Chapter 80 32. Since the Bat Family has decided to launch a Jedi counterattack—【1550】
Watching the huge Batmobile go away in the burning street with dexterous movements that do not conform to the body shape, Mason got out of the car while releasing his beloved blue motorcycle, and at the same time felt sorry for the young and old Nightwing who was destined to be heartbroken tonight. A few seconds of silence.
Who the traitor in the Bat-family is, he already guessed when he picked up Batman from the trash can in Crime Alley.
Although each member of the Bat family has its own psychological trauma, to be honest, although the master doesn't know much about family atmosphere, he does take good care of his children.
There is only one such painful experience that can make a child make up his mind to betray his "father", even in the Bat family.
Well, there should be two people now.
"beep"
The speed bike beeps twice, then whizzes into the sky with a twist of the throttle.
Mason was not in the mood to appreciate the chaotic Gotham at night, he decided to rush to Batman's hiding place as quickly as possible. The flying motorcycle in the state of supersonic flight was astonishingly fast, and even the surrounding chaotic night scene was pulled into a psychedelic flying light band in Mason's eyes.
"The city is ugly enough when it's quiet, but now it boils like a pot of bad medicine, and even the smoke smells disgusting."
He complained in his heart and slammed the accelerator again, and then found himself flying past in embarrassment.
are almost flying to the sea.
No way, the speed is too fast.
It is difficult to precisely control the details, and it is always impossible to stop where it should stop, especially for young people with frizz.
It took him a few minutes to let himself fall into the abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city under the disguise of night, and then put away his beloved motorcycle and put on the invisibility cloak to head towards Batman's hiding place.
But before he had taken a few steps, Mason saw the pin on his collar glowing.
There is a hideout nearby!
Mason narrowed his eyes, and continued to move forward with a blank expression, pretending that he didn't notice it, and when he turned around a corner, he quickly covered the hood of the invisibility cloak and disappeared instantly.
He wondered if the warriors from the League of Assassins touched it?
Or is it that this place has been exposed, and the psychopaths who came out of Arkham plan to form a group and go directly to the bat’s hometown to give the "old friend" a big surprise?
With such doubts, Mason climbed to a commanding height under the protection of the invisibility cloak.
He took out the critical shotgun and turned on the safety. With the sound of the bullet being loaded, the combat assist was turned on, and the floating aiming frame quickly floated in Mason's field of vision.
This is what he 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 frame of the combat assist will affect Mason's "shooting experience" on the move.
But it is still very useful for "catching mice".
Especially in this kind of poor vision situation, the young man lay down on a high place and poured a mouthful of "cat's eye" potion into his mouth.
The world under the night suddenly becomes clear and turns into a "black and white mode", and all the guys who hide through the darkness can't hide in his eyes.
Soon the free aiming frame captured two guys crawling inside the abandoned factory.
Those two guys are professional! If you know how to hide with bunkers and shadows, you can see that you are prepared. They also seemed to know that there was a fire defense line specially set up by Batman near this hiding place, so they walked very cautiously.
This made Mason, who was aiming at them, squint his eyes, because he found that one of the guys looked so familiar
Gordon?
He escaped from the League of Assassins' attack on the police station?
But who is that person next to him?
Could it be that the League of Assassins threatened him with spies?
The enemy and we are not clear, let's shoot first.
"嗖"
The muzzle of the gun equipped with a hand-made engineering silencer made a harsh but definitely much more concealed sound than normal gunshots. The people beside Gordon fell in response, rolling on the ground clutching their calves.
Gordon seemed intimidated.
But instead of running, he stood up in front of the downed guy and raised his hands in the direction of the shooting, shouting something.
"Is it a friendly army?"
Mason curled his lips, put away his gun and put on an invisibility cloak that would fail at any time after entering the combat state, and shot out the flying claw gun so that he landed next to Gordon, and suddenly took off his pocket in front of Gordon's eyes very maliciously. Hat played a "big transformation".
This scene almost scared the old director into a heart attack, but Gordon immediately relaxed after seeing Mason's face.
The chief’s face still had blood stains and wounds on his face, and the police uniform on his body was tattered even before he could change in time. It looked like he had rushed out of the battlefield.
