Chapter 380: The Endgame: The Last Battle
"It takes about fifteen seconds for the analyzer to start." Batman half-crouched at the edge of the huge green pool they had just discovered, scanning it with the analyzer.
Roy, who was standing behind him, said, "The Joker must have discovered this place by chance after falling off a cliff in Arkham City." The Dionysian factor healed his falls and fractures, and incidentally cured the titantoxin in his blood that was already killing him. ”
After a pause, he added, "The clown wants us to believe that he is immortal." When we study the past of the Gotham Presbyterians, we find him in photographs from a century ago. I then asked Barbara to scan her photographs from all eras of history with facial recognition software, and it turned out that he was everywhere. ”
"But that's just a trick." Batman said.
Roy nodded: "That's what I thought, it's his new trick, another trick, that's all." ”
Batman slipped the tip of his syringe into the green liquid, "He's a mortal, he must be." ”
The data was uploaded to Barbara's side synchronously, and her happy voice came after a while: "Match the virus!" Adecco uses this to create the decay factor, you found it! Bring a sample and I'll be able to synthesize the antidote in no time! ”
At this moment, Roy suddenly said loudly: "Wait! My scanner scanned the high heat response bomb and activated! ”
"Boom!"
The explosion happened so suddenly, as if it surrounded them from all sides. Dazzling fires flashed simultaneously from all directions, and the entire underground space began to shake, and rubble and powder rained down from the dark roof of the cavern.
"Get out of there! Both of you! Barbara shouted anxiously, "The explosion has damaged the structure of the cave, and it could collapse at any moment!" ”
"Yes." Batman said as he tightened the rope around his "eyes" filled with Dionysian factors.
However, things certainly can't be so easy.
The sound of "whoosh" breaking through the air was mixed with the roar of collapse, and two snow-bright flying knives broke through the air.
Roy turned to one side and blocked the knife with his gloved wrist.
Laughter echoed through the hollow cavern, like mockery.
Less than five paces away from the two of them, the clown held a short knife in each hand, and his smile was grim as if he was about to drip blood.
"What are you doing in such a hurry, two? Well? The clown said, "I still have a lot of ~ things like I want to talk to you about." ”
"Tie your 'eyes' and pull them up first, that's the priority." Roy said without looking back, stepped forward, and then raised his voice, "It's game over, Joker, and that's the end of the trick." You want us to believe that you are the pale man, the immortal, but we all know that is not true. ”
"Oh~ I'm sorry you think so." The Joker laughed, "So if you really believe that, why don't you try it and see if you can kill me?" ”
Roy smiled lightly: "That's exactly what I mean." ”
But even Roy never expected it, the attack came from behind.
Without saying a word, Batman suddenly grabbed his throat from behind, and the anesthetic needle from the index finger of the glove stabbed him in the neck.
"What!?"
Roy was startled and turned to look at Batman, only to see the latter staring at him expressionlessly and indifferently.
"I'm sorry, Roy." He said lightly, "But today we can't all die here, you can't, you have more important things to do." ”
Roy gritted his teeth, his vision blurred, and he wanted to say something but couldn't. But he still gritted his teeth and stayed awake, as if he was unwilling to fall.
"I'm sorry."
After saying sorry again, Batman threw a punch and knocked him unconscious.
Batman crouched down and fastened the buckle of the harness to the Wingknight's belt.
"Pull him up, Batgirl." He ordered lightly, "And 'eyes'." ”
"Bruce, listen to me!" Barbara already had a premonition of what might happen next, and said anxiously, "Fasten your seatbelts, you guys have to come back together!" ”
"Nope." Batman said, "The Joker will follow us to stop us, I have some things to attend to down there." ”
Barbara had no choice but to pull Roy and Eye back along the cave they had entered.
The clown was there watching the whole time, and then laughed: "I'm so impressed, bat!" You cherish our last alone time so much! Ha ha! ”
He clenched his hands and rushed up like a wind: "Don't worry, I'll enjoy it too!" ”
It was so fast, like two silver arcs of light, that Batman only had time to shrink back, the blade grazing the armor on his chest, slicing a little.
It's so fast, so fast that it's completely different from what I remembered. Batman always remembered that the Joker was quick and fast, but never so fast.
Batman leaned back, dodged another stab and kicked the Joker in the chest.
"Hahahaha!"
With a shrill laugh, the Joker jumped up and jumped more than a meter high, and Batman's kick was immediately kicked into the air. The Joker rolled over in the air, stepped on the back of Batman's helmet, twisted behind him with the help of force, and stabbed the knife into Batman's back with a "whoosh", splashing blood.
Batman turned around and swung his fist again, but he swung it again, and the Joker had already turned over on the gray stone wall with a movement that even Olympic gymnasts could not reach, and pulled Batman horizontally through the back with a knife.
"I know what you're thinking, Brussey"
Batman turned around again in anger, his fist slamming out like bullets. The clown's ghostly body had floated away lightly, and the fist with enough force to crack the stone slammed into the stone wall, and the clown's other knife took the opportunity to plunge into his other shoulder.
A smiling face, he used two knives and a scar to carve a blood-drenched smiling face on Batman's back, like a mockery.
"So fast? I must have been training since we last met, you must have thought so, right? Ha ha! The clown said triumphantly, "Is it because of the Dionysian factor?" Or maybe it's just maybe! Have I always been so fast, but I made you think I was slow? ”
Batman gasped low and glared.
"Oh oh, don't look at me like that, think about the good times we had," the clown opened his arms, "and smile!" ”
At this moment, Batman may know in his heart what will happen next.
But he had been prepared and even knew that his career might end there. Dick Grayson used to joke when he was Robin that Batman's heart was beating twice wasn't a normal weekend.
Batman himself once said-
- If I miss, I'll die. And one day, I'm going to miss. But before that, I kept fighting.
He clenched his fists, regained all his remaining strength, roared, and charged at the clown again. (To be continued.) )
