Chapter 33 Shhhhh
Night, Gotham, a certain party that belongs to the Gotham celebrity class can only participate, and today's Gotham is no longer as simple as before, and there are many talents at night, or this frequency is not as frequent as before. With the performance of the Gotham Gangsters in the two major events, as well as the hot sales of the Batman comic of the same name in Gotham, the city of Gotham is revisited through the form of comics from an outsider's perspective.
With the popularity of the comics in Gotham, the citizens who were once obscured by the corrupt upper echelons of Gotham have gradually understood some truths that they should have known. The opening of the people's wisdom, coupled with the fact that in the two major events, these brain-filled upper echelons were wiped out in a wave, so that the city of Gotham had a big stand after the big break, which is really fucking weird.
As for some of the old elite class of Gotham who still survived, as well as the upstart class who came up in these two major events, they are not as arrogant as before. There's no way, who can guarantee that when the next big event happens, whether he will die at the hands of his own people or be killed by aliens or foreign invaders, the people are simple and simple Gotham City, you are the head of this fake? A righteous backstab, and then dump the pot on those villains who were killed by superheroes, and both sides are dead without proof, and I say what I say.
And then by virtue of the righteousness and the general trend, he will go to the position smoothly, and if he is fragrant and good-looking, he will also say to the former boss that his wife is raised by me, and it is ugly to eat, so let the former boss's family be neat and tidy, and you have nothing to say. Therefore, in today's Gotham, the exchange meetings of the celebrity class are no longer just simply touting each other as before, but are looking for partners to strive for new benefits in this ever-changing Gotham City.
And no matter what kind of changes Gotham makes, the Wayne family, who has been the first family since the birth of Gotham, will always be the scene of these banquets. Although there is only Bruce Wayne left in this family as the apparent heir, this bright-looking playboy has already confirmed to these classes with his wrist that as long as our Wayne family does not fall for a day, you can only be my little brother.
Just like now, Bruce Wayne, who has not officially announced that he has three confidantes, appeared at the banquet, and the playboy and billionaire in his prime became the focus of all the women in the audience. Tall and sturdy figure, the aura formed by being in a high position for a long time, although the face is mediocre, but the first two items are enough to erase the last shortcoming, and Bruce, who became the focus of everyone's attention as soon as he appeared, is also used to this kind of gaze.
Ignoring the autumn waves sent by others, he walked straight to the bar and ordered a glass of juice from the bartender.
"Hey, Bruce, long time no see, you don't have a few drinks now?"
The familiar tone and voice made Bruce look at the man walking towards him with a smile on his face. is the same upright, healthy body, blonde hair, polite temperament with the beauty hugging left and right at this time, but also has a bit of grace. And this man who walked towards him, Bruce also knows, his name is Thomas Elliott, and like Bruce, he is also the heir of the four major families that established Gotham City, the Elliott family.
If the Wayne family is in charge of all the construction industries in Gotham City, then the Elliott family is in charge of all the medical systems in Gotham City, whether it is public or private hospitals, there is a shadow of this family. Moreover, for Bruce, Thomas Elliott, who is the heir to a wealthy family like himself, is also his best friend, they have known each other since childhood, of course, only Bruce's best friend who returned to the identity of Bruce Wayne, and he has never told his childhood friend the secret of Batman.
The reason why Thomas Elliott is his best friend is because they both have similar experiences, they have both lost blind dates, and both have attended each other's funerals. And the only reason Bruce regarded him as a friend was that he was better than himself, at least, he did not fall into the darkness like himself because of these accidents, but kept the sun on, and worked hard to become the world's leading surgeon, and, like his father, often went out to the slums, did free clinics, and more importantly, cleaned himself, only interacted with the ladies at the banquet, after the banquet, there was no news at all.
"No, I don't like to get drunk, it's easy to make mistakes, I don't want to, um, you know, get into a scandal." Listening to his friend's ridicule, and the fiery gaze of the two ladies in his hands, he was a little empty.
There are already three in the family, one is more fierce than the other, and it is a bit difficult to deal with the three in the family at a time, so how can you still be in the mood to play these outside. If you want to talk about appearance, none of them can compare to those in your own family. If you want to talk about temperament, in your own family, one is the princess of the Amazon, the other is the queen of the League of Assassins, and there is a world-level thief, which one will not blow you up, as for the posture, heh, everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, and you are still waiting here for the update of the chat.
Of course, he can't say these things to his friends, he can only be secretly refreshed in his heart. On the contrary, it was Bruce's friend, Thomas Elliott, who raised his eyebrows after hearing Bruce's words, and let the beauty in his arms leave, and then said to him.
"Are you kidding me, Bruce, are you afraid of getting into a scandal? Just the Victoria's Secret Angel you soaked is almost like Xiao Lizi, are you afraid of scandals? Man, you're making me laugh. Look at the ladies here, they're all staring at you, waiting to have a relationship with you that has been on the news for a month. ”
"Don't make me laugh man, are they feelings, they're hungry for my body."
