Soon, the three started to act. It turned out that the Joker was able to gain an advantage in the early stage, just because he caught them off guard. Even Bruce didn’t expect that his old enemy would find it here, so at the beginning, they It was a little embarrassing to be chased by the agents.
But this situation only lasted for a very short period of time. Even if the Joker had a monitoring device like a cheating device, it was still difficult for Bruce, Lex and Clark to join forces.
Bruce is both offensive and defensive, Lex is invincible, and Clark is invulnerable. Although they are all youth versions that have not fully grown up, with the cooperation of these three people, even if ordinary people have powerful weapons in their hands, it is difficult to deal with them.
Soon, most of the agents chasing after them were stunned by their use of monitoring and communication delays.
However, getting rid of the agents’ tracking is not their primary goal. Now they have a common goal, which is to investigate the underground of the manor.
Bruce was trying to deal with the Joker, Clark was trying to find the source of radiation that would affect him and possibly the Metropolis, Lex was trying to find the treasure and what Schiller left from the ground, although the details of the three were different. , but the big goal remains the same, that is, to go underground first.
But if you want to go underground, you must first find the entrance. The entrance must be on the ground floor, that is, the first floor.
The structure of the first floor of the entire manor is different from the other floors. There is a banquet hall in the middle, and two gates that can be shuttled to the central courtyard on both sides, but there are also other buildings on both sides. Among these buildings There are also other rooms that few people have explored.
The main building of the mayor’s mansion is very large, and it is not a manor of a private residence. If you want to fully explore this place, if the three of them stay together, it will probably take a whole day. Therefore, for the sake of efficiency, the three of them decided to split up. action.
This is also justified. Most of the agents were eliminated by them on other floors. The remaining ordinary agents on the first floor were all performing their own duties. They did not receive special orders to deal with anyone, but only in Their respective posts are patrolling.
Both Bruce and Lex have official identities. Once they get hit, they can get over there, not to mention Clark. His speed is very fast, and the agents may not be able to see him, so even if they split up, they will not be able to see him. would be too dangerous.
The only problem was that Bruce and Lex couldn’t fully trust each other, and when making this decision, Bruce first said, “You have to promise me that if you find the entrance first, you have to notify us and not go down alone. .”
“Even if I promise, will you believe it? I don’t believe you either.”
Lex also stared into his face and said that when the two extreme skeptics met, they didn’t trust each other’s words or deeds.
“Please! Is this the time to talk about this?”
“Under the largest building in the metropolis, there may be a huge radiation source! Once it is completely leaked, the entire city will be in danger!” Clark said helplessly.
What else did the two have to say, Clark stretched out his hand to stop them, and then said: “Don’t forget, that lunatic is still watching us now, and if we are arguing here, he will be very happy!”
Clark’s original intention was just to tell the two of them not to be laughed at by others, and not to hurt relatives and enemies, but I have to say that he has an innate talent in interacting with people. His remarks It just hit Bruce’s heart.
After knowing that the man might be the clown, Bruce raised his vigilance. He is now a little allergic to the words “madman” and “laughing” when they came out of Clark’s mouth. , Bruce seemed to hear the crazy laughter ringing in his ears.
He could almost imagine how happy the clown would be after watching a few people quarrel in the monitoring room. As long as he thought of this, Bruce felt a little cramp in the corners of his mouth, and he immediately said:
“We can work together for a while and get started right away.”
After speaking, he turned around and left, as if he didn’t want to delay any more for a second, Lex snorted coldly, looked at the back of him leaving, and said to Clark in a low voice: “There is amazing darkness behind him, even if he No matter how righteous he is, don’t forget, he’s from Gotham…”
“Gotham is full of lunatics.”
After the words fell, he also left, leaving only Clark in place. Clark scratched his head and shrugged his shoulders, as if he didn’t quite understand the hint in Lex’s tone.
In fact, he was very uncomfortable with this kind of communication between smart people, and he didn’t want to think about the ins and outs of those words. In the process of communicating with Bruce and Lex, Clark always felt a little stupid.
After being separated from the two of them, Clark relaxed a little bit. He chose a direction that was different from the two of them and walked over, along the banquet hall, all the way to the corridor on the east side.
Clark thought that the door to the underground should not be in the corridor, but must be hidden in a certain room, so he planned to use the exhaustive method to check it one by one.
He pushed open the door of the first room, which was a very ordinary utility room, because no one had opened the door for a long time. When the door was opened, a cloud of dust rushed over. Clark waved his hand and walked in. After checking, nothing was found.
The next few rooms were the same, and Clark couldn’t help but feel a little lost. Moreover, the dark corridor became more and more silent as he walked in. The only thing that came out was the cold light from the window at the end.
