The track of dawn in the world of American manga

Chapter 3 3. Let’s just say, my grandma can join forces with Batman to defeat the Penguin!

The top floor of the police station is dilapidated and looks like a post-war ruin, and the smoke has not yet cleared.

Although Commissioner Gordon couldn't hear the conversation between Batman and Mason, he grinned when he saw the scene in front of him and handed Batman the sword-shaped hard drive that he had always kept in his pocket, just as Mason gave it to him.

He also breathed out a sigh of relief.

The latter frowned when he saw this thing, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with the shape of the hard drive.

The old man raised his head and saw that Catwoman was still waving to him when she was carried out by the police. He was secretly relieved. Then, as a group of police officers watched in awe or admiration, the cold old man stepped forward and picked up his lover.

Beside the wall.

The black Bat fighter was already hovering there, and the unmanned cabin was sliding outwards. He wanted to return the seriously injured Selina to safety, and at the same time hunt down the Penguin who had started to escape.

But in the next second, Mason reached out to grab Batman's black cape.

"The special material tailoring creation·Bat suit cloak has been detected, and the basic drawings are being analyzed. The tailoring skill branch is opened, and it is currently Lv0."

A line of words jumped into the light screen in front of Mason's eyes the moment he pulled on Batman's cape, causing the young man to raise his eyebrows. The old man looked back at him, his eyes so cold and seemingly emotionless that the young man was extremely stressed.

big.

"I want to go too, and go with you."

Mason calmly looked at the progress bar of tailor's creation analysis that was advancing on the light screen in front of him, and he whispered:

"I don't want to work for the gang anymore. There is no future. I want to resign to Oswald in person and become a good person from now on, starting tonight."

"You've done enough tonight."

Although Mason had already acted quite sincerely, Batman remained unmoved and said calmly:

"We need you more here. I will have a talk with you when I come back."

The master pointed at the messy battlefield around and below, and said:

"This is not something a 17-year-old can do, so if you're going to lie to me about your origins, you'd better spend time making up a better excuse."

"I just want to help!"

Mason was shocked.

Pretending to be angry, he stepped forward and grabbed the master's wrist.

Also at the moment of contact, another line of prompts jumped out:

"Special material engineering/forging artifact·Bat suit fighting gauntlet detected, basic drawing analysis is in progress. Forging skill branch is opened, currently Lv0."

An unexpected bonus!

A glimmer of light flashed in the young man's eyes. He stared at Batman menacingly and shouted like an impulsive and misunderstood young man:

"I saved Catwoman! You can ask her yourself. I almost blocked everything before I made up my mind. My father, who was imprisoned by you three times, is dead. Just last month, Penguin and Farr

In the gun battle over Kony's dock.

I know my background is not good, but that doesn’t mean I can’t change my mind.”

"Maybe."

Batman remained unmoved and twisted his wrist to free Mason's hand.

The young man took a step back, then stepped forward as if he was irritated and grabbed the master's armor and multifunctional combat belt with both hands, shouting angrily:

"Bah! I still admire you so much! I didn't expect you to judge people by their appearance like everyone else."

At the moment he shouted, three reminders appeared in front of Mason again:

"Special material engineering/tailor creation·Bat suit main armor detected, basic drawings are being analyzed."

"The special material engineering artifact Bat Hook Lock Gun has been detected, and the basic drawings are being analyzed."

"A special structural engineering creation, a multi-functional combat belt, has been detected, and the basic drawings are being analyzed."

"The special material forged object Batarang has been detected, and the basic drawings are being analyzed."

The entangled master didn't see through the "squeezing out" behavior of the young man in front of him at all. He just looked up and down at the young man in front of him who was very angry because his ideas were not recognized.

A few seconds later, Batman reached out and took Mason's hand off his suit, and said coldly:

"Who you are and who you want to be does not depend on how I see it. Actual actions are more important than words. A good person will not sit back and watch others suffer without doing anything."

After saying that, the master took out the emergency hemostasis syringe from his belt and threw it to Gordon. Then he jumped up and fell into his Bat fighter. The moment the hatch closed, he jumped into the sky like a ghost.

Mason stood there "disappointed" and watched Batman leave.

Next to him, Director Gordon, who had recovered some of his hearing at this time, patted the young man on the shoulder with some emotion and whispered:

"Don't worry, he is so cold, but he is a good man. You too, kid, you helped us a lot tonight, maybe you need to rest now, your head is still bleeding.

Come on, take a shot of this.

