The track of dawn in the world of American manga

Chapter 101 53. Unfortunately, I didn’t come here to be someone’s shadow--[3650]

Jason Todd was highly regarded by Batman when he was Robin.

Compared with Grayson, this guy has an irritable and impulsive personality, but his fighting talent is much stronger than Grayson. He completed all of Batman's training in less than half the time of Grayson.

.

When he was Robin, he was also a guy who could make all the villains in Gotham fearful.

Batman and Daredevil refrain from using violence.

Even when facing extremely vicious criminals, the most they can do is send them to the serious injury ward for "a little punishment." However, if they are unfortunate enough to encounter a night patrol, the criminal will most of the time go to the ICU.

Broken ribs are just an appetizer. Occasionally, a comminuted fracture of the femoral head or removal of a few leg bones will prevent them from doing evil again.

This is normal operation.

In general, Ertong was a completely "violent" before he encountered the ups and downs in his life. He may be more interested in getting "free sandbags" than in preventing crime.

Because of this bad habit, he was often scolded by Batman.

After being tricked and killed by the Joker, he was dropped in a coffin by the League of Assassins. After being immersed in the Lazarus Pool and resurrected, he underwent long-term training in the Assassin organization, which further improved his violent habits to the level of "cold and cruel".

This point.

The Pool of Lazarus can bring people back to life.

But this resurrection comes at a price.

Just look at how vicious and murderous that twelve-year-old young man Damian is, and you will know that this thing is definitely not some god-given magic medicine.

In short, on this evening that gradually turned into a rainstorm, in the dark alley where Batman lost his parents, in the "fateful place" where Jason Todd first met Batman and tried to remove the tires of the Batmobile.

This confused and painful soul started a fatal fight with another guy he hated.

He planned to use the assassination skills he learned in the Assassin's League and his superb shooting skills to form a "gun fighting skill" to beat Mason, this annoying guy, to paralysis or something to relieve his pain.

Then Mason was slapped with golden lightning on his face.

The umbrella, which looked no different from an ordinary umbrella, erupted with dazzling electricity when it was swung, hitting Jason along with the rain, paralyzing the cold-blooded killer who was caught off guard. At the same time, two more "

The batarangs flew out from the left and right and stuck at Jason's feet.

The red light flashed and detonated the engineering explosives. With a roar, the two barrels were blown apart in the rain and fell to the dirty ground in a panic.

"That's it?"

Mason grabbed his umbrella and said disdainfully:

"Did you have your brains penetrated when you slept with Thalia? You forgot everything Bruce taught you, right? Or do you think I look easier to bully than the eldest and third young masters?

"

"Bang"

Mason's answer was a large-caliber bullet.

The open penguin umbrella blocked the bullets, but Jason had obviously modified the ammunition so that it had the ability to have micro-explosions in addition to impact.

The impact made Mason take a step back, but the umbrella made of double bulletproof materials was obviously tougher than before.

Let this explosive bullet fail to break the defense.

But Jason's body strengthened by the Lazarus Pool quickly got rid of the paralysis. He no longer underestimated the enemy but took advantage of Mason's opportunity to open his umbrella to block his vision and rushed forward. He fired four bullets in a row and forced Mason to a corner.

He was standing in every corner, ready to step forward for execution.

But what he didn't know was.

With combat assistance turned on, Mason doesn't need his eyes to catch his opponent's traces. Even if he is blindfolded, he can perfectly grasp his opponent's movements.

So when Ergong jumped up on the wall and was about to open an eye in Mason's head with a bullet, the young man raised the tip of his umbrella and turned the handle of the umbrella in his hand.

"puff"

The green fear gas came towards Er Tong and was sprayed in the rain. The action looked like Er Tong actively pounced on Mason's attack.

This is probably the legendary "random archery technique".

It wasn't Mason who shot accurately.

The main reason is that Ertong is a good supporter of face!

This guy had already lost the "Scarlet Knight" suit specially designed for him by the League of Assassins in the previous battle. Without the protection of the high-tech helmet, he inhaled a strong breath of fear gas in the gap.

His mind was immediately attacked.

The dark alley in front of him suddenly twisted in front of him. In his eyes, Mason holding an umbrella became more and more overlapped with the figure who had killed him.

As Yu staggered back, he could even hear the weird and crazy laughter while firing.

But the performance of the second barrel is really good.

Probably because he had experienced the torture of death and learned the secret method of protecting his mind in the Assassin's League, he was not defeated by fear.

Although it is no longer possible to fight as vigorously as before, there is still no problem in protecting yourself when retreating.

However, the tactic of keeping distance is extremely advantageous for Mason, who is a shooter. He threw out a golden high-voltage current and hit Ergong, and then pulled out the revolver-type crit hand cannon on his waist.

