Volume 2 Honoring Robin Chapter 28 What does it mean to make a mess of things and what does it mean to be a mistake?
"Ding"
The elevator leading to the lowest level of Arkham Asylum opened, and well-trained black warriors poured out like a tide, with the leader holding a bunch of keys in his hand.
That thing was still dripping blood.
It seems like the way he got it was not so peaceful.
The empty elevator behind him closed quietly without attracting the attention of the black warriors of the Assassin's League. Mason in the elevator saw an iron door being opened under the cover of the invisibility cloak.
Amidst the weird roars, an alien-like "humanoid crocodile" walked out, dragging its tail and wearing a bridle.
When the elevator door completely closed and began to move upward, Dr. Harley covered her mouth tightly and whispered in fear:
"That's Killer Croc...oh my god, what are they going to do?"
"Didn't the Joker already reveal the answer?"
Mason took out the explosive shotgun and pressed a specially marked magazine into the magazine at the rear while watching the elevator floors rise.
At this troublesome moment, his voice remained calm. After taking a sip of soothing medicine to calm himself down, 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 distract the attention of Gotham's superheroes while they carry out their damn 'Advent Day' plan.
It seems that even after Batman was clearly destroyed, they were still very wary of the Bat Family and other people in this city.
It seems I misjudged them.
They are not cowardly, they are just too cautious.
good.
I did what I said, and at least I didn't end up with that 'I'll do it next time' kind of thing."
The young man pulled out a double-barreled hand cannon and fired at the control panel of the elevator in front of him.
As Dr. Harley screamed, the elevator, which was rising with sparks flying, stopped immediately. The emergency stop devices that popped out on all sides 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 need to change my clothes."
"oh."
The female doctor, who was already at a loss, turned around obediently.
In this fairly spacious medical elevator, Mason methodically took off his coat and shirt, folded them into his bag, and said to Harley while putting on his gray battle suit:
"I'll send you out in a bit. You drive away from here and go to the Iceberg Bar to find a guy called Kite Man. I'll contact him in advance to settle you down.
Call the police by the way.
This is in the suburbs, and Director Gordon may not be able to receive the news immediately."
"Oh, what about you?"
Dr. Hallie tried to calm herself down.
She was very pragmatic at this moment and followed Mason's example, taking out a bottle of detoxifier from 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 wall of the elevator was like a mirror, allowing her to see almost the entire process of Mason changing his clothes. The young man's angular abdominal muscles and the amazing muscle contours on 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 boy who is very reassuring.
"I have my own way to leave here, so you don't have to worry about it."
Mason didn't notice Dr. Harley's "peeping". He put on the full-face helmet on his head and activated the filter mask and respirator on his mouth for caution.
With a low breath, he picked up his service pistol, Old K, and installed a black silencer with the same square head and square head on the front, then took out two bottles of petrifying potion and stuffed them into Doctor Harley's hands.
explain:
"If a fight breaks out, these clothes will most likely become ineffective. Throw them away if you run into a bad guy."
“How can I tell who the bad guys are?”
Harry was almost in tears.
After Mason accidentally interrupted Harley Quinn 's career change, she returned to the role of the rational but fragile psychiatrist.
Although she had been practicing gymnastics since she was a child, making her incredibly flexible and not lacking in physical strength, the female doctor was still a little overwhelmed when she encountered something that even Batman would find difficult for, her first time.
"It's simple. The one who shoots you is a bad guy."
Mason said this quietly, and stepped forward to clasp the closing elevator door with both hands.
The "employee benefits" he gained from upgrading in the Star Club made him no longer a weak high school student, and the experience of several battles also gave Mason the confidence to fight.
He used both hands to open the elevator door that was stuck between the first floor and the basement floor, and let Dr. Harry crawl out wearing an invisibility cloak. He then followed the opened gap to the ground.
He could already hear all kinds of shrill and strange screams and noisy gunshots echoing in the building he was in.
He had to get Harry away from here before things got any more troublesome.
But this journey was not destined to be smooth.
Almost at the same time as the chaos in Arkham Asylum where Mason was, terrible chaos also descended on Gotham City, with the first to be hit being the city's iconic building, Wayne Building.
Several black SUVs and three trucks stopped in the street in front of the building, and fully armed black warriors filed out of the cars.
