[Comprehensive British and American] HE saves the world

Since there was nothing to ask, and there was no evidence to prove that Nunnally Lampelucci was directly related to the death of Scarecrow Jonathan Crane, after asking a few routine questions, James Gordon and Harvey Bullock Goodbye.

"It's raining heavily outside." With a modest smile on her face, the hostess of the manor turned her head and told the maid beside her, "Send the two police officers away, and don't let them get caught in the rain."

The bland Asian maid nodded, then came over and bowed slightly to the two policemen.

"Come with me, please," she said.

Harvey Bullock whistled a little: "It's really like a rich man."

James Gordon closed the notebook in his hand and stuffed it into the lining pocket of his coat, then he looked up seriously at the young woman in the wheelchair.

"Ms. Lampelucci." He paused for a moment before continuing, "In any case, people should not solve problems by killing people. This will only bring new problems, and it will also make people around you people... feel sad about it."

But the other party was still smiling, that unchanging smile, on that pale and beautiful face, seemed to have solidified into an indestructible mask.

"I understand, Director Gordon." She even nodded very lightly, "Thank you for your kindness. But... the scarecrow committed suicide, didn't it? It's a pity, but at least, the one who is still in the hospital today Mr Inspector... his family will take some comfort."

"I don't deny that." Although Harvey Bullock said so, there was no smile on his face.

This impeccable answer made James Gordon close his eyes. He gently squeezed the center of his brows and sighed almost imperceptibly. left.

After Gordon left, Jason saw Nunnally sitting by the window alone.It was still raining heavily outside the window, so she raised her hand and gently placed it on the glass.The slender right hand was quietly placed on the glass covered with water mist like that, showing a shocking paleness under the reflection of the dim skylight and lead gray dark clouds outside the window.

She was silent for a long time, just looking out of the window like that, Jason didn't know what she was looking at and what she was thinking.

But he could see that there was something heavier in that silence than all words.

With a hand on his shoulder, Jason turned his head and saw Sakiko shook his head slightly at him, so he fell silent and left with her.

Before he left, he turned his head and took a last look. The slender figure was still sitting in front of the window, staring at the endless rainstorm outside the window for a long time.

……

……

……

It was raining heavily.There was a thin layer of mist on the glass windows.The scenery outside the window becomes extraordinarily hazy, like a water-bleached watercolor painting.

A dark figure covered the scenery outside the window, and the young woman saw the man's reflection on the glass, standing silently behind her.

Silence spread between them.

Bruce Wayne stared silently at the woman's face reflected in the glass.Such a blurred and pale face.

He had a lot of things he wanted to ask her, and a lot of things he wanted to say to her. Countless messy thoughts were mixed in his mind, making the brain, which had always been known for its calmness and rationality, full of chaotic noises at this moment.

And what he finally said was——

"—You killed Klein."

That's not an interrogative sentence.

The woman neither admitted nor denied, but asked him calmly.

"Why do you think so?"

"I once asked a dream thief to teach me how to close my dreams, how to train my subconscious projection, and prevent intruders from reaching the deepest part of my subconscious and stealing my thoughts and memories. At that time, he told me a secret .”

Bruce Wayne recalled what the Dream Thief had told him, and closed his eyes silently.

"He told me that one can plant a thought in another person's dream. That thought, or that thought, can be the most trivial thought, but it will be implanted deeply in the subconscious of the other person from then on. Among them, it becomes a deep-rooted idea. As a result, the other party can do behaviors that are inconceivable to others, but still think that it is his own heart."

"So?" Nunnally asked calmly.

"And your ability is spiritual contact." He didn't know why his voice still sounded so steady, "It is easy for you now to enter other people's subconscious and dreams. Although I don't know what you are I found out that you can plant thoughts in the other person's dream, but I think that as long as the conditions are met, you can enter Klein's dream world and put down a suicidal idea in his subconscious."

The world's number one detective paused for a long time before continuing.

"During the previous dream and sleepwalking, I found that the key to your ability to enter other people's dream world is to have direct physical contact with the other party. Just like you have to go through physical contact to read other people's thoughts, that is your ability Conditions for activation."

That's why she went to Arkham to meet Klein, and shook his hand when she said goodbye.

Then, just last night, while he was deep in sleep, she went to the scarecrow's dream and planted an idea in it.

"What did you put?"

"Fear." There was no fluctuation in her voice, and she had no intention of lying in front of him, "I let go of fear in his subconscious. Doesn't he like to release fear gas on others? I'll let him experience it for himself. The feeling of being in constant fear."

So the Scarecrow became confused.Reality had suddenly turned into nightmare, and the only way he could escape from it was to literally knock his brain out.

Bruce was silent for a long time before finally asking the question.

"why?"

The question drew a very short sneer from his lover.Subtle, imperceptible, unspeakable laughter.That smile cut across his ears like a blade, leaving a long and deep bloodstain.

"I've just had enough," she said softly. "I don't want to take it any longer."

Her fingers pressed against the glass were pale, and she could even see blue blood vessels throbbing under the skin.

"You did everything you could for this city, you caught those guys time and time again and threw them in Blackgate and Arkham Asylum, though you never told me what you did , but Bruce, I have been watching you. I can see clearly what they have done to you. The wound here is left by the killer crocodile, and the wound there is left by the clown. How many times have you used fear gas on you? Bruce... how do you think I watched you being tortured by them and didn't want to kill them?"

