Chapter 457 3. The pirate emperor’s wife’s harmless little secret
It has only been three hours since Arkham Asylum was blown up and all the prisoners escaped, but the already terrible crime rate curve in Gotham City has already reached a peak.
There have been no fewer than eight bank robberies since early morning. Cases of various types of home invasions and armed assaults have surged. The entire city's police system is operating at full capacity.
But you can't expect Gotham City police to stop crime.
Everyone is just trying to make ends meet, so don't force them to do things they don't want to do and can't do.
Except for Director Gordon and a group of his cronies who have the ability to act quickly, chaos in other areas is really difficult to control quickly.
The eldest young master was already a little tired from running around fighting fires with his few "friends in the circle". It was not that he didn't want to be involved in the kidnapping of Team K's family members.
He really has no time.
In addition, with the luxurious equipment of Team K, do you still need to come forward yourself?
What a joke!
Thank God they didn't start killing criminals in the city indiscriminately after the child was kidnapped. The young master sent four carloads of people to the hospital in one morning. By now, he was so tired that he wanted to apply for the secret of the afterlife bar. Assisted.
He also has enough reason to ask for help, because it's all Mason's fault!
He was the one who hollowed out the originally strong Bat Family, and now only the eldest and the youngest are left to support Gotham's situation miserably. It's right to ask them for help.
He did get help after making the call, but it wasn't the kind he imagined.
"Bang"
Harsh gunshots rang out in Naihe Island, and both streets in the slum became "battlefields."
A group of violent criminals who escaped from Arkham were being suppressed in an alley by two groups of fierce gunmen, and grenades were thrown in from time to time to give them a ring.
"You are so brave! You dare to break into our Penguin Gang's territory?"
A voice with a broken voice echoed outside the alley, cursing rudely:
"Put down your weapons and surrender! Boss Oswald has given an order. If you resist any longer, you will all be sunk into Gotham Harbor."
"You're so crazy!"
A grumpy voice sounded in the alley, jumping to his feet and yelling:
"Penguin is dead a long time ago. He died in the fire of Blackgate Prison. You idiot, the whole Gotham knows the news. Are you still going crazy? You can't even tell the difference between your boss?
< br>
Listen!
We are with the boss of Two-Face. If you give the brothers a break, we will leave immediately. We will be grateful in the future. ”
"What? Two-faced man?"
The horse gunners from the Penguin Gang outside looked at each other, and then burst into laughter.
They sarcastically said:
"Two-Face's eldest sister has already formed an alliance with our Penguin Gang. Who the hell are you with Two-Face? Can't you tell lies? It's obvious that you have evil intentions. Brothers, come on!
The boss said that if you kill a person, you will be rewarded two thousand yuan, with no upper limit. ”
"Bang bang bang"
More ear-piercing gunshots then resounded throughout the area.
The same situation applies to other black areas in Gotham. After the "big guys" from Arkham Asylum ran out, they found that their territory was not only occupied, but also occupied by "themselves".
Two-Face, Penguin, Killer Croc, Black Mask, etc., all look alike. They are obviously imprisoned in Arkham, but in Gotham's urban legend, they seem to have never left.
What the hell is going on?
Where do these fakes, whose behavior is more vicious than mine, come from? Could it be that it popped up from another world? This Gotham City is really becoming more and more magical. Have old guys like me become outdated and unable to keep up with the version?
"Say it again! What happened in the district of Odsburg?"
Commissioner Gordon heard the branch report while sitting in a speeding police car, but the content of the report made him, a middle-aged man who had been enjoying dusk love recently, a little confused.
The policeman on the communication side shouted in panic:
"It was the gangsters and gunmen from the Black Mask Gang who were chasing Black Mask who escaped from prison! The two groups had a shootout in front of the police station! Black Mask was suppressed by his younger brothers and asked to enter the police station for refuge!
< br>
In addition, the escaped Riddler has been confirmed to have been seriously injured by a bomb and was sent to Thomas and Martha Charity Hospital for emergency treatment. According to reports from eyewitness informants, it was the Riddler's bomb that injured the Riddler. ”
"Asshole! I asked you to report the situation, not to tell you tongue twisters! Why don't you go to the talent show on Gotham's big stage if you are so good at rapping? Say it again, make it clear this time."
Director Gordon was furious.
He scolded:
"Also, why are there two black masks? One of them took refuge in the police station? It must be a conspiracy of cunning criminals, he is not allowed to come in!"
"Uh, no need, Director."
The sound of gunfire on the other side of the phone weakened a lot. After a few seconds, the police officer took a deep breath and reported:
"Black Mask, who escaped from prison, has just been shot to death by the Black Mask Gang. His head exploded. The gunmen are leaving, and we can just go out and help him collect his body."
"What the hell is going on"
"Boom"
Before Gordon could finish his scolding, a loud bang exploded on the street in front of him.
