Let's play a game

"Hey, Bruce Wayne, can you hear me?"

Then, the sound of tapping the microphone came from the loudspeaker.

Puff puff!!

Batman turned his gaze to the loudspeaker, which was also the direction of the surveillance camera.

Soon, a different voice came from inside: "Boss, he should have heard, look he is looking at us."

"Oh, I see." The first voice cleared his throat and continued, "Bruce Wayne, the next sentence is very important."

"Please listen carefully."

As soon as Batman heard it, he knew it was Graves' voice, and he couldn't help but wonder, he is here, where is the Joker?

But Bruce didn't ask, because he wanted to know what Graves wanted to do after spending so much time getting him.

"Hello, Batman! You should be able to hear my voice."

"Today, I want to play a game."

"I wonder if you, the guardian of Gotham, have tried the taste of being guarded by others."

"The four screens in front of you represent one of your friends or enemies."

"Their choice will determine your next path."

"Be protected or die, the choice is in their hands."

"Now... the game begins!"

The voice fell, the speakers fell into complete silence, and the screens on all four sides of Bruce's body lit up in turn.

First, on the first screen, the figure of Harvey Dent appeared. He was lying in a square space. There was a pool full of water in his left and right hands, but the water was a little turbid, so Bruce couldn't tell whether it was water or something else for a while.

In the second screen, deeply asleep Rachel was wearing a surgical gown and was tightly tied to a hospital bed, and there was a tray full of surgical tools on the bedside table.

On the third screen, in a clean and bright room, Joker covered in bandages was curiously observing a huge metal ball. He is also the only one who is sober and can move freely among the three.

And on the entire wall behind this lunatic, there is the reactor opening code written in dazzling red paint.

Seeing the first two screens, Batman remained calm, because judging from their slightly undulating chests, he could tell that they were still alive. Since they are alive, there is hope for rescue.

But it is unacceptable for him to put the most dangerous person and the most dangerous things together, and to write the opening password on the wall.

It was too late for him to think about why the Joker, who was his accomplice, was also imprisoned. Because once the reactor explodes, the entire Gotham will be razed to the ground.

So Bruce immediately shouted at the overhead camera: "Graves, do you know what the consequences will be if you do this?"

He knew graves could see. But there was no sound coming from the speaker for a long time, instead the fourth screen lit up. this time it was Lucius, who was hanging from the ceiling in his favorite silver-gray suit.

When he saw this picture, the eyes under Bruce's mask instantly turned red, and his expression became painful and distorted.

He immediately rushed to the closed gate, frantically hammering the alloy above, but it was useless except for a huge dull thud sound nothing happened.

But immediately, the fourth screen was turned off, and the conversation between graves and Roman came from the speaker.

"Didn't you say he's still alive?"

"Hey, hey... Boss, don't fight. Can you blame me? You threw the rope in, and you said you wanted him to be in pain."

"If you dare to talk back, I will beat you. Besides, who knows that he will commit suicide."

With his back against the gate, Bruce, who was slumped on the ground, heard the conversation between the two and couldn't help roaring: "bastard! Do you know that he is a Christian!"

As a result, graves asked from the loudspeaker, "What happened to the Christians?"

Roman seemed to be taking care of Batman's emotions and deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Christians can't commit suicide, suicide will go to hell."

Lu Wu was shocked when he heard it: "What? Go to hell?"

"I haven't gone to hell yet, why should he go first!"

"No, I don't care. You have to find a way to save him, you can't let him go to hell before me."

"Uh..." Roman didn't know how to evaluate his boss for a while.

Bruce, who didn't want to listen to the conversation between the two, was already extremely angry, his tired brain was spinning rapidly, looking for a way to break the game.

At this moment, the first screen caught his eye, and Harvey finally woke up.

The prosecutor lying on the ground, like a drowning man, took a sharp breath, and then suddenly sat up as if frightened. Then he touched his dizzy head and murmured, "Where am I?"

But before he could figure out the situation, he start coughing. It turned out that the whole room was filled with an indescribable pungent odor. It was a very choking odor, which made one couldn't help squinting and covering his mouth and nose.

This strong smell completely woke Harvey from his groggy state. At this time, not far in front of him, outside the camera that Batman couldn't see, there was a radio that started playing the pre-recorded audio.

"Harvey Dant, the bright knight of Gotham City, the future star."

"Let's play a game."

"You once swore to save the people of Gotham, but in the end, you broke your promise."

"Now, you have a chance again, whether to save your lover or save your friend."

"On your left and right sides are two pools filled with strong acid. There are two corrosion-resistant keys at the bottom of the pools."

"For a small price, you can save someone, Rachel or Batman."

"Of course, you can also do nothing."

"Have you seen the clock on the wall? When the time goes to zero, the door of the room will open automatically, and then you can go home safely."

"I hope you can move faster to prevent others from making choices faster than you."

Harvey, who hadn't figured out the situation yet, subconsciously looked up at the tiled wall, and there was indeed a digital clock hanging on it.

According to the digital display, there are still 29 minutes and 42 seconds before the time returns to zero.

Harvey, who probably understood his situation, immediately got up from the ground and carefully observed his surroundings. After confirming that he could not get out, he began to think about the words on the radio just now. As for whether those words were true, he didn't dare to gamble.

he can only believe it to be true. Now, in the middle of the two strong acid pools with the names of Batman and Rachel written respectively, there is something like a podium, with two keyholes of the same size on the table.

The names of two people are also written under the keyhole to prevent him from choosing the wrong one.

In other words, if you get two keys at the same time, you can save two people.

But this strong acid...

Harvey couldn't help but turn his eyes to the pool with turbid water at his feet.

Batman couldn't hear Harvey's voice, and could only guess what he was doing through the screen.

But he only saw Harvey, standing still, as if he was thinking about some kind of problem. At this point, there are still 21 minutes before the time resets to zero.
