Chapter 85 37. Freeze! Don't leave! --【2050】
"Bang"
The small bottle that flew over in the dark night was exploded over the heads of a group of black-clad killers.
The exploding bottle caused the flying liquid to spill out in all directions. Being showered on the body did not produce a petrifying effect, but the strong paralysis caused these black-clothed killers to tremble and fall to the ground.
The terrible paralysis is instantaneous.
It's like the nerves in the body are cut off and out of control.
But it is also weakening rapidly, and they can return to normal in ten seconds at most. The problem is that in the dark, the attacker is unlikely to give them ten seconds.
Mason, who was wearing an invisibility cloak, did not choose to use a gun. There was a constant glimmer of light on the lapel pin of his collar, proving that there were quite a lot of people in the nearby woods.
Shooting someone in this situation would expose yourself.
So he chose to resolve the battle in a more brutal way.
Hagrid's giant hunting knife was lifted up and wiped the throats of the low-level assassins on the ground one by one. After receiving five melee and execution proficiency rewards, Mason took out the batarang stuck in the tree and inserted it. Back to the waist.
Throwing skills are obviously a type of shooting system.
Therefore, Mason's level 3 shooting skills also increase when he throws batarangs. Of course, the accuracy and lethality are not as exaggerated as bullets.
But paired with invisibility cloaks and potions, it's perfect for such nighttime assassinations.
He raised his hand and fired the hook lock gun and silently pulled himself into the branch. He drank another sip of cat's eye potion to gain [Night Vision] and looked around. The free aiming frame of the combat auxiliary quickly locked the next group of targets for him. .
Those people were wearing professional night vision goggles, but the aura masking effect of the invisibility cloak was magical.
In addition to physical collisions, night vision devices were unable to capture Mason's ghostly movements.
This is his confidence to stop the ambush here alone. Of course, another very important reason is to get rid of the relationship with the "three-headed dog". With the efficiency of Catwoman and Kite Man's actions, the zombie beasts should have already spread around the Batcave. Kill him, Mason doesn't want Batman to doubt him again.
"Poof"
A paralyzing dart popped out from the left arm launcher of Mason's suit, knocking the approaching assassin in black to the ground. Mason, who jumped down, held his head back. The moment he turned around, another petrified dart was shot out, knocking the assassin to the ground. The guy behind him who drew his katana was petrified.
The next second, the sharp hunting knife swung and chopped gravel all over the ground.
"Meat! Fresh meat!"
A piercing scream soon sounded in the woodland near Wayne Manor. This familiar sound made the young man frown.
Is this Killer Croc?
He met this guy when he was rescuing Nightwing in Arkham Asylum. He was almost bitten to death by the three-headed dog Maomao. Although he survived by relying on flesh and blood regeneration and self-healing, this guy should have become a zombie now. Bar?
The League of Assassins is really intolerant of meat and vegetables, so they dare to let him out to move freely?
Sure enough, when Mason arrived nearby in hiding, he saw a fierce and bloody massacre at a glance. Next to Killer Crocodile, there was the killed killer in black lying upside down.
And he himself was lying on a corpse and feasting.
As Mason expected, Killer Crocodile's originally green scales had begun to turn gray and withered, and his huge body was also "shrinking."
This is an obvious sign of zombie transformation.
It is estimated that in another hour, this miserable super villain will become a "super zombie" that is difficult to deal with.
The smell of blood was everywhere in the forest, and the other black-clad killers were probably all killed by Killer Crocodile, which was so stimulated by their flesh and blood that they almost went crazy.
This kind of efficient killing efficiency makes Mason a little reluctant to start.
If we only look at the results, this guy is definitely one of our own.
He lay on the tree and set up a blast shotgun, aiming at the super villain in front of him. When Killer Crocodile raised his head, Mason decisively pulled the trigger.
With a muffled bang, the sniper bullet hit the mutated madman's ear and exploded half of his head. His twisted body shook and fell to the ground.
But there was no kill prompt, which made Mason's face change slightly.
Killer Crocodile already has super self-healing and super endurance, and the effect of his semi-zombie transformation allowed him to take a bullet and still survive.
Mason narrowed his eyes and took aim again.
But at the moment of shooting, the collar pin on his collar glowed so brightly that Mason decisively gave up shooting and rolled down on the branch of a tree.
At the same time, the blue beam of light that hit the Batmobile before struck again, and the moment it hit the branches of the branches, it was completely frozen and made crystal clear.
Although Mason reacted extremely quickly, he was still affected by the cold beam. When he fell to the ground, his entire left arm was frozen in the ice. The coldness added to his body and made the invisibility cloak ineffective.
But the magic fire was also ignited at the same time to melt the ice.
Mason raised his head and saw a guy wearing unique black armor, a device similar to an astronaut's helmet on his head, and red experimental goggles walking out of the darkness.
He was carrying a very technological backpack.
