Chapter 2157: Battle of Two Cities! (Twenty-Four)
The Joker roams in the new city.
He has a goal that all the lunatics in Arkham don't know about, and he wants to investigate something that has always confused him.
The Joker feels that he has lost something.
This Joker can be called the darkest and craziest Joker because he has no origin story.
The Joker of the New 52 Universe debuted as Red Hood No. 1. This Red Hood is not Jason, but the boss of the Red Hood Gang, the leader of a gang organization.
The Red Hood Gang targeted Bruce Wayne and forced him into danger several times until Batman appeared.
Batman defeated Red Hood No. 1, he fell into the chemical pool, and then turned into the Joker. This is the entire background story of the New 52 Joker.
Without the worst day, the childhood of the New 52 Joker was full of misfortune, but it can also be said that he was born a bad seed. He shaped his own evil and chose the path he wanted to take.
After the Joker appeared, he became Batman's number one enemy and created countless major cases in Gotham. Originally, everything was normal until one day it became abnormal.
Recently, the Joker has been having a dream. He dreamed that he was broken into tens of thousands of pieces, floating in the galaxy, and then reassembled.
He dreamed that he was not himself now, and he was not himself before. He had a past that was even more past, but now all of that disappeared.
There was no trace, no one around him realized it, but the Joker's genius and sensitivity, which were at the same level as his madness, made him realize that he must have lost something.
The next thing was very simple. He needed to find the difference between the two universes, the difference between the Batman of the two universes, and the difference between the Joker of the two universes. He chose to investigate the Joker in this new city first.
The Joker didn't know exactly what stage the Joker in this universe had developed to. Maybe he hadn't appeared yet, or maybe he was already Batman's mortal enemy.
To find the first clue of the investigation, the best way is to read the news, because if the Joker appeared, there would be no major case caused by him in the news.
The Joker walked to the newsstand on the street, knocked on the window and bought a newspaper. He was not in the mood to threaten anyone for the time being, so he squatted in the corner of an alley and started flipping through the newspaper.
The cover of the newspaper shocked him. The Brooklyn Bridge collapsed. Although the Joker didn't know the Brooklyn Bridge, he knew it must be a major event. Could it be an explosion created by the universe itself?
The Joker patiently flipped through the newspaper and read the dense text carefully. Then he found that he might be illiterate.
He knew what every word on it meant, but it was a bit difficult to read them together.
What does "SHIELD witnessed the Green Goblin kidnapping the Hulk while chasing the criminal who angered the Hulk, causing the middle section of the Brooklyn Bridge to be torn apart, carrying the wizard killer Captain America and SHIELD agents on the bridge to Manhattan and crashed on the 79th floor of the Stark Building, causing the mysterious superhero to return the Stark Building to the Gotham Pier"?
Although it was difficult to speculate on the specific circumstances of this case, the Joker knew that this should not be an explosion created by himself. He continued to flip down and saw the large-scale power outage on Geer Street.
After reading it carefully, he found that it had nothing to do with him. He also saw the case of a large amount of sand and soil accumulation in the port and the attack on the sugar factory. It didn't look like the Joker did it.
Turning it over, more bizarre cases appeared in front of the Joker, such as the explosion of the parking lot, the explosion of the underground tunnel, the explosion of the top floor of the TV station, and the explosion of the ice cream truck. There were more than 50 explosions in total, but there was no trace of the Joker in any of them.
Very good, it seems that the Joker has not become a Joker yet. This was the Joker's first reaction, but he soon felt that this speculation was not accurate because the competitive intensity of this city was a bit too high.
The Joker is a human being. In theory, he has to buy food and cook, fill his stomach, sleep and rest, and watch TV in between making explosions.
This is why Spider-Man was able to cause so much trouble to the Joker before. Spider-Man only took care of the Joker's spare time, and spare time is also an important part of the Joker's life.
But if there are more than 50 large-scale explosions in a city in one day, the Joker calculated that if he made explosions 24 hours a day without sleep, he would only make three decent cases at most. He would probably be completely submerged in the ocean of explosion news, and reporters might not have time to report him.
The Joker took a detailed look at all the murderers of the explosions introduced in this newspaper. There was no interest appeal, no suffering plot. Half of them were mutants with out-of-control abilities, half were superpowered criminals trying to show their presence, and a very small part was a superhero team struggle.
The Joker really couldn't stand this boring newspaper. He couldn't find any clues in the news, so he could only go to a few places where the Joker often appeared.
When mentioning the Joker, many people may think of the chemical plant, but in fact the Joker neither lives in the chemical plant nor often goes to the chemical plant. That was just a moment in his life.
The Joker put himself in his own situation and felt that he should only be able to live in a slum house in this universe, so he walked towards the place with the most dense population.
However, judging from the style of the nearby buildings and the cars parked on the roadside, this should be a wealthy area and is still some distance away from the slums.
As soon as he turned a corner, the Joker saw a police car with a familiar police badge. It was obviously from the Gotham Police Department. There was also a car parked next to him that he was not familiar with in terms of appearance, but it could It was deduced that it probably belonged to a certain secret service organization.
