Lincoln March got out of the car.
The biting cold wind rushed into the car, and the original owner, who was knocked unconscious, groaned but did not wake up.
Lincoln frowned and said nothing. He looked at the crooked front of the car, then stretched out his hand.
In the distance was a deserted road with no cars on it. He was on the highway from Gotham to Bludhaven, but a translucent barrier blocked him.
There was no entity, nothing, but the closer he got, the more oppressive he felt. There was something in front of him, so he couldn't leave.
Lincoln angrily punched the front of the car.
He took a deep breath, took out his gun, and stuffed it directly into the mouth of the car owner who was about to get up tremblingly, and then "bang——"
The fatal shot did not cause much bleeding. He dragged the body into the bushes and drove back to the city.
After about a few minutes, the stiff corpse crawled up in a daze. At first, it was confused about what happened, then its expression changed, and it immediately took out its cell phone and chose to call the police.
Lincoln drove his car into the traffic.
At first, he didn't notice anything wrong.
The surrounding environment was no different from the original Gotham City. No one realized that this was an illusion until Lincoln raised his head and saw gargoyles flying by in the rain.
Then, there was no sound coming from the other end of the communicator used to contact Charon, and there was no response from the bomb buried in Charon's neck - at that moment he thought that this guy chose to betray, and then Lincoln found more unusual places, some details, such as some stores were not open, and the person waiting for the red light next to him did not seem to be the original one, and then more and more evidence.
At that moment, he seemed to have come to another Gotan city.
And he couldn't leave.
This is a prosperous city, just like the real Gotham. Lincoln can obtain other people's identities, mobile phones, find the old site of the owl, go underground to investigate the disappearance of Charon, contact Daisy... or something else, but he doesn't know what he is doing. He is...
He is trying to escape from the city.
He is afraid.
This is fake, he is sure that this is a fake city. Lincoln thought he didn't love Gotham, but in fact, he really knew this city very well - he hacked into the website and found that the network here could only see news about Gotham. Searching for "New York" and "Metropolis" all gave "no results". This place was like an isolated island. No matter how much it looked like Gotham, it was fake!
However, he drove around and around and actually arrived at Qingliu Cottage.
This is where he...lives.
Martha Wayne was threatened by gangsters and suffered a car accident during her pregnancy, which led to her premature birth. For his safety, his parents placed him in this shelter. Year after year, he grew up in pain, but Martha could not recognize him. She could only occasionally visit all the children, including him, in the name of an investor.
He firmly believed that the other party's real purpose was to see him, but she could only use the excuse to visit her children in order to hide his existence. Martha treated him no differently than she treated other people, but he knew that the way she looked at him was different.
Why can Bruce Wayne live openly with his family, when he is clearly different from other orphans, but can only live in the shadows?
With the help of the Owl Court, he was no longer so sick, he became stronger day by day, his brothers left Gothan, he knew it was the day of his return, but the appearance of Bruce destroyed everything.
——Lincoln firmly believed that Gotham would be a better place if he became the heir of the Wayne family.
After the fire, Qingliu Cottage has become a ruin, surrounded by unusable swampland, and looks like a haunted house from a distance.
Lincoln jumped out of the car and entered the basement of Qingliu Cottage, which used to be a place where managers disciplined children. However, when he opened the door of the basement, he saw a silver-gray mechanical device with dark green liquid floating in it.
"Is this a virtual city? Am I in an illusion?" Lincoln hesitated for a moment and touched the outer shell of the machine. "Or... is this actually Gotham City?"
He was just trapped in Gotan City?
He felt upset at this moment.
If it is the former, it means that he is most likely being hypnotized and someone has invaded his brain and uncovered the secrets deep inside. If it is the latter, it means that he is also being hypnotized, like a mouse controlling variables in a cage. His plan has long been known to others, and it is like he is performing for the other party without knowing it.
Their struggles and efforts are just a farce on the stage.
Lincoln began to doubt the success of his plan.
