"Okay, Miss Zatanna, you should go and take a rest." Victor stepped forward, pushed up his glasses, waved to the students who were still debugging the equipment, and said, "You should go back."
If there are free student dormitories, send this lady to have a rest, she can't hold on any longer."
After speaking, Victor looked at Batman again and said, "Do you still remember the second piece of news I told you? The problem of rainwater and the problem of drinking water sources are not the same."
"The vast majority of Gotham's drinking water sources come from groundwater. The city's more than 50 water purification plants and the seven largest water companies are basically useless. Gotham's drinking water conditions are not much different from those in the Middle Ages."
"I have detected more than 70 hallucinogenic ingredients in groundwater sources. The content is not large, but the ratio is precise. Someone should have poisoned them artificially."
Victor sighed and said: "These hallucinogenic ingredients are probably the main reason why the citizens are going crazy, but according to the clues Jason brought, the poison in the water source may have a chronic effect."
"Someone has been poisoning Gotham's water source for a long time. This toxin may only cause a mild hallucinogenic reaction at first. In a city like Gotham, being a little trance-like is not a big deal. Many people may not know it at all.
Even if I go to the hospital, I won’t go to a psychiatric examination.”
"However, toxins continue to accumulate in the human body and cannot be metabolized. One day, when it reaches a certain critical value, it will be triggered and stimulated by the mysterious substances in the rain, causing citizens to go crazy."
"At the same time, because many plants in Gotham also rely on the underground water system, they also have crazy reactions... but I don't know much about botany."
"You mean, someone put a chronic poison into Gotham's groundwater, and the magical reaction between Gotham's rainwater and metal triggered the toxicity, causing the citizens to go crazy?" Batman summed it up in the most concise language,
And Victor nodded.
Victor put the information in his hand back on the experimental table, and then said: "In other words, this thing is bound to happen. If it doesn't break out today, it will happen tomorrow. As for so many broccoli, and
I don’t know what’s going on with the messy vines.”
But Batman knows very well that the consciousness of all the plants in the Green of All Things is aggregation. The plants going crazy due to poisoning will definitely attract the attention of the Green of All Things. Only when the Law of All Things comes here and is discovered by Constantine will there be
The city was filled with broccoli.
Just as he was thinking of this, Batman's communicator suddenly rang. He picked up the communicator and said: "...Lex? What? Have you found the source of the toxin's spread? Okay, I understand, I'll go there right now."
."
After hanging up the communication, Batman looked at Victor and said: "Lex conducted broad-spectrum sampling and found the source of the poisoning through calculation and analysis. I will go over first and take a look at his analysis report. At the same time, contact
Gordon, prepare to arrest."
"Go ahead." Victor glanced at Batman and said, "I have provided the police station with a batch of frozen weapons that can handle arrests in various situations. In addition, Cobot told me that he also noticed
No, so I have deployed manpower in the East District, and I will tell him to keep an eye on him."
After Batman left, Victor looked at his back and shook his head, showed another smile, and then said: "Your treatment has really achieved remarkable results. If it had been done before, he would not have shown up."
Soon, Batman came to the laboratory on the other side of the experimental building. Lex was sorting out a lot of experimental information. There was a map of Gotham City hanging on the wall, with many locations marked on it.
Seeing Batman and Clark coming hand in hand, Lex snorted and showed a joking smile, but soon he realized that now was not the time for ridicule. He walked directly to the map, pointed at it and said : "The leader of Copper's kid gang took samples at more than 160 locations in Gotham, and I analyzed the concentration of the samples."
"The conclusion is that the concentration spreads in a circular step-like manner, with higher east and lower west, higher south and lower north. In other words, the source of toxin diffusion is located in the east or south."
"After that, a second detailed sampling was conducted." Lex pointed to the location on the map and said: "The 120 locations in the East District were connected into a total of 60 lines. Repeated sampling was carried out in the areas with the most dense focus, and the samples were collected in a circular pattern. The center point was pushed forward, and a location with the highest probability was finally determined.”
Batman narrowed his eyes. He first looked at Lex. Lex was not in good condition. He had fallen into the cryogenic liquid storage device and was infected with the Joker virus.
However, perhaps because he was not from Gotham, the Joker virus gradually subsided. However, the cryogenic liquid developed by Victor replaced the blood in his body. Although it gave him the ability to freeze people, It also causes his skin to glow blue under the light.
Despite this, the dark circles on his face were still very obvious. Batman knew that Lex had no base in Gotham, so there was no supercomputer. All conclusions were calculated by his hands.
Batman directly took out the communicator, and then said to the other end: "Hello? Gordon? Live in the edge of hell at No. 3 Green Street Alley, capture the poisoner alive."
Lex's eyes widened and he looked at Batman and said: "Aren't you going to repeat the calculation again? Now shouldn't you go back to your Batcave, turn on your advanced supercomputer, and run all the data again? Were you surprised at the accuracy of my conclusion afterwards?"
"He believes your conclusion, and you're still angry?" Clark leaned back and looked at Lex with some confusion and said, "Although I don't quite understand how you determined the position, your data looks like It’s quite reliable. It’s normal for us to use it directly, right?”
