Chapter 2059: Knight's Night of Terror (Part 3)
The moonlight tonight is particularly bright. Under the huge pale moon, Wayne Tower is like the last giant standing when the sky is broken.
The lights of the financial port in the distance gradually go out. After the lights representing the prosperous side of the city fade away, only countless flashing police lights and cold neon lights remain.
Ta-da-da-da.
The footsteps and the sound of the pointer gradually overlapped. Barbara suddenly realized it and looked back and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the red figure.
She turned back to typing on the keyboard. Robin walked out of the shadows. Barbara asked without looking back, "You told him that we won't have reinforcements, right?"
Then she sighed and said, "But who doesn't have innocence? I just hope he can keep this innocence until tomorrow morning."
Robin's expression was complicated. He stood in the room and looked at Barbara and said, "Didn't you listen to his phone call?"
"I don't need more worries." Barbara's tone was still calm, just a little more anxious than before, which was a rare calmness in this situation.
Robin sighed and said nothing. He turned around and saw the photo of Barbara and Nightwing on the bookshelf.
Barbara continued to operate the computer and said, "Batman has obtained a sample of fear gas. He should have taken it back to the Batcave. I'm not sure Peter Parker is capable of studying it. I want to go back. What do you think?"
"He found another assistant for that kid named Peter." Robin crossed his arms and said, "Or he found him a trouble."
In the Batcave, Poison Ivy looked at Peter Parker, shook her head gently and said, "Don't expect me to cooperate with you. After Batman leaves, we will break up."
"I'm afraid you have to cooperate, ma'am. You know you can't leave easily." Peter said while observing the test tube.
"The security facilities in the Batcave are indeed very strict, but I..."
Swish!
A shining bat dart cut off a strand of red hair on Poison Ivy's temples. Poison Ivy slowly turned her eyes to the side and saw a thin filament with a faint light floating slightly under the light.
As soon as Poison Ivy stretched out her hand, several vines on the floor grew rapidly towards Peter. Peter jumped to the side, stood on the wall, and climbed to the ceiling like a spider. Poison Ivy was so fast that she didn't even have time to look up.
The next second, a shadow fell behind her, and her arm had strangled Poison Ivy's neck. Poison Ivy bit Peter's arm. Her saliva was poisonous, and it was highly poisonous.
"Plant toxin?"
Peter retracted his hand and frowned at the wound on his arm that was quickly turning black. Poison Ivy raised her chin slightly and said, "Let me go, I'll give you the antidote."
"I'm afraid it's not necessary." Peter called out to his symbiote in his heart, and the symbiote factor quickly filtered out the toxin.
Peter took a test tube from the side and let the drop of plant toxin drip into the test tube. Poison Ivy slightly widened her eyes. She waved her hand, and the drop of toxin returned to her body.
"Interesting little guy." Poison Ivy raised her eyebrows at Peter and said, "Maybe Batman told you that I am immune to fear toxin, so he hopes you can study me and find the formula to crack the fear gas, so he brought me here."
"But I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. The way I'm immune to fear gas can't be explained by science, and there's no point in keeping me here."
"I'm not going to study you." Peter shook his head and said, "I don't need the information you have, I just hope you can make a deal with me."
"Why should I make a deal with you?"
"Because you've come here, it means you've agreed to my deal, otherwise you should be in prison now, I mean the prison in the Batcave, which would be more troublesome."
"It seems that Batman has found a powerful assistant this time. He mentioned to you that he had a few Robin's end? "" I don't care about that. "Peter came up in the first two steps and said," I asked Batman to bring you here because I saw your information in the database of the bat computer, so I could call the name of the plant toxin. Before, I looked at her eyes and said, "I just found the backing images of the Strawman Declaration." "What about that?" "He said that the city will be destroyed after 24 hours." "He is a fool, but he can do it." The poisonous woman leaned his head and said, "Fortunately, the plants are not affected by his toxins, and I am too lazy to do what he do." It's too long.
"There are some clues, Batman. In addition, I have made a gas mask. Robin will bring it to you. It can only partially prevent fear gas, so that you will not panic immediately, and delay the onset of fear gas in your body, but it cannot completely immunize you, so you still have to be careful."
"Regarding fear gas, I found that its essence is actually a kind of brain wave radiation. The frequency and wavelength of this radiation are extremely special, and the most special thing is that a peak value in it can be detected by ordinary human electrical signal instruments."
Batman frowned slightly, and then said: "That means we can track this signal , find the place where the fear gas is most dense. "
"That's right, Batman, but this signal is extremely unstable and distributed very widely. If you want to use the power of satellites, then I'm sure your antenna's transmission power is not enough."
"I'll adjust them. Once I'm done, you start the monitoring device and tell me the results."
"Yes, I'll stay in the Batcave until you bring me good news. Goodbye, Batman."
Peter hung up the phone and walked upstairs with Poison Ivy. The lights in the towering Wayne Tower stairwell lit up one by one until they reached the top floor.
Poison Ivy looked around and said, "This is the Gotham Weather Control Center. What do you want to do?"
Peter was looking around, passing through a distribution room, coming to the equipment control center, and then crossing the hall to a door.
He took out the Batcomputer he carried with him, disassembled the electronic lock control device of the door and started hacking. About ten minutes later, the door was opened.
