Chapter 118: The Final Battle
At this critical moment of testing humanity.
Zhang Laomou couldn't help but sigh.
As a famous director.
His empathy and ability to immerse himself while watching a movie were clearly much stronger than the average viewer.
At this moment, he also empathized with the despair and struggle of all the passengers!
"Actually, when the majority agrees to use a vote to decide something that clearly violates morality."
"It basically means there's a result."
"They just want to find an excuse to avoid taking responsibility."
"But at the same time, it also shows that these ordinary people are restraining themselves from taking that step."
"And as time becomes more pressing."
"Even the stances of countless official personnel became unsteady."
"At this moment, they also need a reason to press the button."
Zhang Laomou's voice faded.
Following the Joker's gaze.
Everyone looked at the sea in the distance.
The two ferries were still floating quietly on the sea.
And inside the cabins.
It seemed that, just as the Joker said.
It was the most critical moment!
In front of the black giant.
The official's gaze became retreating, became hesitant.
Just as Zhang Laomou said.
He needed someone to give him a reason to press the button.
"Give me the detonator!"
"You can say it was snatched by me."
The giant seemed to see through the official's thoughts and gave him a reason.
"Give it to me, I'll do what you should have done ten minutes ago!"
Finally.
Amidst the struggle.
The official handed the detonator to the giant with trembling hands.
Instantly!
All the prisoners' gazes gathered on the giant!
In front of the screen.
Countless viewers' hearts sank!
Finally... they had crossed the bottom line!
Even the official had succumbed to his own cowardice!
But... no one could blame them for anything!
After all, humans are creatures afraid of death!
Even if it were them up there, they couldn't guarantee they could stick to their bottom line and kindness!
[Sigh... it ended like this after all....]
[Old Zhang was right, everyone probably just needed a boost, a reason to convince themselves to do it!]
[Batman, why did you suddenly fail!!]
[You can't blame Batman for this, the Joker really hid too deep!!]
[Yeah!! Who could have imagined his combat value would be this high!]
[It seems the prisoner ship is going to be the final survivor after all...]
[Ordinary people are still hesitating, the black brother has already made the decision for the military!]
As the live stream comments flooded in.
In the scene.
Everyone's gaze was gathered on the black giant's hand.
That small detonator looked so tiny in the giant's palm!
But it was such a small... crude detonator!
Yet it could decide the lives of hundreds of innocent citizens!
With a light press!
That soaring fire would make all the people of Gotham witness the success of the Joker's conspiracy!
And right under the gaze of all!
The black giant threw the detonator out the window to the side without hesitation.
Following the faint sound of it hitting the water.
Instantly!
Everyone's expressions froze!
Countless viewers were stunned in front of the screen!
No one expected!
The first thing the giant did after getting the detonator... was to throw it away?!
Without hesitation!
Without any struggle or thought!
Just like that, he threw it into the vast sea!
Could it be... what he meant by what he should have done ten minutes ago!
Was to throw the detonator away?!
For a time!
All the viewers' hearts were like raging waves!
And inside the cabin!
Whether it was the official or the other prisoners!
They were all staring at the black giant in a daze!
There was surprise on their faces! There was bewilderment! There was unwillingness! But the most... was being moved!!
[The anthem of humanity is the anthem of courage, the greatness of humanity is the greatness of courage!]
[This, this, this is too stunning!!]
[Honestly... I cried....]
[This is the radiance of humanity!!!]
[*Sob*, please must see this radiance of humanity!!]
[The other ship needs to step up!!]
[What everyone needs is not just someone to help them cross the bottom line! Sometimes they also need someone to pull them back at the edge of the cliff!]
[Brother is a real man!!]
[Actually, you can see that many prisoners also breathed a sigh of relief... perhaps he also did what many people truly wanted to do in their hearts!]
Amidst the overwhelming comments of being moved in the live stream.
All the viewers were clearly deeply touched!
In the face of this radiance of humanity!
Everyone was moved!
And on the other side!
In the civilian cabin!
As he got the detonator from the officer.
The middle-aged man who had insisted on detonating first had his hands trembling uncontrollably.
It seemed that only when he really put his finger on the detonator!
Did he truly examine what he was doing in his heart!
Amidst the incredibly tense music!
All the viewers were silently cheering for him!
The cabin was silent!
All the passengers were also waiting for the man to make his decision!
Because at this moment, no one in their hearts could make up their minds either!
The middle-aged man looked up at the time one last time, his eyes trembling slightly.
But... this time approaching twelve o'clock didn't bring him the urgency he imagined...
At this moment...
What surfaced in his mind was another question!
Why... hasn't the other ship pressed the button yet?!
If they press it, then which ship's people are the cold-blooded executioners?
Finally!
Amidst the violent trembling!
The middle-aged man took a deep breath and put down the detonator without hesitation!
At this moment!!
Everyone suddenly breathed a sigh of relief!
All the passengers silently lowered their heads!
Seemingly waiting for the final moment to arrive!
And at this moment!
The viewers in front of the screen burst into unprecedented cheers!
Only they knew!
How brilliant things had happened in these few minutes!
There were no blood-pumping, heart-stopping scenes!
There was only the flash of humanity!
But this flash of humanity was more brilliant than anything else! More gorgeous!!
Both sides gave up the opportunity to press the button!
Both sides made their own choices!
Both sides stuck to their bottom line until the end!
At this moment, they were not the numb crowd that usually needed to rely on the police or order!
But a group of true human beings with flesh and blood, with bottom lines and humanity!
The anthem of humanity is the anthem of courage!
At this moment, everyone mustered the courage to face death!
And atop the building!
Amidst the gale!
The Joker raised the corner of his mouth, preparing to accept this grand fireworks show!
But the silent sea in the distance made the corner of his mouth rise and fall! Rise again! Fall again!
He wanted to prove the darkness of human nature.
But... he failed!
He was finally disappointed once!
This was also the only flash of human light in the entire movie so far!
Although it was barely passing, the citizens ultimately held onto their bottom line as human beings!
And Batman, who was pinned down, also spoke.
"What do you want to prove?"
"That everyone's heart is as dark as yours?"
"It should just be you, right?"
Facing Batman's mockery.
The Joker's eyes became heavy.
"These days, no one is reliable, you have to do everything yourself, right?"
"It doesn't matter, I have two plans."
Saying this.
The Joker took out the detonator from his clothes.
"This world is really interesting, speaking of which, do you know how these scars came to be?"
Saying this, the Joker pointed to the corner of his mouth at Batman.
But Batman moved his arm slightly without changing his expression.
"I don't know, but I know you'll have a few more scars!"
As the words fell!
