Chapter 252

Gotham is a city with inheritance and history. It is one of the first large cities to appear on the Eastern Sea coast. There are currently 800W people in this city. In fact, if It is better known for its poor public security, and the population of this city is estimated to be one third.

The oldest family in the city that appeared at the same time as Gotham is actually not just the Wayne family, there are other three, but in the ebbing of time, the other three Great Families have all fallen. Only the style of doing things is peaceful, and the Wayne family has been handed down.

On the outskirts of Gotham, it is a vast private territory with forests, lakes and hills, just like a geopark. Here is the family land of the Wayne family. The famous Wayne Castle was 4 years ago It was burned once, but it has already been rebuilt.

And a few months ago, the owner of this castle finally returned to the place where he was born, with the mistress and the next generation Young Lord of this place, like the soul returned to the body , So that this place, which was always cold before, has become more and more humane.

"Damian! Damian Young Master, where have you been?"

Four years later, Alfred, who is getting older and older, is leaning on a cane in this criss-crossed castle garden. Called the name of Young Lord.

Although I have said countless times that I need to enjoy a good retirement time, this is his real home for Alfred, who has served the Wayne family for most of his life and regarded as his true relatives by Bruce Wayne. Especially after hearing that Young Master had also returned to Gotham, the old Alfred flew back to Gotham from Rome immediately in a private jet.

He can't wait to spend his only remaining time to train another good heir for the Wayne family.

Regarding this, neither Rachel Wayne nor Bruce Wayne disagrees. For these two guys, Alfred is also their elder.

"Damian, good child, don't hide, come out quickly and follow old Alfred to lunch. Your parents will be back soon. Are you unwilling to let them teach you?"

The rare warm sunshine in Gotham shines on the ground through the trees in the garden, and the sounds of birds around make the garden seem more secluded. Old Alfred leaned on a cane and shouted eagerly on the path, but always No response was received. Just when Alfred turned around, he saw Young Master leaning on the tree trunk with scars on his leg, and a man in a black trench coat was squatting there, talking to him. .

Alfred's chaotic eyes sharpened instantly. He rushed over at a vigorous pace that was not suitable for his age, waving his cane high, like an old lion protecting a cub.

"Stay away from Damian Young Master!"

"peng"

The cane was held firmly by the gloved hand, Cyber ​​turned around, Holding the ignorant little Damian in his other hand, he took off his sunglasses and looked at the old Alfred with a smile,

"long time no see, Alfred."

Alfred Looking at the face in front of him that didn't seem to have changed in the years, there was a look in his eyes that he didn't know whether it was comforted or surprised. He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Cyber ​​... I knew that someone like you... won’t die so easily."

Cyber ​​shrugged, let go of Alfred’s cane, and handed the little Damian in his arms to Alfred,

"This little cutie accidentally fell into the hole, just like Knight who was trapped in an adventure. If it weren't for me to be there, he would probably spend the night in the dark."

He glanced at the young Master’s wound, with a distressed look on his face, Alfred said softly, "I found Batcave by accident. It seems that this child is really an innate talent, and he really kept it. Wayne’s blood."

"Hey, I would rather he didn’t have an innate talent, or even a playboy."

Alfred took out the handkerchief from his arms and wiped Damian’s wound. Said to Cyber,

"Come on, take a seat, Bruce will be back soon."

Cyber ​​hesitated, but looking at the curious eyes of Damian, he was nodded, Follow Alfred into Wayne Castle.

Ten minutes later, Cyber ​​sat lazily on the sofa and looked at Wayne Young Master who walked out holding Alfred’s hand. He changed his clothes and his left leg was still a little unchanged. That kind of bruise is unbearable for a child, but the child is pale and silent.

It can be seen that he is a strong kid, but at the same time a bad-speaking kid. On the way Cyber ​​took him out of Batcave, he only said two things to Cyber.

Alfred went to prepare lunch, leaving Damian and Cyber ​​sitting face to face on the sofa. The little child looked at Cyber ​​curiously, and Cyber ​​was also watching him.

"Does it hurt?"

Cyber ​​asked, Damian hesitated, but in the end he was nodded. He lowered his head and said,

"It hurts."

"Why don't you cry?"

Cyber ​​asked again, "For a child, don’t you cry if it hurts?"

Damian looked up at him, Say in a child’s unique and immature voice,

"Father also has a lot of scars on his body, but he has never cried. Mother said that it is a symbol of manhood, so I can’t cry either."

