Chapter 576 I, the Clown (Sixteen)

The night continues...

At this moment, under the high platform of Bat Castle.

In the past, they had only one purpose for coming here, which was to worship. But tonight, they came to demand killing.

"Hand over the bat!" "Kill that liar!" "Let him come out!" shouted one after another from the crowd.

They are angry, they are passionate, they are impulsive, they are crazy.

It all...started with that smiley face sign in the sky. That smile seemed to have a magical power, implanting rebellious emotions in everyone's heart. Feng Bujue's outstanding speech became the final catalyst.

"Sir, the situation is about to get out of control." On the high platform, a Robin quickly ran to Gordon's side and reported, "There are too many people surrounding the castle, and our troops are simply not enough..." He paused. For a second, the expression on his face became very strange, "They haven't launched a frontal attack yet, but that is only a matter of time. Once they start to advance..."

"Okay, you don't need to report these things." the_bruce's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting the "Robin's narration."

The Robin was startled when he heard the sound. He turned his head quickly and found the_bruce standing two meters away from him: "Yes...I'm sorry, sir, I didn't see you..."

"I know." the_bruce said, "I'm testing the optical camouflage function of this suit of armor." He walked forward slowly, his tone as calm as ever, "It seems pretty good."

"You should go back to your post first." Only then did Gordon speak, signaling the Robin to step back. After the latter left, Gordon turned to Bruce and said, "It seems... we underestimated the clown's ability to incite."

"Well... not necessarily." the_bruce mused, "Actually, the tastes of this group of mobs have changed... After so many years of showing off, they have gradually forgotten my true strength. This group of people are tired of those so-called The blood of super criminals... they want my blood."

"But we have an absolutely superior force in our hands." Gordon continued, "Those rabble-rousers don't have airships or armored vehicles, let alone heavy weapons..."

the_bruce replied: "Huh... superior strength? A total of more than a thousand troops. I don't know how many of them... have already had the idea of ​​​​against me." He paused, "Although the population of this city is small. After years of war, there has been decline and reverse growth, but there are still nearly a million people. The signal soldier just said a lot, our troops are simply not enough, even if we can exchange one for ten, or even one for the enemy. Hundreds, it doesn’t help.”

When Gordon heard this, a strange thought flashed through his mind, but he remained calm on the surface.

"Faith," the_bruce continued, "is the most solid barrier. If their faith collapses, then they will tear my 'god' into pieces and elect a new one - just like I did before. He snorted coldly, "Hmph... In this game, that 'clown' has the absolute upper hand. He is very powerful... and not only his skills, but his strategy and courage are even more powerful." It surprises me. However..." He immediately changed the topic, "... No matter how strong the victory is, there is still the possibility of being overturned before it becomes a real victory. "

The words end here. The scheming King of Gotham has come up with a plan.

"Gordon..." the_bruce said, "I thought of a plan..." He looked at the other person, "But I need your help."

Gordon's expression changed slightly, and after a moment's consideration he responded: "I will serve you, Master."

"You take my place." the_bruce said.

"What!" Gordon's first reaction was - this is a trap, "No...how dare I..."

"Of course I don't want you to really replace me." the_bruce immediately answered, "I want you to pretend to be an uprising and swear to overthrow me. And I... will cooperate with you in a play..." he explained, "Anyway Those mobs don’t know my true appearance (according to the original setting of the comic, the_bruce’s face has already been integrated with the bat mask. He can’t take off the mask at all). When the time comes, we will find a scapegoat and put the bat mask on him. , just throw it out.”

While Gordon was listening to the other party's words, he was thinking in his mind... In fact, he had indeed thought about defecting. If possible, he didn't want to act. He wanted to throw the real Bruce down and replace him as the god of Gotham. .

But...he still lacks that kind of courage after all, because he is not "Gordon". The real Commissioner Gordon died more than half a century ago. Gordon, who serves as the_bruce's number one minion, is actually a Robin...

He was the first Robin to follow Bruce. When he was thirty years old, he underwent "plastic surgery" by Dr. Clipper and transformed into the legendary "Director Gordon". He is the prophet of the Bat God, and the titular chief executive of Gotham City.

"Okay...I'll do it right now..." After Gordon made up his mind, he turned to the two soldiers ten meters away and said loudly, "You two, go and prepare a body that is close to the Bat God immediately. And put him in a bat suit."

The two men looked at each other, hesitated for two seconds before replying in unison: "Yes! Sir."

After they left, Gordon walked to the edge of the platform, turned on his headphones, and began his last speech in his life: "My children! You have been deceived!" He shouted, "I have been deceived too! The_Bruce is a false god, this is a false game, a false game!" He shouted and emphasized, "The_Bruce has gone crazy, but don't worry, I have the situation under control!" He opened his arms, "Follow me, people of the Bat! Support me! I have taken over the Bat Castle! Defeat The_Bruce!" He raised his arms and waved, "Now... let me give you the blood of the false god... ah!"

His words stopped here, because The_Bruce had grabbed his waist from behind and lifted him up horizontally.

At this moment, Gordon understood... there was no "plan" at all, there was only a trap, a trap that he failed to see through.

"Gordon is hypocritical, a failed servant, a liar." the_bruce is worthy of being a great hero. His plan is not to be underestimated. "You see... he is crazy. He has coveted my position for many years and cheated me in the ceremony. And now, he is talking nonsense... saying that he replaced me."

"No! No! It's him... it's him who asked me..." Gordon tried to explain, but Bruce's arm secretly increased its strength and crushed a part of Gordon's spine, causing him to scream in pain.

"Look at this complete lunatic, there are only lies and roars in his mouth." the_bruce continued, "I... your bat god, now I will hand him over to you... for judgment."

Before he finished speaking, he threw the second person in Gotham who had served him for many years... off the platform. (To be continued...)
