Chapter 32: Wrong and Right
Nightwing crouched on the rooftop, all the while looking at the man below who was fighting with a few of the guys who had teamed up to besiege him. Wearing a somewhat cheerful red hood, a strong physique, and a seemingly casual fighting style, the fight didn't seem to have any effect on him at all.
The red hood broke the black mask a few times, but the latter two times. The black mask with heavy losses will definitely not let him go. After squatting for the past few days, today Black Mask finally began to act.
Nightwing arrives from the time the bar starts to mess up, he's been there all along, but he doesn't mean to make a move. He was waiting, like Black Mask, for the red hood to appear.
Nightwing couldn't laugh at the thought of what he looked under the red hood.
He still remembers that day vividly, the boy lying quietly in the coffin, passing by the hands of the makeup artist, the bruises and scars on the boy's face were covered, and it looked like he was quietly asleep, and the specially tailored mourning clothes looked like a high-end suit on him. It was he who put the lid on him and carried the coffin to the tomb.
Looking at the man who is fighting below, it looks like a casual movement, but there is no flaw at all. This speaks volumes about the fact that he is very professionally trained. In addition, Nightwing has an inexplicable familiarity with the way Red Hood fights.
Yes, you see, that's it, a roundhouse kick followed by a leg sweep to stop the people behind from sneaking up. This kind of offensive and defensive fighting technique is too familiar....
Red Hood knocked the last guy to the ground and couldn't get up again, and the fight was perfectly divided, and as Nightwing expected, Red Hood won a big victory.
Nightwing looked at the guy who was talking to someone on his head, and didn't know why the action was so familiar to him.
"Who the hell are you?"
Red Hood had already eliminated Black Mask's men, and it looked like he wasn't going to stay here any longer. A wise decision. Because Nightwing knew that the Black Mask was squatting at other points, and began to rush here as soon as the Red Hood came out.
The red hood climbed to the top of the building with a few taps along the fire ladder next to the building, and then left immediately without hesitation.
"You're really skilled."
The red hood climbed to the top of the building to see how strong this man's arm strength was.
Nightwing turned on the mask's tracking function without saying a word, and chased after him. The Red Hood moves very quickly, and running between the top of the floors is almost indistinguishable. It's hard to imagine that his physique can be so dexterous.
Red Hood came to a halt on the roof of a wide building after running through a few streets.
"Are you waiting for me?"
Nightwing then jumped onto the roof, Red Hood leaning against the ventilation tube with his hands on his chest, apparently waiting for him.
Red Hood was waiting for him, and he knew he was there when Nightwing was standing on the roof watching the play, and the reason why he had been running for so long was just to make sure that the old bat hadn't joined the night run.
"Man, can you take your helmet off? I think we have something to talk about, and if you don't think it's fair, I can take off my mask."
Nightwing wasn't deception, since this guy already knew Tim's identity, and he brought them to know it, his identity would have been revealed long ago. On the other hand, even if his identity is not revealed, it is only a matter of time. It is a very cost-effective thing to exchange a thing that the other party will know sooner or later for information that you don't know so far.
"Get out of the way!"
Red Hood didn't seem to feel anything about Nightwing's tentative kindness, and his cold tone couldn't make it any less cold, even through the metal helmet.
Nightwing pretended to scratch his head inadvertently and quietly turned on the recording device, although it was hindered by the helmet, but at least the voiceprint could be analyzed.
"Hey! Man, I don't mean to get in the way, but what you do... A little too much."
Nightwing said as he slowly approached, trying to take advantage of the opportunity to slowly approach this guy. Judging by what Red Hood is doing so far, at least he's a communicative guy, which is much better than the Joker.
"Excessive? Dick. Grayson, you're still so naΓ―ve! How many innocent people have died because of your innocence. Like the father of that new bird! β
Nightwing's words made Nightwing stunned for a moment, this guy really knew his identity. And he actually knew the truth about Tim's father's death.
Everyone thought that Tim's father was involved in the Captain Boomerang incident and died, and no one knew that Captain Boomerang was specifically going to assassinate the man. It's just that he has some uncertain evidence that Tim has some kind of relationship with "Robin", and he wants to give "Robin" a warning.
β... Listen, I know it was the anonymous phone call you made to the police station before the fight, but you can't play with someone's name like that, we don't have the right to take someone's life, and it's not legal..."
"Ha~~~"
Nightwing's words caused a hoarse mockery to be heard from under the red hood, and it took a while for the red hood to finally stop laughing:
"A guy who casually broke into someone's house to collect evidence, beat up the street thugs at will, and placed eavesdropping and surveillance everywhere, actually told me this! No! Combine! Law?! β
Nightwing had no courage to reply to the red-hooded rhetorical question, and what they did was illegal in itself, which is why many councillors have been demanding that they be caught.
β.. But you don't have the right to take their lives, they also have their own families and children to raise..."
"Do you feed it with that blood-stained money?"
"You don't know, just because what we're doing is no different from these guys, that's why we're going to draw a red line on our behavior, which is..."
"That imaginary red line that can be broken at any time is what separates you from this garbage?!"
Nightwing didn't know if it was his own delusion, how did he think that Red Hood's words carried a strong killing intent.
The red hood had changed from a leaning position to a standing state, and the arms wrapped around his chest had been put back to his sides, and he slowly walked towards him. This man's action caused Nightwing to suddenly go into a state of alertness.
"You're beating up someone who hasn't been tried by a court, you're going into someone's private territory to search for evidence, you're spying on someone else, you're hacking into the system of the state security services, you're downloading and copying unauthorized materials, and then you're drawing a line for yourself to prove that you're different from those guys? Do you think it's a kid's game of playing house, pretending to be a dad? β
Red Hood finally stopped, and stood not far or near Nightwing and said:
"I'm not interested in playing vigilante games with you to satisfy your vanity and conceit. I'm going to handle it all my way, don't get in the way, or I'll kill you all together!" β
