129. The storm is coming, and the undercurrent is surging
"My dog is hungry! Batman! ”
Black Mask shouted excitedly when he saw the pitch-black figure that suddenly appeared.
The pointed ears that stood up high, the cloak that fluttered like a flag, and the way it came out of the shadows without a sound.
Without a doubt, this is Batman!
The scarecrow was the first to retract into the car, ordering his men to pick up their scorpion submachine guns, ready to shoot them into a sieve.
"It's a pity you're only alone!"
Black Mask seemed to regret a little and asked his men to let go of the metal dog chain.
A few barking pitbulls pounced on Batman like bulls.
Boom!
The next scene left Black Mask and the Scarecrow dumbfounded.
The Batman standing in the shadows actually held a shotgun in both hands and blasted the pounced Pitbull directly out!
The gunshot sounded like a horn, followed by several guys dressed like Batman.
They all had guns in their hands and fired directly at the two gangsters.
For a while, the "da-da-da" gunfire violently echoed in the underground garage, like a roaring thunder.
"This isn't Batman! Kill them all! ”
Black Mask yells in exasperation and slams his punch into the rushing Batman impersonator.
After knocking down the other party, he raised his foot and kicked heavily on the head wearing a bat hood.
"Poor parody show. If Batman were as a waste like you, he would have been hanged by me in the port area of Naho Island! ”
Black Mask spoke in a contemptuous tone, these guys were obviously a group of amateur actors, and they dared to come and play heroes with a few guns.
You don't have to do it yourself, those few fierce Pitbulls are enough to scare them out!
In the midst of the scuffle where gunshots erupted, the Black Mask's specially bred Pitbull, like a red-eyed bullfight, bit several Batman imitators.
This fierce breed of dog, which is specially designed to be used as a fighting dog, has thick skin and hard bones, is born with slow pain nerves, and has amazing explosiveness!
For example, the pitbull that was blown away by a shotgun can still struggle to get up after a few convulsions.
As if it had been stimulated, the stinking saliva dripped down its fangs and flew towards the enemy again!
"Damn it! Help me! It bites my bones off! ”
A Batman impersonator yells in panic like a child who can't find his mother.
Poor, weak, and helpless.
No matter how much he struggled, the pitbull that bit his arm would not let go.
The terrible bite force, the sharp fangs, as if they could bite a hard bone in one bite.
Blood gushed out, and the pain was unbearable!
Because the pitbull has no nerve endings under the skin, once it bites an enemy, it will not let go again.
Even the Batman imitator smashed Pitbull's head into a bloody blur with the shotgun in his hand.
But the sharp fangs still tore through the flesh and stuck firmly in the arm.
"A 'Batman' that can't be solved by a dog? Let me teach you a free lesson and tell you how vicious the criminals of Gotham really are these third-rate actors with bloody reality! ”
Black Mask's eyes gleamed as he took a baseball bat from his men and walked over to the wailing Batman imitator.
Raise your hand and smash it down!
Boom –
A steel beast crashes through the exterior wall of the garage and appears in a shocking way.
The armored car crushed a Mercedes-Benz sedan parked there, and the huge tires ran over the body, breaking into the sight of the gangsters.
"This is like Batman!"
Black Mask threw away the baseball bat in his hand and snatched an M3 submachine gun from his hand.
Da-da-da-da!
Metal bullets "clanged" at the armored car, splashing sparks and not even piercing the tires.
It's like a child hammering a giant in the chest with a small fist, which has no effect other than tickling it.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
Just as Black Mask was considering whether to take out the RPG bazooka in the car, the armored car, which looked like a steel beast, roared and fired several powerful shells!
Fortunately, it only hit the open area of the garage and blew up a few cars, without hurting anyone.
At this moment, the two gangs of gangsters were scared!
It's like a street thug brawl that results in a policeman with a machine gun.
It's completely an unequal power, an unequal competition.
Seeing the gangsters who fled in the wilderness, the rescued Batman imitators, picked up the guns in their hands.
A powerful arm suddenly poked out of the darkness and snapped the barrel of the gun!
"You are not needed here."
Defeating several imitators, Batman slams the pounced Pitbull against the wall.
Then chase after the fleeing Black Mask and the Scarecrow!
Batman has been eyeing these two guys for a while, and they are one of the few criminal bosses in Gotham who still dares to run out at night.
The Scarecrow had been inhaled too much of the fear gas and was locked up in the Arkham Asylum due to insanity.
