Early September.

Law and order in Gotham City is terrible, but September is indeed the worst month.With the bat lights on every night and reports of criminals escaping from prison, the citizens of Gotham are always hearing something new, even if they don't pay attention, and realize that their city's vigilante hardly ever rests.

September [-]st, September [-]nd, September [-]rd...

No one realizes that there is a hand behind the scenes that is driving all this, but the atmosphere in the city has indeed become tense and heavy, and until today, the Scarecrow has finally finished all his arrangements, and it is time to scare the city.

After being caught by Batman in the last prison break, Batman faced up to the hypnotic ability of Scarecrow as a psychologist, and isolated him alone in a room deep in Arkham, so that he could not communicate with other criminals——

But the Scarecrow has only one chance, and that is the chance to meet with the psychiatrist.

These criminals who have been diagnosed with mental illness have a chance to be cured, and the Scarecrow took the opportunity to hypnotize his psychiatrist. Coincidentally, the psychiatrist in Arkham has many criminal patients. She is like a source of infection belonging to the Scarecrow, able to infect to all patients.

——Why does the little bat want to "cure" them?Klein just thinks that he is doing great now.

However, no matter how perfect the plan is, there will always be accidents. One of the accidents, he originally hypnotized the double-faced man and asked him to plant a bomb in the hotel. This little firework will be a happy salute for the day, but the double-faced man was discovered by Batman in advance , almost exposed his plan, the second accident, he used the hotel surveillance camera to strobe at different frequencies, subconsciously and large-scale group hypnotized guests, turning them into his own hostages, but the day before yesterday the Avengers checked into the hotel , the scarecrow canceled the program in advance, to avoid being discovered... so that some guests did not succeed in hypnosis, the third accident...

"What a coincidence," said the Scarecrow hoarsely, "it seems that the construction team digging up the cable was no accident, death knell."

He should have thought, why did the cable break at the beginning of Wayne's party—

Because of the lack of access to surveillance cameras, there may have been a small deviation from his original plan.

The Scarecrow is confronting the group of people brought by Deathstroke by himself, yes, as a behind-the-scenes man... When he entered the Wayne Hotel, he met Deathstroke's people on a narrow road, was directly knocked out and tied to the monitoring room, and is now being tied up. on the chair.

...This should be considered sitting.

There is a very detailed content in the employer's order, which requires the death knell to ensure that the total surveillance in the hotel is destroyed. Although the cable has been destroyed, the death knell understands the employer's idea of ​​"making sure everything is safe". That's how he came across the scarecrow.

The local villains in Gotham are characters that even the death knell can cause headaches, especially those who are mentally abnormal. He wants to collapse the scarecrow directly, but the scarecrow doesn't seem to be nervous at all. He said: "I see your fear."

Deathstroke paid him no attention at all, but what the Scarecrow said next stopped him.

"I saw your fear too, didn't I?" The little man in the hood laughed strangely, and the death knell heard an ominous sound.

He jumped up suddenly, and dodged the bullet by climbing on the chandelier on the top——

Unknown premonition experience.

The Scarecrow hypnotized his men, and all of them aimed their guns at Death Knell.

The fear expert stood up from the chair. He didn't know when he broke free from the rope. Death Knell remembered that he seemed to hear the sound of fingernails scratching the back of the chair. Thinking about the sound, he suddenly felt a little dizzy and almost fell from the top. .

——It’s okay to kill the subordinates to break through the blockade and directly kill the scarecrow. However, Deathstroke realized that the opponent probably prepared other back-ups.

As a mercenary, he compared the costs rationally, and found that his mission was only to "kidnap Bruce Wayne". Not only was it meaningless to conflict with the scarecrow, but it would also be a disadvantage.

The two sides looked at each other through the masks and hoods, and the death knell broke through the wall and turned to leave.

The scarecrow walked to the window, staring at the dimly lit distance, and heard the exclamation from below——

"Fear," he thought silently, "I can't wait to see this with my own eyes."

Although there are many superheroes below, he knows that the camp is very clear, superheroes, and their enemies - all are their enemies, all are hostages hypnotized by scarecrows, and they will frantically attack other people around them. Humans are immortal, making superheroes exhausted.

...It's like how Batman has been so exhausted by the criminals he released in the past half month that he didn't find the gas bomb transported by the Scarecrow to the skyship.

A few months ago, even without the fear gas, he still managed to scare the whole city. He made real "people made of straw" appear all over the city, put corpses in them, and confuse everyone by randomly killing people. , and people became more scared because they didn't know how he appeared all over the city, so that most of them left Gotham with their families, but his straw exposed his location, after all, Gotham is not everywhere There are so many straws.

