Crimson Embers Chapter 2 So is this honorary Robin nickname on me actually a Batman trap?
The World Envoy Residence is not a single apartment or building, but a large complex covering an area of several city blocks.
Because there are so many garden worlds under the Council, the number of governors and officials they have stationed in those worlds is also quite astonishing. When the monthly world meetings are held, this building specially used to receive envoys from various worlds will appear overcrowded.
Needless to say, the security here is naturally top-notch. As facilities to protect important figures in the Council system, drones and autonomous robots are just standard equipment, and elite warriors drawn from various Conqueror sequences are deployed at different outposts.
There is also an independent energy and logistics supply here.
Once attacked or spied on, a rapid response force composed of Skynet Terminators will be airdropped here within ten minutes. Judging from normal circumstances, it is no problem to call it impregnable.
But that was just a normal situation. Everyone alive in this day and age should be prepared for unexpected events at any time. At this moment, outside the mansion where the world envoy "Marlene Frost" was staying, a shadow was quietly approaching in the night.
It soared silently in the air, perfectly avoiding the lights and various detection equipment around it, approaching the target like a ghost, until it landed lightly on the wall of the mansion and hung there in an upside-down posture, revealing its true appearance.
That's a person.
He has a slender figure without many external decorations, no cape and no cool armor, just a close-fitting black battle suit and a unique goggle-style half-helmet on his cheek.
He lay quietly against the wall, and with a slight movement of his ears he could hear the unique voice of the lady coming from the room, charming and alluring.
This made the stalker expressionless and not let down his guard.
His sharp eyes roamed around, and as certain special biological structures of his eyes were activated, a cluster of unconcealable details fell into his eyes, allowing him to confirm the target again.
The people in this mansion must have been to the grave of the recently buried Chief Arbitrator, and their feet were stained with the unique smell of the soil there.
Of course, this was not an official action.
After the Chief Arbitrator committed suicide, many inquiries about the former big shot have come to a halt, and the current chaos within the Council has shifted the focus of many things.
This was just a private act.
The intruder and eavesdropper was very curious about what the people in the mansion were doing at Lord Fury's tomb, and most importantly, why did they go there?
And another question that arises from this is, who are these guys really? Why did they disguise themselves as world envoys and sneak into Hope City?
As the Conqueror Sequence's rotating member to defend Hope City this month, he felt it was necessary for him to figure out these tantalizing mysteries.
He looked towards the window next to him, and through thermal imaging he could see three biological signals entangled on the big bed in the bedroom, and three dogs lying outside the door and playing around.
This is a good opportunity to sneak in.
He didn't leave any marks by touching the window, but instead, he vibrated his body in a rather supernatural way, allowing him to slip into the apartment full of sex quite easily, as if he could pass through walls.
Without alerting anyone, he began his search in the dark.
Soon, he found something important.
In the desk drawer near the window, the torn Rorschach diary came into view, which made the intruder's eyes light up. He immediately took out special tools and containers to take it away.
But just as he stretched out his hand, a gentle voice sounded behind him and asked:
"You seem to know this thing? Great, I have a lot of questions and I'm planning to ask someone who knows the inside story. If you're not busy tonight, could you allow me to buy you a cup of coffee?
This uninvited friend whose tastes are very similar to Batman's?"
"Snap"
The intruder was startled but not panicked. He turned around and punched Mason in the chest, smashing him to pieces with a splash.
He picked up the diary, turned around, broke through the blockade of Harley and Quinn who were waving baseball bats, and disappeared into the darkness again with his magical wall-walking skills. He was gone in just a few seconds.
"Who is this?"
Harley looked at Mason, who was reconstructing the water body, in surprise. The captain also had a strange expression. He touched his chest and said uncertainly:
"It could be...Batman?"
"ha?"
The two little cuties widened their eyes, and then Harley complained:
"So, sweetheart, are you actually some kind of humanoid self-propelled bat decoy unit? Why do you always encounter Batman's time-space alternations in different worlds?"
"You ask me this, who should I ask?"
Mason rolled his eyes and said:
"You guys stay here to deal with the patrol that may come later. I'll go out and stretch my body. Once we bring him back, all the questions will be answered."
After saying that, the captain activated the water teleportation. At the same time, the intruder who had already rushed out of the mansion area let out a scream. The blood in his body was flowing abnormally backwards and under the pull of some force, he was about to break out of his body to complete the shaping of Mason's body.
