"Boss! Boss, how are you? Don't die, hey! ”

Bruised by the King of Assassins, his face was swollen and bloodied, and the Kite Man grabbed the hook and lifted Mason from the air to the roof, and he looked at the black serpentine knife stuck in the chest of Mason's suit and suddenly felt a little numb.

Don't dare to pull it out directly.

He could only pull out his own ration of healing potions and pour them into Mason's mouth.

But the young man didn't have to worry about his life, and Lei Xiaogu's final blow did pierce his heart, but before he died, he held the cursed gold coin, locked the life force, and poured a tube of unicorn blood into Mason to save his life.

He's just weak when healed now.

"Don't shake it! Shake it again and you're really dead! ”

Mason complained to the Kite Man's delight, and at Mason's instructions, he grabbed the alien knife with both hands and took a few deep breaths before pulling it out violently.

The blood spurting from the wound startled Charles, but it quickly stopped.

Mason gritted his teeth and gave himself an emergency first aid, so as not to waste this opportunity to brush up on first aid proficiency.

He kept adjusting his breathing, watching the [near-death] state of the character card on the light screen in front of him turn into [Serious Injury], and then become [Minor Injury] after a break of more than ten seconds.

This made him sigh at the magic of unicorn blood.

Of course, this legendary artifact is not just repairing injuries, Mason can also feel his life force being strengthened, but this process takes time to take effect.

It's a pity that the umbilical cord blood of the unicorn in his hand is too little, and he can't give a bottle to one of his teammates.

"Go pick up the corpse!"

Mason gasped and sat up, slitting his palm and letting the Cursed Gold Fall back into the coin box to remove the curse, pointing to the pile of ashes left by the King of Assassins in front of the launch pad to the Kite Man, and instructed:

"Then hurry to the warehouse of Wayne Industries Medical and take advantage of the chaos to get all the vaccines we need, the more the better. Now is the perfect time for no one to notice your actions.

It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"Are you sure you're here alone, boss?"

The Kite Man was also a little worried about Mason's condition.

After all, the heart was broken just now, this is a fatal wound no matter how you look at it, the young man shook his head, wiped the blood from his face, pulled out the revolver from his waist, reloaded it with bullets, and threw a reassuring look at Charles.

The latter acted immediately, and without looking closely, he rolled up the robe left by Lei Xiaogu and threw it into his bag, along with all kinds of bits and pieces, and then ran a few steps and leaped down.

Flying into the darkness of the night in front of the fire of the Arkham Asylum, which had already caught fire, it disappeared.

Mason, who had been left where he was, looked around with a gun.

He saw Catwoman fighting to the death with Talia, and he also saw Batman on the eaves struggling to get up, and tonight's matter should be over here.

"Bang"

The sound of a crisp gunshot came from the other side of the roof interrupted Mason's thoughts, and he saw a cloud of blood explode in front of Batman.

Grabbing a grenade from behind and trying to sneak up on the master, one of the Arkham prisoners was shot in the head, and his miserable body fell into the flames below.

The Scarlet Knight tossed aside the high-tech rifle with the magazine empty, and he limped away with the nightwing he had knocked out himself, limping away from the samurai in front of him.

The cracked helmet was raised, and he looked at Batman kneeling on the eaves.

He shouted:

"Come here! Or I'll kill him!" ”

"Who are you going to kill?"

The old man asked in a dumb voice:

"You're going to kill your brother? Jason, that's enough! Stop it. ”

"No, of course not! Dick was just a witness to tonight. ”

The Scarlet Knight tossed Nightwing aside.

He threw out his throwing knife and cut the rope of the guy hanging higher, causing the hooded creature to fall at his feet.

The Scarlet Knight, whose armor was scattered by Nightwing, pulled out a black pistol and held it against the guy's head, tearing the strip of cloth off his mouth.

He shouted to Bruce Wayne:

"I'll kill Zhou Ke'er! Right in front of you, Batman! Unless you can stop me. ”

"Ah~Batman~ Mighty Batman! Come and save me! You see I'm going to be killed, I'm so scared! Come and save me, okay? ”

The clown, who had been hanging in the air for nearly ten hours, would kneel on the ground, his whole body trembling with excitement, and his face was painted with colorful colors, and he was wearing a messy set of clothes.

But he didn't care about the muzzle in the back of his head and his weak body.

He didn't even care about the death that lay before him.

He just stared at Batman slowly getting up in front of him with wide eyes, like a super fan meeting a super idol.

He whistled and cried out with his eyes shining:

"Stop this madman! Batman, you're the only one who can save me! ”

"Shut up!"

