Chapter 3267 Bloody New City (XVI)
Nightwing, who rushed into the cave with equipment and weapons, slammed on the brakes and used his arm holding the gun to stop the people behind him. He instinctively felt that something was wrong.
This crazy laughter has not echoed over Gotham for so long that people have forgotten the dangers that this madness brings.
But Nightwing never forgets.
The Dick Grayson in this universe is not the first Robin, but Jason Todd is. Nightwing knows this, and he once asked Batman where his predecessor went.
Batman did not explain much, but through subsequent hints, Nightwing knew that Batman's first assistant Robin was killed by the Joker.
From then on, the Joker was not only Batman's nightmare, but also Nightwing's. He knew that if he wanted to stand with Batman, he would have to face this terrifying madman sooner or later.
But he never thought that this day would come so soon.
He watched as the skin on the female figure in front of him healed rapidly, but still left mottled scars, and her hair grew out, but it was a bright green color.
In the blink of an eye, Nightwing saw a dark shadow flash past him, and his companion behind him yelled.
"Watch out! He's coming!"
Shila-
The sudden braking left a charred mark on the ground from the tires. Bruce's forehead hit the glass and it swelled up instantly. He covered his head and was about to ask the Pale Knight why he braked, but he saw him bend down in pain.
"What's wrong with you?!" Bruce quickly reached out to help him, but was pushed away by the Pale Knight. He took a deep breath and said, "What did Schiller give me? Why can't I feel the effect of the medicine?"
"He mixed something special into your medicine...Oh my god, that means you only took half the medicine!"
A continuous exhalation sound began to come from the Pale Knight's throat, as if he wanted to laugh but couldn't. His lungs became like a bellows, constantly rising and falling to force out the air.
Bruce hurriedly took out the bottle of medicine from the drawer in the front of the car, wanting the Pale Knight to take the medicine, but after lying there for a while, the Pale Knight raised his head in a daze.
"Hurry up, your medicine..."
The Pale Knight shook his head slightly and said, "Something is wrong. It's a little strange. He...he seems to be getting weak..."
"Who?"
"Joker." The Pale Knight took a deep breath and said, "When there is no drug to suppress him, he will always fight with me for control of my body, but this time the time is so short, he is becoming weaker and weaker."
There was doubt in the Pale Knight's tone, but Bruce seemed to have thought of something. He had seen Schiller walk out of the room where the Joker was imprisoned with a syringe filled with blood-red liquid. Could that thing be the Joker's blood?
Bruce patted the pale knight's shoulder gently, and then said, "You are not in good condition. Let me drive."
The Pale Knight was indeed a little weak, so he switched positions with Bruce. Bruce started the car and drove out of the valley.
When he reached the valley, the ominous premonition became stronger and stronger. He said to the Pale Knight: "The clown in you will not become weaker for no reason. If there must be a reason, it may be that a new clown has been born."
The Pale Knight looked at him in shock.
Bruce got out of the car, slammed the door, walked to the side of the Pale Knight, and said to him through the car window: "You can't leave now, because if you meet the new Joker, the Joker in your body will most likely use all his strength to seize control of your body and kill the new Joker, which will cause great harm to you."
Bruce added in his mind, "The key is that the Joker in your body may not be able to defeat the New Joker. The damage caused by the drugs to the body is shared by both parties."
"No." I had to go to the Pale Rider and say, "I have to find out what's going on. This is very important."
Bruce wanted to persuade her again, but at this time the roar of an engine sounded behind him and a dark car drove over.
The other party obviously recognized them. The Batmobile slowly stopped next to the car driven by Bruce, and Batman lowered the window.
Bruce immediately realized that this was a good opportunity. He turned to Batman and said, "The Joker in the White Knight is getting weaker because a new Joker has been born. We suspect it's Maria. Are you here for this?"
Batman paused for a moment, then said, "I received a message from Nightwing asking for help. He said he saw the Joker. I thought it was you."
"I'm afraid it's worse than this." Bruce said, "Someone created a new Joker because the Joker in the Pale Knight was unwilling to cooperate, and it's stronger than the one in the Pale Knight."
Bruce opened the door and pulled the White Knight out, regardless of whether Batman was willing or not, and pushed him to the side of the Batmobile and said, "You have to keep an eye on him. Don't let the two clowns fight, otherwise the whole city will be destroyed."
"Where are you going?" the Pale Knight looked at Bruce and asked.
"Don't you understand yet?" Bruce sat in the driver's seat with a bit of helplessness, and then said: "This clown is not evolved naturally, but artificially created. This means that something more terrifying than the clown is now moving freely in the city. What do you think I am going to do?"
Batman obviously hesitated. He thought Bruce was talking nonsense. How could the Joker be artificially created? But the scene described by Nightwing did look like the Joker's resurrection, and the Pale Knight was standing here, which made him believe what Bruce said.
