"Damn!"

Jason gasped and looked at the dilapidated "monster" in front of him, the chainsaw had been paralyzed by the bat dart and lost the lethality of the sawtooth, and the giant tongs were also blown off in half, and the two spider legs that had not been used much and were curled up in front of the body of the toy spider were reluctantly removed by Jason, one was inserted into the wall on the side and the other fixed one of the spider legs of the "monster" to the floor. Thankfully, those legs don't seem to have any supplies.

Of the three pairs of spider legs used to move, only the last one on the right could barely move at the moment, but even if it became like this, this guy still insisted on catching Jason.

"It's really a tough enough guy, is there a stimulant in the potion of pig noodles?"

Whether it is in terms of explosive power or duration, this guy is far beyond the category of "people", huge giant pincers and chainsaws and the lower body of the mechanical spider that looks a bit like a giant toy, it takes a huge amount of energy to urge these things that do not belong to him, but at this moment, this guy seems to have inexhaustible physical strength, still trying to crawl in the direction of Jason, and humming from time to time.

Looking at the guy in front of him who could no longer be called a "human", Jason once again regretted that it was not him who was going to deal with Professor Pig-Noodles.

Batman's command came from the communicator in his ear, and it was very simple and in line with his usual style:

"Pig noodles set off a time bomb and leave immediately!"

Jason glanced at the brick walls around him, which had become brittle with age, and he knew exactly what the ripple effects would be if an explosion occurred here.

"Damn! And those three guys at the door."

Thinking of the three guys who just came in and found that they seemed to have just been brainwashed by drugs, they should be able to recover. Thinking of this, Jason hurriedly ran in the direction he came.

Jason, who had run two steps, suddenly stopped his movements, turned his head to look at the "man" on the ground, and said:

“.... Maybe it's better for you to die."

After saying this, Jason quickly left the place, he couldn't save the man. Pig Noodles's file also specifically noted that the victims of his transformation only died in the end, without exception, even if they did not commit suicide, they would eventually die due to various complications.

For this person who has completely lost everything that the "human" class should have, dying here without knowing anything may be the best knot, but the three guys at the door who are still saved, he must save them.

Jason hurried to the entrance where they entered, and a figure that should not have appeared appeared in Jason's sight:

"Why are you still here!??"

"Ahh That one.. I"

The fifth victim, and the only one who hadn't had time to transform the pig noodles, was crouching in front of the three rusty iron cages at the moment, tinkering with something.

After seeing the man's movements clearly, Jason understood the man's intentions:

"Is it open?"

Great, I don't know why this man is here, but he helped him a lot to open the cage.

"Hey.. Well.. I'm a locksmith..."

The man spoke about his profession, but Jason didn't have time to compliment him.

After trying to move the three cages, finding the cage where the wheels could still turn, he said to the man:

"Help me stuff the other two guys in"

"Huh?"

"Do it if you want to!"

"Oh good"

After hurriedly stuffing everyone into the small iron cage, the man helped Jason push the cage into the fork of the tunnel, and the first explosion was heard at the end of the tunnel before he could take a few steps.

The explosion sent a huge stream of air mixed with sewage flying around, and after looking at the walls that had begun to crack due to the explosion, Jason unceremoniously ordered the man:

"You go in too"

"Huh?"

"Don't be verbose, get in!"

Jason didn't give the man a chance to ask questions at all, opened the cage door and pushed the man in, the cage that was originally only used to hold one person squeezed four people into it at once, it was a little too reluctant, Jason had to kick the man's ass twice and then closed the cage door with a wire and simply buckled it.

"Sit down"

With that, Jason jumped into the cage, pulled out the grappling gun, and shot it at the end of the dark tunnel, fastening the grappling gun to the cage and pressing the shrink button.

The extreme stretching speed of the grappling hook makes the dilapidated iron cage look like a roller coaster, crashing around the tunnel with no clear sight and moving forward at a rapid pace.

The explosion behind it grew louder and louder, and the flames sprayed all over the tunnel, causing the old bricks to collapse where it touched.

"Hold on!"

