"Oh my God, this is a massacre."

Gordon rushed back to his home with a group of police officers, the chief had seen the destructive power of Mason firsthand, but the other officers were startled as soon as they arrived on the street.

The entire neighborhood was cut off from electricity.

On the street in front of the house lay a group of knocked out Penguin gangsters, with three headshot corpses and three unlucky people who were hit by a car and died.

The backyard is even more incredible.

The corpses of more than 20 men in black who died in a miserable state made several young police officers vomit directly, and even the old police detectives who have been in the ghost place of Gotham for many years can't stand it.

They got together to talk about the slaughterhouse-like theater massacre when the clown first came to power.

Although Gotham has been struggling with security over the years, it has been a long time since Arkham Asylum has more and more residents, and Batman's continuous high-intensity night watch has not seen such a vicious shooting.

"Director, we found six strange headless stone sculptures in the alley opposite."

A policewoman with a pale face ran over and reported to Gordon, who was standing silently smoking a cigarette at the gate of the courtyard, and the director waved his hand, rubbed his forehead very tiredly and said:

"Move back to the Evidence Section, maybe that's the evidence. You're busy here, I'm going to see my daughter, she's definitely terrified. ”

Several of the other detectives nodded, and they looked at their chief with a look of pity.

The detectives were aware of the tragedy that had happened to Barbara Gordon in the early years, so no one stopped the commissioner at this time.

Because there were also bodies in the house, Barbara and Mason were moved to a neighbor's house next to them, which was also a backup safe house for the police department.

The kind that is uninhabited all year round.

When the director pushed the door in, he was greeted by a strangely shaped stone sculpture in a dark living room, the guy was wearing a full bat suit, but the face was not the one that Gordon was familiar with.

The director was even more tired.

He turned on his flashlight and made a difference, spat out the smoke ring, and said:

"Dick Grayson... You stinky boy stole my daughter's heart, and you still have the guts to come back? ”

"Daddy, come and help! We need lighting. ”

Barbara, who was in a wheelchair, heard the movement and pushed the door, and called her father into the kitchen, where Director Gordon smelled a very bad smell.

As a result, he swept forward with a flashlight, and found that Mason Cooper's little bastard who had just slaughtered more than thirty people was standing in front of the table and cutting something strange.

He also had a lit alcohol lamp and a strange liquid that was constantly grilled on top of the flame, and from which the unpleasant smell emanated.

"What is this doing?"

Director Gordon said expressionlessly:

"Celebrate Mason's success in blowing out thirty people's heads tonight, so do you want to cook it yourself?"

"Shh

Before Mason could speak, Barbara, who was looking at Mason's busy with black-rimmed glasses with a curious expression, first raised her finger to silence her complaining father.

She explained in a whisper:

"Mason is preparing the antidote to the petrified potion, the alchemy he learned from the dark wizard who had taken him captive, and this is the first time he's trying to do it.

Dad, don't make a mess. ”

"He also knows alchemy?"

Director Gordon was originally asking about the guilt, and his eyes widened when he heard this.

Although he has been a police officer in Gotham for many years, this kind of thing that sounds magical still makes the old man a little curious.

He lit Mason with a flashlight, and found that the young man was silently reciting a certain process, chopping some kind of shriveled ginseng-like paper in his hand with a kitchen knife and grinding it into a bowl, and when the strangely colored and unpleasant decoction boiled on the alcohol lamp, he stirred it with a crystal rod and sprinkled the powder into it.

"Boom"

A purple cloud mixed with sparks erupted from the small bowl, startling Director Gordon and Barbara, and the unpleasant smell of the kitchen suddenly changed to a kind of smoke with an aroma of herbs.

Gordon sniffed it, and immediately felt a tired spirit.

"Thirty more seconds will be enough."

Mason stirred the liquid in the small bowl that was constantly heated with a crystal rod for alchemy, and said to Barbara:

"It's a pity I don't have a dedicated Mithril Cauldron on hand, otherwise it wouldn't have lasted so long. Mandrake Resurrection Elixir is the simplest alchemy item, and as long as there are raw materials, few people will fail to boil them. ”

"It's amazing, I've never seen anything like it in a batcave."

The former bat girl pushed her glasses with great interest, and she said:

"What else would you do but petrify and de-petrify people?"

"Well, I haven't learned much, but I have the old wizard's alchemy notes in my hand."

Mason blinked, taking the opportunity to rationalize his alchemy skills, and said:

"In the future, when I have time, I can try to prepare more potions, I remember that there was a 'beauty potion' in that note, which was said to keep ladies young forever and make their skin tender and watery."

