Chapter 2445 Battle for the Cloak (1)
"The assassination of President Bruce Wayne - the most horrific large-scale terrorist attack in American history! Please listen to our detailed analysis next..."
"Yesterday at around 2:30 a.m., the U.S. Capitol was attacked by a terrorist attack. President Bruce Wayne was unfortunately killed while he was working. The spokesperson of the U.S. Congress stated that this was an extremely horrific terrorist act that must not be tolerated."
"The Daily Planet exclusively reported that corpses appeared frequently on the streets across the East Coast. It has been confirmed that most of these corpses wearing tight clothes that suddenly appeared are street heroes from various places. The cause of death is currently unknown."
From the ever-lit giant screens in bustling commercial streets to the flashing televisions in window shops, countless news reports are repeating the terrible and sad news that their best president Bruce Wayne was killed in an unspeakable tragedy.
Died in a terrorist attack.
With a click, Jason pressed the remote control, and the TV screen was switched to another program, but the news banner below continued to play the news of the president's assassination.
Several Robins from Schiller's universe stood in front of the TV and watched the news with serious expressions. Before Bruce went on a business trip to the dark universe, he specially handed over several Robins from his side to the Arkham World.
Batman, they've been here for a while.
During this period of time, they actually didn't have much interaction with the Batman of this universe, because the Batman of the Arkham Knight universe had already become the president, and in just a few months was rated as the most powerful person in the history of the United States.
The best president ever.
Of course, it is not easy to achieve this kind of results, so Batman in the Arkham Knight universe has been very busy recently. Except for the Robins chatting with this Batman when they first came here, other than that
There was no further communication.
On the contrary, Nightwing, Red Robin, Barbara, and even Arkham Knight Jason in this universe have good relations with them. Although several Robins don't understand why these people don't live in Wayne Manor, but
They still often get together to eat and chat, or maintain equipment.
Bruce's Robins also have their own equipment, because they have grown up, Dick has gone to high school, and Jason and Tim have both entered junior high school. Although Bruce did not teach them any fighting skills or tactical thinking,
But they did get a lot of weird equipment for them.
These include but are not limited to the small version of the Ark reactor that Bruce took the time to make, as well as a set of nano-folding arm armor that he drove, a staff from Kama Taj, and a staff that can freeze people in dense ice.
There are small frozen pistols, small Darkseid Earth Defense Force spacecraft, a lot of usable yellow and green light rings, feathers dropped by Michael and Uriel, etc.
What? You ask about the equipment with the title of Bat? It can only be said that the only Bat equipment Bruce owns is the set of Bat armor and a few Batarangs that are only for ornamental value.
As soon as the Robins finished reading the Secretary of Defense's analysis of the terrorist attack, the cell phones placed on the coffee table rang.
"Hello, hello, this is Barbara. I am communicating with you in the clock tower base. I will connect the other three lines soon. Their respective code names are Nightwing, Arkham Knight and Robin.
Please call me prophet."
"Okay, ma'am, but I don't think there's any need for us to hide our names. I believe this communication line is safe," Dick said.
"I'm trying to use artificial intelligence to build a firewall." Tim tapped the computer quickly and said, "But I'm not a very professional hacker. This is the artificial intelligence that Bruce used to calculate Gotham's building renovation plan. Its specialty
It’s calculation, not safety protection, but it’s probably enough.”
"Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Drake."
"Just call me Tim. Madam Prophet, I believe you have collected all the information about the president's assassination now. Can you briefly talk about the important information?"
"Okay." Barbara on the other end of the communicator said: "I guess you are packing up your equipment. They also just received the communication message from the Dou Ring system. This time we will have many powerful helpers. They
On the way here too."
"Before you are ready, I will try my best to collect and refine the information from all sources, but it has not been completely completed so far. There are no clues about the truth, but I can take this time to tell you
Tell me what happened."
"Last night at 2:32 a.m., a major explosion occurred on the second floor of the U.S. Capitol Building. At that time, a photography team was filming a promotional video for the upcoming National Day, so they filmed the explosion. Judging from the performance of the explosion,
The point should be in the corridor on the right, where the Presidential Office is located."
"Within three hours after the explosion, various systems continued to spread news to calm the public's panic. At 6 o'clock this morning, the U.S. Congress and the Alliance Bureau of Investigation jointly issued a death notice, officially announcing to the world that current U.S. President Bruce
Wayne dies."
