I'm the villain in Gotham

"Master Bruce," Alfred stood next to the Batcomputer, watching Batman jump off the Batmobile and strode here: "It seems that your mission tonight is not going well?"

"Eberister is gone, I'm going to be late." Batman frowned, put an anticoagulant bottle on the shelf on the table, and sat down in front of the computer: "But fortunately, I'm sure he has been there before." His safe house, maybe we can find some clues from the surveillance.”

Alfred moved his gaze to the half tube of red liquid in the anticoagulant bottle: "This is..."

"His blood." Batman said succinctly: "His DNA may come in handy, and it happens that we can also use it to determine whether he and the night crow are the same species."

While talking, he turned on the monitoring and called up the camera installed in the safe house.While doing this, he took off the hood and rubbed his forehead unconsciously.

Realizing that he had actually been busy all day, the old butler said empathetically, "Do you need something, Master Bruce?"

"Coffee, thanks, Fu," Batman said. "It's only half the night, and I don't think I'll be able to go to sleep."

"Then you will use the daytime to make up for it. It's a brilliant idea." Alfred sighed, turned and walked out of the bat cave: "I hope you remember that you haven't eaten today, and I will prepare a dinner for you as soon as possible .”

The door connecting the Batcave and the living room was closed, and Batman tapped a few times on the Batcomputer to find out when Erberist left the abandoned chemical plant tonight.

Sure enough, the next moment, Erberist appeared in the camera.

He didn't look in good shape, Batman thought, and since he couldn't be sure how badly that dagger would affect Urberist, he didn't hold back at the time.As long as it can make him incapacitated, Batman will naturally treat his wounds after controlling him. He took some magic props from Zatanna and prepared a lot of special effects.

Batman glanced at the utility belts around his waist, but unfortunately they were out of use now.

But what happened afterwards was beyond Batman's expectations. Several twisted tentacles appeared on Erberister's body. Even if he just looked at them through the screen, they made Batman instinctively disgusted.

The tentacles didn't seem to belong to Urberister, more like some kind of evil parasite on him.They flocked to Erberister's body, twisted and bound his limbs tightly,

It wrapped around his neck like a rope, making him gasp in pain.Soon, they seemed to have found the source of their excitement, and swarmed towards the wound on his chest, greedily sucking his blood.

After the tentacles appeared, Erberist quickly fell into a semi-comatose state. Even though he was wearing a mask, Batman could easily find that he was in a very painful state. Perhaps those tentacles made him see some illusions , he began to moan faintly.

In order not to miss any important clue, Batman adjusted his voice, tapping a few keys on the keyboard with his fingers to remove the noise.

But the result disappointed him, it was nothing more than meaningless murmurs, vague begging for mercy, barely audible sobbing.Erberist looked painful and helpless, Batman frowned, wondering which memory or nightmare he was stuck in, but these had nothing to do with what he wanted.Batman finished reading it in silence, without thinking about it.

After that, another mage appeared in the safe house. Batman cut off his image and imported it into the computer, preparing to create a new file for this unknown mage.

They seemed to be on good terms, and the mage almost caught himself in the tentacles when he helped Erberister free himself, and together they killed it - most of it.

Batman focused on recording the mage's fighting style, and planned to add it to his file.There was nothing to mention at first, but when the mage awakened Erberister from the phantom, Batman was a little concerned about something he said:

"You have persisted for so many years, don't fall short because of this."

It sounds like Urberister has some mission to accomplish on Earth, and Batman silently added this point to his information bank, which may explain why Urberist, a powerful magical creature, is on Earth.

After temporarily banishing those unsavory things, the mage expressed concern and anger at the wound on Erberist's chest.But the next words made Batman stunned: "You just got a hole in your stomach, and now someone stabbed you in the chest again?"

What's the meaning?Batman frowned, shifting his gaze to Erberist's scaled, leather-covered belly.He was injured before, when?

This unexpected fact made Batman faintly uneasy, he unconsciously frowned, and continued to read.

Erberister seemed unwilling to mention the source of the chest wound to the mage—think about it, he probably hasn't left yet

Feeling overwhelmed by being life-threatening, or angry at being stabbed by a puny human being, is understandable.

