Gotham is a city built on the coast. The entire city is surrounded by sea water. It is precisely because of this that it was able to develop through the shipping industry in the past. However, the disadvantage of this terrain is that it is not connected with the land. There are only 7 cross-sea bridges, undersea tunnels, and overhead railway tracks directly connected. .

The threat of the Joker is very real. Even Gotham's great hero Harvey Dent was plotted by him. Now he does not know whether he is alive or dead. After this news came, the confidence of the entire Gotham was severely hit. Although the city's The mayor also announced that he had been kidnapped but returned safely after being rescued by the police. He also transferred 500 National Guard troops into the city in an attempt to save the city's confidence. However, this series of measures only made the city The city has recovered slightly from the brink of collapse.

And now, the Joker has once again issued a threat, this time to the entire Gotham... Almost everyone who could move took action, and the tickets for all the ships docked at the Gotham Pier were sold out within an hour. Some people even started a business of transporting people away in small yachts, and the train station was overcrowded.

But the throughput of Gotham Port, which has become increasingly chaotic recently, is far from meeting the city's needs.

There are 800 million people here, and even if only one third wants to escape from this city, the terrible flow of people will be an extremely serious challenge to the city's public transportation construction.

Two hours later, night fell in Gotham, and the helpless citizens had no choice but to take risks and choose tunnels and bridges. Unfortunately, the mayor has announced that no one can pass through bridges and tunnels... This is of course for the sake of their lives. For safety's sake, Mayor Nester really didn't want to see news of anyone getting hurt anymore.

He sent the National Guard to bridges and tunnels, using instruments to detect explosives, almost inch by inch, to detect danger in every place. Two armored vehicles blocked the front of the bridge, and the soldiers set up a defense line with live ammunition. They were preparing Prevent the occurrence of impactful events. In this case, once chaos occurs, the terrible consequences will be much more terrible than a real explosion.

The entire city's traffic lines have been completely paralyzed. People who tried to drive out of the city made a big mistake. The crowded traffic flow has spread from the port area to the central area. Everyone is honking their horns frantically, knowing that no one will give way to them. There is no way to give way, but the inherent despicability of human nature is undoubtedly displayed at this moment.

On both sides of the road, there are guys struggling with each other everywhere, with the shadow of death surrounding their heads, laughing wildly. This pressure almost destroys everyone's fragile spirit. It only takes one spark for this destroyed chaos to evolve. Clash for blood, and then like a spark, start a prairie fire of more enemies across the city.

The whole city was in a state of panic, and the Gotham Police Department's alarm phone number was rang within 15 minutes. After Wurz's death, the completely frightened gangsters surrendered to the Joker, and under the new boss, they Under the orders of the police, they launched a crazy attack and kidnapped everyone who could be kidnapped.

There were gunshots everywhere, and some people took the opportunity to rob, rape, and do things they wouldn't dare to do on ordinary days. The chaos aroused people's despicable desires, like adding fuel to the fire.

You see, what the clown said is actually not unreasonable... Under the rapid development of civilization, what is hidden is an increasingly fragile human heart. You know, in the barbaric era, there was no such thing as madness. In that era, people like the clown, Maybe he will be regarded as a prophet.

But when the bright and bright coat is pulled off in a crazy way, and the true self is exposed to the sun, is this evolution... or degeneration?

This is what the clown wants, to show the ugliest and funniest side of the entire social order in front of everyone. He doesn’t need their money, he doesn’t need their lives, he just wants to destroy everyone’s spirit. .

Gotham on this day was like a real hell on earth.

In the dock area, the passenger ship named "Brave" slowly docked. This is a hired ship of the Gotham Port Authority. It was originally used to transport goods and dock workers. Now it was urgently mobilized to transport these citizens and has been waiting on the shore. Cheers came from the crowd on the side. They crowded together on the railing of the pier and waved the banknotes in their hands.

The captain proudly said to the first mate,

"It's really hard to get a ticket...I told you that you would be in good hands if you came to Gotham. Dock! Double the ticket...No, no, no, triple! We can make another trip before midnight, next time trip…"

The captain squinted his eyes and looked at the crazy people on the dock. He couldn't even see the side. A sharp light flashed in his eyes.

"Ten times!"

However, good things cannot always go to one person. The moment the "Brave" docked, more than a dozen police cars with live ammunition escorted 7 large prison cars parked at the port. The heavily armed police fired shots into the air. It took several days. It took several minutes to clear a path at the dock.

Then the National Guard escorted the mortals wearing orange prison uniforms and chained shackles out of the prison cars. At the front, Mayor Nestor's assistant said forcefully to the captain of the Brave,

"This is an emergency, your ship has been commandeered!"

"Why? This is illegal!"

The captain shouted, clearly there was a chance to make a lot of money, but he encountered such a thing, how could he not go crazy, but the next moment, a major of the National Guard came over, holding a pistol in his hand, looking at it indifferently Looking at the captain,

"We have been ordered to escort a group of dangerous prisoners out of Gotham. If you don't plan to sail the boat, you can come down. I have people who can sail the boat... Do you understand? You are not a necessity here!"

"But why?"

The captain gritted his teeth and was unwilling to give in. He pointed at the citizens waving their hands crazily at the dock, and then at the prisoners being escorted into the cabin.

"Are the lives of citizens not as valuable as those damn scum?"

