"Peng peng peng peng"
The flying bullets lit up the dark floor. It was as if two parties were engaged in a fierce exchange of gunfire, each wanting to nail the other's head with every bullet.
Gotham 12 had a rich inheritance. After Wurz's disappearance and Maloney's tragic death, Joker had a huge gang of over 400 people. They had nowhere else to go, and under Saber's massacre, they had no choice but to rely on Joker.
In the past, no matter how crazy the gang leaders were, they would still have some restraint. A large scale exchange of gunfire was unimaginable in Gotham in the past, but in the past few days, it had become a common occurrence. Under Joker's manipulation, the order of the entire city was collapsing rapidly. The craziness of a chaotic crowd was displayed by Joker in a bloody manner in front of everyone.
"Kill him!"
"Use grenades!"
"Burn him to death!"
These gunmen in the dark were shooting randomly and shouting crazily at the same time. They were extremely arrogant, but in reality, their opponent was only one person, like a phantom hidden in the dark. Their arrogance was not only because they thought they had the upper hand, but also because they were trying to boost their own morale.
Yes, they had the advantage in numbers, but they were afraid, terrified!
"Peng"
A guy wearing a Joker's mask had his head blown open. The bullet had come from above, so in the next moment, everyone aimed their guns upwards and fired wildly, wishing that they could use up their last bullet.
"Peng"
Another shot, but this time, it came from behind. They were going crazy, so they jumped and aimed their guns behind them. They were like young hunters trying to catch a cunning beast, but they were being toyed around by the beast.
"Turn on the lights! Turn on the lights and we'll know he's … "
"Pu"
The first smart guy realized that they were at a disadvantage. He shouted, trying to regain control of the situation, but the smart guy's mouth was covered in the next moment, and a sharp dagger slit his throat.
Without a sound, he had already appeared in the middle of these blind people. Then, there was a continuous stream of blood-curdling screams.
The darkness had never been their home ground.
"Woof woof woof!"
When the three bulldogs went completely crazy, they could easily bite an adult to death. The canine creatures' pounce and bite were as fast as lightning. Ordinary people could not keep up with them at all. Even Batman could only deal with them with difficulty when faced with three mad dogs pouncing from all directions.
He was thrown to the ground. Joker laughed wildly as he pulled out a solid steel pipe from the side and rushed towards Bruce. He raised both hands and smashed down on Batman's head like a madman.
"Tell me, what are you here for?"
Bang!
The steel pipe in his hand was stained with blood. In this kind of intense struggle, Bruce waved his hands with difficulty and tossed two of the hounds down the stairs. The last one was still biting his arm. Joker's left foot swung out, and a blade shot out from his shoe.
He rushed up and kicked Bruce in the abdomen. The sharp blade pierced through the armor and left a wound. Joker took a step back. He swung the steel pipe in his hand and laughed in a mocking voice.
"Let me tell you! You just need to do what a normal person would do in such a situation … You just need to go crazy! "
"Come on, go crazy!"
Bang!
The steel pipe hit Bruce's arm and knocked him down. Joker's shout was not over.
"Hero? No, no, no, I don't want you to be a hero. Being a hero is dangerous, especially when I find out that the people you want to protect are just a group of hypocrites. "
Bang!
The steel pipe was raised again and smashed into Batman's back. But the next moment, Bruce, who had been under attack, suddenly grabbed the steel pipe and threw it away. His fists smashed into the Joker's chest like a storm, knocking this guy, who was not outstanding in martial arts, to the ground.
"Stop your crazy talk, you lunatic!"
Batman's mouth was stained with blood. He grabbed Joker's neck with both hands and smashed his head to the ground. For the first time, he took the initiative in this chaotic battle. But Joker grinned.
"If I were you, I would see what's behind you!"
"Huh?"
Swoosh!
A black fishing net covered Batman's body from behind. Two of The Joker's gang members rushed up from below and trapped Batman with the net. He struggled, but Joker did not give him a chance to continue. He grabbed a pistol from the side, aimed at Batman, and fired two shots.
The bullets pierced the armor but did not hurt Bruce's body. But in the next moment, the lunatic rushed up with a baseball bat. Compared to bullets, he seemed to prefer cold weapons.
"You've also experienced a nightmarish day, haven't you?"
Joker shouted proudly, like an owl flapping its wings in the dark.
"I can see that you're like me. You've had a nightmarish experience. Life is so funny. Otherwise, why would you be dressed like a flying mouse? You want to avoid that thing forever. Do you think your clothes can protect you? "
Bang! Bang! Bang!
He raised the baseball bat in his hand and smashed it at Bruce.
"Do you know? You and I are only one nightmarish day away from the normal world! Since that day, everything has changed! You're the same, but you chose a different path. Do you think you're braver than me? Huh? "
Poof!
