Chapter 79 Chapter 79 Who am I? Who are you?
In the brilliance emitted by the magic card, Li Hua lost his sense of his surroundings for a very short moment, and even had a vague sense of weightlessness. He even suspected that he was blinded and dizzy by the sudden flash of light.
But just as this thought came to his mind, he seemed to be back to the world, with a sudden pain in his ribs, a heart that seemed to be pumping blood at full speed, and blocks of color surging randomly in front of his eyes.
It's like eating uncooked wild mushrooms.
Li Hua still had this thought in his mind when he suddenly found that a certain sound was getting louder and closer.
He soon realized what it was; it was bursts of laughter and whispers.
Li Hua couldn't hear clearly, nor did he want to. But they seemed like someone was muttering, like the claws of a deadly ghost, trying to drag him into some kind of abyss. If he listened more carefully, he would be able to hear clearly...
【roll! ! ! 】
The inorganic sound exploded like thunder. The strange sound and the colorful blocks in front of him seemed to be kicked out by some invisible mental barrier. Li Hua regained his clear mind and perspective.
Then Li Hua saw an ugly man with a ragged sack head standing in front of him, while he himself was tied to an iron plate with metal shackles, unable to move, and was displayed in front of the camera like a specimen.
What the hell is this? Is this still Bludhaven?
"Hehehe..." said the ugly man with the sack-head hair, "Do you know what's going to happen next, Mr. Wayne? I won't kill you... I'll let you go."
Wayne?
Li Hua tried to pull his chin back and saw the black bat mark on the proud chest muscles that he never had.
So, he's Batman now...huh?
Wait? He's Batman now, he's not wearing a helmet, and Scarecrow calls him Wayne right in front of the camera!
Is Bruce's vest gone?
They've only been away from Gotham for five days! What happened in Gotham?
Li Hua's frightened eyes pleased Sackhead... Well, actually, Li Hua had guessed from his gas mask, the syringe filled with green liquid, and the familiar feeling on his body that this was the Scarecrow with a new look, but he still decided to call him Raghead... or Sackhead or something.
Tie up Batman and give him injections, and then broadcast him to death. It was very polite not to call this thing a urea bag head.
In short, this rag-headed man took in the terrified expression of "Batman" who was poisoned by the fear gas. He raised his hand with the poison-injected claws, clamped the jaw of the defeated "Batman", forced his head to look directly at himself, and moved forward to make sure that he could see the fear in the eyes of this defeated opponent.
Li Hua: ???
Oh my god! There’s a pervert!!
Get away!! Don't touch me with your dirty hands!!
...Even if it's not my face!
"I will release you, and let you witness the city you swore to protect tear you apart. I will let you watch as everyone you love is captured and killed."
The fear pleased the scarecrow very much. He moved closer, and the wet brim of his hat almost touched Li Hua's nose.
"All the screaming, all the death, is revenge for what Batman did."
“…” The pale and cracked lips trembled, as if saying something.
"I'm sorry, did you say anything?"
The Scarecrow thought that Batman had finally begged for mercy, and he eagerly leaned forward to listen, but all he heard was a powerful voice:
"roll!!!"
A new light burst out from those steel-blue eyes that were once filled with fear. It was not like the quiet but persistent burning in the past, but like a newly lit campfire, hot and blazing.
The emotion in it frightened the Scarecrow so much that he took a step back, as if he was afraid of being burned to death by it.
That's anger.
"You...you still don't understand?"
The Scarecrow's voice was no longer as cheerful and provocative as before. It even sounded like it was soothing or persuading.
"It's all over now."
As for who he is trying to comfort and persuade, only he himself knows.
"Yeah?"
The flames that seemed to be about to burn people seemed to have returned to the steel-blue furnace, but they were still burning, still bright, and still locked on the scarecrow. He was obviously a guy who was handcuffed and was like a fish on a chopping board, but at this moment his voice was filled with a disdainful smile.
"You haven't even dared to push all your fear poison into my veins, Scarecrow. You're afraid of me. You can't even look me in the face. You're still afraid of Batman."
"Because you know very well that you will succumb to fear, but Batman will not. You are afraid of seeing this reality."
The Scarecrow saw a boiling mass of emotions in those steel-blue eyes, but there was no fear. "You...you're not afraid? Why aren't you afraid?"
I'll have plenty of time to get scared after I kill you all.
...Of course I can't say that, after all, I'm wearing the shell of Batman now.
Li Hua felt the magic power in his body and heard the voice of No. 666.
Then, perhaps he still has a way to protect "Batman" whom Bruce is willing to defend with his life, and also protect "Bruce Wayne".
Anyway...it's not Li Hua's face that's being hit now.
And Bruce has done so much to keep the two identities of "Bruce" and "Batman" separate, maybe he will have to thank him later.
Li Hua scoffed, "You're the only one who's scared, Klein. You're no different than a kid who's afraid to go into a haunted house alone, so he drags a bunch of people along to make himself look less embarrassing."
"You said you were the master of fear, and I am your fear."
"...You're still stubborn even when death is imminent!" The defeated Scarecrow injected all the venom in his hand into the man's chest and growled, "You forced me to do this!"
Adrenaline kicked in again, and Li Hua hooked his handcuffed wrists—well, his strength increased.
The fear gas has a really good effect on adrenaline. If you don't consider the sequelae, the frenzy of this buff is really amazing.
Li Hua: "Scarecrow, I'm going to tell you a secret. Believe it or not."
