Chapter 3583: Edge of Tomorrow (40)

Harley's heart was a bit up and down.

Originally, she was very confident about this plan. After all, she was going to be defeated and captured, not necessarily having to win. It's hard to want to win, but isn't it simple to want to lose?

Now it seems that's not the case.

This is like being matched with a heaven-defying teammate when playing a game and not wanting him to win, deliberately wanting to lose, only to find that the opponent is even less human. The speed at which you send is not as fast as the speed at which your teammate kills.

Actually, in order to ensure the authenticity of the acting, Harley still spent some effort on the level design. After all, she wanted Batman to recruit her, so she had to show some ability.

Otherwise, she would lose in one encounter, which would make her look very weak. That way, there would be no value in turning her.

So although the final outcome is failure, the process still has to be fought back and forth a few times. So although calling Jack over was mainly to walk his new car, it was also to increase the difficulty for this bunch of people.

However, the Joker driving a truck to appear was just for the appearance, not to defeat anyone.

According to the original plan, the Joker drove the car over, was dodged by someone, then he let out a series of rampant laughter, and then drove toward the factory, so that he could lead people into the factory.

As a result, I didn't expect that someone here couldn't dodge!

Harley was strange. It wasn't high speed, and there was only such a car within hundreds of meters, without any obstacles to dodge, so how could they not dodge?

But this car took a double kill as soon as it appeared, directly killing two members of the team, and even hitting Batman.

Harley stood on the scaffolding above the factory, sighing in her heart. In the plan, she also had to join forces with the Joker to fight Batman. This Batman can't even walk well; how many dishes must her performance be to be captured by him?

Of course, Harley's close-quarters combat is not good, basically belonging to the gym level. To cover up this shortcoming, she prepared a gun, and Batman doesn't use a gun.

Originally, Harley had an advantage in weapons, and Batman had an advantage in physical fitness and skills, so the two sides fought to a draw, Harley was physically exhausted, and Batman won a miserable victory. This can show her power and be captured by Batman.

As a result, Batman's physical fitness and skill advantages are gone now. If Harley still rushes up with a gun and kills them both, what should she do?

Finding that Batman was injured, Harley started hiding the gun in a panic. But this factory is bare, and she is not going to jump down to make a stunning appearance. There are a few bare poles and boards above, not near the door or window; where is the place to hide the gun?

Harley looked around with the submachine gun in her hand, and couldn't find a suitable place for a long time. Finally, she had no choice but to take a rope to tie the gun and hang it on the pole next to it.

Although this place is very unreasonable, as soon as she jumps down, she will definitely attract Batman's attention and won't let him look up. It shouldn't be discovered.

Just as Harley finished tying the knots, the Task Force team walked in. Harley hurriedly let out a laugh:

"Hahahahahaha! You really came?! Did you bring my Puddin'?"

Harley jumped down with a neat flip, and after jumping down, the grappling hook wrapped around the pole in front and swung, then rolled on the spot, stood up and clapped her hands, making a look of being familiar with the road.

Although it looks like this on the surface, she actually practiced this set of movements quite a few times. After all, she doesn't have gymnastics like most Harley Quinns in the universe; she usually steps on other people's feet even when dancing. Being able to practice this section is thanks to the help of the seniors of the Gotham University cheerleading dance troupe.

The most difficult part was completed, and Harley breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Are you here to save this bunch of idiots?! But unfortunately, you have no chance. Hahahahaha!!"

After speaking, Harley took out a remote control from her pocket. She pressed the button, and the rope hanging those few people began to descend slowly.

Of course, because she knew in advance that there was no Deadshot in the new team, the remaining people's marksmanship was not that good, and they might not be able to break the braking device, so the rope descended very slowly. According to this speed, it is estimated that it will take about half an hour for those few people to touch the edge of the chemical pool.

And, in order to let these few people notice the braking device, Harley also specially made this small box, which was only the size of a palm, half the size of a person, and painted it in very conspicuous yellow and purple colors, almost drawing arrows next to it. Coupled with the two insiders, Deathstroke and Pamela, it should be easy to save the hostages.

It's not that Harley is soft-hearted, the key is that Batman is morally clean and stubborn. If she melted these few people in front of him, then it is estimated that he would not think about recruiting her. So she can only leave them alive.

Sure enough, Pamela stood out and pointed to the braking device above and said: "That should be the braking device! Hit that!"

Deathstroke had already raised his gun to aim. Just at the moment he was about to fire, Batman shouted: "Wait!"

Deathstroke almost had a finger cramp. Don't know that this job can't be stopped halfway? It's easy to get a lumbar disc herniation!

Pamela looked at Deathstroke with some resentment secretly: he let you stop and you stop? You just hit it. Can he hit you after you hit it?

