Chapter 1467: Birds and Return (XII)
Both of them tensed their muscles, but Mrs. Miller just stood in the distance and watched them quietly for a while, then turned and left.
Watching her figure going away, both of them breathed a sigh of relief. Red Robin pushed the Red Hood in front of him with his hand and said, "There may have been a murder here not long ago. Anyone could be the murderer. Can you not rush in rashly?"
"So what if it's the murderer? Haven't we seen enough crazy people?" Red Hood drew a weapon from his waist and said, "I will make him look good!"
It has to be admitted that in an unfamiliar environment, people with a tough attitude can indeed bring people a sense of security. Red Robin did not continue to dissuade because he was also a little unsure.
"Let's go, we go up the stairs."
Red Hood shook his head and walked forward. Red Robin followed him and the two came to the corner of the stairs, and then heard a somewhat hurried footsteps coming from upstairs.
As soon as Red Hood stepped out of the first step and looked up, he saw a woman in a nurse's uniform walking down in a hurry. What was more eye-catching than the nurse's uniform was the sharp knife in her hand.
In the moment when the two were stunned, the woman in the nurse's uniform widened her eyes and said, "A weirdo who doesn't sleep?
"Miss Nurse, we are actually..."
Before the beginning of the lie was finished, the cold light of the blade was approaching Red Hood's eyes. He dodged sideways at the last second. With a "swish", the tip of the knife cut through the uniform on the side of his arm, bringing out a string of blood beads.
Red Hood's fighting instinct made him bend down and duck his head to avoid the second attack, but it was too late to swing his weapon. He took advantage of his body shape and weight to hug the nurse's waist and knocked her against the wall on the side of the stairwell. Red Robin also swung his fist at the nurse.
"Bang! "
The fist hit the nurse's cheek hard, but in order to give Red Robin space to attack, Red Hood had to let go of the nurse and withdraw from between them.
The nurse who was punched did not fall directly on the stairs, but staggered up two steps, changed her knife position, and stabbed the side of Red Hood's neck with a knife.
Red Hood leaned over to avoid it, and the next second, the tip of the nurse's shoe kicked him hard behind the ear. He staggered back and bumped into Red Robin behind him.
The sharp knife stabbed several times along the handrail. Red Hood stepped back step by step, looking for the sound to identify the position, and kicked to the right, but was flexibly dodged by the nurse.
Red Robin quickly analyzed the scene in front of him in his mind, and the conclusion was that the current situation was completely unfavorable to them.
The most troublesome thing was the lack of lighting in the stairwell, and they were here for the first time, and they had no idea about the location of the corners of the stairwell, but this nurse knew the terrain very well.
"Let's go, Jason! Don't fight her here! Go back to the corridor!" Red Robin shouted at Red Hood.
Although Red Hood has always been radical, he is not stupid. The other party is familiar with the terrain and has a sharp weapon. She is standing on the top of the stairs. If she has a gun in her hand and shoots at the bottom, both of them may be hit.
So, he elbowed back, opened the arm wielding the sharp knife, lowered his head and retreated flexibly, rolled back to withdraw from the attack range of the nurse, and ran back to the corridor with Red Robin.
When they came to the place with lights, Red Hood felt that it was almost time, so he turned around to defend against the enemy, but at this time, the door behind him opened. The security guard they had just seen stared with bloodshot eyes and held a pistol with a silencer in his hand.
The nurse with a sharp knife had rushed into the corridor, and there was a burly armed security guard in front. Red Hood and Red Robin were in a hurry to go out, and neither of them brought long-range weapons. Looking at the black muzzle of the gun, Red Robin gritted his teeth and said, "I'll attract his attention, and you run to the other side of the corridor!"
"Don't be stupid, he will shoot. "He can't hit me!"
As the two killers got closer and closer, Red Robin and Red Hood had no room for hesitation. Red Hood quickly rolled to the side. Just as the security guard's eyes followed his movements, Red Hood rushed forward and punched the security guard in the face.
With a muffled "bang", the pistol with a silencer was triggered. The bullet ricocheted in the slightly narrow corridor and flew past Red Robin's ear. The two had no time to grab the gun. They pushed the male security guard away and ran away.
"They are definitely not ordinary people!" Red Hood shouted while running: "The nurse is incredibly strong, and she is definitely trained in cold weapons. Every strike is deadly!"
"That security guard is also!" Red Robin followed behind him, running and saying: "When I hit him just now, I felt like I hit a wall. The last time I felt this way was when I hit the death knell! "
The two rushed to the other side of the stairs, quickly grabbed the handrail and rushed upstairs. Not long after they ran up, they heard the "squeaky" sound of the cart in front of them, and the strong smell of blood was blown by the breeze and penetrated into their nostrils.
"Something is wrong! Hurry, run back!" Red Robin's keen intuition made him turn around with the red hood, but at this time, the heavy footsteps of the security guard had already sounded at the bottom of the stairs.
When the two were in a dilemma, the cart had turned the corner. The white doctor they saw on the underground first floor came over with a bone-cutting knife, and his other hand pushed the cart - the cart was full of human body parts.
