[Comprehensive British and American] Final strategy achievement

"It sounds like your adopted daughter doesn't care about you at all." Charles frowned, "Do you really treat each other as family?"

Batman fell silent.

"When our relationship was at its most harmonious, we got along like a real family." He said hoarsely, "But I have to admit that we have never opened our hearts to each other."

…

Leona likes to play. Bruce takes her to feed the pigeons, watch movies, and attend banquets. When Dick is not busy at work, he and Alfred will pick her up from school. Tim and Leona go shopping in Gotham together.

Museums, exhibition halls.

Leona will also share her stories with everyone. For example, the school lunch was so bad that she had to sneak over the wall to buy hot dogs from the street to fill her stomach. Some bad students with a family wanted to bully her, but the result was that

Instead, the bullies were taught a lesson by Leona, and the consequence of this incident was that all the students in the school walked around when they saw Leona, and the principal and teachers turned a blind eye.

One eye.

Even when Leona's relationship with Bruce, Dick, and Tim was at its most harmonious, there was an invisible barrier between them.

They accompany each other, they share with each other, but they never reveal their hearts.

To put it bluntly, the fact is that the time they have been together is too short and they have experienced too few things together, which is not enough to support them in establishing a strong emotional connection.

Leona herself didn't think so much. She ate and slept every day. No one in the school dared to make her uncomfortable with her classmates and teachers. When she was happy, she went out to play, and when she wanted to have fun, she was beaten violently during patrol at night.

What could criminal Leona be unhappy about? She lived happily every day - just a little bored.

But when Leona was playing happily, there would always be an old bat staring at her, making her unhappy.

When she was eating and drinking, he would tell her "go do your homework", "go train", "don't skip classes"...

Well, who makes him Leona's guardian? Leona usually takes it upon herself to listen to him when she's in a good mood.

He would say "obey orders", "don't be reckless", "stop your extreme behavior" when Leona's hands were itchy and hit someone...

Leona couldn't bear it anymore. She promised that no one would die, and she kept her promise. So it's not too much to beat the scum, right? The scum just cut off their hands and feet, but Leona sacrificed her.

The source of happiness!

…

"Wait a minute." Charles rubbed his temples, "You mean violence will bring Leona happiness?"

"This is the case in most cases. She likes violence and has no feelings about violence." Batman said, "I thought she was a little special than other children at first, but then I understood that she has the same characteristics as ordinary children.

The fundamental difference. Ordinary children are afraid of blood and violence, but Leona feels nothing about these, as if she is missing some emotional module... She cannot feel fear at all, whether it is other people's fear or her own fear.

She couldn't even feel it, which caused a big problem in her mind."

Charles mused, "Lack of empathy?"

"Not entirely. I am more inclined to think that she is psychopathic... She has a different understanding of the world, which I later learned." Batman said, "One of her character traits is curiosity, and she has a different understanding of the world.

They are full of curiosity about all kinds of things and are very willing to explore these things.”

"This trait is a rare advantage for ordinary children," Charles said.

Batman said slowly: "But this trait will have negative effects on Leona."

…

Going to school, night patrol, training, night patrol, homework, night patrol...

Night patrol is the happiest time of the day for Leona, and the nights in Gotham are intoxicating.

Batman initially did not allow Leona to join the Night Patrol because he thought it was dangerous, but he changed his mind after Leona demonstrated strong enough crisis response capabilities. He promised that as long as Leona fulfilled his mission

If the training is required, he can take her on night patrols.

"Violence may occur at any time in Gotham at night. If you encounter an emergency, you only need to protect yourself and I will solve the problem." Batman said, "Street fighting is not a small matter. If you have not reached the level,

Before my request, you cannot participate in the battle."

Leona rolled her eyes and asked: "Why? I can fight too!"

Batman said seriously: "The group fights you had in school are different from the street fights in Gotham. Although they are both fights, it is a different feeling. Every move of your enemy is to kill you.

, when you fight back, you will also have an uncontrollable desire to kill your opponent. You have to learn to control first, and then fight in actual combat."

Leona became curious after hearing what Batman said.

It was obvious that they were all using violence, but the enemies were different in different situations. How could a fight like this feel different? She decided to experience for herself what it felt like to use violence against criminals on the street.

Leona came to a conclusion after experiencing it.

——There is no difference in feelings between fighting in school and fighting in the street, fighting with students and fighting with criminals!

The reason why she felt that the feeling was no different was because "violence" couldn't touch her at all.

When a person is not touched by violence, how can she really learn to control it and stop it when enough is enough?

