Chapter 571: Deadly Game
Chapter 571
"I don't know who you are, but now you can say what you ask, and I can grant you anything. I don't know what kind of past you have. However, none of this is about the children. Let them go, and I'll be your hostage. ”
Thomas said loudly.
But the clown responds to him with a mad laugh?
"Hahaha...... Hostages, you think they're my hostages. You're wrong, I never use hostages. I just finished a game with them. Now, it's your turn, Thomas Wayne. You have given a lot for these children. Now, I don't know if you're willing to pay more. ”
The Joker said, throwing a pistol at Thomas.
"The game is simple, you kill people, right?"
"What?" Not only Thomas, but also many surrounding media began to boil.
"Don't you understand? Then I'll be more detailed, if you kill one person, I'll let all the children out. Anyone can do it, these reporters who are watching, the police outside, the masses, and even you can cooperate with the police to get some criminals who have committed serious crimes to come and kill them, there is no problem.
I just want you to kill someone, and then I'll let them go. Just one person can change the lives of all children. Isn't it a very fun game? Thomas Wayne, you have a choice now. ”
There is no doubt that this is definitely an impossible choice to make. No matter what happens, there is no way Thomas can kill a person in front of dozens of media outlets. Even if that person is a criminal. In fact, even when no one is around, he doesn't kill people. Although he is extremely powerful in the mall, he is not the kind of hero who can kill.
However, it only took a moment of thought for Thomas to understand the pitfalls of this game. Or rather, the true meaning of this game. The clown is talking about letting him kill someone. And killing anyone is against the law. But this point is actually not absolute, because there is a last option, and that is to kill yourself. It took Thomas less than a minute to understand the Joker's true intentions.
But it was impossible for him to say that. Let's not say that he didn't mean to commit suicide. Once this option was revealed, the entire Wayne Group was driven to the fire.
Although in any way, it is understandable that he did not commit suicide to save people. But reality is not black and white. As long as this option is announced, and he doesn't do it, someone will definitely take the opportunity to attack him.
And if those children do die because of this, then everything is even more irreparable. This absurd reason may make him socially dead.
However, if Thomas doesn't say it, it doesn't mean that no one around him wants to understand. A reporter thought for a long time, and suddenly showed a fanatical expression.
"I see." He shouted. This sent a shudder through Thomas, but it was too late.
"You can kill yourself. Mr. Thomas. If you commit suicide, you can save these children without breaking the law. The reporter shouted excitedly, and his face revealed a twisted pleasure. It was clear that he had sensed the pitfalls of this game. But he still deliberately shouted out loudly.
Sure enough, he shouted. The whole scene was boiling.
For a split second, almost all cameras were focused on Thomas. All the reporters seemed to forget about the group of terrorists not far away, and went crazy and extended the microphone and camera to Thomas.
"Mr. Thomas, what would you choose?"
"Mr. Thomas, which do you think is more important than the lives of the two hundred or so children?"
"Mr. Thomas, why don't you do it, that's more than two hundred children!"
“.…..” The words of the journalist are becoming more and more sharp. The surrounding melon-eating crowd is also shouting frantically. At this moment, this corner of Gotham seems to have never been changed by Su Yuan, or maybe Su Yuan has only suppressed something over the years. After he left, all those dark, twisted sins erupted in an instant.
Being able to 'justifiably' urge a big man who can only look up to him to die seems to have inspired countless reporters at the scene and a certain dark desire of the people who eat melons. They waited excitedly for Thomas's response. You don't have to open your mouth, the expression on their faces says, you hurry up and die.
The clown not far away did nothing, just quietly watched the distorted scene in front of him. There was an orgasmic pleasure on his face. It seems that this distortion and confusion is the source of his excitement.
Thomas looked back at Martha, who was not far away, and the other party was rushing towards him like crazy. But his bodyguards and assistants stopped him. Behind him, another bodyguard nodded slightly.
Thomas understood, and turned back to deal with the Joker. But at this time, the clown suddenly raised his hand and shot the head of a little girl in the front.
"You fouled, Thomas Wayne. You're trying to stall for time and then have your commandos force your way in. I'll give you a little warning about your behavior. It's a game between us, to get those who have nothing to do with. Remember, you killed this girl. If you keep persevering, more children will fall in front of you. ”
Thomaston was stunned. He couldn't figure it out, even he didn't know the movements of the commandos, why would the clown know. What he didn't know, of course, was that the clown was actually guessing. This person, although crazy, does not affect his IQ. He guessed that Thomas couldn't just walk in like that. So deliberately defrauded. It's just that his methods of deceiving people are all using human lives as bargaining chips.
Thomas was silent again. He certainly wouldn't kill himself. But he hesitated for less than a minute, and the clown pulled out his gun again, killing the other child. The police outside were already impatient and ready to charge. But among those children, there were a dozen crazy people with bombs strapped to their bodies.
As long as the police dare to rush in, the clown dares to set off the bomb to ensure that the police can't take out a single living person.
"You're trying to kill me? Do we know each other? Thomas said to the Joker.
"Of course you do, but you're the famous Thomas Wayne. It's just that you don't know me. Seriously, you're running out of time. Ten seconds later, I'll kill another person. Thomas Wayne, your time is over. ”
The clown sings this last line in an aria. At this time, Thomas finally picked up the pistol on the ground.
