Chapter 584

In the laboratory of Gotham University, the confrontation was still continuing. Now Lex had the upper hand; his advantage was too great.

The Joker possessed the attribute of mental critical hits against Batman, while physical critical hits were handed over to Mr. Freeze's technology. Lex's wisdom coordinated the two, allowing them to achieve perfect tactical cooperation. Therefore, Batman was very embarrassed now.

Lex waved his hand, and that ubiquitous cold mist made Batman move slowly. His dodging action was delayed by only a moment, and an ice cone flew past his waist, cutting open his bat armor and leaving a large gash on his waist.

That crazy laughter made Batman dizzy. Accompanied by the extremely low temperature, he felt his thinking was somewhat sluggish.

In order to dodge that ice cone, Batman moved his body to the side, but his center of gravity was somewhat unstable because the ground was too slippery. He stumbled, his shoulder hit the desk, and he let out a low groan.

"Batman! Hahahaha! Batman! Is this you?? Now who is unarmed? Who is losing repeatedly? Do you want to save Gotham with this? A huge joke, hahahahahaha!

!"

Lex used verbal attacks while also coordinating physical attacks. Although he wasn't as crazy as Jack, his physical attacks were much higher than Jack's, making Batman even more embarrassed.

Batman's tactics against the Joker were mainly aimed at Jokers like Jack—opponents with high mental attacks and low physical attacks. The result of only adding magic defense and not physical defense was that when encountering an enemy with physical armor-piercing attacks, there was no good defensive means and one could only dodge.

And what no one noticed was that a short figure who was still in the laboratory just now was gone. Cobblepot had already secretly slipped away, but he certainly wasn't for the sake of saving his life.

In order to dodge that kind of cold mist, Batman's physical strength was consumed more and more. Finally, he couldn't hold on, revealed a flaw, and fell to the ground with a "bang," while Lex raised the ice cone with crazy laughter.

Suddenly, the laboratory door was opened again. With two "whoosh" sounds, the two people who were fighting didn't react and were frozen into ice sculptures.

Victor, with a gloomy face, appeared outside the door. Looking at the messy laboratory, his anger rose from his heart, and evil grew to his courage.

No researcher could allow their laboratory to be messed up like this. What Batman, what Joker—Victor didn't care at all.

Now, in his eyes, there were only two mischievous students who, because of personal grievances, had turned their teacher's experimental field into this. Not only were they lawless, but they also didn't know how to respect their teacher and follow the way.

Victor took a deep breath, slightly calmed his murderous emotions, and came between the two ice sculptures.

He first looked to the left. Batman still maintained the posture of falling to the ground, looking like a victim of campus bullying. Then he looked to the right. Although Lex was thin, he held the ice cone high, looking very ferocious.

Victor folded his arms, stood between the two of them, and said, "Who can explain to me what exactly you guys are doing???"

"You! What's your name? Lex, right? You came to my laboratory on the first day and dared to mess up the place like this. You still have to attend university here for four years!"

"My god, I really should go to the communication office to check your parents' phone number and let them handle your withdrawal immediately!"

"And you, Bruce..."

Just as Victor said this, Batman's mouth moved. Looking at the lip shape, he was saying "Please call me Batman."

"Fine, Batman, if you insist that I call you that." Victor understood Batman's meaning and said, "But I hope you know, no matter what you call yourself, you are a student of Gotham University. You must abide by school rules. Not fighting in school is the basic quality of every student!"

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Lex again and said, "What are you trying to do holding that thing? Can I understand it as you bullying on campus? You are only in the first grade and you dare to do such a thing? If Cobblepot hadn't come to find me, what else would you guys want to do? Cause a death here?"

And Cobblepot, who ran to report, sat on the chair nearby, looking at the two people being scolded with schadenfreude, revealing a very rare happy smile.

"You two listen to me, tomorrow... No! Right now! I'm going to call the teacher of the Academic Affairs Office now! Let him come here to register your punishment. Don't even think about talking back to me!"

"Oh, there's another one. Isn't this Thomas? You caused a murder case before and let yourself go to prison. Why? Now you still want to come here to add some prison term for yourself?"

Just as Victor said this, the door was knocked. He turned his head, Cobblepot stood up to open the door, and appearing outside the door was Schiller.

Schiller nodded to Cobblepot and then walked into the laboratory. After he came in, looking at the two big ice sculptures in the room, he was somewhat stunned. He asked, "What's going on? Why is it so lively here?"