The Scarlet Knight's furious butt struck the clown in the head, knocking him to the ground and his face covered in blood, but instead of crying out in pain, the madman lay on the ground and let out a heart-wrenching laugh.

It seems that this scene in front of him is a wonderful turn of the story that Zhou Keer has been looking forward to, and that surprised expression is like the moment he has been waiting for all his life is finally coming.

And in order to complete this miraculous twist, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his mad life that would end sooner or later.

"Jason, stop!"

The old man's figure glided down from the high eaves, just in front of the Scarlet Knight and the Joker.

The sea of fire that burned everywhere became the tragic background of this scene.

The cacophony of the black-clad warriors who were evacuating from the various vine monsters summoned by Poison Ivy and the Arkham neurotics coming from below served as the harsh soundtrack to the scene.

Nightwing, who had been left aside, was still awake.

He tried very hard to get up and stop his brother from doing something stupid.

But the furious Jason was really ruthless, and he also learned some vicious techniques from the Assassin League, so that he was paralyzed at this time and could only witness everything in front of him.

Then, the struggling young man saw Mason on the other side of the roof who was hiding by the launch pad with a gun in his hand, watching the excitement of flying.

"Mason! Help! ”

He cried out in pain in the comms.

"Don't worry, let's see what they say."

Mason said in a weak and slow tone:

"It's between Jason Todd and Bruce Wayne, and you've shown me the consequences of getting involved, and I don't want to be beaten up.

Besides, those grudges buried in the heart need to be spoken, Grayson, just like Barbara.

If you don't let them make these things clear at this time, and let those dark pains ferment in time, you will only get a jar of poisonous wine.

The next time it erupts again, it won't just hurt these two people.

Be patient!

I'll do it before it's irreparable. ”

"Jason, put down the gun!"

The old man's breastplate still had the shards of the finger of the King of Assassins, like the miserable marks left by a counter-weapon bullet.

But he didn't care about the residual pain and weakness on his body, but quietly held the batrang on his waist under the cover of his cloak, and at the same time scolded the scarlet knight, who was a little out of control:

"The clown has toxins in his body! Whoever kills him will be infected and become the next clown. I know you want revenge, but not this way! ”

"Why not?"

The Scarlet Knight's very high-tech round helmet was covered with cracks, so that the optical occlusion failed, and even the young and distorted face in the helmet could be faintly seen.

He grabbed the laughing clown from the ground, put a gun to the back of his head and shouted:

"He killed me! A year and a half ago in that damn warehouse, he tricked me there with my own mother as bait, and he was going to use me to leave you a 'gift' that will last a lifetime.

That blood-stained crowbar."

"Well, little Jason, although your speech is sad, I still have to correct your mistake."

The kidnapped Zhou Ke'er grinned a malicious smile on his blood-covered face.

He shouted:

"It's not me who used your mom as bait, it's the great woman who tried to save innocent children under my bombs who took the initiative to sell you to me.

Woohoo, at that time she didn't know that you were her biological son who was lost back then.

For the sake of the lives of the little mongrels she treated, she willingly sold her son to me! Hmm, I hit you on the head with a crowbar. Well, after about a hundred or so bombs on you who lost your breath, I told her the secret.

Her heart-rending screams at that time were so pleasant. ”

The clown tilted his head as if in some thought, and after a second, he asked, puzzled:

"Have you ever gone to your mother after you were revived by the Assasins? Is she still alive? That's a great lady. I'm thinking about sending her a greeting card or something this Christmas. ”

"Bang"

The answer to the clown was a scorching bullet.

Shot from Jason's muzzle and shot into the clown's thigh, causing Zhou Keer to scream in the blood splash, but it was more like some kind of means used to "set off the atmosphere".

After screaming, the madman burst into laughter again.

His bloodied face lifted.

The brighter and brighter eyes stared at the silent Batman in front of him, and he shouted:

"You didn't save him! Batman! You lost that duel eighteen months ago, and you watched me kill your assistant, your second Robin.

I watched you pick him up from the rubble, covered in blood, and I thought you were going to break your ridiculous rules and send a bullet to my eye.

I even wrote a suicide note in advance!

But you nasty didn't do that, and the preparation you made me do was all in vain! It was so disappointing, I think it was one of the biggest failures of my life.

But guess what? ”

Zhou Ke'er laughed madly.

It was clear that he was being held hostage by the Scarlet Knight, but at the moment, it looked like this bastard was in control of everything.

His face was covered with blood and he cried out bitterly:

"Who would have thought that there would be another episode of this! When I saw an angry Jason Todd appear in my comfort room, you never guessed how surprised I was.

