Chapter 26 26 Cat Hunting Operation or Big Sister's Little Game
Chapter 26 2r Big Sister’s Little Game
"The way you act reminds me of someone"
It is very exciting to ride in the Batmobile that is as cool and thick as a tank but as flexible as the Phantom of the Night and swaggering through Gotham at night.
But having a chatty guy sitting next to you can turn this wonderful thing into a boring night patrol.
Mason was sitting in the passenger seat, looking at the night scene passing by through the transparent interior glass of the cabin. Next to him, Dick Grayson, wearing a Batman suit, was grabbing a handle full of buttons like a racing car. While saying softly:
"No wonder Batman pays so much attention to you."
"You mean Jason Todd?"
Mason said expressionlessly:
“Ever since I’ve been in contact with Batman, everyone seems to be saying this, and maybe you think it’s a compliment, but let me clarify, it’s not.
Mr. Robin, not every young man who comes into contact with Batman desires to become a 'Son of the Bat' like you and Jason. "
"Sorry, I just felt it."
The young master stopped talking.
He skillfully drove the Batmobile through the deserted alleys of Gotham at night, and rushed out of the alley a few seconds later, just in time to knock down a group of robbers rushing out of the robbed store.
Several rope darts were shot out from the Batmobile's weapon system controlled by Nightwing, tying the unlucky ones with broken bones to the telephone poles on the roadside.
In the end, he thoughtfully called the police as Batman and reported his location.
The whole process went smoothly, and the Batmobile's speed didn't even slow down much. At first glance, he looked like a veteran of night patrol.
"Aren't you going to find Catwoman? Are you just wandering around blindly like this?"
Mason said:
"With all due respect, no cat will wait for you to catch her, unless she wants to play games with you. But you are not Batman."
"Batman may be alone, but Robins are different. I asked for help, and Catwoman's location has been basically confirmed."
The young master activated an electronic map in the Batmobile, and soon a red dot marked the target. He glanced at the map, and then drove the Batmobile into a dark alley.
Mason also stared at the map, and after a few seconds he said:
"We're going to Crime Alley?"
"Um."
Grayson nodded and explained:
"There is a clinic there that treats some of Gotham's street heroes, and people like Catwoman, who are both good and evil, occasionally go there for treatment.
It is also the only place in the dozen or so neighborhoods nearby that provides free treatment to the poor and homeless.
The doctor has a very high reputation in the neighborhood, and the poor people in the neighborhood will take the initiative to protect her. In addition, the doctor treats his patients equally and will treat seriously injured gang members, so the gang members also respect her.
She even designated her clinic as a ‘truce zone’.
When I was Robin, Batman sent me there a few times when I got into trouble. Catwoman's injuries haven't fully healed yet, and she needs a place to complete her treatment.
There is a high probability that she will go there. "
The more Mason listened, the weirder his expression became. He said tentatively:
"You mean Dr. Leslie Tompkins?"
"Huh? You know that place too?"
The eldest young master asked in surprise.
"I was sent in by Batman and was just discharged from the hospital at noon today."
Mason held the gun "Old K" and complained in a low voice:
"I didn't expect that after saying goodbye at noon, I would come to visit this doctor again in the evening. Sure enough, my hunch was correct. It is not easy for a doctor to open a clinic in Crime Alley.
What is her background? "
"Dr. Leslie was Commissioner Gordon's fiancée."
Grayson started, but was interrupted by Mason waving his hand:
"I know this, tell me something I don't know."
"Well, she used to be a physician at Wayne Hospital and an assistant to Sir Thomas Wayne. She left the hospital after the tragedy that year, and then something happened that caused her to leave Gotham and come back here. He opened a clinic in Crime Alley after moving to the city."
The young man may have regarded Mason as a person he could trust, so he told the young man something about Dr. Leslie's past as he approached the clinic. Mason nodded repeatedly.
Although he has read some comics, he is only an ordinary fan and does not know every character that appears.
