clown!
Both Batman and Russell were shocked when they heard the malicious and arrogant voice.
Batman stood up, walked out of the Batmobile, and looked in the direction of the sound.
It seems that the strange transaction that occurred today was the bait thrown by the other party. The purpose was to get Gordon to notify him, and Gordon and other policemen would then become his new bait...
Because the person who reported the crime was unknown and the source of the reporter's phone call could not be traced, in the face of such a strange situation, even when Gordon sent people to investigate, he still left information for Batman out of caution.
Then, when Gordon was sure that it was not a trap, and rushed in with the intention of rescuing those poor people, the trap that had been buried for a long time finally emerged, and Gordon and the other policemen were slowly trapped in it. In this way, A trap is formed for Batman...
"Oh? Don't you like it?" The clown's voice sounded again. Batman's eyes turned cold and he clenched his fists tightly.
"Ah, you know, there are many supporting characters in this scene. Since you, the protagonist, don't appear, there is no point in their existence!"
"Come on, make a sound, let our beloved Batman listen, and let everyone know that the people who died and are about to die died because of him!"
The Joker's voice was like a pair of hands in the abyss, reaching out from the abyss full of evil, gently tugging at the fragile nerves of all the hostages, directing all the hostages' fears and causes of death to Batman.
You didn’t die because I wanted to kill you! But because Batman didn't show up, that's why I want to kill you! Blame it on Batman!
"boom!"
With the sound of a gunshot, the scene fell silent, and an image of the death of a man whose face he couldn't see clearly flashed through Batman's mind.
Damn it! The other party is a madman!
"Quack!!" Weird laughter sounded, and the clown continued to torture the fragile nerves of all the hostages.
"Look at this guy, how wonderful his death is!!"
"Before Batman appears, who will I be lucky enough to draw next? Batman, can you tell me?"
As if interacting with the audience, the Joker loudly asked Batman who was unknown where he was.
Most of the injured hostages, as well as the police officers who surrendered after being threatened by the clown, couldn't help but shout in their hearts after hearing the clown's words.
Batman, come out quickly, I don't want to die!
"boom!"
Another crisp gunshot made the hearts of all the hostages jump violently, and the roaring voices in their hearts turned into wails spewing out of their mouths under the great fear.
"Batman! Please come out quickly! I don't want to die!"
"I don't want to die!"
"Come out quickly!"
"Get the fuck out of here! Otherwise I won't let you go!"
The policemen and criminals were roaring with all their strength at this moment, expecting the figure guarding Gotham to appear and replace or prevent their death.
With a gun pointed at his head, Gordon looked at the faces in front of him and sighed.
Under the fear, these people's emotions have obviously been led away from bravery and kindness by the clown, and they direct their anger and hatred towards those who should not bear it.
If the other party didn't have hostages, he should have fought to death...
Looking at the dark night, Gordon sighed again, but at this moment, Gordon noticed a young policeman next to him, his head lowered and shaking slightly, but holding his hands tightly.
Gordon's face darkened and he whispered: "Don't be afraid, kid, it's okay...".
"Officer Gordon..." The young man raised his head. To Gordon's surprise, there was no look of fear on the other man's face. Instead, he was full of anger and determination!
With a change of expression, Gordon looked at the other person's clasped hands and saw that the other person's thumb picked up a pull tab...
"Pah!" Gordon held the opponent's hands tightly and growled: "What do you want to do!".
The young policeman said with angry eyes: "These scum, have they forgotten how much Batman has done for this city? How dare they let Batman trade his life for theirs!"
Gordon's eyes were complicated and he said: "Child, human life is not a commodity and cannot be compared based on value."
The young policeman was startled and his tightly held palms relaxed.
"Say what you say! Be quiet!" With an impatient voice, Gordon was kicked.
When the angry young policeman was about to raise his head, Gordon shook his hand forcefully and shook his head.
As long as the young policeman dares to raise his head, he will be the next to die.
And such young people full of passion and righteousness are rare in the police station.
The hostages' cries of fear turned into curses and cries as gunfire rang out again.
But Batman, who had already decided to walk out before he remembered the gunfire, looked coldly at Russell standing in front of him and said, "What do you want to do?".
"Stop you from dying." Russell said lightly.
"Need not……"
Russell said in a cold tone: "Even if you die, they still can't live. The clown will not let them go.".
Now that Batman is gone, what use are these hostages? If Batman ignores them, these hostages will still die, but the next day, the deaths of these people will be pushed onto Batman by the Joker, like a basin of foul-smelling dirty water, and the name of Batman will be ruined. The police have lost their image in the hearts of Gotham citizens.
This was originally a trap for Batman.
Batman was silent. He knew Russell was right, but he couldn't do it just to watch the hostages die one by one.
"Is this what you said when you stopped me?"
"No, I want to do it with you." With a faint smile, Russell said: "It can't be done by one person, but it can be done by two people."
Neither he nor Batman could safely rescue all the hostages if they acted alone, but if it was just two people, it would not be possible.
Batman looked at Russell deeply, nodded and said, "Okay.".
Compared with his own method, this method will be much safer. As for whether Russell can be trusted...
If the other party wanted to do something to him, he would have done it long ago. After catching him, he would not let him go. Now he has to take the initiative to wade into this muddy water. Therefore, judging from the current situation, he thinks Russell is still More believable.
"Then this..."
Seeing that Batman agreed, Russell quickly stated his method.
After listening to Russell's words and adding two points, Batman calmly walked out of the darkness amidst the clown's malicious laughter and under everyone's gaze.