The Scarecrow, reflecting on his actions in Arkham, should have let go of some unnecessary formality, and now, he's back in Gotham with his own brand new fear gas, fulfilling his promise to Batman.

—and put the city in real fear.

So he was not in a hurry to go downstairs to check the results. Soon, the whole city would be his result.

In the center of the eye of the storm, Rosie didn't know that there was a scarecrow behind the scenes, but she already realized that the danger was not only from Poison Ivy. Everyone around her began to attack each other, screaming and screaming together, and even Rosie Akane found that Poison Ivy was not in a good state either—they seemed to be under mind control.

All the employees are fine, but there is still a shortage of manpower. It is impossible for superheroes to attack ordinary people, but there are too many ordinary people who have problems at the scene. Rosie has already retreated to the corner of the room, and there is no way to retreat. , let 8 of Spades leave quietly, put on a skin, and appear in a white robe to help superheroes stop the troubles caused by ordinary people, while 7 of Spades is still guarding her side... It is impossible for Rosie to ignore her because of other people. own safety.

They were not noticed for a while, and Rosie put her finger on the dial key, but she didn't dare to dial it——

She can dial Professor X, who is not only an expert in psychology, but also the strongest mutant in telepathy, but if she turns to Professor X for help to solve this crisis...

"I don't have the confidence to hide it from him a second time," she had to admit. "My brain is protected by the system, and psychics cannot invade it. And my three employees are here. What about their brains? If there is no abnormality, Professor X will know their identities, and if there is an anomaly, Professor X will also realize the connection between them and me."

Not revealing the identity of Ocha Boss is Rosie's last bottom line, and the immediate crisis has not yet reached that level.

"This is group hypnosis, in order to prevent superheroes from contacting other psychics..."

In addition to the guests, there were also waiters present. Due to work reasons, the waiters were all wearing headsets, and now some of them have been knocked out by the superheroes. It is precisely because they have to restrain their strength so as not to kill them that Chaoying fights so restrained... …Rosie turned on her phone and started hacking into the headsets of the waiters, security guards, etc.

Then she used the [voice code] to hack into their brains—

Rosie saw fear, madness, and chaos. They seemed to think that there was no peace of mind around them. All that appeared around them were monsters, and the abyss was under their feet. Rosie used her mobile phone to contact everyone's brains. Then, she One click emptied their minds.

At this time, the chaotic voices spreading throughout the building suddenly fell silent for a while, and some people who were tearing each other stopped in place, and Chaoying's pressure suddenly eased.

At this time, without time to think about what happened, Batman defuses the poison ivy woman's vines and injects her with a powerful tranquilizer; the Hulk who was wrestling with the poison ivy lost his support, and sat on the ground with his buttocks, letting the ground They all shook for a moment, and he shook his head; Superman nodded towards Batman, and flew downstairs to deal with the others. He was not worried that he would be injured; Because the windows of the banquet hall were broken and the wind was strong, the anesthetic gas would soon be blown away by the wind, and how could he have stored hundreds of anesthetic bombs in the armor, now he can get away and go in the airtight environment? Put anesthesia in the space...

For the heroes, their greater difficulty is to protect ordinary people from being injured in mutual attacks... so that they can only knock people out. Presumably, when they wake up the next day, everyone's necks will be unbearably sore.

The chaos seems to have gradually subsided, and only 5 of spades "Hound", 7 of spades, Hulk, and Batman remained in the banquet hall. Rosie has already hinted at the ability to deal with problems on other floors.

The guests fell into a ball, just as she guessed... With so many superheroes around, Poison Ivy couldn't make waves by herself, and because the guests were all brought down, Rosie and Spades who were still standing 7 is particularly special and very suspicious.

——It's no use trying to be low-key now.

Moreover, Rosie suspected that she was suffering from computer deficiency. She was very anxious when the system computer was not around. At this time, she had obtained the cards for the three banquets, so she didn't have any need to stay here. She calmly nodded to a few people: "I think my reason for not being hypnotized may be the same as yours, but just in case, I will go back to the room and wait until everything subsides before leaving Gotham City."

The Poison Ivy girl fell, and she must take this opportunity to return to the fifth floor as soon as possible——

Speaking of it, Rosie always felt that she seemed to have forgotten something because she was too nervous... Ding, she heard something knock on the broken window behind her, and the wind that suddenly came over.

Rosie caught a glimpse of the dark silver knife light from the corner of her eye, reflecting the gorgeous night of Gotham City.

Time seemed to be slowed down at this moment, and she also saw Batman make a movement to throw a bat dart, but it was still too slow, and Rosie realized what happened:

"I got in the way of Deathstroke's raid... so he's going to kill me?"

