Chapter 1011 Is This Batman? (Part 2)

"Okay, Miss Zatanna, you should go and have a rest." Victor walked forward, pushed his glasses, and waved to the students who were still debugging the equipment, saying, "There should be empty student dormitories. Send this lady to have a rest. She can't hold on any longer."

After that, Victor looked at Batman and said, "Do you remember the second news I mentioned? The problem of rainwater is not the same as the problem of drinking water sources."

"Most of Gotham's drinking water sources come from groundwater. The more than 50 water purification plants and the seven largest water companies in the city are basically non-existent. Gotham's drinking water conditions are not much different from those in the Middle Ages."

"I have detected more than 70 hallucinogenic ingredients in the groundwater source. The content is not large, but the ratio is accurate. It should be artificially poisoned."

Victor sighed and said, "These hallucinogenic ingredients are very likely the main reason for the citizens' madness, but according to the clues brought by Jason, the water The poison in the water source may be chronic. "

"Someone has been poisoning Gotham's water source for a long time. This toxin may only cause a mild hallucinogenic reaction at first. In a city like Gotham, being a little confused is not a big deal. Many people may not go to the hospital at all. If they go to the hospital, they will not go to the psychiatric department for examination."

"However, the toxins continue to accumulate in the human body and cannot be metabolized. One day, when it reaches a certain critical value, it will be triggered and stimulated by the mysterious substances in the rain, causing the citizens to go crazy."

"At the same time, because many plants in Gotham also rely on groundwater systems, they also have crazy reactions...but I don't know much about botany."

"You mean, someone put a chronic poison into Gotham's groundwater, and the magical reaction between Gotham's rainwater and metal stimulated the toxicity, causing the citizens to go crazy?" Batman summarized it in the most concise language, and Victor nodded.

Victor put the information back on the lab table and said, "That is to say, this is bound to happen. If it doesn't break out today, it will break out tomorrow. As for the so many broccoli and the messy vines, I don't know what's going on."

But Batman knows very well that the consciousness of all plants in the Green of All Things is a collection of plants. Plants are poisoned and crazy, which will definitely attract the attention of the Green of All Things. The Law of All Things came here and was discovered by Constantine, so there were broccoli all over the city.

Just as he was thinking about this, Batman's communicator suddenly rang. He picked up the communicator and said, "...Lex? What? You found the source of the toxin spread? Okay, I know, I'll go there right away."

After hanging up the call, Batman looked at Victor and said, "Lex conducted a broad-spectrum sampling and found the source of the poisoning through computational analysis. I'll go there first and take a look at his analysis report. At the same time, contact Gordon and prepare to arrest him."

"Go ahead." Victor glanced at Batman and said, "I provided the police with a batch of freezing weapons that can cope with various arrests. In addition, Cobblepot told me that he also noticed something wrong, so he deployed people in the East District. I will tell him to keep an eye on it."

After Batman left, Victor looked at his back and shook his head, smiled again, and then said, "Your treatment is really effective. If it were before, he would not show up during the whole thing."

Soon, Batman came to the laboratory on the other side of the laboratory building. Lex was sorting out a lot of experimental data. There was a map of Gotham City hanging on the wall with many locations marked on it.

Seeing Batman and Clark coming together, Lex snorted coldly and showed a teasing smile again, but soon, he reacted and realized that now was not the time to mock. He walked directly to the map and pointed at the map and said: "The leader of the Cobblepot children's gang took samples at more than 160 locations in Gotham. I analyzed the concentration of the samples."

"The conclusion is that the concentration is spreading in a circular step-by-step manner, high in the east and low in the west, high in the south and low in the north. In other words, the source of the spread of toxins is located in the East District or the South District."

"After that, a second detailed sampling was carried out." Lex pointed to the location on the map and said: "The 120 locations in the East District are connected into 60 lines. Repeated sampling is carried out in the most concentrated areas, advancing in a circular shape towards the center point, and finally a location with the highest possibility is determined."

Batman narrowed his eyes. He first looked at Lex. Lex's condition was not very good. He fell into the storage device of the freezing liquid before and was infected with the Joker virus.

However, perhaps because he is not from Gotham, the Joker virus gradually subsided. However, the freezing liquid developed by Victor replaced the blood in his body. Although it gave him the ability to freeze people, it also caused his skin to flash blue under the light.

Despite this, the dark circles on his face are still very obvious. Batman knows that Lex has no base in Gotham, so there is no supercomputer. All the conclusions are calculated by him.

Batman directly took out the communicator and said to the other end: "Hello? Gordon? No. 3 Green Street, Limbo, Capture the poisoner alive."

Lex widened his eyes and looked at Batman and said, "Aren't you going to repeat the calculation? Shouldn't you go back to your Batcave, turn on your advanced supercomputer, run all the data again, and then be surprised at the accuracy of my conclusion?"

