Chapter 2072 Knight's Night of Terror (XVI)
Zizz——
A sharp brake sounded, and Poison Ivy used all her strength to support her body with her hands on the steering wheel. She turned her head and looked at Peter with a horrified expression, and asked again.
"What did you say?"
And the expression on her face clearly showed her current thoughts - are you awake?
Peter turned his head to look at her and said, "I'm not crazy. Let's leave the city from another entrance and go to Blüdhaven again to ask Gordon where he put the Joker's ashes."
"I promise to make you accept my plan before we reach our destination, because this is indeed the best solution now."
"I really can't think of how ridiculous your explanation can be." Poison Ivy sighed and stepped on the accelerator. She held the steering wheel with one hand and put her hand outside the car window and said, "In fact, we all know that this city is the city of Batman and the Joker. Anything related to them is incredibly crazy and no one wants to get involved."
"That's the problem, ma'am." Peter's attitude was very serious. He said, "Maybe you think it's a good thing that the Joker is dead. I think so too. He is an evil "A criminal who has accumulated a lot of wealth deserves any kind of bad retribution."
"But death is not the best retribution. He even got his gift through death. He became one with Batman."
Poison Ivy looked at him with some doubts. Peter sighed and said, "I guess it was the blood that the Joker transfused into Batman that affected Batman."
"In fact, I don't know what complicated entanglement there is between the two of them. I only know that if a fortress is indestructible from the outside, then anyone with a little IQ will think of breaking it from the inside."
"I think all the previous plans for the Titan poison to kill the Joker may have been planned by the Joker himself. His goal is to defeat Batman from the inside."
Poison Ivy frowned, bit her lip, and said after a pause. : "It's not impossible. Before you came here, they fought countless times, but they couldn't decide the winner."
"If Batman doesn't kill the Joker, it's hard for the Joker to really defeat Batman. I've witnessed their fights several times. To be honest, it's hard to understand, but you can see that the Joker will do everything he can to defeat Batman."
"He's about to succeed, so we can't let him succeed."
"Do you think the Joker can really defeat Batman from the inside?"
"No, I don't think so, but he can defeat Gotham." Peter sighed and said, "According to my observation, Batman's willpower is like steel, and simple illusions can't defeat him."
"But don't forget that while there is internal stimulation, there is also external pressure. Scarecrow's fear gas has not been resolved, Penguin, Two-Face, Riddler People are waiting for an opportunity, Arkham Knight suddenly appears, and I..."
Peter held the file and said in a heavy tone: "The Joker laid the plan earlier. If he really kidnapped Jason, then his plan may have started at that time."
"Take away Batman's child, let himself be poisoned to death, reborn in Batman's body, and then let Jason return as Arkham Knight, while cooperating with the chaotic disaster in Gotham."
"The irritability caused by the interference of hallucinations, the heartache of finding that his child was tortured, the guilt of facing Arkham Knight, and the pressure and anxiety of solving the disaster imminently."
Peter turned his head to one side and said with some sigh: "The professor is right. The Joker is the real master of playing with people's hearts. It is hard to imagine who can not make mistakes under such multiple emotional pressures."
"And once Batman makes a mistake, it will definitely cause a chain of bad consequences. Many people will die in Gotham, the city will be destroyed, Arkham Knight will die, Batman will be deserted and ruined, and the city will be completely plunged into a chaotic carnival tonight. "
Peter's hand holding the file tightened, and he said: "In this plan, the Joker can make countless mistakes, but Batman can only make one mistake. "
Poison Ivy seemed to understand a little bit. She looked at Peter and said: "To be honest, I don't want the situation to develop like this. I haven't completely found a place for the plants to take shelter. So how do you want to solve this kind of situation?"
"To be honest, the moment I didn't notice the Joker's plan and started to implement my own plan, the situation was irreversible."
Peter sighed a little helplessly. Knowing that it might be difficult for him to get a high score, but it was obviously not time to hand in the paper yet, he had to fight for some process points for himself.
"The doctor told me that the best way to crack a perfect plan is to do something that is beyond the expectations of the mastermind behind the scenes."
"Maybe everything is within the Joker's expectations, whether it is the betrayal of the Arkham Knight, the disaster caused by the Scarecrow, or the plan I implemented, but there is one thing he probably can't expect."
"Will someone resurrect him? "Poison Ivy said.
"Yes, no one has the motivation to do this. He is the most notorious criminal in this city and a mortal enemy of Batman. The bad guys will laugh at his early death, and the good guys will applaud his death. "
"This creates an unsolvable dilemma for Batman. He can't tell anyone that the Joker is not dead at all and is still alive in his body, because if he does so, there will only be two results. Those who don't believe this statement can't understand his situation, and those who believe this statement will not trust him."
