Chapter 246: Barnes Wandering In
"It's a deal!"
With a smile on Jerome's face, after saying this, the eyes of everyone present, including the camera, turned to the direction where Jerome was.
The officers and reporters at the scene had never seen a police chief go one-on-one with a criminal.
- Although Gordon is only the acting director at the moment.
But they weren't surprised to see it at the moment.
That's Jerome!
And the helicopter that was shot down by Jerome from the sky just now is enough to prove Jerome's strength.
From a rational point of view, Director Gordon's choice is indeed the most correct at present.
Can't force it!
What other people think, Gordon doesn't know, and he doesn't know how to read minds.
And now the two protagonists on the field have no heart to pay attention to what other people think.
Both focused their attention on each other.
Gordon put on a solemn look in the fight.
Jerome, on the other hand, stood very casually in place, looking at Gordon with a smile on his face.
What Gordon had the idea, Jerome could naturally guess in his heart.
As a matter of common sense, Gordon was right.
Even if it is a sniper in the army, when it comes to hand-to-hand combat ability, it must not be comparable to the assault in the army, after all, people's energy is limited, no one is omnipotent, and there must be a certain shortcoming.
However, Gordon's only mistake is that Jerome's "sniper" ability was not acquired through training.
Rather, it is obtained by loading the hero template.
In the positioning of the hero template, Kada Ember is indeed a ranged hero, and his melee ability is relatively weak.
But the problem is relatively ...... The target is other melee heroes, and compared to normal people, Kada Ember can crush with physical fitness alone!
Otherwise, when he was in the Rune Continent, how could he let the Equilibrium Sect pursue him for several years before arresting him?
After the two sides set up their positions, Gordon found an offensive idea from Jerome.
But Jerome put on a completely undefended appearance, full of flaws, which made it a little difficult for Gordon to attack, and he didn't know where to attack.
However, Gordon, as the heads-up king of Gotham, naturally cannot be stumped by such a simple one.
After observing for five seconds, Gordon gritted his teeth and attacked first!
Since there are flaws everywhere, let's try every flaw!
Maybe it's because I'm thinking too much? Jerome may really not be good at hand-to-hand combat!
Gordon gritted his teeth and took the initiative to attack.
But as soon as the two sides got into hand, Gordon realized that some of his guesses were wrong!
It's even a bit wrong!
Jerome is really not good at hand-to-hand combat!
Judging by Jerome's fighting ability against him, Jerome's fighting skills are not outstanding.
Although it is better than ordinary people, in terms of skills alone, it is far inferior to people like Gordon who have fought on the battlefield!
However, even so, it is almost impossible for Gordon to take Jerome!
Because as soon as the two sides met, Gordon clearly felt that Jerome's physical fitness was far beyond ordinary people!
Gordon did rely on his rich fighting experience to take advantage of the fights between the two sides.
However, when Gordon, with his rich combat experience, punched Jerome in the face, Gordon realized that something was wrong!
With the tactile sensation of the blow feedback from his hand, Gordon found that Jerome's face, or body, was much stronger than he had imagined!
A punch goes up, and the damage caused to Jerome is completely painless!
The expression on Jerome's face was even a little playful
Taste.
Gordon's heart sank.
Perhaps it may not be a good thing to ask Jerome to decide the outcome of this dispute on his own......
But at this point, there is no room for thought or repentance.
There is no turning back from the bow!
All Gordon can do now is continue to attack all parts of Jerome's body.
The only hope he had left was that maybe Jerome was just strong-skinned......
But as Gordon continued to attack Jerome, Gordon discovered that the truth would not change because of his wishes.
He does have a lot of experience in striking Jerome, but Jerome is as strong as he is in the skin.
Gordon now feels like he's hitting a stake with his bare hands.
There is no weakness at all, and it can't do any too effective damage!
And! And that's not all!
Gordon can also clearly feel that Jerome's melee combat ability is also rapidly improving!
The opponent's understanding of hand-to-hand combat shows an extremely unreasonable growth rate!
