batman and red hood

Chapter 57 Going Alone

Batman has been following the car, and if his guess is correct, the destination of the car should be where Two-Face is.

Because he exposed his whereabouts during the day to avoid being discovered, Batman's tracking encountered a lot of obstacles compared to night.He lost track of the car several times, but fortunately, there are dense surveillance cameras nearby which provided him with great convenience.

"Head, that black bat is after us"

"Get rid of him!"

"Impossible, he's Batman"

"It's daytime to get rid of him. He didn't use the Batmobile or the Batmobile to show that he didn't want us to find out. He pretended not to know and got rid of him."

"……Listen to you"

The black van shuttled back and forth on the maze-like city roads, walking west and east for a while, Batman stood on the roof of a high-rise building and stared at the black van that looked like a headless fly, squinting his eyes.

"Looks like I've dropped him"

I didn't see the black shadow in the rear mirror several times, so I happily reported.

"...in case you go around twice and then turn around"

"it is good"

Getting rid of Batman made the driver very excited, and even the car drove much more briskly.The black van left the urban area along the road and drove towards a high-end villa area in the suburbs until it entered a white building.

"How are things going?"

"What about people?!!"

The double-toned voice characteristic of double-faced people roared harshly when a group of people entered the room.

"The mayor is still speaking, we are still waiting for the opportunity"

"Of course I know, he's still speaking"

"But I'm getting impatient, let them find a way to make a fuss, let this guy leave early!!"

The double-faced man was staring at the TV live broadcasting the mayor's speech, tossing the old coin lightly with his right hand, no matter which face it was, there was a hint of impatience.

This made his subordinates swallow unconsciously, for fear that the lunatic would pull out a machine gun and kill them all in the next second.

"I made them act immediately"

After winking at a guy next to him, he changed the subject to Batman.

"Head, our actions were discovered by that bat. He was following us on the way back, but we lost it"

"...Get rid of it?"

"Fools! Why are you coming back?"

"You can't get rid of him"

"Get out and watch outside immediately!"

"He might have come here"

"You useless trash!!!"

As soon as the two-faced man's voice fell, the sound of glass windows shattering rang out, and a black shadow broke through the window from the outside.

The subordinates of the double-faced man all pointed their guns at the incoming person nervously, but the double-faced man said indifferently with a look that he had expected for a long time:

"I guessed you'd find it here"

"What a lingering piece of trash!"

For the provocation of the double-faced man, Batman didn't care at all, and asked in a deep, hoarse, and cold voice:

"What is your purpose in kidnapping the mayor?"

Two-face is a really crazy guy. He can't control his personality, but when he can control himself, he will become an ally of the police and Batman. For Batman, he is a kind of enemy and friend. .

No matter which personality of the double-faced man occupies the dominant position, it cannot change the fact that his purpose is only money.At least that's what it looks like on the surface.

Most of Double-Face's criminal record is bank robbery, followed by arms and drug trafficking, and then kidnapping for ransom. In short, his behavior is very similar to that of Black Mask, so it is also similar to Black Mask. There are many transactions.No matter how you look at it, his purpose is only one money.

This fits well with people's perception of normal criminals.

The explanation of the psychiatrist of the double-faced man is that human personality always includes both good and evil, but Hal's good side is too strong to restrain his own evil side when he is rational, so This separated personality is the combination of desire and malice that Harvey himself usually suppresses.Naturally, money, which Harvey was most dismissive of when he was sober, became the main purpose of this personality composed of sins.

What Batman couldn't figure out was why Harvey kidnapped the mayor. This kind-looking fat man is actually very similar to Harvey...the former Harvey.

But he is much more sophisticated than the young and vigorous Harvey, and he handles things more smoothly, so he avoids many conflicts.

If you try to kidnap him for ransom, I'm afraid it will be very difficult. The mayor's family can't afford the price offered by the double-faced man; and the finances will need to go through various procedures to pay for the money. It is impossible for the interviewer to have the patience to wait for the result.