"Yes, yeah, your father is a man."

Cyber ​​laughed, "He is still a hero, a hero of this city."

Interests of little children It’s easy to guess. When Cyber ​​talked about it, Damian's eyes widened immediately.

"Father mother never tells me about their past. Can you tell me his story? Why does Alfred say that my father is a hero?"

Looking at Damian’s imploring gaze, Cyber ​​thought about it,

"Okay...but it's a long one The story is over, don’t you need to do your homework?"

Wayne Young Master patted her chest and said proudly,

"It's already done! Those homework can't trouble me, and There are at least 2 hours left before my parents come back. I have enough time to listen to your story."

"Okay, okay... Then I will start to talk about it. This is about The story of Gotham's Red Devil and the black bat. The beginning of the story is on the dockside, where the dockside is..."

Alfred delivered lunch, but he didn't bother Cyber During the story meeting with Damian Young Master, Bruce was reluctant to tell the past, because he felt that the lost stories were meaningless, but now, one of the protagonists of the story has returned, and it would be more appropriate for him to say it personally. NS.

So when Bruce Wayne and Rachel Wayne, who had become tired after a day’s work, returned to Wayne Castle, they saw a yelling, cheering excitedly waving fist son. And an old friend sitting on the sofa telling a story with his back to them.

"father, mother!"

Damian saw his parents walking into the room, he ran up excitedly, the wound on his left leg was still a little painful, but he ran quickly , Threw into the arms of Bruce Wayne, who was a little surprised, with a completely different enthusiasm than before, making Rachel a little embarrassed with her open hands next to her.

Damian used to be very close to mother, but was separated from the serious-faced father.

"Father, father, are you Batman? The hero who will fly over Gotham at night and beat up the bad guys? You also defeated Joker and saved the city several times?"

Facing the eager anticipation in his son's eyes, Bruce gritted his teeth.

"No, child...that's just a story."

Damian's eyes It dimmed, but at this moment, Cyber ​​whispered,

"Come on, Bruce, when are you going to hide from Damian? Isn’t the hero’s blood flowing in his blood vessels? It will go out. My advice to you is to give him the correct guidance when he still needs to grow up, lest this child go on a crooked road."

He got up from the sofa and turned around. Body, at the moment when he saw his face, Rachel screamed with her mouth covered, tears burst into her eyes, she rushed to give Cyber ​​a warm hug,

"I knew ...I knew you wouldn't die so easily, I knew, ah, thank God, he sent you back."

Cyber ​​patted Rachel's shoulder, he turned his eyes to the same sluggishness In the same place, Bruce Wayne, his eyes were full of smiles,

"Admit it, Bruce, tell your child, let your relatives tell the past stories, and make them proud of you."

p>

Bruce Wayne looked at his son. He saw the excitement in Damian's eyes and the expectation he had never had before. He took a deep breath,

"Okay...Okay , Son, your father is... Batman."

"Yeah!!!"

Damian jumped out of Bruce’s arms, holding his hands high, and circling around the living room. "Yeah! My father is a superhero! Yeah!"

Five minutes later, in Bruce’s study, Cyber ​​and Bruce sat face to face. Cyber ​​briefly talked about his own affairs in the past four years, and then Turning the conversation to Bruce,

"You and Rachel have traveled the world for 3 years? This time is a bit too long, right?"

Cyber ​​asked with a wink while holding a cigar. "Damian was born on your journey? You guys can really play."

"No, no, no, not what you think."

Appears more mature Bruce waved his hand. “It’s not a trip around the world. In fact, we spent two years in Nepal. The special temple. Rachel and I like the environment very much. If it weren't for Damian's birth, we would probably stay there. "

"Nepal? "

Cyber ​​frowned, he extends the hand, clicked on the table, and suddenly said a place name, "Kamar-Taj? "

"en?"

Bruce's eyes widened. "Do you know that place too?" "

"Ancient One? "

Cyber ​​said another name, and Bruce's curiosity became more intense, "Do you still know Ancient One Master?" "

"Well...I won't ask! "

Cyber ​​raised his hands and surrendered, "I don't want to know anything about Ancient One, but I have to say, you are lucky, Bruce, this world are all looking after you, but I am here this time, yes Farewell. "

He looked at Batman with clear eyes, "I'm leaving Gotham, and I don't know how long I will come back next time. If you are not lucky enough, you may not see me for the rest of your life." ..."

