"How's it going? I've been preparing these things for a long time."
Luther opened his arms and smiled as he faced the clown and the scarecrow. Of course, he was mainly facing the scarecrow at this time.
Because behind him is a very complete production line.
Through the glass door, you can see all the machinery and equipment inside. They are spotlessly clean and can even reflect dazzling light like a mirror under the light.
The clown strode forward. He lay on the glass with his eyes wide open. His steel teeth were exposed again. He looked very happy.
The scarecrow slowly took two steps closer, and his sharp eyes could be vaguely seen under the linen hood.
Luther turned around, and the three of them looked at the factory hidden in the freighter.
"Although I don't want to boast, in fact I have been preparing these things a long time ago. I have heard a saying called a cunning rabbit's three caves, which means that a cunning rabbit will dig three holes for himself, which is a hiding place.
The more we have, the better we can avoid disasters. The freighter we are on now is one of them. I have sufficient supplies and energy stored on it, and this small factory is the top priority."
As he spoke, Luther looked at the Scarecrow again: "I have heard of your name and deeds a long time ago. I am very interested in your research results. I think it may be an epoch-making product, so it is
Prepared for you."
The Scarecrow didn't look at him, but just said: "You mean, you have thought about robbing prison a long time ago?"
"Prison robbery?" Luther blinked: "Oh, it can be said that Arkham is a good place, but I didn't do much. I just let people mix among the failed gang members and help them out a little.
I got some ideas, and then I was very surprised by their sudden fighting spirit. I wish they had been so enthusiastic when they were annexed and driven away."
Little Scandal turned around and said, "Oh, it sounds like the gangsters in Gotham have encountered some problems?"
Luther laughed: "Of course, while you were away, someone first annexed all the gangs in New York, and then they entered Gotham some time ago. Now there is only one gang in the entire Gotham City."
"Wow!" The clown opened his mouth in shock: "Is that little bat dead?"
"No, he is living well, and he even maintains a good relationship with the master behind this gang."
"He doesn't know about this?"
"No, he knows."
The clown's smile immediately faded, his face darkened, and his whole person seemed to be enveloped in an extremely dangerous aura: "This really disappoints me. Isn't he the Dark Knight? Why didn't you kill that guy?"
"Hahahaha~"
Luther laughed loudly.
The clown suddenly raised his eyes, his gaze as sharp as a knife.
"what are you laughing at?"
"Why are you laughing? Haha, you have been in Arkham for so long that you know nothing about the changes in the world. But it's not your fault. Come on, give me a computer and let our distinguished guests take a good look.
What has the world become now?"
Following his greeting, the subordinates on the side brought a computer, and the clown frowned and watched the video.
Luther turned and started chatting with the Scarecrow.
"How should I call you? Professor? Scientist? Or simply sir?"
The Scarecrow glanced at him: "I always thought that I was an artist."
"Artist? Hahaha, yes, yes, of course you are an artist, an artist of psychology and fear! Okay, then I will call you 'artist' from now on. So, dear artist, can you start?
?”
"You can do it anytime, but where are the materials?"
"You don't have to worry about this. Although I don't know the formula of your results, I have a lot of things in my collection here. I have everything I can buy but not buy. If you don't have it now, I can guarantee you will have it within a day.
.”
"Very well, give me a list of your collection."
"Yes. The host inside has all the information. If there are additional supplies or quantity requirements, you can always ask my assistant." Luther introduced his assistant to the Scarecrow, and then said: "By the way, artist, you
Don’t you need to understand the changes in the world? That guy is more like a god than Superman. Well, I forgot that you have been imprisoned for a long time, and you probably don’t know Superman either?”
"I don't know them, but I've heard of them." The Scarecrow turned towards the door and said at the same time: "But I don't think I have any need to know them, because I believe that even God will have things that can scare him.
!”
"Well said!" Luther praised loudly and clapped repeatedly.
As the glass door opened and closed, the scarecrow entered and quickly put on protective clothing. At the same time, many staff on the other side who had been prepared rushed in to help him.
At this point, the clown roughly finished watching the video.
When he looked up, Luther smiled and asked, "How do you feel?"
