Chapter 34 Even if a Cat Has Nine Lives, It Can’t Stand Your Mischief!
Chapter 34 34. Even if a cat has nine lives, it can't stand your mischief!
Mason found the zombie dog Yaya, who was napping in a sea of blood and corpses in the deep passage of the main prison area of Blackgate Prison. The latter completed its task perfectly.
A total of 35 people in the Assassin League's black warrior team were distributed very "evenly" in the entire passage.
The luckiest few of them only lost a hand or a leg before death came, and they were still wandering aimlessly in the passage.
And those who were completely torn apart naturally couldn't turn into zombies to scare people everywhere.
After completing such a brilliant record, the zombie dog certainly couldn't be unscathed. In fact, even with the blessing of the resurrection stone fragments, Yaya's black skin was still covered with wounds that had not yet healed.
The most fatal scar extended from the abdomen to the heart, almost blowing its huge body apart.
"The combat power of the elite warriors of the Assassin's League should not be underestimated. If they had not encountered the real 'undead beast', they would have been very likely to turn defeat into victory.
This is without the leadership of a commander like Bane or Deathstroke."
Mason, wrapped in the invisibility cloak, carefully observed the state of Yaya. He came to a conclusion in his mind that the zombie dogs and zombie cats could only bully ordinary soldiers. If they really met a super villain with strong force, they would probably not be able to withstand it.
"Good dog, come here!"
Mason no longer thought about the future.
He took out the voodoo bird cage from his arms in a dead corner that the camera could not see, took off the invisibility cloak and whistled at Yaya who was lying there.
Zombie dogs and zombies were alarmed at the same time, but Yaya was obviously faster. The 1.5-meter-tall zombie beast roared and climbed up, limping towards Mason.
There was no emotion in the scarlet eyes, only cruelty. The moment he pounced, Mason activated the voodoo bird cage with ease and locked it in, just like a magic trick.
"The second weakness of the zombie dogs is that they have no brains. Miss Mag seems to be smarter than the other two in this regard."
The young man stood up and glanced at the zombies swaying in front of him, pouted and prepared to leave, but when he put on the invisibility cloak, he suddenly noticed that the Hell Eye collar pin on his collar was emitting a faint light.
This made Mason stunned, and then frowned.
The collar pin given by Zha Kang had predicted a danger for him before, but the description of this thing also has the ability to detect hidden lives. There are few living people in the entire Blackgate Prison now.
Especially in the place where Fang Ya raged violently.
So, there are people hiding nearby?
Mason immediately became alert.
What he feared most now was that someone from the Bat Family was hiding nearby and saw the process of him recovering the zombie dogs, which meant that his whereabouts were at risk of being exposed.
Although he could guarantee that he had not hurt a good person tonight and destroyed the Penguin Gang and severely damaged the Assassin's League's power in this city, it was estimated that Batman would not listen to his explanation.
He calmly put on his invisibility cloak and disappeared from the spot, and then said to the Kite Man through the headset:
"The plan has changed, Charles, don't worry about me, just go and meet up with the Bat Family, I will work with Director Gordon to find a way to kill them."
"Got it, Boss. I'll destroy this headset."
The Kite Man responded, and then Mason heard a busy tone in his ears. He took off the headset and threw it into the suitcase, then began to look around in a hidden state.
In the corner of the second floor of the main prison area about 100 meters away from where Mason disappeared, Catwoman was covering her mouth and trying to shrink herself into the corner next to her.
Just now, she clearly saw that the terrifying zombie monster was collected by Mason with a strange thing.
Although the zombie disaster had already broken out when she arrived at Blackgate Prison, she probably guessed everything that happened here through the short visual just now.
The image of Mason Cooper, a shy young man who was always silent but had a strong personality, collapsed in her mind, replaced by a dark villain with a gloomy mind and thinking about dark things.
She even felt that Mason might be more dangerous than Penguin or the Assassin's League.
Those guys had to go into battle in person to harm people, but Mason had a dangerous power different from ordinary villains.
"I must tell Bruce about this!"
This was the first thought that came to Catwoman's mind.
As Batman's lover, she knew very well that Batman had an abnormal attention to Mason Cooper, perhaps because Mason's style and personality were very similar to the dead Jason Todd.
In order to find the missing Mason, Batman even broke his own rule of being alone and invited other superheroes to help find him.
Catwoman didn't think it was a big deal five minutes ago.
After all, her boyfriend did have an indescribable strange "adoption fetish" because of his childhood tragedy.
But now she doesn't think so.
It turns out that Mason Cooper is much more dangerous than Jason Todd!
The latter is just irritable and rebellious, while the former... well, it's hard to say. In short, she must stop Bruce Wayne from getting closer to Mason Cooper.
But on the other hand, Catwoman is very entangled.
She always feels that Mason, the young man, is not a bad person. This is not due to the lady's emotional thinking, but the conclusion she came to after several contacts with Mason.