The leader and several people at the end of the team fired shots on both sides of the road. The out-of-control vehicles soon collided with each other and were detonated by the bombs thrown. The flames rose and the street was in chaos.
The elite members of the Assassin's League acted quickly, leaving a team to guard outside the building to block the entrances and exits, and the remaining armed personnel were divided into four teams and rushed into the building, followed by gunshots.
Not only on the ground, but also in the sky, two black helicopters landed on the helipad on top of Wayne Building.
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, with four pistols and a row of grenades of various functions inserted in his combat belt, two straight-blade swords slung across his back, and two short knives for close combat on his waist.
The black warriors wasted no time.
They dispersed like flowing water, as if they had rehearsed it countless times, and the group entered the top floor of the building from three directions.
The two helicopters took off again but did not fly away. Instead, they circled around Wayne Building. The heavy machine guns mounted on the helicopters were aimed at the building, ready to provide fire support at any time.
Screams and explosions rang out in the building from time to time, and Wayne Industries' headquarters was soon occupied by these uninvited guests.
But they did not hurt too many people. Instead, they gathered all the employees in the building and detained them in the middle part.
As for the leading Scarlet Knight, he had a clear goal. He led two team members and rappelled accurately to the office of the chairman of the board of Wayne Industries, and then rushed in amid the sound of breaking glass caused by gunfire.
He rolled over with standard tactics and fired a bullet, which hit right at the feet of Mr. Lucius Fox who was about to escape with his blonde assistant.
Batman's close comrade-in-arms, the Batman family's non-staff genius engineer, immediately raised his gun to fight back, but the next moment, a black alien dart flew over and accurately pierced his palm.
Mr. Lucius, who was in pain and bleeding profusely, immediately dropped the pistol in his hand.
But the blonde assistant who looked as delicate and weak as a vase clenched his fists and rushed forward to hit the Scarlet Knight head-on, knocking the high-tech rifle in his hand away.
The standard of her movements and the swiftness of her punches showed that she was a real fighter, which was completely inconsistent with her delicate appearance of dressing like an urban office lady.
Come to think of it.
To become the secretary of the boss of a world-class company like the Wayne Group, it is probably not enough to just have rich work experience and outstanding abilities.
He is able to get such a high salary by working as a bodyguard.
But unfortunately, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't gain any advantage in front of 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 kicking like a knife. He lifted the assistant up and threw her to the side with an outburst of power. He then raised his combat boots and kicked the girl on the head without mercy.
She immediately fainted and blood started flowing out.
“Stop!”
Lucius, who was covering his palm, shouted immediately when he saw this scene. The Scarlet Knight, who had already pulled out his pistol and aimed at the female assistant's forehead, removed his finger from the trigger.
The red helmet with no eyes or facial features was raised and stared at Mr. Lucius. After a moment, a hoarse voice came out of it:
"Give me your ID card! Don't play tricks."
Mr. Lucius endured the pain, took out his ID card and threw it over. Then, under the aim of several guns, he stood up, took out the first aid kit in the office and treated his unconscious and injured female assistant.
The Scarlet Knight stood up, handed Lucius's ID card to the adjutant behind him, and instructed:
"On the seventh underground floor, Batman's secret research laboratory! There we can find the most important equipment we need right now, and there is also a data host system that can monitor the entire city.
Open it now!
Use that place as your second headquarters!"
The black warrior turned and left without a word, while Mr. Lucius, who was giving first aid to his assistant, looked up at the Scarlet Knight in front of him with shock on his face.
He whispered:
"Who are you? You even know about the backup surveillance system... You must be someone close to him!"
"I am a ghost crawling out of hell."
The Scarlet Knight replied dimly:
"I came here to turn Gotham into the hell I saw."
"You are just wishful thinking!"
Mr. Lucius was filled with shock and fear, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Many people have thought about this, 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 replying sarcastically:
"Did you secretly press the SOS button when you took the first aid kit just now? Batman has been defeated by me, the Bat Family has fallen apart, and now the only one who can come to save you is a 'semi-retired' lady.
It's just another lamb thrown into the tiger's mouth!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the guy turned around and shot backwards with the rifle in his hand, catching a slender figure that was rapidly descending from the roof off guard.
The latter wrapped his body in a red bulletproof cloak and rushed into the office. He rolled quickly and threw a bat dart to try to stop the Scarlet Knight, but was knocked away by the latter with the rifle in his hand.
