Capítulo 183: Chapter 183: Trap
"Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game."
– Babe Ruth
...
"Black Mask, if you've got the guts, come find me! Don't harm the innocent employees of Wayne Enterprises!"
"This is our personal feud, don't involve irrelevant people!"
"I'm right now in the central forest of Robinson Park. If you want to kill me, I'll be waiting here! Don't worry, I won't escape before you come. This live broadcast won't stop until you find me."
"And what about the escaped prisoners from Blackgate Penitentiary? I don't know why you're causing chaos everywhere. Is it for money or revenge?"
"If it's for money, I think I can help. If it's for venting anger, then please come after me."
Bruce Wayne firmly told Black Mask and the other prisoners to come to him.
It wasn't just on the phones of Black Mask and his henchmen that this strange livestream featuring Bruce Wayne appeared.
At this very moment, every single fugitive from Blackgate Prison was watching this livestream.
But they weren't all watching it through their phones.
It was through any electronic device; even if it was not powered on or had no electricity, it was still playing.
The sidewalk electronic billboards, electronic screens mounted on buildings, unplugged TVs in stores, digital cameras, electronic watches...
In short, they saw Bruce Wayne's livestream through various means.
In addition to the thousands of Blackgate Prison escapees, Batman, Robin, Batgirl, Alfred, a few members of the GCPD, and Cassandra also saw this livestream.
Strangely, it seemed that not everyone could see the livestream, even though they were looking at the same electronic devices.
The sudden appearance of the live broadcast on a billboard just a short while ago caused several Blackgate prisoners to become distracted, and the GCPD officers on the other side shot and killed them at the right moment.
These ordinary officers acted as if they couldn't see this so-called livestream and fought against the enemy without hesitation.
Similar situations happened on various streets in Gotham. This technology was new to everyone, and no one knew how devices that didn't have power could play it.
For some top-tier hackers, it was possible to hack into most video devices and play a video at the same time, but how does anyone hack something that has no power?
It was almost like a supernatural event!
At first, even Black Mask didn't want to believe it, but he couldn't verify the authenticity of the livestream.
Most importantly, he had not found any trace of Bruce Wayne among the people evacuating Wayne Enterprises unless Bruce was waiting in the building to die, which was not possible at all.
There was no way Bruce Wayne could return to Wayne Manor.
Black Mask wasn't that stupid.
He had already set up people to ambush Wayne Manor before attacking Blackgate Prison. So far, there has been no sign of Bruce going back there.
He had even had people monitor Wayne Enterprises for a long time and only saw Bruce enter the company; they never saw him leave.
So, the situation remained uncertain as Black Mask pondered Bruce Wayne's invitation.
Now, Bruce Wayne was using some strangely advanced technology and managed to force a live stream while luring Black Mask to Robinson Park to confront him while ignoring anyone irrelevant.
It seemed like bait to attract the Black Mask.
"Let's go! To Robinson Park!"
Black Mask quickly decided that he wouldn't give up the chance to take down Bruce.
He couldn't stop himself, even though he knew it was really a trap.
After all, he had nothing left to lose, alone in the world with no family or friends.
He would take Bruce down with him even if he died!
"What's going on, Batman? Can you hear me?"
Robin was shocked as he watched the livestream of Bruce Wayne playing on his communicator screen. He instinctively contacted Batman.
What Robin didn't expect was that even though the livestream was playing on the screen, the communication function of his device was still active.
Robin knew this was very strange. In fact, there should be no technology that could make this happen.
But it was happening, and the star of the livestream was Bruce!
"Batman! What was that livestream? Are you at Robinson Park?"
At this moment, Batgirl also joined the channel, but she was not sure what was going on either.
Alfred, who was in the Batcave, couldn't hold back his shock.
"I can't believe it! An anonymous hacker even gained access to the Batcomputer and streamed something ludicrously ridiculous."
"What! Not even the Batcomputer was spared?"
Robin and Batgirl exclaimed simultaneously.
"Don't panic!"
At that very moment, Batman spoke, and his voice was calm.
"I'm not in Robinson Park, and I had nothing to do with that livestream."
Batman first clarified that it wasn't his doing, then continued, "I've never heard of any technology that can do this, but not everyone can see that livestream."
"I suspect it's a livestream targeted at a specific audience's consciousness, not the electronic devices displaying it, but our eyes seeing the livestream through the devices."
Batman stopped just a couple of blocks away from Wayne Tower and spoke solemnly.
"I'm heading to Robinson Park now. Take care of yourselves."
As soon as he finished speaking, Batman disconnected the communication and changed his direction towards Robinson Park.
...
On the other side, in a remote corner of Gotham's East End
A long tunnel was full of twisted and collapsed people. A girl around fourteen or fifteen years old was walking quietly through the alley.
Her clothes were clean, without a single tear, not even a speck of dust or a drop of sweat.
She looked like the girl next door who had just stepped out of her house, as if all the people lying on the ground had nothing to do with her.
Suddenly, Cassandra's steps stopped as she noticed a phone that had accidentally fallen out of one of the unconscious people.
The screen automatically displayed a livestream featuring Bruce Wayne.
"That seems to be... the person who was in the hospital when Barbara was injured."
Seeing that face, Cassandra remembered the day when Bruce had spoken to her.
However, why did this seem so strange?
She picked up the phone and gazed at Bruce Wayne on the livestream.
The body language and movements on the video screen resembled those of that person...
Just as countless people were left bewildered or unsure about the sudden appearance of the livestream,
...
Robinson Park, central forest
Dean became alert as his appearance looked a lot like Bruce's.
The mysterious live stream that had just appeared was actually the effect of Dean using a virtual live streaming room.
He had specifically designated the target audience, so only those who met the conditions could see it. Those who didn't meet the conditions would never be able to see it, no matter what.
'This is my first try at doing something like this; I wonder if it will work...'
Dean thought silently to himself.
