Chapter 25 Prisoner No. 21
Ziliang took a deep breath, which seemed extremely comfortable. The unhealthy blush on his face became more and more obvious, giving the penguin a very uncomfortable feeling... because he didn't know what Ziliang was excited about.
"So, now Gotham doesn't seem to have any traces of post-disaster reconstruction...that is,..."
"Yes, that is to say, Batman killed the Joker." The Penguin said: "He didn't wear a mask, but in broad daylight, in the image of Bruce Wayne, took out a gun and hit the Joker's heart... The Joker didn't fight back, and he didn't even hide, and just fell down straight. That day, it was the only time I was so close to him but didn't hear his laughter."
"Of course he can't laugh." Ziliang said, making his tone look calmer: "Batman killed people. This is not a funny thing, but the most boring, disgusting, and unacceptable thing that he is the most, because Batman may be the only fun he can find in this world... And that day, Batman ruined himself with his own hands."
The penguin frowned, and he looked at Ziliang, as if he felt that the guy was a little weird: "What did you say seems to know Joker very well? You haven't even seen him."
"I have never met him before, but I always meet him..." Ziliang said.
"Are you crazy? Joker is dead... Batman killed him that day and tore his body apart before he took out the bomb dismantling device." The Penguin said.
"Yes, yes, I know he's dead, but that doesn't prevent me from finding him..." Ziliang shrugged impatiently: "Forget it, you won't understand anyway, so let's continue talking, Batman killed Joker, and stopped a big explosion that destroyed Gotham, and what about?"
The Penguin did not try to understand Ziliang's crazy words anymore. He didn't want to speculate on what a person with a brain had problems said.
"And...and then Batman died..."
"What!?" Ziliang was suddenly shocked and shouted incredible.
"It's nothing to be surprised. He was indeed dead, and... was shot and killed by Sheriff Jim Gordon." The Penguin said with his hands spread out, "because hesitated after he took the detonator out of the clown's body."
"hesitate?"
"Yes, he hesitated, he was hesitating whether the city is worth saving, or how to be considered a rescue... After his death, the Joker still left Batman a game because there were two buttons on that device, one was to remove the bomb... and the other was to detonate."
"Continue!" Ziliang shouted. He quickly flipped through the notebook, his eyes completely opened, and his reading speed had reached an amazing level. In fact, if you are careful, you can find that according to Ziliang's reading method, the small notebook should have been flipped long ago, but it was flirting with such a crazy way, just like those pages will never have an end.
"You also know that Batman is no longer Batman, or that his beliefs have begun to collapse. A city that is not worth saving. So what is its meaning? Only ghosts know. Anyway, the Joker has a chance to completely purify this city of sin in front of him. Just move his fingers gently...
No one knows whether he will press it.
No one dared to take risks. So, all the policemen present pointed their guns at him and shouted loudly, just like they were treating the criminals he had attacked.
......
At that moment, Batman laughed. He probably felt that his persistence for so many years was a joke, so he stood in front of the clown's body and smiled wildly, and raised the detonator.
That's the moment... Sheriff Gordon shot and he killed Batman."
Ziliang finally stopped flipping.
"Then sheriff Gordon rushed over and picked up the detonator and removed the bomb. It was because of this that he was promoted to the director of the Gotham Police Station, right?" Ziliang asked, but he did not wait for the Penguin's answer, because he knew that what he said was correct:
"Bruce Wayne, the richest man in Gotham City, killed people. This matter was too bad, so Director Gordon ordered the matter to be hidden... After that, Gordon took over the police force in the city, arrested all the remaining criminals, and issued a new decree to go through legal procedures to prohibit any trial and parole. He also used a huge sum of money to expand the Arkham Asylum and Black Gate Prison, and this huge sum of money... I guess Bruce Wayne's insurance beneficiary wrote him."
The Penguin nodded in surprise: "You...how did you know."
"It's easy to guess, because Jim Gordon has never been a good person. He doesn't tie the city like Batman. He just wants you criminals to calm down. Whether it's legal or not, he doesn't care. To be honest, it's already very kind to not kill you all after he took over the director."
After hearing these words, the Penguin nodded: "Okay, it seems you already know what happened a few years ago, so now, you should be satisfied."
"Satisfied?" Ziliang suddenly asked, "Of course I was not satisfied, and there were still many things I didn't figure out. So, you have to do me a little more favor."
"Bastard! You are not trustworthy!" The Penguin's expression suddenly became cold.
Ziliang returned to his lazy expression again: "Ah, don't be so nervous. What I said is that as long as you tell me the story of 8 years ago, I will take you out of Arkham... But before I go out, I have to achieve my goal."
"Then you can't go out at all! I tell you this just wants you to calm me down!" The Penguin became more and more angry. If it weren't for his short arms and legs, he would probably have gone up to beat Ziliang now: "And...what is your purpose?"
"I'm looking for Prisoner No. 21...I need to rescue him."
"Didn't you understand the fuck? There is no Prisoner No. 21 here. You will never find this person in your life. You are just a paranoid!" The penguin roared, and then patted his forehead hard: "Oh my God, I was actually talking about a deal with such a madman just now..."
However......
"I'm lazy to think about it. And... just after listening to your story, I've probably guessed who Prisoner No. 21 is..." Ziliang said lazyly: "Batman killed Harry Quinn for some reason, and then told Sheriff Gordon about all this before he completely fell into a madman. He took advantage of this time to kill the most terrifying existence in the city - Joker, and directed the illusion of being killed, and then locked himself up. If you think about it according to this idea, then [Death Prisoner No. 21] should be Batman himself..."
Speaking of this, Ziliang suddenly paused.
"Yes, if you follow the routines in those movies or novels, things should be like this... The hero becomes a demon, but before he becomes a demon, he sublimates himself into a higher-level hero. What a good plot... But, the fact seems to be a joke with me."
As he said that, Ziliang turned the notes in reverse.
The Penguin was shocked to see these lines of words slowly appearing on the page...
