Chapter 2074 Knight’s Night of Fright (18)

Peter told Poison Ivy and Gordon his guess. Gordon hesitated and said, "I don't know much about magic and the like, but I do know that Batman has several magical partners, such as before.

Ms. Prince who came to Gotham."

"It's definitely too late to go to Metropolis now." Poison Ivy shook her head and said, "Let's not talk about the closure of Gotham Airport. Metropolis has never welcomed Gothamites, so we can only hope for ourselves."

After she sighed, she thought for a moment and said: "What I use is not orthodox magic, but more like the power given by God. There are some super criminals with magic in Arkham Asylum, but they always come and go without a trace.

It’s hard to find the trace.”

"What about other magical superheroes?"

Peter touched his chin and said, "If I had known better, I would have copied Batman's address book. I'm afraid we would have to go back to Gotham again."

"Batman is looking for you!" Poison Ivy said in a more serious tone: "You also said that this was Batman's original plan, and your actions have completely disrupted the situation. You know what will happen if you are caught by Batman.

as a result of!"

"No, you are wrong. If he finds out what I am doing, he will definitely find that there is no conflict between us at all. I have not hurt anyone, and we need each other's help now."

"You don't want to go back to find him, do you?!"

"I think so too."

Before Batman could chase Peter out of Gotham, a new round of riots broke out in Gotham City. Without him, Scarecrow and Penguin started fighting.

While Batman was tracking Peter in the Batmobile, he received news from Nightwing. Scarecrow led his remaining men and fought with Penguin's remaining gangsters on the Stagg Group's airship on Fund Island.

Nightwing heard gunshots on his way to the clock tower and knew he had to notify Batman.

Batman drove the Batmobile all the way to Fund Island and saw the Stagg Group's airship in the distance. He switched the channel to Stagg's monitoring equipment.

"Klein! It was you who violated the agreement first!" Penguin's furious voice appeared on the surveillance channel, "Don't think I don't know. You instructed that boy named Peter Parker to get me and the army from Black Mask.

Evidence of the transaction, you wanted to use this thing to threaten me from the beginning!"

"Stop talking nonsense, Oswald! You sent the military to bomb Gotham, you ruined my plan, you ruined everything!!!" The scarecrow's hysterical shouts came out,

"Now you want to capture Stagg again, do you think I will let you succeed?! You have already settled it. All this is because you persuaded Stagg to betray me! Damn despicable villain!"

Batman's hand on the steering wheel paused. He didn't understand what the two parties meant.

Of course he knows that Penguin and Scarecrow have a cooperative relationship to some extent, and he also knows that these super criminals have no sense of friendship at all and will fall out sooner or later.

But now it seems that there is another hidden reason behind this matter.

After Batman reacted, he almost immediately reconnected to the Bat system and monitored everyone who could be monitored.

It includes not only the Arkham Knight walking on the streets, the Scarecrow who occasionally appears, but also Nightwing and Peter Parker in the Batcave, as well as all the bases where they stay for a short time or for a long time.

Even the most secretive Nightwing base in Blüdhaven, where Peter Parker went, could not escape Batman's eyes. Batman almost immediately understood that Peter had other plans.

He has a preventive plan for everyone, and Peter is no exception. The spider sense is a troublesome thing, but it is not completely insurmountable. As long as you prepare in advance, it is not difficult to control him.

But there were too many unexpected things tonight. Perhaps the clown virus and fear gas did have some impact. Peter Parker ran away, and the original plan could not be implemented. He had to think about what to do next.

But first, he had to deal with Scarecrow and Penguin. Batman drove the Batmobile all the way towards the airship.

Discovering that Batman was no longer chasing Peter Parker, the Arkham Knight behind him stopped at the edge of the roof and turned around, intending to catch Peter Parker himself.

Where will this cunning boy go now? Leaving Gotham City is probably just a cover-up for him. After thinking for a while, Arkham Knight locked the target.

Arkham Knight knows very well that the disappearance of Barbara, Gordon and Robin is no accident. It is probably part of Peter Parker's revenge plan. The best target for Batman's revenge is naturally the Bat Family.

So now only the last member of the Bat-family is left.

Arkham Knight has returned to his base. He obviously has his own surveillance system, and the focus of surveillance is Batman and members of the Bat-family.

With the help of surveillance and his own inference, Arkham Knight decided to go to the clock tower. He knew what kind of person Nightwing was. Among all the missing people, he would probably choose to save Barbara first.

To save Barbara, we must return to the clock tower to look for clues, and Nightwing is probably there now.

Ten minutes later, the Arkham Knight arrived at the bell tower, but only chaos was left there.

Arkham Knight found a thin thread on the edge of the collapsed table. It was Peter Parker again, and he was one step ahead of himself.

Nightwing is also missing.

Arkham Knight clenched his fists, stood there and took a deep breath before slamming it on the table.

The emotion surrounding him now is no longer anger, but a deep powerlessness - what on earth is Batman doing? How could he tolerate such betrayal?!

Sad about his misfortune and angry about it, Arkham Knight stood there, trying to find clues from his chaotic memory, but his extremely unstable mental state could not support his rational thinking.

There were no clues, no clues, he didn't know how all this happened and how it would end.

The past and reality begin to overlap, but the future remains unclear.

Finally, this powerlessness and confusion defeated him. After the hot blood in his head cooled down, the source of his anger finally revealed his true face - fear.

Arkham Knight's body began to tremble continuously. He had to put one hand on the table and try hard to adjust his breathing and heartbeat, but the panic still engulfed him.

He began to topple, began to collapse, crawling on the table and knocking everything over, and then fell to the ground.

