Chapter 140 Chapter 140 As Taitou thought about it, the frog croaked...
There is an old Chinese saying, "The road is long and difficult, but if you keep walking, you will reach your destination." It means "Although the road is long and difficult, as long as you keep walking, you will reach your destination."
This sentence is very appropriate here.
Even though the three-seater ticket experience was extremely terrible, Benjamin, transformed into a stingray, was flying at the speed of a fighter plane, and the three passengers who faced the storm finally landed safely in the Batcave.
wrong.
Li Hua broke free from the net, and the first thing he did after his hands were free was to take off the wig on his head - this thing had been wreaking havoc on his face like a jellyfish's sting in the past few minutes. He couldn't help but look enviously at Jason's fully covered red hood and the local Batman's helmet that only covered the upper half of his face, including his eyes.
These two guys have helmets, but he is the only one who is really facing the storm with a ball mask!
Even the ball mask was blown away, and no one knew where the white mask was floating in this world now.
"Why don't you become a Kryptonian?" Batman asked. "Wouldn't that be more convenient?"
If it's a Kryptonian, not only will it be faster, but it will also require less effort.
Benjamin said, "Because if I were to become a Kryptonian, I wouldn't be able to carry your spear. And you don't want to see Superman's face again anytime soon."
Batman: “…”
If Benjamin hadn't told me, I wouldn't have guessed he could transform into another alien creature. If I used the same method I used against the Kryptonians against him, Benjamin could definitely use his trick to strike back.
In the end, just for this...reason, we gave up the safer and more convenient method?
In simple terms, the opponent didn't even play his Ace, but Benjamin started to reveal his cards to the opponent.
Batman looked into those emerald green eyes that didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did. After a long silence, he said, "You are not Superman."
Even with the same body and almost the same face, this kid is not Superman.
At least... not his own Superman.
This kid is more like Green Lantern than Superman.
"I never said I was Superman, man."
Benjamin didn't know what kind of ideological struggle Batman had gone through, he just felt helpless: maybe he had eaten too much pizza takeout recently, he even couldn't help but use the urge to make an Italian gesture.
"You've been eating meal replacements!"
Li Hua: "Now we know why Red Hood is so passionate about meal replacements. He's following in his father's footsteps!"
Jason: "He's not my dad, don't talk nonsense! Bruce—I mean the one from my world. Bruce hasn't eaten your meal replacements! You guys, don't confuse parallel worlds with each other!"
Li Hua ignored Jason's protests. After delivering his heartfelt conclusion, he turned to Batman and said, "Just to be clear, I'm not your counterpart."
"Yes," Jason said, "Although he was indeed Bruce Wayne, indeed he was Batman, and indeed he saved Gotham, he is definitely not your counterpart."
Li Hua: Are you worried that this universe's Batman isn't clueless enough?!
"Well, if that's what you mean, I'm the father of your alternate-world counterpart! And yet, to this day, you still refuse to call me dad. Sometimes, you even refuse to get me takeout. What a disobedient son!"
Jason used the built-in transformation device in his helmet to emit a sinister electronic grin. "Sure, I'll tell Bruce when I get home that you want to fight him for custody of me."
"Are you even human? You're suing the parents over a quarrel between children!"
"How am I not a human being? I'm clearly cooperating with you."
"If you're going to cooperate like this, then the Bruce in this world is still Bruce. If he helps write the documents to transfer custody, then you're going to explode, right?"
"No," the local Batman said sternly, "I won't sign it."
The boys paused for a moment, and his son, who was in another world, said, "Why should adults butt in on children's quarrels?" and then continued to quarrel with his friends.
Batman: “…”
Although he is still single and has no children, he can already feel the noise of raising a child.
But... he didn't hate this youthful vigor.
Batman exported all the information about the Joker from the Batcomputer onto a mobile terminal, and then stuffed the terminal into the hands of the most obedient Benjamin: "Here is the information about the Joker in this world, and also his burial location in the cemetery. Don't bother me unless necessary."
He has to deal with the situation after Superman's death. He has to make the truth of the matter known to the world so that people in panic can calm down and be more vigilant.
He also wants to write a letter to send an "insurance" to himself in the world where Superman has not yet taken off his disguise.
So Batman has no time to take care of the child, and no one can help him take care of the child, and Batman doesn't think he can take good care of the child.
However, the three boys were not frustrated by his tone - to be precise, Batman had never felt the word "frustrated" from these three boys since they met.
They didn't care about Batman's tone at all. They walked around the Batcave with their mobile devices in hand and listened to the voice broadcast through headphones, listening to Red Hood's comments on how this Batcave was different from the one at home. It was like they were on a tour.
Batman ignored them and went to deal with his own affairs.
"Guys, this Batman is not right."
After leaving the Batcave, Jason spoke bluntly.
"I'm not talking about that perverted superhero, I'm talking about his living conditions."
The bat cave is actually fully equipped with all kinds of daily necessities. Energy bars, instant coffee, tea bags and other fast foods are piled up in one corner. There is even a microwave oven and a bed in the bat cave.
