"Ah this..."
Linn hesitated slightly, and then started a crazy self-defense mode.
"What does this have to do with me? I'm just an ordinary aspiring young man. I go out to do good deeds without even brushing my teeth. You can't classify me as a criminal."
After patting his head, Lin suddenly realized: "That's right! Downstairs! Just now, two people tried to commit armed robbery. A solid steel rod as thick as a calf almost hit my head. If I hadn't run fast, this would have happened. You won't see me soon.
I said, Gordon, the safety of citizens in Gotham City is so unprotected. As the head of the police department, you have a certain responsibility~
But don’t worry! I won't complain about you. "
Linn was very aggressive and full of lies. He took himself out first and then got Gordon in. After a few words, it turned out that Gordon felt sorry for him.
When he was young, Gordon was a character who liked to do things more than talk. After working with a partner like Old Bat who suddenly disappeared after saying three sentences for so long, how could he have the ability to deal with a bastard like Lynn.
Angrily, he kept pointing his finger at Linn. Gordon looked like this and Linn was afraid that she would not make the old man angry again.
"You! Still! Dare! Say!"
Gordon gritted his teeth and said this: "Are you a citizen of Gotham? Downstairs, right? Those two people just came to my place to report the crime. The murderer was also you!"
"Calm down, relax..."
"This is what you used to scare them! It's all in the testimony!"
Seeing that Gordon seemed really angry, Linn was also a little numb. He probably had been riding downstairs for too long just now, but according to Linn's calculation, there were only more than a thousand people.
"Is your... office area that small?"
"Forest……"
"A joke! It's definitely a joke. If you don't believe me, you can ask him. Bateman can testify for me. It has absolutely nothing to do with me!"
Gordon turned his attention to Bateman, who had been watching the excitement.
Mr. Bateman has never experienced this before. He has always been the team leader, so there is no time when both sides try to manipulate him. So, after weighing the pros and cons, Bateman chose to follow his inner principles and be true to himself.
"That's Linn's ability, he just told me about it."
Lynn regretted it.
He should have pushed Bateman back just now. Anyway, he is a bat and cannot be killed.
"this……"
Lin En spread his hands and began to defend himself: "It was all a misunderstanding... Besides, I didn't cause any casualties or property damage.
oh! Don't deny it, someone must have surrendered to you. This is my credit! "
After shouting a few words, Gordon's anger subsided a little, and he was finally able to stop shouting at the top of his lungs.
After hearing what Lynn said, Gordon snorted angrily: "Huh! Those are misunderstandings. Then let me ask you, is the 28-year-old dead man downstairs also a misunderstanding?
Just because he wants to rob you? Linn, you can completely ignore him as dust, even if...even if you just break his hand! "
Lynn looked back at Bateman. Could it be that when you first came back, you broke someone's hand while stealing bread because Gordon helped you with the idea?
Linn's eyes were too profound. After all, no matter how much the animated emoticon on the mask used his eyes, Batman couldn't translate him into such a long paragraph.
So, as if he lowered his head unintentionally, Bateman chose to turn a blind eye.
As long as I don't see Gordon asking Lynn, then he didn't ask. What is heard does not count. Because recordings cannot be used as evidence.
What does it mean to obey the law?
It has to be Batman.
"Gordon."
Linn stood up, and the expression on his mask turned serious and serious.
"if."
He said slowly: "I mean, what if. What if he really hit me today. What if I couldn't bear the stick and fell down, what if I died in the rain."
Gordon didn't seem to expect that Linn would actually have such a serious discussion with him, and was a little dazed for a moment. Immediately, Gordon also became serious: "Lynn, you have a gun in your hand, you are a superpower, and you can wipe out the entire Falcone force by yourself. This assumption does not hold true for you.
Do you admit it? "
Linn nodded: "I admit it."
He laughed and asked: "Well, let's put it another way. What if he didn't hit me today. What if he hit a mother who was rushing home with her child who had just finished school. What if he hit What about an old man who was struggling to avoid the rain on crutches? What if he hit a disabled person? A child?
