batman and red hood

Chapter 76 Dispute

"hateful!"

Jason panted heavily and looked at the dilapidated "monster" in front of him. The chainsaw had been paralyzed by the bat dart and lost the lethality of the sawtooth, and half of the giant tongs had been blown away. Using the spider legs curled up in front of the toy spider's body, Jason barely took them off. One was inserted into the wall aside and the other fixed one of the "monster's" spider legs to the floor.Thank goodness those two legs don't look like they have any spares left.

Of the three pairs of spider legs used to move, only the last one on the right can barely move, but even in this state, this guy is still persistent in trying to catch Jason.

"He's such a tough guy, is there a stimulant in the pig noodle's potion?"

Whether it is in terms of explosive power or duration, this guy is far beyond the category of "human". The huge giant tongs and chainsaw, as well as the lower body of the mechanical spider that looks a bit like a giant toy, urge these things that do not belong to me. Everything needs a huge amount of energy, but at this moment, this guy seems to have inexhaustible physical strength, and he is still struggling to crawl towards Jason, humming from time to time.

Looking at this guy who could no longer be called a "human" in front of him, Jason once again regretted that he wasn't the one who dealt with Professor Pig Noodle.

Batman's instructions came from the communicator in his ear, and the simple sentence fits his usual style:

"Pig Noodles has activated a time bomb, leave now!"

Jason glanced at the brick walls around him that had become fragile over time. He knew very well what kind of chain reaction there would be if there was an explosion here.

"Damn! There are those three guys at the door"

Thinking of the three guys who just came in and found that they seemed to be brainwashed by drugs, they should be able to recover.Thinking of this, Jason hurriedly ran in the direction he came from.

Jason, who ran two steps, suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at the "person" on the ground and said:

"...It might be better for you to die"

After saying this, Jason quickly left here, he couldn't save that person.Pig Noodle's file also specifically stated that the victims he transformed ended up dying, without exception, even if they didn't commit suicide, they would eventually die due to various complications.

For this person who has completely lost everything that a "human" should have, it may be the best ending to die here without knowing anything, but the three guys at the door can still be saved, he must put them away. get out.

Jason hurried to the entrance where they came in, and a figure that shouldn't have appeared appeared in Jason's sight:

"Why are you still here!!??"

"Ah...that...me"

The fifth victim, and the only one whose pig noodle hadn't had time to transform, was squatting in front of the three rusty iron cages, fiddling with something.

After seeing the man's movements clearly, Jason understood the man's intentions:

"Is it open?"

That's great, although I don't know why this man is here, but he helped him open the cage, which really helped him a lot.

"Hey... well... I'm a locksmith..."

The man mentioned his occupation, but Jason didn't have time to praise him.

He tried to move the three cages, and after finding the cage whose wheels could still turn, he said to the man:

"Help me get the other two guys in"

"Hey?"

"Just do it!"

"okay"

After hastily stuffing everyone into the narrow iron cage, the man helped Jason push the cage and walked into the fork of the tunnel. Before walking a few steps, there was the first explosion from the other end of the tunnel.

The explosion set off a huge airflow mixed with sewage and splashed around. After looking at the wall that had started to crack due to the explosion, Jason ordered the man unceremoniously:

"You go in too"

"what?"

"Stop talking, go in!"

Jason didn't give the man a chance to ask questions. He opened the cage door and pushed the man in. It was too much to squeeze four people into the cage originally used to hold one person. Jason had no choice but to kick the man's ass hard. He kicked his feet and then closed the cage door and simply buckled it with a piece of wire.

"Sit down"

After saying this, Jason jumped onto the cage, took out the hook gun and shot towards the end of the dark tunnel, fixed the gun on the cage and pressed the retract button.

The extreme stretching speed of the grapple made the dilapidated iron cage look like a roller coaster, bumping around in the tunnel without seeing the situation and moving forward rapidly.

The explosion behind him grew louder, and the flames sprayed all over the tunnel, causing the old bricks to crumble where it touched.

"Grab it!"

As soon as Jason's voice fell, the entire cage was thrown out of this tunnel by the huge inertia.Due to inertia, the cage flew a short distance in the air, hit the opposite wall and then fell to the ground and fell apart.

Jason rolled on the spot when he landed, releasing the shock he carried, and an explosive airflow gushed out along the tunnel Jason and the others came out of, causing the wall to collapse.

"Phew~ I'll be fine here"

This section is a new drainage system built in the later stage. The scientific and reasonable planning and design prevent the ammonia gas from accumulating too much, which cannot meet the necessary conditions for chain explosions. Of course, the air smells much better.

