"You want to exchange trust, right?" Weiwei thought for a moment, handed the loudspeaker over and asked.

The little Batman hugged the equipment that was much bigger than himself, sighed, and felt around his face for a while: "Do you want to find a magnifying glass?"

“No need…” She didn’t need to take out a magnifying glass to look at the little face in front of her. Weiwei was silent for a while and said, “When you said you wanted to tell me your identity, I ‘saw’ your name.”

【The richest man in Ge Tan】

She had only seen that identity on the top of one person's head, Wayne the Great, Mr. Bruce Wayne.

Philanthropist, billionaire, the richest man in Gotham, playboy. It is said that he has disappeared from Gotham for a week in order to pursue the beautiful African girl. After Bruce's vest fell off, the identities of the others are easy to guess. The eldest son Dick Grayson is Nightwing, and the third son Tim Drake is Robin.

So, Vivi and Nightwing solved the Black Mask together, and then invited Nightwing to be the deputy warden of the prison under the identity of Bella?

No wonder the young policeman refused to stay, even if he could get a promotion. Because he is not only a policeman, but also a vigilante guarding a city - just like Batman would not go to the prison in Blüdhaven to be the warden, no one can imagine Nightwing leaving his city.

After joining the Night Watch, she began to understand them, but there were still things she didn't understand.

"You are so rich, why do you want to be a vigilante?"

Bruce asked back, "Are you short of money?"

A mayor who appears to be well-off but actually owes 8 million gold coins: "... Lack!"

"That's perfect," the playboy smiled. "You are short of money, and I am rich. Our goal is to make Gotan a better place. With a common goal and reason for the transaction, we have the basis for cooperation."

It seems to make sense, Weiwei thought, has she found a financial sponsor?

"But," she hesitated, "Batman, I know you've been fighting criminals, you've put them in jail, you've invested in Arkham, you've done everything you can to cure these bad guys... but our philosophies are different. I want to kill them."

Maybe it was the right atmosphere, or maybe it was a rare opportunity for this kind of conversation, Bruce said calmly: "I want to kill them too, because they killed innocent people... What are you thinking, do you think I don't want criminals to be punished? I keep trying, and I keep failing."

"—The Batman that criminals fear is a failure."

"Because he's just a human, he needs to do a lot of preparation before the battle, to train himself, to collect information, to make countless plans, but he will still fail," Bruce is like evaluating Batman as Wayne the Big Man, "So he is often afraid, because he can't imagine what will happen to the city if he fails completely. He will age, and then what he has worked hard for will still be burned down, and Gotham will still not change."

"That's why I... don't kill anyone," the man said with difficulty.

"Vivi, I don't kill people because Batman will die eventually," he said. "It is the law, not Batman, that can really change this city."

"You actually wanted Harvey Dent, the Two-Face, to become the Knight of Light in Gotham again," Weiwei suddenly made a comment that had nothing to do with what Batman said before, "but you still gave him the choice."

The two looked at each other silently in the warm light of the room. After a while, Weiwei slowly turned away and said, "Harvey will not die, but he will be punished."

"He killed people and destroyed cities, and he should be punished," Bruce said.

Damn it, after thinking about the current situation, Weiwei found that she actually felt a little guilty, but Batman... this guy, it was clearly him who did it first!

"I observed you and analyzed you," Bruce continued when Weiwei stopped talking. "I taught you how to fight. I know you love this city."

Weiwei nodded: Of course!

Bruce: "But I still don't trust you and the people behind you."

Weiwei: “Hmm?”

"You don't have to trust me, and I will stop you when you cross the line, even if I may fail," Bruce's tone is more like Batman at this time, "but this does not mean that we can't cooperate. After all, changing Gotham is not just talk, but action."

"You will help me," Weiwei stared at him, "but sometimes you will also stop me..."

This felt so strange. For a moment, Weiwei felt that Bruce Wayne in front of her was like a real person. Has the game algorithm become so superior? Through the surface of the data, she seemed to see a person's unfinished words and some more complex problems that she couldn't figure out yet.

Then don’t think about it!

"Besides that," Bruce said frankly, "I also want to take this opportunity to pull you from Mr. C to our side. This is not a provocation... but because we have been through some bad days, we hope that you can become a better person. Weiwei, I don't know the relationship between you and Mr. C, nor do I know how you can get rid of his control, so this is just a suggestion. He is dangerous, and you should know this."

As expected, Mr. C controls the Penguin Man through his mind and gains a group of fanatical followers led by Violin. He places a statue of Batman in the city center for fun, makes a large number of criminals "disappear" on the spot, resurrects Vivi, and plays with the power of "death"... Even Vivi herself, looking back at these things that were blamed on Mr. C, feels that her statement that "Mr. C is not a bad guy" is not very confident.

Weiwei asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Well," Bruce said, "I think I can start by investing $200 million in sewer construction throughout the city, fundraising for the poor in the East Side, and daily maintenance of Blackgate Prison."

Weiwei: “!”

