Chapter 288 Turning over the table and not playing

Although the Joker is now asking the citizens of Gotham to choose to blow up West Mercy Hospital and Blackgate Prison, his approach reminded Roy of the scene in the movie "The Dark Knight."

The Joker in the movie also started this two-choice game, handing over the decision-making power to Gotham citizens and criminals on the ferry, allowing both sides to decide whether to press the button to kill the other.

In the movie, neither the citizens of Gotham nor the criminals on the ferry made a choice, proving to the Joker what the goodness of human nature is.

Will the choice be given to all citizens of Gotham?

Although the clown in this universe adopts a different plan, the essence is the same, using life to test human nature.

The only difference is that in the movie, Gotham citizens and criminals are trapped and die on the cruise ship, unable to leave.

Here, patients and medical staff at West Charity Hospital and criminals at Blackgate Prison have the opportunity to leave early.

Although the time is not very long, only five minutes.

But it was enough for some people to leave.

Of course, this assumes that the Joker does not blockade West Charity Hospital and Blackgate Prison.

"Which one would you choose to blow up?"

"West Charity Hospital or Blackgate Prison?"

Harley also received the text message and asked Roy.

"I don't choose either one."

Roy replied.

"Don't choose?"

Harley continued to ask.

"I'm not interested in this boring game."

Roy said seriously.

"Okay, then I don't choose either."

Harley put the phone back into her jacket pocket, took Roy's right arm, and showed an expression that said I was ready.

Roy looked at Harley suspiciously, unable to understand her intention for a moment.

After seeing his confused expression, Harley immediately said:

"Why don't you go to West Charity Hospital or Blackgate Prison to have a look?"

"We'll go later."

Roy replied.

After replying to Harley, he mobilized the power of the stars in his body and used Flash.

In just an instant, he and Harley disappeared out of thin air and arrived on the rooftop of a building outside the park.

After arriving on the rooftop, he said to Hancock:

"Hancock, send Bruce a message and tell him I'm here."

"Okay, sir!"

Hancock's voice sounded from the vibranium bracelet.

Not long after, Bruce, wearing a Batman suit, used a hook gun to reach the rooftop of the building.

Bruce frowned slightly after seeing Harley next to Roy.

Then, he came straight to Roy and said in a low disguised voice:

"What's your plan?"

"Not yet, where are you?"

Roy asked rhetorically.

The clown's opponent tonight is not him, but Bruce, and he doesn't intend to usurp the show.

"Time is limited, I plan to go to West Charity Hospital to have a look first."

Bruce said quickly.

"I'll take you there."

As soon as he finished speaking, Roy created a star portal to the West Charity Hospital.

"Um!"

Bruce nodded, walked straight into the Star Portal, and arrived at the roof of West Charity Hospital.

Although Roy didn't intend to steal the show, he was also curious about the clown's other arrangements, so he also came to West Charity Hospital.

As soon as you reach the roof of the hospital, you can hear various sounds coming from the hospital building.

The originally quiet West Charity Hospital has now become as busy as a supermarket on Black Friday.

It's just that it's different from the customers who go into shopping malls and go crazy shopping on Black Friday.

Medical staff inside Mercy West Hospital are working to evacuate patients from the hospital building.

A person’s name, a tree’s shadow!

If Gotham citizens were now asked to choose between West Mercy Hospital and Blackgate Prison, the person to blow up was not the Joker, but another super villain or terrorist, it might not cause such a big commotion.

But it's a pity that this was planned by the clown.

Although the clown has not shown up until now, West Charity Hospital and Blackgate Prison have fallen into fear and chaos as he expected.

Roy, who came to the roof of the hospital, used his knowledge and knowledge to sense some of the conditions inside the hospital.

There were many people in the hospital, but he didn't find anyone noteworthy.

The entire hospital is now in chaos, and people are fleeing the hospital as if fleeing.

However, at this moment, a huge explosion was heard in the parking lot and gate of the hospital.

boom!

The hospital door was completely blown up!