"But he didn't expect you." Poison Ivy's hand holding the steering wheel moved more steadily. Obviously, she had accepted this explanation. She said: "If the Joker is resurrected, there will be two situations. Either the original Joker leaves Batman's body and becomes himself again, or there is a new Joker. Which do you think it will be?"
"No matter which one, the Joker's plan to break Batman from the inside will definitely be disrupted, so his first-mover advantage will disappear." Peter's face was still solemn. He said: "I know we shouldn't resurrect a criminal with blood on his hands, but if there must be a Joker in this world, he must not be Batman, otherwise the whole world will be destroyed."
The previous Spider-Man would never resurrect any criminal, but if Peter understood anything from his observation of Batman these days and what just happened, it is that Batman is the strongest human in the world.
But this is obviously a dilemma. If he doesn't find a way to pull the Joker out of Batman's body, then once the Joker is reborn in Batman's body, he really can't imagine what kind of disaster the world will encounter after such a powerful superhero goes crazy.
Poison Ivy seemed to sense Peter's sadness. Her hand holding the steering wheel paused for a moment, but she still said: "This city is like this, boy."
"A big trouble in front of us and a big trouble in the future, which one should we choose? No matter which one we choose, we will feel very painful. This is the life of most people."
The car drove into the cold storage under Blüdhaven again. Poison Ivy used a vine to wake up Gordon again. Gordon was surprised to see Peter.
However, he didn't know who attacked him at the time, and thought Peter was here to save him, but Peter persuaded him to stay here. Gordon didn't agree at first, but seeing Barbara still unconscious next to him, he finally didn't impulsively return to Gotham.
After explaining his purpose to Gordon, Gordon showed a very obvious hesitant expression, and Peter looked at him and said: "We don't have time, Sheriff, you know Batman can't have any problems, he is the last hope."
Gordon, who looked a little old, leaned against the corner, sitting with his hands on his knees. He looked up at the ceiling and sighed deeply and said: "In fact, I don't agree with Batman doing this. I don't know if it's the Joker virus in his body that's causing trouble."
"What's wrong with him?" Poison Ivy asked curiously.
"He's not the only one infected with the Joker virus." Gordon shook his head and said: "Just a few days before Scarecrow announced the destruction of Gotham, I found a base where he used to detain Joker virus infected people. There were at least five patients there, all of whom showed symptoms of infection with the Joker virus."
Peter frowned deeply. He really didn't expect that the Joker virus was actually an infectious disease.
"I don't mean to slander Batman, but I really can't understand why he did this." Gordon lowered his eyes and said, "I advised him, and the excuse he gave me was that he wanted to cure everyone, but that doesn't make sense at all."
"This really doesn't seem like a superhero's move. If you want to cure it, you should at least get treatment. If you are worried about causing damage, you should send it to the police station instead of detaining it privately."
And Gordon knew that Batman actually had more and better ways to deal with those infected with the Joker virus, such as freezing them with Mr. Freeze's technology and unsealing them when the Joker virus can be cracked, or simply using a bat sleeping pod to make them sleep.
Instead of locking them up in a base and letting them feel pain while conscious, this would only make their symptoms worse.
"Why on earth did Batman do this?"
Peter raised his own question, and Gordon, who knew both the Joker and Batman better, guessed this way.
"The Joker couldn't have known out of thin air that his blood was infectious. He must have done some experiments before, and these five people were his experimental subjects."
"But even if he had infected ordinary people, it doesn't prove that he could infect Batman. Batman is special, and the Joker can't accurately judge the success or failure of the infection before he actually takes action."
"If the infection is successful, then he will die, but if the infection fails, he obviously can't accept the fact that he died before defeating Batman."
Peter suddenly realized, and he said: "So those five people are actually the Joker's reserves for himself. Once the plan to infect Batman fails, one of them will also become the Joker."
"That is to say, the Joker knows that there is only one Joker from beginning to end." Poison Ivy immediately reacted and said: "He will eventually be resurrected in a person's body, and the best result is Batman."
"But Batman also chose to keep them, or even let them go." Peter frowned and said: "Neither treatment nor restrictive measures."
Peter suddenly realized that Batman should know the Joker better than him, and it is impossible that he knows nothing about the Joker's plan. So, is this base where the Joker virus infected people are imprisoned one of his countermeasures?
Wait, is Batman thinking the same as himself? He left these Joker virus infected people to revive the Joker, so that the Joker can leave his body and not infect him from the inside?
Peter immediately realized that tonight was his stage, but it was ultimately the stage of Batman and the Joker.
He thought he was a weaver, but he never saw the net that Batman and the Joker had already laid. The turbulent undercurrent of the struggle had already been rushing through the deep riverbed long before he laid the first line.
So the question is, what is Batman and the Joker's plan? When did they start planning and how did they plan?
