At the end of this maze-like underground hall, Merlin found Batman.

In this not difficult process, there were several pieces of metal in Merlin's pocket. It seems that these immortal "claws" are the strongest fighters that the Owl Court can bring out.

Unfortunately, their weaknesses are as obvious as their strengths. As long as the flaws are caught, for Merlin, who has a variety of arson methods, these dead and powerful warriors are not a threat.

The only worrisome thing is that, judging from the number of claws in this palace, the Owl Court should have produced a staggering number of claws in the past 200 years of concealment, and it is not excluded that they also have " The claw of the "upgrade version".

From the perspective of Gotham, without Merlin’s intervention, Bruce and his Robin and son are destined to suffer a hard battle to settle the owl court that suddenly appeared in the dark.

And, most importantly, until now, Merlin had no idea why this hidden owl court was suddenly aimed at Batman.

Maybe he can get the answer from Bruce.

"Hi."

Merlin walked out of the darkness with his sword on his back. In a prison cage in front of him, Bruce was sitting on a chair. He didn't have too many traces of fighting, no injuries, on his black combat uniform. , Not even obvious scratches.

He doesn't look like he was forcibly locked up.

"It's skyrocketing outside. What are you doing here alone?"

Bruce did not answer.

The expression on his face was a daze, slackness that Merlin had never seen before, and there was a kind of sorrow and despair intertwined, as if he had witnessed something terrible and was defeated by his intellect.

This is very rare.

Although Merlin and Bruce haven't seen each other for more than 10 years, from what Merlin has learned recently, regarding Batman and Bruce's past experience, he should not be a vulnerable person.

A fragile person cannot face the Master Ninja and the Assassin Alliance.

"Hey..."

Merlin stepped forward, crouching in front of Bruce's eyes, reaching for a snap in front of Batman's eyes, he put his hand on Bruce's lap, he asked:

"What's wrong?"

"Merlin, I... I found something related to my parents."

Bruce was like a awakened person. He looked up and looked at Merlin, and he said:

"I'm fine, I just, just don't know how to accept these."

"From your expression, I guess it should not be a warm story."

Merlin says:

"But I want to ask, what do you know from your enemies?"

"Look for yourself."

Bruce handed Merlin the USB flash drive he held in his hand. The latter took the metal gadget and took out the laptop he always carried with him from his pocket. He inserted the USB flash drive into the computer. After a short reading, a video from the picture quality has been opened on the desktop for some years.

The picture captured by the monitor of the closed circuit is not very clear, but it can still be distinguished. It is a place similar to a ward.

A man in an orange jumpsuit is being restrained on a white hospital bed. He should be a prisoner.

Beside him, stood a man wearing a doctor's robe, holding a writing pad and a pen, and observing the situation of the bound patient.

Everything looks normal.

Until ten seconds later, the doctor put down the pen in his hand and picked up a syringe. In the scream that the prisoner monitored, he thrust the syringe into the hanging bottle beside the patient.

Immediately afterwards, a noisy, very unclear conversation came from the picture.

"Sir, this is my latest research. It won’t kill you, but it will make you very painful, it will make you mentally distracted, and it will make you out of control. It’s a terrible process...I am Say, maybe we don’t need to use this."

The doctor said to the patient bound in the hospital bed:

"Maybe, you will tell me everything I want to know before my injection is completed?"

"Damn it! Thomas, you hypocritical villain, let me go, please."

The patient screamed, wailed, and weakly shouted for help, but no one answered him.

"Thomas?"

Merlin paused the video. He looked back at Bruce, who nodded silently.

"It's my father, keep watching."

Confused, Merlin refocused his attention on the video on the monitor. He had never seen Bruce’s parents, but he learned from Bruce and Afu that the impression of the Thomas couple should be a gentle doctor, a compassionate man, a responsible richest man in Gotham, in this turbulent era of the city To spare all people who want to save the city’s suffering.

They should be the classic good guys in the story.

But now, Thomas Wayne in this video seems to... seem to deviate from that inherent image.

Merlin pressed the space bar and the video continued to play.

"It seems that you refused? What a pity."

In the video, Thomas pours the liquid from the syringe in his hand into the hanging bottle with a regretful voice. After a few seconds, the patient bound in the bed begins to struggle frantically. His screaming sound is like being screamed. The trapped beasts are just as miserable.

At the bedside, Thomas looked at his watch and recorded the time. He looked at it indifferently until a few minutes later, when the patient could no longer make a sound, he said again:

"Why? Sir, you should know that this lunatic asylum was made for people like you, and I am the attending doctor here. If I think you will threaten Gotham, then you should never want to go out in your life. I mean, you should be smarter and say what I want."

Thomas, who had always been polite, suddenly reached out at this moment and grabbed the collar of the mortal. He shouted to him with a roaring voice:

"Damn it! Where did you hide the money stolen from me? Say!"

"Thomas, that's a stock. You should know better than me. It's normal to win or lose in the stock market. You can't make money forever!"

The patient seemed to be terrified. He was weak and said in a begging voice:

"I still have some money, I will pay you, don't torture me, please."

"I want my money, my income!"