Then they talked about where those tentacles on him came from:

"When I came to Gotham, I met a cultist. He kidnapped a girl and wanted to sacrifice her as a sacrifice to the evil god in his mouth."

"In retaliation for taking that girl away, he cast a spell on me with his own soul."

"Four men were dead when I came."

"I found a statue underground, which seems to be an important prop needed for the summoning ceremony."

Batman was still sitting on the chair at first, tapping his fingers on the table unconsciously.Later, the movement of his hands stopped, his blue eyes were fixed on the screen, astonishment and disbelief welled up in his heart.

If Urberister hadn't lied to his mage friend—

Doesn't the meaning of these words show that I wrongly blamed him?

He didn't kill the four robbers and the school bus driver, who was the one who did everything.He used four robbers to hijack Lixia and wanted to sacrifice her to a certain god, and then after the robbers helped him achieve his goal, he used magic to kill them and drew a greeting with their blood The magic circle of the gods, which explained Batman's doubts about the abnormal blood volume on the ground.

And Erberist, not only did not kill anyone, on the contrary, he was the one who was hurt.He just happened to appear there, and when he rescued Lixia, he was revenged by the cult/cultist, and was forced to fall into an unprovoked nightmare.

Batman frowned, feeling a little regretful.

He was indeed a little reckless at the time. After he had already determined that Öberist was related to the robbers, he took it for granted that Öberist was responsible for the deaths of the five people, and the situation at the time did not allow him to do so. More verification.The chance to meet Erberist is too rare, and the damage he's done to Gotham during this time is too great for Batman to pass up.

However, he saved the girl... Batman thinks something is wrong, Gordon said that the person who sent Lixia home left a black feather, which should be...

Without waiting for him to think about it, the conversation between Rie Berist and the mage in the video is still going on:

"Follow me back to the temple. I told you that your injury is still not healed. This time you will stay there for more than a month."

The meaning of this sentence is that Erberist is recuperating in a place called the Temple because of his abdominal injury.

more than a month?For a magical creature like him, the injury must have been serious.but why?Even monsters like the Immortal Lizard couldn't hit him hard, so what kind of enemy did he encounter?

And, more importantly, if this happened in Gotham - why didn't he know about it?

Batman's forehead began to pulsate, and he always felt as if there was something important that he had overlooked, which was related to some facts and truths that he didn't know yet.With these questions in mind, Batman turned his attention to the screen again. Perhaps this video can bring him more clues.

Erberist rejected the mage's proposal to go back to the temple to recuperate. There seemed to be something he didn't want to see for the time being. At the same time, he also mentioned the agreement with the mage.

Could this be why he came to Earth?

Batman thought quietly, and decided to ask Zatanna about the origin of this mage after watching this video.

Because of the mage's proposal to return to the temple, Erberist was depressed and seemed very negative.The mage seemed annoyed by his attitude, and Batman was completely surprised and shocked by what he said in a hurry.

"When will you be able to open your eyes and see that what you have done has long exceeded the scope of the agreement. I asked you to save the mutants while also caring about their mental health? I asked you to enlighten Superman's knot? Or me? Let you save the earth?"

This passage greatly exceeded Batman's expectations. He didn't know when he stood up from the chair, his eyes fixed on the monitoring interface on the Bat computer, and his fingers on the keyboard unconsciously clenched.

This video was actually not long. At the end, Erberist found the camera that he had placed in the gap of the sofa. This safe house is likely to be abandoned by him. It will be difficult for Batman to find such a convenient place to monitor him in the future. .

But now Batman doesn't care about that.He was stiff all over, thinking about the amount of information that came out of this video, which was only a few minutes long.

If everything Erberist and the mage revealed was true—and in fact the chances of them being fake were almost nil—no one would lie to a friend who knew everything while in a private space.But if what they're saying is true, then putting the information together, it's—

Erberist suffered a penetrating wound to the abdomen and spent more than a month recuperating at the Temple.

He has saved mutants, enlightened Superman's heart knot, and saved the earth.

etc.

Saved the girl who was about to be sacrificed.

