Chapter 76 28 What Is a Self-Defeating Move and What Is a Mistake? [1150]
Chapter 76 28. What is self-defeating and what is a mistake? --【1150】
"Ding"
The elevator leading to the lowest level underground of Arkham Asylum opened, and well-trained warriors in black poured out like a tide, with the leader holding a bunch of keys in his hand.
That thing was still bleeding.
It seems the way he got it was less than peaceful.
The empty elevator behind him closed quietly, which did not attract the attention of the black warriors of the Assassin's League. However, Mason in the elevator saw an iron door being opened under the cover of the invisibility cloak.
Amidst the weird roaring sound, a strange "humanoid crocodile" dragged its tail and came out with a bridle.
When the elevator door closed completely and began to ascend, Dr. Harley, who tightly covered her mouth, whispered in horror:
"That's Killer Croc. Oh my god, what are they going to do?"
"Didn't the Joker already reveal the answer?"
Mason took out his blaster shotgun and pressed a specially marked magazine into the rear magazine while looking at the rising levels of the elevator.
At this troublesome moment, his voice remained calm. After giving himself a sip of demulcent to keep himself in the calmest state, he said to Dr. Harley in a calm tone:
"The Assassins who want to destroy Gotham are recruiting 'temporary members'. They want to use these dangerous cannon fodder to attract the attention of Gotham City's superheroes while they carry out their damn 'Advent' plan." .
It seems that even after clearly destroying Batman, they are still very afraid of the Bat Family and other people in the city.
It seems I wrongly blamed them.
They are not courageous, they are just too stable.
good.
I just did what I said, and finally I didn't get into the "next time" mess. "
The young man pulled out a double-barreled hand cannon and fired a shot at the control panel of the elevator in front of him.
As Dr. Harley screamed, the rising elevator stopped immediately with sparks flying. The emergency stops popped up on all sides and got stuck in the elevator passage, making a harsh sound. After several vibrations, the elevator finally stopped.
Mason took out his captain's suit from his bag. He glanced at Harley Quinzel, who was wrapped in an invisibility cloak like a quilt, and said to her:
"Turn around! Don't look, I want to change clothes."
"oh."
The female doctor, who was already distracted, turned around obediently.
In this relatively large hospital elevator, Mason methodically took off his coat and shirt, folded them and put them into his bag. While putting on his gray battle suit, he said to Harley:
"I'll send you out in a moment. You drive away from here and go to the Iceberg Bar to find a guy named Kite Man. I will contact him in advance to settle you in.
Call the police by the way.
This is on the outskirts of the city, so Director Gordon may not receive the news immediately. "
"Oh, what about you?"
Dr. Harley tried to calm down.
She was also very pragmatic and imitated Mason, taking out a bottle of demulcent in her pocket and taking a sip. The fear quickly dissipated and she calmed down.
She was obedient and didn't look back.
But the smooth bulkhead of the elevator was like a mirror, allowing her to watch almost completely the entire process of Mason changing clothes. The angular abdominal muscles of the young man's abdomen and the amazing muscle outline of his back made the female doctor swallow her saliva.
She suddenly felt a little hot.
Especially when you are alone in this confined space with a very reassuring boy.
"I have my own way out of here, so you don't have to worry."
Mason didn't notice Dr. Harley's "peeping". He put the full-face helmet on his head and activated the filter mask and respirator in his mouth out of caution.
With deep breathing, he picked up the old K gun and replaced it with a black silencer with the same square head and square head on the front. He took out two bottles of petrification potion and stuffed them into Dr. Harley's hands.
explain:
"If you accidentally get hit, these clothes will most likely fail. If you encounter bad guys, just throw them out."
"How do I tell who is the bad guy?"
Harley almost cried.
After being accidentally interrupted by Mason, "Harley Quinn"'s career change path returned to her role as a rational but fragile psychiatrist.
Although practicing gymnastics since she was a child has made her amazingly flexible and not lacking in physical fitness, the female doctor was still a little at a loss when she encountered something that would have been difficult even if Batman was coming.
"It's simple, whoever shoots you is the bad guy."
Mason said something quietly, stepped forward and clasped the closed elevator door with both hands.
The "employee benefits" obtained by upgrading in the Star Club have made him no longer a weak high school student, and the experience of several fights has also given Mason the confidence to fight.
He used his hands to get the elevator door stuck between the first floor and the negative floor. He first let Dr. Harley crawl out wearing an invisibility cloak, and then he followed the opened gap to the ground.
He had already heard all kinds of shrill and weird screams and noisy gunshots echoing in the building he was in.
He had to take Harley out of here before things got into trouble further.
But the journey is not destined to be smooth.
Almost at the same time that chaos broke out in Arkham Asylum where Mason was located, terrible chaos also fell in Gotham City, and the first to bear the brunt was the Wayne Tower, the city's iconic building.
Several black SUVs and three trucks parked on the street in front of the building, and heavily armed black warriors filed out of the vehicles.
