Collapsing, the whole class turned into aliens upon waking up

Upon hearing this, Bruce immediately searched his mind for information related to those four words. With a tentative attitude, Bruce casually asked:

"What is that person's plan? What is it?"

Bruce Wayne has been captured; his presence is no longer a threat.

The leader, who understood this, answered without hesitation: "I can tell you clearly that the plan to eliminate Bruce Wayne was devised by Lord Matchstick Malone. That man is determined to eliminate Bruce Wayne and take everything from him."

Wait a minute, Matchstick Marlon? Isn't that the identity I occasionally use?

Moreover, the original owner of that identity, the original Matchstick Marlon, is now dead.

This is bad. My identity may have been discovered through some kind of mystical means.

The other party's use of "Matchstick Horse" as a code name is probably not a random act; it is most likely an implication of something.

I just don't know how much the other side already knows.

Batman quickly considered all the possibilities, while on the other side, the leader continued, "Next, all we have to do is hand you over to the employer."

"You want to take me away? I, Bruce Wayne, am not without my share of martial arts skills?"

After a moment's thought, Batman decided against recklessly taking the opportunity to advance. Seeing Batman in a fighting stance, the group of robbers felt amused.

Bruce Wayne, that playboy, hit us? Really?

Won!

At this moment, the group of robbers had a very simple thought in mind: defeating this guy in front of them was as easy as having hands.

Given their task of bringing Bruce Wayne to their employer, the group didn't plan to use handguns at this point, but props like baseball bats were a good, non-lethal option.

However, in the next instant, the group of robbers realized that they had underestimated the presence in front of them.

Batman then struck decisively, and in an instant, the robber closest to him was knocked unconscious with a single blow.

The fight, with its lightning-fast movements and brutal punches, unfolded in the alleyway.

At this moment, the group of robbers realized something: that seemingly good-for-nothing playboy might actually be a better fighter than he appeared.

"Bruce Wayne is just one person! If we attack together, even Bruce Wayne can't defeat us before he runs out of energy!"

Many of the recruited robbers are characterized by their ability to be flexible and adaptable. Their most important task right now is not anything else, but to outlast the person in front of them until they are exhausted.

"Could it be related to the magic incident last time? But I already asked Zatana to help me wipe away the aftermath of that incident."

While fighting, Batman was also thinking.

The group of guys in front of them were quite mediocre; there wasn't a single one who could be considered a supervillain, and their overall quality might even be inferior to some of the villains' henchmen.

"Now, can we have a proper talk?"

Looking at the people before him, Batman said this.

At that moment, the leader of the bandits remained completely calm.

"So what if you're a great fighter? In reality, that person has been observing this place all along. I have personally witnessed the incredible things that person has accomplished."

Bruce Wayne, your end is near!

Observing?

Upon hearing this, Bruce subconsciously continued to observe his surroundings. Although he had consciously overlooked some things due to the suddenness of the situation, he still had some recollection of them.

There's someone over there!

Looking at another alley nearby, Batman made this conclusion in his mind.

Aren't you coming out yet?

Looking over there, Batman spoke without hesitation.

Huh? You're calling me?

Upon hearing this, Nightwing was slightly taken aback. What... should he say now? This is bad.

However, there is no need to hide it any longer now that things have come to this.

Nightwing took a deep breath and stepped out of the alley.

Meanwhile, the book maker was completely bewildered.

No, I was just about to leave when who was that guy who took my spot?

He felt somewhat lost, but the situation at hand left him no time to dwell on it.

Because it seems like someone else stole his script.

"You're the mastermind behind sending people to kill me, you're Matchstick..."

Batman paused mid-sentence, for the person standing before him was none other than Nightwing.

Silence is Nightwing at this moment.

Honkai Impact 4th Year: Chapter 1712: Batman's Criminal Empire, Unstoppable!

Oh no, I've been identified as the mastermind.

Nightwing fell silent, while the group of robbers were stunned as they watched the figure slowly emerge from the alley.

Night, Nightwing?

Upon seeing the figure wielding two sticks, the group of robbers quickly began to think.

Was the plan to eliminate Bruce Wayne devised by Nightwing?

But why would Nightwing do that? Isn't Bruce Wayne one of Batman's benefactors?

"Nightwing, have you betrayed Batman?"

Thinking of this, one of the robbers subconsciously said, followed by the voice of another robber: "Nightwing, where's your Bat Spirit!"

Do we bats even have that kind of thing?

Upon hearing this, Nightwing was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously replied, "That thing was lost hundreds of days ago!"

Su Nuwanye's power has clearly permeated this world.

"What? Nightwing, you, you, you've finally learned to do something serious!"

Upon hearing this, the robber trembled, trembled again, and trembled once more!

It's touching, Gotham City. Batman's freakish little bird has finally learned to be a normal person.

Look at what that bastard Batman did to Nightwing, making him do all sorts of harmful and self-destructive things in Gotham all day long.

That's right. In the eyes of the robbers, Nightwing was definitely corrupted by Batman's resurrected thing. No normal Gothamite would use such skills to beat up criminals instead of profiting from them.