"See through it, Bruce, it's not like you, what? Have you really found your true destiny? ”
As a close friend since childhood, Thomas immediately sensed that something was wrong and asked in a low voice. Bruce didn't answer, but it was the best answer, and Thomas gave Bruce a big hug and whispered in his ear.
"Congratulations, Bruce, the girls who can make you feel at ease must love each other, don't miss it, people like you and me, sometimes miss, just miss."
"I..." Seeing his friend's sincere wishes, Bruce wanted to share his secret with him, because this was one of his few friends, but at this time, the tiny headphones that had been wearing in his ears also heard Alfred's warning about Arkham Asylum, and he was about to blurt out the words back, and when Thomas Elliott turned around, he walked towards the crowd, and left the banquet with the help of the crowd's cover.
"I think we should celebrate, drink juice, you say, Bruce... Well? Thomas Elliott, who had taken the juice from the bartender and was about to turn around to have a drink with his friend, also noticed that Bruce who was behind him had disappeared without a trace, looked at the juice in his hand, drank it all down, and said to himself, "You have a lot of support, Bruce." ”
With these words, Thomas Elliott kept that kind smile and clinked glasses with the high-class people attending the banquet.
And while the banquet was still being held, Gotham Naho Island, Arkham Asylum, Gotham Police Chief James Gordon looked at the blank eyes in the hallway, the security guards who were drooling, and then at the empty hospital room and the smiling faces painted with blood on the walls, smoking there.
"How's it going, Gordon."
A low voice sounded, and Gordon, who was already no longer surprised, did not chuckle in his heart, turned his head, looked at the dark knight who appeared at the door, and sighed.
"As you can see, the clown has been robbed, and even the powerful have relented in this regard, pouring resources into the world's safest ward. Completely enclosed environment, except that it will be opened when the meal is served, there is no contact, with the 24-hour rotation outside, equipped with live ammunition security personnel, every time after the shift, there will be a naked inspection, but he was still robbed, even these people, have become idiots. ”
Pointing to the security personnel who were sitting on the ground and drooling at this time, Gordon's eyebrows were about to twist together, and all measures had been taken, even if someone attacked him, his side could react as soon as possible. What's more, no one wants to let a madman come out, everything is so good, but why, the clown is still gone.
"There has never been such a thing as the safest, the wards are sturdy, but it's not hard to take the clown. A topographic map, a space technology, or a space capable person can do it all. ”
Looking at the situation around him, Batman immediately came to a conclusion.
"Then what's the matter with them, if they can kidnap him silently, why do they turn these people into idiots."
Pointing to the drooling security guards on the ground, Gordon was curious.
"Tricks, or maybe some of them happen to have some key information, related to clowns, I want their information, everyone."
"I know, I've already asked people to prepare, how to give it when the time comes... You? As soon as he snuffed out the cigarette butt and turned around, Gordon found that the Batman standing behind him was gone, looking at the few cigarettes in his pocket, Gordon thought about it and put it back again, "Alas, can't you just lock him up here honestly, let him out, what good can you get." ”
In desperation, Gordon also asked his men to take away the demented security personnel, and then he prepared to give Batman the information he needed at that time.
In Gotham late at night, there were two accidents at the same time, but one could not be announced, and the other was just a big book. Just after Batman learned that his old rival had been kidnapped by unknown forces again and might be involved, he began his own investigation, and in the middle of the night, he was not the only one who stayed awake all night.
Elliot Private Hospital, Uptown Gotham, as the director and attending physician, looked at a few copies placed in front of the table, and had already arranged the itinerary and needed his surgery instructions for surgery or guidance. With his own unique eye, he was there to review the shortcomings of these reports, and at this moment, the lights in the office suddenly went out, and the sudden change, as well as the oppressive atmosphere in the air, made Elliott scan the surroundings, reached under the table with one hand, and quietly pulled out a pistol.
"Good evening, Dr. Thomas Elliott."
As Elliott scanned the surroundings, a figure appeared behind the screen, talking to Elliott.
"Who are you?"
"Arkham's gang of security guards and clowns, their medical benefits are all provided by your side, no one would have thought that a good doctor who saves the world would obtain the information he wants through ordinary experience and spiritual inquiry, in this regard, I have to praise you, your disguise is really in place." Ignoring Elliott's inquiry, the voice dissected the ins and outs of the Joker's disappearance in Arkham.
"As for how to take away the Joker, many people will speculate in terms of superpowers, technology, and magic, after all, these things exist in this world. But for you, an inspection report, a scalpel, a very simple face-swapping operation, with a little cooperation, is a seamless missing room incident, you are very smart, I know what you want to say, but the inspection report that you haven't had time to destroy is here. ”
With the telling of this mysterious figure, Elliott, who originally planned to continue acting, also put the gun under the table on the table so grandly, still with the safety open, and also held it in his hand. But the other free left hand also raised its index finger to his mouth and said slowly.
"It's seamless, but haven't you been known yet, shhhhh
