19 Chapter XIX

Wayne Manor, why is it so far from downtown Gotham?

After more than an hour of hiking, the question became a mystery that haunted Theodore's mind.

Theodore's physical strength is good, even after walking more than ten kilometers in a row, he does not feel very tired.

But this state of having a long road ahead and worrying about the chasing soldiers coming from behind at any time is a great drain on the spirit.

Just when Theodore wanted to stop, take a short break, and take out the map in his backpack to take a look, a locomotive suddenly whizzed past Theodore.

The man on the motorcycle slowed down his speed, and when he passed by Theodore, he grabbed Theodore's backpack and slammed the accelerator under his feet.

The strap of the backpack was copied by the man, and the other party laughed wildly: "Let it go!" ”

This is Gotham's biker, the backpack is immediately gone, and it does not care about the life or death of the robbed.

The bikers were skillful enough to block the road and rob, but Theodore's reaction was much quicker than the man's.

Almost as soon as the strap of the bag was pulled, Theodore quickly let go of his hand.

Feeling the resistance of the pull, the man was about to show a smug smile, when he suddenly saw a figure passing by out of the corner of his eye.

In the next second, the backseat of the locomotive sank, and Theodore stepped on his long legs, relying on his agility and dexterity, like a shadow attached to the man's back.

In the oncoming high-speed night breeze, Theodore breathed faintly at the back of the man's neck.

"Give me back the bag."

"Fβ—‹CK, how the did you get up?!"

"β€”and, this time it's your turn to let go." Theodore sneered and completed the second half of the sentence.

At the same time, Theodore hooked the man's leg with his calf, removed the other's foot from the accelerator, and lifted the man's back collar with all his hands and threw him to the side.

The whole set of movements took less than two seconds from start to finish, and it was as smooth as a cloud in one go.

"Get down for me!"

A minute later, Theodore was in a good mood on his scooter and enjoying the night breeze on the outskirts of Gotham.

Gotham, what a treasure of feng shui.

Everyone robs others, and everyone is robbed.

From a certain point of view, how can it be regarded as the realization of the sharing economy?

Now, the wealth increases motorcycle Γ—1.

This means that Theodore can ride directly through the Gotham Bridge overnight to the metropolis!

As soon as he left the city where Wayne was covered, Theodore's escape plan would be eighty percent successful.

The remaining 20 percent can also be solved by other means.

For example, Theodore is now missing an identity. Documents.

In the United States, the identity is universal. The document is usually a driver's license or social security card.

In other words, as long as Theodore gets a document that is close to his age, he can disguise himself as a new identity.

The shared motorcycle that has just arrived has broadened Theodore's thinking.

- Since Gotham is destined to be chaotic tonight, can he take advantage of it by the way?

What Theodore means - can he fish for law enforcement and rob the documents of the robbers who are not long-sighted until they get one that can be improvised?

I'm so wicked, Theodore thought.

But at the same time, the right foot on the gas pedal is very honestly racing all the way, sending Theodore into Gotham City, turning into a familiar alley.

Pulling out a thin blazer from his backpack, Theodore solemnly slipped it on.

Three minutes later, a black-haired and blue-eyed young master who strayed into Crime Alley was freshly baked.

The young master looked so dignified, he came to the out-of-place Gotham alley, and his demeanor was completely unprepared.

Less than three minutes after appearing on the streets of Gotham, Theodore was forced into the alley by two knife-wielding robbers.

Robbers: What a confused little sheep, thanks to fate!

Theodore: That green-haired, blue-eyed young man looks like that's perfect for me! Thanks for the great Gotham self-help!

Both sides looked at each other and smiled, and each felt that today was a lucky night.

Theodordi didn't know how many times he lamented that Gotham was a great place for freedom.

Coming here is like returning to his hometown that he has never met.

If it weren't for Wayne's targeting, Theodore might have been reluctant to leave.

The two robbers in front of him, one with angry red hair, deep lines on his face, and loose skin, were middle-aged people who knew at a glance that he had been drunk all year round.

The other one who gave the redhead a hand was a rather punk-clad thug.

He looked to be about Theodore's age, with blue eyes, and his hair was a poor green color dyed by inferior hair dye, and he was fiercely striking Theodore with a knife.

"Boy, hand over all the money on you!"