Lex pursed his lips, showing an expression as if he was eating a fly, but then Clark looked at Batman and said: "However, what he said makes sense, and we should verify it. What if we catch the wrong person? A good man was wronged?”
"Why do you think that in Gotham, the wrong person will be arrested?" Batman asked, Clark choked, and then said: "Well, although judging from the security situation here, the probability of arresting the wrong person is indeed relatively low. But you can’t say it’s not true, right?”
Batman's blue eyes shimmered, and he said: "For some reason, my soul strength has reached its peak, and the same goes for my brain power. At the same time he said the conclusion, I had completed all the calculations,
The results were spot on.”
Just as Lex was about to retort, Batman looked at him and said, "The accuracy of your data shocked me."
Lex was choked again instantly. He tilted his head and looked to the side, but then he saw Batman staring at the map of Gotham, his face darkened, and then he said: "This poisoner is not the key
, there must be someone behind him, this matter is not that simple."
"How do you know?" Lex walked up to Batman, stood side by side with him, and then asked. Lex thought for a moment and then said, "Don't you know how many madmen there are in Gotham? Maybe,
Someone suddenly wants to destroy Gotham..."
"Indeed, there are not many people who can accurately see that Gotham's water source and rainwater are deadly. Moreover, they want to spread the toxin so widely in a short period of time, and then let it explode at the right time.
, and it’s not something ordinary people can do.”
"I'm going to Green Street." Batman turned and left the laboratory. Before leaving, he turned back and said, "Clark, take Lex to the Batcave."
"I have unlocked the use of all surveillance equipment. Lex, you must keep an eye on all changes in Gotham City at all times. Clark guard the Batcave and don't let anyone in."
After saying that, Batman disappeared into the corridor. His back had a completely different iron-blooded and cold temperament from before. Lex and Clark looked at each other, with shocked expressions on their faces.
I can't contain myself at all.
Lex pursed his lips and said, "You'd better tell me carefully what happened during this period. Damn it, I've been busy with publishing papers recently. Why did it suddenly..."
Batman left the experimental building. He originally wanted to contact Alfred and ask him to send a helicopter. Unexpectedly, the figure of the Bat fighter appeared on the skyline. After landing on the roof of the building, Hal came from inside
Walked out.
He looked at Batman and said: "Your butler contacted me and said that you lacked a professional fighter pilot. I happened to be free, so I came over. I will get three times the salary during the holidays. You're welcome."
Batman took the lead on the Batfighter, followed by Hal. As soon as the hatch fell, Batman turned his head, looked at Hal next to him and said, "You have super powers, right?"
Hal was a little confused by the question, but he nodded and said, "Green light energy should be considered a super power, right?"
"I also have super powers, do you know what they are?"
"What is it?"
"I'm super rich."
Batman leaned back, leaned his back on the chair, turned his head back, looked forward and said: "Three hundred times the salary, and... thank you."
Hal shook his hand, and with a "swish" sound, the Bat fighter flew over the layers of huge broccoli flowers, and within a few minutes, it landed on the roof of another building.
The black figure jumped down, and the light of the police lights illuminated his cloak in a brilliant neon color. Gordon had just put away the gun in his hand, and when he turned his head, he saw Batman appearing in the shadows.
He was just about to speak, but saw Batman walking out of the shadows. Gordon was stunned for a moment, but finally said: "The suspect is in the house in front. To ensure that there is no fierce conflict, which will lead to personnel
Casualties, we are formulating an assault plan..."
"No need, I'll go in alone, I already have some assumptions." Batman shook his head, and under Gordon's gaze, followed the shadow and climbed into the wall of the alley.
Walking through the wet yard full of rain, he opened a rusty door and saw a figure sitting in the dark room. Batman stood in front of the door and looked at him, and then said:
"Professor Klein, long time no see."
Sitting at the dining table in the house is none other than Jonathan Crane, the future Scarecrow, a world-renowned psychologist and psychiatrist, a well-known chemist, and a former psychology professor at Gotham University.
Jonathan was pouring water for himself. His expression was very calm, as if he hadn't seen Batman. He drank a sip of water from the water glass, and then said: "It seems that Schiller's treatment of you was very successful, otherwise, you would also
Won't give me a chance to speak."
"But I still think that I am no worse than him. Your situation is also rare in the psychology world. If you leave it to me, I will achieve results no less than his." Jonathan lowered his head and said.
"I came here alone to ask you a question." Batman's deep voice echoed in the room. He said, "You are also a world-renowned psychologist. Perhaps, you are the only one who can answer my question."
Jonathan turned his head and looked at Batman. His figure was against the light, so it looked darker. Batman said: "Why would a person with no wounds on his body, no brain injury, and a completely healthy state?"
Will he fall into a coma?"
Jonathan's hand shook, and the water in the cup spilled out, and his fingertips trembled slightly.
Then, he closed his eyes, leaned back on the chair, sighed, raised his head, looked at the ceiling and said:
