Chapter 174: Closure 1
"No need to bluff." The Bishop snorted, "I can see the change in you. You think you're stronger than you used to be, but I know you, and you're weak and easy to deal with, because you're missing the decisiveness you need to get things done! ”
Roy closed his eyes slightly: "Maybe you're right." ”
After a pause, he said, "I've been with Barbara for a long time, and I've really noticed some changes. Maybe I didn't realize it myself, but my subconscious seemed to always try to create a self without flaws in her impression. She always stressed to me that we should not play the role of arbiter and enforcer of the law, which is why I repeatedly spared the lives of some people who might not even be spared. ”
The bomb buried in the wall, is it still the time to explode? Pig? Pig? Island? The novel w.uu.c has about ten seconds.
"But today is different." Roy's tone changed and he said, "You use her as an entry point against me, and you try to hurt me by hurting her." So with you, I'm not going to do it her way. ”
"So you're going to kill me?" The bishop was pinned to the floor and asked unfazed.
"Nope. Barbara can get back on her feet now, and you have a lot of credit anyway, so I'm not going to kill you. Roy shook his head, walked over to the window, and shot a zipline out of the window.
"But it's not going to save your life."
With that, he leaped forward, and the rapidly contracting zipline dragged the black figure out like an arrow from a string.
The bishop was nailed to the floor, looking out the window at the figure flying away, but smiled: "Interesting...... But one day, you'll probably regret not killing me with your own hands. ”
The numbers on the electronic display stop at zero.
The roar shattered all the glass at the same moment, and the flames turned into a ferocious beast that roared out from inside the walls, cracking them and tearing the floor. From the broken windows, he stretched out his minions and showed his majesty, as if he was sneering at the figure that had escaped in time in the night.
Roy landed on the roof opposite, watching coldly as the flames engulfed everything. The familiar structure of the old-fashioned apartment was engulfed in fire in an instant, and it collapsed little by little.
Roy didn't go, standing on the roof opposite. Eyes staring at the building without blinking, staring for anyone to break through a piece of masonry and drill out.
No.
The flames burned, and the momentum grew louder, and the figure he was waiting for still did not appear.
But his instincts told him that the man wouldn't die so easily, although logically he probably didn't have much chance of surviving.
However, Roy has not yet grasped the limit of the bishop's self-healing ability taken from the death knell. Throwing a burning house on him wasn't enough to get him?
He never left, just staring at the old house burning. That was until the fire brigade arrived and extinguished the fire. After the rubble and bricks were removed, the police announced to the media who arrived at the scene that it was an empty house and that not a single victim, at least no body or injured person had been found.
The bishop is gone.
Roy hasn't come back after a long walk, and both Barbara and Bruce realize that something is wrong. But no matter how much he tried to get in touch, Roy didn't respond.
Until now.
In the Batcave, Barbara's cell phone suddenly rings. She picked it up and looked at it, and was surprised to find that the caller ID on the screen was Roy's number.
"Hello? Where are you? Barbara asked anxiously. Bruce and I are worried about you, what are you going to do? ”
"Nothing." Roy's voice looked tired. Like an athlete who has just finished a marathon, "I just solved the bishop's problem, but I was left with some injuries that I might need you to come back and help...... That's probably it. Anyway, come back soon. ”
"What?"
Without leaving Barbara a chance to ask another question, he hung up.
When Barbara returned to the apartment. She saw Roy lying on the sofa with a tired face, and although simple measures had been taken to stop the bleeding in his arms, waist and abdomen, he still couldn't completely stop the blood from gushing out.
"How...... What's going on? Barbara was shocked.
"No fuss." Roy said tiredly, "Just a little knife wound, a gunshot wound." ”
Barbara hurriedly took out the medical kit.
"The gunshot wound wasn't too serious." Barbara said after taking off his shirt and inspecting it. "But both cuts are a little deep, and you're bleeding a little too much."
"yes, I can feel it." Roy quipped, "Why else would there be stars in front of you?" ”
Barbara stitched him and asked, "What happened?" ”
"No big deal." Roy stared at Barbara's beautiful jade fingers, skillfully pinching the needle and thread to stitch his toned muscles, and said, "My old friend invited me to the banquet alone, and I went. We had a fight, and it ended the whole drama, and in the end he tried to up with a bomb along with the old building, and he ended up being the one who was blown up with the old building. ”
"Is he dead, then?" Barbara asked.
Roy shook his head: "No, it's a pity." The police have not been able to find his body from the rubble, which only means that he has slipped away. He had gained extraordinary self-healing abilities and vitality with the help of the Deathknell's Enhanced Serum, and perhaps he had slipped through some negligent corner, after all, I was not in a very good state due to blood loss and detachment. ”
"And now that he's gone," Barbara asked, "how do you know it's over?" Why are you sure he hasn't prepared some hellish plan to deal with you? ”
"There's no need, (wwuuknshu) because he's already won." Roy said, "There is no doubt that he won the scouting and counter-recon battles, and I have admitted that he will not replay the game he has already won." When we finally had a fight, he told me that he was tired of the power of crime. If that's what I know about him, he'll be going on to pursue some new challenge, something more interesting than ruling a gang of criminals in this world. ”
Barbara had the last stitches, and Roy took the top over and continued, "He's going to look for ways to get stronger, he's going to learn more tricks." And eventually, when he feels like he's ready for the second round, he'll come back and wash away the shame of being killed by me in the final level of tonight's game. ”
"You know he's going to be back." "You know he's coming for you, but you're not nervous or scared at all?" ”
"By that time, I'll be ready." "By then, I'll be ready for anything." ”
"And by then, you won't be alone." Barbara shook Roy's hand and smiled a sweet, gentle, reassuring smile like the rising sun, "Now, you're not the only one who has a grudge against him. (To be continued.) )