"Well, I like this."

Barbara's eyes lit up and she said:

"I want to order ten bottles!"

"I don't think you need to."

Mason glanced at her and whispered:

"You're pretty enough."

"It's not needed now, but it's hard to say later. You see I've been in a wheelchair for a long time and I've been lacking in exercise, so I'm sure my skin will get worse, and I've been feeling like my hair has lost its luster lately.

Hey, can you do some magic diet pills or something.

I feel like I've got fat in my belly, and I have enlarged breasts... Ahem, we'll talk about this in private later. ”

Barbara Gordon is only a girl in her twenties, no matter how rich she is, and the pursuit of beauty is their instinct.

But seeing that her father was already frowning, she immediately stopped talking, and urged Mason to take the boiled medicine to save her boyfriend who had capsized in the gutter.

"Successfully complete a standard craft, alchemy artifact crafting, and improve the proficiency of alchemy skills."

Mason saw the light curtain pop up in front of him, and he knew that the potion was boiled.

He took off the hot bowl with his barbecue gloves, strained the residue and handed Barbara the strange-colored potion, saying:

"Pour it on his head, don't try to feed him, drinking water in a petrified state will choke him to death."

"Oh."

Barbara pushes the wheelchair out of the kitchen with the potion while Mason cleans up the stuff in place, mandrake residue is harmful to the human body and must be professionally disposed of before it can be discarded.

Director Gordon also stays here.

After his daughter left, he lit a cigarette and said to Mason:

"You've gone a little too far tonight, I mean you got blood all over my house, did you mean it? Mason, politely decline my invitation in this way? ”

"I just want you to see for yourself how dangerous I am, Gordon, and I swear I mean nothing else."

Mason shook the residue in his hand with a special jar and shook it as he turned around and said:

"I thank you and Barbara for your kindness, but as you can see, I can't get near you who have kind intentions to me until this is over, and please don't put me on my back.

I'd go to my former friend and he'd help me find a place to stay.

You've seen for yourself that I've shown myself to be able to protect myself in Gotham. ”

Director Gordon frowned and smoked in silence, Mason did not disturb his thoughts, and when a cigarette was finished, the Director looked up and said:

"Okay, I won't stop you. But you have to sign that guardianship paper, come back at least once a week, even if it's just for show, and contact me immediately if you're in trouble.

Can you do it? ”

"I'll sign it."

Mason glanced at Gordon, he didn't refute or make any more conditions, getting Gordon to allow him to move out was already a big victory, and then he just had to contact the kite man to find a place to stay.

Speaking of kite people...

"Uh, Gordon, my friend is in some trouble right now, and I'd like to consult with you."

Mason tossed the can that he had shaken at least a hundred times in his hand into the trash, and as he washed his hands, he whispered:

"Do you know 'Kite Man'?"

"Charles Brown?"

Gordon is worthy of being the chief of police, and he knows a lot about the villains in the city, and he immediately reacted when Mason mentioned the nickname, and said with a strange look in his eyes:

"That guy used to work with the clown, but then the clown broke down and he had nowhere to go, so he went to rob the bakery and was sent to prison by my own hands.

Is he your friend?

All right.

He's not incorrigibly bad, but Kite Man escaped from prison some time ago. ”

"It was just that he wanted to meet his son."

Mason explains:

"If Charles wants to end his lawsuit..."

"Just go to the police station and pay a security deposit."

Gordon shook his head and said:

"How much of a sin can he be for just robbing the bakery? In fact, Charles could have been released from prison a long time ago, he just kept making small mistakes and eating delicious prison meals in Black Gate Prison, and he was afraid of going out and being sought revenge by the clown gang, so he hid there.

He's just like you, a 'gangster traitor'.

You have to be careful with him, although the Clown Gang has collapsed, that madman still has some diehards roaming the city, and the Kite Man is their target. ”

"Okay, I'll tell him, Gordon."

Mason finally put his mind at ease.

He went out of the kitchen to check on Dick Grayson, where Gordon remained, and after Mason left, Gordon lit another cigarette, took his cell phone out of his arms and dialed a number.

A few seconds later, the hoarse voice of the real master sounded in the mobile phone:

"Gordon, I'm busy."

"I'm just telling you, Mason killed thirty more League of Assassins killers tonight to protect my daughter, but those Assasin are staring at him, and he's moving out."

Director Gordon whispered:

"Also, your 'retired Robin' was captured by him with a strange potion, and he learned a lot of strange skills from the dark wizard who took him captive."

