Chapter 18: Death, Captivity, and the Beginning of Chaos
"Director Gordon, it's been a long time, do you still need to hide so much in the face of old friends? Come out. ”
The clown's playful voice came from overhead, and the four people below suddenly shuddered.
After all, it was too late......
Johnny's distorted face became hideous, his nosebleed was still flowing intermittently, and now he felt that his vision was a little blurry, but it didn't hinder his hearing, Lord Clown had arrived, and Johnny swore that he would torture the police officer who beat him to the point that he couldn't die!
Director Gordon's face turned pale, he took a few steps back, and nervously waved his hand at John and the others, "Go back, go back to the research room!" "Although the clown can catch up, without the train, it will take them at least more than an hour to reach the underground passage on their legs, and as long as they have time, they can always figure out a way.
But obviously the clown didn't want to make more trouble for himself, so he saw a purple figure jump directly from the mouth of the ladder, and after landing on the ground, the clown pulled up the hair covering his eyes, and a pale face appeared in front of Director Gordon and the others with a smile.
"Joker!" Director Gordon subconsciously took a few steps back, this was the first time he had seen the clown in eight years, just like the dress he had dressed eight years ago, which made people feel terrifying and intimidating.
The most important thing is that Batman, the only Batman who can subdue the Joker, is no longer there......
"Oh, Director Gordon, it's been a long time, it's been eight years, and I really miss you so much." The clown sighed and walked in front of Director Gordon, and excitedly gave Director Gordon a big hug like an old friend who hadn't seen him for a long time, and the shocked Director Gordon didn't even make a gesture of resistance, and was directly hugged by the clown.
And by the time Director Gordon tried to resist, it was too late.
A fragrance lingered between Director Gordon's nose, and the nervous Director Gordon subconsciously took a breath, followed by a whirlwind sensation that hit his brain, and the next moment, Director Gordon fainted very simply.
'Bang! A gunshot rang out, and John, who was not far from the clown, shot the clown after getting rid of the initial fear, this kind of police air tip bullet is not very penetrating, so John is not worried that the bullet will hurt Director Gordon, who is being hugged by the clown. If the bullet was enough to kill the Joker, John even felt that it was worth it to injure Director Gordon for it.
'Poof' A slight muffled sound sounded from the clown, like a defeated voice, John's face suddenly sank, it was body armor.
'Shhh With a gasp, the clown's eyes widened, and although he was protected by body armor, the pain was inevitable.
At the moment when he realized that the clown was wearing body armor, John raised his arm slightly and aimed directly at the clown's head, and just as he was about to pull the trigger, a figure fiercely pounced from the side and threw John directly to the ground!
'Bang! The gunfire still rang out, but it was far from its original goal......
Hit another target......
"Alfred!" Fawkes shouted in panic, and saw that there was a hole in Alfred's chest and clothes standing not far to the left of the clown, and thick blood was slowly flowing out of this hole, gradually staining the whole garment.
Alfred opened his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound, he only felt that his eyes were dark, and his whole body fell to the ground with a pop.
'Bang! The third gunshot rang out, and Fawkes was about to help Alfred when he paused, and when he looked down, there was the same hole in his chest, and Fawkes couldn't help but smile bitterly, and fell to his knees weakly.
"Tsk, the old man should have a good rest, why bother running around?" The Joker casually threw the unconscious Director Gordon to the ground, with a pistol in his hand and smoke billowing from the muzzle, which had belonged to Director Gordon ten seconds ago.
"Thank you, my little friend, for saving me a bullet." The clown had adjusted the body armor he was wearing inside, the pain had not decreased much, and his back must have been bruised, but this did not prevent him from smiling and walking to the distracted John, George had just gotten up from him, and it was he who pounced on John, saving the Joker from a threat of death.
Although the Joker didn't take that threat seriously......
Less than two minutes after the Joker appeared in front of everyone, Director Gordon fell unconscious, Alfred and Fox were killed one after another, and the only remaining John completely lost the courage to do it again.
Kicking John's dropped pistol to the side, the clown patted George's arm as he stood up very kindly, "Good job George, go get Johnny over." ”
"Alright, alright, Lord Clown!" George was so excited to be praised by his esteemed idol, and he rushed to Johnny's side to subdue the weak Johnny, and at the same time whispered in Johnny's ear: "Lord Clown praised me, did you hear me?" ”
"Hmph, if I hadn't been injured, I could have done better." Johnny snorted weakly, he desperately hoped that he could have a little strength so that he would not be too ugly in front of the Joker, but unfortunately his body could not do it, so he could only walk in front of the Joker with George's support.
"What a poor boy, it seems that he can't stand such a big blow yet." The Joker tapped his toe on John's cheek as he fell to the ground, this once high-spirited police officer had become lost at the moment, he couldn't accept that he had killed Batman's only relative, Alfred, and he couldn't accept that they had lost, completely lost!
"Oh Johnny, poor boy, you look bad." The clown looked at Johnny who came to him, his face was covered with blood, his body was sour, his waist was slightly bowed, and he was afraid that he would not be able to stand up in a short time.
"No, Lord Clown, I ...... I'm just, I just need, a little ...... Just take a little rest. Johnny stood up in front of his idol, but his staccato words and weak voice were enough to show how bad he was at the moment.
"Yes, Johnny, I think so too, so hurry up and rest, you can't do things well without a good body, I still need you, now is not the time for you to fall." The clown monster smiled and helped Johnny wipe off the blood from his eyelids, and then said to George: "Carry Johnny up first, and then call the people outside to come in and move these four guys away, although two are dead, but it is still very useful." ”
"Raphael's game is so much fun, I can't wait to see Batman perform, hahahaha!"
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
In the middle of the sky, in this cold winter, there was a rare sunny day. The sun hung high in the sky, without the obstruction of dark clouds, and the sun was free to sprinkle all over the land, but it was a pity that in this warm day, Gotham City was still like a pool of stagnant water, without any life.
The cold wind blew, and two sneaky figures suddenly appeared at the end of the uninhabited street, and two white men turned out of the corner of the street, and after confirming that there was no one on the street, the two quickly ran across the street and hid in another alley.
"Jonny, are we really going to do this?" Two white men crouched in the alley, one of them looking a little younger and asked the other, "I think we're still too impulsive, I've heard that there are still some police officers working on it in Gotham City, so let's wait." ”
"Leon, you're so optimistic, have you forgotten how Carlo died? He was blown up by the clown, which proves even more that the clown is not lying, if we don't do it first, the prisoners will do it sooner or later, otherwise in a month it will be everyone who will die together, do you want to taste the taste of a nuclear explosion? "This George is the leader of the team who led a group of people to escape from Gotham City last night, and after the escape was hopeless, he thought of a new way.
That is, according to the Joker's request, kill all the prisoners.
"Leon, think about it, there are only more than a thousand prisoners, and how many citizens are there in Gotham City? Million! As long as we can kill one or two prisoners, then everyone will realize that it is just a very simple thing, we can kill all the prisoners in less than a month, and then we will all be safe. Think about your brother and your mother, do you want them to both die at the hands of prisoners or die in a nuclear explosion a month later? ”