Seeing Red Robin and Red Hood appear in front of him, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "Have you hung the painting back? Don't let Mrs. Miller think I did it."
Red Robin and Red Hood's eyes fell on the body on the cart in his hand. The parts there could be assembled into at least three complete people, and they all died not long ago, with only the smell of blood, but no stench.
Rage rose from his heart, but a gunshot interrupted the two people's fantasy of tearing the killer apart with their hands. Red Robin turned around and saw the security guard aiming at him with a black gun.
The two passed by the white doctor like a whirlwind, and Red Hood accidentally stepped on a finger of an arm on the ground. When the people chasing them ran over, the white doctor shook his head helplessly and said, "A bunch of bastards! This is the material for my experiment tomorrow... It seems that I can only go to get it again."
Red Robin and Red Hood kept running forward. When passing by a room with a light on, Red Hood caught a glimpse of the shape of human limbs hanging in it. He let out a loud scream and ran faster.
But before they ran to the opposite staircase, a burly figure blocked them. The strong man wearing a pig head mask looked at the two shouting young men in surprise and asked, "Who are you? Where are you going? Aren't you afraid that Mrs. Miller will cause trouble for you if you don't sleep now?"
But Red Hood and Red Robin's eyes were all focused on the bloody chainsaw in his hand.
The two of them braked suddenly, almost stepping on a hole in the carpet, and the grinning security guard had already caught up from behind.
The two of them had obviously made quite a noise while running for their lives. In addition to the nurse, there was also a strong man with a baseball bat, a teenager in a hospital gown, and an elderly man who looked a little hunchbacked following behind the security guard.
A few heads also popped out from behind the pig-headed killer. The weapons hidden behind them were either boning knives or black gun muzzles. From the light of the crack in the door, there were all kinds of human-related parts.
"Each of them is..." Red Robin said in a trembling tone. His amazing detective talent made the information of all the people in front of him pour into his mind, but at this time, he would rather not have this talent.
"What is it?" Red Hood gritted his teeth and cursed, "Don't say code words at this time, okay?!"
"What else could it be?!" Red Robin roared, "They are all fucking murderers!!!!"
The evening breeze of Gotham passed through the corridor, blowing the short hair of Red Hood and Red Robin. Behind their terrified expressions, the sign at the corner of the corridor made a clear sound, and it was written in bold English on it - "Patient Communication Activity Center".
Ten minutes later, two staggering figures rushed up the corridor on the fourth floor. Red Hood covered his arm with a big cut and supported Red Robin who was shot in the leg. The two ran forward with all their strength, trying to escape the pursuit of countless murderers behind them.
Although Robin and Batman are of the same lineage in terms of not being able to fight encounters, their experiences are destined. Even if they come here fully armed and well prepared, it may not be useful.
Because, almost every killer who can come here has published more than five major achievements in journals, and can be regarded as an academic master in the field of serial killers. Killing has become an instinct for them, and death has been sublimated into an art by them. Their practical skills in hunting prey have long been honed to perfection.
This is different from the motivation of Robin to uphold justice and hunt criminals. They are purely for their own spiritual enjoyment, and they have devoted their lives to deeply understand how to kill humans. As the saying goes, love is the best teacher.
Attacking others is just a means for Robin, and it is part of their just cause, but for serial killers who can enter the New Arkham Psychiatric Hospital, hunting is almost their whole life. There is also a saying that what you love is your life.
Don't use your hobbies to challenge other people's careers. Even if Red Hood and Red Robin are already considered to be more ruthless among Robins, they are more like innocent and kind lambs against the backdrop of this group of serial killers.
These two reckless lambs did not rush into the wolf pack, but landed at the Wolf King Conference. There was a kind of beauty in the scene where a brave man who had just left the novice village mistakenly entered the hell G20 summit, and a player holding an initial wooden stick fell headfirst into the sunset king shrimp breeding pond.
The two people in the corridor gradually slowed down their escape speed. Red Robin gritted his teeth and said while leaning against the wall to recover his strength: "This won't work!
"What the hell!" Red Hood cursed: "How did Batman catch them? !"
"That's probably just his disguise." Red Robin swallowed his saliva and said: "He deliberately made himself harmless so that others could relax their vigilance. I'm afraid these crazy people have been fooled by him, and so have we!"
"When we first met him, he must have dressed up like that on purpose, the cunning Batman!"
When these words came out, both of them were stunned. Red Robin smiled bitterly and said, "It's always those crazy people who scold us like that. Things will change!"
"Go, go, they are chasing us!" Red Hood said breathlessly.
Just as a group of terrifying figures appeared in the corridor behind them, and their physical strength was about to run out, suddenly, the door of a room in the corridor opened, and a small hand pulled the two people in one after another.
Red Robin felt a little dizzy due to excessive blood loss caused by the gunshot wound. As soon as he entered the door, he sat down against the wall. The bright light in the room formed layers of halos in his eyes.
But the face that appeared in front of him the next second made him jump up from the ground in shock. The shocked shout of Red Hood came before him--
"Harley Quinn?!!!"
