Chapter 80 32. Now that the Bat Family has decided to fight back——[1550]
Watching the huge Batmobile fly away through the burning streets with dexterous movements that were not suitable for its size, Mason got out of the car and released his beloved blue motorcycle while thinking about Mr. Nightwing who was destined to be heartbroken tonight. A few seconds of silence.
Who the traitor in the Bat-family is is already guessed when he picks Batman up from the trash can in Crime Alley.
Although every member of the Bat Family has its own psychological trauma, to be honest, although the master doesn't really understand family atmosphere, he does take good care of his children.
Even in the Bat family, there is only one such painful experience that can make a child decide to betray his "father".
Well, it should be two now.
"Dudu"
The buzzer of the flying motorcycle rang twice, and then it swooshed into the sky with a twist of the throttle.
Mason was not in the mood to appreciate the chaotic Gotham at night, so he decided to rush to Batman's hiding place as quickly as possible. The flying motorcycle in supersonic flight was incredibly fast, and even the chaotic night scene around him turned into a psychedelic flying strip of light in Mason's eyes.
"This city was ugly enough when it was quiet, but now it boils like a pot of bad potion, and even the smoke from the fireworks gives off a disgusting smell."
He complained in his mind and hit the accelerator again, and then found that he had flown over in embarrassment.
Almost flying to the sea.
There's no way, it's just too fast.
It is difficult to accurately control the details and always fails to stop where it should be, especially for frizzy young people.
He spent a few minutes letting himself fall into the abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city under the cover of night, then put away his beloved motorcycle and put on his invisibility cloak and headed towards Batman's hiding place.
But before he had taken a few steps, Mason saw the lapel pin on his collar shimmering.
There's a Hidden One nearby!
Mason narrowed his eyes and continued to move forward expressionlessly, pretending that he didn't notice it. When he rounded a corner, he quickly covered the hood of the invisibility cloak above his head and disappeared instantly.
He wondered if the warriors of the Assassin's League had touched the area?
Or is it that this place has been exposed, and the lunatics who escaped from Arkham plan to form a group and rush directly to the Bat's hometown to give their "old friends" a big surprise?
With such suspicion in mind, Mason climbed to a high point under the protection of his invisibility cloak.
He took out the blast shotgun and turned on the safety. With the sound of bullets being loaded, combat assistance was turned on, and the floating aiming frame quickly moved away from Mason's field of vision.
This was something he had only discovered before.
The combat assist function can be turned off in the character card. To be honest, after the shooting skill reaches Lv3, in addition to long-range sniping, the free aiming box of the combat assist will actually affect Mason's "shooting experience" on the move.
But it is still very useful for "catching mice".
Especially in this situation with poor vision, the young man lay down on a high place and poured a sip of "cat's eye" potion into his mouth.
The world under the night suddenly became clear and changed into "black and white mode", and everything hidden in the darkness was invisible to him.
Soon the wandering aiming frame captured two guys crawling inside the abandoned factory.
Those two guys are very professional! He knows how to use bunkers and shadows to hide, and he shows that he is well prepared. They also seemed to know that there was a fire defense line specially set up by Batman near this hideout, so they walked very cautiously.
This made Mason, who was aiming at them, narrow his eyes because he noticed that the figure of one of the guys looked familiar
Gordon?
He escaped from a League of Assassins attack on a police station?
But who is that person next to him?
Could it be that the League of Assassins was blackmailing his spies?
The enemy and we are not yet clear, let's take a shot first and then talk about it.
"Whoosh"
The muzzle of the gun equipped with a handmade engineering silencer made a harsh but definitely much more concealed sound than a normal gunshot. The man next to Gordon fell down in response, rolling on the ground holding his calves.
Gordon seemed frightened.
But he didn't run. Instead, he stood up and stood in front of the knocked down guy, raised his hands in the direction of the shooting and shouted something.
"Is it a friendly force?"
Mason curled his lips, put away his gun, put on the invisibility cloak that could be disabled at any time after entering combat mode, fired his claw gun, and landed next to Gordon. He then very maliciously took off his pocket in front of Gordon's eyes. The hat played a "big transformation into a living person".
This scene almost gave the old director a heart attack, but Gordon immediately relaxed after seeing Mason's face.
The director's face still had blood stains and wounds, and his police uniform was in tatters even before he had time to change. At first glance, he looked like he had rushed out of the battlefield.
But Mason motioned him not to speak.
He pulled out a double-barreled hand cannon and pressed it on the guy next to him who was trying to suppress the pain. He put the cold muzzle of the gun against the guy's forehead and asked loudly:
"How did you find this place?"
