Chapter 1995 U Transcendence Event (Eighty-Six)
The story starts with that barbecue.
When Red Hood and Red Robin went there, Bruce and Jack had already finished their barbecue, so they didn't even get to eat.
But the fact that Batman and the Joker had a barbecue together was still a bit shocking, so Red Robin later discussed with Red Hood that they should investigate the matter together.
It would definitely not work to ask Batman directly, but it would be no different to ask the Joker, and Red Robin proposed a pretty good investigation method, which was to find Gordon.
They believed that no matter in which universe, Sheriff Gordon was a trustworthy good man. Although he was also at the barbecue that day, there must be something hidden, and the two thought it would be better to start from here.
It happened that Barbara was still living with Gordon at the time, so they contacted Barbara and came to Gordon's office to ask him what was going on between Batman and the Joker.
Gordon got angry when he mentioned this, because he thought of his rare royal flush. It might be the biggest card he had ever encountered in his life. It had never happened before and would never happen again. But it was broken by the Joker.
While explaining all this to Red Robin and Red Hood, the relatively young Gordon couldn't help but complain to the two Robins.
Red Hood was fine, but Red Robin's detective instinct kicked in again. He instinctively asked Gordon for details. Gordon was also wondering about it, so they sat together to study.
At that time, Jack had a card that could form a four-of-a-kind, and Gordon's card was one short of a royal flush. There was no need to go into details about the specific cards. The key was that both of them needed a spade J, and Jack stole Gordon's.
At that time, Gordon was so angry that he handcuffed the Joker on the spot and even took him back to the police station, but he let him go in the end. The biggest reason he did this was that he didn't find the spade J on Jack.
Even if they found it, they couldn't do anything to Jack. Not to mention in Gotham, stealing cards anywhere is not a crime. Even if Gordon could find another excuse to bring Jack to court, there would be no place in jail.
Red Robin, a detective, said it was impossible on the spot. You saw him stealing cards, and you saw him hiding the playing cards on his body. Then he immediately handcuffed his hands. He didn't find any strange behavior on the way back to the police station. How could they not find the stolen goods?
Gordon, Barbara, Red Hood and Red Robin sat there and studied it all night, recreating the crime scene, imitating the crime process, and even asked Bruce for the surveillance of that street in the end, but they didn't see where Jack hid the cards.
Although Red Robin was a patient person, he was not. Red Hood was more inclined to beat up the criminals and force them to confess, so he went to find the Joker.
Red Hood is always young and never learns his lesson. Batman knows that he should use courtesy before force. He went up and beat Jack up. Can Jack tell him?
Jack not only didn't tell him, but also made a clown-like reversal of right and wrong, saying that your original speculation was meaningless because this game of cards was wrong from the beginning.
Gordon's hand of cards could not make a royal flush at all. The spade J was originally his. Someone wanted to steal his cards, so he deliberately hid the cards.
Can this Red Hood let him talk nonsense? He immediately called the others over, and they reviewed the game from the beginning.
But something was wrong during the review. Red Hood and Red Robin realized that the final winner of this game was neither Gordon nor Jack, but Bruce.
There were many problems in this game of cards, but the biggest problem was not with Gordon or Jack, but with Bruce.
Red Hood insisted that it must be the clown Jack who lied about the information and caused the review to be wrong, which led to this situation. Red Robin reserved his opinion.
But the few of them still faced a big problem, that is, where did the Spade J go? Unfortunately, they returned to their own universe before they could figure it out.
All encounters are so-called reunions after a long separation, but there are always some reunions after a long separation that make people's blood pressure soar. The Red Hood, who had been in the pool, was already quite irritable, and the Jack he faced was particularly slippery and relentless. When he thought of the evidence of the crime that he could not find no matter how hard he tried, he became even angrier.
"You insisted that the card Gordon dealt in the third round was the King of Hearts. Obviously, you remembered it wrong, but you still refused to admit it."
"What do you mean I remembered it wrong?!" Jack raised his voice and said, "That's why I said he couldn't make a royal flush at all, but the four of a kind in my hand is obvious. He falsely accused me of stealing his Jack of Spades because he was afraid that he would lose after I made the hand. Why don't you understand?!"
"But your hole cards are clearly the 3 of Hearts and the 2 of Diamonds. How could you think of placing a big bet with such small cards? It means you have been wanting to steal cards for a long time!"
"Have you ever played Texas Hold'em? I don't know what the hole cards are! If I wanted to steal cards, why didn't I call the small blind bet instead of folding?!"
Jack stretched his neck and shouted, then he pointed at the Red Robin next to him and said, "You asked him to tell you how low the probability of a royal flush is? How dare Gordon call big and raise the bet in the first two rounds? It shows that he is the one who deliberately stole the cards!"
