I train Batman in a horror world

Dick Halloran.

He is the head chef of this hotel's restaurant, and he is Black...

Wait, why am I emphasizing this?! (Sneaks out)

Like Danny, he is a special individual with the ability to see the flash.

In the original story.

He foresaw the impending changes at the hotel.

To prevent Jack and his family from falling victim to the hotel's malpractice.

He made a great decision.

That is—he gave up his vacation and went to the hotel alone!

It's just a pity.

When he drove his snowmobile to the hotel, ready to help Jack's family.

Little did they know that the hotel's influence on them was already unstoppable.

So Dick had a close encounter with Miss Fire Axe and died on the spot.

Fortunately, though.

At this moment, he no longer needs to go through these things.

Because Bruce Wayne has changed the timeline.

......

"Give it your all, Jack! I can see you!"

"I've already used all my strength!"

Although the snow had stopped, the hotel was now completely buried by the heavy snow.

The hotel doors were so covered in snow that they couldn't be opened easily.

Therefore, Jack could only use the fire axe to chop through the obstacles in front of him, one blow at a time.

About ten minutes had passed.

Jack and his family finally managed to meet Dick outside the hotel.

"Thank goodness, Mr. Torrance... I can finally breathe a sigh of relief to see you all safe and sound."

"Mr. Dick..."

Upon spotting Dick, Jack and his wife approached him and recounted what had happened at the hotel not long ago.

Their child, Danny, was with Bruce at that moment.

The two children, who were the same age, started chatting.

"A bat?"

"Yes, a bat, its name is Fowler."

Danny asked curiously, "Can I meet him?"

Bruce thought for a moment, then turned to look at Fowler.

It was perched on his shoulder, posing and dancing, but Danny still couldn't see it.

I think it's impossible.

Bruce said, "It's like your friend 'Tony,' I can't see Tony, and you can't see Foll."

"All right."

Danny was frustrated for a moment, then replied, "I think it's cool."

"cool?"

"Yes, you can travel with it to different worlds and see different scenery."

Bruce smiled helplessly. "Danny, I came to your world to confront different fears, overcome them, and stop being afraid. It's not something to be laughed at."

Danny asked, "Fear? Did you see anything scary in this hotel?"

Bruce carefully recalled the trip.

The ghosts of twin sisters.

A raging sea of ​​blood.

A chilling atmosphere....

Apart from that, it seems like I didn't see anything really scary.

So he told Danny about the strange thing he had seen.

That's all.

"...Tony and I have met them too, but I feel..."

Danny hesitated as he spoke.

Bruce raised an eyebrow: "Not scary at all?"

Danny nodded: "Yes, it's not scary at all."

"..."

Bruce shrugged, his gaze fixed on Fowler.

"Did you hear that? Even Danny doesn't think it's scary at all."

"What does this little brat know? Wait until I lose my temper, I'll flick his little earthworm, and he'll know what real terror is!"

"?"

Bruce simply couldn't fathom what was going on in that cowardly little mouse's head!

While inwardly cursing this guy.

The voices of Jack and his wife came from the front.

"Danny! Uncle Dick is looking for you."

"I am coming!"

Danny apologized to Bruce and ran towards them through the snow-covered ground.

Bruce glanced up instinctively and met Dick's gaze.

Dick was probably middle-aged and gave off a somewhat refined and scholarly air.

He nodded after seeing Bruce's gaze.

Bruce nodded in response.

However, this is just a very simple act of greeting.

But the next second, it took a different turn when spoken by Holmes.

"Damn it, this old black guy actually dares to provoke me!?"

That's enough!

"What did I do now!?"

Bruce retorted angrily, "I can't even be bothered to talk to you!"

Foul was also furious: "What did they do to you?!"

Bruce asked, "How dare you say that? What exactly happened at the hotel? What did you do?!"

Fowler declared matter-of-factly, "It had its eye on you, and then I took it in!"

"You!" Bruce was momentarily speechless.

He had come with great determination, intending to confront the hotel known as the "ghost."

I wanted to tell the hotel, I wanted to tell Forle, and I wanted to tell my own soul.