The previous patch that Batman used to get rid of Zatanna only targeted Bruce Wayne; the rumors about Batman himself were not erased by the irony.

In other words, in the eyes of everyone in the DC universe, Batman is still Einstein, and the same applies to Superman; in the eyes of others, Superman is still Lex Luthor.

Nightwing has turned to the dark side?

Upon hearing this, Batman instinctively thought that just as he was preparing countermeasures against the Justice League, he was doing the same for Nightwing.

However, against Nightwing, whose martial arts skills are essentially exceptional... he is more than capable.

Meanwhile, the book clerk who was secretly observing fell silent. No, what's going on with Nightwing?

Shouldn't it be my turn to step in now?

Why did you, Nightwing, go and provoke Bruce? Shouldn't you be a good hero?

"No, that's not what I meant. I didn't want to lay a hand on Mr. Wayne."

Nightwing shook his head and tried to explain, but before he could say anything more, one of the robbers gave him a knowing look:

“I understand. It must be the evil Einstein who, as the shadow that looms over Gotham, believes that Gotham can only have one king, so he decided to send Nightwing to take care of Bruce Wayne.”

The plan to eliminate Bruce was actually devised by Batman! Batman commissioned Nightwing, who then directed Matchstick Malone, to commission us to eliminate Bruce Wayne!

Upon hearing this, the scribe in the shadows was slightly taken aback. So that's how it is.

The emperor in the shadows... Batman, is this your ambition?

However, I will not allow such a thing to happen.

I will protect my Gotham! Even if you are a legendary scientist, you are destined to be defeated by my magic!

Thinking of this, a hint of determination appeared in Shushi's eyes.

He walked slowly towards them, and the sound of his footsteps attracted the attention of the bandits and the two masked heroes.

"This, this face!"

At this moment, one of the robbers froze, and Batman, seeing this, subconsciously thought of a supervillain.

Muddy face?

He was a formidable opponent who could transform into anyone; for him, his body was the best weapon, and he could freely change into any form suitable for his fighting style.

No, it doesn't seem like it. Rather than Mudface... it seems more like a newly emerged enemy.

"Nightwing, these guys have some potential; perhaps they can become a part of our criminal empire."

With a slight upturn of his lips, the author, who had just come up with a new idea, said this.

A terrifying ruler named Einstein lurks in the darkness of Gotham? Hmph, that was yesterday. I will replace Einstein, not only as Bruce Wayne, but also as Einstein himself.

As for his original name, there are quite a few spells in the Dark Book that target one's true name, so he dares not use them.

No, who are you? What criminal empire?

Seeing the figure appear in the darkness, and that face that looked exactly like Bruce Wayne and Batman, Nightwing was speechless for a moment.

"Gentlemen, you may call me the Bookkeeper. I... am the being prepared by that lord to replace Bruce Wayne and bring the Wayne Group under that lord's control."

Looking at the crowd before him, the scribe spoke slowly.

"You, the lord you mentioned, could it be..."

One of the robbers said in a trembling voice, "Speaking of the nightmare of all criminals in Gotham, the name of that being is beyond doubt."

"That's right, it's the one you're thinking of, the great being who rules this city in the shadows, the immortal and incredibly powerful Batman... Einstein!"

I once heard a rumor that Batman Einstein was actually the best detective, but... detectives are a side of criminals, so the best detective is the best criminal.

Gotham City has long since welcomed his Moriarty. The criminal network that truly reigns supreme in Gotham, the one who truly controls everything, will not be the Roman from years ago, nor the infamous Penguin, nor Bane, who once gave that great man some trouble.

In a true sense, the only one who can truly control Gotham is that man, Albert Einstein!

With arms outstretched, the book maker shouted like a fanatic, leaving Batman and Night Owl in silence.

No, are you talking about Batman?

I know the truth about Einstein, but how come I don't know anything about this criminal empire?

"Whoosh! Gotham City is thriving, Bat King!"

"Batman is the one everyone wants!"

"Only that being, that being who is the embodiment of fear, can conquer me!"

At this moment, the group of robbers were somewhat excited, while the scribe placed his left hand on his chest, turned slightly to the side, and said: "Gentlemen, Batman's criminal empire is unstoppable."

Those who do not submit to Batman's existence will only face destruction. At this moment, I have only one sentence to prove my loyalty to that man.

Everything is dedicated to Batman.

The book-maker wasn't embarrassed at all, because he had completely identified himself as Batman.

Doesn't this statement now seem to be equivalent to dedicating everything to oneself?

Honkai Impact 4th Year: Chapter 1713: You're wrong. Moriarty's crimes are laughable in front of Batman!

"Uh, everything is dedicated to Batman?"

Seeing the scene before him, Nightwing subconsciously uttered a sentence.

Of course, it wasn't that he actually believed what this guy in front of him said, or that he thought the guy was sent by Batman, nor did he believe that Batman really intended to create a criminal empire.

I simply found the scene quite amusing and couldn't resist.

The next instant, Nightwing felt a chill run down his spine.

Oh no, Batman's disapproving look.

Nightwing seemed to sense Bruce Wayne's disapproval from his outwardly normal expression.
