, For Ke Wen's arrival, Thomas, who had been prepared for a long time, turned his head and greeted Ke Wen.
"You look very good. It's really the warmest home, right?" After finding a chair, Ke Wen also sat opposite Thomas, looking at the Batman who once fought side by side in the flashpoint timeline, carefully observing At the same time, he also divided his attention, staring at the clown Martha who was locked in the room by Thomas and was smirking at the wall in a daze.
"It may not be appropriate to say this, but it was indeed the right choice for me to entrust you with the right choice. At least I saw that Bruce was trying to change this city, and you were also trying to change Bruce's life. Thank you."
"No need to thank you. How can I say that my main job is a detective. As a detective, it is reasonable to handle the affairs entrusted by the client. How is the world over there? I forgot to ask you when you came so suddenly. Has the world changed for the better after Superman left Earth?"
"Oh, you should understand what kind of creature human beings are. Even in the environment of nuclear winter, there were conflicts for survival. Not to mention that you and Superman cleared the nuclear radiation on the earth in the end. , gave them a chance to start again. Although there are fewer people, their desires will not disappear, especially when the resources are so abundant that they are completely useless, new countries, new human settlements, new cultures, new Faith will bring the world into conflict again, it's just that they don't have the ability to self-destruct for the time being."
Regarding Thomas' evaluation, Ke Wen also agreed that this kind of thing is unavoidable, at most the intensity is still within the controllable range. Of course, Ke Wen does not rule out that Thomas is lying, but people in the Bat Family lie without blinking their eyes, and you can't tell whether what he said is true or not, and it is impossible for him to take a trip to the flashpoint timeline now , he just looked at Thomas there, pondered for a while, and then said.
"So you think that's fine?"
"What?"
"I mean, in your new world, succeeding your missing son and continuing to act as Batman, guarding the newly born Gotham City, do you think this is what you should do? Instead of letting your son take off the battle Conquer, become the Bruce Wayne you expect?"
"I remember the commission I gave you, but you also see that Gotham is not completely free from Batman. Even if Batman is no longer as active as before, his presence will be a deterrent, a symbol, Let those guys with ulterior motives restrain themselves until Gotham City really works and becomes what it was originally. I'm just doing what I should, have to do. At least now I can see Bruce's identity outside of Batman Next, there is such a friend, the family cares about him, very good."
"...I think he will be very happy to know that you think so, thank you, let me know that life in that world is not bad, let's go, we will meet again when we have time."
"You are welcome anytime."
Looking at Thomas, Ke Wen was silent for a while, then waved and left the Batcave. And Thomas was also sitting there, watching Ke Wen leave. As Ke Wen disappeared into the Batcave, Thomas' expression became crazy, with one hand turned into a monster, and he said to himself: "My dear, He already knows, can we start?"
"Of course, in order for our Bruce to understand what real powerlessness is."
The one who answered him was Martha the clown who was locked in the room at the beginning. The closed room is not effective at all. She and Thomas are two strange people in one body. Separate separation has no effect, but Ke Wen and the others don't know it. At this time, the clown Martha just grew out of Thomas' neck, answering Thomas' words there. And in the words of the couple, a bat generated from the coins of desire cells also separated from their bodies and disappeared into the darkness.
Outside Wayne Manor, Ke Wen looked at the mansion, and his expression became ugly.
As Clark guessed before, there is definitely a problem with the arrival of the Wayne couple, not just behind the scenes, but they themselves have problems. In the conversation between him and Thomas just now, when Thomas talked about the identity of Batman, Thomas' performance was too flat. Yes, as a father, he knew very well that it was not easy for Batman to take off his uniform. Things need a process.
But the problem is that he is Thomas, he is Batman in the flashpoint timeline, and he knows how deep the curse of Batman's identity is and how many tragedies it is accompanied by. It can be said that as long as Bruce is Batman, tragedies will continue to happen to him. Even now in Gotham City in the main universe, the disappearance of Batman did bring some turmoil, but it has not yet reached the point of chaos, but Thomas still became Batman instead of his son, and enjoyed it.