"And you are a complete idiot. Do you remember how many times I have said that Gordon said he wanted to form a straight flush of hearts at first because he had the King of Hearts, so what is the probability of him forming a royal flush of spades? If you are uneducated, go read more books!"
"How dare you, a truck driver, mock me for being uneducated?!"
"At least I graduated from junior high school!"
Red Hood was so angry that he was fuming.
He didn't waste any more words, rolled up his sleeves and rushed up to grab Jack's collar, and Jack was dragged out of the spectator seat by him.
Red Robin and Nightwing rushed forward to separate them, and Peter also shouted: "Don't fight! Don't fight! What are you doing! Let him go!"
Jason's physique is considered quite strong among the Bat Family. Although Jack is not short, he is thin. Jason carried him like a chicken, and he couldn't get away after being hit.
Red Hood pressed Jack to the ground and was about to hit him. Red Robin rushed over and grabbed his hand. Nightwing held Red Hood's arm with both hands and dragged him back. Peter took advantage of the chaos to grab Jack's ankle and pulled him aside.
But they were like the two dogs separated by the glass door. They couldn't fight, but they never stopped talking. One called the other an uneducated brat, and the other called the other a bastard who cheated even when playing cards.
It just so happens that Jason and Jack are both from the lower class of Gotham. When old Gotham is cursing, it is called a variety of ways, with a distinct rhythm. Many curse words that have never been heard of or thought of are squeezed into everyone's ears. Now take a recorder and it will be another platinum album that is thriving.
"Stop it."
Batman's deep voice is usually very deterrent, but that is basically in an empty castle or a dark alley, not in a rap competition at its climax.
The voice that is not high enough and does not last long enough dissipates helplessly in the sea of muted words, and Batman has to walk out of the spectator seat.
He is going to knock the Joker unconscious directly, so that this fight can be completely eliminated. He has long passed the age of arguing with criminals about right and wrong, and the best choice is to make them shut up first.
But the problem is that Spider-Man is guarding Jack.
"Hey, sir, don't come over here." Peter stared at Batman and said, "You are standing on the same side as them, right? But fighting is wrong, we should calm down..."
Peter turned sideways and dodged a bat dart with electric light. He sighed, shook his head and said, "You just want to fight, right? It just so happens that I haven't exercised for a long time."
"Wait a minute, you..."
Before Owen, who had just run down from the stage, could stop them, Peter threw Batman out with a shoulder throw.
Batman turned around in mid-air and landed on the ground. His eyes immediately became serious when he looked at Peter. Peter stuck a spider silk to the beam above the screening room, and kicked in a Spider-Man style. Batman turned over and dodged it.
Batman stabilized his center of gravity again and threw two more bat darts, but Peter seemed to have eyes on his back. He turned sideways smoothly and landed steadily on the back of the chair, and just avoided two bat darts.
Batman narrowed his eyes. He saw that this young man was not easy to deal with.
But the Batman from Arkham Knight is also ranked among all the Batmen in terms of combat power, almost second only to the Batman wearing the hell armor.
Within a second of Spider-Man landing, a hook rope flew past like a ghost claw. Peter followed his instinct to dodge to the right, but the rope rolled to the right at the same time, directly tying Peter tightly.
Just as Batman was about to press the button of the electric shock device, he saw Peter's arm exert a little force, and the rope broke directly. Then a flash of red light flashed across Peter's body, and he rose up on the spot and floated in the air.
"Is your name Clark Kent?" Batman didn't forget to tell a cold joke.
"I'm Peter Parker."
With a whoosh, another hook rope flew towards Peter, and there were three bat darts blocking the route next to him. Peter drew a smooth arc in the air and passed through the ceiling steel frame.
Batman showed no weakness. The grappling hook missed the target. He stretched out his hand and pulled it. The grappling hook was directly wrapped around the beam. Batman flew up, and dozens of bat darts sparked and flashed along the way.
Snap, snap, snap, snap!
With a bang, the spotlight in front of the stage fell down, crackling into pieces. With a click, the steel frame next to it broke from the side, and then slammed under the seats below, directly knocking dozens of chairs flying.
Owen stared at the battle above his head in amazement. He just stretched out his hand to pull the two down, and the Red Hood, who was still fighting with Jack, elbowed Owen, and Owen went directly under the seats.
"Stop!!!"
As Owen roared, everyone's time was frozen. Owen separated the people who were fighting one by one, threw them to different positions, and then looked at his smashed theater and wanted to cry.
After the freeze was released, the others were still panting, but Jack suddenly laughed crazily.
"Hahahaha! Hahahahahahahahahahaha! You've been fooled again!"
When everyone's eyes were focused on him, Jack took a deep breath, looked around and said.
"Think about it, where did Schiller go?"