Take a deep breath.

Eyes of Death, activate!

The dark alley under the heavy rain and the figure of Ergong who was shooting bullets in front of him suddenly stopped. Mason raised his gun and fired five shots at Ergong.

The next moment his senses returned, five bullets roared and knocked away the two barrels of the two guns. They also opened three holes in his right arm, left leg and abdomen.

In order not to kill him, Mason also thoughtfully replaced the bullet with a smaller caliber.

The severe pain caused Jason to fall to the ground as he retreated. He lay in the rain and struggled, seemingly overcome by the poisonous fear, and even let out a shrill scream.

But Mason wasn't fooled at all.

While holding up his umbrella as a shield, he reloaded his gun and aimed it at Ertun's head, saying:

"What are you pretending to be? If the Scarlet Knight is knocked down so easily, you are not qualified to be the secret weapon used by the League of Assassins to deal with Bruce.

A person who can defeat Batman head-on will not be eliminated with just a few bullets.

Tell me! Jason.

Are you taking advantage of Barbara?

Or do you mean that you don’t want to involve her in your mess?”

"What's the difference?"

Seeing that Mason was not fooled, Jason also gave up the show of weakness tactic.

He knelt on the ground and did not pick up the gun on the ground. Instead, he held his hands behind his back. With the movement of his wrist, two black assassin's blades, one long and one short, were pulled out.

It is very similar to a Japanese sword, but the shape is slightly different.

These two gadgets made a strange buzzing sound when they were taken out, and emitted an ominous red glow in the rain.

"Is it the Great Caste Blade that Lei Xiaogu rewarded you with?"

Mason raised his eyebrows and said:

"You used this thing to defeat Bruce and poison him, right? It's a nice trophy, but tell me, Jason! Barbara almost chose to commit suicide because of your intervention.

She is your sister!

You bastard!

You almost killed her."

"I sent someone to pick her up, but she refused to come to me!"

Jason, whose hair was soaked by the rain, shouted:

"She just wanted to express her dissatisfaction with Bruce. She has been tortured for too long! You blind people can only see her forcing a smile!

Only I can understand the pain in Barbara's heart.

I never wanted to hurt her.

I even got her water from the Lazarus Pool to help her stand up again, but she refused. Even when she made up her mind to leave this world, she still didn't want to hurt her friends and family.

But Bruce failed her!

It’s like he failed me.”

"Very good. Apart from your rebellious boy's speech, I'm quite satisfied with this answer."

Mason nodded and said to the communicator plugged into his ear:

"Charles, the bombing is cancelled."

"Buzz"

More than twenty flying bombs flew up from the garbage piles on both sides behind Jason, and were retrieved by the kite man wearing an invisibility cloak high in the sky. This scene gave Jason a chill in his heart.

Mason didn't appear to be joking when he said he might be shoveled out

"You're betrayed, poor man."

Mason lowered his gun.

He said to Er Tong, whose wounds had healed in front of him:

"Thalia sold you to me, you idiot! Didn't Batman teach you not to fight on the battlefield of your enemy's choosing? Or didn't the Joker teach you that with a bloody crowbar?

He actually fell down twice in the same pit. It seems that the water in the Lazarus Pool is really harmful to intelligence.

Or maybe you gave up on her all the time and let that crazy woman become completely disappointed in you?"

"You said this is the battlefield you chose?"

Jason faced the sarcasm with an indescribable smile.

As soon as he stood up, he activated the button hidden in his boots. With a low explosion, the walls on both sides of the crime alley collapsed with a rumble.

As Mason watched, this short dark alley quickly turned into a closed space with no door to the sky or any path to the ground. The two barrels in front of him waved their wrists in the rain.

The buzzing blade of the great caste cut through the rainwater and made a light sound.

Er Tong lowered his head and said in a deep voice with a glance as if he had spoken his last words:

"Sorry, Mason Cooper, but I'm not trying to get out of here alive today, and maybe you, the one chosen as my replacement, can go to hell with me.

This way we can have company on the road."

"Replacement?"

Mason looked at Jason walking towards him with a pair of knives in his hand with a strange expression. He fired three times, and the flying bullets were easily split by the Scarlet Knight with his double knives.

The bullets were useless and the young man backed away holding an umbrella.

In the increasingly fierce torrential downpour, he said:

"It turns out that you, like those idiots, think that I was treated as your shadow to enter Batman's field of vision. You also think, like them, that I approach Batman in order to become a member of the Bat-family.

When will you guys truly understand that the best way to pay tribute to an idol is never to be him? Worship is the emotion farthest from understanding.

Do you really think that my ultimate purpose in coming to this world is just to become your shadow?

Stop looking down on people.

OK?"

Jason didn't answer.