The door of the Batmobile opened and Batman looked at the Pale Knight and said, "Get in. After I leave, I will lock the car so that even if the Joker takes your body, he can't leave this car."
Bruce threw the medicine to the Pale Knight through the car window and said, "Now is not the time to consider side effects. Let's delay a little longer."
After saying that, he turned around and drove away. The Pale Knight looked a little helpless as he watched him leave.
He had already guessed who the person who created the Joker was that Bruce was talking about, and this made him feel for the first time that he was inviting a wolf into the house.
Schiller did weaken the Joker, but don't worry about how.
Bruce drove into the city. He thought to himself that although the Pale Knight was not the Joker, he was not Batman either. Greed was very similar to the Joker, so it was even less likely that he was Batman. He was no longer Batman.
Now there is only one Batman in this city, the one he just saw. According to the correspondence principle between Batman and the Joker, this means there can only be one Joker in this city.
This is Schiller's idea of weakening the Joker in the Pale Knight's body. Maria was pushed into the chemical pool by Harley and suffered serious injuries. She was then injected with the Joker's blood by Schiller.
This means that she meets the Joker's two main conditions, one is falling into a chemical pool, and the other is possessing the Dionysus factor, and she has even gained Batman's attention to a great extent.
The Pale Knight has been taking drugs to suppress the Joker in his body, while Maria was Batman's main enemy some time ago, completely replacing the Joker's ecological niche.
In this way, Maria met all three conditions - falling near a chemical pool, being infected with the Joker virus, and being watched by Batman.
She deserves to be the new Joker.
And because there can only be one Joker, once she becomes the new Joker, the Joker in Pale Knight will gradually fade away.
Bruce had to admit that this was an effective method, because if there was destined to be a Joker, as long as it was not the Pale Knight, they would have kept a good guy and not had an extra bad guy.
But is this a method that humans can come up with? Is this something that humans can do?
But Bruce knew that he was the one with the least right to blame Schiller because he had done the same thing.
At the fork in the road, Bruce slowed down slightly. He was wondering where Schiller would be, in Arkham Asylum? Or in Wayne Manor?
In fact, neither of them is true. Schiller is now in the laboratory of Mr. Freeze's Victor Freese.
Taking advantage of the opportunity when Maria transformed into the Joker, he rescued Victor. The Victor in this universe was much more experienced than the Victor in the universe of Pride, and it seemed that he was not having a good life.
Schiller poured a cup of hot coffee and placed it in front of Victor, then said, "That's probably what happened. I need to deal with that cunning thief. As long as you are willing to help me, your laboratory will receive long-term and effective funding."
Victor was packing up his things. He said, "You should know that I am not the same as those lunatics in Arkham Asylum. I am a normal person. I don't want to attack anyone with anything I made."
"That's exactly why I came to you. If I wanted to kill that thief, I would have gone to Bane. I hope to control him, not hurt him."
"I will not give you cryogenic weapons."
Schiller said very sincerely: "Even if you give it to me, I won't be able to use it. My shooting skills are terrible, so I hope you can take your equipment and go with me."
"Also, I think the gun is a bit too aggressive. It would be better if there was an ice trap or something."
"Your definition of aggression is really different from that of an average person." Victor was obviously a little shaken. He said, "For this, you are willing to give me $20? That's $20."
"As I said, it's more than this money. If the results are good enough, I am sure I can convince Batman to fund your laboratory long-term."
"I won't work for him." Victor shook his head. He seemed very sober. He said, "Batman is the kind of person who will become anxious and crazy if he can't completely control this weapon. I don't want to bear his madness."
"Then how about the city government funding it and the Pale Knight paying for it?"
"Do you think I don't know the situation in the city government? The Pale Knight means well, but he has no money at all."
"Then where do I get 20 yuan from?"
Victor glanced at Schiller and said, "You are the kind of person who can be seen to have never been short of money."
"You are very good at judging people, so are you willing to trade with me?"
Victor took a deep breath and said, "I do need some money to upgrade the security equipment in the laboratory. I don't want to be kidnapped again."
"Then I am willing to contact GTO and ask them to provide you with long-term security services at the city government's expense."
"GTO is about to change owners. Can you convince its new owner?"
"I won't ask you how a simple physicist can be so well-informed. If you want, I can do it."
Victor hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, but I won't go to Wayne Manor in person. I don't want to offend Batman. I'll give you a small freezing device. You just need to put it on the path that the thief must take. It will ensure that he can be controlled."
"Won't hurt anyone?"
"No, and it will be able to control him for at least two days. He will be completely unable to move, but he can speak."
"Great, deal. Any gifts?"
"What gift do you want?"
"How about that?" Schiller pointed to something in the corner of the lab.
"That?" Victor looked back and found that Schiller was pointing at a high-powered ultraviolet flashlight.