After living in Gotham for so many years, Catwoman still has some confidence in her vision, and if you include the time at Dr. Leslie's clinic, Mason has saved her twice.
Repaying kindness with hatred is not her code of conduct.
This was also the reason why Selina did not report what she saw to the Bat communication network immediately. She hid in place and thought for more than ten seconds before finally making up her mind.
Batman will be back in Gotham soon anyway.
Maybe that man would be rushing to Blackgate Prison right now, so I'd better tell Bruce about it alone first, and then see what he decides.
But before that, he must avoid any further contact with Mason Cooper, who currently seems to be both good and evil.
"Snapped"
Just when Catwoman made up her mind to sneak out of Black Gate Prison first, a hand pressed on her shoulder without warning, which made Ms. Selina tense up and wanted to fight back.
Then, she heard a voice behind her.
"Didn't I tell you not to come over? It's true that he is a cat who never behaves well."
Mason's voice was full of helplessness and distress as he said:
"Have you seen everything?"
Catwoman sensed no hostility from the young man.
She slapped Mason's claw away, took a few steps back and stared at him warily, as if she were looking at a monster in the skin of a 17-year-old young man.
"Aren't you going to explain?"
She grabbed the cat's tail whip in her hand and held the hilt of Sujie's Eagle with her other hand. But then she remembered that this sword was lent to her by Mason, and she immediately let go of her fingers and stopped touching it.
It was as if this sword was also contaminated with a dangerous zombie virus.
"There's nothing to explain. It's hard to explain in just one or two sentences."
The young man did not hold a gun but held the Penguin's armed umbrella. He stood there wearing a blood-stained silver-gray invisibility cloak and said to Ms. Selina:
"Can you promise not to tell Batman what you saw? I still have to live in Gotham, and being regarded as a dangerous person by him will definitely make it difficult for me to live here."
"Of course I can, we're in this together, Mason."
Catwoman immediately replied, but both sides fell silent at the same time.
Two seconds later, Mason said:
"You are lying! You will not betray your lover again for a boy you have met no more than five times. Selena, you love him deeply, and you will not allow another dangerous person to get close to him.
Batman is on his way here, so I have to give you a hard time first.
I have to ask you to go to a safe place to rest for a few days until we can work out a perfect solution.
Take it easy.
I won't hurt you.
No matter what you think, I think we are friends. "
"What if I say no?"
The cat tail whip in Catwoman's hand hung on the ground. She leaned down like a black cat about to pounce. Her eyes under the ruby goggles narrowed and she asked sarcastically:
"Would you send your monsters to eat me? Just like you sent them to turn this prison into a hell."
"Blackgate Prison was originally a hell that harbored filth and evil. Selina, I just restored it to what it should be. My only regret about what happened here tonight is that it came a little late."
Mason slowly raised the penguin umbrella and said softly:
"Batman believes that everyone deserves a second chance, but I prefer to cut through the mess quickly."
"nonsense!"
Catwoman swung the whip at Mason, and the young man also pulled the handle of the umbrella, turning the activated intracranial disruptor that he had put into the umbrella with his own hands into attack mode.
The invisible electromagnetic waves obviously come faster than the flying whip.
Catwoman felt the world spinning before she hit Mason with the cat tail whip. She stumbled back to the railing on the second floor with nausea and vomiting.
The whip that lost its target was grabbed by Mason, and Catwoman's long whip was pulled away with a strong tug.
Seeing Mason walking over with the umbrella that was constantly emitting weird power that kept him dizzy, Catwoman gritted her teeth and pulled out Sujie's Eagle, flipping the blade and stabbing the young man.
The dazzling sword light dispersed in all directions, but Mason, who had covered his eyes in advance, was not disturbed and scattered a small bottle of dark green primary paralysis potion hidden in his hand.
The liquid splashed onto her body, making Catwoman's limbs numb. She rolled her eyes and collapsed on the ground, lowering her head and retching.
Sure enough, no matter how beautiful a woman is, this kind of action will seriously affect their charm.
"When this thing is turned on, it will burn out nearby electronic devices, so the words you just induced me to say cannot be heard by the Bat Family."
The young man said softly as he approached:
"I really don't mean any harm."
"Mason, this is wrong!"
Catwoman struggled and said:
"You kill a criminal, that means you become a criminal too! The total number of criminals remains the same! It makes no sense."
"Well said. But I have to remind you, Selina, I just killed 347 criminals."
With that said, Mason walked over to Catwoman who was almost fainting, opened the suitcase, activated the invisible extension spell, then took her hand and picked up Catwoman.
First let her feet enter the open box, and then said to Catwoman who was still struggling:
"Don't go to the basement of that apartment! Don't go out and wander around. I keep Miss Mag, Yaya and Maomao there. You can move around on the second floor and the top floor. There is still some water and food there.
