Chapter 445: Screaming Poem (Part 1)

Batman didn't wait too long. He turned around and wanted to walk out of the monitoring room and stop the Joker's plot, but at this moment, the door of the monitoring room, which was originally open, suddenly closed.

Just like the doors of all the rooms underground, the door of the monitoring room is also full of metal and explosion-proof. Batman threw a few micro-bombs on it, but only left a little charred mark on the door, unable to cause more damage.

Batman was very sure that the door of the monitoring room was suddenly closed, which was by no means an accident, but he did not see any additional actions of the Joker on the screen, that is, the door might not be closed by him through remote control, and someone else closed the door.

Since the Joker on the screen has been talking, Batman can't be completely sure whether there are footsteps during this period. If this is true, it means that the Joker has accomplices.

Batman frowned and thought, he thought that they were chased by agents before and went around the manor for several circles. During this period, the Joker should have been sitting in the monitoring room and observing their situation in real time, because the information obtained by the agents was very timely, which can prove that the Joker was in the monitoring room during that time.

After the agents stopped chasing them, they made a plan for the entrance on the first floor. Then, Batman began to use the parts of the helicopter to make bombs. At the same time, the Joker found Lex and Clark and kidnapped them.

It seems that the timeline is right, but there is a very big loophole. That is, if the Joker kidnapped Lex and Clark during the time when Batman made the bomb, then when did his bombs come out?

Batman saw clearly that the previous bomb that made a noise and attracted the residents was not small. Although the structure was relatively simple, it took a certain amount of time to make it, not to mention the bomb tied to the beam.

These two are very obvious homemade bombs. There is no possibility that the finished products can be moved directly. Batman took a while to make the bomb that blew out the underground exit. He didn't believe that the Joker could make two bombs and subdue Lex and Clark in the same time as him.

Lex alone would be fine, Clark was not so easy to deal with, and if it was as he expected, Lex was not on the first floor, so no matter whether the Joker built the bomb first or captured the two people first, he had to travel between different floors, and he would definitely not be able to make it in time, including the time it took to travel back and forth.

The Joker had an accomplice? Who would he be? Why did he help the Joker?

Before Batman could figure out the answer to this question, he heard the Joker on the screen holding the button and saying:

"Before I start the introduction, I have to say to a certain audience member who is most willing to support me, you'd better stay there honestly and be a good audience member."

"If you want to rush onto the stage to interrupt the great performance, then the angry Joker will immediately press the button to give the performance the most humorous and grand ending!"

Batman's finger on the door paused for a moment, but he turned back and continued to keep his eyes on the screen. …

Because he saw that the kryptonite tied to Clark's chest seemed to be tied very tightly, but because the crystal itself was irregular, and the rope was only wrapped around a few sharp corners of the stone, it was obvious that because the center of gravity was not right, the rope around two of the sharp corners had begun to loosen.

Clark's chest kept rising and falling, and he was in extreme pain now, not only because of the kryptonite tied to his chest, but also because of the choice he made before.

At this time, the voice of the clown came from the ground, his tone was a little relaxed and happy, as if he was reciting an opening poem.

"First of all, I want to introduce you to this person - Clark Kent."

"As you can see, he is handsome, tall and handsome. I can also tell you that he is also very just and kind."

"Seeing the explosion in the reception room, he will come to rescue from afar. Hearing that his friends are in danger, he will lend a hand. At the same time, he is also a freshman at Metropolitan University. He has excellent grades, good performance, and a bright future..."

"Of course, I have to introduce his family background. He comes from a small town in Kansas. His family owns a farm. His parents love each other and live a happy life..."

The Joker kept spewing compliments. He praised Clark to the sky and repeatedly emphasized how excellent, kind and just he was.

But at this moment, Batman saw that a room in the picture suddenly turned into a blue, flashing small square. When the blue flashed, there was a line of white letters in the center of the blue square, which read "Do Not Disturb".

He knew that the person in the room pressed the "Do Not Disturb" button, that is, he chose to vote for Clark Kent.

Batman was not surprised. Many people were invited to this banquet. In addition to business celebrities, there were also many people from the entertainment industry. Not all of them had received higher education, and everyone had different tendencies and personalities. It was not surprising that someone would be the first to stand out.

Moreover, many of them did not know Clark. When they heard the Joker praising Clark like this, they would inevitably have a rebellious mentality, thinking that this was actually the conspiracy of this madman.

