Chapter 2068: Knight's Night of Terror (XII)

In the hazy light, Robin felt that he was being dragged. He moved his dry lips and tried to lift his heavy eyelids.

The light was very dim, but it took his eyes less time to adapt. He saw a dark shadow wearing a tights and no mask. Judging from his body shape, it was not Nightwing.

Robin didn't dare to speak at all, because he had realized something and just pretended to be unconscious, but other than that, he had nothing else to do because he couldn't control his limbs at all.

He heard a familiar voice in the darkness.

"I'd love to say... but I'm a little busy now..."

Peter... It was Peter Parker. Robin closed his eyes in pain. Did his own initiative to come to the door make Batman relax his vigilance? Why didn't his new assistant go through the test?

Batman wouldn't be so careless, so what exactly did Peter Parker use to confuse Batman?

After the accident that caused the whole city to be unconscious, Robin went to investigate. He knew where there was equipment to monitor the air flow in the whole city, and he rushed to the weather control center of Wayne Tower as soon as the accident happened.

Robin was smart because he did not go directly to the central hall of the weather controller, but went to the monitoring room of Wayne Tower and directly retrieved the monitoring of the weather control center.

So he witnessed the whole process of Peter putting the red mucus into the body of Arkham Knight.

More importantly, he saw Peter take off the mask of Arkham Knight, and the face behind him was very familiar to him. It was Jason Todd, and there was a photo of him in the Batcave.

Robin was stunned on the spot. Could Peter Parker have something to do with Jason Todd's disappearance?

Even if it didn't matter, he attacked Jason and put a ball of mucus into his body that he didn't know what it was but looked very scary.

Robin immediately realized that Peter Parker was wrong, but when he wanted to contact Batman, he found that the signal band of his communicator was blocked, and then he was attacked.

Very good, Peter Parker must be wrong, because Batman wants all his Robins to call him all the time, and he will never block anyone's communication frequency.

The prophet has no motive to do this, not to mention that Barbara just gave him a communicator that can contact Nightwing. She hopes that everyone can keep in touch, and it is even more impossible to block the communication.

So who else has this authority? I'm afraid the only one left is the latest uninvited guest in the Bat Cave, the kid codenamed Spider-Man.

Peter Parker didn't come today. He has been here for a while, but Robin has never met him until the operation to arrest the Riddler a few days ago, when Robin saw how powerful he is.

This guy has a spider-like mutant ability. Not only can he shoot spider silk, but he can also climb on the wall quickly. More importantly, he is extremely powerful. At that time, Robin felt that this was not the style of Batman looking for an assistant.

But now it's right. Batman's assistant is a super criminal or something, which is in line with his unlucky style.

At this time, another figure came over. Robin tried to roll his eyes up, wanting to see clearly but afraid of being discovered. Fortunately, the figure spoke soon.

"Hey, Gordon and his daughter, and Batman's Robin, what do you want to do? Stop it! Peter! I can't accompany you to go crazy like this."

"Ms. Poison Ivy, please have some awareness of super criminals. Besides, you just anesthetized them, not killed them."

"Then why don't you have the awareness of a superhero assistant?! You destroyed Gotham City twice, and now you want to destroy the Bat Family. Your brilliant record has surpassed the Joker!"

Spider-Man sighed, stuffed Robin into the deepest part of the cargo compartment, got in the car, sat in the driver's seat and looked at Poison Ivy and said: If you don't go with me and get caught by Batman alone, the bones of your limbs will definitely not be saved. "

"But if I go with you, my life will be in danger!"

"That's for the future. Believe me, Batman won't go crazy. He is in a period of emotional relief and is lost in thought. This will cause him to temporarily ignore what is happening in reality. We have to take this opportunity to quickly resolve the evidence."

Poison Ivy was helpless, but she finally got in the car. She knew that without Peter, who was as predictable as a god, she would be caught by Batman in no time.

The city was destroyed and family members were captured. Poison Ivy couldn't imagine what Batman would do to her in order to force clues. She was not a member of the Joker family, which was known for its recovery ability.

The truck drove all the way in the city, and drove very far, until Robin couldn't figure out the direction of the vehicle, but from the light coming through the crack of the truck door, it could be seen that the car was leaving the city.

Robin listened attentively to the noises in the car. He heard that Peter and Poison Ivy should have gotten off the car, so he tried hard to wake up, regain control of his limbs and escape.

But the feeling of paralysis followed him like a shadow. Robin guessed that he must have been poisoned by plant toxins. This thing is very troublesome. Without specific drugs, it is impossible to get rid of it by self-metabolism.

After trying to recover for a while without any progress, Robin began to think of other ways, such as using the communication equipment on his body to contact Batman, but at this moment, the door of the truck compartment was opened again.

A heavy sack was lifted up, and Poison Ivy and Peter both got into the compartment. The sack was opened, and another corpse was found.

No, it was not a corpse. Robin could hear the faint breathing of the third person, and it seemed that because Poison Ivy had no night vision, they still brought an emergency flashlight to illuminate the darkness in the compartment.

With this light, Robin recognized the man who was tied up, mainly the black mask on his face.

Why is Black Mask here? Isn't he dead?

