Chapter 27 27 Truth or Dare

Chapter 27 27.Truth and Dare

"Gotham is really lively at night."

Mason stood by the window of this safe house on the top floor of an old apartment near Crime Alley, looking out through the blinds at the night scene. There were several chaos visible to the naked eye.

There was smoke from the fire rising in the distance across the Gotham River.

It's really hard to imagine how much crime could happen in this city in one night, but to the young man's surprise, he soon saw the traces of the Bat fighter jet falling from the clouds and rushing towards the fire site.

He looked back at Ye Yi behind him in surprise and said:

"You're pretending to be Batman, so who's flying the Batplane?"

"Robin Three."

Grayson glanced at Mason and replied:

"I told you, Robins will help each other."

"Is this all the way to Unit 3?"

Mason curled his lips. No wonder there are always some outrageous rumors among Gotham's villains.

They said they had personally seen Batman appearing as a crazy car villain in three different places in the city at the same time, and some people swore that Batman was an alien orphan who could move independently.

Anyway, these folk rumors are just as outrageous as they come from, but these outrageous rumors actually have prototypes.

"Are you going to interrogate her?"

Mason glanced at Catwoman who was still unconscious with her hands and feet tied to a chair. He rubbed the neck that Catwoman had pinched before and said:

"I don't think you can ask anything, and it's impossible to torture her to extract a confession. She is Batman's lover and is considered his 'adoptive mother.' Secondly, you, a bad guy, can't do it."

"That's not how this relationship works!"

Grayson pushed the bat helmet and retorted.

But the expression on his serious chin and mouth under the mask also meant that the young man was very distressed at this time.

Although he had learned the methods of torture from Batman, he was a true gentleman and could not do such a thing to a woman who was not a bad person.

"Let me do it."

Mason took the initiative to take over the task and said:

"I need some materials, please help me prepare them."

"Is it the alchemy you learned from the wizard again?"

Grayson raised his head and glanced at him. Mason nodded, flexed his fingers and said:

"I saw a potion in the wizard's notes called 'Veritaserum'. Don't laugh, wizards used this name a thousand years ago. This is not something original to the FBI or KGB.

In short, if torture cannot be used, this potion is very suitable. "

As he spoke, Mason took out a piece of paper, scrawled down the names of many materials and handed it to Nightwing.

The latter's eyes widened as soon as he took it in his hand. After a few seconds, he shook the piece of paper with at least fifty kinds of medicines written on it and said suspiciously:

"Are you sure that so many medicinal ingredients are needed to make a dose of medicine? The total amount you want is enough to kill twenty adults."

"Alchemy has a chance of failure, not to mention I'm just a novice. Is there anything wrong with preparing more raw materials?"

Mason asked expressionlessly:

"Or is it that Batman is very poor so he can't afford so many things?"

"You better make sure it works."

Grayson stopped arguing.

He stood up and walked to the window to connect the communication of the Batcave, and said in a low voice:

"Alfred, I need some materials to complete the operation, and I read the list to you. No, I don't plan to switch to opening a pharmacy, and I read these outrageous amounts correctly.

Do you happen to have them all in the warehouse?

That's great!

I need the Batplane to get them to me as quickly as possible, and remember to tell Tim not to drink too much coffee while flying the plane. "

After hearing the conversation between Nightwing and Afu, Mason behind him calmly showed a thoughtful smile.

The medicinal materials brought here were enough for him to complete the production of most of the primary potions of the alchemy branch, but they were not prepared for Veritaserum.

How can real truth serum be so easy to refine?

Let's not talk about the minimum technical standard for making this thing, which is Alchemy Level 3. Just talking about its production cycle, it requires a whole month of fermentation and purification process.

Not even one day less.

And the core material of that thing is the feathers of the Silent Bird.

That thing most likely doesn't exist in this world, and Mason doesn't have a specimen of the feather on hand.

At his current level, he simply couldn't make Veritaserum, but that didn't stop Mason from using this excuse to get some of Batman's fat wool.

Because he happened to have a finished product of Veritaserum on hand.

The Kite Man found a lot of potions in the ruins of Hogwarts, and they can be used in the bag on Mason's waist.

Ten minutes later, the ghostly Bat fighter hovered on the roof of the old apartment. Several large boxes were thrown out of the plane. Nightwing and the pilot, the third generation Robin Tim Drake, had a fight. When he turned around after greeting him, those boxes that were so heavy that they could crush a person had already disappeared.

"Where did you take them? Did you eat them?"

Young Master Yeyi asked in surprise. Mason patted the bag on his waist and took out several weird-shaped beakers as if by magic. He said briefly:

"Magic, don't ask. I need twenty minutes to make the potion."

"There's something very unmagical about making a potion alchemically to pry open the mouth of a street hero on the drafty roof of an old apartment building."

The young master made a joke, opened the door and walked into the stairs.

Soon Mason heard the sound of Catwoman arguing with him after she woke up.

