Chapter 574: All Sewn Up (Part 1)
When Thomas finished shouting this sentence, Batman and Cobot were stunned together.
Batman didn't realize what he was talking about for a moment, while Cobot didn't know anything about the previous murders and thought the serial murderer Thomas was talking about was actually Lex.
Thomas gasped and said in a hysterical voice: "This is beyond my plan! I didn't do that accident. It shouldn't be like this. I obviously planned it all..."
Seeing Thomas's somewhat broken mood, Batman realized that this might be a good time to ask the truth, so he looked at Thomas and asked: "You said your fiancée is in danger and there is a serial murderer, how come you said that?" What’s going on?”
Thomas's voice was trembling a little, and he seemed extremely reluctant, but he also knew that the only one who could stop this now was Batman, so he said:
"I killed Doris. The javelin I borrowed from the sports equipment room pierced her chest and killed her. But my purpose was not to kill her. I just wanted to borrow this spear to... …”
"... Go and make an alibi for yourself." Batman interrupted him in a calm tone. Batman continued: "You put yourself in jail, and then let your accomplices kill Elio." The special couple will provide you with an alibi, and then find a way to clear your case, so that you can be released from prison innocently and inherit the Elliott family. "
"And the way you want to reverse the case is to let your accomplices continue to commit murders similar to Doris's case outside, turning this into a serial murder. This will prove that you were not the one who killed Doris. ”
Thomas was stunned, but then a look of gritted hatred appeared on his face, but it quickly turned into a complex emotion, and he said: "Batman...Batman...you are such a genius, I should too Yes, I should too..."
"Then what did you say about your fiancée and the serial killer?" Batman asked.
"Yes...yes! Go find Belena quickly! She may be in danger now! Someone is eyeing her..."
Thomas's arms were shaking as he said: "The second victim of the cheerleading group member was indeed my fault, because as long as the serial murder continues, it means that I am innocent in prison... …”
"But, but the third murderer was not me... there was another murderer! His next target is my fiancée Belenna!"
What Thomas said was a bit confusing, and Batman didn't hear any logic. He only heard Thomas admit that he killed the first and second victims, but denied that the third victim was his. Made.
Logically speaking, if he admits that he killed two people face to face, then he will not deny the third victim. At this stage of the matter, it is impossible for Thomas to escape guilt anyway, so there is no need for him It was not him who bit the third victim to death.
"First of all, you have to tell me who your accomplice is? How did you commit the crime?" Batman ignored Thomas' anxious mood at all. He would not be fooled by this, because whether Thomas was performing or not, he had to Find out what all this is about.
Thomas seemed to be ignoring him. He explained in one breath: "Just about two weeks ago, I wanted to see a doctor because of anxiety. It may have been at that time that I left my phone number. Not long after, a psychiatrist who called himself Dr. Hugo called me..."
"He said that he was very experienced in this area and could help me with treatment, but I didn't want my parents to know that I had a mental illness, so I couldn't go to a regular hospital for treatment. He said that he had experience in treatment, so I planned to Go check it out.”
"When I arrived at the appointed location, I found that there was no psychological clinic there. Later I found out that they were hiding in the sewers of Gotham."
"There was a refrigerated warehouse that was dug out, but it was abandoned for some reason, and they were hiding there."
"At that time, I wanted to leave, but the man named Dr. Hugo stopped me. We chatted for a while. I felt that he was indeed an excellent psychiatrist. He might have fallen into despair for some unknown reason, so I expressed my willingness. Fund him, but the condition is that he must cure my anxiety disorder.”
"He and I talked a lot, and I confided a lot of my inner secrets to him. He said that my anxiety and stress come from my parents. As long as there are no sources of stress, my anxiety disorder will naturally get better."
"He instigated you to kill your parents?" Batman narrowed his eyes and asked.
"That's right." Thomas swallowed and said, "He made a series of plans, he said. As long as I follow the plan, it will be fine, but now, this is not part of our plan at all!"
"He said that after I go to jail, he will kill my parents, and then he will commit another crime, choose a girl with the same identity as Doris, and commit a similar crime in the same place. It was made into a serial murder case so that I could be exonerated and get out of jail."
"He said that he would only do one more crime. But then, I heard that there was a third crime, so I tried every means to contact the lawyer and then Dr. Hugo, but he told me that the third case The three incidents were not his fault."
"Just then, my fiancée Belena called me. She cried a lot on the other end of the phone, looking very sad and scared. She said that someone threatened her with emails and notes, saying that they wanted to kill her..."

Cobert, who had been listening on the side, said: "Belenna? I seem to know her. She is a student of the School of Environment. She has not come to the laboratory in the past few days. Originally, the project she was in charge of often borrowed this laboratory, but I haven't seen her for several days."
"That's why I came here to find her!" Thomas yelled: "I know she is doing experiments here. The handbag she threw at my house contains the key here, as well as special gloves and protective clothing. I knew at a glance that it was used for the low-temperature laboratory..."
"So, you can open the door of this laboratory?" Cobert looked at Thomas's hand. He was indeed wearing a glove on his hand, but because this special glove is a very thin glove that fits the hand very well, it is not easy to be discovered.
"She must have disappeared!" Thomas's emotions began to become more and more agitated. He said, "It is even possible that she has been killed. I want to find her!"
