The track of dawn in the world of American manga

Chapter 96 48. The Riddler gets out of Gotham, please--[3150]

"Oh my god! Mr. J"

On a tree outside Arkham Asylum, Dr. Harley Quinzel, who was placed here by Poison Ivy, saw through the telescope the scene where the Joker was executed by Mason.

The corner of her mouth twitched.

On the one hand, the nightmare in her heart was finally over.

Finally, she no longer had to worry about being hurt by Zhou Keer.

But on the other hand, a strange sense of loss arose in Dr. Harley's heart.

It's like a possibility has been lost forever in life.

This strange emotion caused a relaxed yet regretful smile to appear on Dr. Harley's face. The smile slowly widened and finally formed a weird grin.

"Whatever, the old life is over and my life has entered a new stage."

Harley Quinzel moved her body and took off her tattered doctor's robe and threw it away. She thought about it and said:

"How about changing your name to celebrate your new life?"

Then she saw a black warrior holding his stomach and escaping from Arkham. Harley was startled and grabbed the baseball bat beside her that Poison Ivy had left for her to defend herself.

She licked her lips.

Staring at the fleeing warrior, the strange impulse that had been suppressed by the demulcent rose again in his heart.

"How about calling her Harley Quinn? Queen, that sounds great."

Thinking this, she jumped down from the tree branch with cheers and screams, and like a predatory cat, she swung a baseball bat and hit the warrior who raised his head.

Bang

It sounded like a bullet cracking your skull.

Blood splattered everywhere.

——

Arkham Asylum is still burning.

No one knows which genius set the entire old building on fire in the chaos, and the battle between the Bat Family and the League of Assassins left them no time to put out the growing flames.

The entire building on the ground has been burned into a dazzling torch in the night.

But the battle is not over yet.

On the roof of the only building that was still safe, the final fierce battle continued.

Batman VS Bat Cub, Catwoman VS Thalia.

It was almost like two fateful duels, with two spectators hiding aside.

"Don't move. Look, you've been beaten into shit."

Mason took off the young man's deformed and twisted helmet, waved and threw a bat tranquilizer into Grayson's neck, trying to calm down the excited guy.

"Go and separate them!"

Nightwing didn't care about his injuries at all.

He grabbed Mason's hand and pointed tremblingly at Batman and the Scarlet Knight, who were fighting for life and death.

The master obviously felt very guilty about Jason Todd, so he was a little restrained during the fight, but on the other hand, the furious Scarlet Knight wielded two pistols and used a very cool "gun fighting technique", which was almost fatal.

Perhaps the former second-generation Robin was still lacking when facing Batman, but the hard work of being trained by the King of Assassins himself in the League of Assassins for a year and a half has made up for his shortcomings.

He also has the advantage of completely breaking the bottom line of the Bat Family and no longer uses death as his shackles to limit his destructive power.

"Mason! Separate them! Please."

Nightwing prayed.

But Mason didn't even look over there.

He took out the first aid kit and bandaged Dick Grayson's wounds in this miserable and chaotic place, his movements as accurate and perfect as ever.

He said:

"I have already helped them handle the most troublesome part. The next step is the exchange between the guilty father and the rebellious child. I still say the same thing.

We'd better stay out of it.

Bruce will take care of it.

He has made mistakes twice and it is time for him to learn a lesson."

The bat sedative was taking effect, and Nightwing felt a wave of dizziness coming over him.

He leaned against the wall and watched Mason quickly bandage the wounds on his body. At the last moment before falling asleep, he whispered to Mason:

"Thank you. Without your shot, this matter would have been difficult to end tonight. But you will be killed."

"It's okay, Grayson."

Mason comforted him softly:

"Don't feel sorry for me. I never wanted to join your twisted family. It is a life that is too heavy for me.

I would rather live a more relaxed life.

Go to sleep.

Don't waste the medicine I gave you.

When you wake up, you will be stronger enough to prevent similar tragedies from happening. Oh, by the way, I have some good news for you."

"Um?"

The sleepy Nightwing raised his head and looked at Mason.

The latter said with a smile:

"You have another little brother who needs your care, dear mother bird, believe me, that guy will give you more headaches than Jason, so be prepared in advance."

"?"

Nightwing fell into a coma with strong doubts. Mason dragged him to a safe place, then stood up and moved his body, grabbing the reloaded blaster cannon and aiming back.

"Bang"

The spinning bullets were shot from the muzzle, and the level 4 shooting skills made Mason's accuracy even more deadly.