The vehicles parked in the parking lot exploded one after another like firecrackers!

Obviously, the explosions at the hospital gate and parking lot were arranged by the clown.

As for the reason, you know it without even thinking about it.

Although there are many ways to leave the hospital besides the hospital gate and parking lot.

But after the place was bombed, only a handful of people were able to leave the hospital within five minutes.

More importantly, by blowing up the hospital gate and parking lot, the clown proved one thing with facts.

That means he does have the ability to completely blow up the hospital.

Bruce has prepared many plans for tonight's battle.

But he didn't expect that the clown would actually use this method to take the initiative.

"Open a portal to let people in the hospital leave!"

Bruce immediately came to Roy and said quickly.

"I can open a portal in the hospital, but even if there is a portal, only some people can leave the hospital within five minutes."

Roy replied.

"I know, just go as far as you can."

Bruce said helplessly.

Seeing Bruce who had completely lost the initiative, Roy said nothing, mobilized the power of the stars, and opened the star portal in the hospital lobby.

In just the blink of an eye, the light cyan constellation portal took shape in the hospital lobby.

Although the medical staff in the lobby did not know what the Star Portal was, they soon discovered that they could travel to the outside world through the Star Portal.

"I set up a portal in the lobby."

Roy said to Bruce.

"Only one?"

Bruce frowned and said.

If there is only one portal, at most, only patients near the lobby can evacuate the hospital.

"If it's just a portal, I can open many, or even one in each aisle."

"But the problem is, if I really do this, there is a high probability that the clown will blow up the hospital immediately."

"He won't just watch the game he prepared be ruined in advance."

Roy reminded Bruce.

Just when Bruce was about to say something, Roy continued:

"I think instead of worrying about whether to let me open a few more portals, you should think about how to break the situation."

"Although I don't know why the clown planned such a game, one thing I'm sure of is that there must be a way to break the game."

"The clown is crazy, but his purpose is not to blow up West Mercy Hospital and Blackgate Prison, but to use West Mercy Hospital and Blackgate Prison as bargaining chips to have a good time with you."

"You know who he is better than I do."

"If anyone can think of a way to break the situation now, it must be you."

On the surface, Bruce has no chance now and can only watch the West Mercy Hospital or West Gate Prison being bombed.

But that's not the case.

If the Joker's purpose was really to kill people or blow up West Mercy Hospital and Blackgate Prison, there would be no need to bother at all.

After installing the rear bomb, he can directly blow up West Charity Hospital and Blackgate Prison.

He did so much, on the one hand, to play with human nature, and on the other hand, to torture Bruce.

And this means that this game, which seems to only have two options, has a way to break it.

"What would you do if you were me?"

After more than ten seconds of silence, Bruce asked.

"Are you sure you want to hear my answer?"

"I told you beforehand that my answer may not be what you want to hear."

Roy asked rhetorically.

"Stop wasting time, tell me, what would you do if you were me?"

Bruce continued to ask.

"It's very simple, I will choose to turn over the table and not play!"

Roy said seriously.

Turn over the table and not play?

After hearing his answer, Bruce and Harley showed puzzled expressions at the same time.

"My past experience tells me that if I play the game within the rules set by others, then no matter how I play, I will lose more than I win."

"The opponent is the one who makes the rules, so the game is unfair from the beginning."

"In this case, I will choose to turn over the table and not play!"

"If my opponent really wants to play with me, then he must adopt rules that are acceptable to both parties."

"Besides, unlike you, I don't have so many worries."

"Whether it's West Charity Hospital or Blackgate Prison."

"Even if the Joker uses the lives of all the citizens of Gotham as a bargaining chip, he can't force me to play according to his rules."

"To put it bluntly, I don't care whether the citizens of Gotham live or die."

"The reason why you are being led by him now is because you abide by his rules of the game too much."

"You would rather be a vigilante than run for mayor, which means you don't like playing according to the rules of the game specified by others."

"You were able to figure this out back then, but now you have become helpless."

