Chapter 2033 Knight's Night of Terror (Seventeen)

With Gordon's help, Peter sorted out the timeline.

Two months ago, the Joker created the Titan virus. When he got the virus, he realized that a good opportunity had come.

So he pretended to use the virus to create more villains, and even broke into Arkham Asylum, but was eventually subdued.

This seems to be another evil plan of the Joker to destroy Gotham, but Xiang Zhuang dances with the sword to aim at Pei Gong, and these are just appearances.

The Joker privately used the Joker virus in his blood to infect five ordinary people, and determined that the Joker virus would make the infected people have some of the Joker's characteristics.

A month and a half ago, Batman accidentally discovered ordinary people infected with the Joker virus, but at that time he had not fully anticipated the Joker's plan, but was still running for the Titan virus, just sending these infected ordinary people to the base.

A month ago, Batman was transfused with blood by the Joker, and the two had a decisive battle in the Gotham Grand Theater. In the end, the Joker died because of the outbreak of the Titan virus and failed to get the antidote in time.

Three weeks ago, Batman entered the fighting world and met Peter, and was even willing to pay a huge price to let Peter come to his universe.

Two weeks ago, Peter began to explore the city and found the clues that Scarecrow buried the fear gas to create an accident. He formulated and began to implement his plan. The first step was to kidnap Black Mask.

A week ago, Scarecrow and Penguin reached a deal. Penguin provided Scarecrow with arms and military transportation to carry out his fear gas destruction plan.

A few days ago, Gordon discovered the base where Batman detained the Joker virus infected people, and the two had a disagreement.

It can be seen that there are two strange things about Batman's behavior in this series of events.

First, Batman already had two Robins, but he still insisted on getting Peter here, even at a huge price.

Second, Batman locked up all the Joker virus infected people, but neither gave them treatment nor took very strict detention measures. He just left them there.

It is difficult for Peter not to connect these two points together.

It is certain that Batman did not expect Peter to have his own plan at first, and he acted so decisively.

But Peter must have a place in Batman's original plan, otherwise he would not have had to spend a lot of money to hire Peter when he already had two young helpers.

So why did Batman hire himself when he had two Robins and a prophet Barbara?

Peter thought, what is the biggest difference between him and the two Robins and Barbara?

What made Batman hire him?

Peter's first thought was his scientific research ability, but he thought it was wrong. Before he told about his scientific research experience, Batman had already shown a clear tendency to recruit.

So before he introduced himself, what was worth Batman's attention?

At that time, because of the conflict between Jack and Jason, he and Batman were trying to stop the fight at the same time, which led to a fight between him and Batman. It was at that time that Batman's attention shifted to him.

In other words, Batman still values ​​his force?

Peter's head was already a little fuming.

Is this the world of conspirators? This is no longer a one-step-and-three-step plan. This is a three-year plan to lay the clues for five years. No matter what it is, it must be deduced to the initial time point to find a trace.

Weaving a web is too difficult! A spider roared in his heart.

But complaining is complaining, Peter still has to think about it. If Batman values ​​his force, especially the part that is stronger than his two Robins, then who is Peter Parker going to deal with in Batman's original plan?

This range of choices is too wide. Gotham is not short of criminals with high force values, but if you think about it carefully, no villain must hire a martial arts master from another universe to fight.

With the experience of being plotted against by Batman just now, Peter understands that no matter which villain Batman wants to deal with, as long as he prepares early, it is difficult to fail. It seems that there is no force-based villain that must be dealt with by him.

Then Peter thought of Batman's act of imprisoning patients with the Joker virus. He thought that this act should have something to do with his hiring himself.

And if we follow the previous line of thought, Batman actually wanted to get rid of the Joker's entanglement by letting other people become Jokers, so why didn't he do it immediately?

Although Batman has been busy because of Peter's special plan after the outbreak of the fear gas disaster, he still has time to go to the base to carry out the operation.

Peter felt that he still lacked some understanding of Batman, so he told his analysis to Poison Ivy and Gordon, wanting to see if he could use their understanding of Batman to analyze the reason why Batman did this.

Poison Ivy didn't give any useful clues, but Gordon said: "No, Batman won't do this."

"The ones infected with the Joker virus are patients, but not criminals. Even if they are criminals, even criminals as heinous as the Joker, Batman wants to save them."

"If he resurrects the Joker in other people, wouldn't it be equivalent to not only not saving them, but also harming them? Batman is a superhero, how could he do this?"

Peter was stunned, then he patted his forehead and found that he was limited by his own thinking.

His previous plan to resurrect the clown was to resurrect him out of thin air, because Peter had previously participated in Helen and Venom's plan to steal electricity. The red bees in his body had consumed a lot of magical power, which gave Peter some understanding of magic.

So his concept of resurrection is similar to drawing a magic circle, performing some operations, and then resurrecting people out of thin air.

So when he thought about Batman's resurrection plan, he didn't pay attention to the fact that if there was a carrier for resurrection, it would definitely involve some ethical and moral issues.   If you resurrect the clown in someone else, isn't it equivalent to killing that person himself? Killing an innocent patient to resurrect a super criminal completely breaks the moral bottom line. In most cases, ordinary people would not be willing to do it, let alone a superhero.

