Chapter 2864

Boom!

Schiller, who had just gotten out of the car, looked back toward the interior and said, "Did you hear any commotion?"

Batman looked thoughtfully toward the direction of the chemical plant, but he didn't say anything and walked into the airport with Schiller.

Cat Getan's airport was usually very busy, but for some reason, there were few planes tonight, and the number of takeoffs and landings was low. After asking a staff member, they found out that the control tower had been damaged by a laser, and most planes had diverted to Metropolis.

Of course, theoretically speaking, plane landings didn't necessarily require a control tower, especially when there weren't many planes; landing by visual observation wasn't impossible. It was just that most captains didn't want to take that risk, so naturally, very few planes chose to land there.

Schiller and Batman both thought this was a good opportunity. Since the tower was broken, let it stay broken for a few more days.

They hurried toward the tower, preparing to tamper with it again to ensure it wouldn't be fixed for a while, when they heard one commotion after another coming from the skyline.

Batman looked back and was the first to see that red and blue figure. He frowned; Superman was indeed unreliable. Well, Wonder Woman was also unreliable, and Green Lantern was also...

The ones flying in the skyline were indeed the Justice League, but shouldn't they be accompanying Batman on his adventure in the ancient city?

Schiller seemed to have anticipated this. In fact, he never felt that anything in this world would go according to the script.

The Justice League flying over didn't seem to be looking for trouble with anyone. Superman, who was flying in the front, seemed to have been trying to intercept something all along. The main universe Batman saw from afar a cloud of dust rising from the ground, as if a behemoth was rushing over.

When they rushed in front of them, the main universe Batman discovered that the thing running in front was the Joker, and the thing chasing behind was Batman.

The main universe Batman was quick-witted and zipped behind the tower building in a flash. He hadn't forgotten that he was currently the evil clone Batman. If the local Batman saw him later, he might not bother with the Joker and come looking for trouble with him instead.

But fortunately, the local Batman didn't even look at him, chasing the Joker with sparks and lightning. He didn't even notice Schiller and Tim standing nearby. The look in his eyes when he saw the Joker could simply be described as pure hatred.

Then they noticed that the Joker was carrying something in his hand—to be precise, he had grabbed a person, and that was Dick.

Was there something wrong here? How did Dick end up with the Joker??? Tim was a bit confused. He watched Batman chase the Joker from one end of the tarmac to the other, always feeling like someone had taken the wrong script.

The Joker was running in front carrying Dick, and Batman was chasing behind with batarangs. At first, they were running back and forth, but later, the Joker carrying Dick couldn't outrun Batman at all, so he started looking for cover.

The tower nearby was considered decent cover. As soon as the Joker turned a corner and ran behind the tower, the main universe Batman saw him coming and had no choice but to give up this cover and start running out as well.

As a result, as soon as he ran out from behind the tower, he was seen by the local Batman. The local Batman roared, "Evil clone, I knew you were the one behind this!"

He turned a corner and went after the main universe Batman.

Could the Joker let that happen? He had finally provoked Batman's hatred, only for it to be attracted away by this damn guy. So, carrying Dick, he chased after them too.

The situation was completely out of control now, because the main universe Batman wouldn't choose to run on such an empty tarmac. After being targeted, he dove straight into the terminal building.

It just so happened that at this time, the airport was in a semi-paralyzed state due to the tower problem. There were no security guards or staff, and he really did rush in just like that.

The three of them chased each other, running forward along the boarding gates. Schiller wanted to intercept them, but couldn't catch up. The Justice League members behind just wanted to fly in when they discovered that a plane was actually attempting a blind landing, and it wasn't even aligned with the runway—it looked like it was about to crash.

The few of them couldn't care about getting involved in the Joker and Batman's grievances and hurried to act as a manual control tower.

The two Batmen and the Joker circled around the terminal building and finally ran back to the international terminal exit, where they heard one commotion after another coming from the exit.

As soon as the exit door opened, both sides were stunned.

Leading on this side were two Batmen wearing pitch-black Batman suits, followed by a Joker, with Dick tucked under the Joker's armpit.

Leading on the opposite side was a couple. The man was wearing a floral shirt, beach shorts, flip-flops, and sunglasses, and was holding a sun hat in his hand. The woman was wearing a bohemian spaghetti-strap dress and carrying a straw handbag.

"Dad, Mom?!!!!"

Both Batmen said in unison.

