Batman looked at Luo Ming seriously.
Although he cracked down on criminals, he implemented the principle of not killing.
Luo Ming's behavior of killing people at will and not caring about human life is truly inappropriate.
After all, as a righteous hero who fights criminals, how can he kill people casually?
According to the rules in the storybook, a hero who does not care about human life will usually turn evil and become a villain for some reason in the end.
However, Luo Ming is not an ordinary person.
"I was fighting back in self-defense, an emergency measure to avoid danger."
"They all shot at me, and I just gave them a taste of their own medicine."
"It is God's business to forgive them. I have already sent them to see God. What else do you want from me?"
Luo Ming looked at Batman as a matter of course.
Bruce frowned.
Luo Ming's words and indifferent attitude made him realize that Luo Ming was a man of strong will and could not be convinced by words alone.
After thinking about it, he didn't want to continue to pester her.
"Your reasons are valid, but I still hope you can cause less bloodshed."
"Otherwise, it will be easy to get caught, and then the police will issue a wanted notice."
Now, Batman is wanted by the Gotham City police.
Luo Ming didn't care about this.
"You are the one who protects Gotham, not me. Why is Gotham looking for me?"
"Besides, the authorities may not necessarily be hostile to superheroes. Who knows, maybe one day, there will be some special changes."
Bruce's heart moved when he heard Luo Ming's obviously meaningful words.
"What do you mean?"
"Literally."
Seeing that Luo Ming didn't want to say more, Bruce gave up asking.
Then he left Luo Ming's house.
Luo Ming watched Batman leave, then turned around and gave orders to Skynet.
"Start the vigilante plan."
He has come to this world since World War II, developing his power, and has already infiltrated the official ranks of the Ugly Country quite deeply.
It is still possible to launch a vigilante program to free superheroes from official harassment.
He doesn't want to be dragged down by the people of Earth when facing a powerful enemy and protecting the Earth.
The so-called vigilante plan is to give superheroes special treatment. After all, they are not facing ordinary criminals.
Of course, this plan cannot be executed all at once. After all, some ambitious people would like to control these extraordinary powers for their own use.
...
The other side.
After Batman left Loming's house, he met Gordon on a rooftop as agreed.
In addition to Gordon, there is a larger searchlight on the roof. There is a bat pattern on the surface of the searchlight. When it is turned on, the beam shines on the clouds and a huge bat pattern appears.
This is the code agreed upon by Batman and Gordon. Once Gordon wants to find him, he can use this code to contact him.
Of course, this is a one-sided contact. If Gordon wants to find Batman, he can only use this code. If Batman wants to find Gordon, he can do so at any time.
Batman chatted with Gordon for a while, and then Gordon told him the reason why he was looking for Batman.
He handed Batman a playing card and explained:
"A new criminal has recently appeared in Gotham, named the Joker. He leaves this thing behind every time he commits a crime."
"It's difficult for the Gotham police to deal with him. Please check it out."
There is a clown pattern on the playing cards, which is the devil in playing cards, the joker.
Batman looked at the cards, nodded, and agreed to Gordon's request.
He then left and started investigating the Joker.
...
A few days later.
In a secret room.
Six people are planning to rob a bank.
Each of these six people wore a clown mask.
At this time, they were discussing their targets.
On the table in front of them was a map of Gotham City.
The targets are marked in red on the map.
One of the robbers spoke.
"Which bank in Gotham City has the most money?"
"Of course it's Rockwell Bank. They have been around for a long time, have a good reputation, and good security. Not only is it the richest bank in Gotham City, it's also the richest bank in the Ugly Country."
One of the robbers said as a matter of course.
In this land, Rockwell Bank is definitely the safest bank. Since its establishment, there has never been any security problem, so many people are willing to deposit their money in Rockwell Bank.
"Loewe Bank is indeed the richest. Even the branch in Gotham City is very wealthy, but their security is notorious. We should switch to another bank."
Among them, a robber who was a little different spoke up.
This robber was also wearing a mask, but the others were obviously led by him, because it was this man who gathered the robbers here and carried out the robbery plan.
This person calls himself the Joker.
Then, the Joker skipped over Rockwell Bank and Wayne Bank on the map and pointed to Gotham Bank, which was established in Gotham City.
"This bank."
No one else had any objection to this.
A few days later, after the robbers had made their plan, they began to act.
In broad daylight, they took advantage of the fact that there were few people in Gotham Bank and divided into several groups, entering Gotham Bank from different directions to carry out the plan.
Two robbers climbed up to the roof of the bank using ropes from the office building opposite the bank.
Then on the rooftop, they hacked and destroyed the alarm-related equipment.
After one of the robbers successfully destroyed the bank's alarm system, he was shot and killed by his companions behind him.
Others broke into Gotham Bank from the front.
Three robbers broke into the bank, used hot weapons to intimidate, and after controlling the front desk, one of the robbers entered the safe, destroyed the safe, and prepared to rob it, stealing the large amount of cash inside.
When the bank manager saw the robbers appear, he realized that there were only two robbers in front of the lobby, so he picked up a defensive weapon, a shotgun, and fought back.
At first, the two robbers were caught off guard, but they were not injured.
Taking advantage of the manager's carelessness, he shot him down.
The manager was in so much pain that he could only twitch on the ground.
Seeing that the manager had lost his strength to resist, a robber entered the safe.
When he saw the safe door was opened, he shot and killed the accomplice.
Afterwards, this robber and the remaining robbers took the packages and desperately stuffed the money into several large bags.
After filling up the packages they were carrying, they took them to the lobby.
The robber who killed his accomplice immediately pointed his gun at his only remaining companion.
"I bet the Joker told you to kill me after we loaded up the money!"
It turned out that before the action, the Joker gave each robber a task, which was to kill one of their companions after completing each step.
This way they can get more money, and in the end they can even keep it all for themselves.
Therefore, these robbers all had ulterior motives.
The clown was not afraid when his companions pointed a gun at him.
"No, no, no, I want to kill the bus driver."
The armed robber was stunned.
"What bus driver?"
"..."
Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, the robber suddenly became anxious. Just when he was about to continue questioning, a school bus backed up, broke through the gate with its rear end, broke into the bank lobby, and hit the armed robber to death.
The robber who was driving the school bus opened the back door and got out. He was the one who killed the robber who disabled the alarm.
After killing his companion, he came down from the rooftop and hijacked the school bus to transport the money as planned.
The robber didn't care much when he saw his companion being killed by him. They were all criminals and didn't care about their companion's death at all.
He and the remaining robber threw the package containing the money onto the school bus.
After throwing all the packages into the car, the robber who survived in the hall unexpectedly shot and killed the robber who drove the school bus.
In the blink of an eye, he was the only one left among all the robbers.
Seeing the remaining robber preparing to leave, the bank manager said unwillingly:
"Your boss behind the scenes will definitely treat you the same way."
He saw the robbers killing each other.
"The criminals in this city have faith, reputation, and respect, and what do you have?"
Hearing this, the remaining robber came to the manager with interest, stuffed a bomb into his mouth, and said calmly:
"My motto is that what doesn't kill you only makes you weirder and weirder!"
As he spoke, he took off his clown mask, revealing a smiling face covered in paint and clown makeup.
The manager was stunned and stared at the clown in front of him.
It turns out that the Joker had already killed a robber and infiltrated the robbery team.
The robbers thought he was waiting behind the scenes to share the money, but they didn't know that the Joker had already seen through the robbers' greed and planned to make them kill each other.
Now, all the money belongs to him, and he, the clown, is the biggest winner.
Then, the clown ignored the confused manager, got on the school bus, and drove away.
Of course, when the school bus left the bank, the rope tied to the bomb switch activated the switch under the pull of the car.
The manager could only watch in despair as the bomb was activated. Then, with a loud bang, he was blown to pieces before he could even feel the pain.
It was a long time after the Joker drove away in the school bus with the money that the Gotham police arrived.
After they understood the situation clearly, they cordoned off the scene and reported what happened.
As the sheriff, Gordon soon learned that the Joker had committed a crime again.
He immediately began to investigate the relevant situation, while not forgetting to notify Batman.
Since he couldn't contact Batman, Gordon had to go to the scene with the police officers on his own to see if he could get some clues.
When I arrived at the crime scene and just found out some things, I found that Batman was also there.
Gordon's men left tactfully, leaving the space to the two of them.
It's no secret in the police department that Gordon and Batman are working together.
When there were only two people left in the room, Gordon didn't waste any time and told Batman what he knew.
The people who robbed the money were mainly clowns, and the others were minions.
The amount of money that was robbed is not important, because most of it is the money of gang bosses, and some is the money that undercover police use to buy drugs from drug dealers.
The money used by undercover police officers had already been specially marked in order to understand the money laundering trends of the gangs and take the opportunity to arrest the gangs in Gotham City.
This bank is already the fifth bank that has colluded with the mafia.
Those who help gangs launder money must be punished according to law.
Batman agrees with Gordon's plan.
But the Joker also needs to be dealt with, and Gordon handles the gangster stuff.
The Joker can only be tracked down by Batman for now.
After understanding what happened, Batman left the bank.
...
The other side.
Rachel's office has a new prosecutor, Harvey Dent, who was recently transferred in after her previous boss died.
Harvey is a man of justice who fights against criminal gangs in Gotham City through various legal means.
It can be said that he is a thorn in the side of the Gotham City gangs today.
While suing a gang in a court, Harvey was assassinated.
However, he managed to resolve the assassination attempt very well.
Moreover, he used powerful words to stabilize the situation and took the opportunity to confront the gang leader.
"Don't play these little tricks of yours in front of me anymore."
"All of you criminals will spend the rest of your lives in jail!"
Xavi's performance won applause from the audience.
At the same time, because of work, Harvey and Rachel became close.
In fact, Harvey had developed a crush on Rachel and intended to pursue her.
Rachel naturally disagreed with this, after all, she liked Bruce in her heart.
Although because of Batman's matter, the two of them are not getting along well now.
Wayne also noticed what was happening between Harvey and Rachel.
He did not intervene too much in this regard.
It is Rachel's freedom to be with whomever she wants, and he has no right to stop her.
At the same time, for his own reasons, he didn't want to involve Rachel too much.
As Batman fights criminals, Bruce inevitably intercepts many enemies.
Although the criminals don't know Bruce's true identity, Bruce still wants to avoid these things as much as possible.
However, Bruce also wanted to know more about Harvey.
At a party, Bruce created a chance encounter.
While chatting with Harvey, we couldn't help but talk about Batman.
Harvey mentioned that breaking justice to maintain order is not necessarily wrong. In special times, it is better to use special means.
After all, the criminals in Gotham City are too rampant, and it is difficult for the police to deal with them.
Although Batman broke the law and acted on his own to catch criminals, it was very effective.
The people of Gotham need such a superhero, and the people like Batman.
When Bruce heard Harvey support Batman, he felt like he had met a soulmate.
If everyone was like Harvey, Batman might be able to retire.
Moreover, fighting criminals as Batman may not be as good as Harvey.
After all, Harvey is in the judicial system and can act according to the law and send criminals to jail.
...
The next day.
Liu Securities Company from the East and Wayne Group negotiated cooperation.
However, Bruce's investigation found that the company's growth was too stable and continuous, and seemed to be of unknown origin.
So he refused decisively.
There is only one company in the world that has stable profits and continuous growth, with a legitimate origin, and that is Rockwell Corporation!
Ch 286
Most of the Liu Group's profits are used to launder money for gangs.
Most of the gangsters in Gotham City gathered in a basement.
The more than 60 million they deposited in the Gotham Bank was stolen by the Joker, but there were still hundreds of millions of black money.
At this time they are discussing how to protect the remaining money.
Mr. Liu, the chairman of the Liu Group, told the gang leaders that he had transferred the money to a safe place known only to him before the police confiscated the black money they kept in the bank.
Mr. Liu himself is not in the U.S. but in Hong Kong Island, so he is not afraid of being caught.