In an extremely quiet atmosphere, people will involuntarily slow down the speed of thinking and strengthen their senses at the same time. Just when Clark also changed in the same way, suddenly, a harsh phone rang from a room in front.
Clark frowned and walked over. After pushing open the door, it was an empty guest room. At this time, the phone on the phone was ringing non-stop. Clark picked up the phone and said to the other end, “Hey… “
“Hello.”
After speaking to the other side, after a while of silence, Clark asked with some doubts: “Hello, who are you? What are you calling for?”
“Are you Clark?”
“Uh, I am, what’s wrong?”
“Do you know Lex?”
“Who are you?” Clark asked cautiously.
“I’m a resident living on the 5th floor, and I’m also a participant who was invited to this banquet. Listen, Clark…” The tone on the other side was a little low.
“But at the same time, I’m also a CIA agent on a stealth mission. I’m in some trouble, and I hope you can help me.”
Upon hearing the agent, Clark’s brows furrowed. As soon as he refused, he said, “I know, you may have had friction with some other agents, but we are not a group.”
“I came to the Metropolis a long time ago and lurked, the purpose is to investigate the abnormality of the Luthor Group. We suspect that the serial murder case that happened in the Metropolis some time ago may be related to the people of the Luthor Group.”
“Before. Our investigation has not progressed. Since Leonel Luthor is the host of this banquet, I came here to pursue more clues.”
“After a night’s investigation, we have obtained clues about the murderer, who is most likely the son of Leonel Luthor, Lex Luthor.”
“Usually, he appeared as an autistic patient to reduce the vigilance of others towards him. In fact, he did not suffer from autism. On the contrary, he was a criminal with high IQ and an evil genius.”
Clark was about to open his mouth to retort, but the person on the other side continued to speak quickly: “I know you don’t believe it, but we have the evidence. If you go to the bathroom of the reception room now, you can see Leonel. Luther’s body.”
“He was killed by his son, and Lex also dismembered his father with his own hands.”
“Now, I hope you can go to that bathroom and take some of the tissue fragments from O’Neill and keep it as evidence to use against Lex’s homicide in the future.”
“How is that possible?” Clark said in a tone of utter disbelief. “Why did he kill his father? And dismember him? He’s not that kind of person.”
Clark really didn’t believe it. In his brief contact with Lex, he felt that although this person was very conceited, he was worthy of his name. Because Clark grew up in a small town, he didn’t know much about serial murder cases. The serial murderers of the eucalyptus are the kind of perverts with a face full of flesh and green faces and fangs.
But Lex’s body is thinner and his face is more childish. He looks like a child, and his words and actions are basically in line with the logic of normal people. He doesn’t show any evil or madness. Clark doesn’t think he will be. Serial killer.
Not to mention, the person on the phone actually said that Lex killed his biological father and dismembered him. How could such a cruel thing be done by a high school student?
“Clarke, you have to know that the reason why many murderers are not easy to arrest is because they have very confusing disguises, and I do this.”
“I said, if you don’t believe me, you can go to the scene to see it. If things are really different from what I said, you don’t have to help me, and I can’t force you.”
The man’s tone was sincere, he said, “I heard you in the room when you were fighting with the agents, you are a hero who is willing to speak up for ordinary people, so I only used a limited time to contact you.”
“I have checked your information, I know, you are just a college student~www.mtlnovel.com~ You have no obligation or responsibility to carry out such dangerous work, but Clark…I beg you, help me. “
“Of course, if you really think this is too dangerous, then you don’t have to go. I won’t force a child to go to the battlefield…”
“As far as I know, Lex is not alone. He must have accomplices. They will probably find me soon. I’m running out of time… Bye, Clark.”
After hanging up, Clark had a troubled look on his face.
He had known Lex for a short time, and he knew it himself, so he couldn’t be sure whether Lex’s acting was so good that he deceived him.
The tone of the man on the other side was normal, and what he said made sense. Clark couldn’t help but hesitate a little. He was thinking, if Lex is really a liar, if he is allowed to operate in the manor like this, will there be more Ordinary people at risk?
He hesitated for a while, and finally decided to go upstairs. Clark felt that it was okay to take a look at what the man said. Even if there was a trap waiting for him, he should be able to get out of it.
Thinking of this, he went up the stairs and walked through the corridor to the reception room. The reception room was still in a mess. The cold wind blew into the room from the broken windows. With the cold wind howling, Clark walked to the door of the bathroom. Turning the doorknob, the door opened.
The first thing that was caught by his keen senses was the rich and disgusting **** smell, and then, a corpse with its arm chopped off came into view, and there was a saw thrown on the ground next to it.
Just when Clark covered his mouth and wanted to retching, he heard footsteps coming from the door of the reception room.
He turned around and saw Lex walking in…and the blood on his trousers.