"No matter what the Joker is planning, he has gathered the remaining power of the entire Gotham gang. Keeping these people related to the gang in Gotham is simply a time bomb..."

The mayor's assistant patted the captain on the shoulder and whispered,

"Help, man, if everything goes well, I can apply for privilege terms from the Port Authority on your behalf!"

The captain's eyes suddenly lit up. He looked up at the darkening night. He pursed his lips. The mayor's assistant took out his pocket watch and looked at the time.

"It's 9:34 pm now. If we're quick enough, you can come back and try again... No one has trouble with money, right?"

"Okay! Let them come quickly, we will sail in 5 minutes!"

On the other side, a cruise ship full of lucky Gotham locals also moved offshore. Everything seemed so normal, except that the government saw the prisoners sent away first, but left the citizens at the dock. Apart from the dissatisfied shouts of people, everything seemed to be in harmony.

In the basement of Wayne Tower, Lucius was busy manipulating the giant sonar in front of him that monitored the entire city. The ultrasonic and sound collection system built through the mobile phones in the entire city. This young man is now the uncrowned king of Gotham. As long as he If he is willing, even the secrets hidden by the mayor cannot be hidden from his eyes and ears.

But Lucius wouldn't do that...

"Found it, Wayne!"

Lucius turned on the contact device in his ear. He locked the ultrasonic frequency band in a fixed area and kept narrowing it down. Finally, he reported a location.

"Fourth Avenue in the dock area, near the construction area of ​​Narrow Island. If I remember correctly, that should be the construction site of the new Pier 21 that Wayne Industries plans to build. He is on the 14th floor... Oh, by the way, there are many hostages there. , conservatively estimated to be over 40 people, children, women, and members of the Clown Gang are watching them... No matter what you plan to do, you'd better rescue them first!"

"Roger that!"

Bruce's voice came out, and under the dim night, the Batmobile started up in the dark alley and sped towards the dock area.

Lucius put down the communicator. He looked at the screen in front of him, and there was a trace of struggle on his face. Finally, he picked up the phone and made a call.

"He was in the construction zone on Fourth Avenue in the Docklands..."

Lucius whispered into the microphone, "Seb, Bruce rushed over, but I'm worried that he will make the same choice. You are right, Joker... A dangerous person like him should not continue to exist. "

"Very well, Lucius...I won't give him another chance this time."

The long knife that had been wiped clean reflected Seber's eyes. They were cold eyes. When a person makes up his mind, you can see it in his eyes. Eyes will never deceive.

"click"

With the long knife in its sheath, Seb put down his cell phone and clasped the ghost mask on his face. He looked back and saw a dark red figure reflected in the mirror in the dark living room of the villa.

The mottled mask, the slender armor, and the trembling dark red cloak. In the darkness, he let out a deep laugh, opened the door, took a deep breath, and strode into the darkness.

"Are the prisoners still quiet?"

The captain of the Brave took a sip of wine and looked at the first mate beside him, who nodded, "More than 20 soldiers looked at them. The Gotham government is serious this time, and the safety on their guns was turned on." .”

"Well, well, let's speed up, I really don't want those scum staying on my ship."

The captain snorted and turned the control lever, but the next moment, all the lights on the Braveheart dimmed, and then came back on again a moment later. The light was much dimmed. The captain was stunned for a moment and shouted loudly,

"What's going on? Why did you switch the backup power supply?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the boatswain rushed over with an anxious look on his face.

"Captain! Captain! Our engine failed! Some wires were cut and I saw him jump overboard! That bastard! He's got us trapped here!"

"what?"

When the captain heard this, he suddenly turned around and saw that the cruise ship that had been traveling alongside them had also stopped. All the lights on the deck went out. He could still vaguely see several people jumping from the deck. They also encountered Same thing.

"What's going on, who can tell me?"

The captain shouted, and the boatswain thrust a box into his hand. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I found this in the cabin!"

At the same moment, the radio was turned on on the Brave and the cruise ship, and the voice that brought terrible disaster to Gotham sounded again, exploding in everyone's hearts like a bomb.

"Hi, ladies and gentlemen... Hello, I am the host of tonight's game, you can call me the joker!"

"Tonight you will be participating in one of my social experiments, and with the magic of diesel and ammonium nitrate explosives, I am ready to blow you all up... Don't try to find the location of the bomb, it was placed there only I know, and who If you try to get off the ship, if I see you, you will all die!"

"Brave and Flying, you are the participants I have chosen to participate in the experiment. Listen to me... listen to me patiently. Each ship has a detonator, but be careful, it can detonate another ship. It's 10:17 PM and when midnight comes, I'm going to blow you all away."

On the yacht Flying, a young girl screamed, and the entire ship fell into madness instantly. On the Brave, when the first prisoner stood up, the indifferent major pointed his gun at him and opened the door. Insurance,

"You! Sit down!"

Before the clown finished speaking, he seemed to feel the restlessness of the two ships. After a few seconds, he spoke again,

"But...but, if one of the ships detonates the other party first, I will be merciful and let this ship survive. So, which ship will it be? Who will survive? Is it a damn scum or an innocent person?" citizens?”

His teasing voice was full of ridicule,

"Look, I said I wanted you to participate in the game. Now it's up to you to choose the fate of more than 400 people!"

"Oh, by the way... maybe you should choose quickly, because the people on the other ship may not be as noble as you... Putting your life in the hands of others is really stupid, isn't it?"
