Chapter 46: First Face to Face

"You really don't care?"

The clown easily turned on the lighter and stretched his arm as high as possible above the opening of the carriage. Inside the carriage were a group of black masks that he tied up like zongzi, and he also "intimately" poured "honey" on them.

"Do I look like Batman?"

Red Hood still stood still, waiting, waiting for the old bat to appear. The Joker is number one on the list of the leaderboards that the man has to deal with, and he's bound to show up.

The clown didn't understand Red Hood's thoughts, but Red Hood's completely unconventional answer made the comedic effect that the clown originally expected was not achieved, and even made the steps that he was originally going to say later not come out.

"You're really boring, or are you a little bat"

The clown pursed his lips and said this unhappily, along with his falling voice and the lighter in his hand. The windproof lighter flipped several times in the air with a powerful flame and landed accurately into the carriage.

The smoke and screams that rose from inside the carriage made the police on the periphery start to act.

Compared to the chaos below, the red hood still didn't move, and even the whole person turned into a statue, standing there motionless. No one knew that under the red mask at this moment, the eagle-like eyes were staring closely at the distant sky.

A bat-shaped plane quickly approached this way in the dark night, and quickly slid across the bridge before everyone noticed, and the dry fire extinguishing agent sprayed the clown through the vent to connect the car under his feet, which was also filled with fire extinguishing agent, and a vicious arson was extinguished.

Before everyone could react, the batmachine crossed the bridge and made a nimbly U-turn and flew towards the Joker again. A hook gun protrudes from underneath the fuselage, and the muzzle of the gun is aimed at the clown and ejects the hook with the steel cable, hitting the clown's collar with precision, and hoisting him off the bridge in plain sight.

"Humph! The stealth performance of this aircraft is really getting more and more perverted. ”

The Batmachine's stealth capabilities are beyond anyone's imagination, and it can even absorb sound waves from the surrounding space to create a stealth effect, although you can also hear the thunderous roar if it wants.

Now, its stealth seems to have become even stronger, and as it crosses the bridge, it feels like a fresh breeze blowing across the river.

But now is not the time for him to marvel at the plane's stealth capabilities. This amazing plane is trying to leave here with his most important "prey".

The soft rope swings around as the clown struggles. Red Hood was at the most suitable distance and quickly climbed the slender rope.

Before the man sitting in the plane could react, he quickly cut the rope and, according to the rules of gravity, fell into the rushing river with the clown.

Batman turned on the underwater tracking radar the moment the two fell into the river, a feature that was added to the plane the last time they lost the Red Hood on the surface.

[Hmph! Sure enough, a new gadget has been added to the plane.]

The red hood under the water finally managed to get rid of the clown, but after discovering the plane in the sky that was closely following, he knew that this time he would not be able to get rid of the "iron bird" so easily.

Following the river to the intended location, the Red Hood dragged the clown ashore. The clown, of course, was not such a submissive captive, and it took a bit of effort to get the croaking guy to shut up.

Batman's plane followed, and Red Hood wasn't surprised that he didn't get rid of Batman, and it could even be said that this was the situation he wanted.

"Give him to me"

Batman gets out of the plane and stands across from the Red Hood. He wasn't sure how he was going to face this man. Can he think that is Jason? Or is it just Jason's darkest part of his emotions? Or is it just someone with memories but completely irrelevant?

He wasn't ready, so he could only say what he wanted from the criminals.

"No!"

The expected answer was still the kind of cold mechanical synthesized sound without any emotional fluctuations.

Batman stood still and looked at the man, looking casual without the slightest flaw, Batman knew very well because this defensive posture was what he had taught him.

His eyes were fixed on the crimson helmet, guessing the expression under the helmet, and the processed voice could not hear any mood swings at all.

"Hand him over to me, and he will be punished as he deserves..."

"What punishment? Arkham luxury five-star vacation? ”

Although there was no fluctuation in the tone, the mocking taste in the words could be heard by anyone who was not a fool.

Batman didn't speak, Arkham's shortcomings are something that the whole of Gotham knows, and even some councillors have asked for the revocation of Arkham Asylum because it is completely unable to play the role it should have. The proposal even came close to passing several times, as a growing number of lawmakers decided that imprisoning so many dangerous, high-IQ maniacs was a risky thing in itself.

Wayne Enterprises also provides Arkham with as much money and technology as possible for security, but the advanced system cannot change the human vulnerability.

Penguins, Two-Faces, and other guys with white power won't stay in it for too long, and the huge political connections and strong team of lawyers are enough to get them out of it quickly.

"There are a lot of interesting places to visit in Arkham."

The clown, who was sitting on the side with a red hood and a collar like garbage, suddenly spoke.

His words succeeded in attracting the attention of the two saber-rattling people. Red Hood pulls it out of his bag and aims at the Joker's head, only to be stopped by a bat mark before he can pull the trigger.

“... Do you want to save him? ”

Red Hood looked at the pistol on the ground that belonged to him.

"No, just to stop you from continuing to kill...."

Batman controlled his vocal cords as much as possible to make his voice sound calm.

“.... I didn't expect you to not only kill him, but also want to save him..."

The sound of the Red Hood, which was supposed to be emotionless, sounded like it had come out of hell at the moment.

"Hey! Can any of you explain it to me? ”

The clown is like an actor who can't fit into the role, and abruptly says things that don't fit in. He hated things he didn't know, and it didn't seem interesting at all.

The answer was a flying kick from the Red Hood, right in the chest, and the powerful impact almost stopped his heartbeat.

Batman rushed over almost at the same moment, leaking the only flaw in the moment when he kicked the Joker with the red hood....