"Mason! This is Tim! Tim Drake."
Gordon hurriedly explained:
"He is the third generation Robin! He is credible."
"No, he is not trustworthy yet."
Mason said without raising his head:
"There is a mole in the Bat family. Batman was almost beaten to death in Crime Alley. Why do you think he didn't show up for two days in a row?
explain!
Tim, how did you discover this base? Did you betray Bruce Wayne? ”
"I knew it."
Tim, who was pinned to the ground by Mason, was a very young man, but still bigger than Mason.
He looked to be twenty years old. Like Nightwing, this guy had short black hair and a slender figure with obvious muscles. It looked like he had been exercising for many years.
He didn't resist when he was pressed to the ground, he just gasped and said in pain:
"I knew something was wrong when the Bat-Network first went down, but I didn't expect it to be so bad. Mason, although we have never met, we all fought together in Blackgate Prison.
Can you give me a shot of analgesic first?
Your shot almost broke my leg bone. ”
"The bullet passed through the calf, grazed the bone and flew out. There will be no sequelae except pain and scars. Tim, I shot it with good aim!
Don't play tricks. ”
Mason said coldly:
"You haven't said how you found this place yet?"
"I'm Gotham's best private detective!"
Tim gasped and said:
"After I realized something was wrong, I immediately started the plan I had been preparing. By observing the movements of the people around Batman, I finally discovered this by comparing the action trajectories of Dr. Leslie and Mr. Lucius. < br>
Except for installing locators on their cars, the other reasoning and judgment processes are not difficult at all. ”
"Sounds like a good reason."
Mason took back his pistol, casually took a blood replenishing potion from the medicine belt on his chest and handed it to Tim.
The latter looked at the strange-colored medicine in his hand suspiciously, then pinched his nose and drank the thick medicine at Gordon's signal.
"Orange flavor, I like it."
The young third-generation Robin pursed his lips, then was helped up by Gordon and followed Mason towards the base.
After a minute, he was able to limp around on his own, and when he walked into the down elevator, Tim looked at the healed calf wound in surprise.
It can be seen that this young man's scientific worldview has been shattered by this magical potion.
And that's exactly what Mason wants to see.
"Ka"
The heavy door of the secret base thirty meters underground opened. When the three Masons walked inside, Batman had already put on the titanium alloy mechanical-style black suit but without the helmet.
He was currently standing in front of the wall covered with monitors. Alfred, holding a cup of coffee, was operating the backup Batcomputer with an independent system.
The chaotic scene in Gotham now can be seen on the monitors scattered throughout the city.
Although he didn't see the man's face, Mason could already guess how cold his expression was, as if the anger was burning in his eyes.
Even if Gotham is a cesspit recognized by the world.
But this is Batman's shithole, and he won't allow these vandals to run amok in his city.
"Shh!"
Catwoman, who was standing next to her and had also changed into her suit, made a silent gesture to Mason, signaling him not to speak at this time.
But Mason shook his head and said softly:
"I just came back from Arkham. The bad news is that the League of Assassins has reached an agreement with the mental patients there. With the efficiency of their actions, the entire super villains in Arkham Asylum have probably become the Assassins who are causing trouble in the city. Pioneer.
They may soon enter the city, and Gotham is about to be destroyed.
But that's not the scariest thing.
The League of Assassins releases these bastards just to attract the attention of you and your warriors. They are also secretly preparing more dangerous things.
That ‘Advent’ plan.”
"Barbara has always been responsible for deciphering those messages."
Butler Alfred said softly.
The old man who had experienced the war and was a top spy had obviously guessed some terrible truths. He glanced at Bruce Wayne and did not choose to continue.
After nearly ten seconds of silence, Batman finally spoke.
He turned his back to the three Masons and put on his own helmet. After the helmet made of special titanium alloy was buckled on his head, its mechanically driven armor plates were also moving to adjust the specifications to better fit Batman. face and neck.
Finally, with a slight snapping sound, the cold-style war helmet and the body of the war armor were completely connected together to become an unshakable whole.
This action also seems to represent some kind of choice for Batman.
The old man said in his trademark hoarse and cold voice:
"Tim, I need you to risk leaving Gotham City and heading to Central City, enter Star Labs as quickly as possible to find Dr. Silas Stone, and borrow his professional equipment there to reset and secure communications with the Justice League Watchtower. .
I need members of the Justice League to intervene in this situation. ”
"Don't you have a special response mechanism or something like that?"
