Origin of all things Arkham

Chapter 287 This Man Must Be Crazy

"Ah!"

Star City, in the surrounding area of ​​a certain city, in the basement behind a large entertainment venue transformed from an old factory, Oliver, who had been busy for a day, suddenly felt the chill all over his body, shivered inexplicably, and a big sneeze made the workbench in front of him dry It's a mess.

"How did you do it?"

Raising his head, Oliver glanced at the ventilation duct, there was nothing wrong with it.

Taking a look at the thin short sleeves on his body, and thinking about what date it is now, Oliver felt that he must have caught a cold.

However, he didn't care about this.

During those two and a half years on Purgatory Island, he had already forcibly tempered a pampered and spoiled son of a rich family into a tough guy who could bite his teeth and hold back a knife.Oliver felt that he was able to return to the real world alive on Purgatory Island. It was not just a matter of luck. To put it bluntly, he was strong enough to act and strong enough, and his psychological quality was hard enough, which was also one of the important reasons.

but……

"Ugh."

Putting down the special arrowhead he was busy making, Oliver was a little... lost.

In Star City, on the surface, he is the number one successor to the Quinn Group. He is rich, powerful, and respectable. Anything that can be solved with money, he can solve.

In the dark, he is a superhero, the Green Arrow who walks in the dark and guards the city.He can shoot the muzzle of a gun with a bow and arrow from 100 meters away, or someone's finger that pulls the trigger, and he can defeat enemies ten times his own with cold weapons in his hands with his bare hands.

Both civil and military, almost means this.

Oliver felt that he, a superhero, was doing fairly well.

However, it also depends on who you compare with.

Oliver, who had already defeated the invincible opponent in Star City, seemed to have some invincible abilities when facing the guardians of other cities.

The Batman next door is an ordinary person like him, relying on human power to become a superhero, but his skills and the economic power he can leverage are completely different from him.

After all, that person is the leader of the Wayne Group, which is not lost to the Quinn Group, and he is just an heir after all.

heir.Those who have not yet inherited.

However, Batman is already the most likely person to be approached.What about the rest.It's not that Oliver hasn't investigated their information, it's not about deep thoughts, it's just curiosity and caution.

Let’s not mention Superman and Ms. Diana. Strictly speaking, neither of these two can be regarded as fully human beings, and are closer to gods walking in the world.

Cyborg, this is the person invited by Batman earlier than him, he is actually a metal warrior!It's a robot!Rubbing the electromagnetic gun with your hands is really no joke.

And the exclusive person who was invited after him, The Flash.What speed is that...

"Hey... who else is there, Neptune. Although I don't know much about it, I can tell from the name that this is an existence that can control water. Maybe it's the incarnation of Poseidon."

Oliver thought of his experience of making soy sauce when he went to encircle and suppress the big red devil last time.

On the battlefield at that time, when everyone was under control, it was a green-skinned colleague named Martian Manhunter who was under pressure all the time, fighting the big devil one-on-one for almost the whole time, and finally managed to get to Lin En, who was nothing The weak, at least they are stronger than him, many times stronger.

I don't know why Batman didn't invite this one to join in, but when it comes to that battle, Oliver has to think of Lynn.

"call……"

This is the only good news.

Lynn was also not on the list of invitations to form a team.

Oliver is not a fool. On the contrary, he can guard a city by himself, which shows that his strength is not only reflected in force. Batman has Alfred as his assistant. Oliver has always been working hard by himself. .

Mind dexterity, this is already a must-have ability for a superhero fighting alone.

How could Oliver, who is so intelligent, fail to see that Lynn has always treated him a little...

Don't like it?

Not to mention, because from the beginning to the end, Lynn has indeed been helping him, helping him clean the city, although his methods are a bit radical, and some... all-round attacks regardless of each other.

However, Lynn did not hurt the innocent.

He's just a little... Blame him for not living up to expectations.Blame him for being weak.Blame him for being incompetent.

"Ugh……"

Shaking his head, Oliver sighed again: "I don't want to do this either. Huh! No matter what, I still stick to my own ideas and practices. I also know that I will guard this city alone, even if no one understand……

Lin En, please don't come to help me, there are some things that I have to face alone..."

drop~ drop~ drop~
Next to the workbench, beside the rows of computers, the same rows of alarms sounded.

