Chapter Seventy-Four: The Joker's Plan

At Gotham Pier, a cargo ship chirps as it docks. Two trucks waited with their doors open, and a group of long-awaited strong men in clown masks jumped out and headed for the boat.

"Load, brethren." A clown thug shouted, "We don't want to disappoint the boss, do we?" ”

"You don't like the way your boss looks when he's bored." Another replied, "I've never seen him angry, I've only seen him get bored...... Seriously, have you ever seen a clown get angry? ”

"Who knows?" A thug opened the cargo door, walked down with a large packed suitcase, and said, "He painted his mouth into laughter, and laughed so madly every day that you can't imagine him being angry." ”

The pier is barely lit. In the darkness, none of them noticed, a black dart spun rapidly under the cover of the night and nailed to the ground between several people, and a red indicator light in the center of the dart was flickering and flickering.

"Boom!"

The tiny dart erupted into a powerful blast, accompanied by a roar and firelight, which staggered several thugs standing around.

Several people fainted, but only one who was standing a little farther away was still awake. He tried to get up, but saw the black bat spread its wings and flutter down from the air, punching him back to the ground with a punch on the head. The poor creature's head slammed into the ground with a muffled thud, and the concussion caused him to faint too.

Several thugs, attracted by the commotion, rushed out of the middle of a pile of containers at the dock and saw the bat pull a rope and fly up to the top of a container.

"It's Batman!"

He shouted to warn the scattered brethren to be vigilant as a shuttle of bullets swept towards the rapidly moving black figure. The bullets flew in a series of flickering sparks across the container, but none of them seemed to hit Batman.

"Work in pairs, search separately!" The mob shouted, "Watch out for each other's backs!" ”

The idea is good, but it's a pity that a group of two people can face the famous Batman?

One of the thugs cautiously moved forward back to back, still worried about each other's care, constantly turning their heads to make sure that there was really no situation behind them.

However, from the darkness between the two containers on the side, a black figure flashed out, and without giving them a chance to react, he slammed the head of one of them into the container, and the impact made a dull loud noise, like a meteor hammer hitting the steel plate.

"Over there!"

The rest of the gangsters rushed towards this place at a rapid pace. And the person's partner, who had just been solved by Batman, also turned the gun and tried to fight back at the first time. But turning the muzzle of the gun was more than enough time for a well-trained man, Batman grabbed the barrel of the gun with one hand and pulled the gun out of the man's hand, and slammed his fist into the guy's face with the other, shattering the bridge of his nose with a punch and curling up in pain.

When the other two groups of thugs arrived here, one on the left and one on the right, they only caught one corner of clothes that had disappeared on top of the container.

"Hell! Are we going to die here? One shouted in despair.

Another thug said: "Take it easy, I've heard, Batman doesn't kill people, and it's not a big deal to get caught by him." ”

Although he was so comforted, his voice was trembling.

"Yes, if you don't kill people, you will only be beaten to death." The other had a crying voice.

"We can't be apart anymore, we have to work together! To separate is to find death! "Finally someone made this suggestion.

Somewhere in the shadows, Batman crouched in the shadows, watching the movements of these thugs with cold eyes, listening to their discussions. Holding together is a wise choice, but unfortunately now there are only four of them left.

A small ball rolled through a gap in the bottom of a container with pulleys to the feet of several thugs, and the smoke screen quickly spread, forming a net that swallowed the four men in one gulp.

While a few people were still coughing, Batman had already rushed in. All you could hear was shouts and punches and kicks from the smoke screen, and one by one the thugs were knocked to the ground.

Only one person, the moment the smoke screen opened, ran in one direction and ran lifelessly, and actually ran out of the smoke screen that seemed to be about to eat people. But before he could run a few steps, a rope came out of the smoke screen, and the batclaw bit his trouser leg mercilessly, and pulled him back without saying anything.

Batman pinned him to the ground, grabbed the man's head by the collar, and asked, "You secretly shipped a large number of weapons this week, where did you go?" ”

The man stammered, "I ...... I don't know, I'm just in charge of picking up the goods here, and when I get them, I'll pass them on to another group of people, and they'll be in charge of shipping them somewhere else...... No one knows where the weapons will end up. ”

"Who do you work for?"

"Little ...... Clown. ”

Without saying a word, Batman punched him in the face, and the force of the punch skewed half of his Joker mask.

"The Joker has been imprisoned in Arkham!" Batman drank.

"Yes. Yes......" the thug said resignedly, "we know, but ...... You know, he's a clown. We heard that he had gone to Arkham, but in a few days he would be instructed to grab something or blow it up, and no one dared to ask him why. You know, that's a clown, and God knows what his purpose is. ”

Batman said, "How did he give you orders?" ”

"Mail, email!" He said hurriedly.

"Thank you, it helped a lot." As he spoke, Batman knocked the guy unconscious with a punch, straightened up, and connected to the communication.

"Alfred, I just caught another batch of arms smuggling, and it was the Clown's men who did it."

Alfred was equally puzzled, "But the Joker is already in Arkham, and Mr. Green must have caught him." ”

"It looks like that, but I'm afraid he has something else to offer." "He's planning something, something that he can do if he's locked up himself." I had to find out what it was and stop him. ”

"But how?"

"Just ask." Batman said, "Cancel Bruce tomorrow night? With all the appointments on Wayne's schedule, I'm going to Arkham Asylum, I'm going to meet the Joker in person and ask him what he's up to. ”
