Chapter 80: Mantis Catches Cicada

Chapter 80: Mantis Catches Cicada

  "System, what happened just now?"

  The player asked the system with a serious look on his face. He just mowed the grass for a while and killed a lot of people. It took no more than half an hour. How come things developed to this point?

  "This matter is quite complicated," the system roughly browsed the historical records, "In short, Black Mask and the Assassin's League teamed up to capture Jason and hand him over to Talia."

  "So Batman wanted to save Jason but was defeated and fell to the ground regretfully?" The player was confused. Is this really the script that Batman should have?

  "Oh, that's Dick. Batman himself is not here, so he's here to fill in. By the way, he mistook Damian from the League of Assassins for an ally, and then he couldn't get back on his feet."

  The player wordlessly pushed Dick awake.

  "Sir, do you need any help?"

  The first thing Dick saw when he woke up was Yinzhi's stunning beauty and brilliant red hair.

  Oh huh... no, oh huh back off, he's a man.

  Dick guarded his sexuality to the death.

  "Who are you? I just clearly..."

  His brain was in a state of confusion and he felt dizzy again and again. Then Dick felt a sharp pain like a cone at the back of his head. Based on his experience of being beaten countless times over the years, he concluded that the murder weapon was a handle-shaped metal product.

  Coincidentally, his beloved fourth brother who had just been found home was holding something that looked like a weapon. Although his standing position just now had some height problems, he could easily reach it if he just jumped up.

  "Not good!" Dick figured out the answer with his chaotic mind, and then was shocked awake by the answer:

  Damian will be taken away by the Assassin's League!

  Yinzhi maintained her glorious image and watched Dick's facial expression change in confusion:

  "Sir in distress, I am Silver Branch, a knight of the Order of the Pure Knights. Are you sure you don't need help?"

  If you need help, can you please admit that Lady Idrila is unparalleled in beauty?

  But Dick was in no mood to deal with Yinzhi's problems. After discovering that such a beautiful girl was actually a man, his interest in Yinzhi plummeted. He was anxious to find his brother who had run away to somewhere unknown, and the Red Hood who seemed to be a clown imitator.

  "It's okay, don't worry about me, just get out of here."

  He said coldly, standing up from the corner and about to jump towards the window.

  But a red spear appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of him.

  "Sorry," Silver Branch still shone, but he was no longer gentle at this moment. After confirming that the Bat Monster had normal behavioral abilities, he withdrew his kindness to the weak.

  "Although it goes against my code of conduct, I must take offense. You can't leave."

  Yinzhi asked Dick with an unquestionable momentum: "Have you seen a person wearing a red plastic bucket on his head and a person with red upper body and blue lower body who can spray spider silk from his wrist in this room?"

  "Are you in cahoots with them?" Dick put his fingers on his utility belt, where he kept a dozen spare batarangs and a dozen smoke bombs, plus whatever else he could find.

  Damn, he was careless. This was Black Mask's lair. How could anyone who could appear here be simple?

  "They are my dearest friends. Although we are destined to be apart, I will always remember everything they have done for me."

  Yinzhi looked at the bat lover, and his intuition told him that anyone wearing this kind of clothes would not speak well, so the player decided to do it himself:

  “Our purpose here is just to find a ship that can go out to sea. I will be responsible for the frontal assault to attract attention, while they will go around to look for Black Mask’s smuggling map.

  But now, you are the only one left in the entire penthouse. Neither my close friends nor Black Mask are here. I must get an explanation."

  Dick found the highlight: So this guy directly broke into Black Mask’s lair?

  Dick, who was hit hard on the back of his head, weighed the pros and cons and had to call for support: "Red Robin, I need your help."

  Tim stood on the top of Wayne Tower, his fingers flying up and down on the small mobile computer. Because he was forcefully deprived of his Robin identity, he had to rush to make a new uniform and debut as Red Robin.

  He should have continued to search for information about Jason, but an alarm from Dick's security system forced him to stop his work and go back to see what happened, which forced him to climb up the Wayne Tower in the rainy and humid weather just to get a good view.

  When Dick called, Tim rolled his eyes ungracefully. Ha, I knew that guy was not a good guy. Now he’s in trouble, right?

  He accessed the communication channel, "This is Red Robin. I'm trying to locate Robin. He knows the streets well and has not taken any roads that have surveillance."

  But Dick obviously wasn't here for this: "Red Robin, find out where those two people are now. There's a guy who calls himself the Pure Knight who wants to know about this."

  Tim felt that he seemed to have heard the title of Pure Knight somewhere before, but before he could remember it, a wet hand was placed at his feet.

  "Hey, buddy, please make way. The roads in Gotham are really hard to navigate. My god, what are you doing here so late at night?"

