36. Chaos【6/40】--Add More for a Lonely Dog Brother
Outside Gotham City, in Wayne Manor, which is like a king's castle.
The old housekeeper Alfred, who was gray-haired but still healthy, walked quickly into an elevator leading to the underground.
The eyes of the old man who had served the Wayne family all his life were full of worry.
He had just returned home from Gotham City, and the city that had been improving with the help of the Heroes Association had become chaotic again today.
Riots broke out in several prisons, and many criminals rushed into the city to wreak havoc.
The heroes and the police are somewhat powerless in the face of the boiling city, and Batman also appears in critical moments as always.
He has prevented a lot of crimes today, and he has saved a lot of people.
But in the face of a boiling city, even Batman can't do much.
"click"
When the elevator descended rapidly to the deepest point, Old Ah Fu came out.
In the bat cave in front of him, Bruce was taking off his bat mask, and there was a trace of tiredness on his face that couldn't be concealed.
"Sir, there is bad news."
Ah Fu quickly made a cup of coffee and delivered it to Bruce.
He said to the silent Batman who was sitting on a chair, looking at several large screens juxtaposed in front of him:
"Arkham Asylum"
"I know."
Rubbing his forehead, Bruce closed his eyes and said:
"Joker wiped it out, took all the crazy criminals there, hijacked a plane, flew to New York and they should be there by now."
"That"
Ah Fu looked at his young master in surprise, he seemed to be very puzzled, why Batman knew about this, but didn't stop him.
"Not yet, Ah Fu."
Bruce looked at the city that was about to be ignited by evil fire on the screen in front of him, and said in a low tone:
"Some things are happening, the clown is just one of them, not even the most important one, I'm waiting for news from someone."
"To solve this big trouble once and for all, I have to cooperate with him. I know that he must have a counterattack plan."
"I have to wait for the signal to act."
"Mr. Merlin?"
Afu is the person Bruce trusts the most, and he knows everything about Bruce.
He also knows about the relationship between Merlin and Bruce, and even about the 006 Avenger.
But there is still a worried light in the old Ah Fu's eyes, he said:
"According to Mr. Merlin's operational efficiency, if everything is under his control, he will not allow things to deteriorate to this point."
"Several cities on the east and west coasts are in disarray, sir."
Ah Fu said softly:
"People say that Gotham is the capital of crime, but look at the current situation. In just half a day, Gotham has appeared in every place on this continent."
"I don't doubt Mr. Merlin's ability, but I doubt whether he can stop this before things get worse."
"And those behind-the-scenes dare to act so arrogantly, does this also prove that Merlin, he?"
"Will not!"
Bruce said stubbornly:
"He won't just die quietly like this, and he won't just run away like a coward."
Batman looked at the screen in front of him, and after a few seconds, he asked:
"The guy I saved"
"He's being treated, sir."
Ah Fu said softly:
"His thinking is still a little confused. He should have been shocked by some kind of force. It may take a few hours to recover. His will is very firm, just like you."
"Of course he was determined."
Bruce said:
"After all, he is a legendary figure."
"drop"
A piercing notification tone sounded on the watch that Bruce put on his hand. He put the thing in front of his eyes, looked at it, then turned his head and smiled at Alfred.
"Merlin is alive"
"He sent a message."
"Fix the Batmobile, Fu, I'm going to New York"
—
"Uh, uh!"
Over the Bronx area, several helicopters were flying around in the low sky of the city. The clown grabbed the armrest of the helicopter with one hand, exposing most of his body in the air.
He let out a strange yell, and threw the thing in his hand to the ground.
That thing looks like a grenade, but it's not an explosive.
It was thrown to the block on the ground, and exploded at a distance of more than ten meters from the ground. Clouds of green gas sprayed out from the tank and scattered everywhere.
like poison gas
But it's not poison gas.
On the ground, pedestrians on both sides of the street were enveloped by the sudden burst of green gas.
They screamed, as if they had seen the most terrifying thing, and quickly ran away madly.
The weak-willed people hid in the street and shivered.
And some tyrannical guys clenched their fists under the urging of the poisonous fear gas, and smashed towards the nearest person.
Chaos, chaos quickly erupted in this street.
The crowd ran around like headless chickens, but as the fear gas was diluted into the air, the scope of this chaos expanded rapidly.
Like a rolling ocean tide spreading out.
"You guys, keep sprinkling! Don't stop!"
The clown grabbed the communicator and shouted to the people on the other helicopters:
"Throw all the cans out and bring fire to this angry city."
"What about us? Honey."
Harley Quinn in a clown costume sits on the helicopter like a good girl.
While looking at the city below, she recalled the experience of escaping from the city ten years ago when she was frightened and panicked.
Her pretty face was painted red and blue by those paints. Compared with the random smearing of the clown, Harley, who loves beauty, did not destroy the cuteness of her face.
She made herself even more eccentric and seductive.
Like a girl walking on the edge of madness, full of a sense of freedom.
She was holding a hollow sledgehammer that circus performers use, and she turned to look at the clown, who was holding a large bag.
The bag is full of fear gas freshly concocted by the Super Criminal Scarecrow.
"Where are we going?"
Harry asked.
"Let's go somewhere more interesting, honey."
The Joker stretched out his fingers and caressed Harry's smooth chin, and he said softly:
"Let's go to the headquarters of the New York League of Heroes"
"I've been there, and I'm telling you, it's a lot of fun with a lot of self-righteous heroes, and we're there to surprise them!"
"hum"
The Winter Soldier, who was flying the plane, threw a small black box to the clown, who took it in his hand and said with a bad face:
"Look, look! Those unappetizing conspirators are going to give orders from above again! Tch, it's so boring!"
Even though he said that, the clown still put the communicator by his ear.