As soon as Jason's voice fell, the entire cage was thrown out of this tunnel by a huge inertia. Due to inertia, the cage flew a short distance in the air, hit the opposite wall, and fell to the ground and fell apart.

Jason rolled on the spot as he landed, unloading the impact he was carrying, and an explosive stream of air erupted along the tunnel from which Jason and the others had come out, causing the wall to collapse.

"Whew~ It's okay here"

This section is a new drainage system built in the later period, and the scientific and reasonable planning and design make the ammonia here not accumulate too much, which cannot meet the necessary conditions for chain explosions, and of course the air smells a lot better.

Glancing at the collapsed ruins again, Jason was a little worried about whether Bruce had escaped from the other passages.

“... That..."

It was the man's voice that reminded Jason that there was such a guy. He took out the portable lamp and turned it on, looked at the man carefully, and made sure that he only had some skin injuries before leaving.

“.. That's what I'm going to do."

"Wait for the police to come, you can stay here, and whether the pig noodles do anything to you, you still need to go to the hospital to check it"

Jason checked the other three again, and they were all alive, as for any broken bones or whatever, we would know when the police took them to the hospital.

When I returned to the Batcave, the computer was playing the image of the police delivering the bundled pig noodles to the police car.

"Oh, Master Jason, are you alright, I saw news reports of an explosion in the underground pipe network"

“.... Ah Fu, I'm okay, hasn't Bruce come back yet? ”

Why is Pig Noodles still alive??!! Jason knew that Bruce had an inexplicable obsession with not killing people, but he thought that Bruce should have let that guy die in the underground of the explosion, why was that guy still alive??

"Cut!"

Bruce needed to exchange information with Gordon, so he came back a little late. When he returned, Jason had been standing in the bat cave looking furious, his uniform untouched and the stench of sewers.

"Why?!"

As soon as Bruce got out of the car, Jason immediately asked.

“.... Jason went to take a shower."

Batman's job meant that Bruce had to be involved everywhere, and sewers and stuff were the norm, but he still couldn't stand the constant stench on his body.

"Why is Pig Noodles still alive?"

Jason ignored Bruce's opinion and continued to ask in turn.

"He deserves to be judged by the law"

"The law will not judge a madman!"

Not every guy in Arkham will be judged, because they are all insane, even if they kill countless people, tear countless families apart, let a newlywed couple live and die, or let a new mother feel the pain of losing a child, but no one will judge a madman, they will only be locked up in Arkham Asylum, and they will always be innocent.

"Bruce, I thought you just didn't want to kill these guys yourself, but at least I thought you'd let them die"

"Their deaths won't solve anything"

"Why can't it be solved? When they die, they can no longer harm others! ”

"And then? There will be the next pig noodles."

"Then let's kill the next one!"

“... Jason, what's the difference between you and them? ”

"Of course, at least I won't do anything to innocent people! Bruce, when these guys run out of Arkham to kill people again, don't you feel a little guilty in the face of those victims? Don't you feel like you're indulging them in killing?!! ”

"Go back to your room!!"

Jason's accusation was interrupted by Bruce's angry shouting, and after glaring at Bruce fiercely for a long time, Jason turned around and left the Batcave, leaving a hateful sentence before leaving:

"Tania is right, you're a conceited bastard!"

“... Who is Tania? ”

Alfred wondered if the name he heard for the first time sounded like a lady's.

“... Thalia"

The reason why Bruce lost his temper with Jason was because the question he asked poked at the side he was least willing to face, every time the clown did evil after they escaped from prison, looking at those victims, he did ask himself like this, isn't his so-called principle an accomplice to these villains?

"Please don't confuse yourself with those villains, Master Bruce"

Alfred had grown up watching Bruce, and of course he knew what kind of effect Jason's words would have on this man.

"It's not your fault that you can't sentence those people to death, you've been trying to isolate them in Arkham"

There is no country in this world where the law is going to sentence a madman to death, and Bruce has been working hard to improve the security of Arkham Asylum to make sure that these guys who are thrown in don't have a chance to escape, but unfortunately, those independent grants feel more like they're all used to feed the dogs, and that's Gotham.

“... I know, Afu, I know"