All this felt strange to Erberist.In his impression, Erberist is proud, self-centered, aloof, and takes pleasure in human suffering. Batman can hardly imagine him hugging a child tenderly.

But at the same time, Batman is very familiar with these deeds.There was a man who stopped the army of alien invaders in outer space, and was pierced through the abdomen by the enemy. He was seriously injured and almost died. For this reason, he had to disappear and recuperate silently for more than a month before he came out to worry about him. My friends say hello.

He is a friend of Superman, who has resolved many times of crisis and fire, and has played a considerable positive role in the vigorous development of the mutants as a whole.

Batman suddenly remembered what Gordon told him, Lixia who suddenly appeared at home, and a feather.

that feather.

That black feather.

——Night Crow.

Batman's brain was spinning violently, and his blue pupils trembled slightly due to the intense emotion.Suddenly, his gaze moved down, and he saw the anticoagulant bottle filled with blood on the shelf.

If his guess is right—

If that's the truth—

He grabbed the anticoagulation bottle, strode to the test bench, extracted a drop of blood from it, and dropped it on the instrument.

The words "Detecting DNA" were immediately displayed on the bat computer.

Batman stared at the progress bar that kept jumping forward, his lips were tightly pursed, and his pupils constricted.His heart was beating violently, and it was hard to describe the feeling of suffocation that spread from his heart.He didn't know what he was expecting, or what he was afraid of seeing.

But time was not diverted by his will, the progress bar quickly came to an end in his unblinking eyes, and another line of prompts was replaced:

The detection is complete and the matching is successful.

DNA similarity: 100%.

This line of black font appeared in front of Batman silently and quite glaringly, telling him almost mockingly that the judgment he once believed in was like a big joke.The fact is that Night Crow is another identity of Erberist. When Erberister fell into a long-term coma and self-healing because of protecting the earth, it is impossible for him to have the spare power to plan a series of evils that happened in Gotham. pieces.

What's more, he has saved so many innocent people with another identity. Ye Ya's actions are enough to prove that he is kind in nature. No one can pretend so thoroughly in the face of life and death.Even if his original intention was really because of an agreement, it is difficult to

Do you know that what he has done can be erased?

Thinking of this, Batman couldn't help thinking about the intention of Erberist to split another identity.Perhaps just as he intentionally polarized this identity with Bruce Wayne after he became Batman, Erberist began to do so a long time ago.He believed that the wicked must exist, so he turned into a representative of evil and did all the seemingly evil things; but at that time, the weak mutants needed help urgently, and the young heroes needed guidance-so the night crow came into being.

No wonder the night raven's cloak never leaves his body, and it's no wonder that the night raven's blood will appear in Erberist's safe house. It's not that he thought of Erberist when he was dying, but that they are the same person at all.He couldn't let people associate Night Crow with a criminal, so he refused to accept Superman's help, refused to go to X Academy for treatment, but chose to come to the empty safe house alone when his life was dying.

Batman thought of the blood he'd seen, the dry and wet layers of coagulated blood, and couldn't imagine how long he'd been unconscious there, and wondered if he'd do anything to himself when he was half asleep and groggy. I regret the choice I made.

Batman knows that these speculations also include many things he doesn't understand, such as why Erberister and Night Crow can appear at the same time, such as what is the agreement between Erberist and the mage, so that he works so hard, regardless of own safety.All these doubts require him to investigate and verify them one by one.

but……

But those were not the reasons why he was so wrong.

Batman pursed his lips, guilt and remorse gradually appeared in his blue eyes.

In fact, when you think about it carefully, Erberist has never hurt innocent people.He stayed in Gotham all these years, and what he did was to restrain Gotham's dark forces through Sabatino, so that Gotham, which was still extremely chaotic at the time, entered a relatively stable period.

Batman suddenly remembered that the first time he knew about Erberist was because he sent some bad guys to the police station, and the newspaper called his actions "Gotham's hope."

Then the dark forces in Gotham gradually restrained under his control, and he dared not commit crimes with impunity.He hides in the dark and doesn't ask for a name, but he has indeed become Gotham's hope.

