23. Klein and the Shadow Warrior Alliance

Kevin's voice became sharp with nervousness, but Cyber ignored his pleas for mercy and instead crouched in front of him, zeroing out the numbers that were jumping on the interface.

The two men were facing each other, one wearing a funny monkey mask, the other was tied to a railing, and a shiny mobile phone was placed in the center, which was strange to see, but neither Cyber nor Kevin cared about this weird scene.

After nearly 10 seconds of silence, Cyber spoke.

"Nobody likes to be deceived, and neither do you, right?"

"I didn't mean to, it's just that organization, I said I'm going to die, and Ed is going to die... Please..."

Kevin's tears were streaming from the corners of his eyes, it was panic and despair, the emotions of the person in front of him had reached a point, Cyber could clearly feel this through the mask, he was about to collapse.

He coldly put his hand on Kevin's shoulder and whispered in his ear,

"Does it matter to me that you die, or not?"

The voice made Kevin's blood all over his body cold, he couldn't say a word, he wanted to refute, he wanted to insult, but Cyber's next sentence made him shut up.

"You see, we didn't have anything to do with each other, you and your brother can do whatever you like, but you came to disturb my life and almost killed me, lo and behold... After this, you actually told me that you were afraid of the organization behind you because they were going to kill you, and you thought I would mercifully let you go, but Kevin, have you ever thought about a question. ”

Cyber's voice became hoarse, like a cold wind sweeping through his heart in the darkness, and he said word by word, "Is it because of your fear that I should die? Who are you!"

After saying this, Cyber withdrew the palm on Kevin's shoulder, gently clasped it together and patted it, Kevin's eyes were glazed, his mouth moved, but he couldn't say a word, his body trembled, this sturdy man felt that he had been cornered.

Whether it is from force, from wisdom, from cruelty, or even morally, he has flowed into a comprehensive inferiority, he even feels that what Cyber said is very reasonable, his brain is a mess, looking at such an attacker, the corners of Cyber's mouth curled, under the threat that his companion may die at any time, under the despair that he may also suffer waterboarding, in the confusion of thoughts, Kevin is like a person who has fallen into the quagmire of despair, he is on the verge of collapse.

All it takes is a glimmer of hope for him to hold on to it, even if it's a venomous snake.

In this case, what he said already has 80% credibility, and that's what Cyber needs.

"I'll give you one more chance... Look at the time, 1 minute and 15 seconds, you still have 45 seconds to say something I'm interested in, your brother's life is in your hands, Kevin... There are only 40 seconds left!"

This voice reached Kevin's ears, and he looked up sharply,

"Well, there's 35 seconds left!"

"Ahem... We, we're from Narrow Island, it's Arkham Asylum, and Dr. Klein told us to retrieve from you the two bags of raw materials that Fat Joff had secretly hidden! We didn't want to hurt anyone, we took the ingredients and left!"

Kevin said a lot quickly, and Cyber looked at him, and the rope in his hand lifted up slightly by 2 meters, lifting the dying Ed out of the water.

"25 seconds! What are the ingredients?"

"The ingredient is something Dr. Klein needs, Falconi has been mixed in drugs from the East, he's making a poison that makes people feel fear, it's a vicious guy, I can swear, he made it all for us!"

"Fear..."

Cyber pursed his lips, Kevin had surprised him by saying this, but he couldn't show a satisfied gesture, it was like squeezing oil, squeezing him dry little by little, he snorted,

"Is that all? these things can't buy his life!"

With that, his hand slid down, and Kevin screamed again,

"And... Also, Klein built Arkham Asylum to make it easier for him to experiment with prisoners! He's pouring poison into the sewers of the city, which will soon be overshadowed by fear, wait..."

At this point, Kevin jerked his mouth shut as he realized that he was under pressure and said something he shouldn't have said.

"Wait for what?"

Cyber's hand stopped in mid-air, he looked at Kevin, this man's will was obviously on the verge of collapse, but when he said the most important news, when he was about to say the name, he hesitated, which fully proved that the organization behind him left him with a much greater impression and fear than Cyber gave him now.

Kevin was at the end of his rope when he was asked, he shook his head, he didn't want to say more.

"I'm curious, does it make sense for you to keep a secret? You and your brother die here, and no one will avenge you, my dear Kevin, look, do you really think Ed's life is in my hands?"

Cyber shook the rope in his hand, "No! it's in your hands, Kevin, your secret, or your brother, which is more important?"

"I can't say any more, they're everywhere... Ed and I are no better than the lowest dust in their eyes, and if I just talk about it, we'll still die eventually, you don't understand!"

Kevin felt like he had lost all his support, but then, the sound of a heavy object falling into the water woke him up, and Cyber clapped his hands indifferently, and he turned away,

"Very well, you think a damn secret is more important than Ed, then as you wish, goodbye!"

He took two steps and flicked his finger at Kevin,

"By the way, you can tell yourself that I killed Ed and not you, and then you can expect the big man behind you to come to me for revenge, I'm waiting for you, don't waste the last 1 minute, say goodbye to your brother. I can guarantee that he will never survive for 1 minute!"

Cyber turned and walked out, one step, two steps, three steps.

