"Black Mask, real name Roman Siannis, gang boss, founder of Kamen Club, crazy mental state."

"Abilities: Top hand-to-hand combat, excellent marksmanship, torture to extract confessions, mind control."

"Evaluation: Madness has allowed Black Mask to gain physical strength close to the pinnacle of human beings and criminal talents far beyond ordinary people, and he will become one of the underworld overlords that cannot be ignored."

"Black Mask's mind control power comes from his ebony mask, which can invisibly affect the human mind, and only the strong-willed can avoid this effect."

After activating the Eye of Vision, Dean instantly learns the general information of the Black Mask.

To his surprise, this black mask actually has superpowers!

And it's also a spiritual ability that can't be seen or touched, and it's extremely troublesome to deal with.

It's no wonder that so many vicious and lawless criminals in the Black Gate Prison are willing to follow the Black Mask, in addition to the same interests, I am afraid that this ability also occupies a lot of credit.

"Black Mask, that mask seems to have been made from his father's coffin, right? What kind of ghost wood is this, which can actually affect the human spirit? ”

For a moment, Dean wanted to ask Black Mask where his father's coffin was bought, and he wanted to buy one.

Oh, don't bother, just tell him what kind of wood the coffin is made of, and he will work hard to cut it himself.

"It feels a little tricky......"

Dean pondered.

Black Mask's other abilities didn't matter, but this mind control made Dean unsure of how to deal with it.

Although the Eyes of True Vision saw information that Black Mask's mind control could be ignored as long as they were strong-willed, this "strong-willed" statement was a bit too ambiguous.

Does it require strong willpower of Batman's level, or is it enough to have a strong will within the range of a normal person?

There was no big reason, Dean instinctively felt that in this world, it was probably more likely that the former would be in line.

"Hmm...... To be on the safe side, let's get a disposable spirit talisman first. ”

After thinking about it, Dean decided to add a little more margin for error to himself and give Black Mask a small system shock.

Spiritual protective items are really not cheap, even if they can only be used once, they cost 1,500 exclamation points.

The amulet is also automatically triggered, sensing the release of mind control from the outside world on the wearer, and then activating an invisible aura to protect the wearer, ignoring any form of mind control for the next thirty seconds.

After the aura is formed, the amulet will also be completely damaged and cannot be repaired.

It's not that Dean has to rely on the amulet to deal with the Black Mask, it's just a last resort.

After all, no one can say for sure what the future will be, and if Dean is mentally controlled, I'm afraid he won't even have a chance to open the system at that time.

In the face of the black mask, which has been crazy to the extreme at this time, Dean can't expose the slightest flaw, otherwise what awaits him will be a dead end.

Wearing a spirit talisman around his neck and covering it with clothing, Dean's figure retreated into the darkness.

——

Just when the whole of Gotham was drawn to the Great Riot.

At present, it is relatively calm in the diamond area, in the iceberg club.

Several of the leaders of the Penguin people who had stayed behind to guard the base camp gathered in the conference room, and the atmosphere was vaguely delicate.

Ogilvi was seen standing next to the penguin's position, holding an umbrella in his hand, which was exactly the same style as the one commonly used by the penguins.

His outfit at this time was also very different from his usual attire, a clean high-end suit with a mink coat draped over it, his hair combed into a large back, and a black monocle.

It looks like ...... A tall and skinny version of the penguin.

Ogilvie's outfit was really subtle, causing several other Penguin gang leaders to frown and their eyes become vigilant.

"What do you mean, Ogilvie?"

One of the leaders couldn't contain his emotions and questioned Ogilvi in an unkind tone.

"Didn't you just say that we were going to discuss our next steps in the absence of the boss, so let's come to the conference room? As a result, you made us wait so long to show up to change this outfit, what the hell do you want to do? ”

"What do I want to do?"