Mason said suspiciously:
"Even with Superman's super hearing, he should be able to rush over as soon as possible when something goes wrong in Gotham, right? After all, you two have such a good relationship"
"I can't tell you the answer yet, Mason."
The master shook his head and said:
"All I can say is that the Justice League is responsible for a very important matter. Compared with the seriousness of that matter, everything that is happening in Gotham is not worth mentioning.
We reset our team's behavior a few months ago.
Unless a member actively requests it, other members will not intervene in similar situations. But now it seems that this new behavior pattern has been exploited by Lei Xiaogu. ”
"How should I get there?"
Tim Drake, the third-generation Robin, is not afraid, but he will have a very headache and said:
"When the original Bat Network has been infiltrated by the Assassin's League, they are already monitoring the whole city, and there is no way to leave here using ordinary transportation.
Unless you use the Batfighter.
But I guess the Batcave is already occupied, right? ”
"Thirty minutes ago, elite black-clad assassins entered Wayne Manor."
Butler Alfred sighed and said:
"They imprisoned all the servants in the manor and destroyed my favorite car. You're right, Tim, the Batcave has been taken.
They're breaking the security there.
If we don't take action, in two hours at most, all the weapons there will be at their disposal.
In addition, the Scarlet Knight who attacked Master Wayne had also attacked Wayne Tower before, and Lucius and everyone in that building were held hostage by them"
Having said this, the old butler glanced at Mason with a strange look and said:
"However, because the laboratory of the Wayne Industrial Technology R&D Department was 'robbed' not long ago, all the Batman combat equipment stored there was looted, which indirectly led to the Assassin's League's raid being in vain.
< br>
This is an unexpected good thing. ”
The young man shrugged.
He and Catwoman looked at each other and almost laughed.
"We must split up!"
The master looked at the images captured by the monitors on the wall.
He tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart and maintain the necessary calmness. He turned around and projected a three-dimensional sandbox of Gotham City on the high-tech console.
Say to everyone in front of you:
"When Grayson comes back, he, Tim, Selina and Alfred will work together to recapture the Batcave. Gordon, I will go to Wayne Tower with you first to rescue the hostages there. You have to do your best. Possibly gather the city's police and contact the nearby National Guard to enter Gotham
After retaking the Batcave, Tim immediately set off to Central City to seek help.
After leaving Gotham, we can send a signal to Star City, which is closer to us. Green Arrow should be able to come to support at the most critical moment.
We must advance our respective tasks as quickly as possible, and this chaos must be ended tonight!
Once it drags on to tomorrow, more people will die once the supervillains of Arkham Asylum join the 'fest'. ”
"I have two questions!"
Mason raised his hand and said:
"First of all, you haven't fully recovered yet! You should lie back on the hospital bed to avoid wasting my bottle of medicine to strengthen your body in the final stage.
Set off at least an hour late to make it as effective as possible.
I know you are in a hurry.
But don't worry yet. ”
The young man glanced at the silent master and asked a second question:
"I'm here with a gun, aren't you going to give me a mission? Is it because of the massacre I committed at the Iceberg Bar that you hate me?"
"There are reasons and concerns in this regard."
The master raised his head, his eyes under the more textured metal helmet staring at Mason who was unashamed.
He said:
"Grayson obviously had the situation under control, but you still chose to kill them. This is no longer self-defense, Mason, you are causing massacre.
But.
I still invite you to join us in tonight's action!
My personal likes and dislikes cannot be placed above the lives of countless people in this city. Your behavior in the past period also proves that you follow your own more radical standards of good and evil.
At this moment, you can be trusted.
I very much hope that you can restrain the cold murderous intention in your heart, Mason.
But if the situation forces me, I won’t force it. ”
The young man looked at Batman in front of him in surprise.
He was already prepared to be scolded or even kicked out of here.
He knew very well how hard-hearted the man in front of him was, and his determination was comparable to that of the most hopeless psychopath.
But he didn't expect that tonight's master would be so calm and accept the massacre he just caused. In fact, if you think about it carefully, Batman just told Tim to seek help from Green Arrow.
Green Arrow's style, well, except for the humane and quite unique glove stun arrow, anything else is much colder and darker than Mason's actions tonight.
Perhaps, as the master said, the situation forced it?
Mason didn't expect Batman to take the time to explain this to him. At the same time, Alfred put down the coffee cup in his hand and the old butler looked at the surveillance screen in front of him.
He whispered:
"Master Wayne, Master Dick is back, and he has brought Barbara back." (End of Chapter)