"Arthur!"
This time it was no longer Mrs. Hydra who directly contacted him, but Pierce himself who spoke to him.
There was undisguised anger in Pierce's voice.
"What are you doing! You bastard!"
"Get out of here!"
"I'm just following your orders and performing my duties conscientiously, my lord."
The clown said in a very respectful tone:
"Look, the city is already in chaos. Isn't this the chaos you want to see? Are you satisfied with the results of my work? If you are not satisfied, it doesn't matter!"
The clown said in a cheerful voice:
"Please wait patiently for ten minutes, my lord."
"Soon, some crazy heroes will join the carnival, and the arrival of that big song and dance troupe will set the city on fire."
"Ah, I love this game, really!"
"enough!"
Pierce scolded:
"Go back at once, that's enough! Bring this madman back at once, Winter Soldier!"
The Winter Soldier flying the helicopter got his orders.
But he didn't execute it immediately as before, but kept silent strangely.
Obviously, after being released from mind control, he also had doubts about the tasks he was performing, and even doubted himself and even his own life.
"Hey, why are you so troubled?"
The clown stood up, lying on the driver's seat of the Winter Soldier, and said calmly:
"Didn't you hear the big man's order? He told us to go back, let's go back."
"Um?"
There was a hint of surprise in Winter Soldier's tone, and he said:
"You go back, he will kill you. You are useless"
"I know."
The clown whistled, and he said:
"I know this set of tricks very well. When the handy tools are used up, it's time to destroy them. I know exactly what they are going to do to me."
"But suddenly I had another idea"
The clown Shi Shiran sat back on the chair. He took the hand of Harley Quinn beside him, and handed the bag to Harley. He said:
"Plans change, honey, you go to the Hero Association and do this for me"
"What about you? Honey."
Harley Quinn clutched the clown's arm affectionately, she pouted, with a dissatisfied face, and said in a coquettish tone:
"Why don't you come with me"
"No, no, I have more important things."
The clown opened Harry's hand, and he said with a straight face:
"When men do things, women don't make trouble and, honey, have you seen King Kong? That famous movie"
"I've seen it."
Harley, who was reprimanded by the clown, picked up a jar unhappily, unlatched it, and threw it out of the helicopter. She said boredly:
"That big monkey is lying on the top of the Empire State Building and masturbating for the woman he loves. When will you do it for me?"
"Cough cough."
The clown coughed and said:
"That matter, well, we'll talk about it later, anyway, if you're lucky enough"
"You can see classic movies reenacted in New York today~"
—
"Cough, cough"
Severe coughing rang out in an old Manhattan house.
Arthur, who was guarding the bed, stood up immediately. The tall and strong young man took the water glass from his hand and handed it to Uncle Merlin who was lying on the bed with his eyes open.
Merlin stretched out his hand to take the water glass with difficulty, poured the cold water down his throat, and then groaned comfortably.
He's in a bad state.
Very very bad.
In human form, the torn shirt was covered with blood. This magical creation was hit by Thor's Hammer, and had lost all its original magical effects in the energy bombardment.
Merlin's hair was messy, his face was pale, his eyes were dim, and he had an unhealthy aura.
The magic in his body just went through a runaway.
The severely injured soul has not yet recovered, which greatly reduced his control over magic power. At the moment of waking up, Merlin could feel the pain erupting from his body, as if being torn apart.
But his sanity is still very clear.
"How long have I been unconscious?"
With Arthur's help, Merlin got up from the bed, looked at Arthur, and asked:
"And how did you know I'd need help?"
"My dad said it."
Arthur shrugged, and the young man said to Merlin:
"My dad said he signed some kind of contract. When you need help, I have to rush over to help you."
"Well, you slept for about 3 hours."
"A contract?"
Merlin nodded thoughtfully, he looked out of the window again, and said:
"What is this place?"
"This is my cousin's house in Manhattan, and he said his mom used to live here a lot."
Arthur said to Merlin:
"There is the magic of the Atlanteans here, as long as you don't go out, no one will be able to perceive your breath."
"But Uncle Merlin, why did Superman and Thor fight you? And it seems that they have killed you. Is there any conflict between you?"
"It's hard to explain."
Merlin waved his hand, he leaned on the cane at hand, and he said to Arthur:
"Where are Natasha and Barton?"
"Tied up in the basement."
Arthur grabbed his trident, led Merlin down the basement, and said:
"My cousin led Superman and Thor to the Arctic Ocean. He may not be back for a while. Kara is outside to inquire about the news. She may come back soon."
"Namor is your cousin, I know."
Merlin walked down the stairs tremblingly, and asked:
"But Kara, who is that? Your girlfriend?"
"no."
Arthur smiled and said:
"Kara is a friend I rescued from Atlantis. She came from an alien planet and came to Earth to find her cousin"
"Kara is very powerful. I can't even beat her. You'll know when she comes back."
"Another Powerful Alien"
Merlin blinked and said:
"Still appearing at this time, um, I have a premonition that some troubles are coming."
"But let's not talk about this now, I want to talk to my old friends, Arthur, I want to ask you to do something for me."
"Speak, Uncle Merlin."
Arthur patted his chest and said:
"Although there is already chaos outside, and the authorities have issued a warrant for your arrest, I am definitely on your side."
"well"
Merlin shook his head. He took out a watch-like thing from his coat pocket, handed it to Arthur, and said:
"Go and help me find someone, to be precise, a car."
"A classic red 1962 Corvette, her name is Lola."
"This thing can help you find her. After you find her, let her tell Coulson to let Coulson gather the power that s.d.o.l.d. still exists, and then wait for my order."
"I have something to do, and I'll join them soon."
"Get them ready, we're going to start fighting back."
