Thriller Paradise Chapter 1398

Chapter 1399

The Gotham River was a Black River.

Before it became a commercial city, it was a typical industrial city. Years of pollution had permanently changed the color of the river that stretched across the city. Now, no matter how much money people spent on it, it could not be restored to its original appearance.

Many things in the world were like this. It was easy to go from clear to turbid, but it was difficult to go from turbid to clear. It was easy to turn from white to black, but to turn from black to white…It required a high price.

Gululululu

The sound of the propeller rotating underwater was accompanied by bubbles as it floated to the surface of the river.

In the dark of the night, no one would notice what was happening in the wide Muddy River.

At this moment, a “bat submarine”… If you would like to call it that … Was slowly moving forward on the river bed.

And the person driving it was obviously Batman.

About an hour ago, after turning into a taxi driver and attacking Feng bujue, Wayne had entered an underground tunnel that was not far from the pioneer bridge.

It took him many years to slowly develop these “secret passages” all over the city (the slow progress was not due to technical reasons, but simply because he had to find a way to avoid places that might become subway lines in the next few years). The entrances were distributed in all corners of Gotham, and Wayne’s Iris had to be scanned to open them.

There were simple tracks and small magnetic levitation mobile cabins in the secret passage, which could help Wayne travel quickly in the city. In addition, there were also some “bat equipment” hidden in some places of the secret passage in case of emergency.

Of course, this backup “equipment” did not include the “submarine”.

Therefore, Wayne still had to return to his Bat Cave, start the submarine, and then follow the tributary of the river into the Gotham River, driving to the place where his fake car had sunk.

This process had undoubtedly taken him a lot of time.

If he could successfully find Jack’s body among the car wreckage, then all this time would be worth it, but …

“This kid … Actually escaped?” Looking at the image on the scanner, Wayne was shocked and then fell into deep thought.”How did he do it … From the surveillance video of Arkham, he didn’t show any other special abilities except for his slightly stronger physical fitness … Could it be that his strange partner saved him?” He quickly denied this speculation.”No… No way. To do that, he would have to have his partner wait at the bottom of the water with a full set of diving equipment and get him out of the car within a second after the car entered the water … Unless he knew the exact spot where the car would fall in advance and couldn’t have been more than a meter off. However, the exact location of the fall … Is something that even I, the pilot, can not grasp …”

The so-called “reasoning” was like walking through a maze, and the exit of the maze was the “truth”. In this maze, when you walked into a dead end, you often had to take a few steps back and find another path before you could continue. It was a small matter to waste time on a dead end, but it would be terrible to be trapped there forever.

“Then … He broke the window at the last moment and escaped from the car?” Wayne was obviously an expert in the maze of reasoning. He immediately retreated from the dead end and said,”my timing was perfect. The earlier he detonated, the explosion wouldn’t have been covered by the river. The later he detonated, the more time he would have to react and act. In these few seconds, the water would severely hinder his movements. Even if he really broke the window, he wouldn’t have been able to escape from the car in time. The moment the car exploded …” At most, he can only stick half of his body out …”

Thinking of this, Wayne’s eyes moved away from the scanning device. He immediately turned the direction of the submarine dozens of degrees and aimed it downstream.

“In that case … Perhaps the shock wave of the explosion pushed his body out. I should look downstream, maybe I can …” Wayne thought as he began to accelerate the submarine.

“Hold on!” But at that second, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

The inspiration was like a warm current, pouring a series of thoughts into his mind.

The hand gesture that Feng bujue made to the surveillance camera and the words that he said before he fell into the water … Reappeared before Wayne’s eyes.

“He wanted to invite me to join the game from the very beginning … And he had also predicted that I would definitely join the game.” Wayne couldn’t help but Mutter to himself. At this moment, he had to say these words to help himself focus on thinking.”When he got into my car, he already saw through my identity … He could totally pretend that he didn’t know, and suddenly attack me from behind without talking to me, or … He could just jump out of the car and escape.” He paused for half a second and continued,”even at the last moment, he still had a chance to escape … He even deliberately pointed out that there was a button behind my steering wheel, which meant that he had anticipated the danger that would come.”

Thinking of this, Wayne’s handsome face was soaked in cold sweat.

“Come to think of it … This ‘Jack’ is one step ahead of me in every aspect, but he didn’t take advantage of that ‘one step’… Why?” Wayne was scared. He had never been so scared in “this world”.

“Time!” Perhaps fear had stimulated his brain, Wayne’s mind became sharper. Two seconds later, he found the right answer.”He has been hiding his ability from the beginning!” Before I drove the car into the river, he had already guessed what I was going to do … Or at least he had already considered this possibility, but he didn’t care … Because he was already prepared to face every possibility.