Bruce wanted to speak, but was stopped by Cyber's outstretched hand.

"When I finish...I have to warn you about something, Bruce, some "old friends" are back, maybe you may sound incredible, but they really returned from hell, and their target is you, Bruce Wayne, or Batman! "

"But I am not Batman anymore! "

Bruce whispered, "Batman is dead!" Died in the final battle with Joker! "

"hehe...it seems you still don't understand what I mean, Bruce. "

Cyber's eyes flashed red rays of light. He took something out of his pocket and placed it on the desk in front of him. It was a Joker poker entwined with the power of shadow, making Batman stunned. At the same place, "They are back! They are in this city! You can't fool them! Among them is your most difficult opponent before! "

"Joker? "

Bruce's eyes have waited to the extreme, Cyber ​​shrugged,

"It's not just... everyone! An unprecedented game has begun, Bruce. The worst thing is that you are not qualified to refuse. Your opponent is aggressive and will not stop until you reach your goal. Get ready for Battle Armor, Bruce... a fierce battle is required coming! "

"You can't escape, you can't avoid it. Either you admit that you lost and you are a lunatic, or you just beat them in the face fiercely, just like before! "

Cyber ​​picked up his sunglasses from the table and put it on his face, he shrugged,

"But the good news is not without...I can’t say too much, but ...Gotham, don't leave here, here, you will be a Batman forever, as long as your will is not crushed, you will never fail! Bruce, this is your own war, this time, I can't help you. "

He got up and walked to the entrance of the study. As he stepped out of the room, Bruce whispered,

"I...I don't want to wear that suit anymore. , Bruce Wayne got everything he wanted, so Batman...should not show up again. "

Cyber's stopped for a moment, he chuckled lightly,

"hehe, this is the most interesting part of this story. In the overwhelming majority, we actually don’t have much The power of resistance, at least in the face of this matter, you can't refuse... I can probably guess that there is nothing you think can make you go back to that time, no! "

Cyber ​​turned the door open and walked out.

"In my opinion, you now have more reasons to wear a bat suit, but it is no longer for this city. The battle is for you, for Rachel, for Alfred, for the little Damian...You are stronger than ever, Bruce, a man who can give everything for something, a man with persistence in his heart.. .Is impossible to be defeated! "

"Wake up another self, Bruce, to become the shadow of fear flying over this city, leaving you time to hesitate...not much. "

"Become... the eternal Batman! "

He has some crazy voice floating in this corridor,

"Listen, look! The drums of war have been sounded, the smoke of gunpowder has risen, and Knight has lined up, the curtain of war has risen to the sky, reincarnation, endless battles, the way of heroes...this has just begun. "

He walked out of Wayne Castle, and a kid in pajamas lay on the window and waved at him vigorously.

"Cyber ​​Uncle, goodbye! You are welcome to come again next time! I like your story! "

Cyber ​​turned his head and looked at Little Damian. He waved his hand. A silver ray of light flashed a brilliant trajectory in the air, as if it had cut the darkness, and finally flew towards Damian fell down at the highest point and was picked up by the little boy.

Damian looked at the heavy object in his hand, it looked like a toy, it was a carefully crafted one The silver bat knife has a wide handle that can be held in the center, but the wings of the bats on both sides have been opened, and the cold light is overflowing.

On the back of the bat knife, engraved with twisted flame text There is a line that only Damian can see, "For Damian Wayne, a late birthday present from Red Devil. "

Cyber ​​took the silver white ghost face from his arms, clasped it on his face, commanded it with two hands, moved towards Little Damian and shook it, crimson's flames rose from under his feet, quickly slamming him The whole body wrapped, like a real devil, disappeared in the same place. In fact, it was only Cyber ​​flashing into the darkness at a super fast speed, but he was willing to leave a life-worthy, perfect ending for a child.

But this magical scene left little Damian stuck in place. After a while, the flame flew away, forming a burning bat emblem on the ground. The little child tightly held the bat knife in his hand with his eyes It was full of surprises and shocks, turned towards the bedroom door and rushed out.

"Coooool! Red Devil! He is really Red Devil! mother! mother...Cyber ​​Uncle is really Red Devil! Those stories, those stories are true! ”

Batman's story has started again...Cyber's story, we will continue to set sail.
