Chapter 2225: Battle of Two Cities! (Sixty-Seven)
Chapter 2199 Battle of Two Cities! (Sixty-seven)
Black hair, blue eyes, handsome face, well-proportioned and strong body, eyes full of wisdom - the above are the typical appearance characteristics of Batman. The man opposite must be Batman, or at least Bruce Wayne.
This makes the Joker feel like he is getting angry and seeing Batman's playful smile.
The scream swallowed by him stuck in his throat like sticky candy, making the Joker cough loudly several times.
Batman stared at him.
The Joker panted for a long time before looking up and staring at Batman and saying, "What are you doing? Blood test!"
Batman turned and walked towards the instrument.
The Joker yelled again, "Come back!"
Batman looked back at him, and the Joker pointed to the side, "Test his blood!"
"I didn't take drugs!"
"I didn't fucking take drugs!"
The two turned their heads to look at each other, and the expressions on their faces were surprisingly consistent - "How could you fucking not take drugs?!"
They both turned their heads to stare at Batman at the same time.
Batman paused, but still walked to the instrument and took another syringe to draw blood from Bruce. Bruce looked at him with an extremely hurt and unbelievable look.
"Some of the anesthetics Tim injected into you will remain in your blood. I need to do a blood test to ensure that you can metabolize them within a safe time."
"What did I say! What did I say!!!" The Joker immediately became arrogant, poked his head out of the railing, stretched his neck and shouted to Bruce across from him: "I said you took it!"
Bruce snorted, shook his head and said: "You don't understand pharmacology at all. Intravenous anesthetics do not contain hallucinogenic ingredients. Even if 80% of anesthetic ingredients flow in my blood vessels now, I can't be half as high as you, drug addict!"
The Joker was shocked.
He was actually scolded by Batman!
And it was because of drug use!
The most outrageous thing is that it was because of drug use!
You can call me evil because I caused a sensation in the city, and you can also denounce me as a lunatic because of the art works I created, but how can you scold me because you suspect that I took drugs.
More importantly, I didn't take drugs!
The Joker glared at Bruce fiercely and said, "Isn't this our great detective who got full marks in pharmacology?! Didn't your knowledge tell you that real drug addicts will have physical reactions in addition to hallucinations? Do you want me to dance for you?"
"You are too ugly, don't pollute my eyes!"
Batman couldn't help but look at the Joker with his peripheral vision.
The Joker covered his eyes with his hands.
Then he pointed his spear at Batman, "Where did you find such an unknown teenager? Or is he your own son?!"
"Ha, do you think he is my father? In addition to being uneducated, do you have bad eyesight? Or do you think that curling your mouth like a bucket will help you be protected by the Romeo Act?"
The Joker glared at Batman, and Batman stared at Bruce.
Bruce, like a real teenager, blew out a breath through his nose, opened his hands and pushed them in front of him, then retracted his hands and turned back and said, "Okay, okay, just think of me as preparing a rap show for the opening of the music festival, two buckets."
The Joker took a deep breath and decided to ignore him. He shook the prison bars vigorously and shouted, "I'm not kidding you, Batman, you should be able to see from my blood test results that I'm not taking drugs at all, everything I said is true!"
"But I don't know if there is any exaggeration." Bruce said again, "You should pay attention to the alcohol content in his blood. I bet that the things he described to you have been exaggerated by at least ten people in the tavern. They walked at night, they saw this, they saw that."
Bruce spread his hands and shrugged and said, "If you believe it, then you should also believe the legends of Mothman and Bigfoot. Anyway, they are all drunk nonsense, which is more interesting."
The Joker didn't even know that Batman had such an annoying age.
Again, Batman is taciturn and doesn't talk nonsense. This is a fact recognized by both the Bat Family and the Joker. But if he finally changes his personality, how many people can argue with him?
For a super genius like Batman, the speed of thinking means that they experience time differently from ordinary people. If they really intend to output a long list of passion, they will even speak faster and more logically than a rapper's improvisation.
"Look, he was originally trapped in the alien's cover, right? There is a war going on there now, with artillery roaring and the sky dark. How could he happen to run to the ceremony site of the Court of Owls?"
"Even if they are not hiding very well, Mr. Joker probably doesn't have any means of magic tracking. Excuse me, he doesn't seem to have anything to do with magic. How could he happen to see his true face at the moment when a certain evil god descended?"
"The rest is even more dramatic. What does he think the evil gods are? A high school student tour group? If four evil gods must be combined to study some conspiracy against you, then I can only say that these gods are really lame. What is there to worry about?"
Bruce's output almost never stopped, and Batman looked at the test results in front of the instrument.
It turned out that neither of them took drugs, which was not unexpected. Batman had known that the Joker did not take drugs, and Bruce was under surveillance throughout the whole process, without the opportunity to use any chemical agents.
