Chapter 584: All Sewn Up (Part 4)
In the laboratory of Cat Getan University, the confrontation continued. Now Lex had the upper hand; his advantage was too great.
The Joker has a mental critical hit attribute against Batman, while the physical critical hit is handed over to Mr. Freeze's technology. Lex's wisdom coordinates the two, allowing them to achieve perfect tactical coordination. Therefore, Batman was currently very embarrassed.
Lex waved his hand, and the ubiquitous cold mist made Batman's movements slow. His dodging action was delayed for just a split second, and an ice cone flew past his waist, cutting open his Batman armor and leaving a large gash on his waist.
That crazy laughter made Batman's head dizzy. Accompanied by the extremely low temperature, he felt his thinking was a bit sluggish.
In order to dodge that ice cone, Batman moved his body to the side, but he was a bit 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 Cat Getan with this? A huge joke, hahahahaha!
!"
Lex used verbal attacks while also coordinating with physical attacks. Although he wasn't as crazy as Jack, he had much higher physical attacks than Jack, making Batman even more embarrassed.
Batman's tactics against the Joker were mainly aimed at Jokers like Jack, who were 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 were no good defensive means, and he 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 slipped away secretly, but he wasn't doing it to save 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 anymore, revealing a flaw. With a "bang," he slipped and fell to the ground, while Lex raised the ice cone with crazy laughter.
Suddenly, the laboratory door was opened again. With two "whoosh" sounds, the two people fighting didn't react in time and were frozen into ice sculptures.
A gloomy-faced Victor appeared outside the door. Looking at the messy laboratory, his anger rose from his heart, and evil grew from his courage.
No researcher could allow their laboratory to be ruined like this. What Batman, what Joker—Victor didn't care at all.
Now, he only had two troublemaking students in his eyes who, because of personal grudges, had turned their teacher's experimental venue into this. Not only were they lawless, but they also didn't know how to respect their teacher.
Victor took a deep breath, slightly calmed his urge to kill, and came between the two ice sculptures.
He first looked to the left. Batman was still maintaining the posture of falling to the ground, looking like a victim of campus bullying. Then he looked to the right. Although Lex was thin and small, he was holding the ice cone high, looking very fierce.
Victor folded his arms, stood between the two of them, and said: "Who can explain to me what on earth you two are doing???"
"You! What's your name? Lex, right? It's your first day in my lab, and you dare to turn this place into this. You still have to attend college here for four years!"
"My God, I really should check your parents' phone number at the communication office and have 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 on me calling you that." Victor understood Batman's meaning and said: "But I hope you know, no matter what you are called, you are a student of Cat Getan University and 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 this as campus bullying? You are only in your freshman year, and you dare to do such a thing. If Cobblepot hadn't come to find me, what else would you two want to do? Cause a death here?"
And Cobblepot, who ran to report, sat on the chair next to him, watching the two people being scolded with schadenfreude, showing a very rare happy smile.
"You two listen to me, tomorrow... no! Right now! I'm going to call the teacher at the Academic Affairs Office now! Let him come here to register a disciplinary action for you. 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 went to prison. Why? Now you want to come here again to add some prison time 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 a bit 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 lab today, and he broke the most expensive and important equipment in the entire lab, and he even wanted to bully others on campus!"
"And, look at his expression, he is actually still laughing, without any repentance, it's 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 lab 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 his body, covering the entire room. Then, he turned to Victor and said: "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 at 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 the two people.
"Fine, fine, Victor, but you always have to allow these kinds of naughty ghosts to exist in this world. Calm down, unfreeze them first, I guarantee they won't be able to run..."
Schiller walked between the two ice sculptures, looked at them both, and said: "You have to guarantee to me that after the freezing is lifted, you won't move around, otherwise you will really be withdrawn from school."
Batman blinked first, and Lex, seeing Schiller, also restrained his smile and then blinked.
Victor snorted coldly and picked up the freeze gun in his hand again. After two rays hit, the ice shattered, and both of them were stunned 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, and Batman hurriedly stepped forward and covered his mouth."
"Shut up! I don't want to withdraw from school!" Batman whispered.
At this time, Lex seemed to have regained some reason. Before, in order to deal with Batman, he used a lot of that kind of freezing mist, and the raw materials for this mist were all stored in the blue liquid in his body.
As that liquid decreased, the Wine God Factor that countered it no longer worked violently. Therefore, the crazy part belonging to the Joker gradually faded, and Lex slowly regained his reason, and then he discovered that he seemed to have caused a big disaster.
He looked around at the scene of the laboratory and knew that if he didn't admit his mistake immediately, his college career would end here.
Although this is Cat Getan's big stage and the duel between Batman and the Joker is good to watch, fighting in the laboratory and breaking research equipment will lead to withdrawal from school.
"Fine, tell me, what on earth 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 lab to find Victor.
Schiller called Victor's dormitory, but no one answered. He thought Victor must be working in the lab late at night, so he simply found his way here. As a result, he didn't expect to catch Batman and the Joker fighting.
When asked what on earth was going on, Batman and Lex both turned their heads to look at Thomas, who was currently lying in the wreckage of the liquid storage equipment.
The two of them spoke one after another, and in the process of trying to shift the blame to each other, they made clear what was going on. Combined with the information Schiller had previously obtained from Hugo and Tetch, the truth of these murder cases was already ready to come out.
Hugo, in order to obtain the basic resources to gain a foothold in Cat Getan, set his sights on the Elliot family. Because this family only had one heir, Thomas, he guided a certain part of the emotions in Thomas's heart, making 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 clear his name, which was to first use the murder case of Doris to go to prison, creating an alibi for himself, and then Hugo would commit another murder case, connecting the two murder cases to become a serial murder case.
And because Thomas was already in prison, but the cases were still happening, there was a reason to clear his name that the first case wasn't done by him. This way, Thomas could be cleared of guilt.
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 that he didn't do it himself, but used the same hypnotic means to control other students to do it. ===== CHAPTER 585 =====