"This shouldn't be done, it shouldn't be done!"

Roy looked at Bruce seriously and said seriously.

After listening to Roy's explanation, Bruce fell silent again.

After almost half a minute like this, he took out the mobile phone that the doll man gave him before.

This is the only way he can contact the Joker now.

Finding the communication record, he pressed the dial button.

Soon, the call was connected.

Without waiting for the person on the other end of the phone to speak, Bruce said directly:

"I won't choose any one, you can blow up whatever you want!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone and threw the phone on the ground.

Then, he crushed the phone with his foot.

After seeing Bruce's actions, Roy once again created the star portal.

"Do you want to stay here and wait for the final result, or come with me to the building next door and wait for the final result."

"Personally, I suggest you go with me to the building next door and wait for the results."

"If the clown really blows up the hospital, you will have the chance to catch him alive."

Roy said to Bruce.

"Um!"

After the constellation portal was formed, Bruce walked in first.

Building roof.

Bruce glanced at the time and said to Roy:

"What if the Joker actually blows up hospitals and prisons later..."

Before he could speak, Roy interrupted him and said slowly:

"You have to understand one thing. Even if the hospital and prison were really bombed, it was the clown who killed those people. You did nothing wrong."

"In five minutes, you can't rescue all the people in the hospital and prison, and you can't defuse the bombs in the hospital and prison."

"You are a human, not a god!"

"As for guilt, you don't need to feel guilty."

"You just need to remember that it is the clown who kills people."

"All you have to do is catch him."

"As for the other things, it's not something you need to consider."

That's what Roy said, but what Roy wanted to say more was that if Bruce had killed the Joker from the beginning, there wouldn't have been so many things. The Joker should not have been left alive for the sake of so-called human rights and laws.

Bruce said nothing and looked at him with a complicated expression.

Soon, the five-minute countdown ended.

Just when Bruce prepared the hospital in front of him or received the news from Afu that the prison was bombed, the West Mercy Hospital in front of him did not explode.

There was no news about the bombing of Blackgate Prison from Ah Fu in the Batcave.

Both West Mercy Hospital and Blackgate Prison exploded just as the clown said.

this……

Although this was a good thing, Bruce showed an expression of disbelief.

Why?

Why didn't the Joker blow up West Mercy Hospital and Blackgate Prison?

This is not the clown's style!

Bruce looked at Roy with a puzzled expression, trying to get a reasonable explanation from Roy.

"Don't look at me, I'm not a clown, and I don't know what he thinks."

"But looking at the results, it's obviously a good thing, isn't it?"

Roy said with a smile.

However, not long after he finished speaking, there was a huge explosion in the West District where Blackgate Prison is located.

boom!

The huge explosion sound spread throughout Gotham, and the orange-red explosion flames rising into the sky were clearly visible like mushroom clouds.

Seeing the sky-high flames exploding in Black Gate Prison, Roy's expression became a little complicated.

Really worthy of being a clown!

He actually blew up the Black Gate Prison, which houses the largest number of criminals!

Although it was more than ten seconds late, the Joker still blew up the Blackgate Prison.

The bombing of Blackgate Prison illustrates two things.

First, the majority of Gotham citizens responded to blowing up Blackgate Prison.

Second, Bruce is about to face a storm of public opinion.

The majority of Gotham citizens chose to blow up Blackgate Prison, and Roy was not surprised.

He wasn't particularly concerned about whether Blackgate Prison was bombed. He only had one thing on his mind right now.

That is, if the Joker is really as keen on playing tricks on Batman as he guessed, then the Joker will never let Bruce take the initiative to bring him to the door.

The call Bruce made to the Joker just now was a clue that came to his door.

Just as Roy guessed, not long after Blackgate Prison was blown up, the Joker mass-sent the phone recording to all Gotham citizens.

"I won't choose any one, you can blow up whatever you want!"

Although Bruce used a disguised deep voice, the Joker did not forget to note that this was Batman's choice.
