[Comprehensive British and American] Hacker company in operation

"Doctor Grant?" The police officer at the door greeted the person who came over.

"Klein's physical report has come out," said the speaker in a tired voice. He was the doctor in charge of Scarecrow Jonathan Klein. The victims are fine."

He mocked, and said coldly: "He can be discharged from the hospital."

As for where he will go after being discharged from the hospital, of course it is the Arkham Asylum.

The Scarecrow heard their conversation, but didn't make a sound—

He was wearing a special hood at this time, unable to make a sound, not only unable to speak, but also wearing a restraint suit for mental patients, and was tied to a hospital bed.

With his eyes still closed, he heard the two policemen outside the door answering, heard them open the door of the ward, and began to push his hospital bed. During this period, the scarecrow was still pretending to be asleep...probably to prevent the scarecrow from passing through movements and even expressions. To hypnotize others, others can only see his closed eyes through the protective hood.

But the Scarecrow is not worried. After returning to Arkham, wait for a while, and the monitoring of him will be relaxed——

Even the mentally ill have the right to release and receive treatment.

By then, he will have plenty of opportunities to escape again.

The attending doctor named "Grant" was black and blue, probably because of the incident caused by the scarecrow, he had been busy for a long time. He stood by and watched the nurses and policemen pushing the hospital bed, and did not help.

However, probably wanting to stare at this troublemaker and leave the hospital, the man has been following the two police officers.The police officers had never thought of pretending to be someone else. The criminal beside them was one of the most dangerous guys in Gotham, and their spirits were always tense.

After walking for a while, at the corner, Dr. Grant nodded to the policeman and walked in another direction, but the policeman didn't pay attention to him at all.

——They didn't know that after turning into the toilet on this floor, "Dr. Grant" took out his coat from the tool room, and quickly transformed into an ordinary-looking male nurse.

The previous "Doctor Grant" was played by 8 of Spades in disguise. The real doctor was lying in the next bathroom cubicle, sleeping soundly.

8 of Spades finished his new disguise, hurriedly ran to the stairwell, and quickly went down to the third floor. He walked into a ward and rolled out another bed from the room.

Because of the accident caused by the scarecrow, the hospital is very busy now, and there are people coming and going everywhere. When they saw the hospital bed pushed by the 8 of spades, most of them showed sad expressions——on the hospital bed lay a The people of the white cloth, apparently, the unfortunate patient passed away.

Since it was accompanied by a nurse rather than a family member, the deceased probably had no relatives and no reason. This was to be sent to the morgue on the second basement floor.

At this time, the two police officers pushing the scarecrow had just pushed him into the elevator and pressed the button to go to the parking lot on the basement level.

The hospital bed elevator is very large, and there are often no ordinary patients taking it. When going down to the third floor, the elevator stopped, and the 8 of Spades pushed the hospital bed into the elevator.

The two police officers didn't realize that the nurse was "Doctor Grant" who had separated from them a few minutes ago. They only noticed that the nurse looked suspiciously at the scarecrow in a straitjacket and stood silently aside.The two policemen also had no desire to negotiate. One of them was experienced, glanced at the corpse covered in a white cloth, and deduced that the "dead" under the white cloth was not tall but a bit bloated. However, he was fully focused on the scarecrow. Did not care.

The elevator was going down. At this time, the ordinary elevator that the 5 of spades and the 7 of spades took had just stopped at the parking lot on the basement level. There was Dr. Banner beside them.

Considering the convenience of transportation, 7 of Spades rented a car locally, while 5 of Spades and Dr. Banner went to the hospital to visit Rosie. Banner didn't know that Rosie was not in the hospital, so 5 of Spades followed suit.

They "met" in front of the bodyguards' ward, and learned that Banner and 5 of Spades took a taxi to the hospital, and 7 of Spades offered to take them back to the hotel. The kindness was hard to accept, and all three of them appeared in the parking lot—Ro Qian's car was parked right in front of the hospital bed elevator, and not far away was Arkham's transport vehicle. In the car, the driver of the Arkham Asylum who had been waiting here was dozing off on the steering wheel.

