Origin of all things Arkham

Chapter 274 Batman's First Attempt

Apologize, of course there was no apology.Who is Alfred? Come to think of it, he is Batman's guardian and Lynn's friend.

You taste, you taste carefully.

Could this be some ordinary small character?In terms of extensive knowledge, strong nerves, psychological endurance and ability to withstand pressure, Alfred should be the top player in the DC world.

Who can scare him~
Lynn, of course you can't drop it~
Al wasn't surprised, and hung up the call he made to Lynn directly. It was called clean and neat, and the most prominent thing was a peaceful mind, and he loved what he did.

Anyway, what I can do, what I should do, have already been done, the rest I can't control at all, it's up to you.

Alfred thought so, and did so, but Lynn felt uncomfortable.

"Why did you hang up the phone, you haven't paid me yet!"

…………

Let's talk, let's make trouble, you can't joke about money.When Lynn received Alfred's transfer notice, he decided to risk his life without hesitation to save his best friend: Batman!

So, dangling, Lynn rode a small bicycle with a cat on his head and a robot hanging on the handlebar, singing cheerful songs, and once again embarked on a journey away from home.

"The wind was blowing cool that night~ That nightingale... Bah! Don't be ashamed, she came out at a very short time..."

The news of Lin En's return to the city should have been a secret. After all, he really didn't notify anyone, and he just flew all the way back so simply, and then performed a squatting at home on the spot.

However, although no one dared to monitor Lynn's house, on the way from Lynn's remote and dilapidated old house to the city, no matter what time of day, day and night, spring, summer, autumn and winter, there were always people guarding here. .

They belong to different organizations and groups, obey all kinds of ghosts and monsters, all kinds of messy private individuals or institutions, and dress up in various seemingly reasonable appearances and responsibilities very dedicatedly, such as nightingales on the street and so on.Its purpose is one and only one.

observe.Watch that old house, when the lights come on, when people come out of that house.

Almost all of these people have seen a vague portrait of someone, as well as a description of certain key words.

Right now, there is indeed a person coming out of that dilapidated old house.

As written in the materials they memorized, there are many keywords that can confirm their identities: broken mouth, nervousness, bicycle, cat...

"My God..."

It's only been a few days since I joined this very meaningful job, and Nightingale, who was employed by a mysterious intelligence organization, stared wide-eyed and let out a meaningless, subconscious exclamation: "Lyn... Lynn is back... "

"what?"

Lin En's physical fitness is excellent, and his hearing is quite good, so he heard the whisper very clearly.

"you know me?"

"Ah no...I'm not, I didn't...Ah! I don't know anything! Don't kill me! Don't kill me! Help!"

The woman with heavy make-up standing in the cold wind suddenly screamed like crazy, then turned and ran away, leaving Lin En in place with an embarrassed and innocent face.

"Is it because of me? Well...then it will be better."

Taking out the mask, Lynn put it on his head.

"Huh! Don't say it! You really don't say it! Warm!"

Afterwards, Lynn, who had a funny smile on his mask, turned his head and looked at the other guys who were dressed in various duties, but all stood still in place, sweating profusely and shivering.

"I see."

Lynn got out of the bike and kicked off the bike's chainstays.

"It was you who scared her away! Tell me! What did you do just now! Didn't you give me money!!"

........................

The wind was howling, and the bat motorcycle was speeding through the dark streets, and the wheels rolled up a large pile of old newspapers.

This is a dilapidated neighborhood, also known as the lower city.

According to the information found by Batman, the iron man's family conditions seem to have been very good all the time. His parents are both middle-class. Logically speaking, he shouldn't live in this kind of place.

Maybe there are some details that haven't been found. After all, who can be a superhero doesn't have a painful past that can't be looked back on.

I found a place to hide the motorcycle. Batman has always done things like this. When he is close to the enemy, he is always silent, like a ghost in the night sky, but once he moves, he is thunderous. Standard configuration Yes, it is the sound of various engines roaring.

He raised his hand and fired a hook gun. Although he had already left the cloud, Batman, who was used to the mechanical structure, was more accustomed to this way of going up the wall.

And, he also likes to leave some backs ready at all times.

That cloud is now one of his backs.

The hook rope was hung on the gargoyle on the roof, Batman pulled the trigger, and the rope retracted extremely quickly, driving his body up to the roof.

Without making any sound, a shadow passed by in the dark night, and Batman stood on a high place on the roof, standing there quietly, waiting for his "prey".

According to the information obtained from the investigation, Iron Man, the target of this time, whose real name is Victor Stone, is a young genius.

That's right, boy.This is a young man younger than Lynn, just turned 20 years old.

Originally, he should be a proud man whose life is about to usher in a shining moment.Because this young man not only has a high IQ and went to a good university, but also is a good athlete and the spiritual leader of the team.

However, an accident brought it all to an end.

car accident.

he died.

Batman didn't find out where he died or if he was taken to the hospital.However, now he is obviously not a dead person.

What brought him back to life, and what gave him that strange appearance and body.With those strange abilities, Batman is also unknown.

However, those are not important.

What really matters is whether this young man really deserves to be classified as a member of the group.

Whether he has justice in his heart is the only thing Batman cares about.

"Let's see what kind of person you are."

……

The place Batman chose was the neighborhood where Iron Man often appeared.He should live near here. From this point of view, this guy is a bit...immature.It is easy to expose some information about yourself that is easy to be detected by the enemy.

This point is obviously deducted points.

However, it can be changed.

If that guy really "passed the interview", Batman wouldn't mind being a teacher and teaching him some superhero survival knowledge.

……

Time passed by every minute and every second, and no one came to this dilapidated block.

After all, there is no value of robbery and crime here, which is understandable.

But Batman is certainly not afraid to wait. He believes that with the crime rate in this place, he should soon see an event that requires a superhero to solve it.