Judging from Grayson's description, the cold-faced doctor with an unusual past history should be one of the few people who knows Batman's true identity.
The fact that her clinic can be opened in a crime alley without incident is probably because of the master's financial ability.
"Enter ghost mode, bioradar scans ahead!"
As he approached the clinic next to Crime Alley, Nightwing's fingers quickly clicked several times on the button-covered control panel of the Batmobile.
The low noise from the high-speed Batmobile immediately subsided, just like the quiet sound of an electric car running.
The bioradar was activated and scanned the four-story clinic in front of it up and down, and the three-dimensional structure and the living organisms moving within were reflected on the electronic screen.
Mason and Nightwing grasped their weapons at the same time.
On the screen in front of them, the four floors of the clinic were extremely "busy", especially the third floor, where many red dots representing life forms were moving rapidly.
It looked like a scuffle.
"Catwoman is indeed here, and she brought her trouble to Dr. Leslie's clinic."
Nightwing stopped the Batmobile on the side of the road. The moment the cabin opened, he took out the grappling gun and fired high up. He also threw a few smoke bombs to Mason, who jumped out of the car with a gun, and told him:
"I'm going to catch Catwoman, you go save Dr. Leslie and those patients. If you can, cover your face. The first lesson of 'Rookie Robin Tutorial' is that this is not just to protect your identity, but also to prevent trouble from spreading to the people around you."
"Do your own thing."
Mason rushed to the clinic in front of him with a gun without looking back, which made Grayson shake his head.
Like Batman, he flew high into the sky with the grappling gun stretched, and then spread his bat cape in the air to glide to the top of the clinic. The moment he landed lightly, the Batman took out a remote control and pressed it.
Two launch tubes popped out from the back of the Batmobile parked on the side of the road in a cool way. With two bangs, two black "missiles" shot towards the clinic and exploded in the air.
No casualties were caused.
But at the moment of the missile explosion, the street lights and all lighting facilities on the entire street were instantly cut off, and the lights on the fourth-floor clinic also dimmed instantly.
This is the combat mode of the Bat Family.
The night is their best friend, and concealed operations in the dark are always their first choice.
If the initiative on the battlefield is not in their hands, then use various means, including money ability, to make the combat terrain more favorable to themselves.
At the same time as the young master broke in from the roof, Mason also rushed into the clinic from the bottom floor.
Of course, the invisibility cloak must be put on in advance. This thing is simply a sneak artifact when not in combat.
Thanks to staying in the clinic for a day and a half, Mason is quite familiar with this place. He ignored the several black-clad men patrolling on the first floor, bypassed them and went straight to Dr. Leslie's office on the second floor.
These black-clad men of the Assassin League were obviously well prepared, and there were almost no traces of fighting on the road.
The patients in the ward were not harmed. They were locked in the ward, just like Dr. Leslie was tied to his chair with ropes by two black-clad men.
Several nurses on night duty were knocked unconscious and lay on the floor in a mess.
Eh~ What a waste.
Most of the combatants were playing "hide and seek" with Catwoman on the third floor. There were not many black-clad men on the second floor, but they were fully armed to the teeth. They not only carried assault rifles, but some of them also carried samurai swords.
Mason did not shoot rashly after confirming the situation.
He put his gun on his back, and then pulled out Su Jie's Eagle with his backhand. He slipped to the end of the corridor while wearing an invisible cloak and tried to start his first "stealth operation".
With the extremely sharp Su Jie's Eagle and the invisible cloak, the process of killing the first few people with a knife was very smooth, and each provided a "silent assassination" bonus for the proficiency of fighting skills.
But Mason had not practiced fighting and infiltration systematically after all, and he made a mistake when killing the fifth black-clad man.
The sound of the gun in his hand hitting the floor when the guy fell to the ground immediately attracted other accomplices.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Mason decisively threw the sword in his hand into his bag and pulled out the double-barreled blaster cannon from his waist. While the invisibility cloak was still ineffective, he raised the gun and quickly drew the gun at several approaching killers.
