Due to the accident in the City of Sin, the superbrain experiment had been interrupted for some time.
Harry thought that Professor X was here to talk to him about this, but after he entered the lab, he realized that was not the case.
Other than the professor and Hank, there was an unexpected guest.
"Bart! Why are you here? "The boy who sat next to Professor X had his face propped up on his hands.
He was wearing a red and white uniform, and his short red hair was sticking up behind his head.
It was' Pulse 'Bart Allen.
"Hi,
Harry. "Even though he was not as excited as before, Bart still flashed a smile at Harry.
With this smile, Harry noticed a scar that ran from his left cheek to his neck.
With the healing speed of lightning,
This was definitely not a minor injury.
He asked with concern, "What's going on?"
"Well …" Bart, who had always been quick with his words, hesitated.
It was the professor who spoke to divert Harry's attention. "Harry, does your scar still hurt?"
Harry shook his head. He had mastered the trick of 'closing the small box'.
It was able to seal away the negative emotions. However, after the professor heard his secret, he did not look happy. He only put his fingers together and thought for a while.
Then, he pushed the wheelchair in front of the lab table and played a video. "Harry, come and take a look at this."
Harry walked behind the professor suspiciously.
It was a video that was obviously taken secretly.
The camera was not very stable.
However, the quality of the video was so clear that it was suspicious.
Even though it was a night scene, the folds of the Dark Knight's cape could be seen clearly.
The background of the video was Gotham, and the location was the square.
Harry saw many onlookers in the shaky camera. To be more precise, they were 'hostages'. Even though they were sitting in the square, their hands were tied behind their backs with ropes. Harry was not unfamiliar with the people who held them there. They were the ones standing in the middle of the square: the Joker, the Scarecrow, the Penguin, the Two-Face, the Poison Ivy, the Joker, and the Riddler. After the camera calmed down, Harry realized that it was an extremely absurd scene in the square. Because before the Joker and the rest, there were several hostages who were tied up. Other than ropes, there were also bombs tied to their bodies. That was not absurd. The absurd thing was that the Joker and the rest also had bombs tied to them!
While Harry was still in shock, Batman asked the Joker in a deep voice, "Joker, what are you trying to do?"
The Joker's bright red lips were like terrifying cracks on a pale wall. What was even more terrifying was his ear-piercing laughter. "Hey, hey, hey … Batman, my dear Dark Knight, you've always been able to guess my purpose, haven't you? Why don't you admit that we are the same? Why don't you? "
Batman ignored the Joker and said calmly, "Joker, you know you can't escape."
Before Harry could decipher his tone, the camera had already turned to the other side. Under the dark sky of Gotham, the 'Man of Steel' Superman was floating in the air. Green Lantern had just stepped out of his private 'elevator' when the Flash braked behind him. On the other side, Wonder Woman, the Martian Manhunter, and Shazam had also arrived. More than half of the Justice League had gathered. The Joker and the rest really had no chance of winning.
Harry, on the other hand, was even more confused. Who on earth was this sneaky photographer? What confused Harry even more was that the Joker and the rest, who were surrounded by the Justice League, showed no fear. In fact, they were laughing. The laughter caused the seven hostages with bombs to turn pale.
As the Joker laughed, he elegantly twirled the cards in his hand. "No, no, no. Batman, don't be impulsive. Before you figure out who has the remote control of the bomb, don't be impulsive. A friendly reminder — of course, it's not with me."
"It's hard to believe that you would entrust your life in the hands of others." Batman's voice rang out, but the camera didn't move away. Instead, it was focused on the Flash. Before Harry could be confused, the Joker mocked, "A free reminder — no matter how fast the Flash can defuse the bomb, he can only defuse the bomb in this square."
Same old trick. In some unknown location, the Joker might be threatening another group of hostages.
The Flash gritted his teeth and took a step back.
Batman's voice was still low, but there was a hint of anger in it. "State your terms, if this is a deal."