No, he can't go to Daisy... He doesn't trust her, and he can't go to Charon, because Charon might betray him... What about the owl's cave? Their nest in the city? However, the claws that leave the nest become blades in the hands of the mayor... The court rulers of Gotham City are all suffering from mental illness. They haven't had time to explain the secrets of the court to their descendants, and their descendants are obsessed with fighting for the interests they left behind... They lose the big picture for the small, these idiots!
He put his hand on the machine, and suddenly a crazy idea flashed through his mind -
If they are the ones performing on a stage, then just destroy the stage.
No matter whether this is the fake Gotam City or the real Gotam City, as long as it is destroyed... No, you can't think like that!
Lincoln realized that he was influenced by the illusion that "the whole world is false" -
When people realize they are in a virtual world that they cannot leave, their minds will be affected. They may go crazy or try every possible way to escape. He has to continue investigating to find out where this place is. Maybe the situation is not that bad... There is no need for machines for the time being.
He cleaned up the traces he left behind and left Qingliu Cottage. However, just as he jumped into the car, another ordinary car drove up from the end of the road. Lincoln frowned - he didn't like this unexpected feeling of being out of control. Just as the two cars passed by, the muzzle of a gun was extended from the opposite car window.
"GCPD! Stop the car immediately--"
Lincoln was stunned. He took out his gun and fired two shots at the opposite side. However, one shot inexplicably hit the window glass, and the other shot deviated from its trajectory because of a suddenly falling branch.
Lincoln: “…”
Forget it. If he hadn't known this would happen, why would he have deliberately put the muzzle of the gun into the other person's mouth when killing him before? It was because even an ordinary person could have used the outline gun method during his clumsy dodge. It was ridiculous!
Lincoln stepped on the accelerator and decided to drive away. The moment he accelerated, he heard a faint cough coming from the police car.
After Lincoln and the police car left, Batman covered his mouth and nose and pushed open the door of Qingliu Cottage.
He wiped the dust off the photo on the wall of the hall and stared at Martha Wayne in the photo for a long while before going underground.
"Magic has a much longer history than technology, and technology may be able to do things that magic can't do," Batman stared at the machine in front of him, "This was made by Augustus, that's obvious."
Of course, there are also tools to deal with magicians in the Bat Cave.
By collecting the frequency of the magician's power and using a counteracting wave, the opponent can be driven back to the original world. Just like demons and angels cannot descend directly to the human world, if a certain existence is not human, or even not a species recognized by this universe, then He cannot leave and descend directly to the main material plane, and must go through a medium.
The machine in front of him was operating. Batman took out the bat dart. A few seconds later, electric light came out of the machine, and a gray smoke rose with a slight explosion. He surveyed the surroundings and left the basement.
He took out the tablet and hacked into the GCPD's surveillance system in this world.
The whole city is in chaos.
In the movie, the villain Bats attacked just in time for the virus to wreak havoc throughout the city.
Now, under the order of the "mayor", everyone temporarily stayed indoors, isolated themselves at home or in the company, stopped drinking raw water, and used unopened bottled mineral water instead. Sending them to the hospital would be useless, because the hospital was already overcrowded, and even many medical staff had been infected. Therefore, if Lincoln drove on the street, he would find that the street was terribly deserted. Only special forces in full protective clothing drove tanks on the street, and people on high-rise buildings carefully looked through the glass, in panic and fear, to see the situation outside.
There were also gargoyles flying across the sky - gargoyles were all stone sculptures, so they wouldn't be affected by the virus, and people didn't care about them for the time being.
Central Avenue has been blocked, Batman has not contacted Vivi and Nightwing, and Robin is in the hospital and his condition is not good.
Batman guessed that the virus was related to both blood and air. To be on the safe side, he used an oxygen cylinder to enter the blockade area and collected groundwater. However, he found that tests showed that the air underground was even cleaner than above ground.
Is there something purifying the groundwater? Batman pressed his finger on the water pipe in the underground wall, pondered for a moment, and removed his finger. Under his power, the water pipe in front of him did not even leave the slightest mark.