"...This has nothing to do with you!!! Batman!!!"

……

Jason sat sullenly on the roof with a binoculars and continued to watch under the tree. Several people still stood under the tree without any other actions.

“奇怪?怎么少了两个人?1、2、3、4、5……”

I took a telescope and reconfirmed that the number of people was indeed two fewer.Originally, there were seven people standing under the tree, of course not including the one who got away.

"Where the hell did you go?"

The field of view of the telescope radiated from the stage to the surroundings, and Jason carefully identified the faces in the crowd.

"Is the double-faced man going to attack the mayor? Assassinate? Or kidnap?"

Jason thought about this question, and the two different ways would depend on how the other party would act.

"If it's kidnapping, there must be a car."

Jason stood up to ensure that his vision could be higher, to see which intersection nearby had the conditions for easy escape, close to the stage, and no police guards.

"I found it~"

Through the gap between the two buildings that could barely be called an alley, Jason saw a fancy van parked at the opposite alley.

"It seems to be kidnapped, this is what the two-faced man did."

Taking out the claws, Jason changed to a roof that would make it easier to take action against an "alley", and squatted down.

The mayor's speech is coming to an end, and then the government deliberately arranged a session for the mayor to interact with the public. During this session, the public can ask the mayor questions, and reporters can also, because they want to interact with the public. At this time, the police The security work is the weakest. Except for the two policemen who are following the mayor, the rest of the policemen will stay away from the mayor. Jason feels that if the two-faced people don't do anything at this time, then the whole incident will be ruined. The kidnapping case is basically over.

"Oh, it's time to move on"

Jason saw through the binoculars that the five lazily standing under the tree started to move, and he got into a problem.

"Oops, tell Batman?"

God knows how far Batman is from here now, not to mention that the crowd that started the commotion didn't give Jason any more choices.

"Mr. Mayor, what benefits can this project bring to the people?"

"As I said just now, the benefits brought by this project to the people are not short-term. In the long run, it will provide nearly [-] jobs for the entire Gotham City."

"Mr. Mayor, how are the [-] jobs determined?"

"This project itself will not provide so many jobs, but the additional industries related to this project can provide so many jobs together."

"Mr. Mayor, can I take a photo with you?"

"Oh my little beauty, of course"

The chubby mayor picked up the short little girl and faced the flash of the camera with her.

"Mr. Mayor please shake my hand"

"certainly"

Without hesitation, he shook a hand protruding from the crowd, and then went to answer other people's questions.

"Oh, this is not good"

Jason could see clearly from a high place. Whether it was intentional or not, the mayor slowly moved towards the "best" alley among the crowd.

"There is no way, Batman must be too late now"

Flipping through the things in his belt, he probably made a plan, found a remote location and lowered it from the roof to the ground with the hook lock, thinking about the best location he just found and ran over.

I don't know who threw a cannon in the crowd and caused the crowd to riot. The police noticed the strangeness and planned to protect the mayor when he left, but found that the dense and panicked crowd pushed the short mayor farther and farther away. .

The police hurriedly approached the mayor against the crowd leaving in a panic, and at the same time they also found the guys who were also approaching the mayor against the crowd.The position of these guys has an advantage, and they approached the mayor before the police, and then a gunshot caused a greater riot in the crowd.

Mr. Mayor, whom Jason jokingly called the albino penguin, found himself surrounded by a few people with bad intentions, he could only face the black muzzle of the gun:

"Mr. Winster, we have an invitation, please come with us"

The police who finally arrived hurriedly evacuated the nearby crowd and surrounded the guy who was trying to kidnap the mayor.

"Don't move!"

A tall man in red clothes pointed a pistol directly at the mayor's head and warned the surrounding policemen, while dragging the mayor towards the alley surrounded by several accomplices.