As Thomas' emotions became more and more unstable, he tightened his arm around Lex's. Lex was a little breathless, his face was swollen and his lips were even purple.
In any case, Lex's physique was really too poor. Not to mention a tall and strong adult male like Thomas, even a very thin but weapon-wielding Cobblepot could force him to retreat step by step. Being strangled by Thomas, he had no room to resist at all.
No matter how genius his brain was, it was impossible to transform intelligence into force in this situation. His genius brain had even fallen into a shallow coma due to lack of oxygen.
Batman obviously also observed this situation. He took two steps forward and wanted to oppress Thomas, but Thomas did not retreat because he knew that there was a window behind him and he could not retreat. He had to give himself a longer depth space to deal with the possible attack from Batman.
So he retreated to his left rear, which was the side farther away from Cobblepot and Batman.
In that direction, there was a larger laboratory. Batman pressed forward step by step, and Thomas retreated step by step, all the way to that direction, until he leaned his back against the largest instrument in the center of the entire room.
As mentioned before, it was a very large machine, cylindrical in shape, connecting two floors. In addition to the surrounding consoles and fixtures, there was a cylindrical liquid storage device inside, which contained the raw materials that Victor used to make super ice.
Due to some material science reasons, this thing could not be stored in a solid state, but could only be placed in a special cabin in liquid form, and it had to be stirred constantly, and another chemical agent was needed to maintain its stability.
At this time, in the cylindrical liquid storage device that Thomas leaned against, the blue liquid kept surging, like beautiful waves, and like an unpredictable nebula. The cold light shone on his back, but because of the good sealing, there was no chill.
It turns out that necessary stimulation may increase people's vigilance against a dangerous object, just like when a person touches a boiling kettle, they will instinctively retract their hands. Now, because Thomas did not feel anything unusual from the object he was leaning against, he did not realize how dangerous he was approaching.
Batman's attention was all on Lex, or in other words, no matter who Thomas was holding hostage, Batman's first goal was to rescue the hostage.
At this time, because of the great pressure from Batman, Thomas seemed to be a little collapsed. He began to pinch Lex's neck with his hands and said, "You are all the same! You guys... Hey, geniuses? Geniuses? Do you think you are geniuses?!"
"Why are you born superior? Why can't I! Answer me! Is this fair?!"
"Bruce Wayne!" Thomas suddenly raised his voice and said, "Do you think I don't know who you are? Batman! I have been investigating for a long time. From the moment Batman appeared, I started investigating..."
"I see through your tricks! You are not a superhero in the dark night! You damn hypocrite! You just rely on your extraordinary talent and wealth, and now, I want to have all of this..."
However, the scene that Thomas expected, Batman was shocked by his identity being exposed, did not appear, and he didn't even react to this scene.
But this is not surprising. According to the current timeline, in the plot changed by Schiller, almost everyone knows the true identity of Batman. Schiller knows, Gordon knows, Victor knows, Constantine knows, and Hal knows.
When they gather privately, no matter what Bruce wears, whether he wears ordinary sweatshirts and jeans, or the cool bat suit, these people always call him "Bruce".
Although Bruce has emphasized to them many times that they should call him Batman when he wears a bat suit, those people seem to be coaxing him to play. They will go along with him when he is in a good mood, and forget it when they don't remember it when they have something to do.
Therefore, in the circle of Gotham's weirdos, Batman was online under his real name. After a long time, he didn't bother to correct it. He just called Bruce Bruce. Forcibly correcting his name would not only lead to ridicule, but also would not help. Whatever changes there will be, let them be. If the desensitization treatment is successful, it is a yes.
Seeing Batman's unresponsiveness, Thomas became even more hysterical and used more force on his hands. At this time, Batman knew that he had to take action, otherwise Lex's life would be in danger.

But at this moment, there was a figure faster than him. The thin Cobot rushed to Thomas at an extremely fast speed, and then raised the sharp knife in his hand, and Thomas ducked aside.
At this time, two "whoosh" sounds were heard, and two batarangs flew past Thomas's neck.
In order to avoid the front and rear double-teams, Thomas had to find a bunker. The console next to him was a good choice, but if he had to dodge past, it would be impossible to catch Lex. He was too much in the way.
Thomas threw Lex to the side, then rolled over and hid behind the console. But at this moment, the two batarangs thrown by Batman did not stop, but hit him directly. on top of the glass of the liquid storage device.
Batman considered the possibility of causing damage to the things behind Thomas, so he used very light force. The batarang made a very light sound when it hit the glass, and then landed on the ground, seemingly not causing any damage.
However, a tiny crack quietly opened from the contact point. At this moment, both Batman and Cobot quickly retreated. There was only a "bang" sound, and the liquid storage device exploded.
Batman and Cobot, who had hid on the other side of the room, were not affected and only felt the biting cold. However, Thomas, who was hiding behind the console and did not have time to escape, and Lex, who was thrown aside by Thomas, Directly submerged by the splash of blue liquid. Then, Batman saw a series of bubbles suddenly appearing in the dreamy blue waves. Immediately afterwards, a pale and thin hand stretched out from the liquid. At the same time, the eternal nightmare of Gotham, resurrected in madness, arrived again—— “Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! ! "