But this guy's powers are very weird.
Although the water had been mobilized, the backflow of blood was forcibly suppressed, causing Mason's precise teleportation to be completed in a fountain further down.
He shaped his body under the night sky and looked up at the figure disappearing in the night. Then he curled his lips and called out:
"Knock him down!"
"Quack"
Kevin took action immediately after receiving the order. He transformed himself into a lifelike slime monster disguised as Rorschach's diary and instantly burst the intruder's bag, causing a large number of strange things to fall from the sky like raindrops. The intruder's flight trajectory was destroyed by the constantly rotating slime, forcing him to slide to the ground.
But when he landed on the ground, a burst of strong electric current stripped Kevin completely off, and then an ultra-low temperature bomb was thrown out, freezing the slime monster that had risen again in the cold air into a large lump of weirdly shaped mud.
The clean and swift counterattack showed how this guy fought, and he no longer tried to escape because Mason had appeared in front of him.
The pistol in his hand was drawn, aimed, and the hammer was cocked.
"Bang"
The dull sound of the gunfire was no longer so noticeable under the suppression of the muzzle silencer. The guy in front of him was lucky. This time the reloading did not trigger the lucky bullet, but the most common armor-piercing bullet.
The only problem is that this little thing is a warhead made of vibranium and has the law of causality that makes it certain to hit the target.
The target dodged the bullet easily with his miraculous speed, and when he lunged over, gunshots were heard again. A ball of blood exploded from his left leg, causing the latter's lunging movement to go wrong and he fell to the ground with a thud. He rolled over in a very embarrassed posture and was pinned to the ground by Mason's downward hand.
"Don't move!"
Mason looked down at the guy in front of him with a strange mask and said:
"I have seven anti-Batman tactics! If you don't want me to try them all on you, then obey me. I'm not going to hurt you. I really just want to ask a few questions.
Bruce...
I am your friend, even though you have never seen me."
The latter's reaction was quite direct. He let out a roar, opened his mouth and bit Mason's wrist.
This reaction was obviously beyond the predictions of all of Captain America's anti-Batman plans, because he never thought that any Batman would attack the enemy in this way.
Use your teeth!
Damn it, are you Beast, the former Batman?
But the next second, Mason's complaints came to an abrupt end.
Because he felt the blood in his body was rapidly gathering towards the place where the other party was biting his arm. For ordinary people, the rush of blood at this moment was enough to make them lose their combat effectiveness, but Mason also had the nickname of Suicune, so he was not panicked at all.
He allowed the other party to suck one third of his blood, and his left leg, which was pierced by a bullet, recovered quickly as the blood was sucked.
"So he's a vampire?"
The captain loosened his grip as the target's body vibrated at high speed, allowing the latter to move away like a flash.
The guy with increasingly complex components activated a device on his combat belt, and at the moment when the light of quantum transmission jumped, Mason raised his left hand and pulled it out hard.
"puff"
The vampire lord who had just recovered his body was like a water bag that had been broken. The blood that was extracted into his body to replenish energy was given super penetrating power, like a bullet fired from the body, causing a flash of blood, and also causing the vampire Batman who wanted to escape to fall limply to the ground.
Then the water melted into ice, freezing him.
The latter's teleportation device was still in effect. The captain stepped forward, touched the device a few times and then dismantled it. Although he was not very familiar with the internal structure of the thing, the general engineering ideas were the same. It took only a few seconds to pull out the battery and stop the latter's teleportation.
The disappearance of the light meant that the intruder was captured. Mason didn't hesitate and reached out to grab the latter's mask and pulled it up, revealing a thin, silent and dead face.
It can't be said that he is very similar to Bruce Wayne, but it can be said that he is completely unrelated.
Even his hair and eye colors are different, not to mention deep substances like DNA. This is not Bruce Wayne's time-space alternation, although he does have all the characteristics of Batman.
"I know that if I work in this field for a long time, I will get unexpected surprises sooner or later."
Mason stood in front of the frozen mysterious vampire Batman, looked him up and down, and said:
"You are not the Batman who inherited from Robin, right? You lack the temperament of the Dark Knight, although you are indeed quite dark.
But we can talk about your personal identity later. Tell me, who asked you to follow me?
Where have you seen that diary?"
Such questioning obviously could not get an effective response. The vampire Batman, whose body was frozen and only his head was still moving, stared at the person in front of him with his blood-red pupils.