The three walked out of the elevator, 7 of Spades hurriedly walked in the front, and 5 of Spades was at the end... But 7 of Spades walked directly past the position of her own car and continued to walk forward. She seemed to wake up suddenly. God, he paused, frowned and said, "Damn... I went in the wrong direction."

She turned around immediately. At this time, the 5 of Spades who seemed to be in a daze was still behind, standing among several cars. It happened that Banner could only see the opponent's head, but not the position of the lower body—but Banner could Make sure he's there.

The 5 of Spades has completed the planned arrangement.

At the same time, the door of the hospital bed elevator opened, and 8 of Spades pushed the hospital bed and walked out, as if he was about to leave first. The police officers glanced at him, and one of the more experienced people shouted: "Hey, this is not a mortuary." between!"

He was afraid that he hadn't heard the sound of the elevator door opening, so he walked out and didn't pay attention to the floor.

8 of Spades seemed to be woken up. He had already got out of the elevator, and while apologizing, he pushed the hospital bed back. As a result, the elevator door closed automatically, and it was directly stuck——

The police officer raised his hand impatiently and glanced at the time. Eight of Spades lowered his head and pulled out the hospital bed in embarrassment, letting them leave first.

The two police officers were also helpless, and pushed the scarecrow out of the hospital bed elevator. Just when the two beds were side by side, a fire alarm sounded suddenly in the underground parking lot.

The shrill siren woke up the dozing Arkham driver, and the two police officers reflexively searched for the fire point and the fire extinguisher.

——Gotham General Hospital, as the largest hospital in Gotham, has sufficient equipment, surveillance is installed everywhere, and there are fire extinguishers at every corner. The nearest fire extinguisher is not far away, and the police officers immediately discovered the location of the fire , the trash can in the southwest corner inexplicably burned, and the flames engulfed the line directly above, causing the monitoring screen in the parking lot to blur for a few seconds.

There is a car next to it. If the fire spreads and the gasoline of the nearby vehicle explodes, it will cause a major accident.

5 of Spades immediately rushed over, followed by Banner, running towards the nearest fire extinguisher. At this time, a policeman had already rushed over with a fire extinguisher, and the other wanted to do the same, but ran two steps away. Afterwards, he thought of the scarecrow, and looked back. Two hospital beds were lined up side by side, and a strange nurse stood beside him helplessly.

He didn't think about it anymore, but fortunately, they worked together and quickly extinguished the small fire... The two police officers turned their heads and saw the nurse pushing the hospital bed back to the elevator. For fear, he looked at the scarecrow on his hospital bed again, and he could only see a pair of still closed eyes.

"It's really unfair. After all our busy work, you, a criminal, are still sleeping..." the policeman thought subconsciously, and helped the nurse boy push the hospital bed into the elevator.

As the elevator doors closed, he saw the boy smile gratefully at him.

At this point, the Batcave.

He had his own affairs to deal with, so it was impossible for Batman to keep an eye on the captured Scarecrow all the time. He put surveillance cameras in the Scarecrow's ward, and he was more worried that the police would not be able to send the Scarecrow back to Arkham smoothly. This cunning The man is likely to escape.

—he was not worried about the safety of the Scarecrow himself.

The monitoring in the basement of the hospital only had a problem for less than 15 seconds because the fire was extinguished very quickly.

After that, all the way from the hospital to Arkham, the Scarecrow will be under the watchful eyes of the Batcave.

The hospital bed elevator opened again, and the hospital bed covered with white cloth was pushed out by the 8 of spades.

The scarecrow under the white cloth stared wide-eyed.

But with the restraint clothing and restraint belt, he struggled hard, but he was still unable to make a sound or give the slightest warning——

3 minutes ago, he pretended to be asleep and lay on the hospital bed, and suddenly felt a white cloth covering him, and then, his hospital bed was pushed by a stranger, and then, instead of being pushed into Arkham’s car, he was pushed back into the car. Go back to the elevator.

This man is not a nurse!

In a blink of an eye, the Scarecrow figured out everything that happened today. The so-called accidents and carelessness were premeditated, but what camp is this person?black mask?Two-Face?Or a clown?