"Let him go."

The old man said in a short tone:

"As soon as this is over, I will rush back as soon as possible. Gordon, you didn't tell Mason about that, did you? ”

"Not yet."

The director sighed, rubbed his face and said tiredly:

"But he'll find out sooner or later, this kid is very alert."

"I'm speeding up my investigation into the secrets behind Mason's background."

The lord said:

"When I have eyebrows, I'll pick a time to tell him that you have to watch him and don't let him run around, it's very important."

---

"Ahh

The wizard's notes say that being petrified feels pretty bad.

It is said that just like when a body dies and a soul is sealed, it can feel everything around it but cannot react.

Seconds after Barbara Gordon poured the potion down Dick Grayson's head, the petrified state of the "retired Robin" quickly dissolved.

As the stone chips flew all over the ground, the dashing and handsome guy fell to the ground in an embarrassed posture.

He breathed as hard as a fish out of water, and it took him a moment to calm himself down.

"Great, Grayson."

Barbara cheered, reached out and pulled her boyfriend up from the ground, remembering Mason's complaint before, and quietly glanced at her boyfriend's buttocks.

Hey~ It's really warped!

No wonder Mason can tell at a glance that it is not Batman himself.

"You guy..."

The original RobinDick Grayson, nicknamed "Nightwing", saw Mason staring at him on the table next to him.

He was very unhappy to pick up the bat helmet handed by Barbara and buckle it on his head, and used the built-in bat voice to make his voice exactly the same hoarse as the original master.

Say to Mason:

"Shameless sneak attack!"

"Sneak attack, of course! I'm no match for you, Mr. Nightwing. ”

With his arms folded and his low-key but deadly crit shotgun at his lap, Sujay's Eagle was tossed back into his belt, and he looked at Nightwing with some chagrin and said:

"So, isn't Batman looking for you back in Gotham? What can I do if Brughhaven is in dire straits, and you are a big hero? ”

"You're kidding, aren't you?"

Grayson waved his hand angrily.

But he has always been an open-minded and gentle person, and the resentment in his heart quickly dissipated under the soft persuasion of his girlfriend Barbara.

While he said a few words of love to Barbara, he looked back at Mason and said in a serious tone:

"I didn't just come here tonight because I saw Barbara's distress signal, Mason Cooper, there's something very important I want to check with you."

As he spoke, the "bat boy" took out something Mason was familiar with from his multi-purpose belt.

It was the sword-shaped hard drive that Catwoman had stolen from the Penguin a week ago, and Nightwing handed it to Mason, saying very seriously:

"I ask you, you didn't try to copy the information on this hard drive in the short time before you got it from Catwoman and handed it over to Batman, did you?"

"I was going to drive and I was going to shoot."

Mason frowned and said:

"I only have two hands, so of course I don't. What's wrong with this hard drive? ”

"The information inside is automatically destroyed."

Nightwing said in annoyance:

"Batman commissioned me to track this before leaving, but as soon as I opened it on my batcomputer, the messages set off a security alert.

This only happens when internal information is copied or transferred, so I suspect that the drive was in the auto-destruct process before it was sent to Batman. ”

"Then you should go to Catwoman."

Mason narrowed his eyes and said:

"She's the one most likely to do this, where is she?"

"She slipped away."

Nightwing rubbed his forehead with a headache and made a move that Batman would never do.

He said:

"Thirty minutes after Batman left Gotham, she slipped away from the Batcave, and I'm here to ask, have you been in contact with Catwoman since you returned to Gotham?"

"I don't even have a cell phone."

The young man shook his head and gave an irrefutable reason.

Nightwing fell silent for a moment.

After a few seconds, he handed the sword-shaped hard drive to his girlfriend and said:

"Then it's up to you, Barbara, to try to see what's left on this hard drive with the astonishing hacking techniques of Your Excellency 'Oracle'.

As for you, Mason. ”

He said to the young people:

"We need to find Catwoman as soon as possible and make sure the information on the hard drive is in her hands.

I've learned from other sources that the League of Assassins and the Penguins are the same reason why they want to catch you.

The message that could have been taken by Catwoman contains secrets they don't want people to know, and more importantly, the same people who attacked you are tracking her. ”

Dashao paused and held out his hand towards Mason.

He whispered:

"Let's go to her together, this matter is over, and you should never really start a new life."

"Okay."

Mason thought for a moment, happily reached out and patted Da Shao's hand, and said:

"I just want to see that big sister again."
