Chapter 2061: Knight's Night of Terror (V)
The light of the truck illuminated the dark street, drawing a standard arc at the corner of the street. The moment the light of the boom was turned on, the gauze-like light gently passed over the name engraved on the factory gate - "ACE Chemical Factory".
The rapid raindrops kept hitting the top of the car. In the corner of the closed car of the truck, two figures with their arms tied behind their backs curled up. The bumpy vehicle caused the light from the door to circle around their faces.
"What did you feed him?" Poison Ivy looked at Peter next to her with a complicated expression, and adjusted the posture of her tied arms to allow the blood to flow smoothly.
"You can think of it as a living medicine." Peter kept staring at the crack in the door through which the light came. His eyelashes were illuminated like a sharp sword. "It will initially lurk in the human body, completely undetectable, and then gradually affect your mind with its own characteristics."
"So is it a living thing or a medicine?"
"It's a living thing." Peter looked at Poison Ivy and said, "It's an intelligent creature called a symbiont. It has mind and can communicate. Its main way of survival is parasitism."
Poison Ivy shuddered, and Peter continued, "The greatest feature of this kind of life is that it can perfectly inherit the personality traits of the previous host and silently influence the next host."
"Red Bee has already It has been in my body for a long time, so even if the other party is an unforgivable villain, he will definitely find his conscience after waiting for a while. "
"You still have a conscience?!" Poison Ivy said with great sorrow: "You just destroyed Gotham a few minutes ago. Scarecrow is too conservative compared to you. The Joker is not as agile as you!"
Peter blinked, and the light flashed across his eyelashes. He moved his body slightly, and then said: "Hush, we are almost at the station."
The truck slowly drove into the underground parking lot of ACE Chemical Plant, turned in a tunnel full of warning signs, and waited until the red light of the garage door came on, and the car slowly stopped.
The driver got off the car, and there was no movement for a long time. After a while, the sound of the door opening came again, and the voice of exasperation was getting closer and closer.
"...They all fell down in an instant, it was crazy, I don't know what happened, it must be that damn Stagg! Fortunately, I gave them masks in advance to prevent them from being attacked by the fear gas."
"But this doesn't make sense at all, he can't open the door of the laboratory alone and complete the plan, what on earth did he use to make everyone in the city fall down?!"
"Are you scared?" The low voice sounded again.
"Of course I didn't." The other party obviously raised his voice, and he said: "But this is not in my plan at all. I gave Batman a 24-hour buffer time just to delay. This is just a cover."
"I need time to wait for the final completion of the cloud explosion device. I also need time to defeat the most important people to Batman one by one. This is his punishment!"
"And now Gotham is about to be destroyed. Batman must be going crazy. If everyone he cares about is dead, he won't let us live!"
"You sound like a coward who is afraid of death."
"You...Okay, smart Arkham Knight, tell me where you caught Batman's friends and how did you get into the Batcave?"
"I didn't go in. They ran out by themselves."
"Humph, they are just as stupid as before." The person on the other side sighed and said.
"If everyone else in Gotham is in a coma, with their lives or deaths in doubt, Batman won't be distracted by anything. He will do his best to hunt us. We must find a trump card to save our lives."
"Open the door. They are our last chance."
With the sound of the lock clicking, the door of the truck compartment was opened. Peter squinted his eyes to adapt to the sudden light. After the dazzling light faded, he saw a man wearing a linen hood.
"Scarecrow..." Poison Ivy called his name and said in a cold tone: "It's been a long time."
"Hahaha, Poison Ivy, why are you here again? How could your old lover Batman tolerate you falling into my hands again?" Scarecrow's tone was always cold, and he exuded a rotten smell like real straw.
The two were dragged out of the compartment by Scarecrow's men and thrown to the ground. Scarecrow walked in front of Peter and held up Peter's face with his dry hands.
"Look, another fresh flower. To be honest, doesn't that rich guy have any special hobbies? The boys he picked are all hot. Throwing them to Penguin will make his strip club a lot of money."
At this time, Peter has gotten rid of his immature boyhood and started to mature. Whether in appearance or body shape, he has begun to have the charm of a mature man.
And he has a special temperament, the rationality of a scholar and the wildness of a beast overlap, and when he looks up and looks at someone intently, there is a mysterious coldness that is difficult to understand.
The scarecrow shook his hand, and Peter's head tilted away, leaving a shallow blood mark at the corner of his jaw.
Poison Ivy's mouth twitched, and she said, "I didn't expect you to have this hobby. You cheated a lot of students in college, didn't you? Are you planning to let me watch you flirt all night?"
Although he was wearing a mask, Scarecrow's expression was obviously gloomy. He said in a deep voice, "You should say more, because soon you will never be able to say anything again."
"It's a threat without any strength." Poison Ivy turned her head aside.
