Chapter 141 Chapter 141 It’s not the ashes of milk powder
In the end, Jason failed to complete his purpose of whipping the clown... no, to confirm whether the clown was really dead.
Because in the end he only dug out a square urn from the grave, the material of which looked very...economical.
The Joker is probably dead.
"To be on the safe side, we need to open the box and confirm. Back off."
Li Hua pulled the two behind him, raised his eagle-beak staff, and used the physics-based unlocking magic to violently break open the thin wooden box.
"I will strictly eliminate the risk of putting milk powder in urns!"
Benjamin screamed, "Who would put milk powder in an urn?"
Jason thought for a moment and said, "The Joker is really capable of doing such a thing."
Benjamin: "...You guys in Gotham are really full of talented people."
"Let me be clear, I wasn't destroying the Joker's permanent home out of revenge."
Li Hua used the metal hook of the bird-beak staff to pry open the last wooden board of the urn lid, speaking righteously.
"Considering that the Joker is a villain who's adept at using mechanical devices, if he's not dead and has a trick up his sleeve, opening the box with normal means might very well be his prey. I resorted to forceful unpacking purely for safety reasons."
Not to mention a master of demolition like the Joker, as long as there are enough materials and time, Li Hua can now use a simple wooden box to make a trap bomb that will disappear as soon as the lid is opened.
[Quick, No. 666, scan this to see if it's ashes or milk powder?]
No. 666:?
I thought you were joking, but were you serious?
Despite being completely bewildered, 666 still upheld good AI professional ethics and responded using the public microphone after scanning:
"A scan revealed that this powdery substance, held together by moisture, is primarily composed of calcium phosphate and calcium oxide, ruling out milk powder."
Benjamin: "So this is the clown's ashes?"
No. 666: "The ashes do not contain organic matter that can be tested for DNA. Moreover, I do not have the ability to test DNA on humans without the help of external equipment, and I do not have the Joker's DNA data. Therefore, I cannot give a conclusion."
"I think there's a high chance that the Joker is dead," Jason said. "The Joker has been dead for several years. It's impossible for him not to pop up and cause trouble for so many years while Batman is still active."
Li Hua: "Then why couldn't we go back?"
"Is it possible... that the content of our exam this time has nothing to do with clowns?"
Benjamin said.
"Last time, as soon as the magic boy entered the exam room, he was immediately smothered in the face with the exam content and the clown virus... And if you must say, shouldn't the magic boy's exam content be scarecrows? Not only did the clown himself not appear during that exam, but even the clown virus that was caused by the clown only served to play the opening music throughout the entire exam."
...Yes.
Li Hua's exam only brought them information about the clown virus. The body of the clown in the AK world had long been dead, just like the one in this world. Li Hua himself did not confront the clown head-on, but only beat up the AK scarecrow.
Jason stroked his chin. "Now that you mention it... Bruce really only said the purpose of the surprise exam was to hone the magical boys' on-the-spot reaction abilities. He didn't mention that unlucky thing."
Benjamin: "Is that so? And I believe Azmis and the person who set the question won't deliberately make things difficult for us. They must be aware of our confusion. Considering that the moment we landed this time, the intelligence and targets were all pointing directly to that crazy Superman."
Azmis knows best that he is stupid, and in the future Li Hua must also be aware of "Li Hua's" thinking mode. This is probably the reason why they did not set obvious test questions, because they knew that the candidates would complete the test on their own anyway.
"This exam may be urging us to think and discover something on our own. At the beginning, our discoveries and investigations were about 'The Death of the Flash', and then 'What's going on with Superman in this universe'. They all revolve around Superman."
"So... I think we should be more worried about Superman coming back to life and the Superman virus in this universe than the Joker coming back to life and the Joker virus."
"Although I don't like Superman, he's not comparable to the Joker."
Jason said.
"We can certainly rule out the possibility of a local Superman resurrecting, but the Superman virus... that's unscientific. Humans and Kryptonians aren't the same species, so how could they infect each other? What would it take for an infection to give humans Superman's powers? If so, is this truly a virus and not a major evolution of humanity?
"It's just a guess." Benjamin looked at Li Hua. "What do you think? What do you think the examiners want us to think about? What is the thing you want to know most after entering this exam room?"
Li Hua: "If I ignore the Joker virus and just think about the biggest question that's naturally arisen in my mind since taking this exam, it's probably about Superman himself. What has he been through, what's his background, how is he different from our Superman... and so on."
What variables caused the two supermen to make different choices?
After going around in circles, the problem still comes back to Superman.
…
"So we've come back to you, old man from another world. Since we helped you carry such a large item, can you tell us?"
Jason pointed his thumb back at Superman's cold body on the ground and said to the local Batman.
"It's just a little background story anyway. The guy's already dead, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with it, right?"
There's really nothing wrong with this, and Batman actually wants to know the answer to that question too.
So Batman tells the classic Superman story of the last son of Krypton who was sent to Earth by a spaceship, adopted by the kind-hearted Kent couple, and then went to work at the Daily Planet.
It was so classic that Jason began to sweat profusely. "Except for the part where he went crazy, the rest of his life experience is exactly the same as Superman in our world."
The more he listened, the more it sounded like it, to the point that he worried he would have a nightmare in the middle of the night, dreaming that a scene in this world was happening in his own world, happening to his father.
