Chapter 304: Joker's Calculation!
Barb? Gordon, James? Gordon's daughter, now a junior at New York University, is in her teens. Like his father, he has a strong sense of justice and wants to change the gloomy status quo of New York.
If it weren't for that, Barbara wouldn't have become the same being as Nightwing in later stories, as Batman's right-hand hand to cut off the evils that had grown. However, what Barbara never expected was that she was targeted by the Joker before she could become Batgirl, which cast a shadow over her otherwise bright path.
After the Joker enters New York University, he goes to the floor where the archives are kept. As a plumber maintenance worker, he can enter and exit almost any floor, and as long as the other party does not find out his identity, he is basically unimpeded.
After arriving at the archives, the clown pried open the data room where the student files were kept, turned on the computer and skillfully retrieved the students' materials, and finally locked Barbara's location after a few minutes.
'Room 38, School Building 3? With a slightly hideous smile on his face, the clown turned off his computer and left the archives, his footsteps making an eerie noise in the empty hallway towards the third school building.
Barbara, with her blonde hair and iconic western blue eyes, was sitting bored in the back row of the classroom listening to a visiting professor, and these examples of paper did not interest her at all. Instead, she's intrigued by the super-criminal named 'Joker' who has recently emerged.
Like her father's character, Barbara prides herself on justice and aspires to be a partner in it, and she knows Batman and his purpose, which makes her irrepressibly adore Batman. In her opinion, any villain who dares to do evil will not escape Batman's punishment in the end.
However, just as Barbara is in the middle of an infinite reverie about the Joker's 'caught', she is awakened by the sound of approaching footsteps.
"Excuse me. Is there anyone here, please? A deep voice sounded, and Barbara's eyes saw a man dressed in a somewhat tight manner, revealing only a pair of eyes.
Barbara couldn't help but be suspicious of the sudden arrival, but shook her head out of politeness, "There's no one here." ”
"Oh, that's great, you know, I love listening to Professor Kalia's teaching on sanctions, and he always finds the crux of those cases. Although there are a lot of people who like to call him an afterthought. The man said with a familiar expression, not taking into account the fact that he and Barbara were just strangers.
Originally, Barbara didn't want to deal with him. But when she heard this, she couldn't help but smile. She had also heard the title 'Hindsight', which was given to the professor who was now lecturing.
"I have to say that you are very funny, but now that we are listening to the other party's lecture, it is better not to speak ill of him."
The man shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, and then put down his back and remained silent, looking intently at the podium.
Seeing that the other party was so knowledgeable, Barbara's doubts in her heart were slightly reduced, and her original reverie heart returned to calm. He looked intently at the podium.
Just when the two were at peace with each other, the man suddenly spoke, catching Barbara a little off guard, "Your name should be Barbara?" Gordon: Right? Many of my friends know about you. ”
Barbara was stunned. He frowned, "Do those friends of yours know me?" ”
"Of course, you are a top student in the law department, and you have great reasoning skills. Many of us know you. ”
Hearing the man's words, Barbara's inner doubts completely subsided, and she automatically regarded the other party as the boys who usually came to talk to her. Because of such a thing. She's been bumped into many times.
"A high-achieving student doesn't dare to be, at best he is just a detective fan who likes reasoning." Barbara had a distant smile on her face.
At this time, the man's face covered by the collar showed an unpredictable smile, and then a low and hoarse laugh sounded, and the piercing voice made Barbara frown, "Miss Barbara, do you think that if Deputy Director Gordon knew that something happened to his such a good daughter, would he go crazy?" ”
Barbara's face changed when she heard this, and when she was about to get up, she was pressed by the other party on the shoulder, making her unable to move at all. At this time, I only heard the other party lower his voice and said, "You'd better not move, otherwise, I can't help but kill you now." You know, your use value is huge. If I die like this, I'll be very distressed. ”
Hearing the other party's playful words, Barbara forcibly suppressed the fear in her heart and asked in a calm voice as much as possible, "Who are you?" What is the purpose? I don't believe your purpose is just to get revenge on my father. ”
When the man heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his exposed eyes, and he immediately played with the taste: "How else to say that Miss Barbara is smart!" You've guessed it right, I'm not aiming for your father, but someone who is very 'close' to your father. ”
"'Intimate' people?" Barbara frowned and pondered, and after a moment her face changed greatly, "Sure enough, it's a bat......"
