Christmas

Gotham,

0:02，

There are still 5 hours and 28 minutes before the space-time gate opens.

……

Gotham Merchants Bank, Vault.

Li Zu, who was wearing a Santa hat, tilted his head.

Death Knell stood beside him, not uttering a word. The muzzle of the gun, which was still smoking, shook gently with the breath.

On the other side, the saleswoman with a strange smile on her face was still laughing loudly, her frightened gaze and the terrifying smile on her face were intertwined into the most terrifying picture.

"Hahahaha!!"

The clown holds a gun in his right hand and puts his arm around the saleswoman's shoulder.

The corners of his mouth were cut by the blade of a knife and a big smile was cracked to his cheekbones.

"You know me?" The clown leaned forward and looked at Li Zu.

Li Zu's gaze just now, as well as the smile he said "sure enough" when he took off his black mask, all showed that Li Zu knew him.

"Well, how do you say that?"

Li Zu dropped the rifle that had been empty of ammunition in his hand, took out the sawsaw toy from his pocket, and shook it twice in the air, rattling.

Even the death knell standing beside Li Zu also looked at Li Zu strangely, through this period of contact, he thought that Li Zu should have no fear, nothing to be afraid of.

His brain is like a muddy pool of water, and he can't see any swimming fish, aquatic plants, shrimps and crabs......

But this green-haired ...... Joker, he dresses up like a thriller clown in a circus.

It was such a weird guy who actually made Li Zu show a cautious expression.

"These two people, it's really unexpected......" Deathstroke took two steps back and left the battle circle.

glanced at the clown, and then at Li Zu.

Two people, one with green hair, ugly and terrifying, the other with black hair, pale and decadent.

Two completely different people, but they give Death Knell a feeling.

"It's like ......"

……

"How so?" Li Zu raised the sawsaw toy and pointed at the clown: "If you don't like to wear skirts, then the two of us are not very familiar with each other~"

His heart was pounding and pounding.

He could feel his "fear" of the Joker, the fear of a sane soul against a chaotic and crazy monster.

At the same time, he could also feel the "excitement", the excitement of seeing another beast that was also chaotic and crazy dormant in his body.

The beast roared through Li Zu's mouth,

"Hahaha!!" It's laughter.

"Gagahahaha!!"

Deathstroke stood with his shoulders crossed, watching the two madmen laugh like a memorial to some old god, two humanoid priests praying, chanting, and dancing, with strange and deformed movements, in a vain attempt to bring chaos to the world.

The clown laughed and pushed the saleswoman away, and she looked inconspicuously like a pebble in this strange laugh.

The saleswoman fell to the ground, curled up on the ground and laughed, adding some uninteresting background to the eerie laughter.

Li Zu and the clown walked towards each other, one holding a plastic meat saw knife in his hand and the other carrying a pistol, and at this time they only had each other in their eyes.

The two laughing people seemed to be ready to hug ...... Like two old friends who haven't seen each other for many years.

They stood face to face,

Bang!

The clown suddenly raised his right hand and shot him off guard.

The smoking muzzle was crooked, and the bullet grazed the side of Li Zu's face, leaving a tiny wound on his cheek.

"Hahahaha!!" The clown is still laughing, laughing.

He slowly moved the muzzle of the gun against Li Zu's eyebrows.

The plastic meat saw in Li Zu's hand was also pressed against the clown's neck, and the plastic meat saw gradually changed into steel sawtooth, stabbing into the clown's neck.

It was as if a vicious tiger had bitten through the clown's skin, and blood was gushing from the wound.

The two of them did not back down at all, ignoring the weapons that could take their lives at any moment, instead focusing on each other's gazes, trying to catch the horror.

The clown put away his pistol: "You're such a mad dog~"

He loses interest in Li Zu, he prefers to push people into the darkness and watch people struggle, but he hates the weirdos who belong to the darkness in the first place.

"The pursuit of understanding the truth of the world is originally a crazy thing," Li Zu also smiled and raised his weapon.

He admits that he can be crazy at times, but unlike the Joker's aimless chaotic madness, he has a goal, not a mad dog without a purpose.

Knell's one eye watched the two of them the whole time, watching them suddenly fight and fight, and suddenly shake hands and make peace.

Bang!!

There was a sudden explosion overhead, and stones and bricks fell overhead

interrupted the atmosphere that made Death Knell feel uncomfortable.

The black figure also fell from the sky, half-kneeling in the field.

The thick black cloak was spread out and fell to the ground.

Batman is here!

……

……

Batman stood up from the ground, gently shaking the debris from his cape.

The situation here was completely different from what he expected.

Corpses all over the ground, scattered in all directions,

The car that emptied the vault, the engine roared and was about to leave,

The saleswoman laughing on the ground,

Masked man standing on the side...... He recognized the other party's message at a glance, Death Knell, mercenary!

In an instant, Batman made a guess from his heart based on the situation at the scene.

The man posing as Roman Siannis wants to empty the Gotham Merchants Bank, but another group, namely Death Knell's party, also arrives, and the two sides fight and fight, and the result of the battle is the corpses and blood in the place.

Not far from Batman.

A green-haired, smiling strange man with a sharp blade at the corner of his mouth, was looking at himself curiously with a pistol, his eyes full of interest.

On the roof of the Black Gate Prison, the guy in the Santa hat also stood there with a meat saw, looking at himself, it was an expectant gaze, as if he was ready to watch a good show.

Two weirdos with the same smiles,

"What about Roman Siannis?" He looked around, finally fixing his gaze on the green-haired stranger.

Intuition and clues to the scene indicate that the green-haired eccentric must have something to do with Roman Siannis's disappearance.

"Batman, Batman, Batman, Batman~~~" The Joker tilted his head and laughed weirdly.

He turned his gun sharply and pointed it at the saleswoman who was curled up on the ground laughing.

"Hahahaha" The saleswoman was still laughing, and she didn't mean to dodge.

Batman immediately lunged at the saleswoman, holding her around the ground and rolling away.

But the gunshots were not heard.

When Batman helped the saleswoman get up from the ground, he turned his head to see that the Joker was just holding a gun and aiming at him, but he didn't shoot.

"Quack Quack Hahahaha"

The Joker shoots, laughs and shoots, catching Batman off guard.

All three shots were fired in locations that were not fatal at all, but were painful enough.

Make Batman fall to the ground, his body convulsing.

A few minutes later,

When Batman got up from the ground with his chest on his feet, the Joker, Santa Hat, and Death Knell had already left in a cash truck.

Dididi——

Countdown dynamite is dropped in front of Batman.
