Chapter 441: Cold Wind Prelude (Part 2)

Soon, the three began to take action. It turned out that the clown was able to gain an advantage in the early stage just because he caught them off guard. Even Bruce did not expect that his old enemy would find this place, so at the beginning, they It was a bit embarrassing being chased by the agents.

But this situation only lasted for a very short period of time. Even if the Joker had a monitoring device like a cheating device, it would still be difficult to resist the cooperation of Bruce, Lex and Clark.

Bruce is both offensive and defensive, Lex is invincible, and Clark is invulnerable. Although they are all youth versions that have not fully grown up, when these three people work together, even if ordinary agents have powerful weapons in their hands, it will be difficult to deal with them.

Soon, the agents chasing them were spun around by the delay in surveillance and communication, and most of them were knocked unconscious.

However, getting rid of the agent tracking is not their primary goal. Now they have a common goal, which is to investigate the underground of the manor.

Bruce wants to deal with the Joker, Clark wants to find the source of radiation that will affect him and possibly Metropolis, and Lex wants to find the treasure and what Schiller left behind from the ground. Although the three people have different goals in detail, , but the big goal remains the same, which is to go underground first.

slkslk.

But if you want to go underground, you must first find the entrance. The entrance must be on the ground floor, which is the first floor.

The structure of the first floor of the entire manor is different from the other floors. There is a banquet hall in the middle. Going to both sides are two gates that can shuttle to the central courtyard. However, there are also other buildings on both sides. Among these buildings There are also other rooms that few people have explored.

The main building of the mayor's residence is very large. It is not a private manor. If the three of them wanted to fully explore this place, it would probably take a whole day if the three of them stayed together, so for the sake of efficiency, the three of them decided to split up. action.

This is also well-founded. The vast majority of the agents have been eliminated by them on other floors. The remaining ordinary agents on the first floor are all performing their duties. They did not receive any special orders to deal with anyone. They just Patrolling their respective posts.

Bruce and Lex both have official identities and can get over once they are hit. Not to mention Clark, he is very fast and even the agents may not be able to see him, so even if they split up, they won't be able to see him. It would be too dangerous.

The only problem is that Bruce and Lex cannot completely trust each other. When making this decision, Bruce first said: "You must promise me that if you find the entrance first, you must notify us instead of going down alone. ”

"Even if I promise, will you believe it? I don't believe you either."

Lex also stared at his face and said that when two extreme skeptics meet together, they do not trust anything the other says or does.

"Please! Is now the time to talk about this?"

"There may be a huge radiation source underground in the largest building in the metropolis! Once it is completely leaked, the entire city will be in danger!" Clark said helplessly.

What the two of them wanted to say, Clark stretched out his hand to stop them, and then said: "Don't forget, that madman is still looking at us. If we start a quarrel here, he will definitely laugh very happily!"

Clark's original intention was just to tell the two of them not to be laughed at by others, and not to hate relatives and hate enemies. However, it has to be said that he has an innate talent in interacting with people. His words It just struck a chord with Bruce.

After knowing that the person might be the Joker, Bruce became more vigilant. He was now a little allergic to the words "crazy" and "laughter" when these two words came out of Clark's hands. , Bruce seemed to hear the crazy laughter ringing in his ears.

He could almost imagine how heartily the clown sitting in the control room would laugh after watching a few people argue. As soon as he thought of this, Bruce felt the corners of his mouth cramp up, and he immediately said:

"We can work together temporarily and start taking action immediately."

After saying that, he turned around and left, as if he didn't want to waste another second. Lex snorted coldly, looked at his leaving figure, and said to Clark in a low tone: "There is an astonishing darkness behind him, even if he No matter how righteous you act, don’t forget that he is from Gotham..."

"Gotham is full of lunatics."

After the words fell, he also left, leaving Clark alone. Clark scratched his head and shrugged, as if he didn't quite understand the hint in Lex's tone.

In fact, he was very uncomfortable with this kind of communication between smart people, and he didn't want to think about the implications behind the words. In the process of communicating with Bruce and Lex, Clark always felt a bit stupid.

After being separated from the two of them, Clark relaxed a little. He chose a different direction from the two of them and walked through the banquet hall, all the way to the east corridor.

Clark thought that the door to the underground should not be in the corridor, but must be hidden in a certain room, so he planned to use the exhaustive method to check room by room.

He pushed open the door of the first room. It was a very ordinary utility room. No one had opened the door for a long time. When he opened the door, a puff of dust came over. Clark waved his hand and walked in. I checked it later and found nothing.

The next few rooms were the same. Clark couldn't help feeling a little lost. Moreover, the dark corridor became quieter and quieter as he walked further in. Only the window at the end emitted cold light.