Ogilvie raised his eyebrows and smiled slightly, "Like I said, I want to discuss with you about the next step. ”

"Why do you go out of your way to change your clothes, and it's so much like ...... Boss? ”

The leader continued to ask.

Ogilvi pondered for a moment, then said, "That's a good question. ”

I saw him put on a serious expression and said, "Everyone, Roman Siannis has gone mad, and the madness of Black Mask has caused a riot that has spread throughout Gotham. ”

"You've lived in this city for so many years, don't you know how dangerous Gotham was during the riots?"

"Now, our boss personally led the men and horses to fight the Black Mask, what if something happened...... Like being hit in the head by a bullet flying from nowhere......"

At this, Ogilvie sighed.

"Then who should inherit this big penguin gang and this extremely luxurious iceberg club?"

At this moment, Ogilvie showed a smile that belonged to him, opened his hands and said, "Of course it's me, the personal secretary who plans everything for him!" ”

"I'm going to take on the boss's name and become the city's new penguin...... No, in order to thank my boss for promoting and nurturing me, I will go one step further and truly take control of the city! ”

"Not some uncrowned underground king, but a veritable king of Gotham!"

"I'm going to be—Emperor Penguin!"

Bang!

As soon as Ogilvi finished speaking, several leaders in the conference room slammed the table and stood up at the same time.

The first to attack Ogilvie even pulled out his gun.

"Ogilvie, you're trying to betray your boss!"

"Don't say it so ugly, I've been doing my best for the boss all these years, I've done all the dirty work, I've never complained, and now I'm just worried about the future of the Penguins, how can it be called betrayal?"

Ogilvie waved his hand.

Obviously, the dog will not believe his words.

"Humph! Ogilvie, I'm guessing you're trying to pull us along in betraying your boss, but unfortunately you've miscalculated. ”

The leader of the gun snorted coldly, "You shouldn't have said such things while you're in the same conference room with us, because you'll die under my guns in the next second." ”

As he spoke, he pulled the trigger.

Bang!

The gun went off.

It wasn't Ogilvi who was shot, it was the leader.

At the last second before he died, he thought that he could shoot Ogilvie, but he didn't know that since the latter dared to show his ambitions in front of the Penguin gang leaders, he must have something to rely on.

Ogilvie clapped his hands, and footsteps rang out.

Immediately afterward, more than a dozen gunmen appeared in the conference room and pointed their guns at the remaining leaders.

"I forgot to tell you that at this moment, the Iceberg Club is full of my people."

Ogilvie said lightly.

"Do you think it's so easy to seize power? The boss won't let you go! ”

When the other leaders saw the tragic death of the leader just now, they didn't dare to act rashly, but they didn't immediately give in to Ogilvie, but moved out of the penguin to warn him.

"Hum Hum Hum ~"

Who knows, hearing that they moved out of the penguin people, Ogilvi not only did not fear, but sneered.

"As I said earlier, Gotham tonight is dangerous, and even if it's a penguin, it's not surprising that they die in some fierce firefight."

Ogilvi no longer hides his ambitions, and he doesn't even call the penguin man a boss.

"The penguin is already old, and even the ruthlessness that he was afraid of life and death back then, crawling up from the bottom is gone, and he doesn't even dare to put a fart when he sees Batman, this is your god-like boss?"

Ogilvie said dismissively.

"The reason why I am telling you this is because I think there is still a little merit in your abilities, and it would be a pity to follow that old penguin to decay and be eliminated by the times."

"Follow me, and I will give you untold riches and power beyond your imagination!"

Ogilvi threw an olive branch to the Penguin leaders.

Only two of the younger leaders nodded and took Ogilvie's offer.

The remaining three or four leaders looked at Ogilvie with blank expressions and said their last words in unison.

"Ogilvie, you will regret betraying the trust of your boss."

With a few gunshots, the unwilling leaders were killed by Ogilvie's guns.

"The first time I used an umbrella laser gun, it was very powerful."