This is a system related to Star City police that Oliver used his money offensive to get from somewhere.

As long as the alarm is detected and intercepted, this thing will remind him like this.

"So, it's time again."

There was no expression on Oliver's face, like a machine that followed a program.The city sees a problem, sees an intruder, and it's time for him to play.

He quickly changed his clothes, made a final check on his bow and arrow, and put on the corresponding equipment. When the dark green hood was buckled on top of his head, Oliver had completed his identity change.

Now, he's the Guardians of Star City, Robin Hood, and Arrow.

The lights were turned off, there was the sound of the door opening and closing softly, and the basement fell silent.

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

It was cold and windy outside the window, but it was warm and pleasant inside.

However, at this time, everyone in the room should not care about the temperature. They are more concerned about whether they can get out of this room alive and whether they can feel the wind and snow again.

There are five people in the house.

An old man sitting by the fireplace, a young man standing beside him, two middle-aged men standing by the window, and one sitting at the door, all in black, with a head as big as... It's not a bucket anymore, it's a pot.

"So, how much money did they give you to make you feel that it's worth taking a risk to betray me."

The whole body is pitch black, and it is a high-tech diving suit attached to the body surface. The oblate oblate on the neck, which looks like a horizontal football, is a helmet that can emit energy rays.

Obviously, the person sitting at the door had just been caught and escaped not long ago, the guy whose real name was David and who called himself Black Bat Ben.

Judging from the current situation on the court, it is not difficult to analyze that this is a revenge.A revenge after being betrayed and imprisoned, after a successful escape.

"It's none of their business."

Sitting by the fireplace, the old man with a solemn face said, "It was I who gave your news to those people."

"Oh~~! Haha, it's really you."

It may be because the helmet isolating part of the sound. When the sound of the black bat was heard outside, it sounded very strange, a little hoarse and sharp.

"Hahahaha, old guy, it really is you."

He raised his hand, and with a bang, a big red spot appeared on the chest of the young man beside the old man. It gradually spread, as if taking away the young man's strength, causing him to tremble and fall to the ground, his eyes lost their color .

"Oh, I seem to miss it. Old man, I really wanted to hit your head just now."

The old man remained silent, but kept looking at the black bat with fierce eyes.

"Don't look at me like that, you know, I was most afraid of your eyes like this before."

Bang.

There was another gunshot, and the person standing by the window was also shot in the chest. After vainly trying to grab something with his hands, but unable to hang down, he still fell on his back on the ground.

"Damn it! Falk!"

Another guy standing by the window cursed and suddenly took a step forward, pulled out a large-caliber shotgun from under the table, and aimed two shots at the black bat sitting there.

Flames, thick smoke, flying red bullet casings, raised muzzles...

Black Bat Ben just sat there without moving, allowing himself to be aimed at by the shotgun, covered by those vicious lead shot and steel balls, and covered by the thick smoke.

"ah!"

After the two shots were fired, the man swung the gun upside down, raised his arms high, plunged into the smoke, and smashed the weapon in his hand head-on.

swoosh...

After a soft sound, a red light flashed through the thick smoke.

The smoke cleared.

With a bang, the shotgun fell from his powerless hands to the ground, and a transparent hole appeared in his chest, emitting a scorched black smell, dripping sticky black blood and other disgusting, horrible things.

It seemed to be part of the heart, possibly the lungs.

thump.

The man who was still strong just now fell to the ground, lying on top of the shotgun he pulled out from under the table.

The old man in front of the fireplace once again saw the black bat sitting there, and saw the red light still remaining on his mask.

"They are all your former friends... how can you bear it!"

"friend?"

Heibaben seemed to have heard something interesting, and laughed a few times: "So he was joking with me when he hit me with a gun just now~
Old man, you are still so confused, you are still so stupid.However, now your first mate is not going to help you solve the problem. He has been dead since the day you betrayed me. "

The old man remained silent, but looked sadly at the young man lying at his feet, who was gradually approaching death.

"Let him go, he really doesn't know anything, he's just a stranger who came here to give me a blanket.

