Snowflakes flashed across the image on the TV, and the chaotic colors on the museum side were in stark contrast to the darkness on the opposite side, as if they were two different worlds separated by a glass.
The locations of the Joker and the victim could not be pinned down, and they could only be seen to be underground somewhere. But in the city of Gotham, not only were there three sets of sewers built at different times underground, but many basements were also opened illegally.
There are many benefits to opening up the basements of different buildings to form a new communication network.
For example, it is definitely safer for drug-trafficking mules to operate underground, and it is easier for illegal immigrants to escape from the immigration authorities. Also, like now, if you plan to carry out a conspiracy but do not have a fixed base, you can just find a basement.
Most of the illegal immigrants in Gotham come from Mexico and South American countries, with a small number coming from the Middle East and Africa. There are still many people who yearn for the beacon of freedom. They manufacture and transport drugs in their original countries and have to succumb to warlords, so why not come to the United States to take a breath
What about the free air? What if I become rich and reach the pinnacle of life?
Although illegal immigrants are actually synonymous with cannon fodder and meat in Gotham, and those who can make it out so far do not exist, there is no shame in dying in pursuit of your dreams.
Even Batman can't stop this kind of thing, who hasn't dreamed about it yet.
He only arranges surveillance on the ground. In fact, it is just to force people who yearn for darkness to go underground, because ordinary people will only live on the ground. By dividing the living space of the two and preventing them from intersecting, ordinary people will not be harmed.
.
Unfortunately, even Batman can't always have his way.
The Joker doesn't care what Batman is thinking when he's on the TV. He has Catwoman and Barbara in his hands, so Batman must play with him.
Batman dares to deal with Luthor and ignore him? Then break up!
Batman dares to go to Kuaixia and ignore him? It’s a vote!
What if Batman leaves the city? No vote!
This is very simple, isn't it? Something that even a newly minted kidnapper can do, let alone the clown who is known as the King of Crime.
Everything of value to Batman is the Joker's pawn. The Joker also learned about the explosion of the Hall of Justice through the unknown person who is still lurking there.
There are no satellites and no high technology, so it doesn't matter. Green Arrow can only buy stuffed bears from the Cold War era, and Joker can get active military radio stations.
The straight-line distance between Gotham and Washington DC is less than 400km, and advanced military radios can easily have a signal range of thousands of kilometers. Of course, the old method of carrier communication has its advantages. The clown is not afraid of being intercepted, so he is an undercover agent in the Hall of Justice.
It's not him, hehehe...
Although the nuclear explosion caused strong electromagnetic interference, as long as the resulting noise was received, the clown could guess what was happening over there.
From a certain perspective, the Joker can understand Laughter, because he understands both Batman and himself.
This can be considered a resonance among madmen, although the clown hates this.
"You just got the remote control, so you probably guessed something, right? Both of them are guilty and want to kill you, but one is just a common man's anger, and the other is a conspiracy." The clown's voice was trembling.
He seemed to be trembling with excitement: "I am your old friend, Batman, and I want to help you and provide you with a chance."
"Chance......"
"Yes, chance, hey hey, press the red button, the electric chair on the left will be energized, press the green button, the electric chair on the right will be energized, the voltage is not very high, they will not necessarily die, although they all have
heart disease......"
"You are trying in vain."
"I know you don't want to kill, but if you don't choose one within ten seconds, both of them will die. Hehehe, although I originally wanted them to live a little longer, but you are in a hurry to start the game.
Oh, you know me so well, it’s always hard for me to refuse your invitation, hahahahahahahahaha..."
"..."
"Come on, let's choose quickly. I can give you a suggestion. It might be better to choose the fat guy. He has more fat on his body and will taste better when grilled. Of course, the thin guy can also do it. He is younger and may survive being electrocuted.
What? It’s really hard to choose, hehehe..."
While talking, the Joker interfered with Batman's thinking and made a slurping sound. He was waiting for the moment when the comedy effect exploded.
As long as Batman can kill a criminal, then he has a reason to kill himself. It would be great to die in Batman's hands...
"..." Batman looked grim and narrowed his eyes.
"Tick tock, time is running out, Batman, if you don't choose, the connection between the two of them will not be a short-term electric current... I have never seen anyone being electrified until it glows like a light bulb. The human body
Can you really see bones when you apply electricity?”
A countdown appeared on the remote control in his hand, and the red LCD numbers on it were constantly changing, but Batman threw it away casually.
Then he kicked the TV away and everything went silent.
Yes, this is the way to crack it, because those two people will definitely not survive in the hands of the Joker if they play according to the Joker's rules. Even if Batman chooses one of them, the Joker will never release the other one who may expose him.
location of survivors.