But just two weeks ago, as expected, he escaped, killing two nurses and the attending physician in the process.
And the scarecrow who regained his freedom seems to have overcome the effects of fear and poison gas and turned into the number one drug lord in the old city.
As for the Black Mask, after Sofia Falcone reoccupied the island, he became a lost dog.
can only nest on Sullivan Island, which originally belonged to the Maroney family, and plan to make a comeback!
However, Batman obviously won't let him get his wish.
Forty minutes later, there was a thrilling chase and wrestling.
Both groups were captured alive by Batman and tied up.
The Scarecrow and the Black Mask were removed from their hoods and masks, and like the thugs and Batman imitators, they lost their resistance and waited in the corner for the police to come.
"Batman, it's not going to end like this! A storm is coming! Gotham will be hell then! ”
Black Mask looked at the pitch-black figure standing in front of him and roared loudly.
He was stripped of his black skull mask, revealing his true form.
Roman Siennis, once another of Gotham's geniuses.
He was supposed to be the heir to the Siannis family, and just like Bruce Wayne, who knows what else he had.
Black Mask!
"That's none of your business, stay in Black Gate Prison well."
Batman replied coldly.
In fact, his eyes have changed.
Roman Siennis awakens the childhood memories of Bruce Wayne himself under bat uniform, who knew the guy who took off his mask.
The Siannis family is one of the wealthy families in Gotham, and Roman's father and his father are friends, so they should have become friends as well.
However, things always happen, and despite Bruce Wayne Jr.'s efforts to show kindness to Roman Siennis, who is his age, it has no effect.
The other party is extremely proud, thinks very highly of himself, and is not liked at all.
Compared to Bruce Wayne Jr.'s other good friend, Thomas Elliott is simply far worse.
And in Roman's heart, he actually doesn't want to be good friends with Bruce.
He's just eager to win over each other in every way, both in his studies and beyond.
That way, every time he came home, he didn't have to hear his parents whispering the name "Bruce Wayne" in his ear.
That's right, in Roman Siennis's terrible childhood, as someone else's child, Bruce Wayne used to be his lingering inner shadow.
And what contributed to the gradual deterioration of this bad was the "fine" tradition of the Siannis family-
Domestic violence!
The father's beating and scolding and the mother's indifference made Roman more and more silent, and the child seemed to be wearing a cold mask all the time.
And the turning point in his life happened on the day the Waynes were shot.
The news was like a bolt of lightning that swept through Roman's mind, and then inspired this poor child who had endured domestic violence all year round.
One night shortly after, Roman set fire to his own home, burned his parents to death, and then calmly inherited the family business and inheritance.
He took a very different path from his younger buddy, Bruce Wayne.
Use the family's fortune to gather a large number of criminals, and then establish your own gang in the port area of Naho Island.
Wearing that black skull mask, Roman likes to torture his enemies with brutal means.
As if this is the only way to vent the pain of your childhood!
"I'll come out, Batman! When the time comes, I will definitely peel off your mask with my own hands, and then pinch the bones of your whole body......"
Boom!
Batman unceremoniously raised his leg and bent his knees, slamming into Black Mask's head.
"I'm sorry, I really don't want to hear you nag here."
A shrill siren could be heard faintly in the distance, presumably the Gotham Police Station had finally arrived.
Batman's cape flicked and he turned and walked towards his car.
Before he got into the car, he turned his head to look at the imitators and said in a deep voice, "Don't let me see you come out again." ”
"We just wanted to help! Fight criminals like you do! ”
"I don't need help."
"And what right do you have to do that? What is the difference between us? ”
Batman, who was in the car, was silent for a moment before replying, "I don't wear hockey gear. ”
…………
The armored vehicle crashes through the rushing waterfall and returns to the Bat Cave beneath Wayne Manor.
Bruce takes off his bat helmet and takes off his sturdy armor.
It wasn't long before Alfred was riding the elevator down, habitually carrying medical equipment to bandage the stitches.
"Let me do it, Master Wayne, every time you stitch yourself, it will make a blur of flesh and blood."
The old butler looked at Bruce, who was shirtless and sitting on the edge of the workbench.
His back is littered with scars, large and small, some from training with the Assassin League, and some of them are brutal lessons learned from the mistakes made in the fight against criminals.
His gaze lingered for a moment, and Alfred sighed helplessly, he had already admonished Bruce countless times.
wants to make this only heir of the Wayne family give up this job that is destined to lead to nothing.
