Chapter 68: Reaction
"Good morning. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Dave said, holding his phone.
"Do you know what time it is?" Tony's languid and irritated voice came from the other side of the microphone.
"I know I'm almost at school." Dave replied casually.
"Do you know what happened to those guys who woke me up so early?" On the other side of the phone, Tony said irritably, "I've all fired them!" Do you know? ”
"Oh, you're amazing." Dave mocked in a very calm tone.
"Ahh With another manic yell, Tony finally regained his sanity from the anger of getting up early, and his tone regained his composure, "Hahu! Okay, now it's okay, well, Dave, you know I'm going to have a bad temper if I wake up too early. ”
"I'm sorry, I don't know, otherwise I would have called you a little earlier!" Dave said.
"Ah...... Forget it, Dave, what the hell is going on? ”
"I just want to confirm, Tony, do you know about Osborne's stock going down so much?" Dave walked through the small parking lot behind the school and around the front door.
"Huh?" Tony's surprised voice, "Oh, I didn't know about that, I really don't. Okay, let me check, hey, wait, you guys blew up the Osborne Building yesterday? ”
"We didn't do it." Dave denied it, but the next moment, he realized something was wrong, "Wait, Tony, what did you just say?" ”
"I've read the reports, and all the reports are saying you blew up the Osborne Tower, hey, now the newspapers are selling like crazy, do you need me to read you the headline? "New York City's "Watchmen of Terror"", "Watchmen and Their Destruction "Justice"", "Dawn of Explosion in the Night"! Tony read the headlines one by one, and the more he read, the more energetic he became.
"That's enough, I know, Tony, heh, these are exciting-sounding headlines, creative media ......"
"You really didn't blow up Osborne? According to the report, you fought a group of criminals and then used a secret weapon to destroy the Osborne Building, but in the end, it was the supercop Kent Aland who finally captured the escaped criminals. You really didn't do that? ”
"Oh, Kent Aland, O People's Hero!" First he sneered at Kent Aland and then Dave asked, "Hey, Tony, do you think we're going to do this?" ”
"Well, I think you will! As far as I know about us, it's quite possible to blow up a building in order to catch a few terrorists! "After all, you were planning to blow up all of Los Angeles!" ”
"But it really wasn't what we did, the terrorists who blew up the Osborne building, and besides, there wasn't a single casualty, we captured all of them, and it had nothing to do with that Kent Aland." Dave's voice was already a little excited because of Tony's distrust, "We will never carry the pot that shouldn't be carried!" ”
"Calm down, hey, Dave, calm down, do you think I don't believe you, don't trust us Watchmen? We're a team, and we're never going to do that, right? ”
"Ha, I don't think those words look like Tony Stark said!" Dave was in a better mood and was even interested in making a joke.
"Hey, I've got a bit of an ego, but I'm not as individualistic as you think, okay?" Tony replied with a smile.
Dave paused and said, "Tony, you know now, that wasn't what we did. By the way, are all the newspapers reporting the same story? ”
"Hmph, it looks like someone is deliberately discrediting the Warden Alliance, I'll try to find that guy!" Tony snorted through his nose.
"That Kent Alaand is suspicious." Dave reminded.
"I know, I'll start with him, oh, by the way, this incident is probably known to the whole of the United States, you are going to travel in a low-key manner recently, or rather, you can have a public press conference and publicly say that you didn't do all this."
"That's a good idea, but, Tony, don't think about it, we're not going to reveal who we are."
"No one asks you what to do!" Tony wasn't stupid, he knew what Dave meant.
"I'm at school, bye."
"Bye, thank you for interrupting, I'll remember, Osborne."
"Hmm!"
With a whispered reply, Dave hung up the phone and blended in with the youthful flow of people.

As the so-called folk customs are simple and simple Gotham City, there are many talents in Arkham.
In the deepest room of Arkham is a criminal who is extremely dangerous for the whole of Gotham, and indeed for the whole world.
Clown!
He was dressed in a straitjacket, wore a mask, and was strapped to a wooden chair.
No one dares to let him speak, because the words of the clown are the most terrible drugs that will bewitch your mind and drag you into irreparable madness.
Arkham has already lost a lot of guards as a result, as well as a brilliant and young psychiatrist.
In the gloomy little room, the clown grinned hard at his mouth and let out a terrible laugh.
"Hey, hey, haha, hee, hee, huhuhu......"
The laughter was low, slow, and twisted, but it was creepy, and it made the guards standing in the doorway turn pale.
Three days later, the guard could no longer bear the psychological pressure of the laughter, and with his trembling hand he inserted the key into the lock, and he opened the iron door, as if relieved.
He fell to his knees without dignity and prayed to the clown: "Let me go, let me go, clown, let my family go, let them go, please tell them, tell them that I am good to you!" ”
He kissed the Joker's funny leather shoes, but the Clown just looked at him coldly.
The guard looked up, and with hindsight, undid the clown's mask with his hand trembling with fear.
The clown gave him a "gentle smile".
"Oh, Tom, you have done a good job, your prayers have awakened my kindness, and I will be very, very good to you! Good boy, now, tell them that you can do the third step, you can be a general! Tom, I'll take away your unnecessary fears for you, hehe, heheha, you'll never have to worry about death, Tom! ”
"Yes...... Clown. The guard replied tremblingly, "Are you going out now?" ”
"No, I'd like to stay at home a little longer...... Hey, are you anxious about your reward, Tom? Don't worry, you'll get what you deserve! Yes, that's what you deserve, hahahahaha......"
Baring his teeth, the clown laughed maniacally, his red lips grinning as if they were dripping with blood.
In the midst of that horrible and unbridled laughter, the guard trembled with more and more fear.
There really wasn't a need for him to fear death, because the future would be even more terrifying.
He couldn't guess the Joker's thoughts, but he also knew that his end would never be as merciful as the Joker said.
(Finally, five thousand collections, it seems that this book is not so bad~)