The Joker's gang member, who was running wildly with the fishing net, suddenly had a black blade in his chest. He swayed and fell. Joker raised his head and saw a dark red figure flash out of the darkness. A fist was imprinted on his chest. He felt like he was hit by a cannonball. Under the unshakable force, his whole body flew backward.
Swoosh!
Bruce's fishing net was cut in half. He jumped up from the ground like a carp and rushed towards Joker. Saber cut down another guy wearing a Joker mask. When he turned around, he saw Joker kneeling on the ground. Bruce's bat dart was pressed against his neck.
He seemed to have won …
"Kill me!"
Joker said. Batman didn't say anything. He pushed the bat dart forward. Joker's neck was bleeding. He only needed to make a light cut and this bastard would be dead. But he didn't. Even Saber, who was standing in the dark, could see that he was struggling.
"Kill me and everything will be over … Gotham will be quiet. You can go back to the past. Isn't that great …"
Joker's voice became bewitching. Saber didn't interfere. At that moment, the floor was as quiet as a deserted area. After a moment, Bruce took a step back and threw the bat dart on the ground.
That was his answer.
"You want to use this method to prove that you're different from me?"
Joker, who still had blood on his mouth, looked at Batman with disdain. Then, his disdain turned into a frivolous and twisted smile. "You just don't want me to die, right? An unstoppable force meets an unshakable object. This is the result …"
He touched the blood on his mouth.
"You really can't be corrupted, can you? Don't you think that you won't kill me out of some misplaced, self-righteous sense of justice? "
Bruce didn't say anything. He turned around and walked away in a lonely manner. When he passed by Saber, he patted Saber's shoulder. Saber said softly to him.
"There are still some people who were captured by them downstairs. You can send them away … Someone is dealing with the two ships."
Brosnan nodded. He didn't say a single word throughout the entire process. He walked into the darkness magnanimously as if he had let go of everything. Behind him, the clown who was kneeling on the ground and running for his life was screaming hysterically.
"Oh my god, oh my god, you make me want to vomit! You pretend that everything is reasonable, that everything is meaningful, but you just don't want to admit it. You went through that nightmarish day, just like everyone else who went through the same thing … "
"Admit it! You've already been driven crazy. "
But Bruce didn't turn around. He let Joker shout. He didn't turn around. He knew that he still couldn't cross his bottom line. He saw through Joker's scheme. In the face of the twisted darkness, he finally saved himself.
"He's just a normal person wearing a bat's cape. He saved the weak and protected himself. When he finally realized that he wasn't the god of this city, he truly became Batman. What do you think he is?"
"He just wanted to be a symbol, a symbol of normal people who didn't give in to crime and evil. He did it. No one can expect him to do more. I actually don't understand why they always put their hopes on Batman and force him to do things that he can't do."
Saber walked to Joker. He squatted down and looked at the angry Joker. He put his left hand on his shoulder.
"Why are you so obsessed with him … Look, he doesn't want to play anymore. He quit the game. Do you want to continue playing?"
"What are you trying to prove? Is everyone in this world as crazy as you are? "
"Come on, you're the only one who's as crazy as you … Oh right, why are you so serious? Come on, smile."
Joker tilted his head and stared at Saber with interest.
"You think you know me very well? Do you want to play games with me too? "
"No, I never want to know you."
"Pfft."
The long knife went through his chest. Saber whispered in Joker's ear, "I don't want to play games either. I don't hate you. Maybe we can be friends on other occasions. I've said it a long time ago. Between us, it's just a personal conflict."
"Cough, cough."
Joker coughed with difficulty. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, staining the white paint on his face. He stretched out his left hand. It was a colorful children's watch.
"12: 05 …"
He turned his head to look out the window. On the sea, the two ships were still there.
"You … won."
Seiber looked at the clown as if he was looking at Ducard, who had once died in his hands. The clown's finger tapped on his children's watch, and with the last of his strength, he pressed it.
Saber's Beast Instinct went crazy at this moment. He turned around and pounced out of the window. The moment he jumped into the air, he turned back and saw Joker struggling to get up. He used his hand to support himself against the wall. The wind blew his messy hair away. It was still the same purple suit covered in dust. His face was covered in paint and he held a black Joker poker card in his hand.
It was just like the first time he appeared in Gotham.
Seber also saw the smile on that face. That comical, cynical, and iconic smile. He also saw the blazing flame that ignited in the darkness behind him. Seber also saw the motto that he shouted with his life. A storm, the last lingering sound.
"Hahahaha, admit it. You can't go back. I have changed everything. I have disrupted all order. I have made everything chaotic. After me, Gotham will never be peaceful!!! I have shown you how a person should live!!! I am the agent of chaos … I am the Joker! "
The moment before he was engulfed by the fire, his eyes shone with endless radiance.
"I … didn't lose!"
"Boom!"
The fire that erupted from the center of the building easily swallowed Joker. Then, Saber who was in the air was like a torch that rose into the sky. It was like the last fireworks of departure. He lit up the darkness of Gotham as if dawn had arrived.