At the moment of the gunshot, Thalia roared in the distance and stabbed Selina with the blade, which was deflected and sparked. Catwoman took the opportunity to stab the vicious assassin lady in the waist.

"Help! Mason!"

Selena, who was suppressed a little miserably, yelled.

"Coming."

The young man responded, then stared at Thalia who retreated and activated his new talent.

Eyes of Death, activate!

The world in front of him almost "suspended" at this moment. It was like the effect of the legendary "Smashing Varudo", and Mason could feel his energy being consumed rapidly.

He seized this fleeting opportunity.

He held his muzzle on Thalia and the Scarlet Knight for a moment, glanced at several important places, pulled the trigger several times, and emptied all the bullets in the cylinder.

The next moment, the effect of "Smash Varudo" disappears, and the perception returns to the normal flow of time.

"Bang bang bang bang bang"

Five bullets flew out of the gun almost at the same time, shooting at the two people in front.

The katana in Thalia's left hand, the darts taken out with her right hand, the magic accessories hanging on her chest, and the pistols in the Scarlet Knight's hands were all shot out at the same time.

In just a moment, the two people who were still fighting were "disarmed" by Mason.

"call!"

The young man felt that these few shots had almost drained his energy. He was so trapped that he propped himself up on the spot with his gun and yawned several times. He drank a lot of stimulant before he could recover.

But the two people opposite were miserable.

Thalia, who had lost her weapon and protection, was pounced upon by Catwoman with gleaming eyes and stabbed three times with her sword. Her proud black hair was "shaving her head" maliciously by Catwoman's sister, who always had short hair.

Jason, who lost both guns, was forced to fight the master with his fists.

But how could Batman, who has won the "Gotham Boxing Championship" countless times, lose to Robin who was trained by himself in the field he is good at?

Only ten moves!

The angry and crazy Scarlet Knight was beaten to the ground by the master using almost the same assassination techniques of the Assassin's League.

When a man and a woman were knocked down at the same time, their eyes intertwined.

The next moment, Thalia threw a special smoke bomb towards the ground, and the Scarlet Knight roared and pushed the master away and rushed to Thalia's side.

They rolled together and fell from the roof, then disappeared into the sea of ​​fire on the ground.

"Your son belongs to me! Bitch!"

The victorious Catwoman shouted from the rooftop:

"Thalia! You bitch, stay away from my husband and son from now on! If you dare to stretch out your claws again, I will chop them off!"

There was no sound in the blazing fire below to respond to Catwoman's outrageous "declaration of victory." But she stood on the edge of the building and shook for a few times before feeling dizzy. She covered the wound where Thalia had stabbed her twice before heading towards her.

Falling down.

A black shadow rushed over and pulled Selina back from the edge of falling.

In the familiar and warm embrace, Catwoman, whose "scheming succeeded", showed a fleeting smile, and then she calmly enjoyed the overwhelming sense of security given by her lover.

The old man holding Catwoman in his arms stood silently on the roof of the building.

He looked at the blazing flames below, seeming to be looking for Jason Todd.

A few seconds later, he looked back at the center of the roof that was already surrounded by flames, where the burning corpse of the clown in colorful clothes was lying in a pool of blood.

Even the best surgeon in the world couldn't sew it up.

Batman's mood at this time is difficult to fathom.

But he didn't know what he was thinking when Mason fired the fatal bullet just now.

He knew what would happen after the Joker died, but instead of stopping the bullet, he threw Jason down and pulled Grayson out of the danger zone.

perhaps

Perhaps this is also the answer to that question in my mind.

"It's all over."

Selena in her arms touched the crack in the armor on the master's heart, and she whispered:

"Don't think too much, it's all over. They will come back, just like they did before. They will come back to you eventually. You are not a bad father."

The master shook his head and did not answer.

Everything that happened in the past was like a flying knife thrust into a target.

Removing the throwing knife does not mean that everything has never happened, because the cracks on the target will always exist.

"Can we leave?"

Mason's voice came from behind.

He helped the unconscious Yeyi get up. The young man's body was covered with bandages and he looked as miserable as a patient dragged out of the ICU.

Batman looked at Mason with complicated eyes.

After a few seconds of silence, he was about to speak, but suddenly a huge explosion came from the distance. The fire that burst into the sky in the night of Gotham City in the distance immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

Against the backdrop of the soaring flames, a single-person hot air balloon painted green with a big "?" number in the center made of black paint swayed down from the night sky that was about to dawn.

In the green hot air balloon basket, a guy wearing a green suit, holding a cane and a top hat was spreading his hands and posing like a "superstar on stage".

