Chapter 85
As the barrage of comments surged.
Every viewer was looking forward to the film Su Chen was bringing.
Although it was a superhero movie, it was destined to lack high ratings or a great plot.
But just seeing Su Chen play a superhero was novel enough!
For this round.
Su Chen’s ten-day veteran fans were also fully prepared.
After all, they had already taken first place enough times.
It was time to occasionally give other contestants a chance.
Playing a superhero for the thrill of it was even more of a treat for the fans!
Holding this thought in mind.
The screen slowly lit up.
And when the skyscraper-filled Gotham City appeared before all the viewers.
Everyone still couldn't help but be stunned!
The previous perspective had followed the protagonist from within the city.
Coupled with the gloomy color palette and weather.
It had made all the viewers feel a suffocating atmosphere.
But this time!
They had switched to an overhead perspective.
The feeling was completely different!
Under the sunlight, Gotham City appeared incredibly prosperous!
On the bright, wide streets.
A figure stood quietly with their back to the camera, a square bag slung over one shoulder.
And in the hand on the other side.
They were holding... a clown mask?!
Instantly.
The clown mask that appeared just ten seconds into the opening made every viewer’s heart tighten!
After all, in the synopsis for this film, the Clown was the villain! The boss of the movie!
Which meant he was Su Chen’s mortal enemy!
It’s just that...
At first glance, why did this back profile feel inexplicably familiar... and even a bit like Su Chen...?
But this thought was quickly cast to the back of the viewers' minds.
As an off-road vehicle pulled up in front of this mysterious person suspected to be the Clown.
The clown-masked man opened the car door and got in.
And it wasn't until they were in the car.
That all the viewers discovered in astonishment!
Including the clown-masked man who had just boarded, everyone in the car was wearing a clown mask!
At the same time, high above.
A grappling hook pierced through and connected two high-rise buildings.
Two figures, also wearing clown masks, descended onto the rooftop via a zip line!
Then the camera cut.
In the car.
The three of them were organizing the firearms in their hands.
Only then did the viewers realize.
This gang, all wearing identical clown masks, was clearly planning and executing some criminal act!
And to go to such lengths... among the many crimes, only a bank robbery fit the bill!
The two in the front seats were talking while driving, while the clown-masked man who had just boarded the back seat was checking his firearms without saying a word.
"Let's go, just like that?"
"Just the three of us?"
"The other two are on the roof, everyone gets a share, five people is enough!"
"It's six, don't forget the mastermind!"
Hearing about the mastermind, one of them was somewhat dissatisfied.
"He just wants to sit back and reap the rewards!"
"No wonder everyone calls him the Clown!"
Instantly.
With their conversation, the name 'Clown' appeared again!
This was the big villain of the movie!
He was actually the mastermind behind these people?!
And on the rooftop, the two who had descended also touched upon this topic.
"Why do they call him the Clown?"
"I heard he wears makeup."
"Makeup?"
"Yeah, to scare people, like the warrior paint on his face!"
Accompanied by the sound of their conversation.
The three in the car finally arrived at their destination.
And just as all the viewers had guessed!
The three of them, wearing clown masks and holding firearms, charged straight into a luxuriously decorated bank!
Rat-tat-tat...
One of the robbers fired a few shots into the air, instantly intimidating everyone in the hall!
"Everyone! Hands up! Heads down!"
"Hurry up! Buddy! I need to withdraw some money!"
Inside the bank.
Everyone was terrified and crouched on the ground, while the robbers carried out their money-grabbing plan in a flurry of activity.
And that clown-masked man opened the backpack he had been carrying.
Inside... were rows of grenades and bombs?!
As the clown-masked man continuously pulled the safety pins from the grenades, he thoughtfully stuffed one into the hands of each hostage.
One by one, the 'hand-held grenades' were prepared.
And the viewers in front of the screen felt a chill down their spines watching this scene.
This Gotham City... felt even more intense than the last one....
And at the same time.
The two on the roof successfully tapped into the bank's alarm system.
"Silent alarm activated."
"Strange, it didn't call the police, but a private number..."
"Will there be a problem?"
"No, it's all taken care of."
