American comics: I became a god at the beginning, I chose to practice both science and magic

And now Harold actually betrayed him. Although he was used to betrayal, Batman would probably still feel uncomfortable this time.

In a place like Gotham, human nature cannot withstand any test.

On the other side of Gotham City, Batman has arrived at the clock tower, where he sees Deathstroke in a yellow and black uniform.

"Look who this is? Batman."

Deathstroke said this on purpose, of course he knew that Bruce Wayne was Batman.

But Deathstroke is not interested in anything except money.

In the past, many people in Gotham were willing to pay him to kill Batman, and Deathstroke almost succeeded several times.

But when he realized that the man behind Batman's mask was Bruce Wayne, he gave up the mission.

Because killing Batman and killing Bruce Wayne have two different prices!

Deathstroke felt that he had been fooled, so he decisively gave up the mission.

But this also caused him to have a feud with Batman.

"You spent so much money to invite me here, you don't mean to accompany me to see the scenery here?"

Batman spoke calmly, "Did you do what happened to Nightwing?"

He asked Nightwing, and just like when he was chasing Catwoman, Nightwing also fell from a tall building under the attack.

But his battle suit was still the old style, so his skull was shattered in a very tragic way.

Even when he tried to get up, he was besieged by gangsters who had been lying in ambush around the place where he fell.

If Red Hood hadn't arrived in time, Dick would have been dead!

Deathstroke did not deny what he had done, he openly admitted:

"Someone spent 1000 million just to let me cut his rope, why shouldn't I make money?"

Batman clenched his fists. 1000 million, that was exactly the amount of the ransom.

So his intuition was correct, all of this was planned by the same person. What was his purpose?

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the scene where Poison Ivy controlled Superman.

In fact, this is one of the many plans he has for Superman.

In other words, Silence most likely got his inspiration from his computer.

"Do you have any other clues about that employer?"

Deathstroke sneered:

"You know, I only take money and never care who the employer is."

"I'm a mercenary, not a detective."

"However, for the sake of 2000 million, I will tell you one more piece of news."

"I know Clayface works for him, too."

After saying this, Deathstroke had no interest in staying here any longer and turned and left.

Batman secretly took note of this information and then returned to Wayne Manor with Catwoman.

When he wanted to find Harold to ask about the Batcomputer, he found that he was missing.

Batman realized that he might have been betrayed.

Hush once again stepped in front of Batman.

At this moment, Nightwing, whose health had been improving, suddenly took a turn for the worse and his condition began to worsen.

"Bruce, Dick's in terrible shape! He says his headache is splitting!"

Barbara anxiously found him.

Bruce immediately called Thomas and expressed his wish to have Dick transferred to the hospital again.

But Thomas sternly warned:

"His injury is on his brain. If you move him at will at this moment, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Bruce checked Nightwing using the technology in the Batcave and had to admit that Thomas was right.

"You're right Tommy, could you please...come to the manor?"

Bruce finally agreed to let Thomas enter the manor in desperation.

Thomas acted quickly as well. He brought a medical team and arrived at Wayne Manor within ten minutes.

"I knew you were going to mess this up, Bruce."

Thomas's "I knew it" expression left Bruce speechless.

After another six hours of surgery, Dick was out of danger again.

But Thomas, who was performing the operation seriously, didn't know that two people were watching his every move through the surveillance camera in the manor.

One was Batman, but he didn't see anything suspicious.

One is Dane, who used the system backdoor to hijack the surveillance footage of Wayne Manor. He is now certain that Silence is Thomas.

Because on the other side, in Gotham General Hospital, there was another Dr. Thomas meeting with Harold.

This is another villain used by Hush, Clayface.

"What are you hiding here? Silence."

Dane whispered to himself and decided to go check out Thomas's base.

Then, he used the magic of "astral projection" to sneak into the hospital in the form of a spirit.

Beneath the spot where Clayface and Harold met, there was a huge basement.

He discovered an isolation room in this basement, and inside it was the long-missing Harleen Quinzel.

Harlin couldn't see through Dai En's magical invisibility, but she was still keenly aware of something.