This sweet kid crawled back from death to seek revenge on me, and I knew that the game between us was finally coming to an end.

Come on, Batboy!

Try again!

Try again to get Jason Todd back from me!

But this time it wasn't just his life!

You know, this time we're betting on his soul struggling in the abyss! ”

"Shut up! Shut up!!! ”

Jason swung his gun again and struck the Joker in the forehead.

The sound of oozing bones cracking interrupted the Joker's wild laughter, and the Scarlet Knight removed his torn helmet and threw it on the ground. The appearance of the black-haired, black-eyed emaciated cheeks in the bleak night also made Mason, who had been watching this scene, frown slightly.

It's no wonder everyone he meets is saying he's a lot like Jason Todd.

It turns out that they don't just mean style.

He did have some similarities with Jason, but his eyes were bigger than the crazy Scarlet Knight, and his overall lines were a little more handsome.

"You left me there!"

Jason roared like a raging beast at the silent Batman:

"You threw me into that cold coffin! Cover my life with dark dirt, and you let the Assassins steal me! They threw me into that devilish pool. They make my confused mind follow their consciousness!

But I can bear it, Batman.

I can bear it!

The pains that don't kill me will only get stronger! I got through it, I became one of them and just wanted to come back here and tell you the good news!

But what do you do to me! ”

His roar grew louder and louder, as if it resounded through the sky.

He shouted:

"You didn't punish the clown at all!

Even after he killed me, even after he did something like that to Barbara. I'm sorry I cheated on Barbara, but I know she's willing to help me because she has the same resentment in her heart as I do.

You always do, Batman.

You've always taken the hellish rules above all else!

Lei Xiaogu's words are right.

He said that being Batman has a price and he says we are your price. Did you hear that? We are your price! ”

"Not really, Jason."

Nightwing, who lay there, struggled, and cried out with effort and sorrow:

"Don't think so, Jason, don't let those vicious assassins disturb you! You're Robin too, and you know that the pain isn't just for him! ”

"I'm not Robin anymore!"

Jason turned his head to look at his former brother, his eyes red and he said:

"Less than two months after I died, he had a new Robin, didn't he? I thought I was important to him, I thought I was family. I thought my loss would make him grieve for me.

But as it turned out, he didn't!

He just found another child he had bewitched to take my place.

It turns out that I am nothing

You too!

He bewitched us with a great ideal, he trained us to be his assistants and sacrificed us to Batman's great cause.

Me, Barbara, and you

We will all be sacrifices to Batman. ”

"Huh"

"Bang"

Just as Jason turned his head and was attracted to Dashao's attention, the batrang and bullets flew out at the same time.

The batrang thrown by the old man jammed into the trigger of Jason Todd's pistol, causing the Scarlet Knight to pull the trigger but unable to shoot the bullet that blew the clown's head.

But the silent Mason made up for it.

As Batman pounces Jason like a ghost and pulls Nightwing away from the Joker, the chest of the fanatic maniac with his face painted on his face explodes.

Under Mason's calm, almost indifferent gaze, the blood-splattered clown fell to the ground. As the scorching bullet casings fell to the ground, the vicious poisonous gas exploded from Zhou Ke'er's body and spread rapidly outward in the splattering blood.

This is the last "joke" that the madman left for the world.

The special clown gas is flying around like its villain owner, trying to find the next unlucky guy and turn him into a clown-like madman.

But when those poisonous gases spread all around and were about to cover Da Shao's body, Mason who got up threw several bottles of antidote to suppress those poisonous gases.

Until the last moment, Zhou Keer, who was shot in the head, still had that trademark chaotic smile on the corner of his mouth, but his dimmed eyes were full of unhappiness.

"Boring. True. Spoiled"

These were his last words.

The five bullets that flew in from then shattered his nasty face in the night.

Mason emptied the bullets from the cannon, turning the corpse into a disgusting mosaic, and threw an alchemical Molotov cocktail to make sure he couldn't be resurrected even by the hell.

The story about the Joker ended before Mason even began in his life.

Just like the Kite Man once warned Mason: shoot the Joker immediately when he encounters him, don't shoot him crookedly, and the whole world will thank Mason.

"Successfully completed a ranged weapon piercing and execution, and increased your shooting skill proficiency."

The prompt pops out of Mason's vision, making the young man who puts away his gun smile at ease.

He reached for a special jar of enchanted potions, dropped it next to the clown's corpse, and regathered the scattered poison gas in the jar.

Behind him, a furious Jason was battling Batman to the death, and the young man who had recovered from his paralysis staggered to his feet and tried to stop them.

Further afield, the duel between Talia and Selena is about to be decided.

It's time for the long night to come to an end.