He looked the captain up and down, and after a moment he said in a hoarse voice:
"Mason Cooper? You're really brave to come here at this time. Everyone in this world has enough reason to hunt you.
My advice to you is, run.
Get out of here before you get caught and tortured."
"Why do you guys like to care about my personal safety? I appreciate your kindness, but I can handle these things myself."
Mason shook his head, took out an exquisite box from his bag, opened it, and took out a cross shining with a golden halo and held it in his hand.
He threatened the vampire Batman in front of him:
"You'd better answer my questions honestly, otherwise this Benedict relic taken from the Scarlet Castle's treasury will hit you on the head with the light of dawn.
This stuff is extremely sour and refreshing for vampires.
My vampire aunt friend told me that there is no one like me who can withstand the pain of this kind of torture, so you see, there is no need for us to go that far, right?"
Faced with Mason's threats and intimidation, the vampire Batman, who had fallen into the hands of the enemy, looked strange.
He seemed to be hesitating whether to tell Mason something, but his hesitation was considered dishonesty by the captain, so two seconds later, the burning golden cross was hit on the vampire's forehead.
With a bang, the latter let out a mournful cry.
But that was just the natural reaction of being hit on the head by a heavy object. The light on the sacred cross that was said to be able to burn all vampire creatures with the light of dawn not only did not explode, but instead shrank back in Mason's surprised gaze.
This seemed to be telling the captain that this was not its "area of expertise" and that its divine power had no effect on the vampire in front of it.
In other words, the vampire master that Mason caught is not decent at all!
"That's what I was just about to say."
The vampire Batman, who had a cross-shaped dent on his forehead, said helplessly in a hoarse voice:
"I didn't become a vampire through supernatural power. I don't even think I am a vampire, so all the methods you know of to restrain vampires are useless to me.
Mason, don't bother, I'm just an ordinary guy with 'vampire powers'... Hey! I told you this thing is useless, why are you still holding it up? ! "
"If magical coercion doesn't work, then we can only use physical means to force a confession. Isn't this common sense?"
The captain, who was not disappointed at all, rolled up his sleeves and held the holy cross in his hand like a war hammer.
This thing is a holy object made of special materials. It was brought out by a group of Holy Knights of the Vatican and used as a weapon to hunt down the vampire countess. Of course, the fact that it was collected by the countess proves that the result of the hunting operation was not satisfactory.
But on the other hand, the fact that this thing could be used by a group of paladins shouting holy light to beat up a high-level vampire fully proves that it was definitely made according to weapon-grade standards.
Perhaps the Vatican's blacksmith who forged this holy object was not quite right in his mind, or perhaps he had foresight and had anticipated the situation Mason faced, so he deliberately made the holy object heavier and thicker.
Not only can those stubborn vampires cleanse their dark hearts in the sunlight, but they can also repent of their dark sins under the bombardment of the cross's one-handed hammer on their skulls.
"Will you tell me?"
Mason pressed the head of the vampire Batman in front of him and raised the golden cross in his left hand to gesture. He asked a question, and the latter gritted his teeth and closed his eyes.
"Well, you asked for this, vampire! Confess!"
The captain smashed the cross in his hand down with a bang, hitting the back of the vampire Batman's head with a bang. The latter's head bones were quite hard, but unfortunately, no matter how hard the bones of a vampire were, his brain must be soft.
After being hit hard by the physical punishment of this sacred object, he fell unconscious without a sound. Mason then skillfully took off all the gadgets on his body and put them into his bag.
"Quack"
Kevin, the slime monster who broke free from the ice, jumped over, transformed into Damian and pointed at the glowing device under Mason's feet, indicating that while Mason was fighting wits and courage with the vampire Batman, the latter had already notified his companions.
"Of course I will."
Mason rolled his eyes and said to the stupid slime:
"How can I use him to catch bigger fish if I don't let him send out the message? I roughly guessed which organization this guy came from. I have to go back and update the anti-Superman tactics.
But I guess our anti-Wonder Woman tactics are pretty good, so if someone does come, it'll be up to you."
"Pah"
Kevin saluted with his heels touching and made a promise to Mason with full confidence, which meant that he was absolutely professional in "countering Wonder Woman" and Mason didn't have to worry.
If the strange heroine in this world dares to come, then this slime monster will make her never come back!
