Chapter 154: Lost Evidence
Batman walked through the old door, which had been closed for an unknown number of years, to the other side of the door.
That's right, adhering to the idea of teammates fighting in a group as always, Chu Cheng still has no intention of accompanying his teammates in the madhouse to fight head-on today.
Moreover, half of the people from the pharmaceutical factory of unknown origin have been touched by him in the back row, and the rest of the people Luo Yajun still can't deal with it, so he just don't dig a pit on the spot and bury it.
However, before leaving, he hacked into the closed-circuit camera and recording equipment that one of the team members was carrying, and told Friday to help him pay attention to and record the key content. That way, he didn't have to be physically present – or Batman – to be on the scene to keep track of what's going on, listen to their conversations, and learn about the origins and motivations of the Pharmaceuticals gang.
While all attention was drawn to the skirmish, no one paid any attention to the door anymore. In this way, Chu Cheng was able to take this opportunity to explore the path before anyone else, looking for mission props and seeing if there was more experience to be brushed.
The door is quite sturdy and also quite thick. It seems like it took a long time for the people at the pharmaceutical company to try to break down, but so far they have achieved limited success.
And what may be a bit demoralizing for them is that just after operating Batman through this first door, Chu Cheng quickly found that it was a locked giant door that had not walked a few steps back.
The material is similar to the previous one, but the design structure is different. In other words, after the gang of people from the pharmaceutical factory broke through the first door, they would have immediately found that there was a more difficult one waiting for them to deal with.
Fortunately, it is not a problem for the current Batman.
Because he has the invincible Allen system.
The high-speed oscillation of the armor's atoms allowed him to penetrate through the gaps between the atoms of any matter, making him like a four-dimensional creature who had come to a three-dimensional world, and the door made little sense in front of him.
If there's one biggest drawback to this feature, it's that it consumes a lot of power. And it does not consume the energy of the armor as a whole, but the electricity stored specifically for the use of the Allen system, which is the energy source of the Flash's power source "God Speed Force" that the Lord somehow simulated.
In the display on Chu Cheng's side, it is shown that there is a pale golden energy gauge displayed in the armor status bar in the corner of the screen. Every time he activates the Allen system to put Batman into a bokeh penetration state of invincibility frames, the energy gauge will slide rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
However, when this mode is removed, the slot will also recharge at a slow rate.
And the longer the atom oscillation effect is maintained, the speed of this groove off will also be accelerated, and the amplitude will be very fast. This meant that he couldn't keep it on all the time, unless he wanted to drain the power out of Allen's system in one go.
"On Friday, I came in." Chu Cheng said.
"The energy signal radiation of the evidence is at its peak, and I think we've found the right place, sir."
"Wait, I think I saw it."
Chu Cheng had just activated the detective mode when he spoke. The pitch-black room was lit up in Batman's eyepiece, and Chu Cheng saw what was at the end of the room at a glance.
Something resembling a display table, rising from the ground and standing abruptly in the middle of the space.
The object they had been looking for, the object of unknown meaning labeled A-086, was being inserted in the center at this time.
"Friday, did you see that?"
"Yes, sir, clearly." Friday said, "The radiation source has been identified, and the target object has been identified as Missing Exhibit A-086 from Special Service 9." Its radiant intensity continues to rise. ”
When Batman stepped forward, Chu Cheng had already remembered a certain name for the phantoms of the dead.
Key.
Now that he was faced with the evidence that appeared in front of him, he began to feel that the description was quite vivid. Because it does look like a key.
The notch on that table is its keyhole, and the shape of the notch fits its pattern perfectly. Half of the exhibit was inserted into the keyhole.
"The increase in radiation intensity is coming from underground." Friday said, "This piece of evidence is the key to unlocking something." From the moment it was inserted into the device, something in the ruins was awakening. ”
"The sword that unlocked the seal of the ancient demon god, right? I've heard this story......
...... Wait a minute. ”
Batman stopped.
Chu Cheng quickly turned his perspective and found that a humanoid shadow suddenly appeared in a certain direction within the scanning range of the detective mode.
"Acquiring enemy imagery."
As Friday spoke, the image of the figure had been magnified, and the lock frame for recognition stopped at the person's face.
"Facial recognition confirms identity as ......"
"Leng Ji." Chu Cheng had already answered.
It's this guy again. This time, Chu Cheng was extremely sure that he had seen this guy breathe with his own eyes—and twice.
