Soon, the sound of pots and pans clashing could be heard in the house, and through the kitchen window, the family was setting the table, and the cake was already on the table.The mistress of the house was taking the pie out of the oven, and even though she had put the plate on the table through her gloves, she quickly took off her gloves and pinched her ears with her fingers.Batman's focus is not on someone's glamorous wife, but on the cracked pie, which is a blueberry pie, which is not a taste that the Gotham natives like, she should have been married from out of town, and it is a small place.She wears cowboy booties at home, as is customary in Texas, and blueberry sauce takes on a purple color when cooked, a 'clown purple' that Gotham people are generally allergic to, unless they are fanatical believers in that madman.So the purple things I saw in my dreams before, and the wax oil that makes up the nightmares' bodies, are purple because of this?
If you continue to look at it, there is nothing special about it, the family shares the cake, and the children smear Christopher's face with cream, and he just laughs, and the naughty ghost of his own arms is a happy scene.“.”
Batman walked around, he walked along the edge of the woodland, around the house, as if observing something, but said nothing.There is no fixed unit of time in dreams, and in just a moment, the sky in the glade of the forest turns into night, which is a rare sunny day in Gotham, and you can even see the moon.According to these judgments, Christopher's home is not in the city, but in a suburban location near the west side of Gotham.Gotham is surrounded by the sea to the east and south, and it can be ruled out directly, the city has been built to the sea, there is no such house, even if there is a similar residential area on the South Harbor side, but the housing price is definitely not affordable for a construction worker.There is indeed a forest in the north of the city, but Wayne's mansion is located in the north of the city, and the surrounding terrain is mainly sparse mountains, and Batman comes and goes to the city and his own home, and he has traveled many routes, and he has never seen such a house.Then the only explanation is that the house in this dream used to be located in the western suburbs of the city, which is a relatively backward area, but the environment is good.In the short time that Batman was thinking about this, the house in front of him began to flicker.One second it was still the quiet appearance of the days under the sun, and the next second it was the appearance of a raging fire burning in the night, and the two different scenes seemed to have been edited onto the same film by sharp means, and after playing, they kept flashing.But the flashback only lasted for a few seconds, and then stabilized, and what appeared in front of Batman was a burning house, and the smell of burning chemical fibers mixed with the smell of some burnt human flesh was on his face.Batman knew that this was what Christopher had smelled at the time, and that the nightmare was just a reproduction of it all to show himself.At this time, the man was kneeling outside his burning house, kneeling on the side of the road, constantly crying and wailing."
Nope!
No!
This is not true!
Oh, God!
Why did this to me?!
”He didn't seem to be able to accept this reality, but those eyes were staring at the bright flames, as if they wanted to keep this scene firmly in their minds.“.”
The dark figure appeared silently behind the man, or rather behind the nightmare who played the man, the bat-shaped figure was pitch black, and only the two white eyepieces shimmered in the night."
Who is it?
Who set the fire?!
Who killed my family?!
”The man kneeling on the side of the road turned his head and neck a hundred and eighty degrees, and his hideous, twisted face was like a ghost, and he asked the question in a loud voice.The nightmare seems painful, but Batman believes that its pain is not because it can empathize with Insomnia, but because its body is now being remotely manipulated by Insomnia, and it is a marionette for communication.This is bad news, if Insomnia can remotely control other Sleepless Knights to do things for it, then Deathbell's plan to trap it will probably fail.Even if you catch someone, you just catch a microphone, which is useless.So.
Do you still have to attack the heart?"
That's your problem."
Batman looked at him without flinching in the slightest, and even his voice was as calm as ever: "Who do you think killed your family." ”Interrogative sentences, but in the tone of declarative sentences, this is Batman's style.However, the kneeling nightmare did not answer directly, he just melted as quickly as a candle and let out a pitch-changing wail: "Find the murderer, we will see you again." ”With that, everything in the glade changed again, the charred house was back to its original state, everything was peaceful and beautiful, and not far away, a Ford car drove quickly, and the road stretched from under its chassis to Batman's feet.“.”
The Dark Knight didn't move, he just stood there until the man got out of the car, took the cake out of the back compartment, and carried it through his body, and then the corners of Batman's mouth skimmed down.Christopher is repeating that nightmare to himself, trying to help him find the killer.But what about 'insomnia'?
What does it think?
Is there really value in solving this case on your own?
Thinking of this, Batman is faced with a choice, maybe solving this case will make Christopher, who is sleeping in reality, willing to help, but the question is, what can he do?
Can a vegetative person really have an effect on the 'insomnia' that has already hatched?
And if it's all a trap for insomnia, in order to delay yourself, or mislead yourself, then every second you delay here, the situation in Gotham outside will get worse.
The Birds of Prey and the others can only delay the Sleepless Knights who have entered reality to a limited extent at best, and it is unrealistic to rely on them to solve problems, and they must have to go back to the town.Thinking of this, Batman turned to look at the house, saw the family preparing at the dining table through the window, and saw the smiling faces of the children.The corners of his two bent mouths gradually retracted, and the person turned expressionless again.He walked through the beautifully paved courtyard lawn and through the beautiful carved wooden doors of the house, and went straight into the house.If this is Christopher's subconscious memory of that day, then what he saw was not necessarily true, it may be that he wanted to convince himself that his home was set up that day.When looking for clues, it is necessary to determine which clues are false clues and which are uncertainties that the patient relies on to fill in with memory.Only in this way will it be possible to find the truth about the fire and give an answer to the dead.
