[DC] Countdown to Bat Survival

The old butler moved his still healthy body and locked the Wayne mansion. After many years, he returned to the Wayne manor again to pack up the relics of his last master.Gray Bat, as a hero, will be buried generously, but only a few relatives and friends attended Bruce Wayne's funeral. The old butler held a black umbrella and silently looked at the tombstone that was wet by raindrops, just like Bruce did back then.

There are not many relics of Gray Bat. Except for the equipment left to the adopted sons and the reward for Constantine, the old housekeeper only took away a diary with yellowed pages. It is not the relic of Gray Bat, but , the relic of Bruce Jr., yes, the original Bruce Wayne.

Alfred has a secret. He has known for a long time that the Wayne family actually died in the alley that day, and the Bruce he has been serving is also Batman, not the real master of Bruce.But he still did that. He dutifully fulfilled his duties as a housekeeper, because little Bruce's request was also to repay the other party's kindness for taking care of the little master for eight years.

Young Bruce was quite mischievous, and he always made things happen by accident, but he rarely got hurt.Mrs. Martha was always worried that the young master would get hurt and asked the young master to behave better, but Master Thomas would always dissuade him with a smile and proudly say, don't worry, Bruce is his son.

The butler bent down to pick up the old photos that had fallen on the floor, looking at the happy smiling family of three on the screen, lost in memory.

That happened to Master Bruce when he was a child. Bruce was very naughty when he was a child. He always said that someone was always by his side to protect him, but he couldn't find that person, so he liked to find things, and even tried to hurt himself on purpose several times. unsuccessful.But he had never seen the person he wanted to see, until that time when he ran around and accidentally fell into the abandoned well. Master Thomas went down to pick up the boy himself, and Mrs. Martha was very angry because of this. Master Bruce became much more obedient after that, and never mentioned the mysterious man again.

Alfred still remembered that at that time, the whole family believed that the mysterious man was just Master Bruce's imagination, and no one imagined Master Bruce's words that someone had been protecting him all the time. After that incident, Mrs. Martha even regarded those words as Master Bruce made naughty excuses for himself, but Master Bruce still wrote down everything he wanted to say in his diary.

No one knew, until after the incident happened in the alley that day, Master Thomas and Mrs. Martha died on the spot, and the dying Master Bruce was sent to the ambulance. He got the news and rushed from Wayne Manor to the hospital.According to the doctor, Bruce's heart stopped for 30 seconds, but fortunately he was rescued in the end. Fortunately, the bullet missed and narrowly missed his heart. (The bullet missed, however, and hit the heart.)

Alfred has been waiting by the hospital bed, waiting for Master Bruce to wake up. He still remembers how nervous he was at that time, and even imagined what he would do if Master Bruce couldn't wake up, but fortunately, Master Bruce finally woke up up.However, the loyal housekeeper soon discovered that the young master who woke up was different from before. He thought it was because he was struggling on the edge of life and death, but when Master Bruce returned to Wayne Manor after the probation period, Alfred De found a diary in Master Bruce's room.

Mr. Housekeeper failed to resist the temptation to open the diary, so he knew the secret that he shouldn't know. He was still young at that time, and he didn't even know how he should treat this completely different Master Bruce, but the breeze blew him up. The bell at the window rang rhythmically. It was the Morse code, which Master Bruce had learned briefly from him out of curiosity.

He said, "Helphim."

Everything was a coincidence, and Alfred didn't know whether to believe in such unnatural events, so he always had reservations.But it wasn't until the funeral that Master Bruce told him that your master had died a long time ago. The butler finally chose to believe it, and assisted and helped Bruce according to the young master's wishes, until Bruce turned into a gray bat and he was sent away.

But he came back here in the end, just to make a thorough farewell. Master Bruce's will did not forget every affirmation, and the old and loyal housekeeper was the first.

At the end of the funeral, the butler put a bouquet of cornflowers together with a notebook in front of the tombstone, and he deeply paid tribute to the person who had worked hard all his life.

"You have lived up to everyone's expectations and trust."

The author has something to say:

Regarding the reason why Alfred knew that H was not the original Bruce but still chose to help him, the shot did pass through the heart of little Bruce, so little Bruce died, and H/Bruce survived.

The correct translation of the last sentence should be, you have lived up to anyone's expectations and trust, I found a different translator, that's right.
