Sitting in Thomas Elliott's office chair, Bruce looked at the medical record that represented the Riddler, and for a moment he couldn't accept it. With his knowledge, he can naturally understand what this medical record in the Riddler represents, the kind of terminal illness, the kind that has no cure, to be precise, cannot be cured by conventional medical means, but it does not mean that there is no other way, but why did this medical record appear on Thomas Elliott's desk.

"Don't say that, friend, there are more patients than you have a bad reputation." ①

Bruce couldn't help but flash in his mind what Thomas Elliott had said to him when he was in the hospital before, and at this time, he understood what this sentence meant. Not only that, but while obtaining this medical record, Bruce also saw another document, about Arkham Asylum, which was a rotating schedule of doctors in Arkham Asylum, also in Thomas Elliott's office.

This also means that if someone wants to infiltrate Arkham Asylum and bring someone out, they can use this schedule to know the day's rotation information and make arrangements. When these two documents were put together, Bruce could basically sketch out a complete plan in his mind, but he always felt that something was missing from this plan.

Just then, the phone he had kept in his pocket to communicate with Alfred rang.

"Alfred, what's going on."

"I hope you've found something in Dr. Thomas Elliott's office, sir."

"Yes, I have."

"Then you may be busy tonight, the situation that came back through the street camera just now, at the sewer entrance of the first street on Central Street, the traces of unknown people's activities have been detected, there is a person in it, you will be very interested."

"Who."

"Bane."

When Bane's name rang on the other end of the phone, Bruce couldn't help but narrow his eyes, knowing that this must be an action authorized by Silence, and without thinking much, he remembered the information found in Thomas Elliott's office, and left through the window.

Ten minutes later, Batman, dressed in his suit and cape, also appeared at the sewer drain that Alfred had just provided for Bane's operation. Looking at this deep sewer mouth, and the constant smashing and robbery in the dark night of Gotham at this time, there is a bit of a demon cave, but Batman, who needs to know the truth, also walked in so fearlessly and began to track Bane and his party.

Outside, Curwen, who stepped into Thomas Elliott's calculations and was temporarily kicked out, sat cross-legged on the building at this time, with his favorite Vita lemon tea on the side, admiring the scene that only exists in Gotham.

In Gotham now, rich people don't dare to appear on the street at will, for fear that a guy will suddenly rush out of the street and kill himself with a gun. And the citizens of Gotham, who have been infected with the virus and have not yet received an explanation, have also begun to gradually lose their minds, this state of not knowing anything, but being able to feel the continuous decline of bodily functions, is enough to drive them crazy, death is not terrible, what is terrible is not knowing anything, nothing can be done, waiting for the process of death coming.

In this state, people are either steadfast or lose their minds, and since I'm not happy, you people who don't do anything, don't think about it. The darkness of people's hearts has become more obvious in the city of Gotham, which has also caused the city of Gotham to fall into such a chaotic cycle, they began to do what they once thought but did not dare to do, although only a part of the people, and the police as the maintainers of order, maintaining this last line.

But as time goes by, slowly, it will spread like a plague throughout the city. Cowen, on the other hand, sat on the building, watching everything that happened in Gotham like this, and did nothing.

"Is this another test, the darkness of the human heart, in Gotham the city is really blessed, but okay, let's take a gamble, let's see what the depths of the darkness will bring."

Drinking the Vita lemon tea in his hand, Curvin was also there, saying this to Dr. Manhattan, who was watching all this from nowhere.

Inside the sewers, Batman approaches Bane and his party according to Alfred's route and his own tracking experience. At the same time, in the Batcave, because of the attack of the alien single wind, Dick did not follow Batman this time, but with Damien, Raven, Helena and other family members are fighting fires around Gotham City.

As conflicts erupt and Gotham becomes a sin city, they work with the police as the last line of defense to protect Gotham's order.

As for the security inside the Bat Cave, in addition to the old butler Alfred, there are also the returning Catwoman and Damian's mother, Talia, who are responsible for guarding the security inside the Bat Cave.

"I thought you were staying out and not coming back, how about it, how is it going to visit relatives in Nandarbat this time?"

