Knights of DC

Chapter 766 Gotham: Day One

In Elliott's private estate, besides Gale and Ace, the virus memory belonging to Ke Wen was also obtained by Elliott. Wen has been killed.But since Ke Wen killed William, the Kamen Rider Faiz who took the power of Faiz, the other nine heterogeneous knights who have not officially appeared can also subtly capture Ke Wen without fighting Ke Wen. the power of.

Of course, this is also Dr. Manhattan's handwriting, helping Ke Wen to advance the process of fighting against strange knights.Just like now, Elliott uses the power brought by the virus memory to turn himself into purple powder and float in the wind. With the advantage that the naked eye and instruments cannot detect, he entered the Arkham Asylum, which was isolated from him for 23 hours. Appeared in the Office of the Director of Arkham Asylum.The clown, on the other hand, just leaned on the chair, with his legs resting on the desk.

Surrounding surveillance screens also show every corner of the Arkham Asylum. Those released patients, and those guards who were supposed to suppress the patients, are all in the corridor after inhaling this unknown virus after the madness. Side effects are shown in the room.Continuous coughing sounds came through the monitoring screen, as weak as a dying person.But in the same way, if there is any trouble, it will rush towards it like a mad dog.

For such a situation, the clown also enjoyed it, constantly changing the monitoring screen, and at the same time muttering to himself: "Where are you, Batboy."

At this time, Batman, whom the clown was thinking of, also entered the infirmary of the Arkham Asylum through the previously arranged secret passage, which can basically be regarded as the most leisurely and safest place in the entire Arkham Asylum.After all, the guys locked in the Arkham Asylum basically only have two ways of closing and running away. Few people patronize the infirmary. In addition to the need to conduct psychological evaluations on the guards every week and deal with some headaches, They don't need to worry about anything.

Such an environment also allowed Batman to sneak in with Gordon, who was in constant high fever and coughing, without any problems.After blocking the door and confirming that it was not monitored by the camera, Batman also began to use the medical equipment inside to detect Gordon's condition.

"Where is he?" Elliott, who sneaked in by using the characteristics of the virus memory, also maintained the knight appearance of a heterogeneous Virus [virus], and asked the clown.

"Hee hee, don't you want to replace Bat Boy, then guess it."

To Elliott's question, the clown replied without turning his head, and Elliott didn't say much, just stood there, watching the surveillance screens that were switched back and forth, and was also analyzing Batman there. trajectory of action.

"He is very cautious. He knows the position of every camera here, which means that he personally did it when renovating Arkham. Then, based on his current situation, he probably noticed that what caused this to happen is an unknown Virus, then, he should be here."

As he said that, Elliott also adjusted to the camera area of ​​the medical room, but the screen only showed the two sides of the corridor outside the medical room, as well as the clean and tidy medical room inside.Only after seeing this empty, clean and tidy medical room, Elliott and Joker became more certain that Batman was hiding in the medical room.With piercing laughter, the clown also grabbed the microphone and started broadcasting on full frequency.

"Great idea, Bat Boy, but your performance disappointed Uncle Clown. Is this the same Bat Boy who has the best of both worlds? The idea of ​​blocking the camera with a photo of the medical room is not like you , not rigorous at all, the clock in the medical room can move the ground~"

At this time, Batman, who was doing a CT scan of Gordon's lungs, also heard the voice of the clown, but now he can only focus on Gordon's situation and respond to the clown without looking back. He has every reason to believe that the clown can hear it. to their own words.Since the clown left the Arkham Asylum this time, everything he showed revealed something unusual. In this situation, Batman had to wonder what the person who helped him wanted behind the clown, and his , Who is it!

"What the hell are you trying to do, clown!"

"As I said before, Batboy, I just want to prove one thing to you, you and I are the same, don't use this false mask, self-deception to comfort yourself. You can't save Gotham , you can’t save yourself, all you have to do is let go, and then you will find that this world is like this~”

After finishing speaking, the clown stopped broadcasting, and footsteps began to be heard outside the door. The sound of the clown in the infirmary was enough to attract the attention of the virus-infected guards and patients outside. The infirmary is coming.Batman also turned a deaf ear to the news from the outside world, because at this time Gordon's situation made Batman frown.

"Lung lesions stimulate the brain nerves of the human body. The side effects are most obvious in the 50-80 age group. It is contagious. Is it an improved version for respiratory viruses?"

After finding out that Gordon still has the characteristics of the virus he was infected with at this time, Batman also began to use the equipment in the medical room to make vaccines there. This medical room is no worse than top hospitals in terms of equipment.As for a doctor with excellent medical skills, isn't he himself, but he keeps a low profile and doesn't talk about it.

At the same time, Elliott, who came to Arkham Asylum, also used his heterogeneous Virus [virus] subform ability at this time to start collecting free viruses in the air, whether it was in Gordon at this time, The viruses on Batman's body, or the guards' and patients' bodies, were all extracted by him and concentrated in his hands.Using his medical knowledge, as well as the ability of viral memory, Elliott came to more detailed conclusions than Batman.

