Chapter 635: Ghosts
Gotham. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Any city often has its glorious side and dark side, some areas are full of colors, only the neon of the city will illuminate the night as bright as day, the artificial light makes the city maintain permanent vitality, and the downtown area seems to be tireless; In other areas, it seemed as if it were forever shrouded in darkness, and the inhabitants were always hunched over and crawling in the shadows, lest the movement of their movements be discovered by some of the more terrible ones.
More of Gotham's neighborhoods tend to be the latter, and most of the neighborhoods are hotbeds of crime. But thanks to the efforts of some powerful and good people, the city also began to prosper in the city, and even after midnight it did not fall asleep.
Even if the Diamond District is such a location, that's why people who live here are used to getting high late. A boy who had been crazy all night with his classmates didn't walk in the direction of his home until after eleven o'clock, at which point it would have been impossible to go out on the streets in most of Gotham, but fortunately this was the Diamond District.
The boy did not feel tired at all, and the immature face of the seventeen or eighteen-year-old child was full of youthful vitality, his face was flushed with ruddy luster, and his eyes seemed to be reminiscing about the madness of the evening. He walked lightly, and with such vigor there was no doubt that he would not get sleepy all night.
Walking along the bustling streets, suddenly he felt like he heard a whistle.
A crisp whistle came from his left side, and as soon as he turned around, his whole body was stunned as if he had been electrocuted. The man in the alley next to him covered his face with a spherical red helmet, a cool jacket, and black leather boots, looking like the sunglasses hero in a movie with all kinds of firearms hidden all kinds of guns.
The boy felt that he should have confessed his mistake. That person should be codenamed Red Hood, a superhero who was once Batman's apprentice, but that's not the part that people care about. Red Hood became famous with his squad in the recent battle against the Apocalypse Nemesis outside the United Nations building, and the popularity of the Night Raiders' team of heroes soared to the point of the Justice League veterans.
The boy pointed to himself with some uncertainty, trying to confirm whether the other party was calling him, and after receiving the affirmation, he walked in with some excitement and some nervousness.
Seventeen or eighteen years old is precisely the stage when teenagers like fantasy the most, what will a superhero want to do when he finds himself? Could it be that he unknowingly did something bad that he really shouldn't have done? However, if you want to come to class, you can design a trap before the teacher enters the classroom, and use the blackboard to smash the teacher's head, and this kind of trivial thing should not be in their eyes. So could it be that Brother Hero thinks his bones are amazed and wants to pull him in?
Walking into the alley in a cranky way, the boy asked nervously as if he were facing an interviewer, "Are you...... Are you a red hood? ”
"Does such an obvious question really need to be asked?" Jason under the helmet laughed.
The boy thought about it, and he was right. No one but him seemed to have such a thing on their heads.
"Then it's time for me to ask, are you Bailey Toria?"
The boy nodded vigorously, as if he was afraid that if he didn't confirm it, the other party would say sorry for finding the wrong person in the next sentence.
Jason unhurriedly pulled out a photo: "Do you know this girl in the photo?" ”
Bailey leaned forward to take a look. In the background of the photo is a high school at sunset, the shade of the gilded school building is mottled, the girl has short black hair that reaches to her neck, and her dark eyes do not know where to go. She is quite beautiful, and should be the level of a middle school flower, but that beauty gives people the illusion of a lilac that can only be seen from a distance, and people instinctively keep a distance from her. Her face was expressionless, her skin as white as snow was covered with a layer of ice, and she seemed to be in a daze in the direction of the setting sun.
Bailey was taken aback, "Raven? ”
"So you do know her?"
"Rachel Rose, last year was our high school classmate." "But," he said, "...... We don't know each other very well. ”
"Your classmates don't say that, they say if there's anyone who knows her well enough, it's you."
Bailey smiled bitterly, "So...... That's true, but that's based on the assumption that someone is familiar enough with her. If you knew this girl well enough, you wouldn't say that. ”
"Tell me about it."
Bailey thought for a moment, as if organizing language.
"Let's just say that. Raven transferred to our school the year before, but she transferred last year, and I don't think anyone had more than ten words to her except me. He said, "Well, I want to strike up a conversation with her...... A lot of people want to, but I guess I'm the most successful one. Occasionally, when she is in a good mood, she may talk to me for some inexplicable words, but most of the time she also ignores you. You feel as if she's deliberately distancing herself from everyone around her, and she's afraid to connect with anyone......"
At this point, he suddenly stopped, and Jason suddenly gestured for him not to continue.
Something, slowly coming out of the dark alley. What vaguely seemed to be the outline of a human form, something darker than this unlit cul-de-sac, slowly crept out.
At this time, the two of them were shocked at the same time that the traffic outside had disappeared for some time. The street lights were still bright, the moon was still shining brightly in the sky, but suddenly the people in the streets were gone, and there were no cars left. All of a sudden, the world became quiet, as if you had strayed into the opposite side of the world. Here, there were only the hunters approaching in the darkness, and the two prey that had strayed in.
Bailey felt his legs go limp, and he subconsciously moved behind Jason, looking like he was the only one he could rely on.
Despite the same surprise, Jason has already experienced too many strange events. He calmly said "Hide behind me" and drew his twin guns.
The creature that could not be seen slowly emerged from the darkness in the deepest part of the alley. Without saying a word, Jason pulled the trigger, and the bullets whistled out with the loud sound of gunfire and bright gunfire.
Whatever those things were, they certainly didn't look human, so Jason wasn't polite at all, and used a blasting warhead that would only be used against alien creatures like demons. The muzzle flames dispelled the darkness deep in the alley, but it still did not illuminate the shadows of the creatures, as if those shadows had become so entrenched that they could hold on to the light.
The exploding warhead seemed to have some effect, and the bodies of the monsters that were hit in front of them were shaken back by the recoil and fell straight to the ground. But as if they had no pain or senses, they immediately got back to their feet and continued with their companions.
No, it's not even certain if these things are alive or not. The infusion of the exploding warhead should have exploded countless shrapnel in their bodies, and the internal organs of any creature will be damaged to a certain extent, but these guys can't see the slightest effect at all, whether they have internal organs or not is unknown,
Jason shot at them as he and Bailey retreated out of the alley. Only then did they realize that not only in the alleys, but also from the streets, small shops, cars, almost all directions.
"Oh." Jason cursed, "It's okay now." (To be continued.) )