No, if it was them... they would not use such a covert method, but often directly kill the policeman and snatch him away by force!The scarecrow stared at the white cloth, and the nurse was still pushing him towards the mortuary. He didn't communicate with him until he felt the special coldness in the morgue and smelled the strange smell. The scarecrow realized that he was pushed into the morgue. Among the corpses.

Then, a hand reached into the white cloth, something was stuck into his neck, and the "Nurse" finally said a word: "Ocha sends you hello."

The scarecrow's eyes widened, and his eyes slowly collapsed. A cold feeling like drowning emerged from the depths of his body, followed by dryness and burning... Consciousness was slowly fading away, but until the last moment of his life, he couldn't think about it. clear--

Why did Ocha want to kill him?

……

The vehicle drove into Arkham without any problems along the way, but before the "Scarecrow" was pushed into Arkham, a full-body scan and body search were required. The two police officers thought they could finally breathe a sigh of relief. While waiting, one of them took out a cigarette and was about to light it.

"No! It's not a scarecrow!"

This exclamation not only reached the ears of the policeman, but also reached the bat cave.

Bruce was resting in front of the Batcomputer with his chin propped on one hand, when he suddenly raised his head, he saw in the surveillance, Arkham employees pushed the so-called "scarecrow" and then simply took off his protective hood ——

With a "poof", grass clippings flew, and the hood was not a person at all, but a puppet model with eyes closed!Like the most common ones in stores!

The policeman’s cigarette also fell out, and several people worked together to disassemble the “scarecrow”’s clothes, only to find that it was a human doll inside, filled with a lot of straw. In order to make it weigh as much as the scarecrow, the doll was empty. There are many stones in the body.

Here is a puppet, where is the scarecrow? !

The police officer exclaimed: "Elevator!"

Along the way, prisoners can only be replaced at the elevator.

Another police officer immediately picked up the walkie-talkie: "It's the nurse, the nurse has a problem...and the fire!"

At this time, Batman has been dispatched.

He called up the monitoring along the way before the police realized it, and he was sure that the monitoring was only missing in the hospital parking lot for less than 20 seconds. To find the scarecrow at this time, he must go to the hospital!

——Batman suspected that the Scarecrow took the opportunity to escape with the help of others!

On the way to call out the monitoring and rush to the hospital, he has already locked the target that appeared in the parking lot. In addition to the suspicious nurse, there are actually three superheroes present, the Hulk, the Hound, and the stitched corpse, but it is reasonable to think about it. of.

Scarecrow's escape was no small matter. Batman immediately contacted the Avengers. Stark and the others were already preparing to leave Gotham City, but upon hearing the news, even Stark's expression became more serious.

Batman directly asked about the fire. He suspected that there were other companions of the nurse who helped him set the fire to attract the attention of the police.

Banner said this: "Ms. Taylor wanted to give me and Wood a ride, so we went to the parking lot. The few of us have been together all the time. We haven't seen any other suspicious people, and there is no surveillance?"

The surveillance did not capture anyone, as if the fire started suddenly, and the surveillance cameras had blind spots, but even if there were blind spots, there were three superheroes present, so it was theoretically impossible for someone to secretly set the fire on fire.

Batman asked Wood again.

Wood was very reticent: "I didn't see it."

After contacting "Stitched Corpse" Meryl Taylor, the other party was driving back to the villa. The statement was exactly the same, but she put forward a new idea: "Could it be that the fire materials were arranged in advance?"

"I will continue to investigate and monitor." Batman replied.

... But this shows that he needs to expand the scope of his suspicions and investigate all the people who have entered the underground parking lot within fifteen hours after the Scarecrow was admitted to the hospital.

During the conversation, he had already arrived at the hospital. He notified the hospital of the disappearance of the scarecrow in advance. The hospital immediately sent security guards to search for the suspicious nurse and went to the morgue without hope.

During the monitoring, the nurse pushed the hospital bed to the morgue normally, and then left the hospital normally, but everyone felt that he must have moved the scarecrow in advance, and the "corpse" in the morgue was just a cover-up.

They are wrong.

When Batman arrived at the morgue, he saw a pale hospital security guard with a body in a straitjacket lying on the morgue.

The security guard passed over a burial shroud, a white cloth with a huge, bleeding bright red eye.