Thomas said coldly:

"You cheated from me, and every penny you promised will come back to me."

He dropped the patient and stretched his hand to straighten his collar. At this moment, Thomas seemed to return to his gentle manner. He picked up the tablet and pen next to him and said to the patient:

"Give you two more days, sir, I believe that you will make the right choice eventually. Oh, yes, my friend Falconi is trying to talk to your wife about your loss. A lot of money...you and I know how irritable Falconi is, so I hope you think about it carefully."

"Okay, patient, today's treatment is over."

Thomas turned away, he waved his hand:

"We will see you this time tomorrow."

"no, do not want!"

"Uh"

With the horrified howl of the patient, the video ended at this moment.

At the end of this dark hall, Merlin and Bruce fell into unspeakable silence.

After more than ten seconds, Merlin hesitated:

"Maybe, this is their forgery... In terms of current technology, it is not difficult to forge such a thing. They want to defeat your sanity and let you use it for them. They know the biggest nightmare in your heart, so Use this specifically to target you...I mean, Bruce, you shouldn’t believe them so easily."

"I believe the evidence produced by my enemy is a bit stupid."

Merlin's persuasion sounded reasonable, but Bruce did not immediately respond. Instead, he said in a low voice:

"When I was a kid, my father never let me enter his study. He always went out late and would come back in the early morning hours. He was a doctor, and he told me he would treat his patients. Occasionally, he would also Mother quarrels."

"The Falconi family and the Wayne family are both Gotham's ancient families. When I was a kid, I did see Falconi and my father dining together at home."

"That night I went to watch the opera of "Zorro", which was also invited by Falconi and several other ancient families..."

"I’m not stupid enough to believe in the words of the owl court, but Merlin... All the memories, those that were ignored by me, are telling me that this video is real, the man in the video, my father has never been in front of me The exposed side is also true."

Bruce closed his eyes, his voice sullenly said:

"When Lars Al Gore invaded Gotham, he told me that the faith I insisted on came from a lie that was not exposed. He told me that the justice I did was all sad vain. "

"He is right, Merlin."

"My father is not a hero. Under disguise, he hides an evil soul... He is a bad person. When I was not born, he and the Falconi family ruled Gotham’s. Underground kingdom. And I am a fool, I have not been able to break through all this."

"I was encouraged by my father's spirit to fight crime, but all this is a lie. My father is a criminal, and perhaps, his death is also deserved."

"I have been fighting with the encouragement of lies, and I am convinced that I am doing the right thing. But I..."

"enough!"

A loud scream interrupted Bruce's self-complaint.

Merlin unplugged the USB flash drive from the computer, threw it on the ground, and crushed it with one foot.

He looked back at Bruce, he said:

"You are like a mother cannon seeking comfort now. Would you like me to give you a warm hug to cheer you up?"

"Yes, you did have a hard time in your first half of life, but that doesn't mean that everyone else's life was smooth sailing. You know the story of my past, but you don't know, I still have a timing that will explode at any time. Bombs, maybe in the next second, I will be swallowed up by the darkness of the soul roar, and here I will strangle you with my own hands."

Merlin stepped forward, grabbing the collar of Bruce's combat uniform, and lifted him into the air.

At the moment of the attack, a blue spark burst out on Bruce's collar, hitting Merlin's finger. The high-voltage electric shock made Merlin's movement stiff, but it did not let Merlin let go.

He looked at Bruce, looking at his eyes, he said:

"What kind of person your father is, it is not up to you to decide. He is a criminal or a hero, that is the sin he should bear, not yours!"

"Your son is now fighting for you outside, your trusted assistant is fighting for you against a group of undead undead, your lover is trying hard to revive her family in Europe, she is surrounded by wolves, maybe the next moment you You will receive news of her death, and your son will become an orphan. And you? You can help them, but hide in the dark like a crushed soft egg."

"You have family, you have friends, you have a career, you have wealth, hell, you are the darling of destiny, you have everything! And you want to throw it away now, right? Bruce."

"If you don't wake up anymore, I will wake you up by hand, I'm not kidding!"

Bruce, who was lifted in the air, was struggling. This strong man had just shattered the strongest pillar in his will. He needed to find a pillar to support him to move forward and continue to perform great duties.

He looked at Merlin, and he asked hoarsely:

"You have also created disasters with your own hands, you have also walked alone in the lost, your first half of your life has also lived in blood, disasters and deception, Merlin, my friend, how did you survive?"

"who told you that..."

Merlin replied word by word:

"I'm here?"

"boom"

Bruce was thrown on the edge of the cage. In front of him, Merlin moved his fingers. He turned his back and pushed open the door of the cage in front of him. He said:

"Sweet dreams will not be realized here, only nightmares. I can go back to the past every night. You should know that bad memories never dissipate, they live in us."

"But you still have choices. You can be tortured by painful memories. You can also carry the sins that are born of you and move forward until you are crushed."

He looked back at Bruce:

"But even if I was crushed, I would climb to my end. I am now going to help my poor little nephew Demian, who is being bullied by a group of undead crawling out of the grave."

"Will you come?"
