When Thomas finished shouting this sentence, Batman and Copper were stunned together.
Batman didn't realize what he was talking about for a moment, while Cobbler didn't know anything about the previous murders and thought the serial murderer Thomas was talking about was actually Lex.
Thomas gasped and said in a hysterical voice: "This is beyond my plan! I didn't do that accident. It shouldn't be like this. I obviously planned it all..."
Seeing Thomas's somewhat broken mood, Batman realized that this might be a good time to ask the truth, so he looked at Thomas and asked: "You said your fiancée is in danger and there is a serial murderer, how come you said that?"
What's going on?"
Thomas's voice was trembling a little, and he seemed extremely reluctant, but he also knew that the only one who could stop this now was Batman, so he said:
"I killed Doris. I borrowed the javelin from the sports equipment room and pierced her chest and killed her. But my purpose was not to kill her, I just wanted to borrow this spear...
…”
"... Go and make an alibi for yourself." Batman interrupted him in a calm tone. Batman continued: "You put yourself in jail, and then let your accomplices kill Elio."
Mr. and Mrs. Te, I will provide you with an alibi, and then find a way to clear your case, so that you can be released from prison innocently and inherit the Elliott family."
"The way you want to reverse the case is to let your accomplices continue to commit murders similar to Doris's case outside, turning this into a serial murder. This will prove that you were not the one who killed Doris.
.”
Thomas was stunned, but then he showed an expression of gritted hatred on his face, but it quickly turned into a complex emotion, and he said: "Batman...Batman...you are such a genius, I should too
Yes, I should too..."
"Then what did you say about your fiancée and the serial killer?" Batman asked.
"Yes...yes! Go find Belena quickly! She may be in danger now! Someone is eyeing her..."
Thomas's arms were shaking as he said: "The second victim of the cheerleading group member was indeed my fault, because as long as the serial murder continues, it means that I am innocent in prison...
…”
"But, but the third murderer was not me... there was another murderer! His next target is my fiancée Belena!"
What Thomas said was a bit confusing, and Batman didn't hear any logic. He only heard Thomas admit that he killed the first and second victims, but denied that the third victim's murderer was him.
made.
Logically speaking, if he admits that he killed two people face to face, then he will not deny the third victim. At this stage of the matter, it is impossible for Thomas to escape guilt anyway, so there is no need for him to
It was not him who bit the third victim to death.
"First of all, you have to tell me who your accomplice is? How did you commit the crime?" Batman ignored Thomas' anxious mood at all. He would not be fooled by this, because whether Thomas was performing or not, he had to
Find out what's going on...
Thomas seemed to be ignoring him, and he explained in one breath: "Just about two weeks ago, I wanted to see a doctor because of anxiety. It may have been at that time that I left my phone number.
Not long after, a psychiatrist who called himself Dr. Hugo called me..."
"He said that he was very experienced in this area and could help me with treatment, but I didn't want my parents to know that I had a mental illness, so I couldn't go to a regular hospital for treatment. He said that he had experience in treatment, so I planned to
Go and have a look.”
"When I arrived at the appointed location, I found that there was no psychological clinic there. Later I found out that they were hiding in the sewers of Gotham."
"There was a refrigerated warehouse that was dug out, but it was abandoned for some reason, and they were hiding there."
"At that time, I wanted to leave, but the man named Dr. Hugo stopped me. We chatted for a while. I felt that he was indeed an excellent psychiatrist. He might have fallen into despair for some unknown reason, so I expressed my willingness.
Fund him, but the premise is that he must cure my anxiety disorder."
"He and I talked a lot, and I confided a lot of my inner secrets to him. He said that my anxiety and stress come from my parents. As long as there are no sources of stress, my anxiety disorder will naturally get better."
"He instigated you to kill your parents?" Batman narrowed his eyes and asked.
"That's right." Thomas swallowed and said, "He made a series of plans, he said. As long as I follow the plan, it will be fine, but now, this is not part of our plan at all!"
"He said that after I go to jail, he will kill my parents, and then he will commit another crime, choose a girl with the same identity as Doris, and commit a similar crime in the same place.
It was made into a serial murder case so that I could be exonerated and get out of jail."
"He said that he would only do one more case, but then I heard that there was a third case, so I tried every means to contact the lawyer and then Dr. Hugo, but he told me that the third case
The three eucalyptus cases were not his fault."
"At this moment, my fiancée Belenna called me. On the other end of the phone, she cried hard and looked very sad and scared. She said that someone threatened her with emails and notes, saying that she would kill her.
Got her..."
Cobot, who had been listening on the sidelines, said: "Belena? I seem to know her. She is a student at the School of Environment. She has indeed not come to the laboratory these days. Originally, the project she was responsible for often used this laboratory.
, but I haven’t seen her for several days.”
"That's why I came here to look for her!" Thomas yelled: "I know she is doing experiments here. The handbag she threw at my house contained the keys here, as well as special gloves and protective clothing. When I saw
I knew it was used in cryogenic laboratories..."
"So, can you open the door to this laboratory?" Cobot looked at Thomas's hand. He was indeed wearing a glove, but because this special glove is very thin and fits the hand very well.
Gloves, so it's not easy to spot.