Soon, more and more blue blocks lit up, until almost all the screens in the guest rooms lit up with blue blocks. Batman saw that many people were holding the phone and shouting loudly, as if they wanted their voices to pass through the wall and be heard by the neighbors.

Through the lip movements, Batman could know what they said.

"Damn it! They must vote for him! Could it be that you want to kill old Luther's son? He won't let us go!"

"Where did old Luther go? His son was kidnapped, and he didn't care?!"

"Who knows if this Clark is the accomplice of that madman, and I don't believe anyone can be as perfect as he praises."

"I know little Luther, he is a poor little boy with autism, and he is still young. He may inherit the Luther Group in the future. We can't kill him..."

"We can't kill little Luther, he is the only son of old Luther. If he inherits the Luther Group in the future, he will definitely be much worse than his father. If he dies, old Luther will find a more powerful heir, and that will be troublesome!"...

Just like that, almost all the rooms began to flash blue, and the cold light fell on Batman's mask. The information in their words was transmitted to Batman's mind, and blended with the compliments that kept coming out of the Joker's mouth, just like a whole complete world was suddenly split in half.

On one side is praise, on the other side is murderous intent, two completely different emotions surround Batman.

This is a weird and absurd scene. All the actors on this stage seem to be acting their own roles. The Joker is praising Clark, but the other supporting roles do not appreciate his feelings and make their own decisions.

But they seem to be inextricably linked. Everyone is observing the other's reaction and then making the decision they think is right.

Soon, Batman found that many people who pressed the button for the first time began to get angry. They held the phone and said loudly:

"I didn't want to press it. I was forced to do so!"

"That madman said that if we don't press the button, he will let the radiation leak and let us all get cancer. You don't know how painful cancer is!"

"My father died of advanced lung cancer. In the last few days of his life, he could only rely on painkillers to maintain his life. It was too painful. I don't want to be like him!"

"What's wrong with me? I just want to live. Why can't I press it?"

"He's just a college student. What if he studies well? How will he be? How much can he achieve in the future? Maybe he should just go back home and farm. One more farmer like him won't make a difference in this world, and one more farmer like him won't make a difference!"

"I have a company with a market value of tens of millions, and there are so many employees waiting for me to support them. I am more important than him!"

"Why is he tied there, and I am the one who makes the choice? Because I am the Lord's chosen one, I blame the Lord for not choosing him, and those who abandon him should die!"

Batman just stood there, watching their mouths slanting down fiercely, their eyes raised high, and the droplets sprayed out because of talking loudly, watching them blushing and arguing for themselves, scratching their ears and cheeks to come up with reasonable excuses.

Batman suddenly had that strange feeling in this scene. They were so into the play that even when facing this situation, they could use their smart brains to justify themselves.

They were so serious and earnest to put on a reasonable coat for this absurd comedy performance.

They are indeed actors, not spectators. After being dragged into the river of rules, they never thought about getting ashore, but competed to be the fastest swimmer, and hoped that the companions who fell behind could feed the crocodiles in exchange for their own safety.

Are these people victims? Maybe, Batman thought.

When the blue squares on the full screen flashed, the cold light shone on Batman's eyes and flowed down from his eyelashes, like ice spikes under the eaves on a snowy day.

At this time, he couldn't help but wonder, why are they so serious?

Batman shook his head and threw away those thoughts. This scene was still not enough to shake him. He was no longer the fledgling Batman.

He took out the equipment in his bat belt and began to try to pry the door. Although the Joker threatened him to press the button if he left, he couldn't really sit and do nothing. That was not Batman's style.

Soon, the Joker's actions on the screen confirmed Batman's previous guess that he must have an accomplice, because the Joker picked up another phone with his other hand, and he "hmmed" a few times to the other end, and then raised his voice and said:

"It seems that many people have made their choices, and they chose - Clark Kent!"

"You made a good choice! You are about to send a good person with excellent character and academic performance to a bomb, and then let the bomb blow his head into a bloody mess!"

"I can give you a chance to regret. As long as you press another button, the result will change... You don't plan to do this? Really?... Oh, okay."

"Wait!" The Joker suddenly said in a puzzled tone. He put another phone to his ear, said "Hello" a few times, and then said:

"Emergency communication! Emergency communication! We learned from an unknown but reliable informant that Lionel Luthor is dead!"

"That is our friend who is being held captive, Lex Luthor's father, the controller of the Luthor Group, he is dead!"
