Chapter 486: Red Hood VS Sharp Claw
The impact of the flames came suddenly, and there was no way to avoid it. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoRoy only had time to find a temporary table to use as cover, but of course this old wooden table could not have been very blastproof.
In an instant, the secret room belonging to the owl turned into a sea of fire.
Roy gritted his teeth and used the strength of his arms to lift the heavy wreckage that had fallen on him, and struggled to his feet. The air around them was boiling hot, and burning wood chips were falling like rain. The giant owl coin was burned to the color of fire, and it rolled down Roy's head with sizzling white gas.
Roy hurriedly rolled to the side to avoid it, but the heavy coin crumbled down the floor with a "bang". Roy's feet were empty, and he quickly reached out and grabbed the edge of the crack in the floor, his body hanging from the ceiling of the next floor, and a sea of fire beneath his feet.
The edifice is new, but everything in this chamber looks very old, and some of the objects date back to the 19th century. It can be assumed that these things did not exist in the first place, and were only moved here after the building was built, just as Batman left his spare strongholds throughout the city.
Struggling to climb back to the burning ground above, Roy spun around and rushed towards the wall on one side, revealing the miniature bomb. The bomb activated, and he flicked his arm, and the bomb spun and stuck to the inside of the wall. But when he heard a "boom", the reinforced concrete was suddenly blasted away by gunpowder, and the trail of flames dragged behind Roy rushed out, and the cool breeze in the night sky blew in his face, so that the people who had just come out of the fire couldn't help but lift their spirits.
Seconds later, he had landed on the roof directly opposite.
"Roy, what's going on?" Barbara's anxious voice came from the headphones, "The vital signs of your armor have changed dramatically, the temperature has skyrocketed, what happened?" ā
"I just found one of their strongholds and triggered a trap, but it's okay now." Roy said lightly, "But the progress is not small." The court is trying to convince us that they are indeed the legendary organization that has been with Gotham, a man behind it who has ruled Gotham for centuries and enforces his will through a killer named 'Talon'. And some of the things I just discovered, perhaps dating back to the 19th century, make this legend possible. ā
"So you believe it? This legend? ā
"What's not to be trusted?" Roy said, "Before he met Batman, he was just an urban legend, wasn't he?" ā
"Reasonable." Barbara said, "Now, what's next?" ā
"Next, we're going to dig a grave."
More than a dozen kilometers away, the Reich Heights.
"Ahh
The Red Hood was knocked into the air with great force, and his back smashed a wooden plank across the alley in two, and he fell to the ground in embarrassment.
Riding on him, a killer wearing an ancient golden helmet and yellow round eyepieces with eyes like the eyes of an owl is standing here, one of the invincible killers of the owl court in the nursery rhyme, "Talon". Golden claws protruded from the back of his black gloves, and the tips seemed to shimmer with a faint silver light.
The reason why Jason encountered a claw in such a place was a pure accident.
Tonight's character should have been simple, he had come to Ryker Heights to find a speculative merchant named Marken Snell for some information, and if it wasn't enough, he might have given him a gun in the head. But a claw who had also come to take Marken's life was completely out of his plan.
"It's not easy to be a good person once in a while." Jason shook his head, "Dude, you don't have bulletproof armor, how did you eat my two guns as if nothing happened?" ā
"I am one of the glorious claws, and I have risen from the grave for the sole purpose of destroying my master's enemies." Talon said in a low voice, "I'm not afraid of bullets. ā
"So it looks like we still have something in common, if you don't use some kind of rhetoric about getting up from the grave."
"No, you're just a fool standing between me and my prey." Talon's voice was eerie and low, "Die! ā
As soon as the words fell, he flashed a short knife out of nowhere, and a knife fell with a fierce hurricane.
"Khooth!"
The sharp knife collided with the red hooded helmet, leaving a cracked hole in the hollow. Jason was shocked, he thought that no knife could pierce this helmet, but now it seemed that if he did it again, his head would have to be pierced together.
Of course, he wouldn't give the claw another chance.
"Bang!"
Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent's knife failed to penetrate and the action stopped, Jason shot him in the head without hesitation. The other party subconsciously tilted his head, and the bullet grazed his forehead, shaking his body backwards.
Jason took the opportunity to swing his arm with all his might, swept it away from him, and then made up another kick that made him retreat.
"Really?" Jason gasped and stood up, "This is your second act show?" Do you have a chance to come back from the dead, and the only thought in your head is 'Assassin'? ā
"I'm a slave to the Court of Owls." The other party said in a calm tone, and suddenly his movements were uncoordinated.
"Hell, it's time." He muttered to himself.
Jason asked, "When?" What event? Mother owl calling you home for dinner? ā
Without paying any more attention to him, the claw turned his head and jumped up, took advantage of the force on one wall and flew up to the second floor of the residential building with incredible bounce, rushing up the safety ladder to the top floor like a professional parkourer, and plunging into the dark night sky.
"Dude, don't be in a hurry to leave, we haven't finished talking yet!"
Jason shouted, following after him.
While he was chasing, he also felt strange in his heart. The first is the matter of "coming back from the dead", and the other party saying that he crawled out of the grave does not seem to be a lie, but this is not an understatement that can be accepted. In addition, the fact that the other party hardly eats guns, has great strength, and seems to have no pain, there are too many doubts about everything about this claw.
Finally, there is what he calls "the time is up." What does this mean?
Chasing the claws from street to alley, Jason felt more and more as if they were heading to a place he was familiar with. The two of them leaped past a huge billboard with the words "Harry's Circus" written on it.
Is it some kind of coincidence? Or is it deliberate? Or is this guy running in this direction subconsciously at all?
Jason remembered that this was the circus that gave them Dick Grayson in the first place.
"Damn." When Jason landed from the top of a tent, the guy was suddenly gone.
Lose someone.
But he didn't lose it at all, and thanks to Bruce's training in his detective skills, maybe he knew where to find this guy. (To be continued.) )