Once the clown's game is over, the chess pieces are worthless and both of them will die.
What he wants to see is not a human-shaped light bulb. He wants to see Batman's choices and reactions in the game. There are comedians who make a living by reacting.
It is difficult to laugh at others, but it is easy for people to laugh at themselves, and their own defenses are always the weakest.
Smile bitterly, giggle, laugh unconsciously, as long as Batman smiles...
Batman has seen through this, and as long as the Joker is not allowed to see what he wants to see, he will keep the chess pieces waiting for Batman to choose, which at least allows the two of them to live for a while longer.
During the previous conversation, he determined that he could communicate with the clown in real time, and that the clown could see his movements and expressions, so the camera should be on the TV.
Just blow up the TV, go to the next room, and avoid talking about the choice here, then the clown will always keep the two of them.
Judging from the rate of blood loss they are currently tied up with wires, they can still last for a few hours, allowing Ah Fu to locate the clown as soon as possible. Maybe he only needs to amputate his limbs when he comes to rescue them.
Batman moved on, walking from one room to the next, and the TV here was already on before he entered.
The Joker's head swayed around the screen, and he looked at Batman with a very resentful look, as if he was 'skipping' before blaming him.
But in fact, the Joker had already thought that Batman would do this, not to mention he had secretly given some hints before.
"If they both survive, something bad will happen." This sentence implies that there is a way for both of them to survive.
Well, what’s the point of a game that explodes in difficulty as soon as it starts up? At least let Batman find his state, and then he can devote himself to it better, hehehe...
Of course, the clown never talks empty words, and when he says something bad is going on, he is naturally not bluffing, but it is something that can only be seen at the end of the game.
"Oh, I really can't do anything to you, forget it, let's start the second level!"
As the clown finished speaking, music sounded in the room, the kind of funny tunes played when the clown appears in the circus, but Batman's mouth curled downwards, and he remained expressionless.
"In the second level, I will release some people in the museum. Of course, they are all very happy people. Although the copperhead is a waste, its level of making poison is pretty good. Your flesh and blood is their antidote. If five
They will all die if they don't taste your blood within minutes, what will you choose next?"
As he spoke, the clown raised a remote control and pressed the button on it. The image on the TV suddenly changed, showing a door deep inside the museum.
There was a big smiling face painted on the door, and there were balloons hanging on it, painted colorfully. As the clown pressed the button, a large group of people came out from the darkness behind the door.
These people include men and women, old and young, and they all come in all shapes and sizes, including white-collar workers, students, gang members, and housewives.
The only thing they have in common is the crazy smiles on their faces. These smiling people rush out along the corridor like zombies, making the door look like a hippie version of Hell's Gate.
Batman immediately turned around and left. Although he didn't know the specific location of the door on the screen, he had vaguely heard the sounds of chaotic footsteps.
The Joker breathed laughing gas into hundreds of people and injected them with the so-called copperhead venom, once again putting Batman in a dilemma.
If Batman escapes, these people will be poisoned and die; but if they really use their own blood to detoxify, they may not be extremely weak.
When he turned to leave, the clown behind him seemed to have lost sight of him, but his laughter and reminders still came from the TV.
"You only have five minutes! Batman! Five minutes, hahahahahaha..."
Batman narrowed his eyes. In this way, the new venom of the copperhead snake should be the product of reaction with laughing gas. After all, Batman entered this second level and the countdown began, and the Joker did not know about the bat before.
When will Xia arrive here?
The exact 'five minutes' cannot be given.
He was thinking about something in his mind, but Batman was dissatisfied with the movements of his hands. He walked out of the room and shot out the hook, then turned over and landed on the ceiling.
There are many types of laughing gas, some can make people laugh until they die, some can make people laugh without dying, and some can make people laugh and be controlled.
Its raw material is unknown, but it is currently estimated to be the blood of Dionysus in the clown's body. This thing is one of the top ten metals and can provide self-healing capabilities, but it can make people go crazy.
But this is the weakness. The clown is crazy and sober, but the people who are controlled by laughing gas are not. Their thinking ability is affected.
So Batman clung to the ceiling and hung upside down, while the Laughing Man below ran past like headless flies, but no one thought to look up.
But in order to save these people, Batman can't just hang on the ceiling for five minutes, otherwise he and the Joker will both be responsible for the deaths of hundreds of people.
Even if the poison was poisoned by a clown, it is your responsibility if this happens before your eyes.
When the Joker announced the time, Batman started a countdown in his mind. At this time, he quietly found an uninhabited corner and contacted Alfred.
