Chapter 1667: No Time to Die (30)
The Joker and Spider-Man broke up.
On a rainy night, the Joker disappeared at the end of the dark street, like a silent person who carried countless tragic stories.
The main reason was that the Joker really didn't know what to say in the acceptance speech of Gotham's good neighbor, so he decided to leave the award to Spider-Man alone.
Well, in fact, it was because Spider-Man was too annoying. His style was completely different from this taciturn city. Not only did he have to chat with the Joker every minute, but when the Joker didn't respond to him, he told his story alone.
The Joker was a person with excellent endurance. Just imagine him as a crazy version of Batman. He had all the characteristics of Batman, and willpower was naturally not a problem. He could endure anything to achieve his goals.
He planned to wait until Spider-Man had nothing to say and then he would be quiet, but who could have expected that Spider-Man had thousands of stories to tell in his short life of more than ten years.
When Spider-Man finished recounting almost every minute and every second of his life experience, and began to recount the life experiences of Aunt May and Uncle Ben, the Joker knew that endurance without results was meaningless.
And Spider-Man didn't just tell the Joker.
When a bicycle fell on the side of the road, he would say something about how random parking violated public order and might trip people or even crush pet dogs.
When someone carried a heavy object upstairs, he would teach them how to use their waist to avoid hurting their muscles, and which leg to put their center of gravity on when carrying a heavy object to make it easier to go upstairs.
When the drainpipe on the roof dripped, he knocked on it while talking about the effect of gravitational potential energy on raindrops, the history of metal drainpipe manufacturing, the life of the inventor, and the economic background of the era when it was widely used in the United States.
For the first time, the Joker abandoned his object of use without any external interference or extraction of clean surplus value, just because he was simply too annoying.
But if he abandoned Spider-Man, the Joker would not be able to walk around the streets like Spider-Man to find Robin.
The Joker's super wisdom told him that the current Robin's behavior pattern has completely changed. If he uses the previous behavior pattern, he is likely to make mistakes. It is difficult to lure them out using the previous method.
The Joker returned to the Joker Gang's base and found that Harley Quinn was not there. He directly sent a message to all the staff, asking them to look for Robins in Gotham.
As a result, before the people who went to find them could send back any news, Batman's second Robin Jason Todd blasted open the door of the Joker Gang with a grenade.
"Listen, everyone inside! From today, we have taken over everything on Nottingham Street. Either join the family or die!"
When the Red Hood rushed in and the Joker stared at each other, they were both stunned.
"Joker?!!"
The Joker thought that the Red Hood would rush up and grab his collar and throw him against the wall to punch him a few times like before, so he simply didn't run or move.
But Red Hood stared at the Joker in surprise and said, "Joker? Why are you here? I heard that this is the territory of the gangs?"
Then Red Hood looked around the surrounding environment and found the many smiling face graffiti and the graffiti spray painting of the Joker in the center of the wall. He showed an expression of sudden enlightenment, and his eyes were a little wrong when he looked at the Joker again.
"So you are also in the gang?!"
"... This is not a gang!"
"But you are their boss, they all listen to you, and then you commit crimes together. If this is not a gang, what is it?"
"They are just cannon fodder I recruited!"
"Gangsters are all cannon fodder!"
After the voice fell, Red Hood put away the rocket launcher on his shoulder, shook the leg that did not support the center of gravity in a slightly gangster-like manner, touched his nose with his hand and said.
"The Godfather said that to join the mafia you must first have a broad mind. In this case, I won't bother you about the little things you did in the past. How about you and your men join us?"
"You...Batman..."
"Why are you talking so much? How do you know Batman? You can't live without Batman, right? Just say it, do you want to do it?!"
The Joker's current mood can probably be summarized as - he said all my words!
After the initial shock, the Joker took a deep breath and came back to his senses. He crossed his arms and looked at the Red Hood in front of him and said, "What are you doing? Batman's serious and stinky face finally drove you crazy?!"
"As you can see, we just set up a gangster family in Gotham City." The Red Hood shrugged, as if he was just talking about what he had eaten this morning. He turned the rocket launcher upright and stuck it on the ground, staring at the Joker and said, "Don't change the subject. You are the last gangster on this street. If we get rid of you, this street will be ours."
"Since you are an old acquaintance of ours, I'll ask you one last time, do you want to do it?!"
Just as the Joker was about to say something, his group of mentally ill Joker fans couldn't stand it anymore. A man rushed out from behind a pile of discarded cans, shouting strange language, and fired at this side with a gun.
Then there were "boom boom boom", "bang bang bang", "swoosh swoosh", and suddenly, the whole Joker gang became the scene of a gang fight. After more than ten minutes, Jason and Harley brought people to clean up the scene and happened to meet Harley, the Harley girl, who was passing by.
Harley stood in front of the street and looked at the pile of strange charred wreckage in front of her blankly, with only one sentence in her mind-where is my home? ? ?