The Woking Watson Orphanage is equivalent to Leona's novice village. In the chapter "The Source of Fear", she made a different attempt from other chapters. She found Batman without much effort, and Batman helped her

The boss of the Novice Village was solved, so Leona did not contribute much in the process. She did not kill Williams, nor did she commit any violent acts.

After leaving Novice Village, Leona was adopted by Bruce Wayne. She lived quite comfortably in the Wayne family. Bruce controlled her very strictly, and Leona did not have the opportunity to taste violence.

But once Leona actually used violence, she was out of control.

Violence is like a key to Leona, opening up another side of her.

When Leona tasted violence for the first time, she was thinking——

Oh, it turns out that this is how it feels to beat someone up, it’s not a big deal.

She then proceeds to engage in violence.

The first time Leona crossed the line and killed someone, she was thinking -

Oh, it turns out that this is how it feels to kill someone, it’s not a big deal.

Then she continued killing people.

After the first time, there will be a second time and a third time.

Leona herself knew that she lived in that world with a mentality of exploration and experimentation.

Just like when she went to the supermarket to taste a jam, she thought the jam tasted good and could become a regular condiment on her table in the future, so she bought the jam home.

She beat criminals and felt that the sport of beating criminals was really relaxing and relieving stress, so she decided to beat criminals often in the future.

She killed several people and felt that this act of eradicating the roots would save a lot of trouble, so she decided to leave less trouble for herself from now on.

Leona will judge whether and how to continue only after trying it.

Because of Batman's restraint, Leona's various dangerous attempts were delayed. It wasn't until she exploded due to being overly suppressed that she finally completely released her "evil" side.

This is the reason why she made a decision again after a long time and broke away from the Bat Family to formulate the main line of the game again.

Leona's "evil" nature cannot be easily changed, and she was not the same person as them from the beginning.

It was probably a mistake to have an encounter with them in the first place.

…

"When did she kill someone for the first time?" Charles asked solemnly.

"It was half a year after I adopted her," Batman said.

Charles: "What's the reason?"

"Joker." Batman said in a low voice, "I fell into a trap, was kidnapped by the Joker, and was injected with a toxin. Leona came to save me... She sent me away safely and then turned around and killed the Joker gang.

everyone."

He clearly remembered what Leona said to him before sending him away.

——"I don't want to argue with you, Bruce, but I also don't want to admit my mistake to you again."

Indeed, it is like this every time.

Bruce reprimanded Leona for her willfulness, and Leona pretended to admit her mistake, and then continued to be the same person. As the number of times she admitted her fault increased, the number of their quarrels also increased.

Leona gradually felt that staying in the Wayne family brought her more restraint than the happiness they brought her.

So she left.

"The code name she gave herself was Nightmare, but after the massacre of the Clown Gang, she had a new code name - Butcher." Batman's voice became more depressed, "This is the nickname given to her by people who are afraid of her.

, after that Leona used the codename Butcher."

Butcher, just from this title it can be seen that she must have killed a lot of people.

When she abandoned her former codename, it meant she was officially done with the Bat Family.

"Has she ever hurt an innocent person?" Charles asked.

"As far as I know, no." Batman said.

Not only did she not do so behaviorally, but she also did not do so subjectively. Leona did not think about killing innocent people. But objectively, Leona brought huge turmoil to Gotham, and ordinary people may be indirectly harmed by the turmoil.

"I saw in news reports that Leona controlled the entire Gotham during that time?" Charles asked uncertainly, "Why were the news reports three years ago suppressed? I searched them on the Internet.

Is the part credible?”

"Most of them should be credible. The old news was suppressed mainly because of Gotham politicians, and I also played a part in it. Her story is not suitable for continued dissemination, and Gotham needs stability." Batman said.

When Charles thought about the descriptions in the news reports, he couldn't help but feel a little unimaginable.

Leona assassinated most of Gotham's political leaders within a week, plunging Gotham into complete chaos. Even the mayor of Gotham died in the turmoil.

The people hurriedly elected a new mayor, hoping to stabilize the situation and reorganize the government. As a result, the new mayor died unexpectedly again.

There was another election, and the new mayor still died.

When things got to the end, no one dared to be the mayor.

Gotham was without government leadership for three months.

The reason why this time was not extended further is because Leona left Gotham. With her gone, everything in Gotham could be restored.

Charles leaned on the back of his wheelchair, "You failed to stop her."

"Yes." Batman said.

"Where's the Justice League?" Charles asked doubtfully.

Batman exhaled, as if he didn't want to talk more, "The timing is not coincidental."

Superman has been busy dealing with Lex Luthor for a long time. The new kryptonite weapon developed by Luthor seriously injured Superman. Wonder Woman returned to her hometown and was difficult to contact. The Flash lost control of his speed force and broke the barrier of the universe.