"Wait a minute." Poison Ivy obviously knew more about the Joker, so she said, "This is the Joker's real conspiracy."

Poison Ivy analyzed quickly: "In fact, after the clown virus infection experiment is completed, the clown can kill the experimental subjects. He is not a soft-hearted person. Killing people is easier than drinking water."

"But he didn't do this. It is very likely that he knew that Batman would not ignore these patients. Even the clues about those infected with the Joker virus were deliberately left by the Joker to Batman."

"So what is the purpose of the clown doing this?" Gordon asked.

"This will put Batman into a dilemma." Poison Ivy stretched out two fingers, clasped one of them, and said: "Either tolerate the Joker living in his body, or kill the Joker virus in the body of those infected. The souls of innocent people resurrected the Joker in others.”

"In other words, the Joker just wants to lure Batman into killing innocent people to get rid of the pain."

"And the Titan virus was not the beginning of this plan. This plan should have started when the Joker kidnapped Jason Todd."

"Because only when the Joker keeps playing the images of Jason being tortured in Batman's mind can Batman feel the pain and take extreme measures to get rid of the Joker."

"Whether it's the disappearance of Jason Todd, the outbreak of the Titan virus, the emergence of people infected with the Joker virus, or now the disaster of fear gas, it's all to make Batman make a choice."

"Sacrifice yourself, fall into the pain of memories forever, or even become the next clown, or harm others, kill an innocent person with your own hands, and resurrect your enemy at the same time?"

When Poison Ivy finished speaking, Peter and Gordon were speechless and choked.

"What a madman!" Gordon cursed. Even now, he can still have a new understanding of the clown's madness.

"So what if someone else resurrects the clown?" Peter thought, "Not using those patients with the clown virus, but resurrecting them out of thin air. That was my plan from the beginning."

"How do you plan to resurrect out of thin air?" Poison Ivy asked a little surprised: "Do you have the relevant power?"

"I have a certain amount of magical energy, but I'm not sure it can be used in this world." Peter said seriously: "But I know there must be magic in this world."

Poison Ivy nodded and said, "That's true. If you use magic, you may be able to be resurrected out of thin air. But the problem is that the essence of magic is borrowing. Who are you going to ask to borrow?"

At this moment, Peter suddenly had a glimmer of understanding.

"Wait a minute, madam, does your cosmic magic also rely on debt?"

Poison Ivy nodded again and said: "Most of them are like this, or they have reached a contract. For example, after I reach a contract with some mysterious existence, I can use their power, but I also have to do things for them."

"That seems to be similar to my universe." Peter's face suddenly showed a complicated expression, and he continued.

"So what if, I mean what if, I borrowed their debt and went to a place they couldn't go?"

Poison Ivy opened her mouth slightly, and she instinctively replied: "Where they can't go? But where are they... Wait, you don't want to default on your debt, do you?"

Peter showed a dumbfounded expression and said, "It's not that I want to default on the debt, it's because someone wants me to default on the debt."

He pressed his forehead and thought, isn't the biggest difference between him and all Batman's assistants and people he knows, that he is not a local resident, but comes from a very distant universe?

It is impossible for Batman to have no understanding of the magic of this universe. Of course, he knows that resurrection requires a price, and the price of resurrecting a person out of thin air may be very high. It would be very difficult for them to make anyone pay the price for his plan. Not fair.

But is this price necessary to pay?

It might have been true in the past. After all, even if the local indigenous residents ran to the ends of the earth, they would still be overtaken by these powerful beings.

But not Spider-Man.

Then Peter realized that this Batman had watched the whole process of the existence game of Dr. Schiller, Iron Man, etc. in their universe.

Whether it's Dr. Schiller, Mr. Stark, His Highness Loki, or His Majesty the Sorcerer Supreme, they all have some magical attributes, and they don't seem to be easy to mess with.

In other words, Batman had made up his mind from the very beginning to spend money to hire Peter. The purpose was to let Peter borrow money from powerful beings, resurrect the Joker out of thin air, then return to the city on the spot and pay off the debt.

Then there will be two consequences. One is that the creditor has no ability to chase to another universe, and the account is completely ruined. The other is that the creditor chases and is beaten up by this group of people who are not easy to mess with, or even directly put into the pot.

Wait, Peter thought again, Batman saw Dr. Schiller's performance throughout the game and bargained with him. He probably understood that Schiller's style is to pay money and not life.

So suppose Peter brought a group of creditors back to the city, Peter went in, and the creditors were locked outside the door.

So did Batman have thought that there would be a group of people who are not easy to mess with and do not pick up things on the road, and kindly picked up the creditors who knocked on the door?

And as Batman who made this plan and delivered the goods to the door, should he also receive some rewards?

Thinking of this, Peter could no longer hold back his sigh.

Batman and the Joker, these two crazy people, every duel is to weave a seamless piece of clothing with time as the spool, emotion as the spindle, observation as the needle, and reasoning as the buckle.

They dress up in their best clothes, make their appearance on stage, and then dance together, creating a double spectacle of human wisdom and madness.