"Shut up! Don't mention that damn name, I'll blow your head out if you dare to say it. The man whispered annoyance, and then said with a little nervousness: "It's so quiet, waiting for him to find out, waiting for him to find the door himself." But before that, I need to give them some stimulation, otherwise they won't 'cooperate' with me. ”
With that, he put the gun in his hand to Barbara's waist and motioned for the other party to get up and leave with him.
Barbara's life was out of her hands, and the fear in her heart drove her out of the classroom with the man.
Just as the man was about to leave NYU with Barbara, Rocky arrived, undressed from his battle suit, and walked into the university to search for suspicious figures. He has now basically determined that the clown is here, which is also the clown's usual method, and he will do everything to torture the target, and he is more willing to create indelible mental wounds than the pain of the other party's body. So, he must have held James hostage? Gordon's daughter.
Knowing the other party's purpose and what the other party was going to do, Rocky naturally blocked the door of the only entrance and exit of the main academy. He stood in an inconspicuous place, his eyes scanning the crowd coming in and out.
Half an hour after Rocky arrives at the school, he finally sees a pair of suspected 'lovers' who can be targeted.
A man with a lot of face covered, half-wrapped around a woman with a blank look, if you don't look closely, you will think that this is just a couple who have quarreled. But the more suspicious people are, the more concerned Rocky is now, and they are naturally included in the ranks of the top suspects, and they are followed by them.
Unbeknownst to the man, Rocky was secretly following them, and he took Barbara into the car he had prepared, tied Barbara's hands with steel ropes, and took out a headband-like prop from his bag and stuck it in Barbara's mouth, and the front of the prop had something like an injection needle.
"This is a prop that can be injected through your body vibration sensor, as long as you move your mouth, or move your hand, then this needle ......" the man said, pulling down his collar, revealing a hideous face with a terrifying scar on the corner of his mouth, "It will be injected into your mouth, and then you will laugh until you die......"
Barbara shuddered, and sat upright, motionless.
Seeing her like this, the clown nodded with satisfaction and drove the car away from New York University.
Rocky watched the other party leave, thought about it, and decided to follow the other party's trail on foot. There are a lot of traffic lights and sidewalks in the downtown area of New York, and if the distance is tortuous, the speed of the other party will not be too fast. So, he observes the trajectory of the vehicle to confirm the other party's driving route.
While Rocky was tracking the Joker, Wayne found Gordon and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after confirming that the other party was okay.
"You're weird today, is it because something happened to Harvey?" Gordon frowned and looked at Wayne with a look of anger and helplessness.
"I can now be sure that the other party's target is me, and he will attack the people around me in order to hit me. The reason why Harvey had an accident......" Wayne said, the anger on his face almost uncontrollable, "is because of me. ”
Hearing this, Gordon's brows furrowed even deeper, "So, you came to me just to confirm if the clown did anything to attack me?" ”
"But obviously, he doesn't seem to have any intention of attacking you for the time being......" Wayne said, his face suddenly changed, "It's possible that he has already done it, not by directly harming you......"
When Gordon heard this, he looked at Wayne's expression at the moment, and couldn't help but change his face greatly, "You mean ......?"
"Call and ask NYU, your daughter is still there, hurry!!" Wayne said eagerly, and hurried towards the outside of Gordon's office.
Gordon wasn't stupid, and he knew that the Joker might have gone after his daughter, so he dialed New York University after hearing Wayne's eager shouts. However, when he saw Wayne's departure, he couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?" ”
"I need to go to NYU to confirm the whereabouts of that guy, and there's a good chance I'm going to find some clues somewhere......" Wayne left the office without looking back, just as the phone from NYU was connected.
"Hey, I would like to ask if my daughter is in school now? She didn't have a cell phone with her, you can use the radio...... What the!? …… She's not there? …… I know ......"
Gordon hung up the phone in a dejected fit and collapsed in his office chair, "That madman ......" (to be continued.) )
