The Death Knell

In the darkness, a vague sound of breathing would sound only once every long time, but from time to time, there would be a few chuckles mixed in.

This laughter sounded like water vapor floating on the clouds, with a very unstable feeling, as if it would turn into tears falling from the sky in the next second.

"Be quiet for a while, I need to think."

The shadow in the darkness said this to himself, but he laughed to himself the next second, as if he was holding his throat and answered himself in a high-pitched and thin voice.

"Hehe, what does it matter? Why don't you let me help you think about it and let's play an interesting game first?"

"...Your plan is just to keep the two of us alive." A low, hoarse voice said.

The frivolous and happy voice asked: "Isn't this enough? As long as there is a butler, there will be bread and milk. With Batman, it will be easy to form an idol band."

Batman's face was expressionless. He was holding the jar in his hand and holding it against his chest. The little alien starfish looked like he was sleeping.

"If everyone else dies, then there is no need for Batman to exist. I will become Bruce Wayne, an ordinary human being who survives the disaster."

The clown's phantom jumped out of the darkness and sat on the armrest of the chair next to Batman. He stretched out his finger and poked the black mark on Batman's chest: "Oh, dear Bat, you are scaring me again. I'm fine." I'm scared...so how about we play the ghost card? Whoever draws the clown will go out and kill people."

"If you plan to use my body to kill people, Can Luo will execute the final agreement and kill me by completely erasing my consciousness through psychic powers." Batman remained calm, and he even used a unique black color Humor replied: "It doesn't matter what you do with my body in the future, but I suggest you find Deathstroke, he will let you live forever."

"It won't kill you, it doesn't dare! I will kill it first!" The clown's face pulled down. His face looked very ferocious in the darkness, and his green hair was being torn crazily in his hands.

Batman supported his face with his fists and propped himself on the armrest of the chair on the other side:

"In fact, you can't kill Canro. Its unique life form and ability to split will only make your behavior be regarded as an 'external stimulus', thus promoting its evolution, transforming back into Starro the Conqueror, and then becoming a cosmic-level Kill me with its strength, and use the starfish to control you forever. Then according to the predetermined plan, it will control this body to find the death knell, and continue to do its last contribution to the universe."

The Joker gasped, and his eyes were wide open, with dense bloodshot eyes reaching the eyeballs from almost all directions. He looked at Batman with terrifying eyes.

However, Batman was as calm as ever, and there was only determination in his eyes.

He had a plan from the beginning. His body was a prison, used to imprison the clown and himself.

If necessary, he would already have a plan to drag the clown along with him.

"Oh, oh hehe, hahahahaha..."

The Joker seemed to switch personalities instantly. He laughed, fell off the armrest of the chair, and rolled around in front of Batman, laughing:

"Interesting, so interesting! Or Batman? One backup plan after another, but do you think I really can't deal with a starfish? But forget it, clear out all the extra people before our game starts. Our common wish is that I will help you, first deal with the pirated version of you and me, and then deal with Luther."

"We have to deal with Perpetua first. This is the most urgent matter."

Batman took a deep breath, he was victorious over the Joker once again, as always, and only temporarily.

"Bala, bala, bala... whatever you want, but you never know what kind of chocolate is inside until you open the box, hahahaha..."

The clown shook his head impatiently, then laughed and disappeared, and everything became peaceful again.

At this time, the door of the hall opened, and a ray of light from the outside world shone into the room. Batman squinted his eyes and looked at the dark shadow of the person who entered in the light.

"I thought I heard you laughing, my brother."

Night Owl walked in, and he also brought a huge instrument, which was dragged on a cart.

"You heard wrong."

Batman stood up expressionlessly and walked towards the machine. His black cape spread out like wings, making the sound of air turbulence in the darkness.

This machine is similar to the Speed ​​Force treadmill in the main world, but is slightly different in structure.

"This is the syndicate hall. I have countless cameras here." Ye Xiao hugged his arms and looked very serious: "I saw and heard your soliloquy, hysterical laughter and suicide declaration. You What went wrong?"

Batman glanced at him, but had no intention of revealing any information: "I am not your family member, and I have no obligation to tell you everything. We are just an alliance. If you are really so curious, then go and reason."

"I just don't want your condition to affect our plan. Dealing with Perpetua? I agree. But dying in vain? No way." Night Owl laughed, but his emotions were reflected on his face that was very similar to Bruce. Gotta be more explicit.

Batman squatted down to check the status of the machine. He put his hand inside the machine to feel for something: "There will be no problem with our plan, but I am not optimistic about the plan on Earth 0."

"You are now on Earth Minus 3, my world, and how do you know the situation on Earth 0?" Night Owl also squatted down to help Batman debug the equipment.

"Like you, I also have countless cameras in the Hall of Justice. I saw their meetings and what they were preparing to do." Batman first put the sleeping starfish on his shoulders, and then put both hands into the machine's wiring. : "I can see it through Can Luo's ability to access the Sky Blood Layer broadcast, but it's just a heavy burden on those with psychic abilities."

"Then you don't need to go back?" Ye Xiao wiped the sweat from his head.

"No, because if what Star Man said is true, then their plan is probably the only feasible one." Batman took something out of his belt and slowly added it to the machine: "But I don't believe Star Man. I don’t believe in Deathstroke either, I will observe it for a while while ensuring the safety of Zhenglian members.”

Ye Xiao was silent for a while, which was also his usual practice, so he chose to change the topic and pointed at the machine in front of him: "Has it been repaired?"

Batman also stood up, and the corners of his mouth turned downward: "It is somewhat seriously damaged, but I should restore it to the point where it can operate normally."

"Then let's give it a try." Ye Xiao did not hesitate. He pressed the red power button on the machine and then entered the voice control mode: "Alfred, execute plan B."

The machine made a buzzing sound, as if it was crushing something. Then, it heard the sound of running water and sprayed out some steam. This seemed to be somewhat different from the so-called normal operation.

But neither the bat nor the night owl spoke. They just stood together and waited silently.

Three minutes later, the two got what they wanted.

Batman took a sip from the white porcelain cup, exhaled slowly, and his expression became much more relaxed: "It's been a long time since I drank the coffee made by Ah Fu. The taste is almost exactly the same, except that there is less meat. Cardamom.”

Night Owl was doing the same thing beside him, taking a sip, closing his eyes and enjoying it for a moment, then he looked at Batman beside him and said meaningfully: "Ah, I feel alive again, this is probably the taste of home." Bar."