Scarecrow turned to look at the man next to him called Arkham Knight and said, "Have you informed Batman?"
"Of course, he should have received the news by now. Have you and your men arranged the clues?"
"I'm faster than you." Scarecrow turned his head to look at the solution tanks placed next to the wall and said, "Batman will soon follow the wheel tracks here, and then find that he has been tricked again. There is nothing here except an explosion."
"Although I really want to see his disappointed expression, for继续拖延时间,我们得赶快带着人质离开。”
“当然。”阿卡姆骑士点了点头,然后又说:“但我想你不会介意我留给那个老头一段话,说不定他会被气的给你打电话呢。”
稻草人嗤笑了一声之后说:“随你的便,我们走。”
说完他带着手下把毒藤女和彼得拎上了另一辆车,阿卡姆骑士则留在了原地,然后走到墙边,用手指蘸着某种发出萤光的不明溶液,在墙上写下了一行字。
“我曾如此信任你。”
最后一笔落下时,阿卡姆骑士迟迟没有拿开手,一幕又一幕在他眼前闪过。
恍然之间他听到一个声音在问。
“那为什么不亲口告诉他呢?”
“别开玩笑了,他是蝙蝠侠。”阿卡姆骑士听到自己这样回答。
他用力的甩了甩头,回头看了一眼空旷的地下停车场,按了一下面罩,确认针对恐惧毒气的过滤装置没有失效,转身离开。
A shadow left, and another shadow came. The water splashed by the sudden brakes splashed around the corner, and the heavy footsteps echoed in the empty underground parking lot.
There was nothing here. Batman turned his head and saw the line of words emitting fluorescence in the darkness.
"I trusted you so much."
Batman walked to the front of the line of words and gently touched the liquid with his finger. His finger was stained with a little fluorescent paint, but what he didn't find was that the little bit of red in the paint was gradually turning into fluorescent green, gradually sinking under his gloves and disappearing into his body.
The next second, the fire of the huge explosion became the last light in the rainy night.
The military off-road vehicle sped on the street. Peter, who was tied in the back seat, looked at Poison Ivy. Peter blinked at her a few times and gently touched Poison Ivy's arm with his elbow.
Poison Ivy turned her head to look at him and found that Peter was pointing out the window. Poison Ivy raised her eyebrows, and Peter pursed his lips helplessly and pointed out the window again.
Wait, reach out?
"Ugh!!!"
The driver was strangled by Peter's neck, and the tiny vines instantly unlocked the car door. With a bang, the car door was kicked open, and Poison Ivy felt that she was almost thrown out by someone grabbing her arm.
Peter then rushed out of the door, really rushed out of the door, using the car door as a shield, and blocked the bullets fired by the men in the Scarecrow's convoy behind him.
The two rushed into the building in front of them, leaving only a series of brake sounds and Scarecrow's angry curses.
Because the power maintenance system was not working, the two could only rush up the stairs, running to more than ten floors in one breath, and then stopped in the stairwell to catch their breath.
"Good boy, Batman is really lucky to have you as his assistant." Poison Ivy panted and sighed, "You have offended both the good and evil sides in just one hour. What should we do now?"
Peter was about to answer, but he heard Schiller's voice beside him: "Peter, how are you? What are you doing now?"
"Running, doctor."
"Very good, remember to run faster."
Poison Ivy looked at Peter who was in a daze with an inquiring look. After Peter came to his senses, he exhaled and said, "If I say that using plant toxins to anesthetize people in the city is actually just the first step of the plan, will you fight me to death?"
"I really want to beat you up now." Poison Ivy held her knees with both hands and continued to pant and said, "Or you can put down this damn shield and try."
Peter immediately raised the shield in front of him and said, "I'm not that stupid, and you definitely can't beat me. I have seriously practiced using a shield as a weapon."
"Can you get down to business?"
"The second step is to drug Batman."
Poison Ivy coughed violently.
"And it's already worked."
Poison Ivy nearly choked herself to death.
"This magical race called symbiotes can produce offspring by splitting themselves." Peter sat on the windowsill behind him to rest and said, "You only need to split a few factors to produce a brand new offspring. According to my research, the direct offspring of symbiotes often have a strong hostility or appetite towards their parents."
"It can also be understood that they want to return to their original bodies and reunite with their parents. The more power they consume, the stronger this desire will be. This strong desire that humans cannot understand will subtly affect the host's mind and make them start to hunt blindly."
"So what?"
"I put the symbiote into the body of Arkham Knight and let the symbiote leave the split factor in the underground garage. If nothing unexpected happens, the offspring symbiote is now in Batman's body."
"Ah?"
"So in the next period of time, Batman will follow the instinct of the symbiote to find Arkham Knight. They should fight for several rounds, and we can take a breath for a while."