Actually, this is not surprising.
After all, Jerome is loaded with Kada Ash's hero template.
Although Kada Ember itself is not positioned as a melee hero, at the beginning of the Runeteres Continent, under the pursuit of the Balanced Sect, Kada Ember also honed his melee combat experience.
Now, thanks to Gordon's constant attacks, Jerome is absorbing these melee combat experiences little by little and integrating them.
Some pessimism gradually appeared in Gordon's mind.
After all, he couldn't deal too much damage to Jerome, and Jerome's melee combat experience was growing rapidly.
How does this work?
If this trend continues, there will be two outcomes.
One is that Gordon attacks Jerome and gradually exhausts himself.
The other is that Jerome's melee ability has grown to the point where he is stronger than Gordon.
But whatever the ending, it all points in the same direction in the end.
That's ...... He's going to lose!
Although Gordon now has a prediction for this battle in his mind, he is not a person to give up easily, let alone under the cameras of everyone and the media at this time, he is not allowed to give up.
At least Gordon wants to let the other Gotham citizens know that even if he loses in the end, he will do his best to deal with criminals!
After all, it is impossible for all criminals to be as difficult as Jerome, and they can still serve as a certain deterrent!
Just when Gordon was going to continue to attack with all his might until he collapsed or was defeated by Jerome.
At this moment, a roar suddenly came from outside the crowd not far away!
There was anger in this roar.
This roar sounded, and immediately attracted the eyes and attention of everyone present.
At this time, the media reporters also shifted their cameras to the direction where the roar came from.
I saw a burly figure rushing from a distance.
This figure had a bare head on top of it, and the most conspicuous thing was his muscular muscles and flushed complexion.
Just seeing this scene can make people feel the anger burning on this figure.
The roar just now was emitted by this burly figure.
At this time, Gordon and Jerome naturally heard the roar of this figure.
When Gordon heard the voice, his expression was stunned, and the offensive in his hand subconsciously slowed down a little, and at the same time, he couldn't help but turn his head to look in the direction where the figure was.
Because it was very familiar to him when he heard that roar.
It seems to be ......
And Jerome did not take this opportunity to attack Gordon, but also slowed down his movements.
Jerome looked at the figure, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.
He naturally knew who that figure was and why the other party had become like this......
When Gordon turned his head, the look on his face was filled with shock.
Because he just heard it right!
This figure is indeed an old acquaintance of his!
Or it was his former superior, Director Barnes, who took the initiative to resign as the chief of the Gotham police not long ago!
However, the state of Director Barnes at this time is very different from the beginning!
Although Director Barnes was not smiling at the beginning, at least his face was not as naked as he is now.
Compared with the original Director Barnes, although Gordon also adheres to justice and law, Director Barnes respects procedures and systems more than Gordon.
A 100% adherent to procedural justice!
But look at Barnes today, at this time, he looks carried away by anger and murderous intent, and he doesn't look like a defender of procedural justice in any way!
Gordon was puzzled, didn't Director Barnes say he wanted to take a break?
So what happened to him that caused him to be like this!
Just as Gordon was stunned, Director Barnes was already approaching the crowd in a frenzy.
Because of his previous status as the former chief of the Gotham Police Department, these officers present did not stop him, let alone others.
Seeing a big man roaring from a distance, he had already invariably let go of an unobstructed passage!
Barnes rushed unimpeded to the center of the crowd.
That is, the depth of Gordon and Jerome.
Ignoring Gordon, Barnes lunged straight at Jerome and threw a punch at Jerome!
This punch is really a bit of a surprise!
Jerome did know why Barnes was the way he was.
The reason is still from the mad hatter in the beginning!
When the Mad Hatter was being hunted down, Barnes personally led the team as the then chief of the Gotham Police Department, so during the arrest, he was accidentally infected with the psychotoxin created by the Mad Hatter using Alice's blood.
Barnes then went on to call for help like Arkham Asylum.
Arkham Asylum has two scientists, Warwick and Dr. Hugo, who are proficient in alchemy, poisonology, and chemistry, and are fully capable of researching antidotes to psychotoxins.