"As expected of the brains of the Justice League." The camera shifted to the Joker. He was laughing maniacally, almost knocking over the penguin next to him. When Harry saw the angry Superman behind the Joker, he suddenly realized something. Did Superman see this blatant thief? No matter how well hidden he was, with Superman's super vision, he should be able to see him. Why didn't he have a strange expression?
No one answered Harry. The Joker was already making his terms. He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and stared at the unmoving Batman. At the same time, he changed his voice. "This is a very interesting deal."
The Joker smacked his lips. He walked past the hostages who were being threatened, past the supervillains who all had different expressions, and went straight to Batman. Then, he held the piece of paper in front of Batman's eyes.
There was a strange emotion in his quavering, strange voice. "A few days ago, I got a list, a list of some of the righteous men — about who they really are. As a good citizen, I should hand these illegal vigilantes over to the Federation, but — you see, after all, we are friends, right? So, I think it's better for you to turn yourselves in. But if you insist on not doing so and insist on wearing funny circus costumes to threaten the public, what should I do? Tsk tsk tsk … "
The Joker retreated to the center of the square and licked his lips. "It seems that I still need to contribute a little. For example, how about a name in exchange for a bomb? I've already invited some notaries here … "He bent slightly and waved at the crowd who were forced to watch." As long as a superhero is willing to come forward, take off his mask, and reveal his true identity, we'll release a hostage, and — "He suddenly raised his voice." — and, to celebrate this great event, we're willing to set off a firework to liven things up! "
The square was silent for a moment. Only the Joker's laughter and applause could be heard. It took Harry a few seconds to understand the meaning of his words. At the same time, he understood the meaning of the bombs on them — and it was ridiculous.
Wonder Woman, who was standing at the side, had already raised her longsword and pointed it at the Joker. "Diana Prince, from Paradise Island. Everyone knows my true identity. Now, release the hostage."
The Joker pretended to be surprised and looked at Wonder Woman. "Hey, what a blunder. But, since we've agreed on a fair trade, then it's a fair trade. Princess Diana, now, please choose your hostage. Do you want to release this … "The Joker chuckled and walked to the hostages as if he was introducing a product." The respected professor? Or was it this pregnant woman? Oh my, there's a cute little girl here … Your Highness, may I know who you want to choose? "
Wonder Woman frowned and clenched her longsword. She was obviously angry.
The Joker was still provoking her. "Phobia of choice? Hmm, if it were me, I'd definitely choose this little girl, wouldn't I? She's so cute. There's still a great loli life waiting for her … "At the same time, the other hostages also looked at Wonder Woman in horror.
Everyone hoped that they would be the chosen one. They looked at Wonder Woman with fear, expectation, and even blame.
Diana growled and took a step forward to throw out the Lasso of Truth. The Flash was not able to stop her in time. The lasso did not hit the Joker. Instead, it wrapped around the Joker. "You!"
Before Diana could ask who had the remote control of the bomb, the hostage closest to her suddenly self-destructed. Blood splattered on her, the Joker, and the people around them. Everyone in the camera, as well as Harry outside the camera, was taken aback by the sudden incident.
The only one who did not change his smile was the Joker. He wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth and looked at Wonder Woman who was stumbling backward with a smile. "Oh my, they've already started the fireworks ~"
The pregnant woman and the little girl among the hostages were already crying. The Joker's smile grew wider and wider. "Maybe, we can make the game more interesting?" He clapped his hands. "Make the game more … entertaining."
Harry watched the camera shake, and then he was shocked to find that it had turned into a subjective perspective. A neutron cannon appeared in the picture, and on the opposite side of the weapon were Bart, Calder, Garfield, Tim, Artemis, and Megan who were being held hostage. There was also a girl he had never seen before, but he could roughly guess that she was Diana's assistant, Wonder Girl.
The "robber" pushed most of the hostages to the center of the square. Harry heard the Flash, Barry Allen, exclaim in surprise. "Blue beetle!" Then he knew the identity of the "robber".
