Chapter 511: The Clown Under the Bat Mask

When Arthur woke up from his sleep, he saw the scene of fire blazing into the sky and thick smoke. He choked and rolled out of bed with snot and tears.

Calling the names of his parents and little Bruce, he immediately ran to the bedroom next door, but as soon as he left the door, he was hit hard by the burned door frame, and he passed out on the spot.

When he woke up leisurely, he was already lying in the hospital, wrapped in gauze. If he moved a little, he would feel a sharp sting. Arthur looked at the clean and tidy ward blankly, unable to figure out the situation for a while. , until the housekeeper, who was also bandaged and carrying a cane, opened the door and came in, Arthur had an ominous premonition in his heart.

The housekeeper was also wearing a hospital gown, with an expression on his face that was both haggard and full of guilt. He looked at Arthur speechless for a long time, and Arthur struggled to ask him, how is the situation at home?

Are your parents and younger brother seriously injured?

The butler remained silent. After a long time, under Arthur's repeated questioning, he revealed the truth. It turned out that several days had passed since the fire. Arthur was seriously injured. After more than twenty Hours of rescue efforts saved his life, but unfortunately, others were not so lucky.

The Waynes were buried in the flames one after another in order to save their two sons from the fire. To make matters worse, their youngest son, Bruce Wayne Jr., also failed to survive and died on the operating table. Now the only remaining member of the Wayne family is Arthur was so alone, and of course there was the loyal butler, who risked his life to rescue the brothers Arthur and Bruce, but only one survived.

The housekeeper felt very remorseful, his voice was choked and his eyes were red as he spoke. Arthur on the hospital bed was naturally even more shocked. He opened his eyes hard and opened his mouth wide, but he couldn't make a sound. There was only a rough gasp coming from his throat.

Why?

Isn't this a sweet dream of mine?

Why should I suffer such pain and torture?

Over this period of time, Arthur has completely integrated into the identity of the eldest son of the Wayne family, and has completely integrated into this beautiful and harmonious family. These are the joys and joys that the former madman Arthur could not experience at all. As a result, now, he has been given another blow.

Arthur couldn't bear such a blow and fell into a coma on the spot. He spent more than half a year recuperating in the hospital and received the best treatment before he was finally discharged. Thanks to the Wayne family's money-making ability, the fire It didn't destroy his body, but it left a deep mark on his face.

In the mirror, Arthur looked serious and slowly took off the bandage. The skin on the lower half of his face was twisted like earthworms. Especially when he was emotional, the thick and obvious earthworms would become congested and red, and even more so. It looks weird and ugly. What's even weirder is that the two largest 'earthworms' curve upward along the corners of the mouth, looking like an exaggerated clown's smiling face.

"clown……"

Arthur stretched out his hand towards the scars on his face in the mirror, but suddenly he jerked back as if he had been pricked by a needle. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "No, from today on, I will It's Batman!"

He picked up the bat mask that had been prepared and placed it on the table and put it on his face. However, this mask could only cover the upper half of his face. His chin and that weird 'smile' were all exposed. .

If his honor were seen by the spectators or players outside, they would be shocked and shout, "It's over, joker has turned into Batman?"

The reason why Arthur made up his mind to become Batman was when he vaguely discovered that the fire in Wayne Manor that night seemed to be just a crazy act of thugs, but there was actually a deeper conspiracy hidden secretly. The Batcave was found in the ruins of Wayne Manor...

He couldn't tell the specific reason, but when he stood in the Batcave and endured countless bats flying past, a path he had never imagined emerged in his mind - I can become Batman!

Since the way that he and his father want to change Gotham is not going to work, then try Batman's way. Under the pressure of revenge and other more negative emotions, Arthur chooses to follow his inner feelings, and at the same time, he can be regarded as a substitute for his own. Let's make up for the regrets of my brother who unfortunately passed away. Gotham can be without Joker, but how can it be without Batman?

Batman is not that easy to be, but with the blessing of blood feud, Arthur can bear no matter how much hardship he has to endure, so he begins his own journey of studying, and it is also this point that Arthur Wayne, Wayne The only survivor of the family completely disappeared from people's sight. Except for his housekeeper, no one has seen a trace of him again.

Arthur spent several years wandering around the world, learning various abilities. He worked very hard, but there are some things that are useless just by working hard, especially some advanced knowledge and fighting skills. These things require Talent, unfortunately, Arthur found that his talent seemed to be average. Even if he studied and practiced day and night, the effect was average.

He was a little desperate. The impostor 'Batman' seemed to be really bad. At this rate, even if he spent his whole life, he might not be able to become the real Batman.

How can we save Gotham with just this ability and talent?

Even avenging a family is enough!

But just when Arthur was in a desperate situation, he found a solution. In the midst of despair and pain, he felt that something seemed to be calling him from deep inside. If he listened carefully to those incomprehensible whispers, Arthur would fall into a strange state.

In this state, his talent and qualifications seemed to have undergone a transformation. What he couldn't understand or practice before, he could now master with just two glances, and quickly mastered, and at the same time he could draw inferences from one example!

But this state also has a serious price. Arthur was overjoyed at first, but soon realized that if he indulged in this state, his mind would be confused and he would want to laugh for no reason...

When he was sick, he wore a bat mask and laughed like a crazy clown.

Arthur immediately realized that what was hidden deep in his heart was extremely dark and terrible. Once released, he would become that crazy psychopath, a monster!

But if he didn't rely on this state, he would never be able to become Batman in his life. No, to be precise, it would be difficult for him to even touch the corner of Batman's clothes.

So Arthur could only learn skills with the help of that crazy and weird state, and at the same time try to suppress him. After experiencing the wonderful life of a normal person, he certainly didn't want to change back to his original self.

More importantly, he now has a firm belief to avenge his parents and brother, and then inherit his father's will and change Gotham!
