It's 3 a.m. and the Batman's city is lit up.

Chen Tao had just received a communication from the Riddler.

Our Mr. Nygma obediently shut himself back into the transparent cell, and by the way filled the hole he had dug with an iron spoon with wall plaster.

The Riddler is one of the smartest people in the world, and he can do anything. So it's reasonable to make up the walls, right?

Both clowns have been captured alive.

Now only nuclear bombs remain, probably.

Chen Tao thought silently.

He sits on the floor of Arkham Asylum recuperating, next to Bane, who has fallen to the ground, and the Joker, who uses Titan Venom and then beats him to the point of serious injury.

The two muscular men were stacked on top of each other, and the clown's body was leaking a little bit due to the lack of venom, and then he was pressed under Bane.

It didn't take much effort to defeat the Joker, and Bane seemed to be finished.

But Chen Tao is still seizing all the time to rest as much as possible.

Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne, having lost Bane's control, stood there stupidly, like a pair of parents waiting for their children to come home from kindergarten.

"80% of the missiles have been destroyed!"

Lucius' voice shouted in the communication: "84%! ”

He said very quickly, "86%, Batman, if the missiles are not all destroyed before they fly out of the atmosphere......"

“92%！”

He exclaimed, "Well done, Poison Ivy! ”

“98%！”

Chen Tao silently listened to his increasingly high-pitched voice, which rushed out of the headset, beating and shouting along with Lucius's heart.

And then, finally!

“100%！”

Chen Tao heard Lucius say excitedly: "We won!" ”

He sat in his seat as if he had collapsed, panting loudly.

"I can't believe we did it, we've been planning for so long," Lucius said, "so many pre-made missiles, even the most advanced anti-missile interception system to stop them all depends on luck......

He exclaimed in amazement, then praised Poison Ivy, and then he heard Batman say to him:

"Lucius, you've used up all your interceptor missiles, have you?"

Lucius froze.

"Yes," he said, "but we all intercepted the missiles, and the worst-case scenario you spoke of didn't happen." ”

Chen Tao sighed.

"In Gotham. If there is a worst-case scenario, then it is bound to happen. ”

Lucius heard him make up his mind first, and then continued, "Check the satellite footage, Lucius. ”

He heard the other person say, "Did you see the nuclear flash of the nuclear bomb exploding on it?" ”

Lucius's heart fluttered.

He threw himself on the satellite console and was stunned to see the emptiness on the satellite map.

He was so ecstatic just now that he ignored an obvious fact:

Even if the interceptor missile successfully intercepts a nuclear weapon, at such a close distance, they should be able to hear the sound.

And now it's silent, so that means......

"That nuclear bomb is not among the missiles we intercepted!"

Lucius groaned, "Oh my God! ”

"What's going on?"

"It means the worst happens." Chen Tao sighed heavily.

"The Joker was tricked, and someone used him to distract us and use him to force out our hole cards."

He said:

"And we can't ignore the possibility that nuclear warheads really could be in these missiles, so we must intercept them all with interceptor missiles that we have ready."

"And once we run out of interceptor missiles......"

"The person behind the scenes can calmly launch a real nuclear bomb!"

Lucius's voice trembled a little: "But this is unreasonable, who can do this, who can use the clown and play him in the palm of his hand?" ”

"Who could have devised such a meticulous plan? How could he be sure that everything would go according to his expectations? And how did he hide his existence in our—"

"It's obvious." Chen Tao replied to him: "A person who has been in front of us from the beginning. ”

Chen Tao stared at Bane, who was lying on the clown in front of him.

The other party seemed to be still immersed in the medicinal effects of laughing gas, and the smile was grinning from the corner of his mouth to the root of his ears, and he smiled humorously and kindly.

"A man who seems to have been knocked down by a clown."

He continued:

"In this world, the more complex the plan, the more profitable it is, but also the more likely it is to fail.

This is because there are so many variables in a complex plan, and the person planning the plan has too little control over the entire plan, so it often fails to succeed. ”

"But if you look at it from a different angle...... If someone can take full control of every corner of a complex plan, firmly grasp the most critical part of the whole plan, take full control of what a substitute for the dead does, and then stand up at the last minute to harvest everything-"

"Theoretically, then, a super-complex plan will be easier to achieve his goal than a simple and crude push."

Lucius said, "I think I understand what you mean......

Chen Tao turned Lucius's voice to speakerphone.

"But who is this man? This is the one who controls everything behind the scenes...... Who could it be? ”

"yes. I'm also curious. Chen Tao stared at Bane, who was lying on the ground: "Who could this person be?" ”

There was a dead silence.

The air was silent, breathing with Chen Tao. And then immediately after that, the world was stripped of that veil of bizarreness.

Whew-

"It's me."

A twisted smile on Bane's face vanished abruptly.

He got up from the ground with a blank face, his rough skin rubbing against the floor, making a low rustling sound.

"That's what you're really trying to do to weaken me, right?"

Chen Tao looked at him without surprise: "The poison that can destroy my body just now is just a disguise, right?" ”

"Of course, my bat."

Bane replied, "Always so sharp." ”

He said, "I've studied your nanobody, a body made of unknown high technology, which is clearly out of the realm of human beings. ”

"Unfortunately, I did hope to create such a cup of poison...... Make such a cup for you. ”

He emphasized on "you".

"Unfortunately, I don't really have much in microengineering."

He said sincerely: "If there is a next time, I will definitely learn it." ”

"But now."

Bane held back the excitement and excitement in his heart, his tone was calm and steady, and he tried his best to maintain no emotional fluctuations in his tone.

He didn't want to show the ugliness of the successful conspiracy in front of Batman at all, those murderous, high-pitched, high-pitched, and tactful whispers, he didn't want to show it in front of Batman at all.

"You're going to stop that real nuclear bomb. You alone, only you can do it. ”

Bane said, "You're going to have to go straight to the point." ”

"Ah, I know." Chen Tao replied to him in a low voice.

He muttered, "I knew it was going to turn out this way." There will always be a worst-case scenario. ”

"Always."

I really can't write, my brain is blank. Tomorrow is Saturday, plus more!