Catwoman in uniform asked as she mixed coffee and handed a cup to Talia, who had just returned.

"It's not good, the League of Assassins is gone, but I've found something." Taking the coffee from Catwoman, Talia consciously handed Alfred a cup and said there.

"There's a problem with Lhasa Luchi, isn't it, Talia?"

Just as Talia was about to inform Catwoman about what had happened to Nandarbat's Assassin League headquarters, Batman's words came through the microphone and he spoke.

The hand drinking the coffee paused slightly, and Talia didn't expect her lover to guess the problem so quickly

"Yes, part of Lhasalus Pool has been stolen, and according to the information I have received, I'm afraid my father's men are also in Gotham, and Bane was trained in the Assassin League, so he really doesn't need our help, my love. But how do you know it's Lhasa Luchi that has a problem? ”

"No, stay in the bat cave, I don't want any of you to get hurt, I can handle it. As for why there is a problem in Lhasalus, I also deduced it through the information I just obtained, and because of this, you can stay in the bat cave to ensure your safety to the greatest extent, I...

Before Batman could finish speaking, he directly cut off contact, and this sudden situation also alerted Catwoman and Talia. And Alfred, who is in charge of maintaining communications, also understands the problem, "Something is blocking the communication, it seems that Lord Wayne has approached Bane's location, it should be the base camp." ”

"Wait, Alfred, trouble narrowing Bruce's route, I've always felt a little strange about it."

Because of Batman's sudden disappearance, Catwoman also noticed that Batman's travel path at this time was a little weird, and also said to Alfred. The old butler didn't say anything, and after reducing the location of Batman at this time in equal proportions, he also noticed the problem. Because the route that Batman traveled at this time was in the underground water network of the Wayne Enterprise Building, it was not surprising that Bain's so-called base camp was under the Wayne Enterprise Building.

When they saw this diagram, both Catwoman and Talia understood the seriousness of the matter.

"No, Talia, we need to help Bruce, Alfred, contact Diana and tell her to come back quickly, we... Boom! ”

The rescue operation was determined as soon as possible, and Catwoman and Talia were ready to rescue their lover, before they could take the transportation in the bat cave. A shocking explosion occurred in the bat cave, and the explosion that occurred from the exit of the bat cave directly lifted the group away, and they lost consciousness in the explosion and dust.

On the other side, Batman, who was approaching Bane's base camp in the underground waterways, also noticed that he had entered a certain signal shielded area, and when he didn't hear the response from the Batcave. But at this time, he couldn't choose to retreat, he was already so close to Bane's base camp, he had no reason to give up halfway, with confidence in his skills, Batman continued to move forward.

Soon, he entered another world from a dimly lit underground tunnel, with lights hanging on the walls everywhere, turning the dim underground world into daylight. At the same time, the vigilance of five steps and one post and ten steps and one sentry also made Batman understand that he had indeed entered the base camp of Bane and his party, whether it was silence or the Joker, they would be here.

Then, the answer is very simple, what he has to do is to sneak in and get everything he wants to know!

With his familiarity with the terrain of this network of sewers, Batman can always find a blind spot to easily avoid patrols, even with a prop like a searchlight that turns a dark environment into daylight. Moreover, he also showed his ability to graduate from the Assassin League, a professional school for killers, every time he appeared in front of these guards, he was silent, and with a wave of his black cloak, a person disappeared on the patrol route.

And the companions in front of him, or behind him, simply didn't notice the abnormality of their teammates, and the patrol officers decreased one by one. By the time they noticed that something was wrong, there was no room to fight back, and Batman suddenly appeared, and just before they could warn them and draw their guns to attack, Batman had already used his superb fighting skills to put down these mercenaries.

Without making a sound, I easily brought down the patrol officers on the periphery to the ground, and easily completed the achievement of bringing down everyone who could see me.

Before Batman was ready to continue moving forward, the sound of the gate falling sounded in this underground world, and several falling gates sealed all the routes for Batman to move forward and retreat, and the searchlights were all shining at an angle, so that Batman had nothing to hide in the dark, and this underground world, in this environment, became an alternative Colosseum.

