Chapter 16 Plant Crisis
The communication was dialed by the ventriloquist, and he brought bad news to Chen Tao:
Deadshot was making noises about breaking up and returning to Gao Laozhuang - Chen Tao just felt tired.
He once again profoundly realized that reality is not an online game, and there is no such outrageous setting as [recruiting soldiers means you can see their loyalty].
The guys he recruited were each more troubled and weirder than the last.
Gordon stood aside for a while and found that Batman didn't leave him to answer the phone like before, so he consciously walked to the side and shrank.
Chen Tao asked the ventriloquist to give the phone to Deadshot, then calmed down, thought briefly, and cut the voice into Deadshot's own voice:
"OK, OK, even if you don't need money, you still have to save your life and reunite with your daughter. I respect your choice and bless your life, but I still have something to say."
"Are you satisfied like this?"
The dead shooter on the other end of the phone looked a little weird, and the other person used his own voice to persuade him, which was inexplicably scary.
"Listen, Lawton, I've investigated you. Your daughter's adoptive parents are just an ordinary family. They don't have the ability to provide your daughter with a good education."
"Your daughter is still in elementary school. Next she will go to the worst public junior high school in the community, surrounded by gangsters who dye their hair, smoke, have tattoos and fight. Next she will go to the worst high school - if What if your daughter didn’t learn bad words?”
"Being pregnant by some red-necked scumbag one day? And then becoming a single mother, huh? Working as a salesperson in a supermarket, with an out-of-shape figure and sagging skin. Is this the life you planned for your daughter? "
"Shut up! You bastard!"
Deadshot's anger was easily aroused. He shouldn't be such an irritable idiot, but no matter who it was, he could never stay calm when it came to his family.
"Ah - yes - that's right - his father is the famous Deadshot, a murderer wanted by more than 10 countries. The only difference between Zoe and other slum girls is his awesome father Dad will shoot through the necks of all the bad guys who come near her, and he still has some money saved over the years as a mercenary, but what's the use?"
"No matter how much money you have, the real upper echelons of those aristocratic schools will not open their doors to Zoe. What's more, if you want to launder your black money, half of them will evaporate directly."
"Your money can be laundered, but what about your identity? Where do you want to take Zoe to live? The Sahara Desert or the Grand Canyon of East Africa?"
"My dear mercenary, you don't want your daughter to not receive a good education, right?"
"That's enough, don't say any more!"
Deadshot's voice had a strange feeling of frustration, as if he was biting his tongue to stop the sound of his heart from coming out of his mouth.
"I can get you a letter of introduction to the top university in Gotham, from Bruce Wayne or Jim Gordon."
"I can use the 200 million US dollars in funds given to you through financial operations, and turn them all into Zoe's legal income."
"I can plan a perfect life for Zoe."
"..."
silence.
Deadshot on the other side of the phone sighed. He did not expect that he would immediately change his mind and surrender within just a few minutes after making a decision.
He didn't ask whether the other party could help him clear his identity. He knew that even if the other party could, he wouldn't do it for him.
What the opponent needs is a combatant who can fight and rush, not a soldier who always thinks about washing his hands in a golden basin.
"Okay, I understand. I will help you..."
"What did you call me?"
"boss."
The matter is resolved.
Provide the facts, put the chips on the table, and close the deal.
To be honest, Chen Tao was too lazy to think in the direction of "Is the other party deliberately raising the price?" because it was meaningless.
When Bain is dealt with, his cooperation with this group of mercenaries will be terminated immediately. The money and goods will be cleared, the promise will be fulfilled, and then they will run towards their own beautiful lives, and they will never interact with each other until death.
At least now, he can completely control the Deadshot, and that's enough.
What's more, now that the National Guard has been dispatched, can Bain still destroy an entire army by himself?
Think optimistically, although maybe Batman doesn't need to take action at all.
Chen Tao closed the communication and looked at Gordon, preparing to discuss with him how to deal with Bain. He still had in his hand - wait, the other party seemed to be answering the phone too.
Jim Gordon turned his head. He wiped his forehead and wiped the sweat from the folds on his brown hair mixed with gray.
The expression on his face was extremely serious.
"Give me a moment, Batman."
He said.
He hurriedly left the rooftop from the stairway. A few minutes later, Director Gordon came back again with a document bag and handed one of the documents to Chen Tao:
"You watch first, I don't care. Three days ago, the Star Laboratory was attacked and a big living person was kidnapped. Harold Goldblum, professor of chemistry, chemical research at GothCorp Company The leader of the ministry, an expert in biological and chemical warfare weapons, with top-notch wisdom in the fields of biology, botany, and toxicology..."
He took out a photo and showed it to Chen Tao. It showed a bald man with gray hair. He looked very smart and "top" at first glance.
Chen Tao's heart skipped a beat after seeing it.
"This was originally a very serious matter, but at that time, Firefly had just set a fire at Elmer's Pier." Chen Tao followed up with his answer: "And the perverted Firefly was climaxing while watching the pier turn into a torch, and then..." Chen Tao was stuck for a moment, and he suddenly realized that in the original history, Batman was the first to arrive at the scene, beat Firefly to a pulp, and made him flee in embarrassment. But at that time he had just crossed over and was still trying to activate the [Alfred Protocol] with the toilet paper in the Bat Cave, so--
"Firefly and the guys who came after hearing the news had a fierce conflict."
(The guys Gordon mentioned were his police officers)
"In addition to Firefly, there are also Almond Brain, Ogre, Two-Face..."
Gordon said a long list of names like a menu, and then said: "Bane released too many people from Arkham Asylum, so the matter of Poison Ivy was delayed."
"But just 10 minutes ago, I just received a report that the people in the Identification Department used technical means to repair the damaged surveillance, and we suddenly discovered that Poison Ivy did not rob the Star Lab alone--"
Chen Tao took the photo handed over by Gordon, and standing next to Poison Ivy Ivy was a terrifying-looking tree man.
"Then, we found out that Professor Goldblum had just developed a biological weapon with a large range for GothCorp. If Poison Ivy and this inhuman monster intend to replicate this weapon and use it in the city..." Chen Tao looked at the photo carefully for a while. "I know him. This guy is the plant master, Jason Wood," he said in a positive tone: He replicated the accident that created the swamp monster Alec Holland, turned himself into a walking plant, and became a low-level spokesperson for the magical power [Green of All Things]. " "Green of All Things, what the hell is that?" "An elemental essence, representing plants, and the red of all living things representing flesh and blood animals, and the black of decay representing corruption and death, and are called the three basic forces. " "Okay, wait." Gordon said, "You just said magic, right. " "I don't know why the content of our discussion suddenly jumped from police and gangster movies to super-powered magic brawls. "
