Chapter 699: Gotham's Fighters
A month later.
Gotham City.
At dusk.
The sunset in this city is probably its most beautiful moment.
The light of the day is about to recede. Those scantily clad creatures are about to take off their masks and return to darkness.
As the twilight is coming to an end, countless evils, darkness and chaos will also rise.
After being purified by the Shadow Knights, the evil of the city has been suppressed for a long time. But recently, there has been momentum of recovery.
The intrusion and rise of various cells and forces has caused headaches for the city's security administrators.
Two police cars, rolling up to the sound of noisy sirens, sped through the streets.
The striking red and blue police lights draw two afterimages of different colors in the dim bustling street.
The police car ended up parked in front of a building.
At the top of the building is a line of slightly old English stands. And in this line of English, the four initials of GCPD are particularly eye-catching.
Gotham Police Department building.
Blake, a young police officer, walked briskly upstairs to the office door of Police Chief Gordon.
He slowed down before knocking on Director Gordon's office door.
"Director. It's me, Blake. β
"Please come in." Gordon lifted his glasses and looked up, "What's wrong?" Blake. β
"Director... The Red Hood reappeared. Blake said anxiously, "In the western junkyard area!" And he's already killed quite a few members of the Maroney gang..."
Gordon chuckled in his heart... It's not dark yet, and the red hood is here again?!
This will not work without batlights.
In the few days since Red Hood appeared, even Batman failed to catch him. Red Hood is always able to evade the pursuit of people from all sides, forcibly killing his target, and then fleeing with his whole body.
This is a mysterious killer, a guy with a blood feud with Gotham.
"Keep my people at arm's length from them." Gordon commanded, "I'm going to inform the Dark Knights of this city. β
Gordon whispered, "Bruce Wayne, this time, you're going to have to get this red mask." β
.............
A moment later.
Gotham's West Mandalorian Park neighborhood.
Maroney's men, starting at the entrance of the park, rolled out all the way... Every less than 3 meters, a gunman was lying on the bloody road.
The remnants of the eight and Red Hoods have a chaotic battle in Mandalorian Park!
Soon, the remnants were completely knocked out by the Red Hood. Among them, only one gang leader was only shot in the leg for the time being, and he has not yet lost his breath.
Red Hood lifted his head and asked in a loud voice, "Where's the clown?!" Tell me!! β
"I don't know..."
"You've dealt with the Jokers before, and you know the Jokers! Surely you know his news! β
"I really don't know," the gang leader's voice trembled, "the clown has... It's been gone for a long time..."
The Red Hood tugged at his hair and slammed into the grass.
Tong!
If the grass under your head is replaced with concrete... There's a good chance this thing is dead.
"If you don't say it, you'll be..."
A dark shadow stabbed from the cornerβ
Red Hood stood in place, raised his hand directly, and took the dart with one hand!
Bat-like darts.
"That's enough, Jason!" Batman's voice came from the trees.
He fell to the ground, revealing his form.
Red Hood turned his head and said word by word:
"I'm not Jason."
Although Red Hood has flatly denied it, Batman has already investigated it......
The guy in front of him with a red hood is none other than Jason Todd.
For unknown reasons, he came back from the dead, eager to return here for revenge.
By the time he returned to Gotham, Red Hood had gone on a killing spree, and his hands were covered in blood.
"Jason, even I don't know where the Joker is right now. And... I saw with my own eyes that he was engulfed in the explosion. β
"The Jason you know is dead," Red Hood turned, "I was completely dead by the time you lost to the Joker." β
He roared, "Now, I'm Red Hood, the one who executes Gotham's justice for you!" β
"It seems that there is a big difference between my understanding of justice and yours." The old man stood up and said, "It should be said that this is also my problem, and I have no way to teach. β
"You are not worthy to be my mentor, you are not worthy to be the hope of this city! You actually put the clown in prison with your own hands instead of killing him! Jason roared hoarsely.
"No... I want to kill him...", the old man sighed helplessly.
"But you didn't do it!" Jason pulled out his pistol and pointed it at the old man, "You stick to your pedantic principles!" β
Bang.
"Me."
Bang.
"Very."
Bang!
"Disappointment!"
Jason pulls the trigger with every word he spits out...
