Chapter 1658: No Time to Die (21)
Spider-Man follows Batman to a special room, this room is very full of light, even a little too strong, and has formed signs of light pollution, because there are at least hundreds of large and small screens in the whole room.
The largest of the main screens was captured in the same place where the robbery had taken place during the day, and Spider-Man let out an exclamation as soon as he walked in, and then rubbed his eyes vigorously, as if he was a little uncomfortable with the light.
"God, how many cameras did you put in Gotham?" Spider-Man was still a little uncomfortable with the word Gotham, and almost bit his tongue when he pronounced it, but his attention was quickly drawn to the image on the surveillance screen.
"As you can see, this is a dark city with a very high crime rate."
"Extremely high? How tall? ”
"The Gotham Police Department has reported 6,113 crimes this year, half of which are serious crimes."
“…… Isn't that similar to New York? ”
Batman turned his head to look at Spider-Man, who sighed and said, "I also heard from Uncle Ben this morning that there are about 5,739 reported crimes in New York this year, an increase of about 40% over last year. ”
Batman turned back and was about to continue talking, when Spider-Man continued: "But this is just an ordinary crime case, not counting cases of alien invasion, biological mutation, modified people going crazy, mutants losing control, etc., if you count them, there may be seven or eight thousand." ”
"And this year New York has been destroyed more times than usual, the alien invasion and the arrival of Thanos alone have destroyed New York four or five times, and if you look at the damage rate, at least more than 90% of the New Yorkers have been affected."
Batman's eyes narrowed slightly, he looked at Spider-Man and said, "So who's in charge of policing in New York City?" I mean who's one of the superheroes, 'Mr. Stark' in your mouth? ”
"Responsible? If you want to be responsible, it should be the S.H.I.E.L.D. in charge, which is an officially established supernatural monitoring organization, and it is they who organized the Avengers, and in these huge disasters, it is basically the Avengers who save New York. ”
"Well, it's been a long time since I've been a good neighbor to help." Spider-Man sighed and said, "Every day is either fighting aliens, or fighting evil gods, either stopping this destruction of the world or stopping that destruction of the world." ”
Batman silently turned his head back again, and said, "Then you should be better suited to Met." ”
"Crimes in Gotham are mainly vicious robbery, kidnapping, and bombings, and most of the criminals who commit these serious crimes are super criminals with super high intelligences, they are cunning, cruel, and evil, and never underestimate their talent as a criminal."
"Indeed." Spider-Man nodded in agreement and said, "That Black Mask kidnapped such a young child that day, it's just too evil, you have to deal with them every day, it should be quite hard, right?" ”
Batman's hand pressed on the control table paused again, he shook his head lightly and said, "Black Mask is far from being cunning and evil, these two words are always more appropriate for ......"
"Drip-drip-drip-"
A shrill alarm sounded, and Batman quickly turned his head and squinted at the flashing warning lights outside the door.
As if sensing something, Spider-Man turned his head to look at the largest screen, and Batman then looked up to see the pattern of bat lights flashing in the pitch-black sky of Gotham on the main screen.
"God, this car is the coolest I've ever seen...... Uh, uh, is it a sports car? Or a branch of the tank ?! Spider-Man, sitting on the Batmobile, shouted.
"It's the Batmobile." Batman replied.
"Zila-"
With a sharp sound of brakes, Batman made a smooth drift and turned into the back of the alley where the theater was located, and then reversed into the garage with speed and precision, and after parking the Batmobile, Batman rushed out of the car, followed by Spider-Man, and the two rushed into the back door of the theater together.
"Gordon said on the phone that the clown had kidnapped a couple and their child here, and if I didn't go over, he forced the little boy to press the button to kill his own parents."
"That's weird, isn't it?!" Spider-Man, dressed in his new uniform, raised his voice and said, "How can a kidnapper ask to see the police?" Wouldn't he be able to see you if he turned himself in and went to prison? ”
"First of all, I'm not a cop, I'm Batman, and secondly, he's not a kidnapper, he's a Joker."
Batman turned his head to look at Spider-Man, and then said, "You have to learn the rules of this game first, don't act rashly." ”
"Okay, don't worry!"
"Bang!"
Spider-Man kicked the railing on the second floor of the theater, a piece of spider silk stuck to the ceiling, swooped onto the stage, stood in front of the Joker, and pointed his finger at him, "Damn kidnapper!" Let go of that boy, or I'll want you to look good!! ”
It was only then that Batman rushed to the front of the second floor, and was fortunate enough to see a slightly dazed expression on the face of his archenemy, the Joker, who always had an evil grin.
Suddenly, the Joker wrinkled his nose vigorously, smiled wickedly at Spider-Man and said, "I smell it!" I smell that stench from bird feathers! ”
"Batman adopted another poor homeless bird, ha, he adopted you, dressed you up, and made you that serious stinky face too!"
"Your name is Joker, right? Listen, Mr. Clown, who came out of an unknown circus, first of all, put that broken gun in your hand down and don't point it at anyone, it's very dangerous. ”
"Secondly, let the boy throw away the button in his hand, a child can't do such a dangerous thing, and finally, your hairstyle is pretty cool, in which hair salon did you cut it, and what color color paste did you use?"
