27. Conflict, Outbreak [26/100]
"You won't stop me, I guess, will you?"
Holding the clown in his hand who had completely given up on resistance like a dead dog, Cyber raised his head and said in a voice that took it for granted, "You have no reason to stop me, my friend. ”
"You can't do it, so I'm here to help you!"
He seemed to be asking, and it was like a final judgment.
Bruce hugged Rachel, he took a few steps forward, let Rachel go, and motioned for her to leave, but Rachel didn't... Standing here, one is the one she loves dearly, the other is a good friend who has saved her more than once, she is not a stupid woman, she knows very well that the clown has become the point of contention between these two people.
Growing up with Bruce, she knew that this man was quite stubborn about his insistence on himself, and her eyes fell on Cyber opposite, and her remaining memories were still in Cyber's actions of slashing and killing those bandits in Arkham Asylum... Such a person, can you expect him to step back in such a thing?
It's like two beasts competing for their prey, they won't retreat, they just fight together frantically until one pierces its fangs into the other's veins.
"No!
Rachel grabbed Bruce's arm, but Batman just glanced back at her and pulled her fingers off his own.
"Get out of here... Call Gordon. ”
"It's over"
Rachel skipped this thought in her mind, Bruce had already made up her mind, this battle was inevitable, she bit her lip, looked at Cyber, then at Bruce, who was waiting for him, and finally turned and walked away quickly.
When there were only three men left in the hall, the aura of battle was at the extreme, and Cyber tilted his head to look at Bruce who was standing in place, he shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak, just turned around, grabbed the clown's collar and dragged him on the dirty ground, and the clown, who was dragged forward by Cyber, lay on the ground like he had no bones, allowing his body to cross the ground.
He was nervous enough to applaud Batman as he stood there, and shouted,
"Look, look, this is a dark knight with a bottom line, he is not willing to hurt his friends, he is even willing to give up his bottom line for this, a cold-blooded bastard like me is moved, but it doesn't matter, really!"
He winked at Batman and "comforted" him,
"I know, you don't have to feel guilty about it, it's a good thing that Mr. Red Devil will remove a destabilizing factor for Gotham, but, you know what? Batman, the big bat..."
The Joker's voice grew muffled, and his body brushed the fruit bowl on the ground that had been thrown everywhere, making a dirty mark on the ground, and his eyes looked directly at Bruce who was standing there, and he said,
"You have too many principles, you still think they can make you whole, they can make you different from us, hahahaha, no, you have to face reality, you are actually no different from me and him, those principles are just some distorted senses of justice that you profess yourself... It binds you. ”
He reached out and picked up a berry on the ground that was about to slide to the elevator entrance, threw it into his mouth, and said as he chewed,
"You know what? I'm actually the same kind of person as this Mr. Red..."
Cyber glanced at him, his voice getting deeper and deeper, "I'm sorry, we're not, I don't think it's my kind that I can kill." ”
The clown was a little speechless by this sentence, and when it came to force, 10 of them added up were no match for this red beast.
"Ding"
The elevator door opened, and the clown was dragged into the elevator by Cyber, his voice amplified to the extreme at this moment, that madness, as if he was roaring,
"Break it, break those bad principles of yours, and you can see the truth... The only sensible way to survive in this world is to have no principles!"
As the elevator doors close, the Joker struggles to poke his head out of the elevator and gives Bruce a big smile.
"You know, tonight, whether I'm dead or alive, you're going to shatter your only principle, that's great... Hahaha, I love this to death! I swear! I love it!
The elevator door closed, the numbers on it were beating fast, they were rushing to the top floor of the Wayne Building, Bruce stood in place, he didn't move, he didn't reply, there was no emotional fluctuation, but at the moment when the elevator numbers were over, his fists were clenched.
"Wow"
Six sharp blades bounced out of the gauntlets... Yes, he made a decision, and it's hard to say if it was because the Joker's words that he ended up saying like a madman touched him, but you have to admit that he did have a point.
In the elevator, Cyber leaned against the cold glass wall with his hands down, and at his feet was Gotham, which was getting smaller and brighter, and the clown sat on his lap, with nothing to tie him up or restrict his movements, but the guy didn't have the slightest idea of escaping.
The lights in the elevator shone quickly in the small space, and from outside the glass shell, the light and darkness collided in every part of the elevator, casting a special halo on the two people who were rising rapidly.
The clown's eyes swirled left and right in the blackened sockets, and finally he rolled up boredly, muttering words that no one could understand, messy hair, decadent spirit, if he was willing to wash off the bad dress on his face, change into a clean outfit, and deal with the horrible scars, he was actually no different from a young man in his 20s.
"You... Why don't you stop me?"
The Joker spoke, and all his emotions seemed to have subsided while he was alone with Cyber, and he asked in a magnetic voice, "Why don't you stop me from saying those words, you know, it's going to drive a person with a bottom line crazy... That black bat is going to rush up!"
He raised his hands and gestured clumsilyly in the air, "He's going to grab you by the neck, he's going to ask you to let me go... I mean, he's going to put me in jail or an insane asylum, he'd rather believe that humanity is going to be beautiful than turn a blind eye to that unrepentant ugliness, and I think you're normal compared to him, you see, I'm really just thinking a little bit ahead of my time. ”
He looked at Cyber "innocently", who closed his eyes slightly, and after a moment, he whispered,
"Why stop it?"
"If he wants to come, let him come. ”
The answer didn't seem to be beyond the Joker's guess, and he smacked his lips, "Looks like you're confident, man..."