The security guard made a nauseous expression, he calmed down, and then said: "When we came, it covered the scarecrow's body, and the blood on it... the scarecrow's body was cut open."

It seems that the person who painted the sign used local materials.

"How did the Scarecrow die?"

Batman's voice is calm.

Of course he could recognize the face of his old opponent. Before he died, the scarecrow's expression was dazed and terrified. At the last moment of his life, he did not overcome and master the fear, but died with the fear.

Of course Batman will not feel sorry for the Scarecrow's death, he has no sympathy for criminals, but he will find the murderer, because the guy who murdered the Scarecrow is a brand new murderer.

"Aconitine was poisoned, and he died very quickly, and he didn't feel the pain of the knife wound after death," a doctor said at this time, his voice paused, "This guy is really cheap, let me introduce, I am—— "

"Granger, I know you," Batman said hoarsely, "you are the scarecrow's attending doctor."

"You're perfectly capable of getting the medicine, and you've always hated the Scarecrow because you've also been poisoned by his fear gas."

"Yeah," the doctor shrugged, as if he didn't understand the hidden meaning of Batman's words, "but I was fascinated when the scarecrow died. Walk the Scarecrow."

This shows that the time when the scarecrow is sent away is also planned...the possibility of combustibles being prepared in advance in the trash can increases.

But the trash can has been burned clean, and the remains after the fire were classified as garbage and sent to the incinerator. When Batman arrived, it had been completely incinerated-and the mysterious nurse may have the ability to disguise, and the surveillance was carried out again. There was no sign of him either.

Batman found the clothes and props in the toilet cubicle, and almost completely restored the murder, but he couldn't fit the last two puzzles anyway——

The reason for the murder.

The whereabouts of the murderer.

The logo of the "Orcha Group" is painted on the burial cloth, but Batman will not think so easily that the people of the Orcha Group did all this. What is their motive?What need did they have to kill the Scarecrow?With the behavior style of the Aoqia Group, it seems that they are indeed public, and they will admit what they have done... and if they have not done it, they will publicly clarify it like before.

It is impossible to hide the death of the scarecrow, and there are already various rumors on the Internet.

And he'll keep checking.

……

Batman suspects the Five of Spades, the vigilant bat suspects everyone.

It is true that 5 of Spades ignited the trash can under cover, but Dr. Banner and 7 of Spades testified together at that time, so he was unable to conduct further verification——

It's like using fear to make local criminals give in, beg for mercy, and tell the truth, a trick that even Batman couldn't possibly do to a superhero.

Even Batman couldn't have imagined that there were not two Aucha members present, but three.

8 of Spades changed disguises along the way, and returned to Newark next door not long after the scarecrow died.

5 of Spades and others did not continue to track down the murderer. After all, the Scarecrow did not escape from prison, but was killed. The Avengers returned to New York.

With only 7 of spades, she returned to her boss who was recuperating.

Rosie was awake.

This is the third time she wakes up. Even after injecting the antidote, the sequelae are not so easy to get rid of. After waking up, she has been in a daze, and took a few more pills. During this period, 7 of Spades and Magneto took turns to accompany her .

——The 7 of Spades required Magneto to keep Rosie under his watch all the time, obviously this incident made her spirit tense up.

When Rosie was resting and 7 of Spades was out, Magneto could only sit on the head of Rosie's bed bored, and after 7 of Spades came back, he gave the room to the two of them to be alone.

After waking up for the third time, Rosie's spirit improved a lot. 7 of Spades handed her the tablet, which was the news of the scarecrow's death.

Rosie stared at the news for a moment, her shoulders lifted, then relaxed.

In fact, she didn't want to kill the scarecrow because of personal grievances. The fear came too fast and suddenly, and she couldn't even raise resentment and anger in her heart at that moment... Even at the moment when she wanted to kill the scarecrow, she couldn't kill the scarecrow. And only fear.

——She was trying to silence her.

Rosie's shoulders jerked violently.

"Boss..." Seven of Spades showed a worried look, "You—"

Rosie shook her head slightly, stopping what 7 of Spades was about to say.

