Batman strengthened his tone. He didn't care about Deathstroke and Green Arrow's random interjections. The key was that when these two smart people were thinking, Arthur and Diana also looked eager to try...
.
Not today, now is not the time to exercise.
"When Gotham City was first established, several founding families gave it a beautiful vision. They regarded it as the political, cultural, and economic center of the country."
"But as Gotham develops, the increasing population brings a variety of problems, including infectious diseases, drugs, parasites, harmful organisms, etc."
"The founding families began to worry that what they saw as the heart of the country would become a drag on the country, and they vowed not to let Gotham become the birthplace of darkness."
At this point, even Batman was a little speechless, because as a newcomer, everyone present knew very well what the situation in Gotham was now.
Not to mention being the main culprit of pollution in the United States, apart from a few places in the world where warlords are at war, there is no place darker and more chaotic than Gotham.
The founding family at that time had actually been infiltrated by the Court of Owls, and everything they did with a beautiful vision was actually just to prepare for the hatching of Barbatos, the god of darkness.
But Batman only stuttered for a moment, and it sounded like a normal tone of voice, and he continued.
"They set up a system called the 'Final Smile'. Based on the literal meaning of the word, it is a system that will cut off all contact with the outside world no matter whether there is an external or internal problem in Gotham, and allow Gotham to
The system by which man remains pure.”
"Perhaps in their minds, the so-called last smile has two meanings. One is that when the interior of Gotham is polluted, they activate the last smile and pull the whole city to be 'purified' together. This is a free and easy smile left to the world before death.
"
"There is also a problem outside the city, such as the spread of biohazard or other disasters sweeping the world. They will also activate the last laugh, leaving Gotham isolated from the world and having the last laugh."
Hearing this, Su Ming felt a little toothache.
Because this final smile system must have been borrowed by the owls, because Gotham has now absorbed the darkness of the world, which is exactly the opposite of the original intention of building this system.
This can probably be considered a contribution to the world, right? After all, the dirty things are concentrated here. In other places, let’s not say too far away, let’s just say Metropolis and Midtown. The security environment is simply not very good.
Batman continued his narration, and he spoke very quickly: "This system will blow up all the roads leading to Gotham, and at the same time use airships to drop vaccines or poisons throughout the city. While they are building sewers,
Secret granaries and weapons depots have been established underground, which I only learned about after the last battle with the Court of Owls."
Diana tilted her head and moved closer to Su Ming: "Sounds like a good idea? If the world is no longer safe, make sure you are invincible. If you decay first, don't drag down your comrades. It will be very difficult.
It’s aristocratic.”
Su Ming smelled the cherry smell on her body and shrugged: "Maybe the original intention is good, but after the operation of the Owl Court, what use can this system have? I guess after it is activated, it will probably sacrifice the blood of the entire city and summon Barbato
Or pull the Dark Multiverse to come over and collide with our universe?"
Batman heard the whispers between the two, and he had a directional radio device in his pointed ears. He nodded: "Of course I knew there might be something wrong with the Last Smile system, so after fighting the Court of Owls, I started to build my own
The final smile, like the energy barrier that protected the city during the last flood, is part of the plan."
"But the effect is not very good."
Su Ming shook his head. There is still a fishy smell in the streets, which is enough to explain the situation.
"That's because the response to the Doomsday Flood went beyond the original concept of its design. It is a system used to deal with biological and chemical attacks. When the entire system begins to operate, it will make Gotham independent from overseas, purifying the air and air on its own.
water, and the system that has the last laugh.”
Batman turned around and said almost everything he needed to say. Green Arrow and Deathstroke should understand what happened next.
Based on his understanding of himself, the Laughing Bat will definitely keep an eye on this system. The last time he tried to transcend this world, his game method was broken by Deathstroke. This time he will definitely play the game within the rules.
There is only nothingness outside the wall now.
Batman believes that the Laughter's plan is to kill the Joker, obtain the Joker's toxin, and then spread it through Gotham City through the Final Laugh System, turning everyone in the city into a Joker.
His previous plan to assassinate the clown failed and the clown escaped. This is completely reasonable. Then Laughter will not be idle next time. The toxin has not been found, so he must ensure the other aspect of the hardware facilities.
Su Ming and Oliver did understand what he meant. They looked past Arthur, who looked cute but took up the most space in the middle, and asked almost in unison.
“Where is that system?”
