Chapter 2 Bang
Crime Alley.
This is the name of this alley.
It is called this because it is located at the back of the "Gotham Grand Theater". It is far away from the road, with almost no lights, and there is no residential area around it. If you scream here, your voice will most likely be covered up by the noise outside the Grand Theater.
It's like a place specially prepared for crime.
Especially after the original site of the "Gotham Theater" was abandoned, it became a place where almost no one would come.
However...it is such a unique place that only one crime has occurred over the years.
It was a midnight many years ago, when it was a gathering place for Gotham Theatre or a gathering place for the upper class. At the end of an opera, a couple, with their eight-year-old children, wanted to cross the place.
They didn't know the name of this alley. If they knew it, they wouldn't have walked in.
But it was too late. When they wanted to turn around and retreat, a robber had already stopped them...
He has a gun in his hand.
Then... he easily took the woman's necklace... the gentleman's wallet... and their lives.
Perhaps it was the only remaining conscience, or perhaps it was the sound of a sirens coming from a distance, the criminal let the child go, he left him in place, stood blankly, watching his parents' blood gather into a bright red river, overflowing his shoes.
That year... I was eight years old.
......
No one knows, I am Bruce Wayne, no one knows, I am that child.
However, this strange phenomenon that has occurred for several consecutive months is undoubtedly to lead me here.
OK, then I'll see who it is and what trick it is.
So, I opened my own sonar system, and a sound wave beyond the human hearing range instantly covered the entire crime lane. This sound wave can allow me to grasp everything around me within two seconds.
Sure enough, I detected three people in the center of the alley.
I hid into the darkness and touched the place silently.
Soon, I heard some sounds, with panic, nervousness, and a little bit of self-blame.
"I know, we don't have time to accompany you, but...but...you can't do this." This is a woman's voice, with a little crying voice.
"Okay, I don't know where you got this thing, but you have to put the gun down, you should be a good boy." A man's voice came over again.
I was hidden high and quietly poked my eyes out of the roof.
Then, I saw a man and a woman standing not far away on the ground, and in front of them were a man with a low head. Since he was facing away from me, I couldn't see his face, but... that figure was undoubtedly a child.
And the child was holding a gun in his hand and aimed at the two adults in front of him.
At this moment, I naturally couldn't hide anymore. That gun could kill those two people at any time.
So I quietly landed on the ground and touched the child along the darkness.
However, at this moment...
"Bang!" The gunshots that appeared in my ears for three consecutive months finally appeared again.
This time, he did not appear in my sonar system, but appeared in front of me in waves.
I watched in surprise as the gun in the child's hand burst out for a moment, and the man opposite him also fell into a pool of blood.
“Ahhhh————”
Then, the familiar woman screamed.
It's exactly the same as in the previous few months.
Of course, I was not only surprised by this, but the moment I shot, I didn't react.
I should have been able to react, my bat dart should be able to knock out the child's gun in time...
Why...I didn't do that?
Well, almost the next second, I stopped considering this because, I was already stunned, and a ridiculous feeling that suffocated me rushed straight from the soles of my feet. With a "buzz", every pore on my body began to spasm.
That child... spoke.
"You have never been with me..."
"You... only know how to do business, only know how to make money."
He said, and then walked towards the woman little by little.
The woman looked extremely scared, so she stepped back and fell to the ground.
At this moment, I finally noticed her face.
I should have kept that face in mind, but over the long years, I have long forgotten her appearance... That woman... is my mother!
And lying on the ground, the man whose suit was completely dyed red...he is my father!
“This…this…this…”
I seem to be in a state of inconsideration. Since I put on this cloak, I have praised myself as a person with extremely powerful spiritual power. I think there is nothing in this world that can shake my heart.
However, at this moment, I became so small that I could only watch the child pushing towards my mother step by step, but I couldn't even move a finger.
finally......
"I hate you..."
The child said the last sentence.
Then—a gunshot with a "bang!", the sound almost exploded in my mind. I buzzed and saw my mother, and fell into a pool of blood again.
"Damn it! This is an illusion! I must be controlled, is it a mad hater? Or did I suck the scarecrow's poison gas?" I told myself desperately that this is all fake, and all this is all illusion.
However...it was at this moment...
The child slowly turned his head and looked at me.
In Gotham's night, my last bit of consciousness was also taken away by him, because I saw his face...not...more precisely, it was my face.
A face that should be lively and innocent, childish, but extremely gloomy, should not appear on the face of an eight-year-old child at all.
"You are escaping..."
Suddenly, the child spoke.
"You...who are you?" I yelled.
However, the child completely ignored my words.
"You are a murderer. When you were eight years old, you killed your parents... There was no robbery at all. It was just that Wayne's consortium made an incident to eliminate the impact of this incident. You deceived yourself and took this fictional statement as reality..."
"No! No! You are lying! Damn, what new brainwashing trick is this! I won't be fooled! It's all fucking fake!"
I continued to yell.
And the child slowly raised the gun in his hand.
"Yes, they are all fake, so you should also... see the real one."
