batman and red hood

Jason was riding on a tree while eating a hamburger while observing the warehouse not far away with a telescope.It's one of several places Bruce has pinpointed as a possible device stash for Penguin, and he's keeping an eye on that one while Bruce has other things to do at the moment.

"What's going on?"

The voice of Batman coming out of the communicator startled Jason. Although he had heard it many times, Jason still felt uncomfortable with the sudden hoarse voice.Jason was curious about how Bruce could make such a deep, hoarse voice. The frequency of that voice was so low that it didn't seem like a human could make it.

"No, the warehouse... seems to be working fine at the moment"

Jason wiped his mouth and said after hastily swallowing the last bite of the burger.

"Observe carefully, and report immediately if there is any movement"

"understood"

After the communication was cut off, Jason once again focused all his attention on the warehouse he was in charge of monitoring.

A few security guards walked back and forth outside the warehouse, but the warehouse was completely dark from the window.Bruce said Penguin probably hid the device here.

Jason stared at the warehouse in a bored way, thinking wildly. The Penguin has obtained the equipment, so his next step is the Sacred Heart gem that can be used as energy?Why didn't Bruce say a word about the gem?Wouldn't it be better to go to that store for a short stay?Or did Bruce have other plans?

While Jason was thinking wildly, a black car approaching from a distance caught his attention.I put the focus of the telescope on the car, but after seeing the people in the back seat of the car clearly, I can only be stunned in shock:

"The Riddler? Isn't he still in Arkham Asylum?"

Jason hurriedly connected to Bruce's communicator:

"Boo... Batman! The Riddler has escaped from Arkham"

"you sure?"

"Very sure, I can't be wrong"

Jason felt that he would never forget that sarcastic and self-righteous face.

"Stay where you are! Stay connected! Wait for me!"

Bruce said without a moment's pause. Jason's binoculars followed the black car until it stopped at the main entrance of the warehouse. After the Riddler got down from the top, he said something to the janitor and walked into the dark building. The warehouse disappeared from Jason's sight.

Jason stared at the warehouse that had returned to its previous state for a long time, thinking with some dissatisfaction:

【Can I just wait here and do nothing?what will dick do 】

There is no need to ask Jason to be sure that Dick will definitely run into the warehouse at this time, or at least try to get a bug to get in.But he can only wait here and wait for Bruce to come over?After thinking about it, Jason said in a low voice:

"Batman, the Riddler has entered the warehouse, I'll follow to see"

Then, without waiting for a feedback from Bruce, he cut off the communication without authorization and under the cover of night, Jason quietly approached the warehouse.

Bruce, who was in the Batmobile, suddenly received a signal from Jason, and Jason unilaterally cut off the communication before he could react.

"damn it!"

Bruce could only increase the speed of the car and drive towards the destination at a faster speed.

Jason quietly approached the warehouse under the cover of the moonlight, which was not difficult for him, even if he had not been trained by Bruce, he was already familiar with this kind of thing.

There are only 6 people guarding outside the warehouse, two guarding the front door and three on patrol, and one who seems to be the head is in charge of commanding.

The warehouse occupies a large area, and a patrol with only three people will definitely be empty.Jason cleverly avoided the security personnel by taking advantage of the patrol, found a suitable position and slipped into the warehouse through a half-open window. It was only at the moment when he slipped into the warehouse that Jason realized how much he loved the warehouse. ignorance.

From the outside it looks like the warehouse is already very big, but after entering the warehouse, it is discovered that there is a hole in the warehouse. A deep hole that is only slightly smaller than the outer wall of the warehouse has been dug here. Seeing the state of the ground floor, Jason, who came in from an abnormal channel, almost fell down without warning.

After barely finding a foothold, Jason could carefully observe the large machine placed in the cave.

"...Strange, this device is so big?"

Jason thought back to the research institute he and Bruce went to. From the outside, the size of the warehouse was just that big, but there was no such a huge hole in the warehouse of the research institute.Using the rope, Jason climbed to the steel corridor on the machine.

"...the pit is more than ten meters long."

Looking down from above, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen below. For a moment, Jason had the idea of ​​returning from the same way.

There was a slight vibration from the steel connecting beam, telling Jason that someone was coming.After Jason quickly found a blind spot to hide, two heavily armed men walked down from the corridor above.

"No wonder there are not many people patrolling outside, so there are also inside."

After looking around for a while, Jason felt that he needed to find the whereabouts of the Riddler quickly, but where could he find it in this dark environment?

Turning on the night vision function of the mask, Jason carefully walked along the mechanical shell to the bottom floor. After arriving at the bottom floor, he found a separate room on the wall, with faint light seeping through the crack in the door.

Jason walked towards the room carefully, but when he was about to reach the door, the door of the room opened suddenly and Jason had to hide in a hurry.A man who looked like a security guard came out. He left without closing the door. The sudden light made Jason's eyes with night vision goggles sting, so he turned off the night vision function and hid in the dark for a while. Relieves eye discomfort.

Jason carefully looked into the house. It was just a very ordinary room with a sofa and a table. There were a few cups on the table. This should be the security personnel's lounge.

Jason left the bottom floor in frustration and began to search upwards. The lighter weight was an advantage for Jason in this environment. The vibrations caused by his walking on the temporary steel stairs and bridges were negligible. .But the weight of the patrolling gate became Jason's natural alarm.With the help of the mechanically complicated structure, he cleverly avoided the patrols, and Jason walked up the stairs and searched for...

"Hey! What are you doing here!"

A voice came from above Jason's head, and the man's roar was particularly obvious in the dark and empty space.

"Tsk! We've been discovered!"
