Chapter 2029: Knight's Horror Night (Thirteen)
There were occasional car lights on the dark road, and the dazzling lights flashed by. The truck was speeding through the rainy night, splashing huge waves on the thin rain on the road.
The shadow of the town loomed on the distant skyline. The moment a truck stopped at the toll gate, a vine stretched out from the gap in the window and pierced the neck of the policeman who went to the truck to check the goods.
Another figure had already rushed into the toll booth, and soon the pole was raised, and the truck
Continue to gallop towards the distant town.
When the light of the car lights also disappeared into the dark rainy night, above the toll station, the signboard with the name of the city glowed coldly - "Bloodhaven".
The truck drove smoothly into the underground cold storage. When Poison Ivy got out of the car, she looked at Peter in disbelief and said, "Didn't you say you've only been in Gotham for less than a month? You were even in Bludhaven The base is ready.”
"I didn't prepare this." Peter shook his head and said, "It was only after I obtained the permission to use the Batcomputer that I discovered that Batman's first assistant had been active here and had set up more than ten robots in this city. Safe houses, and I’m just borrowing one of the most secretive ones.”
"Ma'am, please give them another injection of anesthetic to make sure they don't wake up within 24 hours. Then you can choose to stay here, or continue to go back with me."
There was a trace of hesitation on Poison Ivy's face, but to Peter's surprise, Poison Ivy said, "I'm going with you, I have to go back to Gotham."
"Can I take the liberty of asking why?"
Poison Ivy rolled her eyes slightly, then looked at Peter and said, "I know how dangerous you are, boy, no matter what storms and waves you set off in Gotham tonight, you can't really hurt the plants there. "
"And I'm not a loner as you think. The chaos you provoked between Scarecrow, Penguin, and Batman will inevitably spread to the entire Gotham. I want to go back and stay with Harley, and make sure that she never It's difficult to be interested in you and your plans."
"Then get in the car." Peter opened the door of the truck again and climbed into the car, and then said: "It's not far from dawn."
The truck slowly drove out of the darkness at the exit of the underground cold storage. What Peter didn't notice was that an inconspicuous red light spot lit up in a corner of the extremely deep darkness and flickered several times.
As soon as he returned to Gotham City, Peter received a communication from Batman.
"Where are you, Peter? Answer me."
"I'm on Lexie Island." Peter replied: "Poison Ivy told me that there is a Harley Quinn base there, and we are heading there now to see if we can find any trace of Barbara and Gordon."
"Come back now, I have other tasks for you."
Peter's hand holding the steering wheel paused, and then replied: "Okay, I'll turn around right away."
Poison Ivy next to him looked at him and said, "Are you planning to go back to the Batcave? Then drop me here."
"You go back with me, but don't go in. Once I give you the signal, try to make some noise and lure Batman over."
"You are absolutely crazy. I will not fight Batman!" Poison Ivy turned her head back, shook her head and said, "I have been avoiding doing this before. It is not a good thing to be a thorn in his side. He has Ready-made hostage—his estate has the most exotic flowers and plants in Gotham.”
"But we moved them all."
Poison Ivy was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Peter and said in surprise: "You shouldn't have gotten to this point a long time ago, right?"
"I'm not asking you to fight with him. Just like other super criminals, make some noise, be discovered by him, and then leave before he comes. It's that simple."
Poison Ivy sighed and said, "I will help you one last time. Then you must promise me that after this matter is over, go to my laboratory to help me conduct chemical analysis of plant toxins."
"Perfect deal, ma'am, please."
Peter went all the way back to the Batcave, first went to the changing room, changed out of his uniform, and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Amidst the rushing sound of water, Batman's voice sounded outside the door: "Peter, how long do you want? We have to hold a combat meeting."
"Right away, sir, by the way, can you help me ask Mr. Alfred if my clothes have been dried? Where should I find them?"
Batman left. Amidst the sound of water, Peter, who was lying in the bathtub, sighed in relief and began to review the process of executing the entire plan in his mind, making sure that nothing was missed.
Peter's exam topic this time was Batman, but of course, it wasn't about curing Batman.
It's not just because it's too difficult to cure Batman, but because Peter is not a psychiatrist. It's meaningless to specialize in this area. It's not cost-effective to pay more and gain less.
It is very important that Peter only shows his ability to take control of the situation independently.
Because it is obvious that as the Spider Army operates in more and more universes, the status of this group will also increase, and neither Schiller nor Nick will want to hand over the leadership of this group to others.
In fact, most Spider-Man are not suitable to be leaders. They can work together and help each other, but to lead a huge group across the multiverse, kindness and friendship alone are not enough.
It doesn't mean that you have to be immoral or very evil, but to maintain that kindness in the complex multiverse environment requires stronger abilities, to some extent, much stronger than these immoral people.
Since ancient times, people have called leaders without morality but strong abilities as heroes, but those leaders with integrity and kindness are enough to be canonized, because if you can't do anything, the difficulty of leading a team will suddenly rise to another level.
