Thriller Paradise Chapter 1287: Say my name (12)
The Gotham River, a black river.
Before Gotham became a commercial city, it was a typical industrial city. Year-round pollution has permanently changed the color of the river that spans the two ends of the city. Today, even if people spend more money to control it, There is no way to recall its original appearance.
Many things in the world are like this. It is easy to change from clear to cloudy, but difficult to change from cloudy to clear; it is easy to change from white to black, but from black to white... it takes a high price.
Gulululu——
The sound of the propeller rotating underwater, carrying tiny air bubbles, floated onto the river.
In this dark night, no one will notice what is quietly happening in this wide turbid river.
At this moment, a "Bat Submarine"... if you would call it that... is slowly moving forward on the river bed.
And the person driving it is naturally Batman.
About an hour ago, after turning into a taxi driver and attacking Feng Bujue, Wayne entered an underground tunnel not far from the Pioneer Bridge.
This kind of "dark road" spread all over the city was slowly developed by him for many years (the slow progress of the expansion is not due to technical reasons, but simply because he has to try to avoid the possibility of becoming Subway lines), the entrances are distributed in every corner of Gotham, and Wayne’s iris needs to be scanned to open it.
There are simple tracks and small magnetic levitation mobile cabins in the dark tunnels, which can help Wayne travel quickly in the city; in addition, some places in the dark tunnels also hide some "bat equipment" for emergency needs.
Of course, these spare "equipments" do not include such big guys as "submarines".
So, Wayne still had to return to his bat cave first, start the submarine, and then follow the tributary of the river into the Gotham River, and sail to the spot where his fake taxi sank.
This process undoubtedly took him a lot of time.
If he can successfully find the body of "Jack" in the car wreck after the bombing, then the time spent is worthwhile, but...
"This kid... escaped?" Looking at the screen on the scanner, Wayne was surprised and suspicious, and then fell into contemplation, "How did he do it... From Arkham's surveillance video Judging from it, apart from slightly stronger physical fitness than ordinary people, he did not show other special abilities... Could it be that his weird accomplice rescued him?" He quickly denied this speculation, "No... …No, to do that, he must let his accomplices wear a full set of diving equipment to wait underwater in advance, and get him out of the car within one second after the car enters the water...unless he knows the precision in advance This arrangement can be made only if the crash point of the car and the error of one meter is not allowed; but the specific crash point... is not even the driver of me can grasp..."
The so-called "reasoning" is like walking through a maze, and the exit of the maze is the "truth"; in this maze, when you enter a dead end, you often have to take a few steps back and find another way to continue. , Don’t dig into that dead end—wasting time is a trivial matter, and it’s terrible to be stuck there forever.
"So...he broke the car window at the last moment and escaped from the car?" Wayne was obviously an old hand in the maze of reasoning. He immediately retreated from the dead end and found another way, "I The timing of the detonation is undoubtedly perfect. One minute early, the explosion sound cannot be covered by the river... One minute later, he will get more reaction and action time... Within a few seconds close to the limit, The influx of water would seriously hinder his movements. Even if he really broke the window, he would not have time to escape from the car... At the moment the car exploded, he leaned out half of his body at most..."
Thinking of this, Wayne moved his gaze away from the scanning device, and he immediately turned the direction of the submarine dozens of degrees, aiming at the lower reaches of the river.
"So...maybe the shock wave of the explosion pushed his body out. I should look for it further downstream, maybe..." Wayne thought as he started to accelerate the submarine.
"Wait!" But in that second, a flash of light flashed through his mind.
Inspiration is like a stream of heat, pouring a series of thoughts into his mind.
The gesture Feng Bujue made to the surveillance video, and every word he said before falling into the water... all resurfaced in front of Wayne.
"He wanted to invite me into the game from the very beginning... and I will definitely enter the game." Wayne couldn't help muttering to himself. At this moment, he must say these things to help him think more concentratedly. "When he got into my car, he already saw through my identity... He could completely pretend that he didn't know, and suddenly attacked me from behind without talking to me, or... just jumped into the car and escaped." After a short pause for half a second, he said again, "Even at the last moment, he still has a chance to escape... He even made it clear that there is a button behind my steering wheel, which means that he is early to the next danger. Expected."
Thinking of this, under Wayne's mask, cold sweat has soaked his tough and handsome face.
"Think about it...this'Jack' is one step faster than me everywhere, but he didn't take advantage of that'one step'...why?" Wayne felt scared. In "this world", he I have never been so scared.
"Time!" It may be that fear has produced some kind of stimulus to the brain. Wayne's thinking has become more acute. Two seconds later, he found the correct answer. "He has been'hidden ability' from the beginning. '! He guessed what I was going to do before I drove the car into the river...or at least had considered this possibility, but he didn't care...because he was prepared to face every possibility.