So... Batman closed his eyes, thinking with great self-reproach and annoyance, what made him really think that Erberist abandoned everything he had done in the past and no longer decided to protect the city?

he already knew the whole thing

Things are a trap. Ever since Ferguson Harris' death, someone has been scheming against him and Erberist, trying to make their relationship worse.On the night of Ferguson's death, he already had doubts about Erberist, and his attitude was very bad, but Erberist did not confront him directly, or resort to force directly, he chose to back down.

Even after it was found out that Erberist had nothing to do with Ferguson's death, Batman wasn't entirely reassured about him.Because at that time he had already realized that Erberist's overpowering strength was always a threat.If he doesn't do evil now, then everything is fine, but when he starts to do evil one day, it will be very difficult for Batman in this world to find someone to stop him.In fact, Batman can't bear to let others meddle in Gotham's internal affairs.

So he needs to master the weakness of Erberist, and he needs to give himself the ability to stop Erberist when he does bad things.

Back then, when he was not Batman, the mass suicide of criminals in Gotham City, today's Batman must not sit back and watch it happen again.

The man who calculated and manipulated everything knew his psychology well, and he took advantage of Batman's subconscious that Erberist was a threat, and he also used the time when Erberist was not in Gotham to direct an amazing drama.The cost was considerable, and the results obtained were very successful.

Batman's suspicion of Erberist turned into conviction. He was dazzled by the blood of innocent people and ignored the doubts.When everyone involved in the case told him it was because of Erberist's instructions, every clue he found pointed the finger at Erberist.

Even if Erberist himself never appeared, Batman would naturally attribute this to his guilty conscience, or he was planning some bigger conspiracy.

After that, he finally got the weakness of Erberist, and saw an extremely bloody death case, and the way the deceased died was exactly the same as what Erberist had done.

So in the end, he plunged the dagger into Erberister's body, and all was well.

But in fact, before that, too many doubts had appeared in front of him, but he either didn't pay attention to them, or he didn't connect them together. He felt suspicious, but didn't delve into it.Blindfolded by the man who manipulated everything, he could only see the evidence in front of him, but he ignored that the evidence needs to be supported by facts.

And because of his inexperience and too much self-confidence

letter, he pointed the dagger at Erberist.He probably doesn't know anything about what's going on in Gotham, he just returned to this land and found a child about to be killed by a cultist.

It should have never, never occurred to Erberist that the weapon that could kill him would be stabbed into his body today, just after he saved someone, by someone he had saved many times .

What would he think at that moment?

Does he regret ever saving me?

Batman couldn't help but think of the way Erberist looked at him the moment the blade pierced his body.I'm afraid he would never have imagined that after all his efforts, regardless of his injuries, he would finally get such a result.

And what did I say then?

I made him pay for what he did.

But what exactly did he do?

He nearly died protecting the planet, he saved many innocent people from fire and water, and he tried his best to make this world a better future.

And just because of the so-called evidence, I thought that he planned all the vicious cases that happened in Gotham recently, and found him guilty of the heinous crime.

Batman was still standing in front of the computer, motionless, his back was like a heavy statue, solidified with breathless depression.

After a while, he lowered his head, clenched his fingers tightly, his knuckles were blue, and trembled slightly with great strength.

Since the whole incident was his misjudgment from the beginning...

So how much damage did he do to Erberist?

Batman looked up at Erberist's face on the screen, with uncontrollable remorse and extreme guilt on his face.

Many thoughts and jumbled thoughts ran through his mind, and then he realized:

He made a huge mistake, and what was worse was that he didn't know how to make it up.

—The worst possible thing is that he has no way to make up for it at all.He didn't even know if Erberist would still be willing to see him now, to listen to his explanations, to accept his compensations.

Can you not hold grudges against a man who nearly killed you?

Batman thought, at least he couldn't do it now, and he couldn't ask Erberist to do it.

After becoming Batman, he seldom feels confused. He believes that what he is doing is correct, so there is no need to hesitate. If there are difficulties in front of him, then he will solve it.

But now he is not right.

Batman is full of remorse and guilt, thinking in pain and at a loss, at this time, he doesn't know what to do