Sure enough, after a while, a few guys driving a box truck got out of the truck without a license plate, put on a mask skillfully, took out tools, and cut off the door of a second-hand shop. lock, slipped in.

On the rooftop, Batman lowered his eyebrows and looked at them quietly. After everyone entered the shop, he curled his lips in disdain.

I thought it was a skilled worker, but it turned out to be a pure novice. There was no one in charge, no one was left in the driver's seat, and the car turned off.

Has Gotham fallen to this point?

Can anyone come out and commit a crime? !

Looking up at the gloomy night sky, in such cold weather, even thieves and robbers can hide in the house, but superheroes can only blow cold wind on the roof, really...

Why hasn't that guy shown up yet...

"what--!"

Below, in that shop.There was a scream.

not good!There is someone in the store!And those robbers were armed with weapons!

Damn novices!Don't they know the difference between armed and unarmed!
Can't wait!Although Batman has never claimed to be a good person, of course he can't just look at this situation.

Arms raised, Batman's cloak stretched out behind him, Batman stood up, ready to glide over to save the hapless shopkeeper.

At this moment, Batman heard something in the night sky above his head.

Whoosh~!

A fuzzy silver-white figure flew across the sky at high speed, drew an arc, and rushed into the shop with a slight sound of breaking through the air.

Bang bang bang gunshots sounded one after another, and the light of sparks kept flickering. A fierce battle should have erupted in the room.

But quickly, the battle fell silent.

Batman didn't move, just waited quietly.

Sure enough, the quiet time lasted only a few seconds. With the sound of broken glass, several guys were thrown out of the room directly, smashed the glass, smashed the iron sheet, fell on the hard ground, and fell to the ground. bloody head.

The heavy footsteps of rattle sounded, and there was an obvious red light flickering in the darkness, shaking, walking from the darkness to the light.

Oh, it turned out to be the guy's eyes.One of his eyes was actually an electromechanical eye.

At this moment, Batman took out a small spotting telescope from his belt and looked down.

At this time, it was the first time for him to see the real condition of that iron man in a relatively clear and comprehensive way.

It turned out that that guy wasn't wearing some kind of mechanical prosthetic limbs. At least 65% of his body was completely made of mechanical bodies, including parts of his body and head!

This is something that humans absolutely cannot do.It has nothing to do with money, it is simply that the level of technology cannot be achieved.

Putting away the binoculars, Bruce looked down at the iron man who was talking to the shopkeeper holding his shoulders, and vaguely felt that there might be some bigger secret hidden in this guy.

Breaking through the sky again, after saving the shopkeeper's life and helping knock out the amateur robbers, Iron Man took off again and flew towards other places.

Of course, Batman couldn't just let him go. At this time, using a hook gun is obviously not enough to deal with such a situation.

A cloud that was constantly steaming and moving was released by Batman from a small bottle. He jumped onto the cloud and quickly followed behind that guy.

……

At first, Batman thought the guy would still be patrolling the rest of the city, doing what a superhero would do.

But this guy didn't intend to slow down or stay at all, and flew straight towards a certain direction.

Pursing his lips slightly, Batman knew that this guy who neither changed direction, nor accelerated or decelerated, should have found himself.

Without any hesitation, Batman sped up, and sure enough, that guy suddenly sped up too.

The two of them, one in front of the other, tacitly flew away from the city and landed in a remote old city on the edge of the city where even homeless people would not come.

Jumping off the cloud, Batman took the time to collect the cloud with a small bottle, wrapped himself in his cloak, and quietly looked at the Iron Man standing not far from him with his back to him.

"Why are you following me?"

Silence has always been one of Batman's weapons. At any time, the one who loses his composure in a confrontation is almost always the opponent.

This time was no exception, the iron man in front spoke first, but he still didn't turn around.

"You know I'm coming to find you."

Instead of answering his question, Batman "answered" one of his own.

"Of course I know."

Iron Man turned around, the mechanical prosthetic eyes flashing red light.

"Any news that exists on the Internet cannot be hidden from me. I know you are investigating me."

Iron Man took a step forward, his steps were very heavy: "Batman, do you want to catch me in Arkham as well?"

The answer is still irrelevant: "You know who I am. But I don't know your name yet."

After a moment of silence, Iron Man spoke again: "You can call me: Cyborg."

Cyborg... well, much stronger than Iron Man.

"Steelbone. Is this the code name you gave yourself. Do you want to protect this city?"

Cyborg took a step back, as if he was about to leave: "This has nothing to do with you."

"No. It's about me."

Just as Batman answered, Cyborg suddenly turned his head, raised his arm, and three positioning lasers were printed on Batman's chest and face.

"I don't want to hear from you. Goodbye."

After all, Cyborg, who showed strong self-awareness, was about to take off and leave here.

"Victor."

At this moment, Batman called out his name.

In an instant, a hint of panic appeared on the face of the steel bone who had been coldly rejecting people thousands of miles away just now.

"you……"

"Victor, there are some things that don't have to be done online."

Cyborg's reaction was even more resistant. He put on an appearance that he would attack at any time, and looked at Batman indifferently: "What do you want?"

"I think……"

Batman walked forward slowly, this time, he was not "intimidated".

"...I invite you to join an organization. An organization that can better protect the city, fight crime better, and protect the people."

"I'm not interested. Goodbye."

Batman kept walking, but Cyborg didn't seem to want to "take up the challenge" very much. After leaving a word in a hurry, he took off directly and left here with a whoosh.

On the spot, Batman raised his head, and the specially-made cloak that was tightly covering his body fell apart, revealing the thickened bat armor underneath.

"The test...passed. The next step is how to persuade."

Unscrewing the vial, the cloud appeared again, and Batman also left here.