Staring at the shield-shaped logo, the clown narrowed his eyes. Judging from the state of the agents standing next to the car, this will not be an easy organization to deal with, because these agents are more like hungry eyes than messengers of justice. A green wolf.
The clown stood in the shadow of the alley, only sticking out half of his face to see the situation on the street. He heard a voice say among the noisy sirens and noise.
"I really didn't expect that their killer was hidden here. If it hadn't been for that...mutant? Suddenly going crazy, we might not have been able to find them out."
The Joker saw a strong man in a suit standing behind the car, his hair meticulously combed, and he heard the police officer next to him call him Detective Bullock. Another man dressed more casually stood against the guardrail, with short hair and a strong build. He said to Bullock: "Mr. Bullock, I have to correct your view on mutants. They are indeed somewhat unstable. , but if the fighter plane with the bat pattern hadn't suddenly fallen, he wouldn't have gone crazy because of the stimulation."
"But our guys are seeing mechas around, from...Iron Man? Is that the name? Maybe they had a little skirmish in the air, Mr. Coulson, maybe S.H.I.E.L.D. should issue a new air safety policy Regulations.”
"We will." Before Coulson got into SHIELD's car, he turned to look at Bullock and said, "And the toy murder that happened in this neighborhood was probably not the work of mutants."
SHIELD's car sped away, and Bullock's face darkened. It doesn't mean that he must compete with SHIELD in terms of urban security, but if the troubles encountered by the two parties are entangled, there must be one party. Take primary responsibility.
Bullock waved his hand to his men, and the killer who was hit by the tranquilizer dart was carried into the escort vehicle behind. The killer had a claw pattern on his arm, which obviously came from the mysterious organization that had just been discovered and investigated. Court of Owls.
After the car escorting the killer left the street, Bullock called another subordinate and said: "Where is the criminal named Toy Man? He is really unlucky. Such a thing happened on the way to escort. How long will he stay here?" "
"His prison van has been waiting here for half an hour, Mr. Detective." The regional sheriff glanced at his watch and said, "The road ahead is blocked by that organization called SHIELD. There is no A car can drive by, and he can only wait there. "
"What did he do?"
"He could make movable toys, and he used the toys to sneak into his neighbors' homes and kill their newborn babies and their dogs, but when we went to arrest him, he didn't resist."
"He's sitting there talking nonsense about how he's the best toy designer in the world, and the neighbor kids are throwing his toys to their dogs, so he deserves to die."
Bullock had a headache and covered his forehead. He stopped what the detective was going to say and said: "Okay, you know these things and I know them. Don't let SHIELD know about it. You must know this city called New York." Although the chaos is shocking, when it comes to psychopathy, Gotham has to be better.”
After saying that, he waved his hand and asked the detective to quickly sort out the traffic situation in front of him so that the prison car with the toy man could drive by. This guy was because of the sudden crash of the Bat fighter and the mutants stimulated by the Bat fighter, as well as The melee has been delayed here for half an hour in order to fight against the claws of the mutants who revealed their identity.
There are queues to transport criminals these days. Bullock sighed in his heart, but didn't take it seriously. He turned and walked towards the other side of the street.
"No!!!!!!"
The detective's screams came, and Bullock hurriedly ran over, but all he saw was the open door of the prison van, the empty interior of the prison van, the escorting police officer lying next to him covered in blood, and a handful of blood-covered police officers. steel fork.
Bang!
There was an explosion on the other side of the street. Bullock, who was already frightened, glanced at the crime scene here, but decided to rush to the explosion site first. The crowd there had not been evacuated. Once an explosion occurred, more people would be endangered. Many people.
The sergeant and the surviving police officers also took out their pistols and ran over. After a while, the clown's figure appeared in front of the prison car door. He bent down and picked up a hair from the back of the police officer's body.
He gently turned his fingers, and the hair flickered under the light of the street lamp. Through the weak reflection, the clown saw that it was a long green hair.
The clown showed a playful smile. It seemed that his other self had become the clown. Then he looked down at the corpse on the ground. Is this his debut?
The clown turned around but was stunned again, because he saw half a footprint on the edge of the blood on the police officer's chest.
On the soft soil next to the fatal wound of the corpse, his steps were steady and strong, and his footprints were clearly visible. He wished he could write down the size of his shoes, his dressing style, and his focus on walking on the ground.
The clown was just about to get closer to see if the footprints were left intentionally by the other party, when he heard some movement on the roof of the house.
The clown subconsciously shrank his neck, bent down and got into the prison car, closed the door on one side with his hand, huddled in the corner of the door and looked out.
A familiar figure fell to the ground, and the Joker found that it was Bruce Wayne.
He knew that Batman could never let the Joker go. He must have been chasing the Joker non-stop, and found evidence of the Joker's crimes here again.
Found evidence of the Joker's crimes.
Found the Joker's crimes...
Found...
Find...
Batman didn't find it.
Batman turned and left.
The Joker was stunned.