Ogilvie said with satisfaction as he blew on the hot air coming from the tip of the umbrella.

"Now, what are we supposed to do? Mr. Ogilvie? ”

The two leaders of Toucheng asked tremblingly.

"Mr. Ogilvie?"

"Oh no, boss, it's boss!"

Ogilvie nodded, then smiled mysteriously, "Next, let the horror spread throughout the city." ”

"It's ...... What do you mean? ”

The two little leaders looked at each other and asked puzzledly.

"I've been planning this day for a long time, and I didn't expect a black mask to pop up out of nowhere."

Instead of answering the questions of the two novices, Ogilvie said something that made people even more confused.

"Black Mask set off the Gotham riot and created the perfect time for my plans."

At that moment, Ogilvi changed his words.

"You two, I'm going to give you a task now."

The two of them were in high spirits, and they were assigned tasks as soon as they joined the gang?

Did Ogilvie trust them that much? Or does he really value their abilities that much?

I worked hard under the Penguins, and it took me many years to become a small boss who couldn't get up or down, and it was difficult to get a job when I first joined, and no one cared about them at all.

Now Ogilvi actually personally assigned tasks to the two of them?

Suddenly, the shame of betraying the Penguins and joining Ogilvie seemed to vanish all at once.

However, in the next second, Ogilvie's words made the two of them fall into an ice cellar, and they wanted to die on the spot.

"I need you two to go and talk to that old penguin, let him know what just happened, and then tell him that I will take his place soon, Gotham doesn't need two penguins!"

Meanwhile, in the forest in Robinson Park.

Hundreds of thugs from the Black Masked and Masquerade Society searched the banks of the Finger River in an attempt to find traces of Bruce Wayne's previous stay.

In order to find someone, of course, it is impossible for hundreds of people to gather together.

They dispersed, and the distance between people was more than ten meters, and they spread out little by little, looking for Bruce's whereabouts as much as possible.

"Hey! Come over here, I've discovered Bruce Wayne's live streaming venue! ”

Suddenly, a shout was heard not far away.

A flash of joy flashed in the black mask's eyes, and he quickly rushed to the source of the sound, followed by a dozen of his subordinates.

The rest of the men heard the sound and rushed over there, but the overall position of the personnel was too scattered, and it would take time to regroup.

It didn't take long for Black Mask to come to the place where the sound came from, and the environment of the trees next to him was vaguely similar to the background of Bruce Wayne's live broadcast.

Of course, the woods are not much worse than they look anywhere, and they are not enough to prove that this is the venue where Bruce livestreams.

What really proves this is that there are more than a dozen cameras in the middle of the woods, and there are many things that you don't understand at all what they are for, but you can somehow know that they are live broadcast equipment are piled up next to them.

All of this equipment adds up to a staggering amount that is almost as large as a small sound studio.

Less than thirty meters away is the confluence of the upper and lower reaches of the Finger River, which happens to be the area of the river's rapids, and the sound of the water is obvious if you listen closely.

Exactly what it was like when Bruce went live not long ago.

At this time, a man wearing a white skull mask was standing in front of the live broadcast equipment, and said to the black mask with excitement.

"Boss, this must be the venue for Bruce Wayne's live broadcast, he can't run far, look out from here, you should be able to find him soon."

"Good observation, what's your name?"

The Kamen Club was established for only a few hours, and no matter how good Black Mask's memory is, it is impossible for him to remember the identities and appearances of the hundreds of people under his hands, and only those who are more outstanding will he deliberately remember them.

"My name is Shakibal Cherdan, boss."

The man in the white skull mask replied respectfully.

"I'm not asking for your name, I'm asking for your true self."

Black Mask frowned, dissatisfied with his men's answer.

"Listen, the mask gives us strength, it awakens the soul that lurks deep within us, and your mask is your truest face."

Black Mask looked around, said to the group of men behind him, and then turned back to Shakibal.

"Understood, Boss, my true self is a white skeleton."
