It's 3 o'clock in the morning, and this Batman city is brightly lit.
Chen Tao just received a communication from the Riddler.
Our Mr. Nygma obediently shut himself back into the transparent cell, and also used wall plaster to patch up the hole he dug with an iron spoon.
The Riddler is one of the smartest people in the world. He knows everything. So it makes sense that he can patch up walls, right?
Both clowns have been captured alive.
Now only nuclear bombs are left, probably.
Chen Tao thought silently.
He was sitting on the floor of Arkham Asylum recuperating his energy, next to Bane who fell to the ground and the Joker who was severely injured after using Titan Venom.
Two muscular men were stacked naked together. The clown's body was leaking a little because there was no venom, and then he was pressed under him by Bane.
Defeating the Joker didn't take much effort from him, and Bane seemed to be finished.
But Chen Tao is still seizing every moment to rest as much as possible.
Because Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne lost Bane's control, they stood there together stupidly, like a pair of parents waiting for their children to come home from kindergarten.
"80% of the missiles have been destroyed!"
Lucius's voice shouted over the communication: "84%!"
He spoke very quickly: "86%, Batman, if all the missiles are not destroyed before they fly out of the atmosphere..."
"92%!"
He said loudly: "Well done, Poison Ivy!"
"98%!"
Chen Tao silently listened to his increasingly louder voice, which rushed out of the headset and beat with Lucius's heart.
Then, finally!
"100%!"
Chen Tao heard Lucius say excitedly: "We won!"
He sat in his seat as if exhausted, breathing loudly.
"I can't believe we did it. We planned it for so long," Lucius said. "With so many pre-prepared missiles, even the most advanced anti-missile interception system needs to rely on luck to stop them all."
Ingredients..."
He exclaimed in amazement, then praised Poison Ivy, and then he heard Batman say to him:
"Lucius, you have used up all the interceptor missiles, right?"
Lucius was startled for a moment.
"Yes," he said: "But we intercepted all the missiles, and the worst-case scenario you mentioned before did not happen."
Chen Tao sighed.
"In Gotham. If there's a worst-case scenario, it's bound to happen."
Lucius heard him make a conclusion first, and then continued: "Check the images detected by the satellite, Lucius."
He heard the other party say: "Did you see the nuclear flash of the nuclear bomb explosion up there?"
Lucius felt a sudden change in his heart.
He threw himself on the satellite console and saw that the satellite image was completely empty. He couldn't help but be startled.
He was so ecstatic just now that he ignored an obvious fact:
Even if the interceptor missile successfully intercepted the nuclear weapon, they should still be able to hear the sound at such a close distance.
And it’s silent so far, which means...
"That nuclear bomb was not among the missiles we intercepted!"
Lucius groaned: "God!"
"What's going on?"
"This means the worst has happened." Chen Tao sighed heavily.
"The clown was fooled. Someone used him to distract us and use him to force out our trump cards."
He said:
"And we cannot ignore the possibility that nuclear warheads may actually be in these missiles, so we must intercept them all with the interceptor missiles we have prepared."
"And once all our interceptor missiles are used up..."
"The person behind the scenes can launch a real nuclear bomb with ease!"
Lucius's voice was trembling: "But this is unreasonable. Who can do this? Who can use the clown to play with him?"
"Who could plan such a meticulous plan? How could he be sure that everything would develop as he expected? How could he hide his existence from us——"
"Obviously." Chen Tao answered him: "A person who has been in front of us from the beginning."
Chen Tao stared closely at Bain, who was lying on the clown in front of him.
The other party seemed to be still immersed in the effects of laughing gas, and his smile stretched from the corners of his mouth to the roots of his ears. He smiled humorously, innocently and kindly.
"A man who appears to have been knocked out by a clown."
He continued:
"In this world, the more complex the plan, the greater the benefits, but the easier it is to fail.
This is because there are too many variables in complex plans, and the person planning the plan has poor control over the entire plan, so it often fails to succeed."
"But if you look at it from another angle...if someone can completely control every corner of a complex plan, firmly grasp the most critical link in the entire plan, fully control the actions of a scapegoat, and then stand at the last moment
Come out and harvest everything——"
"Theoretically speaking, a super complex plan will be easier to achieve its goal than a simple and crude push."
Lucius said: "I think I understand what you mean...
Chen Tao adjusted Lucius's voice to speakerphone.
"But who is this person? Who is this person who controls everything behind the scenes?"
"Yeah. I'm also very curious." Chen Tao stared at Bain lying on the ground: "Who could this person be?"
There was dead silence.
The air was silent, breathing together with Chen Tao. Then, the world was stripped of its bizarre veil.
Huh——
"It's me."
The twisted smile on Bain's face suddenly disappeared.
He got up from the ground expressionlessly, and his rough skin rubbed against the floor, making a low rustling sound.
"This is your real method of weakening me, right?"
Chen Tao looked at him without surprise: "The poison that could destroy my body just now was just a cover, right?"
"Of course, my bat."
Bain answered him: "Always so sharp."
He said: "I have studied your nanobody, which is a body made of unknown high technology. It is obviously beyond the scope of human beings."
"Unfortunately, I did hope to create such a cup of poison...to create such a cup for you."
He emphasized the word "you".
"But unfortunately, I really don't have any attainments in micro-engineering."
He said sincerely: "If there is a next time, I will definitely learn it."
"But now."
Bain suppressed the excitement and excitement in his heart. His tone was calm and steady, and he tried his best to maintain no emotional fluctuations in his tone.
He didn't want to show his ugly appearance in front of Batman at all when his conspiracy was successful. He didn't want to show those murderous, high-pitched, high-pitched, yet mellow hums in front of Batman at all.
"You have to stop the real nuclear bomb. You are the only one who can do it."
Bain said: "You have to attack him directly."
"Ah, I know." Chen Tao answered him in a low voice.
He muttered: "I have known for a long time that things will always develop like this. There will always be the worst case scenario."
"It's always like this."
I really can’t write anymore, my mind is blank. Tomorrow is Saturday, more updates!
