scum of the industry

Arkham was silent, and the people behind him howled continuously, but for Adeline, her mind was just blank.

"Why..." She turned around in a murmur, her face was bewildered, "Why isn't the clown here?"

Both Bruce Wayne and Peter Parker were startled, and then said: "No, there must be something we haven't found."

"Impossible..." Adeline shook her head, "Impossible."

Nana was still obediently standing aside, Adeline lowered her head, and turned around after a long time: "You said the clown is in Arkham, are you lying to me?"

Nana slowly looked up: "Arkham Asylum, people with normal mobility: 3 people, identification confirmed, Bruce Wayne, Peter Parker, Adeline Feynman. No clowns."

"You lied to me." Adeline walked up to her, "Is this what you call asking me to help you?"

Nana turned to look at her: "There are still 25 minutes."

Fucking 25 minutes, sure enough she was dead.

Adeline's face was ashen, and she didn't notice that Peter Parker jumped out of the courtyard of Arkham in an instant, leaving only a cry: "Maybe he was in the same building last time!"

His tone was full of urgency, and his speed was faster than ever before. Bruce Wayne looked at her and said solemnly, "Adeline, don't give up."

Don't give up what?Only 25 minutes left, 25 minutes to do nothing!

Adeline looked at him, with a cold expression: "Go find him, I'll be alone."

Be quiet?No, she just didn't want to die in front of them.

After she finished speaking, she turned around and entered the last room, locked the door behind her back, and sat down slowly. She looked at the white wall, and the picture of her own blood smeared here flashed in her mind, and finally buried her head between her knees, The beating speed of the heart slowed down.

She took out the phone, and what she saw was the line on it——what is the clown's secret?

If she answered this question correctly at this time, does it mean that she is still saved?

But the clown also said that there is only one chance to answer the question, and if the answer is wrong, it will explode immediately.

Do you want to fight?

Her knuckles were sharp, she hesitated for a long time in front of the screen of the mobile phone, and finally let it go, she could no longer gamble on any possibility, and her current situation was brought about by the so-called possibility.

Adeline looked up at Nana and asked, "Tell me, if I die and there is no body left, how else can you ask me to help you?"

Nana glanced at her and said after a long time, "20 minutes."

Adeline lowered her head weakly, is she going to die here?

The answer seems to be slowly settling down.

... I don't know why I suddenly want to sing a song to encourage myself.

After thinking this way, Adeline couldn't hold back a laugh, but it was a pity that the laughter was lonely. There was more despair than loneliness, and more loneliness than hope.

But not everyone gave up hope, Peter Parker, who was running all the way, was still running towards the last possibility.

And the instigator of all this was at Peter Parker's destination, on the top floor of the building that used to be the big screen of the clown, watching the surveillance with a smile.

There is only a table in front of him, and on the table is only the controller that Rachel said, and the surrounding area is dark, only he stands so conspicuously in the room, like a dictator on the stage.

"I actually admire Adeline Feynman very much," he said regretfully, spreading his hands. "After all, she is a very courageous person. When we met last time, she was still showing off her power to me, but what happened to her now? Are you that scared?"

No one answered him, so he continued: "Actually, you should also appreciate Adeline Feynman, otherwise you wouldn't have handed over so many experimental products to her, right?"

This time someone finally answered him, and the voice was still Adeline's, but she was not Adeline, but Nana who was by Adeline's side.

"Adeline's was unplanned, you know?" she asked, her voice deadpan.

The clown looked at her: "I didn't know at first, but now I know."

"So you've lost." She said slowly.

The clown's expression remained unchanged: "What are you talking about? The one who will lose is Batman, and the one who will die is Adeline Feynman."

"It's a pity, but Adeline won't die," Nana said, "Adeline is willing to do more things, but you don't, you just want to stay in Gotham City."

The clown looked at her with interest: "What do you mean? This is implying to me that as long as I am willing to be used by you, then you will let Adeline die and let me replace her?"