Batman put his hands on the armrests, stretched his legs, leaned back on the chair and dimmed the lights, and he instantly escaped into darkness.
"The central hub is on the upper floor of Wayne Tower, the floor with the tightest security. If you want to enter, you need to go through a multi-point DNA scan..."
"Let me guess, the DNA of the Laughing Bat is consistent with yours." Diana's intuition came into play again.
Batman just remained silent. Even Diana had guessed what happened, and the answer was already obvious.
Diana turned to look at Su Ming and signaled that disgusting portal to be used again.
Su Ming sighed, stood up and changed into the holy statue armor: "Okay, um, Batman, we'll discuss the price this time when we get back."
"You can't always use money as a hoodwink. I can probably guess what you want." Batman's calm voice came from the darkness.
Su Ming thought that Batman was destined to see through that asking for reward was just an illusion, but he didn't expect that Batman would choose to show off at this time.
He glanced at the pointed ears in the dark: "No matter what I want, for a rich man like you, it's just a small thing that doesn't hurt or itch."
"..." Batman pretended to be dead again.
Su Ming walked in the front, followed by Green Arrow, followed by Diana. Arthur, who came as a bonus, could only stay at the last to enter.
Before he entered, he found Batman still sitting in the dark, staring motionlessly at the portal, showing no intention of coming together.
"Won't you come together?"
Batman leaned back in his chair: "No, I have to wait for a guest."
"Guest? Oh, okay, we'll be back in a minute." After saying that, Arthur quickly endured his nausea and walked into the portal, and the pink and purple voice closed in front of Batman.
He still maintained that posture. No one knew what he was thinking. They could only vaguely see his eyepieces glowing faintly in the darkness.
"Master, breakfast is ready."
Alfred came down from the elevator carrying a large tray. He opened the lid and showed Bruce the dishes on it.
Although it was just breakfast, at least it had to be nutritionally balanced. In view of the fact that the young master had just lost a lot of blood, he specially made foie gras stewed in red wine, which could replenish iron in the body, and spread it on French bread flown from Paris to eat.
What is not perfect is that the bread is not fresh, but the stock that arrived before the last flood. There are also no eggs, so we can only use peacock eggs to make omelettes...
"Put it there first and help me turn off the waterway security system." Batman said with a slight sigh.
"I don't understand, Master. If you turn that off, the rocks will move away, and the underground river at the bottom of the Batcave will be connected to the outside world."
Although he said he didn't understand, Ah Fu still put down the tray, walked to the wall, opened a small secret cover, pressed a few buttons and entered the password.
"I know." Batman replied: "He knows too."
"Who? Master, who are you talking about?" Ah Fu stood aside with his hands tied, standing reservedly in the classic butler's posture.
"Hehehe...of course it's me, maybe I should knock on the door first?"
As the words fell, a wet figure came up from the stairs, with a big smile on his pale face and dripping water all over his body.
Following his footsteps, a string of dark footprints were left on the ground.
Batman has already predicted that if there is any place in Gotham that is safe for the Joker at this time, it must be the Batcave.
All defense measures have been activated. The defense here is higher than that of the Hall of Justice. At least no one can sneak in and plant a nuclear bomb here.
If Maniac wants to kill the clown, the clown will not stretch his neck to kill him. He can only come here.
Batman was still slumped in the chair. After the others left, he relaxed a little. The pain in his body and the beating of his brain made him too lazy to say anything to the Joker.
The reason he lost control before was not because the Joker killed Selina, but because Batman could find a way to resurrect a person. What really made Batman almost crazy was that he felt powerless and that things always progressed beyond his plan.
The clown told him that he was still so fragile, no different from a teenage child.
And such a weak person has no chance of winning in the face of wild laughter.
Various emotions, memories, and worries about the future of the world, under the influence of laughing gas, forced Batman to cut off information processing from the outside world.
But not anymore, he has let go of everything about Bruce Wayne, and now, he is just Batman.
Those memories are precious to him, but he can sacrifice everything just to defeat the Laughing and the Legion of Destruction.
"You are safe here, my old friend. I asked Ah Fu to prepare two breakfasts. If you want to take a shower first, of course you can."
Batman raised his hand slightly, motioning for the Joker to come and sit down. Although Ah Fu looked ugly, he still obeyed the young master's decision and put the dinner plate on the table.
The clown inserted his fingers into his hair, lowered his head and trembled, his shoulders shook more and more, and then he broke into a ball of laughter.
