Chapter 2070: The Night of the Knight's Horror (12)
In the hazy glow, Robin felt himself being dragged by someone, and he moved his dry lips in an effort to lift his heavy eyelids.
The light was very dim, but it gave his eyes less time to adjust, and he saw a dark shadow, dressed in tights, without a mask, not Nightwing in size.
Robin didn't dare to say anything because he realized something and just pretended he was still unconscious, but there was nothing else he could do because he couldn't control his limbs at all.
He heard a slightly familiar voice in the darkness.
"I'd love to say ...... But I'm a bit busy right now......"
Peter...... Sure enough, it was Peter Parker, Robin closed his eyes in some pain, was it his own initiative to find the door that made Batman relax his vigilance? Why hasn't his new assistant been put to the test?
Batman wouldn't be so careless, so what exactly did this Peter Parker use to confuse Batman?
After the accident in which the whole city was unconscious, Robin went to investigate, he knew where there was a device to monitor the direction of the air flow in the city, and rushed to the weather control center in Wayne Tower as soon as the accident occurred.
And Robin was smart because he didn't go directly to the central hall of the weather controller, but went to the monitoring room of Wayne Tower, and directly called up the monitoring of the weather control center.
He then witnessed Peter placing the red slime into Arkham Knight's body.
What's more, he saw Peter take off Arkham Knight's mask, and the face behind him was all too familiar, it was Jason Todd, and there was a picture of him in the Batcave.
Robin was stunned on the spot, Peter Parker shouldn't have anything to do with Jason Todd's disappearance, right?
Even if it didn't matter, he attacked Jason and put a terrifying-looking cloud of slime into his body.
Robin immediately realizes that something is wrong with Peter Parker, but just as he tries to contact Batman, he discovers that the signal band of his communicator is blocked, and he is attacked.
Well, Peter Parker is definitely not right, because Batman wants all his Robins to call him all the time, and there is no way to block anyone's communication band.
The Prophet had no incentive to do so, not to mention that Barbara had just given him a communicator to be able to contact Nightwing, and she wanted everyone to stay in touch, let alone block it.
So who else has that permission? I'm afraid that only the nearest uninvited guest in the Batcave, this kid codenamed Spider-Man.
Peter Parker wasn't here today, he'd been here for a while, but Robin hadn't met him until a few days earlier during the arrest of the Riddler.
This guy has a spider-like mutation ability, not only can shoot spider silk, but also can climb fast on walls, and more importantly, he is infinitely powerful, at that time Robin felt that this was not quite Batman's style of looking for assistants.
But now it's right, Batman's assistant is a super criminal or something, which fits his unlucky style all along.
At this time, another figure walked over, and Robin tried to roll his eyes up, trying to see clearly but was afraid of being discovered, but fortunately, the figure soon spoke.
"Well, Gordon and Robin from Batman, what else do you want to do? Stop it! Peter! I can't go crazy with you like this anymore. ”
"Lady Poison Ivy, please have a bit of a super-criminal consciousness, besides, you only anesthetized them, but didn't kill them."
"Then why don't you have the consciousness of a superhero assistant?! You've destroyed Gotham City twice, and now you're going to destroy the Bat Family, and you've surpassed the Joker for your brilliant record! ”
Spider-Man sighed, stuffed Robin into the deepest part of the cargo compartment and got into the car, sat in the driver's seat and looked at Poison Ivy and said, "If you don't come with me, if you are caught by Batman alone, the bones of your limbs will definitely not be saved." ”
"But if I go with you, my life will not be saved!"
"That's for later, trust me, Batman won't go crazy, he's in a period of emotional relief right now and is thinking about it, which will cause him to ignore what happened in reality for a while, we need to take this opportunity to quickly solve the evidence."
Poison ivy was helpless, but eventually got into the car, knowing that without Peter, who was like a god, she would run away with her, and it wouldn't be long before she was caught by Batman.
With the city destroyed and family members captured, Poison Ivy can't imagine what Batman will do to her in order to find clues, she is not a clown family known for their resilience.
The truck drove all the way around the city, driving far, far away, until Robin couldn't figure out the direction of the vehicle, but the light through the crack in the door of the truck showed that the car was driving away from the city.
Robin listened intently to the movement in the carriage, and he heard that Peter and Poison Ivy should have gotten out of the car, so he tried to wake up, regain control of his limbs, and escape.
But the feeling of paralysis followed, and Robin guessed that he must have been infected with plant toxins, which was very troublesome, and without specific drugs, it was impossible to get rid of it by his own metabolism alone.
After trying to recover for a while, Robin began to think of other options, such as using his communication device to contact Batman, but just then, the door of the truck compartment was opened again.
A heavy sack was lifted up, and both Poison Ivy and Peter got into the carriage, and the sack was opened, revealing another corpse.
No, not the corpse, Robin could hear the faint breathing of the third person, but it seemed that because Poison Ivy had no night vision, they brought an emergency flashlight to illuminate the darkness in the carriage.
With this light, Robin recognized the man who was tied up by the flowers, mainly the black mask on his face.
How did Black Mask end up here? Isn't he dead?
The black mask was covered with duct tape, and there were wires wrapped all over his body, judging from the strangulation marks, he had been tied up for at least half a month, and even if he couldn't see his eyes, Robin could read his horror from his body movements.
