A sharp brake sound sounded, and Poison Ivy used all her strength to support her body with her hands on the steering wheel. She turned her head and looked at Peter with a horrified expression, and asked again.
"What did you say?"
The expression on her face clearly stated her current thoughts - are you awake?
Peter turned to look at her and said, "I'm not crazy. Let's leave the city through another entrance, go to Blüdhaven again, and ask Gordon where he put the clown's ashes."
"I promise to make you accept my plan before we reach our destination, because this is indeed the best solution now."
"I really can't imagine how ridiculous your explanation could be." Poison Ivy sighed and stepped on the accelerator. She held the steering wheel with one hand and put the other hand outside the car window and said, "Actually, we all know that this city
This is the city of Batman and the Joker, and anything related to them is unbelievably crazy and no one wants to get involved."
"That's exactly the problem, madam." Peter's attitude was very serious. He said: "Maybe you think it's a good thing that the clown is dead. I think so too. He is a criminal who has committed many crimes, and he will not be punished no matter what kind of evil he gets.
Pass."
"But death is not the best retribution. He even got his gift through death. He became one with Batman."
Poison Ivy looked at him with some confusion, and Peter sighed and said, "I guess the blood that the Joker injected into Batman's body affected Batman."
"Actually, I don't know what complicated entanglements there are between the two of them. I only know that if a fortress is indestructible when attacked from the outside, then anyone with a little bit of intelligence will think of breaking it from the inside."
"I think all the previous plans for the Titan poison to kill the Joker may have been planned by the Joker himself, and his purpose was to defeat Batman from the inside."
Poison Ivy frowned, bit her lip, pondered for a moment and then said, "It's not impossible. Before you came here, they fought countless times, but they couldn't tell the winner."
"If Batman doesn't kill the Joker, it's hard for the Joker to really defeat Batman. I've witnessed their confrontations several times. To be honest, it's hard to understand, but I can see that the Joker will use all means to defeat Batman.
.”
"He's so close to succeeding that we can't let him succeed."
"Do you think the Joker can really break Batman from the inside?"
"No, I don't think so, but he can defeat Gotham." Peter sighed and said, "According to my observation, Batman's willpower is like steel, and simple illusions cannot defeat him."
"But don't forget, along with internal stimulation, there is also external pressure. Scarecrow's fear gas has not been resolved yet, Penguin, Two-Face, Riddler are waiting for an opportunity, Arkham Knight suddenly appears, and I...
"
Peter held the file and said with a heavy tone: "The Joker had wired earlier. If he really kidnapped Jason, then his plan may have started at that time."
"Take away Batman's child, let himself be poisoned and die, reborn in Batman's body, and then let Jason return as the Arkham Knight, and at the same time cooperate with the chaotic disaster of Gotham."
"The irritability caused by the interference of hallucinations, the heartache of discovering that one's children have been tortured, the guilt of facing Arkham Knight, and the pressure and anxiety of solving the disaster imminently."
Peter turned his head to the side and said with some sigh: "The professor is right, clowns are the real masters of playing with people's hearts. It's hard to imagine anyone who can not make mistakes under so much emotional pressure."
"Once Batman makes a mistake, it will definitely cause a chain of consequences. Many people will die in Gotham, the city will be destroyed, Arkham Knight will die, Batman will betray his family and his reputation will be ruined. Tonight, this city will be completely destroyed.
An orgy of chaos.”
Peter's hand holding the file became tighter and tighter, and he said: "In this plan, the Joker can make countless mistakes, but Batman can only make one mistake."
Poison Ivy seemed to understand a little bit. She looked at Peter and said, "To be honest, I don't want the situation to develop like this. I haven't completely found a place for plant refuge. So how do you want to solve this kind of situation?"
"To be honest, the moment I didn't notice the clown's plan and started executing my own, the situation was irreversible."
Peter sighed helplessly. He knew that it would be difficult for him to get a high score, but obviously it was not time to hand in the paper yet, so he had to get some process points for himself.
"The doctor told me that the best way to crack a seamless plan is to do something unexpected by the mastermind behind it."
"Maybe everything was within the Joker's expectation, whether it was the betrayal of the Arkham Knight, the disaster caused by the Scarecrow, or the plan I executed, but there is one thing that he probably could not have expected."
"Someone will resurrect him?" Poison Ivy said.
"Yes, no one has the motive to do this. He is the most notorious criminal in the city. He and Batman are life-and-death enemies of each other. The bad guys will laugh at his early death, and the good guys will applaud his death."
"This creates an unsolvable dilemma for Batman. He cannot tell anyone that the Joker is not dead at all and is still alive in his body, because if he does so, there can only be two results. Those who don't believe this statement
Those who cannot understand his situation and believe this statement will not trust him."