Therefore, he can control everything remotely.
Just then, the Joker suddenly appeared in the basement.
He robbed the gang's money and took the initiative to appear in front of these gang bosses. He is truly a man of great skill and courage.
Facing many unfriendly looks, the clown grinned.
He laughed at the gang, thinking about how they and the police had been in cahoots when Connie was in power.
Ever since Batman showed up and captured Falconi, you've been scared to death.
What's more, he even gave his own black money to Mr. Liu, which is ridiculous.
The clown said that the first time he saw Mr. Liu, he knew that Mr. Liu was a traitor and would betray them sooner or later.
In this regard, many gang bosses naturally would not just believe the Joker's one-sided words.
However, they were also curious about whether the Joker had any better ideas.
The Joker's solution to this is to kill Batman so that they don't have to worry about being caught.
Everyone was immediately happy when they heard the clown's suggestion.
Some people mocked that it is easier said than done. If Batman is so easy to kill, why doesn't the Joker do it?
The Joker retorted that even if you are the best at something, it will not be in vain.
I can kill Batman, but you have to give me half of your money.
Hearing the clown lion's loud words, many gangster bosses burst into laughter out of anger.
How could they possibly agree to the clown asking for half of the black money they had worked so hard to earn?
There was a gangster boss who immediately stood up and ordered his men to catch the clown.
The bounty for killing the Joker is $500,000, and for capturing him alive it's $1 million.
The Joker was not afraid of this at all. He simply opened his coat and revealed the bomb he was carrying with him.
He pulled the fuse into his hand, indicating that as long as he pulled the fuse, the bomb would explode, and everyone here would be killed.
Seeing how cruel the Joker was, the gang bosses here suddenly didn't dare to act rashly.
They don't care whether the clown is dead or alive, they only care about their own lives.
The Joker knew that the plan would not be so easy to succeed, so he asked everyone to think carefully and then slipped away.
...
Scene change.
A few hooligans carried the clown's body to collect the bounty from the gangster boss who had offered a bounty on the clown.
The boss went forward to take a look and found that it was indeed the clown.
He was very proud of this.
No matter how arrogant you are, you will still fall into my hands.
However, the gangster boss didn't feel happy for long, as the clown suddenly turned over and subdued him with a dagger.
The gangster's men wanted to resist, but the thugs who carried the clown in suddenly jumped up and subdued the gangster's men.
Apparently, they were the Joker's people.
The Joker was not in a hurry to kill people, but told the gangster boss his own story.
When he was a child, the Joker's father got drunk and killed his mother in front of him.
Because he was so scared that he didn't dare to speak, his father thought he was too serious, so he cut a wound on his face that looked like a smiley face.
After saying these things, he directly killed the gangster boss.
Then, the Joker led his men to take over the gangster's territory and most of his resources.
...
night.
On a rooftop.
The bat searchlight comes on.
After a while, three people appeared on the rooftop.
Batman, Gordon, Harvey.
The three of them discussed for a while.
Now the gangsters' money laundering cases are facing difficulties.
The gang transferred all the dirty money away before the police arrived, and they had to get the money back as soon as possible.
The person who transferred the money was Mr. Liu. The best way is to find out from Mr. Liu where the black money is.
However, Mr. Liu is in Hong Kong Island and there is no extradition law, so it is very difficult to deal with him.
When Batman heard this, he thought it was an easy solution and said he could capture Mr. Liu.
What do they do after they are caught?
Harvey and Gordon said they would get the information they needed from Mr. Liu.
After getting the answer, Batman immediately began to prepare a plan.
...
A few days later, Batman captured Mr. Liu from Hong Kong Island and brought him to Gotham, and dropped his uniform in front of the Gotham City Police Station.
After Gordon received the news, he immediately sent Mr. Liu to the interrogation room, then contacted Harvey to come over and begin interrogating him about relevant information.
In order to protect himself, Mr. Liu directly provided the list of people involved in money laundering.
As for the black money that was transferred away, Mr. Liu did not say anything.
Gordon and Harvey decided that according to Gotham City law, they could send the existing gang leaders to jail on charges of conspiracy to raise funds.
The next day.
The police took action, arrested the gang members and brought them to trial.
There were more than 500 criminals in total, involved in more than 700 cases of extortion, more than 800 cases of blackmail, and nearly 100 cases of murder.
Under Harvey's leadership, most of the gangsters were sent to jail.
Unfortunately, some gang bosses are very smart, but they are just the masterminds behind the scenes, and it is their subordinates who really take the blame.
Therefore, some gang bosses have not been sent to jail.
Of course, their forces also suffered a severe blow.
Seeing that they were at their wits' end, the gang leaders arranged for their subordinates to spread the word in the underworld, asking them to kill Batman.
Upon receiving the news, the Joker immediately took action.
He first hangs a random Batman impersonator.
Then they caught a Batman impersonator and tortured him live on TV.
He shouted to Batman that if he didn't reveal his identity and surrender quickly, he would continue to kill people randomly and Gotham City would be in a bloody storm.
Moreover, the Joker's words were not a joke, he took corresponding actions.
He first planted a bomb, killing the female judge in charge of the gang case, and then poisoned the chief of the Gotham City Police Department.
Even though Gordon sent people to track him based on some clues such as fingerprint information, he was still one step too late for the Joker.
Bruce realized that Harvey was in danger, so he knocked Harvey unconscious at a party and hid him.
Just as Bruce and Harvey left, the Joker came with his minions, armed with hot weapons.
He threatened the people at the scene to hand over Harvey.
The people at the scene were terrified of the madman called the Joker.
Seeing the Joker's lawless appearance, Rachel took the initiative to step forward and bear the Joker's anger.
The Joker is not a merciful man, and just when he is about to attack Rachel, Bruce, transformed into Batman, arrives in time.
He knocked the clown away with one punch, saved Rachel, and then started fighting with the clown and his minions.
With the help of high-tech equipment, the Joker is no match at all.
During the fight, the Joker used his men as shields to attract Batman's attention, then took the opportunity to grab Rachel and threatened Batman to take off his mask.
