batman and red hood

There was a sound of fighting in the narrow alley, occasionally mixed with a few muffled grunts.After Batman knocked the last villain to the ground, he picked up a small cylindrical container with a metal shell from the ground, put it in his belt, and ignored the few villains who were still lying on the ground humming They turned and left the alley.

Tonight's harvest is not much, but it is crucial. The scarecrow's new gas sample.

But this is not enough. So far, Batman knows too little about the clues about the poisonous gas. As far as the information in his hands is concerned, only one of the world's top experts has disappeared.Of course, the Scarecrow is also an expert in the spiritual and chemical fields. It would be even better if he could use his knowledge on the right path.

But the missing one is not Professor Jonathan Klein, but another one, Esma Claude, who has the absolute right to speak in the field of biological nervous system.

Not long after Professor Esma disappeared, he got the news that the Scarecrow had developed a new type of nerve gas. So far, the number of victims is 5.Nervous atrophy occurred without exception... No, strictly speaking, it was not atrophy. The results of the medical puncture test proved that although the activity of nerve cells was reduced, it was still within the normal range.It's just that there is a problem in the process of nerve signal transmission, so that the brain can't control the body.

Among the 5 victims, the one with the mildest symptoms looked like he was paralyzed in the lower body, completely unable to control the lower body; while the one with the most serious condition was almost diagnosed as a vegetable, if his mother insisted that his The son sent distress signals through his eyes, but he never gave up seeking medical treatment. Finally, after the EEG and several authoritative experts in brain, neurology, and biology confirmed that he could indeed hear and I can see it, but unfortunately he can't respond, not because he doesn't know how to respond, but because the response signal he made cannot be transmitted normally.

According to the victim's statement, they all received a letter, and after opening the letter, they suddenly felt numb in their arms, and then developed into what they are now.

Although the most serious victim could not speak, according to his mother, he also received a letter, and he also had the habit of licking his fingers after tearing open the envelope bag so that he could rub it open That's probably why his symptoms are so severe.

The new type of poisonous gas sample has been obtained, and Batman urgently needs to rush back to conduct an in-depth analysis of the poisonous gas. In addition to finding the scarecrow and the missing professor, researching the antidote as soon as possible is also a top priority now.

While Batman was thinking about his next plan in his mind, he walked towards the place where he hid the Batmobile.

The narrow and dark corner is surrounded by surrounding buildings, and there is not even a window on the wall facing the alley.This kind of dead corner is everywhere in this city. The ancient history of the city has created such an unplanned and chaotic old block, and this is one of the reasons why the crime rate in Gotham City remains high.

When approaching the Batmobile, a strange phenomenon brought back Batman's thoughts immersed in the plan, and he had to stop approaching.

The blue pupil hidden behind the goggles narrowed, as if to make sure that he did not have some kind of hallucination because he came into contact with the scarecrow's poisonous gas sample.Batman took out his special mobile phone, and the screen of the mobile phone quietly displayed several signs that he was very familiar with, but there was no sign alert that he expected to see.

The Batmobile is hidden in a nearby location when he's on the move, just to make sure some of his "friends" don't do something to his car while he's away, like planting a tracker or a bomb. For things like this, the Batmobile is covered with sensors, and if there is anything abnormal, it will call the terminal in his hand to call the police, but at this moment the terminal in his hand does not have any prompts.

Instead of approaching the car directly, Batman hid himself in a dark corner and watched carefully to make sure it wasn't a trap.

Soon a figure stood up from the back of the car, not a strong man or a familiar face as Batman had expected.

It's just an ordinary boy who looks like a teenager. His thin body shows that he has been malnourished for a long time. In this late autumn season, he is wearing a dirty white T-shirt that doesn't fit at first glance, and his dirty face The machine oil that should have been attached to the bearing was still rubbing on the face, and a wrench was held in the watery hand that was lifted up to wipe the forehead...

Obviously, the wheel that has been separated from the main body of the Batmobile lying on the ground next to it should be the boy's masterpiece.

Batman frowned. The welfare homes under the Wayne Group should not reject any children, and there are always volunteers looking for such children on the street, bringing them back to the welfare homes, so as to prevent them from becoming vagrants. victim of crime.