The burst of flames instantly engulfed three police cars, and then a few black figures descended from the sky on some kind of flying wing on the panicked and chaotic streets. They checked the nearby terrain and reported to their superiors next to the blown-up vehicle. ：
"The moving location of the Blackness of Decay has been captured and is entering the city sewers to be captured. We are ready to provide support at any time."
After saying that, several men in black opened the sewer entrance and filed in.
In the already chaotic Gotham City, this explosion did not seem so surprising, and the police and superheroes who were tied up all over the city had no time to pay attention to it.
But more than ten seconds later, the overturned police car suddenly made movement.
Amidst the harsh sound of metal tearing, Director Gordon, who was in a black and gray state and was in a state of embarrassment, kicked open the twisted door, climbed out of the car unscathed, and took out several seriously injured police officers and put them on the ground. On the roadside, he contacted the police and squinted his eyes at the sewer opening that had been re-closed on the ground.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Chief Gordon kicked open the trunk of the police car and took out a box, dragged it out, opened it and took a look.
This was something his baby daughter and adopted son Mason, whom he had not eaten with for a long time, sent to him for "self-defense". It included two guns, a long one and a short one, a round shield made of strange material, and a set of lightweight special weapons. Body armor.
Commissioner Gordon clenched his fists. He could feel the hidden strength in his tense muscles.
This is his secret.
Last Father's Day, Barbara came home with a special injection that Mason made just for him, and he was now one of those metahumans.
Rather than being a superhero, he prefers being a conscientious police officer in the chaotic cesspool city of Gotham.
But now when the police can't solve the problem, he has to step in under another secret identity.
"Okay. 'Sheriff Man', go out!"
Director Gordon waved his fist in a very clever way, quickly put on the special suit and armed himself, grabbed a buckler, pulled down the head-mounted mask, kicked open the sewer opening and jumped down, chasing those The mysterious man searched underground in the city.
His many years of police experience told him that the sudden chaos in the city was inseparable from this group of strange guys, as well as the "blackness of decay" they just talked about.
What the hell is that? ——
"I have captured the locator signals of two children and am on my way to the sea off Gotham."
The figure of the Kite Man was flying forward at an altitude of several thousand meters, and the vulture and flying wings used for combat were full of power. While locking a moving yacht in the vast sea ahead, Charles confirmed the signal and reported to the Afterlife Bar:
"I need submersible android warriors waiting for rescue underwater. Judy, I will deal with Two-Face and Scarecrow on the ship. They don't have many men, so there is no need to send more people.
The situation in the city is already a bit bad. You need to defend the bar to prevent it from being invaded. ”
"Wait a minute, Charles!"
Judy said to Kite Man in the communicator:
"Mrs. Elizabeth is here. She wants to talk to you alone. Don't worry here at the bar. Hanako Arasaka has brought back all the data and information about the rotten and smelly Arasaka Industries. We can form an army if necessary. < br>
Correspondence to Elizabeth Swann. ”
"Buzz"
After the weak electromagnetic sound, the kite man who was preparing to descend heard the voice of Lady Elizabeth. The former pirate emperor who rushed over from Osborne Tower was a little out of breath, but still said in a steady tone:
"Come back, Charles. I will save my son and Barbossa's daughter personally. You must return to the city quickly. Your fire support from the sky is even more needed here."
"Can you do it?"
The kite man said in surprise:
"Did you bring the servant army here? Didn't the boss say it's not time for you to move out yet?"
"No, I came back alone."
A modified black luxury car drove from the garage of the Life Bar onto the street, speeding towards the dock at a high speed that should not appear in the city.
Mrs. Elizabeth, who was holding the steering wheel with both hands, had anger shining in her beautiful eyes. She explained to the car communication station:
"The sea is not your home ground, and I guess those guys must be supported by the Legion of Doom. Mason has a new task for you. Return to the bar as soon as possible.
As for whether I can do it or not, I am the pirate king! Charles, all the seas of the world are at my disposal.
That's my territory. ”
"Okay, if you insist."
The kite man responded, changed direction and flew towards the city, saying:
"Then I'll leave it to you."
"Bang"
The speeding black luxury car smashed into two taxis blocking the road in front of her, and cleared a street arrogantly with an extremely violent attitude. After driving onto the highway leading to Port Miller, Elizabeth passed the car communication through the afterlife bar. The relay channel contacted Osborne Tower and sent a communication request.
A few seconds later, Mason's depressed voice sounded from the car speakers, saying:
"What's going on today? Unexpected communications one after another, okay, Elizabeth, I heard your decision from Charles, what's the reason you called me before you took action?"
"I'm sorry that I concealed something before, Captain."
Elizabeth looked at the port and sea in front of her, and she said hoarsely:
"My husband left me something before he accompanied me on his last journey in the world. It was a secret between us as husband and wife.
And now, because shameless idiots kidnapped my son and the blood orphan of my best friend, I decided to use it.
I asked Jack and he suggested to me to ask for your permission. ”
"I guess you must be hiding something. It's not difficult to guess."
Mason was not surprised, saying:
"After all, since the destruction of the pirate world, you have been hiding and unwilling to appear in front of me. It is not difficult to guess that you have something wrong with this strange behavior.