“How did they report on the killer?”
"They only emphasized that they would arrest the murderer as soon as possible, but they did not mention a word about his identity or even speculate about it. Both Yeyi and I think this is extremely abnormal."
"That's really bad news." Jason said as he zipped up his coat, "But I think we'll have more bad news soon."
"Don't be so pessimistic." Dick said to him: "I don't think Batman is really dead. This may be his plan."
"In addition." Barbara's voice with the sound of electricity came again, "In the footage shot by the promotional video shooting team, Superman appeared behind the exploding Capitol Building. In just a few seconds of video, you can see
He was flying as fast as he could toward the Capitol, but he fell."
"I specially processed the picture and enlarged it about 60 times, and found that an extremely small luminous object hit Superman's chest like a sharp sword."
"Just this moment?"
"Just this time." Barbara gave an affirmative answer and said: "Superman showed great pain and fell almost immediately. During the fall, he still tried to fly in the direction of the Capitol Building.
, but failed.”
"Where is he now?"
"No one knows." Barbara's tone deepened and she said: "He is missing, but what we can confirm is that he is still alive. When Superman came to Gotham, Batman had done some testing on his physical condition.
Monitor, his incredibly powerful body is almost indestructible."
The uneasy premonition in Jason's heart became stronger and stronger. He said: "The body cannot be destroyed, but what about the soul?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know much about this." Barbara could only say: "But if you have any guesses, you can tell us."
"This could be another piece of bad news."
"We are never afraid of bad news." Another voice appeared on the channel. It was obviously Nightwing from the Arkham Knight universe.
"Well, if this terrorist attack targets Batman, then I think the situation can still be controlled, because it may be an accident caused by his political opponents or some extremists."
"But news reports say that many superheroes have died one after another, and Superman has been attacked and his current whereabouts are unknown. Then we can speculate that the opponent is targeting all superheroes in this universe."
"There are too many superheroes. The concepts they uphold and the scope of their activities are completely different from the people they have befriended or offended. Who would target them all indiscriminately?"
This question caused the channel to be silent for a while, but Robin soon connected to the channel. He said: "Even the craziest criminal in Gotham will not target all the heroes in a city indiscriminately. If someone does this
If he does it, it means that he hates superheroes very much, and it also means that he is extremely evil."
"An explosion is not enough to kill Batman." A deep voice sounded on the channel, obviously Arkham Knight joined in, he said: "Even if he is not wearing the Bat armor or carrying any equipment, but in the
After he became president, he put protective measures in all areas where he frequented, which cannot be broken by ordinary explosions."
"You're right, kid, this explosion is not ordinary." A high-pitched voice suddenly interjected: "Batman was not defeated by this explosion, but by another, more evil thing."
All the members of the Bat Family were stunned. Barbara raised her voice and said, "Who are you? How did you join our channel?"
"There's no problem with the firewall." Tim said immediately: "This guy seems to have been here all along. He even joined earlier than us."
"Who are you?" Dick said, "What's your relationship with Batman?"
"Of course I came earlier than you." The voice said: "But it doesn't matter. Now Batman is in big trouble. He is indeed not dead yet, but he is about to die."
Everyone stood up, and Nightwing's voice revealed deep worry, "Where are you? How do you know all this?"
"Of course you know where I am. Not long ago, each of you hugged me."
Everyone in the channel was silent for another second, but Barbara suddenly said: "Jason! That big doll of yours!!"
Footsteps and rustling sounds were immediately heard from the other end of Arkham Knight's communication channel. It was obvious that he was rummaging around for something.
"Aha! Congratulations on discovering me!" The voice in the gap came from the Arkham Knight channel again. Because of the distance, it seemed a bit blurry.
Soon they heard a bang, like something fell heavily to the ground, followed by another crackle, and a cry of pain and curses from Arkham Knight.
"Jason, Jason, are you okay?" Barbara kept asking.
After about tens of seconds, Arkham Knight returned to the communication channel and said breathlessly: "I caught him, damn, I don't know how to describe it, he's like a bat doll turned into a spirit!"
"I just want to hide inside the bat doll and give you a hug, but I am not a doll myself. My name is Bat Mite. Nice to meet you!"
