Chapter 2034: Knight's Horror Night (XVIII)

Peter told Poison Ivy and Gordon about his guess. Gordon hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't know much about magic, but I do know that Batman has a few magic partners, such as Ms. Prince who has been to Gotham before."

"It's definitely too late to go to Metropolis now." Poison Ivy shook her head and said, "Not to mention the Gotham Airport shutdown, Metropolis has never welcomed Gotham people. We can only pray for the best."

She sighed, thought for a while and said, "What I use is not orthodox magic, but more like God-given power. There are some super criminals who can do magic in Arkham Asylum, but they always come and go without a trace, and it's not easy to find them."

"What about other super heroes who can do magic?"

Peter touched "If I had known, I would have copied Batman's address book. I'm afraid we have to go back to Gotham again."

"Batman is looking for you!" Poison Ivy said in a stronger tone: "You also said that this was Batman's original plan, and your actions have completely disrupted the situation. You know what the consequences will be if you are caught by Batman!"

"No, you are wrong. If he finds out what I am doing, he will definitely find that there is no conflict between us at all. I haven't hurt anyone, and we need each other's help now."

"You don't want to go back to find him?!"

"That's what I meant."

Before Batman chased Peter out of Gotham, a new round of riots broke out in Gotham City. It was nothing else, Scarecrow and Penguin fighting.

While Batman was driving the Batmobile to track Peter, he received a message from Nightwing. Scarecrow led the remaining men and fought with Penguin's remaining gangsters on the airship of the Stagg Group on Found Island.

Nightwing heard gunshots on the way to the clock tower, and he knew he had to notify Batman.

Batman drove the Batmobile all the way to Founder Island, and saw the airship of the Stagg Group from a distance. He switched the channel to Stagg's monitoring equipment.

"Klein! You broke the agreement first!" The furious voice of the Penguin appeared in the monitoring channel, "Don't think I don't know, you instructed that kid named Peter Parker to get the evidence of my transaction with the military from the Black Mask, you wanted to use this thing to threaten me from the beginning!"

"Don't talk nonsense, Oswald! You sent the military to bomb Gotham, you ruined my plan, you ruined everything!!!" Scarecrow's hysterical shout came out,

"Now you want to take Stagg away again, do you think I will let you succeed?! You have already calculated it, all this is you prying Stagg to betray me! Damn despicable villain!"

Batman's hand on the steering wheel paused, he didn't quite understand what the two parties meant.

Of course, he knew that the Penguin and the Scarecrow had a cooperative relationship to some extent, and he also knew that this group of super criminals had no loyalty at all and would fall out sooner or later.

But now it seems that there is another hidden story.

After Batman reacted, he almost immediately reconnected to the Bat System and monitored all the people who could be monitored.

Not only did it include the Arkham Knight walking on the street, the Scarecrow who occasionally showed up, but also Nightwing and Peter Parker in the Batcave, and all their bases where they stayed for a short time or for a long time.

The most secret Nightwing base in Blüdhaven that Peter Parker went to did not escape Batman's eyes. Batman almost immediately understood that Peter had other intentions.

He had a set of prevention plans for everyone, including Peter. Spider-sense was a troublesome thing, but it was not completely impossible to deal with it. As long as he prepared early, it would not be difficult to control him.

But there were still too many unexpected things tonight. Perhaps the Joker virus and the fear gas did have some effects. Peter Parker ran away and the original plan could not be implemented. He had to think about what to do next.

But first of all, he had to deal with Scarecrow and Penguin. Batman drove the Batmobile all the way to the airship.

Found that Batman was no longer chasing Peter Parker. The Arkham Knight behind him stopped at the edge of the roof and turned around. He planned to catch Peter Parker himself.

Where would this cunning boy go now? Leaving Gotham City might just be his trick. After a little thought, the Arkham Knight locked the target.

The Arkham Knight knew very well that the disappearance of Barbara, Gordon and Robin was not accidental. This was probably part of Peter Parker's revenge plan. The best target for revenge against Batman was naturally the Bat Family.

So now there is only one member left in the Bat Family.

The Arkham Knight returned to his base. He obviously also had his own monitoring system, and the focus of monitoring was Batman and members of the Bat Family.

Relying on monitoring and his own inference, the Arkham Knight decided to go to the clock tower. He knew what kind of person Nightwing was. Among all the missing people, he would probably choose to save Barbara first.

To save Barbara, he had to return to the clock tower to look for clues. Nightwing was probably there now.

Ten minutes later, Arkham Knight arrived at the clock tower, but there was only chaos left there.

Arkham Knight found a thin thread on the edge of the collapsed table. It was Peter Parker again, who was one step ahead of him.

Nightwing was also missing.

Arkham Knight clenched his fist, stood there and took a deep breath, and then slammed it on the table with a bang.

The emotion surrounding him now is not anger, but a deep powerlessness - what on earth is Batman doing? How could he tolerate such betrayal? !

Sad about his misfortune and angry about it, the Arkham Knight stood there, trying to find clues from his chaotic memory, but his extremely unstable mental state could not support his rational thinking at all.

There were no clues, no clues, he didn't know how it all happened and how it would end.

The past and reality begin to overlap, but the future remains unclear.

Finally, this powerlessness and confusion defeated him. After the hot blood in his head cooled down, the source of his anger finally revealed his true face - fear.

Arkham Knight's body began to tremble continuously. He had to put one hand on the table and try hard to adjust his breathing and heartbeat, but the panic still engulfed him.

He began to collapse, began to collapse, crawling on the table and knocking everything over, and then slid limply to the floor.

"Batman...Batman...where are you?...Batman..."