"Your clothes look quite valuable, take them off. And on your hands, do you wear a watch? - Hey, wear it, count yourself as a kid today! ”

Theodore smiled and reached into his suit jacket to grasp the handle of the crowbar hidden inside.

Just as he was about to raise his crowbar and give the two stupid thieves who had pinched the wrong persimmon a righteous beating, the green-haired young man suddenly approached and looked at Theor's face back and forth.

"Look, this kid looks really good!"

Green hairs exposed kinky. Evil smile, eyes flashing with ill intentions.

"I say, Chief, why don't we sell him to Black Mask?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Hearing this suggestion, the older red-haired man was visibly moved.

None of them noticed that Theodore, who had been smiling a little funny, was getting cold inch by inch.

Black Mask's Black State is in charge of half of Gotham's skin and meat business.

It goes without saying what the two of them want to sell Theodore to Black Mask.

Under the blazer, the palm of the hand holding the crowbar is released.

Theodore, who had been punctured with a thunderbolt, moved his fingers upwards and then pulled them from inside his coat. Out of a handle to change the cone.

"By Arkham Asylum, I just wanted to rob a document." Theodore said expressionlessly, "But you two just me off. ”

***

Batman tracked it all the way and finally caught the penguin man by the tail in a safe house five kilometers away from the Iceberg Hotel.

There was a bang, and the glass shattered like raindrops.

The batrang smashed through the window, striking the penguin from behind in a crescent-like arc in mid-air at a ghostly angle.

The one that touches the skin, the dart body is electrically light. The penguin man lost control of his limbs in an instant, convulsed and fell to the ground, the umbrella in his hand rolling aside.

Batman followed, jumping into the room and pressing his knee against the penguin's chest.

Beneath the mask with pointed ears, there was a deep questioning as deep as a Gotham night, hoarse and low.

"Everything that happened today is not the way you and Black Mask acted. Answer me, Who is the messenger of the Lord? ”

Among the many Gotham villains, the Penguin is often the one who is more judgmental and has a relatively soft waist.

Batman came first to track down the Penguin, also because he was more likely to be breached than Black Mask.

This time, however, the penguin kept his mouth shut, as if he wanted to fight to the end.

Batman knows how to convince him.

The next moment, the penguin was punched three times in a second, each punch hitting the face squarely.

Fine cracks vibrated in the lenses, tumbling off the bridge of the penguin's nose, and the final punch was so hard and hard that it almost sank the penguin's entire face.

A man in the shape of a penguin lets out a painful moan. groan, but was ruthlessly carried by Batman by the collar and brought to him.

At this moment, the two people were so close that they almost had the tip of their nose next to the tip of their nose.

Batman pressed in a tone that seemed like he had just crawled out of hell:

"Last chance - who?"

The penguin man spat out his knocked out teeth and said indistinctly:

"If there is a 50% profit, capital will take risks; 100% profit, it dares to trample on all human laws; 300% profit, it dares to risk going to the gallows......*"

"β€”If that day comes, I'll provide you with a bat gallows." Batman said coldly.

He expertly tied the penguin man, wrapped the lasso around the penguin's ankle, and hung him upside down like a silkworm chrysalis on the eaves outside the safe house.

As soon as the night breeze blows in Gotham, the penguins sway, like the pendulum of a brass table clock, swaying rhythmically.

Batman summoned Robin: "I'll go find Black Mask, and the Penguin Man will take care of it." ”

"Okay, BAT, I'll be there in ten minutes."

In the headphones, Robin's voice was heard.

"By the way, remind the Penguin Man for me, let him not learn to speak from the Riddler next time, the whole Gotham, the Riddler will be beaten the most."

The oracle thrust in suddenly. In between: "Surveillance shows that the dwarfs have just entered the alley with a man with green hair. There is no surveillance in the alley, and it cannot be ruled out that the other party is a member of the Clown Gang, and I am investigating his identity. ”

The news is nerve-wracking.

But after a few seconds, the oracle's tone suddenly changed, and there was a strange hint in his tone.

"Wait a minute, it seems to be fine."

"How?"

"Red Hood." The oracle zooms in on the computer screen, "Red Hood is going in that direction." ”

***

In the alley, a middle-aged red-haired man with his eyes closed and his head down in a tattered empty garbage can.

Only the two exposed legs occasionally bounced a few times, indicating that he was still alive.

As for the green-haired young man, he was being tightly clamped by Theodore's neck.

