Chapter 199 Then the Mirror Master Knelt Down Gently
"What are you doing?"
Killer Croc touched his chin, unsure whether he, as Robin, should go up to help or what.
Batman did not go into Midtown Hospital, but took him to the roof of the hospital.
From the rooftop, Chen Tao's lower body turned into a floating nanorobot, holding him and floating along the outer wall, and jumped directly into a room on the second floor.
A question mark floated above Killer Croc's head: "Hey, Batman! I haven't gotten in the car yet!"
"Wait here." Chen Tao told him: "It is a tradition for Batman to leave Robin behind and act on his own. You should learn..."
Then he turned his head and saw Killer Croc climbing the wall with his claws, following him. He was obviously huge, but still as flexible as a mouse. In order to enter the room, he even groaned, and then his body shrank a little.
He said:
"Ignoring Batman's orders is also Robin's traditional skill."
Chen Tao was speechless.
He no longer cared about Killer Croc, but concentrated on operating the equipment in front of him.
This room is the power distribution room of Midtown Hospital. He checked carefully before entering. There are no mirrors or anything with a smooth surface that can reflect reflections in the room.
Great.
"What are you going to..."
"I want to leave myself a little trick." Chen Tao told Killer Croc: "Now I can cut off the power supply of any room in this building at any time."
He stood up, his eyes flashing with a fascinating light: "Let's go. Let's go meet the famous Rogue Gang in Midtown... or the incomplete version of it."
Then he pushed open the door of the power distribution room and walked out openly.
Killer Croc followed him: "Ah? I thought we didn't have to fight this time."
"We need to talk, but we are not the Flash."
Chen Tao said:
"We don't have a 100% success buff for need talk."
A nurse passed by the corridor with a medical record in her hand, yawning, and bumped into Chen Tao and Killer Croc.
Killer Croc, wearing a Robin uniform, smiled at her.
"Aiya——" the nurse screamed, threw the medical record card to the ground, turned around and ran away.
Killer Croc froze for a moment, turned his head with resentment, and looked at Batman aggrievedly: "I thought you would knock him out or let us sneak in or something."
Chen Tao ignored him. He turned his head and saw that at the edge of the corridor, a figure in orange and green was fading rapidly in a smooth tile.
He knew who the other party was.
Mirror Master, Sam Scudder, another important member of the Rogues, and the lover of Captain Cold's sister Lisa Snart.
"Keep going."
Chen Tao said: "Use your dignity to scare away as many irrelevant people in the hospital as possible."
He said: "I'm afraid we have to fight. The Rogues are going through a very, very difficult time now, and the Mirror Master will do everything to protect his lover."
……
……
……
I am the Mirror Master, Sam Scudder.
I used to work in a mirror factory, but one time I accidentally mixed the wrong chemicals in a mirror.
As all legends say, the mirror should have been scrapped, but it wasn't. Instead, it had the ability to connect dimensions.
Through studying this mirror, I learned the ability to create mirrors and teleportation with various effects, and made my own mirror gun, and started my criminal career happily.
What happened next?
Then I joined the Rogues.
And the reason we got together was simple: The Flash was so damn strong.
To deal with someone as fast as the Flash, the number of people can tip the scales. And some of us can melt cars, create frost, and summon blizzards with a wave of a wand.
Even if this speedster is fast, it will take some effort to deal with us.
We have money, ability, and plans, and even a little respect from other criminals, and many admirers, like the Rainbow Bandit and the rookie magician who came to Midtown just to get a place in the Rogues.
To be fair, I know we are outlaws, and what we do is technically illegal...
But here's the thing, we live in the greatest country in the world, full of opportunities, right? Everyone has the right to make a living doing what they do best.
The easiest jobs for us are robbery and theft, so it's our fault?
You can blame our parents, or society, or whoever you think is appropriate, it doesn't matter.
We are just a bunch of ordinary people who work hard and don't fit in, trying to survive in the world.
Believe it or not. We abide by certain rules, three principles:
First, don't kill unless you have to. The police are just doing their job.
Second, we don't touch drugs. It's not that we are not evil, but drugs always lead to violating the first principle.
And third, win.
We always adhere to these three principles, and we are proud of them.
People often say that a hero is as strong as his enemy.
According to this, the Flash is more powerful than the entire US Army combined. Just try it.
The Flash may think we are slow, but who can be faster than him?
People always don't understand that there is a reason why the Scoundrels always force the Flash to go all out.
The Scoundrels are never satisfied with the status quo. As long as there is more profit, the Scoundrels will come back. People don't understand that our relationship is much closer than many people think.
We steal things, we rob, and this is what we do.
There was an unwritten rule in the Scoundrels, a bond stronger than death itself, that we watched each other's backs until we died fighting -
Okay, but that's all in the past.
I used to thank Captain Cold whenever I could, not just because he led us, but more importantly because he introduced me to his sister, Lisa Snart, the Golden Glider, the love of my life.
I would die for Lisa.
The Scoundrels were such a family.
But Captain Cold destroyed it himself.
Anyway, this is what happened:
For a long time, even with our high-tech equipment, it was difficult for us to compete with the speedsters, and Captain Cold...
He was the leader, and he thought he should have been drinking with us and celebrating the greatest crime in history, instead of drowning in sadness, drinking whiskey, and doing unskilled looting.
Under the pressure of not being able to defeat the Flash, Captain Cold went crazy. And you know what the worst thing was? He dragged the whole Scoundrels crazy with him and sent us all to hell.
A year and a half ago, Captain Cold found a thing called a gene recombination machine. According to him, this thing can rewrite the DNA of all the Rogues, so that our bodies and superpowers can be integrated, and we will become superhumans, just like the Flash.
We all believed his lies.