Batman naturally wouldn't agree. Just when the two were in a stalemate and everyone thought they were going to engage in routine negotiations.
The Joker broke the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window and threw Rachel out of the building without saying a word.
Batman naturally would not stand by and watch her die. He gave up on capturing the Joker and jumped off the building to save Rachel.
With the help of high-tech equipment, Batman and Rachel landed safely on a car on the ground.
The Joker naturally took this opportunity to escape.
...
The next day, Gotham begins a full-scale manhunt for the Joker.
The Joker's recent actions have caused Gotham City to fall into great fear.
Those who provide information will receive a huge reward.
With a huge reward, someone actually provided clues.
Gordon led his men to the scene to check based on the report information.
After investigation, it was discovered that this place was where the Joker's men killed each other.
Batman was called in to investigate, and Batman found the fingerprints left behind.
Batman returned to the base and conducted various analyses in an attempt to find clues.
After spending a lot of time cracking, Bruce finally found some clues.
It was in an apartment next to the memorial service for the police chief.
Wayne arrived at the destination based on the clues and found that many people were tied up inside.
After talking to these people, Wayne realized that they were police officers.
They were subdued, their uniforms were taken away and they were tied up here.
Only then did Wayne realize that he had fallen into a trap again.
Outside on the street, a memorial service for the police chief was being held.
The mayor was delivering a eulogy at the podium, while the clown, who had infiltrated the police force, and his men were preparing to shoot the mayor.
Gordon, who was also at the scene, saw this and rushed forward without thinking, blocking the fatal shot for the mayor.
Just when the bullet was about to hit a fatal part, it suddenly and strangely changed direction and hit a non-fatal part.
Although Gordon was still shot, he could still be saved if he was rescued in time.
The bullet changed like this, so it was naturally done by Luo Ming who was far away at home.
With super vision, super hearing, and telekinesis, Luo Ming can see everything in Gotham City at home.
It's such a pity that a good policeman like Gordon died like this.
Therefore, Luo Ming used his telekinesis to intervene.
At this point, the memorial service had become a mess, and the police began to arrest the clown gang.
The Joker had already escaped during the chaos, but several of his men were caught.
Also at the memorial service, through the clown's accomplices, it was discovered that their next target was Rachel.
He suddenly became worried.
Gordon's experience and the Joker's rampant behavior made Wayne and Harvey angry.
Batman caused chaos in the gang and took the gang leader hostage, hoping to get the Joker's whereabouts from him.
However, the gang boss told the Joker that they didn't know where the Joker was either.
The clown came and went without a trace, and they knew very little about him.
Unable to get the message, Bruce left.
On Harvey's side, after making sure Rachel was safe, he took one of the Joker's accomplices hostage and prepared to force him to reveal the Joker's whereabouts.
Just as he was about to resort to lynching, he was stopped by the arrival of Batman.
If Harvey, who is known as the light of Gotham City, uses punishment without permission and people find out, it will be the end of him.
He asked Harvey to hold a press conference tomorrow, and tomorrow he will come out to expose his identity, thus leading to the Joker.
Harvey was extremely unwilling to accept this and he didn't want Batman to compromise.
However, Batman has made up his mind.
The next day.
Harvey still held a press conference as agreed.
The scene was a bit noisy.
Because of the fear of the Joker, people at the scene shouted for Batman to appear, because without Batman, Gotham City would not get worse.
In this regard, Harvey, standing on the podium under the spotlight, looked heavy-faced. He comforted everyone:
"The night is darkest before dawn, but dawn will always come!"
However, the gang refused to buy it and insisted on capturing Batman.
In this regard, Harvey could only order the arrest of Batman.
Bruce in the crowd saw this and prepared to move forward and admitted that he was Batman.
At this moment, Harvey said something shocking:
"I am Batman!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar at the scene.
"!!!!"
Everyone looked at Harvey in disbelief.
Bruce, on the other hand, was also confused.
It was not until he saw Harvey being handcuffed and taken away by the police that he realized that Harvey was trying to lure the snake out of its hole.
Harvey knows that now is not the time for Batman to be exposed. Gotham needs Batman. If he admits that he is Batman, the Joker will come out to kill him, and then Batman can take the opportunity to catch the Joker.
night.
When the police escorted Harvey into jail.
The clown appeared as expected.
He took his men and began to act.
He first set a fire truck on fire, forcing the escort team to change their route and enter an underground tunnel.
Then, the clown's arranged minions drove their vehicles and launched a bumper car attack on the escort car.
Under the impact of the large truck, the escort team was dispersed.
The Joker opens the door and blows up a car with a bazooka, and just as he is about to continue bombing.
Batman arrives in his Batmobile.
He drove the tank directly and blocked a rocket launcher for the escort vehicle where Harvey was.
The Batmobile was blown up, and the escort vehicle took the opportunity to leave, preparing to use the tunnel.
Seeing this, the Joker pushed the driver away and drove after the car himself.
Batman was not at all panicked when he saw his chariot was destroyed, as he had already anticipated this situation.
He simply abandoned the Batmobile and allocated a motorcycle for it.
Then ride this motorcycle and continue chasing the clown.
The escort vehicle came to the ground and waited for air support.
Gotham officials also anticipated the Joker's appearance and had already prepared various supports. The nearest armed helicopter began to take action, ready to support the escort vehicle.
The Joker is no pushover either. He dared to attack Harvey openly, so he must have been well prepared.
The Joker's men suddenly shot out prepared steel cables between the tall buildings and brought down the helicopter.
Fortunately, after a while, Batman finally caught up with the Joker's truck.
He drove his motorcycle and headed straight at the Joker's truck.
The two sides looked at each other and prepared for a battle!
Ch 287
Looking at the Joker's truck, Batman certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to drive his motorcycle into it.
Before the two were about to collide, Batman turned his head and passed by from the side.
At the same time, he took out the cable that he had prepared long ago, wrapped it around the tire of the truck, and then connected the rope to the surrounding street lights.
Due to the pulling, the rear tires of the truck were locked and the entire truck was flipped forward.
"boom!"
