Chapter 441: Cold Wind Prologue (Part 2)

Soon, the three of them started to act. It turned out that the Joker was able to gain an advantage in the early stage only because he caught them off guard. Even Bruce did not expect that his nemesis would find this place, so at the beginning, they were chased by the agents and were a little embarrassed.

But this situation only lasted for a very short period of time. Even if the Joker had a monitoring device like a cheat, it was still difficult to resist the combination of Bruce, Lex and Clark.

Bruce was both offensive and defensive, Lex was invincible, and Clark was invulnerable. Although they were all youth versions who had not fully grown up, when these three people cooperated, even if ordinary agents had powerful weapons in their hands, it was difficult to deal with them.

Soon, the agents chasing behind them were fooled by them using the delay of monitoring and communication, and most of them were knocked unconscious.

However, getting rid of the agents' pursuit was not their primary goal. Now they have a common goal, which is to investigate the underground of the manor.

Bruce wanted to deal with the Joker, Clark wanted to find the radiation source that would affect him and possibly Metropolis, and Lex wanted to find the treasure and Schiller's things from underground. Although the three people had different detailed goals, the big goal was the same, which was to go underground first.

But if you want to go underground, you must first find the entrance, which must be on the ground floor, that is, the first floor.

The structure of the first floor of the entire manor is different from the other floors. There is a banquet hall in the middle, and there are two gates on both sides that can shuttle to the central courtyard, but there are also other buildings on both sides, and there are other rooms in these buildings, which are not explored by several people.

The main building of the mayor's mansion is very large, not the kind of private residential manor. If the three of them want to explore it completely, it will probably take a whole day if they stay together, so for efficiency, the three of them decided to act separately.

This is also based on reason. Most of the agents were dealt with by them on other floors. Some ordinary agents left on the first floor are doing their own jobs. They did not receive special orders to deal with anyone, but just patrolled at their respective posts.

Bruce and Lex both have official identities, and they can get over if they are hit. Clark is even better. He is very fast and the agents may not be able to see him, so it is not too dangerous even if they act separately.

The only problem is that Bruce and Lex cannot completely trust each other. When making this decision, Bruce first said: "You must promise me that if you find the entrance first, you must notify us instead of going down alone."

"Even if I promise, will you believe it? I don't believe you either."

Lex also stared at his face and said that when two extreme skeptics meet, they don't trust any of each other's words and deeds.

"Please! Is this the time to talk about this?"

"There may be a huge radiation source underground in the largest building in Metropolis! Once it is completely leaked, the whole city will be in danger!" Clark said helplessly.

Before the two of them could say anything, Clark reached out his hand to stop them, and then said, "Don't forget, that lunatic is still watching us. If we quarrel here, he will definitely laugh very happily!"

Clark's original intention was just to tell the two not to be laughed at by others, not to make friends sad and enemies happy, but it must be said that he has an innate talent in interacting with people, and his words just hit Bruce's heart.

After knowing that the man might be the Joker, Bruce became more vigilant. He is now a little allergic to the words "lunatic" and "laugh". When these two words came out of Clark's hand and mouth, Bruce seemed to hear the crazy laughter ringing in his ears.

He could almost imagine how happy the Joker would be when he saw the quarrel between several people in the monitoring room. As soon as he thought of this, Bruce felt a cramp in the corner of his mouth. He immediately said:

"We can cooperate temporarily and start the action immediately."

After that, he turned and left, as if he didn't want to delay for a second. Lex snorted coldly, looked at his back and said to Clark in a low voice: "There is an amazing darkness behind him. Even if he behaves righteously, don't forget that he is from Gotham..."

"Gotham is full of lunatics."

After the voice fell, he also left, leaving Clark in the same place. Clark scratched his head and shrugged, as if he didn't quite understand the hint in Lex's tone.

In fact, he was not used to this kind of communication between smart people, and didn't want to think about the hints in the words. In the process of communicating with Bruce and Lex, Clark always felt a little stupid.

After separating from the two of them, Clark relaxed a little. He chose a different direction from the two of them and walked along the banquet hall, all the way to the corridor on the east side.

Clark thought that the door to the underground should not be in the corridor, but must be hidden in a room, so he planned to use the exhaustive method to check one room at a time.

He pushed open the door of the first room, which was a very ordinary utility room. No one had opened the door for a long time. When he opened the door, a cloud of dust came over. Clark waved his hand, walked in and checked, but found nothing.

The next few rooms were the same. Clark couldn't help but feel a little lost. Moreover, the dark corridor became quieter and quieter as he walked in. The only thing was the cold light coming from the window at the end.