  Spider-Man flipped up from the bottom and started chattering when he saw the stranger. The suit he was wearing was hand-sewn, which made it not very waterproof, and the mask was tightly attached to his face, almost revealing the entire outline of his face.

  "It's terrible," Peter pulled open a corner of his mask to breathe, "The air in Gotham is too humid, much worse than New York."

  Just as he was tugging at the corner of his clothes to squeeze out the water, the almighty bat hero Red Robin had roughly recognized his identity from his facial features, and Peter's mention of New York further proved this point.


  Isn't this Peter Parker, Jason's deskmate in his new high school?

  "Red Robin? Answer my question." Dick urged in the headset.

  "Hello, I'm Spider-Man. When you looked down here just now, did you see a creature about this tall..."

  Peter approached Tim in a familiar manner and gestured with his hand to show a height that looked very short, even a little shorter than his actual height.

  "…kid, he brought some men in black and took away my friend with the red plastic bucket. Oh, and there was also a black mask. Do you know the black mask?"

  Two people bombarded Tim's eardrums from two places, but the superhero with excellent qualities never panicked:

  "Wait, you're Spider-Man?"

  After seeing Peter nod, Tim put his hand on the headset: "Night...Batman, Spider-Man is on Wayne Tower."

  Then he turned to look at Spider-Man, deliberately leaving his microphone on: "Are you Jason's deskmate Peter Parker?"

  Peter didn't expect that just asking for directions would lead to a vest crisis. He panicked and blurted out:

  "What Peter, Peter, Peter? I don't know you at all. I'm just a tourist visiting Gotham. No, I came here to ask if you have seen the kidnappers who kidnapped my friend..."

  Just as he was struggling to death, Dick, who heard Tim's words, suddenly turned his head to Yinzhi: "Do you know Jason?"

  The player was very pleased that after struggling for so long, he finally asked the question to the key point: "Mr. Jason is my best friend. His generosity and commitment to justice have always been his shining points."

  Silver Branch was very honest and answered almost every question, but there was no time to praise Silver Branch's virtues now, because Dick suddenly realized a very important and fatal problem:

  "If Jason's friend Peter Parker is here, and his other friend Silver Branch is here, where would Jason be?"

  Jason is in the hands of his father's own son.

  Oh my god! I never thought that a lousy joke I said casually would become reality. Now I am really going to be sold to the Middle East by my own son.

  "So my dad is Batman, my brother is Nightwing, my third brother is Robin, and I am a dead Robin?"

  Jason sorted out the connections. Although he had guessed long ago in Luo Fu that his family might be one of the many tights heroes, he didn't expect that he was one of them. No wonder he died so early.

  Damian raised his chin in pride, "No, Drake is Red Robin now, and I am Robin, loser."

  Jason looked at the little brat who was trying hard to straighten his back: "So if you become Robin, you can sell your second brother to the Middle East?"

  Then why didn't I sell Dick out when I was Robin? Did I not like him?

  "Shut up!" Damian was furious. On the one hand, he was proud of his identity as Robin, but on the other hand, he knew clearly that what he did was against morality.

  Therefore, he chose to rest temporarily in an abandoned warehouse, giving the reason that he could temporarily avoid Spider-Man and Red Robin who were pursuing him, and even sent away the other assassins.

  He stared at his nominal second brother fiercely: "This is mother's order. Enjoy your right to speak freely now."

  Jason just looked at Damian with a weird look: "Do you know who I am?"

  "TT, just a failure who was lucky enough to be resurrected from the dead, but he actually obtained Luofu's ability to live forever." The child swore, but he did know a lot.

  Jason frowned. “You shouldn’t have gotten involved in this, Damian. Now is the time.”

  "You want me to betray my mother?" Damian put his hand on the knife.

  "Although I don't know what your family education is like, if possible, I would even like to advise your mother not to get involved in this matter. This matter is very complicated and you can't control it."

  "What do you know?" Damian retorted coldly, holding his long sword and sitting on the other side, ignoring him.

  In the darkness, the dangerous, sharp, and wildly beautiful woman received the message from her subordinates.

  "Very good, just one step left. Well done, my only son."

  A faint light illuminated the inner room from the crack in the door. Densely packed genetic babies were soaked in formalin. An owl stood on the treetop, its golden eyes glowing faintly in the dark night.

  The photo of Silver Branch appearing in Gotham quickly circulated on the dark web. That night, countless forces in the dark began to mobilize without any concealment, and Spider-Man's true identity was almost offered at a sky-high price on the dark web.

  Countless facial recognition technologies and big data screening technologies were used one after another, and hackers attacked the government's security system with all their might. But soon, someone unknown took action and a series of false information began to disrupt the network, and hidden Trojan viruses spread like a plague.

  No one slept that night.