Catwoman was still scolding Dick Grayson for being heartless, saying that she had bought him ice cream when he was Robin for Batman, and she almost said that she had hugged him when he was a child wearing open-crotch pants.

It seems that these two are also old acquaintances.

Mason on the roof did not waste time. He lit the alcohol lamp brought from Barbara's safe house, took some of the newly acquired medicinal materials, and took out a few bottles of mineral water to start boiling medicine.

The formulas required for potions in the wizarding world are very strange and some of the materials are very shady.

For example, dried mouse spleens or mint leaves picked in the morning light and other strange things are very unfriendly to newcomers to practice.

Therefore, Mason chose the primary potion with the drawings included. These primary potion series were obtained from Old K, and the formula was improved by Old K. All the materials can be bought from ordinary herbal medicine stores.

Moreover, the whole process is very simple compared to traditional alchemy, but it is a test of the level of the alchemist.

The young man tried four times.

All failed

It seems that the young master's complaints are justified.

It is not magical at all to boil medicine on a rooftop with ventilation on all sides. The god of potions cursed Mason for his disrespect and made him waste precious 20 minutes of his life.

He shook his head, disposed of the charcoal-like medicine residue, and then took out the bottle of truth serum that was very similar in appearance and color to Fengyoujing, held it in his hand, pushed the door, went downstairs and walked into the safe house.

"You are also a heartless little thing!"

When Catwoman, who was tied to a chair, saw Mason coming in, she screamed immediately:

"My sister is so good to you, but you teamed up with the Batboy to bully me! It turns out that there is no good man who can be treated differently by Batman!"

"First of all, I am not sorry for you, but you have always owed me a favor.

Secondly, don't try to unlock it. It is said that the thing is specially made for a flying thief like you. You can't unlock it even if you break your fingers.

Finally, I am not trying to hurt you.

I even added orange juice to this thing to ensure the taste."

Mason walked to the front of the irritable Catwoman and twisted the cap of the crystal bottle in his hand. A pungent smell came out of it, which made the young man beside him take a step back slightly with some uneasiness.

The young man took out a small medicine spoon.

He dripped two drops of sticky truth serum on the spoon, looked at the angry Catwoman again, estimated the anger and resistance of this big sister, shrugged and continued to drip two drops into the spoon.

This is a double dose.

If Mason had bad intentions, he could even ask Catwoman about her first love and the color of her underwear today. Well, there's no need to ask about that.

The first choice for this kind of big sister is definitely the mysterious and charming black.

"Also, it was you who dragged us into a dangerous situation. You should know that I just want to live a peaceful life."

Mason said, and put the remaining half bottle of potion back into the bag.

This bottle of truth serum can be used ten times, which is worthy of its long production process.

He winked at the Bat Master next to him, who stepped forward to fix Catwoman's struggling face, and then blocked her mouth to reveal her clenched teeth.

To be honest, this scene is really too 18+.

"It's okay, it's fine, the potion can seep down."

Mason put the spoon next to Catwoman's sexy lips and said:

"It can penetrate into the tongue, don't struggle, it's said that this thing tastes good like rum, and it's harmless to the human body when used in small amounts."

"What did you give me to drink!"

After a few drops of cold potion were dripped into Catwoman's mouth, Nightwing also let go of the struggling Wildcat Lady, and the two young men stepped back and looked at the somewhat manic queen beauty on the chair.

She yelled at Mason, and Nightwing glanced at the young man and whispered:

"How long will it take for the truth serum to take effect?"

"Now!"

Mason replied, looked at Catwoman, and said:

"Your age!"

"Are you asking such a powerful question at the beginning?"

The young master shrank his head and said:

"This is a woman's Achilles' heel, be careful that she will strangle you to death."

"This is a test, shut up."

Mason shook his finger to shut the young master up, and the two men stared at the Catwoman in front of them.

The expression on her face was very strange, and her whole body was tense at this moment, as if she was holding back something that was about to burst out.

She bit her mouth tightly to prevent herself from saying the damn answer.

But at this moment, the urge to share secrets with others surged in her heart like a cat's claws, making this seductive big sister unable to hide her inner thoughts at all.

Her face was flushed.

Under the gaze of Mason and Nightwing, she opened her mouth as if suffocating for nearly twenty seconds, lowered her head and gasped, and said:

"18 years old."

"Okay, the test failed, your truth serum is ineffective."

The young master shrugged helplessly, while Mason raised a finger and shook it, and then crossed his arms and said slowly:

"Don't rush to draw conclusions, she hasn't finished yet."

"18 years, 228 months and 17 days!"

Catwoman finally gave her answer.

The light in her eyes was burning like a fire of anger, staring at Mason and Nightwing, wishing to tear the two guys apart, and the young master was in shock at this time.

It's really possible for a mysterious woman like Ms. Selena to tell her true age. Mason's Veritaserum can really help!

Is this the power of magic?

Love it, love it.

"I'll test it too."

The young master coughed, and Mason beside him made a "please" gesture to him.

Grayson quietly turned on the communicator on the Bat gauntlet, looked at Catwoman who was resisting, and finally asked the question he wanted to know most.