But I never interfere in the private lives of my team members, so I only ask one question: Will the method you are going to use have any negative impact on the world you live in?
You know, we are preparing for a war in that world that is likely to be devastating. ”
"No, not at all."
Mrs. Elizabeth twisted the steering wheel and opened the closed door of Miller Harbor at super high speed, and then made a graceful emergency stop to let the door open.
Still wearing the camouflage uniform of the servant commander, she strode out wearing a training hat, high-top combat boots stepping on the ground and running forward, her tied hair spread and flying behind her head.
She pulled out her pistol and drove away the staff who tried to stop her, quickly approached the dock pier, grabbed a unique bone necklace from her neck, and said:
"This is just a souvenir left to me by my husband. Turner hopes that his companions can protect us, mother and son, when it is gone."
"Okay, then I won't continue to ask."
Mason paused and asked another question. He said:
"After the destruction of the world, have you contacted Captain Will Turner? Is he working with Old J now? Or is he working alone?"
"He and his ghost fleet were incorporated into the Liquidators."
Lady Elizabeth cut open the necklace in her hand and her wrist was stained with blood before throwing it into the sea ahead. She looked directly at the raging sea wind and the invisible yacht in the distance, and replied in a low voice:
"Perhaps we will see each other soon, perhaps in this upcoming invasion war."
"So, what you're saying is that you gave Team K a force that can defect at any time in the Cleaner Corps? And you are applying for punishment from me for this behavior?"
Mason said happily:
"No, no, no, this is the only good news I heard today. Mrs. Elizabeth, I need you to issue a written report detailing your current contact information with Turner.
Now, I won't interrupt your actions to save your son and Serena. My advice to you is to keep a low profile as much as possible, okay? ”
"Well, that might not be possible."
Lady Elizabeth sighed, and then a huge vortex of a super star burst out on the sea in front of her.
Amidst the panicked screams of the dockworkers behind them, a huge gray-white tentacle that looked like dead skin suddenly pierced the sea surface and stood up. It looked like the arms and legs of some giant deep-sea creature.
But just this one tentacle sticking out of the water is nearly thirty meters long. It is no exaggeration to say that this one arm and leg can sweep over enough to flatten most of the pier.
Lady Elizabeth stood there without moving, just letting the tentacles hang down and wrap around her with the tops covered with suckers and weird sharp teeth.
"Kraken"
She patted the rough skin of the dead Kraken but was resurrected by voodoo magic, and said to it:
"They took my and Will Turner's child, the blood descendant of your master. Go! Bring back Henry and Serena, and bring back the bold kidnappers.
I would let them experience for themselves how pirates punished offenders.
But they would not die, and the establishment of New Yorkshire would require many, many more coolies. ”
The Kraken made a low hissing sound under the water.
The gray arms and legs quickly retracted to the bottom of the water, and then it sank into the ocean of another world amidst the huge waves, and went to carry out punishment according to the orders of the mistress and the former pirate king.
At this time, Two-Face, Scarecrow and their younger brothers, who had no idea that the disaster was about to happen, were still planning on the yacht.
"If the news we heard is true, then this matter will be very troublesome."
The two-faced man tossed the coins in his hand with a gloomy face and said to the scarecrow who was sailing the boat:
"The Legion of Doom declares that they don't believe that the Justice League can save the world, but I always feel that we should give Batboy and Superboy a little confidence in this kind of thing.
Do you really believe Luther? ”
"Only those who believe in him are ghosts."
The crazy Scarecrow wore a rough mask and carried a black scythe on his back. He said hoarsely:
"But this does not prevent us from joining a powerful villain society. Gotham City has changed. Harvey and the Court of Owls have begun public activities. This ghost place is no longer suitable for us.
As villains, we must find a suitable path for ourselves. Well, look! Luther has sent someone to pick us up. ”
He pointed forward and shouted.
Two-Face looked up and saw a strange black submarine floating in the open sea, and the Black Manta's iconic big head and red eyes helmet allowed them to see it from a distance.
There are also two kidnapped children with tender skin and tender flesh on the yacht. This is their bargaining chip to join the Legion of Doom and seize the position of leader.
"He's waving to us, look how excited he is."
The Scarecrow laughed.
But the more Two-Face looked, the more something was wrong. The moving hands of the Black Manta didn't seem to be welcoming them, but more like warning them that they were in danger
Underwater?
"Wow"
The next second, under the stunned gazes of Two-Face, Scarecrow and their gun-wielding brother, six terrifying gray-white arms and legs sprang up from all around like giant pillars supporting the heaven and earth.
Without giving them any time to react, they wrapped the white yacht and pulled it into the deep sea with a loud noise.
The terrified screams of Two-Face and Scarecrow changed their tone in the water.
But unfortunately, the deterrent effect of a dozen small pistols against a Kraken is very limited.
You have offended Team K, but you still want to join the Legion of Doom and restart your glorious villain life?
Oh, let’s talk about it in the next life. (End of chapter)