Harley looked at Harley, who looked exactly like her but dressed like a punk parrot, and only one sentence in her mind-who is this? ? ?
At the same time, the Joker, who slipped away unscathed, swallowed back his words that he agreed to follow the Red Hood. The gangs are simply rude! There is no aesthetic sense!
Then, the Joker came to the Gotham Police Department, but this time he did not surrender. He was very confident that he could convince the now imprisoned Penguin to work with him to figure out what was going on.
As a result, he heard Gordon on the second-floor balcony talking on the phone with a government official, revealing that the Penguin had just been rescued by the "Neville" family, a new gangster family in Gotham.
When the word Neville came out, what else did the Joker not understand?
At this moment, the Joker suddenly realized that this might be the unprecedented super-invincible and huge fun in Gotham's history.
Because the Joker only realized at this time that these teenagers did not suddenly go crazy, they really understood something.
They were even willing to put aside their serious moral bottom line in the past for this ridiculous gangster career, and bribe and accept bribes to rescue criminals in the police station.
And now he actually wasted time on stopping Robin, instead of rushing to Batman immediately, paying full attention to his every move and every expression, and watching this huge fun that could subvert Gotham with Batman?
The Joker almost used his hands and feet to flip out from the balcony of the Gotham Police Station, and then came to the Batcave at the fastest speed, standing outside the Batcave and knocking hard on the door like Spider-Man knocking on the door.
"Open the door! Open the door! Is there anyone? Is Batman at home? Open the door quickly!"
Batman opened the door and saw that it was the Joker standing outside. He was not surprised at all, because he had seen the Joker's traces in the monitoring room a long time ago.
The Joker showed Batman a bright smile, clasped his hands, blinked at Batman and said: "The Robins have been very busy recently, right?"
"What do you want to do?" Batman narrowed his eyes and said.
Batman's tone was as if the Joker cared about the whereabouts of the Robins in order to attack them, but he heard the Joker say.
"It seems that the new Robin doesn't like to stay with you either. I have a good candidate to recommend to you."
"...Who?"
"Me, what do you think?"
The Joker didn't miss the shock that flashed across Batman's eyes, but he really recommended himself sincerely.
Not only because it was fun to watch Batman up close, but also because Batman was the only one who had the same wisdom as him, could match his brainwaves, understood him very well, spoke little and was not annoying, and could integrate the audience and the protagonist into one perfect film partner.
The Joker's real idea was that only Batman was worthy of watching this huge fun with him.
Taunt Robin, question Robin, understand Robin, and become Robin.
Batman took a deep breath, but he still made way a little and greeted the Joker into the Batcave with a serious expression.
He didn't have the ability to read minds, and couldn't guess what the Joker was thinking. He just hoped that if he could drag the culprit to his side, maybe he would have fewer conspiracies against Robin and his children would be safer. Batman always chose this.
The Joker, who had completely changed his mentality, returned to the Batcave as if he had returned to his own home. Batman turned around and saw the Joker slumped on the only sofa in the Batcave, holding a pillow in one hand and Jason's unfinished snacks in the other hand, shoving them into his mouth - he was much more comfortable than Robin.
But this is not without reason. Every time Robin comes to the Batcave, he either comes to receive training or to quarrel with Batman. All the unfinished snacks are because the atmosphere was good at the beginning, but they would quarrel after staying for a while, and then they would throw away the snacks and leave.
The Joker leaned on the sofa and ate potato chips, with a mouth full of potato chip residue, and said to Batman: "Where is your super large screen? Move it out quickly. I just put the camera you set up in the Joker Gang base on the little guy wearing the red hood. You can adjust the line, right?"
Batman stood silently for a while, and soon, a huge projection screen appeared in the hall. The Joker slumped on the sofa eating snacks, and Batman stood in the shadow behind him fully armed.
What surprised the Joker was that the first picture that appeared on the screen was not a gang fight with gunfire and bullets, but a table appeared in the picture with the red hood as the first-person perspective.
The table was a bit messy, with an unassembled gun on it, and parts scattered everywhere, but in the middle of the table was a letter, which had just been opened.
The surveillance screen zoomed out a little, and Batman found that Red Hood was standing behind the chair, and Red Robin was sitting on the chair, reaching out to dip his pen in ink.
Red Robin picked up the pen and wrote a letter on a new piece of letter paper, looking like he was going to reply to someone. The letter was halfway written, so the title could not be seen. Red Hood was shaking like ADHD, and the content of the letter was almost completely unclear.
But Batman still used his amazing dynamic vision to capture the last sentence of the signature and the name of the recipient.
"... According to the plan, the operation to conquer Nottingham Street went very smoothly. Our next goal is Baladi Street. Thank you very much for your careful answers and guidance. I look forward to hearing from Sicily. God bless you forever.
To the respected Godfather, Mr. Carmine Falcone."
Tongtiandai!