Batman is not surprised that the real Gotham City also has this. It seems that as long as they respond in time, even if the virus is rampant, the situation in Gotham City can be controlled within a certain range. However, as long as the source of the virus cannot be resolved... the situation will not really improve.
Either kill all the sick people or create an antidote immediately.
"Is this what you want? To keep the virus contained within this world? Until a cure is found?"
蝙蝠俠離開青柳小屋，最後，他落在了犯罪巷。
現實中有蝙蝠洞，但這個世界設定下，蝙蝠俠并不是布魯斯·韋恩，他的巢穴在韋恩大廈，而現實中韋恩夫婦紀念館已經被推倒，他們夫妻死亡時的地方變成了花店，不需要布魯斯帶着鮮花去探望，永遠都有花卉環繞，在這個世界中，這裏卻依然伫立在犯罪巷。
如果林肯·馬奇先來看一眼他“父母”的紀念館，很可能就會意識到這裏是“電影”世界，并想到如何解決他的被困問題。
——幽影蝙蝠想要奪得的那朵許願玫瑰。
現在的時間線，女主角艾琳正在往紀念館趕過來，而幽影蝙蝠的滴水獸來得慢一步，電影中的玫瑰真的有效力嗎？誰也不知道，但獲得玫瑰比沒有玫瑰把握更大。
蝙蝠俠，布魯斯·韋恩落在了紀念館後門，路燈也被雨絲包裹，雨點濺落在水窪之上，水窪倒影中他穿着防護服的面貌有如漆黑的惡鬼。
布魯斯的步伐突然一頓。
過去的許多年，他是蝙蝠俠，他為了保護哥譚市穿得像個瘋子一樣飛躍哥譚的大街小巷，有時候，他會帶着一束玫瑰來到紀念館的後門，就是這裏，他不會進去，只是把玫瑰花放在路燈下面，過上幾天亦或者幾個小時，玫瑰花就不見了。
布魯斯從來不說自己是英雄，即使組建了正義聯盟之後，他們為了正義而戰，但他依舊不覺得自己是英雄，因為他的所作所為，有一部分是為了他自己——他必須站出來，必須做些什麽，必須去打倒罪犯，才能讓他忘記小巷中那個懦弱的自己。
小巷裏韋恩夫婦被槍殺，于是蝙蝠俠出現了，他并非無所畏懼，他也曾中過恐怖毒氣，在毒氣彌漫中他看到母親的珍珠項鏈四散，而他失去了強大的體魄與鍛煉出來的武技，在恐懼中他依舊是個無能為力的孩子。
現在也是。
布魯斯·韋恩盯着水窪中的倒影，他的影子也投射在路燈下方，水窪之上，随着雨絲擊打扭曲着，破碎着，然後這影子蠕動了一下，像是突然吸走了周圍的光。
它變成了“蝙蝠俠”。
或者說，它變成了電影中的反派，幽影蝙蝠俠，能夠操控滴水獸也能夠讓自己藏匿在陰影中的那個“蝙蝠俠”。
布魯斯知道它的深層設定，即電影中沒有表現出來的那個，由韋恩投資的電影自然不會把大老板“布魯斯·韋恩”寫成蝙蝠俠，然而編劇不知道蝙蝠俠的真實身份，如果電影要拍第二部 第三部，此時現實中蝙蝠俠又不小心暴露了他的身份，就會讓電影很被動——所以他們做下決定，電影中的“蝙蝠俠”絕不會公布真實身份。
甚至于，電影中這個蝙蝠俠未必是“反派”，它可以是一個影子。
