The Asylum of All Worlds

Chapter 24 Bottom Line, Vow

In a certain plane, there is such a sentence.

"Those who fight dragons, be careful not to become dragons. When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes into you."

This passage sounds very mysterious, cool, magnificent, and vague at the same time. People just read these words together and feel the breath of the Second Secondary School, but they seldom really understand this sentence. meaning in words.

Because this is not a statement, but a question. It is asking: What is the difference between a brave man and a dragon?Is there really a difference between the inside and outside of the abyss?

The same sentence pattern can also replace millions of different doubts.

What is childish and what is mature?

Are there right and wrong sides who abuse each other?

In the eyes of the beast, are humans also beasts?

What is the difference between a person who uses violence to punish a criminal and a criminal?
Well, these questions are too deep and too empty, so let us return to Gotham, to the night of this crime city, and to many years ago, a man who was also dubbed the "weird" Guy Batman.

Everyone knows that Batman can't kill.

He may smash your limbs into pieces, he may beat you into a dementia, he may throw you into a black gate prison where you can be crippled alive, he may leave you permanently disabled and miserable, but he will not kill.

You can think that this is a second-year paranoid adhering to the heart of a false virgin. Of course, you can also understand him with a simpler idea, because not killing people is his bottom line.Because he wants to save this city. Although the place has been filled with crime, he always believes that as long as there is one person who can stick to the so-called justice, then the city can still be saved.

Well, in fact, from a certain point of view, this is a very distorted psychology, because the so-called justice is basically a fictional illusion, but it is also this kind of psychology that makes him a person full of crimes. The "hero".

Yes, full of sin, as I said before, Gotham City is an abandoned city, there is only sin here, and everyone here is a sinner.So does Batman, of course.He is an extrajudicial sanctioner with no police certificate and no arrest warrant.He showed violence in the dark night, and everything he did was not allowed by the law. Like all those weirdos, he wore strange clothes and painted makeup that couldn't see his face. Even he was even weirder than those weirdos, because His costume is far more cool than any super criminal.Speaking of which, he seems to be no different from the criminals he fights except that he does not kill or rob.And he doesn't rob because he doesn't have to.So not killing people seems to be the only kite string that can hold him back from falling down.

Yes, he can indeed kill, and he even wants to shoot those criminals every second.

But after that?
Kill the next one?
next one?
This is Gotham. If you want to get rid of the evil, there is only one way, which is to blow up the whole Gotham. No one will be left.

That is not salvation, but slaughter.

So as long as Batman kills someone, he is no longer Batman, but a murderer with no bottom line, he is more terrifying than any criminal
So on that night... all the super criminals in Gotham were dumbfounded.

They saw the girl named Harley Quinn lying in a pool of blood. Her graceful figure could make any man with normal physiology swallow his saliva.

And beside her, stood a monster, a monster wearing a black cloak that almost merged with the night.

Batman, kill!

At that moment, the sins accumulated for a whole life began to drag this self-proclaimed righteous person to degenerate, resentment, hatred, madness, and thousands of emotions swallowed him the moment the kite string was disconnected.

A demon is born.
At that moment, all the super criminals realized that Batman had to be killed, there was no other choice!

But how to kill?

He disappeared into the night again, and no one knew where Batman was.Usually, he always appears from the darkness, breaks someone's bones, and sends him to prison, but from this moment on, no one knows if he will directly rip someone's throat when he appears next time .

The entire Gotham City fell into the most terrifying panic ever.All the super criminals are in hiding, some disappeared, some left Gotham directly, and some are ready to turn themselves in to avoid Batman in prison.

The Penguin sits in front of Ziliang and talks about these things.

"So... that's why you criminals suddenly disappeared eight years ago?" Ziliang frowned and said, "No, if it's just like this, then Gotham shouldn't be what it is now."

Penguin nodded: "Of course it's not that simple, because there is not only Batman in Gotham City, but also another person joker!" He said, and then seemed to be caught in another memory.

After that night, Batman hasn't appeared for a long time, but everyone knows that it's because he has carried too many sins. The birth of a hero is extremely difficult, and the birth of a demon naturally takes time.

At this moment, the clown appeared.

No one knew what he was thinking, in short, he didn't hide like other super criminals. Instead, he appeared at the main entrance of Wayne Building with great fanfare.
It was at noon, and he frantically shot at the crowd at the gate of Wayne Building. No one had ever seen such a clown. He was not laughing, but was angry, screaming, and he was cursing crazily, calling Batman a coward !
That day, he planted bombs in the city. No one knows how many he planted, but it is certain that the clown was in a bad mood that day, and a bad clown is enough to blow up the entire Gotham.

The way to stop the explosion is very simple, because the clown has a detonation device, just press it lightly.

But the madman swallowed the disabler in front of everyone.

At that time, people finally realized that he was luring Batman out... and luring Batman to kill himself.

"What happened after that?" Ziliang seemed to have finally raised some interest. His eyes flicked across the notebook quickly. It was hard to imagine how fast his reading speed was. He opened his mouth, his breathing was a little short, and his face was still flushed with excitement.

"And then." Penguin continued, "and then Batman showed up, and he came out of the Wayne Building in broad daylight, in the sun. But he wasn't wearing that suit, and he wasn't wearing a mask at the time. I was also there, maybe the ordinary citizens and the police didn't understand what it meant, but at that time, I already knew that Bruce Wayne was Batman."
