The Death Knell

"Alas, if I had known I would have asked to join Deathstroke's team, alas!"

Green Arrow could understand being kicked out of the dance by a local snake, because the Joker should be the same, he just wants to play games with Batman.

Green Arrow moved his neck while walking down the high stone steps of City Hall. At this time, more people dressed as Gotham villains were walking towards the City Hall.

This time it was better, he saw more than a dozen women dressed as Harley and Poison Ivy.

It's like the rich people in Gotham don't seem to have much knowledge. These rich women know Harley, Poison Ivy, and Catwoman, and they haven't seen other female villain imitators appear.

Oliver usually lives in Midtown or Seattle and is not very familiar with Gotham, but even so he knows such things as 'Porcelain', Ms. Vic, vampire Darla, 'Hummingbird', 'Tarantula', 'White Rabbit', ' There are hundreds of female villains like vixens and so on.

But that's right, I heard that the smart rich people in Gotham are all members of the Court of Owls, and they have all been killed by laughter before.

The idea seems to be a little off track. In short, when other superheroes are present, the clown will commit a problem commonly known as "people go crazy", thus exaggerating the seriousness of the situation again.

For example, originally he only wanted to kill a few people for fun, but if there were more superheroes, he would definitely find something to do for everyone, thereby creating a special opportunity for himself and Batman to be alone, a stage that belongs to the two of them.

Don't doubt his abilities. The Joker is the crime prince of Gotham. He only needs to say a word, and the believers in the city will immediately launch an all-round attack tonight, killing superheroes like Superman and Ron. They all fell into a state of focusing on one thing and not on the other.

Therefore, Batman asked all his teammates to withdraw and not appear in the Joker's sight, leaving only himself and each other one-on-one. This is also a logical behavior.

It just feels a bit crazy.

"Yes, Deathstroke has snacks, drinks, and time to take a break and tell jokes." Black Canary also agreed. She had never seriously followed Deathstroke, but she heard her ex-husband say it, so this is What are they hinting at when giving the green light and Ron?

Now that everyone has been kicked out of the reception, why not find a place to have a late-night snack?

Batman brought everyone to Gotham, but he didn't want to use them at all. He took everyone under his nose to prevent them from being replaced.

And now, with the Joker to play with, Batman immediately abandons everyone.

In his absence, leadership of the team falls to Superman by default. It's a pity that although Clark has a gentle temperament, he is also notoriously poor. At one time, even his parents' house in his hometown in Kansas was almost taken away by the bank.

"Find a bar for a drink, I'll buy it." At this time, Guy Gardner stood up and patted his chest generously. He was a traditional American tough guy, very generous and forthright: "Anyway, I'm usually here Running around in the universe, the dollars in my pocket will get moldy if I don’t use them any more. Today is the perfect time to take them out to bask in the moonlight, haha.”

In fact, there is no moon at all in Gotham tonight. There are dark clouds and heavy rain. When you look up, you can only see the shadows of bat lights under the clouds and the rising fireworks. …

Still, it was a passable joke.

So the group of people, who didn't want to stand outside the city hall in the rain, crossed the square again, returned to the road where the police station was, found a police bar nearby and got in.

Ah, there is no one at the Police Bar. They did not participate in today's carnival, but were even busier. But if there is no popularity, just an old bartender will do. The room should be warmer at least. Even if Superman and Ron are not afraid of the cold, they have to take care of ordinary human women like Black Canary. This is the basic demeanor of superheroes.

On the other side, after getting rid of his teammates who were getting in the way, Batman got into the mood. He tapped his ear:

"Watch Superman, Oracle, they are my bait."

"Understood, you want to see if the hidden enemy will continue to attack Superman or other superheroes, but what about your situation? What did you see? Do you need me to perform a full-field facial scan?"

Barbara's feeble voice came again, and she knew that bats and death knells were not much different in essence. They were both people who would do anything to achieve their goals.

"No, don't alert the enemy, I have a way."

Batman rejected Barbara's suggestion. The game had just begun and he couldn't let her ruin it.

If a person takes pleasure in killing, then his footsteps will be different; some people are not good at blending into the crowd, or are too good at blending into the crowd, which is not normal; there is also body temperature, sweat, and the real clowns use chemical wastewater After Chi took a bath, his skin was completely corroded, so he wouldn't sweat.

This is the basis for judgment, so all Batman needs to do is simply find the central air conditioning control panel, and then increase the temperature in the hall by a few degrees.

Then the real clown will be obvious.

Could finding the real clown in the crowd be the first step to success?

No, if the Joker had no other arrangements, he would definitely not send it to him on his own initiative. Batman knew his habits.

The Joker's gameplay is not to simply kill people, but to count all human lives on Batman, making the bat feel that these people died because of him, thus achieving the effect of "pushing" behind.

So is there any trap here? There must be. It is very likely that the clown has designed a trap on the central air conditioning controller. As long as he operates the bomb somewhere, it will explode and kill everyone present.

So, the first thing to do is find the bomb?

Well, there are more vases in the city hall than in previous days, with Chinese-style blue and white porcelain, but obviously these bottles are not suitable for this European classical interior decoration style, so these vases should be imported.

The flowers in the bottle look a little wilted, which would not be the case if there was water in the bottle and aspirin added, so there is something else in the bottle.

But if the possible bomb was found so easily, it was definitely not the Joker's plan.

The many blue and white porcelain bottles should also be traps. When you pick up the bottle, there may be a pressure sensor underneath it, which will cause the laughing gas hidden in the dark to leak, killing someone or everyone here or elsewhere.

So, to find the electronic equipment that may exist?

It's also wrong. Now that he's knowing the clown is hiding it, he can manually control those mechanisms remotely, so the correct choice should be.

"The dance is over."

The thought process only took a few tenths of a second, not even enough to tell a bad joke. Batman took out the batarang from his waist and swung it towards the chandelier on the roof. It was a powerful EMP bomb, and it hit The moment the electrical appliance was turned on, an electromagnetic pulse invisible to the naked eye was emitted and the circuits of the city hall were instantly burned out.

Everyone, from the Joker to the townspeople, including Batman himself, is plunged into darkness.

The music stopped, and the communication with Barbara was temporarily interrupted. I could only hear the screams of women, the sound of fireworks exploding outside the window, and the sound of rain hitting the glass.

But now, the advantage and initiative comes to Batman's side, because darkness is his home turf.

Little did he know that in this darkness, he didn't realize that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