Robin never thought that he would empathize with a supercriminal, but at this moment he was indeed a little frightened, Peter Parker had kidnapped Black Mask half a month ago.
In fact, Robin's investigation of the Black Mask death case is more detailed than that of Batman, and he has been busy pursuing the case for a while before, so he has not met Peter.
Robin has actually always wanted to prove himself in front of Batman, to prove that he can solve the case independently, and the death of Black Mask is not a big case, but after all, he is a villain with a name and a surname, Robin feels that if he can complete the investigation independently, he can also prove his ability in front of Batman.
But Gordon obviously didn't pay so much attention to this case, although anyone could see that Black Mask didn't commit suicide by jumping off a building, but was pushed down, but Gordon only regarded it as a vendetta case of gangsters pouring out against each other.
So when Robin arrived at the scene, Gordon did not wait for Batman to protect the scene as before, but sent the body away early in order to prevent Black Mask's men from fighting the fire.
At this juncture, the Riddler affair occurred, and Robin was transferred by Batman to capture the Riddler with Peter.
At the time, Batman's argument was that Peter had just arrived and was unfamiliar with Gotham's roads, and you needed to help him find the Riddler hiding in the alley.
Let's not mention that Peter can completely open the Tianyan system to find it by himself, isn't this timing too coincidental?
And when Robin wanted to go to the morgue to see the body of the black mask, Gordon reluctantly said that the black police in the police station had destroyed the body.
At that time, Robin and Gordon discussed the Black Mask case, and Gordon gave the information that the Black Coat who did it in the police station was most likely a Penguin Man.
Robin is also suspicious of the penguin, but apparently the cunning of the super-criminals is beyond his expectations, and neither the surveillance camera nor the Sky Eye system has been able to capture the image of the penguin people entering and leaving the Black Mask's lair.
Now it seems that it is not the penguin man who is in and out of the Black Mask Lair, but Peter Parker, so it makes sense.
This guy can climb walls, swing spider silk, and has infinite strength, isn't it easy to hide from a surveillance camera?
And one last question, why did he kidnap Black Mask?
Peter cooperated to tear off the tape from Black Mask's mouth and said to him, "Mr. Black Mask, if you don't want to be locked up for so long, give me the evidence of the Penguin's crimes, I need your help, please." ”
"You madman!!" Black Mask screamed, "You damned, shameless, evil madman!! ”
"You'd better think again, Mr. Siannis, think of the concentrated fear venom capsule in your lungs, which can completely burn your brain in 0.02 seconds......"
Black Mask twitched a few times in place, took a deep breath and said, "Damn the scarecrow, damn it, damn it......"
Peter half-knelt and looked at the black-masked face and said, "The Penguins are going to break the contract first, and Professor Crane needs some help to understand the price of the dishonest." ”
Black Mask gritted his teeth and said, "I can give you the evidence, but after you let me go." ”
"You know you don't have room to negotiate conditions."
Black Mask sighed deeply and said, "Tell Jonathan that this time I planted it, he has a good student, go to my safe house on Riegel Street, and find the tape on the second row of the bookshelf......"
Robin was completely stunned.
The relationship between the characters shown in the dialogue just now is a bit too complicated, even if it is him, it will take a while to react.
In other words, this Peter Parker who suddenly appeared was actually a student of Jonathan Klein the Scarecrow.
It is certainly not a day or two since Scarecrow prepared his plan to destroy the city with fear gassing, so it is not impossible that he will train a student to infiltrate Batman's side in advance.
A few weeks ago, Peter Parker suddenly appeared next to Batman, perhaps to help him solve the case, or to provide him with other help, so that Batman discovered his talent and became his assistant naturally.
Then, in the name of an internship, Peter Parker begins to familiarize himself with the terrain and conditions of Gotham, while eyeing the Penguin's old nemesis, Black Mask, and finding a way to make Black Mask fake his death and kidnap him.
And all this is actually to help the scarecrow perfect the plan, as long as the black mask can provide evidence of the penguin's crime, then the scarecrow can blackmail the penguin man to cooperate with him.
After Black Mask was kidnapped, the Penguin Man was not sure if the Scarecrow had obtained the evidence, so he offered some help to the Scarecrow.
Now that the Penguins are restless, Peter Parker finds the Black Mask he was holding again, trying to get the real evidence.
Thinking of the two military vehicles that appeared earlier, Robin can be sure that the Penguin Man's help to the Scarecrow is to provide him with military vehicles and munitions, which is the capital of the Scarecrow team to run amok in Gotham City.
Peter mentions that he has buried a capsule of the Fear Gas Concentrate in Black Mask's body, which must have been the work of the Scarecrow.
And Peter Parker has been with Batman for a few weeks, will Batman be the same......
Robin desperately tried to raise his hand and press the communication device on his arm to remind Batman that this operation to destroy Gotham was not as simple as it seemed.
There is a mastermind behind the scenes who has been planning for weeks before, strategizing and weaving a dark web that vows to kill the entire Gotham City and the Bat Family.
All sorts of clues swept through Robin's mind like the wind, and a second before he fell unconscious, he looked at the reclosed truck door and silently read out the name of the man behind this terrible thing in his mind - "Super Criminal Scarecrow!" ”
Scarecrow:......?
