Chapter 079: Gotham Night Shadow (Easter egg at the end of the article)
When he and Bruce came to the rooftop just now, they saw that the distance was too close, so they cut off the call.
"Hey."
"It's me, big brother." It was Jackson who called: "There's something I don't know whether to say or not." ”
"Say!" Chen Hao's eyes lit up.
"That's right, big brother. Before I was blindfolded, I saw an old man who had been stunned. Listen to them and want Batman to see him die in front of him. That's all, nothing else, and I don't know if it will help you. ”
With your own eyes and death in front of you, these two key words flood into your mind.
THINK OF JOKER'S PERFORMANCE WHEN HE RAN TO THIS ROOFTOP, AND HE WAS TIRED......
Alfred is nearby!
Bruce didn't know what was said on the phone, but looking at Chen Hao's reaction, there seemed to be a clue?
"Don't press the detonator, he's around here!"
After speaking, Chen Hao circled around the rooftop, thinking about the location that caused the explosion, can you see it more intuitively?
The entire roof area is very large, and if there is an explosion on the ground in any direction, there will be a situation where it will be invisible.
According to Joker's swaggering personality, this explosion must be the most conspicuous.
The most conspicuous!?
The corners of Chen Hao's mouth twitched, and his gaze fell back to the water tower more than twenty meters away.
This kind of circular water tower with water storage on the roof is particularly abrupt in the roof at this time.
"Water Tower!"
Seeing Chen Hao exclaim, JOKER showed an approving look.
The blood in his mouth had already stained his teeth red, and he stared at Batman Bruce in front of him: "Hehe, it's too late, there are still ten seconds." ”
In five seconds, Chen Hao came to the water tower.
In four seconds, Chen Hao used the stored kinetic energy to bounce up.
Three seconds, Chen Hao stepped on the top of the water tower and saw Alfred lying in the empty water tower, as well as a bundled bomb with only three seconds left.
Two seconds, Chen Hao jumped directly in.
In a second, Chen Hao held the bomb.
BOOM!
In order to prevent the bomb from hurting Alfred, Chen Haohu roared and pressed the bomb tightly with both hands.
He controlled the violent explosion to the size of a basketball and pressed his hands inward, in a vain attempt to force the absorption.
In order to search and capture, the kinetic energy stored in Chen Hao's body was not emptied, and the power of the explosion was fully absorbed.
Such a violent energy absorption soon exceeded his discomfort line of 150 energy, and blood began to flow wildly from his nose.
"Ahh
With a roar, the energy that overflowed 150 was converted into ice energy and erupted from Chen Hao's body.
There was a loud bang, and the water tower was blown to pieces.
The rooftop was full of ice slag and ice fragments, and JOKER stared at Chen Hao, who was holding Alfred, with a shocked look on his face for the first time.
JOKER WAS NOT AFRAID OF THE RISK OF POSSIBLE SUICIDE, AND FORCIBLY CRASHED INTO A CAR TO TEST CHEN HAO'S ABILITY TO HAVE A SIMILAR PROTECTIVE SHIELD.
In addition to using ice, it can also block concussions, guns, and damage.
I didn't expect it to be absorption?!
"No...... That's impossible! ”
SEEING THE SUDDEN CHANGE IN JOKER'S EYES, BRUCE WAS QUICK AND KICKED AWAY THE OTHER REMOTE CONTROL HE HAD TOUCHED.
In this case, there are still hole cards hidden, which is really sane and terrible.
JOKER, who has lost all his hole cards, is so crazy that he swings a dagger at Batman.
BRUCE DODGED SIDEWAYS, AND JOKER, WHO HAD OVERDASHED FORWARD, FELL OFF THE EDGE.
Adhering to the principle of not killing, Bruce grabbed the opponent's arm.
LOOKING AT JOKER HANGING IN MID-AIR, BRUCE STARED INTO HIS EYES AND ASKED, "DO YOU REALLY WANT TO DIE THAT MUCH?" ”
"Ha, as long as I can shake your faith, I will win." THERE WAS NO TRACE OF FEAR IN JOKER'S EYES.
"Is it really that important to win or lose?"
"It's not important, but it's fun, hehe." I DIDN'T SEE ANY FRUSTRATION IN JOKER'S EYES, JUST A LITTLE TIREDNESS IN HIS EYES.
If Batman represents justice on the surface of society, then JOKER represents the chaos hidden beneath the surface.
IN A SENSE, BATMAN AND JOKER ARE BOTH ANARCHISTS.
The former crossed the legal line and took matters into their own hands. The latter crosses the legal line and ignores the rules.
The reason why the character of JOKER is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people is due to the actor in the movie version, which perfectly interprets the character of this character.
Outside of brutality and madness, JOKER tends to hit the nail on the head when he tells the truth that everyone ignores.
Although the truth may be embarrassing, painful, and difficult to accept, the truth is the truth after all.
Maybe it's to pursue the principle of not killing, or maybe it's because I feel that JOKER and myself are actually a little bit similar.
