Chapter 71 Betrayal
For the first time, a look of horror appeared on Chen Tao's face.
He saw the pale man who had pushed aside the claws and emerged.
The same.
"That's impossible."
He said it firmly.
"Are you surprised to see me? Cute little bat?"
Chen Tao stared into the Joker's eyes. He told himself that he was just a human, the Joker from the comics, he...
Chen Tao possesses the memories of the Broken Bat.
Before his spine was broken by Bane and he suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Angel of Death, Broken Bat Bruce Wayne's life trajectory was almost exactly the same as that of the main universe's Batman. Therefore, he had also studied human eyes, just like the real Batman.
Thanks to him, even ordinary people like Chen Tao, who have never studied criminal psychology, know that there are six types of eye movements that can reveal a person's motives, and each type has 15 variations.
No matter who you are facing, even the most hardened criminal, your pupils will contract or dilate depending on your emotions.
Happiness, joy, delight, pupils dilate.
Fear, anger, hatred, pupils constrict.
But the person in front of me is different.
His pupils remained constant, always tiny black dots. The owner of those eyes hated everything in the world. No light could penetrate those eyes. He stared straight at you through the darkness, each pupil a tiny black pearl fixed in space, a bullet aimed at you.
These eyes tell him he is no ordinary person...
But Chen Tao understands him.
He was just a human being who had fallen into a barrel of chemical waste.
He had already killed the Joker.
But... the person here was standing right in front of him.
Was he a copycat? Or did he kill the wrong person from the start?
The clown walked out with a grin, and his appearance made the moonlight seem a little colder.
He laughed exaggeratedly, making a ridiculous court jester-like bowing gesture, more like a dance than a walk: "Ah, great court! I am truly honored to be here to witness this great comedy!"
"A timeless masterpiece: The Fall of the Knight!"
His small, green eyes, brimming with malice, glared at Chen Tao: "The death of the superhero—Batman!"
Poison Ivy felt suffocated.
She waved her arms, causing various plants to wrap Harley Quinn up like a silkworm, layer upon layer.
She has to prevent Harley from seeing the Joker again.
"Damn it, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I still have to say it, Batman probably won't win this time."
Poison Ivy noticed the Penguin sneaking up beside her: "I admit Batman has a lot of amazing little abilities that we didn't know about before, but as you saw, his black sand suit is completely useless against those muscle freaks."
The Penguin wiped his sweat: "I know Batman is amazing, but we have to use normal logic. Unless Batman has some unknown backup plan, it's not like he just did it. Just killing one of them and cutting open his head took so much time and effort."
"There are at least dozens of people here. Do you really think he and we alone can take them all down?"
He spoke rapidly to Poison Ivy, "Batman was tricked, don't you know that? We've done things like this before, hiding information from Batman and then launching a surprise attack."
He said, "Sometimes Batman can break through our defenses with brute force, but other times he will also have to leave in a sorry state."
I know the same strategy won't work for Batman a second time, and I'm well aware that when Batman comes back, he'll be unstoppable. But I feel that if Batman fails here once, we might not even last until he comes back again!
He said in a low voice.
This time, he sold out Klein directly, and right in front of the victim, which is equivalent to making a huge enemy of Scarecrow. Given Scarecrow's groveling attitude towards the Court of Owls, who knows what he might do to him.
"Ivy, I'll give you the money. When the fighting starts, just take the plants, grab me and Harley, and run..."
The Penguin wiped the sweat from his brow, his chubby jaw jiggling with his rapid-fire speech: "Even if Batman loses, he can just pack up and run. Leaving us behind is a disaster. Ivy, you'd better start thinking!"
Chen Tao overheard the Penguin's escape plan, but remained noncommittal. The Penguin, too, hadn't expected to outmaneuver Chen Tao on such a vast battlefield; he knew Batman wouldn't kill him for that alone. So, without hesitation or pretense, he unleashed his true Arkham nature.
Chen Tao ignored him, he just stared coldly at the clown, who was laughing so hard he almost fell over.
"See that? A bat, hahaha, hahaha, hahaha!"
It was obvious that he had overheard Poison Ivy and Copperfield's conversation.
Those eyes gleamed with a wicked light, a deep, pure malice.
"That concludes the pleasantries, Batman."
The white owl masked figure on Lincoln March's arm guard said, "Joker, we've granted your request, let you see your Batman and talk to him for a while. But now, you know..."
It's noon.
Batman... the Court of Owls sentences you to death!
"etc!"
The man in the white owl mask raised his hand, about to swing it down, when Chen Tao stopped him with a shout: "Oh, do you have any last words?"
Chen Tao sighed softly.
"I'm so annoyed by owls."
The black sand slowly enveloped Chen Tao and landed on the ground.
Unnoticed by anyone, next to the owl's talons whose skull had been ripped open by Chen Tao, strands of black nanobots were moving inwards...
Chen Tao said to Bain, "Bain, you owe me a favor, and now it's time to repay it."
The clown looked around as Chen Tao and Bane talked, then pulled a small handkerchief from one of his pockets and put it in his mouth.
"You really believe I'll pay you back?"
Bain spoke. From the moment he spoke until now, apart from saying his first sentence, he had remained silent, as solemn as the Eiffel Tower, completely like an accompaniment to the Court of Owls and the Joker.
"Why don't you think I'm deceiving you with my words?"
"Bane, you still owe Batman a favor?" the white owl masked man said. "You didn't mention this at all when you were discussing cooperation with us."
What exactly happened?
"It's a common occurrence," Bane said. "Batman saved my life."
"That's quite common," said the man in the white owl mask. "Batman has saved a lot of people; we're almost used to it."
"Bane, it's time to repay this favor."
Chen Tao continued, "If you can return it to me now, it will solve my problem."
"What are you thinking about?"
Bain said, "I warned you then and there that you saved a viper, and we'll always be enemies. Did you really think I would betray an ally for you?"
He said:
"It's obvious..."
The next second, with a whooshing sound, he grabbed the neck of the claw beside him.
"I can."
The previous chapters were blocked, so I had to copy the text, edit it, and repost it. I'm so afraid of duplicate chapters, sob sob. I'll contact the editor tomorrow to have the blocked chapters removed.
And recommending friends' books:
"Starting with Leo, an Infinite Delusion"
The engine roared, and the Jeep kicked up a sandstorm!
Dan Moroboshi flicked his cane, pointing it at the two people ahead: "None of you are allowed to run! Charge towards the car!"
Feng Yuan exclaimed in alarm, "I don't understand, Captain!"
Li Xiu completely broke down, saying, "But what does this have to do with me, Captain? Are you even thinking straight?!"
"Ah—Sarilang!!!"