"He believes in your conclusion, and you are still angry?" Clark leaned back and looked at Lex in confusion and said, "Although I don't quite understand how you determine the location, your data looks quite reliable. It's normal for us to use it directly, right?"

Lex pursed his lips and showed an expression as if he was eating a fly, but then Clark looked at Batman and said, "But what he said makes sense, or We should verify it. If we catch the wrong person, wouldn't it be wrong to accuse a good person? "

"Why do you think that the wrong person will be caught in Gotham?" Batman asked back. Clark choked and said, "Well, although the probability of catching the wrong person is indeed low based on the security situation here, it can't be said that there is no chance, right?"

Batman's blue eyes glowed, and he said, "For some reason, my soul strength has reached its peak, and so has my brain power. At the same time as he said the conclusion, I had completed all the calculations, and the results were accurate."

Lex was about to refute, but Batman looked at him and said, "The accuracy of your data shocked me."

Lex was choked again. He turned his head and looked to the side, but then he saw Batman staring at the map of Gotham. His face darkened and he said, "The poisoner is not the key. There must be someone behind him. This matter is not that simple."

"How do you know?" Lex walked to Batman's side, stood side by side with him, and asked. Lex thought for a while and then said, "Don't you know how many crazy people there are in Gotham? Maybe someone suddenly wants to destroy Gotham..."

"Indeed, but not many people can accurately see that Gotham's water source and rain are fatal. Moreover, if you want to spread the poison so widely in a short period of time, It is not something that ordinary people can do to make it explode at the right time. "

"I'll go to Green Street." Batman turned and left the laboratory. Before leaving, he turned back and said, "Clark, take Lex to the Batcave."

"I have unlocked the use rights of all monitoring equipment. Lex, you must keep an eye on all the abnormal movements in Gotham City at any time. Clark, guard the Batcave and don't let anyone in."

After saying that, Batman disappeared in the corridor. His back was completely different from the past. Lex and Clark looked at each other, and the shocked expressions on their faces could no longer be restrained.

Lex pursed his lips and said, "You'd better tell me in detail what happened during this period of time. Damn it, I'm busy with the publication of my paper recently. How come suddenly..."

Batman, who left the laboratory building, wanted to contact Alfred and ask him to send a helicopter, but unexpectedly, the figure of the bat fighter appeared on the skyline. After landing on the roof of the building, Hal walked out from it.

He looked at Batman and said, "Your housekeeper contacted me and said you were short of a professional fighter pilot. I happened to be free, so I came here. Triple salary on holidays. You're welcome."

Batman took the lead in walking onto the Batfighter, followed by Hal. As soon as the hatch fell, Batman turned around and looked at Hal next to him and said, "You have superpowers, right?"

Hal was a little confused by the question, but he nodded and said, "Green light energy should be considered a superpower, right?"

"I also have superpowers. Do you know what they are?"

"What is it?"

"I'm super rich."

Batman leaned back, leaned back on the chair, turned back, looked forward and said, "Three hundred times the salary, and... thank you."

Hal's hand shook, and with a "whoosh", the Batfighter flew over the layers of huge broccoli. A few minutes later, it landed on the roof of another building.

The black figure jumped down, and the light of the police lights reflected his cape into a gorgeous neon color. Gordon just put away the gun in his hand, turned his head, and saw Batman appearing in the shadow.

He was about to speak, but saw Batman walked out directly from the shadow. Gordon was stunned for a moment, but finally said: "The suspect is in the house in front. To ensure that there is no violent conflict and casualties, we are formulating an assault plan..."

"No need, I will go in alone. I have some speculations." Batman shook his head, and under Gordon's gaze, he followed the shadow and climbed into the wall of the alley.

Walking through the wet yard full of rain, pushing open a rusty door, there was a figure sitting in the dim house. Batman stood in front of the door and looked at him, then said:

"Professor Klein, long time no see."

Sitting at the dining table in the house was Jonathan Klein, the future Scarecrow, a world-renowned psychologist and psychiatrist, a well-known chemist, and a former professor of psychology at Gotham University.

Jonathan was pouring water for himself. His expression was very calm, as if he didn't see Batman. He took a sip of the water in the cup and said, "It seems that Schiller's treatment of you was very successful, otherwise you wouldn't give me a chance to speak."

"But I still think that I'm no worse than him. Your situation is rare in the field of psychology. If it were handed over to me, I would achieve results no less than his." Jonathan said with his head down.

"I came here alone to ask you a question." Batman's low voice echoed in the room. He said, "You are also a world-renowned psychologist. Perhaps only you can answer my question."

Jonathan turned his head and looked at Batman. His figure was against the light, so it looked darker. Batman said, "Why would a person be unconscious when he has no wounds on his body, no brain injury, and is completely healthy?"

Jonathan's hand trembled, and the water in the cup spilled out. His fingertips trembled slightly.

Then, he closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, sighed, raised his head, looked at the ceiling and said:

"...It seems that I didn't lose unfairly."