So... the kid was missing out?Or some other reason?

Batman stood quietly behind the boy, and said in a deep voice:

"You should know it's the Batmobile"

The sudden voice from behind startled the boy, and he turned around in horror to look at the ghost-like man, those big green eyes were a little scared but more calm.

Batman walked towards the boy slowly, but when he was less than an arm's length away from the boy, he was attacked by the boy, and the hand that had been hiding behind his back took the wrench and slammed into Batman's stomach fiercely. come over.

Batman didn't dodge. Although he looked vicious, the impact on his body couldn't even make his eyebrows frown. The slender arms showed that the boy had been malnourished for a long time. A wrench, but that punch doesn't even tickle an itch for Batman's gear.

Batman stretched out his hand and easily picked up the kid who attacked him and his car.Very light weight, let alone Batman, any adult male will not have too much difficulty lifting this weight.

The kid's stubborn eyes couldn't hide his fear, but even so he didn't take his eyes off Batman's face, which slightly aroused Batman's competitiveness.

A hungry bowel sound came, breaking the tense atmosphere, and a blush slowly appeared on the kid's pale face.

"Are you hungry?"

Batman let go of the boy and instead took out of the car the two sandwiches Alfred had prepared for him for a late-night snack, and handed one of them to the boy.The boy didn't take it, and still stared at him vigilantly, even though his stomach growled louder after smelling the sandwich.

"...Oh? Don't you want to eat?"

Batman put a sandwich to his mouth, took a bite, then waved it in front of the boy and said:

"delicious…"

Before he finished speaking, the boy snatched the sandwich he bit into, turned and ran into the fork, and quickly disappeared under the cover of night.

Batman didn't go after her, it was very easy for him to find the boy, but now he had more important things to deal with.

Batman stared at the Batmobile, which was missing two tires and one was in the process of being removed, before sending a message to the Batcave.Soon a large cargo box truck stopped at the alley, dragged the Batmobile into the box and drove into the night...

"Master Bruce, I still don't understand why he can remove the tire without triggering the alarm?"

In the Batcave, Alfred has not recovered from the news he just received. The Batmobile has sensor alarms from the inside to the outside, from top to bottom, and he has just checked that the sensor did not happen. Fault.

"The sensor is not attached to the junction of the tire and the bearing"

"But if you disassemble violently..."

"Ah Fu, that child is too thin and his strength is very small. In order to prevent false alarms, the sensor will not regard the feeling of too low strength as an alarm, and because he did not disassemble violently, although it took a little effort but The action is very skillful."

"...I understand, I will send a message to Lucius to make him make up for this blind spot as soon as possible, but generally speaking, no one will only disassemble the wheels after discovering the Batmobile..."

This is a busy spot indeed, considering how Batman's enemies usually behave, the sensors on the Batmobile are only there to watch for things like being sabotaged, towed away, planted with bombs, bugs, trackers, etc... but they also Didn't think anyone would just hit the wheel idea after seeing the Batmobile...

"Master Bruce, what are you looking for?"

Seeing Bruce keep searching for something on the computer as soon as he came back, Alfred was a little strange.

"Ah Fu, I remember that Wayne has been taking in street children."

"Of course, sir, Wayne's orphanage has thousands of volunteers who are dedicated to finding homeless children, but that doesn't mean there won't be any missing ones, of course there is another possibility..."

Alfred knew why Bruce asked that.

"I knew that if he wasn't an orphan or a street child, there was a good chance he was someone's child"

Bruce went into Gotham Criminal Records instead. That kid was definitely not new to removing tires. He must have done it more than once, and he might get caught once or twice.

Although there are many records in the archives, there are very few people with red hair and green eyes. The system will feed back the search results after a while.

Looking at the feedback records, the father is a low-level person who can be seen everywhere in Gotham. He has done almost everything except murder, and the mother is unknown.

Looking at the thin boy in the photo in the record, with messy hair, dirty face, holding a number plate that every criminal will hold in his hand, below is his criminal record... so far the record is only theft.

"...sir, I don't think the kid is doing well"

Looking at the photo, Alfred expressed his feelings.
