Chapter 613: Morbid Crisis (II)

In the Gotham hospital, Lex had a bandage on his forehead and Bruce had a bandage on his arm. The sound of their quarrel could be heard across two corridors, but whether they could be understood or not was another matter.

Clark, standing outside the door, hugged his arms and said to the bat cat on his shoulder: "I really don't understand, what are they arguing about, I don't understand what they are saying..."

Who knows, the bat cat on his shoulder stepped on his shoulder, sharpened its claws on the wall, and then said: "What is Lex talking about???"

"You don't understand either, right? Even if there is an academic dispute, you can talk about it calmly. Why bother to fight? Fighting is wrong."

Who knows, the bat cat "whoosh" jumped off his shoulder, rushed into the ward, and started "meowing" at Lex. Bruce turned his head and said to Lex: "Look, he also agrees with my idea. Your method is really too radical. Have you ever thought about the consequences of energy leakage?"

"I have said it before, my safety measures are fine, you are too conservative, and the problem of human experiments..."

"Do you want to conduct human experiments?" Clark originally wanted to catch the bat cat, but he heard Lex say that he wanted to conduct human experiments. He He immediately said righteously: "No matter what, absolutely not!"

Lex took a deep breath and said: "I'm talking about the kind of reasonable and legal human experiments. Don't you know there is such a thing as clinical trials?!"

"If we don't use humans to conduct experiments, how can we know the effect of this energy on humans! Why can't we recruit volunteers?"

"This is different from drugs." Clark retorted: "That energy looks very dangerous. I still support throwing them all into the sun to destroy them."

"No." Bruce refuted Clark again, saying: "We can't completely stop studying a certain energy just because it is dangerous. Nuclear energy was also a dangerous energy for humans at the beginning, but we can still use it to do a lot of things."

"So, you should stand on my side!" Lex shouted: "Directly establish an experimental base covering the entire Gotham underground, and recruit volunteers for clinical trials at the same time..."

"The situation in Gotham's underground is very complicated, and now my laboratory is enough." Bruce rejected his proposal.

"Yeah, you have your cave. I said I wanted to build a base here, but you disagreed, Bruce. You wanted to use this despicable method to get rid of my research progress. I can only say that you are completely guilty..."

"I will not allow you to build a base in Gotham, Luthor. I know what kind of person you are. If the Luthor family builds a base here, your next step is to use illegal means to "recruit" volunteers." Bruce looked at Lex and asked him, "Can you promise that you won't do this?"

Lex looked straight ahead and didn't answer him, but as Bruce said, he didn't care about the lives of ordinary people at all. He was not the same as Batman and Superman.

"I suggested that you could bring some of the dark energy back to Metropolis, but you didn't agree." Bruce said.

"Is that because I disagree?!" Lex raised his voice, and then heard Clark say, "Bruce, how could you do this? You should support me and destroy this energy. You actually want him to bring the energy back to Metropolis. Are you afraid that it won't harm ordinary people?"

Lex and Bruce both took a deep breath.

These three people have an unsolvable quarrel logic cycle, that is, Lex belongs to the radical faction, Bruce belongs to the neutral faction, and Clark belongs to the conservative faction, and the three people have different positions.

Lex and Bruce are both researchers, while Clark is a security guard, and the two sides have different styles.

Lex belongs to the evil camp, Bruce and Clark are both lawful camps, and the two camps are also different.

Lex and Clark are both from Metropolis, while Bruce belongs to Gotham, and the two sides have different geographical positions.

When these three people get together, no matter what the topic is, the three of them can quarrel out a circle.

Lex proposed a solution, Bruce and Clark thought it was too evil, so they rejected it.

Clark proposed a solution, Bruce and Lex thought he was too conservative and didn't understand the professional field at all, so they rejected it.

Bruce proposed a method, and Lex or Clark also rejected it because of the difference between Gotham and Metropolis.

With Cobblepot in the middle and Pikachu adding fuel to the fire, there were more than 30 quarrels in this ward a day, and the doctors and nurses were all troubled by their quarrels.

If it weren't for Clark, they might have been able to convince each other physically, but Clark firmly believed that they couldn't fight, so when they wanted to fight, Superman would use his powerful strength to hold them down, and then they returned to verbal quarrels.

In this way, a week passed, and this group of people had reached the point of no more quarrels and were tired of each other. Lex, who was the least injured, recovered first. He no longer wanted to say anything to this group of people, so he planned to be discharged from the hospital and return to Gotham University to do research.

On the morning of the day he was about to be discharged from the hospital, he packed his things and turned on the TV, then said: "I was busy arguing with you guys a few days ago and didn't watch the news. Let me see if there is any new news..."

