Chapter 574: All Sewn Up (Part 1)

When Thomas finished shouting this, Batman and Cobblepot were both stunned.

Batman didn't react to what he was saying for a moment, and Cobblepot had no idea about the previous murders, and thought that the serial killer Thomas was talking about was actually Lex.

Thomas panted and said in a hysterical voice: "This is beyond my plan! I didn't do that case, things shouldn't be like this, I clearly planned it..."

Seeing Thomas's somewhat collapsed mood, Batman realized that this might be a good time to ask the truth, so he looked at Thomas and asked: "You said your fiancée is in danger, and there is a serial killer, what's going on?"

Thomas' voice trembled a little, he seemed very reluctant, but he also knew that Batman was the only one who could stop this now, so he said:

"I killed Doris, I borrowed a javelin from the sports equipment room, pierced her chest and killed her, but my purpose was not to kill her, I just wanted to use this case to..."

"... to prove my alibi." Batman Interrupting him in a calm tone, Batman continued: "You put yourself in jail, and then let your accomplices kill the Elliots to prove your alibi, and then find a way to overturn your case, so that you can be released from jail and inherit the Elliot family."

"And the way you overturn the case is to let your accomplices continue to commit murders similar to Doris's case outside, making it a serial murder case, so that you can prove that the person who killed Doris was not you."

Thomas was stunned, but then he showed a gnashing expression of hatred on his face, but soon turned into a complex emotion, he said: "Batman... Batman... You are such a genius, I should be too, I should be too..."

"Then what about your fiancée and the serial murder case you mentioned?" Batman asked.

"Yes... yes! Go find Belena! She may be in danger now! Someone is targeting her..."

Thomas' arms were shaking, and he said, "I did kill the second victim of the cheerleading group, because as long as the serial murder case continues, it means that I am innocent in prison..."

"But, but the third case is not me... There is another murderer! His next target is my fiancée Belena!"

Thomas' words were a bit confusing, and Batman didn't hear any logic. He only heard Thomas admit that he killed the first and second victims, but denied that he killed the third victim.

Logically speaking, if he admitted to killing two people in person, he would not deny the third victim. At this stage, Thomas could not get away with it anyway, so he didn't need to insist that the third victim was not killed by him.

"First of all, you have to tell me, who is your accomplice? How did you commit the case?" Batman ignored Thomas's anxiety. He would not be fooled, because whether Thomas was performing or not, he had to find out what was going on.

Thomas seemed to be indifferent. He confessed: "Just about two weeks ago, I wanted to see a doctor because of anxiety. It might be at that time that I left my phone number. Not long after, a psychiatrist who called himself Dr. Hugo called me..."

"He said that he was very experienced in this area and could help me with treatment. I didn't want my parents to know that I had a mental illness, so I couldn't go to a regular hospital for treatment. He said he had experience in treatment, so I planned to go and see him."

"After I arrived at the agreed location, I found that there was no psychological clinic there. Later I found out that they were hiding in the sewers of Gotham."

"There is A frozen warehouse was excluded, but they were hiding there for some reason. "" At that time, I wanted to leave, but the person named Hugo stopped me. We talked for a while. I felt that he was indeed an excellent psychologist. He talked a lot with me. I revealed a lot of secrets in my heart. He said that my anxiety and pressure came from my parents. As long as there is no source of pressure, my anxiety will naturally be good. " . As long as I follow the plan, but now, this is not in our plan! "" He said that after I was in prison, he would kill my parents, and then he would be another eucalyptus. Choose a girl like Doris and commit a similar eucalyptus at the same place to make a serial killing of eucalyptus.

"He said he would only do one more case, but then I heard there was a third case, so I tried every means to contact a lawyer and contacted Dr. Hugo, but he told me that the third case was not done by him."

"Just then, my fiancée Belena called me. She cried a lot on the other end of the phone, and seemed very sad and scared. She said that someone threatened her with emails and notes, saying that they would kill her..."

Cobert, who had been listening, said: "Belenna? I seem to know her. She is a student of the School of Environment. She has not come to the laboratory these days. Originally, The subject she was responsible often borrowed this laboratory, but I have never seen her for several days. "" So I have to come here to find her! "Thomas yelled:" I know she is doing experiments here. "Kopard looked at Thomas's hand, his hand did wear a glove, but because this special glove was very fond of the hands of the hand, it was not easy to find." She must have disappeared! "Thomas's mood began to become more and more excited. With Laix's arms tighter and tighter, Laix was strangled by him, his face was swollen, and he even began to be a little purple. In any case, Laix's constitution was really bad, let alone Thomas, a tall and strong adult man. The room for resistance. No matter how genius a brain is, it is impossible to convert intelligence into force in this situation. His genius brain has even fallen into a light coma due to lack of oxygen.

