Chapter 136 A crowbar
The Red Hood is an ancient villain name. It is not famous in itself, but someone once used the Red Hood as a vest and participated in a criminal operation. It was at that time that Batman made a mistake. The Red Hood played by a human crashes into the railing and falls into the chemical waste pool.
We all know the ending of this story.
As for the Red Hood confronting Qin Su, he originated from another story. Like the Joker, he also has another name, but his name is well known and is still sung in Gotham today, that is Batman... …Robin beside me.
"I know you, second-generation Robin, Jason Todd."
Bullets shuttled past Qin Su, and the distance between Qin Su and Jason was also shortening. Every inch longer and stronger was for Jason, and every inch shorter and dangerous was for Qin Su.
For ordinary people, the gun is accurate and fast within seven steps. The shorter the distance, the shorter the reaction time left for Qin Su. Of course, he can use the static force to stop time and complete the approach instantly, but in that way Qin Su can Su has already lost.
Facing an ordinary person, Qin Su still couldn't hold back. Even if this ordinary person had KOed many well-known villains, so what? Didn't Qin Su defeat super-powered villains when he was still an ordinary person?
The above is a modified version. Qin Su's real idea is very simple: to deal with a mere two barrels, there is no need for him to show any real strength.
Confidence comes from strength. A long time ago, actually not that long ago, about two months ago, bullets couldn't do anything to Qin Su. He was getting stronger and stronger.
The crowbar kept knocking away bullets, and the curved front section even broke due to the impact of the bullets. Qin Su successfully got within two meters of Jason.
"I want to blow your head open to see what's inside." Qin Su said with a wicked smile.
It was at this time that Jason threw away his gun. Like Damian, he had received training from the Assassin's League, and there was a saying among the master assassins.
The more skilled the killer, the closer he can be to his target, because they can calmly deal with all possible "accidents". Especially after the birth of the gun, the Assassin's League paid more attention to the use of cold weapons.
When distance cannot protect you, take up arms.
Jason pulled out a long cleaver from his back, held the crowbar swung by Qin Su, and mocked: "Don't talk like a clown if you don't know how to imitate. If you think I will be killed in the battle for this reason, If you distract yourself, you are making a big mistake.”
"Oh? Then why are you wearing that hood? Do you think wearing a red hood will make you feel safe? Who is pretending to be a clown?" Qin Su tilted his head and questioned.
Jason felt heavy pressure. He had been killed by the Joker once, and was resurrected after being immersed in the Lazarus Pool. He also accepted the trial of the Great Caste, and his body had exceeded the limits of human beings.
But in front of Qin Su, a high-level humanoid Pokémon who had cleared two copies of Earth Three and Flashpoint World, Jason's power was still not enough.
"Wearing the Red Hood is to remind me who killed me, and to remind someone that I am angry with his decision!"
But the quality of Jason's knife was better than Qin Su's crowbar. He opened the crowbar in an instant and Jason slashed cleanly three times in a row, forcing Qin Su to block with the crowbar. He hit the same position three times.
Then came the fourth blow, and the crowbar was broken. Qin Su grabbed a section of the crowbar in each hand and shrugged helplessly. He had already expected this result. How could a crowbar picked up anywhere be compared to the entire Assassin League? The best knife ever.
"Put down your weapons, if you don't want to die." Jason threatened.
Qin Su complained in a faceless manner: "This is usually my line, although it has never worked, and it is the same this time."
With his wrist shaking rapidly, Qin Su threw out half of the crowbar. The crowbar instantly shattered Jason's visor, revealing one of his eyes. Under the broken red hood was Robin's mask.
"Double mask, double protection, dual personality." Qin Su said with a joking smile.
Jason was furious when his "true face" was revealed. He attacked Qin Su crazily, but Qin Su resisted with difficulty with the remaining half.
"I'm going to kill you!"
Qin Su kept talking. He was wearing a vest anyway, and he dared to say anything now: "Jason Todd, you gave up your identity as Robin, broke with Batman, and chose to put on the Red Hood to vent your anger on criminals and enemies. You have nowhere to vent your anger.
But these cannot satisfy you, they will only make the flames of anger burn more intensely, so you become more and more irritable. Your reason makes you realize that you are falling into the abyss, so you run here. You are looking for He, your inner demon, you are trying to free yourself by killing your inner demon. ”
Although Jason said before the fight that he would not be affected by verbal attacks, he was wrong, so wrong!
Qin Su's words were sharper than any weapon, and there was no armor that could withstand them. Every heart-breaking word was like a sharp knife piercing Jason's heart. His offensive became more fierce and full of holes.
Qin Su caught his flaw and easily knocked down Jason's cleaver with his stick and sword, and then locked him with a crossbar.
Suppressing Jason to the ground, Qin Su whispered in his ear: "Unfortunately, the way you seek redemption is wrong, and the path forward is also wrong. Therefore, the harder you work and fight, the more you head towards the abyss. Fall, and soon you will meet Batman with a new look.
I don't like that scene. There are three clowns in Gotham now, don't want one more..."
As Qin Su was talking, he suddenly wanted to understand why the unknown clown took away the fighter clown. It was because they wanted to replace them and they wanted a brand new clown.
Jason must be one of the candidates. He has been pursuing the Joker's whereabouts to no avail, but caught the Joker's heel during this period. This is probably the Joker's deliberate move to lead him somewhere.
