Chapter 74 True to his word
"Three..."
The clown's countdown appeared from the loudspeaker.
Russell and Batman kicked the 'Joker' on the ground almost at the same time, kicking it away more than ten meters like a football.
"Boom!"
The next second, before the countdown had finished, a bloody firework exploded ten meters away.
Batman grabbed his cape and held it in front of him, as if there were flames burning in his deep eyes.
Russell finally realized the clown's madness and impermanence.
The countdown did not reach three seconds, but only two seconds. If it were a little later, the policemen who were closer to the 'Joker' would be in trouble. As for him and Batman, although their suits had good defense, they were not. You will be seriously injured.
However, no matter what, tonight should be over, and Batman and the police have made a new assessment of the Joker's madness.
The sound of noisy police cars rang out. The police cars were like late guests at a dance, flashing red and blue colors and rushing in. However, they were still late and missed this unpleasant but crazy scene. .
And when they arrived, the protagonist of this scene, Batman, had already decided to withdraw.
Nodding to Russell, Batman whispered 'thank you', then got into the Batmobile and drove away, taking away the only source of light on the dock.
But before the police car arrived and Batman had left, Russell quickly flashed through the crowd like a shadow, and disappeared quickly as if he was carrying something.
...
The sea in the dark night is like a beast that can swallow the whole world. A little hazy moonlight falls on the surface. Instead of making the sea look brilliant, it looks like the sharp teeth of a beast, rising and falling with the movement. The waves are so chilling.
Bogtel, who was lifted upside down on the sea, spat out the salty sea water after enduring the unfriendly beating of the waves. He looked at the figure holding him upside down on the sea in horror and blurted out words of begging for mercy.
"Hero, whatever you want, I'll give you whatever you want! Please let me go!"
"Really?" Russell smiled, raised the other person's head a little, and then threw the other person away. On the dock.
"Ahem!" Bogtel coughed hard, spit out the seawater in his mouth, looked at the other party in horror, nodded his head impatiently, and said: "Really, really!".
The pier he was now on was located on the other side of Gotham Harbor, some distance away from the pier where the battle had just occurred. The police were still finishing up at the pier over there, and he could see busy figures under the lights.
Compared with the light illuminated by lights over there, here was the darkness shrouded by night. Under the hazy moonlight, he could not even see clearly the mask on the face of the person standing in front of him. You can't even catch the other person's expression, nor can you estimate the other person's current mood.
He had never longed for the light. Even if there were police officers he hated the most, he still felt more comfortable than facing this masked man.
Looking at Bogtel's eyes rolling around, Russell said calmly: "I only have one question.".
"I will tell you everything I know!" Bogtel nodded hurriedly.
"Why did you kidnap Russell Bloom this morning?"
Bogtel's face froze. He looked at the other person, but in his heart he had an almost certain guess about the face under the other person's mask, so he showed a smile. With an ugly smile even though she was crying, she said: "I didn't want to kidnap him, it was someone else who asked me to go!".
Russell folded his arms and looked at the other person, and said calmly: "Continue!".
"It was the long-haired man who just gave me the task and gave me a sum of money."
Bogtel looked up at Russell and saw that the white mask was as cold as ice under the moonlight. Feeling cold, he swallowed his saliva and continued: "I don't know what that person's name is, and I don't know who he serves. He contacts me every time I make a transaction."
Bogtel said with a sad face: "I'm just a poor person who gets paid to do things!".
"It's really pitiful!" Russell said lightly, and suddenly said: "Have you ever killed anyone with your own hands?".
Bogtel hurriedly shook his head and said: "No! How is that possible! I'm just an errand boy doing errands for people.".
"Oh..." Russell stretched out his voice and said playfully: "But I just saw you kill two people with your own hands. Well... your marksmanship is very good.".
"I was just acting in self-defense!" Bogtel said righteously, like a victim.
"Can you swim?"
Bogtel hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, I have been afraid of swimming since I was a child!".
"Oh..." Russell responded lightly and said, "Then you should learn to swim."
After saying that, Russell opened his palm and shot out several golden threads, entangling the other party. hit and thrown into the sea.
He could no longer get any useful information, and the other party was no longer useful. Moreover, throwing a villain who had killed many people and trafficked people into the cold sea water, he had no psychological burden.
Although the other party looked aggrieved and described himself as an errand boy and a victim, anyone with any brain would not believe what the other party said.
Moreover, since he asked the other party to swim in the sea, he will definitely do it.
He is a man of his word.
However, the swimming he was talking about was not about diving for a certain distance and then finding a place to land, but swimming in the sea for a lifetime... He keenly
noticed that Bogtel, who was thrown into the sea by him, was diving, pretending to be sinking to the bottom. However, as he swam further and further away, Russell raised his eyebrows and secretly praised the water's good properties. He then turned his hand into a gun shape, pointed his fingers at the opponent, and shot out a ball of golden light like a bullet.
The golden light passed through the sea water and landed accurately on the opponent's forehead, passing through like a bullet.
Immediately, blood flowed out from the wound, dyeing a small area of sea water red, but was washed away without a trace in the next wave of waves.
"The water is so cold..." The remaining meaning reminded Bogtel of the people he had thrown into the sea before. His eyes slowly lost their luster, as if he saw several figures waving and smiling at him in the sea.
The next second, his consciousness completely disappeared, and his body disappeared without a trace in the rolling waves.
"Were you hired to catch me?"
Although the guy was full of lies, his words were still somewhat credible.
"Then who is it?"
"Those gangsters in Gotham?"
"Or the crazy clown?"
Russell murmured and left quickly.