Bullets hit the batsuit!
Jason keeps shooting... Until the bullets run out.
Click... Click... Click... Click... Click...
Knowing that the bullets were running out, he was still frantically pulling the trigger.
"Are you satisfied?" The old man walked towards Jason.
"I hate you!!" Jason removes two short knives from his waist...
He roared angrily and pounced on the master!!
He raised his left hand and slashed the old man's neck with a knife!
Batman dodged sideways easily, and at the same time turned around and punched Jason in the ribs!
Tong!
With this sharp and ferocious punch, Jason Todd was so bombarded that he could barely stand firm!
Jason turned around and continued to perform the Crazy Attack...
Two short knives were made by him whirring!
While dodging, Batman kept saying, "Jason... Stop it! Listen to me..."
After efforts failed, Jason Todd finally stopped attacking...
"I hate you," he continued, repeating...
The old man stood in front of Jason and said softly, "Listen to me, Jason... If I..."
"If Batman kills someone, he will fall into the abyss from which he will never recover."
A magnetic young voice rang out.
Luo Yang emerged from a cloud of black mist.
He wears a black robe on the inside and a dark gray-blue cloak on the outside.
The silver Scepter of the End, and the Blade of Purification, are pinned to his waist.
"Am I right? Mr. Wayne? Royan walked over to Batman and Red Hood.
Jason looked at Luo Yang and was slightly surprised: "Purifier? β
With a wave of his hand, Royan removed Jason's red hood.
Jason's face was no longer green, and it was covered with horrible scars...
The mark that the Joker once left on Jason.
"Poor Jason Todd. You can't turn yourself into a pure butcher. Royan sighed, "Doctor Fate and Constantine resurrected you, but they didn't want you to fall victim to the Batman-Joker dispute." β
Jason looked at Royan in amazement... At the same time, the knife in his hand was also removed by Luo Yang's spiritual energy.
Jason half-knelt on the ground and screamed in pain, "But... I can't understand him! β
Royan walked past him, "You'll understand, Jason." β
Coming to Batman's side, Royan threw his cape back and said to Batman, "Meet again." Friends. β
Batman said in his deep voice, "Roy. Snow. β
"It's been a long time since I've heard that name."
"Purifier. I've heard that you've been stirring up quite a bit of a storm in the universe lately. Batman said calmly.
"That's right. Met a few of the Apocalypse guys. β
"Darkseid? Steppenwolf? Batman asked curiously.
"Steppenwolf is dead." Royan said softly, "Darkseid, for his part, promised me that he would never let his men touch the earth again. β
Batman opened his mouth slightly: "This..."
He could hardly believe it.
Royan waved his hand to open a space-time gate, and Darkseid's palace appeared at the end of the space-time gate.
"Why don't you ask him to repeat the same words again?"
Batman waved his hand: "No need..."
Luo Yang smiled lightly and put away the space-time gate.
In fact, during this time, he has met with several big bosses in the DC universe, and he has fought with them to a greater or lesser extent.
Senisto, Darkseid, Anti-Watchman.
He had been to the Apocalypse, to Koruga under the rule of Senisto. is also in the crossing, and the anti-surveillance people face each other head-on.
Even Dormammu, the Lord of the Dark Space, was destroyed by the Purifiers, and these bosses did not dare to make a mistake in front of Royan even if they were in the Black World. Stupid guys, like Steppenwolf, ended up being wiped out with a snap of their fingers.
In addition to going back and forth to the boss's lair, Luo Yang also went to heaven at the invitation of an angel a few days ago.
Above the red world and the black world, the angels govern the heavens.
There, I finally met the archangels Michael and Gabriel.
Their appearance, of course, can't be compared with handsome angels like Impreus and Tyrell, but they are just human beings with wings.
During his trip to Heaven, Michael was just as kind as Tyrell, and repeatedly praised Royan's previous clean-up of Hell.
... After bringing Jason Todd to safety, Royan followed in Batman's footsteps and made his way to a new rooftop.
The two of them overlooked the Gotham night scene below and chatted.
"Now Gotham, is there a guy named Rorschach?"
Bruce Wayne sighed, "That's right. He was a troublesome figure before. β
"Tell me his story."
