Chapter 11: Where is he?
"Meow woo-" (boring, I want to see a river of blood!) Kill everyone who wants to kill you, that's what the Red Lantern Legion does! ๏ผ
Lingxing used the cutest cry to actually say the most cruel words.
But this can only be heard by Red, who has a red light ring with the function of a cosmic translator, and in Gordon's eyes, the little cat in Red's arms is like a coquette.
"Several of them will be kept in tighter cells, and I'll personally investigate who instructed them and who equipped Mr. Freeze......"
Gordon paused, then said to Red, who was meditating in the tree with the cat cross-legged with his legs in his arms.
"You've done a great job, Red, with maximum restraint."
To be honest, when Gordon heard the news of Arkham's accident, he immediately felt a sigh in his heart, he knew very well that if Red went out of control again, no one could stop him this time, and he was afraid that it would cause even more damage than before.
However, when he led the team to Arkham, he found Red sitting quietly petting the cat, and the few people who fought him were only injured - although the mud face was blown to pieces, he could still recover if he was given enough time.
This made him a little different from Red.
"Gordon, you're honest enough to answer my question."
Red raised his head, his red eyes burning at the old director.
"Black Mask...... Is he alive? โ
Gordon was stunned for a moment, then hesitated for a moment, and then said slowly in a deep voice.
"Black Mask has been killed by your own hands, you should know better than anyone else-"
"Are you sure? Was his body recovered by GCPD? Did you make the autopsy report? โ
Red aggressively pursued Gordon, who first dodged his gaze in embarrassment, and finally sighed softly.
"Well, it's true that the body of the Black Mask disappeared on the way back to GCPD...... But I can assure you that he's absolutely dead, and I don't know how you did it, but he's almost all charred from the skin down, and there's no chance of survival! โ
The problem is that in the DC world, even if there are only ashes left, you can't be considered dead.
Red closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and then stood up, Gordon immediately grabbing his arm with some nervousness.
"What do you want, don't be impulsive."
"It's nothing, I'm tired, go back to my cell...... Sleep in the ward first. โ
โโ
In the surveillance room of the Arkham Asylum.
Gordon took a sip of his hot coffee, his eyes fixed on a surveillance image on the screen behind the lenses that were thicker than the bottom of the bottle.
The surveillance footage shows just an ordinary hospital room, a man sleeping soundly in bed, but Gordon doesn't seem to take his eyes off for even a minute.
At this time, he heard the sound of the door opening.
"I said, I'm here to take over today, and I don't need anyone elseโyou?"
Gordon turned his head to see that it was a tall young man, dressed in a black leotard with a blue bird-shaped emblem on his chest.
"So it's him...... Did this man hurt Batman? โ
"Well, how is he doing now, Nightwing?"
Nightwing is Batman's first Robin, the code name used by Dick Grayson after he left Batman to go solo, and he and Gordon have known each other almost as long as Batman, so they are already very familiar with each other.
"There is no danger to life...... But when it will wake up is unknown. I've discussed with Red Robin that it's possible that he's using some kind of South American martial art, Turtle Breath, to repair the damage caused by blood loss by putting himself into hibernation, but that also means that if his body hasn't recovered to a certain extent...... will continue to sleep. โ
Nightwing sat down next to Gordon and looked at the man on the screen with a somewhat complicated gaze.
"Don't worry too much, with my experience of knowing him for so many years, as long as Gotham is still guilty for a day, he will crawl out even if he is buried underground."
Gordon patted Nightwing on the shoulder to comfort him, but the latter's expression looked more and more solemn.
"If you hate him, I can understand that. But if you want revenge, I think it's ........"
"No, I think this man ...... It feels too ordinary to me, is it really him who defeated Batman? โ
Nightwing's instincts are not unfounded, he has served as the leader of the Young Titans, and he has seen many powerful superhumans, and his years of experience have given him a keen instinct for the danger of his enemies.
Gordon shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile.
"I think the same way, I can only say that he is deeply hidden. Can you imagine a man who slaughtered dozens of Black Mask's subordinates and defeated Batman to be inseparable from a kitten all day long......"
"What about cats?"
Nightwing frowned, and at the same time immediately started to operate on the monitoring equipment, magnifying the surveillance image while moving the angle of the surveillance camera, scanning the entire ward.
"How big is that cat and what does it look like? How I can't find it. โ
"No...... Cats aren't the point, I'm just trying to say โ huh? โ
Gordon picked up his phone and glanced at it, his face immediately changed drastically, and he stood up suddenly.
"Poison ivy, killer crocodile, and Mr. Freeze escaped en masse when they were transferred to the hospital for treatment, they escaped into the sewers and then Mr. Freeze blocked the back road, and the GCPD agents could not pursue."
"Where's the mud face?"
In Nightwing's urging eyes, Gordon immediately dialed the phone and said a few nervous words, and after a few moments his face turned pale, and the phone slipped out of his hand with a snap.
"Mudface...... GCPD doesn't recycle mud faces at all, it's just a pile of dry mud โ the mud faces are gone from the beginning! โ
"No, Mudface has been found, the problem is-"
Nightwing turns to look at the sleeping "Red Douglas" on the surveillance footage.
"Where the hell did he go?"
โโ
"Meow~" (The Red Lantern Legion should be a tooth for a tooth, why cooperate with someone who wants to kill you?) ๏ผ
"For the greater good - just kidding. I'm not a murderer either, a few of them were obviously calculated to send me to death, maybe to aggravate my crime, maybe to probe my abilities, killing them is not even a vent of anger. โ
Red scratched the chin of the Spirit Star on his shoulder, and stepped on the wet ground in the dark corridor.
"And sparing their lives and letting them lead the way is a more rational solution."
"Meow~" (The Red Lantern Corps doesn't need to be rational.) ๏ผ
This is Gotham's sewers, which connect the entire city's underground like a spider's web, and even Batman, who has mastered the city's sewer structure, can get lost.
To navigate this labyrinth, you'll need someone who has lived here for a long time as a guide โ such as the killer crocodile who is now walking in front of Red.
And next to the killer crocodile, Poison Ivy and Mr. Freeze walk side by side with him.
"Is that guy talking to a cat? He can't really be mentally ill. โ
Poison Ivy muttered quietly, but Red could hear it clearly in the silence of the sewers, but he just smiled disapprovingly.
"Maybe I'm really crazy, I know it's definitely a trap and still step into it......"
At this time, Red's eyes lit up with a dangerous red light, like two burning flames in the dark sewers.
"But even if it's just the slightest possibility, I'll make sure that my revenge is foolproof."