一個從超級英雄蝙蝠俠身上分裂出來的影子。
就布魯斯所知，目前的設定為幽影蝙蝠是“蝙蝠俠”的影子，就像是滴水獸可以脫離它的掌控一樣，它的夢想是“統治哥譚”亦或者“成為人類”，續集中如果選擇後者作為願望，那就可以想辦法洗白它了，這畢竟是個動畫電影，不會有再複雜的陰謀了。
所以當布魯斯意識到他們進入的是什麽電影世界時，他就知道這個反派正在什麽地方了，他的影子裏，一直都在。
眼前的影子沒有布魯斯身上的防護服，依舊是“蝙蝠俠”的模樣，它整個影子只有一點白，那就是下巴，它并沒有眼睛。
它的聲音也與布魯斯改變過的聲音一樣，它似乎是第一次見到布魯斯：【我的操控者就是這個樣子嗎？你沒有尖牙利爪，也不會飛翔，你看上去比我還弱，為什麽是由你操控我，而不是由我操控你？】
當它說最後一句話時，它幾乎是貼着布魯斯的臉，只隔着防護服與面罩。
“但你幫助了我，帶我找到了林肯·馬奇，”布魯斯說，“讓滴水獸去驅趕人類遠離隔離區，在這裏，我們得共同作戰，否則哥譚市将不複存在，幽影。”
“是的，我們得共同作戰，”蝙蝠俠胸口的對講機中響起了熟悉的女聲，“特種部隊已經封鎖了主要道路，把他們劃區域集結完畢，我的人正在将哥譚市目前著名的病毒學家與醫學家送至老城區，讓他們着手研究樣本，星辰實驗室提供了研究場所，一切都會變好的。”
“多謝，”布魯斯頓了頓，“安娜。”
安娜·艾萊克，哥譚市市長，不過布魯斯并沒有親眼看到她，她通過電話聯絡這個城市中的所有人，讓大家行動起來，組織抗疫，不過，就算是看到了她，因為她并沒有出現在電影中，估計也是和其他人一般的“大衆”臉。大約是這個世界的布魯斯·韋恩在設定上就不是蝙蝠俠，所以韋恩莊園下方也沒有蝙蝠洞。
沒有蝙蝠電腦的幫助，布魯斯沒法幫忙破譯病毒的基因編碼。
【也沒有地下的城市，】幽影說道，【傳說中舊哥譚的确沉入了地下，但誰還會相信這種哄孩子的傳說？】
雖然它是個會被小孩子打敗的反派，但它同時也統治着哥譚市，至少，有着滴水獸，它知道哥譚市的所有秘密。
“那麽貓頭鷹法庭呢？”布魯斯問。
這次幽影沉默了一會兒，然後說：【他們一直存在，那些貓頭鷹們，他們藏在這個城市裏，上百年間，他們在我們的家中做窩，但我們已經沒法趕走他們了……因為哥譚市也變成了他們的家。】
它給布魯斯詳細描述了一下法庭，而布魯斯正好與自己了解的一切相對照，最後，它提到了安娜·艾萊克，它說：【……我對那個紐約人知道的不多。】
當聽到玻璃破碎的聲音時，布魯斯這才打開後門，走進了韋恩夫婦紀念館，因為艾琳來了。
比現在早兩分鐘亦或者晚兩分鐘，玫瑰便一直是玫瑰，而只有女主角艾琳出現，玫瑰花才會變成能讓人心想事成的“玫瑰”，這是個電影，圍繞着艾琳而轉的電影，除了她和幾個主要角色以外，理論上其他所有人都是面貌模糊亦或者重複的角色。
艾琳抱着滴水獸的脖子沖了進來，在那之後，警車的聲音幾乎響徹天際。
玫瑰花溫柔地同艾琳說話，紅發的女孩就像身處童話般的世界，她捧着玫瑰，一如電影內茫然無措，直到蝙蝠的陰影投在她身上：“艾琳。”
艾琳拽着花莖，立刻擋在滴水獸的面前，然後她才發現眼前的“蝙蝠”似乎并不是她看到的“蝙蝠”。
“你想要許什麽願望呢？”在場只有玫瑰不受絲毫影響，它用那種慢吞吞的語調再次詢問了一遍。
“艾琳，”蝙蝠俠的披風揚起，擋住了警員刺目的探照燈，“你想要——”
他的話沒有說完，因為他的影子在探照燈的作用下驟然放大，投射在牆壁之上，就像是個恐怖的怪物，然後這個恐怖怪物如離弦之箭一般射出，直指艾琳手中的玫瑰，就在此時，一枚子彈彈射在蝙蝠俠的披風上，然後于牆壁的金屬隔層上彈跳兩次，恰巧穿透了幽影蝙蝠射向艾琳的尖銳手指。