At that instant, the red figure rushed up, and the two men fought in close combat on the ground covered with glass shards .
The helper wearing a red cape is obviously a woman, but she is also wearing a Bat-Family-style battle suit, except that the bat logo on the chest is red instead of black.
"boom"
The Scarlet Knight dodged the attack of the Bat Lady with excellent reaction, drew the large-caliber pistol from his waist while retreating, and kept looking for opportunities to fire with both guns in hand during the battle, or used the gun as a "war hammer" to sweep and block.
It looks very much like the legendary "gun fighting technique".
This unique fighting style combined the essence of the Bat Family's fighting skills and the Assassination Techniques of the League of Assassins. In less than twenty seconds, Ms. Bat, who had rushed to rescue Mr. Lucius with great momentum, 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, tearing her armor. She was then violently rammed and thrown back into the office.
She crossed her arms, panting, and ejected the fighting shark-tooth knife, but the Scarlet Knight stopped the attack at this moment.
He sneered hoarsely:
"Aunt Cathy! When you get old you should retire and not learn to fight like the young. Batwoman has been gone for seven years. You have really regressed a lot after being a teacher for seven years."
"you!"
Batwoman was shocked when her identity was exposed, and Scarlet Knight took this opportunity to fire three shots at Batwoman's unique red mask and helmet.
The bullet was blocked by the metal helmet, but the impact caused the no longer young lady to stagger back, and the Scarlet Knight rushed over and hit her on the neck.
Seeing Batwoman, the only one who could come to support him, being defeated so easily, Mr. Lucius felt an indescribable fear in his heart.
He can now confirm that this Scarlet Knight is definitely someone in the Bat Family, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why he knows so much about these unknown inside stories.
"Commander! There's nothing on the seventh underground floor!"
Just as the Scarlet Knight defeated Batwoman easily, his lieutenant informed him of some very bad news, which immediately made the evil star frown.
He asked:
"What do you mean 'nothing'? That's Batman's weapons research and development center! How can there be nothing?"
"Hahaha"
At this moment, Mr. Lucius finally couldn't hold back the emotions surging in his heart and laughed.
Before, he was still upset about his laboratory being emptied, but now seeing this group of murderous Assassin's League freaks who had gone to such great lengths to rush in here but returned with nothing, he felt very relieved at the poor result.
I even began to thank the "mysterious man" in my heart.
As a genius designer, Lucius Fox was well aware of how much trouble it would bring to the city if the weapons and systems in his laboratory fell into the hands of these thugs.
Compared to this result, he would rather personally hand over those weapons that he had spent so much effort on to a thief.
"You guys have been prepared?"
Lucius' laughter made the angry Scarlet Knight turn his head sharply. He reached out and lifted the old Mr. Lucius up from the ground, and asked loudly:
"How could you possibly move that large laboratory ahead of time? Who gave you the warning?"
"Haha, young man."
Lucius also took 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 virtue. I just said that your failure is inevitable!
And I have already guessed who you are."
The old man looked up and down at the red, round helmet that covered the attacker's entire face. He whispered:
"The Avenger who crawled out of hell... Jason! It's you, isn't it? You tortured Bruce like that on purpose but didn't kill him. You just wanted to kill Batman but you still have feelings for Bruce.
Look at you!
They turned you into a monster!
But you still have your feelings.”
"maybe."
The Scarlet Knight, whose identity was guessed, didn't care about these. Although the operation in Wayne Building ended in complete failure, it did not affect the actions of the Assassin's League in the city.
He threw Lucius to the ground without paying any attention to him, then activated the communicator and said to the other party:
"The Bat Family has made preparations in advance. The weapons and monitoring systems in the laboratory have been moved. The 'Advent Day' plan may have been leaked!
You guys should prevent being attacked by the Bat-Family and send people to take over the Batcave.
I'll be there right away."
"No, Scarlet Knight."
A very attractive but cold female voice responded:
"Come back to Arkham. I have a mission for you. Bane will handle the Batcave. They have already set off."
The Scarlet Knight did not argue with the order.
He strode to the broken window like an indifferent war machine and grabbed the gangway 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 back, don't do anything stupid!"
"I can indeed turn back..."
Jason Todd held onto the gangway and let the helicopter take him into the air. The moment he left, he said to Lucius without even turning his head:
"But I don't want to do that."
"Enjoy your last day, sir. The destruction of all good and evil is at hand."