“Not only does he have some special ability that I don’t know about … He’s also … Very strong.

“If he wanted to kill me, I would have been dead long ago. But for some reason … He hoped that I would live, but at the same time, he did not want me to hinder his actions. So, he jumped into my trap … To buy himself …’Time’!”

After Wayne cleared his doubts, he quickly operated the panel in front of him and made his communicator receive the police communication signal.

In less than 30 seconds, he got the news about the incident at the Twin Tower from the police’s communication channel.

“Damn it!” Wayne could no longer calm down. He could not help but curse, then he stood up and ran to the back of the submarine.

Due to the escape of Arkham in the afternoon, more than half of the city’s police force was still in the suburbs, and these half were elites who dealt with major cases on a daily basis. It would be good enough if the police officers in downtown Gotham could maintain basic security in various places. Expecting them to save the mayor … Was no different from a fool’s dream.

Therefore, the only person the mayor and the others could count on now … Was Batman.

“Get ready to start the ‘three-pointer’ procedure.” Wayne, who walked into the back of the submarine, firmly fixed himself in a lying chair with very skilled movements and issued a command to the computer.

[Sir, according to the results of the last test, the safety of this program …] The computer did not immediately carry out his order, but tried to tell him the risks of this action.

Wayne didn’t even let the computer finish and directly interrupted,””Initiate program. Target is located at the ‘twin buildings’ in the city center. Quick!”

[Yes, sir.]

[‘Three-point shot’ program activated. Target point calibration in progress.]

As the emotionless voice of the computer was heard, a translucent film of light was projected from the bottom of the metal cabin, covering the seat that Wayne was lying on, turning it into a olive-shaped cabin device.

[Calculating probability of obstacles appearing, adjusting the best parabola]

[Projection process in five seconds. Five, four, three, two, one …]

At the end of the countdown, the super-long-range “three-point shot” rushed out of a pipe groove above the submarine, broke through the waters of the Gotham River, and flew diagonally into the sky …

…………

At the same time, in the banquet hall on the top floor of the Twin Tower.

“Gentlemen, I know you’re in a mess right now. Let me help you sort out your thoughts.” As Feng bujue spoke, he continued to move forward.”If any one of you shoot at me, there is a high chance that the five of us will die together, and if I shoot at you …”

Bang!

As he said that, he actually fired a shot.

However, his gun wasn’t aimed at the people. He only shattered the glass of the building behind the mayor and the others.

Before the shock from the gunshot could subside, a gust of “wind from the tall building” blew in through the Big Hole in the glass. The four people who were closer to the gap almost instinctively knelt on the ground and lowered their center of gravity … They were afraid that they would be carried out of the building by the wind if they staggered.

“Hehe … It might not bring about a worse result, right?” Looking at the reaction of the people before him, Feng bujue opened his arms to welcome the cold wind and laughed.

“You’re crazy!” Dente pressed his hand on his hair that was messed up by the wind and roared in the wind,”what do you want?”

“I just want to … Ask you and the mayor … One question …” At that moment, Feng bujue no longer approached the man because he knew that if he continued to get closer, the two bodyguards would be able to shoot his head without triggering the bomb.”As long as you answer me honestly … I will leave on my own without you asking me to.”

Then, brother Jue swung his arm and slung the gun over his shoulder. Like a drunk man, he staggered to a table next to him, picked up a glass of champagne, and downed it in one go.

His actions looked crazy, but in fact, every step he took was profoundly looking at the gun barrel on his shoulder, his elusive movements, and the exaggerated way he drank champagne … All of these were measures to prevent others from aiming at his head. With the interference from the wind … Even though the other guests in the banquet hall had left, the two bodyguards still couldn’t shoot at the madman who was tied with explosives.

“What do you want to know?” Two seconds later, Mayor coporter also opened his mouth. Of course, he was also shouting at the top of his lungs.

“It’s simple …” Feng bujue turned to look at the two and replied,”please … Clearly … State your full name.”

This request was a little strange, but in the eyes of the four people in front of the window, it didn’t matter if it was a crazy request or not. Since he was now in control of the situation, such a request … They would just satisfy him.

“I’m Oswald kistfeld coppette. ” Mayor coporter waited for a second before he announced his name.

“I’m Harvey ‘Apollo’ dente …” Dente followed closely.

[Quest progress has been updated]

After they said their names, the system’s voice sounded in Feng bujue’s ears.

At this point, his hidden mission progress had reached 9/10. He already knew the whereabouts of the nine “supervillains”

Halley Quinn was now a psychiatrist and married Bruce Wayne.

The assassin crocodile had been imprisoned in a secret chamber in the sewers and had died.

Mr. Freeze was now a normal researcher.