The Arkham Knight, who was almost completely out of his mind, did not notice that a small red slime tentacle pressed the button of the communication equipment on his arm, and even thoughtfully adjusted the channel.

"Batman...where are you..."

When Jason's voice came from the communicator, Batman thought he was hallucinating again.

No, it's not a hallucination!

Batman suddenly realized it. He looked at his communicator in shock, and even played the recording in vain - it was really not an illusion!

"Jason...Jason...Jason Todd!!!"

Batman began to roar, and the clown's phantom appeared again, but in an instant, Jason's voice came from the communicator, interrupting all illusions.

"I'm here...Batman..."

The eyes of the Arkham Knight lying on the ground were red again, and the mucus was constantly surging. The parasite that could see all his memories conveyed his true thoughts with his voice. “I’m in pain, I’m scared, I’m not special to you, so you won’t come to save me…”

"No...no, Jason, Jason, I'm looking for you, I've been looking for you, tell me where you are now!!"

"No matter how much I have believed in you or how much you have disappointed me, I will trust you again and be the first to think of you in my most critical moment, Batman..."

Arkham Knight's eyes slowly closed, and his consciousness sank into darkness again. For him, this was a rare good night's dream, with no pain, only peace.

When he woke up again, he saw the familiar prison bars of the Batcave, and at the same time heard a loud noise in his ears.

"I never thought you were a villain who dared to do things but didn't do what he wanted, Klein. Ha, are you okay now?! We were all caught here by Batman! Are you happy?"

"Oswald, you idiot, I really can't figure out how your stupid brain made such a wrong choice! You made us all become turtles in the jar!"

"Obviously it was you first..."

"Shut up!" Arkham Knight covered his head and shouted: "You two idiots, shut up!"

His vision finally became clearer, and he looked to both sides. The Scarecrow was on the left, and the Penguin was on the right.

Accompanied by the hissing sound of exhaust, the gate opened, and the moment a dark figure walked in, the atmosphere was so silent that it solidified.

"Did you feel something was wrong?" Scarecrow lowered his voice and said, "I didn't send people to kill Black Mask at all. I was busy planting fear gas at that time, and I knew the timeline didn't match up if I had a little bit of brainpower."

"I didn't send the military to bomb Gotham. Do you think I'm stupid? This is my home, my base camp. How am I going to do business and make money if I blow this up?"

The Scarecrow and the Penguin looked at each other in the distance, and they both realized something was wrong. Why did the two of them start fighting?

It is true that they each have their own secrets and have no feelings to talk about, but the plan went smoothly before, and there was no need to betray each other. Even in the end, there was no crisis that required betraying each other to survive.

"Jason." Batman stood outside the Arkham Knight's cage door, looking at him, and shouted, "Take off your mask."

The Arkham Knight knelt on the ground and looked at him coldly, showing no intention of moving.

"Show me your face, Jason."

There was a long silence.

Then, as if he had given up on himself, the Arkham Knight ripped off the armor on his head, revealing his face.

There was a very obvious J-shaped scar on it.

Batman's lips tightened instantly, knowing that what he saw in the hallucination was real.

Jason turned his head to the side. He knew what Batman would say - he should not leave without saying goodbye, should not disappear without equipment and communicator, should not go to dangerous urban areas, he should obey the arrangements, where If you don't go, there will be no danger if you just stay in the Batcave.

"...I didn't find you."

Jason raised his head in shock and looked at Batman's expression in disbelief. He never thought he could see such a complicated expression on this man's face.

"I've searched all over the city, every street, every room, every place you might go, as well as Metropolis, Blüdhaven...you are nowhere to be found."

Jason's fists clenched tightly, and his body was so stiff that he seemed to be using all his strength to hold up the muscles on his face to prevent them from collapsing.

"He hid me, he won't let you find me."

"I'm sorry."

Jason looked up again in shock, and then found that Batman was also using all his strength to support the muscles of his face. Both of them were stiff like stone statues.

And Jason had never felt that he was so similar to Batman.

"No... Wait!!!!"

The Scarecrow grabbed the bars of the cell and screamed.

"He is your Robin?!!!!" Scarecrow looked at Batman in disbelief and shouted: "Everything is your conspiracy?!!!"

"Wait a minute." The Penguin also reacted, "So Peter Parker is also... God!! He opened a hole in my chest and forced me to admit it... Batman!!!!"

Just as the Scarecrow and the Penguin screamed at the same time, a figure fell behind Batman.

Peter Parker, wearing a spider uniform, waved to Batman and said, "I'm sorry, but I need your help again, Batman."

Jason was also shocked.

How could the traitor Peter Parker come back to find Batman? ! He didn't want to deceive Batman in person, did he? !

Wait, he deceived Batman, didn't he?

At this time, Jason finally realized that the two of them had colluded, didn't they? !

After Jason was stunned for a moment, he looked at the scarecrow on the left, the Penguin on the right, and then looked at himself in the middle.

Aren't all the culprits of the fear gas disaster here?

He knew it! How could Batman be so easily deceived!

Jason roared in his heart, and then the three of them almost roared at the same time.

"Batman! You despicable villain!!!"

At this time, the greedy and anxious voice sounded in Peter's ears: "Dump it! Dump it quickly! Peter!"

Peter was stunned for less than half a second, and then rushed behind Batman, and pointed at him and said.

"Yes, Batman asked me to do this, it was all his ingenuity!"

At this moment, Peter fully recalled the fabrication skills that Dr. Schiller had taught him.

Before Batman could react, Peter immediately stepped forward and vividly described Batman's evil plan in a very exaggerated and chaotic way.

Process points!