Theodore initially wanted to put him against the wall, but found out he couldn't.

The green hair was a head taller than himself, and he had to tiptoe to restrain him in a posture similar to a wall knock.

So, Theodore simply beat the green fur and threw it on the ground.

He bent one leg and half sat and half pressed against Greenhair's chest. Every time Theodore's knee sank slightly, the green-haired thug would be forced out of the air in his lungs by Theodore, and let out a series of violent coughing sounds.

Theodore pushed him with his knee: "Do you have a social security card, or a driver's license?" ”

"Yes! Yes! The green-haired bastard was obedient and softened quickly, "In my left pocket, you can take it." ”

Theodore took out the other party's ID and looked at it, and was surprised to find that this person even had green hair dyed on the ID photo.

Even if his surname is "Green", Theodore wants to complain about what kind of taste the other party has.

"You're nineteen?" Theodore asked, reading his credentials.

He thought to himself: No wonder you are a head taller than me.

"Yes, I'm nineteen, don't hit me, don't hit me!"

The green-haired bastard begged for mercy intermittently: "Little master, spare me." I had just come of age when my stepfather forced me to rob to earn college tuition. I can't help it, this is really my first robbery, I just want to earn enough for myself! ”

Theodore: "......"

Although he was dressed like a young master in a suit and leather shoes, his experience was not.

The green-haired nonsense should be used to deceive the real rich son.

Theodore was a fool if he believed a word.

Moreover, Theodore has not forgotten that it was this green-haired proposal from the beginning to sell himself to Black Mask.

Thinking of this, Theodore's chest suddenly filled with a vicious breath.

Laughing angrily, Theodore softened his voice sympathetically.

"Oh, yes, that's pathetic."

The green-haired was dazed, unaware of the strangeness of Theodore's sudden softening of his attitude, and was still crying with emotion.

"My stepfather was fierce and brutal. He beat me every day when he was drunk, and if I disobeyed his orders, he would kill me and bury my bones in the outskirts of the city overnight! ”

Theodore nodded in agreement with a look of understanding.

None of them noticed that three minutes earlier, on the eaves above their heads, they had silently passed by a red hood.

The Penguin Man and Black Mask are in a fight, and Jason knows that Batman will definitely pick the Penguin Man first.

In that case, Black Mask is his extra money tonight.

Red Hood rode out on his beloved locomotive and scrapped Black Mask's two deputies overnight - this time he didn't have to hide in the bathroom to see his head, which saved him a lot of time.

Now, this neighborhood, which originally belonged to Black Mask, has changed its surname to Red Hood.

Jason didn't expect that when he came to inspect his new territory, he would just happen to run into a good scene.

The robber was dyed with green hair, evil, and of poor taste.

On the other hand, the little young master who was robbed has black hair and blue eyes.

It's a top-notch color scheme. When his parents gave birth to him, his aesthetics must have been very high-end.

I originally thought it was the most common fat sheep who were robbed of drama on the street.

The palm of the red hood was already lazily touching the gun strap tied to his thigh.

Unexpectedly, the boy took off his coat like a white rabbit, and in the blink of an eye, he revealed a mouthful of sharp steel fangs.

β€œοΌβ€

Beautiful anti-killing, beautiful fishing law enforcement, showing the style of my generation of street children in Crime Lane.

There was a silent whistle, and the red hood was about to leave.

However, in the next second, Theodore's voice sounded faintly in the alley.

"β€”I understand, I understand, I understand you."

"Life is like this, you will have a pair of unreliable biological parents who abandoned you."

Red Hood stood still, thinking that it would be okay to listen to two more sentences.

"Just when you think you're going to live on the streets, fate gives you a new guardian."

"He was tall, handsome, and rich."

The red hood folded his arms in front of his chest, his toes little by little, and gently beat silently for this amazing coincidence.

"You think this is the beginning of your time?"

"Nope. Your guardian carries secrets you can't even think of. ”

"And he's more ...... than you think," Theodore smiled, with no smile in his eyes, showing his snow-white teeth, and said word by word, "more stubborn." ”

Red Hood: "......"

Red Hood thought for a moment, and sat down on the roof very honestly.

The new site can be inspected at any time.

But similar family affairs dramas are not heard every day.

In short, a little boy with black hair and blue eyes and a rather criminal alley appearance complained to his face about his authoritarian guardian, and the red hood listened to it, but he was not sleepy!