Several people at the head and the end of the team shot at both sides of the road. The out-of-control vehicles quickly collided with each other and were detonated by the bombs thrown. The flames rose and caused chaos on the street.
The elite members of the Assassin League acted quickly, leaving a group of people standing outside the building to block the entrances and exits. The remaining armed men divided into four teams and rushed into the building, and then gunshots rang out.
Not only on the ground, but also in the sky, two black helicopters landed on the tarmac on the top of Wayne Tower.
The hatch opened, and the Scarlet Knight wearing a red helmet and mechanical suit jumped out.
He holds a modular high-tech rifle in his hand, four pistols and a row of grenades with various functions inserted into his combat belt. He carries two straight-edged swords staggered on his back, and two short fighting knives for close combat on his waist. .
This group of black warriors wasted no time.
They dispersed like water as if they had practiced it countless times. This group of people entered the top floor of the building from three directions.
The two helicopters took off again but did not move away. Instead, they circled around the Wayne Tower. The heavy machine guns mounted on the helicopters were aimed at the building, ready to provide fire support at any time.
Screams and explosions sounded in the building from time to time, and the headquarters of Wayne Industries was quickly occupied by this group of uninvited guests.
But they did not injure anyone too much and instead gathered all the employees in the middle of the building and imprisoned them.
As for the leader of the Scarlet Knight, his goal was clear. He led two team members to the outside of the office of the chairman of the board of directors of Wayne Industries by rappelling accurately, and then rushed inside amidst the sound of glass shattering from gunfire.
The standard tactic was to roll up, raise your hand and fire a bullet, hitting Mr. Lucius Fox at the feet as he was about to escape with his blond assistant.
The old man, Batman's close comrade-in-arms and a supernumerary genius engineer of the Bat family, immediately raised the gun in his hand to fight back, but the next moment, a black alien dart flew over and hit his palm accurately.
Mr. Lucius, who was bleeding and in pain, immediately dropped the pistol in his hand.
But the blond assistant, who looked as delicate and frail as a vase, rushed forward with clenched fists and hit the Scarlet Knight, knocking the high-tech rifle out of his hand.
The standard of her movements and the swiftness of her fists showed that she was a real fighter, which was completely inconsistent with her delicate appearance dressed like an urban OL.
Think about it too.
To become the secretary of a world-class corporate boss like Wayne Group, rich work experience and outstanding abilities may not be enough.
How can he get such a high salary because he also serves as a bodyguard?
But unfortunately, she tried her best but failed to get any benefit from the Scarlet Knight.
The fierce attacks were dodged and blocked. When the guy took the third step back, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the female assistant's leg that was kicked out like a knife, and then lifted the assistant's whole body up with an explosion of power. He fell to his side, raised his combat boots and kicked the girl on the head without mercy.
She fell unconscious immediately and then started bleeding.
"Stop!"
Lucius, who was covering his palms, shouted immediately when he saw this scene. The Scarlet Knight, who had already drawn his pistol and aimed it at the female assistant's forehead, removed his finger from the trigger.
The red helmet with no visible eyes or facial features was raised and stared at Mr. Lucius. After a moment, a hoarse voice came from it:
"Give me your ID card! Don't play tricks."
Mr. Lucius endured the pain and took out his ID card and threw it away. He got up while several guns were aimed at him and took out a first aid kit in the office to treat his unconscious and injured female assistant.
The Scarlet Knight stood up, handed Lucius's identity card to the adjutant behind him, and warned:
"The seventh floor underground is Batman's secret scientific research laboratory! The heavy equipment we need most can be found there, and there is also a data host system that can monitor the entire city.
Open it now!
Make that your second headquarters! "
The black knight turned away without saying a word, and Mr. Lucius, who was giving first aid to his assistant, raised his head in shock and looked at the Scarlet Knight in front of him.
He whispered:
"Who are you? You even know about the backup monitoring system. You must be someone close to him!"
"I'm a ghost from hell."
The Scarlet Knight replied quietly:
"Come here to turn Gotham into the hell I've seen."
"You are just wishful thinking!"
Mr. Lucius was filled with shock and fear as he gritted his teeth and said:
"Many people have thought this way, but no one has ever succeeded! You are just another loser!"
"But who can make me fail?"
The Scarlet Knight paused for several seconds before answering sarcastically:
"Is that the distress button you secretly pressed when you were getting the first aid kit? Batman has been defeated by me, the Bat Family has been torn apart, and now the only one who can come to save you is a 'semi-retired' lady.
That's just another lamb thrown into the tiger's mouth! "
After the words fell, the guy turned around and fired back with the rifle in his hand, catching a slender figure descending from the roof of the building off guard.
The latter wrapped his body in a red bulletproof cape and ran into the office. He rolled quickly and threw a batarang to try to stop the Scarlet Knight, but was knocked away by the latter with the rifle in his hand.
