Chapter 28: Prey (3)
As soon as the words fell, on the display screen in front of Wayne's eyes, the surveillance screen of the time appeared.
At the beginning of the picture, there is a sound of an elevator arriving at the station, and then a person wearing a maintenance worker's costume appears in the picture, because the monitor on the floor is leaning over from top to bottom, so only the back of this person can be seen.
The man staggered forward, and I don't know if it was because of the hunchback, or because his overalls didn't fit him, but in short, his steps gave people a very awkward feeling.
Suddenly, the man stopped, inexplicably opened the window next to him, and then pulled something out of the toolbox and threw it down the window.
Forthwith......
The maintenance man turned his head......
His face finally appeared on the screen, a sharp, white, and ridiculous face, and his turn this time was definitely not an unintentional move, but deliberate, because he stared directly at the monitor, as if he could pass through the camera and see the person who was looking at this picture.
Wayne frowned.
"It looks like this gentleman has left a clue for you." Alfred said lightly.
Batman was silent for a while, did not answer, but quickly rolled down from the window, and then came to the back of the building, just in the surveillance footage, under the opened window, there was a delicate gift box with a cute bow.
Batman carefully opened it, and at the same time, he used the cloak behind him to cover himself to avoid any poisonous needles or explosions or anything like that.
Of course, there was no such thing in it, but only one ...... Tickets.
A ticket to an amusement park with a red crescent-shaped shape painted on it, like a ...... A mouth......
"Where is this?" Batman asked.
"A playground on the northern outskirts of the city, but it's been abandoned for years, and this one in your hand may be the only ticket they've sold in recent months."
"Well, it looks like this is a grand invitation, and ...... Help me push off the evening party, I might be home late......"
As he spoke, Batman turned around and disappeared into the shadows of the building.
......
......
Central location of the playground, on the Ferris wheel.
"Bastard! You deceived me? I have to warn you that it's not good for you that I'm dead! The director of the exchange yelled, and at this moment, he was firmly tied to a sitting box on the Ferris wheel...... Of course, it's outside the box.
"What? Deceit? Hahahaha-" The man next to him began to laugh and continued to tighten the rope in his hand: "I didn't cheat on you, I just took a picture of you and your mistress, and gave you a ticket, and you ran out of the police circle and came here to find me..... I didn't say a single promise to you. Oh, by the way, you might have to thank me, because you would have died in your room, and maybe you didn't know it, but 10 minutes after you left your house, your home was blown up...... Hahaha...... I planted the bomb, but you should thank me, shouldn't you? ”
"What...... What the? The director was completely confused: "You...... Who are you? Why are you doing this? I'm ......."
"Smack!"
With a crisp mouth, the man shook the palm that had just flashed on the director's face.
"Hey, I hate it when people interrupt me." The man said, "Where did you just go?" ..... Well...... Never mind. ”
As he spoke, he pulled out something that looked like a button for a remote control or something.
"Do you know what this is?"
"No....... I don't know. "After that mouthful, our elder is really much more honest.
"Of course, you don't know, because even I don't know what it is, but it looks like it's supposed to be the detonator of a bomb...... Hahaha-" The man laughed suddenly.
"No, no, please, I can give you as much money as you want, please let me go, woo woo woo-"
"Oh, don't cry, that's fine, if you can still smile now, I won't press this button, how about it?"
The man said with a smile...... However, how could the director laugh at this moment, he could only cry and mourn while desperately squeezing his lips.
"To be honest, this smile is too ugly, why don't I help you." As he spoke, he took out a dagger from his pocket and stuffed it into the other's mouth.
"Trust me, I'll help you draw a perfect smiley, like I did...... Oh, don't look at me with that kind of fear, when I was in the circus, no one liked to listen to my jokes, at first, I didn't know why, and finally one day, a man told me that if my jokes didn't even make me laugh, then how could anyone laugh, so after that, I practiced smiling every day...... But unfortunately, I don't have any talent, and my laughter is as ugly as crying, oh oh oh, yes, like you are now...... And then, guess what? I came up with the brilliant idea that I wanted my smile to be engraved on my face, so that I could have the perfect smile all the time, right? ”
He seemed to be suddenly excited, and really showed a smile, and the director could clearly see the disgusting teeth that were showing out of his grinning scar.
"Woo woo, don't do this, I still have a family, and a wife......"
The man seemed to have heard something, which made him stunned for a moment, but the next second, he seemed to return to his original state.
"So, you don't want me to help you? Oh well, that's all I can ...... I pressed this. ”
After saying that, he shook the detonator in his hand with a smile, and then turned his head to hide when a child lit fireworks.
"No———— no————"
The director shouted heartbreakingly, of course, it was useless, the man hid to the side, and then grinned...... I pressed the switch in my hand.
Then......
"Smack"!
Uh, yes, just a "pop", there was no deafening loud noise at all, and there was no explosion, just a few lights found the director's body, making the neighborhood look like a stage, and in the shadow in front of the Ferris wheel, because of these lights, the outline of a camera was reflected.
The director stopped shouting, but it was clear that he had peed his pants.
And the man who had been hiding to the side also walked out with a confused face.
"Well, okay, I'll just say I don't know what this thing is, but now that I think about it, it's not a bomb...... Let's shoot something interesting today, so ...... Look at the camera and smile......"8)