But how could Director Barnes, as the hero template carrier scheduled by Dean Levy, shoot himself in the foot?
Therefore, Dean Levi has never given the antidote to the psychotoxin to Barnes.
Therefore, the influence of the psychotoxin on Barnes's body on him is also increasing, and in the end, it directly causes Baans to be completely unable to control the anger and murderous intent brought by the psychotoxin, and is dominated by these two emotions.
But Jerome didn't expect the other party to attack him so suddenly!
Barnes punched Jerome in the face.
Unlike Gordon's fists, Barnes's own combat power is not weaker than Gordon's, and coupled with the influence of today's mental toxins, he is enough to overdraw his life force to gain stronger strength.
Therefore, the power carried by Barnes's punch directly knocked Jerome back again and again.
Moreover, Jerome could already clearly feel the pain in his body!
Now that Barnes is in a state, he can actually cause a lot of damage to him without surpassing the physical fitness of ordinary people!
This surprised Jerome!
The spiritual toxin in Barnes's body can actually play such an effect!
At the same time, Levi and Dr. Hugo, who were in Arkham Asylum, were also sitting in front of the TV watching the live broadcast.
Levi didn't need to, he could see more carefully through his vision.
Dr. Hugo and
The two Warwicks watched as Barnes punched Jerome back and back, and Jerome's face was rarely darkened with pain.
These two people immediately became excited!
It's not that these two men have a deep grudge against Jerome.
Although Jerome himself is crazy and will feel crazy, it is not very popular with other hero template carriers.
But the others didn't have much trouble with him, so they didn't gloat.
Dr. Hugo and Warwick were excited, all because of the effects of neurotoxins!
Before it was modified, the neurotoxin could actually cause an ordinary person to cause damage to the hero template carrier!
If Dr. Hugo and Warwick's alchemy are transformed, maybe they will be able to reproduce some alchemy potions on the Runetera Continent!
And on Jerome's side.
After Barnes made a great blow, he did not stop the attack, but continued to roar towards Jerome!
In fact, Barnes's strength is not weak, and his experience in hand-to-hand combat is not weaker than Gordon.
Plus the state in which Barnes was under the influence of a psychotoxin at this time.
Therefore, Jerome, who was not good at hand-to-hand combat, was suddenly suppressed.
Barnes' fists were swift and powerful, leaving Jerome a little scrambling.
Barnes's fist rained down on Jerome's body.
Jerome tried to fight back, but Barnes' form now perfectly illustrates what it means to punch and kill a master.
Barnes was not afraid of any injuries at all, and put on a desperate posture with Jerome, so that Jerome could not find any chance at all.
In the end, Jerome really had no choice but to take advantage of Barnes's punch to knock him backwards and withdraw from the battlefield.
Barnes was then led to the armored car again, and with the help of Barnes' hand, Jerome broke through the armored car, forcibly freed Jerome from it, and took him away.
And because Barnes has been entangled with Jerome's side, the police officers present are all tied, even if they see Jerome taking Jerome away, they don't dare to shoot, for fear of hurting the former Gotham police chief.
And after Jerome withdrew, Barnes still didn't give up, chasing in the direction where Jerome withdrew with Jerome!
After all three left, Gordon and the police officers were left in the scene, as well as the media reporters, who looked at each other.
The whole process takes place in an extremely short period of time.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the protagonist goes from Gordon and Jerome to Jerome and former Gotham Police Chief Barnes.
Then the protagonist leaves the scene at the speed of light.
Everyone present did not expect this to be the kind of development.
Gordon was still confused about what had happened to Barnes, but he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Barnes showed up in time to help him out of the siege.
Otherwise, the Gotham Police Department will most likely lose face today!
But......
Gordon looked at the media reporters present and the long guns and short guns in their hands, and couldn't help but have a headache again.
Then he was afraid he would have to face another troublesome problem.
That's how to explain the sudden appearance of former Director Barnes and Barnes's strange state......