"Who! Who's there?"

Dane watched with interest as she performed alone; at least she didn't seem to be in any pain.

But Dane looked around the basement.

This is obviously a laboratory, filled with chemical reagents and biological tissue research instruments.

There is also a central computer here that is not connected to the Internet.

What does this mean?

This shows that Thomas had been preparing in Gotham for a long time, and he didn't decide to come back just because he heard Bruce's request.

Chapter 056 Madness is like a disease

When Dane turned on the computer and checked Thomas' research records.

Harlin in the isolation room also saw it.

The door where she was imprisoned was made of a transparent special riot-proof glass, through which she could see everything outside clearly.

She saw that in the empty hall, the computer suddenly lit up automatically, and she could faintly hear the sound of typing on the keyboard.

Under the dim light, this classic horror movie scene did not frighten Harlin, but made her excited instead.

"I knew it, I knew there was someone here!"

"Who are you? Can I see your face?"

Dane didn't respond to Harlin behind him. He found something interesting in Thomas's research log.

Originally, Dane thought that he had completely eliminated the Joker's relics, including his tissue cells and all his blood.

But now it seems that is not all.

Record in the log.

Thomas Elliot had served as a brain surgeon at Arkham Asylum a long time ago.

He has studied the brains of every psychopath ever, including the Joker.

The clown is his old customer, and Thomas is also very interested in the clown's spiritual world.

As a professional brain surgeon, he could not refuse the diversity and complexity of the Joker's brain.

So, he made the mistake that every intelligent person working at Arkham Asylum would make.

He made a suicidal attempt to study the Joker's brain.

It has been said before that anyone who can hold an important position in Arkham Asylum is likely to have some problems, and Thomas is no exception.

His curiosity about the clown's brain led him to draw his blood and cerebral medullary fluid, in violation of prohibitions.

Thomas recorded this passage in his journal:

[When I used tools to pry open his skull and extract his medulla, he suddenly woke up.

But this was impossible, because I had calculated the dosage of anesthetic to allow him to sleep peacefully for a whole day.

I didn't know what the problem was, and I was even a little panicked. I knew this was a bit inappropriate.

But I was still shocked by this patient named "Joke.r".

Because he didn't yell, question or accuse me...

He was laughing wildly.

Can you understand? He's actually laughing!

I suspect I made a fatal mistake...]

What follows is Thomas calmly describing the results of his tests on the clown sample, which showed that everything was normal.

How ridiculous! The results showed that he was actually fine!

Dane frowned as he looked at the series of "hahahaha"s following this diary entry, as if he was mocking someone.

Thomas, probably infected with the Joker virus.

People infected with the Joker virus will develop a clown personality in their hearts, and this personality will gradually become closer to the real clown.

Thomas obviously also discovered this fact, but he didn't want to accept it.

He continued reading and soon found content related to Harlin.

[I found a female student at Gotham University, her name is Harleen Quinzel.

She is very talented, especially in criminal psychology.

I hope she can help me...help me get rid of that damn "clown"! 】

Here, Thomas realizes that he is becoming increasingly influenced by the Joker's personality and tries to save himself.

He tried various methods and even found people in Gotham to conduct human experiments.

There's so much trash in Crime Alley anyway, no one would care if one or two were missing.

For the wealthy Elliot family, solving these troubles is just a piece of cake.

Seeing the Joker virus infection becoming more and more widespread, Thomas also accelerated his research.

But his medical skills were completely ineffective in treating the Joker virus.

As a last resort, Thomas hopes to seek psychological treatment.

He began to think that the Joker virus might be a psychological mutation, and perhaps psychology could give him some new ideas.

He also targeted Harleen Quinzel because of this.

At that time, his interest in Harlin was limited to her research on criminal psychology.

But after Dane killed the real Joker in Arkham Asylum, Thomas felt the Joker's personality suddenly come alive.

In the past, the Joker personality did not fight for control of this body, so Thomas did not show any abnormality.

But since the death of the real Joker, Thomas's Joker personality has suddenly and actively fought for control of his body.

Thomas was even nearly discovered to be abnormal by outsiders several times because of this.