"Schiller, you came just in time!" Victor walked to Schiller's side, pointed at the two ice sculptures, and said, "Look at the two good students you taught!"

"Him! He came to my laboratory today for the first time and broke the most expensive and important equipment in the entire laboratory, and even wanted to bully on campus!"

"And, look at his expression, he is still laughing, not knowing how to repent, simply outrageous!" Victor was so angry that his eyebrows were raised.

"And him! Our Mr. Bruce Wayne..." Speaking of this, Batman in the ice sculpture moved his mouth again. Victor took a deep breath and said, "Fine, Batman, our Mr. Batman!"

"He rushed into my laboratory in the middle of the night and fought with this Lex! I know he is not a good student, but I didn't expect him to be this rotten!

!"

Schiller patted Victor on the shoulder, first soothing his emotions, and then, gray mist permeated around him, covering the entire room. Then, he turned his head to Victor and said, "Let's unfreeze them first, I'll listen to what they have to say..."

"You still want to be a judge here?!" Victor raised his tone and said, "If you ask me, we should directly find the teacher of the Academic Affairs Office to give them a major demerit! Or directly let them withdraw from school, these lawless little brats!

!"

"Calm down, Victor. You have to think, they are all under 20 years old. Weren't we the same when we were teenagers?"

"I was a good student with excellent character and learning when I was a teenager!" Victor said unhappily, while glancing at those two people with his eyes.

"Fine, fine, Victor, but you always have to allow such naughty ghosts to exist in this world. Calm down, unfreeze them first, I guarantee they can't run..."

Schiller walked between the two ice sculptures, looked at them left and right, and then said, "You have to guarantee to me that after the freezing is unfrozen, you won't move around, otherwise you will really be withdrawn from school."

Batman blinked first. When Lex saw Schiller, he also restrained his smile and then blinked.

Victor snorted coldly, picked up the freeze gun in his hand again. After two rays hit, the ice shattered, and both of them stood in place without moving.

"Look, I said, their performance of admitting mistakes is still not bad." Schiller turned to pat Victor on the shoulder.

Just at this moment, Joker Lex instinctively wanted to burst into laughter. Batman hurriedly stepped forward and covered his mouth."

"Shut up! I don't want to withdraw from school!" Batman lowered his voice and said.

At this time, Lex seemed to have regained some reason. Before, in order to deal with Batman, he used a lot of that freezing mist, and the raw materials for this mist were all stored in his body as that kind of blue liquid.

As that liquid decreased, the Wine Factor opposing it no longer worked violently. Therefore, the crazy part belonging to the Joker gradually faded, Lex slowly regained his reason, and then he discovered that he seemed to have caused a huge disaster.

He looked around at the scene of the laboratory and knew that if he didn't hurry to admit his mistake now, his college career would end here.

Although this was Gotham's big stage and the duel between Batman and the Joker was good to watch, fighting in the laboratory and breaking research equipment would lead to withdrawal from school.

"Alright, tell me, what exactly is going on? Why did you two fight?" Schiller looked at the two of them and asked. He really didn't know; he came to the laboratory to find Victor.

Schiller called Victor's dormitory, but no one answered. He thought Victor must be working in the laboratory overnight, so he simply found his way here. He didn't expect to catch Batman and the Joker fighting.

Asked what exactly was going on, Batman and Lex both turned their heads and looked at Thomas, who was lying in the wreckage of the liquid storage equipment at this time.

The two of them talked one after another, trying to shift the blame to the other party, and explained clearly what was going on. Combined with the information Schiller had previously obtained from Hugo and Tetch separately, the truth of these murder cases had already been revealed.

Hugo, in order to obtain the basic resources to gain a foothold in Gotham, targeted the Elliot family. Because this family only had one heir, Thomas, he guided a certain part of the emotions in Thomas's heart, letting him want to kill his own parents.

However, Thomas didn't want to go to prison because of a murder case. So, Hugo gave him a plan to escape guilt, which was to first use Doris's murder case to go to prison, create an alibi for himself, and then Hugo would commit another murder case, connecting the two murder cases and becoming a serial murder case.

And because Thomas had already gone to prison, but the cases were still happening, then there was the reason for escaping guilt that the first case wasn't done by him. That way, he could escape guilt for Thomas.

In order to achieve this goal, Hugo killed the second victim in the gymnasium's lounge. And the reason he could come and go without a trace was because he didn't do it himself, but used the same hypnotic means to control other students to do it.