"Yes, I got a good data sample, but it's not enough. What I want is for people of all ages. The scope of infection? It doesn't need to be too large, Gotham City is enough. The cycle, outbreaks in a week. Transmission route? Fly Come on, that's enough."

As Elliott told, the viruses gathered in his hands also began to change in nature, and the effects that Elliott wanted were realized in the viruses in his hands.A part of the virus was recovered, and the rest was re-distributed in the Arkham Asylum. Looking at the clock, it was still 24 minutes away from the 10 hours that Arkham was isolated, and Elliott's goal had already been partially achieved.

"So, have fun, Joker~"

Patting the clown on the shoulder, Elliot disappeared into the Arkham Asylum again, and began to arrange the rest of the action.He and the Joker's action against Batman hasn't even kicked off.

Under the night, Dick, who left Wayne Manor, also began to investigate based on the information given by Harley Quinn. At present, Dick has only two suspects on the list, and he has been on the run without showing up. He is obsessed with the human body The pig-faced professor of organ experiments, one is the friend of his father since he was a child, the chief surgeon of Gotham, Thomas Elliott.

Because of his preconceived perspective, Dick is now more inclined to find the pig-faced professor who is on the run, and hopes that he is the one who helped the clown repair his facial surgery. At least in this way, his father will not know a truth that makes him sad.It's just that when he was driving the locomotive and galloping there, a correspondent who he rarely communicated with appeared in his earphone channel.

"Where are you."

"Jason, are you back?"

When he heard this familiar voice sounding from the earphones, Dick also stopped abruptly and asked there.Because this voice is the second-generation Robin after him, the child that Batman owes the most, his younger brother without any blood relationship, Jason Todd.

"Well, Barbara and I are back, so where are you?"

"Daily patrol, why did you come back suddenly without saying hello?"

"Bruce called me back and said you were getting married soon."

"What? Bruce asked you to come back? Bruce hasn't been back to Wayne Manor for a day."

On the other end of the phone, Jason, who returned to Wayne Manor immediately with his girlfriend, Barbara Gordon, felt something was wrong when he heard Dick's answer.Seeing Barbara who was having fun with Helena, she also ran towards the Batcave immediately. Jason's sudden change also made others feel that something was wrong, and they all followed behind Jason. Go to the Batcave.

And Dick in Gotham City also said to Jason immediately.

"I'm rushing to the Arkham Asylum right now, so hurry up and ask Tim to call me the situation in the Arkham Asylum! Also, search for the whereabouts of Professor Pigface!"

While speaking, Dick, who was riding a motorcycle, immediately turned around and galloped in the direction of Arkham Asylum.Galloping all the way, the roar of the locomotive roared in the quiet streets of Gotham. He was worried about the safety of his old father, and he didn't care about the consequences of speeding at this time.

Jason, who also rushed to the underground Batcave at the first time, didn't even have the idea of ​​saying hello, and directly addressed the melon-eating crowd Tim Drake, said Robin Three.

"Tim! I want information on Arkham Asylum, and where is Professor Pigface! Barbara, hurry up and help, something is wrong!"

After hearing the sudden change of tone of their boyfriend/brother, Barbara and Tim couldn't care less about curiosity, and directly used their laptops and the brother-eye computer in the Batcave to start searching for Arkham Asylum and the missing Professor Pig Noodles investigates.Soon, information about Arkham Asylum appeared on the Brother Eye computer, and Jason, who was still in communication with Dick at this time, also contacted him immediately.

"Dick, you said that Bruce never came back, right? I think I know where he is."

"I know it too, you're in big trouble, Jason, you've been programmed."

Stopping at the bridge connecting the artificial island Naihe Island in Gotham City, Dick looked at the bridge that broke down at some point, and looked at the Arkham Asylum that was still brightly lit in the distance. Dick replied with an ugly face.

Just as Dick was riding a motorcycle and stopped by the broken bridge to respond to Jason in the Batcave, he was on a building under construction behind Dick.Elliott, who left Arkham Asylum, just stood there, looking at Dick below, maintaining his own sub-form, the knight form of a heterogeneous Virus, and looked down at the watch in his hand. The hour and second hands are counting down, and the time until Arkham Asylum's 24-hour quarantine is approaching.

"Ten, nine, eight... one, here we go, first day in Gotham, Batman."

Following Elliott's words, which were originally condensed in Elliott's hands and extracted from the airtight petri dish of Arkham Asylum, the newer virus was also scattered in Elliott's hands, blowing in the night wind. , spread in the air, and then under Elliott's control, began to infiltrate every corner of the city of Gotham. In the morning, with the flow of working people, the entire Gotham City will soon be Infected with this virus released from Elliott's hands, including Dick who was watching all this by the bridge at this time.

