CHAPTER XXV
"Depp, wake up!"
Depp opened his eyes and found himself lying in Bruce's arms, and the other party was concerned about trying to wake him up.
"How long have I been unconscious, Batman." Depp shook his head and staggered to his feet.
Bruce heard this and said, "About half an hour, you didn't call me that just now!" β
"Don't care about the details, where did he go?"
Depp looked around, he was convinced that Joseph would never die in the chemical pool, but he didn't find the other party's figure until he saw the footprints of flesh and chemical agents mixed with the chemical agent next to him.
"Don't care about these details?" Bruce was a little angry, pointed to the red hoods who were tied together, and said, "Now, they all know who I am!" β
Depp picked up a dagger from the ground and said, "It's very simple, just kill them." β
Anyway, Depp doesn't care about the lives of these bastards.
Bruce stopped Depp and said, "Are you kidding? You think I'm going to let you kill someone in front of my eyes? β
"So, what do you want? You can only blame you for being naΓ―ve, thinking that you can hide from everyone with this dress. Depp dropped the dagger and walked out of the warehouse: "Besides, why does Bruce have to be Batman?" Isn't it the same if you change your green clothes tomorrow and change your name to Green Onion? β
Bruce wants to speak and stops, Depp can always scare him out of nothing.
"My car is still outside, I remember you had my phone." Depp said as he went out: "It's important to ask Afu to check the address of the employees of this chemical plant, Joseph Cole, and send it to my phone." β
Bruce was visibly speechless.
I'm Batman! Why was he dictated by an antique shop owner, and he had to obediently listen to his command.
"Ah Fu, help me check the information of Joseph Cole, an employee of the ACE chemical plant, and send it to the communicator in a moment." Bruce sent an order to Ah Fu: "By the way, help me design a green suit, be more handsome, I may change my name to Green Onion Man tomorrow!" β
Ah Fu, who received the message, automatically ignored the second instruction and replied a minute later: "Joseph Cole, 29 years old, ACE chemical plant engineer, lives at 736 Warren Street, Nai Ho Island, his wife is Jenny Cole, unemployed, confirmed her pregnancy five months ago......"
Bruce relayed the message to Depp and looked at the red hoods on the side.
He eventually kept his oath and didn't kill them, just left them in front of the Gotham Police Station.
"I hope your body is not so weak that you will die in the rain overnight." Bruce dropped the words, and with a wave of his cloak disappeared around the corner.
On the other side, Depp, who received the news, immediately drove to Joseph's home.
But unfortunately, he pounced this time.
The door was not closed, so the two guys in the room who had been killed by Joseph were still lying quietly on the ground, and streams of blood were still gushing outward.
Depp frowned and exited the room, his eyes turning slightly white, and then a breeze blew away the footprints on the ground.
Feeling that he couldn't find Joseph, he chose to drive home.
Back at his antique shop, Depp found that it was a little different from when he left.
There was something more on the table at the front desk...
Fifty thousand dollars, a metal tube, a blue pill and a letter.
Depp picked up the letter, which was neatly written, left by Joseph.
The first half of the letter describes his recent encounters, while the second half reads:
"Dear Mr. Depp, Jenny and the children have left me, I know it's my fault, I should have taken them out of the city early."
"Also, I feel like something has changed in me, and I can't help but want to laugh."
From this point on, the handwriting of the letter became more and more sloppy, as if the writer was becoming mad as the letter was written.
"Mr. Depp, I put 50,000 yuan and the pawn agreement on the table, and I will take the ring and put it in Jenny's tomb."
"By the way, the metal tube on the table is a gas I made myself, he can't help but make people laugh, if you inhale too much it will cause death, the blue pill is the antidote, I think... Maybe it can help you deal with some bad people. β
"I feel like something inside me is gushing out, and there's nothing I can do to stop it... I think it's time for me to go, or I'm going to hurt you... I'm sorry... I really don't want that... I... I..."
The letter came to an abrupt end here, and the end paragraph was scribbled like graffiti, and Depp struggled to read it.
Putting down the letter, Depp picked up the metal tube on the side and looked at it.
The thin metal tube is sealed quite tightly, and if you want to use it, you only need to press the bulge at the end.
"Is this the legendary laughing gas? Probably the original version. β
Putting the laughing gas in the safe, Depp found that the ring inside was indeed gone.
The phone rings, and Depp receives a message from James Gordon:
"I think your amulet might not only not bring good luck, but it will also make people even more unlucky!"
The following is a picture with a group of red hoods tied to the door of the police station, but they all showed a bright smile like a chrysanthemum!
"I don't think it's a problem with the amulet, James."
It is clear that these guys died of laughing gas, and Joseph's revenge begins, and Depp only feels that these guys are innocent of death.
And, because the red hood who knew Batman's identity was all dead, he didn't need to become another hero.
Depp took a shower and went back to bed, thinking about tonight and before, and always felt something unusual.
It stands to reason that he shouldn't have failed to discover Joseph's true identity for so long, after all, the clues are just in front of him.
And when I was at the chemical plant, why did that damn red hood hit Bruce's hook gun...
He felt as if there was a pair of invisible hands manipulating everyone's predetermined fate, and no matter how hard he tried as an outsider, he couldn't change the fate of these people.
For example, Bruce must become Batman instead of Green Onion, for example, Joseph must become a Joker, such as the three scars on Falcone's face that can never be erased.
However, both DC and Marvel have many ways to resurrect people, and he feels that there is a chance to make up for all this in the future.
Depp fell into a deep sleep, there were many people who were the same as the Red Hood death that night, but without exception, they deserved it.
Early the next morning, Bruce drove his Mercedes Benz to the Depp antique store.
Depp, who was about to go for a run, said, "Good morning, Bruce. β
"Good morning, Depp, I think we need to talk."
"What are you talking about?" Depp asked.
"The Red Hood is all dead, and it's a very weird death." Bruce said.
Depp said nonchalantly: "It's none of my business, and they are innocent of death, and you don't have to become a green onion man." β
"Who is Joseph Cole? The red hood? β
"You'll find out later."
Bruce said with a complicated expression, "Also, you made that man stop in the air last night..."
Depp interrupted: "That's magic, it should be normal for an antique shop owner to know some magic." β
"Is this normal?" Bruce felt that he couldn't keep up with Depp's brain circuits.
"Alright, Bruce, you don't have a talent for magic, you can't learn it, I should go for a run. And you, now you should drive your sports car to the sister. β
Three months later, Depp took out a pink envelope with a floral scent from the mailbox and opened the envelope, revealing an invitation in the same pink color.
"Dear Mr. Leonardo Depp, I cordially invite you to the banquet I have tomorrow night."
It was 'Ms. Selena Kyle'.
Gotham is a well-known rich woman, beautiful and philanthropic.
