Chapter 1629

~11 min read 2,046 words

On the proposition of the destruction of Cat Getan City, there is a very wonderful phenomenon, which is the anti-dark forest law, expressed as: when one of Batman and the Joker holds a nuclear bomb button, the possibility of Cat Getan's destruction is reduced to the lowest, and when they both hold a nuclear bomb button and know that the other party has a nuclear bomb button, Cat Getan will definitely not be destroyed.

It sounds a bit counter-intuitive. According to common sense, this thing called a nuclear bomb button is very dangerous no matter who holds it, because human hearts are unpredictable, not to mention that the mental states of the Joker and Batman are really not stable.

But if analyzed carefully from their logic, one can see that there is some truth in it.

First of all, according to the Batman-Joker aggregation law, all the Joker's actions revolve around Batman, so the Joker getting a nuclear bomb button must also be to threaten Batman, and the moment a nuclear bomb has the most threat is the moment it doesn't explode.

The Joker won't press the nuclear bomb button because he just wants to make Batman laugh, not die. The purpose of all the Joker's actions points to Batman, not Cat Getan. If something just simply destroys Cat Getan but can't make the Joker see Batman's struggle and contradiction, then the Joker won't use it.

Similarly, if Batman holds a nuclear bomb button, he won't press it either, because if he presses it and Cat Getan is destroyed, but the Joker isn't, then there will be another city becoming Cat Getan, so destroying Cat Getan has no meaning, and pressing the button is unnecessary.

And when they both hold a nuclear bomb button, they must know that the other party won't press it, and they also know that the other party knows they won't press it, so this kind of probing is meaningless to them.

Of course, the Joker has made many terrible bombing cases in Cat Getan City. Some cases have an explosion scale comparable to a nuclear warhead explosion, but that is not an uncontrollable explosion caused by a crazy lunatic, regardless of the equivalent of the explosive, the scale of the explosion, and the influence after the explosion, all are completely under the Joker's control.

In the final analysis, the Joker is not a lunatic with a brain full of paste who has lost his mind, but a clear-headed, healthy anti-social personality who is not affected by hallucinations and has no nerve reflex problems, so in almost all aspects, he is very rigorous and logical.

Every part of his plan is under his control, even terrible big explosions are the same. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't let the explosion happen in Cat Getan City.

In short, he and Batman are the same kind of people, one body and two sides, twins like looking in a mirror. Their high intelligence, self-consistent logic, and near-crazy desire for control are exactly the same.

But the nuclear bomb button in their hands is completely different from being in the hands of a group of teenagers.

Batman and the Joker can even dance in front of each other with a nuclear bomb button, throw the nuclear bomb button high and low, and use all kinds of terrible threats and hellish jokes to play a game, because they have tragically seen through the truth of this dark city and know that blowing up Cat Getan is useless.

But the Robins might not.

If a survey is conducted on European and American residents and foreigners who have lived in European and American cities, option one is to be involved in the battle between Batman and the Joker, and option two is to be involved in the battle of a group of teenagers. They must choose one, then the vast majority of people will definitely smash the button for option one.

Anyone who has lived in Europe and America understands the horror of teenagers. Even if Batman and the Joker destroy the world in a few hours, the crazy teenagers will definitely destroy your fence, dog house, and outer wall in a few minutes, use a crowbar to blow up the fire hydrant to flood the plants in the yard, puncture the tires of the garbage truck, and push down the full garbage bin to make the whole street stink for half a month...

It's very difficult for normal people to reason with this group of crazy teenagers who are in the rebellious period of growth. They have no logic, but they are very extreme, and according to European and American laws, no matter what outrageous things they do, they won't get serious punishment, so they have extra courage to destroy, and can't even be called annoying, but notorious.

The so-called how big the feet are, how big the lawn is stepped on, how big the ability is, how big the bowl is smashed. Crazy teenagers holding baseball bats, spray cans, and lighters can at most disgust two streets, but if they are carrying a Tsar Bomba on their left shoulder, holding a Katyusha in their right hand, stepping on a missile launcher, and carrying two pounds of vodka in their pockets, the Joker will tremble the same way.

The most terrifying point is that Batman's action trajectory can be predicted, and his behavior has logic, but teenagers don't.

As analyzed before, the Joker is not a completely chaotic lunatic, he is just a simple anti-social personality. He has high intelligence, so there are not many things in this world that can exceed his expectations, but his reason also tells him that the current situation of the Bat-family Robins is one of them—they don't look at the Art of War, they look at recipes, and they are still Soviet military factory recipes.

No one dares to fully ensure that a nuclear bomb button in the hands of a teenager won't be pressed. The Joker feels that Batman might not be able to ensure it, so he would rather come to the police station to sing "June Snow" than see the blue-sky official Batman.