After completing these prelude preparations, Elliott also disappeared from the building. Next, he only needs to play his role during this week-long incubation period of the virus.At this time, Dick, who was standing by the broken bridge, looked at the Arkham Asylum, which was still brightly lit just now. After Elliott's countdown ended, Dick entered the alert state. The sea can also be seen clearly.

"Jason, are you leaving? Your arrival is a trap."

Dick leaned on the locomotive. This locomotive produced by Wayne Technology does not only have the function of galloping in the city.It's just that after realizing that his younger brother was designed, Dick didn't want Jason to get involved in the muddy waters of Gotham. Joker, he didn't want Jason and Batman to fall out again because of the Joker.

In the Batcave, Barbara, who was still investigating the whereabouts of Professor Pig, also looked at Jason. She also wanted to know Jason's choice.But Barbara herself will not leave, because her father, James Gordon, seems to have been involved in this storm.

Jason looked at the dot representing Arkham Asylum and the icon of Batman on the Brother Eye computer, which had been displayed with no audio all the time. After thinking for a long time, he finally gave the answer.

"Do you think I can leave, Barbara's father, Gordon seems to be in Arkham Asylum. Besides, Bruce's life and death are also in doubt now, and that bastard clown. Whoever the person who brought me back, I will It can only be said that he succeeded, Dick, come back, now is not the time to go directly to Arkham Asylum, this person who arranged with the clown knows us very well, if you go, you will only step into his trap, and, It's time for me to face my fears, the clown, there must be an end."

After saying these words, Jason also felt as if a stone had been put down in his heart. He looked at Barbara softly and held her hand.

"Why, are you worried that I'll leave and walk away?"

"No, I'm just worried that you will starve to death when you go back. After all, you don't know how to cook."

"You two, the channel is still a public channel. Bruce is still suffering from a disaster in Arkham. Can you stop showing affection at this time." When Barbara and Jason showed their affection for each other, Dick's helpless voice It also came out from the channel, interrupting the dog food distribution skills of these two. After hanging up the phone, Dick also looked at the Arkham Asylum across the sea, and couldn't help but muttered: "It's really convincing, you are imprisoned. It also brought the relationship between Jason and Barbara to a higher level, and then again, should I also consider getting married?"

After saying that, he turned the car around and left from the broken bridge, because he knew that the current situation of Arkham Asylum would soon be noticed by the reporters in Gotham, and the city government would follow.And their family has to deal with the underground forces that are about to move in Gotham after the Arkham Asylum has been isolated.

After complaining about Batman who was still fighting the clown in Arkham Asylum, Dick left.Just as Dick left from the broken bridge, a gray dimensional wall emerged in a residential house in Gotham. Ke Wen was dressed in black armor and also wearing a bat headgear. The Centuries, as well as Deathstroke with his two children, also appeared in this safehouse secretly set up by the League of Assassins in Gotham.

"Ha, Gotham is Gotham. As soon as I came in, I was given such a big welcome ceremony."

Death Bell, who was about to take off his mask, heard what Ke Wen said, and subconsciously protected his two children around him. This time, he brought his son and daughter here to practice for them.Since he chooses to learn from his father, Deathstroke has the responsibility to let his children understand the cruelty of this world. Maybe it is a bit cruel to say so, but only in this way, his children will not be stumped by various problems in the future .

As for now, it's not him bragging, the person he wants to protect, the person he wants to kill, has never missed.

"Is there anything wrong nearby?" Withdrawing the big sword, Death Knell also alerted the surroundings. With his vigilance and observation skills, he did not feel any changes in the surrounding situation.

"Of course there is something wrong, but it's not the people, it's the air. The masks are all taken off. I have to freshen the air in this place."

With that said, a gust of green wind was released from Ke Wen's body, blowing the room.Under Ke Wen's control, the viruses that were originally free in the air were also expelled immediately, and formed a protective layer in this room, responsible for filtering the viruses in the air.After doing this, Ke Wen walked out of the window, using his own perception, to screen the abnormalities in Gotham at this time.

Just when Ke Wen released the blast to eliminate the virus in the safe house, the clown in Arkham Asylum, Dick on the way back, and Elliott in his manor subconsciously looked in the direction of Ke Wen.For the heterogeneous W, the Joker and Elliott who are two in one, the moment Ke Wen appeared in Gotham, they had a feeling.

As for Dick, it was in that place, and there was a familiar feeling calling him, which made him want to turn around and go to investigate.But he held back because he needed to go back and reunite with his family to discuss how to rescue Batman.

Similarly, the Apocalypse New God Desad, who is in charge of Gotham Batman, also communicated with Steppenwolf in New York when Ke Wen appeared.

"Kamen Rider is here, Phase [-], officially begins."

"Understood, then I will wait and see, De Sadd."

After finishing the communication, Steppenwolf also looked at the mother box floating in front of him. On it, the other nine knight logos were also shimmering there, together with the already lit Faiz logo Φ, illuminating his face.