Gordon, most people are ordinary people, and their basic requirements for life are not very high or exaggerated.
Safe, safe to die naturally. That's all.
And I am sure that most of the citizens of Gotham are ordinary people.
Do you admit it? "
Gordon's nodding became a little difficult this time: "I... admit it. But... Lynn, there is no such crime in the law as if."
Lynn laughed again, drawing Batman into the debate.
"So, what will happen to me if I surrender today and let Mr. Bateman arrest me?"
Batman's voice sounded thick and low: "With your mental state, you will be sent to Arkham."
Snapped.
Linn snapped his fingers: "So, I will be punished by law, right?"
Gordon: "…………"
"So……"
Linn then said: "Where will I run away from?"
He turned around slowly and looked around Gordon and Batman: "Will I be released?"
"Would I come back and make this mistake again?"
"How else will I be judged?"
"Would I take the initiative to escape?"
"Do I have the ability to become more unscrupulous and take the initiative to retaliate because I am unhappy after escaping?"
Linn asked one question after another, silencing both Batman and Gordon.
It wasn't until Lynn's voice fell for a long time that Gordon's answer came belatedly: "This is sophistry. The tone you base on is always what if, what is possible.
This cannot be used as a standard for legal judgment. "
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Linn hugged Gordon and kissed his forehead excitedly.
But the kisses were all on his own mask.
"I'm assuming. That's right. Gordon, let me ask you a question."
Gordon did not answer Linn, but stood alone in the wind, his clothes being pulled and swayed gently by the night wind on the top of Gotham's tallest building.
Once upon a time, this thin old man was also the real one-on-one king of Gotham.
Slowing down his tone a little, and rarely, Linn made himself appear less aggressive.
"Gordon, you must have read the files before coming here. You must know the two young men who escaped from me very well.
Have they committed any crime before?
Okay, you don’t answer, that’s okay. "
Linn's voice gradually became cold and callous, as if he was broadcasting some insignificant office supplies: "They must not have made any big mistakes, because they themselves are incompetent, don't want to work hard, and are full of hatred for others.
They don’t want to make money themselves, nor do they want to watch others make money.
I don't dare to commit serious crimes, but I do things that disrupt other people's lives every day.
They can steal things, not enough to be judged.
They would scream ghostly downstairs all night long, not enough to be judged.
They would stand on the street and insult others, not enough to be judged.
They will drive a broken car, change lanes crazily, and honk the horn crazily. Of course, this is not enough to be judged.
They know this and that... They know too many things...
But, every time. Every time, Gordon, you put them out again. look. "
Lynn held Gordon's hand and raised his hand to point at a group of people driving cars and riding motorcycles in a distant block, filming a convoy of people acting recklessly on the streets.
"How will you deal with them? Use your laws. Will you fine them? Or just don't care at all."
Without waiting for Gordon to reply, Linn put his arm around Batman's shoulders again, as close as a biological brother.
"And you, my great Lord Bateman. You guard Gotham day and night. I am really touched."
Batman didn't move, nor did he open Linn's hand. He just turned to look at Linn: "I just said one thing."
"Hey, what does that have to do with anything? Look, you arrested me in Arkham just like you arrested others.
They ran out of Arkham, and then they went outside to kill someone and set a fire~
Then you grab them again.
Catch and release, catch, catch and release, catch... I feel a little annoyed just saying these two sentences. And you. "
Bateman looked at Linn and said: "I understand what you are going to say, and I have also thought about this issue.
But if you kill them, will you also fall into darkness one day, Lynn? "
"Yo ho!"
Linn let out a strange scream and jumped in front of Gordon. With a neck-hugging movement with his feet off the ground, he moved himself into the arms of Gordon who was at a loss.
Still a special code princess hug.
"It's up to our good friend, Mr. Gordon, to answer you with his knowledge.
Mr. Bateman, the law does not talk about ifs or possibilities. I can't stop walking just because I might end up on a certain road, right? "
Gordon nodded with difficulty: "Yes. Lynn, I can't hold you, jump to the side quickly!"
