Chapter 81 Forecast
Chapter 81 Forecast
Chapter 81 Forecast
My name is Bane, I am 26 years old, and I am a hero of justice.
My minions, the Birdman, the Caveman, and the Zombies, have been captured by the evil Batman.
He used them as hostages to coerce me into his lair, and he forced me to arrive at Arkham Asylum four days later for a final showdown with him.
I know for sure that in four days, Batman will have completely taken control of the claws he stole from the Court of Owls, and the lunatics in Arkham Asylum will no longer be as rigid as they were when he controlled them with the Mad Hatter's chip. Batman will persuade all the lunatics to help him.
In other words, I would be in a very unfavorable situation: fighting against the entire Gotham with only the prisoners in Blackgate, a few dozen tanks, myself, and the Joker.
I can't win. Even if I could crush all of the Bat Demon King's minions, I would still find it difficult to defeat him when I'm exhausted.
But thankfully... I still have a trump card that no one knows about.
A mysterious person, an unknown mysterious person, not only provided me with a large amount of money and intelligence, and guided me to steal nuclear bombs, but just now, he even gave me a new nuclear bomb after I lost mine.
According to him, he bought it from the Penguin a few years ago. What a prescient madman... But that doesn't matter. What matters is that I have new chips, and I can get back to the gambling table.
This time, I will not underestimate my opponent.
I suspect that Batman may already know that I possess a new nuclear bomb.
Since nuclear weapons are already an open secret, I might as well bring them into the open.
The Joker, an ally I could betray at any moment. I'm going to push him to the forefront to distract Batman.
And I can be in the shadows...
This time, I will not lose.
P.S.: The Joker made me a suggestion: since Batman can kidnap my people, I can kidnap Batman's people too.
This is a constructive suggestion.
……
……
……
The sun has set.
Lucius, the technical director of Wayne Group, is having dinner in his office.
As he swallowed his second bite of steak, he saw Batman silently appear behind him in the reflection of his glass.
Before the other person could even wipe their mouth, Chen Tao cut to the chase:
"Lucius, I require you to create a device capable of interfering with a nuclear bomb explosion."
He explained, "No matter what kind of nuclear bomb it is, it must be stopped from exploding."
Lucius stared at him speechlessly.
"What do you take me for, some blue cat robot that can conjure up gadgets just by making a wish?"
"Liquid fuel introduction, launch control system, fuse..."
"At what specific step do you want to stop it?"
"I don't care, we have to stop it at every step." Chen Tao disregarded everything else and issued a domineering order: "You know what we're facing, and you know very well that we must stop it at every step. I suspect..."
He said, "Well, in short, Murphy's Law tells us that things always go wrong, and we have to be prepared. I have to do whatever it takes."
"..."
"Okay, I got it." Wayne Technologies' chief scientist, Lucius, raised his hands in surrender. He said, "Okay, okay, it's not difficult. It's just some interference... I'll be able to make this thing soon."
"There's one more thing. You've come at the right time. The nano-embedded bomb you asked me to make is ready. Once it's inserted into the body, it can blow off a person's limbs in no time—"
Lucius took a large bag of nano-bombs from the safe next to him, and Chen Tao reached out and took it.
He turned and sat back down in his seat, used his knife and fork to cut the potatoes on his plate in half, and then continued:
"This is actually a bit cruel, to be honest... I hope you use it with caution."
Chen Tao nodded silently: "This is the last line of defense for controlling those Arkham people. Amanda Waller's methods are sometimes necessary."
(Amanda Waller, a U.S. government official and leader of a suicide squad, specializes in implanting nanotech bombs in the necks of criminals and then using them to do their jobs.)
“Alright,” Lucius continued, “but there’s one more thing, please allow me to ask: what’s the deal with the nuclear bombs? Could it be—”
Before Lucius could finish speaking, he turned around and found that there was no one behind him.
He put down his cutlery: "Oh, come on."
After saying goodbye to Lucius, Chen Tao rushed to Jim Gordon's house without stopping.
"Knock knock knock!"
Chen Tao knocked on the door twice, not caring if he disturbed others.
Gordon's daughter, Barbara Gordon, left Gotham to receive treatment for her spinal cord injury several years ago, and now lives alone.
"Here it comes, here it comes."
Director Gordon, wearing pink pajamas, opened the door, and Chen Tao's serious face immediately came into view.
"Ah, you're here." He said instinctively, "I've been really bothered by that murder you committed lately..."
But before he could finish speaking, he saw Chen Tao snap his fingers, and then a large, sticky lump of mud seeped in through the window next to him.
"Oh, damn it!"
"That's what Director Gordon said."
"Let me introduce myself, Gordon. This is Mudman, and I..."
Chen Tao originally wanted to say "the villain I recently subdued", but the mud-faced man suddenly transformed his eyes into huge, crystal-clear ones, sparkling with a hopeful light, and his clothes also transformed into Robin's uniform.
"I...my...cough, my beloved Robin."
"?"
"That's not the point. The important thing is—"
Chen Tao clapped his hands again, and then five or six sharp claws kicked through the window and appeared in the room.
"Ha, so now you're the villain leader, aren't you?" Gordon said.
Ignoring Chief Gordon's complaint, "Hey, these are new windows, and they're on my house," Chen Tao continued:
"No time for words, Jim, you're in danger right now."
"It's always been dangerous for me in this city, I'm used to it." Gordon scoffed, then said, "What now?"
Chen Tao gave him a brief explanation of the agreement made four days later.
"I still don't understand what this has to do with me."
Chen Tao replied, "When I watched TV dramas before, I always complained that the good guys knew that the villains had no bottom line, but they still didn't send their colleagues and families to be protected. Instead, they let them live in their own homes like fools until they were taken hostage by the villains."
This is a direct criticism of a TV series called Gotham in Chen Tao's previous life, where the death of the Penguin's mother was almost predictable from the very first episode of the first season.
Chen Tao had been full of complaints when he watched it back then, so now that it was his turn, he naturally wouldn't make such a basic mistake.
Whether it's Bane or the Joker, the concept of a bottom line seems to be completely foreign to them.
Chen Tao would not allow himself to be put in a disadvantageous situation where he was threatened with hostages by the other side.
"So I have to protect you, Jim. I have to make sure you're not taken hostage until everything is settled."
"What a joke! I'm the Gotham City Sheriff. What kind of sheriff deserts his post?"
Jim Gordon unsurprisingly refused Chen Tao: "Batman, I appreciate your kindness, but I have duties to perform. Besides, you killed someone before—"
Glug glug glug glug glug glug...
Before Gordon could finish speaking, a large piece of the mud-faced man's body, about one-fifth of its original size, broke off and fell to the ground, quickly transforming back into Gordon's likeness.
"I'm sorry, Gordon. I'm not consulting you. I know this is different from how I've done things in the past, but it's necessary."
Chen Tao said, "To prevent you from being kidnapped and taken hostage, I have no choice but to kidnap you first. Please understand."
Gordon turned to run, but as soon as he turned around, he bumped into Chen Tao, who appeared behind him. Then, the black sand in Chen Tao's hand condensed into a black stick.
He collapsed to the ground, completely unconscious!
Bang!
Chen Tao stuffed the unconscious Jim Gordon into a sack, then ran off with the Mudman; they had another kidnapping target to meet.
Only the fake Chief Gordon was left in his room. He stepped on the broken glass and went to bed as if nothing had happened.
"Let's get someone to fix the windows tomorrow," he muttered to himself, as if he really were Jim Gordon.
And recommending books to friends.