Scarecrow: "What?"
Li Hua tilted his head and chuckled: "Actually, I'm not Batman. I'm just a magic boy passing by."
"Ha! You're talking nonsense now. I know you're still scared!"
The Scarecrow cried out, as if he had found the straw that would save his face.
"It's no use being afraid now. Everyone has seen what's underneath your helmet. Bruce Wayne is Batman, and tonight, both of these identities will die!"
"very good."
Li Hua's smile deepened, and a sharp object with clear edges appeared in the palm of his hand that the camera could not see.
"Remember what you said."
Before the Scarecrow could understand the significance of this conversation, the imprisoned black bat suddenly burst out with a dazzling colorful light, and a pink phantom bud with spinning petals enveloped "Batman" and the entire restraint equipment, and then the bud suddenly bloomed.
The dying black bat was no longer in the center of the pistil.
The pink skirt with white ruffles fluttered like blooming petals, the white stockings rested on the thighs that were strong enough to strangle someone, and the shiny little leather shoes were as red as blood... and the one wearing this outfit was none other than Bruce Wayne, whose smile was as bright as a flower!
At this moment, whether it was the Scarecrow sitting in the first-class seat at the scene, the person who immediately rushed to the sniper point with a sniper rifle after painting a red bat on his chest to try to save the situation, the mayor who was on the phone preparing to issue an arrest warrant for Bruce Wayne to the Gotham Police Department, or the heartbroken Alfred in the Wayne Mansion...
Whether it was the reporters broadcasting live, the Gotham City police, or the countless Gotham citizens who were watching the Gotham News, wanting to see the final outcome of their hometown and its protector, they all stopped what they were doing and shouted in unison:
"ah???"
The shock this live broadcast brought them went far beyond this.
Bruce Wayne smiled sweetly at the camera, or more precisely at the scarecrow facing away from the camera, and then he groaned and suddenly raised his hand!
The strong and powerful forearm broke free in an instant, and the heavy alloy handcuffs that were impossible to break free of with brute force broke like biscuits. Following the guidance of gravity, they fell behind the restraint platform in a standard parabola, with two harsh sounds.
Watching this development from a VIP seat, Scarecrow's eyes nearly popped out of his head: "You...what are you?"
"Don't you know? You said it yourself."
Bruce Wayne jumped to the ground, his face still pale and covered with blue veins caused by poisoning, but the corners of his mouth still had that sweet and kind smile.
“I am Batman.”
"You're not Batman! I've fought him so many times, and he doesn't have this weird ability!"
cried the Scarecrow in horror.
"What the hell are you?"
"Really? I just told you to listen to others."
"Bruce" approached the scarecrow slowly with powerful steps and a bright smile on his face. In his right hand, he took out an angular star-shaped staff from somewhere. Judging from the way the staff struck the palm of his left hand, it seemed that the staff had a special use.
"But it doesn't matter. A good friend of mine once taught me memory recovery magic. Coincidentally, Bruce Wayne is a famous philanthropist and a kind man. I'm Bruce Wayne, so I'm happy to help others."
"Fuck! Don't come over here! Stay away from me!"
The scarecrow raised his gun in fear and tried to distance himself from the humanoid creature, but he forgot that there was a cable for the live camera behind him, and he almost tripped over the cable when he stepped back.
"What on earth are you—Ugh!"
The Scarecrow, whose fate was stuck in his throat and whose hands and gun were knocked away by the Star Magic Wand, tried to knock down the pervert with the only remaining fear poison needle in his hand.
But then he discovered in despair that the sharp needle tip could not penetrate the man's skin at all.
"Don't play with such dangerous things. You will get hurt."
The tone was so gentle, and the hand that crushed the scarecrow's metacarpal bones was so cruel. "Bruce" looked at the painful scarecrow and scolded him.
"Look, isn't this an injury?"
The screaming scarecrow was dragged back to the center of the room, but this time the dominant and passive parties in the picture were completely reversed.
"Stop yelling! How can you listen to me like that? You should listen to others properly. Didn't your parents and teachers at school teach you that?"
The pink hunk "Bruce" grabbed his scarecrow's throat with one hand, pinning him to the metal restraint plate so that he couldn't move, and slapped his cheek with the cold and sharp pentagram of his staff.
"But it doesn't matter, because I'm Bruce Wayne. I have a big heart and will accept helpless children. So I can be your Daddy."
"What a joke... You're not that idiot Wayne, you... You're not even human!" The Scarecrow could only squeeze out a few sounds from his throat. His eyes were filled with fear at this moment: "Who on earth are you--cough!"
"Shhh—I know you have a lot of questions."
The left hand that was originally pinching Scarecrow's throat, making it difficult for him to breathe, was suddenly withdrawn and then pressed down heavily, pressing his entire head onto the metal restraint table that still had some coldness on it.
"But I told you to hold it in, so you have to hold it in."
"Okay, now it's time for discipline."
Along with the sharp edges of the magic wand falling on the scarecrow's head, there was also a voice that had changed its tone due to excitement.
"Scarecrow, Daddy ising~"

The author has something to say:
No. 666: The fear poison is one slap, and the clown virus is two slaps from me.
Li Hua's current status: Broken Jar buff, Magic Girl suit buff, Shame exchanged for Rage buff, Fear Needle Berserk buff x2, Angry buff, Discomfort leading to even more rage buff, Angry buff caused by a pervert touching his face...
We still don't know how many layers of anger and frenzy he has accumulated.
