Chapter 576: I, Clown (16)
The night continues......
At this moment, under the high platform of the Bat Castle,.
In the past, they came here for one purpose, which was to bow and worship. But tonight, they have come to demand the killing.
"Hand over the bat!" "Kill that liar!" "Let him come out!" The crowd shouted one after another.
They're angry, they're excited, they're impulsive, they're crazy.
This qiΔ...... It all started with that smiley face sign in the sky. That smile seems to have a kind of magic that implants the rebellious love in everyone's heart. And Feng Bujue's excellent speech became the final catalyst.
"Sir, the situation is about to get out of control." On the high platform, a Robin quickly ran up to Gordon and reported, "There are too many people surrounding the castle, we simply don't have enough troops......" He paused for a second, the look on his face became very strange, "They haven't launched a frontal assault yet, but that's only a matter of time, once they start to ......"
"Okay, you don't have to report these things." The_Bruce's voice suddenly rang out, interrupting Robin's narration.
The Robin was startled when he heard this, he hurriedly turned his head, and found The_Bruce standing two meters away from him: "Yes...... Sorry sir, I didn't see you ......"
"I know." The_Bruce said, "I'm experimenting with the optical camouflage function of this armor. He walked forward slowly, his tone calm, "It seems to be good." β
"You go back to your post first." Gordon didn't speak until then, motioning for Robin to step down. After the latter left, Gordon turned to Bruce and said, "It seems...... We underestimated that clown's ability to seduce. β
"Hmm...... Not really. The_Bruce muttered, "Actually, the tastes of this mob have changed...... After so many years of putting on a show, they have gradually forgotten my true strength. This group is tired of the blood of the so-called supercriminals...... They want my blood. β
"But we have an absolute superiority in our forces." Gordon continued, "Those rabbles don't have airships, armored vehicles, and heavy weapons......
The_Bruce replied, "Hmph...... Superior forces? There are only more than 1,000 troops in total, and I don't know how many of them...... The idea of opposing me has been moved. He paused, "Although the city's population has declined and grown inversely due to years of war, there are still nearly a million people. The communications soldier just said a lot, and our troops are simply not enough. Even if our people can exchange one for ten, or even one against hundred, it will not help. β
When Gordon heard this, a strange thought flashed through his mind, but he remained silent on the surface.
"Faith." The_Bruce continued, "It's the strongest barrier, and if their faith fails, then they'll tear me, the 'god,' to shreds, and elect a new oneβjust like I did before." He snorted coldly, "Hmph...... In this game, that 'Joker' has the absolute upper hand, and he is very powerful...... And he was not only so powerful, but also his strategy and courage surprised me even more. However......" he then shifted the subject, "...... No matter how strong the victory is, before it becomes a tangible victory, there is still the variable of zΓ i being overturned. β
At this point, the scheming King of Gotham has come up with a solution.
"Gordon ......," The_Bruce said, "I have a plan in mind......" he looked at the other man, "but it needs your help." β
Gordon's expression changed slightly, and after a little deliberation, he responded, "Serve yourself, master." β
"You take my place." The_Bruce said.
"What!" Gordon's first reaction was β this was a trap, "No...... How dare I ......"
"Of course not for you to actually replace me." The_Bruce immediately continued, "I want you to pretend to revolt and swear to overthrow me, and I ...... I'm going to play a play with you......," he explained, "and the mob didn't know what I really looked like anyway (according to the original comics, The_Bruce's face was already integrated with the bat mask, and he couldn't take off the mask at all), so we'll just find a substitute for the dead, put a bat mask on him, and throw it out." β
Gordon listened to the other party's words, thinking in his heart...... Actually, he did have the idea of turning his back, if possible, he didn't want to act, he wanted to throw the real The_Bruce down, and then replace him as the god of Gotham.
But...... After all, he still lacks that kind of courage, because he is not "Gordon". The real Director Gordon died more than half a century ago. Gordon, who acts as The_Bruce's number one minion, is actually a Robin......
He was the first Robin to follow Bruce, and when he was thirty years old, he underwent a "plastic surgery" from Dr. Clipper and became the legendary "Director Gordon", the prophet of the bat god and the titular chief executive of Gotham City.
"Okay...... I'll do it......" Gordon made up his mind, then turned to the two soldiers ten meters away and said in a loud voice, "You two, go and prepare a corpse that is close to the bat god at once, and change him into a bat suit." β
The two looked at each other and hesitated for two seconds before replying in unison, "Yes!" Sir. β
After they left, Gordon walked to the edge of the high platform, turned on his headphones, and began the last speech of his life: "My children! You have been deceived! He shouted, "I've been deceived, too!" The_Bruce is a hypocritical god, this is a hypocritical game, a hypocritical game! He shouted in an aggravated tone, "The_Bruce have gone crazy, but don't worry, I've already controlled the situation!" He opened his arms, "Follow me, people of bats!" Support me! I've taken over Bat Castle! Defeated The_Bruce! He waved his arm, "Now...... Let me deliver the blood of the false god to you...... Yes! β
His words came to an abrupt end at this point, for The_Bruce had grabbed him by the waist from behind, and lifted him horizontally.
At this moment, Gordon understood...... There was no "plan" at all, there was just a trap, a trap that he failed to see.
"Gordon is the hypocrite, a failed servant, a liar." The_Bruce is worthy of being a hero, and his strategy is not poisonous, "You see...... He is crazy, he has coveted my position for many years, and he has deceived me by cheating in rituals. And now, he's babbling nonsense...... What said replaced me. β
"Nope! No! It's him...... He was the one who made me ......" Gordon tried to explain, but Bruce's arm was secretly strengthened, crushing one of Gordon's spines, causing him to scream in pain.
"Look at this utter madman, all he has in his mouth is lies and roars." The_Bruce continued, "I...... Your bat god, hand him over to you now...... Go to the trial. β
Before the words fell, he took the No. 2 person who had served him for many years, Gao Tan, ...... Threw down the high platform. RS