The current Spider Army is still mainly guided by Nick, but Nick knows that he and Spider-Man are not like-minded, and he is not the kind of leader who can fully inspire the justice and positivity of members. Spider-Man's power mostly comes from this. Although Peter likes scientific research very much, he knows his responsibilities. In addition to making all Spider-Mans live better, he must make full use of the abilities of so many Spider-Mans to make all universes better.

To be a leader, you must understand people's hearts. A team with such a wide range of interests will inevitably encounter various problems of witnessing biodiversity.
It is not impossible to keep exploring in practice and accumulate experience by making mistakes, but Peter also has his own pride. He always chooses the hell difficulty when playing games.
So Peter came to Gotham and faced Batman, who was the most difficult one among all Batmen.
Peter was not too ambitious. He chose a more difficult object and a more dangerous environment, so he planned to set a lower goal, so he spent almost a week exploring everywhere in Gotham to see if there were any suitable problems to solve.
During this process, Peter found that when he passed by certain places, the spider sense would always sound faintly, which greatly attracted Peter's attention, so he soon discovered the fear gas buried by the scarecrow.
When Peter found it, the scarecrow was almost buried. Thousands of fear gas bombs were buried in every corner of this huge city. Even if Peter had three heads and six arms, he couldn't dig them all in a short time.
Even if he notified Batman and asked the Bat family to dig together, it would only alert the enemy and let the scarecrow detonate the bomb in advance, causing a greater disaster.
Since the disaster is inevitable, Peter has chosen this as his own topic. His goal is to keep the situation under his control as much as possible on the night of the disaster, to try his best to reduce casualties and end the disaster as soon as possible.
It is not impossible to follow Batman's pace, but that will not exercise his ability at all. Besides, he is not just a Robin, and running around in Gotham City to complete tasks is far less than what he can do.
But Batman will definitely not listen to his explanation, so Peter can only choose to do it alone, and this is Batman's Gotham, and he will definitely face Batman if he does this.
So Peter's best choice is to use his information gap advantage, take action early to catch Batman off guard, and finish the work while he is being led by various clues laid in advance.
This time, Peter went all out. In addition to the psychology knowledge he learned from Schiller, the technology he learned from Stark, the pursuit and fighting skills he learned from Steve, and the human and time management skills he learned from Nick, he used all the means such as symbiotes, healing potions, and improved spider suits, and maintained the information gap advantage, so that Batman could run around in Gotham for half a night.
But he knew that this was just the beginning. After observing Batman in the past few weeks, he found that this dark knight was unreasonable and was probably the strongest and most comprehensive human Peter had ever faced.
Most of the people Peter knew before, including several of his teachers, were only good at one or several aspects.
But Batman was not like that. Batman was a real hexagonal warrior. Peter spent weeks thinking hard and could not think of any weaknesses that could be exploited.
Lying in the bathtub, Peter took a deep breath and went through the process of his entire plan in his mind again. After making sure that there was no problem, he closed his eyes and rested for a while to restore his physical strength and energy, then changed his clothes and walked out of the bathroom.
Arriving at the combat meeting hall of the Batcave, there were only two people waiting there, Batman and Nightwing.
"How is the research on the fear poison going?" Batman asked.
Peter confirmed that his expression was fine before he said, "The chemical analysis still has no results, but the radiation theory can be basically confirmed. I will now send the data of common radiation bands to your computer."
"Once the antenna modification is completed, the satellite will be able to point out the location where the fear gas bomb may exist, and our next step is to concentrate on modifying the antenna and then dig out all the bombs."
"Robin is out of contact, and so are Gordon and Barbara." Batman spoke again, looking at Peter and said, "You were almost kidnapped and hunted."
"But it doesn't matter." Peter shook his head and said, "Being a superhero means being prepared to bleed and sacrifice. We have to continue to work hard for those who are still alive."
Batman looked at him silently, and Peter met his gaze fearlessly, but Batman shook his head and said, "My plan is different from yours."
Nightwing looked anxious and kept winking at Peter. Peter frowned slightly. He didn't quite understand what Nightwing meant, because he had never dealt with the first generation Robin before and had too little information.
"This combat meeting is to announce my plan, and you two just need to listen and sit over there."
The atmosphere was a little stiff, and Peter clearly saw Nightwing's twitching mouth. In Nightwing's disapproving eyes, Peter turned and walked towards the chair pointed by Batman.
Nightwing had no choice but to go over and sit down, and when he turned his head to look at Peter next to him, the expression on his face was "You will soon know why I left Gotham."
And Peter really wanted to hear Batman's plan, he thought it would allow him to take targeted precautions.
The next second, the spider sense sounded sharply.
Click, click, click!
Several metal locks extended from the neck, wrists and legs, and closed instantly, completely fixing Peter and Nightwing.
Peter's pupils shrank suddenly.
"No matter what my plan is, you two stay here honestly, and don't think about leaving until the matter is resolved."