He was just prepared for a double-edged thrust. He knew that Mason must have other cards that he had not yet revealed, but he didn't care.

As he said, when he walked into this alley, he had no intention of leaving alive.

As for the reason

"I saw your tattoo before, Mason. You covered it up well with magic, but that vicious pool gave me the ability to see through it."

Ertong said in a dumb voice:

"You are with them! I'm sorry, but I can't allow you foreign bastards to continue to live! This may be the last thing that I, a person who shouldn't be alive, can do to this world."

"Shh!"

Mason raised his finger in the rain and made a silent gesture.

Under Ergong's surprised gaze, Mason threw away his umbrella and gun, and took out an exquisite syringe-like thing from his bag with his backhand.

He sighed and shook his head, piercing the thing into his arm. The cold blood flowed into his veins, causing great pain.

He twitched his cheeks and said hoarsely:

"You just said something that cannot be said, you bad boy. I'm also sorry, but Jason, it seems that we can't make things right between the two of you today."

As the strange thing was injected into Mason's arm, a beast-like aura suddenly exploded on Mason's body.

The reverberation of the breath in the heavy rain made Er Tong's expression change drastically.

He no longer hesitated and stepped forward quickly.

Two large caste blades, one long and one short, staggered into Mason's chest. One of them passed through the heart and pushed Mason back three steps, nailing him to the falling rocks behind.

However, this fatal attack did not make Jason feel the slightest sense of security in the pouring rain.

Therefore, Mason, who was stabbed in the heart, not only did not die, but moved his neck and raised his head, a painful smile appeared in his eyes that exuded a wild aura.

There was blood pouring from the corner of his mouth but he still smiled in the rain, looking at Jason Todd whose expression changed drastically in front of him.

He said:

"Then, please allow me to introduce you to a new friend, Jason."

"puff"

Amidst the sound of flesh and blood tearing apart, three pale, blood-stained bone claws on the left and right pierced out from Mason's fists, piercing Ertun's abdomen and chest at a distance that Jason could not dodge.

Amidst the screams of Er Ke, and the even louder noise of the raindrops falling on Crime Alley and washing away all the blood, Mason said hoarsely:

"Call me 'Logan' for the next 30 minutes! Please bear with me, this is going to hurt a little."

——

When Batman rushed to Crime Alley, all he saw was Mason lying on the ground looking miserable.

The young man felt as if he had been swept by an invisible blade, with wounds of all sizes all over his body. He just leaned against the blood-covered wall and bandaged himself with difficulty in the rain.

Seeing that Mason was still alive, the master suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

With a whooshing sound, he landed in front of Mason and knelt down to inject him with a hemostatic injection. He then looked at the chaos around him, like a strong wind passing by, or like a place where a terrifying beast had ravaged.

He said hoarsely:

"Jason did this?"

"Damn, that guy's like crazy."

Mason, whose face was covered with blood, said weakly:

"He attacked me on my way from get off work, but he could have killed me. I suspect he was just using me to vent his anger to express his dissatisfaction with you and the Bat Family.

Bruce, you really need to review the way you get along with your Robins."

"Sorry, Mason."

The master sighed in the rain, helped Mason up and walked towards Dr. Leslie's clinic. He whispered:

"Did Jason leave anything behind when he left?"

"He said he wouldn't come back."

Mason coughed and said:

"He said that his fate with Gotham was over. He also said that the death of the Joker made him lose his goal. After beating me half to death, he asked me to convey his apology to Barbara.

But he also promised that he would never collude with the League of Assassins again.

I think he may be looking for some ways to treat himself. After all, the pollution of the Lazarus Pool has a long-lasting impact on a person's sanity.

Speaking of which, how is Damian? How are you getting along?"

"That's why I came to you, Mason."

The master, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, and would not frown no matter what hardship he faced, also rarely sighed in the rain and whispered:

"As for Damian's question, I may need your help with alchemy. Interested in becoming the Wayne family's personal alchemist? Even though Alfred invited you, I feel it would be more formal if I invited you again.

.”

"Let me think about it."

Mason shrugged and said:

"Now, I need to rest. I hope Dr. Leslie can arrange a quieter ward for me."

At the same time, in the basement of Mason's cabin, in the empty area inside the opened magic suitcase, Kite Man was looking numb all over as Jason Todd was put on life support in the treatment cabin in front of him.

The second barrel was almost torn to pieces!

If it weren't for the healing water of the Lazarus Pool in his body, and if Mason was immediately given a large amount of healing drugs when he regained his sanity from the blood rage of Wolverine, poor Ergong would have been shoveled out.

Crime Alley.

Kite Man almost watched the whole process.

When he thought about the boss who was as crazy as a beast just now, he felt trembling.

"The boss's potion is so damn evil!"

Charles complained:

"When you increase your strength, will your personality also change?"