Never cooperate with villains, Rosie suddenly realizes.

Never "cooperate" with these uncontrollable guys, use them, override them - she should have remembered all this after she suffered a loss on mutants last time, and don't easily borrow power that doesn't belong to her , unless she has the ability to deal with accidents, but she forgot again.

She is such a douchebag.

"Chong-"

A pair of huge silver scissors suddenly appeared, blocking Deathstroke's katana.

In less than a second, the whole body of the red-haired assistant was covered with a patchwork color translucent raincoat. The raincoat seemed to be something alive, covering her body like an extra piece of skin. The giant scissors appeared in nothingness, light as a feather, she picked it up and raised her hand to block, then, the speed of the woman seemed to be faster than the naked eye, and the misty drizzle drifted in outside the window, facing the wind and rain, the raincoat bulged, and the fluttering transparent raincoat Refracted a little silver light--

Night and rain have double blessings on "Patchwork World".

The 7 of Spades, or the "stitched corpse", kicked Death Knell's waist and abdomen, forcing Death Knell to change his knife to block. Two bat darts stabbed from strange angles were fired, and the next second, the woman in raincoat slammed into his arms with scissors, her blood was flying, and the 7 of Spades and the death knell fell from the tall building together, just when everyone thought they were going to fall together at the same time. When falling, in a blink of an eye, the center of the falling body of 7 of Spades and the left hand hooked on the window frame were combined——

She used her own momentum and gravity to force Death Knell back, and also took advantage of Death Knell's ignorance of her abilities to severely injure the opponent, and left a hand in advance, and did not fall at the same time as the opponent. Obviously, she had no impulse during the battle.

7 of Spades squatted on the window edge. Her current image was very different from that of Venus's assistant. She lowered her head: "Death knell was injured, but he didn't die."

Of course, he couldn't die so easily. When he fell, he used the props to change the direction of the fall and smashed himself into the third floor, but he was seriously injured in a haste.

——In order to protect Rosie, 7 of Spades exposed her identity.

However, the "stitched corpse" who appeared in New York is a vigilante after all, and everyone present is also a vigilante except Death Knell. Rosie thinks that there are so many mutants in her industrial park, the identity of the 7 of Spades does not seem to be important , and strengthened the personality of the Venus star boss.

"Merry..." Rosie's heart turned with the electricity, knowing that her best reaction at the moment was to play dumb, "...why did he kill me?"

Batman was the only one who was familiar with the death knell, and Batman also fell to the window at this time. Rosie glanced at his gloves and heard Batman say at this moment: "His target is not you, but you blocked him The way, now, to go hide until it's all over."

What Rosie was waiting for was his words. She looked around in a panic, and then rushed forward and hugged 7 of Spades' arm: "Go and help me, Mei Li, I will go back to our room and lock the door behind you." stand up."

The riot at the Wayne Hotel gradually subsided, and there were four of her bodyguards on the fifth floor. At this time, 7 of Spades revealed her identity as a "stitched corpse". The character of the police.

7 of Spades nodded, no one could see her expression through the hood of the raincoat, but when Rosie turned her head, she saw the worried look on 5 of Spades's face, but quickly put it away.

Rosie bypassed the superhero, bypassed the withered vines, rushed out of the banquet hall, turned a corner before hitting the air wall, and ran into the escape passage. She heard the screams and fighting from the bottom, and she was sure that the superhero Ying had already cleaned up to the bottom floor, and she could also hear her heels clattering in the quiet corridor, and Rosie's heart was beating so fast——

Not having staff around her, in unfamiliar surroundings, made her very uneasy.

She successfully ran into the fifth floor.

After leaning against the wall and panting for a while, Rosie saw her four bodyguards who looked vigilant. They were all Hydra members, but their current task was to protect her.

One of the bodyguards came to help her: "Boss! There was a sudden commotion just now. There were only a few of us on our floor, and nothing happened. It's just that a few security guards came up to check the situation. There was something wrong with their minds. We put them down and locked them in. Empty room."

Rosie nodded: "Good job! Take me back to my room, and you guard the door."

She successfully entered the room, although there were many accidents at the banquet, but now it seems that all the goals she wanted to achieve have been achieved: all the employees appeared at the banquet, got the skill cards, and the third The banquet was successfully completed.

Rosie asked the bodyguards to guard the door and the corridor, and when she saw strangers with mental problems, she would put them down. She locked the door of the room by herself, and after taking out the computer from the safe, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The light outside the window suddenly became brighter, as if someone had lit a torch that illuminated half of the city in the dark night. Rosie covered her eyes and squatted down on the spot. After a long while, the light dissipated, and she finally saw what happened——

To the east of the hotel, an explosion had just occurred in a corner of the city, and the flames caused by the explosion were burning fiercely under the drizzle.