Jason hid in the dark and watched those people enter the alley. They walked in a hurry. If they dragged on for too long, the police would block off the other end of the alley, but that "alley" was too narrow Yes, the mayor's obese body prevented them from passing together, so they had to adjust their methods and walked into the alley one by one.

"almost"

Jason watched everyone enter the alley and started to act.

"What exactly do you want?"

The mayor tried his best to keep calm and asked the other party's purpose.

"Let's talk about this kind of thing after you meet us."

"Who is your head?"

"...This kind of thing is not something you can ask now, don't give me any tricks, hurry up! You fat pig"

The hand pinching the mayor's neck exerted a little strength, shattering the mayor's desire to delay.

"what?"

Something fell from above, which attracted the attention of several people. Before everyone could see clearly, the thing that fell on the ground suddenly emitted a thick gas.

The gas quickly diffused along this narrow alley, blocking everyone's sight.

"Oops!"

"Didn't that guy go after the boss?"

"Ha, who are you looking for?"

Suddenly, from an invisible environment, the voice of a young man whose voice has not yet been changed is heard.

"Damn it, it's his servant"

The mayor was so choked by the smog that he couldn't open his eyes. He could only hear the sound of fighting and howling.

I don't know who fired a shot, and the man who pointed the gun at his head cursed angrily:

"Want to kill us, find that brat"

In the confusion, the mayor felt someone grabbed his hand and pulled him to run in one direction.

After leaving the smoke, the mayor found out that the boy holding his hand was a boy who looked only twelve or thirteen years old. His iconic clothes and mask were enough to identify him.

"Okay, it's safe here"

Jason glanced at the terrified mayor, took out the hook and shot at the nearby wall, and flew away from this place of right and wrong like a Robin bird just like his name.

"Oh my God, it's Robin!"

……

"Hi! Our big star!"

In the evening, Dick ran over out of nowhere, holding a newspaper, smiling, and hugging Jason's neck while talking.

"what?"

It didn't make Jason so happy when those words came out of Dick's mouth.

"look"

Dick unfolded the newspaper in his hand, and showed him the photo that occupied almost 2/3 of the page.

"Oh... oops"

The moment Jason saw the newspaper headline, he regretted it.The title "Wonder Boy Saves the Mayor" was written in huge fonts, and it was impossible for people to ignore his content.His picture took up 2/3 of the page, and from the perspective it must have been taken while he was away.

"Jason"

Bruce's voice came from the computer, causing Jason to shrink his neck.

"Don't worry, we get photographed all the time too, you know the paparazzi are everywhere"

Dick comforted Jason.

"But it's not so close"

Jason complained in a low voice. Of course he knew what Dick said. He had seen a lot of photos of Batman and Robin in the newspapers before, but most of them were secretly taken from a distance. Before taking such a clear picture of his appearance...Jason felt that his short Robin career could be over.

Walking up to Bruce, squinting at Bruce's expression, he was surprised to find the corner of Bruce's mouth slightly raised.

"Master Bruce, if you keep pretending, Master Jason is about to cry."

Alfred unceremoniously pierced Bruce's deliberately disguised serious face.

In the end Bruce gave up pretending to be serious, stretched out his hand and rubbed Jason's head and said:

“Well done”

Then he got up and walked towards the elevator leading to Wayne Manor, saying:

"There's a dinner party tonight, and you're going to come with me"

"...can you teach me how to tie a bow tie?"

Jason, who finally came to his senses, happily jumped over and hung on Bruce's back.

"Let Alfred teach you how to tie a bow tie is certified by the British Royal. Also, come down Jason"

"no"

Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Dick said with a twitching corner of his mouth:

"Hey! This kid has learned to cheat, and Bruce spoils him too much."

"This shows that Master Jason no longer regards himself as an outsider, which is a good thing. Also, you have to attend Master Dick's dinner tonight"

"Hey? Can I not go?"

"No, the other party invited the whole Wayne family"

"……Oh fine!"
