Chapter 1596 Do You Have a Clear Conscience?

Jiang Hao carried Squidward away and disappeared into the darkness. In a hidden house in downtown Gotham, he laid his body on the bed and took out a healing talisman and slapped it on Squidward.

Squidward's injuries recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. After half an hour, the big hole through his chest disappeared, and his spine and blood vessels recovered.

Jiang Hao cast another spell.

"Bang bang~ Bang bang~~"

Squidward's heart beat again and he slowly began to breathe. Jiang Hao estimated that this guy would need to wait a while before waking up.

He thought of something, took out a laptop from the space, connected to the video equipment in the parking lot through the network, copied a copy of the video inside, and then ordered the original to be completely deleted.

Jiang Hao had already tampered with the parking lot's monitoring equipment and installed a wireless control device that could copy data and control the equipment at will.

These videos are very useful to him, and he doesn't want others to see them.

Opening the video, the process of his fight with Batman was clearly recorded, and it was high-definition and multi-angle. The fight between the two smashed dozens of cars in the parking lot, including the surrounding fences. The action scene was very exciting, comparable to Marvel blockbusters.

In the end, Jiang Hao was beaten and flew away. Edward stepped forward to stop him. Batman kicked Edward away, and Edward was pierced through the body by the iron fence and steel pipe.

Jiang Hao recalled this action, which was generally very perfect.

In fact, everything that happened today was designed by Jiang Hao. Since the first time he saw the coward in Arkham Asylum, he began to design a plot for him in his mind. He was like a movie director, directing everything that happened today.

To deal with a person, you have to target his weaknesses. What are Batman's weaknesses? Rich, handsome, his high technology, his super wisdom, and his principles.

Damn.

These are all advantages, okay.

When Jiang Hao found Batman's shortcomings, he found that this guy was full of advantages and was more perfect than himself.

But advantages may not be transformed into weaknesses. Jiang Hao aimed at Batman's principles.

Batman is able to capture so many villains, and many of them are mutants with super powers, which shows that Batman is very powerful. He is fully capable of killing them directly. You know, killing a person is much easier than capturing a person.

But why doesn't Batman kill people? It's because of his own principles, or in other words, this is his last bottom line for not falling into darkness.

In fact, Batman can only be regarded as a "dark hero". His files in the police station are thicker than those of many villains and criminals. There is an interesting phenomenon, that is, if the police see Batman fighting with criminals, those police are likely to turn their guns and arrest Batman first.

Batman's original intention was to maintain the rule of law, but most of his actions are actually illegal. Although his results are just, the process is illegal. The behavior of a knight is ultimately a lynching, and he has no right to decide the life and death of others, and he has no right to judge.

Not killing people has become Batman's own bottom line. It's not that he has a saintly disease. Batman is really not a saintly person. It's just that Batman understands that once he breaks the killing precepts and breaks the moral bottom line he has set, even if it's only once, he may never be able to keep this moral bottom line again.

This is the principle he made himself.

In Jiang Hao's view, this principle made Batman successful, but also became his biggest imprisonment.

It is even his inner demon!

Once this principle is broken, it will inevitably cause a collapse chain reaction.

So in Arkham Asylum, Jiang Hao accepted Edward as his younger brother. Edward was the key that Jiang Hao prepared for Batman to open his inner demon.

The subsequent bank robbery and money-scattering behavior were actually just part of the plan, the purpose of which was to lure out Batman.

Letting Edward wait outside on the street to meet him in advance, and even planning to park in the parking lot, were all Jiang Hao's plans in advance.

He knew that Batman would definitely take the bait and would definitely come out to uphold justice and arrest him. In fact, when he stood on the roof of the Empire State Building, he could feel that many people were watching him. After he escaped, someone was always tracking him, and the feeling of being monitored never disappeared.

In the parking lot, Batman finally appeared, Jiang Hao's plan was successful, and the two began to fight. During the fight, Jiang Hao did not use his full strength. He knew that Batman actually did not use his full strength either. Batman did not kill him, did not use his high-tech weapons, but just wanted to arrest him.

During the fight, Jiang Hao deliberately knocked over the fence, exposing the sharp iron pipe, in preparation for the final murder.

Of course, there is another key link in the plan, that is, whether Edward will rush up, which is a variable, and Jiang Hao is not 100% sure.

In fact, he had two preparations at the time, that is, if Edward did not come up to help, but chose to escape, Jiang Hao would bump into it himself, let the steel pipe pierce his body, and stimulate Batman with his death.

It's just that the script needs to be changed later.

But in the end, Edward did very well. He rushed up regardless of everything, and Batman knocked him away. In the process of flying out, Jiang Hao used the object control technique, and Edward was pierced by the steel pipe.

Jiang Hao stepped forward and used a spell to seal Edward's soul, making him enter a real state of death. In Batman's eyes, Edward was indeed dead.

And Edward didn't know the whole plan at all, only Jiang Hao knew it.

Jiang Hao looked up at Squidward Edward, who still had his eyes closed. He didn't expect that this guy would defend himself so much at a critical moment, regardless of life and death.

