Can you retire today?

Thomas and Martha took a rest in the lounge, and then appeared in everyone's field of vision again.

Thomas nodded slightly to everyone, "Today is my son—Bruce Wayne's birthday, thank you all for coming, and wish you all a happy day." After speaking, Thomas and Martha raised their glasses together.

Bruce said goodbye to Tony and Lex temporarily, and walked towards his parents.

Thomas and Martha looked at their son walking towards them, temporarily suppressed their worries, and smiled at Bruce.

"Boom", "Boom", two gunshots sounded almost simultaneously.

Martha and Thomas fell to the ground, their dresses were stained red with blood, Martha's pearl necklace was broken, and the pearls scattered all over the ground, bouncing and making a "da, da" sound.She tried to look at Bruce again, but she couldn't resist the call of death and closed her eyes.

Bruce was stiff all over, and the scene was chaotic, with all kinds of screams and cursing.Bruce felt that his soul was frozen, and his soul shrank in his body and shouted: "Impossible! Impossible!" Recalling this morning, last night, and even the memory from when he came to this world to the present, Ma The favor of Sarah and Thomas seemed to be in sight, and now, there was nothing.

Various emotions filled his body, joy, reluctance, sadness, resentment, despair, and so on.

"Bruce, my son, the heir of the Wayne family, although you were born in the dark, your future will be bright!" A very long memory suddenly jumped out of his mind, and the word "night" made Bruce dizzy , that is to say, he is not yet 9 years old in a strict sense.

The fate of being 8 years old, he did not escape, what about the fate of becoming Batman?What made me ignore such a big loophole, a very simple word game, but I didn't notice it at all.

His body was trembling slightly, even convulsing a little.He wanted to cry, to shout, to step forward to pick up the scattered pearls, to hug his cold parents... But he just stood there, he felt like the whole world was collapsing, but he just stood there, not daring to take a step forward .

"This is the happiest day in my life." These words slapped him hard like a slap.Can laws really change Gotham?Bruce knows the answer is no, it's just that his past self has been avoiding and deceiving himself.I let my parents dodge the bullets from Crime Alley, but not the shot from fate.

This is the fate of being in Gotham, this is the fate of the Wayne family!

Whose fault is it?Bruce asked himself.

It was my fault.Bruce answered himself.

Batman can lead people to avoid bullets, and he can even fight the gods on earth.But Bruce Wayne can't, he's just an ordinary rich man, he can't do anything, he can't protect anything.More and more regret haunted him, and Bruce felt like he was being dragged into hell.

A warm hug pulled him out of his inner world and interrupted his meltdown just in time.He looked at Alfred, hugged him back, tears escaped his eyes, and wet his clothes.

At this time, the entire venue has been temporarily calmed down with the help of Stark and others.The shooter has been restrained by the bodyguards present. He is a man who looks about 30 years old. He wears the clothes of a banquet waiter, has brown eyes and hair, and looks very inconspicuous.

There were several Gotham celebrities at the banquet, they looked at each other tacitly for a moment, and then looked away.

After the murderer was caught, he didn't make any resistance, lowered his eyelids and said nothing, and then suddenly fell to the ground as if he lost his strength. Several bodyguards guarding him checked and found that he was dead.

Howard Stark took everything into his eyes. After appeasing the scene, he kept his son by his side and forbade him to go to Bruce.

Maria Stark looked at her husband, felt something vaguely, and patted Tony on the shoulder reassuringly.

As one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D., Howard can say without humility that almost nothing in the United States can escape the eyes of S.H.I.E.L.D.But only Gotham, which is an extremely exclusive city.

Here, darkness is everywhere, and the government also wanted to change this place, but finally gave up, because all attempts failed.The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents who were once assigned to Gotham either died or became part of the darkness, and the ways of death were strange.

Howard thought of the most recent time when a small group of SHIELD elite agents were ordered to infiltrate Gotham, but in the end SHIELD only found a corpse with a strange smile on the ground, and a sentence written in blood on the ground exuded strong chemical reagents Taste - "Whysoserious", that scene made the well-informed Howard shudder.

Later, S.H.I.E.L.D. never sent agents to Gotham again. If there was anything related to Gotham, they just sent people to contact people in Gotham and paid some price to get what they wanted.

The huge gang is just the darkness on the surface of this city. All kinds of lunatics, monsters born in the laboratory, any darkness you can think of, there are here, and some are even beyond people's imagination.If it weren't for these people, they wouldn't leave Gotham easily and all kinds of scruples, the government had the idea of ​​nuking here.

Here, justice is not rewarded, but darkness can always be surrounded.The Wayne family is a special existence to this city. The Wayne family existed almost as long as this city existed. They seem to have reached a tacit agreement with some kind of force—you can kill the Wayne family. people, but cannot kill the people of this family.Perhaps it is because of this bloody tacit understanding that the Wayne family has so many generations of Wayne who died inexplicably, but it is also because of this tacit understanding that the Wayne family continues to this day.

For Thomas Wayne's death, Howard had seen some clues from some cryptic news.He also hinted to Thomas Wayne cryptically that he could provide him with some help.Of course, this is not all for friendship, and a large part is for breaking into Gotham.

Howard never gave up on entering Gotham. He thought of Steve Rogers, the former Brooklyn little man and later Captain America Rogers, who said to him, "I can fight for a day". The biggest thing he learned from him was :never give up!

But Thomas Wayne politely turned him down, damn Gotham man, Howard thought.Gotham has a strange allure.It can attract darkness, but it can also retain light.

Although Thomas Wayne rejected him, he also tactfully expressed that if there is any accident, he hoped that he could help him take care of his wife and children, and promised certain benefits.They secretly reached a consensus, but what they didn't expect was that not only Thomas Wayne died, but also Martha Wayne.

Looking at Bruce, who was standing in front of the dead bodies of the Waynes, hugging the butler and crying—the last Wayne, Howard knew that he didn't have to worry about his safety for the time being.However, looking at his son who had been staring there and his wife who looked at him thoughtfully, Howard sighed helplessly.

When James Gordon received the order from his superior, he felt a "thump" in his heart, and immediately called the police to go to the banquet site.

The Wayne couple were killed at their son's birthday party, and the scene was almost full of celebrities from all walks of life. This is a big case.If one is not resolved, there will be big troubles!

Clark Kent, who was still learning to control his super hearing and was beginning to see results, suddenly heard two gunshots.He covered his heart, felt the beating of the heart, and suddenly felt an inexplicable sadness.

The author has something to say:

When writing this chapter, I felt very uncomfortable, feeling like I killed them.

Everyone can guess who killed the Waynes.