More importantly, Batman knew that Bruce was usually like this, and he didn't have to take something to be so annoying, and the same was true for the Joker.
Giving the Joker a blood test was just a cover. Batman had studied the Joker's blood many times. Checking Bruce's blood was the real purpose, because Batman knew that something was fishy.
According to common sense, the shield below has a door, and it is not difficult to find. The Joker may have robbed the opponent's aircraft and flew out of the door to return to Sky Island Gotham.
Then the Batman that Bruce brought back to this universe might have done the same thing, but Batman always felt something was wrong.
The cameras above the sky island and in the hangar did not capture Bruce's flight process. He should have asked the local Batman, but now he is in the hospital, and Thomas and Martha are still by his side.
This makes Batman suspect that this situation may be caused by Bruce on purpose, deliberately bringing the local Batman back, taking advantage of Thomas and Martha's pity and weakness, so that he cannot get close to the only witness.
Another very suspicious point is that Tim did push Bruce off the cliff under Batman's arrangement, successfully subdued him, and brought him back to the Batcave.
But according to the monitor on Tim, Bruce hardly resisted. Even if the moment of being pushed down was not expected, with Batman's reaction ability, it was definitely enough to do something in mid-air.
And Bruce's recovery ability is a bit too amazing. He just shot himself in the Penguin's office, underwent more than 20 hours of surgery, and soon appeared in Wayne Manor alive and kicking.
The most conclusive evidence is that when Batman investigated the previous incident, he went to the hospital where Bruce had surgery. The hospital would leave a report during the consultation, which contained the imaging data of Bruce's examination.
The imaging data of the nervous system showed that Bruce had five pairs of thoracic nerves with abnormal development. Doctors believed that this was the cause of Bruce's delay in waking up, but Batman saw that the tangled nerves were useful.
Now looking closely at the information, Batman discovered the details that the doctors didn't care about. The abnormality of the five pairs of abnormal thoracic nerves was that they continued to extend to the epidermis, with a total of 140 pairs of peripheral nerves.
Judging from the distribution of peripheral nerves, this is probably a functional evolution, that is, this is not a disease, but a new organ evolved to adapt to something.
This reminded Batman of the scene on Apocalypse.
The Hell Bat armor he wore at the time was driven by his blood and anger, which caused his perspective to be different from usual, or in other words, he almost completely lost his vision at that time, with only a blood-red color in front of his eyes.
But he vaguely remembered that he was not fighting alone.
Batman actually believed what the Joker said, not only because his understanding of the Joker made him understand that the Joker would not lie about such things.
He had long seen through that the Joker's recent actions were aimed at tracking something. If he came to him so hurriedly, it meant that he had caught up and found the right person.
But Bruce's attitude was a bit strange. He was desperately refuting what the Joker said, trying to describe him as a hidden gentleman or a drunkard.
In fact, compared with the Joker's bizarre description, Bruce's unprovoked aggression was even more untenable, which would only make Batman suspect that all this might be related to him.
If you want more truth, you have to take more risks. Batman understands this better than anyone else, so he made a bold decision - completely selfless, absolutely just to seek the truth, not against anyone.
He planned to let the Joker and Bruce go down to find the owl together.
The Joker has always been a person with rich expressions, and Batman has seen too many of his smiles. Even so, Batman also saw today that the Joker can have richer expressions.
With a scientific heart, Batman decided to see if the Joker could show more expressions in the next adventure and where his limit was, so this plan was absolutely scientific, at least exploratory.
"You two go down." Batman said, "Find the members of the Court of Owls and bring them to me, and then I will decide whether to cooperate with any of you."
The Joker shook his head faster than a rattle.
"Look, I said he was lying!" Bruce yelled immediately.
The Joker looked at Batman, and Batman decided to stand aside. The Joker's eyes were full of sadness and anger of betrayal. He really couldn't believe that his Batman decided to let him go with this damn teenager to find evidence.
"Then let's do it." The Joker stared at Bruce fiercely. As soon as they landed, they parted ways. No one could practice their rap skills on him. Even if he was really a shovel, he would slam Bruce into the ground and he couldn't get out.
"I have no objection." Bruce propped his elbows on the crossbar of the cage, his palms resting on his head, and then he said.
"But we all know him. This madman will definitely find ways to get rid of my supervision and forge evidence."
Batman and the Joker stared at him, as if they wanted to know what he had to say.
"So I propose..." Bruce pointed at himself and the Joker and said, "You should perform an operation on the two of us, put two bombs in our hearts, and explode on the spot as long as they are more than ten meters apart, so that no one can escape."
The Joker looked at him with wide eyes.
Bruce lowered his head and smiled, raised his head and looked at the Joker with smiling eyes and said, "Why are you so serious?"
