"Hey, old man."

"I guess you always knew I was in Gotan."

"I didn't look for you. At first, I always encountered accidents and didn't have the opportunity. Then, I was always busy and didn't have time. But you didn't come to me either, because I was a shame to you and unworthy of being Robin. But I crawled out of the grave to kill you."

"I met the little clown and locked him up. He laughed at me and brought back painful memories of my past with words, talking about the crowbar and the new Robin, and then he said -"

"'You're afraid'"

"I want to take him out of prison, bring him to you, and kill him in front of you. You didn't avenge me. After I died, Xiao Chou continued to kill innocent people. I wrote down their names. I want to tell you that I will definitely do better than you..."

"I'm so angry... I'm so scared..."

"I looked at those names and felt that they were all me, all parts of me. Evildoers like Xiao Chou have no right to live in this world. Only by killing one group of them can we shock the other. I have killed many people and I am already an expert. I have killed many people, so I should go to hell... so that they will never have the chance to do evil again. That is probably the meaning of my resurrection."

"...Otherwise I can't understand why I was the one to be resurrected from the dead."

When dying, people feel fear and anger.

When first resurrected, he will be angry and crazy.

Only when the life of the enemy is within reach will one think about the meaning of his or her life.

But for Jason:

Life has no meaning, it is an extra, stolen life.

He didn't know if Bruce stood in front of him, would he raise his gun in anger or just stand there at a loss.

I killed someone.

Damn them.

I killed someone.

Damn them.

But he knew he was on a different path from his family and he had no regrets.

Even though he didn't kill Xiao Chou.

He slept in an office several dozen meters away from Xiao Chou and would wake up repeatedly in the middle of the night.

Late at night, he saw on surveillance camera Weiwei jumping in late at night, holding a cat, or two cats, and standing in front of Xiao Chou's cell.

[Xiao Chou, I won't kill you.]

[Are you sure, honey? Are you going to turn me in to the police, Little Jimmy? Or Little Bat? Or take me to the bench?]

[Because I will let you die of fear instead of letting a superhero kill you as you wish.]

[Pfft…are you kidding? Superhero? Where? Are there any superheroes here?]

[You will be afraid, when that day comes, you are afraid now, Joker]

[All I see is your fear, honey. The stronger the cell, the more it means you are afraid of your cell.]

[Look around you, Xiao Chou. If you die here, no one will notice.]

[……]

[You and I both know what you are afraid of, and I don't mind giving you a little more trouble]

"I still hate the ugly old man."

"But I decided to try to believe that there was another possibility in Gotham."

"...In this city, the power of the citizens will be returned to the citizens. People will stand up to uphold justice because they know that justice is innocent. The future you want is emerging, but magic has been added to the process of emergence, and you are worried about the price of magic."

"What does Weiwei have to pay? What deal did the mayor make with him? Who is behind this?"

“What will it cost to change Gotam?”

[Are you willing to give everything for Mr. C? To protect this city.]

[The crisis is imminent, and you don’t know the full extent of it.]

—Are you willing to become a believer in my Lord?

—Even though you know that my Lord is not merciful.

You should remember, Jason told himself, that language is powerful, and the first time you fell into Vivi's trap was because you ignored the constraints of language.

He said, "What exactly do you need me to do?"

[Just a layer of insurance, Mr. C...needs to see the world as you see it.]

Behold, the same old trick, the devil's trick.

"Do you need my eyes..." he said, "I...but I can't give you all of them."

He didn't mind becoming blind if it meant saving thousands of people.

[Fair trade.]

That's all they said.

"See, old man, she said fair trade."

"I'm giving my all to save someone who has nothing to do with me, and she thinks I'm making a profit."

"I wonder if I look stupid to other people, and you must look stupider than me."

"Daisy Diamond, I'm not familiar with who she is, but now it seems that she is very likely a follower of Mr. Unmentionable, and Vivi...she has already given up everything, right? She seemed to be good at deals, but now it seems that she is a complete fool."

"OK."

Jason heard himself say that, and it seemed so easy.

He knew that he had fallen into the language trap for the second time.

Then he asked casually, "What did Vivi pay to solve Charon's problem?"

[…Nothing, I guess.] The voice on the other end of the line was soft and casual, with a hint of weakness. [She just died in place of everyone else.]

The transaction is established.

There was a cough: [My health is too weak, otherwise I should be the one... Follow Charon, search the laboratory as much as possible, and don't alarm him.]

Jason didn't reply.

He kept doing this, and the moment he agreed, he felt a subtle burning sensation in his left eye. As he turned the next corner, he used the firelight to take a look with his metal wristband.

