American comics: Only I know the plot

Chapter 145 The Funeral

The veteran police chief, who had weathered many storms, clutched his chest, overwhelmed with grief and tears streaming down his face. He had lost one of his most reliable partners.

Even Bain, who was pinned to the ground, was stunned. For the first time, a complex expression appeared on his face. He had never imagined that anyone would be willing to give their life for a stranger.

Throughout his life, he hated hope, hated light, and hated all those who sacrificed for others. He believed that everyone was selfish and only cared about themselves.

He never imagined that anyone would actually be willing to give their life to protect a stranger, willing to exchange their own death for the life of another.

This ordinary man, willing to sacrifice himself as a torch, burning himself to illuminate the entire city, overturned his entire understanding of life with his life.

This insignificant person, whom he had never taken seriously, dealt him the heaviest blow with his life, showing him what hope and perseverance truly meant.

The dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the first ray of sunlight pierced through the clouds, shining warmly and brightly on the streets of Gotham. The darkness was finally over.

The darkness completely dissipated, and light returned. Warm sunlight illuminated every inch of the land, dispelling the chill and the despair in our hearts.

On the streets and alleys, people cheered as they learned that the nuclear crisis had been averted and Bane had been subdued. They had no idea who had saved them.

The cheers grew louder and more enthusiastic, echoing throughout the city and lasting for a long time. They were celebrating victory, rebirth, and the return of light.

They cheered Batman's victory, Gotham's rebirth, and the return of light. Little did they know that someone had given their life for all of this.

But no one knew that a man named Li Wei had given his life for all of this, sacrificing himself to bring life back to the entire city.

Bruce stood on the rooftop, facing the sunlight, his figure tall yet lonely, filled with desolation. He had lost his most important partner.

He lost his most trusted partner, his strongest supporter, and his most loyal comrade-in-arms. The person who had always been by his side was gone.

Over the next three days, Gotham City returned to order, reconstruction work proceeded rapidly, the streets were cleaned up again, and the city slowly returned to its former appearance.

Bain was transferred to the highest level prison and sentenced to life imprisonment with no hope of release. He deserved it and would spend the rest of his life in prison to atone for his crimes.

With the Shadow Alliance traitors wiped out, Gotham is free from external threats and has returned to peace. The dark age has come to a complete end.

The entire city was shrouded in a faint sorrow, mourning the nameless hero and silently bidding farewell to Li Wei.

Bruce, Alfred, Catwoman, Robin, Commissioner Gordon—all those who witnessed the final battle were still grieving the loss of Levi and unable to let go of their grief.

Everyone was immersed in grief over the loss of Li Wei, unable to let go, missing him day and night. That silently devoted figure would forever remain in their hearts.

Bruce ordered a funeral of the highest honors in Gotham for Levi, with the entire city paying tribute. He wanted to give this hero the glory he deserved.

Flags were flown at half-mast throughout the city, and people spontaneously took to the streets to bid farewell to this unsung hero. The streets were packed with people, and everyone was grateful to this hero who saved the city.

On the day of the funeral, the sun shone brightly, but it could not hide the sorrow that filled the city. The atmosphere was heavy and solemn, and even the wind slowed down to mourn the hero.

The lawn of Wayne Manor was covered with flowers, and countless people spontaneously came to pay their respects. The white flowers represented their respect for the hero.

The black coffin sat quietly in the center, draped with the Gotham City flag, solemn and dignified. Inside was the cenotaph of Li Wei, in their hearts.

Bruce, dressed in a black tuxedo, stood silently before the coffin, his whole being filled with grief. He had lost the most important partner in his life.

Catwoman, dressed in a long black dress, had red eyes and tears that never stopped flowing. She had lost the person who had captured her heart and whom she cared about deeply.

Robin bowed his head in silent mourning. The boy's face was full of loss and sadness, and he was listless. He had lost a mentor, a comrade-in-arms, and a hero.

Sergeant Gordon, with a solemn expression, bowed deeply to the coffin, paying his highest respects. He had lost a reliable partner who had fought alongside him.

Alfred, his eyes red, silently wiped away his tears, heartbroken. He had lost a family member, a family member who had protected Mr. [Name] together.

Everyone thought that Li Wei had left forever and would never come back; they were mentally prepared to lose him forever.