——就像電影中注定的那樣。
女孩吓了一跳，立刻去拉滴水獸，來不及再聽布魯斯沒說完的話，可就在此時，滴水獸的羽翼上站了一個人，一個男孩。
那個男孩一刀劈下來，但這一刀留了力，只是逼退了滴水獸，他真正的目标是艾琳手裏的玫瑰。
他顯然、顯然在這裏……埋伏很久了！
然而此時，艾琳似乎是腳下一滑，差一點點摔倒，滴水獸則俯下身子，想要保護她，男孩的手指只差了不到三厘米，下一秒，女孩和滴水獸一起滾出了玻璃破碎的紀念館。
只有警員的子彈如約而至。
布魯斯在此時猶豫了一瞬，然後，他撐起的披風護住了綠眼睛的男孩。
在這種情況下……在混亂的虛拟的世界裏，他見到了他的兒子，他與塔利亞的親生子。
達米安。
“我不需——”達米安包裹在紅色的制服下，他給自己取了個“紅鳥”的代號，但他的話并沒能說完。
因為整個世界，周圍的一切，似乎都在倒退。
除了紀念館中的他們倆。
破碎的玻璃恢複原狀，打開的房門重新關閉，甚至消失了的一朵玫瑰花也回到了照片之下，但看不出什麽許願與對話的能力——就像達米安才來到紀念館時一樣。
他早在之前就把這個電影世界逛了一圈，然後做出決定，直接去紀念館取玫瑰，可是只要取走了在這裏的玫瑰，他就會遇到各種各樣的意外，玫瑰也會在機緣巧合之下重新回到這裏，達米安猜得出來，大約要等“劇情”。
玫瑰和電影劇情有關，所以他只有那一次機會，從艾琳手中奪走玫瑰花的機會。
現在他失敗了。
他厭惡失敗。
達米安惡聲惡氣地問：“這是怎麽了？”
他問的是周圍環境的變化。
蝙蝠俠，他的親生父親，則看了眼挂鐘：“電影結束了，歷時七個小時。”
達米安一愣，他蹙眉，這次則是真心實意地問：“這個世界是循環的？只有七個小時？”
“那我們該怎麽離開？”他冷笑，“你相信薇薇·懷特？”
誰能把他們拉進這個世界，除了那家夥以外不做他想。
“抱歉……”蝙蝠俠的防護衣沒有消失，胸口的對講機發出聲音，“什麽是循環的？薇薇怎麽了？”
是“安娜·艾萊克”，市長女士。
顯然，世界循環之後，這個世界中NPC們的記憶也倒退了。
“市長，”布魯斯說，“這一切以後解釋，我們時間不多了，你可以派人查看一番哥譚市中心醫院與韋恩醫院是否突然出現了将近三千人，他們都感染了病毒，通過空氣傳播，如果身上有傷口，會加速感染，立即封鎖醫院，我們的時間不多。”
短暫交談取信之後，他掐斷了聊天，達米安還站在面前，此時桀骜道：“這些人只是電影中的NPC，就算感染了也不會死，現在要做的難道不是重新找到那些醫生，立刻研究解藥嗎？”
這個世界居然是七個小時循環一次的，這說明獲得解藥更麻煩了，因為之前的研究結果都會消失，而聚集與取信醫生的流程得反複地做，只要想想就明白那有多麻煩。
布魯斯看着達米安，防護服下的表情卻有些複雜。
他當然知道達米安是他的兒子，塔利亞在留下達米安的時候可不會什麽都不說，而塔利亞認為将達米安留在黛絲身邊是他鍛煉的機會，布魯斯暫時不相認卻是因為……他不知道該怎麽對待自己的親生兒子，由刺客之女生下的兒子，這個手染鮮血的……惡魔之子。
但他們終究還是碰面了。
“我曾經期望獲得家庭，”布魯斯最終艱澀開口，“……而後來我得到了。”
也失去了。
“達米安，”他說，“我有監護你的義務，跟上我。”
“叫我‘紅鳥’，”男孩沉默了一會兒，“我還沒有承認你。”
但在這個世界，除了眼前人與幾個人之外，都是NPC，跟上也沒問題……他還得去抓住薇薇·懷特呢。