——His left eye turned golden.

Like a beast, but also like flowing glass.

Besides that, he always felt that someone was watching him, sticking to his back or hiding inside his body, making people creepy and lingering, seeing what he saw, knowing what he knew - this made Jason subconsciously want to dig out this eye.

But he held back.

What if he agreed? His life was stolen in the first place, and if Mr. C wanted to do something with his body... throughout history, no matter whether it was human or non-human, as long as it existed.

...can all be killed.

It seems that he and Weiwei have become natural allies.

Apparently, Professor Daisy thought the same. She treated Jason as her own. She coughed and explained the current situation: the infected were sent to another space, and Batman and others also went in, but there was no need to worry about their lives.

“…They won’t die.”

"There are 120,000 people underground, all slaves, who have lived here for generations, like sheep being driven by a shepherd. I don't know how many are infected."

"Deeper still... there are magma pools. The monsters living in the magma pools, if they come to the surface or destroy the pillars, Gotan City will fall apart."

Jason listened quietly and realized one thing: Mr. C seemed to have less control over the underground old city than over Gotham City.

…

The game knows much less about the underground than the aboveground.

Weiwei realized this.

Old Gotham City was a strange new map. When she walked in, even though the map was being completed bit by bit, it was not like the feeling when the sewer map was completed. She still felt that the place was extremely strange.

Maybe it's an illusion?

Although it is possible to watch "Gargoyle" a second time, it is still difficult to concentrate on a movie you have already seen, so she simply immersed herself in "Mr. C".

Of course, Vivi didn't want to do anything to Jason, but she chose to watch the movie by herself, because she was the only one in the "activity period" timeline, and at the same time she could know the situation in the outside world, so the best solution should be for Bella Betiven to enter Old Gothic City, but except for Mr. C, the other small accounts were either busy, under the public eye, or too weak. For example, Daisy, her health was full, but it didn't mean that her physique would change from a weak young lady to a special forces soldier who could fight one against five. At that time, Jason's position was the best.

Weiwei thought for a moment and made a decision -

Have Jason wear Mr. C's glasses, but only one.

But the glasses are not real objects, but panels, and she must make Jason, like other corpses, an "object" that can be dragged onto the panel.

She succeeded.

Now, Weiwei focuses more on "Mr. C", or Jason.

He seemed to realize that he was "possessed", but unlike other vests, he was not aware that it was Vivi who possessed him. They did not have the power of telepathy, but Vivi could sense everything that happened to him.

His heart was beating fast, he was thinking, and he was cautious.

He was sweating, but not much.

During this time, a movie was playing, and the original body in the mayor's office of Gensokyo stared at the screen.

Corpses appeared behind her one after another, then fell down and piled on the ground.

…

Tim sat up suddenly.

As if he was reluctant to take a breath, he put on a gas mask as soon as he regained consciousness, then almost leaped to the opposite building, hugged the water pipe, climbed to the top floor, and sat down with his back against the bulge on the roof.

He is dead.

Then he came back to life.

The third Robin was definitely not stupid. After being sent to the hospital, he briefly regained consciousness for ten minutes while trying to collect intelligence about the surroundings, the large-scale malignant infectious disease, and the useless isolation. Then, in a drowsy moment, he realized that he was dead.

When he first woke up, he saw that he was still lying in the hospital bed, the GCPD officers were sick and unable to guard outside, and the cuts he had suffered disappeared.

But he didn't go out, and because he stayed with other patients, he became infected again.

Before he fell into a second deep sleep, he saw someone waking up - a corpse waking up.

Tim realized: they would be resurrected. But the local doctors and nurses did not realize that resurrection would make him return to "normal". He had to take advantage of that time to leave the infected area. He used two deaths to go to the toilet and collect the necessary equipment.

At this moment, he finally waited for this moment. Tim stood up by leaning against the wall. He waited for half an hour and did not have a fever or vomit blood. There was no abnormality in his body temperature or heartbeat.

He shook his head, took off all his clothes and burned them, washed his body with the rain, and put on other people's clothes that were hung out to dry. His pants fit him well, but his shirt was a little small and was quickly soaked in the drizzle, making him look like an ordinary student.

Tim decided to check out his safe house.

Of course he has a safe house in Gotham City, and if he is lucky, there are the equipment he needs. It is too far to rush to the Batcave from here, and he needs to know the difference and connection between this world and the real world, but while rushing, he bumped into someone.

The big black umbrella held by the red-haired girl accidentally blocked her vision, and behind her, the gargoyle wrapped himself completely in a raincoat, looking like a dangerous strong man at first glance.