Taking another look at the collapsed ruins, Jason was a little worried about whether Bruce had escaped through other passages.

"……that……"

It was only when the man made a sound that Jason remembered that there was such a guy.He took out the portable light and turned it on, looked at the man carefully, and decided to leave after making sure that he only suffered some skin trauma.

"...then what do I want?"

"The police will come later, you just stay here, and whether the pig face has done anything to you, you still need to go to the hospital for an examination"

Jason checked the other three people again, and they were all still alive. As for whether there were broken bones or anything else, the police would know when they took them to the hospital.

When I got back to the Batcave, what was playing on the computer was the scene of the police sending the bundled pig noodles to the police car.

"Oh, Master Jason, are you okay? I saw news reports that there was an explosion in the underground pipe network"

"...Ah Fu, I'm fine, hasn't Bruce come back yet?"

Why is the pig noodle still alive? ? ! !Jason knew that Bruce had an inexplicable obsession with not killing people, but he thought Bruce would let that guy die in the exploding underground. Why was that guy still alive? ?

"cut!"

Bruce needed to exchange information with Gordon, so he came back a little late.When he came back, Jason was still standing in the Batcave looking angry, his uniform hadn't been changed, and he still smelled of sewers.

"why?!"

As soon as Bruce got out of the car, Jason asked immediately.

"...Jason went to take a shower"

Batman's job makes Bruce have to go anywhere, and sewers are the norm, but he still can't bear the stench that keeps emitting from his body.

"Why is the pig noodle still alive?"

Jason ignored Bruce's opinion and continued to ask instead.

'He deserves justice'

"The law will not judge a madman!"

Every guy in Arkham will not be judged because they are crazy, even if they kill countless people, tear countless families apart, separate a newlywed couple from life to death or make a new mother woman Feel the pain of losing a child, but no one will try a madman, they will only be locked in Arkham Asylum, they will always be innocent.

"Bruce, I thought you just didn't want to kill these guys yourself, but at least I thought you'd let them die"

"Their deaths won't solve anything"

"Why can't it be solved? They are dead, and they can no longer harm others!"

"And then? There will be another pig noodle."

"Then kill the next one!"

"...Jason, what's the difference between you and them?"

"Of course, at least I won't attack innocent people! Bruce, when these guys ran out of Arkham to kill again, didn't you feel a little bit guilty when facing those victims? Don't you Do you feel that you are indulging them to kill?!"

"Go back to the room!!"

Jason's accusation was interrupted by Bruce's angry shout. After staring at Bruce fiercely for a long time, Jason turned and left the Batcave. Before leaving, he left a sentence bitterly:

"Tania's right, you're a pompous bastard!"

"...Who is Tania?"

Alfred was surprised by the name he heard for the first time, it sounded like it belonged to a lady.

"...thalia"

The reason why Bruce lost his temper with Jason was because the questions Jason raised poked at the side he was least willing to face. Every time the clowns did evil after they escaped from prison, looking at the victims, he did question himself like this , isn't his so-called principle an accomplice of these villains?

"Please don't confuse yourself with those villains, Master Bruce"

Alfred watched Bruce grow up, and of course he knew what kind of impact Jason's words had on this man.

"It's not your fault you couldn't sentence those people to death, you've been working hard to keep them sequestered in Arkham"

There is no country in the world where the law will sentence a lunatic to death. Bruce has been working hard to improve the security facilities of the Arkham Asylum to ensure that these guys who are thrown in have no chance to escape, but unfortunately, those independent appropriations feel It's more like it's all used to feed the dogs. This is Gotham.

"...I know, Ah Fu, I know"

……

"Little Pudding, the pig noodle has been caught again"

In a black car, the woman driving the vehicle was talking to the man beside her.

"Hmm~"

The man made a languid sound, seemingly uninterested in it.

"Aren't you going to play with bats?"

Harley Quinn looked at the clown and asked strangely.

"Hmm... no, I don't have any toys at hand right now, let's find some materials first"

The clown looked at the cordon pulled up by the police, and said lazily.

"Harry, what happened to what you were asked to do?"

"Find the most needed material for making clown laughing gas"

"Oh, that would be great, can anyone get it for us?"

"Of course there is, there is a woman who I'm sure will be very willing to help"

Harley Quinn handed the clown a photo, and the clown looked at the blond woman in the photo for a long time and asked again:

"So, what is the name of this lady who will be our partner?"

"She has been married three times and is currently single. Her surname has returned to her original mother's surname. Her name is Sheila Heywood."

"... Sheila, what a good name, then let's go visit this future partner..."