I've used it before and it's very useful."

Mason nodded and took the emergency hemostatic syringe handed over by Gordon. The moment he injected the treatment drug into the blood vessel, another reminder flashed across the light screen in front of his eyes:

"A special compound has been detected - Batman's self-use rapid hemostatic painkiller. The basic blueprint is being analyzed. The alchemy branch is opened and is currently Lv0."

He looked at the seven special equipment blueprint analysis progress bars that were slowly advancing at the same time under the character card light screen in front of him, and he felt in his heart that the master was really a tycoon who spent a lot of money with hundreds of millions of people.

When we first met, he gave me seven advanced drawings of various majors.

Look at this level of generosity, what can a miser like Penguin do to compare?

Of course, on the surface, he still had to look disappointed at not being recognized, and then turned around to help the injured police officers evacuate.

The hospital's ambulance had received the news and rushed to the police station building, and the place became busy again.

"Director, we found this down there."

A lame police officer came up with something like a tablet computer, handed it to Director Gordon, and said:

"It was seized from the Penguin gang brother who was knocked down and tied up by Batman below. He didn't want to tell us what it was, but the knowledgeable brothers said it should be a tracking device."

Gordon frowned and took it in his hand. He glanced at the thing and saw a red dot on it that was constantly moving on the miniature map. He felt that this thing was very important, but the current Gotham Police Department was really unable to send out police officers.

I went to track it down and put the thing on my desk.

"It's the hard drive!"

Mason, who was helping next to him, squinted his eyes and glanced at the tablet next to Director Gordon, and he thought:

"Catwoman told me that Penguin made a locating device for his baby, and the hard drive is now in Batman's hands, so just follow the coordinates to find Batman and Penguin.

My goal of clearing my name has been achieved, and I am still fighting side by side with the Gotham police. No one can accuse me of being a villain in the future, and a new career plan can be put on the agenda.

It was really exciting tonight.

But now it’s the boss battle between Batman and Penguin, do you want to watch it up close?”

Ten minutes later, after the last injured person was put into the ambulance, Director Gordon finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat on a chair, letting the medical staff next to him suture his wounds.

But soon, the director realized belatedly:

"Huh? Where's the tablet used for tracking just now? Who took it? Asshole, that's an important piece of evidence!"

——

"Oswald is in the car down there."

The black Batfighter flew quickly through the dark night. Around the border of the DC area, Batman had locked the Penguin's position through Alfred's signal tracking.

As he left the driver's seat and prepared for airborne landing, he said to Catwoman lying on the passenger seat:

"Afu will take you back to the manor, where a treatment cabin is prepared."

"Something's not quite right this time, Bruce."

The sedated and very weak and sleepy Catwoman whispered:

"You have to be careful. Oswald attacked the police station like a mad man, which means that there must be something important in the hard drive that can make him lose his mind.

And that kid, Mason.

I just saw the way you looked at him, he reminds you of Jason, right? Are you going to make him your next Robin?"

The master was silent for a moment and said:

"I don't plan to train new Robins anymore. I don't want to see those kids bleed for my cause anymore. Jason's death once is enough.

But Mason.

The ability that young man showed tonight is really unique, and I think I may need to pay attention to him for a while. Stop talking, you need to rest."

After saying that, the Bat Fighter opened an airborne door downwards, and the master jumped down wrapped in a cloak.

The moment he broke away from the fighter plane, the ghostly aircraft was taken over by Batman's old butler Alfred, and it drew an elegant arc in the air and headed quickly towards Wayne Manor outside the city.

Batman kept falling headfirst in the air, and opened his cape at a safe height. The soft black cape instantly straightened into a glider-like structure, allowing him to fly downwards like a predatory bat, and finally landed accurately on his back.

The top of the stretched Lincoln moving at high speed below.

This collision made the Penguin and his goons in the car immediately alert, but a second before they reacted, a black batarang was flipped and inserted into the hood of the car in front.

The detonation of the micro EMP bomb instantly disabled all electronic equipment in the car.

The Lincoln, which was speeding at high speed, lost control and rolled twice on the street like a drunk snake before hitting a fire hydrant on the street.

"Bang"

The car door was violently kicked open, and four or five gangsters armed with submachine guns jumped out and shot at Batman in a daze. The old man who swung over from the telephone pole attacked and punched Batman one after another with the fear of close combat.

fall.

It was simply a one-sided massacre.

