Laughing American comics, I am becoming more and more like a clown

"If I want to live...I want to get out!"

Some people are afraid.

The man looked at the people around him who were in an uproar and signaled that he had something else to say: "Listen, don't worry about who is the culprit. If a nuclear war breaks out, no one will notice us. We will definitely die here."

"Is there anyone who wants to live now?"

He said, "If you want to live, then listen to me! Bring out the food, and then go see if there's anything here that we can move!"

But some people still questioned him: "Why take the food out? If we don't take it out, it won't affect our viewing, won't it affect our escape?"

Obviously, this person had food in his hands, and obviously, he didn't want to hand it over.

Even though this was a life-or-death crisis, it wasn't a disaster yet. Even if they were trapped here, they wouldn't die for a while... This was just a cage, and it was even safer than the outside world.

Those who have food are one group, and those who have no food are another group, and they are confronting each other without giving in.

No one even looked to see if there was any place where they could move and escape.

Also at this time.

"boom--"

There was an explosion.

A bomb came from nowhere and blew up a piece of space in an extremely clever way.

Light shone from outside. The crowd suddenly became quiet.

Okay, now that the crisis is over, food doesn't matter, and gangs don't matter.

The two sides that were originally very cohesive suddenly became a group of loose sand, rushing out through the gap one after another.

……

The Batmobile sped along the cracked road, through the Diamond District to its next location.

It was he who just calculated the thickness of the wall, scanned the distribution of people inside with an infrared device, and finally accurately found a weak point.

The problem was solved with a bomb, but now the person being rescued will not be grateful, and the savior has no intention of acknowledging the credit.

……

Fortunately, Gotham was blockaded, and many ships were empty because they could not go out to sea. Only a few ships were burning on the beach, and oil spilled on the sea, causing the water to spread with flames.

However, the bridges between Gotham city areas, namely Mesh Creek, Finger Creek, and Mile Bay, were not cut off.

It was daytime and there was a constant flow of traffic, but the bridges broke and collapsed due to the earthquake caused by the nuclear explosion.

Some of the cars had sunk, taking the bodies with them and drowning in the water.

The cars and people trapped on the bridge were in danger, but from nowhere, several life rafts floated over at an unusual speed - they were full of life jackets and lifebuoys.

……

Lucian originally thought that this was a good opportunity for the Hunchback to reveal his identity as Batman.

But Hush-Bat didn't do that, just as he didn't listen to Lucian's advice not to save people, he also didn't listen to his advice to tell Batman or Bruce Wayne.

Silent Bat is still a ghost, saving more people in unexpected forms.

……

Establish isolation belts, spray lime powder, close valves in advance before the chemical plant is detonated, and use airplanes to lift heavy objects to rescue buried people.

Regardless of the method, the power of the Blessing of Silence alone is very limited, and no one is helping him except his own allies.

He can't save all of Gotham.

Especially since this bat isn't an Arkham Bat.

(Batman in the Arkham game took care of a lot of things in Gotham in one night)

To some extent, this was a futile effort, but Lucian understood his intention, just like the famous Yilin story:

On the morning after a storm, a little boy was throwing stranded fish back into the sea one by one. A passerby saw this and couldn't help but persuade the boy: "Son, there are hundreds or even thousands of small fish in this puddle. You can't save them all."

"I know." The little boy answered without looking up.

"Then why are you still throwing it? Who cares?"

"This little fish cares!" the little boy answered, picking up a fish and throwing it back into the sea. "This one cares, and this one cares too! And this one, this one, and this one..."

The Silent Bat is like the little boy saving the fish, saving as many people as possible...

Are heroes born?

Lucian looked at all this and suddenly had this question.

Like Prometheus in Greek mythology, we are born with the desire to care for others.

An immortal, a descendant of God, he possessed extraordinary compassion and patience for those beneath him, having taught humanity nearly every survival skill, even willing to endure the punishment of having his liver pecked by an eagle for thirty thousand years or more just to allow humanity to possess fire.

Lucien couldn't understand... He was not a hero, and he didn't understand heroes.

If you ask him to say something about villains, self-destruction or destroying the world, Lucian can talk about it freely, express different opinions, and even say a thing or two about saving the world.

But it was not this kind. The salvation that Lucian had in mind was not the kind it was now. It was more like heroism, a kind of heroism that he had only heard of but never seen.

