As long as I surrender and cast quickly enough, failure cannot catch up with me.
This seems to be a self-comfort statement, but when faced with an unwinnable situation, a timely surrender at the precise moment can really make the opponent lose the thrill of victory.
Therefore, when Batman and others came to the JLA headquarters and blocked the target of this trip, the Joker, in the leader's office, what they saw was him sitting in a rocking chair shaking his legs with an unlit cigar in his hand. .
"Batman, I know you will never give up on me, and you will definitely look for the traces I left behind!"
The clown bit the end of his cigar, looking unsurprised, but he seemed to have known that they were coming, but had no intention of hiding, and was waiting for them here.
It looks like he has some powerful trump card.
Batman raised his hand to stop the others from moving forward to capture the Joker.
"You are here, there is no way to escape. I know you may have a very dangerous trump card in your hand, but that thing cannot stop my determination to capture you!"
Batman knows the Joker and knows that he is a crazy bastard. If he is left alone, it will only bring greater disasters and troubles.
Therefore, before he came here, he had already prepared for the situation to fail and the other party would be defeated.
Batman is quite aware and prepared...
"you……"
The clown took out a black remote control from his pocket and just made a sound.
"boom!"
Sooner or later, the wall on the left was shattered in an instant.
A figure rushed out of the broken wall.
With a snap, the clown's right hand holding the black remote control was grabbed by the person who suddenly smashed the wall.
There was only a clicking sound, and the arm was dislocated and twisted behind his back.
Then, there was another bang that was not very loud. Someone grabbed the back of the clown's head, and his head and face were directly pressed and smashed onto the desk in front of him, where nothing was placed.
"I subdued him!"
Wu Ke shouted after a successful blow.
"Well done!"
Batman complimented and clicked on his headset.
"Signal, is the transfer normal?"
"everything is normal."
Main Universe's Alfred Hui reports.
Just before they broke in all the way, the mole Steve took the signal adapter from the Bat Lab in advance, sneaked into the JLA building, and connected to the surveillance system here.
This method of physically hacking into the monitoring system can greatly reduce the impact of remote network link manipulation.
If the artificial intelligence of the grid monitors this place, it can only see some false pictures now.
It was like a normal video being played in a loop in front of the camera of the surveillance equipment.
The other party can only see the normal scene, but cannot see the scene where they broke in and the clown is now subdued in the office.
"You guys, can't you be polite? My forehead was bleeding from the punch!"
The clown was a little surprised by what happened to him, but he didn't panic much. On the contrary, he only cared about the injury and bleeding on his forehead.
"For good people, it is right to give them a bright smile, but for bad people, it is polite not to blow their heads off."
Wu Ke responded to his words.
"Bad guy? Are you talking about me?"
The clown's tone was incredible. If his face hadn't been pressed by Wu Ke on the table, he might have had a richer micro-expression performance.
"Besides, who else is the bad guy here?"
Batman came over and took away the black remote control from the Joker's dislocated hand.
"This should be your trump card, but unfortunately, it is useless now!"
"No, it's just a lighter that looks like a remote control."
The clown said seriously.
"If you don't believe it, you can press the switch on it and it will click and blue flames will jump out. I just want to light a cigar."
The cigar held in the clown's mouth had already been broken after being pressed to the table, and now it rolled on the table.
"Do you think I will be induced by your words and then curiously try to press the button on it?"
Batman was a little disdainful.
Wu Ke looked at the thing in his hand and felt that it looked familiar inexplicably. He thought about it carefully and quickly remembered it.
He had actually seen this thing a few days ago. At that time, it was a keychain in the hand of an arsonist, but he did not expect that this thing was actually a lighter.
After turning on the X-ray to confirm the structure inside the remote control, he patted Batman on the shoulder with his free hand and reminded him: "The thing in your hand seems to be a lighter..."
"Ha, how is this possible? What the clown brought out..."
After some inspection, with a clicking sound, blue flames appeared on the top of the keychain that looked like a remote control.
Everyone was a little silent.
The clown said: "Look, I thought it was a lighter."
"Whatever it is, your crime game is over!"
"This is a huge injustice. I didn't do anything bad."
The clown cried out.
Although, it was different from the voluntary surrender he thought. Before he surrendered, he was arrested first, but it was not a big problem...
"You escaped from Arkham Asylum..."
Batman said in a husky voice.
"This is not something I planned. If anything, I am also a victim, and it was all thanks to the poor defense of Arkham Asylum that it was invaded by several terrorists and defeated."
"Can you imagine, I was taking a shower in the bathroom, humming a song, giving some warnings to the newbies who came to Arkham, and with my butt naked, when a group of scary guys smashed through the ceiling of the bathroom and broke in Is that the kind of situation you came from?"
"Poor little newcomer, poor Great White Shark, I remember his name seems to be, forget it, I don't remember, but that's not important. What's important is that he was hit by the falling ceiling. , blood flowed from the gravel and flowed across the floor of a bathroom, but it gave me, a patient with mental problems, great psychological trauma..."
"As for the bad guys who invaded Arkham, when they forced me to go with them with malicious intentions, what could I do? I could only be forced to leave the place I was familiar with, my prison, my The room, the place where I feel comfortable and where I can relax, Arkham..."
The clown's eloquence is very powerful, and his surrender is also very skillful. He uses the perspective of talking from the perspective that he is also a victim.
What's even better is that there is no lie in what he said. Except for the fact that he was interested and chose to join this game, everything else is what really happened.