Don't ask how the main universe Batman recognized the block-figure parents; the answer is that his parents dressed like that when they went on vacation.

The local Batman, however, was completely stunned. Looking at Thomas, who had taken off his sunglasses, he turned into a stone statue on the spot. The Joker poked him lightly, and he shattered.

"Oh, dear little Bruce." Martha stuffed the bag in her hand to Thomas, rushed up, hugged Batman, and said, "Long time no see! How have you been lately? Dad and Mom have missed you."

Following Martha and Thomas out were the previous generation of superheroes, and then the members of the Justice League. They surrounded Batman tightly, seemingly wanting to find out from him what was going on.

Superman walked up first, looked at Batman, and said, "Can you explain to us what's going on? Aren't your parents..."

Wonder Woman also stopped mid-sentence. The others in the Justice League were all confused. They had always heard that Batman's parents were both dead, but now the Waynes were standing right here, and they looked quite energetic. What was going on?

Martha let go of Batman and looked him up and down, saying, "You seem to have lost a little weight. How have you been lately? Have you been taking good care of the house?"

"Um, this is..." Thomas looked at the main universe Batman.

The main universe Batman took a small step back and said, "I'm the evil clone."

Then he turned his head and asked Schiller in a low voice, "What's going on?"

"I told you already, how could anyone really die in a universe with this kind of comedic style? The Waynes and the previous generation of superheroes just went on vacation."

"Then what about the recovery plan?"

"Are you sure the recovery plan really involves throwing yourself into a chemical pool to melt?" Schiller raised a key question and said, "Have you ever really seen anyone do that?"

Batman thought about the day he saw a chemical plant employee throw something into a chemical pool, and then some things were output, but he really hadn't seen what those things were.

"So these are actually two completely different things?" He lowered his voice even further and said, "The recovery plan has nothing to do with the chemical pool?"

At this moment, Thomas had already started to explain. Facing Superman's questioning, he said, "Yes, we did discover at the time that there was a life factor in our bodies that could be used for self-repair."

"Then the recovery plan..."

"Is just going on vacation." Thomas said, "According to our research, if you consume a large amount of the life factor used for repair in a short period, the production of the life factor will slow down. You must go to a quiet environment to recuperate, so we decided to go on vacation with our old friends."

"But... wait, then why didn't anyone tell me?" Batman finally came to his senses.

Who knew that Martha and Thomas would suddenly be stunned. Martha blinked and said, "We told Alfred, didn't he tell you? We even made a video call to you, but Alfred said you were too busy..."

Batman couldn't help but recall the period when his parents had just "passed away."

The disappearance case of the Waynes back then was indeed sensational, and the Cat Getan Police Department had mobilized a large number of police officers to investigate. Batman himself was also busy investigating what was going on. He remembered that Alfred had stopped mid-sentence several times, but Batman hadn't listened to him.

To be precise, every topic would be steered by Batman toward himself. He kept talking about his future plans, talking about how he was the night, he was vengeance, he was Batman, explaining his ideas for making equipment.

And every time Alfred asked him if he had time, Batman would of course say no, just like when Superman asked him if he had time to attend a party.

"Sorry, little Bruce. We had no way to tell you directly at the time because the superheroes of this generation had made quite a few enemies. We had to leave quickly and secretly, and we couldn't be prepared in advance. We had to act on the spur of the moment so that no one would discern our plan."

"Of course, we also knew this might make you sad, so we specifically instructed Alfred. It seems he raised you well, but not answering our calls is not a good habit. Let's go, let's go home and see how the manor is doing."

Batman stood stunned on the spot, still recalling every conversation he had with Alfred.

Actually, his way of communicating with Alfred before was no different from his way of communicating with Superman and the others. Two sentences into a meeting, he would start talking about how he was before, and then immediately start talking at length about his own affairs. Alfred would finally find a gap to say a word or two, only to be steered back to his own affairs by him again.

So this was the reason he missed the truth about his parents' departure?!

"No, no, no, wait." Batman suddenly called them to a stop and said, "We can't go back now."

Batman thought that if they chose to go back now, Alfred would definitely tell Thomas and Martha about Batman's past behavior.

If Thomas and Martha knew that he hadn't communicated with Alfred because of his own arrogance, and thus thought they were dead, he would be completely finished!

But if he said he knew his parents weren't dead, how would he explain it to his Justice League partners?!

Batman immediately looked at Schiller with a look of seeking help.
