Bab 436: Little Bruce Wayne
Peter Parker helplessly said, 'Oh No, I forgot to remind everyone, the Quiz game sometimes intentionally releases controversial future videos to confuse us."
"Seemingly correct options are actually wrong, and seemingly wrong options are the correct answers... There have been precedents before, sorry, I forgot to tell you guys"
Bruce Wayne glanced at him, "No, it's not your fault. You've already provided us with a lot of help."
At this moment, Arthur couldn't accept this fact. He nervously scratched his hair, 'Fake? How could it be fake? My mom wouldn't lie to me, and she has no reason to do so!'
Originally, this involved his own and his mother's privacy, and exposure to the public, making him feel very uncomfortable. What's even more unexpected is that this private secret turned out to be fake.
In this instant, Arthur suddenly felt like he wasn't playing the clown but he was truly a ridiculous clown. Unable to control himself, he laughed again, tears and snot streaming, 'Fake, hahaha, it's all fake...'"
"Mr. Arthur, calm down. The truth may not be as you think. Perhaps your mother didn't deceive you, and there might be something she doesn't know about this matter," Peter Parker said as he saw Arthur's emotions on the verge of collapsing."
Bruce Wayne also added, "Watch the follow-up videos; it will reveal what really happened."
Meanwhile, many viewers outside the video were dumbfounded. After the previous question, almost everyone thought option A was the correct answer—a straightforward point-scoring question. However, the results were unexpectedly different, leading some to exclaim, "That poor old lady is actually a liar. It's shocking, but thinking about it, this kind of thing has happened before."
"It's just deceiving my emotions. I sympathized with them just now, and she turns out to be a despicable liar! I knew it; how could Batman's father do such an immoral thing?"
"I say these poor people don't deserve sympathy at all. Why are they poor? Because they're lazy! This mother and son are like that. They don't want to improve their lives through their own hard work, only thinking about deceiving and extorting money from wealthy people. It's a crime!"
Originally, they criticized Thomas Wayne unanimously, but now they turned to blame Arthur and his mother. This was human nature.
Most people's emotions are easily influenced by external factors. Apart from that, the Quiz game releasing videos with close-to-explicit content and then having the opposite result made people feel manipulated, making them even more displeased.
However, for veteran players and longtime viewers of the Quiz game, this setup was not unfamiliar or surprising.
Captain America had an expression of 'I knew it would be like this,' turning to Tony Stark and saying, "See, if we were answering, you would have lost again."
They were also taking a break and watching the live broadcast of the Quiz game. Although neither of them was selected to participate, they tried to answer the questions on the screen.
For the recent question, Tony Stark chose A, and Captain America chose B. In the end, Captain America won, expressing familiarity with the Quiz game's tactic of misleading players. After all, he had been a victim before.
Tony Stark rolled his eyes, "Honestly, I still don't think the old lady lied. I just want to know what the truth is."
After the question and option reversal, many viewers were curious about the truth.
Soon, the video played the correct answer. In the footage, Arthur was alone on a train, casually reading a newspaper to pass the time.
Suddenly, he saw a family photo of Thomas Wayne with the headline: 'Thomas Wayne plans to run for election, Gotham City looks to the future.'
Seeing this, both Bruce Wayne from the Justice League and the one answering the question in the Quiz game shook their heads unconsciously.
In their memories and impressions, his father had never entered politics or participated in elections, always engaging in business activities.
Moreover, with the wealth and influence of the Wayne family, if his father intended to run, not to mention mayor, he could easily aim for the presidency.
It could only be said that this parallel timeline was quite different from the world they knew.
In the video, Arthur's attention wasn't on Thomas Wayne's election news but on tearing off the photo of the wealthy family and carefully looking at it before storing it in his notebook.
Next, the video showed Arthur arriving at a vast estate that looked like a beautiful park from the outside. Through a low wall, he saw a cute and handsome child in a small pavilion inside the estate, curiously observing him.
Undoubtedly, this child was Thomas Wayne's son—Bruce Wayne.
Peter Parker blinked and joked, "Mr. Wayne, you were cute when you were a child."
Bruce Wayne raised an eyebrow, "This is another version of me in a parallel timeline."
In the video, Arthur also recognized little Bruce. In his mind, this should be his half-brother from another mother, right?
He slowly bent down and, when standing up again, a red ball appeared on his nose. This was a prop for playing the Joker, obviously meant to amuse the young Bruce in the mansion.
The two of them looked at each other over the wall. The curiosity of children is strong, and little Bruce becomes interested in Arthur, lured to the mansion's iron gate.
Across the iron gate, Arthur performed a small magic trick for him, turning a stick into a flower and then giving it to little Bruce, asking for his name.
"I'm Bruce," the adorable little boy looked at Arthur with curiosity.
At this point, people also realized that this was how Batman looked when he was a child.
He was indeed cute, but there were already signs of a poker face.
Arthur took off the red nose, "I'm Arthur."
His expression was complex, but his gaze was somewhat gentle. Then he extended his hand, reaching through the iron gate, pinches the serious face of little Bruce, making him 'smile.' 'Much better this way.'