Standing at the funeral, preparing to bid farewell to the hero who saved Gotham, they wept uncontrollably; in their hearts, everyone said goodbye to him.

Just as the pastor began his eulogy and the funeral was about to enter its most sorrowful phase, a figure slowly approached from a distant intersection, his steps faltering yet unusually firm.

At the distant intersection, a figure slowly approached, his steps faltering yet unusually firm, breaking the somber atmosphere of the funeral.

The figure's clothes were tattered and torn to shreds, covered in dust and stains, making him look disheveled and miserable—a picture of someone who had endured countless hardships and dangers.

His hair was disheveled, his face was covered in dust, and his steps were unsteady, yet unusually firm. He approached step by step, each step incredibly difficult.

But that figure, that outline, that gaze, were crystal clear, so familiar they made one's heart tremble. It was Li Wei, the Li Wei they thought they had lost forever.

It's Li Wei.

The entire room fell silent instantly. Everyone was stunned, their eyes wide with disbelief, unable to believe that the dead were actually standing alive before their eyes.

The pastor's words came to an abrupt halt, the wind seemed to stop blowing, and the world fell silent. All eyes were fixed on that figure.

Bruce looked up abruptly at the figure, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief, his body trembling slightly. He couldn't believe his eyes.

Catwoman shuddered, her tears instantly ceasing. She stared intently at the newcomer, her heart pounding. It was the person she had longed for day and night—Li Wei.

"Li—Li Wei?"

Catwoman's voice trembled with disbelief as she took steps forward, trying to confirm whether it was real or just her imagination.

She walked step by step toward the figure, her steps faltering, her whole body trembling, unable to believe that the person who had passed away had actually returned.

She couldn't believe her eyes, couldn't believe that the person who had passed away was standing alive before her, the person she thought she had lost forever had returned.

Looking at the funeral scene before him, at the flowers and the grieving crowd, Li Wei smiled wearily but gently, a smile as warm as ever.

"Sorry—I think I'll make it."

He trekked back to Gotham from the no-man's-land, traversing mountains and rivers, enduring countless hardships and dangers, without food or water, relying entirely on his willpower.

In the final moments of the explosion, he activated his invincibility mode, becoming immune to all impacts, but was still blasted far away by the shockwave and miraculously survived.

Without transportation or supplies, he had to walk back to Gotham step by step, for three days and three nights without sleep, and finally made it back.

Without transportation or supplies, he had to walk back to Gotham step by step, taking three days and three nights to finally arrive in time for his own funeral.

He worked tirelessly for three days and three nights, enduring wind and rain, and finally made it back to the city he had protected, where he returned for his own funeral.

Catwoman walked up to Li Wei, reached out a trembling hand, and gently touched his cheek. It was warm and real; it wasn't an illusion, it was the real Li Wei.

The warm touch, the real breathing, the clear heartbeat—all proved that this was not an illusion, but the living, breathing Li Wei, the person she longed for.

It's not an illusion, not a ghost image.

It's Li Wei, it really is Li Wei.

He was alive, he had returned, and he stood safely before her, unharmed, only exhausted and covered in dust.

Catwoman could no longer control her emotions. She rushed forward, hugged Li Wei tightly, and sobbed uncontrollably. All her longing and worries erupted at this moment.

Tears instantly soaked Li Wei's tattered clothes, and she couldn't suppress her sobs, filled with the joy of having him back. She never wanted to lose him again.

All the grief, all the longing, all the worries erupted at this moment, surging forth and transforming into a tight embrace and scalding tears.

She raised her head, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him passionately and deeply, with the ecstasy of something lost and found, and the love that was etched into her very soul.

This kiss contained all the passionate, urgent, lost and found, unforgettable emotions, all the longing, and all the fear.

Li Wei was caught off guard by this sudden enthusiasm, and his body stiffened slightly. He had never seen a catwoman like this before, so passionate and sincere.

Feeling the trembling and tears of the person in his arms, he began to respond passionately, embracing her tightly. He didn't want to let go again, didn't want to lose her again.

The sunlight shone on the two of them, warm and dazzling, making them the most touching sight in the entire room. All the sadness turned into joy at this moment.

After a moment of deathly silence, thunderous applause and cheers erupted, echoing through the sky. Everyone was overjoyed at Li Wei's return.

Bruce's tense lips slowly curved into a relieved smile, his eyes filled with relief. His partner had returned; he had never left.