What came into view was a huge spherical device with continuous vortexes surging inside, which looked like some kind of water purification equipment.
Poison Ivy had never been to this place before. She walked in slowly, looked at the device and said, "Sometimes I really don't know whether Batman is the savior or the devil of the world. This thing looks like it can destroy the entire Gotham City."
"A little modest." Peter obviously knew more than her. He said, "It's almost the entire New Jersey. It's not water inside, but some special particle flow that can adjust the composition of the air to achieve the effect of controlling the weather."
"Once the particle flow becomes disordered and causes an explosion, New Jersey will encounter a huge tsunami, and at least tens of millions of people will die."
"And you are going to start this machine now."
"More than that, I hope you can add the prepared plant toxins to it."
Poison Ivy was completely stunned. She stared at Peter and said, "Actually, you are Clayface, right?... You know this will make Batman crazy, and I don't want to die with you!"
"I said, it's a prepared plant toxin, you It can be controlled, isn't it? "Peter didn't retreat at all. He looked at Poison Ivy and said, "Increase the anesthetic ingredients and make sure they are harmless to the human body, and I will be responsible for controlling the dosage."
"Are you going to anesthetize all the people in Gotham? ! ! "
"Except Batman, I gave him a gas mask."
Poison Ivy looked at Peter stiffly and said, "How did you deceive Batman? Why did he recruit you as his assistant?"
"Don't ask so many questions. This is the only feasible way now." Peter turned his head and looked at the weather controller and said, "Scarecrow is going to let the fear gas spread throughout the city within 24 hours, thereby destroying Gotham City, so we have to be faster than him."
"As long as there are no hostages, the time limit of this game is no longer 24 hours, and if they are not prepared, it will be dawn in half an hour."
Poison Ivy shook her head and took two steps back and said, "I won't do this with you, you lunatic, you don't..."
Swish!
Several shining spider silks brushed past her ears, bringing flying hair. In Poison Ivy's pupils, which were dilated with fear, the figure of Peter reaching out was reflected.
"I'm ready to confess." Barbara's voice echoed in the room of the bell tower. She put her hands on her legs and said in a low voice: "I can't keep it from James forever. It's not fair to him."
"But not now." Robin stepped forward and said: "We are facing unprecedented challenges, and you know that this will cause a rift between Commissioner Gordon and Batman."
"You are wrong. This is the best opportunity. Neither of them is a person who ignores the overall situation. Under the pressure of the crisis, they will temporarily join hands. No matter how big the conflict is, it will be easier to reconcile."
"You think things are too simple." Robin sighed and said: "Do you think you are the only tragedy? Gordon's sad and disappointed expression will hit Batman again."
"But I have to do this."
The whistling wind failed to reach the well-insulated glass in the Batmobile, making this space the quietest place in the world, but sometimes silence is not all good.
Batman saw the Joker's face in the rearview mirror. The Joker smiled at him again and said, "A new victim? A child who is just as young, immature and ignorant of the world. How many of them are you going to kill?"
Sizzle——
Batman slammed on the brakes, and the Batmobile stopped at the first place where the antenna needed to be adjusted. He pushed open the door, then turned his head and looked at the Joker in the rearview mirror and said, "You are just my illusion, you are the most miserable person."
After that, he walked towards the studio.
Just when Batman adjusted the first antenna, a signal came from the device on the arm armor, which showed that someone had violently cracked the door of the Wayne Tower Weather Control Center.
Batman pressed the button on his arm and found that there was no trace of entry and exit of the Batcave, and then turned to the clock tower and the place where the Sky Eye system could monitor, and found nothing abnormal.
Did Scarecrow do it?
No, that chemistry professor is not capable of hacking into the security system of Wayne Tower. That requires very advanced hacking skills, even Barbara may not be able to do it.
Scarecrow has other helpers, and Batman's mood became heavier. He was not sure whether Scarecrow's helper could activate the Gotham weather control device.
According to common sense, it is impossible. That thing is very complicated. It is not possible to trigger an explosion by pressing a button. The number of scientists who can understand the parameter table can be counted on one hand. No one in Gotham can do it except Batman.
Batman gently touched the gas mask on his face. He could feel that it was modified from the bat suit. He hoped that this would play a certain role, at least to make the hallucinations appear less frequently, because he had to concentrate highly to turn the tide before dawn.
Suddenly, a weak airflow passed through the gap in the studio window, and Batman smelled a different smell.
He put down the things in his hand and stood up, looking out the window, and the rain outside the window was getting heavier.
The wind was whistling, lightning and thunder were flashing, and in the unstoppable thick darkness, one figure after another fell down.
In the bright windows nearby, on the streets farther away, and even in the distant sky - the people of Gotham kept falling down, like wheat seedlings lying in the storm, and broken driftwood in the waves.
Batman felt lost, and at this moment, he even felt fear.
Then, unparalleled anger rose from his heart. He was not afraid of any rules set by super criminals, because he was Batman.
But if he followed the rules and the super criminals did not, then their doom would come.
The Joker appeared again in the reflection of the window glass, but Batman no longer cared.
He rushed into the rainy night.
Suddenly, the noise of a helicopter came from a distance. Batman looked up and saw an armed helicopter with the FBI logo just flying over the bridge of Gotham City.
Whose general is this?