It's really wrong, at least as a father, he shouldn't be so calm, or have a sense of pride. The silence just now was Ke Wen thinking about whether to do it or not, but just now when Thomas talked about family and friends, Ke Wen held back because he was using everyone in Wayne Manor as a bargaining chip and telling Ke Wen , as long as you dare to do it, a few people in Wayne Manor will definitely die.
Ke Wen didn't dare to bet, didn't dare to bet on the hole cards of this seemingly ordinary Batman in front of him. When Ke Wen was about to do something, his premonition told himself that as long as he did it, something would happen!
"So in the end, did you betray yourself, or did you betray Bruce, shit, that's what got me here, could it be you?"
Looking at Wayne Manor, Ke Wen also said bitterly, the home field advantage is on his side, even if he noticed it, no, it should be said that after Thomas took the initiative to expose something wrong, he couldn't do anything, this is what he and The tacit understanding between Thomas. Now Ke Wen is sure that Batman's disappearance is definitely related to the Wayne couple, and they didn't come to the timeline of the main universe when they saw it, it should be earlier.
The current plan is to find the missing Batman in order to break the situation. What Ke Wen is more worried about now is that it is not Dr. Manhattan who hinders the Wayne couple from coming here, but the Dark Knights that he is most worried about. If so, it all makes sense.
Unable to tell Damian about Thomas' situation, he can only leave temporarily and start looking for Batman's whereabouts in Gotham City. He is sure that the Wayne couple hides Batman here. Only here can Batman watch his city be destroyed and the family members he cares about die. The sense of helplessness completely crushes him, and he completely gives up on becoming Batman. Thomas has already told him what he wants to do. Ke Wen.
And what Ke Wen has to do now is to find Batman and break this situation!
Just when Ke Wen and Thomas handed over conditions to each other through verbal confrontation, in the new Gotham City, the two future brothers who quietly took leave and came here to investigate the situation were also looking for the whereabouts of Batman.
Relying on the halo of Ke Xue, the son of the world who inherited the savior Ke Wen, Conan also took Ke Xue around Gotham City.
As Ke Xue sensed, what he wanted was to find Batman, and the aura of the Son of the World would also work in the dark, giving various hints through various coincidences, so that Ke Xue and Conan could follow the trail. But I don't know what is affecting Ke Xue's perception. He clearly feels that Batman is right in front of him, but every time they find either a Batman peripheral store, a Batman-themed restaurant, or even a masquerade ball Batman on.
This kind of headless chaos made Ke Xue doubtful, and Conan couldn't figure it out. He had taken Ke Xue to search all over Gotham, including Arkham Asylum. Batman's safe house in the ruins of Gotham City, one after another, but there is no sign of Batman.
"Are you sure there's nothing wrong with your induction?" Another miss made Conan start to question Ke Xue's aura of the son of the world.
"Hey, brother, it was you who said that although we are all descendants of future branches due to different choices made by our father, the strength of the future fathers of the two branches should not be much different. You are stronger in combat power I am strong in the aura, and if you question me now, you are questioning yourself and your father's fighting power!"
"But how do you explain the current situation? We've been out of space for two days. We've traveled all over Gotham, including the underground. Even if it's the so-called magic and different spaces, I can detect it, but is there a shadow of Batman? ?”
"I don't know that. The induction guides me like this. It's impossible to make a mistake. But now you know, I feel that Batman is in every corner of Gotham now. You said he won't be dismembered, right?"
"You can shut up, don't you know that your mouth has been opened!"
Conan also complained about Ke Xue's crow's mouth. This may not be impossible, after all, in Ke Wen's narration in the branch of the future, it is not that Batman has never died, but he can come back to life for various weird reasons every time, or escape from birth. If the body was dismembered, it was not impossible, but when the two brothers were discussing where Batman was hiding in the alley, an untimely voice sounded from the darkness deep in the alley.
"Whoah, look what I heard, I'm not the only one who is concerned about why Batboy is missing. It's a good thing, Uncle Jock, I like to show up when people need help."
The sound made the two brothers alert and looked directly into the darkness, because the two of them didn't realize that someone was eavesdropping on them. And with the sound of rhythmic footsteps, a figure also came out from the darkness.
A cheap purple suit, a smile badge on the chest, a pale face, and red lips. Walking out of the darkness is the third clown who has been missing for a long time!
