Chapter 3208: The Haze of Faraines (18)

The Pale Knight stands in front of the bank door.

This is not the first time he has stood in front of a bank like this.

It is just that those days are too far away from the current him. He has followed the rules for too long, and those crazy memories have been diluted by time, becoming blurry.

So he only has one feeling now—woke up too fast, saw Batman robbing a bank!

The vast majority of Batmen in the universe look very similar. Don't look at the temperament of the main universe Batman and Bruce being completely different, but if you look closely, their facial features are very similar. If you take front-facing photos at the same angle, it looks like photos of the same person at different periods.

The Batman in the universe where the Pale Knight is also has nothing special, which is to say he looks the same as the classic Batman. In terms of age, he is actually not much older than Bruce, which leads to the Pale Knight's recognition of this face being Batman.

He is indeed no longer a fanatical fan of Batman now, but don't ask, asking means he has loved. He really cannot accept that someone wearing such a face comes to rob a bank.

People who have chased stars might understand. Many people, when mentioning a certain star they liked before, are like a cyber criminal record, but there are really not many people who are willing to sincerely admit that their vision was poor back then, so they chased such a thing.

The Pale Knight's eyes are indescribable.

Bruce is not affected by him at all. He raises his gun again, first pointing at the counter and saying: "Put your hands where I can see them. It is best not to let me see anyone secretly calling the police."

"That one over there!" He turns the gun to the customer by the window and says: "You have an emergency alarm device on your phone, right? Throw that thing out immediately."

"And you! You damn well moved a small step toward the alarm bell, didn't you? Get back immediately, otherwise I will let your head bloom!"

Because his movements are too fast and his eyes are as precise as a falcon, whether it is customers handling business outside or tellers inside, no one has time to press the alarm bell. As long as anyone has a slight movement, Bruce can discover it immediately.

At first, several tellers wanted to use the blind spot of vision to press the alarm button under the table, but they hadn't even had time to act before Bruce turned the muzzle over directly.

Looking at the pitch-black rifle muzzle, no one really dared to act. After all, they are all here to work, why risk their lives?

Bruce carries the gun and leads the Pale Knight inside. The Pale Knight lowers his voice and says: "Don't you find someone to lead the way?"

"Lead what way?"

"Do you know where the vault is?"

Bruce snorts coldly and glances to the left. The Pale Knight looks over there, but doesn't see anything.

"Fire evacuation map." Bruce says: "Take a look and you will know where the vault is."

The Pale Knight takes a look.

Didn't see anything either.

Normal fire evacuation maps only draw the layout of one floor, but the bank counter and the vault cannot be on the same floor. How can he see where the vault is just by the layout of this floor?

Bruce opens the door leading to the stairwell.

"Now I need two hostages." Bruce raises his gun and says: "Please stand out those of you born in January."

"No one moves."

Bruce fires a shot directly at the feet of a man squatting next to a table by the window.

Bang!

Floor tiles splash, and the bank's sales and that customer flee in panic. After half a day, the man paralyzed on the ground raises his hand tremblingly and says: "I, my birthday is January 13th..."

Soon another female teller stands out and says: "I was born on January 2nd..."

"Very good, just the two of you. Now crawl toward me on all fours. Others don't move."

The two didn't dare to resist at all and crawled over at the fastest speed. The Pale Knight whispers: "How do you know that person's birthday is in January?"

"When we came in, he was holding a custom card, which is the kind of constellation card that banks give to big customers. The pattern on it is Capricorn, which is likely a January birthday."

The Pale Knight just wants to say, with this brain and eyes, what are you robbing a bank for?

Wait a minute, did he complain before that Batman has so much money and such high intelligence, what is he being Batman for?

"Sorry, I was wrong." The Pale Knight apologizes to the Batman in his universe in his heart. It is better to be Batman. He is busy and useless, and the key is that he is useless.

At this time, the Pale Knight suddenly realizes that he has governed Cat Getan well, so isn't Batman idle?!

No, absolutely not, the Pale Knight thinks.

The Bruce in front of him looks like he has no pressure and is idle on weekdays, and he is rich, smart, and has no work to do. If he is empty for a long time, he will definitely want to find excitement, and he will inevitably embark on the road of crime.

The Pale Knight starts digging desperately for those criminal means in his memory, cursing while digging. You say, why is the effect of this special medicine so good? What did I use to commit crimes before?

But even if he can't remember, he has to think. He can't let Batman be peaceful for too long. He must engage in some crime and find some work for him.

After searching his intestines and stomach for a long time, the Pale Knight didn't find many useful memories. During the treatment period, he was painful and confused, and many memories were lost. Suddenly letting him think, he really couldn't remember much.