BRUCE PULLED JOKER UP ANYWAY.
His brutality, his madness, is not groundless, it is made out of nothing.
It is precisely the unhealthy soil and environment of Gotham that has cultivated this group of people.
He can be called JOKER, others can be called JOKER, and those who overcome their fears and openly wave their fists at society can be called JOKER.
They are clowns made by the times.
LOOKING AT CHEN HAO, WHO KEPT SPRAYING ICE TO DISCHARGE ENERGY, JOKER LICKED HIS LIPS AND NODDED TO HIMSELF: "YOU ARE A GOOD OPPONENT." ”
Chen Hao was stunned, he and JOKER were more than 20 meters apart, and he didn't hear what he said.
However, the gray light that appeared in Joker's body gradually turned into blue light, and then it was sucked into the blue cube necklace on Chen Hao's chest.
[Purification completed, space-time fragments recovered]
[Do I need to return early?] 】
[If you don't return early, you will be forced to return after 30 minutes, and the score and rewards will start to be settled after returning]
Hearing the prompt sound of the system, Chen Hao breathed a long sigh of relief.
This difficult purification task has finally been completed.
Now that the residual energy in his body has been discharged, Chen Hao feels much better.
SHORTLY AFTER THE WATER TOWER EXPLODED, JIM GORDON LED TWO ROOKIE OFFICERS TO THE ROOFTOP AND ARRESTED JOKER.
At Bruce's behest, the unconscious Alfred was taken to the hospital for emergency treatment, and a cordon was set up at the rooftop entrance.
Now on the rooftop, there are only Chen Hao and Bruce Wayne.
They stared at the brightly lit city beneath their feet, silent.
"You did a good job in that game......" Bruce's tone was a little awkward, and after a pause, he said solemnly, "Thank you, Chen." ”
THE YOUNG MAN IN FRONT OF HIM, WHETHER IT IS STIRRING UP THE FOUNDATION OF THE ENTIRE GOTHAM GANG, OR LETTING A VICIOUS CRIMINAL LIKE JOKER BE PUNISHED, OR HE SAVED ALFRED.
Either way, it's worth a thank you from Bruce Wayne.
"Huh." Chen Hao laughed to himself and sat on the edge of the rooftop, his legs dangling in mid-air.
The new use of banknote power was inspired by Stark's acquisition of Fisk.
Money is not everything, but money can do a lot of things.
He stared at the city beneath his feet, and a sense of loss rose in his heart.
"It's time for me to go, Bruce."
This walk, not going home, means leaving the place.
Bruce stared at the back, not speaking.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Chen Hao didn't look back, and continued: "That black money is all in the warehouse on Clinton Street, a big truck. Those who want to get a bonus and start a new life, give them money when they get the incriminating evidence. ”
"Chen, actually, you don't have to leave, Gotham needs you."
Recall that in the restaurant, several people chatted about the Batman Heirs.
Bruce's mouth opened under his mask, and he didn't continue.
"It's enough for Gotham to have a Knight of Light like Harvey Dent, not two." Chen Hao turned his head and looked at Bruce's bat mask that couldn't see emotions: "You just let me die in the explosion." ”
“……”
Stand on the rooftop and look out at Gotham City at night, a city that is about to take on a new look.
Bruce knew that Chen Hao had made up his mind, and if he didn't ask about some things, he would never have a chance again.
"Will you ever come back?"
Chen Hao touched his chin and didn't reply to Bruce in a hurry.
His eyebrows lifted, as if he had thought of something interesting.
"Bruce, I remember you enjoyed sneaking away while others were talking, and I wanted to try it too."
This is a habit of Batman in the movie.
Jim Gordon often doesn't finish his sentence, and the camera is everything, and Batman slips away.
The last time he slipped away on the rooftop of the police station, he happened to be caught up by Chen Hao.
"You turn around and count for thirty seconds. I'm going to jump down here. How about you find me and consider whether or not to stay? ”
Bruce didn't respond, and replaced the answer with a turnaround motion.
Staring at Batman's back, Chen Hao felt a sense of loss in his heart.
He looked down at the bottom of the building, which was as dark as an abyss, glanced back in a trance, and jumped out.
Thirty seconds later.
Bruce reached the edge of the rooftop and looked into the darkness that the lights couldn't shine on.
Does he know that he can't catch up with Chen Hao?
He knows.
But why did he turn around?
He couldn't tell.
After a moment of silence, Bruce jumped off the rooftop.
The pitch-black bat suit blended in with the night.
……
Half an hour later.
At the place where the two jumped off the rooftop, a wave of spatial fluctuations appeared out of thin air.
A bald woman suddenly appeared on the rooftop.
She glanced at the city beneath her feet, pinched her fingers, and shook her head slightly.
With a wave of her arm, an arc-shaped spatial door appeared in front of her.
When she got inside, the space door disappeared in an instant.
All things returned to darkness.
It's like she's never been here.