There is a complex controller on the chest of the armor and hoses connected to the helmet and backpack. The exposed arms show a strange ice blue color, and in the hand is a sci-fi-looking firearm that still exudes cold air.
Wherever he went, low temperatures lingered, covering the weeds on the ground with a layer of frost.
This appearance and appearance made Mason recognize this guy's identity at a glance. Mr. Freeze, Gotham City's first-line villain, is also one of the VIP customers of Arkham Asylum.
His pomp in the lunatic asylum was grand.
There is even an independent generator set dedicated to providing energy for his cell, which is maintained at minus ten degrees Celsius all year round.
"Don't move! Young man."
Mr. Freeze is not as rude as Killer Croc, nor is he as arrogant and crazy as other villains. This villain who was once the world's top thermologist speaks in a leisurely and polite manner.
Revealing an aura of scholar that has not faded away.
The only thing that makes people uncomfortable is that his voice exudes the meaning of freezing everything like his laser freezing gun, so it seems very cold.
It's like disregarding all life.
"Your arm is instantly frozen to ultra-low temperatures. It won't cause you pain, it will only cause your nerves to die quickly. Now any violent movement will cause your arm and the steel under the low temperature to break brittlely."
Mr. Freeze stood five steps away from Mason. He pointed the muzzle of the freezing gun at Mason and said:
"I was forced to come to help the Assassin League, but I have no interest in killing. I just want to ask you a question. If you can give me the answer, then I can help you unfreeze and send you away from here."< br>
"Ask, Victor."
Mason lay on the ground pretending he was helpless.
However, under the quiet cover of the magic fire, his left arm has regained consciousness. With just a flick, the ice on the surface of the skin will break.
But he was very interested in the conditions proposed by Mr. Freeze. He coughed and said weakly:
"You have an absolute advantage, so I must tell you everything."
"Who cured Batman?"
Mr. Freeze did not show joy or other expressions. He still asked indifferently:
"The League of Assassins made a lot of promises to me in order to win me over to serve them. They told me that they used an incurable poison to destroy Batman.
But I just heard over their comms that Batman reappeared.
Who removed that toxin?
Tell me, young man, this is important to me! ”
"Let me guess."
Mason stared at Mr. Freeze and said:
"Are you doing this for your wife? Do you think the man who cured Batman might be able to help you cure your wife's terminal illness? You just said that the League of Assassins promised a lot of conditions to win over you.
One of them should be about helping your wife, right?
I guess they told you they could cure your poor wife of illness and even bring her back from the dead? ”
"Yes, they did say that."
Mr. Freeze said in a cold and gentle tone:
"In addition, I want to correct your statement. Nora is not dead! There is no such wrong word as resurrection from the dead. Use your words carefully, young man.
This is a 'grammatical error' that might piss me off. ”
"But you don't trust them."
Mason narrowed his eyes:
"Otherwise, there wouldn't be this conversation. It seems that you believe in the Bat Family more than those big villains who came to Gotham to cause trouble? Isn't your style a bit inconsistent with your identity as a villain? ”
Mason's question made Mr. Freeze frown.
He raised the freezing gun and pulled the trigger, and the blue cryogenic ray spurted out again, but instead of aiming at Mason, it froze Killer Crocodile, who was making a low groan and trying to get up from the ground, frozen in place.
Mr. Freeze was much more ruthless this time.
The gloomy ray continued to spray for five seconds, freezing Killer Crocodile in a large mass of ice filled with cold air.
After doing all this, he put down the freezing gun with its nozzle frozen and looked at Mason again, saying:
"You are right. I do believe in Batman more than the League of Assassins. Although I owe everything to him for becoming the person I am today, this is a personal grudge between me and him.
My wife is innocent.
So, young man, tell me who cured Batman. ”
"We used the pure blood of unicorns to dispel several poisonous mixtures mixed with the water of Salar's Pool, and it only took three days for Batman to recover and become stronger than before.
This is not scientific medical treatment as you may think, but is derived from ancient alchemical wisdom. ”
Mason's left hand moved slightly, and his fingers grasped the batarang on his belt.
He said slowly:
"You don't seem to believe this, but it doesn't matter. If you give me a little time, I can show you all this, including how I use potions to kill other pursuers in the forest.
If you go there and take a look, you will find that there are still a few stone statues left there. I saved Batman, Victor, and as you can see, I am an alchemist.
As for whether unicorn blood can cure your wife's terminal illness, I can't say for sure. It's not poisoning or a curse. Maybe she needs more advanced medicine.
I mean, I have to at least meet her first and see how she's doing. ”
"Oh my God, I wasted a precious opportunity and precious minutes of my life."
Mr. Freeze shook his head with disappointment and said:
"The answer I sought was the word 'alchemy'. Oh my god. Sorry, kid, but I have to serve the League of Assassins now.