"She must have disappeared!" Thomas began to become more and more excited. He said, "She may even have been killed. I want to find her!"…
As Thomas's mood became more and more unstable, he strangled Lex's arm tighter and tighter. Lex was choked so hard that he couldn't breathe, his face turned red, and his lips even started to turn purple.
In any case, Lex's physical condition is really poor. Not to mention a tall and strong adult man like Thomas, even Cobot, who is very thin but armed with a weapon, can force him back step by step. Thomas
Stop, he has no room to resist.
No matter how genius your brain is, there is no way to convert intelligence into force under such circumstances. His genius brain has even fallen into a slight coma due to lack of oxygen.
Batman obviously also observed this situation. He took two steps forward and wanted to press Thomas, but Thomas did not retreat because he knew that there was a window behind him and there was no way to retreat. He had to give himself more time.
The depth of space can be used to deal with Batman's possible attack.
So, he retreated to his left rear, which was the side farther away from Cobot and Batman.
In that direction, there was a larger laboratory. Batman pressed forward step by step. Thomas retreated step by step, retreating in that direction until his back was leaning against the largest instrument in the center of the room.
As I said before, it was a very large machine, cylindrical in shape, connecting two floors. In addition to the surrounding consoles and fixtures, there was a cylindrical liquid storage device inside, which contained
are the ingredients Victor uses to make super ice.
Due to some material reasons, this thing cannot be stored in a solid state. It can only be placed in a liquid form in a special cabin, and it must be constantly stirred, and another chemical agent must be used to maintain it.
the stability of existence.
At this time, inside the cylindrical liquid storage device that Thomas was leaning against, the blue liquid kept surging, like beautiful waves or unpredictable nebulae. The cold light shone on his back, but because of the good
Excellent sealing, no cold air leaks out.
Facts have proved that necessary stimulation may increase people's vigilance towards a certain dangerous object, just like a person's hand will instinctively retract when it touches a hot kettle. But now, because Thomas did not touch it from behind
He didn't feel anything unusual about the thing he was leaning against, so he didn't realize how dangerous he was getting close to.
Batman's attention is entirely on Lex, or in other words, no matter who Thomas holds hostage, Batman's first goal is to rescue the hostage.
At this time, because the pressure from Batman was too great, Thomas seemed to collapse a little. He began to strangle Lex's neck with his hands, and said: "You are all the same! You guys... ha, genius? Genius
?Do you think you are geniuses?!"
"Why are you born superior? Why not me! Answer me! Is this fair?!"
"Bruce Wayne!" Thomas suddenly raised his voice and said, "Do you think I don't know who you are? Batman! I have been investigating for a long time. From the moment Batman appeared, I started investigating...
…”
"I saw through your trick! You are not a superhero in the dark night! You damn hypocrite! You are just relying on your extraordinary talent and wealth. Now, I want to have it all..."
…
However, the scene that Thomas expected, in which Batman was shocked by having his identity revealed, did not appear, and he did not even react to such a scene.
But this is not surprising. According to the current timeline, in the plot changed by Schiller, almost everyone knows the true identity of Batman. Schiller knows, Gordon knows, Victor knows, and Constant
Din knew it, and so did Hal.
When they had a private gathering, no matter what kind of clothes Bruce was wearing, whether he was wearing an ordinary sweatshirt and jeans, or that cool bat suit, these people would always say "Bruce".
Although Bruce had emphasized to them many times that when he was wearing the bat costume, he should call him Batman, but those people seemed to have the attitude of coaxing children to play, just follow him when they were in a good mood, and could not think of it when they had something serious to do.
Never mind.
Therefore, in the circle of Gotham's weirdos, Batman was online under his real name. After a long time, he didn't bother to correct it. He just called Bruce Bruce. Forcibly correcting his name would not only lead to ridicule, but would
Whatever changes there will be, let them be. Desensitization treatment is successful.
Seeing Batman's unresponsiveness, Thomas became even more hysterical and used more force on his hands. At this time, Batman knew that he had to take action, otherwise Lex's life would be in danger.
But at this moment, there was a figure faster than him. The thin Cobot rushed to Thomas at an extremely fast speed, and then raised the sharp knife in his hand, and Thomas ducked aside.
At this time, two "whoosh" sounds were heard, and two batarangs flew past Thomas's neck.
In order to avoid being surrounded by front and rear double-teams, Thomas had to find a bunker. The console next to him was a good choice. However, if he had to dodge past, it would be impossible to catch Lex. He was too much in the way.
Thomas threw Lex to the side, then rolled over and hid behind the console. But at this moment, the two batarangs thrown by Batman did not stop, but hit him directly.
The glass top of the liquid storage device.
Batman considered the possibility of causing damage to the things behind Thomas, so he used very light force. The sound of the batarang hitting the glass was very light, and then it landed, seemingly without causing any damage.
However, a tiny crack quietly opened from the contact point. At this moment, both Batman and Cobot quickly retreated. There was only a "bang" sound, and the liquid storage device exploded.
Batman and Cobot, who had hid on the other side of the room, were not affected and only felt the biting cold. However, Thomas, who was hiding behind the console and did not have time to escape, and Lex, who was thrown aside by Thomas,
He was directly submerged by the splash of blue liquid.
Then, Batman saw a series of bubbles suddenly appearing in the dreamy blue waves.
Immediately afterwards, a pale and thin hand stretched out from the liquid. At the same time, Gotham's eternal nightmare, resurrected in madness, arrived again——
"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