The clown took a deep breath with a solemn expression.
Three seconds later, he burst into an unprecedented smile.
"I feel very happy! My skin, my internal organs, my hands, feet, brain, eyes, and even every pore are starting to get excited. Look, are all these hairs standing up? This is me
The world I want! Wonderful! So wonderful!!”
The clown's abnormal behavior made the people standing around feel quite uncomfortable, and they almost wanted to turn around and leave to prevent themselves from appearing next to him.
But Luther is different. He seems to be very tolerant and his attitude towards the Joker remains the same.
"It's indeed exciting, but I have something even more exciting. Do you want to see it?" Luther winked provocatively.
The clown turned his head indifferently: "Where is it? Where is it?"
"Oh, don't worry, she's not here."
"Her?" The clown immediately grasped the core.
Luther smiled and said nothing.
Joker: "Whose is she?"
"Hello, fly, fly around."
"Oh~ Lex, you are awesome. But..." The clown looked at the scarecrow in the factory, "You definitely don't think his poison gas is enough. To be honest, his poison gas has no effect on me.
When he used that thing against me before, I gave him a severe beating."
Luther was confident: "Of course, I won't put all my hopes on one thing, so although I very much hope that he can create poisonous gas that makes people afraid, I am still more willing to believe that those poisonous gases are used to make those
The guys were in a hurry, and at the same time they were suffering from their own incompetence. I made a lot of preparations, for example, I left them some small gifts in the Met."
"Are you interested in telling me about your preparations? I think we can do something together."
"Of course, this was my goal from the beginning, wasn't it?"
So, the two of them chatted side by side again and left.
metropolis.
Bruce stood on the roof, the strong wind from high altitude blowing the cloak behind him.
The helicopters near Lexus Group left one by one, and the crowd of onlookers below gradually dispersed. This group company that once gathered various reputations collapsed in this short period of time.
The building was brightly lit, but the people wandering around inside were not group employees, but police officers investigating and collecting evidence and sealing items.
Bruce couldn't help but think of his own Wayne Group and the origins of the family that his father had told him when he was a child.
The Wayne family's family history is the same as that of many American families. During the Great Immigration era, the Wayne family's ancestors came to this undeveloped continent by ship. The first pot of gold they earned was selling furs to the French.
Therefore, the ancestors of the Wayne family were hunters.
Later, after a period of savings, the Wayne family began to get involved in formal business in order to develop.
Following the footsteps of the times, the Wayne family gradually participated in industries such as railroads, real estate, and oil. These industries laid a solid foundation for the current Wayne Group. Some industries are still the strong backing for the steady and rapid development of the Wayne Group.
Compared with Wayne Group, Lex Group's rise is much faster.
Moreover, Luther's fortune history can be regarded as a "self-made" legend.
Wayne knew about Luther even before he investigated the Lex Group. At that time, although he was busy being a knight in the dark, he was still living a wealthy life during the day. Although Bruce had not met Luther at that time, he could
I still admire him a little in my heart.
But now, Bruce only has two words: deserve it.
His hostility towards Luthor is no less hostile than the Superman he framed.
Because in order to frame the case, Luther actually had civilians who had no power to resist massacred. This was unacceptable to Bruce.
If Luther was killing damn gangsters or terrorists, then Bruce would definitely not say a word. Just like Hong Fei's people cleaning up gangs in Gotham, Bruce would not kill, but he would beat, hard.
, it is not uncommon to be beaten to the point of paralysis, and at the same time, he will not insist on stopping others from killing those bad guys.
Speaking of Gotham, Bruce sighed again.
His philosophy is simple: crime is like weeds.
What do weeds look like? If you pull some out today, some will grow again in the future, just like inexhaustible leeks.
Bruce believes that he has the ability to wipe out all the gangs in Gotham, but he does not think that he can prevent Gotham from having any gang criminal organizations from now on.
When he first started working as the Dark Knight, Bruce was far more ferocious than he is now.
It was only over the past twenty years that he gradually understood the above-mentioned truth about weeds.
So, he changed his behavior.
Instead of uprooting all the existing gangs and growing some brand new gang forces that he has no understanding of, it is better to selectively retain some of the gang forces in the continuous crackdown. This will make him more able to prevent criminal activities.