The lights in the room had already been lit, and she knew that it was already evening, and the time seemed to have been stolen. The sequelae made her almost unable to remember what she did when she woke up today, she might be talking in a daze, or she might be Crying, Rosie gave up thinking about it. She organized her words and said after a while, "Sorry."

It was very difficult at the beginning, but then, she seemed to speak much more smoothly:

"This time it was my mistake. I could have chosen a safer method, directly using the name of Ocha to 'take advantage of the fire', occupy Gotham City and then quickly return to Newark, or bring mutants instead of relying on ordinary bodyguards to protect , or let you stay by my side...I..."

"I have to admit," she whispered, "I kind of don't trust you guys, even though you trust me that much."

Because this is no longer a game, but a reality. While she is relying on the power provided by the system to protect herself, she is also afraid of the backlash. She is so vigilant, she may not believe in anything for nothing.

"I've always known," the red-haired woman said calmly, "...you know all my abilities, Boss."

Yes, [Master of Psychology] The skills acquired in August can not only be used to get along with the employees of the company, but also to read the thoughts of the boss.

Obviously, 7 of Spades has always known how the boss doubted them, and how he ordered them while doubting them.

Rosie closed her eyes, she didn't have anything to say at this moment... She suddenly realized that with the skills of a master psychologist, her thoughts were actually naked in the eyes of Seven of Spades.

— Another psychology guru has given her a bloody lesson.

"You need a little psychological counseling now," said 7 of Spades, sitting on the edge of the bed. "Although the physical effects of the poisonous fear on you are diminishing, all people who suffer from the poisonous fear will have certain psychological problems...need me for you Do you want some psychological counseling?"

Rosie: "..."

Others In her eyes, employees have always been like "children". Even if their IQs are not low, she never thought about the day when she would need psychological counseling from employees.

Rosie sighed: "Well, I really need it."

She still had her eyes closed, but she didn't hear 7 of Spades speak.

But she felt that the 7 of Spades was approaching, and the woman's hand passed through her shoulder, wrapping Rosie's shoulder with gentle but firm strength, dumping her in her direction, and giving her a strong and warm hug.

"Okay," Rosie heard the voice of 7 of Spades rang in her ears, "This is the psychological counseling you need most now."

a hug.

A soft, irresistible, and slightly fragrant embrace.

Rosie felt the soreness at the tip of her nose and the sockets of her eyes. She raised her hand and hugged Seven of Spades' waist. Tears finally fell down. She cried silently at first, and then sobbed softly. She buried her head in Seven of Spades in shame. shoulder socket.

"I..." Rosie's voice was intermittent, "I think... I don't know... I don't know what the future will hold..."

"I can't make... any guarantees..."

"I can only apologize—"

She can only be sorry, she can only say sorry.

Other than that, she couldn't say anything.

"I have some introspection." Rosie was tired from crying, and her emotions gradually calmed down, her mind seemed to be much clearer than before. "Actually, the scarecrow incident was not accidental—I did not reflect on the scarecrow, but I realized that my The mentality actually went wrong very early on.”

From time travel to now, she has been in a very tense state. Although the power in her hands is getting stronger, with the increase of "collection" and the deepening of her understanding of the world, she sees more dangers. A danger that a person cannot touch in a lifetime.

——Rosie finally understands what it means to know more and more pain.

This made her mentally tense, and she put all her body and mind into this "behind the scenes" work, and she must always consider the attitudes of all parties. Sooner or later, she will collapse, and the scarecrow's fear gas is just A fuse.

If this continues, Rosie's mentality will collapse at the next point of excessive pressure... because she is just an ordinary person who strayed into the real world.

Seven of Spades patted her on the back.

Rosie thought and said, "I think... I need to make a little change."

Rosie is an ordinary person, but Rosie Spade is not. She is the daughter of the Boss of the "Ocha Group", a genius hacker who led a small half of the members to rebel. "Her" actions should be more daring, and her identity There is already a record.

——Since she is destined to be noticed by those forces no matter whether she is ordinary or not, she should simply show her specialness.

"In addition, I also need to develop a new hobby," Rosie tried to analyze her psychology, "I am working hard for my career almost all day long..."

Well, the cause of the man behind the scenes.

"—I have to own, my own life."