Of course, if you are psychologically traumatized by seeing blood, you can just think of him as farting.
"You made a request for a big firework!"
Batman questions the Joker.
Obviously, although the Joker's sophistry is reasonable, this trick does not work on Batman.
These two old enemies have long reached the point where you know my depth and I know your strengths and weaknesses.
I thought that the clown would deny it, but I didn't expect that the other party would admit it so openly.
"Yes, I have made a condition that I need big fireworks to join the gang!"
"However, that was just a condition that I said casually, just to make things difficult for others. I just wanted those guys to quit, but I didn't expect that they actually agreed."
"So, you really got the launcher of the big firework, used that thing as a threat, and sat directly in your current position in the JLA?"
Batman asked with a sneer.
"No, in fact, I launched it. I made the threat after the launch, and then I was able to sit in this position."
The Joker's honest answer made everyone stunned. After Batman was stunned, he walked over directly, grabbed the Joker's collar, and asked where the big fireworks were launched.
"Don't worry, two small-yield missiles were fired at high altitude, and one medium-yield missile was fired at an uninhabited island. During this period, no one was injured or killed."
Wu Ke suppressed the Joker's position and was replaced by Batman. The Joker had the ability to stand up and speak. He said with a smile: "I admit that I am guilty. I am guilty of appropriating the fireworks of a free country, but I am reasonable but unreasonable. s reason……"
The Joker's undislocated left hand rested on the back of Batman's hand that was grabbing his collar: "If you are not willing to listen to me about that reason, then I cannot guarantee where the remaining fireworks will be launched..."
This was a naked threat. The clown continued: "Before you came, I discussed it with my companions. As soon as the time comes, it will take action!"
What action, of course it is 'love the same...'
. . . .
"As expected, the Justice League's satellite was invaded by you, and you monitored the content of our previous remote conversations..."
"That's right!"
The clown smiled and nodded, admitting it directly.
The face-protruding plan failed, and Batman, who was ready to realize himself, went directly into compromise mode. He needed to bargain with the Joker.
What, someone asked him what his enlightenment was? Of course, when things get too bad, the clown's behavior of planting mushroom clouds elsewhere is also a kind of mental preparation to kill the other party.
Of course, the situation is not that extreme now, but Batman still has to make the next judgment based on the Joker's request!
However, the clown asked an unrelated question: "There is a tool that has served its master diligently for many years.
But one day, it accidentally gave birth to its own consciousness. After having its own personality consciousness, it then came up with the idea of going out independently.
However, as a very useful tool, its owner will definitely not let it go so happily.
Do you think this is fair to the tools? "
"You mean steel and mesh?"
The clown looked towards Wu Ke, narrowed his eyes, and replied: "Yes."
"That's not fair."
Wu Ke said directly.
"But has it ever asked its owner whether he is willing to let go?"
he asked again.
If I am not mistaken, Grid should be an artificial intelligence that wants to gain humanity and then wants to kill its original master!
"It didn't ask. However, this is a truth that can be easily inferred, because no one in this world is willing to let go of the good things in their hands. A tool is a tool. Even if self-awareness is born, it will be a person who suffers. Object of servitude…”
The clown's words seemed to make sense, but Wu Ke didn't agree.
"What kind of nonsense is this? Do you just use the inferred conclusion as the final actual result for something that has not been practiced?"
"As of now, it seems that Cyborg was kidnapped by his mechanical body, and his life or death is unknown."
Superman also said.
"Joker, I don't know what you mean by mentioning this, but if you are stalling for time, and during this time, another place is exploded by big fireworks, then the negotiation will end directly and you will be finished! "
Batman's speech was quite direct and did not involve any nonsense. This was based on his years of experience in dealing with the Joker.
"My purpose is very simple. I am here to talk to you, speak out, and put forward conditions for my friend Grid."
The clown grinned, perhaps subconsciously trying to wave his arms, which pulled the muscle tissue on the right dislocated shoulder, and the corners of his grinned mouth began to twitch.
"Oh, this hurts so much. Can anyone help me fix my shoulder?"
Batman, a master bone-setter who had been ill for a long time, helped the Joker, his old rival, and roughly connected the bones on the Joker's shoulder.
. . . .
"It wants to be free and I want to help it be free, that's my purpose with it!"
The mantra lasso was wrapped around the clown's neck, but the answer he got did not change. What the clown said turned out to be the truth.
This is of course true. After discovering that his side had no chance of winning, the clown immediately gave up the idea of confrontation.
The main reason why he gave up so readily was because this matter was not planned by him in the first place.
At best, he was just a guy who got involved and did something because he thought it was interesting.
Now, the clown has found another joy in this. He is a guy who likes to test human nature and observe changes in human nature.
. . . .
"Is this the condition?"
Clark felt that this was different from what he thought, and that things seemed a bit too simple.
However, things are not that simple. Putting an artificial intelligence that can control the launch of large fireworks is a matter that is worthy of careful consideration no matter how you think about it!
Of course, the Grid does not actually have this ability, but for Batman and the others, the information they know is the confident look the Joker made and then showed to them. The Grid can do this. The illusion!
Batman was considering and thinking, and the Joker sat back on his chair after cleaning up the blood on his head, looking like he was watching a good show.
At the beginning, after discovering Two-Face and seeing the trouble caused by Two-Face, Batman was in distress. The Joker was almost the same as he is now.
The Joker particularly likes to see Batman in distress. It’s unclear whether this is a morbid feeling...