I beg you, let him go, please. "

Putting down his upturned feet, Heiba ​​stood up, walked to the old man step by step, and glanced at his broken legs.

"Old man, I am very grateful to you for pulling me out of the sea, really, I really appreciate you.

But you really shouldn't, shouldn't have betrayed me. "

The old man's eyes dimmed, and then became sharp again, and he looked at the first officer hiding behind the armor and helmet with resentment: "I don't regret reporting you! I only regret that I fished you out of the sea back then! "

"Hahahaha, you are finally willing to tell the truth, hahaha! Don't worry, old man, soon, soon I will send your son to see you. He was very dissatisfied with me at the beginning, and I still remember it. "

"What are you going to do! You bloody ghost, you're going to hell! You..."

Buzz.

The red light flickered, and the nauseating stench became stronger by three points.

Looking at the headless corpse of the old man, the red light gradually dimmed on the eyes of the black bat mask.

"Cough...cough...help..."

His lungs were severely injured, and the dying young man couldn't even lift his hands, and only let out intermittent cries for help in a daze.

This scene, I don't know if it will remind Black Bat Ben of himself who escaped from the ship that kidnapped him, soaked in the sea for two days, and almost died.

Lifting his foot, it landed heavily on the young man's injured chest. The black bat put his foot away and looked down.

died.

Apparently, he doesn't have much to say about recollection.

Walk out the door and close the door gently.The black bat walked out of the room slowly, leaving behind a long series of black and red footprints.

After ten minutes.

A van stopped not far from here.

Lynn got out of the car, with his hands still on a man's neck, pushing him out of the car as well.

"Is this it?"

"Y-should be..."

"You shouldn't."

"Yes! This is it! This is the captain's home! My informant said that he was the one who saved the water ghost, and he was the one who made the report call!"

"Well, good job."

Lynn patted this guy on the shoulder with satisfaction: "You are much more professional than those in Gotham. They are just a formality, and you are the real professional. Leave a call, and I will call you again in the future."

"Ah... ah?"

"You don't have a cell phone?"

"I, I didn't... I did... Did I..."

"you are not willing……"

Lynn looked at him quietly.

Without hesitation, a string of phone numbers came out.

Lin En nodded in satisfaction: "Don't be fake, otherwise I will offer a reward to your colleagues. Whoever finds you, I will grant him a wish, you know."

"……Um."

"Let's go. Next time we cooperate~"

After a while of trotting, he got into the car, started on the spot with burnt tires, the wheels creaked, and ran away in a hurry without closing the door.

"Cut, what technology."

Lynn cast a disdainful glance over there: "Isn't there a car, what is it for? Who are you going to show it to?"

After reading a few words brokenly, Lynn stepped on the snow and walked towards the house of the retired old captain.

clang clang ~
"Hello."

Lynn knocked on the door politely: "Is anyone home?"

Taking two steps back, I looked into the room: "Isn't there a light... I came in by myself!"

There was a click.The door was removed by Lynn, and after entering the door, he turned around and installed it again.

"Hello, may I ask... what's the smell in your room?"

Looking down, Lynn saw bloody footprints on the ground.

Crunching on the wooden floor, Lynn followed the footprints and walked out of the entrance hall, and saw the fireplace burning with flames at a glance.

And the dead body in front of the fireplace.

Taking a few steps forward, Lynn looked around and sighed: "It's late."

It's not such a coincidence, it must have been done by the black bat.

At this time, a siren sounded outside the door.

"Listen, people in the house! Hurry up..."

"Ok?"

Lynn looked left and right, and suddenly realized something.

"I'm going out now, I don't seem to be able to explain clearly...

Oops!I'm a stand-in! "

How good is this!

With an idea, Lynn took out a pen and began to write on the wall.

"I have read scriptures and history since I was a child, and when I grow up, I have power. Just like a tiger lying on a barren hill, hiding its minions to endure...

grass!This is not popular here! "

Quickly crossed it out, and continued to write: "The murderer...the black bat...is that ben?

grass!What Chinese characters! "

cross out cross out!

……

After the people outside the door broke in, they first saw the corpse on the ground, and after being shocked, they naturally saw the...

Garbled characters.

And, the following sentence.