But Mason motioned him not to speak.
He pulled out his double-barreled hand cannon and pressed it on the guy next to him who was trying to suppress the pain. The cold muzzle of the gun was pressed against the guy's forehead, and he asked loudly:
"How did you find this place?"
"Mason! It's Tim! Tim Drake."
Gordon hurriedly explained:
"He's the third Robin! He's believable."
"No, he's not credible just yet."
Mason said without raising his head:
"The Bat family had an insider, Batman was almost beaten to death in Crime Alley, why don't you think he didn't show up for two days?
explain!
Tim, how did you find out about this base? Did you betray Bruce Wayne? "
"I knew it."
Tim, who was pressed to the ground by Mason, was a very young man, but still bigger than Mason.
Looking to be twenty years old, this guy has the same short black hair as Ye Yi.
He was pressed to the ground and did not resist, but panted and said in pain:
"I knew something was wrong when the bat network was just paralyzed, but I didn't expect it to be so bad. Mason, although we haven't met, we have fought together in Black Gate Prison.
Can you give me a painkiller first?
Your shot nearly broke my leg bone. "
"The bullet passed through the calf, grazed the bone and flew out and hit it right through. There will be no aftereffects other than pain and scars, Tim, I took aim!
Don't play tricks. "
Mason said coldly:
"You still haven't said how you found this place?"
"I'm the best private eye in Gotham!"
Tim gasped and said:
"After realizing something was wrong, I immediately started the plan I had been preparing. By observing the movements of the people around Batman, I finally found this place by comparing the trajectories of Dr. Leslie and Mr. Lucius.
Except for the link of installing a tracker on their car, the other reasoning and judgment processes are not difficult at all. "
"Sounds like a good reason."
Mason retracted the pistol, casually took a blood tonic from the medicine belt on his chest, and handed it to Tim.
The latter looked suspiciously at the strangely colored medicine in his hand, pinched his nose and drank the viscous medicine under Gordon's signal.
"Orange flavor, I like it."
The young third-generation Robin pursed his lips, and was supported by Gordon to follow Mason to the base.
A minute later he was limping on his own, and as he stepped into the down elevator Tim stared in wonder at the healed calf wound.
It can be seen that this young man's scientific world view has also been shattered by this magical potion.
And that's what Mason wants to see.
"click"
The heavy gate of the secret base 30 meters underground opened, and when the three of Mason walked into it, Batman had already put on the black suit of titanium alloy mechanical style, but he did not wear a helmet.
He was standing in front of the wall full of monitors, and Alfred, holding a coffee, was manipulating the spare and independent bat computer.
And the chaotic scene in Gotham can be seen on the monitors all over the city.
Even if Gotham is a cesspit recognized by the world.
But this is Batman's cesspit, and he won't allow these vandals to run amok in his city.
"Hush!"
Standing next to her, Catwoman, who had also changed into her suit, silenced 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 their operational efficiency, the supervillains in the entire Arkham Asylum may have become the Assassins who have wreaked havoc on the city. pioneer.
They may soon enter the city, and Gotham is about to be destroyed.
But that's not the worst.
The League of Assassins released these **** just to attract the attention of you and your fighters, and they are secretly preparing more dangerous things.
The 'Advent Day' project."
"Barbara has been responsible for deciphering those messages."
Butler Alfred said softly.
This old man who has experienced war and is a top spy has obviously guessed some terrible truths. He glanced at Bruce Wayne and chose not to continue.
After nearly ten seconds of silence, Batman finally spoke.
With his back to Mason, the three of them put on their own battle helmets. After the special titanium alloy battle helmet was buckled on the head, its mechanically driven armor was also moving to adjust the specification parameters to better fit Batman. face and neck.
Finally, with a slight snapping sound, the cold-style helmet and armor body were completely connected together to form an unshakable whole.
This action also seems to represent some kind of choice for Batman.
Master said in his characteristic hoarse and indifferent voice:
"Tim, I need you to venture out of Gotham City to Central City, enter the Star Laboratory as quickly as possible to find Dr. Silas Stone, and borrow his professional equipment to reset and secure communications from the Justice League Watchtower .
