Chapter 349: Frolic
"The biggest enemy is actually yourself." That's true, but not everyone will have the opportunity to fight themselves - at least not face-to-face in a realistic sense.
Just like Dick Grayson, aka Nightwing, is facing now.
When he was still Robin, Clayface had impersonated him and imitated his movements completely, and even Batman couldn't tell the difference between real and fake from his movements and habits alone.
And now, Nightwing is facing such an opponent who is exactly the same as him in terms of appearance and movement. As weird as it sounds, it feels like you're wrestling with a mirror image of yourself.
The only difference between the two is that the Claymask doesn't get hurt from physical attacks, while he does.
Swept on the cheek with a stick, Nightwing's bloodshot mouthpiece flew out, staggering two steps back.
"What's wrong? Didn't have breakfast? The Claymask scoffed, "Looks like I'd like to think it's the better version." ”
Nightwing wiped the bloodshot from the corner of his mouth: "Don't be complacent too soon, muddy face." I haven't warmed up yet. ”
As soon as he said that, the roar of the plane's engine sounded above the heads of several people. Like a bird of prey in the night, the fighter flew out from the top of a building, reversed its figure, and four figures jumped vertically from the cockpit one after another, landing in the middle of the two nightwings.
Roy, Barbra, Kassandra, and Damian descended, glancing left and right at each of Nightwings.
After looking at it for a long time, Damian said, "Whichever of you is real, you have to know that the other side really looks exactly like you." So maybe this will help you understand why we're going to take you both down next...... Think about the big picture, Nightwing. ”
"Are you kidding? Gremlin? One of the Nightwings raised his stick and pointed at the other side, "That guy is a fake, I'm the real thing!" ”
Of course, the other person was not happy either: "Keep your eyes open and see clearly, that guy is the mud face." And I, I'm the night wing! ”
Barbara chuckled out loud.
"Mimic Nightwings? Earnest? She laughed, "You have a lot of ridiculously stupid ideas, mudface. And this one, probably one of the stupidest of them all. Because the real Nightwing knows something you absolutely don't know. ”
Both of them focused on her and stopped arguing for the time being.
"What happened a few years ago, I'm sure you remember...... When there weren't that many members of the family, it was just the two of us. None of us were like we are now, we were all just haunting Batman and adoring his children. ”
"What happened on the night of my sixteenth birthday, remember?"
Now, just by the facial expressions of the two Nightwings, it is easy to tell whether it is true or not.
"Of course." One of the Nightwings chuckled back, "I ask you if you dare to disobey Batman's order and go out for a night together." No cloak, no uniform, we leaped half Gotham with our feet. I use my acrobatics, you use your ballet, a rare way to play in the world. How can you forget? ”
"yes." Barbara laughed, "But what I'm more impressed with is the ending - Batman punished us for two hours of thinking about it." ”
"Haha, that's not quite memorable. You know, he's made me think about it a lot more times, and I can't remember what the reason for each time is. ”
After another "Nightwing" looked at everyone a few times, he seemed to understand that his disguise had ended here, and snorted coldly: "Boring. ”
After saying that, he completely gave up his disguise, his body re-expanded and expanded, changing back to the original size and appearance of the clay-faced man, and roared and rushed towards everyone.
Each of the five leaps and dodges in one direction.
Roy leaped backwards, landed right next to Barbara, and asked, "Why didn't you mention it before?" ”
Barbara chuckled slyly, "What? Jealous? ”
"No, not at all."
With that, Roy had already jumped again, dodging another round of impact from the Mudface.
The mud-faced man roared, and the area of his hands rose at the same time, and he swung it violently to the sides, and the mud arrows flew out in all directions like rain, covering the entire street in an instant.
Several people found cover one after another, and the mud arrows shot on the bricks and cement on the outer wall of the house and sank in, leaving countless potholes, which seemed to have a lot of penetration.
But there was no figure of Damian.
"Drink!"
At some point, Damian, who had moved to the top, fell from the sky and landed behind the mud-faced man in a half-crouching position, holding a miniature grenade in each hand and stuffing it into the body of the big mud guy, and then jumped and tumbled, landing on the roof of a car rather in style.
"Boom! Rumble! ”
Two grenades exploded at the same time, blasting the upper half of the mud-faced man's body into pieces and splattering mud everywhere.
But the Clayface can't be defeated by physical damage, and he can recover from any serious damage, even if his body is torn to shreds.
The dirt that had been blown off quickly climbed up his legs up his fat body, and the upper half of the body that had been broken by the barrage was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Roy rolled out of cover, pulling out a grenade from his belt that glowed with a pale blue glow, and swung it in an arc towards the Mudface.
"Bang!"
The Freeze Grenade burst through the fracture in the upper half of the Clay Man's body, and a blue mist fell, and ice crystals covered his legs and knees, halting his regeneration.
But only for a moment.
"Ahhh
The earth-shattering roar, the ice covering the surface of the clay man's body was crawled all over the crack after more than ten seconds, and the soft sound of "Kara" continued. After about five seconds, the clay man's body finally shattered completely along with the ice, turning into pieces of ice slag scattered on the ground. The clay soaked with water and softened on the ground, and it escaped through the cracks in the sewers.
"He slipped away! Keep up with him! Damian shouted.
"There's no hurry." Roy said calmly, flashing the projection screen of the mobile computer on his wrist. A diagram of the structure of the sewer is projected on the screen, and a red dot is slowly moving along the structure of the diagram.
"The nanotracker has been hit in this guy's body." "At Wayne Enterprises, I saw him become Bruce Wayne, and that's when I knew that he had absorbed and copied Bruce's DNA, in other words, it was very likely that he knew where Bruce was being held. Follow him, and maybe he'll be able to tell us where Bruce is. (To be continued.) )