"You have different ways of doing things, of course there is no such thing as a replacement," Nana said, "I will redefine a route that suits you."

"No need," The Joker smiled, "I'm more interested in watching Batman die."

Nana shook her head and said regretfully, "That's fine."

"Why, you're going to kill me by singing?" The clown looked at her with interest, "Oh, is it finally my turn? To be honest, I still want to feel it—the feeling of turning into plasma in an instant."

Nana smiled at him, her voice was completely Adeline's, and even her appearance slowly changed to hers: "I won't expose myself, I think Peter Parker and Bruce Wayne will come to solve you. "

"What?" The clown blinked.

Nana said, "They're already on top of this building."

And Adeline, who stayed in Arkham, actually sang a song. Beside her singing, there was Nana's cold countdown: "40, 39, 38..."

And Nana next to the clown is much more lifelike, it seems that Adeline is talking to him in person: "Why do I choose Adeline? Because Adeline can help me achieve my ultimate goal."

The clown sneered, "You look very confident."

Nana didn't care about his words, but continued: "Thank you, Mr. Clown, although I couldn't cooperate with you to the end, I still had a good time."

This paragraph is what Adeline often said after the interview.

She continued: "Unfortunately, when you choose Adeline, you are already doomed to fail. The reason is that you probably only want to see the death of Batman, or the death of Gotham City, and the death of Gotham City. I'm different."

The blue light on her body gradually faded, and the whole person was slowly disappearing: "What I really want to see is the demise of human beings."

"Thank you for all the valuable experimental data you have provided in the experimental field of Gotham. Today's Gotham will become tomorrow's Earth."

……

Adeline's singing had stopped, only Nana's countdown could be heard.

"5, 4, 3..."

Adeline closed her eyes.

……

The clown looked at the person who had completely disappeared in front of him, squinted his eyes, and was about to reach out to take down the controller in front of him, but suddenly a force grabbed his hand, and when he took a closer look, he found that the controller Suddenly being pulled over by a person, he looked in that direction, and there was a figure standing in the darkness, and the voice of Crakala came over.

Then, his controller was left with only parts.

"Tch." He sneered, and then his neck hurt, and the next second, someone strangled his neck violently. He looked up, and it turned out to be Batman.

But in this situation, he still didn't forget to smile: "You want to kill me?"

"No," Bruce Wayne strangled his neck hard, as if he had no intention of letting go.

"I'm going to bring you to justice," he was still saying. "I believe the law can protect Gotham City, and agree to punish people like you."

"It's really...pure..." He squeezed out the words from his throat, and then passed out due to lack of oxygen and suffocation in the brain.

Unexpectedly, the place where the real clown is is actually so quiet, and there is no one defending it. I don't know if he is too confident and thinks that he will never be discovered, or because he is not afraid of being discovered.Indeed, being discovered is nothing more than death, and the clown is obviously not the kind of person who is afraid of death.

"Have we caught up..." Peter Parker asked in a low voice, "What time is it now?"

……

“5、4、3、2、1”

The final countdown sounded in her ears. She was ready to be torn apart, but she didn't feel anything. After a long silence, Adeline finally opened her eyes.

Nana stood in front of her, slowly changing from blue to green, not only into green, but also into her appearance: "The alarm is off."

Adeline looked at her dazedly.

"Miss Adeline Feynman," she slowly disappeared into the air, but continued to speak, "remember our agreement."

"There is no proof..." Adeline murmured, "I will regret it."

Nana smiled indifferently: "Adeline, I value promises, and I already have such technology, the moment you volunteered to help us, the contract between us has already been established. "

What is a contract?

It means that there will be Party A and Party B, compensation, and interests.

But this is not important, what is important is that she survived.

Adeline suddenly relaxed and fell to the ground without support. Could it be that Peter Parker really caught up?But anyway, anyway—

She didn't die in this way, and she was very lucky.