The criminals of Gotham are like weeds, if one clump is uprooted, sooner or later the next clump will grow, and maybe it will grow more luxuriantly than before.
"yes, it allows me to learn from my mistakes and learn from them."
Bruce laughed to himself.
Beneath Batman's armor was just mortal flesh and blood.
He will also be wounded and bleeding, and he will also feel tired and tired.
"Then you should be quite knowledgeable by now, Master Wayne."
Alfred, who had served in the military before, said as he expertly stitched up his wounds.
"As Leo guessed, there are more and more imitators of Batman, and violent means will bring more violence! They're causing trouble! ”
Bruce's tone is a bit heavy, playing Batman, it's a dangerous thing to do.
Those people don't know the cost or the consequences.
"Maybe you can hire them and give yourself a vacation."
Alfred suggested, seemingly seriously.
Bruce didn't reply, he remembered the Roman Siannis he saw tonight, aka Black Mask himself.
The other party said "the storm is coming", and the words seemed to contain other information.
"Gotham is so much better than it used to be, which proves that Batman does a great job."
Seeing Bruce fall silent, Alfred changed the subject to lightheartedness.
"Detective James Gordon, and the new young prosecutor, they've all made things better in the city."
"Harvey Dent? I'm not sure I can trust him, I'm watching. ”
Bruce frowned, Harvey Dent is Gotham's biggest man of the moment.
This young prosecutor has a vigorous way of doing things, and he treats the gang without mercy.
What's more, he identifies with what Batman does!
James Gordon has mentioned more than once that Harvey Dent wants to be on the team.
Although it is currently the official policy of the Gotham City Government to arrest Batman immediately upon sight.
But after James Gordon took over the Gotham Police Department's Crime Squad, bat lights were lit up on the roof every night.
Many people know this, and at the same time they have a tacit understanding to keep silent, pretending not to know anything.
"Master Wayne, are you interested in the young prosecutor in Gotham, or in his social circle?"
Alfred meant that Rachel Dawes, who is an assistant prosecutor, and Bruce Wayne's former childhood sweetheart's first girlfriend, works next to Harvey Dent.
Hearing the old butler's question, Bruce's eyes were a little dark, and then he quickly regained his firmness.
Leo reminded himself that the first thing to do to be a superhero and a masked vigilante is to keep it secret and hide his identity.
The second thing is to make a choice.
Between the warm and beautiful family life, the fight against criminals in the rain of bullets, the lingering and sweet couple life, and the lonely journey alone-
Make your choice!
It is difficult for one person to have two lives.
So Bruce made his choice.
He still plays the playboy who disappointed Rachel, keeping a polite distance from the other party.
"I have too much work to do."
When Alfred finished stitching, Bruce put on his clothes and whispered.
He seemed to answer the old butler, and as if he were speaking to himself.
"Leo reminded me that sooner or later the Shadow Warrior Alliance will revivenation, and there is a mercenary named Bane hiding in the shadows to observe."
Bruce turns on the monitoring system of the Batcave, and multiple clear screens show scenes of various urban areas of Gotham.
He tried to find the turbulent undercurrents hidden beneath the city, but found nothing.
Except for Talia, who is imprisoned in the Black Gate Prison, there is no longer any clue about the direction of the Shadow Warrior Alliance.
Although Batman "visits" once a week, the ninja master's daughter has not revealed the slightest useful information.
In this regard, Bruce is also helpless.
He can't be expected to be rough with a woman!
"By the way, remember to remind me that tonight I blew up an underground garage and a couple of cars. Let Lucius prepare to pay back the reparations, in any name, even if it is charitable aid. ”
Bruce said as if remembering something.
"I hope that one day the Wayne Group will not go bankrupt because of this."
Alfred shrugged helplessly, then jotted down the command.
"GORDON TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A MADMAN ON NAI HO ISLAND WHO LIKED TO PLAY DRAG SHOWS AND LEFT A 'JOKER' CARD AFTER EVERY CRIME."
Bruce didn't think about the Shadow Warriors anymore and turned his attention back to Gotham.
The city is always full of criminals, like weeds, burning endlessly!
"There is also a jewelry thief, who has committed many crimes, and the stolen goods are quickly dismantled, and the police can't find the slightest clue. The Gotham Police Department refers to her as 'Catwoman'. ”
Bruce crossed his hands on his chin and stared at the screens: "They're all Batman's targets." ”