When Batman came, the Joker held the bars of the interrogation room tightly with his handcuffed hands and looked at him affectionately. They had never talked in such a calm atmosphere before.

The Joker obviously wasn't used to it either. He tried hard to swallow his saliva and said to Batman somewhat stutteringly: "Listen, Batman, there's no time for jokes. Your group of little birds, they must have burned their brains, they must have. They got a big thing, a super—big one."

The Joker tried his best to open his hands to gesture, and then found that he was handcuffed and had no way to show how big the thing he saw was, so he could only try his best to describe it with words.

"Black and white, with silver tail fins, it looks like a huge hydrogen bomb. Judging from the painting and numbering on it, it might be from the Soviet Union. It is highly likely to be a test version before the development of the Tsar Bomba. The equivalent is second only to the big Ivan that was tested—what's more terrifying is that this might not be the original Soviet version, they might have modified it!!!"

When the Joker said the last part, he was almost screaming. He seemed to have suddenly had an episode. His handcuffed hands were tightly clenched into fists, hitting the table hard, and he said in an extremely high and sharp voice.

"Batman! Your group of little birds not only bought big bombs from the Soviet Union, but they actually modified them themselves! I really want to knock open their skulls one by one to see what's inside! They modified it! Using drills and screwdrivers!!!!"

Suddenly, the Joker grabbed the bars again, stared at Batman, bared his teeth, revealed his gums, and then said: "They intend to rebuild the order of gangs in Cat Getan, let that group of gangs with no artistic aesthetic, no philosophical inspiration, and full of copper smell occupy our home, Batman, how can you be indifferent?!"

Batman stood outside the interrogation room bars like the Joker described, watching the Joker go crazy, cold and serious. Waiting for the Joker to finish speaking, Batman opened his mouth.

"Joker, I know you want to alienate the relationship between me and the Robins. It's not the first time you've done this, but after you found that even if you injected Spider-Man with the dark source potion, he didn't become worse, you set your sights on other members of the Bat-family."

"But I have to say, the lie you fabricated this time is very poor." Batman shook his head, and then began to analyze.

"Before, I noticed that the gangs in Cat Getan that had long been scattered had movements of gathering again. At the same time, my Robins started not coming home at night, as if everyone was very busy."

"According to normal logic, I would highly likely connect these two things, but in fact, this is all your conspiracy to alienate me from the Bat-family."

"Your Joker gang members haven't made trouble for a long time. It's them who are provoking gangs behind the scenes, creating a scene of gangs intending to revive, and then using various conspiracies to make the Robins have no time to rest, alienating the relationship with me, and reducing the communication of the Bat-family."

"Because of some reasons, I didn't investigate the clues of gang chaos in time, but if I'm not wrong, if I follow this line, I will definitely find the figures of the Robins, because this is what you deliberately arranged, the purpose is to make me feel that the members of the Bat-family have betrayed me and become my enemies."

"But Joker, you are too impatient." Batman narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "You saw that I had a new Robin, so you couldn't wait to attack him with the idea of this plan."

"You first created the dark source potion and injected it into Spider-Man's body, wanting to see him go crazy and become my enemy, so that I would feel isolated and helpless."

"But seeing that the potion had no effect, you started to attack from Spider-Man's psychological level, wanting to make him feel that I am his enemy by showing him some dark side of Cat Getan, so as to alienate the relationship between the two of us."

"Originally, I failed to connect the sudden rise of gang chaos and the Robins not coming home for a long time, but the conspiracy you showed me against Spider-Man reminded me that the target you attacked is not just the new Robin."

"You used Spider-Man as a target on the surface to attract my attention, making me worry too much about Spider-Man falling into darkness and distracting my energy. In fact, your real target is other members of the Bat-family. You had already laid traps for other Robins before Spider-Man appeared in my field of vision."

Batman stepped forward, looked into the Joker's eyes and said: "But you can't fool me, Joker."

"You appearing in the police station is nothing more than wanting me to feel that even a dangerous criminal like the Joker has to surrender and seek help because of the crazy actions of the Robins, and the members of the Bat-family must have become evil to the extreme."

"You make such a panicked gesture of asking for help, just to show that you are standing with me now, and the Robins are our common enemy."

"But you are wrong, Joker." Batman flicked his cape gently and turned around. In the empty and dark police station corridor, only his deep and serious voice remained as always.

"Even if you have long started to weave conspiracies, lay traps, and guide step by step, I will never think that my children are my enemies. The darkness of this city is cast by you. Batman will not misidentify, let alone be an enemy of Robin."

"Give up your conspiracy to alienate the Bat-family, Joker, you won't succeed."

The Joker, who watched Batman leave, was dumbfounded.