The truck crashed onto the road and the people inside were thrown to the ground.
The clown finally climbed out of the car and staggered to his feet.
Batman drives back and confronts the Joker who has gotten up.
Seeing this, the clown stood in the middle of the road without any fear.
"Come on, hit me!"
The Joker doesn't care at all whether he will die at the hands of Batman.
If Batman really hit him to death, then Batman would have broken his own rules, and after that, Batman would have gone to the other extreme.
Then, his goal was achieved.
Batman looked at the Joker in the middle of the road with a serious expression.
"Ahhhh!!!"
In the end, Batman still deviated from the direction of the motorcycle and spun around to avoid the Joker.
Until the last moment, Batman did not break his principles.
When the Joker saw Batman spinning, his eyes flashed, and it was unclear whether he was disappointed or happy.
The motorcycle spun several times on the ground before finally coming to a stop when it hit the overturned truck.
Batman was hit and lay on the ground, unable to recover.
Upon seeing this, the Joker stepped forward with a dagger in hand, ready to unmask Batman.
At this time, a police car stopped and Gordon got out fully armed.
He pointed a gun at the Joker and arrested him.
In response, the Joker grinned, raised his hands and surrendered.
The Joker was not particularly disappointed about being caught. His face was calm, as if he had expected this situation.
In this way, the Joker was taken back to the police station and put into jail.
The Joker was caught, the city's security was relaxed, and Harvey went home.
As the Joker was caught, the police and people of Gotham City were all jubilant.
The mayor also praised Gordon highly and promoted him to director.
After all, the Joker's actions have caused panic and fear in the hearts of the people of Gotham City.
Gordon's capture of the Joker was truly a great achievement.
...
In the blink of an eye, a day passed.
Something happened again. Harvey disappeared on his way home.
And Rachel was gone.
As soon as Gordon thought about it, he knew it must have been done by the Joker.
He immediately went to the prison to interrogate the whereabouts of the Joker, Harvey and Rachel.
To Gordon, the Joker isn't scary.
Gordon was unable to get any useful information out of him.
So, Batman came to interrogate.
Batman was in the cell, beating up the Joker.
People outside the cell are selectively blind.
The clown was beaten up, but he kept on mocking.
In response, Batman naturally increased his efforts.
Although he doesn't kill people, he will not hold back when beating them.
After being beaten for a while, the Joker spit out two addresses, which were where Harvey and Rachel were.
Rachel's on 10th Street in Cicero and Harvey's at 250 on 52nd Street.
The Joker tells Batman that he now has two choices, but he can only save one.
Batman didn't have time to talk to the Joker, so he turned and left to save Rachel.
Gordon, on the other hand, took people to rescue Harvey.
Rachel and Harvey woke up and found themselves tied up, surrounded by barrels of gasoline and bombs.
The two men immediately realized that they were caught.
At this moment, Harvey found a phone in front of him.
The phone was connected and Rachel's voice came from it.
"Hello, hello"
Harvey quickly replied.
"Is that you, Rachel?"
"It's me, Harvey."
On the other end of the phone, Rachel also recognized from the voice that it was Harvey.
"..."
Then, the two of them discussed their current situation.
Through communication, the two realized that they were caught and in danger.
And Rachel woke up earlier than Harvey and learned more from her kidnappers.
Knowing that the Joker used them to force and threaten Batman.
Both of them were extremely anxious.
Because Rachel knew from her kidnappers that the Joker would only save one of them.
...
The other side.
As soon as Batman and Gordon left, the Joker started to escape from prison.
The Joker had already anticipated that he would be caught.
He was just executing his plan.
The Joker used the backup plan he left behind, the human bomb, and successfully escaped from the police station.
As he escaped, he activated the bomb next to Rachel and Harvey.
The Joker gave the whereabouts of the hostages, so of course he would not watch them being rescued.
He just wants to create tragedy and make Batman suffer.
However, the Joker thought his plan would succeed, but someone outside of his plan stopped him.
...
When the Joker escaped from prison.
52nd Street, in a warehouse.
Rachel was tied to a chair and bombs were scattered around her.
There was obvious fear on Rachel's face.
Just when she was feeling uneasy, the sound of footsteps was heard.
Rachel's face changed drastically and she turned to look into the darkness.
"Who is it?"
A tall figure walked out of the darkness.
When Rachel saw the person's face clearly, she was stunned.
"It's you, Luo Ming!?"
Rachel didn't understand why Luo Ming was here.
In response, Luo Ming chuckled.
"Yes, it's me. Are you surprised?"
When Luo Ming came in front of Rachel, he had an idea and the rope that tied Rachel broke.
"Okay, you're free. Bruce owes me a big favor."
Rachel looked shocked.
Because she didn't even see how Luo Ming did it, her rope broke.
However, now is not the time to think about these things. The most important thing is to quickly escape from this dangerous place.
Rachel followed Luo Ming and left the warehouse.
The other side.
Batman and Gordon split up into two groups to rescue people.
After Batman arrived at the destination ahead of time, he discovered that the person here was Harvey.
Batman immediately realized that the position the Joker had given him was the opposite, and he felt something was wrong, but he also knew that all he could do was to rescue Harvey.
So Batman took Harvey out.
Harvey's face was full of regret at this time.
He would rather it was Rachel who was saved than himself.
He also knew that Rachel had been arrested.
Now that he's been rescued, in other words, Rachel is in danger.
He started calling into the phone, but there was no response.
He had a bad feeling and thought Rachel had been murdered, and he immediately blamed himself.
...
On Gordon's side, after arriving at a warehouse, he discovered that there was a luxury car parked there.
Gordon didn't have time to think about it and prepared to take his men in to rescue people.
Just at this moment, he saw Rachel and a young man walking out of the house.
Just when these two people came out and reached a safe place, the warehouse exploded.
"boom!"
The huge explosion, mixed with orange flames, scared Gordon, Rachel and others.
Rachel looked at the huge explosion in front of her with a look of relief on her face.
If Luo Ming had not appeared in time to save her, she would have died in the explosion.