Robin jumped up excitedly, his face breaking into a bright smile, cheering with joy. His comrade was back, everything was back.

Sheriff Gordon laughed heartily, his eyes red-rimmed, clapping incessantly, overwhelmed with excitement. His partner had returned safely; Gotham's hero was back.

Alfred wiped away his tears, smiled with relief, and nodded repeatedly, feeling a great weight lifted from his shoulders. His husband's friends and family members had all returned.

Flowers were in full bloom, the sun shone brightly, applause thundered, and the whole city rejoiced. All sorrow was replaced by joy, and all despair was filled with hope.

The darkness of Gotham has vanished completely, never to return; the fallen heroes have returned safely, and everything is as it was before.

The departed heroes have returned safely, their lives restored to normal; the desperate crisis has been completely resolved, and peace has been restored.

The desperate crisis was completely resolved, peace was restored, and Gotham finally ushered in true light and true hope.

Li Wei held the catwoman in his arms, feeling the warmth and reality in her embrace. His heart was filled with warmth. He was back, back to the city he had protected, back to the person he cared about.

Looking at the cheering crowd and at Bruce's renewed smile, it was all worth it. All the effort and sacrifice were worth it.

He knew that all the perseverance, dedication, running, and risks were worthwhile, and he used his actions to protect everything he wanted to protect.

He became a torch, burning away the darkness, and finally ushered in the dawn that belonged to Gotham and to himself. The light finally arrived.

"It's so great to see you all!"

With the soft jade in his arms, Li Wei felt that since arriving in this instance, he had never felt as relaxed as he did now.

Having resolved Bain's problem, all he wanted was to get a good night's sleep.

"Hey, you're not being fair."

Just as Li Wei and Catwoman were looking at each other, about to say something more, a voice suddenly interrupted them.

"Bruce, if you don't make a sound, no one will think you're mute."

Levi turned to look at Bruce Wayne, who had a wicked grin on his face, and felt that he couldn't stand the guy no matter how he looked at him.

"Alright, there will be plenty of opportunities to talk about love."

Bruce completely ignored Levi's murderous glare and put his hand on his shoulder.

"Tell us, how did you manage to get into that situation..."

Bruce's previously carefree tone suddenly turned heavy, causing the atmosphere in the room to freeze.

The scene, which had become somewhat noisy due to Li Wei's appearance, suddenly quieted down, becoming so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Everyone proved with their actions that their curiosity was no less than anyone else's.

The key point is that everyone is very curious about Li Wei's escape from death, after all, in that situation, no one present would think that they could do the same as Li Wei.

You have to understand, that's a nuclear bomb!

"Actually, buddy..."

Facing the unwavering gazes of everyone present, even with Li Wei's strong mental fortitude, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

Just as he was about to play dumb and fool her, Li Wei looked up and saw the catwoman's inquisitive gaze.

The words that were on the tip of his tongue suddenly became stuck in his throat when he saw the catwoman's scarlet lips.

After a slight hesitation, Li Wei looked around at everyone.

Finally, his gaze settled on Catwoman's face, meeting her eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Alright, I'll tell you the truth."

"Actually, I come from another world, and I just happen to possess an ability similar to invincibility."

"I used this ability at the moment the nuclear bomb exploded, which is how I survived the blast."

Li Wei's words stunned everyone present, and the expressions on everyone's faces changed from curiosity to astonishment.

While everyone was stunned, Catwoman was the first to react.

"You bastard, when did you become like Bruce Wayne, never telling the truth!"

Catwoman's tone was full of anger, and it was clear that she was very dissatisfied with Li Wei's "truth," which was not entirely heartfelt.

These words caused Bruce behind them to freeze in shock. He never expected that Catwoman would have such an impression of him.

A playboy who never tells the truth!

Li Wei opened his mouth, about to say that he was telling the truth, when he suddenly felt a tightening in his lower abdomen, followed by a sharp pain.

Looking down, he saw a delicate, snow-white fist making intimate contact with his lower abdomen.

"You bastard, how dare you lie to me! This is your punishment!"

Catwoman looked at Li Wei and said in a cold tone.

"Hiss~"

Li Wei finally recovered and couldn't help but gasp.

Before he could even take a breath, he felt his mouth being blocked by two soft lips.

Upon closer inspection, they were met with the catwoman's deep, wild eyes...