"How do you know this thing will work?"
"What do we have to lose?"
"You have hit your head against the wall again and again, and the Flash easily disarmed you. You fought hard but it was useless. Haven't you had enough? This machine will completely turn the situation around!"
"Put the weapon in the machine, and let's have a good fight!"
"Are you kidding, Leon?"
"No joke, Lisa."
That was all our conversations, and then we were like fools, trying a machine whose effect we didn't know at all.
Captain Cold said he was no joke. He brainwashed me and everyone else. The Rogues entrusted all their trust to Captain Cold...
What did they get in return?
Yes, the gene recombination machine worked, and it gave the Rogues superpowers, but at what cost?
I am forever trapped in the mirror world.
And the Golden Glider, my Lisa, was forced to leave her body and become a spirit. Every time she touches anything, she can only maintain it for a short time.
Her spirit wanders around, but the real her can't move a step, and she is living a life worse than death.
Heat wave... Poor guy, his whole body is burned. Do you know how painful it is for burn patients? But Mick's whole body is scorched.
The life of the weather wizard is more cloudy than sunny. His mood fluctuates with the weather. Although he has escaped the shackles of the weather magic wand, he has completely lost the ability to control his mood.
He suffers from depression and various mental illnesses. All psychological treatments and drug interventions are useless to him. His emotions only follow the damn weather!
The Rogue Gang is finished. We are divided and fighting each other. We want to kill Captain Cold, but this coward runs away without saying a word, leaving us alone...
At this moment.
This is the second-floor ward of Midtown Hospital. Golden Glider Lisa Snart was lying on the bed, wrapped in bandages.
Mirror Master Sam's figure appeared on a mirror next to him.
Due to the error of super powers, he could no longer appear in the real world.
"Lisa... Lisa..."
He called the beauty on the bed in a low voice, but got no response.
So Mirror Master frowned.
"I won't let anyone hurt you, Lisa." He promised: "Batman, and Killer Croc, no matter what their purpose is, I will not let them get close to your room."
There was a silver light in his eyes, and he made up his mind.
At the same time...
"Oh my God? What is this!" Killer Croc screamed.
Now they were no longer walking in the corridor of Midtown Hospital, but appeared in a space full of broken mirrors.
And their enemies...Mirror Masters, there were hundreds and thousands of them.
"This is not fair!"
Killer Croc was just about to stand up when he was hugged by dozens of Mirror Masters and was directly crushed into a crocodile.
He heard the other party's voice, layer upon layer, echoing in countless people's mouths.
"Welcome to the mirror world, this can be called my territory, but I still call him by his real name - prison!"
Killer Croc roared, and huge power burst out from his body, directly blowing away dozens of Mirror Master's clones, but it was useless. Mirror Master just snapped his fingers lightly, and then more identical clones continued to gush out from other mirrors.
Killer Croc was caught off guard and was hit on the forehead by one of them.
"Ouch!"
"The situation has changed, we have evolved, and become many people... more and more!"
Killer Croc decisively gave up.
He turned his head and looked at Batman who was standing next to him and watching the show: "Wow! Save your Robin quickly, if you don't do it, I will be crushed to death!"
As he spoke, he tried hard to pull off the countless mirror masters on his body, and then he was pulled out of a tooth by the other party with a sudden force, and screamed in pain.
Chen Tao ignored Robin's call for help.
He was staring at the mirror master.
The other party seemed to have realized how dangerous Batman was, so he picked the weakest persimmon and did not manipulate those clones to attack him.
It must be said that Sam limited the conflict within a certain limit, which was undoubtedly a smart move. As the man who temporarily replaced the captain's position when Captain Cold was away in the original work, even if he was imprisoned in the mirror world, his strategic mind was no less.
"Leave here, Batman."
But love makes people blind.
Although he said this, Chen Tao had noticed that he was preparing to exile them into a deeper mirror world.
That is a realm that even the Mirror Master cannot reach, full of strange creatures from various dimensions and various unknown dangers.
Chen Tao looked at the image of the Mirror Master in front of him.
This is probably not a real person. The other party has mixed himself well into a large number of clones, or simply is not here.
"We need to talk."
Chen Tao told him.
You launched "We need talk"!
You failed to talk, please change into the Flash's clothes and try again!
"I have nothing to talk about with you superheroes."
Silver light flashed in the eyes of the Mirror Master.
Since he gained superpowers, this ability has also been very unstable for him, and he himself doesn't even know when it will go wrong.
The attempt to open a deeper mirror world portal is also a very dangerous act for him, but he has no choice.
He knows very well how powerful Batman is, so either he doesn't do it or he goes all out, otherwise he will only lose.
Once he loses, then Lisa...
The Mirror Master made up his mind.
Then he saw Batman snap his fingers.
Woo-woo-woo...
He heard a strange sound in the room of the Golden Glider, as if the instruments that maintained the Golden Glider's life were groaning and all stopped working.
The Mirror Master's movements came to an abrupt stop.
Then all the mirrors in front of him shattered at that moment. Killer Croc raised his head from a pile of broken mirrors and saw the real body of the Mirror Master appearing from another distant mirror, rushing towards the two of them.
"He's here, you forced out his real body, Batman."
Killer Croc rubbed his hands: "Finally it's time for a fair fight! One-on-one! Face to face!"
Closer, closer and closer.
Killer Croc raised his fist.
With a cool sound, the Mirror Master slid to his knees, and the mirrors formed a channel under his feet, allowing him to slide all the way and kneel directly in front of Chen Tao.
"Please, turn on the power quickly!"
The anxious Mirror Master grabbed Chen Tao's trouser leg.
"Without electricity, the medical equipment that sustains Lisa's life won't work, and Lisa will die!"
"Please, please!"