Gordon also came back to his senses and looked at Luo Ming with a hint of wariness.
He looked at Rachel and asked doubtfully:
"Rachel, I'm glad you're okay. Did he save you?"
Rachel nodded.
"Yes, Mr. Gordon, it was Lo Ming who saved me."
"Let me introduce him to you. His name is Luo Ming, and he is the heir to Luo's Enterprises."
Gordon was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses.
He knew about the existence of the giant Luo's Enterprise.
He had also heard of the name of the heir Luo Ming.
However, Luo Ming was very low-key, so he didn't recognize him at first.
Now after hearing what Rachel said, he realized that Luo Ming looked almost exactly the same as the leaked photos.
"Mr. Luo Ming, thank you very much for your help. If it weren't for you, Prosecutor Rachel would have died in the fire."
At this time, Gordon actually still had a lot of questions, such as what the relationship between Luo Ming and Rachel was.
After all, I had never heard Rachel mention it before.
And why Luo Ming was able to arrive before them and save Rachel is also a question.
Also, is Luo Ming related to the clown? Otherwise, how could he arrive earlier than them?
However, Gordon still knows how to prioritize.
He suppressed the doubts in his mind and thanked Luo Ming first.
Because if Luo Ming hadn't appeared, they would have lost miserably.
In response, Luo Ming smiled slightly.
"You're welcome. I came here to help because I know Batman."
Gordon's heart moved.
Luo Ming's words answered one of his questions.
It turns out that Luo Ming appeared here because of Batman.
At this time, someone from the police station called and told Gordon that the Joker had escaped from prison.
Moreover, when the Joker escaped from prison, he also rescued Mr. Liu who was arrested by them.
Gordon suppressed his anger, forced a smile, and said to Luo Ming:
"Mr. Luo Ming, why don't you come with us and go to a safe place first."
Luo Ming nodded and agreed.
Rachel got into a police car and rode back to the police station.
Luo Ming followed closely behind in his own car.
The other side.
This side of Cicero Street.
Batman and Harvey both looked at the fire in front of them with pain and confusion on their faces.
As they were fleeing from the house, the bomb exploded.
If they hadn't escaped in time, they would have been killed in the explosion.
However, Harvey was still affected and half of his face was blown off.
Harvey didn't pay much attention to this.
He and Bruce were suffering from Rachel's death.
After being sad for a while, Batman was the first to come to his senses. He suppressed his grief and prepared to take Harvey away to heal.
Just then, a phone call came.
Batman picked it up and saw that it was a call from Gordon.
He hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call.
Just as he was mentally prepared and waiting for Gordon to speak and confirm the news of Rachel's death.
A familiar female voice sounded.
"Batman, are you and Harvey okay?"
Batman was shocked when he heard this.
He wasn't concerned with the caller's problem, but the person who was speaking.
"Rachel? It's you, are you okay?"
"Didn't they say you died in the explosion?"
"No, I'm fine. It was Luo Ming. He suddenly appeared and saved me."
"..."
Rachel told Batman in a few words how Luo Ming saved her.
Batman was stunned when he heard Rachel's words.
He thought about it a lot, but he never expected that it was Luo Ming who appeared in time to save Rachel.
After all, in his opinion, Luo Ming had no intention of getting involved in the clown incident.
"Luo Ming, Gordon and I are rushing back to the police station. You guys should come over soon. We will meet up there."
"Okay, no problem."
After hanging up the phone, Batman looked at the stunned Harvey.
At this time, Harvey had not yet recovered from the joy of Rachel being rescued.
Batman was troubled when he saw this, but he still explained it to him.
"Let's go back to the police station first. I'll tell you about Luo Ming on the way."
"Okay, no problem."
Harvey endured the pain and followed Batman back to the police station.
Near the police station, they met Rachel and Luo Ming.
Gordon was dealing with the Joker's prison break and had no time to wait for Batman.
When the two sides meet, it is natural that they can't avoid asking about each other's well-being.
However, given that Harvey was injured and his injuries were quite serious, Rachel took him to the police station to receive treatment from the rescue team.
Because the Joker escaped from prison, many people in the police station were injured and a rescue team arrived.
Harvey was in treatment.
After Rachel and Harvey left, the space for conversation was left to Batman and Lomin.
Batman looked at Luo Ming with interest, paused, and finally said in a heavy voice:
"Luo Ming, thank you this time. If it weren't for you, Rachel would be in danger."
In response to Batman's thanks, Luo Ming waved his hand and said bluntly:
"I didn't save people for free. I saved Rachel, but I want you to repay me. What do you think?"
Batman was stunned, but nodded.
"No problem, whatever reward you want, as long as it does not violate my principles, I will try my best to satisfy you."
Luo Ming asked Bruce back.
"What do you think I'm missing?"
He wanted to see what reward Batman could give him.
Could it be that they are giving up on all the plans against him?
Batman is now thinking about how to repay Luo Ming.
In terms of money, Luo Ming, as the heir to the Luo Group, is richer than him.
Moreover, the Rockwell Group also has shares in the Wayne Group, so Bruce feels that the financial aspect can be ruled out.
However, apart from money, Bruce couldn't think of anything that could be used as a reward.
With his money power ineffective, Batman is a little at a loss.
After thinking for a while, Batman said tentatively: "You are not short of money. I have some high-tech equipment and can make high-tech equipment for you. Do you want it?"
"Or maybe I can package some technology and send it to you?"
Luo Ming looked at Bruce calmly, pointed at his car and said:
"Do you think I would lack this kind of thing?"
Batman's expression froze.
The Rockwell group is a huge enterprise, so it is not impossible for them to get some high-tech from the government.
And judging from the cars displayed before, Luo Ming has mastered a lot of high-tech.
"You don't have anything valuable to offer right now, so it's okay for you to owe me a big favor."
Batman smiled bitterly, it was the hardest to repay a debt of favor, but he had no choice but to accept it, since he couldn't afford the reward.
"no problem."
Ch 288
Bruce looked at Luo Ming, his thoughts turning.