Wearing a black tuxedo, a tall hat and a monocle, with a sharp and weird nose, and carrying a black gentleman's umbrella while walking, the gangster Penguin, who looked like an elegant and proud emperor penguin, took advantage of the chaos to escape from the other side of the car.

He came out, holding a suitcase in one hand and an umbrella in the other, staggering forward and running away.

Batman beat his bodyguards and subordinates behind him, but Penguin didn't even look.

But this guy wasn't just running away. The moment the master eliminated all his men and threw two batarangs at him, the little Penguin turned around and opened his Bulgarian umbrella like a prophet.

There were two clanging sounds, and the seemingly weak but tough umbrella actually bounced the batarang away.

Then the Penguin pulled the curved umbrella handle, holding the open umbrella like a machine gun, and fired several shots at the charging Batman.

But the master is also experienced in many battles. When turning his body, he uses his cloak to defend himself and speed up the approach.

"Shua"

The snow-white blade popped out from the head of Penguin's folded umbrella, and the short gangster also felt fierce, as if he was grabbing a short spear, and stabbed Batman three times in a row, but was killed by the master.

He used the sharp blade that popped out of the fighting gauntlet to block, then twisted the umbrella handle switch, causing the umbrella head to spurt out blazing fire, finally forcing Batman to retreat.

"That thing is on you! They won't let you go!"

The Penguin, who was sweating profusely, distanced himself and kept shooting with his umbrella, and shouted to Batman as if he was at the end of his rope:

"But why don't you let me go here, bat.

I can pretend this didn't happen, and I can get over there. You know, my place is the most orderly place in Gotham. I just want to make money and never mess around.

Haven't we been living in peace and harmony for the past few years?"

The master didn't answer.

The cold-blooded Batman is not a superhero who likes to talk during battles, which is part of his deliberately gloomy style.

Penguin saw Batman retreating and hiding in the shadows, and he cautiously grabbed his umbrella and kept retreating.

He is under great pressure.

Almost all of the attention was drawn to Batman hiding in the shadows in front of him, ignoring the fact that there was a thin figure hiding in the flower bed on the other side of the street behind him.

Mason, who was lying in the grass, squinted his eyes and quietly raised the engineering gun in his hand. The combat auxiliary aiming frame had locked on the short Penguin, and the preset trajectory also drew a red dotted line in front of his eyes, like a straight line.

The line falls between him and Penguin.

This is actually the first time that Mason has actually met his nominal boss, excluding those previous meetings.

"Bat! Stop hiding, come out!"

The Penguin, who was forced into a desperate situation, shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Other lunatics in this city don't understand you, but I do! I know you draw a line for us, and as long as we don't cross it you'll tolerate us living our lives in a gray area.

I promise you, tonight was just a little accident.

I stabbed your little lover, but it was just a misunderstanding. You don't know what's in that hard drive, right?

You'd better see it with your own eyes.

Then you will understand that we can actually cooperate.

Our city is in danger!"

"Whoosh"

The batarang thrown from another corner interrupted the Penguin's murmur, and Oswald turned the umbrella head with a roar and fired wildly at the other side.

The moment he turned his back to the street, Mason decisively pulled the trigger.

There was a soft bang.

The bullet rotated out of the barrel at high speed, flew dozens of meters along the preset trajectory in an instant, and bit the Penguin's hand like a poisonous snake.

The Penguin jumped up on the spot with blood and pain everywhere, and his two severed fingers danced on the ground like dying snakes. However, he was knocked down by Batman who descended from the sky in the next moment.

The bulletproof bat cape bulges over his enemy to prevent a second bullet from flying over and killing him.

But Mason had no intention of continuing to shoot.

After he fired the shot, he stood up from the grass in an elegant manner. He held the gun in his left hand and raised his right hand. As he walked towards the master, he shouted:

"That shot was my resignation to Penguin. You said, actions are more important than words."

The young man looked at Batman, and Batman looked at him.

When their eyes met, Mason dropped the gun in his hand on the ground and said:

"The whole city knows that you don't kill people, and I don't intend to kill people in front of you. I just want to tell you that Mason Cooper, who worked for the Penguin Gang, is dead.

I just want to live a peaceful life from now on."

Batman didn't answer.

While inserting a sedative into the neck of the Penguin who howled like a pig, he glanced at the two bloody severed fingers at his feet.

In the dim street, he said to Mason in a mute voice:

"No, this shot will make it impossible for you to live a peaceful life again, if you know how the gangs in this city deal with traitors."