"Not only does he have some kind of supernatural ability that I don't know yet... but... very strong.
"If he wanted to kill me, I would have died a long time ago, but for some reason... he wanted me to live, but at the same time he didn't want me to hinder his actions, so he jumped into my trap... Buy yourself...'time'!"
Wayne resolved his doubts, and quickly manipulated the panel in front of him, so that his communicator began to receive police communication signals.
In less than thirty seconds, he learned about the accident in the Twin Towers from the frequency of police calls.
"Damn it!" Wayne couldn't calm down, he couldn't help but cursed, then stood up and ran to the rear compartment of the submarine.
Because of the Arkham escape in the afternoon, more than half of the police force in the city remained in the suburbs, and this half was the elite who dealt with serious and important cases on weekdays. The police officers in downtown Gotham can It would be good to maintain the basic law and order everywhere, and expecting them to save the mayor... is tantamount to idiotic dreams.
So, now the mayor and others can count on... only Batman.
"Prepare to start the'three-pointer' program." Wayne, who entered the rear compartment of the submarine, fixed himself firmly on a horizontal seat with a very skillful movement, and issued a voice to the computer. command.
[Sir, according to the results of the last test, the security of the program...] The computer did not immediately execute his order, but tried to inform him of the risks of this action.
Wayne didn't let the computer finish speaking at all, and interrupted directly: "Start the program and target the'Twin Towers' in the city center. Come on!"
[Yes, sir. 】
["Three-point shot" program is started, the target point is being calibrated——]
With the non-emotional voice of the computer, a layer of translucent light film projected from under the metal deck, wrapping the seat on which Wayne was lying, turning it into a football Shaped cabin-shaped device.
[Calculating the probability of obstacles, adjusting the best parabola----]
[Enter the projection process in five seconds, five, four, three, two, one...]
At the end of the countdown, this ultra-long-distance "three-pointer" burst out of a pipe slot above the submarine, broke through the water of the Gotham River, and flew obliquely into the sky...
…………
Meanwhile, in the banquet hall on the top floor of the Twin Towers.
"Gentlemen, I know your brains are messed up right now. Let me help you clear your thoughts." Feng Bujue said as he approached forward, "Any one of you shoots at me. There will be a very high probability that the five of us will die together, and I will shoot you..."
Bang——
With that said, he actually fired a shot.
However, his gun was not directed at people, he just smashed the glass of the building behind the mayor and them.
The astonishment caused by the gunfire has not yet receded, and a burst of "high-rise wind" blew in from the big opening in the glass. The four people who were closer to the gap almost all knelt to the ground instinctively, restoring their weight Low... I'm afraid of being taken out of the building by the wind when I stagger.
"Hehe...it may not lead to worse results, right?" Looking at the reactions of the few people in front of him, Feng Bujue opened his arms and smiled wantonly in the cold wind in front of him.
"You lunatic!" Dent pressed his hand to his hair, which was tossed by the wind, and shouted in the sound of the wind, "What on earth do you want to do?"
"I just want to...ask you, and the mayor...a question..." At this time, Feng Bujue was no longer approaching each other, because he knew that if he continued to approach, the two bodyguards would be certain With confidence, he shot his head directly without touching the bomb, "As long as you answer me truthfully... I don't need you to ask me, I will leave by myself."
After that, Brother Jue flicked his arm, put the gun on his shoulder, and then staggered close to a dining table next to him like a drunk man, and picked up a glass of champagne on the table, Drink the first one.
His actions look crazy, but in fact every step has no meaning-the barrel on his shoulders, the elusive movements, the exaggeration when drinking champagne... all prevent others from aiming at his head. The measures; coupled with the interference effect of the gale... Even though the other guests in the banquet hall had already left at this moment, the two bodyguards were still unable to shoot at the madman who was strapped with explosives.
"What do you want to know?" Two seconds later, Mayor Copper also spoke. Of course, he was yelling too.
"It's very simple..." Feng Bujue looked at the two people sideways and replied, "You two...Clearly...speak out your full names."
This request is a bit inexplicable, but in the eyes of the four people in front of the window-a madman's request, it doesn't matter whether there is logic or not, since he is now in control of the situation, such a request...satisfy him.
"I'm Oswald Chesterfield Copper." The mayor of Copper waited a second, then announced his name.
"I'm Harvey "Apollo" Dent..." Dent followed suit.
[Task progress has been updated]
After they reported their names in person, the system voice rang in Feng Bujue's ears.
So far, the progress of his hidden mission has reached 9/10. The nine "super villains" he already knows whereabouts are:
Harley Quinn-now a psychiatrist, married to Bruce Wayne.
