Ground floor.

"The signal is roughly in the area ahead." Standing at the fork in the road of several pipes, Roy said, "But further along, the signal is blurry and cannot be accurately located." According to the structural diagram of the piping system, there are about five possible directions ahead. ”

"Five directions, exactly five of us." Damien snapped his hands and said, "Let's go our separate ways. ”

Roy didn't reply right away, but frowned and thought for a moment.

"Any questions?" Barbara asked.

Roy said: "I just think it's a coincidence." I mean, why did you choose this route with five forks in the road? Does it feel like Clay Face is deliberately seducing us to split up? ”

Nightwing shrugged, "That mud-faced head has never been so bright. Maybe it's just a coincidence, it's just that you're thinking too much. ”

Damian snorted, "What? Are you alone afraid of the dark? ”

Roy didn't pay attention, and after a little consideration, he said, "Okay then." But everyone, stay vigilant and take care of yourself. If you spot Clay Face or Blues, contact someone else right away, understand? ”

So, the split action was decided.

And at this time, no one, including Roy, expected what exactly they were dealing with.

Coming to Gotham for a while, Roy is no stranger to the city's pipelines. The foul smell of sewage, the filth that falls off the outer walls from time to time, and the labyrinth-like bifurcation system. It's like a huge labyrinth buried beneath the city, and you can always find something hidden at the foot of the city as you wander around.

You never know what might be waiting for you around the next corner.

Roy walked to the end of his pipe, which was supposed to be the cesspool behind the corner. But when he turned from here, his steps suddenly stopped.

He couldn't see much of the cesspool, because the view was completely blocked by the mirror.

That's right, it's the mirror. It's like entering the mirror house in an amusement park, surrounded by all kinds of haha mirrors, you can see that your body is reflected in all the mirrors around you, and there are images of fat and thin.

It doesn't take any keen senses or insight to see that something is wrong.

Roy walked cautiously and slowly, tentatively into a maze of mirrors. The mirrors of himself in all directions around him moved with his every footstep, making them look extremely strange.

"Hahaha!"

Suddenly, a shrill laugh rang out, as if it was surrounded from all sides. It was the speakers, and the room was supposed to be filled with speakers all around, and the sound coming from each speaker surrounded Roy. The image in each mirror abruptly disappears, and a simple playing card takes its place. These mirrors vary depending on how well each mirror refracts light, but each one bears the motif of the king, which is almost taboo for every Gotham.

Clown.

From all directions, there was endless laughter, followed by the shrill shouting, "Hey! Winged Knight! Did you miss me? Don't tell me I don't want to, because I'm ~ I want to kill you all! ”

Roy stopped moving, didn't answer, and began to take a closer look at everything around him.

"I know, I know, it's just weird." The clown's voice continued, "You must be wondering - why isn't this guy hanging yet?" The last time he confirmed, he seemed to have less than one night left to live, right? Haha, that's a sad story! But guess what? It's so boring in hell! You know, people never laugh! How terrible! So I thought, haha, sure enough, I'm better suited to a place with laughter, don't you say? ”

"So you're working with Clay Face again?" Roy suddenly said, "Why? What's the fun of that? ”

"Oh, no, no, no, we're not working together." The Joker continued, "We're not that close yet. But I gave him a little hint and advice, and maybe a little idea for him, come on, that shouldn't be a complicity, right? You don't blame me, do you? ”

So the clayface man did all this by the clown. So why did the Joker instigate Mudface to capture Bruce? At worst, has the Joker solved the problem of Batman's identity?

"You know what?" The clown was still babbling, "During the time I was resting and adjusting, I didn't stop observing and thinking. I found something interesting, I know it's weird, but the old bat looks like he trusts you! And it's not quite the same as his trust in those chirping birds, you can see that, right? The old bat thought that if one day he was half-paralyzed, or worse, he wanted someone to put on that big-eared coat and go on with his scary work of going out in the middle of the night. ”

His mouth kept talking, and Roy had already moved again. He was contemplating, exploring the exit of this mirror labyrinth.

"You know what? Actually, I've been quite worried. "Look, our old bats are getting older and getting more and more wounded. If this continues, it will not be surprising that it will hang up one day. But think about how boring I must have been if he hung up! I mean, can you imagine a world without Batman? It's hell! Oh wait, let me fix it, maybe hell where no one laughs is even more terrifying, haha"

"So I'm glad he has a backup idea." "If one day he's gone, I'd be grateful if you could put on the Dark Knight's cloak and continue playing cat and mouse with me!" But before that."

With that, Roy has found the exit and walked out of the labyrinth.

However, at this moment, the mirror beside him shattered suddenly without warning, and with a "bang", a heavy hammer shattered the mirror and threw it out, rushing out like a pendulum, and bombarding his side from the side. Roy was startled, and raised his hand to block it in a dull manner, only slightly unloading a little force, and the whole person was inevitably blown away, crashing through several mirrors in a row and falling straight into a huge metal pool.

He immediately raised his hand to shoot the zipline, but a huge metal lid snapped shut before the hook hit the top edge, blocking his zipline.

An unknown green liquid with a strange smell poured wildly into the container from the open pipes around it, and the liquid level rose at an alarming rate.

"Hahaha! I don't know if you've heard of it, but what you're experiencing right now is Mr. J's Exclusive Rapid Development Course! The clown yelled, "Trust me, take a good bath and you'll be just like me!" (To be continued.) )