"Enough! Pull him up, and I'll tell you all! You devil, you madman!"

"You see, you can still make the right choice, can't you?"

Cyber strode over to the railing and quickly pulled Ed, who had only one breath left, out of the sea, and he didn't need to intimidate Kevin in this way anymore, firstly, because Kevin's mental defense was completely defeated, and secondly, Ed was really dying, although he showed no mercy to the enemy, he did not like to torture and kill.

He's not insane.

"Say, I'll listen. ”

Cyber sat across from Kevin, lifted the mask upwards, revealing a small half of his face, but with his head down, Kevin still couldn't see his face clearly, Cyber lit a cigarette, and in the smoke, Kevin also said what he knew indifferently.

"Me and Ed, we both grew up in Gotham, we used to be Gotham dock workers, my father used to work for them, so after my father died, I also became a peripheral member of that organization, the outermost kind, Klein, who arrived in Gotham 2 years ago and opened the Arkham Asylum, is a real member of them, but it's not a particularly high-status kind, we're just pawns, they're coming, and the city is going to be destroyed..."

"Who are they?"

Cyber looked at Kevin with a desperate look on his face and asked, "Why are you so afraid of them?"

"They? they have many names, the Shadow Legion, the Shadow Warriors, the Shadow Warrior Alliance, the myths and legends about them are true, they destroyed Rome, burned London to the ground, and sent the rats with the Black Death to the world by ship... They claim to be the maintainers of the world order, striving to rid mankind of all the corruption in human history. ”

Kevin trembled and said the name that made him shiver all over,

"Why am I afraid of them? It's simple! They're a bunch of crazy people, and Klein tells us that every time human civilization gets into the stench of corruption, they stand up and destroy it, and give the world a new lease of life in the destruction, and this time, they're eyeing Gotham. ”

This remark made Cyber forget to put the cigarette in his hand, and after a few seconds, he clutched his stomach and let out a low laugh,

"You... Are you kidding? Is there really an organization in this world that exists with such great ideals? Aren't you really a joke made up casually to try to survive?"

As he said these words, Cyber's eyes were firmly fixed on Kevin's face, even though there was a laugh coming out of his mouth, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes, Kevin looked at him with a serious expression to the extreme.

"Yes, yes! You may not know that the economic storm that swept through Gotham more than ten years ago, that almost ruined the terrible years of Gotham, you have never seen that scene, I have seen it! I was a child at the time, if my father hadn't rushed back, I would have died in the hands of homeless people because of the bread in my hand! I have seen how crazy they are!"

"All the poor people were stirred up, and Ed and I were hiding in the suburbs, and we felt that a devastated upheaval could break out in the city at any moment, you know?

"They almost succeeded, but the unexpected death of the Bruces saved the city, the rich people were scared, and they joined forces to save the collapsed economy, but even then, that time set the whole city back at least 20 years, and it was at that time that Gotham Harbor went into decline, and thousands of people were left homeless! ”

"The city's biggest cancer, Falconi... Compared to that organization, he is like a powerless child, he can't even deal with Klein, and the Shadow Warrior Alliance is 10,000 times more difficult to deal with than Klein! They are shadows shuttling through the night, can you imagine? In the past 20 years, I have met their liaison 4 times, but each conversation will not last more than 10 seconds, except for us, in this city, they have other tentacles!"

Kevin's voice became muffled, and he looked nervously from side to side,

"Maybe it's right next to you, maybe it's an old man, maybe it's a child, you can't imagine how complicated their members are. ”

All the smiles on Cyber's face were gone, and it didn't seem like Kevin was lying, that is, because of that dead fat Joff, he got into trouble with a gang of armed madmen whose mission was to save human civilization, and Cyber knew that trouble was coming.

He had dealt with such madmen many times, and the more ambitious their ideals were, the greater their ambitions, and the most terrifying thing was that, from Kevin's description, they were capable of fulfilling their ambitions.

As soon as they struck out, it was a city inhabited by millions of people, and to completely destroy it, this alone would make them ten thousand times more troublesome than they imagined!

After seeing Cyber's silence, a strange smile appeared on Kevin's face,

"Haha, you're scared too, aren't you?"

"I forgot to tell you, Thompson you killed... He's Klein's assistant, he knows a lot of things about Klein, Klein won't just let him disappear, you're also targeted, you bastard! You forced me, we didn't have anything to do, it's all you!"

Cyber came back to his senses, and he sneered,

"So what? Don't forget, you revealed the secret, and with that kind of tissue, you won't survive! We're grasshoppers tied to a rope! And Kevin, I don't like your tone so much, so I decided... Punish you!"

Two minutes later, Kevin was hanging from the railing with a frightened face, his mouth was taped shut, Cyber slapped him in the face with the short black knife, his hands were tied behind his back, Cyber shoved the knife into Kevin's hand, he said in Kevin's ear,

"Do you remember what I said before? Ordinary people fall into the water like this, and they will suffocate after 3-4 minutes at most, but I give you a glimmer of hope, don't I? The knife is in your hand, and whether you can survive or not depends on your luck. ”

Cyber gently reached out to untie the rope that was tied to the railing, then reached out and pushed.

"Come on, friend, you must survive!"