In an extremely quiet atmosphere, people will involuntarily slow down their thinking speed and strengthen their senses. Just when Clark also had such a change, suddenly, a piercing phone ring sounded from a room in front.

Clark frowned and walked over. After pushing open the door, it was an empty guest room. At this time, the phone on the telephone table was ringing non-stop. Clark picked up the phone and said to the other end: "Hello..."

"Hello, hello."

After the other side finished speaking, there was silence for a while. Clark asked in confusion: "Hello, who are you? What are you calling for?"

"Are you Clark?"

"Uh, I am, what's wrong?"

"Do you know Lex?"

"Who are you?" Clark asked with some vigilance.

"I am a resident living on the 5th floor, and I am also invited to attend this banquet. Listen, Clark..." The voice on the other side was a little low.

"But at the same time, I am also an undercover CIA agent. I have encountered some troubles and hope you can help me." Clark frowned when he heard the word agent. He just refused when the other party said, "I know that you may have friction with other agents, but we are not in the same group." "I came to Metropolis a long time ago and lurked there. The purpose is to investigate the abnormality of the Luther Group. We suspect that the serial murders that occurred in Metropolis some time ago may be related to the people of the Luther Group." "Before. Our investigation did not make any progress. Since Lionel Luther is the organizer of this banquet, I came here to track down more clues." "After a night of investigation, we have grasped the clues of the murderer. He is most likely Lex Luther, the son of Lionel Luther." "Usually, he appears as an autistic patient to reduce other people's vigilance against him. In fact, he does not suffer from autism. On the contrary, he is a high-IQ criminal. The criminal is an evil genius. "

Just as Clark was about to open his mouth to refute, the person on the other side continued to speak quickly: "I know you don't believe it, but we have evidence. If you go to the bathroom in the reception room now, you can see the body of Lionel Luther."

"He was killed by his son, and Lex also dismembered his father himself."

"Now, I hope you can go to that bathroom and take away some of Lionel's tissue fragments as evidence to be used to accuse Lex of murder in the future."

"How is this possible?" Clark said in an extremely unbelieving tone: "Why did he kill his father? And dismembered him? He is not that kind of person."

Clark really didn't believe it. In his brief contact with Lex, he felt that although this person was very conceited, he was also worthy of the name. Clark grew up in a small town and had no knowledge of serial murders. In his impression, serial murderers were all perverts with flesh on their faces and fangs.

But Lex is thin and has a childish face. He looks just like a child. His words and actions are basically in line with normal people's logic. He doesn't show any evil or madness. Clark doesn't think he is a serial killer.

Not to mention, the person on the phone actually said that Lex killed his biological father and dismembered him. How could a high school student do such a cruel thing?

"Clark, you have to know that the reason why many murderers are not easy to be arrested is because they have very confusing disguises, and I do this job."

"I said, if you don't believe it, you can go to the scene to see. If the situation is really different from what I said, you don't have to help me, and I can't force you."

The man's tone was very sincere. He said: "When you were fighting with the agent, I heard what you said in the room. You are a hero who is willing to speak for ordinary people. Therefore, I used my limited time to contact you."

"I have found your information. I know that you are just a college student. You have no obligation and responsibility to do such a dangerous job, but Clark... I ask you to help me."

"Of course, if you really think it's too dangerous, you can choose not to go. I won't force a child to go to the battlefield..."

"As far as I know, Lex is not a single person. He must have accomplices. They are likely to find me soon. I don't have much time... Goodbye, Clark."

After hanging up the phone, Clark's face showed a tangled expression.

He and Lex had only known each other for a short time, and he knew this himself, so he couldn't be sure whether Lex had deceived him with his good acting skills.

The tone of the man opposite was normal, and what he said made sense. Clark couldn't help but hesitate. He was thinking, if Lex was really a liar, then if he was allowed to move around in the manor, would more ordinary people be in danger?

He hesitated for a while, and finally decided to go upstairs. Clark thought that it would be okay to take a look as the man said. Even if there was a trap waiting for him there, he should be able to get rid of it.

Thinking so, he went up the stairs and crossed the corridor to the reception room. The reception room was still in a mess. The cold wind blew into the room from the broken window. In the cold wind, Clark walked to the door of the bathroom, turned the doorknob, and opened the door.

The first thing that was captured by his keen senses was the strong and disgusting smell of blood. Then, a corpse with a chopped arm came into view, and there was a saw thrown on the ground next to it.

Just when Clark covered his mouth and wanted to vomit, he heard footsteps outside the reception room door.

He turned around and saw Lex coming in... and the blood on his trouser legs.
