Chapter 48: Arkham (Asking for Votes and Reading)
[Initial Mission: Escape from Arkham (in progress)]
[Main Quest: Raging Gotham (can be opened by completing the pre-task)]
[Ravage Gotham: Evade Batman's pursuit and defeat him to become a true outlaw. 】
When Lu Wu was awakened by the sound of the mission, he found himself in a room covered with white tiles and filled with the smell of disinfectant water.
At first, he thought he was still in the mysterious space, but he didn't know that the mission had begun until he saw the restraint clothes on his body and a stranger in front of him wearing a white coat and a mask.
So this is the talent-filled Arkham Mental Hospital?
Lu Wu looked around curiously, but was stopped by the doctor opposite.
"Be honest, Graves!"
Then, the doctor-looking man said to the guards behind Lu Wu, "Put something on him!" ”
After hearing this, the dark-skinned, five-year-old and three-thick guard put a strange metal helmet that had been prepared long ago on Lu Wu's head.
There were several lines at the top of the helmet that extended backwards, connecting to a place that Lu Wu couldn't see.
And the guard was holding a voltmeter with a knob in his hand.
", electric chair!"
Unexpectedly, the system came in and gave him such a big surprise, and the frightened Lu Wu hurriedly struggled desperately.
But he had already been bound to the wooden chair by the belt, and he couldn't break free at all.
Seeing that he was struggling harder, the doctor decided to teach the disobedient prisoner a lesson.
"1500 volts, 20 seconds, go!"
With his command, the guard turned the switch in his hand as instructed.
There was no scene of electric current scurrying and sparks flying, but it was terrifying enough, Lu Wu's rough brown skin instantly turned red, and white smoke with a burnt smell rose from the place where the electrodes touched the skin.
The strong current caused his muscles to spasm, and his whole body was as straight as a bowstring.
The muscles all over his body were bruised, and his expression was extremely distorted, but because his mouth was wrapped in duct tape, he could only let out a heavy whimper.
These 20 seconds seemed to be longer than a lifetime, and it didn't finally end until Lu Wu was about to faint.
The doctor put his hands behind his back and waited until he was no longer twitching before continuing to ask, "Graves, tell me everything you know." ”
"It's going to make your life in prison a little easier for decades to come."
Who knows, after the guard took off the restraint on Lu Wu's mouth, what he said was actually true.
"Dear Doctor, may I ever have a chance to know your name?"
Although the content of the words was very polite, the tone was not kind.
As Arkham's longest-serving doctor, he has seen countless outlaws, and of course he knows what Lu Wu means, so he wants to know his name and find an opportunity to take revenge in the future.
So he said coldly: "1700 volts, 10 seconds." ”
The guard is familiar with adjusting the parameters required by the doctor, and then does not hesitate to turn on the button.
Lu Wu shook violently again, and his screams kept echoing through the room.
By the time the shock was over, he was as red as a ripe prawn, and large areas of his skin were burned and accompanied by a smell of meat.
After a few minutes, after the prisoner had recovered a little, the doctor spoke again: "Say! ”
Lu Wu squinted, stared at the name tag on his chest and said, "It turned out to be Dr. Marin, I remember you." ”
Seeing that he looked unrepentant, Dr. Marin laughed angrily: "I just like a tough guy like you, I can play for a few more days." ”
"2000 volts, 10 seconds."
The guards also seemed to be addicted to this abusive game, and immediately followed the instructions. Twist the button a third time.
At this moment, Lu Wu, who had been devastated twice before, failed to hold on, and passed out in a coma.
When the doctor saw that there was no feedback from the prisoner, and he was afraid that something would happen, he asked the guard to stop first, and instructed: "Carry the prisoner back to rest first, and bring the next one in fifteen minutes." ”
With that, he turned around and walked out of the electrocution chamber and chatted with the new psychiatrist.
After hearing this, the guards hurriedly beckoned someone to send Lu Wu back to the cell.
......
When Lu Wu woke up, he was already lying on the cramped single bed in the cell.
The wound burned by the electricity was treated, bandaged, and changed into a black and white striped prison uniform.
And his first reaction was to see if the hero's skin had been changed for nothing this time.
Just when Lu Wu was annoyed, a voice came from the cell next to him: "Hey, man, how are you, are you okay?" ”
"It's okay, it's not a big deal." Lu Wu casually said a perfunctory sentence and began to observe the surroundings.
This is a single cell, with a maximum size of a few square meters.
After putting down a single bed, it was difficult to turn around with Graves' muscular body.
In the corner is a toilet with a small sink above it, with towels, soap, and toiletries made of soft plastic.
Other than that, there was nothing else in the cell.
The overall environment is clean, there is no smell, the sheets and pillows are all brand new, it should be just moved in.
Looking out through the iron bar, the rest of the cells are basically in this configuration.
It should be leisure time, and the prisoners are mostly in their cells, reading, sleeping, and talking to the people in the next room.
From time to time, guards patrol back and forth, but they all turn a blind eye to what is happening in the cells.
Considering the relationship between the initial mission, Lu Wu decided to observe and observe more carefully, so as to find a way to escape.
Unexpectedly, the neighbor who accosted him just now was very enthusiastic and seemed to be a chatterbox.
But there is nothing wrong with this, at least let Lu Wu know some basic information.
For example, Arkham is more of a prison than a mental hospital, initially for mentally ill inmates.
Since Batman's appearance, it has become a place where superpowered criminals or supervillains are kept.
Of course, Lu Wu is still far from that level, and he is only locked up with ordinary prisoners.
And the reason why he came here, according to neighbors, Graves, a dragon who crossed the river from an unknown source, had the audacity to rob the bank owned by the Wayne Group, but when he escaped, he was captured by Batman and imprisoned here.
Because he has always refused to explain the whereabouts of the money, he is often taken care of by the guards here.
The good deeds also gave him the nickname [Pure Master Graves].
used this to ridicule his stupid appearance of being often electrocuted by Marin and carrying it to the end.
But this personality also made him gain a group of admirers in Arkham, and he regarded himself as his younger brother every day.
The key information in it was kept in Lu Wu's heart, and these little brothers of admirers may be used in the future prison escape plan.
Next, the chatty neighbor began to tell the reason why he came in, but Lu Wu was in no mood to listen to it anymore at this time.
Instead, he looked at the old yellowed ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking.
