Chapter 80: The Joker's Choice (Asking for Votes and Chasing Reading)
Harvey, who had already anticipated this, intended to continue.
Because if you give up at this time, it means that all your previous efforts will be in vain.
Listening to the lover who was eagerly calling his name on the phone next to him, the Knight of Light closed his eyes and his heart was crossed, and he shouted to cheer him up.
"Ha ——!"
Then, take a deep breath and close your mouth tightly.
This is to prevent the acid from entering the body and causing more serious damage to the internal organs.
Soon, most of Harvey's body quickly sank into the pool, and when half of his face was corroded by acid, he grabbed the key with his already stiff and rickety hands.
The goal was achieved, and his whole person bounced out like a spring in an instant.
After rolling a few laps, he lay on the floor and let out a whimpering in pain.
At this time, one of his arms seemed to be shorter than the original, bent and curled in front of his chest, and the dark red flesh was exposed, like a skinless chicken claw.
The twisted and deformed hand clenched into a fist, and inside was the hard-won key.
Half of the beautiful blonde hair was corroded, and the ensuing burn made half of the head charred black.
The eyeball, which finally survived, hung in the middle of the empty eye socket.
The flesh on the cheek vanished, leaving only a few thick tendons attached to the jaw so that it would not separate from the skull.
The roots and gums of the teeth were so clearly exposed, like a demon with baring teeth.
On the left side of the body, from the forehead to the hideous wound on the waist, the skin has long been corroded, and in some places even white bones are exposed.
The acid remaining on it is still reacting with fine yellowish bubbles.
Harvey's nerves trembled from the heart-rending pain, and beads of sweat ran down his forehead, exacerbating the pain when it touched the wound.
But even so, he gritted his teeth, trying not to let himself cry out, and frequently let out a kind of helpless sorrow.
Because, on the other end of the phone, his lover is still calling his name.
But this call didn't last long, and it was forcibly hung up, and Harvey's heart panicked instantly, and he immediately used his intact arm to support himself to get up from the ground.
Then he staggered to the podium.
The last time he stepped onto the podium, he was a rising star in Gotham.
Leave aside some chaotic thoughts.
Harvey pressed his entire body weight on the countertop to prevent him from falling due to exhaustion, and then forcefully broke open the inactive and unusually stiff fingers.
He took out the key, which had been somewhat damaged by the acid, and inserted it into the keyhole with Rachel's name written on it.
"I'm sorry, Bruce."
It's not that Harvey doesn't want to save Batman, but he really doesn't have the strength.
In the next second, he was so injured that he fainted and fell directly to the side of the podium.
The unconscious Knight of Light didn't know that his choice didn't save his lover, and certainly it wasn't that Lu Wu lied or played in it.
Rather, someone made the choice before him.
.......
In the third room, the clown, who had not yet recovered from his injuries, looked curiously at a large metal ball.
Now the reactor is half-open, and there are circles of light strips around it.
On the surface of the rivet-covered ball, there was a palm-sized display that slowly flashed red.
Underneath the display, there's something like a keyboard that lets you enter numbers and letters.
Bruce Wayne's fingerprints have been entered, and he only needs to enter the password again, and this nuclear weapon that Lu Wu has modified will 'bong' and bring true peace to Gotham.
Among them, the transformation is very simple, you only need to find a nuclear scientist who is greedy for life and afraid of death.
And scientists are not a scarce thing in Gotham or the DC universe.
It's Bruce's fingerprints that are hard.
Last time, Lu Wu and Batman had a fight, and I wanted to learn a few tricks while getting my fingerprints by the way.
As a result, I didn't expect Batman to wear gloves when he went out.
Lu Wu, who failed, was not discouraged and quickly thought of another way.
As a disguise, Bruce often appears in front of the public in the form of a playboy, and many models and celebrities have been his guests.
It just so happened that Lu Wu also knew a celebrity, and the two had a close relationship.
Through her introduction, not to mention fingerprints, Lu Wu got Batman's DNA.
Therefore, the reactor is now a nuclear bomb that can be detonated at any time.
And the clown was also keenly aware of this, and his intuition told him that the iron lump in front of him was very dangerous.
It seems that as soon as you enter some kind of password, what looks like a giant grenade will activate.
And on the wall behind him, there happens to be a complex password written on it.
Dragging his impaired legs, the clown turned around and limped to the wall, licked his lips, and said with interest:
"Puzzle games, I like them!"
For the clown, Lu Wu didn't feel that he needed to do too much guidance, so he didn't prepare those messy things.
A string of numbers, a bomb, is enough.
Because, he always brings unexpected surprises to others.
For example, now, anyone with a normal IQ will understand that the password needed to turn on the reactor is on the wall.
But the clown did the opposite.
After pressing a few numbers on the keyboard, I left the reactor behind and went to study something else.
First, he stood by the wall and buckled up the wall.
It wasn't until the freshly painted wall was carved out of a coin-sized pit that he left in a huff.
Then, standing in front of the painted code, he commented on how ugly the words were.
The angry Lu Wu almost rushed in to fight him, but was fortunately stopped by Roman in the end.
After a long time of mouthing, the clown finally returns to the reactor.
Honestly follow the password on the wall and start entering number by number.
Just as he was entering the last number, he suddenly stopped.
"It's not interesting, it's not fun."
Then grinning, just lay down on the cold floor, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
It was a full ten minutes before he opened his eyes, stretched, and slowly got up from the ground.
Yawning as he walked to the edge of the room, the closed gate.
The gate in his room is different from the other rooms, it is a password door, and the conditions for opening it are the same as that of the reactor, just enter the password on the wall.
Through the monitor, Lu Wu, who was observing everything, was not surprised by the Joker's choice.
Whether to open the reactor where the problem can be seen at a glance, or to open the door that doesn't know where it leads, is the choice he leaves to the Joker.
Perhaps he didn't intend to die so inexplicably, and the clown chose the path that was obviously safer.
But either way, it will be a huge surprise for him.
Entering the already ripe passwords in turn, the heavy gate slowly rises, and a brand new room appears in front of the clown's eyes.
As Bruce watched in another room, he smiled cruelly as he watched with horror.
Facing the woman who kept struggling on the hospital bed, he whispered:
"Hello, little beauty."