Get some rest, Selena.
When I'm done here, we need to have a serious talk. "
"Are you going to put me in this box?"
Selina was feeling dizzy and uncomfortable. Catwoman gritted her teeth and said:
"Are you crazy? Or am I crazy?"
"Fortunately, we are all normal. I think your nine lives may have been wasted by you, so please keep my advice in mind if you don't want to become a zombie beauty."
Mason gave a gentle smile.
The moment he let go of his hands, Catwoman in his arms let out a scream, and her whole body spun around like she was falling off a cliff, and she fell into the suitcase at her feet with a whoosh.
Her drawn-out screams still echoed.
But the lid of the suitcase closed automatically in the next moment, and vibrated on the spot, causing the place to become completely quiet.
"Click"
The suitcase's lock was closed and Mason held it in his hand.
The young man adjusted his clothes and turned off the jammer of the Penguin Umbrella. He moved his shoulders and put on the invisibility cloak again and went downstairs. He quickly came around the cage where Commissioner Gordon and several police officers were hiding.
A group of zombies are still wandering here, including the Penguin boss.
Mason took out his gun and shot several of them, led them into the prison area on the other side and locked the fence door, and then appeared in front of the numb Chief Gordon and the police.
"I locked them up, but luckily those guys were stupid enough."
Mason, who reappeared, wiped the stains on his face, opened the cage for the police, and said to them:
"Those monsters are gone, and I don't know where they have gone or if they will come back, but we must take the risk and leave now! Gordon, can you still leave?"
"I can."
The director, who was almost in despair, was now filled with joy.
He glanced at the empty rifle in his hand and threw the fire stick aside, then took the pistol thrown by Mason and loaded it with a click.
The young people helped carry the two wounded people up. After confirming that they were not bitten by zombies, they led a group of people towards the exit that was blown up by the Kite Man.
Of course, there were zombies rushing out along the way, trying to leave a few unlucky people behind, but with the good marksmanship of Mason and Gordon as their escort, the group finally arrived at the collapsed exit without any danger.
This place has become a hellish scene.
Those members of the Penguin Gang who later rushed in to rescue the boss unfortunately encountered wandering zombies head-on, and their fate was self-evident.
Judging from the horrific bloodstains and residue on the ground, the power that Oswald spent more than ten years building is destined to disappear after tonight.
"Oh my God, the exit was blown down and we can't get out."
When a police sergeant saw the collapsed entrance wall in front of him, he squatted on the ground in despair with his head in his hands. Others also looked bitter.
What's worse is that the low roars of zombies are coming from behind.
But Gordon didn't stop.
He was looking for something available nearby to bring his brothers out of the desperate situation. Just as Mason wanted to help, he heard a familiar roar of an engine from the outside.
Gordon, who was more familiar with this, shouted directly:
"It's the Batmobile outside! Get out of the way, Batman is coming!"
Everyone was perked up after hearing this.
Ten seconds later, with a loud noise that shook the ground, the exit of the collapsed main prison building exploded as if it had been hit head-on by a high-explosive tank bomb.
The cool and domineering Batmobile smashed through the blocking stones and rushed in amid the splashing of gravel. This group of policemen who had survived the disaster immediately felt very safe and cheered.
The Bat Fighter was also cruising in the night sky outside and shining high-power lights into the breach. Under the strong light, the cabin of the Batmobile slid open, and a familiar figure stood up from inside.
Mason glanced there.
Only a caped silhouette could be seen in the bright light, but he was sure that it was not Nightwing's replacement Batman.
That's Bruce Wayne!
The real Batman has a unique temperament that can never be faked, as if his appearance under any circumstances means that no matter how terrible the crisis is, it is not worth mentioning.
The Dark Knight is back.
Just like countless times before.
He was never absent when the city needed him.
But Mason quietly took a step back when the man approached. He could no longer face his favorite superhero as calmly as before.
After personally releasing the zombie beasts and turning Blackgate Prison into hell, Mason knew that he could never stand with Batman.
But he does not regret his choice today.
What happened today made me safe, and it was also beneficial to Gotham as a whole.
He respects the man in front of him but does not have to blindly follow him. He can learn from Batman but does not need to become a poor imitator of Bruce Wayne.
He can rely on himself to make his own way in the world opened by a new life. He may not be praised, but just like the horror story that happened tonight, it is destined to be circulated in Gotham City for many years.
He doesn't have to kneel to anyone, and he doesn't have to flatter anyone.
Although there may be a risk of being discovered by Batman and personally captured and sent to Arkham Asylum, Mason must admit that it is better to become a well-behaved bat cub than to follow suit.
He really liked the feeling of being in control of everything now.
With this idea finally firmed up, when Batman's eyes fell on him, Mason raised his head and showed a polite smile.
He wiped the blood off his face, took the initiative to extend his hand and said:
"You are late this time, Batman."