In such a Colosseum, Bane's tall figure also walked out from opposite Batman.

"Superb fighting skills, perfect stealth, good at using dark environment combat methods, your fighting style is like art, every time I watch it, I have to give you a thumbs up, Batman, worthy of being the person most valued by the ninja master."

"Bane!"

When he saw Bane appear in front of him, Batman also understood that he was careless after all, and he still stepped into Bane's trap. This mercenary, who has fought with him a few times and can get out of it every time, does not seem to be as simple as he imagined.

"It's down here, I know what you're here for, and I know what you're thinking right now, but if you run away, I can guarantee that you'll never find the truth you want to know."

"The truth about what."

"Why Thomas Elliott is dying, and what is from the trials of the past."

With these two sentences, Batman also suppressed all the thoughts in his heart, because Bane grasped his own point, and the purpose of his coming here was to explore the truth, and at this moment the truth was in front of him, one step away.

"Very well, then, for the sake of fairness, come on, use the tricks we learned from the League of Assassins to recruit who is the real Assassin."

Seeing that Batman was not ready to retreat, Bane also showed his sincerity for him, and the sound behind him sounded. The auxiliary spine that was originally fixed to his spine and used to inject the poison was detached from Bane's back. Like a black iron centipede, while falling off, it also took away part of Bane's flesh and blood, this pain, even Bane, couldn't get through it without saying a word.

With a beastly roar, Bane casually set the auxiliary spine aside and opened his hands towards Batman.

"Now, I'm just me, Batman."

After Bane gave up his most powerful advantage, Batman no longer had any scruples, and under the gaze of Bane's men, he also rushed towards Bane. As Bane said, he applied all the techniques he had learned from the Assassin League to Bane, but Bane, a notorious mercenary, had also studied in the Assassin League, although he was kicked out by the Master Ninja.

But it can't be hindered that he is also a genius, especially now, without such a side effect as the fierce poison potion, he is more dangerous.

The same temptation, the same block, the same killer move, the battle between Batman and Bane is like facing a mirror. Each other is the most exquisite fighting master, any slight movement, can become a weakness used by each other to grasp, or it may be a trap used to lure each other to move, this time, Batman also finally felt the difficulty of Bane, which is different from the previous injection of fierce poison, by increasing his strength, speed to deal with his own Bane.

Every move and every move he made made Batman have to deal with it with his heart.

After the attack was over again, Bane kept his attack and teased at Batman, who was considered a brother in the same class.

"It's all taught by the same master, you can't break the trick, Batman, it looks like it's a little difficult for you to know something from my mouth."

Batman was speechless, but rushed up again, gliding and kicking with his most classic cape. But such an obvious trick is easy for Bane to block, while catching Batman's move, Bane also hit Batman's move towards the empty flaw, and the casserole-sized iron fist was imprinted on Batman's ribs, and a mouthful of red blood also spit out of Batman's mouth, directly blindfolding Bane.

Instantly lost his vision, so that the movements in Bane's hands were deformed, and at the same time, Batman also used this off-the-board move to seize the opportunity to start a fierce attack on Bane, one punch, two punches, each blow was enough to hit Bane with an adult's downed attack, just to make him retreat, but nothing could make him fall, and Batman's set of combination punches was almost when he was about to fight, Bane, who was constantly retreating, suddenly stopped his pace, turned around and slammed, and the fist hammered into Batman's head.

The heavy blow to the head directly interrupted Batman's attack, and his footsteps began to stagger and keep retreating, his vision began to blur, and Bane in front of him also appeared ghosted.

Wiping the blood from his eyes at will, Bane stepped forward without hurry.

"Interesting off-the-shelf tricks, using blinding, is this the little trick you use a lot, Batman? You're in a hurry. Losing a friend makes you so impatient? Are you so sure Thomas Elliott must be a good guy? Presumably, you've found a lot of little secrets in his office, huh? ”

"Ahh

Bane's rhetorical question made Batman let out a roar, and he naturally understood what Bane was talking about, and he was telling himself. His friend, who grew up with him, may not be a good person as he imagined, and goodness is just a mask he uses to confuse and disguise himself. But the emergence of this kind of thought made Batman feel that his friend was insulted, or rather, he was insulted, and he would feel sad for such a person.

