Chapter 114: The detonator to blow up the opposite ship?! [Third update!!]

And the crew member who went down to the engine room, after seeing the situation clearly by the light,

Froze directly on the stairs.

The terrified expression was clearly visible to all the viewers!

And the next scene!

Everyone also knew the reason for the crew member’s terror!

In the dim engine room!

Besides the necessary equipment! Oil drums were piled up densely!

Just like the warehouse where Rachel was kidnapped!

It was full of oil drums! And above the oil drums, there was a bomb!

Instantly!

Everyone was startled!

What... is the situation?!

As the crew member ran back to the cabin with a strange gift box and said.

"Captain, there are a hundred oil drums below! It could explode at any time! And this thing!"

At the same time!

On the other ferry transporting civilians.

The same situation was happening!

A soldier hurriedly handed the gift box in his hand to the military officer!

Opening the gift box.

Novel group: 703216220

A detonator came into view!

"My God..."

"Looks like a detonator?!"

"Why did they give us the detonator for the bomb??"

At this time.

Not only the captain and the officer had doubts about this.

The viewers in front of the screen were even more confused!

They could now roughly infer that the two ferries had been tampered with by the Joker!

The bombs and oil drums were also placed by the Joker!

Then... why did the Joker go to such great lengths to place oil drums and bombs.

Let the two ferries stall.

And then handed the detonator to the captain and the military?!

But soon!

The Joker answered everyone’s question personally!

Accompanied by the buzzing sound of current!

On both ferries.

The Joker’s voice came out of the speakers without warning!

"Tonight, you’re all going to participate in a social experiment!"

Instantly!

The Joker’s words made everyone at the scene, civilians! Police! Military! And even prisoners freeze for a moment!

This sentence.

Clearly directly admitted that the stalling of the ferries was the Joker’s doing!

And the purpose...

Was to have them participate in a so-called social experiment?!

Although the Joker’s wording was very formal.

But everyone felt a chill when they heard this sentence!

The more normal the Joker seems, the more abnormal he is!

He is a complete madman!

And at the same time!

Listening to the Joker’s voice!

In the Wayne building, Lucius also searched quickly! Looking for the Joker’s location!

"A wonderful magic created by diesel and ammonium nitrate!"

"I can blow you all to the sky whenever I want!"

In an instant!

The Joker’s next sentence completely ignited panic in everyone!

Even the group of prisoners, who usually committed murder and arson without a shred of conscience, jumped to their feet!

When other gang members or even bosses speak, their words might be mere intimidation or threats.

But the Joker...

Having mingled in the underworld themselves,

how could they have never heard of the atrocities committed by this madman, the Joker!

What he says... especially when it threatens the lives of others!

Is absolutely, one hundred percent serious! And he truly wants to kill people!

This is the consensus among all the gang-affiliated prisoners!

"Freedom, please respond, please respond!"

"Communications are completely cut off..."

The captain was still making a futile struggle.

But the Joker’s voice continued to broadcast.

"Don't think about escaping; if anyone tries to jump off the ship, everyone will be blown to bits!"

A single sentence shattered everyone's hope of escape!

There were bombs on the ferry, but they could have jumped into the water to escape!

But now, this sentence from the Joker meant he would be monitoring their actions in real-time!

Once an attempt to jump ship occurred!

He would detonate the bombs directly!

Which means!

Everyone on both ships is now trapped on this stretch of sea!

The engines had been tampered with by the Joker!

Bombs had been placed on the ships!

They couldn't escape by jumping ship or using lifeboats!

They couldn't even contact each other or the outside world! Communications had been severed!

No rescue! No self-rescue! No escape!

In other words, everyone is forced to participate in the social experiment the Joker spoke of!

[Holy crap... what exactly does the Joker want to do?!]

[Too ruthless... kidnapping the people on two ships for some social experiment...]

[What experiment? The Joker just wants to play!!]

[So all of this planning was for this very moment!!]

[He forced all the civilians to leave! He forced the authorities to use ferries to transport prisoners and citizens! Just for this!]

[Doesn't that mean... the police and the citizens personally delivered themselves and the prisoners into the Joker's hands?!]

[Terrifying... this kind of calculation, you can't guess the Joker's next move at all!]

[One link after another! You can never imagine which of the Joker's words are true!]

[Every word is laying the groundwork for the next plan... a person like this is either a madman or a complete genius!]

In the live stream...

All the viewers were even more shocked by the Joker's insane and genius plan!

From start to finish, the police and the military seemed to be cooperating with the Joker's plan! Delivering the lives of two ships into the Joker's hands!

And now!

Only one, or perhaps two, questions remained!

What exactly is the Joker's purpose in doing this?!

And what will this social experiment of his be?!

And the next second!

On the broadcast.

The Joker's voice carried a hint of mockery.

"You each have a detonator to blow up the other ship!"

!!!

In an instant!

All the viewers in front of their screens were in an uproar!

*Sob*, I had something to take care of yesterday and went out, so I'm making up for what I didn't post yesterday!! Third update!!

And inside the Wayne building...

Lucius finally tracked the Joker's voice!

"His voice is on the ferry, but that's not the source..."

"He's in the west!"

"The Pruitt Building!"

In an instant!

Batman didn't hesitate at all, immediately starting the Batpod and rushing toward the destination!

At the same time.

He also called Gordon! Notifying him of the Joker's location!

"Gordon, listen to me, the Joker is in the Pruitt Building!"

"Get officers stationed in the building across the street!"

And on the ferry.

"You each have a detonator to blow up the other ship!"

After the Joker's voice faded!

The live stream was in an uproar!

None of the viewers had expected this.

That the detonator the Joker placed in the cabin... was actually for the explosives placed on the opposite ferry!

That means...

Now the people on both ferries hold each other's lives in their hands?!

But before the viewers could think much more!

The Joker also appeared on screen!

Atop a building nearing completion! The Joker stood before a floor-to-ceiling window, gazing far out at the two ferries on the sea!

The position was perfect for surveillance and observation!

And at this moment!

The Joker was even holding a speech script in his hand!

"When midnight strikes!"

"I will blow you all to bits~"

"However, if someone blows up the other ferry first! I will spare the people on the remaining ferry!"
