Chapter 138: Family Gathering
Kirk? Dr. Longstrom was surprisingly a very talkative person, and upon learning that his wife had been detoxified, he immediately agreed to help create a serum that would reverse the mutation of the "Emperor Penguin".
As the founder of the Batman Serum, Kirk has long been familiar with the process and method of making the antidote. In just two hours, he created a small tube of reversal serum from the emperor penguin blood sample that Roy had given him. Although Emperor Penguin seems to have added some kind of novel ingredient to the Batman's serum to change its effectiveness, it only took Kirk a little more effort before he was able to get the serum done.
After finishing his work, Roy let the doctor go. Dr. Kirk is actually quite a good man, he has always controlled his dependence on the serum very well, and this time if it wasn't for the fact that his wife, Roy, would not have taken the serum again. Such people deserve a chance to start over in life, not in prison or in an insane asylum.
Roy pushed the small tube into the syringe and tucked it into the universal belt. Although it was already three o'clock in the morning, Roy and Barbara, who were used to working all night, were still full of energy. Just when the two were ready to go, there was a small change.
Something on Barbara's belt made a special chime, like the personality of some kind of alarm clock. Barbara pulled out a phone-like display from her belt, only to see a dark gold bat mark flashing on the screen, which vibrated and rang loudly.
Roy now knows this, the summoning order of the Bat family. A summons order is issued when something big happens, or when Batman needs as many people as possible to help. If this signal sounds, then there is a good chance that something big has happened.
Barbara hesitated, of course she really wanted to follow Roy to settle accounts with Okeville again, but the family summoning order couldn't just ignore it. What if something very important?
"Go ahead." Roy saw her hesitation and said, "It's just Okeville, I can handle it." ”
"But you just got him today," Barbara looked at him distressedly, her golden-gloved fingers caressing Roy's cheek, "he's very strong now, and your injuries haven't fully recovered." And we just had that fierce battle with the Batman."
As she said this, Roy smiled and pressed a finger to her soft lips and whispered, "Don't worry." The last time he caught me off guard, but that couldn't have happened a second time. As for the injury, I just need some more painkillers. ”
Barbara looked at him worriedly, nodded and said nothing. She knew, of course, Roy knew the negative effects of painkillers, but she also knew that it was almost impossible to persuade Roy to change his mind.
What's more, she felt in her heart that this man could do it.
"Got it, then be careful." She said.
Okeville spent the night at the Iceberg Casino left behind by Copote. Recently, he has indeed become a bit arrogant, and the security force of the Iceberg Casino has increased to four or five times the usual number. In addition, the hemispherical structure on the zenith has also been changed to a new material, and the new material has been designed as an explosion-proof military material to prevent the disguised vigilantes from parachuting down by blowing up the roof.
The Iceberg Casino is certainly heavily defended, but there is never a place where there is truly no hole. All it takes is to find the right way.
The Iceberg Casino is built on the water, the pedestal is buried underwater, and the water body is connected to the internal water tank, which determines that its drainage pipe must be open.
Wearing a breathing mask, the winged knight swam through the waterway towards the entrance to the drain. Like a nimble and agile black water snake, he swam into the reservoir against the current, poked his head out of the water to look around, took off his breathing mask and withdrew it into his belt.
The two thugs guarding the elevator door on the second floor were holding guns in their hands and chatting without saying a word.
"Did you see Okeville today?" One asked.
"You mean he's getting blue and big?" Another said, "I see." I've heard that he bought some kind of powerful serum from a gang of assassins, supposedly able to modify his genes or something, and then turned him into that. ”
"Cool, it's good to be the boss. I've heard that he can now knock over a cow with his arm strength! ”
"Is it so powerful?"
"yes, haven't you heard? He won a vigilante today, and the one who has been quite powerful lately is called Winged Knight. ”
"Oh, I've heard that, and I've heard something you probably didn't know. One of my buddies told me today, and he also heard another buddy mention that the boss had recently arranged for someone to deliver food to someone hiding in the forbidden room on the basement floor, the one that requires a password to enter. ”
"Wait, you said he had a guy locked up underneath?"
"It seems like that's what happened."
The two chatted at this point, and the ceiling above their heads suddenly cracked. Neither of them had a chance to react, and the Winged Knight jumped down, pressing the back of one person's head with one hand and slamming them into the floor as they fell.
Roy stood up, looked at the two who had fallen, and said coldly, "Thank you for your information." ”
Bat Cave.
Red Robin, Nightwing, and Batgirl have all gathered here, but the main owner has not yet appeared.
"Bat Girl?" When Red Robin saw Batgirl, he said, "I heard that I haven't seen you since your leg was restored, how are you feeling?" ”
"Thanks, big boy." Barbara smiled, "I'm so good." ”
She glanced around the two boys and asked, "Can any of you tell me why we were summoned today?" Sister, but there is something very important that has not been dealt with, so she ran over. ”
Nightwing smiled bitterly: "Who isn't?" However, since the summoning order was used, Bruce must have encountered some very big trouble or a problem that we need to work together to solve, well, it is also a very big problem. ”
At this moment, the sound of the hatch opening was heard from behind. The lights came in first, and then the Batmobile rushed into the parking space.
Batman jumped out of his seat and strode over. Red Robin said, "Okay Bruce, if there's anything important, just hurry up, you know we're all here in the middle of our busy schedules." ”
"I know." Batman's voice was just as thick and deep as it was, "I'm thankful for all of you. ”
The three of them were a little surprised, it was very rare to hear the word "thank you" from Batman's mouth. It was almost certain that he must have been stimulated in particular.
Batman ignored the goal of the three of them, and walked quickly to the bat computer and operated: "I summoned you this time so that you can help me find someone." I know you all have your own eyes and your own ways, so I hope to use as many resources as possible to find him. ”
After saying that, a photo of the person he was talking about had already popped up on the screen. The photograph is a little blurry, but you can roughly tell that it is a person wearing a red helmet similar to a motorcycle helmet and wearing a leather jacket.
"His name is Red Hood." Batman said, his voice revealing a faint sadness that was not easy to detect.