He said:

"Why did you run away from your wedding to Batman? Do you know that you made him very sad and almost collapsed because of it?"

"I refuse to answer!"

Ms. Selena is going crazy.

She screamed, but the devil-like potion continued to take effect, making it impossible for her to hide the secrets in her heart that she never wanted others to know.

She once again suppressed her blush.

I even want to bite my tongue off.

But in the end, she lowered her head feebly and whispered:

"I'm afraid. I'm afraid that he will get tired of me after having me. The cat you can't catch is your favorite cat. I'm even more afraid that I will be willing to become that man's vassal after becoming the Bat Lady.

My uneasiness drove me to do stupid things.

Later events also proved that I was once again used by Batman's enemies to become a sword piercing his riddled soul.

I hurt him more than his enemies, and I'm sorry for that.

But I really enjoyed how he shyly showed me his hidden thoughts when he was alone again and again, and I hope this pattern continues until the day I grow old.

I swear!

I will marry him without hesitation from the first wrinkle on my face.

But until then, I'm going to keep playing like this with him.

I want to see who will fall first. "

The eldest son curled his lips, while Mason, who was listening in, had no expression on his face but was a little touched in his heart. Well, is this the twilight love of the elderly?

It’s really too artistic.

But the answer did not exceed Nightwing's imagination. He turned on the communicator on his arm and said to the person on the other side in front of Catwoman:

"Did you hear that? This might relieve your knot."

After nearly ten seconds of silence, Batman's iconic husky voice sounded over the communicator.

He said:

"Dick! You're so boring!"

Subsequently, the communication was disconnected.

"Okay, let's get down to business, shall we?"

Mason stepped forward and looked at Catwoman, who had lowered her head and no longer resisted. He knelt down and said to the eldest sister whose soul had been penetrated in front of him:

"Ms. Selina, we really need the information on that hard drive. If you crack it, please tell us the content. Why are the Assassin's League and the Penguin Gang chasing us like crazy?"

"We're not in the same group anymore, Mason! You're the most vicious of all the Bat-cubs!"

Catwoman looked up.

Her big, tear-stained eyes stared at the young man, and she said fiercely:

“But I will tell you this because Penguin has colluded with the League of Assassins a long time ago. They are jointly executing a plan called ‘Advent’.

There's not a lot of information I've deciphered.

That's a smart program that's always encrypting itself.

I can't hack it with the Batcomputer.

Because it will be parasitic in Batman's database and security network, perhaps even the theft of the hard drive itself is a conspiracy against that man.

But I am certain that both the League of Assassins and the Penguin Gang are only participants in this plan, and its first step begins with the fall of Gotham and the death of Batman. "

Catwoman gasped.

She looked at Mason and said:

"Penguin must get the hard drive back or destroy the information because he doesn't want to die quietly. As for the League of Assassins, they don't want the entire plan to be canceled because of this mistake.

Everyone who has come into contact with that hard drive is a stumbling block that must be removed. You two can't solve this matter!

Batman must come back

Hey, why is your lapel pin glowing? "

"boom"

The moment Catwoman finished speaking, a bullet whirled through the window and shot towards her.

Mason threw Catwoman and the chair to the ground, while Nightwing, who reacted quickly, opened his bulletproof cape to block the fatal bullet.

Mason pulled out Sujie's Eagle and cut the rope, then pressed Catwoman down who was trying to break away, and casually opened the invisibility cloak to wrap the two of them.

"do not move!"

He scolded, then raised his head and said to Yeyi:

"I'll take her to a safe place, the seventh pier in Miller Harbor! I will take the initiative to contact you."

"Come on! I'll lure them away."

The eldest son was unambiguous at the critical moment. He stepped forward and threw the Batarang to break the glass and rushed out. Then there were the piercing sounds of gunfire and the sound of the Batmobile's engine starting up.

As for Catwoman.

She watched in surprise as Mason put on that magical cloak to completely cover the two of them, and then fled along the stairs.

"We are indeed in this together, Ms. Selina."

As he fled into the nearest dark alley, Mason picked up his gun and slung it behind his back. He said to Catwoman, who was glaring at him:

"I want to get rid of these haunting pursuits, and you want to live until the day you marry Batman. We have a basis for cooperation.

As for truth serum.

I forgot to tell you that it only takes effect for about five minutes. "

Mason shrugged, wiped his eyes pretending to be touched, and joked:

"You voluntarily told me the secret about you and Batman, don't blame me. Also, as a world-class thief, can you not see Nightwing's little action of opening the communicator?

The way you two get along with each other in this fairy love is really twisted.

It's really hard for the master to have a fairy-like lover like you."

"Tsk"

Catwoman, whose thoughts were exposed, curled her lips, put on her ruby ​​goggles, and said:

"Do you really think I have been in vain for so many years? You bastard Bat boy, I am a professional in catching rich men! Do you understand the technical content of those few words just now?

This is enough to make the silent man love me to death."