The low and powerful explosion sounded like a bell, and the moment the hot buckshot bullets burst out, the smoke bomb given by Nightwing was also thrown to the ground.
Thick smoke poured out from the corridor on the second floor, and then rhythmic gunshots echoed in the dark floors, and one after another, the men in black were knocked to the ground.
This time the invisibility cloak was really powerful.
After Mason blew up the head of the last killer guarding the hostage, this thing was still ineffective. It seems that it was in a good mood today.
The young man put away the invisibility cloak and rushed into the doctor's office, carrying the knocked out Dr. Leslie, and opened the locked wards along the way to let the patients evacuate with him.
Several patrolmen on the first floor probably received a request for support and rushed into the stairs with guns, and they happened to meet Mason coming down from above.
Both sides drew their guns almost at the same time, but Mason was obviously faster.
On the narrow staircase, two large buckshot bullets fired from the double-barreled hand cannon, totaling 16 steel balls, successfully turned the four people in front of him into bloody sieves.
A few seconds later, Mason rushed out of the clinic with the patients screaming.
He put the unconscious Dr. Leslie on a chair on the side of the road, and was about to wake her up when he heard an explosion above his head. Looking up, he saw a wall on the third floor shattered by the flames.
The bodies of several burning black-clad killers also fell to the ground from the explosion, and in the sky reflected by the flames, a slender figure grabbed the shot rope and slid quickly to the roof of the opposite building.
"Catwoman?"
Mason decisively raised the explosive shotgun in a kneeling position, aimed at Catwoman, and slightly tilted the muzzle.
With a bang, the bullet shot out, accurately breaking the rope used by Catwoman to escape in mid-air, turning the female thief's smooth escape into a dancing fall in the second half.
But after all, she was an old street hero, and she had a lot of life-saving gadgets in her hands.
As she fell from the air, she fired a grappling gun that was almost the same as Batman's, making herself trace a trajectory in the air like Tarzan, and then she turned seven and a half turns like a gymnast, and finally landed steadily in the shameful posture of a superhero falling.
She landed right at the entrance of Crime Alley.
Catwoman stood up and looked back in Mason's direction, made a fierce and unladylike gesture, and then ran into the dark crime alley without looking back.
Mason took out Dr. Leslie's cell phone and unlocked it with the doctor's finger, then dialed a number. While chasing Catwoman in the direction of escape, he said to the other end of the phone:
"Doctor Leslie is injured, Gordon, come here!"
"What?"
The director on the other end of the phone exclaimed.
Then there was the harsh sound of car tires rubbing against the ground when turning at high speed. Mason grinned. It seemed that the relationship between "old lover" was indeed reliable.
The doctor seems to have nothing to worry about.
At the same time that Mason rushed into the crime alley, a black figure jumped out of the explosion hole on the third floor of the clinic. Young Master Nightwing, who had solved the killers in black, opened his black cloak and glided towards the other end of the crime alley. Rushed over.
This famous alley in Gotham City is not long, and the tops of the buildings on both sides are very flat with almost no place to hide.
With Nightwing gliding high in the sky, Catwoman did not choose to expose herself. Instead, she hid beside a trash can in a dark alley and prepared to sneak up on her pursuers.
She didn't know that Mason was stopping her from escaping, and thought it was other members of the Bat-Family who were assisting Nightwing.
Mason rushed into the crime alley with a gun in hand. In the darkness without street lights, he took off the blast shotgun for melee combat and opened the tactical flashlight pendant hanging from the muzzle. As he walked forward, he shouted:
"Ms. Selena, come out! I don't mean any harm, I just want to ask you something. You haven't forgotten me, right? I'm Mason, and I saved you once."
He looked around vigilantly and walked forward, but was unexpectedly attacked by a strong black shadow from the side.