It seems that his magic learning is urgent, and he must have something that can control the madness of this Kryptonian blue guy!
Jason, who was so worried that he was distracted, temporarily forgot that his old Batman had a complete set of anti-Superman armor, and all members of the Bat-family carried Kryptonite with them, and more than one set of Batsuits had Kryptonite powder in the interlayer.
Even if he remembered it, it didn't matter. The Bat Family's motto was that you could never have too many backup plans.
"Then it seems that the Superman in your universe is also a liar."
The local Batman's heart was also alarmed when he heard Jason's answer.
"When you go back, you must remind your father and others, save them from Superman's lies, and get rid of him before Superman hurts everyone."
Jason wanted to say that he actually didn't think the big blue guy in our world was exactly like this Superman, even when he went crazy. But then he thought about what happened to the local Batman and this world...
"……Understood."
Forget it, just agree to it verbally.
Li Hua and Benjamin did not object, but just nodded.
It's like telling someone who was almost bitten to death by a poisonous snake, just had a limb amputated, and is still in shock after escaping death, "Don't be afraid of snakes." This is not only extremely irrational and unrealistic, but also very insympathetic.
"The time jump will begin in fifteen minutes."
It was not known whether the assessment conditions had been met or the examiner could no longer bear it and started it manually, but the watches on Li Hua and the other two finally responded.
"It seems your mission has been completed. Congratulations."
The local Batman took out a box the size of a cell phone packaging box and handed it to Jason.
"Here are my letters to your father, and some other things that might be of help."
Benjamin poked his head over. "Kryptonite? We have plenty of Bruce over there."
"No, it's a virus I secretly developed and designed. I call it the Doomsday virus."
The local Batman had barely finished speaking when he noticed the three children's bodies tremble again.
"What's wrong?"
"Excuse me, Mr. Batman." Li Hua raised his hand and asked, "Does the virus you're talking about have the ability to strengthen the body?"
Batman: "Yes, it would instantly make me strong enough to defeat Superman single-handedly."
Everyone: Is there really a Superman virus?!
"Then why didn't you use it then?" Benjamin asked. "If I hadn't stopped you in time, your right hand would have been broken like Superman in this world right now."
"Because I was too naive." Batman sighed deeply, as if he was going to spit out his heart and lungs. "I know you will definitely not do what I said before. I'm afraid the other me will feel the same... I understand that feeling."
"Because I'm the same way. Until I witness the final moment with my own eyes, there's still a part of me that's screaming for my best friend to live."
Li Hua: "From what you're saying...will this virus make people lose control?"
Otherwise, there would be no contradiction between "saving Superman's life" and "injecting the enhanced virus". Batman would not have failed to think of such a simple thing as injecting the enhanced virus to subdue Superman and then having a good talk.
Batman lowered his eyes: "Yes, the Doomsday virus will destroy the human mind, greatly reducing the IQ of the poisoned person, and turning people into..."
"A-level berserker with both strength and speed?" Li Hua rubbed his hands excitedly as he stepped forward. "Is it a brainwashing or similar mental shock? Does it have a time limit?"
Go away with your fear gas, a better frenzy BUFF than yours has appeared!
Batman: "It's not brainwashing, it completely changes a person physically, and it's irreversible."
Li Hua stepped back. "Ah, that's all right... By the way, Mr. Batman, do you have the detailed instructions for making Scarecrow's fear gas on your computer?"
Go back and see if you can make some fear gas with a unique flavor.
The local Batman thought to himself, "Why would I need that thing?" "No, what do you want the Fear Gas Equation for?"
Jason: "He has a special physique that allows him to use straw gas as a counterattack weapon and adrenaline in emergencies. My old man did give him some fear gas for emergencies, but he believes it's better to teach a man how to fish than to give him a fish. He has always wanted to learn how to produce fear toxin safely and efficiently like Scarecrow."
"But so far he hasn't figured out a way to get the Scarecrow to willingly teach him this unique skill."
Batman: “…”
Batman snatched the box from Jason's hand, quickly removing the lid and taking out a small can of liquid from inside, then re-covered the box and stuffed it back inside.
Anyway, the USB flash drive with the manufacturing method has been put in, so it doesn’t matter if the actual Doomsday virus is not put in.
Otherwise, he was really worried that these three kids might get bumped on the road, or open it out of curiosity to take a look, and turn the "Superman Crisis" into the "Doomsday Crisis".
Then, as if nothing had happened, the local Batman calmly said something similar to what his otherworldly counterpart had said: "Fear gas is poison gas after all. Even if you don't get the fear illusion, it will still cause some damage to your body. Don't abuse it."
Batman had originally thought his counterpart would understand that only when the situation was dire and irreversible would he consider using the Doomsday virus, something that would hurt the enemy and himself, with no way to reverse the situation. But now, he felt the need to add a serious statement:
"Don't use the Doomsday virus on yourself lightly. Not only is it irreversible, it's also highly contagious. Once released, it will spread. At best, an entire city will fall, and at worst, the entire world will fall."
"So don't think of using the Doomsday virus as adrenaline."
Before today, Batman, who had never raised a teenager, would never dream of emphasizing something so outrageous.
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Benjamin: In the future, Li Hua must have set up this level on purpose. Maybe he is just practicing his evil taste to make us anxious... He is really far-sighted.
I completely forgot about it and never thought about the future of this generation. Li Hua: ...