Luo Ming was able to lead them to rescue Rachel ahead of time. Both his intelligence and mobility were extraordinary. Wayne was thinking about whether to ask Luo Ming for help.
Because clowns are kind of scary.
If Luo Ming hadn't taken action today, Rachel would have been doomed.
After thinking for a while, Wayne rejected the idea.
The clown was coming for him, and he didn't want to involve innocent people.
So Wayne said goodbye to Luo Ming and left.
Luo Ming watched Batman leave, shrugged, and drove away in his car.
As for going to the police station to give a statement, Luo Ming refused.
Originally, according to the rules, he was supposed to cooperate with the police and give a routine statement.
In response, Luo Ming produced relevant documents and was exempted from these chores.
Having been here for so long, he would naturally get some documents to facilitate his actions.
...
The other side.
The Joker escaped from prison and took Mr. Liu to a safe place.
When he got the news from the insider that Rachel and Harvey were rescued, his expression suddenly became gloomy.
"You said Rachel was rescued?"
"Yes, boss."
I answered with fear.
"Who saved her?"
"Our people said that a young man named Luo Ming seemed to have saved her."
"Luo Ming."
There was a mad look in the Joker's eyes.
Kidnapping Rachel and Harvey, forcing Batman to make a choice between two options, and then causing tragedy, turning the city's light of justice into an extremist.
It was his plan.
Now, the sudden appearance of Luo Ming can be said to have directly destroyed his plan.
Although Harvey's face was disfigured, it was basically useless.
With current technology, there is a great chance of curing Harvey's burns.
Therefore, the Joker is very unhappy now.
"Is this Luo Ming the heir of Luo's Enterprise?"
"According to the investigation, he is the heir to Luo's Enterprises."
"Very good, I want to see what this guy is like."
At this time, the Joker already had an idea of how to deal with Luo Ming.
He will not easily let go of anyone who ruins his plan.
The Joker didn't know much about Luo Ming.
When he was planning to rob a bank, he was mainly targeting the dirty money made by the gangs.
Although Rockwell Bank is also very rich, the Joker gave up after learning about the other party's security strength.
Now that Luo Ming has taken the initiative to get involved in his affairs, the Joker feels that he needs to get to know Luo Ming better.
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.
The Joker is crazy, chaotic, and acts without restraint.
But before he takes action, he always has a plan.
The Joker is a smart guy and never acts blindly.
Turning to look at Mr. Liu, the clown said with a smile:
"Where did you put the money? Can you tell me?"
Mr. Liu had previously transferred hundreds of millions of black money from the Gotham City gang to a place only he knew. The Joker rescued him, naturally, for the black money.
The Joker is not interested in money or anything like that, but he knows that if he wants others to be willing to work with him, relevant interests are essential.
Otherwise, relying solely on violence will not work.
Moreover, he needs money to make bombs or buy bombs.
Before, he thought about getting this dirty money and then burning it to prove to the Gotham underworld that he was not in it for such vulgar things as money.
Now, the Joker feels that this money might be useful in dealing with Luo Ming, at least it can help him get a lot of explosives.
Mr. Liu naturally couldn't refuse the clown's question.
This is the condition for the Joker to rescue him.
Mr. Liu quickly told the Joker where the black money was.
Then, the Joker took him and his men to a hidden underground warehouse in Gotham City.
After entering, you can see US dollars piled up into a small mountain.
Previously, all of this money was deposited in major banks in Gotham. Mr. Liu transferred them from the banks, but there was no way to transfer them out of Gotham City safely, so he could only deposit them in Gotham City.
Now it's all cheap to the clown.
Seeing these US dollars, the clown took a look and didn't pay much attention.
Turning around and seeing his younger brother with red eyes and an angry look, the clown laughed wildly.
These people still cannot escape these worldly things.
But he didn't care. He turned around and asked his younger brother to notify the arms boss to come here because he wanted to buy arms.
I took the order and left.
A few hours later, a Gotham City gangster who specialized in arms arrived at the place.
The Joker said that a large amount of munitions and explosives were needed.
The arms boss said it was no problem, the money here was more than enough to buy all his arms.
After talking about business, the Joker asked the arms tycoon about the Luo Enterprises.
"Do you know Luo's Enterprises?"
"If I give you this money and ask you to deal with Luo's Enterprises, will you do it?"
When the arms boss heard what the clown said, his face suddenly changed.
Seeing that the clown didn't seem to be joking, the arms boss advised:
"For the sake of this big business, I advise you to give up on attacking Luo's Enterprise."
"You have to know that Rockwell Enterprises is not only very powerful in Gotham City, it is also the largest force in this country."
"Although Luo's Enterprises basically remains neutral, they also have many followers in the official circles."
"Besides, the other party also has a huge arms company. Although I have a lot of arms, compared with them, they are just small things."
"Also, do you know why we can only do these arms businesses that are not up to standard? That's because the regular businesses in Gotham City are all monopolized by Rockwell Enterprises, Wayne Enterprises, etc."
"..."
The arms tycoon tells the story of the horror of Luo's Enterprise.
The clown smiled weirdly after hearing this.
He has not been idle during these few hours. Naturally, he has used his own power to search for information about Luo Ming and Luo's Enterprise.
The more you know, the more you will realize how powerful and terrifying Luo's Enterprise is.
If it weren't for repeated confirmation, the Joker would have thought that Rockwell Enterprises was the leader of this country.
Of course, with the power of Rockwell Group, it is not inferior to any powerful country in the world.
But the Joker is not someone who will give up just because he sees his opponent is too strong.
So he began to plan and try to deal with Luo Ming and Luo Enterprises.
...
A few days passed.
The people of Gotham City were relieved to find that the Joker did not continue to cause trouble.
Batman and Gordon are tracking the Joker's whereabouts day and night.
They knew that the Joker was definitely not the kind of person who would give up easily.
The previous plan has failed, and there will definitely be a bigger conspiracy coming.
So they have been tracking the whereabouts of the clown, but they can't find any useful clues.
...
On the streets of Gotham.
Rockwell Bank.
The store is open for business as usual.
Suddenly, a few thugs with strange movements entered the Luo's Bank.