Her slender shoulders trembled, and she lowered her head as if she could no longer support it, pressing her forehead against the cold glass.

At this moment, the mask that Nunnally Lampelucci had been wearing all this time finally fell to the ground.

"...Seven years, Bruce."

They have been together for seven years.

For seven years, she had watched him hurt, and he had come back to her so tired and miserable.

She hid her true feelings, concealed her worries, her pain, and only showed that innocent and sweet smile to him, and only uttered those funny and gentle words to him.She just waited here quietly, creating a safe and comfortable home for him, a haven where he could relax and rest.

She deliberately didn't inquire about Batman's life, she kept herself in the safe zone he wanted, and she used her own way to protect Bruce Wayne... Because she did it so naturally, no one realized it, thinking How difficult it is to do all this.

Even Bruce didn't think—or he avoided thinking—how she was looking at him.

Watching him running in the dark night of Gotham, watching him get injured again and again, disappointed again and again.

"When's the last time we had an argument, Bruce? Yeah, the time the Joker almost killed Dick, he shot Dick and made Dick fall from the sky... that one freaked you out so you brutally Get rid of Dick, you say Batman doesn't need Robin, and I say you can't do that to him. We had such a fight, it scared Dick. But you know it's not Dick's fault, It's not your fault, it's not my fault. It's just the clown's fault."

Her voice was slightly trembling with emotion, she finally withdrew her hand, covered her face, and let out a series of intermittent, choked-up laughter.

"It's not just the clown... how many times has the Scarecrow been sent to Arkham by you, do you remember, Bruce? But he won't be punished, neither will they."

She laughed so hard she was shaking.

"There's no death penalty in Gotham. The corrupt judiciary can't do anything about them. Neither Blackgate nor Arkham Asylum actually have enough capacity. Nothing stops these heinous criminals except death - so next time Scarecrow He will still escape from prison, and he will continue to hurt you. Using even more terrifying methods, more terrifying poison gas."

Those slender hands slid down from his face, clasped his shoulders, clasped tightly, as if trying to restrain those uncontrollable trembling.

"You almost went crazy this time, Bruce." Her voice dropped. "This time I used my ability to dispel the effect of the fear gas—but what about next time? What if I can't do it? "

She turned her head slowly, and looked at her lover with a distorted and miserable smile.

"So you said, Bruce..." she asked softly, "how could I not want to kill him?"

"…………"

Bruce Wayne was as silent as a cast iron statue.

She took a deep breath, stopped talking, and after a while, she slowly smiled, and slowly extended her hands to him.

"Are you going to arrest me now, Batman?"

"……………………"

Bruce Wayne was silent, and suddenly reached out and hugged her.

He hugged her so hard, as if he wanted to embed her in his arms, so hard that she felt pain.The pain of bones touching each other caused the two of them to close their eyes at the same time, and then, as if they could no longer bear the weight, tears finally fell from her eyes and hit his shoulder hotly, arousing even more pain. for intense pain.

In this world, nothing can make people feel happier than love, and nothing can make people feel more miserable than love.

It is precisely because they love each other that they consider each other.will care about each other.Only then will you feel pain for the other person's pain.

In this moment, his pain became hers and hers his.Like mirrors reflecting each other, their pain is reflected into each other's hearts, creating a kaleidoscope-like cycle with no exit.

This pain burned their souls endlessly - because she knew it would become like this, she never wanted him to know.

However, she finally couldn't bear it any longer.

"sorry."

Bruce Wayne whispered in her ear.His tone of voice was so complex that even a brilliant graduate of the Department of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania couldn't tell what he was apologizing for.

But he never let go of her arm.

So in the end, she slowly raised her arms and hugged the man back.

Love is so painful.

But why?

People still can't let go in the end.

The author has something to say:

Chapter synopsis from HaveYouEverSeenTheRain by CreedenceClearwaterRevival

The ED of the first episode of the first season of the American drama "Cold Case" is the American drama of the Philadelphia Police Department at the beginning of the second volume. I have always liked the setting of this American drama. It fits the theme, and it is the popular hits of the year when the murder of the deceased occurred in the episode. Many of them are very pleasant to listen to and fit the atmosphere.I beg everyone to watch it!

In fact, I read the comics and think that Batman's reaction to the murder of the people around him is more...how should I put it...he will try his best to stop the other party before the murder, but he will not say anything after the other party kills.There are quite a few people who kill for him, such as Angel of Death, such as Red Hood, such as Damian...

I have to talk about Damian, a criminal tortured Batman in front of Damian, and then said that he would kill Batman when he came out, Damian looked back at his father and said nothing He stabbed the opponent to death with a finger, didn't Bruce say nothing, and finally hugged him "Daddy loves you".

Take a step back and talk about Jason... Don't just remember the OOC plot where the new extrajudicial Batman beat up the red hood and tore up the bat logo because Jason's headshot penguin was shot.In fact, when Jason returned under the red hood, he did not kill less, and the old outlaws did not kill less at the beginning, and then Batman vouched for the outlaws (Jason, Starfire, Roy) in the Justice League. , Don't let the Justice League trouble Jason and the others.

In fact, you can refer to Batman's attitude towards this matter in the first film of Nolan's trilogy, his attitude towards Lars, he didn't kill Lars, but he left Lars alone in the fallen in the train.He's really not as... passionate about saving the lives of criminals as many people think. (Don't mention Injustice to me, the comics of Injustice really blew me away)

He will not turn against Nunnally or sever ties with her just because she killed the Scarecrow.