Well, you must be kind to Edward in the future. Although he has a cowardly character and no ability, for Jiang Hao, having that loyalty is enough.

"Cough cough cough~!"

Edward on the table suddenly coughed twice and slowly opened his eyes.

"Boss, am I not dead?" Edward asked Jiang Hao in surprise as he looked at his chest, which was now intact.

Although he has the ability to recover, it is far from the level that Deadpool can resurrect with only the residue. It is also difficult for him to recover from injuries that are too serious, especially those that are life-threatening.

"Haha, I used some methods, coupled with your own recovery ability, you have fully recovered now." Jiang Hao said.

Edward smiled, "The boss is still awesome. At that time, I really thought I was going to die. I could feel the iron pipe penetrated my spine, through my chest and lungs. It was really painful at the time. I had never suffered this before. Such a serious injury."

Jiang Hao smiled and patted Edward on the shoulder, "Thank you for sacrificing your life to save me. We are safe now, but there is one more thing. You need to hide now and cannot show your face for the time being."

"No problem, boss, I'll listen to you." Edward didn't ask the reason at all and just carried out the orders.

"The refrigerator is full, and there is food and drink. If there is anything missing, I will ask Iron Fist to deliver it. When you are bored, you can watch TV and play computer games, but you can't let anyone see you for the time being." Jiang Hao said.

Edward smiled and said, "Don't worry, boss, my greatest skill is being an otaku. This is simply my dream life."

Jiang Hao chuckled after hearing this, "When this is over, I'll find ten girls for you."

Edward scratched his head, smiled a little embarrassedly and a little bit obscenely: "Boss, actually two are enough, too much is too much."

Jiang Hao left, and Edward started his own otaku life.

Batman returned to his base, took off his Batsuit, took the elevator to Wayne Castle above, and took a bath with hot water.

Sitting on the sofa wearing a bathrobe, his eyes were a little frozen, and Alfred, the butler, came over with a pot of hot coffee, and while pouring the coffee, he asked casually: "Did you go well today? Did you catch any criminals? "

Wayne said nothing.

The butler looked up at Wayne curiously. Seeing that Wayne was in a daze, he asked in surprise: "What's wrong Bruce, what happened?"

Wayne looked at the old butler with a heavy expression and took a breath, "I killed someone!"

The old butler was stunned. He realized that the problem might be serious, especially for Wayne. He put down the coffee pot and sat next to him, "Bruce, tell me the whole thing, please?"

Batman told the story from the beginning. He knew that the clown was going to cause chaos in the square, so he arranged it in advance. Later, the clown threw money down the Empire State Building. The old butler just watched it live on TV.

"Then the clown escaped, and using the flying wing suit, I controlled the drone to track him. Finally, he got into a car on another street, and I drove behind him to track him, and finally chased him to a parking lot."

"In the parking lot, I originally wanted to arrest the clown, but the clown seemed to have changed into a different person. He became very powerful. His strength, speed, and martial arts skills were not inferior to mine. The two of us had a big fight in the parking lot, destroying dozens of pieces. Cars and surrounding facilities.”

Butler Alfred was very surprised, "Does the clown have superhuman abilities? Or was he injected with some medicine, like the medicine you tracked down last time that can give people superhuman abilities?"

Bruce Wayne shook his head, "I don't know. It has been more than half a year since I last saw the Joker. I don't know what he has been through during this time."

"You killed the Joker?!" Alfred asked in surprise.

"No, it's not the clown, it's one of his men. I punched the clown into a car. One of the clown's men rushed over and hit me with a submachine gun. I kicked him over and the guy flew out, just in time. A steel pipe was inserted into the chest. "

"That guy was obviously an ordinary person. He bled a lot and died after a few struggles. Later, the clown left with his body in his arms, and I didn't stop him."

Speaking of this, Bruce Wayne's tone was very low.

Alfred frowned slightly. The reason Bruce wanted to become Batman was because he saw a gangster shoot and kill his parents. This made him very sad and determined to eradicate evil and prevent such a tragedy from happening.

But Batman can use illegal means to catch criminals, but he has set a bottom line for himself. He thinks he can catch them, but he has no right to judge them, especially the trial of life. If he really regards himself as a judge, he can If you take a person's life casually in the name of justice, then he is no different from the thug who killed his parents.

He has always been strict about not killing people, but today he killed a person. This shock was naturally huge to Batman.

The Butler thought for a while, looked at Batman and said softly: "Bruce, I think it was just an accident. Your intention was not to kill him, so it was not intentional. It's just that there happened to be an iron pipe where he fell. "

Bruce couldn't let it go, "Yes, I thought of this, not intentionally, but I did not have control at the time and did not consider the consequences, which led to his death. This is still my responsibility."

"What do you think?" asked the butler.

"I don't know. I'm very confused now. The Joker asked me before he left. I have killed someone and committed a serious crime. Will I confess my crime and go to jail? Or will I continue to be Batman with a clear conscience?"