"Sir?" Friday's tone was a little odd, "Like...... It's more than that. ”
Chu Cheng also quickly realized what she was referring to.
More shadows are emerging, one after another entering the night vision area of Detective Mode. They appeared from the front, back, left, right, and right, from almost all angles and directions, and their standing positions seemed to be woven into a huge encirclement network.
Even in the direction they came in, the direction of the door had been blocked.
"Friday? ...... all of this? ”
"Yes, sir. Although there are subtle differences in each individual, based on facial recognition imagery...... All of them are cold and cold. ”
"Excellent." Chu Cheng moved his finger, "It looks like you've stabbed the clone nest." ”
"Batman."
Leng Ji spoke—everyone was.
Each syllable of them fell on the same beat, and countless identical voices overlapped, and it felt like the whole room was filled with stereoscopic sound, and one person was speaking into the microphone through all the speakers.
"Third round." All Leng Ji said in unison, "This time, you have no chance. ”
God has no chance. Chu Chengxin said that it was the first time I saw a group fight and a high-sounding guy like this, phew, it's really shameless.
He didn't hesitate and had already operated Batman to launch an attack.
The number of enemies is staggering, and if you are passively beaten, the difficulty coefficient will increase by a large margin.
Countless tentacles shot in, dense and fast, leaving no room to dodge at all.
But Batman doesn't need a flash either. The Allen system activated in a moment, and a brief atomic concussion allowed him to penetrate directly through all the tentacles.
During this time, he raised his hand and threw a device. The two Leng Ji rolled on the spot to dodge, but the Leng Ji in the middle was retracting his tentacles and dodged a little late, and the thing exploded in his face with a snap, bursting out a brilliant ice flower.
The Freeze Grenade, as you can tell from the name, is an outfit sponsored by an enthusiastic fan of Gotham. Batman borrowed the technology of the Freeze Man and modified it into a portable grenade, which can deal a small area of cryogenic AOE damage, instantly freezing the target that hits.
Leng Ji's body, which was hit head-on, instantly froze, like a delicate ice sculpture.
At this point, Batman had rushed between them. Their bodies affect each other's tentacles' movements, and Batman, in turn, uses their numerical advantage to limit the tentacles' attacks, and the effect is similar to the tactics of Leng Ji's single-brush Nine Operations Team.
The power of the power armor's amplified fist shattered a jaw, and the high-voltage electricity temporarily knocked Leng Ji back. At the same time, Batman hit the heart of the person behind him with a dragon tail swing kick, and kicked him back.
But then a tentacle wrapped around his ankle before he could close his leg, and his arm was hugged by one person. At the same time, Batman waved his palm, causing Qiao Jin to deflect another Leng Ji's fist into his teammate's face, but his wrist was also grabbed.
"Allen's system activates."
The atoms oscillated, and Batman's whole body blurred into an afterimage. The tentacles instantly rolled into the air, and the two Leng Ji who were holding his hands grabbed the air at the same time.
He rolled on the spot and quickly broke away from the unfavorable position. The three bombs exploded in different Leng Ji's chests, and the impact flames tore apart their armored skin, blasting the huddled Leng Ji out in different directions, sending tons of output out like literal fish.
The Allen system's power trough fell below halfway.
"More cold discipline is entering the battle from all sides." Friday said, "Also, I just scanned the room structure, sir." The ground where we are is is empty, and there seems to be something hidden underneath.
My suggestion is to go down and have a look, figure out the situation and restore the power while we can discuss tactical planning. ”
"Good idea."
Several Leng Ji next to him rushed towards Batman's location. But at the same second, Allen's system activates again, and Batman once again vibrates into a gray-black blurred afterimage. His existence seemed to disappear from the material world in an instant, and his body was like a holographic projection without mass, and the whole person fell directly through the ground.
Several Leng Ji pounced in unison, and their sprinting bodies crashed into a ball. When they looked closely, all they could see was a light blue grenade with a bat's mark on it.
Rumble!
The ice flowers exploded, and the low temperature instantly froze these people into ice sculptures.
Batman penetrates the ground and falls into free fall. The moment Allen's system was disarmed, the cloak behind his back had been opened, helping him glide and land on the ground.
Another open room, the dome was seven or eight meters above the ground, empty and empty.
Detective mode vision is activated again. Chu Cheng looked around, but was stunned the moment he saw the only thing in the entire room.
He saw a man.
A naked man, arms outstretched, hung limply on a device like Jesus on the cross, head hanging limply to one side.
It's cold again.