In turn, better ordinary people are victimized in gang activities.
This course of action is already in line with most police forces around the world to some extent.
Is it true that the police cannot clean up certain gangs?
It's just that I don't want to have to investigate it all over again if a brand new gang appears.
However, Hong Fei's actions directly interrupted the balance he had maintained for many years.
At the beginning, Bruce seemed to find Hong Fei directly and communicated his ideas with him.
However, he quickly canceled the trip.
Because he also wanted to see if Hong Fei could find a better way to solve the problem of Gotham City's "simple folk customs".
Well, there's no harm in giving it a try.
At least, he saw the changes in New York's underground gangs.
Bruce doesn't dare to expect Gotham to become like New York. He only hopes that the number of corpses found in Gotham's ditches or dark alleys every month can be reduced. If Gotham can become the New York it used to be,
That was already great news for Bruce.
Well, after Hong Fei told him about comics, he went to read Marvel comics.
In that comic book world, the gangs in New York were most frequently depicted, and the most prominent one was Hell's Kitchen.
From the bottom of his heart, Bruce envied that city very much: If only Gotham could be like New York.
Even facing the underworld emperor Kingpin, Bruce is sure to do better than that little spider. I wonder if Hong Fei knows Spider-Man. After reading some Spider-Man comics, he has something to say to Spider-Man. If he has the chance,
If so, you can ask Hong Fei to convey it on your behalf.
After thoughts swirled in his mind for a moment, Bruce shook his head slightly and concentrated on preparing for war.
Superman's power has long been deeply rooted in people's hearts. After careful research, Bruce is more convinced of Superman's strength than anyone else.
But he has no choice, at least for now, solving Superman is his only goal.
Just as he was thinking about it, the HUD in front of Bruce suddenly flashed red.
The light in his eyes suddenly condensed, and then he looked up directly towards the horizon.
In the distant sky, amidst the thin light rain and fog, a red figure was flying towards the city at super high speed.
Bruce immediately took a deep breath, his eyes and the bat logo on his chest lit up at the same time.
His action seemed to send a signal, and the red figure in the sky suddenly turned and rushed towards him, and the speed seemed to be faster!
Well come!
Bruce shouted secretly in his heart, and he quietly put one hand behind his back, with a faint green light shining on his palm.
When he was about to approach, Superman suddenly slowed down and then hung in the air.
Bruce is about to take action.
Superman glanced anxiously at the Lex Group on the side, and then said urgently: "Batman, have you seen Lex Luthor here?"
Bruce frowned and said in a low and hoarse voice: "No."
When Superman heard this, his face was filled with disappointment, and he quickly said: "Well...well, he kidnapped my mother, wait, I can't feel Lois, this bastard!! If you find him
Please tell me the traces of you. Sorry! I disturbed you!"
After speaking quickly, Superman turned around and flew away.
Bruce reached out quickly.
"etc!"
Superman turned around, his urgency palpable.
Bruce licked his lips, and there was a fierce battle in his heart.
Superman couldn't wait any longer and said directly: "Batman, I'm sorry, I'm really anxious!"
"Yeah, I know, you said Lex Luthor kidnapped your family?"
"Yes! I just went back to Kansas. My mother was missing, but someone left a Lex Group sign in the living room."
"This is really... he went too far!"
"Yes! But, I really have to leave!"
"No, wait! I...maybe..."
After being interrupted several times, Superman was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Batman, you want... no, are you willing to help me?"
Bruce was also stunned.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Superman just assumed that the face invisible under the armor had already acquiesced, so he said quickly: "Thank you! Thank you very much! I'm sorry that I had thoughts against you before, and waited for this matter
I will solemnly apologize and thank you after it's over! Let's get down to business now! I'll go home first and see if there are any clues at my residence. You can follow your ideas. We'll split up. I'll be there in five...three minutes.
Meet again here!"
Having said that, Superman didn't hesitate anymore and directly took off into the air and thundered away.
Bruce stood there like a statue for a long time without regaining consciousness.
Who can tell me what I want to do after standing here for so long?
