Origin of all things Arkham

Chapter 275
The night sky is bright and bright, but there is only a little bit of cold wind. For Cyborg, such "pain" can remind him that he is still a human being, so he has always enjoyed this feeling.

However, at this time, he obviously didn't have enough mood to feel the temperature of the wind.

The arrival of Batman, like a flashing danger signal, made Cyborg somewhat at a loss.

He never had the idea of ​​being a superhero, but fate played tricks on him.He has become what he is now, his whole body is covered with cold and hard steel metal, but he still has a warm heart.

When he was still called Victor, Cyborg was a young man full of sense of justice and responsibility. He was willing to criticize injustice and contribute his strength to help the weak. However, at that time, he felt that he might One day in the future, I will become a judge, or a lawyer, and use my own efforts to help others in a normal way.

It's not like this, falling from the sky, using cruel and violent means to forcibly change the fate of others.

All because of that car accident, he should have died.

The car accident claimed most of his body and all his limbs, including a large number of organs that were about to die. At that time, Victor was already in the last stage of his life. When he was dying, he would bid farewell to this world after the next breath at any time.

But his father didn't want to see such an ending, so he took advantage of his position and stole a mysterious metal box from his place of work.

That thing, that box that seemed to have life, created Victor today, preserved his life, turned him into an omnipotent robot, and completely turned him into an incompetent robot. Accepted monsters.

Victor has lost a lot, but he has never lost his sense of responsibility and justice, even though he no longer has a beating heart.

However, even though he tried to act chivalrously and act as a vigilante in the dark, it does not mean that he is ready to communicate with other "colleagues" head-on.

At this time, Cyborg has not completely changed his mentality, and is in an embarrassing period when he doubts his own human nature and cannot fully identify with his superhero identity.

The living box not only gave him a body that was fused with flesh and machinery, but also made him a "mechanical intelligent life form" in the true sense.

The steel bone can connect to the network in place, change the shape of the body, freely combine the shape of weapons, and can also directly become the king of the network world, with a super computer.Or the existence of super computer viruses, rampant in the world of the Internet.

Anything related to the online world is like a paper door that is only a form to the steel frame.

Through this ability of his own, he has never paid attention to the steel bones of superheroes and super criminals before, and has a good understanding of the unnoticed and hidden side of the world he lives in.

Really shocking.

If it weren't for the fact that he no longer has such things as stomach and stomach acid, he felt that he would definitely vomit on the spot.

Cyborg never felt that the world he lived in was so dangerous and dirty.

What I have to admit is that the existence of superheroes, which were relatively deformed in the cognition of the steel skeleton that was also called Victor, did ensure that many ordinary people would not be too bleak.

It is precisely because of this that he was born with the idea of ​​being a superhero.

At the same time, because of this, he was first passive and then active, and learned about the existence of many superheroes.

For example, the first two who had to be understood: Superman and Batman.

Among them, Batman is more likely to shock people than Superman.

He is actually an ordinary person!

Without a body of steel, great power, the ability to fly into the sky, no witchcraft and super technology, he just fought crime as a normal human being, and once became the last defender of Gotham.

Steel Gu felt that this was simply unbelievable, even to the point of being quite unreal.

At that time, Cyborg was encouraged and inspired to a certain extent. He felt that he should do the same, and he should rely on his stronger power to help Batman save the city of Gotham, and more cities, More people.

However, things changed a little later.

Steel Bone was on the Internet again and found a person named Lynn.

A complex existence that could be righteous or evil.

After a certain amount of curiosity was aroused by those unintelligible, increasingly outrageous news, which contained a lot of speculation and rumors, Cyborg paid attention to and understood the name Lynn for a long time.

This made him very regretful.

Lynn the man...

It is indeed complicated.

It is indeed difficult to judge good from evil.However, with Lynn's good relationship with many superheroes, Cyborg is still more inclined to say that he is a... [strangely nice guy].

It's just that maybe this good man's way of doing things is a bit evil, some... not so good.

The existence of Lynn made Cyborg begin to think more deeply about [superheroes].

Under such circumstances, Steel Bones prefers to be alone and do his own thing.

And the incident of the giant demon attacking the earth that time had a great impact on the steel skeleton who had just made a decision.

It turns out that those guys all know each other, and it turns out that they sometimes unite together to fight against the enemy.

Almost from that time, Cyborg realized that if he continued to maintain his status as a superhero, then sooner or later, he would also face such a choice, which was nothing more than the difference between active and passive.

Therefore, when the steel frame of Neptune swimming in the Internet finds that he is being followed by others, someone is searching for him, paying attention to him, looking for him, he knows that this may be that day.

In particular, the person looking for him is none other than Batman.

……

Taking the initiative to enter the trap, this is the way Cyborg chooses to enter the market.

He doesn't want to join any groups yet, and he doesn't want to communicate with other people, so his appearance is actually just to show his attitude, nothing more.

At this moment, Steel Bone was more concerned about the living, living iron box.

In the recent period, from the perspective of steel bones.The iron box that created him seems to be more... full of vitality.

"call……"

Unlike other superheroes, there may not be many people who live with their father even after becoming a superhero.

When Steel Bone returned home, he first carefully hid the sound and light that he might be discovered in mid-air, then slowly landed on the roof, and walked to his own floor along the fire iron ladder on the outside of the wall. Then he jumped to the window sill, and finally, he returned home.

"Looks like it's time to leave."

Steel Gu stood quietly by the window sill, looking around his dark house.

"Ah."

He let out a meaningless chuckle, as if he was laughing at himself or something.

As a superhero who went out late and returned early, his father actually came back later than him.