The Catwoman who jumped out showed no enthusiasm for meeting an acquaintance. She waved the long legs of the charming man and kicked away the spear in Mason's hand. She then accurately cut Mason's wrist with her wave of her hand, and quickly pulled out the gun with both hands. The hand cannon was also knocked to the ground.
Then he clamped Mason's neck between his legs and in a series of dazzling jujitsu moves, he threw the young man in the air and smashed him to the ground.
"You heartless little guy! I thought we were accomplices!"
Catwoman, wearing a full set of tights and red goggles, pressed on Mason's chest.
She looked at the young man who had saved her a week ago with an unhappy face, waved the "cat's claw" knife in her hand, and said in a vicious and threatening tone:
"Don't play with the bat cubs! They are not good friends. Now that my sister is leaving, you'd better not stop me, otherwise I'll scratch your pretty face."
"I have no intention of stopping you."
Mason, who was pinned to the ground by Catwoman in an inelegant posture, did not resist. He said directly:
"But what you hid dragged me into the quagmire. The killers of the Penguin Gang and the League of Assassins are looking for the information in that hard drive. You can't be so selfish, Ms. Selina."
"snort"
Catwoman hesitated for a moment, shook her head and said:
"I can't hand it over to you. You can't handle things of this level. I have to wait for Batman to come back. When it comes to the survival of Gotham City, I only believe in him!"
"Why didn't Batman give it to him when he took you to therapy?"
Mason asked back, obviously doubting the sincerity of Catwoman.
As a result, the latter rolled his eyes charmingly and said angrily:
"I was in a coma for those few days, you little genius. When I woke up, he was too busy with you to spend time with me, and it would take time for me to decipher the information.
It was just an accident, but it happened because of you.
I have never seen that indifferent man be so interested in anyone. Frankly speaking, sister, I am a little jealous. Anyway, wait until Batman comes back. "
She released her hold on Mason and kicked the young man's two guns further away. After seeing Nightwing landing at the other end of the alley, Catwoman turned around and said again:
"Don't come after me, little one, or I'll be rude to you."
"Sorry, but it's me who's going to be rude tonight."
The moment Mason was released from the suppression, he took out Sujie's Eagle from his bag. Of course, he didn't stab him with the sword. He just deflected the blade and swung it out when Catwoman kicked his long leg towards his head and threw it off.
Nightwing, who rushed over, had already learned his lesson. He suddenly stopped, turned around and covered his eyes.
But Catwoman obviously had no experience with this sword. She was hit in the face by the light refracted by the sword. Even with the protection of goggles, she lost her vision in an instant. She staggered back and was grabbed by Mason who jumped up. Hold your shoulders,
With a bang, it hit the wall next to it in a reverse wall-dong motion.
"then!"
Nightwing threw a lock over, and Mason took it in his hand and slapped Catwoman's struggling hands. With a click, the black bat lock locked her hands behind her back.
At the same time, the drawings of this exquisite bat lock were also collected by Mason.
But the eldest sister's counterattack was so fierce.
His long legs bent and he kicked Mason in the crotch. The young man reacted quickly and jumped back to avoid the vicious attack.
Nightwing rushed forward like an evil accomplice of the perverted criminal who attacked and imprisoned Sister Royal. With a wave of his hand, he inserted a bat sedative into Catwoman's neck, causing the struggling wild cat to finally calm down.
“Happy to work with!”
The eldest son carried Catwoman on his shoulders and gave Mason a thumbs up.
This is still a silly move that Batman would never make, and it looks very inconsistent with the bat suit on him.
"Where to go next? Batcave?"
Mason picked up his gun and wiped the dirt off the gun and asked. Grayson shook his head and said:
"You are not allowed to enter the Batcave yet, so we go to the nearby safe house and ask where Catwoman hides the information immediately. I just found the elite shadow warriors of the Assassin's League in the clinic.
Things are deteriorating rapidly, Mason, their patience is fading, and based on my past experience, this is not a good thing."