The roar made Batman cheer up and attack Bane, but such a distracted attack was full of flaws for Bane. Easily catch Batman's attack, the fist in his hand also hit a part of Batman's body, fast, accurate, ruthless, the force of each blow is constantly increasing, continue to attack the attack of one part, even if Batman is wearing armor, it is useless, under Bane's attack, he vomited blood directly and fell to the ground.

Batman, who fell to the ground and distanced himself from Bane, also threw out the batmang, and the batrang with smoke swirled around Bane, but was knocked out by Bane one by one.

"By this little trick?" While knocking out the batrang, Bane stepped forward, grabbed Batman's hand, and slammed into the railing to the side, breaking the arm blade of his hand armor. At the same time, Batman also seized this opportunity and flipped the switch of the universal belt on his waist, and the searchlight that originally illuminated the Colosseum into a daylight lost its light, and the entire underground world became dark again, and Batman, who was in Bane's hands, also took the opportunity to break free, adjust his breathing, and hide in the dark.

"Dark, funny, I think when you were in the League of Assassins, Master Ninja told you that you have to learn to use the darkness. But I'm sorry, I was born in the dark! ”

With Bane's words, Batman, who was going to attack Bane from the side, was restrained by him again, and the originally dark environment turned into daylight again, and Batman lost all opportunities to fight back. The fist slammed into Batman's abdomen, and with a single punch, it almost made Batman breathless, and with this advantage, Bane held Batman high above his head, making it impossible for him to break free from his grasp.

"You've lost, Batman, and as the end of this battle of beasts, I'll tell you the so-called truth for free. The so-called past trials are your family history, it is not as glamorous as you think, including your parents, and Thomas Elliott, he is just an overly curious guy, just in the way, we will just kill, look at the top of your head, this will be the first step to break your body and mind. ”

Batman, who was still conscious, looked at the top, and the explosives that had been installed long ago also exploded at this moment, blasting the clods of dirt above his head, revealing lights and various equipment. This is the Department of Military Science and Technology of Wayne Enterprises, but now, it is no more.

"Thank you Wayne Enterprises for everything, the people of Gotham City will use these hands to destroy their city, themselves, but not until then."

Feeling the sudden increase in force in his spine, Batman also seemed to be able to sense what he was going to do, but he couldn't break free, and could only let Bane smash his overhead self into his knees.

A crisp bone cracking sound sounded, and Batman also felt his lower limbs lose control and fell to the ground. Throwing Batman aside at will, Bane looked at Batman who had lost his combat power, and the blood in his heart couldn't help but accelerate, he did it, he overcame the fear in his heart, since he was humiliated at the hands of Cowen, a guy who copied Batman's armor and called himself Arkham Knight.

Bane also has a shadow in his heart, and this is the terrible thing about fear gas, which heals the nervous fear effect, but it does not mean that the fear left in the psyche can be eliminated. And just now, he successfully defeated Batman and eliminated the fear rooted in his heart, and this joy made him can't help but roar in this underground world.

The repeated blows made Batman gradually lose consciousness, and Bane just crouched in front of him and said such things.

"Don't be nervous, we won't let you die so soon, your body and mind haven't really been defeated yet, you can still look up, look ahead, there are surprises waiting for you."

Looking up at Bane's words, Batman also saw such a scene, silent, the Joker just walked over from the corridor, and on them, his two lovers, Catwoman Selena Kyle, and Talia were carried by them, and the leader who walked towards him was the alien single blast who killed his friend Thomas Elliott.

What he fears the most has happened, and he has been constantly and deliberately staying away from the people around him who care about him, just to protect them. But when he learned to accept and wanted to maintain this beauty, he was ruthlessly destroyed by the curse engraved in his fate, and everything developed in the direction he least wanted to see.

"Get some sleep, Batboy, when you wake up, let's have a good talk, haha, hahaha!"

Very gently, he put the unconscious Catwoman and Talia next to Batman, and with a maniacal laugh, the Joker also stepped on Batman's face, causing him to lose consciousness completely.