It doesn't matter. Although he is not good enough, Cat Getan has talents coming out one after another. He can choose the virtuous and appoint the capable, and know people and appoint them. It is time to rebuild the Arkham Alliance.

In the blink of an eye, the hands of the two have been tied behind their backs by Bruce. Although their legs are not tied, one can see from the muscle lines of the two that they are not practitioners. Their arms cannot move, and they walk unsteadily, basically having eliminated the threat.

After taking the hostages into the stairwell, Bruce directly closes the door between the passages. Unfortunately, this is a fire door and cannot be locked. Bruce directly takes the people downstairs.

Downstairs is indeed where the vault is located, but the era is modern. The security measures of modern banks are already very perfect. Even this kind of small city-level bank cannot be opened by ordinary means. Even if the hot cut comes, it will take a long time. What does Bruce plan to use to open the door?

"I... I don't know the password." The female teller suddenly speaks: "It's useless for you to tie me up. The main vault door needs remote control to open. Without authorization, no one can open it."

"Oh." Bruce only replies with one syllable.

The Pale Knight looks at the female teller's complexion. There is indeed fear of being frightened, but not much, and even a trace of mockery, seemingly mocking Bruce for being a stupid thief.

Her reaction is actually not strange. Bank practitioners in the United States encounter 14-15 bank robberies on average in their 10 years of employment. In states with relatively poor public security, this number can even soar to dozens, which means someone robs a bank every two or three months.

But among them, those who can really succeed—success here refers to robbing large amounts of wealth over 100,000 US dollars—are really rare, and those who can successfully take these cash and run away are basically left in history. One hand can count them.

The whole world knows that a bank is a place to save money, and bankers are not stupid. If they don't spend money on security, do they leave money for people to rob?

The Pale Knight takes stock of the resources Bruce currently has on hand and feels that the probability of him successfully taking cash out of the bank is zero.

No demolition tools, no blasting tools, not even an ordinary cutting instrument. There is only one gun. If this can rob a bank, bankers would have gone bankrupt long ago.

Really don't know where his confidence comes from.

The Pale Knight sighs in his heart. Actually, if Bruce only takes some money from the counter, this plan is not a failure.

Although bank counters are not allowed to store too much cash now, a few thousand dollars in cash is still there, which is actually enough for them. After all, it is just to solve the problems of food, clothing, housing, transportation, and refueling. The consumption here doesn't look high. As long as you don't pursue quality of life, a few thousand dollars is no problem to support until the end of the game.

But Bruce looks down on this little money, so the Pale Knight can only wait to see how he opens the vault.

They slowly walk to the fork in the road leading to the vault. The passage on the right leads to the vault door where money is stored, and straight ahead is the stairwell on the other side.

As a result, Bruce chooses to go straight.

He didn't turn to the road of the vault door at all, walking forward without looking sideways, not even looking at the vault door.

When arriving at the stairwell on the opposite side, Bruce pushes the woman back, takes the Pale Knight into the stairwell, but leaves the female teller in the corridor.

Bruce takes the male hostage and walks out of the stairwell on this side in a swaggering manner. And because of the mess he made upstairs before, all the customers above ran away, and a group of tellers hid in the safe room, leaving only one at the door waiting for the police.

The first floor of the entire bank is wide open. Although the faint sound of police sirens has come from afar, this blank period of two or three minutes is enough for Bruce to take the hostages out from the side door on the other side of the bank and successfully go around back to the car.

Bruce throws the man into the back seat.

"Listen, sir, we are from Canada, doing a job and leaving. If we really rob the bank in a swaggering manner and succeed, the police will chase us to the ends of the earth. But if you just disappear, they won't spend so much effort. You should have quite a few enemies, right?"

The man in the back seat has a face as ugly as if he were crying.

The Pale Knight finally understands. Good guy, you are not robbing a bank, you are robbing a banker.

Now he understands why Bruce could say that this man was holding a custom constellation card. It turns out he had his eye on him early on.

The Pale Knight recalls again. Judging from the fire layout map on the first floor, this bank should not have a VIP reception room, which is not strange. Generally, only the largest main branch in the city will set up relatively complete reception facilities, and other branches are only scattered counters.

But this man is sitting at a table with the best view in the entire bank, by the window but not by the street, and there are dense plants outside the window. The scenery is good, and the privacy is also good.

And the sales person who received this man was dressed appropriately, and the smile was also very enthusiastic. Judging from the overall temperament, it should be a customer manager.

Combined with the custom card he was holding, it was clear at a glance that he was a big customer of this bank. ===== CHAPTER 3209 =====
