Chapter 55 Funeral
Yes, so.
This is the end.
The Riddler was a little stunned to see Batman and the Joker talking on TV for a while, and then he started the machine.
In front of him, the Joker turned into a disgusting meat paste in the crystal coffin.
No borrowing, no fake death, no disappearance. Didn't disappear in an explosion or accidentally fall off a cliff.
There was just a simple death.
The Riddler had planned his own fake death several times, using Clayface or Snakeskin (another Gotham villain who could transform), but never like today.
Batman killed someone, and he murdered without hesitation.
The Riddler saw the video zoomed in and the Joker appeared in front of him.
Let's go back to the moment when the Joker died.
"So all this was a lie to me? You didn't become the Joker?"
"Never." Chen Tao said.
The silver-white particles flashed, and as the crystal coffin closed completely, Chen Tao breathed a sigh of relief.
Lucius's technical means are beyond doubt. With such a thick crystal coffin, the Joker would never be able to escape.
Yes, he did it. He fooled the Joker, the Joker who had made the original Batman Bruce Wayne fail and suffer countless times. Now he was trapped in the crystal coffin. As long as he gently pressed this button...
A piece of transparent glass-the Joker was sure that this was a strong polymer sealing material. The Joker looked at Batman.
"Haha, ah ha ha ha ha ha ha... Batman! You succeeded in catching me again, ha ha ha, I'm such a fool, ha ha ha - but this is really funny, this joke is funny - damn! You are so good at pretending. I won't do it again next time-"
The Joker laughed out of breath, but Chen Tao opposite him was calm.
"No next time, Joker."
"What?"
The Joker paused.
"Like I said, you are going to die. This is not an impulsive act or a murder in passion, but a result of long-prepared preparation."
"I decided to use femtosecond laser crushing technology to kill you."
Chen Tao reached out and stroked the transparent coffin: "This is not a birdcage, but a coffin."
Killing the Joker was a decision he had made long ago. Ever since the Joker used laughing gas to make more than 20,000 soldiers almost disabled on the battlefield, he had never thought of continuing to condone the Joker to live in this world.
Of course, as a super fan of American comics, he has heard many disputes about whether Batman should kill people.
Countless people have repeatedly argued from the perspectives of politics, military, philosophy, and even social theory, or the realistic factors of comic sales. They either say that he should kill or not kill. For decades, such debates have never stopped.
But the problem is that Chen Tao is not Batman.
So these debates are meaningless. There is no moral choice, no epic fate. In Chen Tao's opinion, the Joker is just a trouble. If possible, he even thought about using a knife or a gun to kill the Joker. The memory of Bane Bat gave him the skills to murder others. He can use any weapon with ease.
But he still chose the safest approach. The story of the Laughing Bat made Chen Tao feel uneasy. In the comics, Batman has mentioned more than once that even if he murdered the Joker, Gotham would give him something worse.
He didn't want to find out that he was the Laughing Bat himself after traveling for a period of time, and then start to laugh wildly to destroy the multiverse.
This is too happy. Even a trash novel author who drank three pounds of fake wine could not write such a nonsensical plot.
Therefore, he must be cautious on the issue of murdering the Joker. Is there really a poisonous gas on the Joker's spine that can turn others into clowns?
Maybe there is, maybe not, but he will never gamble with himself.
The Joker in the crystal coffin pinched his neck. He began to have difficulty breathing.
Chen Tao walked to the side of the crystal coffin and began to operate silently. After the energy is connected, the machine will start to work and cut the contents of the coffin into pieces at once.
Whether it is the Joker's gas or some other weird thing, as long as the coffin is not opened, then there will be no chance of escaping.
After the Joker dies, Chen Tao will seal it layer by layer with multiple layers of steel, and then seal it with cement in the darkest corner of the lower level of the Batcave until the end of time.
The Joker naturally discovered the murderous intent in Batman's eyes. He told some crazy jokes for a while, and then reminisced about the past with Chen Tao, but Chen Tao completely turned a deaf ear to these things, so in the end-
He suddenly seemed unusually calm.
"I know. It's over now. You don't plan to play games with me anymore, right, Batman? Okay, I accept it, it's the end now. But you always run away from the people around you. Have you ever thought that you have never said to me-" "I hate you. Those few words, I hate you, Joker." "Listen Batman, if today is the end, then I think I still have the right to prepare my last words." "Femtosecond laser cutting is ready." The machine made a mechanical sound. "Please pay attention, please confirm that everything is ready, countdown: 10 seconds." "Batman!"
Chen Tao stood in front of the crystal coffin, indifferent, watching the Joker pounce on the transparent coffin door.
"I'm dying, I'm about to be killed by you, but listen carefully Batman - I hate you."
"It's your turn, Bat! Hurry up, it's your turn, say that sentence!"
Time passed second by second, Chen Tao turned his head away. The hope in the Joker's eyes was extinguished bit by bit.
"7 seconds."
"6 seconds."
"Me too." Chen Tao answered him: "Joker."
"Haha, haha ... "That's right, that's right Bat."
"I'm glad you finally found out today, because in the past, you know, I never let you find out how I died."
"Falling from a helicopter, falling off a cliff, disappearing in an explosion, but I always come back. I shouldn't have let you see how I died, but it seems that this situation is inevitable today."
"Listen, I won't die, Batman, this is a fact."
"I am an idea, an idea, and I will continue to live in the shadows, living in Gotham's dissatisfaction... You will see me again soon Yeah, hahahaha, hahahaha, ah hahahahahaha——
First, a line of blood began to spread from his forehead, and then his head began to collapse.
The clown is dead.