Bruce reminisced for a moment, then said, "About half a month ago, this self-proclaimed Rorschach suddenly appeared at night in Gotham. Moreover, he tried and killed the perpetrators he saw for no reason. He even seriously injured a policeman who was shielding criminals. β
"You fought him?"
"You know, I'm not the same kind of person as Rorschach." Batman let out a long breath.
Faced with the sins of Gotham, Rorschach chose all kinds of 'intransigence'.
In just three days, he killed two members of the Gotham fanleague and hit all the characters he couldn't get used to.
Whether it is a policeman, a criminal, a superhero, an official, a rich man, or a mortal, it may be his target.
At the same time, he does not approve of Batman's style.
So the two also launched a shocking duel.
Such as Ye Gucheng vs. the battle on the snow-like roof of the West Gate.
In the end, it ended with Rorschach falling from the building and Batman saving him.
"Take me to meet Rorschach, where is he now?"
"He's in Arkham."
.....
Half an hour later.
Zone 3 floors.
Bruce Wayne, wearing a battle armor, led Royan to the most special area here.
Rorschach, the Warden who traveled back in time to Gotham, was imprisoned here by Batman.
Click. Click.
Batman and the Purifier come to stand in front of Rorschach's cell.
Rorschach, the Watchman, sat just behind bulletproof glass.
In his hand, he still has a copy in his hand, and he is looking at it carelessly.
Two tall figures appeared outside the cell, and Rorschach just snorted.
He said solemnly: "Is there something wrong with me?" Justice in Gotham. β
"Someone came to bail you out."
"Can this Arkham asylum still be released on bail??" Rorschach asked in surprise, "No one can successfully get out of here unless they have a psychiatrist's certificate." Moreover, I was also characterized as a serious mental illness. β
"When I say bail, I'm in quotation marks." Batman said coldly.
Royan casually let the glass of the cell dissipate into obscurity, and pulled Rorschach's hat, mask, and coat from his cloak and threw them to him.
"Where's my diary?"
"Here it is. Rorschach. In his left hand, Royan was holding what Rorschach the Fighter considered a treasure, "The diary you kept in Gotham is very interesting. β
"That's because, I've never seen a city so ridiculous." The Warden took the diary from Royan, "A dark knight in a bat mask and a black cloak, high above. Countless criminals are trying to harvest what they want from this depraved city..."
"This city, we'll talk next time." Luo Yang smiled, "Please hurry up and put on your clothes and come with me." β
"Someone will take me away." As she spoke, Rorschach had already put on her mask.
His mask is his most interesting feature.
An ink mask that floats gradually.
And these inkblots are the patterns of the famous psychological test - the Rorschach inkblot test.
After having the idea of decorating his face mask with ink, he abandoned his real name, Walter?? Covax, renamed Rorschach.
The Rorschach Inkblot Test, also known as the Inkblot Test, is a well-known (projective) personality test. It gives the subject the freedom to see and say what comes to mind by presenting the participant with a standard stimulus plate formed by the chance of ink stains, and then analyzes the recordings and reactions to diagnose the subject's personality traits.
"Where to go?" Rorschach slipped the journal into his pocket and stepped out of the cell. "Also, young man, I seem to have seen you."
"Royan." He stretched out his right hand and gently shook it with Rorschach's gloved left hand of the watcher.
"Mr. Luo, can I know why I was released on bail?" Rorschach asked curiously.
Luo Yang was about to speak, when the four Arkham prison guards saw the movement and rushed over.
Royan gave Bruce a look... Bruce Wayne understood what he meant, and he walked over to a few security guards and told them to stop where they were.
"You've been sent here as a joke by God." "It seems that you are not suitable to stay in the city either. β
"But if," Rorschach spuffed, "if I were to get out of prison, I would continue to do what I thought was right." β
"Then I'm afraid I'll have to send you somewhere else." Luo Yang shrugged his shoulders, "In Gotham's fight against crime, you can't avoid the Dark Knight. β
"Nope. My diary is not finished either..."
Despite Rorschach's objections, Royan still opens the portal and takes Rorschach the Warden to a new place, Dr. Fate's lair.
Rorschach's fate is still to let the supreme mage of this world arrange it again.