Don't worry, this won't hurt. ”
And the moment he raised the freezing gun, Mason also threw the batarang in his hand.
The distance between the two was only five or six meters, and their attack movements were almost synchronized. However, the flames burning on Mason's fingers and the red-hot and even melting batarang made Mr. Freeze stunned for a few tenths of a second.
"Pa"
The hot dart accurately inserted into the controller on Mr. Freeze's armor. The high temperature instantly destroyed the circuit and caused his refrigeration armor to quickly fail.
Mason, who put on the invisibility cloak again, jumped several times in the flurry of freezing rays, threw a bottle of petrification potion at the target, and hit Victor Freese's astronaut helmet.
The viscous liquid that was designed to break when it collided with the fragile medicine bottle flowed down the helmet. Although it was quickly condensed by Mr. Freeze's low temperature, there was no doubt that it had taken effect.
The super villain who believed in science looked at his rapidly petrified body with a blank look.
He could have frozen the reappearing Mason at this moment while his arms were still moving, but instead of doing so, he dropped the freeze ray gun.
Before his head and mouth were petrified, he shouted:
"I believe it! Help her, I am willing to pay."
"I'm freezing to death!"
Seeing Mr. Freeze being petrified, Mason beat the ice shavings away from his body while beating quickly on the spot, and then mobilized the magic fire to cover his whole body bit by bit to warm himself up.
He walked towards the stone sculpture of Mr. Freeze, picked up the freezing ray gun and patted the stone statue in front of him, saying:
"You are just petrified, but you can still hear and see, so I will tell you to go back to Arkham Asylum to spend the rest of your sentence.
I will give you an answer when we next meet if I want to help you and your wife.
I know your story, Victor, and there is no doubt that you are a 'cold-blooded' villain, but your wife is indeed innocent.
Besides, I won't be polite about your weapons.
I need this kind of targeted special attack right now. ”
Mason put the cold-blooded firearm in his hand, made of silver-gray special metal and an "energy tank" shining with faint blue light, in front of his eyes. The character card immediately gave a label:
Mr. Freeze's laser ray gun/freeze gun
Quality: Epic engineering items·Exquisite craftsmanship

Item description: Congratulations on owning a super ice machine! Now your party can have unlimited free ice cream.
Tip:
Notice! This item uses a special engineering/alchemical liquid as its energy source, which can be replaced with liquid nitrogen if necessary but will make the Freeze Gun less effective.
Weapon blueprints and quick freezing liquid formula analysis [countdown to 232 hours]
"This is worth it even if the Batcave is destroyed."
Mason put the gun-equipped old K back behind his back, stood up with the freezing gun and made an aiming motion, and then took off Mr. Freeze's armed backpack and found that this thing was also a precision engineering item.
He shrugged, turned to the stone sculpture behind him with a pleading expression on his face and said:
"The petrification will be lifted in six hours. You'd better pray that you've been sent back to Arkham by then, otherwise you won't be able to survive at room temperature
Well, that reminds me. ”
Mason raised the freezing gun, pointed it at Mr. Freeze and pulled the trigger. The blue rays spurted out and froze him completely for ten seconds. This was the end.
He then stepped forward to take some tissue samples from the frozen half-zombie Killer Croc and returned to the Batmobile.
Driving such an expensive car for the first time made Mason feel a little overwhelmed.
But he quickly adapted. Amidst the low sound of the engine, the black tank, which broke three trees in a row but remained unscathed with only scratches on its outer armor, got back on the road.
Wayne Manor is right in front of us, and the sound of gunfire coming from there should mean that the show has begun.
"I defeated two super villains on my own, which means I should not be considered an unknown person in Gotham City."
Mason grabbed the Batmobile's steering wheel, which was covered with buttons like a professional racing car, and roughly opened the iron door of Wayne Manor and rushed into the forest behind this luxurious place.
That's the direction of the Batcave.
While activating the fire support mode of the Batmobile, he caused micro-rocket nests to pop up on both sides of the car while locking the target and still thinking:
"I don't know what price they would give me if I registered with the labor union now? Well, that big man is so fierce! Both the first and third young masters were pressed down and beaten.
That's Bane, right?
The kid Damian is actually here too?
What a surprise! ”
"Ka"
The launch button is pressed.
More than twenty-four micro-rockets, under the control of Mason, were used in a covering bombing method to include the group of people fighting fiercely in front of the Batcave into the big explosion.
Ahead, with the flames blazing into the sky, the Batmobile made a graceful sway and suddenly stopped, tearing apart the flames and then stopped in place.
The cabin opened, and Mason jumped out with a freezing gun.
He looked at the dark Bat Cave in front of him, as if he was seeing a unique treasure.
Perhaps the Assassin's League's attack was not all bad. How could I have had the opportunity to visit the master's "toy library" openly?
If this doesn't go well, it won't be a good thing for Team K to participate in the war. (End of chapter)