In an instant, the red figure rushed up, and the two of them fought in close quarters on the ground covered with glass debris.
The rescuer wearing a red cape is obviously a woman, but she is also wearing a Bat-family-style suit, except that the bat logo on the chest is not black but red.
"boom"
The Scarlet Knight used excellent reflexes to dodge the attack of the Bat Lady in front of him. He drew out the large-caliber pistol from his waist while retreating. He held both guns in his hands and constantly looked for opportunities to fire during the battle, or used the gun body as a "war hammer" to sweep and block.
It is very similar to the legendary "gun fighting technique".
This unique fighting style combines the fighting skills of the Bat Family with the essence of the assassination skills of the Assassin League. In less than twenty seconds, Ms. Bat, who rushed to save Mr. Lucius, fell into a disadvantage.
She tried to escape, but was shot three times by the Scarlet Knight in the same place on her left leg, breaking her suit. She was then brutally bumped and thrown back into the office by someone close to her.
Panting, she crossed her arms and popped out the fighting shark tooth knife, but the Scarlet Knight stopped attacking at this moment.
He sarcastically said:
"'Aunt Cathy'! When people get old, they should retire honestly instead of imitating young people in fighting and killing. Batwoman has disappeared for seven years, and you have really regressed too much after being a teacher for seven years. "
"you!"
Batwoman was shocked when her identity was revealed, and the Scarlet Knight took this opportunity to fire three shots, hitting Batwoman's unique red mask and helmet.
The bullet was blocked by the metal helmet, but the impact made the no longer young lady stagger back and was bullied by the Scarlet Knight, who slapped her on the neck.
Seeing Batwoman, the only one who could come to support, being decisively defeated, the fear in Mr. Lucius's heart was unspeakable.
He can now confirm that this Scarlet Knight is definitely someone from the Bat Family, otherwise there is no way to explain why he knows these unknown inside stories so much.
"Commander! There is nothing on the seventh underground floor!"
Just as the Scarlet Knight defeated Batwoman neatly, his lieutenant informed him of very bad news, which made the evil star frown immediately.
He asked:
"What do you mean 'nothing'? That's Batman's weapons research and development center! How could there be nothing?"
"Hahaha"
At this moment, Mr. Lucius finally couldn't help the emotions rolling in his heart and laughed.
Before, he was still upset that his laboratory was evacuated, but now he saw the terrible result that these murderous Assassin League freaks had gone to such great lengths to rush in but returned without success. I am very relieved.
I even started to thank Mr. "Mysterious Man" in my heart.
As a talented designer, Lucius Fox knew very well how much trouble the weapons and systems in his laboratory would bring to the city if they fell into the hands of this group of thugs.
Compared to this result, he would rather personally give those weapons that he spent so much effort on to a phantom thief.
"Have you been prepared?"
Lucius's laughter made the angry Scarlet Knight turn around abruptly. He reached out to lift the old Mr. Lucius from the ground and asked loudly:
"How could you move that large laboratory in advance? Who gave you the warning?"
"Haha, young man."
Lucius was willing to take the risk now.
The old black man grinned and said mysteriously:
"You know that no matter what crisis we face, the Bat Family is always prepared! Don't think that bullying a retired lady can show your martial ethics. I just said that your failure is inevitable!
And I already guessed who you were. "
The old man looked up and down at the red, round helmet in front of him that covered all the faces of the attacker, and he whispered:
"Jason, the Avenger who crawled out of hell! It's you, right? You deliberately tortured Bruce like that without killing him. You just wanted to kill Batman, but you still have feelings for Bruce.
Look at you!
You were turned into a monster by them!
But you still have your own feelings. "
"maybe."
The Scarlet Knight, whose identity was guessed, didn't care about this. Although the operation in Wayne Tower ended in complete failure, it did not affect the League of Assassins' actions in the city.
He threw Lucius on the ground and ignored him. He activated the communicator with his backhand and said to the other side:
"The Bat Family has prepared in advance. The weapons and surveillance systems in the laboratory have been moved. The 'Advent Day' plan may have been leaked!
On your side, prevent being attacked by the Bat Family and send people to take over the Bat Cave.
I'll rush there immediately. "
"No, Scarlet Knight."
A very magnetic but cold female voice responded:
"Come back to Arkham. There are still tasks for you here. Bane will handle the Batcave side. They have already set off."
The Scarlet Knight did not dispute the order.
Like an indifferent war machine, he strode to the broken window and grabbed the ladder hanging from the sky. When he was about to leave, Mr. Lucius, who was aimed at by three guns, lay on the ground and shouted:
"Jason! You can still turn around, don't do anything stupid!"
"I can definitely turn back."
Jason Todd clung to the ramp and let the helicopter take him into the air. The moment he left, he said to Lucius without looking back:
"But I don't want to do that."
"Enjoy your last day, Your Excellency. The destruction of all good and evil, good and evil, is at hand."