Batman obviously also observed this situation. He took two steps forward and wanted to pressure Thomas, but Thomas did not retreat, because he knew that there was a window behind him and he had no way to retreat. He had to give himself a longer depth to deal with the possible attack from Batman.

So he retreated to his left rear, which was the side farther away from Cobblepot and Batman.

In that direction, there was a larger laboratory. Batman pressed forward step by step, and Thomas retreated step by step, retreating in that direction until his back was against the largest instrument in the center of the entire room.

As mentioned before, it was a very large machine, which was cylindrical in shape and connected two floors. In addition to the surrounding consoles and fixtures, there was a cylindrical liquid storage device inside, which contained the raw materials used by Victor to make super ice.

Due to some material science reasons, this thing cannot be stored in a solid state. It can only be placed in a special cabin in liquid form, and it must be stirred constantly. Another chemical agent is also needed to maintain its stability.

At this time, in the cylindrical liquid storage device that Thomas leaned against, the blue liquid kept surging, like beautiful waves, and like unpredictable nebulae. The cold light shone on his back, but because of the good sealing, there was no chill.

It has been proved that necessary stimulation may increase people's vigilance against a certain dangerous item, just like when a person's hand touches a boiling kettle, it will instinctively shrink back. Now, because Thomas did not feel anything abnormal from the thing he leaned against, he did not realize how dangerous he was approaching.

Batman's attention was all on Lex, or in other words, no matter who Thomas held hostage, Batman's first goal was to rescue the hostage.

At this time, because of the great pressure from Batman, Thomas seemed to be a little collapsed. He began to pinch Lex's neck with his hands and said, "You are all the same! You guys... Hey, geniuses? Geniuses? Do you think you are geniuses?!"

"Why are you born superior? Why can't I! Answer me! Is this fair?!"

"Bruce Wayne!" Thomas suddenly raised his voice and said, "Do you think I don't know who you are? Batman! I have been investigating for a long time. From the moment Batman appeared, I started investigating..."

"I see through your tricks! You are not a superhero in the dark night! You damn hypocrite! You just rely on your extraordinary talent and wealth, and now, I want to have all of this..."

However, the scene that Thomas expected, Batman was shocked by his identity being exposed, did not appear, and he didn't even react to this scene.

But this is not surprising. According to the current timeline, in the plot changed by Schiller, almost everyone knows the true identity of Batman. Schiller knows, Gordon knows, Victor knows, Constantine knows, and Hal knows.

When they gather privately, no matter what Bruce wears, whether he wears ordinary sweatshirts and jeans, or the cool bat suit, these people always say "Bruce".

Although Bruce emphasized to them many times that they should call him Batman when he was wearing a bat costume, those people seemed to be coaxing him like a kid. They would just go along with him when he was in a good mood, but they would forget about it when they had something serious to do.

Therefore, Batman used his real name in the circle of Gotham weirdos. After a long time, he was too lazy to correct it. Just call him Bruce. Forcibly correcting the name would not change anything except being laughed at. Let them be. The desensitization treatment was successful.

Seeing that Batman had no reaction, Thomas became more hysterical, and the strength in his hands was even greater. At this time, Batman knew that he had to take action, otherwise Lex would be in danger of his life.

At this moment, a figure was faster than him. The thin Cobblepot rushed to Thomas at an extremely fast speed, then raised the sharp knife in his hand, and Thomas dodged to the side.

At this time, two "swoosh" sounds were heard, and two bat darts flew past Thomas' neck.

In order to avoid being double-teamed, Thomas had to find a shelter. The console next to him was a good choice, but if he wanted to dodge, he couldn't catch Lex, because he was too much of a hindrance.

Thomas threw Lex to the side, then rolled over and hid behind the console, but at this moment, the two batarangs thrown by Batman did not stop, but hit the glass of the liquid storage device directly.

Batman considered that it might cause damage to the things behind Thomas, so he used very little force. The sound of the batarang hitting the glass was very light, and then it fell to the ground, seemingly without causing any damage.

However, a slight crack quietly opened from the contact point, and at this moment, Batman and Cobblepot quickly retreated, and with a "bang", the liquid storage device exploded.

Batman and Cobblepot, who had already hidden on the other side of the room, were not affected, but just felt the biting cold. However, Thomas, who was hiding behind the console and had no time to escape, and Lex, who was thrown aside by Thomas, were directly submerged by the splashing blue liquid.

Then, Batman saw that a series of bubbles suddenly appeared in the dreamy blue waves.

Then, a pale and thin hand stretched out from the liquid. At the same time, the eternal nightmare of Gotham, which was resurrected in madness, came again-

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
