Volume 2 Honoring Robin Chapter 29: The lousy people from Arkham are so damn unfriendly
Mason, who was still trying to find a way out of the chaotic Arkham Asylum, had no idea that the waves caused by his previous actions would lead to a failure of the Assassin's League today.
But even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care.
Because there are more troublesome things ahead.
While Mason was holding his reliable shotgun, Old K and his companions "sneaked" along the way and killed several men in black by assassination, and then they arrived at the lobby of Arkham Asylum safely.
But when he was not far from the exit, he heard Harley muttering something beside him .
"Is that Dr. Klein?"
As soon as Mason raised his gun, he felt the female doctor behind him quickly approaching and covering him with an invisibility cloak in a clumsy but perfect timing.
It was obvious that the good-natured doctor didn't want any more fighting.
In front of the two of them, Dr. Jonathan Klein, who was supposed to be off work but was returning, walked over silently carrying his black briefcase.
"Um?"
Dr. Klein, who looked like an urban elite, looked at the stopped elevator in confusion. He pushed up his expensive business glasses, frowned, took out a communicator and said to the other end:
"Commander, send someone to check the medical elevator leading to the underground. It's damaged! I suspect someone slipped out from the underground but didn't alert you...
Maybe Batman?"
"It can't be him!"
The woman's cold voice sounded from the communicator, and she said decisively:
"The Scarlet Knight destroyed him himself, I am sure of that."
"Well, well, it's that 'Knight'-sama again who suddenly showed up and became the rising star of the organization. I've heard enough about him lately."
Dr. Klein curled his lips, and under the gaze of Mason and Harley, who were less than two meters away from him, he slowly opened the black suitcase that he always carried with him.
He took out a crude mask made of tattered linen cloth, which looked like a scarecrow , and placed it in front of him to admire it.
Then I heard the communicator say:
"Perhaps someone else from the Bat-Family has infiltrated Arkham, and the Scarlet Knight has just sent a warning, and those young men being trained by Batman are tough characters.
You must get rid of them before Lord Lei Xiaogu arrives here.
Scarecrow, you are most familiar with this building, so I leave this matter to you."
The indifferent lady on the other end of the communicator handed the matter over to her companion. Dr. Klein sneered, then switched the communicator to another frequency. He coughed, took off his glasses, and said to the communicator:
"Teams one to five, this is temporary commander Scarecrow. I order you to immediately block all roads near Arkham and closely monitor anyone leaving here.
A ray of shooting without a pass mark!
The air team released the drone and prepared to respond..."
"boom"
Dr. Klein, also known as the Scarecrow, hadn't finished his words when Mason hit him hard on the back of his head with the butt of his gun.
Having completely recognized the true face of this "beast in human form" colleague, Harley screamed and smashed the bottle in her hand on Klein's dizzy head.
The petrifying potion splashed all over the bloody head, and the scarecrow who was knocked unconscious by the sneak attack was turned into a stone statue in an awkward posture within a few seconds without even having time to call for help.
Mason gave a thumbs up to Dr. Harley, who was gasping for breath, picked up the communicator on the ground and shouted into it with a pinched throat:
"Attack! We are under attack, between the third and fourth floors! Commander Scarecrow is knocked down! I repeat, we are under attack, by Batman!
It's Batman, ah!"
After a pretentious scream, Mason threw the communicator to the ground and stomped on it hard.
He picked up Scarecrow's suitcase and threw it into his bag without even looking at the unfortunate man who was petrified. He took Harley and ran towards the exit of Arkham Asylum under the protection of the invisibility cloak.
"boom"
Just as he rushed out of the main building, a strange loud noise erupted behind him. Mason looked back and saw a muddy "fountain" gushing out from the windows on the first floor of the asylum, sweeping across the area like a storm and splashing everywhere.
"It's Clayface! They've let him go, how crazy! My patient has been so unstable lately, he's going to make a scene before he obeys!
This is the end.”
Harley screamed, and Mason's heart sank.
The invisibility cloak is a perfect stealth tool when not in combat, but it is not without flaws. It can block breath and hide the body shape, but it cannot throw Mason and Harley into another phase out of thin air.
When they are in hidden state, they are immune to most detection methods but still have a physical body.
Faced with this full-screen AOE scene of a mud fountain erupting, those mud dots that came like raindrops quickly destroyed the concealment of the invisibility cloak and forced the two to reveal their figures.