"I don't care about these theories or what-ifs."
Batman walked up to Linn and looked directly into Linn's eyes: "I just ask you, if that day really comes, so what!"
Linn was not as excited as Bateman, and just shrugged calmly: "You know the answer, do you need me to tell you again?"
Opening his arms, Linn slowly hugged Batman, slowly and forcefully, and hugged him tightly.
"Just like...I told you back then. If such a day comes, I will welcome you to kill me."
Patting him on the back, Linn showed a big, bright smile on his mask: "I prefer sunflowers. You can plant a few in front of my grave."
A few months ago, in another place, late at night, Batman and Lynn had an almost identical conversation.
That time, Batman asked Lynn almost the same question.
And the answer Linn gave was: If that day comes, I will kill you.
This moment is just like that moment.
He looked at him, and he looked at him.
They once again reached a consensus and confirmed that each other was the kind of ruthless person who could trust their lives.
real! Trust your life!
"Lynn."
The old bat's voice was still low and hoarse. He looked at Lin En and hugged him. He said slowly in Lin En's ear: "Plant some holly trees for me."
"Hahahaha! Definitely!"
Linn slapped Batman on the back, hitting all the armor, which made his hands hurt, so he changed the slap to a hammer, making a thumping sound.
Lin let go of Old Bat almost at the same time. Linn was not as conceited as Old Bat. He hugged Gordon again and kept asking Gordon what flowers and trees he liked.
"Okay, okay, okay, anything will do, including fir, maple, and pine. Lynn, I'm older, so I can't stand your fist."
"Hey~! What are you talking about?"
Linn patted Gordon's shoulder twice, which shocked the old man so much that half of his body felt numb.
"Then, I'm leaving."
Batman said: "There are things I haven't asked you yet. Many things."
Lin En had already started to walk back, waving his hands as he walked: "I'll ask you tomorrow. I'll ask you two again tomorrow. I'll talk to you two before dawn."
"Lynn!"
Batman shouted: "Lend me that cloud for a few more days!"
Linn hurriedly walked back, reaching in from the hem of his clothes as he walked, until he reached Batman, took out the cloud, and handed him a big balloon.
Batman didn't take the balloon: "I can just sit on the clouds and don't need this."
"Farke!"
Lin En remembered that Old Bat was the one recognized by this cloud.
grass! Who is the protagonist?
But... he thought about it carefully and recalled the old bat's record.
Various lantern rings, immunity to neurotoxins, resistance to scarecrow gas, sitting on the chair of the God of Wisdom and successfully getting out of that chair...
Hiss... you really can't afford to offend him. This is the true son of the DC plane, the pure and sole protagonist.
Smacking his lips, Linn sighed and shook his head: "Okay."
After saying that, he walked back dejectedly.
"Lynn, where are you going? Where should I find you?"
"You'll know for yourself in a few days. Someone will tell you."
Closing the door, Linn left the rooftop.
"well……"
Gordon sighed, regardless of whether the rooftop was still wet after the rain, and sat directly on a large square signal light.
"Lynn must have gone out to practice his skills again. I feel like the police station may be packed and explode tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, Gordon glanced at Batman, who was staring at the clouds in a daze, and said softly: "I know what I insist on is definitely right. But..."
"But Lynn has a point."
Batman took over: "You, me, him. The three of us have always had the same goal, we just have different methods.
As much as I hate to admit it, I have to say that we have always needed Lynn, but Lynn has never needed us. "
Gordon thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No. He needs us. He always needs us.
He needs someone to remind him in which direction he should deviate and not in the opposite direction. "
"Well... you're right..."
Gently patting the cloud, Batman whispered to himself: "You and I are the same..."
A gust of cool wind blew over, and the clouds in the sky dispersed, revealing a touch of white in the distant horizon.
"Is it dawn..."
Batman whispered softly.
Well, I succeeded!
Happy New Year everyone!