The killer crocodile-was imprisoned in a secret room in the sewer and died.
Frozen man-now an ordinary scientific researcher.
The Poison Ivy Girl-now an ordinary college student.
The Scarecrow-now a professor of psychology at Gotham University.
The riddler-now a bartender suffering from a brain disease.
Zhas-has become a life-long disabled parole prisoner.
Penguin-the current Mayor of Gotham.
Double-faced man-now a district attorney in Gotham City.
Feng Bujue only needs to find the whereabouts of another villain, and Feng Bujue will be able to complete the concealment mission. By then, he will surely reveal some...the truth hidden under the appearance of this "world without villains".
Pang Cang Cang Cang...
Just when Brother Jue got the response he wanted, the glass of the building at the other end of the banquet hall was also broken.
This piece of glass was not broken by a gun, but by a rugby-shaped cabin from the outside.
嘁——
The cabin that entered through the broken window hadn't completely stopped sliding, and a burst of gas announced that it had been opened.
Immediately afterwards, in a cloud of white smoke, a black shadow in a cloak slowly emerged...
"Do you know what annoys me the most?" The late-stage laryngeal cancer voice came as expected, "You can clearly make me three steps faster, but you always wait until I'm just one step away. ……"
"Ha!" Feng Bujue looked at the visitor, smiled and threw away the gun in his hand, and quickly took off the fake dynamite bag on the inside of his clothes and threw it on the ground. Is there a three-step gap?"
Wayne ignored his provocation and continued: "I can feel...you enjoy this process very much, "lose" or "win"...it doesn't matter to you."
"But...that's important to you." Feng Bujue continued.
"Hey..." Wayne sighed. He cast his sights on the two bodyguards of the mayor, raised his voice slightly and asked, "Why don't you shoot?"
The two of them were also taken aback when he asked them.
Wayne’s question really came to the point—it is said that Feng Bujue has now thrown the "dynamite", and with his back facing them, they can completely shoot him in the back. At this distance, not to mention a hundred shots, but the torso hit rate should be at least 80%.
"He has been disarmed, we should arrest him according to the procedure!" A few seconds later, Dent was the first to react and gave such an answer seriously.
"Huh..." Wayne snorted coldly, and said to Brother Jue, "I think...you should understand? Why...I want to win, why...I must win."
"I understand." Feng Bujue said, "but I don't agree with it."
"Oh?" Wayne questioned, "Are you trying to say I did something wrong?"
"Of course it's wrong." Brother Jue replied.
"Absurd." Wayne commented in an icy tone. He was obviously not swayed by Jue Ge's denial at all.
"I don't expect you to understand right away." Feng Bujue said, "But I leave it here-if one's principle transcends everything, then it is a kind of extreme selfishness."
"Oh?" Wayne heard something from the other person's words, "It sounds like you think you can get out of here?"
"I have achieved my goal, why do I stay here?" Feng Bujue spread his hands and replied in a natural tone.
"Purpose?" Wayne's eyes moved again, looking at Copper and Dent, "What did he do?"
"He..." Copper hesitated for a second and replied, "Just asked our names."
"Name..." Wayne said, and took a step; at this moment, his whole body was ready, and there were more than ten kinds of equipment under his cloak that could help him subdue the man in front of him. Even setting aside those equipment factors, he himself is one of the best fighting masters in the world. In one-on-one fights, at least on the technical level, he will never lose the wind, "Speaking of which... I seem to have forgotten. This is a very important thing..." He walked straight towards Brother Jue, "Isn't'Jack' his real name?" He paused, "...What is your name?"
Feng Bujue didn't respond to the other party, because when Wayne got up, Jue had already turned around... and started running.
His goal was obvious, and it was the gap he had just opened with the gun.
In terms of speed, Bruce Wayne can be compared with the sprint world champion, but Feng Bujue's footwork is a level that breaks the limit of ordinary people, so...he must be faster.
In an instant, Brother Jue ran past the mayor and the others, so fast that the two bodyguards could not react.
At the same moment~IndoMTL.com~ Two bat darts flew out of Wayne's hands, drew two arcs, bypassed Copper and others, and took Feng Bujue's back straight.
"I will wait for you'there', Batman!"
It’s too late, it’s fast. Just when Jue Ge yelled this, he turned around and jumped out of the building, and after turning around...with only one hand, he steadily received it. Lived two bat darts that hit.
With his other hand, he took out something from his arms-a flashlight.
At a few tenths of a second before gravity dragged him down, Feng Bujue turned on the flashlight and threw it into the building through the hole he jumped out of.
Then he fell.
"Ha...hahaha...hahahaha..."
His body is falling, but the crazy laughter is rising.
The figure disappeared into the night quickly, but the laughter echoed between the buildings, which lasted for a long time...