在電影世界進入第二輪時，現實中的哥譚市幾乎是電影世界中的翻版。
……為了取信卡戎，當使用出【幻想鄉】時，薇薇立刻操控市長馬甲，将整條街道封鎖，并将議員們與街道上的其他路人拉進醫院隔離。
而除了他們之外，還有幾十輛救護車完全是空車，救護車開到街道上，然後什麽也沒拉走，又開回去，還開來了警車，将這條街圍地密不透風，關閉所有監控，即使這樣，薇薇也擔心自己做得不夠。
她心分多用，一部分是市長，正指揮着他們放出虛假的線索，并讓手下聯系其他病毒專家——其他城市的，一部分是黛絲，進入地下尋找卡戎，等待機會，以防萬一通知了紅頭罩與史蒂芬醫生，一部分在幻想鄉，對比現實尋找那個不存在的地下世界，如果沒有地下世界，那怎麽獲得病毒的解藥——他們的時間不多，甚至連貝拉也在忙碌，忙碌着維護哥譚市的治安，也不讓罪犯有機會傷害這個惶惶中的城市。
她從沒有這麽同時全功率地操控四個角色。
有時候，薇薇也會想，【心分多用】的技能真的存在嗎？原理又是什麽，如果在游戲中有這樣的技能，她真的還是她嗎？
在忙碌的某一刻，她覺得自己似乎輕飄飄地浮了起來，從上空俯視這個繁華富有又傷痕累累的城市，她看到了她自己，但不是“安娜”“貝拉”“黛絲”，而是戴着不同眼鏡的“薇薇”，然而在其他人眼裏，只是戴上了眼鏡，他們就從認知層面改變了想法，認為那是市長，監獄長，教授。
她又将目光投入【幻想鄉】，看到了“薇薇”，同樣在為了病毒的問題而奔走。
這種錯覺似乎只過了一瞬，薇薇回過神來時，那樣的視角就消失了。
她把自己的屍體推入湖水中，揉了揉太陽穴，感到些許用腦過度般的頭痛。
——話說回來，“薇薇”也只是她捏臉捏出來的角色而已，她是什麽時候覺得這就是……“自己”了呢？
薇薇撐着膝蓋站了起來，她也意識到電影中的時間就像讀檔一樣重新轉動了，不過看一眼沒消失的屍體就知道，他們這些“外來人”造成的影響是不會讀檔的。
地下顯然是沒有埋骨鎮了，如果在地下找不到解藥，那麽獲得解藥的方式就只能指望真正的“埋骨鎮”了，哥譚市下方的那一座。
不過薇薇不想冒險，不說別的，現在整個哥譚市的人口也只有七百多萬，她不想用自己的七百多萬去換下面那十幾萬。
她的眼前再次黑了一瞬，這種感覺薇薇已經熟悉了，再睜開眼，她面前已經躺着一具屍體，她自己的屍體，她輕輕踢了一腳，屍體順着草坡的弧度滾下去，噗通一聲砸進湖裏，慢慢沉了下去。
“……又有人死了，是病死嗎？”
看樣子她還不能随便回去，除非一路棄屍。
醫院裏的那些NPC病人在讀檔之後就不再生病了，但攜帶病毒的埋骨鎮鎮民們才是病得最重的，有些人體質虛弱，本就撐不久，但巧的是，這次并不是病死的。
是林肯·馬奇潛入市政廳，殺死了發現他的警衛，一路潛行到了市長所在的位置……到目前為止，林肯·馬奇還不知道他們正待在“電影世界”。
……他沒有看過這部黑化蝙蝠俠的電影，也沒人告訴他電影的情節，而因為時刻更換位置，市民面貌重複，他也沒有意識到自己殺死的人會複活并報警。
不過，他發現了時間循環。
既然如此，趁機在這個不存在的世界獲得一點好處好了，他潛入了市政廳，目标為安娜·艾萊克的電腦。
在當秘書期間，林肯很少有機會進入市長辦公室，甚至幾乎見不到艾萊克，有時候在外面看那愚蠢且毫無美感的鋼鐵牆壁，他也會懷疑安娜·艾萊克是怎麽坐穩哥譚市長這個職位的，靠法庭、靠姨媽……還是靠神秘側的非人類？
她不可能什麽都不靠，她所有的秘密都藏在那個舊電腦裏，而在這個世界……如果與現實世界相差不大，或許他能知道對方的秘密。
當林肯從卧室進入辦公室時，他愣了一下。