It's not a platform like an operating table, but a very normal folding bed with bedding on it.
Judging from the traces of life and the production dates of the food, these things have been in the Batcave for much longer than the time Superman was causing trouble.
This means that this Batman didn't just almost move into the Batcave because Superman went crazy, he was already in the Batcave regularly before.
That was unlikely to happen with the Batman they knew.
Because Alfred would not allow the child he watched grow up to refuse fast food in the dark cave, and he would not let the trash can in the Batcave be filled with household garbage without taking it up to throw it away.
The old butler always keeps the house in order and takes good care of all the children in the manor.
In addition, in the eyes of the old butler, this manor is full of children.
Jason: "Combined with what this Batman said before... I can reasonably infer that this Batman not only doesn't have Robin, but also doesn't have Alfred."
Alfred and Robin are the stabilizers of Batman's spirit. This Batman has none of them, so it's no wonder that he places his trust in his best friend Superman.
"And then he was betrayed," Li Hua said. "Let me make this clear, if he goes berserk and attacks us or innocent people, I'm really going to beat him up. Hood, if you can't get over it, let Ben and I take over."
"I know." Jason's voice was muffled. "Damn that big Kryptonian blue guy!"
"Speaking of which, Jason, have you ever had any unpleasantness with Superman?" Benjamin said, "You don't seem to like Superman very much, not just in this universe. When you were back home, you always looked very unnatural when you mentioned Superman."
"...I can't say I hate him, I just... don't like him." If I had to say it, I might be a little afraid of him.
Jason sighed and talked about a past event.
"It all goes back to when I first became Robin and Bruce took me to the Fortress of Solitude to celebrate Superman's birthday. That was my first time to the Fortress of Solitude and the first time I met Wonder Woman."
"I've actually met Superman a few times before, but I never knew him well or was familiar with him. Bruce took me there because he wanted us to get to know each other."
"Then, as soon as we pushed open the door, we discovered Superman was trapped in a fantasy world by some sinister, black, strange flower. A villain then appeared and gave a typical villain speech... I'll skip the details, but in the end, Bruce switched the flower from Superman to himself, and then collapsed to the ground."
The flower can allow the host to immerse themselves in the most desired dream in their heart, and when the flower is picked, the host will undoubtedly suffer a strong psychological shock.
So, when the rookie Jason knelt on one knee beside his mentor and begged the damn flower not to harm the human body, the awakened Superman opened his eyes and angrily asked Jason who did this to him.
"...I told him the culprit was fighting Wonder Woman, and he roared, shaking me off. You have no idea how ferocious his face was when he asked me that question. It was truly terrifying. And..." While I was trying to pluck the flower off Bruce's chest and rush to the scene, he was roaring like an uncontrollable beast, fighting the enemy.
That is indeed scary enough.
Li Hua and Benjamin patted Jason's shoulders with understanding and sympathy.
The sight of Kryptonians fighting each other was terrifying. Even if Jason wasn't a Kryptonian, how old was he then? The first time he was taken by his family to meet an elder, he found that elder beating someone up in a rage. How could that be a good first impression?
It's scary enough to see an elder who's usually calm go crazy, but it's even scarier to see a Kryptonian go crazy. There were no other sober adults around Jason at the time, so it's normal for this to leave a psychological trauma.
"It's okay. That was a long time ago. I'm not so fragile as to develop some permanent psychological problems because of this or get angry at Superman. I just... I'm not that interested in him, okay? I'm more looking forward to what's next than these old, rotten things."
Jason poked the portable engineer shovel he had borrowed from the Batcave into a patch of grassy soil, digging up a large piece of soil with grass roots attached. His face under the hood was filled with an excited smile.
"Don't any of you interfere. I have to dig the clown's grave myself!"
The clown who had a grudge against Jason is nowhere to be found. Although the clown in this world has no direct hatred towards Jason, who cares? The clown in the other world is still a clown!
Besides, he wasn't seeking revenge; this wasn't a test. Jason wasn't digging the grave blindly; he was doing it with purpose, critically, and dialectically.
All of this is for the sake of finishing the exam and going home!
…
"People cannot understand each other. Living environment, race, culture, age... there are always various variables that lead to differences in thinking between people."
Beyond the cracks of time and space, future Li Hua rested his elbows on his knees, with his palms intersecting at his chin, forming a standard spire-shaped gesture.
"And as we get older, we can't even understand ourselves."
Cheng opened a bottle of soda and said, "Please speak humanely."
"How on earth did they think the focus of this exam was on clowns? There wasn't even any mention of clowns in this exam!"
In the future, Li Hua's face is distorted.
"What on earth was I thinking at that time..."
"Don't you remember it yourself?"
"Can you remember the specific questions on a test you took in first grade?"
The small, gray frog-like alien sighed. "That's why I told you long ago: keep the exam simple and clear, and don't overestimate the intelligence of human teenagers."
Although Azmis is small in size, his intelligence is beyond ordinary people and he has long seen through the truth.
The two people who are taking the exam inside, and the one outside, are all idiots!