"run!"
Mason pushed Dr. Harley away.
The next moment he was surrounded by the activated mud that surged over from all directions.
The psychopath and super villain Mudface released by the black warriors seemed to be in a bad mood. It howled and manipulated the flowing mud to create three or four human-shaped lives like "slime monsters" in front of Mason.
In the surrounding mud, there were several bodies of black warriors who were "drowned" and were sinking into the mud bit by bit.
"boom"
He quickly pulled out his gun and activated it, raised the double-barreled hand cannon, and two spinning single-barreled bullets flew out of the muzzle and accurately blew up the head of the nearest mud man.
But the other mud people burst into laughter.
They sneered at Mason one by one as if reciting a line:
"To attack slime with steel is like to put out fire with wood! Pathetic rat, useless, useless!"
These guys pounced on Mason, and the mud flowing on the ground also bound the young man's feet. The faceless mud people howled and approached.
Their faces covered with mud are constantly trying to shape a real face.
They shouted in unison:
"Your face belongs to me!"
"Are bullets really useless?"
Mason opened the barrel of the hand cannon with a click and stuffed two golden bullets into it. He snorted and said:
"How about you all feel it again with your heart?"
The mud monsters were stunned for a moment, and then they felt a strange force quickly erupting in their shared mud bodies.
The extremely cold aura was like the roar of evil spirits in twisted souls, and the weakness imposed on them made them retreat in even greater fear.
The cursed metal shot by Mason stayed in a certain part of the mud pit, and the final curse from the destroyed empire caused the clones of this seemingly invincible mud monster to explode one after another.
It's been weakened.
magic!
It's evil magic!
"Ah! Freak! Another magical freak!"
Clayface was enraged by the vicious attack.
It screamed and swung its fists, stretching its arms like a rubber man and turning them into sledgehammers to smash at the fleeing Mason. The young man rolled on the ground to avoid the blow and grabbed the penguin umbrella when he stood up.
Although the bulletproof canopy has not been repaired, the weapon's other functions are intact.
As Mudface was about to smash Mason to death with a hammer, a raging fire spewed out from the raised tip of the umbrella. In the boiling flames, any mud that approached was quickly burned dry and solidified, causing the cursed super villain to scream in pain and retreat in panic.
"Whoosh"
Mason shot the talon gun high up, quickly escaping from Mudface's attack range.
He landed on the balcony on the third floor of Arkham and glanced down. Through the night vision goggles of his helmet, he could see a small car had started and was rushing towards Gotham.
Dr. Harley was out of danger.
This made the young man feel relieved. Now he just needed to release the flying motorcycle and escape before the group of freed super villains arrived.
But the process was obviously not so smooth.
"Meat!"
Amidst the shrill, whimpering roar, an entire wall was shattered.
Also flying out were the remains of several black-clad warriors. Amid the flying bricks and tiles, there was a hair-numbing chewing sound and the vibration of bones being crushed.
Mason had just thrown out the flying motorcycle when he saw the monster wearing prison uniform, who was over three meters tall, covered with green scales and had a big tail, striding towards him.
A pair of cold and sinister eyes on the crocodile-like face stared at him intently, while the mouth full of sharp teeth was still chewing, with clumps of sticky flesh falling from the corners of the mouth.
"Meat……"
The guy shouted in a hoarse voice and rushed over roaring without giving Mason any time to react.
The young man did not fire the gun.
He recognized it as Killer Croc, the most famous violent and manic villain in Gotham. Bullets had little effect on it and would only make it angry.
But it doesn’t matter!
Mason has other ways to "entertain guests" besides bullets.
"Come say hello to my puppy."
When Killer Croc rushed to ten meters in front of Mason, the briefcase that he never left behind was thrown to the ground and the young man kicked the switch of the Traceless Extension Spell.
The next second, with an even crazier and more shrill roar, the huge zombie three-headed dog Maomao jumped out of the suitcase.
Its scarlet eyes instantly spotted the Killer Croc that was rushing towards it and still shouting.
Killer Croc, who was eager to eat "fresh meat", was also stunned by the sudden appearance of a giant beast with three huge heads, lying there with its height touching the ceiling.
Its poor brain immediately realized that rushing towards this formidable giant beast with its size was an act of suicide.
So it began to "brake suddenly" in the charge that could no longer be stopped.
To be honest, this scene is a bit funny.
