[Zhongyingmei] If you don't dig a hole, you will die

Hetty was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the voice. After listening intently for a while, she found that no one answered, so she whispered, "Are you asking me?"

When she answered the man's question, she also secretly raised her vigilance:

Before this person uttered his voice, what had been shrouding this place was complete boundless darkness and dead silence.

Even if she has been in this place for a long time, theoretically speaking, she should have gotten used to the darkness long ago. As long as there is still a little light here, she can vaguely see the outline of the object——

However, it does not.

In a normal room, even if the doors and windows are closed and the curtains are drawn at night when you can't see your fingers, there will still be a little natural light flooding the room.

But this room is completely insulated from the word "normal", it's like a cage, and it's still the kind used to deal with immortal enemies:

While completely isolating the people inside from the outside world, it is also necessary to mentally crush the people imprisoned inside by cutting off the light source and sound.

However, as long as you think about it in reverse, you can know how unusual this person's question is:

In the case of being completely invisible, he felt that there was someone more in the room just by hearing.

Seemingly surprised by Heidi's rhetorical question, when the man spoke again, he was full of questions: "You are neither from Gotham, nor have you committed a crime, so why are you here?"

Hetty was startled.She just said a word, and this person has judged a part of her/identity. This kind of shrewd feeling that makes people feel chills can only be brought to her by those guys headed by Batman:

"How did you figure out that I'm not from Gotham? What nonsense, I'm living in Gotham right now—"

"Come on, silly girl, don't pretend to be stupid with me, I won't eat you." The owner of the voice sneered mercilessly: "Teach you to be good, Gotham people won't let him in this kind of place." Mom has to pay attention to the use of words and sentences."

Hetty already had an answer in her heart. In order to prove her conjecture, she asked, "In other words, this is Arkham?"

"It's the lowest floor of Arkham." The man was silent for a while, then said to Hetty, "Go, turn on the light for me."

Hetty: Is there a light in this room?Then why didn't he open it, and let himself be immersed in the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers?

But she didn't ask the question, because a more important question began to creep into her mind:

Why is his voice so familiar?

In order to let Heidi know where the light is and avoid detours, the man added: "Go straight to the right, the only switch on the wall is there."

At that time, Hetty hadn't had time to make any big noises, so he could tell by just his hearing that there was an extra person in this cage-like room. From this point of view, he must have undergone some special training. person.

That being the case, his combat effectiveness is definitely not bad. Compared to an out-and-out ordinary person like Hetty, he is at the level of instant kills. If he wants to torture her, he has already started doing it. There is no need to talk nonsense with her so much. until now.

So Hetty walked to the wall on the right hand step by step.Sure enough, I touched something like a switch on the cold wall.

When she exerted her strength, she heard a slight "click", and the room was instantly filled with light. It seemed that this person did not lie to her, and there was indeed a light in this room.

It's just that the brightness of this lamp is not very high, and the wiring is not very optimistic. It just started to flicker on and off after such a short period of time. People sincerely worry whether it will go out in the next second.

This level of light is definitely very dim in normal times. I am afraid that it will be no problem to use it directly in the haunted house to create a gloomy and treacherous atmosphere.

But for Hetty who has just been groping in the dark for a long time, this brightness is enough.

She turned around immediately, wanting to see who the person who had been talking to her was, but the moment she saw the face of the person in front of her, she froze, her mind went blank, and she was stuck in a thousand words. larynx, but I can’t speak a word, and I can’t even think:

Hetty had seen this face countless times before, and they had just waved goodbye in the evening light.

That was Jason's face.

However, this is not the place where Hetty feels the most thunderous and unable to think:

This face belonged to Jason, judging from his tone and voice, it was also Jason himself.

However, the letter "J" has been branded on the side of his cheek, and it can be seen that it was burned red with a soldering iron.

Because around the scar that was about to heal completely, there were many tight, thin, light-colored scars that would only remain under high-temperature burning.

Even the sudden sense of weightlessness and dizziness she felt before made Heidi so dizzy——

This is another Jason Todd.

It's Arkham Knight, if it's more accurate.