"Do you know what medicine is really important for this sick city?"
Cyber suddenly asked, interrupting the Joker's words, which made the Joker a little uncomfortable, in the past, he used to talk about others to bring his own logic, and then instill his own set of completely different systems into others, but as long as he stood with Cyber, his bad feeling became stronger and stronger.
They really are like a kind of people... The Red Devil is like a less crazy man, the same unprincipled, the same disdainful of human life, the same... There is no bottom line!
No! No, no, no!
The Joker shook his head violently, the red devil would not be a person without a bottom line, otherwise Batman would not be his friend, he just pretended to have no bottom line, he just didn't find his bottom line...
There was a look of interest on his terrible face, and he was now sincerely thanking the gangsters who had hired him to play the game, and it was getting more and more fun now!
"That's the question... I know! I have my answer. ”
The clown snorted, he comfortably pillowed his arms behind his head, put his legs on the floor of the glass elevator, and hummed a song while saying, "I know you have your own answer, why don't you say it first, let me hear it, and then I'll say my answer again, let you listen to it." ”
"Fair and pleasant, isn't it?"
"Ding Dong"
The elevator door opened at this moment, and the dark floor was greeted by the top floor, which was the top floor of the Wayne Building, and only one step of stairs was needed to reach the top, Cyber reached out and lifted the clown's collar, and the short knife in his other hand slashed a cold light in the air, piercing into the elevator control panel.
"Bang"
Sparks flew around, and he drew his dagger and dragged the clown into a dark floor.
"Fair enough, but I'm sorry, I don't have time to listen to you. Save your answer for Satan, maybe he'll find you funny and let you go to heaven. ”
"Bang Dang"
The door to the top of the building was kicked open, and the top floor of the huge Wayne Building, where many huge billboards were placed, and various complex air circulation systems of the building, the complex was like a steel labyrinth.
Seber dragged the clown by the collar and led him to the edge of the top floor,
"Get on your knees!"
He gave an indifferent order, the clown obediently did so, Seb stood behind him, in front of the two of them, there was a space more than 200 meters high, the clown poked his head and looked down, and he was dizzy and quickly retracted it, the howling night wind blew his messy hair up, his hands folded on his chest, as if he was frightened, he turned his head to look at Cyber like a dark red shadow in the dark.
"You're not going to throw me down, are you?
Cyber pulled out his short knife and pressed it against the back of the clown's neck, the cold blade made goosebumps rise on the clown's back, but he didn't beg for mercy, just whispered,
"I'm just a man who explores secrets, you know? I saw him, it was the first time, and I really can't imagine that this crazy city would idolize a masked, violent "knight" who is crazy... You know what? The Robin Hood of the story has come to life! He is the one who makes this city so crazy!"
The clown's voice sounded in the darkness, and there was an unexpected tranquility, as if chatting with a friend,
"You know what? I've been through it for a long time, but I don't care... Why should I care what some self-righteous fool thinks?"
"But... To them, to the citizens you have protected, you are also a freak, a freak like me! you are a hero when they need you, and when they don't need you, they will expel you, the morals and rules of this world are a boring joke, I have long seen the funny side of this world, when they get into trouble, those bastards throw it away, they only be good people when they enjoy peace..."
"You want to know what I'm doing, right?"
The Joker looked back at Cyber, his calm suddenly shattered at this moment, and he roared like a beast, "You know that, right?"
Cyber looked at him and took a deep breath,
"You're trying to show us that, in a critical moment, these... These self-proclaimed civilized people will kill each other without any scruples... They will eat each other, very noble ideals ... But it's a pity that the things you did have nothing to do with me, it doesn't matter how many people you kill me, and it doesn't matter what you want to prove to me!"
"The life or death of this city has nothing to do with me, you just shouldn't mess with me, that's all. ”
"Rest assured, the people who hired you will soon be down to accompany you. ”
Cyber's left hand was raised high, the night wind stirred his dark red cloak, rustling behind him, the short knife shining with a cold and eerie light under the light on the roof, "I'm a person who holds a grudge, and I suddenly don't want to let them go." ”
"Buzz"
The dagger slashed through the air with a deadly buzz, the clown straightened up, he laughed madly in the night wind, a villain like this, even if he died, there would not be a moment of peace,
"Hahahaha, I'm not mistaken, you're the real villain! A hedgehog who is afraid of uneasiness, you are afraid of anyone entering your world, and you are so quick to get rid of the unstable factors? Hahaha, you poor worm who is afraid of all changes, at a loss, you will only arm yourself with violence, you are much more pitiful than me!"
"Admit it, Red Devil... You're a madman, too!"
A fierce light flashed in Cyber's eyes, and the speed at which the blade descended became faster again, and it only took 1 second for this bastard to say goodbye to this world completely, which was a good thing for everyone.
"When"
Cyber's dagger was struck by two fast-flying batrangs, deflected a little, and slid down the clown's neck, slicing through his coat, miraculously not harming the villain in the slightest.
"Ha, hahaha..."
The clown who escaped death laughed and rolled to the side holding his shoulders, he laughed wildly, his breath was short, no matter how crazy a person was, he would not be indifferent in the face of death, but he knew that the most dangerous time had passed.
He crawled a few steps awkwardly on the ground, hiding himself in the corner of the massive instrument, his eyes glistening in the darkness.
He knows... The good show caused by him is about to begin, and he will be the only audience.