It is worth mentioning that this guy's suit, hat, even shirt and forehead are all dotted with black "?" numbers.

When he saw this guy, even the usually indifferent Bat Master let out a painful and helpless sigh, and the Catwoman in his arms was so angry that she wanted to shoot this bastard in the head.

"Dang, clang, clang! Congratulations to you, the great Bat Family, you have once again accomplished an almost impossible feat in a terrible crisis!

You saved Gotham!

You saved Arkham!

You even saved me!"

The guy stood in the basket of the hot air balloon, waved his cane and shouted in a spirited tone:

"But in order to bring a perfect ending to this perfect story tonight, I, the much-anticipated villain The Riddler! will appear as the last terrifying figure that you must defeat!

Uh, is that Zhou Keer in the pool of blood over there?

Great!

Who killed that disgusting bastard so neatly and neatly?

I want to reward him with a little green flower!"

"Oh my god."

Mason covered his face with his hands and complained in a low voice:

"Can I shoot him in the head? I won't miss, really! It only takes one shot."

"Whoosh"

Batman's reflexes are faster than Mason's.

A black batarang flew out like a bullet and accurately pierced the Riddler's hot air balloon, causing the guy to scream and fall into the sea of ​​fire below.

But soon, he flew back to his original position supported by a weird flight backpack.

He shouted:

"You can't do this! This is against the rules! Listen, this is a riddle, which I carefully prepared. You must complete this riddle before dawn!

I know what you are going to say.

But I'm sorry, you have to play this game. Because while the League of Assassins is fighting you, I have taken the time to plant seventeen bombs in seventeen places in Gotham City!

The big explosion you just saw is my reminder to you.

don’t worry.

The explosion only destroyed the deserted Gotham Police Department, but the bomb to be detonated next would not be that simple.

My dear Batman.

Are you ready to listen to my carefully prepared riddles?"

Facing this malicious invitation, Catwoman yawned, took the master's hand and walked towards the stairs, saying:

"Let him go, let this guy continue to entertain himself, we are all tired, we should go back and rest."

"Hey! I planted the bomb! I'm not kidding!"

Seeing Catwoman dismissing him, and Batman actually following Catwoman and turning away, the Riddler couldn't hold himself any longer.

He yelled:

"Those are very, very dangerous bombs. Each one can blow up a building! In the current chaotic situation in Gotham, once I detonate those bombs, it will cause a horrific massacre in an instant!

Batman!

Didn't you understand my threat?

Or have you turned into a cold-blooded bastard who has no regard for human life?"

"Come on, Nygma!"

Catwoman turned around and curled her lips disdainfully in response:

"You're the Riddler."

"so what?"

The Riddler felt Catwoman's contempt. The guy who appeared like a comedian stood in the air with his hands on his hips and stared at him as he asked:

"I'm the Riddler, and what? What do you want to say? Catwoman!"

"You're the Riddler so you can't do anything! You try your best to do something that looks terrible every time, but you take the initiative to hide the clues in your damn boring riddles and tell them to Batman.

!

But he is the best detective in the world.

He can solve those damn riddles of yours in half a minute, so you can't do any shit!"

Selina replied directly, which immediately angered the Riddler.

This guy in colorful clothes waved his cane and shouted:

"Shut up! You little wildcat trapped by Batman! You don't understand the value of the word 'The Riddler'! I am Gotham's top villain!"

I'm one of Batman's most powerful enemies!

In the last villain forum's ranking of 'the most feared villains of Gotham citizens', I was only one place lower than the Joker! Every time I appear, the whole Gotham will be terrified because of me!

Millions of people will be frightened out of their wits by my riddle!

Enough!

I don't want to discuss this with you, a second-rate villain like you won't understand.

Anyway!

Batman, for the sake of those seventeen bombs, you must solve my riddle before dawn! Are you ready for my appetizing riddle now?

Ahem!

Listen up!

What goes into a dark alley on six legs and comes out on two legs?"

There was dead silence on the entire rooftop.

Only the sound of the surrounding flames echoed in the night. Catwoman's expression became strange and she secretly glanced at Batman, whose whole body was exuding a chill.

Mason next to him was also shocked.

Hello!

Was it such an exciting puzzle from the beginning?

You are really looking for death, Mr. Riddler.

The master's hand held by Catwoman was trembling slightly, perhaps because the previous battle consumed too much energy, or perhaps the long night tonight made him tired.

He called the young man's name.

"Mason."

"Um?"

"Do it!"

"Bang"
