Bruce Wayne glanced in the direction of the elevator and turned to run in the direction of the secret passage.

He promised Chen Hao that after tomorrow, he would declare seclusion.

But today, in the face of the imminent threat to Rachel and a bunch of innocent people, Bruce can't afford to remain indifferent.

Bang!

AFTER THE GUNSHOT, JOKER SWAGGERED IN AND SHOUTED, "GOOD EVENING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN." ”

Behind him, five or six men in masks and flesh-colored stockings quickly subdued the guards on this floor with their guns.

"Oh, don't be nervous, we're on the improv entertainment show tonight." AS HE SPOKE, JOKER GRABBED A BUNCH OF FRUIT FROM THE DINING TABLE AND PUT IT IN HIS MOUTH, RAISING HIS VOICE: "I HAVE ONLY ONE QUESTION, WHERE IS HARVEY DENT?" ”

LOOKING AROUND LEFT AND RIGHT AND SEEING THAT NO ONE RESPONDED, JOKER USED HIS SHOTGUN TO CROSS THE CROWD ONE BY ONE, SNATCHED A GLASS OF CHAMPAGNE FROM THE HAND OF ONE OF THE GUESTS, AND MOISTENED HIS THROAT.

"Do you know where Harvey is?"

"What about you, you know?"

AFTER ASKING SEVERAL PEOPLE IN A ROW AND THERE WAS NO RESPONSE, JOKER GRABBED ONE PERSON'S CHIN AT RANDOM: "HI, DO YOU KNOW WHERE TO FIND HARVEY, I HAVE TO TALK TO HIM." ”

Seeing the other party's trembling appearance, he didn't seem to know.

JOKER STROKED HIS SMOOTH HEAD AND SHOUTED INTO THE HALL AGAIN, "IF HARVEY ISN'T THERE, IT'S ACCEPTABLE FOR ME TO BRING HIS GIRLFRIEND RACHEL." ”

A GUEST, WATCHING JOKER TAKE FOOD FROM HIM WITH IMPUNITY, GLARED AND SAID, "WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE SCARED OFF BY YOU SCOUNDRELS." ”

JOKER RAISED HIS EYEBROWS, SWALLOWED THE FOOD IN HIS MOUTH, AND FELT THE DAGGER AGAINST THE GUEST'S MOUTH: "YOU KNOW, YOUR APPEARANCE REMINDS ME OF MY DAD, BUT WHAT I HATE THE MOST IS MY DAD!" ”

Seeing that some guests were in danger of their lives, Rachel in the crowd took the initiative to stand up: "Enough, stop." ”

"Oh, hello, beauty." JOKER FLICKED HIS GREEN HAIR AND WALKED OVER SLOWLY, "YOU MUST BE HARVEY DENT'S HEART, HUH?" ”

WALKING AROUND THE PANICKED RACHEL, JOKER LICKED HIS LIPS AND SMILED, "YOU LOOK NERVOUS BECAUSE OF THIS SCAR ON MY FACE?" Want to know how it came about? ”

"Come, come, look at me!"

UNABLE TO REFUSE, JOKER PUT A KNIFE TO HER FACE: "YOU KNOW, I USED TO HAVE A WIFE WHO WAS AS BEAUTIFUL AS YOU. She always comforts and thinks too much, don't be sad. But she is addicted to gambling and owes usury. Hey, look at me. ”

JOKER FORCIBLY BREAKS RACHEL'S FACE, STARES HER IN THE EYE, AND CONTINUES TO TELL THE ABSURD AND UNTRUE STORY: "ONE DAY, THE LOAN SHARK CUT HER FACE. We didn't have the money to do the surgery, which was unbearable for her. I just wanted her to know that I didn't care about her scar, so I put the knife in my mouth and ...... Scratched. ”

JOKER GESTURED WITH THE DAGGER NEAR RACHEL'S CHEEK, CAUSING HER NECK TO SHRINK BACK.

"And guess what, she didn't dare look at me." JOKER'S VOICE BEGAN TO CHANGE, AND THE SUPPRESSED ANGRY VOICE WAS LIKE AN ENRAGED LION.

He grabbed Rachel's neck tightly and licked his lips, "She's gone, it's funny, I'm still smiling all the time." ”

RACHEL GLANCED AT THE DAGGER AND KICKED JOKER IN THE STOMACH.

JOKER, WHO RETREATED AGAIN AND AGAIN, STABILIZED HIS BODY, SHOOK THE DAGGER IN HIS HAND, AND APPROACHED RACHEL: "I CAN'T SEE THAT YOU'RE A LITTLE WILD, BUT I LIKE IT." ”

"If you like the wild, you'll love me."

