Chapter 122: Raid on a Cruise Ship
Outside the Gotham Pier, a huge private freighter pushes through the dark waves of the night. Karis? Kearns stood at the stern of the ship, surrounded by three of her closest "stigmatizers", looking towards the shore where Gotham was.
Gotham City was no longer visible from here, but she had been looking there since she left the port, as if Gotham had been in her sight all along. She wore a noble white evening dress, like a flower facing the waves, and looked solemnly in the direction of Gotham, letting the sea breeze stir her long golden and silky hair.
"Don't stay too long and catch a cold, sir." Sully, Carris's most loyal assistant, carried.
Karis smiled slightly, "No. Do you know? Where Gotham City gave birth to me...... It's my home, it's where I've always been. I love Gotham, a lot of people can't imagine me thinking that, but I just love the city that has taken all my family. ”
She said in a sad tone: "There is nothing wrong with this city in the first place, it is just sick and needs someone to come to help, that's all." ”
"You've got what you can." Purification said, "After tonight, all will be well." Gotham will become what we want it to be, it will become a clean, blemish-free place. ”
"I hope so." Karis brushed a strand of hair from her forehead and whispered, "But I always have a sense of foreboding. ”
The ship was quite large for a wealthy man's private vessel, with a hull close to the length of a small cargo ship. The entire ship was littered with mercenaries with guns from start to finish - Karis had hired a lot of men to solve the problem, and of course he had a reserve force here just in case.
And now, her caution has proven to be very necessary.
There was hardly any light on the water, except for the ship's headlights, which illuminated the surrounding water, like a bright light sailing on a black body of water. In the complete darkness of the night, several bats with their wings spread quickly glided close to the ship.
Less than half an hour ago, Roy received a tip-off from the mysterious man behind Karis and learned the specific route of Karis. He immediately contacted Batwoman and asked her to come and help.
Karis had already gone a long time in advance, and if he wanted to catch up with her, he would just get an ordinary ship, and God knows how long he would have to catch up. So Barbara sends a message to the Batcave, asking to "borrow" Batman's cool Batfighter for use.
Batman himself recently went out on field with his group Justice League, so Nightwing, who was invited by Batman to Gotham to "watch the house" in the past few days, drove the Batfighter to pick up the Winged Knight, Batwoman and Batgirl. The pitch-black fighter flew directly above the yacht without a sound, and Nightwing switched the plane to autopilot mode before jumping off the other three in quick succession.
Of course, the Winged Knight's equipment didn't have a cloak that could be used as a glider, so he temporarily requisitioned Batman to keep on the plane as a backup. I believe that Batman has a lot of money and will not care about a cape that he takes away in an emergency.
Several people jumped under the water and approached the cruise ship. Roy was the first to shoot the zipline and hook it to the edge of the hull, pulling his body up and hanging from the edge of the deck.
There were only two guards on deck. When one of them turned behind an obstacle and the other happened to have his back in Roy's direction, he leaped up from the edge with agility, crouched down and approached one of them like a night owl, covering his mouth and nose from behind, and striking down with a skilful and silent knockout.
Nightwing on the other side jumped onto the deck and quietly brought down the other man.
The four of them efficiently dealt with all the guards who were guarding along the way, until they fainted and none of the mercenaries noticed the sneak attack behind them. The intruders came and fled through the darkness, and no one was alarmed, and no one had the opportunity to sound the siren or shout "intruder" over the walkie-talkie.
But when they found Karis at the stern of the boat, she had already changed into her uniform and was ready, like a master ready to greet her guests.
"I knew you were coming." Karis said lightly, "My people will report to me every once in a while, but the last report was less. So I knew you were coming, just as I expected from the beginning. ”
"You only get one chance." Roy said coldly, "Stop what you're doing." There's nowhere to run from you, Karis. That mysterious employer of yours has now betrayed you. He was the one who told me where you were, and you were no longer of use to him. The days when he cleared you from all guilt are gone. ”
His voice was cold, and he said, "Give up, we already have evidence that can make you stay in prison for the rest of your life, you are just being used by that person." And now, you, who have lost your use value, have been regarded by him as the object of eradication. ”
Karis snorted, "As long as I can achieve my ultimate goal, I don't care. Stigmators, get rid of them. ”
I don't know how many rounds of the fight will start again. It's just that this time the location of the collision was changed from the top floor of the giant building to the deck of a luxurious private yacht.
And this time, with the addition of Nightwing, the two sides finally had an equal four-on-four, which undoubtedly added more chances to Roy's side.
Batgirl confronts the Desolation, and the powerful Bone Crusher rushes towards Nightwing. Batgirl dodged the powerful acid jets of the barren with her dancing dexterity and asked Nightwing, "That guy has a lot of strength, can you handle it?" ”
"Of course," Nightwing smiled confidently, and the two short sticks in his hand released a blue arc of electricity, "who do you think I am?" ”
Batwoman fights Purification again. Purification shouted: "I was careless last time, and you don't want to beat me again today!" ”
As she spoke, she flapped her wings like a bullet and charged at Batwoman, her mace dancing vigorously. Batwoman leaned back as she pulled two balls from her waist and threw them towards the Purification Door. The ball exploded, releasing a screen of fire and smoke, and the force of the impact pushed Purification back the way it came.
"You'll have to practice again." Batwoman snorted.
Karis - aka the Fallen Knight, as strong as ever. Roy felt more and more witty of his decision not to wear a cape, and the wide cloak of the Dark Knight behind him made it difficult for him to move. The sea breeze blew his cloak like a balloon, severely slowing him down, and facing an opponent like the Fallen Knight, who was already careless, suddenly became a serious weakness. After a few rounds, Roy was kicked in the cheek and staggered back to the fence at the edge of the deck.
"Last time, I lost to you in a moment of recklessness." The Fallen Knight confidently said, "There won't be a second time today!" ”
"We'll see."
Roy quickly untied his black cloak and threw it aside, saying.