Deathstroke didn't want to care about Batman either, but he felt that his persona was not that righteous. If he really shot and exploded the braking device to save these hostages, it would look a bit too much like a superhero, not in line with the persona of a mercenary who listens to things, so he braked urgently.

"That's not a braking device, that's a trap!" Batman said, "The wheel and braking device hanging so many people can't be that big. He must have installed a bomb inside!"

At this time, Jack the Joker, who was eavesdropping outside the window on the second floor of the factory, said in the headset: "What did I say, you made that thing so obvious, he definitely won't hit it!"

Harley hummed in her heart. She naturally also expected that Batman's suspicious personality would make him not so easily fooled, so she had two hands ready.

She gave Pamela a look, and Pamela immediately turned to Victor and said: "Then freeze the hostages first, so that even if they fall into the pool, they won't be corroded by chemicals!"

Victor raised his gun and was about to pull the trigger, when another sound came from behind: "Wait!"

Victor also almost had a finger cramp. He couldn't help but look back at Injustice Batman with anger.

"How can you guarantee that chemicals won't corrode ice cubes? Many chemicals produce high temperatures when in contact with water, which will instead cause serious damage. Can't do this!"

This Victor couldn't be happy. He stared at Injustice Batman and said: "Didn't I say it? This is not an ordinary ice cube, this is dense ice, dense ice does not participate in heat exchange with the outside world..."

"There is nothing in this world that does not participate in heat exchange; this is a physical rule," Injustice Batman said sonorously.

"That's because your cognition is limited and your vision is short-sighted!" Victor didn't retreat half a step.

Scientists are like this; in the field they are good at, they absolutely do not allow others to question themselves. Dense ice is Victor's proudest invention, and he absolutely does not allow anyone to question its efficacy.

Even from a practical point of view, he has another boss here. What if Batman talks nonsense here and Harley believes it, then what about his Tomorrow League job?!

That is a 500,000 US dollar annual salary!

Under the stimulation of scientific spirit and money, Victor erupted with amazing potential. In order to refute Injustice Batman's "physical rule" statement, he began to explain the principle of dense ice technology on the spot.

Harley couldn't help but wrinkle her eyes and tilt her head to the side. Is there any normal person here?! Can you look at the occasion! Is this the time for class?!

But at the critical moment, Deathstroke is the most reliable. The main thing is that he is the one who needs money the most; he needs this 500,000 US dollars too much.

Victor and Injustice Batman's argument hadn't stopped, Deathstroke rushed toward Harley in one step. Harley didn't know what he was going to do, and hurriedly dodged back. Deathstroke pretended to engage in close-quarters combat with her, but actually reached her side and whispered: "You pretend to be beaten away by me."

Harley immediately understood what to do. So she began to fake fight with Deathstroke, but Harley's close-quarters combat technology was really too poor, and the fight was flowery. Deathstroke couldn't look down, and used gestures to signal her to run quickly.

"You damn bastard!" Harley cursed and turned to run. Deathstroke chased behind, and couldn't chase too fast, for fear that Harley would fall.

Running to the equipment behind, Harley followed the route she had chosen in advance, climbed onto the highest water pump, and then violently lifted the waterproof cloth covering the machine in front.

The machine frame under the waterproof cloth was full of bombs.

"Hahahahahaha... cough cough cough..." Harley, who should have made a proud laugh, almost choked herself because she hadn't caught her breath after that movement.

Originally, it was after they successfully rescued the hostages, Harley closed the warehouse door, and then exposed the bombs, forcing Batman to come up and fight her for the remote control, and then pretend to be defeated and captured.

Now it seems there is no play to rescue the hostages, but the bombs that have been arranged cannot be wasted, and Batman must be forced up.

So Harley stood on a pile of bombs as in the script, waved the remote control at the bottom and said: "I will blow you to the sky along with these few idiots! If you have the ability, come and stop me!"

Deathstroke pretended to be shocked, retreated to Batman's side and said: "This guy is really crazy. So many bombs are enough to flatten half of the factory area!"

Pamela stretched out a vine, wrapped it around Harley, but was dodged by Harley flexibly. She said anxiously: "I don't dare to stimulate her; if she presses the button, we will all be finished!"

Then she looked at Batman seriously again and said: "Batman, now we can only rely on you!"

As soon as this was said, it instantly returned to the field Batman was familiar with.

But unfortunately, Amanda and the Suicide Squad members didn't think so. Amanda's voice came from everyone's headset:

"Savant calculates the trajectory, uses the communicator to transmit to Polka-Dot's combat eyepiece. Polka-Dot, use polka-dot bombs to hit her down!"

"Wait!" The two Batmen said in unison.