He is Bruce Wayne.

I will no longer feel any fear!

I will no longer be that powerless version of myself!

He must overcome all fear itself!

In the end, Fowler solved the hotel problem all at once?!

This gives the impression that he was determined to feed the dog!

All those grievances were condensed into a single sentence at that moment.

Bruce crossed his arms and sneered:

"It's not scary at all."

"Isn't this terrifying?!" Foul exclaimed in shock.

Upon hearing this, Bruce didn't even want to say anything.

Sudden.

Jack walked towards him.

"Hey Bruce, I haven't properly thanked you for everything you've done."

Jack's face showed a look of relief, as if he had just escaped death. "I'll write down everything that happened today and turn it into a novel. It'll definitely be a huge hit!"

Bruce said speechlessly, "You're that preoccupied with your own novel?!"

The person who writes this novel must be mentally ill!

And he knew that Jack had violent tendencies.

Now that this matter is over, he is very worried that Jack will revert to his arrogant and domineering ways in the days to come.

But Jack also seriously reflected on himself.

He solemnly said, "Yes, I know that I was not a good father or husband before."

"But you know, people change a lot when they face life-or-death situations."

"I assure you, just as you promised us before, that I will take on the responsibilities of a man."

Bruce was silent for a moment, then said, "...I hope so."

Jack nodded, then looked like he wanted to say something but didn't.

Bruce asked, puzzled, "Just say what you want to say."

"Listen, Bruce, Danny... Danny told me... I'm thinking..."

Jack said earnestly, "Maybe you could live with me, I mean... after all, you don't have a mom and dad anymore..."

"..."

Bruce felt a sudden surge of irritation for no apparent reason, but he forced it down.

"No need," he said coldly.

Even though I am an orphan, I still belong to Alfred!

"Okay, okay, you have your own ideas, I understand, I understand..."

"..."

After saying that, Jack did not stay there any longer, but returned to his wife and children.

Looking at the scene of them gathered together.

Bruce's worries deepened.

At the same time, an inexplicable emotion also emerged.

Jack and his family of three exchanged something with Dick, but it seemed they were planning to leave this place permanently.

Just before boarding the snowmobile.

Danny suddenly shouted, "Bruce, are you really not coming with us?!"

"Yes, child, let's leave together. What if the hotel..."

"No, just take care of yourselves!"

After he finished speaking, Bruce's body began to tremble.

The kind that you can't stop.

Danny, who was being held in her mother's arms, saw Bruce turn around and turn his back to them.

Jack, who was standing next to his wife Wendy, also gave her a strange look.

A happy family of three.

This contrasts sharply with the image of Bruce alone.

"Alright, Bruce, take care of yourself too!"

"..."

Bruce didn't reply, but instead raised one hand, shook it with his back to them, exuding an air of nonchalance.

Seeing this, Jack, his family of three, and Dick didn't linger and drove away in their snowmobile.

In places they can't see.

The teeth marks on the back of Bruce's hand were so obvious.

He doesn't even remember how much force he used.

He was trembling even more violently than before.

The worries that had been surfacing in my heart intertwined with that unknown emotion, and a strange change occurred.

It's like fire meeting oil.

It exploded with a bang.

Bruce also knew exactly what this inexplicable emotion was.

at this time.

now.

The tiny bat whispered the same question in my ear.

"I'll ask you one more time, kid, isn't this scary?"

"......Shut up!"

He knew the damn answer in his heart!

That damn emotion!

The more Bruce tries to suppress it, the stronger it rebounds!

At a certain moment.

At some point afterward.

Bruce saw a scene he never wanted to see again.

It was a rainy night.

It's a small alley.

It was a death.

"I hate you..."

"Foul, I hate you!!!"

The boy cried out like this.

The bats remained silent.

......

Perhaps this journey isn't terrifying to some people.

It doesn't have chillingly terrifying scenes, grotesque monsters, or the classic jump-face kill.

But actually.

From the perspective of a child who has just lost their parents.

Broken family relationships that are mended.

That's the real terror.

the reason is simple.

This child no longer has parents.

......