The security personnel in the bank immediately noticed these people.
After the previous robbery of Gotham Bank, the security factors of major banks in Gotham City have skyrocketed.
As the leading bank in Gotham City, Rockwell Banker has naturally increased its security capabilities.
Several security guards approached these thugs calmly.
Generally speaking, they won't do that.
Because there are so many gangsters in Gotham City, there are some people who will deposit their money in Rockwell Bank.
The main problem is that these thugs' behavior is too inappropriate.
Not only was he wearing a mask, he was also carrying a large package, and his eyes were looking around, as if he was ready to do something bad.
The gangsters also noticed the security guard approaching. Suddenly, they looked at each other and knew it was time to take action.
They were arranged by the Joker to cause trouble, and their personal qualities are just so-so. Most of them are mentally ill and have mental tendencies.
Even if they had to cause trouble in the bank, they were not afraid at all.
The thugs looked at each other, then immediately took out pistols from the packages they were carrying and pointed them at the security guard.
"Don't move!"
Several security guards reacted quickly and put their hands on their gun bags a moment before the gangsters took action.
They opened fire before the thugs pointed their guns at them.
"Bang bang bang!!!"
There was a burst of gunfire inside the bank lobby.
The ordinary people among them were so scared that they hid themselves immediately.
As qualified ugly Chinese, they hid as soon as the gunfight broke out.
The security guards and the thugs started to open fire and the scene instantly became one-sided.
Several security guards acted quickly, had skilled shooting skills and worked in perfect harmony.
He doesn't look like an ordinary security guard at all, but a well-trained soldier.
In fact, Luo's Enterprises has set up a security company specifically for this purpose, and the minimum standard for recruiting people is all kinds of veterans.
They will then receive concentrated training and be assigned to various companies within the Luo Group to protect the safety of Luo companies.
For an important place like a bank, the security force is definitely stricter than usual.
And it's a place like Gotham City, which is full of criminals.
If there were someone knowledgeable here, they would know that the skills and military qualities of these security guards are definitely not worse than those of elite troops.
With the tacit cooperation of several security guards, several thugs were soon killed or injured.
After a while, only one gangster was left dead.
Soon, the police arrived and took away the remaining gangsters and the bodies of those who were shot.
At the same time, because of the shooting, Rockwell Bank will definitely have to suspend operations for a period of time.
at the same time.
In Gotham City, all shops, stores, companies, etc. related to Rockefeller Corporation have been harassed and destroyed to varying degrees.
Because the defense forces had different strengths and weaknesses, some industries suffered more serious losses.
The fact that Luo's Enterprise was being targeted was quickly reported up the chain of command and reached Luo Ming.
In Luo's Manor.
Luo Ming is basking in the sun leisurely.
Suddenly, the voice of Skynet rang out.
"Boss, there are people in Gotham City targeting Luo's Enterprises."
A virtual projection appeared in front of Luo Ming, and the scene of Luo's industry being destroyed by various enemies appeared on it.
Luo Ming looked normal.
"Have you found out who is behind this?"
"According to the investigation, the clown is the mastermind behind this."
The screen flashed and a projection of the Joker appeared in front of him.
Luo Ming was somewhat uninterested in this.
Gordon and Batman couldn't find any trace of the Joker, but that didn't matter to him.
With Skynet's level of technology, it would be easy to search the entire city for traces of the Joker.
After all, it's impossible for him not to use technological products.
Secondly, Luo Ming also has super vision and super hearing, so it is easy for him to find the clown.
Originally, Luo Ming was too lazy to take action and just watched Batman and the Joker fight.
After all, if he takes action, it would be like using a star destroyer to kill a mosquito, a dimensionality reduction attack.
The two sides are not on the same level at all.
Although the Joker is extremely intelligent, he has the physical fitness of an ordinary person and cannot even be defeated by Batman.
Therefore, Luo Ming didn't want to take action.
However, the clown seemed to want to deal with him, and Luo Ming didn't mind using force.
So Luo Ming gave the order to start the operation of Luo's enterprise.
It didn't take long for the thugs, gang members, mental patients, etc. who destroyed Luo's industry to be caught by the police.
Then, according to the law, those who should be fined will be fined, those who should be imprisoned will be imprisoned, and those who should be shot will be shot.
Originally, there was no death penalty in Gotham City, but Luo Ming had arranged people to enter the judicial system and officials, etc., and changed the laws of Gotham City.
Therefore, there is a death penalty here.
Unlike in the original novel, the bad guys caught by Batman stay in jail for a while and then escape.
No one who deserves the death penalty can escape.
...
In a hidden warehouse.
The Joker and his men are here.
The younger brother is reporting information to the clown.
When he arranged people to deal with Luo's industry, he naturally had to see the situation.
After listening to all the information, the Joker found that most of his plans had failed.
Some important industries have strong security forces, and the people he arranged basically failed.
The Joker was not surprised by this.
Most of the criminals in Gotham City are low-level personnel, not well-trained elites, so it is normal for them to fail.
After knowing the result, the Joker focused on how to deal with Luo Ming.
After some investigation, the Joker has found out that Luo Ming is currently living in Luo Manor in Gotham City. The Joker has decided to bring people into Luo Manor and kidnap Luo Ming directly.
Lomin seems to have a good relationship with Batman, and the Joker plans to use Lomin to threaten Batman.
The Joker has already guessed Batman's true identity.
However, he just wants Batman to admit his identity, so he targets Batman many times.
Now, the Joker began to think about what plan he should prepare to deal with Batman after capturing Lomin.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly realized that someone was coming.
A man in a bat suit appeared from the darkness and stared at him fiercely.
When the Joker saw that it was Batman, he was visibly stunned.
"Why are you here? How did you find me?"
The Joker usually does not reveal his whereabouts until he has planned an action.
If someone could find him, it was all intentional on his part, ready to carry out his plan.
Now that Batman suddenly appears, the Joker, who is in control of everything, feels out of control.
Batman didn't answer, but stared at the Joker with anger on his face.
"You can't escape, I'm going to catch you!"