Black Mask's mouth was sealed with tape, and wires were wrapped all over his body. Judging from the marks of strangulation, he was tied up for at least half a month. Even if he couldn't see his eyes, Robin could read his fear from his body movements.

Robin never thought that he would empathize with a super criminal, but at this moment he was indeed a little terrified. Peter Parker had kidnapped Black Mask half a month ago.

In fact, Robin's investigation into Black Mask's death was more detailed than Batman's. He had been busy investigating the case for some time before, so he didn't meet Peter.

Robin actually wanted to prove himself in front of Batman and prove that he could solve the case independently. Black Mask's death was not a big case, but at least he was a well-known villain. Robin felt that if he could complete the investigation independently, he could also prove his ability in front of Batman.

But Gordon obviously didn't take this case so seriously. Although everyone could see that Black Mask didn't commit suicide by jumping off the building, but was pushed down by someone, Gordon only regarded it as a vendetta caused by the mutual infighting of gangs.

So when Robin arrived at the scene, Gordon did not wait for Batman to preserve the scene as he had done in the past, but sent the body away early to prevent Black Mask's men from counterattacking and fighting.

At this critical moment, the Riddler incident happened, and Robin was transferred by Batman to catch the Riddler with Peter.

Batman's explanation at the time was that Peter had just arrived and was not familiar with the road conditions in Gotham, and you needed to help him find the Riddler hiding in the streets.

Not to mention that Peter could have used the Sky Eye system to find it himself, isn't this timing too coincidental?

When Robin wanted to go to the morgue to see the body of Black Mask again, Gordon said helplessly that the black police in the police station had destroyed the body.

At that time, Robin and Gordon discussed the Black Mask case, and Gordon gave the information that the black police in the police station were likely to be Penguin's people.

Robin also suspected Penguin, but it was obvious that the cunning of the super criminal exceeded his expectations. Neither the surveillance camera nor the Sky Eye system could capture the image of Penguin entering and leaving Black Mask's lair.

Now it seems that it was not Penguin who entered and left Black Mask's lair, but Peter Parker, so it makes sense.

This guy can climb walls, swing on spider webs, and has great strength. Isn't it easy for him to hide from a surveillance camera?

There is one last question, why did he kidnap Black Mask?

Peter cooperated very well and tore off the tape on Black Mask's mouth and said to him: "Mr. Black Mask, if you don't want to be locked up for so long, give me the evidence of Penguin's crime. I need your help, please."

"You lunatic!!!" Black Mask screamed: "You damn, shameless, evil lunatic!!!"

"You'd better think about it again, Mr. Sionis, think about the concentrated fear venom capsule in your lungs, which can completely burn your brain within 0.2 seconds..."

Black Mask twitched a few times on the spot, took a deep breath and said: "Damn straw People, damn it, damn it..."

Peter half-knelt on the spot and looked at Black Mask's face and said: "Penguin is going to break the contract first, and Professor Crane needs some help to let him know what price the person who breaks his promise will pay."

Black Mask gritted his teeth and said: "I can give you the evidence, but after you let me go."

"You know you have no room for negotiation."

Black Mask sighed deeply and said: "Tell Jonathan that I'm in trouble this time. He has a good student. Go to my safe house on Riegel Street and find the tape on the second row of the bookshelf..."

Robin was completely stunned.

The relationship between the characters shown in the previous conversation is a bit too complicated. Even he has to sort it out for a while before he can react.

In other words, this Peter Parker who suddenly appeared is actually a student of Scarecrow Jonathan Crane.

Scarecrow must have been preparing his plan to destroy the city with fear gas for more than one or two days, so it is not impossible that he would train a student in advance to lurk beside Batman.

A few weeks ago, Peter Parker suddenly appeared beside Batman, perhaps helping him complete the case, or providing him with other help, so that Batman discovered his talent and naturally became his assistant.

Then, under the name of internship, Peter Parker began to familiarize himself with the terrain and situation of Gotham, and at the same time, he targeted the old enemy of Penguin, Black Mask, and tried to make Black Mask fake his death and kidnap him.

All this is actually to help Scarecrow perfect his plan. As long as Black Mask can provide evidence of Penguin's crime, Scarecrow can force Penguin to cooperate with him.

After Black Mask was kidnapped, Penguin was not sure whether Scarecrow had obtained the evidence, so he pretended to be cooperative and provided some help to Scarecrow.

Now Penguin has become restless, so Peter Parker found the imprisoned Black Mask again, wanting to get the real evidence.

Thinking of the two military vehicles that appeared before, Robin can be sure that the help provided by Penguin to Scarecrow is to provide him with military vehicles and munitions, which is the capital for Scarecrow's team to do evil in Gotham City.

And Peter mentioned in his words that he buried a capsule of fear gas concentrate in Black Mask's body, which must have come from Scarecrow.

And Peter Parker has been with Batman for several weeks. Will Batman also...

Robin desperately wants to raise his hand and press the communication device on his arm to remind Batman that this action to destroy Gotham is not as simple as it seems.

There was a mastermind who had been planning and strategizing weeks ago, weaving a dark web, vowing to put the entire Gotham City and the Bat Family to death.

Various clues passed through Robin's mind like the wind. A second before he fainted, he looked at the truck door that closed again, and silently recited the name of this terrible mastermind in his heart - "Super Criminal Scarecrow!"

Scarecrow: ...?