The banquet...was not so perfect.

She saw Superman's cape streaking across the night sky, and she saw the bat lights light up over the old city, piercing the dark clouds, she saw the gold-red armor swooping down from above, and she saw the white robe of the 8 of Spades fluttering in the wind ... The banquet hall is not the end, but the prelude to the chaos. The behind-the-scenes sword is targeting the entire city, and she just saw a corner of the chaos unfortunately.

Rosie sat cross-legged on the bed and turned on the computer: "Well... not only for the character design, but also for myself."

She decided to help.

[Through the banquet, you got [Strike Lv0/lv50]]

[You are equipped with [Strike lv0/lv50], and the player's overall strength has reached 225]

[Through the banquet, 7 of Spades obtained [Advanced Profile]]

[7 of Spades is equipped with [Advanced Profile], players are requested to work hard to upgrade]

【Through the banquet, 8 of Spades obtained the [Eagle Eye]】

【Eight of Spades is equipped with [Eagle Eye], please work hard to upgrade】

[Through the banquet, 5 of Spades obtained [Bullet Time]]

【5 of Spades is equipped with [Bullet Time], please try to upgrade】

After being equipped with the five-star assault skill, Rosie's hacking ability barely ranks among the top hackers in the world;

Profile is an auxiliary skill, but it can be used in combat to track the enemy and infer the enemy's fighting style and ability. If 7 of Spades is equipped with this skill when encountering Death Knell, it may be able to bring more depth to the opponent with one blow. the wound;

The eagle eye strengthens human eyesight to the limit, and can "see" the trajectory of objects, whether in the past or in the future, which greatly enhances the accuracy of hitting the target with the 8 of Spades weapon;

And "bullet time" is not as strong as in the movie, but a fighting instinct. People with rich fighting experience subconsciously feel that time seems to slow down when they are at the limit, giving them more time to dodge, which improves the 5 of spades in disguise. The fault tolerance rate of the explosive ability...

Rosie hurriedly arranged the skill cards, and then directly hacked into the Gotham Police Station. Although GCPD's presence in Gotham City is not strong, it seems that superheroes are always guarding the city, but at least they are still alive.

Through the information obtained from GCPD, Rosie understood what happened in the city: "The doctors of Arkham Asylum rioted and killed the guards, and then let all the criminals go through the control room. Now Arkham is wide open. Most of the criminals took the opportunity to leave Arkham and caused riots in Gotham City..."

The Arkham Asylum has been upgraded many times and has two independent systems. One is used to remotely monitor the situation of the criminals. To release the criminals, the internal system that cannot be connected to the network must be manually controlled, and cannot be controlled through a computer.

A superhero may need to enter Arkham, break through the facilities that were originally used to prevent criminals from escaping, and then close Arkham, but Rosie doesn't need it.

She hacked into Arkham's main control room. Sure enough, through internal surveillance, she saw Doctor Arkham, who was in a similar state to the guests in the hotel. Rosie used her skills to directly hack into their brains.

She found two special words "Batman" and "Scarecrow" from these chaotic thoughts. Besides, the doctor seemed to follow a fixed order to release the criminals.

Rosie deleted part of the content and started typing——

【What am I doing...】

[Why am I releasing these criminals? 】

【damn it!This is too strange, they cannot be allowed to leave Arkham—]

The doctor's blank eyes were awake for two seconds at this moment. He screamed, threw himself on the console, and pulled the handbrake. All the wards in Arkham were closed at this moment, but in the next second, his eyes fell into blank again. .

Rosie sighed and imported a high-frequency audio, the other party rolled his eyes and passed out.

But that's not enough. Rosie suspects that the scarecrow's plan is more than that. She hacked into the minds of some people in Arkham and found that many people only have "fear" in their brains. The special thing about the doctor is that he has direct contact with the scarecrow, which is his Doctor.

According to the information she obtained, the Scarecrow is a doctor of chemistry, an expert in psychology, and a lunatic who is good at turning fear into his own weapon. It seems that she has to find a way to tell the news that "the Scarecrow may be behind the scenes" to other superheroes. ...Maybe Batman already knew all this, he was the Scarecrow's old rival after all, but—

"But I can use this reason to hack most of Gotham's surveillance, all for the scarecrow."

Her friend and subordinate is a vigilante, has a good relationship with Professor X, and founded a fund to protect mutants. As a powerful hacker, in this case, in order to help Chaoying, it is reasonable for her to act a little out of bounds of.

There is already a person who is "too cautious to change the monitoring when staying in a hotel", and he didn't evacuate the monitoring of Gotham City before leaving Gotham... It is also reasonable.
