American comics: What kind of evil intentions could Batman have?

Chapter 141 The Great Clay Face Scam

Chapter 141 The Great Clay Face Scam

When Superman arrived at the Bat base, he seemed somewhat panicked.

"Batman, I've been looking for Louis for half an hour, but..."

Superman paused, because he saw three identical Loisss figures crouching in the Batcave. As soon as he barged in, they all turned to look at him.

Superman: !

He mechanically turned his head and saw another "road" freak with Louis's head and face but a man's body, carrying a plate of sandwiches and speaking in Louis's pleasant female voice: "Would you like something, Mr. Superman?"

"Alfred?"

Superman asked in a low voice.

"It's me." Then he heard the man at the head of the road say, "Oh, I'm sorry to appear before you in this form."

Then he saw the other person put the plate aside, rub his face for a while, and when he put his hand down, Clark was horrified to see that the other person's face had turned into his own.

"What the hell?!"

"What?"

The man with Clark's head looked at the other person with a puzzled expression, then he took out a small mirror from his chest, looked at his face, and turned to the other three "Louis" standing there, saying:

"Young Master Mudface, didn't you agree that you'd return to normal after rubbing your face?"

"Oh, sorry, Alfred," Clark then saw one of the three Louises reply.

He snapped his fingers, and "Alfred" rubbed his face. Soon, a lot of brownish-yellow dirt was rubbed off his cheeks. This dirt seemed to have a life of its own, climbing and jumping on the ground, crawling back into Louis's body, and disappearing as if it had mixed into a larger lump of dirt.

"Oh, muddy, huh?" Clark scratched his head.

"What kind of experiment are you conducting—" But he immediately interrupted himself, saying:

"Never mind that for now, listen to me, something terrible has happened! Louis has been captured by the villains..."

He flew hurriedly down the corridor, landing in front of the three Louises, then looked a little dizzy: "Which of you is Batman?"

One of the three Louises, feeling a surge of sweetness, couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Clark's dazed expression.

Superman could have seen it with his X-ray vision, but he's acting like a complete idiot and hasn't remembered it yet.

"Pfft!"

Superman turned his head and saw Alfred throw the tray down, laugh out loud, then wipe his face with his hands and rub them down his body.

More brownish-yellow dirt fell from his body, and "Alfred" transformed into Batman right in front of Superman.

The large lump of mud transformed into a mud-faced head, from which segmented limbs made of mud sprouted from its neck. These limbs then climbed onto Batman's palm, where they danced and sang joyfully, cheering loudly.

"Great! Well done! Wonderful! Absolutely fantastic!"

Superman promptly activated his X-ray vision.

The next second, he appeared next to one of the three Louises: "Louis! I'm so glad you're alright!"

Chen Tao walked over from the corridor: "We've been discussing how to deal with the current situation. We finally concluded that perhaps disrupting the villains' sense of security is the most effective method."

As Chen Tao walked, he smeared the muddy face onto his head.

In the blink of an eye, his head turned into a trash can.

A real trash can, green, even with some stains on it, with yellow handrails.

"I had previously just let Mudface possess those metal robot skeletons, which was too unimaginative."

Clark heard him say, "We can definitely use it in many more ways. You see, it's covering my face, but that doesn't stop it from becoming something else, like a basketball."

Chen Tao wiped his face, and the trash can turned into a basketball. A living person with a basketball-shaped head walked back and forth in the corridor, accidentally bumping into the wall with a thud.

"Not having eyes is indeed a problem, but if the things that emerge from the mud have—"

Chen Tao patted the basketball, and then a rooster grew out of it.

"His eyes, oh—he can use them normally now."

"It can turn into almost anything, anyone..."

Chen Tao wiped his face again: "Volleyballs, soccer balls, toy cars, even mahjong tiles..."

"Everyone you've ever met..."

As he rubbed his face, his head kept transforming into different things, finally settling on a giant mahjong tile.

There are two large characters above:

Red Center!

"The only downside is that the thing you conjure up must be bigger than your head, otherwise your face will leak out."

Chen Tao peeled the mud off his face and said with some regret.

"Seriously, Batman, I'm still completely baffled. What are you trying to do?" Superman felt his head buzzing and hugged his Louis tightly in fright.

—After secretly scanning twice with X-ray vision.

Yes, that's right. It's his Louis, not Mudface.

What am I here for?

Oh, by the way, I came to find Louis, but Louis has already been found.

Clark suddenly realized that Batman was the one who kidnapped Louise.

"Lucius invented a device based on the Mad Hatter's technique that can weave memories. Do you realize that when we combine the two, a near-perfect fake man is born! You cut him, and Muddy can pretend to bleed; you use your psychic abilities to peer into his memories, and you only see fakes."

"Unless you pour water on it or take a blood sample, it's almost impossible to see through the mud's disguise."

"So you understand now?"

Clark was still a little dazed: "What do you know?"

He felt he should condemn the other party's behavior of kidnapping his own family and friends before the villains could act, but he didn't know how to bring it up.

Chen Tao explained to him for a while the betting odds that Bain had planned.

The other two "Louis" also reverted to their original forms: Mudface and Red Hood.

Then Chen Tao pressed a button on the big screen, and Clark recognized it immediately—it was Louis's house.

Do do do!

There was a knock on the door on the screen.

"Oh, what a coincidence, Clark, another newcomer has arrived."

On the screen, Louis put down his apron and opened the door. Several men in black rushed in, sprayed a large cloud of mist directly onto Louis's face without saying a word, and then quickly stuffed it into a black sack and carried it away.

"This is the third Mudface Louis to be arrested today." Clark stared blankly at the people on the screen.