"But he didn't expect you." Poison Ivy's hand gripped the steering wheel more steadily. Apparently she had accepted this explanation. She said: "If the Joker is resurrected, there will be two situations, either the original Joker
Either leave Batman's body and become himself again, or there's a new Joker, which one do you think it will be?"
"No matter which one it is, the Joker's plan to attack Batman from the inside will definitely be disrupted, and his first-mover advantage will disappear." Peter's face was still solemn, and he said: "I know we shouldn't resurrect a hand.
A criminal covered in blood, but if there must be a Joker in this world, he must not be Batman, otherwise the whole world will be destroyed."
It was absolutely impossible for the previous Spider-Man to resurrect any criminal, but if Peter has learned anything from observing Batman these days and what just happened, it is that Batman is the strongest human being in the world.
But this is obviously a dilemma. He doesn't want to find a way to pull the Joker out of Batman's body. Once the Joker is reborn in Batman's body, he really can't imagine what will happen to the world after such a powerful superhero goes crazy.
What a disaster.
Poison Ivy seemed to sense Peter's sadness. Her hand holding the steering wheel paused, but she still said: "This city is like that, boy."
"A big trouble now or a big trouble in the future, which one should we choose? No matter which one we choose, we will feel very painful. This is the life of most people."
The car drove into the underground cold storage in Blüdhaven again, and Poison Ivy used a vine to wake up Gordon. Gordon was surprised when he saw Peter.
However, he didn't know who attacked him at that time, and thought Peter was here to save him, but Peter persuaded him to stay here. Gordon initially disagreed, but after seeing Barbara who was still unconscious next to him, he finally had no impulse.
Return to Gotham.
After explaining his purpose to Gordon, Gordon showed a very obvious expression of hesitation, and Peter looked at him and said: "We have no time, Sheriff, you know Batman can't have problems, he is the last hope."
Gordon, who looked a bit old, leaned against the corner and sat with his hands on his knees. He looked up at the ceiling and sighed deeply and said: "Actually, I don't agree with Batman doing this. I don't know if this is the right thing to do."
The clown virus in his body is at work."
"What happened to him?" Poison Ivy asked curiously.
"He is not the only one infected with the Joker virus." Gordon shook his head and said: "Just a few days before Scarecrow announced the destruction of Gotham, I discovered a base where he used to hold people infected with the Joker virus. There were at least five people there.
The patients all showed symptoms of being infected with the clown virus."
Peter frowned deeply. He really didn't expect that the clown virus was actually an infectious disease.
"I don't mean to slander Batman, but I really can't understand why he would do this." Gordon lowered his eyes and said, "I tried to persuade him, and the excuse he gave me was that he wanted to cure everyone, but that didn't make sense at all.
"
"This is indeed not what a superhero should do. If you want a radical cure, you should at least get treatment. If you are worried about causing damage, you should send it to the police station instead of being imprisoned privately."
And Gordon knows that Batman actually has more and better ways to deal with those infected with the Joker virus, such as using Mr. Freeze's technology to freeze them and then unblock them when the Joker virus can be cracked, or simply use bats
Sleep pods put them to sleep.
Instead of locking them in a base and making them suffer while they are conscious, it will only make their symptoms worse.
"Why on earth would Batman do this?"
Peter raised his own questions, and Gordon, who knew both the Joker and Batman better, guessed this.
"It's impossible for the clown to know out of thin air that his blood has the ability to infect. He must have done some experiments before, and these five people were his experiments."
"But even if ordinary people are infected, it does not prove that Batman can be infected. Batman is special, and it is impossible for the Joker to accurately judge the success or failure of the infection before actually taking action."
"If the infection succeeds, then it's okay if he dies, but if the infection fails, he obviously can't accept the fact that he died before he defeated Batman."
Peter suddenly realized, he said: "So those five people are actually the preparations left by the Joker for himself. Once the plan to infect Batman fails, one of them will become the Joker."
"That is to say, the Joker knows that there is only one Joker from beginning to end." Poison Ivy immediately reacted and said: "He will eventually be resurrected in a person's body, and the best result is Batman."
"But Batman also chose to keep them, or even let them go." Peter frowned and said, "Neither treatment nor restrictive measures were taken."
Peter suddenly realized that Batman should know the Joker better than he did, and it was impossible for him to know nothing about the Joker's plan. So is this base where people infected with the Joker virus are imprisoned, one of his countermeasures?
Wait, does Batman have the same idea as himself? He left these infected people with the Joker virus in order to resurrect the Joker so that the Joker would leave his body and not be able to infect him from the inside?
Peter immediately realized that tonight was his stage, but after all, it was Batman and the Joker's stage.
He thought he was a web weaver, but he never saw clearly the dragnet that Batman and the Joker had already laid. The turbulent undercurrent of struggle had already flowed through the deep river bottom long before he laid the first thread.
So the question is, what exactly is Batman and the Joker’s plan? When did they start laying it out, and how did they lay it out?