Just after turning on the TV, Bruce, who was still asleep, was awakened. After waking up, he turned over. Clark came in with breakfast, gave them each a portion, and then leaned against the wall and started eating.

Bruce took the newspaper at hand and blocked the light of the TV. He was more accustomed to reading newspapers during breakfast, rather than watching TV in a more modern way.

But at this time, Lex, who was watching TV, and Bruce, who was reading the newspaper, were stunned at the same time, because the report on TV and the front-page headline in the newspaper both reported a murder case.

"...Our reporter captured precious images of the crime scene, but for humanitarian reasons, some images are blurred..."

"According to the on-site reporter, the scene was too tragic. Most of the witnesses are receiving professional psychological counseling. Before the counseling is over, they are temporarily unable to accept police inquiries..."

"The following images may cause discomfort to some people, so watch with caution..."

As the host finished speaking, a black-background picture was shown on the TV. Most of the parts of this picture were mosaiced, but it can be seen that a person is sitting on a chair, looking up with his head raised.

This posture is normal, but the mosaiced parts show blood and internal organs. This person did not sit on the chair voluntarily. His two arms are gone, so his upper body can be directly fixed to the back of the chair with wires, and his ankles are nailed to the legs of the chair.

His chest and abdomen were cut open, and his organs and internal organs were all over the floor, but the only bloody part that was not mosaiced was the head of the corpse.

The eyes of the corpse were dug out, and even the skin around the eyes was torn off, revealing the eye socket bones like a skull.

At this time, two objects were inserted into the two eye sockets. The picture was not very clear, but Lex and Bruce could see that they were two small telescopes.

This brutal scene made Bruce and Lex stunned for a moment. Clark directly spit out the food in his mouth and began to retch on the spot.

The part that was censored was bloody, but not scary. On the contrary, the exposed head was both terrifying and weird, which brought a great visual impact.

After the picture disappeared, the host's voice continued to come: "The deceased is 53 years old this year. He is the president of the Metropolitan Central Bank. His body was found in the middle of the road in front of the Central Bank. There were about a hundred witnesses, but no trace of the murderer was found..."

Bruce and Batcat narrowed their eyes at the same time. Obviously, they both thought of another case, that is, the murder of the president cat in Gotham, the cat city.

The identity and location are exactly the same, and it is difficult for people not to associate them together.

Lex picked up his handbag and prepared to go out. Bruce's arm was not fully healed yet, but he stood up, called Lex, and said, "I'll go to Metropolis with you."

"You are from Gotham, don't come to Metropolis." Lex turned around and looked at Bruce and said.

"You should have thought that this is inseparable from the owl. As long as it is related to the owl, I must participate in the investigation." Bruce stood up from the bed, stood in front of Lex, and said to him: "You should know that even if you don't agree, I have other ways."

At this time. Batcat also called out, meaning he wanted to go too. Clark, who was still in shock and nausea, picked up Batcat, walked between the two and said, "Are you going to investigate this murder? I want to go too. The murderer is so... so..."

Clark didn't know how to describe it again. Just when he said he wanted to go, Bruce and Lex immediately stood together. Lex spoke first, "No need. Wayne and I can handle it."

Bruce also said, "When I'm not in Gotham, I need someone to help maintain law and order. I will contact Detective Gordon. You will be his good helper."

Clark opened his mouth, not understanding why the two refused him to join the investigation team, but when he thought of the worrying law and order situation in Gotham, he Feeling that he had to uphold justice here, he nodded and said, "Okay, it's okay here."

Batcat was about to jump off his shoulder and join Bruce and his team, but Clark grabbed him and said, "No, you have to stay here with me. You are half a local. If there is anything I don't understand, I still have to ask you."

Batcat struggled desperately, but until Bruce and Lex disappeared from his sight, he couldn't jump out of Clark's big hand. Pikachu next to him jumped onto Clark's other shoulder and said to Batcat, "I advise you not to go. This is not a cat's world."

Batcat in Clark's hand sighed, and just when he wanted to struggle one last time, the TV suddenly interrupted with an urgent news:

"Our station reports that just two minutes ago, the police discovered another murder case. The initial inference is that the murderer was the same as the previous murder of the bank president. Our reporters went deep into the front line and filmed the crime scene. The following images may cause discomfort to some people. Please watch with caution..."

Another figure sitting on a chair appeared in the picture.

This time it was a woman. Her arms also disappeared. She was also tied to the back of the chair with wire. However, the difference was that this time the head that was not censored disappeared not the eyes, but the ears.

The ears of this corpse were cut off, and the skin and tissue nearby were all gone. Two speaker-shaped signal receivers were inserted into the ear canals of the skull bones.