In an extremely quiet atmosphere, people will involuntarily slow down their thinking speed and strengthen their senses. Just when Clark also had such a change, suddenly, a piercing phone ring rang from a room in front.

Clark walked over with a frown, and after pushing open the door, it was an empty guest room. At this time, the phone on the telephone stand was ringing non-stop. Clark picked up the phone and said to the other end: "Hello..."

"Hello, hello."

After the other end finished speaking, there was silence for a while. Clark asked in confusion: "Hello, who are you? What are you calling for?"

"Are you Clark?"

"Uh, I am, what's wrong?"

"Do you know Lex?"

"Who are you?" Clark asked with some vigilance.

"I am a resident living on the 5th floor and also a participant invited to attend this banquet. Listen, Clark..." The tone of the other end was a little low.

"But at the same time, I am also an undercover CIA agent. I have encountered some troubles and hope you can help me."

When Clark heard the word agent, he frowned. As soon as he refused, the other party said, "I know that you may have friction with other agents, but we are not in the same group."

"I came to Metropolis a long time ago and lurked there. The purpose is to investigate the abnormality of the Luther Group. We suspect that the serial murders that occurred in Metropolis some time ago may be related to the people of the Luther Group."

"Before. Our investigation did not make any progress. Since Lionel Luther is the organizer of this banquet, I came here to track down more clues."

"After a night of investigation, we have grasped the clues of the murderer. He is most likely Lex Luther, the son of Lionel Luther."

"Usually, he appears as an autistic patient to reduce other people's vigilance against him. In fact, he does not suffer from autism. On the contrary, he is a high-IQ criminal. It is a evil genius. "Clark just wanted to open his mouth to refute, and the person on the opposite side continued to say quickly:" I know you don't believe it, but we have already mastered the evidence. If you go to the sealing room of the guest room, you can see Overuroa's body. " "Now, I hope you can go to the washroom and take some tissue fragments in Ore, as evidence, so that you can use it in the future to accuse the murderer of Kind." "How is this?" Clark said in an extremely unbelievable tone: "Why did he kill his father? He also divided him? He was not this kind of person." In his brief contact with Laots, he felt that although this person was very arrogant, he was also regarded as a deputy, and Clark had no knowledge of serial murder because he grew up in a small town. The serial murderer in his impression was the kind of perverted face with fleshy face and green noodles. But Lex is thin and has a childish face. He looks just like a child. His words and actions are basically in line with normal people's logic. He doesn't show any evil or madness. Clark doesn't think he is a serial killer.

Not to mention, the person on the phone actually said that Lex killed his biological father and dismembered him. How could a high school student do such a cruel thing?

"Clark, you have to know that the reason why many murderers are not easy to be arrested is because they have very confusing disguises, and I do this job."

"I said, if you don't believe it, you can go to the scene to see. If the situation is really different from what I said, you don't have to help me, and I can't force you."

The man's tone was very sincere. He said: "When you were fighting with the agent, I heard what you said in the room. You are a hero who is willing to speak for ordinary people. Therefore, I used my limited time to contact you."

"I have found your information. I know that you are just a college student. You have no obligation and responsibility to do such a dangerous job, but Clark... I ask you to help me."

"Of course, if you really think it's too dangerous, you can choose not to go. I won't force a child to go to the battlefield..."

"As far as I know, Lex is not a single person. He must have accomplices. They are likely to find me soon. I don't have much time... Goodbye, Clark."

After hanging up the phone, Clark's face showed a tangled expression.

He and Lex had known each other for a short time, and he knew this himself. Therefore, he could not be sure whether Lex had deceived him because of his good acting skills.

The tone of the man opposite was normal, and what he said made sense. Clark could not help but hesitate. He was thinking, if Lex was really a liar, would more ordinary people be in danger if he was allowed to move around in the manor?

He hesitated for a while, and finally decided to go upstairs. Clark thought that it was okay to take a look as the man said. Even if there was a trap waiting for him there, he should be able to get rid of it.

Thinking of this, he went up the stairs and crossed the corridor to the reception room. The reception room was still in a mess. The cold wind blew into the room from the broken window. In the cold wind, Clark walked to the door of the bathroom, turned the doorknob, and opened the door.

The first thing that was captured by his keen senses was the strong and disgusting smell of blood. Then, a corpse with a chopped arm came into view, and there was a saw thrown on the ground next to it.

Just as Clark covered his mouth and tried to retch, he heard footsteps outside the reception room door.

He turned around and saw Lex coming in... and blood on his trouser legs.