It's actually a money tactic!

Friends, it’s money tactics!

Can you please have more?

"From today on, I'm on your side," Weiwei said firmly, "Mr. C won't mind. He will definitely be happy to see it happen!"

I don't know why, but after saying this, Weiwei felt as if an invisible black pot fell from the sky and hit the head of her white-haired beauty. Moreover, the other person's head was already hit by countless pots.

[You completed the follow-up quest "Matchstick Malone's Identity": Batman's Identity]

[You completed the "Batman's Identity" derivative follow-up mission: Cooperation with Batman]

[You received rewards: 100 diamonds, 8 million gold coins (it is expected that the gold coins will continue to increase in the future and cannot be counted)]

Batman laughed meaningfully, neither saying he believed it nor saying he didn't believe it.

Weiwei snapped her fingers and said, "There is no open resistance in the city right now, and we don't need Batman to guard the city at night. Not for now... We can all devote ourselves to building the city."

An almost tangible question mark appeared above Bruce's head: "What happened?"

"The city has sleepless guardians, not just one," but a number that can almost form an army, Weiwei spread her hands, "Those who want to destroy the city are temporarily locked up in a special prison. When they let themselves go, they can get out. I say, this month is going to be very difficult."

"...Can that rose wait for Harvey for a month?" Bruce only asked this question.

It seems that their "trust" talk is still useful. Weiwei wrinkled her nose and said, "Okay, I have a special way to save it."

Save in system space where time does not flow.

The two looked at each other, and Vivi snorted. She temporarily added the three "identities" of Batman, Bruce Wayne and Matchstick Malone to the friendly list of the manor. After confirming that this guy was not an "intruder", the "Sun Knight" released Bruce.

The black-haired, blue-eyed burly man in front of her was wearing the gardener's uniform he wore when pruning roses. But as soon as he appeared, Weiwei pushed him on the back and pushed him out of the house, sending him out in an unyielding manner: "I think we are both reluctant to explore each other's little secrets, right? The manor is closed to you. I will visit Wayne Manor during the afternoon training time!"

After sending the money sponsor out of the door, Weiwei put her hands on her hips, stared at the door in deep thought for a long time, and said to herself: "Great... The contracts with Nightwing and Catwoman have ended, and I have learned most of the skills. Next--"

"I'll go it alone from now on!"

Gotham's new vigilante, Night Watch, is officially working alone. No one says that being a vigilante means you have to be tied to the Batman, right?

Staring at the thick fog in front of him, Bruce shook his head, took off his coat and held it in his hand, confirmed the direction, and simply walked to Wayne Manor.

Anyway, the distance is not far.

During this time, he was also observing Gotham as it passed overnight... The sun had risen, but as usual it was hidden behind the clouds. The light that shone through the dark clouds was dim, and the city didn't seem to have changed at all. Looking far away, there were no sudden explosions, no tall buildings collapsing, and the expressions of passers-by didn't seem strange... No, it seemed that there was...

They looked very anxious, and were still muttering words like "candy wrappers" and "balloons". They even ignored the rich man walking by. Maybe the average billionaire would not dress like a gardener.

He had to confirm the missing list, so Bruce quickened his pace. According to Vivi, there must be more than one person thrown into prison, but a large number of people - because Bruce was very confident about the number of criminals in Gotan.

Bristol County is filled with a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. It is far away from the city center, so disasters rarely strike. People live at a slower pace and are mostly friendly and enthusiastic. It is a rare place in Gotham that is not very "Gotham".

Suddenly, Bruce heard a cry of surprise—

It was the screams of the people around him. Something fell from the sky, casting a large shadow. He raised his head and his pupils shrank slightly: a gargoyle statue turned into a real living creature that could fly, just like what he had seen in the surveillance video, "the gargoyle became active, snatched away Vivi's body and flew away." This scene reminded him of the moment he saw the video. Bruce rolled on the ground to avoid the claws of the gargoyle, then put one hand on the fence, trying to break the fence with his bare hands to give the monster a blow!

"What are you doing?" a child among the onlookers asked in an innocent tone.

This made Bruce pause, and then the gargoyle floated in mid-air, lowered its head, and showed Bruce the balloon wrapped around its neck.

"Wow!" The crowd cheered!

"Go and untie it--go--" Bruce heard them shouting, "Lucky--"

Bruce: “……?”

He found that the monster in front of him did not attack him, but maintained a gentle movement. Its wings rolled up waves of wind, blowing the onlookers blinded, but they still stayed around expectantly, and some naughty teenagers tried to jump up and touch the claws of the gargoyle.

Bruce hesitated and raised his hand to untie the pink balloon. The muscles under his shirt were tense, as if his hand was not the thin string of the balloon, but the fuse of the bomb.

The gargoyle tilted its head, rubbed his skull with its claws, then spread its wings, and in a few seconds it was just a tiny dot hovering in the cloud.

He put on his playboy smile and looked around: "Can anyone tell me what happened?"
