Chapter 289: Prologue to the City of Arkham
Outside the high walls of the city of Arkham.
A high platform was erected outside the walls of the quarantine zone, and the crowd of onlookers blocked the road. Journalists scrambled forward, and photographers flashed almost instantly.
A tall, blonde reporter stood in the middle of a noisy crowd and reported to the camera: "This is Vicky Vale of the Gotham Gazette, bringing you the report on the spot." I'm now in the controversial mega-prison city of Arkham. Within minutes, Bruce Wayne himself will be on stage to explain why he suddenly began to care about Gotham's municipal scene, the millionaire and playboy who has never been."
As she said this, Bruce Wayne, dressed in an atmospheric custom suit, happened to pass behind her, and he couldn't stop dropping the phrase: "It's a billionaire, Vicky." Millionaires have long been the old calendar. ”
Noticing the protagonist's entry, I don't know who was the first to shout, and then everyone gathered around Bruce, and the sound of photographers pressing the shutter came and went, and at this moment each of them wished that they could have the speed of the Flash's hand to take more pictures.
Bruce stepped onto the stage, with him on several huge screens behind him.
"Thank you! Thank you Gotham City! Bruce spoke into the microphone, his voice coming out of the stereo amplifier in a particularly thick voice.
"The gang boss imprisoned behind this high wall is now engaged in a bloody battle. And there, at one time, was the center of our great city. Every prisoner from Arkham Asylum and Black Gate Prison has been relocated to this prison, but what is the safety of the people of Gotham? ”
While he was speaking, on the top floor of the building, Roy was standing on the edge of the building wearing the equipment of a winged knight, like a hunter observing the situation.
"Today, I'm going to start the campaign." Bruce continued, "Support the closure of Arkham City and make Gotham City safe again!" ”
Sirens pierced the night sky, and the tires of several armored vehicles rubbed against the ground with a sharp and sharp sound. Armed from head to toe and armed with military firearms, the Tiger guards jumped out of their cars and rushed towards the podium.
"Remember," a voice came from the public in the headsets of all the Tiger Guards, "Wayne is the number one target. ”
Several tear gas canisters quickly rolled into the crowd, and the smoke screen that spread quickly caused an uproar and chaos. The audience panicked, and several Tiger guards jumped on the stage and rushed towards Bruce.
Roy saw all of this, but didn't jump down to stop them. He pressed the headset in his helmet and asked, "What now?" ”
Bruce replied in a low voice, "Hold still, but don't lose it." ”
Roy understood and said, "Understood." ”
Two guards jumped onto the stage and pointed their guns at Bruce, who honestly raised his hands in surrender.
"The target has been contained!"
"Repeat, we've got Wayne!"
The guard on the podium raised the butt of his rifle and slammed it into Bruce's head.
The next moment, he felt that it was pitch black in front of him.
"Ahh
The intense touch of the electric shock of a high-voltage electric current awakened his senses. Bruce slowly opened his eyes, as if he heard someone shouting from the farthest reaches in the sky, "Wake up, Mr. Wayne." ”
Bruce opened his eyes, and the first thing that caught his eye was a bald head. Hugo Stevich wears a pair of round-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, a beard on his chin, and a white outfit that looks like a researcher in a research laboratory. In appearance, Hugo Stevich is dressed like an academic master, and he doesn't feel like a crime boss at all.
"I think I should thank you." Stevich chuckled, "It's easier to catch Bruce Wayne than it is to catch Batman." ”
Bruce was now sitting in a chair, his hands and feet in metal shackles, and he couldn't move half a minute. He took a closer look at the environment. Now he's in a rather old room, maybe once a warehouse. The walls were rusty, gray and white metal, and an iron hook hung from the ceiling.
Bruce gritted his teeth: "Stevich? I know about you, too! You're a madman, you must shut down Arkham City! It's out of control here. ”
Stevich chuckled dryly.
"Turn it off? You haven't figured it out yet, Mr. Wayne. He laughed, "Soon." It won't be long before I'll be a hero like you, Batman. ”
He stood up, took a deep breath, and said, "Now that you're in our hands, Protocol Ten is ready." It's going to be a shiver for me, and it's also a memento of your personal failures. If you try to stop me, I'll make sure everyone knows your secret. ”
When the Tiger Guard's car hijacked Bruce Wayne from the lecture site, no one noticed the Winged Knight silently jumping off and grabbing it onto the chassis of one of the cars.
So, they entered Arkham City with such a "stowaway" in such an unknown way, all the way to the place where their boss Stevic was.
Right now.
Behind Bruce, the only window in the room shattered with a clatter. The Winged Knight slammed through the window and leaped in, rolling on the spot and crouching to his feet, staring straight at Stevich with a knife-cold gaze.
"Haha, Winged Knight." Stevich smiled, "I've been keeping an eye on you lately, and you're really impressive. ”
"I've won a prize, and today I'm going to make it more profound." Roy said this coldly and strode forward.
Stevich said faintly through the headset: "Take him." ”
A large number of heavily armed guards rushed outside the door and rushed towards Roy.
"I've studied your gear." Stevich walked to the door as he walked, "My in-depth research has given me a good idea of your equipment and fighting style. Of course, I also shared my findings with my team, and you will find that every one of my soldiers is as agile as you are, and their combat gear is completely restrained by your various weapons. I've specially designed armor that absorbs shocks to minimize damage they take in combat, and I'm curious if your coat will have the same effect. ”
With that, Stevich swaggered out the door.
"I'm sure you're going to realize that I've calculated all the developments, my research is seamless, and I haven't left you any chance, now, give me the Winged Knight." (To be continued.) )