He should ask Bat Lantern, after all, no one knows bats better than Bat Lantern.

But Lucien didn't even look away. He was always looking at the silent bliss inside. Even though his thoughts drifted away involuntarily, he didn't look away.

……

The first day I crossed into this world seemed like a long time ago.

But Lucien clearly remembered that he was speechless at that time, yes, speechless.

I was very skeptical of Fijinet. After all, how could a murderous Batman possibly be saved? How could the world possibly transform from a dark multiverse to a light multiverse?

Lucien thought that the story had ended long ago. It was just a time-travel accident and there was no need to save it.

It is precisely because he thinks so that he is so unruly in this world and always wants to play games like the Joker and Bats.

But now it seems that this is not the case.

……

The Silent Bat is not crazy, he just kills people, but he is a little more violent than ordinary bats.

The core of it is still Batman. He is not laughing maniacally, he can still be saved... No, it cannot be said that he can be saved, but he does not need to be saved, he is a complete bat in himself.

Lucian thought of something else... What was the fundamental reason for the shift from the Dark Multiverse to the Light Multiverse? Was it really just a matter of using Batman as the protagonist and preventing him from turning evil again?

If only it were that simple. Just like in Bruce's world, Lucian only needed to become the culprit and then leave to achieve his goal.

Just need to discuss with Fijianet, and the so-called dark multiverse can be saved in batches.

...But if that's the case, then the universe now becomes a counterexample.

……

Everything in the world has its own rules to follow. Although we cannot confront them head-on, we can achieve our desired goals by allowing the collision between rules.

……

Silent Bat is still a boy who throws fish into the sea.

The biggest problem was the lack of manpower. His like-minded friends, such as Harvey Dent and Jason Todd, and some influential people in certain areas, stepped forward during this period.

Organize the survivors and provide emergency rescue to the ruins.

Still not enough.

Often, because we save the first person but fail to save the next one in time, someone ends up dying right in front of us... This is not uncommon.

Some were rescued but died due to various reasons.

The Silent Bat seemed like a cold-blooded creature, and he didn't stop for these people for even a second.

Jack and Alfred, one was arranging supplies and contacting others, while the other was using the cameras that Blessing of Silence had previously laid in Gotham to monitor the disaster area, mark it, and plan the best route to save as many people as possible.

……

Although the Silent Bat did not provide direct rescue, the snow-white bandages wrapped around his exposed skin became dirty due to black smoke or dust, and the gray matter in it was heavy and accumulated, making it difficult to detect, making him look even darker.

The bliss of silence is always for mortals. And Gotham, just after the nuclear explosion, is not safe. There are stray bullets, chemical leaks, fires, and all kinds of accidents.

One of the images on the screen was from the camera that Silent Blessing was carrying... At a certain moment, it captured the bandage wrapped around his hand oozing red.

is blood.

It stands to reason that Blessing of Silence had no chance of bleeding - he had not participated in any battle and no stray bullets had hit him, which was unreasonable.

So, Lucien inquired, "Does he have a skin disease?"

Yes, he does.

Alfred answered his question.

……

During his time at Arkham Asylum, Hush-Bat was subjected to various drug and psychological experiments by the director - the infamous Scarecrow, who was well-versed in psychology and pharmacology.

Although he did not destroy the Silent Bat psychologically, he allowed him to control the power of fear like other bats.

But he did cause physical harm to the Silent Bat.

The Silent Bat's skin is fragile and will bleed if exposed to sunlight, strong wind, or even touched by sharp objects. This is why he always wraps it with gauze - it is not, or is not simply, an escape from his identity.

The question that Lucian had never asked was why the eyes of the Silent Bat were red. Now he had the answer - the eyes were exposed to the air and light, so the capillaries burst and naturally turned into a terrifying red light.

……

So now, even though Silent Bat was far away and had no direct contact with the city, his fragile skin was still damaged by the contaminated bandage.

That's why he's bleeding.

"Who can remember his goodness in this state?" Lucian didn't say this out loud - it was inappropriate.

Just like Batman compares himself to a criminal, Hush doesn't expect anyone to think well of him.

……

What is Batman to Gotham?

It is a hero, it is hope, it is a spark in the ashes; it is a criminal, it is fear, it is darkness, it is a legend.