The Joker of this world sent Batman the videotape of him killing Jason.So Batman mistakenly thought that Jason was dead, so he gave up his rescue;

However, the clown did not actually kill Jason. Instead, he locked him in Arkham and tortured him day after day, making him unable to live or die. It seems that in this way, he can retaliate This second-generation Robin came to avenge the dark knight far away in the Batcave.

No one can survive this long and endless torment.What's more, Jason was just a teenager at that time?

In the end, his spirit collapsed, and the path he insisted on was also distorted under extreme pain. All the beliefs he had insisted on were distorted into anger against Batman——

He became the one who could get along with the Joker, teamed up with the Scarecrow, took over Black Mask's assets, and became the Arkham Knight, the Arkham Knight who could stand up to Batman both publicly and in private.

Hetty suddenly felt like crying.

She carefully looked at the person in front of her, and felt that those green eyes were both familiar and unfamiliar. Although there was no killing intent in them, there was no warmth at all, as faint as a boundless dark forest that never saw the sun again. .

Even when looking at her, Arkham Knight didn't waver at all, as if he was looking at something precious and rare.Even if you are interested in it right now, you can abandon it at any time.

A thought crossed her mind.This ephemeral, short-lived and small thing that should have been like a fleeting image quietly took root in her heart:

If only I had come earlier, if only I could have helped you, this is not something he should suffer as a hero.

When he first became the second-generation Robin, he was so full of vigor and vitality, full of blood and justice.

When he was still a teenager, he had prematurely taken on this dangerous and unrewarding job for all the people in this city.It is said that good people are rewarded with good rewards, so if this is the case...

If there is really a god in the world who can listen to people's appeals and see into the sufferings of the world, it will definitely give him a chance, right?

They were still watching each other silently, but compared to Hetty's mixed feelings, the Arkham Knight was obviously much calmer.

After he looked the girl who suddenly appeared in front of him up and down, he said casually: "You are so stupid, little girl. Do what others tell you to do."

Hetty knew that when the Arkham Knight got along with the clown, his whole person was not normal——

It’s still polite to say that, it’s not an exaggeration to say that he’s just below the clown’s level of insanity——

So when he suddenly heard him speak in such a normal tone, he didn't know how to answer for a while, and after a long while, he whispered: "Oh..."

Hetty didn't want to reveal too much information about herself in this dangerous environment, so she only answered a rather simple word. She felt that even if Sherlock Holmes and Watson were reincarnated together, there was no way to extract from this extremely concise word. Come out with more information.

However, she never expected that this answer would arouse more interest in Arkham Knight.

He was originally sitting on a metal chair. Although his sitting posture seemed very relaxed, leaning against the back of the chair, there was not a single muscle in his body that was not smooth. The whole person seemed to be lurking in a low bush Like a leopard ready to attack at any time, it is full of incomparable but quietly lurking dangers.

When he showed his interest in Hetty, straightened his sitting posture slightly, and stared at her slightly forward, Hetty felt that he was about to be frozen in place under the overly sharp and cold eyes Living:

"You are such a strange girl... come here..."

"What?" Hetty felt that either Arkham Knight was really completely crazy, or she had a hallucination under excessive tension:

How could a man who was extremely wary and didn't trust anyone let a stranger who suddenly appeared in his room pass by?No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like something good will happen!

Arkham Knight narrowed his eyes.His helmet, which was used to conceal his identity, was placed on a shelf not far away. Without the cover of foreign objects, the pair of beautiful green eyes that belonged to Jason Todd, no matter which world he was in, appeared. He could stare at Heidi closely for a moment: "I don't want to say the same thing a second time."

So Hetty walked over immediately, but found that she didn't have any place to sit, so she could only poke in front of the knight in embarrassment, and at the same time carefully kept a safe distance as far as possible, her whole body was stiff. Like a bonito jerky.

She suddenly felt a pain in her chin. It turned out that just a moment ago, the handsome but unpredictable man in front of her pinched her chin and pulled her away.

Hetty's first reaction was to reject this excessive intimacy.However, the difference in strength between the two can widen the depth of ten Mariana Trenches, and this little resistance is harmless and negligible.

Arkham Knight easily restrained her hands and feet, looked at her face carefully, and suddenly smiled at her: "Good girl, don't lie to me while I'm in a rare good mood today .”

"Where did you come from?"
