Chapter 168: Accidental Rescue
Knell is definitely not an opponent that can be dealt with casually, and even in his heyday, Batman needs to be very serious to have a chance of winning.
And today, it is clearly not a day when he is in good shape.
Batman's back slammed into the solid metal wall, and the iron sheet on the wall was torn over by a huge external impact. Knell held the long sword as cold as ice in his hand, and approached Batman step by step, like a grim reaper holding a scythe.
"As I said, it's no honor to take your life like this." Deathbell raised his sword and said, "But your death does make a lot of things easier." So sleep in peace, Dark Knight. ”
I don't even have the strength to lift my arms. Not only was he injured by the death knell blow, but the toxins in Batman's body were also rapidly spreading, dissipating and emptying his power.
You can learn to endure pain and endure it, but it doesn't go away just because you're not afraid of it. They will still be there, slowing down your every movement.
At this moment, even Batman himself had the thought of "dying here today" in his heart.
But that didn't happen.
The lights went out without warning, and the darkness regained its territory and took over the home field. Immediately after, a flashbang exploded in the air, as if a sun had been released in the darkness, and suddenly burned everyone's eyeballs with tingling, and their vision was temporarily paralyzed.
Although Batman has lost his strength, the mask still has an automatic anti-flash function, so he can still see what is happening.
The person who appeared here was completely unexpected.
The two balls rolled to Deathknell's feet and burst open with a "boom", the flames blowing Deathknell backwards with a violent impact, and briefly illuminating the darkness.
In the firelight, a figure wearing a black leather jacket and a red helmet jumped down, and the reflection of the firelight on the red helmet looked extremely dazzling.
It was the red hood, and it turned out to be the red hood that came to save Batman at this critical moment.
Red Hood lifts Batman up and props him up on his shoulders. While helping him forward, he said, "Hold on, old fellow, have you exercised well?" Why does it seem heavier than before? ”
He helped Batman out of the dark room and onto the subway line. It looks like a father whose son is holding on to his old age.
Then, turning around, he threw a grenade at the secret door exit, blowing the entire wall down and burying the exit. So that it won't be for a while
"It's funny." Red Hood said. "I used to help you back like this before? It looks like things have changed a lot compared to that time. ”
Batman didn't know if he was still conscious, but he still stubbornly moved forward, entrusting his weight to this person who didn't know if he realized who it was.
"Hey, old fellow, are you still awake?" "Don't fall asleep, I don't want you to hang up now...... But don't expect too much, maybe I'll change my mind later. ”
Then he lowered his voice: "Don't think I forgive you, I will never forgive you, do you hear?" ”
Batman's eyes seemed to be half-open and half-closed. Gritting his teeth, I don't know if I heard it.
The road along the subway tracks seems to have no end, and I don't know how long I have walked before I reach the exit.
"I remember the time you brought me down here." Red Hood continued to recall, "We're after the killer crocodile, remember? Well, that's just one of the many adventures in your great Batman career, and there's nothing worth remembering about it. But you know what? I remember, I remember it clearly. You carried a claw for me, and that claw was so fierce. It was the first time, how could I forget......"
Why does he keep talking? Because if a person who is unconscious falls asleep at any time, he is likely to never wake up again? There may be such a part of the factors in it. But deep down he knew that it wasn't just that.
There are some words, whether the other party can hear them or not, he just wants to say them to Batman. That's all.
The exit to the ground is under the ladder of Ann Metal, and of course it is impossible to climb it in Batman's current state. Red Hood wrapped the rope around his waist and climbed up with the rope himself, then pulled him to the ground.
With great difficulty, he pulled his body of more than two hundred pounds up from underneath and put it on his shoulders to continue walking.
"You'd better remember where your car was parked." He said, "I know you're always going to park your car nearby...... All right. I don't expect you to tell me about your state. ”
He held Batman in one hand and pressed the remote button from Batman's belt with the other. After a slight beep, the engine sounded shortly after, and the pitch-black Batchariot roared like a majestic mount, and honestly stopped in front of the two of them, opening the door to greet the master.
Red Hood struggled to seat Batman and fasten his seatbelt. Then he said to the Batmobile's computer, "Start the autopilot system." ”
"The autopilot system is activated."
Red Hood smiled lightly, and there was a slight bitterness in his laughter: "Sure enough." ”
The average person may not know that only a few people in the world have access to the Batmobile's voiceprint system. And Jason? Todd is one of them.
Even after Jason died, Batman never cleared his access from the Batmobile's database, wwwcom) This may be one of the ways he honors his son as a father.
"Autopilot, destination ......" Red Hooded Head shrank out of the Batmobile and stared meaningfully at Batman for a moment before saying, "...... Bat Cave. ”
The sliding doors slowly closed, and the commanded Batmobile erupted from the back of the rover, pushing the pitch-black sports car like an arrow from a string.
The red-hooded jacket fluttered in the wind whipped up by the speeding car. He looked intently in the direction of the Batmobile for a moment before turning to leave.
That man was Batman, and he would be fine.
He told himself.
When consciousness finally returned, Bruce realized that he was lying in a bat cave.
"Master Bruce! You're awake! ”
The first thing that catches my eye is Alfred and Barbara, who are full of worry.
His head was groggy, but it still only took him a few seconds to remember what had happened before he was unconscious.
He sat up abruptly and asked sharply, "Who?" Who brought me back? ”
"Master, you are seriously injured now, and you still have hallucinogens left in your body, and you need to rest......"
"Alfred! Tell me, who is it? Bruce asked in a non-debatable tone.
Alfred and Barbara looked at each other.
"You were brought back by the Batmobile's autopilot." Barbara paused, then said, "Voice control the Batmobile returning man...... Is it Jason? Todd. ”
In an instant, Bruce felt like he had been stabbed in the chest with a sharp weapon. To be continued.