Poison ivy girl darling was now an ordinary university student.

The Scarecrow darling was now a psychology professor at Gotham University.

The riddle man Youyou is now a bartender with a brain disease.

Zas Xuxu had now become a pardoned criminal with lifelong disability.

The Penguin man, Qin Zhuan, was the current mayor of Gotham.

The two-faced man Youyou was now a District Attorney of Gotham City.

He only needed to find one more villain to complete the hidden quest. By then, he would be able to uncover some kind of … Truth that was hidden under the surface of this ‘villain-less world’.

Ping, ping, ping, ping …

Just as brother Jue got the response he wanted, the glass on the other side of the banquet hall shattered.

However, the glass was not broken by a gun, but by a football-shaped cabin from the outside.

Wuwuwuwu

The cabin that broke through the window had yet to completely stop sliding when the sound of gas spurting out announced that it had been opened.

Then, in a cloud of white smoke, a black figure in a cloak slowly appeared …

“Do you know what makes me so angry?” The voice that sounded like someone with terminal throat cancer came as expected.”It’s that you can be three steps ahead of me, but you always wait until I’m only one step away before you leave …”

“ha!” feng bujue looked at the man and threw the gun away with a smile. he quickly removed the fake explosive bag from his inner pocket and threw it on the ground.”do you think you are only three steps away from me?”

wayne ignored his provocation and continued,””i can feel that … you enjoy the process. ‘losing’ or ‘winning’… is not important to you.”

“but … that’s very important to you.” feng bujue added.

“sigh …” wayne sighed. he looked at the mayor’s two bodyguards and raised his voice slightly.”why didn’t you shoot?”

The two of them were stunned by his question.

Wayne’s question had hit the nail on the head. By right, Feng bujue had already thrown the ‘bomb’ away, and he was facing away from them. They could easily aim at his back. At this distance, even if they did not have a hundred percent accuracy, they would at least have an eighty percent chance of hitting his body.

“He has already disarmed himself. We should arrest him according to the procedure!” A few seconds later, it was dente who reacted first and gave a serious answer.

“Humph …” Wayne snorted and turned to brother Jue.”I think … You understand, right? Why … I want to win. Why … Must I win?”

“I understand,” “But I don’t agree,” Feng bujue said.

“Oh?” Wayne was suspicious.”Are you trying to say that I did something wrong?”

“Of course I’m wrong.” Brother Jue replied.

“Ridiculous.” Wayne commented in a cold tone. He was clearly not shaken by brother Jue’s denial.

“I don’t expect you to understand immediately.” “But I’m just going to say this to remind you that if a person’s principle overshadows everything else, then that would be an extreme form of selfishness,” Feng bujue said.

“Oh?” Wayne heard something from the other person’s words.”It sounds like you think you can still leave this place?”

“I’ve already achieved my goal, what’s the point of staying?” Feng bujue spread his hands and replied in a matter-of-fact tone.

“Purpose?” Wayne’s gaze shifted again, looking at coppart and dente.”What did he do?”

“He …” Coppart hesitated for a second before he replied,”he only asked for our names.”

“A name …” Wayne said as he started to walk. At that moment, he was fully prepared. Under his Cape, there were more than ten types of equipment that could help him subdue the man before him. Even without the equipment, he was one of the best combat masters in the world. In a one-on-one fight, at least in terms of technique, he would not be at a disadvantage.”Speaking of which … I seem to have forgotten something very important …” He walked straight toward brother Jue.”‘Jack’ is not your real name, right?” He paused for a moment.”…What’s your name?”

Feng bujue did not reply because when Wayne started to walk, brother Jue had already turned around … And started to run.

His target was obvious-it was the hole he had opened with his gun.

In terms of speed, Bruce Wayne could be compared to a sprinting world champion, but Feng bujue’s walking speed was beyond the limits of a normal person, so … He had to be faster.

In the blink of an eye, brother Jue had run past the mayor and the rest. He was so fast that the two bodyguards did not even have time to react.

At the same time, two bat darts flew out from Wayne’s hands. They drew two arcs in the air, went around coppart and the others, and headed straight for Feng bujue’s back.

“I’ll be waiting for you there, Batman!”

In the blink of an eye, just as brother Jue shouted that, he did a somersault and jumped out of the building. After that, he caught the two incoming bat darts with one hand.

His other hand took out something from his pocket and toyed with a flashlight.

In the fraction of a second before gravity pulled him down, Feng bujue switched on the flashlight and tossed it into the building through the opening that he had jumped out from.

Then, he fell down.

“Ha … Hahaha…Hahahaha …”

His body was falling, but his crazy laughter was rising.

The figure quickly disappeared into the night, but his laughter echoed between the buildings and didn’t disappear for a long time …