In fact, from the car accident that changed his life until now, Cyborg has never been able to forgive his father who was absent for most of his life.

Perhaps, if it wasn't for his lateness, the accident would not have happened, he would not have become like this, and his mother would not have died.

And now, even though the situation has become like this, his father who is obsessed with work is still the same as before, without any change.

It was as if, whether he became what he was now, or his mother's death, to his father, it was as if nothing had happened at all.

"..."

The mechanical legs moved and made a slight humming sound. The steel frame did not turn on the light, but walked into his room, stood at the door, and stared at his wardrobe.

The sound came not from his leg joints, but from the closet.

Cyborg knows what's in the closet.

That iron box.

The living iron box that gave him a second life.

It's what makes that sound.

After waiting for a while, the seemingly invisible voice disappeared, and Steel Bone stepped forward and opened the closet.

In the wardrobe, a square hexahedron that looks like an enlarged version of a metal dice is parked motionless on the compartment of the wardrobe, as quietly as an ordinary paper drawer box.

But Cyborg knows that this thing is not simple, it is definitely not a creation on earth.

This thing seems to be calling for something, or is it sending out some signal?Cyborg doesn't know, but facing this thing that brought him a second life, Cyborg has a serious and resistive face, which is a kind of... instinctive reaction.

This thing is very dangerous.

Gently closing the cabinet door, Steel Gu went to the desk and sat down.

He had the idea of ​​destroying this thing more than once.

However, this mysterious metal box is extremely hard, and there is absolutely no way to leave even the slightest trace on its surface.

And when Cyborg tries to destroy it with methods including laser and heat fusion, it will absorb the heat, and then slowly show a living form, start to vibrate continuously, and make a strange clank .

Cyborg had only tried this method once, and he was terrified, thinking that he might accidentally turn on some terrible switch.

Fortunately, nothing happened in the end.

For a completely indestructible thing, there is no need to choose any lock or safe to store it, so a wooden wardrobe is enough.

"Maybe, I should talk to Batman about this. Maybe, he'll have a way...

No, no.Based on what I know about Batman, he will, like me, continue to study this thing until one day he finds some strange law and releases something terrible.

What about Superman, maybe Superman can destroy this thing?no.

Superman, doesn't seem to display any magical or technological abilities, he's just... strong.Extremely pure and strong.

And... Wonder Woman?still……"

Cyborg thought of a name, but he was a little reluctant to mention it.

That guy who is so complicated that it's hard to tell whether he's right or wrong seems to have...an indelible sense of existence at any time.

It's like, like he always has a way to solve certain problems that other people can't face.

but.but!
Steel Bone quickly and directly vetoed his newly born thoughts.

"That guy may be a lunatic. If this kind of thing is handed over to him, it may be more dangerous than it exploding directly.

I can't do that, it's irresponsible to the planet. "

Then, after thinking about it, everything is back to the original point.

Steel Bone still has no way to deal with the living iron box, he can only put it in the closet, worrying and fearing for nothing.

Sitting quietly in front of the chair for a long time, it was almost midnight, but he was still the only one in the house.

After Cyborg became like this, he has completely lost pain, hunger, sleepiness... almost all these feelings, but he still feels empty and lonely, which is why he still insists that he is still a human being. One of the important bases.

Looking back at the closet, the steel frame stood up, walked to the window, opened the window again, leaped into the air, and flew out.

Maybe, only in this way can his life regain some meaning.

Be a superhero and save those more unbearable lives and fates.

……

People are flying in the air, and their "ears" are constantly receiving broadcast signals of various bands in the entire city, and at the same time they are invading a large number of cameras.

As a "humanoid supercomputer", Cyborg can process a lot of affairs at the same time with multiple perspectives and threads at a terrifying speed. Of course, this also includes analyzing countless video clips at the same time to find out what is happening Crime, and people in need, and quickly locate them.

"found it."

It is of course easy to find a criminal. What Cyborg needs to do is to analyze who needs help more, who is closer to him, and who can be helped by others.

Now, Cyborg has discovered a crime in progress.

It was a group of masked people, they were holding weapons, and they were chasing a guy covered in blood.

"Hold on, I'm here!"

Increase the horsepower, and the flying speed of the steel frame will increase by a certain amount, and it will soon arrive at the scene of the incident, which happens to be located on the south side of the civilian area, the most fringe area of ​​the entire city.

Coincidentally, this is also the place where he met Batman just now.

"Help! Help! Kill someone! Someone is in charge and no one is in charge!!"

A heart-piercing cry came from the mouth of the guy who was hunted down, and Steel Bones was a little surprised that this guy could run here so quickly.

Immediately checked with x-ray eyes, it is not fake.That guy was indeed seriously injured, and the wounds and blood on his body were not fake.

It should be... the effect of adrenaline.

As a result, Cyborg immediately landed from the air and stood on the road, blocking between that hapless guy and those who were chasing him.

"Get out of here, immediately!"

The steel bone raised the arm, the mechanical casing on the wrist lifted, and many various muzzles rose from the gap.

Those masked people, tall, short, fat, and thin, all stood there at this moment. After exchanging glances with each other, they said nothing, calmly put away the knives in their hands, and left slowly. .

"You...I..."

Cyborg wanted to say something, but there seemed to be nothing to say.

This seemed to be similar to what he had encountered before, but somewhat different.

"Oh my god, thank you for being here, hero!"

Behind him, the guy who survived the catastrophe patted his chest, stretched out a bloody hand, grinned and showed a mouthful of white teeth, and said with a bright smile: "Thank you very much, hello, my name is... my name is... Well...my name is Downey. Robert Downey."