Click.
Qin Su raised his head and saw a huge cage falling from the sky, trapping him and Jason inside. The cage fit perfectly with the ground.
"I think I should laugh at this time."
A staff member who was supposed to be knocked unconscious by Jason got up from the ground, took off the cap with "ACE" written on it and threw it aside, revealing his pale makeup, blood-red lips, and drooped corners of his mouth. .
He is the boss that the laughing clown calls, the cold-faced killer.
Qin Su let go of Jason, and Jason was surprised. He held the strong iron railing and did not continue to entangle with Qin Su. The current situation was very bad, but at least it could prove one thing, Qin Su and the clown were not in the same group.
Qin Su didn't feel trapped in panic or anger at all. Strictly speaking, he didn't have any emotional fluctuations. Just like at an offline dating party, he asked the clown:
"What do you call it?"
The clown glanced at him one more time, but only once. After answering Qin Su's question, his eyes returned to Jason again.
"I like to call myself, "criminal."
"Every name has its meaning," Qin Su didn't care whether the clown was looking at him or not, "Can you tell me the story behind this code name?"
Qin Su knows this story, a story about the clown. In this story, there is no Batman and no crazy jokes. The clown is just the name of a criminal. He is not crazy and does not like to laugh. He will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. , and don’t care if there are any dramatic changes.
As the clown said, he is just a "criminal". He existed in this city before Batman was born...
Just like the sin flowing in this city!
The criminal clown took out two slender needles from his pocket, and bubbles were floating in the green liquid.
"My story is boring. It's just as long as the drive to the party. You might need a nap."
He slowly approached the two of them.
"I promise, everything will be fine when you wake up."
Qin Su watched the needle getting closer and closer to him, and his muscles subconsciously tightened, seeing that the next step was about to explode. At this moment, a black shadow passed through the moonlight and kicked the criminal clown on the back of the head. .
The needle fell to the ground and shattered, and the green liquid flowed to Qin Su's feet. Qin Su took a step back in disgust, but at the same time he was glad in his heart, it was okay...
"Barbara?"
Seeing that valiant and heroic figure, Jason blurted out subconsciously. It took him a second to realize that he had called out his real name, so he looked at Qin Su fiercely.
Seeing this, Qin Su flexed his arms: "What? If you are not convinced and want to come to the second round, I am happy to accompany you."
Barbara couldn't stand it anymore and yelled at the two boys: "You two, please stop! Especially you, I know who you are, stop tossing him, I beg you."
Barbara saw the criminal clown getting up and preparing to run away. She hurriedly chased after him: "I'm going to chase the clown. You two can figure it out for yourself."
After speaking, Barbara left the two of them behind and followed the criminal clown away.
Qin Su touched his face without facial features. He couldn't even recognize it, and wondered how Barbara recognized him.
In fact, Qin Su also understood the answer. It was the habits and small movements he inadvertently developed in his daily life. Barbara carefully remembered the characteristics of each person.
"No wonder the entire Bat family except Damian has been "rided" by Sister Ba. She is really a good woman." Qin Su was filled with emotion.
Jason also came to his senses at this time. Barbara knew the questioner, was he one of them? Is that why he knows his identity and past?
The two of them were in the same cage, and Jason's mask was broken. Qin Su could easily guess Jason's mental activities through the changes in his expression.
Qin Su sneered: "Pfft, yes, I am indeed on Barbara's side, but it is you. You may stand against us at any time."
Seeing that Jason still wanted to refute, Qin Su continued sternly: "Haven't you figured it out? The clown's target is you. This is a trap for you. I am an "innocent person" who was implicated.
He wants to turn you into the new Joker, in this place where the Joker was born, and because of your identity as Robin, you will definitely become Batman's nightmare. ”
The Changhong Sword was launched. Qin Su cut through the railing with his sword and got out of the cage. Before Jason could react, he used the Horse Talisman to seal the gap again.
Looking at Jason locked in the cage, Qin Su sighed.
"Jason, are you surprised that Barbara stood up? Don't deny it in a hurry. I just saw it. Look, this is why the clown came to you.
You are immersed in anger and revenge, with only yourself in your eyes, and no trace of anyone else. On the other hand, Barbara——
Her spine was broken, her naked photos were taken, and she was used to drive her father crazy. After enduring the nightmare torture and paralyzing her lower body, she planned what she would do every day on her calendar. She underwent rehabilitation and psychotherapy every day for two years, during which time she also served as Oracle to support Batman.
Barbara never gave up the fight, she faced her nightmare and conquered it, braver than any of us.
Do you know why the clown didn't bother Barbara anymore? Because she is proof in and of herself that the Joker's theory is wrong. ”
All it takes is one bad day to ruin a person.
Because of this, those who persevere are even more valuable.
Qin Su said that Jason was speechless and even ashamed. He reviewed what he had done from the perspective of a third party, integrated Gotham's drug market, made a fortune, and used the money to hunt down the clown. Kill Batman.
And in the process, what did he gain?
Nothing.
Jason fell to the ground slumped, and suddenly, a crisp sound came from in front of him.
Qin Su left. Before leaving, he repaired something.
Jason was silent and stretched his hand out from the gap in the railing.
Picked up a crowbar. (End of chapter)