"Batman...Batman...where are you?...Batman..."

The Arkham Knight, who was almost completely losing his mind, did not notice that a small red slime tentacle pressed the button of the communication equipment on his arm, and even thoughtfully adjusted the channel.

"Batman...where are you..."

When Jason's voice came from the communicator, Batman thought he was hallucinating again.

No, it's not an illusion!

Batman suddenly realized it. He looked at his communicator in shock, and even played the recording in vain - it was really not an illusion!

"Jason...Jason...Jason Todd!!!"

Batman began to roar, and the clown's phantom appeared again, but in an instant, Jason's voice came from the communicator, interrupting all illusions.

"I'm here...Batman..."

The eyes of Arkham Knight lying on the ground were red again, and the mucus was constantly surging. The parasite that could see all his memories conveyed his true thoughts with his voice.

"I'm in pain, I'm scared, I'm not special to you, so you won't come to save me..."

"No...no, Jason, Jason, I'm looking for you, I've been looking for you, tell me where you are now!!"

"No matter how much I have believed in you or how much you have disappointed me, I will trust you again and be the first to think of you in my most critical moment, Batman..."

Arkham Knight's eyes slowly closed, and his consciousness sank into darkness again. For him, this was a rare good night's dream, with no pain, only peace.

When he woke up again, he saw the familiar prison bars of the Batcave, and at the same time there was a loud noise in his ears.

"I never thought that you were a villain who dared to do something but not to act like one, Klein. Ha, are you okay now?! We were all caught here by Batman! Are you happy?"

"Oswald, you idiot, I really can't figure out how your stupid brain made such a wrong choice! You made us all become turtles in the jar!"

"Obviously you were the first..."

"Shut up!" Arkham Knight covered his head and yelled: "You two idiots, shut up!"

His vision finally became clearer, and he looked to both sides. The Scarecrow was on the left, and the Penguin was on the right.

Accompanied by the hissing sound of exhaust, the gate opened, and the moment a dark figure walked in, the atmosphere was so silent that it solidified.

"Did you feel something was wrong?" Scarecrow lowered his voice and said, "I didn't send Black Mask to kill him at all. I was busy burying the fear gas at that time, and I knew the timeline didn't match up if I had a little bit of brainpower."

"I didn't send the military to bomb Gotham. Do you think I'm stupid? This is my home, my base camp. If I blow it up, how am I going to do business and make money?"

The Scarecrow and the Penguin looked at each other in the distance, and both realized something was wrong. Why did they start fighting?

It is true that they each have their own secrets and have no feelings to talk about, but the plan went smoothly before, and there was no need to betray each other. Even in the end, there was no crisis that required betraying each other to survive.

"Jason." Batman stood outside the Arkham Knight's cage door, looking at him, and shouted, "Take off your mask."

Arkham Knight sat on his knees and looked at him coldly, showing no intention of moving.

"Show me your face, Jason."

There was a long silence.

Then, as if he had given up on himself, Arkham Knight ripped off the armor on his head, revealing his face.

There was a very obvious J-shaped scar on it.

Batman's lips tightened instantly, knowing that what he saw in the hallucination was real.

Jason turned his head to the side. He knew what Batman would say - he should not leave without saying goodbye, should not disappear without equipment and communicator, should not go to dangerous urban areas, he should follow the arrangements, where

If you don't go, there won't be any danger if you just stay in the Batcave.

"...I didn't find you."

Jason raised his head in shock and looked at Batman's expression in disbelief. He never thought he could see such a complicated expression on this man's face.

"I've searched all over the city, every street, every room, every place you might go, as well as the metropolis, Blüdhaven... but you are nowhere to be found."

Jason's fists clenched tightly, and his body was so stiff that he seemed to be using all his strength to hold up the muscles on his face to prevent them from collapsing.

"He hid me and he won't let you find me."

"I'm very sorry."

Jason looked up in shock again, and then discovered that Batman was also using all his strength to support the muscles on his face, and both of them were as stiff as stone statues.

And Jason has never felt so similar to Batman.

“No…wait!!!!”

The Scarecrow clutched the bars of his cell and screamed.

"He is your Robin?!!!" Scarecrow looked at Batman in disbelief and shouted: "Is everything your conspiracy?!!"

"Wait a minute." Penguin also reacted, "So Peter Parker is also... God!! He opened a hole in my chest and forced me to admit... Batman!!!"

Just as Scarecrow and Penguin screamed at the same time, a figure fell behind Batman.

Peter Parker, wearing a spider uniform, waved to Batman and said, "I'm sorry, but I need your help again, Batman."

Jason was also shocked.

How could Peter Parker, a traitor, come back to look for Batman?! Couldn’t he be trying to deceive Batman in person?!

Wait, he deceived Batman, right?

At this moment, Jason realized - the two of them couldn't be in cahoots, right?!

After Jason was stunned for a moment, he looked at the scarecrow on the left, the Penguin on the right, and then looked at himself in the middle.

Aren’t all the culprits responsible for the fear of poisonous gas disasters already present?

He knew it! How could Batman be so easily deceived!

Jason roared in his heart, and then the three of them roared almost in unison.

"Batman! You despicable man!!!"

At this time, a greedy and anxious voice sounded in Peter's ears: "Throw the blame! Quickly throw the blame! Peter!"

Peter was stunned for less than half a second, then swooped behind Batman, pointed at him and said.

"Yes, Batman asked me to do this, it was all his clever plan!"

At this moment, Peter fully recalled the fabrication skills that Dr. Schiller taught him.

Before Batman could react, Peter immediately took a step forward and vividly recounted an embellished version of Batman's evil plan.
