Chapter 85: The Dragnet of Absolute Caution (Please Read)

"Here it comes."

Chen Tao thought silently.

His mood became increasingly indifferent, as peaceful as the water dripping from a gargoyle.

It's not that he didn't notice the change in his emotions, but surprisingly...

He didn't reject these.

He reviewed in his heart the last time he had kidnapped... No, it was a protective kidnapping... Bah, bah, bah, the list of people he had forcibly taken away for protection.

Gotham City Public Councillor... City Council Spokesperson... Planning Committee Chairman...

Of course, there was Jim Gordon. The second-in-command of the police station, Sheriff Harvey Bullock, was not spared. Several other important backbones of the police station who could be used as threats were also taken away together.

All the people were replaced by puppets transformed by the Clayface Man, and the Clayface Man was almost drained dry.

In order to achieve this feat, in addition to the key care objects like Jim Gordon, who were completely made up of the body of the Clayface Man, for some less important characters, Chen Tao also chose to use the skeleton robot invented by Lucius.

In this way, the Clayface only needs to cover part of his body on the surface of this robot to create a lifelike, jumping and running dummy, while greatly reducing his own physical damage.

This invention greatly increases the efficiency of kidnapping.

Anyone who has the slightest possibility of being kidnapped by Bane will be arrested, and anyone who has a personal relationship with Bruce Wayne, even an 80-year-old grandmother, will be handcuffed at home.

Not only that, even if Bane randomly finds a passerby on the street to kidnap, he is not afraid.

Not to mention that Batman already has surveillance probes all over Gotham, Chen Tao also sent Lincoln March and his Claws to be on standby at any time;

Hundreds of claws controlled by chips are distributed in the city, ready to rescue any hostage in any corner at any time;

And the three major gang alliances composed of Two-Face, Penguin and Ventriloquist, which can completely command the entire Gotham gang, have issued orders to most of the gang members in the city to find suspicious persons a few days ago.

This order spread to all the grassroots gang members in Gotham within three hours, and within eight hours, any ordinary person living in the neighborhood controlled by the gangs knew about it.

Driven by such a huge bonus, are you still afraid of not being able to find someone?

You kidnap people, there must be a place to store hostages, right?

An unfinished building with no one?

Coincidentally, the homeless people all know that place.

Bridge hole? Overpass?

There are only a few places where people can stand, who doesn't know?

You rent a house?

The landlord's old lady was the first to report it.

The US government cannot be so efficient, but the gangs can be.

Because this is a city of gangs, the gangs are deeply rooted in every aspect of people. Most of the residents of Gotham have gang backgrounds, and the sons and fathers of many families are old gangsters from their ancestors.

Locard's material exchange law tells us that any crime cannot be without traces, let alone Bane's men, a group of outsiders who lack understanding of this city.

Even with the help of the prisoners in Blackgate, their existence would be as dazzling as fireflies in the dark night in the eyes of the Black Flag of Gotham.

As long as they place these kidnapped hostages outside Blackgate, they will be recognized in minutes.

Do you know what the king of the city means?

Do you know what it means to be targeted by the whole city?

What does it mean to be surrounded by enemies and what does it mean to be an ocean?

To hide something under this level of surveillance, unless it was hidden a few years ago, such as the nuclear bomb that was bought a few years ago and may be in the hands of Bane...

And it is impossible to hide it on the spot.

What? You said to place the hostages in Blackgate, which is completely controlled by Bane?

So many claws are there for nothing?

As long as Bane is not in the prison in person, who can stop them?

Under such insane and outrageous mass compulsory protection and comprehensive surveillance, Chen Tao didn't believe that he could still face the passive situation of being kidnapped by his close friends or innocent people and being unable to fight back like the saintly protagonists in third-rate trash novels.

And the development of the facts was indeed as Chen Tao expected.

"I kidnapped Jim Gordon, and he is now being held by my men in Blackgate Prison..."

"The Clayface is pretending to be him. You can try to call him."

"I will call you and you will track this phone..."

"Tear up the hostage quickly, hurry up, don't talk nonsense."

Bane made a call and hung up a few minutes later.

His face under the half-broken hood was expressionless.

He was silent for a while, and then said:

"I kidnapped Harvey Bullock..."

Chen Tao interrupted him directly: "The Clayface is pretending to be him."

The old process, call, confirm, hang up.

"I kidnapped Mayor Carlo..."

"The Clayface is fake..."

"Public Councillor..."

"Clayface..."

"I kidnapped..."

Bane called out more than a dozen names in a row, only to get the same repetition as Batman:

"Clayface pretending to be him."

In the end, Bane was too lazy to call to confirm. He just kept calling out names and got the answer he had expected.

He stopped calling out those futile names.

Chen Tao saw his fists tightening again and again, and veins spread from his neck to his forehead.

"Impossible. Clayface can't separate himself into so many people at the same time. I've studied his nature. I kidnapped dozens of people at the same time. They can't all... How did you do it?"

Because we have Doraemon.

Of course, Chen Tao wouldn't tell Bane this.

"You can guess for yourself."

Bane was silent.

But even though his plan seemed to have failed completely, Chen Tao didn't let down his guard at all.

He was waiting, waiting for Bane to pull out another trump card...

Will the nuclear bomb that was bought really be in his hands?

"I still have the last two kidnapping targets."

"?"

Chen Tao was stunned for a moment.

Isn't it a nuclear bomb?

"The two final kidnapping targets."

"Stop talking, the clay-faced man is fake..."

"You may have to take another look at this."

Chen Tao's face became slightly serious.

In the few seconds that Bane spoke, he had repeatedly reviewed all the points of his actions in his mind, but there was no new discovery for the time being.

Bane seemed to have a plan in mind, and things were a little out of his control...

This is normal. Even if he made more preparations, he is not an omniscient and omnipotent god after all.

But...

No matter what trump card Bane has, he has been fully prepared to ensure that he can deal with it.

So.

What is it? Bane?

Do you have any trump cards that I haven't expected?

Under such a dense siege, what kind of struggle can you make?

The trump card has been revealed...

Chen Tao's eyes widened.

There is still one chapter at 12 o'clock. I will keep reading until the last moment tomorrow. The success or failure of Sanjiang depends on this!
