"Although I didn't intend to kill you at first, but... you are too boring, and I will switch personalities three times before breakfast."
Said the Joker.
"You think I don't know? Oh, Bane, you were the first to do it. I am deeply hurt by your lack of trust."
The clown wiped away his nonexistent tears, spread his hands and said:
"Wow, you just entrusted me with a nuclear weapon. You just casually gave me such a beautiful big firework. Do you think I would believe this fairy tale?"
"The nuclear bomb you gave me was a fake. It was just an empty firecracker. Hmm~ you cunning wolf, the real thing must be lying quietly in some corner now.
You never intended to destroy Metropolis, did you? "
The clown seemed a little mad and grabbed his hair. The green hair was stretched straight under his strong fingertips:
"It's so blasphemous. They took out such a big firecracker and showed it to others, but refused to light it. This is fraud, fraud!
Right, right, right. You just want to be a local tyrant in a city, not to become the public enemy of mankind. Letting a mushroom cloud rise in Metropolis will only make the national government kill you at all costs, just like me back then. How can you be the king of Gotham peacefully?"
"vomit!"
The Joker retched.
"I feel like throwing up."
He said.
He held his chin in his hand: "So at first I thought, well, you know."
He opened his palms and waved them wildly in the air with great interest, as if he was conducting a non-existent band.
"It's kind of fun to get you to the brink of victory, and then have it all thrown in your face."
"I wanted you to carefully defeat Batman and take over the city, and then I would steal it all from you right under your nose."
"I've prepared a death trap for you. Look, you'll burst into laughter when fighting Batman - this will definitely add a lot of humor to your life!"
"Sure, it could kill you, but there's also a chance that you'll just squeak through the worst of it and survive, and then you'll think you've won, that you've defeated Batman—"
Chen Tao's heart tightened, he already knew what the clown could do.
Bain said: "Could it be... ah hahahahahaha... could it be you?"
In his current situation, it was difficult for him to even speak.
"Well, it's really difficult to monitor your conversation with the mysterious man. It's really strange. I still don't know who he is and I can't guess it. I think Mr. Nygma might like this puzzle very much, but it doesn't matter to me."
The Joker said, "No matter who gave you the nuclear bomb, now that you have the big firecracker you have to use it, right?"
"You hid this beauty well and refused to let others see her beauty. Shouldn't I pull her out?"
"You... you have secretly mastered my nuclear bomb... the nuclear bomb that I hid so well, the real nuclear bomb?"
The Joker laughed wildly, "Bingo! That's right, I will blow up the Metropolis right away when you are most proud and happiest, when your life is at its peak.
Then everyone will know that it was you who did it, and you will immediately go from being a gangster star who is about to take over the city to a fugitive who lives in fear all day long! Are you happy?"
The clown raised his hands, as if embracing the Peak Plan, and then quickly pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration:
"Well, that was the plan, you know what, Bane
I've been investigating you ever since you freed me from Arkham Asylum. For the past few months, I've been trying to recreate your little water dungeon in Peña Duro Prison in Gotham Playground, interviewing a number of eyewitnesses in an attempt to make it a memorial to your failure—"
The Joker grabbed Bane's chin.
"Just to let you see your foreseeable dream of becoming the king of Gotham shattered before your eyes!"
"I even planned to have bats participate in the government's first phase of the siege on you, and then blow you up into the sky while you were fighting fiercely, so that everyone can see what I did to you."
The Joker held up his corsage, showing it to Bane. "See this little fountain? It's filled with specially made corrosive acid, with a plant-destroying solution added, and Lazarus water that's going to make your rotting half body ache."
"If I aim at you, it can eat through your temple and skin, and then go all the way down while you scream, eating your brain from both sides to the middle, outlining a perfect smile on your extraordinary brain and strong muscles."
He leaned in front of Bane and whispered:
"You can feel it shutting down, Bane. Piece by piece, your mental and physical strength decreases over time, and you will feel the loss completely. You will be aware and in pain until the end."
"You will become my new masterpiece, dedicated only to the bats!"
"That was my whole plan, my beautiful, perfect plan—"
"Batman, the nuclear bomb interception system is ready." Poison Ivy's voice rang quietly in Chen Tao's headphones: "If nothing goes wrong, the nuclear weapon will climb upwards, leave the atmosphere, and then fall."
"And Poison Ivy's plants can help us detect the trajectory of missiles. You know, those plants with pollen spores that spread in the air..."
Lucius' voice came from the side of the communication channel, and he said very quickly:
"I'm sorry, I'm not a plant expert and I really don't understand the principle, but in terms of effect, it's like a human-sensing radar, or a human-shaped plant-sensing radar? In short, it's more accurate and has a wider coverage than all our sensors."
"With Poison Ivy helping us locate the target, we can confirm the launch trajectory of all nuclear bombs in a very short time. However, please note that we cannot rule out the possibility that dozens of missiles are launched at the same time to act as a cover to ensure that the real missile is not intercepted by our interceptor missiles."
He said: "If it really comes to that, Batman, you must intercept it yourself... Your nano body can fly very fast, is extremely tough, and is extremely agile. As long as you equip your head and chest with protection, you can surpass the performance of most aircraft and break the constraints of the atmosphere in a short time-"
Lucius said: "As long as the nuclear bomb does not fall from the atmosphere, it will not have the risk of exploding. As long as you can slow down its speed before it falls, or simply detonate it in outer space, then the crisis will disappear immediately."
At the same time as Lucius' words, the clown's voice rang out: "Look, what a perfect plan. But such a perfect and beautiful plan can't be done now because of an accident. I'm so sad."
The Joker said, "No more complicated and interesting plans, no more trouble."
"I'm going to just launch a nuclear bomb."
