Chapter 95: The expected change (Subscription required)
It is 3 o'clock in the morning, and the city of Batman is brightly lit.
Chen Tao just received a communication from the Riddler.
Our Mr. Nygma obediently locked himself back in the transparent cell, and by the way, he used wall plaster to repair the hole he dug with the iron spoon.
The Riddler is one of the smartest people in the world, and he knows everything. So it makes sense that he can repair the wall, right?
Both clowns have been captured alive.
Now there is only the nuclear bomb, probably.
Chen Tao thought silently.
He sat on the floor of Arkham Asylum to recuperate, next to Bane who fell to the ground and the Joker who was beaten and seriously injured by him after using Titan Venom.
The two muscular men were piled together naked, and the Joker's body was leaking a little bit because there was no venom, and then he was pressed under Bane.
It didn't take much effort for him to defeat the Joker, and Bane seemed to be finished.
But Chen Tao still seized every opportunity to rest as much as possible.
Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne, having lost Bane's control, stood there stupidly, like a pair of parents waiting for their children to come home from kindergarten.
"80% of the missiles have been destroyed!"
Lucius' voice shouted in the communication: "84%!"
He said very quickly: "86%, Batman, if the missiles are not completely destroyed before they fly out of the atmosphere..."
"92%!"
He said loudly: "Well done, Poison Ivy!"
"98%!"
Chen Tao silently listened to his increasingly loud voice, which rushed out of the headset and shouted with Lucius' heart beating.
Then, finally!
"100%!"
Chen Tao heard Lucius excitedly say: "We won!"
He sat in his seat like a faint, panting loudly.
"I can't believe we did it. We planned for so long," Lucius said. "With so many pre-made missiles, even the most advanced anti-missile interception system needs luck to intercept them all..." He exclaimed in amazement, and then praised Poison Ivy. Then he heard Batman say to him: "Lucius, you used up all the interception missiles, right?" Lucius was stunned. "Yes," he said, "but we intercepted all the missiles, and the worst case scenario you mentioned before did not happen." Chen Tao sighed. "In Gotham. If there is a worst case scenario, it will definitely happen." Lucius heard him make a conclusion first, and then continued: "Check the satellite detection image, Lucius." He heard the other party say: "Did you see the nuclear flash of the nuclear bomb explosion on it?" Lucius' heart jumped. He rushed to the satellite control console, and then saw that the satellite map was empty, and he couldn't help but be stunned. Just now he was too ecstatic and ignored an obvious fact:
Even if the interceptor missile successfully intercepted the nuclear weapon, they should be able to hear the sound at such a close distance.
And now it is silent, which means...
"The nuclear bomb is not among the missiles we intercepted!"
Lucius groaned: "Oh my God!"
"What's going on?"
"This means the worst has happened." Chen Tao sighed heavily.
"The Joker was fooled. Someone used him to distract us and use him to force us to reveal our trump card."
He said:
"And we cannot ignore the possibility that nuclear warheads may really be in these missiles, so we must intercept them all with the interceptor missiles we prepared."
"And once all our interceptor missiles are used up..."
"The person behind the scenes can calmly launch real nuclear bombs!"
Lucius' voice trembled a little: "But this is unreasonable. Who can do this? Who can use the Joker and play him in the palm of their hands?"
"Who can plan such a meticulous plan? How can he be sure that everything will develop as he expected? How did he hide his existence from our-"
"Obviously." Chen Tao answered him: "A person who has been in front of us from the beginning."
Chen Tao stared at Bane lying on the Joker in front of him.
The other party seemed to be still immersed in the effect of laughing gas, and his smile stretched from the corners of his mouth to his ears. He smiled humorously and innocently.
"A person who seems to have been knocked down by a clown."
He continued:
"In this world, the more complex the plan, the greater the benefits, but also the easier it is to fail.
This is because there are too many variables in a complex plan, and the planners have too little control over the entire plan, so they often fail."
"But if you look at it from another angle...if someone can completely control every corner of a complex plan, firmly grasp the most critical link in the entire plan, fully control the actions of a scapegoat, and then stand up at the last moment to reap everything-"
"Then in theory, a super complex plan will be easier to achieve his goal than a simple and crude horizontal push."
Lucius said: "I think I understand what you mean...
Chen Tao turned Lucius's voice to hands-free.
"But who is this person? Who is this person who controls everything behind the scenes? "
"Yeah. I'm curious, too." Chen Tao stared at Bane lying on the ground: "Who could this person be?"
Dead silence.
The air was silent, breathing with Chen Tao. Then, the world was stripped of that layer of bizarre veil.
Huh——
"It's me."
The twisted smile on Bane's face suddenly disappeared.
He got up from the ground expressionlessly, and his rough skin rubbed against the floor, making a low rustling sound.
"This is your real way to weaken me, right?"
Chen Tao looked at him without surprise: "The poison that can destroy my body just now is just a cover, right?"
"Of course, my bat."
Bane answered him: "Always so sharp."
He said: "I have studied your nano body, the body composed of unknown high technology, which is obviously out of the scope of human beings."
"Unfortunately, I did hope to make such a cup of poison... to make such a cup for you."
He emphasized on "you".
"But unfortunately, I really don't have any accomplishments in micro-engineering." He said sincerely: "If there is a next time, I will definitely learn it." "But now." Bane suppressed his excitement and joy in his heart. His tone was calm and steady, and he tried his best to maintain no emotional fluctuations in his tone. He didn't want to show the ugly face of the conspiracy in front of Batman at all. He didn't want to show those murderous, high-pitched, and gentle low moans in front of Batman at all. "You have to stop the real nuclear bomb. You are the only one who can do it." Bane said: "You have to go straight to the front." "Ah, I know." Chen Tao answered him in a low voice. He muttered: "I knew that things would always turn out like this. There will always be the worst." "Always like this." I really can't write anymore, my mind is blank. Tomorrow is Saturday, extra update!