"Ah......h You know it's not going to work, do you? Because this poor boy is about to suffer what you and Batman have suffered, he will lose his parents forever. ”
"Where did you hide his parents?" Spider-Man asked, glaring.
"Of course it's in a big bomb, hahahaha!!haha The clown let out a barrage of crazy grins.
"I'm going to have him press that button in front of Batman and blow his parents to shreds, and then what is Batman going to do to bring this poor boy home?"
But he couldn't save the poor child's parents, what would the child think of him? Was his salvation mercy or reparation? Does he really feel like he can replace his parents? ”
Spider-Man focused his attention on the kidnapped boy, a cute white boy in overalls, wearing a beret, with tears on his face and a huge button in his hand, who was tied to a chair with only his fingers and a terror glint in his eyes.
Out of sympathy, Spider-Man instinctively took a step forward, but the next second, he froze in place.
Then, he jumped on the spot, jumped backwards for two or three meters, and then quickly stretched out an arm, and a spider silk stuck to the ceiling again, swinging to the second floor in an extremely agile manner, stopping Batman who was about to jump down.
"Don't go over." Spider-Man looks back at the scene on stage and says, "That kid is with him!" ”
The Joker and Batman were stunned together.
"My spider sense just told me that there is a great danger in this child." Spider-Man lowered his voice and said to Batman, "This could be a scene they directed together, and if you really save him and bring him home, it's the equivalent of bringing the bomb back." ”
Batman's eyes narrowed, his attention had been drawn to the Joker, and when he set his eyes on the little boy, he almost immediately noticed that something was wrong.
The rope was tightly tied, and the skin on the boy's wrist looked very tender, but when the rope rubbed against a red mark, the wound disappeared almost immediately.
"Mudface!" Batman angrily called out his name.
But before his words landed, he only heard a "bang", a huge flower pot crossed a beautiful parabola, and smashed straight into the center of the stage, and the moment the dirt and dust flew up, a black shadow swept over almost at the same time as the vase, and fell silently on the stage.
"Bang!"
Spider-Man landed an uppercut on the Joker's chin, followed by another backfall that held his upper body and slammed him to the floor of the stage.
The poor little boy who was originally sitting on the chair finally reveals his true identity, just as Batman expected, he is one of Gotham's supercriminals, with a clay face with the ability to imitate the image of others.
Spider-Man knocked the Joker unconscious, turned around and kicked Mudface's back, but Mudface was really like a lump of mud, although the muddy water was splashed, but it was firmly fixed to the ground, and it was not knocked out or fell.
Seeing that his conspiracy was revealed, Clay Face didn't stay long, decisively sold his teammates, and fled along the ceiling like a ball of gel, Spider-Man's two sticky bombs missed, and Clay Face jumped out of the window and disappeared into the rainy night of Gotham.
Spider-Man looked back at the Joker, but Batman had already appeared in front of the Joker, and he picked up the Joker who had fainted on the ground with his hand, and said to Spider-Man, "You look around here to see if they really planted the bomb, and I'll go and give him to Gordon and put him in an insane asylum." ”
Spider-Man nodded, turned and went to work.
Batman looked at his back, and he thought, this boy named Spider-Man is like the perfect assistant to fall from the sky.
Kind, powerful, clever and powerful, and more importantly, has the ability to warn, will not easily fall into the trap of criminals, and at the same time has no disagreement with Batman in terms of dealing with criminals, just like a natural Robin.
Batman thought as he took the Joker into the police car, and he was too immersed in thinking to notice that the Joker, who was lying on the ground and should have fainted, had a particularly cruel smile on his pale face.
Arriving at Arkham Asylum, Batman left the Joker on the floor of the Special Care Unit, and just as he was about to turn away, a faint laugh came from behind him.
"Hahaha...... Batman, Batman! As I said a long time ago, the Bat family and your birds are nothing more than a drag on you, and soon you will understand how free you will be without them, and you will be ...... How great!! ”
Batman's footsteps paused, he turned his head and stared at the Joker with a deep gaze and said, "Joker, what conspiracy are you planning?" ”
"Planning? No, no, no, everything is happening naturally, starting with the new bird you brought back, who will fall into the trap of not being able to break free, and embrace the endless darkness of human nature one step ahead of you. ”
Batman walked back quickly, broke the Joker's shoulder blade with an elbow, grabbed him by the neck, and began rummaging through his body, the Joker struggled desperately, and just between the two of them struggled, a needle fell out of the Joker's clothes.
"What is this?" Batman asked.
The Joker rolled on the ground giggling, laughing as if he was about to die, and in the midst of that shrill laughter, occasionally spat out a few incoherent words, and Batman only heard the Joker say, "That's you!" It's you! Batman! It's the darkness of Gotham City! It's the darkness that never lingers! ”
"Batman, Batman!" The Joker began to gasp for breath, as if laughing and crying, and he shouted Batman's name, and then said, "The birds in your wings can enjoy the light that no one else can enjoy, and this is not at all in line with the justice you seek, and in that case, I will let them - share the darkness!" ”
"What did you inject him?" Batman stomped on the Joker's leg bone, and the Joker let out a high-pitched scream, followed by a continuous whea.
"Concentrated Gotham rain...... The source of true pure darkness, Batman, your child is about to become your enemy, hahahahahahahahahaha ”
Hahahahahaha