A DEEP VOICE CAME FROM THE SIDE, AND BRUCE, WHO WAS WEARING A BATMAN SUIT, PUNCHED JOKER IN THE FACE.

Three or four of his men took turns and were all beaten by Batman.

SEEING THAT THE SITUATION IS NOT GOOD, JOKER, WHO HAS EATEN TWO PUNCHES, PICKS UP THE PISTOL THAT HIS SUBORDINATES HAVE DROPPED ON THE FLOOR, AND CATCHES RACHEL WITH ONE HAND.

He knows that this is Batman's biggest weakness.

"Put down the gun." Bruce saw Rachel being taken hostage, and his low, hoarse voice was filled with anger.

"Oh, of course, that's fine. If you take off this little mask and let everyone see who you really are, how about that? ”

JOKER HAD ALREADY GUESSED BATMAN'S TRUE IDENTITY, BUT IT WAS USELESS TO GUESS, HE HAD TO EXPOSE BATMAN'S IDENTITY IN PUBLIC, AND THEN PUSH HIM BACK INTO THE ABYSS STEP BY STEP.

Rachel knows what it would mean to expose Batman's identity.

She looked at Bruce and shook her head, telling him not to do it.

JOKER DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THAT, A SHOT SHATTERS THE GLASS BEHIND HIM, AND THEN PUSHES RACHEL TO THE EDGE,

Seeing that Rachel was in danger, Bruce couldn't keep calm anymore: "Let her go!" ”

"Let go? You have to be careful with your words. JOKER SMILED WRYLY AND SHOVED RACHEL DOWN THE STAIRS.

WITH ANGER IN HIS EYES, BRUCE DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO SETTLE ACCOUNTS WITH JOKER, AND RUSHED OUT OF THE BROKEN WINDOW WITHOUT HESITATION.

"Aha." SEEING THAT BATMAN REALLY JUMPED DOWN, JOKER PROUDLY BRUSHED HIS HAIR WITH THE BODY OF THE GUN.

He looked at the guests and asked, "So the question is, where is Harvey Dant?" ”

At this moment, the widescreen TV in the corner of the hall switched content.

STARING AT THE FAMILIAR FACE ON THE SCREEN, JOKER'S SMOKY EYES SHOWED A STRANGE LOOK.

Licking his lips, he went to the TV and turned up the volume to the maximum.

……

Gotham TV.

A female host stared at Chen Hao in the camera and whispered to the director next to her: "Who is this person, I see that all TV stations in Gotham are broadcasting this show, and it should have cost a lot of money." He...... You don't want to confess, do you? ”

"What does it matter to you if people tell you or not?" The director of the TV station glared at her, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to this, he leaned into the hostess's ear and said in a low voice: "He bought all the broadcast rights of our TV station from half past seven to eight o'clock this month, and it is estimated that several other local TV stations are too." ”

"Huh?" The hostess opened her mouth wide and looked at the Asian man in the camera in surprise,

At the same time, Gotham Prison.

Gangsters like Maroney and Francis are naturally treated much better in their cells than ordinary prisoners.

In addition to the daily three meals, it is also equipped with a television, which shows the depth of the gang's influence in Gotham.

"Who is this guy?" Seeing the image of an Asian man popping up on the TV, Francis was a little impatient.

Chen Hao in the TV screen said: "Hello to all the criminals who are in Gotham Prison or not in prison. ”

Francis and Maroney looked at each other with strange expressions.

Who is this guy?

"I'm guessing you don't know me, it's okay, you can call me 'Iceman'."

Hearing this, Francis and Maroni's expressions became solemn.

Maroni, in particular, narrowed her eyes.

This damn iceman has abolished several of his right-hand men before and after.

If it weren't for the lack of eyewitnesses, he would have been killed!

"As for me, I have a lot of money. But there is also a disadvantage to having a lot of money, that is, you don't know how to spend it. ”

Chen Hao said a bunch of seemingly nonsensical words, and suddenly took out two lockboxes and put them on the table, opening them in public.

At a cursory glance, it's probably hundreds of thousands of dollars.

"It's just a tiny, tiny part." Chen Hao took out a stack of them at random and shook them in front of the camera, indicating that these were all real money.

"Well, all the Gotham criminals listen up."

Chen Hao's left hand imitated the posture of a pistol, aiming at the shot, and there was a hint of an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Let's play a game!"