The robber in charge of hacking the alarm system muttered, replying to his companion's question from behind.
But he was completely unaware that the companion behind him had already loaded his gun.
Subsequently, after confirming that the technical issues were resolved.
He aimed at his back and fired!
A muffled grunt!
The robber in charge of the programming fell to the ground.
And this scene!
Directly shocked all the viewers in front of the screen!
???
[Holy crap?? What is going on??]
[They haven't even started robbing the money yet and they're already infighting??]
[This... that was too decisive of a kill, right?!]
[At least wait until you get the money before going dog-eat-dog!!]
[Wait, could this be a mole?! What kind of robbers start infighting as soon as the plan begins?]
[Is this... Gotham City.... you can't trust anyone around you....]
[This bank didn't even call the police?]
[A private number... wait! Is Batman about to appear?!]
[Holy crap! Is Su Chen coming to fight crime!]
No one expected that before the bank robbery had officially begun, before they had even seen the money.
This group of robbers seemed to have had an internal conflict?
One robber directly shot and killed another?!
Even though this group of thugs acted so decisively in robbing the bank, without a hint of panic.
They were clearly veteran criminals!
For a moment, countless viewers expressed their confusion.
And after shooting his companion dead.
That robber carried his bag and trotted downstairs as if nothing had happened, continuing with the plan.
Then he arrived in front of the bank vault door and pulled out a drill to start boring holes.
At the same time.
Inside the bank lobby.
"Get down! Get down!!"
"Nobody move!"
A hot-tempered robber shouted loudly.
But he didn't notice behind him.
A bank manager slowly pulled out a gun and aimed it at him.
Bang!
A deafening gunshot!
The robber fell to the ground in response!
And the two remaining robbers in the lobby scrambled to find cover.
The bank manager, who had temporarily gained the initiative with suppressive fire.
Kept firing and reloading frantically to suppress the two, while shouting arrogantly.
"Come on!"
"Do you know whose money you're robbing?!"
"You and your companions are dead!"
The remaining two robbers were forced behind the last table for cover by the firepower of his shotgun!
And at this moment.
Behind the table, the companion counted the gunshots and asked the clown-masked man somewhat uncertainly.
"He should be out of ammo, right?"
What was certain was that the double-barreled shotgun in the bank manager's hand should only have six rounds in a full load!
But he couldn't quite remember how many shots the opponent had fired, so he had to seek help from his companion.
And the clown-masked man thought for a moment.
He nodded repeatedly.
Clearly confirming his companion's guess!
Having received the clown-masked man's firm reply.
The remaining robber felt relieved.
Internal Group 519124243
He immediately stood up to retaliate!
But as soon as he poked his head out, he saw the manager's muzzle turn toward him!
He instinctively ducked his head to avoid it!
Bang!!
Another gunshot!
Fortunately, he dodged in time, otherwise he would have been killed by a single shot.
"What the hell?!"
His companion, having narrowly escaped death, cursed the clown-masked man for being unreliable.
And at this moment!
The double-barreled shotgun in the bank manager's hand was completely empty!
The clown-masked man stood up instantly and pulled the trigger!
A string of bullets knocked him down!
"Did you never learn how to count?!"
On the side, the companion who had nearly lost his life due to the clown-masked man's misleading advice stood up and cursed angrily.
Then he grabbed the bag beside him and headed toward the vault in indignation.
Arriving at the vault door!
The robber who was cracking the vault door saw his companion and couldn't help but complain.
"This vault is wired with 5,000 volts of electricity, what kind of bank does that??"
"This must be a mob bank! The Clown is really a lunatic!"
"What about the guy who disabled the alarm?"
"The boss said to kill him as soon as he's done, that way there's one less person to split the money with...."
The vault-cracking robber said to himself, his hands opening a lock on the vault!
He seemed to have no psychological pressure about killing his accomplice, and spoke of it without any hesitation.
Hearing this.
Countless viewers were speechless...
No wonder the vault-cracking robber killed his companion so decisively...
It turned out that from the moment the boss gave the order, things were already wrong.
Kill one companion and there's one less person to split the money? Is that something that can be said out loud??
And this group of robbers really were all ruthless people.
