"You know a lot…" Clipper looked at Feng Bujue with a meaningful expression, "Mr. Clown."

Brother Jue tilted his head, shrugged and replied, "Don't waste time, Doctor, start it up…" He winked at the circular console a dozen meters away, "...let's see...the true 'faith' buried deep within Gotham."

"Hey! Brother Jue!" Just then, Xiao Tan's shout came from behind.

Everyone looked back and saw Xiao Tan and Xiao Ling running towards them.

"Well, you're just in time." Feng Bujue muttered, "Are you guys alright?"

"Ah...it's a long story..." Xiao Ling sighed, glanced at Xiao Tan, "Anyway, the Two-Face impression was quite successful."

"To avoid being tracked, we parked the stolen airship a little further away, then walked over, so we were a little late than the agreed time." Xiao Tan continued.

Because this cave would block electronic signals, he and Xiao Ling couldn't contact their teammates here with the communicator during that time, so Xiao Tan briefly explained the situation.

"Can I start now?" Clipper had already been busy at the console for a while and successfully turned on the power to the device.

"Please do, Doctor." Feng Bujue said, and immediately turned back to Joey behind him, "Joey, the following content is very important, you must remember it word for word."

"Huh? Oh..." Joey didn't understand what the other party meant, but he responded anyway.

Before he finished speaking, Dr. Clipper pressed a button on the console, and at the same second, a video appeared on the main computer screen in front of everyone.

In the picture, an avatar emerged. It was a handsome middle-aged man whose eyebrows were filled with a vicissitudes and fearless temperament.

"No matter who you are, no matter what era you are in, I just want you to know..." he said in a low, magnetic voice, "...I plan to permanently seal this cave." He paused, "But since you see this video, I think...you have successfully found my home." His deep gaze trembled slightly, "Forgive me for having to make such a lengthy statement to officially begin to say what I want to say..."

At this point, the man took a few steps back, and then his upper body was completely presented in the lens – he was wearing a Batsuit.

"Bruce Wayne!" Joey and Maya exclaimed almost simultaneously.

"Shh—" Feng Bujue whispered quickly, "Keep listening."

Bruce Wayne on the screen, at this time had picked up his cape and stared at it for two seconds, then opened his mouth again: "The oppressed and the desperate must be protected, I have done my best..." As he spoke, he put on the cape, "...whoever inherits this cape, I hope he can continue to work towards this. Avoid unnecessary revenge, endless violence, and the so-called legendary false name... Fight for the truth." His tone revealed a firmness, and a trace of determination to die, "I...am about to face the final battle, this may be my last words. He's coming... I can hear his footsteps." As he spoke, he put on the Batman mask, "I know... The Joker is outside the door!"

Bruce Wayne's statement ended here, after saying this, he shook open his cape, turned and left the camera, and the recording ended.

Except for Dr. Clipper and Feng Bujue (both of whom had seen this video, but one was watching it in person, and the other was watching it in the comics), the other five people present all showed rather complicated expressions.

"What happened after that...?" Joey asked first, "Did Batman die?"

"Yes." Clipper said, "He and the Joker died together." He raised his hand and pointed to the side, "See that life-size wax figure of the Joker? That's a specimen I made with the real Joker's body."

When everyone heard this, they turned to look. In the direction the doctor pointed, there was indeed a wax figure of the Joker. The specimen looked quite realistic, from the perspective of the NPCs, it was almost exactly the same as Brother Jue (the Joker).

"I made him stride forward, leaning over and holding a gun, it's quite interesting, right?" Clipper laughed.

"Bruce Wayne?" Joey continued to ask, "Did you make him into a specimen too?" As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the four or five Batman specimens next to him.

"Hehe... unfortunately, I couldn't preserve his body." Clipper said, "Bruce Wayne's death was much more tragic than this Joker's, according to my analysis of the scene... it wasn't a fair fight at all, because Mr. Wayne didn't seem to intend to kill the Joker, but the Joker tried everything to kill him."

"Batman won't kill people." Feng Bujue interjected, "This is one of the principles set by Bruce Wayne, if you can't abide by this, then you can't be called the true successor of the cape." Brother Jue's words seemed to be explaining to everyone, but in fact he was speaking to Joey.

"Then... what happened later?" Joey asked Clipper again.

"War." Clipper replied, "Chaos." He relit a cigarette and continued, "Several Robins... I mean the real Robins, and some other heroes, stood up. They fought with those super criminals, and the result was the destruction of most of Gotham..." He shook his head, "This war lasted for many years, until a person stood up, he was a direct descendant of Bruce Wayne, that is, the current the_Bruce..."

The doctor exhaled a puff of smoke: "Phew—do you think he's a tyrant? Well, he is indeed a tyrant, but he did what the 'heroes' couldn't do. He won the war..." Clipper coughed twice, "He killed all the super criminals in the city at that time, and their descendants..." He paused, "Except for you, Mr. Collins, hehe... I think my master wanted to leave himself a challenger or something... Who knows?"

"What are you talking about!" Joey had been an orphan since he was a child, and this was the first time he had heard about his background, and he was shocked.

"He's telling the truth, you are a descendant of the Joker." Feng Bujue said from the side, "It's ironic, isn't it? When the descendant of the Bat becomes an authoritarian ruler, the freedom fighter who comes out to resist him is actually the descendant of the Joker."

"I... am a descendant of the Joker..." Joey's heart was filled with mixed feelings, and he muttered to himself.

Maya raised her hand and gently stroked his shoulder, wanting to calm him down, this was all she could do.

"But after all... the era of tyrants should pass." Clipper continued, "The laws of history are in front of us... when contradictions accumulate to a certain extent, a change is needed." He sneered, "From the current point of view, I think... overthrowing that old tyrant would be a good start."

"You also want to overthrow the_Bruce's rule?" Joey calmed down a little and asked immediately.

"Hehehe... that's obvious." Clipper laughed, "In fact, I was already prepared, if it weren't for your appearance, I think... I would have spent another year preparing and tried again in next year's ceremony." He smiled, "However, now that things have come to this, then I will advance the plan."

After Clipper finished speaking, he put out the cigarette butt, and then pounced on the console, and quickly performed a series of operations.

With the operation of his hands, the various hidden or sealed devices in the Batcave were restored to power one by one. In the rumbling sound of the motor, the lights in the entire cave suddenly lit up.

"This is..." Joey widened his eyes and looked forward. In a corner twenty meters away, a whole row of transparent storage containers appeared, displaying various equipment worn by Batman in various periods, "Bat's equipment?"

"It's the equipment used by the real 'Batman'." Clipper corrected, "These should all be designed by Bruce Wayne..." He paused for two seconds, "Even from today's perspective, it's not outdated. Of course... it's still quite difficult to compete with the combat armor on the_Bruce's body."

"Pick a set to wear, Joey." Feng Bujue said at this time.

"What? Me?" Joey looked back at Brother Jue, "What do you mean... I'm the Joker's..."

"It doesn't matter." Feng Bujue interrupted, "You have already heard Bruce's recording, whoever... as long as they are willing to take on his beliefs, can inherit his cape." He said with a solemn expression, "Joey Collins, now you already know who you are, what you should do, and... who will come to help you." He glanced at Maya, "You no longer need to hesitate... take on the mission and do what you should do."
