Chapter 269 Poor Bane, manipulated at will
"You're trying to play with me."
Bain said, "More muddy faces!"
"Everything I've said is true. You have your own brain and the ability to think, so you can verify whether what I've said is true or not."
Chen Tao said:
"You investigated your mother's life, didn't you? I bet you discovered that there was a man who was very important to her in her life, and they were together for many years."
Chen Tao slowly began to recount the profile Bain had made of the man who was suspected to be his father:
"The man who lived with your mother was an American, a doctor by profession. He may have had a military career, and he was very strong. Based on the descriptions of him from residents who had contact with him, you can only piece together a rough picture of him as a mild-mannered person. But where is he from? And where is he now?"
"You didn't find any useful information, you only learned the man's name..."
"Thomas." x2
Bain let out a low sigh: "But I never thought that Thomas, it might be Thomas Wayne, because—"
"Someone told you that a local priest might have the only photo of your mother and that man together, but when you rushed over..."
"But the priest told me—"
"But the priest told me—"
"That's right," Chen Tao said. "Someone found out about that place more than half a year ago and bought that old photo for $52. The person who bought the photo called himself Matchstick Marlon, but his real name is—"
"Bruce Wayne!" x2
"Damn it!" Bain said, "You took that photo, cutting off my trail!"
Enraged, he grabbed Batman by the collar: "After losing that lead, I wasted over three months aimlessly wandering the countries around the Caribbean! Why didn't you ever tell me you did that?"
"This way, I can easily bring this up when needed, using it as a trump card to morally blackmail you into doing things for me," Chen Tao said sincerely.
"It's no use. DNA testing can tell me the truth," Bain said. "Just because your father and my mother were here doesn't mean—"
Then he saw Chen Tao's head begin to twist and deform right in front of him, turning into a giant dinosaur head—this came from the bat dragon he had already installed, then into a car computer with a built-in LCD screen, and then back into that real bat head—this was a transformation he could freely use after being injected with human-faced bat serum.
"DNA testing?" Chen Tao said, "That's impossible."
That's impossible. Chen Tao is no longer a pure Batman, or rather, a pure Bruce Wayne.
Loading is a perverse transformation that uses something existing in this universe to permanently imbue Chen Tao with the characteristics of a certain Batman. So, although Chen Tao still appears to be a normal human on the surface, he has long since lost all connection to humanity.
There are still three mother boxes neatly stacked inside his belly!
He can still bleed now, but that blood already contains dinosaur and bat genes, so DNA testing won't detect anything.
As for Thomas Wayne?
He's a giant zombie now. You can order him to dance, read the newspaper, or put a roadblock on his forehead to help you attack Dave's house and eat the homeowner's brain, but you can't use his blood for DNA testing.
In other words, unless Damian Wayne suddenly appears in front of Bane, neither of the two remaining members of the Wayne family are normal humans, and Bane cannot use anyone for DNA testing.
Bain immediately realized this, and his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
Chen Tao knew that Bain had an unusual obsession with his family, which might be related to the fact that he had no father or mother since childhood.
In the original comics, Thomas Wayne is indeed not Bane's father. After Bane discovers that his mother had an affair with Thomas Wayne, he comes to Gotham City to find Batman. After a DNA test confirms that they are not brothers, Bane leaves Gotham City peacefully with Batman's financial support.
In the end, he did find his father, "King Snake," a vicious cult leader. No matter how you looked at it, this guy was involved in everything from selling books and killing people to being a gangster—he was utterly despicable.
His early life was full of failures, and the only commendable experience was his crushing defeat at the hands of Lady Shiva.
But even such a wicked guy like Bane still works for him, simply because Kingsnake is his biological father.
Although Bane did eventually take action against Kingsnake in the end, as a top-tier villain in Batman's story, his obedience to his father is a characteristic that makes him susceptible to manipulation.
Chen Tao originally intended to use this vulnerability to prevent Bane from rebelling in case he used Bane when dealing with Brainiac.
To his surprise, after he told Bain that "I have no one else to entrust with but you," Bain actually helped him honestly. So, he didn't end up using this trump card. But he didn't reveal it directly either, just in case it might come in handy later.
So now it's a situation where "it will be useful in the future".
"But even so, I won't help you." Bain held the photo, stared blankly for a moment, and then said decisively, "I've already been bossed around enough by you..."
Then he saw Batman staring at him expectantly. Good heavens, can any normal person imagine Batman staring with eyes the size of a washbasin?
Wait, the size of a washbasin?
It was truly the size of a washbasin. Chen Tao revealed part of his bat-dragon transformation, with green scales encircling his forehead and nose, and his eyes perfectly recreating the appearance of a dinosaur—
However, these eyes, the size of a dinosaur and the size of a washbasin, are placed on the forehead of a human with normal proportions.
The horrifying scene was indescribably terrifying and bizarre, and the fact that the other person was blinking made it even more unsettling.
Chen Tao stretched out his finger, and with a flash of silver particles, countless tiny black nanobots flew out from his fingertip and then split into two in the air.
Both nanobots flew to the pair of dinosaur eyeballs, each the size of a washbasin, that Chen Tao had conjured earlier, and then lined up to form two English words on the surface of each eyeball:
help and me.
After completing this step, he turned to Bane, his large eyes flashing brightly. "Please help me! Can you really bear to see your own brother die? This is all for justice—no, for your brother's and father's cause!"
Bain: "..."
"The Earth is on the verge of destruction, do you really think you can still quietly give lectures and conduct experiments in the Himalayas?"
Bane let out a long sigh of relief; Batman's voice was still ringing out:
"Besides, I'm only here to get your rotten black corpses to do some work for me; you don't need to do it yourself."
Please help me.
Bane gasped, turning his head away, not wanting to see the absurd sight of this "Big-Eyed Batman".
"That's enough!"
He muttered, "You win."
As he said this, he spoke almost through gritted teeth:
"I'll help."
A few minutes later, Chen Tao and Bain, now back to normal, appeared before their group of disciples, neatly dressed.
"I have something to do; I need to go with Batman."
Bain said.