I need members of the Justice League to intervene in this situation. "
"Don't you guys have a special response mechanism or something?"
Mason said suspiciously:
"Even with Superman's super hearing, he should be able to rush over to Gotham at the first time, right? After all, the relationship between you two is so good"
"I can't tell you the answer yet, Mason."
Master shook his head and said:
"All I can say is that the Justice League is in charge of something very important. What's going on in Gotham is nothing compared to the magnitude of that.
We reset team behavior a few months ago.
Unless a member initiates a request, other members will not intervene in similar situations. But it now appears that this new behavior pattern was exploited by Lei Xiaogu. "
"How do I get there?"
Tim Drake, the third-generation Robin, is not afraid, but he will have a headache and say:
"The original bat network has been infiltrated by the League of Assassins, they are already monitoring the whole city, and there is no way to leave here with ordinary transportation.
Unless you use a bat fighter.
But the Batcave I guess is already taken, right? "
"Thirty minutes ago, the elite black-clothed assassin entered Wayne Manor."
Butler Alfred sighed and said:
"They imprisoned all the servants on the estate and destroyed my favorite car, and you're right, Tim, the Batcave has been taken.
They're hacking the security procedures there.
If we don't act, every weapon in there will be at their disposal in a maximum of two hours.
In addition, the scarlet knight who attacked Master Wayne also attacked the Wayne Building before, and Lucius and everyone in that building were taken hostage by them.”
Speaking of which, the old housekeeper glanced at Mason with strange eyes, and said:
"However, because the laboratory of the Wayne Industrial Technology Research and Development Department was "robbed" not long ago, all Batman's combat equipment stored there was looted, which indirectly led to the failure of the League of Assassins' raid.
This is an unexpectedly 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 pictures taken by the monitors on the wall.
He tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart to maintain the necessary calmness, he turned around and projected a three-dimensional sand table of Gotham City on the high-tech console.
Say to everyone in front of you:
"After Grayson comes back, he, Tim, Selena, and Alfred will act together to recapture the Batcave. Gordon, I will first go to Wayne Building with you to rescue the hostages there. Possibly round up the city's police and contact the nearby National Guard into Gotham.
After retaking the Batcave, Tim immediately set off to Central City for help.
After leaving the range of Gotham, you can send a signal to Star City, which is closer to us, and Green Arrow should be able to come to support in the most critical moment.
We must advance our respective tasks as quickly as possible, and this chaos must end tonight!
Once it drags on to tomorrow, more lives will be lost once the Arkham Asylum supervillains join the 'carnival'. "
"I have two questions!"
Mason raised his hand and said:
"First of all, you are not fully recovered! You should lie back on the hospital bed so as not to waste my bottle of medicine strengthening your body in the final stage.
Start at least an hour late to make it as effective as possible.
I know you are in a hurry.
But take your time. "
The young man glanced at the silent master, and asked the second question:
"I came here with a gun, don't you still plan to give me a mission? Is it because my massacre at the Iceberg Bar made you hate me?"
"There are reasons and concerns for this."
The master raised his head, his eyes under the more textured metal helmet stared at the unashamed Mason.
He said:
"Greyson has clearly controlled the situation, but you still choose to kill them. This is no longer self-defense, Mason, you are creating a massacre.
but.
I will still invite you to join the action tonight!
My personal likes and dislikes cannot be placed above the lives of countless people in this city, and your actions in the past have also proved that you follow your own more radical standards of good and evil.
You can be trusted in this moment.
I very much hope that you can restrain the cold killing intent in your heart, Mason.
But if the situation compelled me, I wouldn't force it. "
The young man looked at Batman in surprise.
He was already prepared to be reprimanded and 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 the most hopeless psychopath.
But he didn't expect the master tonight to accept the massacre he just created so calmly. In fact, think about it carefully, just now Batman told Tim to seek the help of Green Arrow.
Green Arrow's style Well, except for the humane and quite unique glove stun arrow, any of the rest is much colder and darker than Mason's actions tonight.
Maybe it is true as the master said, the situation is compelling?
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 monitoring screen in front of him.
He whispered:
"Master Wayne, Master Dick is back, and he brought back Barbara."