A huge crocodile-like monster was wagging its tail frantically trying to stop itself, while the three-headed dog in front of it was almost completely squeezed in the narrow balcony corridor and couldn't even stretch its legs.
But that doesn't stop its three big heads from opening their bloody mouths towards the "fresh meat" that's delivered to its door.
"puff"
The moment the astonishing huge mouth bit X3, green blood, broken bones and torn arms flew everywhere.
The Killer Croc, with half of its body bitten off, wailed like a bullied animal, fluttered to the ground, whimpering, and rushed backwards for his life.
It no longer has the cool look it had when it first debuted.
"Good dog, who is my favorite dog?"
Mason exclaimed in admiration, picked up the briefcase and put Mao Mao, who had not yet figured out the situation, into it. He also took the time to pick up some blood and flesh samples of Killer Croc on the ground.
Then he mounted his flying motorcycle and stepped on the accelerator to rush into the sky before other evil spirits rushed out.
But immediately, accurate gunshots rang out from below.
A few sparks danced on Mason's beloved flying motorcycle, but left no scars on the magically modified vehicle, but Mason felt threatened.
There is a very powerful sniper below, and I won't be able to take off unless I kill him.
So the young man circled in the air, released several flight engineering bombs on his side to let them approach from behind, and then he picked up his pistol and faced Old K and the hidden and fast-moving sniper with his gun.
He also shot bullets in the air and blew up several Assassin's League drones that were flying towards him, but the noise here soon attracted several helicopters and they noticed him.
Suppressive fire from high altitude forced Mason to land on the ground.
Before he could stop, a guy wearing a weird and disgusting pig-face mask rushed out from his hiding place, howling, and pounced on Mason with a bloody butcher knife.
"Snapped"
The petrifying potion was thrown out and hit the butcher knife of the psychopathic pig-faced doctor. The splashing liquid turned him into a stone statue smashed to the ground and also helped Mason block several bullets shot from high altitude.
But the sniper's position has been locked.
Mason, riding on the car, dodged the suppressive fire from overhead while detonating the flying bomb. In the explosion of fire, a muscular guy with a cool mechanical arm was blown out from the third floor and fell to the ground covered in flames.
The KGB Beast...
Did this bastard reach an agreement with the Assassin's League so quickly?
"BOOM!"
Another loud explosion was heard from a distance, causing Mason, who was about to execute the dangerous killer, to look up suddenly.
He twisted the handlebars to lift off again, and then saw that Dr. Harley's car, which had just entered the highway, had exploded and turned into a fireball in the dark night.
This made the young man frown and fly low over the area.
The good news is that he didn't find Harley's body in the burning car, but only found the invisibility cloak and some scattered potions that had fallen to the side.
And around the burning and exploding vehicle, Mason unexpectedly saw several leaves of strange plants that were on fire.
The pursuers behind him were still approaching, and Mason knew he had to leave. If he was entangled by several helicopters hovering in the sky, he would not be able to escape unscathed.
"boom"
But at this moment, a helicopter flying in the air was suddenly hit by some kind of attack, causing it to lose balance and tilt towards the ground, causing a huge explosion. In the light of the rising fire, Mason keenly captured a familiar figure gliding from a high altitude and landing on the top floor of Arkham, which was already "bustling" at this time.
The bad words of the female commander just now came true at this moment, and now the real members of the Bat Family really came.
This scene made Mason clench his fists and call Alfred again.
"Alfred, Nightwing just showed up in Arkham, I can confirm it's him! Was this arranged by you or Batman?"
"Master Grayson? He didn't inform me he was coming to Gotham!"
Alfred also exclaimed, it was obvious that the sudden appearance of the young master was not some kind of "suicide tactic" of the Bat Family.
"I will immediately arrange for the Batfighter to go to the rescue."
"The Butler" reacted very quickly. Mason nodded and hung up the communication. Because of Nightwing's timely intervention, only two of the three helicopters chasing him were left, and the other one had already returned to the asylum.
He can leave safely now.
But Mason hesitated for a few seconds on his motorcycle, and finally turned a wide arc and drove the car back to the brightly lit Arkham.
He had no obligation to save Nightwing.
But he didn't want to leave him behind either.
After all, they had fought together before and had some comradeship, and although Dick Grayson was a bit fussy, he was indeed a good guy. It was not a pleasant thing to witness such a person die in this chaotic night.
Even if we take a step back, at least the body should be intact when it is brought back, right?
