Chapter 110: Fallen Knight
The identity of the victim who was shot at close range was quickly clarified - Andrew? Shelton, as Barbara puts it, is a professor at her alma mater. Regarding his murderer, it should be said that it is very easy to identify. Although the professor had never been married during his lifetime and had never been caught arguing with anyone in public, his teaching assistant said he had once stumbled upon Professor Andrew and had a private argument with a strange man.
The next thing is simple, Barbara hacks into Professor Andrew's email and finds an account with which he has some encrypted communication. To put it simply, the professor was secretly engaged in some scammers with an unknown person. Professor Andrew, perhaps feeling that he had made enough money lately, or perhaps he felt that he was fed up with the sublimation of fear, in any case, he proposed to stop doing it.
And his accomplice obviously couldn't have given up so easily. In order to negotiate a result, the two agreed to settle the matter in the empty room, and the final result of the discussion was that the professor's accomplice was determined to kill the people.
The identity of this accomplice is also very easy to confirm. Barbara was easily able to get his name through IP address tracking - Colin? Jacobo. As Roy prepares to dress up and go to capture the guy, Barbara puts on her uniform that has been idle for three years and goes with him.
"Nope." He replied so crisply.
Barbara raised her eyebrows: "Why?" β
"You're still recovering, you need more time to get back to shape." Roy said, "Later." β
"Oh, please, I'm your master, I don't need you to worry about my safety." Barbara retorted, "I've even washed my uniform and waited for this day." β
"But I'm afraid this day will have to be postponed." Roy said non-negotiably, "It's true that you're my master, but you and I both know it's more than that. You've long since stopped there, you mean so much to me, and I don't want to fight while worrying about your safety. So, do me a favor and forget it today, okay? β
Barbara stared at him for a moment, then speechless.
"Okay." She finally relented.
Colin? Jagbu walked briskly into the underground parking lot and walked along the neat rows of cars. Recognizable to his car by the dim white light, he pulled out his key fob to unlock it.
But at this moment, he suddenly lost his balance and fell to the ground. He cried out helplessly, and something was holding his ankle upside down.
Colin felt a little dizzy, most likely caused by the backflow of blood into his brain. He quickly turned his gaze, and soon identified the culprit who had made him hang upside downβthe black knight with a burning bat like hellfire on his chest.
"Winged Knight?" He panicked, "What are you doing?" I'm going to sue you."
"Colin? Jacobo! Roy said coldly in a deep voice that changed his voice, "You murdered Andrew for defrauding a lot of money?" Sheldon was arrested on charges. β
"What? You madman, I didn't do anything! Colin shouted.
Roy turned around, ignoring him and preparing to leave: "All encrypted communications between you and him have been cracked and sent to GCPD, explain to the police." β
He was about to leave. But as soon as he took two steps, he heard a sound of breaking the air from behind, and then Colin's struggle stopped.
Realizing that something was wrong, he turned his head sharply, only to see that Colin had his hands pulled by gravity and hung limply, and a Doji dart was nailed into his heart, and the orange dart shimmered faintly in the white light.
"If you want me to say," a woman's voice came from the darkness, "the only punishment for these scumbags is the death penalty. β
As she, and her camp, left the darkness and stepped into the incandescent light, Roy's face grimaced, realizing that the person he had been looking for had finally appeared in front of him.
Three people stood there. On the left-hand side is a black man, who looks young but has white hair, he wears a black blindfold, he is dressed in black, his leather shoes and leather gloves are pure black, and he wears a belt with wolf tooth nails printed around his waist; The woman on the right is quite noticeable, because she has a pair of huge wings on her back, a mace in her hand, purple hair, and also wears an eye patch.
The person standing at the end wore a purple hood, and the cloak encased her body like a huge trench coat. The silver-white armor on her chest was painted with a fiery red cross, and a faintly flickering golden mask appeared to be under the hood.
"I haven't introduced myself yet." The woman in the cloak spoke, "The man on my left is called Desolation, and the woman on my right is called Purification, and they are both members of the 'stigmatizer', my glorious warriors. And I"
She said this, pausing deliberately, as if trying to strengthen her tone, but Roy interrupted her and said, "Fallen Knight." β
"Exactly." The Fallen Knight said, "Looks like you've done your homework, Winged Knight. β
Roy continued, "And I'm sure that the wrestler not so long ago, Sally? Sarasota, she works for you too, right? β
"Ah, you beat her." The Fallen Knight said, "I have a high opinion of that. Her code name is the Bone Crusher, and she is one of my most powerful assistants, and you defeated her. And she says 'pretty good' about you. β
"That's flattering." Roy said coldly.
The Fallen Knight continued, "The Bone Crusher says there's something else in you, something similar to what we're doing now. She believes that you can understand our behavior, because deep down you deny it, you approve of it. β
"Thanks for the invitation, but for the invitation to join your Murderer Club, I still choose PASS."
As soon as the words fell, Roy threw out three darts in his hand, pointing at the Purification, the Fallen Knight, and the Desolate Three.
Barren did not change his complexion, and with a shake of his hand, the yellow liquid was thrown out of his hand like a water arrow, elongated into a long arc. The three batarangs collided head-on with the pale yellow water arrows one after another, and the thick white smoke spread rapidly, and each dart was only half left when it came out of the liquid, and it could not continue to fly smoothly and had to fall to the ground.
Roy frowned, already seeing it. The desolate guy released some kind of terrible acid in his hand, and he had to be as careful as possible not to touch it.
Fortunately, he seems to be weak in hand-to-hand combat, but he can be used as a breakthrough. The barren palm was opened, and the acid condensed into two columns of water, which spun and shot towards Roy's face. Roy rolled forward, kicked his feet as soon as he rolled up, and pounced at full speed towards the desolation.
Of course, it can't be that simple. On the other side, the winged guy called "Purification" spread his wings and carried the mace, which was shocking at first glance, like a lit rocket.
She's fast, like a car that starts at zero distance. Roy, who had just straightened up, didn't have a chance to dodge again, and was stopped by her waist and hugged him, feeling like he was being pushed against the front of the car and flew out upside down.
After two seconds of extreme acceleration, the purification wings spread violently, and suddenly braked suddenly, and at the same moment, the knee was raised and slammed, and the chest armor of the winged knight was in the middle. Roy was thrown out at high speed by inertia, knocking a crack in a thick pillar that supported the underground parking lot.
Purification floated in the air, triumphant: "Are you willing to listen to us now?" Brat? β
Roy quickly assessed the damage of the collision, and at the same time ironically: "Not yet, wait until I finish punching you." β
As soon as the words fell, he clenched his right fist, as if he had activated some mechanism. Immediately after, the unintelligible fibers on the zipline on the back of his hand contracted rapidly, and it was only then that Purification realized that the other end of the load-bearing fibers was hanging from his belt, but it was too late. She was pulled at Roy without saying anything, and Roy raised his fist and slammed a punch into her right cheek in the face of her forward charge, beating her to the point of vomiting blood, half of her face immediately swollen, and she fell to the ground in embarrassment.
"It's too tender." Roy stood up against the pillar, not noticing the other side, where a thick stream of acid had already gathered in his barren hands, ready to erupt towards him.
A whirling dart cracked through the air, and a concussive batrang hit the barren brain, knocking him head-on and interrupting his sneak attack.
In the darkness, another bat jumped down with its wings outstretched. Her close-fitting black uniform accentuated her perfect curves, her fiery red hair hung from behind her pointy-eared bat mask, and the golden bat markings on her chest stood out against the dark uniform.
"As a result, without the master watching, it still doesn't work." Batgirl teased in a mischievous tone.