辦公室裏一個人都沒有。
安娜·艾萊克并不在這裏……她是出去了？是的，她經常出去的，沒什麽奇怪的。
掃地機器人“嗡嗡”地在地上轉圈，以正常的速度劃過地板，書房的門緊閉，林肯恍然意識到——
這是他第一次進入市長辦公室，他之前居然從沒有進入過市長辦公室，這未免……有些奇怪？
房間裏略有些陰暗了，林肯忽視了機器人，打開電腦，電腦開機稍慢，他沉思了一番，看向書房。
然後，林肯的指尖出現了飛刀，飛刀劃過的那個瞬間，折射的銀光仿佛斬開了空間，林肯向後翻身，躲過了從上方落下的吊燈碎片！
他說：“夜翼！”
他的刀并不是指向書房大門的，而是直接射向頭頂——射向頭頂埋伏着的夜翼！
夜翼，夜翼！前羅賓，蝙蝠俠的第一位助手，林肯仰着面，突然暢快地笑起來——
他看到了夜翼，這代表着蝙蝠俠在這裏！
這代表着……這個世界，并不是純粹虛假的！
直到這一刻林肯才意識到，他為什麽将手久久地放在機器上，他那一刻為什麽想要毀掉這裏，因為他在恐懼……他居然，在恐懼，他害怕只有他與其他埋骨鎮人被關在了這裏，沒有任何預兆，突然被關入一個陌生又熟悉的空間裏，他害怕“C先生”不可戰勝，而如果他真的得永遠待在這個無限循環的監獄中，就算殺光所有人，沒有蝙蝠俠也沒有布魯斯·韋恩，林肯·馬奇的存在又有什麽意義？
“我要殺了你，”他踩着桌面，毫不猶豫地起跳，迎着夜翼的棍子，“受死吧！”
這個一直僞裝成秘書的男人終于露出他銳利又狂妄的一面，他畢竟是……利爪！
——不死不滅的利爪！
……
薇薇捂着臉，默默地把背上的屍體丢入下水道，看着屍體順着水流漂走。
她現在的情況，要想去哥譚東區，就只能走地下了。
繞過地下的水管工，薇薇掀開蓋子，确認了一下地點，嗖一下竄進了韋恩紀念館。
她嘆口氣，發現羅賓的通訊依舊失聯，時間指向零點，艾琳還沒有來這裏。
She walked to the photo wall and easily found the conspicuous bouquet of roses.
In a bunch of roses, one rose climbed up from the bouquet, and the bud turned and pointed at Weiwei, and then...
Then, like in every fairy tale movie, the rose began to speak.
"You can promise me to leave here," said the rose, "and then I will wither."
Weiwei frowned: "What if I make another wish?"
"It's okay if you don't want to leave," the rose moved and touched her face with its bud, as if kissing her, "but I can only grant one wish. If you wish for something else, this world will always, always be like this..."
It will continue in a cycle, never stopping.
Roses are the "back door" to this world and the only way home.