"They...they are..."

"The first person to want to capture Louis was Bane. He learned his lesson from Mudface before, so he's not easy to fool. He'll definitely test him with water when he inspects the goods," Chen Tao said. "So I sent him the real one, and then switched it with the real one."

He continued, "The second one is probably Luther. That guy was up to something again, and then he grabbed a mud mask and took it back."

"The third person looks like Amanda; I guess this is a protective detention."

Chen Tao said, "Seriously, Clark, you can't keep letting only Louis take your pictures. It's too conspicuous."

"I was wrong," Superman admitted. "I did pose a threat to Louis, and I'm sorry. It won't happen again." He said this as he turned to Louis.

Louis returned the kiss with a kiss: "Your photo got me a promotion and a raise, and I'd be happy to keep it all to myself if I could. This is the danger that comes with my choice, and you don't need to feel guilty about it."

"In short, this kind of despicable behavior of arresting superheroes' friends and family members must be curbed, so this time I'm going to go all out."

Chen Tao said, "The key is to destroy the villains' sense of trust in everything they see."

He pulled Superman to the side of the screen: "Bane will definitely guess that we're going to switch identities, so I'm going to play a little trick."

As soon as Chen Tao reached out, the mud face jumped onto his arm and quickly covered his upper body, instantly transforming Batman into Superman.

"First of all, on the surface, I am Superman."

Then Chen Tao grabbed the curly hair on his head. With a sharp tug, he ripped off a layer of mud like a hood, transforming himself into Batman: "Actually, I am Batman."

Then he ripped off another layer and became Superman, and then he ripped off another layer and became Batman.

"Then, when he was about to use Louis, the Louis he had repeatedly checked, was definitely not the mud-faced one..."

Chen Tao clicked his tongue.

"Essentially, it's about destroying his sense of trust. If you do this a couple of times, Bain won't be able to believe what he's seeing."

He said, "Mudface is a boy who cried wolf. We've been too unimaginative about him."

"Imagine, from today onwards, the villains walk into a convenience store to buy a cup of coffee, but end up buying a cup of poison, writhing on the floor in agony, yelling about their stomachs, and then the clerk suddenly smears his hand on his face and tells him he has a mud face..."

"The villains found a beautiful girl, spent a lot of money on her, and finally got together with her. Then, their favorite beauty suddenly turned into a mud-covered mess..."

"He made plans to rob someone, but when he arrived, he found a superhero waiting for him. The villain was about to fight to the death when he turned to look at his teammate, and suddenly, the villain's face turned to mud..."

"Yay!" Mud Face exclaimed, almost reaching orgasm.

He himself is a severe performer, which is strictly speaking a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder and a very serious mental illness. He derives pleasure from impersonating others and enjoys it immensely.

Every time he impersonates someone else, the relatives and friends of the person he impersonates completely believe him to be that person because of his superb acting skills, and he secretly enjoys the thrill of being on top of the world.

To increase the difficulty for himself, he would often do things that the original owner would never have done, and then use his acting skills to make his relatives and friends believe that it was really the original owner who did it, which excited him even more.

For example, when he played Robin, he performed all sorts of actions in the city that were impossible for Robin's physical abilities, and then, as Robin, he would say things like, "Lifting a car is a piece of cake, that's a bit of an exaggeration, it's more like a medium-sized thing!" and then use his acting skills to make everyone believe the fact that "every generation of Robin can lift a small car, it's no big deal".

It wasn't that no one raised questions during this time, but he managed to fool them all with his superb acting skills.

After a long period of practice, the people of the metropolis now consider Robin's ability to lift cars to be a very common and obvious fact.

All of this is recognition of his acting skills, which has given him a great sense of accomplishment!

But this time, Batman taught him that it could be this fun.

He suddenly realized that the real recognition of his acting skills was not the time he had deceived others, but the incredulous expression on their faces when he revealed his true identity.

This is the ultimate recognition of his acting skills!

The immense sense of accomplishment he felt from successfully deceiving Clark almost overwhelmed him, let alone the others.

"Red Hood gave my Kryptonite-powered armored robot to Black, and I secretly replaced the Kryptonite in the heart of that thing with an iron ball coated with fluorescent powder."

Chen Tao said, "You don't need to worry at all."

He pointed at Red Hood: "Red Hood is one of our men. He'll make sure all the weapons designed to target you have backdoors."

……

……

……

People are always so strange.

Bain, this person.

As Batman's most dangerous enemy besides the Joker, he can manipulate everyone, not just villains.

In terms of both intelligence and strength, he is fully capable of becoming a Justice League-level threat, just like Wanda Savage, Lex Luthor, the Joker, Black Manta, Grodd the gorilla, Sinestro, and so on.

But he always confines his behavior to the same pattern as Captain Cold, the Flash’s strongest villain besides Gorilla Groud, and forever stays in one city.

"To be honest, Bane, I admire you. You've demonstrated remarkable abilities, qualities some would even call genius... You've single-handedly made your name synonymous with weaponry."

Bain quietly heard Luther's voice enter his ears:

"The interesting thing is, all you want is this... Gotham?"

"Why is that all?"

Why be satisfied with this?

"Why should we reach a contract in the first place?"

what……

Perhaps some people can guess.

Although Bane has the ability to triumph anywhere on Earth and defeat any opponent he can find...

But... what is it that he has never defeated?

Who caused him such a profound and unforgettable failure?

Bain opened his eyes.

"You can get my help to carry out your plans, Luther."

Bain lowered his head.

"And Batman is mine."

"I know, I know, you're going to break his back."

"Luther said."

"There's still nothing new."