I traveled to other parallel worlds, and I don’t know if he will come back in the year of the monkey - although he has come back now. Green Lantern is in outer space. Green Arrow is basically an ordinary person, and he has no chance of winning against Leona. Cyborg has been in three years

Haven’t joined yet…

In short, the members of the Justice League are unable to help Batman due to various things.

If Leona knew about this, she would tell Batman that this was probably a bug caused by the game field fusion.

The Gotham Game Center is incomplete, but the NPCs inside are unaware that there is a problem with their world. They can only complete the logic chain through various unreliable memories after the universe merges.

For example, Batman attributes the reason why his teammates were unable to help him to bad timing, rather than other weird reasons...

"Actually, your idea is right. What matters is not what Leona did, but why she did it." Batman said calmly, "I want to tell you, did she do this series of things?

The other reason is just for fun."

Charles was stunned, "She..."

"Please listen to me, Professor." Batman said, "Leona is different, and her world view is also different from others. She believes that this world is a game."

"Game?" Charles almost suspected that he had heard wrongly.

"Yes, a game. She regards the world as a game, so everything about her is different. There is an explanation for why she is cold, why she is indifferent to human life, and why she is untouched by violence and killing." Batman stared at Charles' face, "

Because she thinks it’s all false, will humans be touched by false things?”

Charles' expression changed, but in the next moment, his expression actually relaxed.

"My child is not like this. She does not regard the world as fake. She cares about some people and things around her. Although she is very willful, she will care about my thoughts to some extent." He said with an extremely positive tone.

Batman was stunned. For a second, he almost forgot what he was going to say next.

He paused for a long time, collected his emotions, and continued: "You can wait until I finish speaking before making a judgment."

"She likes to set a goal for herself. In her words, it's called the main line of the game... I shouldn't have contacted you so quickly, but I noticed that Leona went to Genosha."

Charles frowned subconsciously.

"I have become accustomed to trying to figure out Leona's thoughts and actions. Every one of her actions has a purpose. She went to Genosha, which means that her next actions must be related to Genosha." Batman said,

"When she was in Gotham, her goal was to become the source of fear in the city...I wonder, if she established a new goal now, what would she do...let mutants rule the world?"

Charles frowned even more tightly, and his tone became suspicious, "You tell me the purpose of these things..."

"It's to make you wary and allow you to stop her when possible." Batman said coldly, "I know you think what I said is fantasy. I will only say it to you once - I promise I will

Everything you say is true."

Charles couldn't clearly see Batman's expression under the mask. He was shrouded in darkness, with a gloomy and depressive aura about him.

"Leona came to Gotham a few days ago, and Superman met her. She was at the Wayne Group banquet. She obviously knew Superman and my two adopted sons. She even had a brief relationship with Superman.

exchange." Batman said, "After this incident, I don't think so at all.

The Leona who was in Gotham three years ago and your daughter Leona are two people - they are absolutely the same person. I don't know why her age has changed, or why she is your daughter,

All I know is that her presence could put a lot of people in danger."

He spoke slowly, "Please think rationally, Professor. Think about what is hidden under the cute appearance of the little girl you raise beside you."

Charles took a deep breath, "The last thing I want to know is what she communicated with Superman when she came to Gotham that day."

Batman was silent for a moment, "Everything else she said is irrelevant. There is only one sentence that I think is important... She said that the main storyline of the previous game has ended, and she will not do the wrong thing again, but in our opinion,

What she's about to do may still be wrong..."

…

"I feel like it's very difficult for him."

After sending Charles away from the port, the Flash sighed with emotion.

Superman said: "Leona didn't show up, so our arrangements today were in vain."

"No, you can never be too careful," Batman said.

The night in Gotham was as gloomy as ever, and the smell of the salty seawater in the port was so strong that it made people feel uncomfortable.

"Wait!" Cyborg, who had been silent in the communication channel, suddenly said, "I have detected space particle fluctuations!"

Batman's muscles suddenly tightened, and he saw a purple-black vortex appear directly opposite him. The vortex expanded rapidly, and a girl wearing a light blue beach skirt jumped out of the vortex.

"Long time no see, Bruce." Leona said with a smile, "You seem to be getting older."

"You..." Batman's expression changed.

"Me?" Leona spun around in a circle, "I've always been here."

She blinked and added: "I listened to the conversation between you and my father from beginning to end."

The author has something to say: Bat Serenity is amazing, he delayed Leona for half a year.

Leona has indeed changed, and that change was brought to her by the artificial intelligence Tony and the two Charles.
