"How about the two of us run out alone?" Red Robin followed Red Hood hesitantly. Red Hood strode forward and turned around and said, "If you don't run out alone, you have to listen to their father-son relationship."
Deep?"
"That idiot Damian doesn't think about it, how could Batman do something without a purpose? He must have wanted to do something by bringing us here, and we can't let him succeed!"
The heavy footsteps of the two people echoed in the empty corridor. Red Robin hugged his arms and rubbed them: "I always feel that something is wrong here."
"Don't tell me that your sensitive radar is buzzing and interfering with your thoughts again, Mr. Detective!" Red Hood said angrily: "It's better to go on a mission with you than to go with Dick, at least
He’s steadily stupid!”
"Jason, when will you learn to speak properly? Control your weird temper! I'm just expressing my feelings." Red Robin looked around and complained.
The two came to the door of the elevator. Red Hood opened the door of the elevator without thinking, and said: "These are all defeated by Batman. We are not afraid when they dominate Gotham City. They are defeated by Batman."
How come you are so timid after being defeated and imprisoned?"
"Haven't you noticed yet? The situation in this universe is very different from what we thought." Red Robin was still persuading rationally. He tried hard to keep the unwarranted chill from disturbing his thinking, but analyzed it seriously.
: "Batman is the core of Gotham. If he were different, then the entire Gotham might be different, and Arkham Asylum might also be very different."
"That's why we have to figure out what's going on with Batman and Gotham here!" Red Hood strode into the elevator, his tone slightly lowered and he said seriously: "Don't you really think Batman threw us here?
, just so that we don’t bother him, right?”
Red Robin followed Red Hood into the elevator. He paused and heard the implication of Red Hood's words, so he tentatively said: "You mean, Batman wants us to investigate the secrets of this universe?
"
"Isn't it obvious?" Red Hood snorted and said, "There are so many differences between this universe and our hometown. If Batman heard about these differences, how could he not be curious? You still haven't
You know him? He wants to know everything about the universe and have it completely under his control."
Red Robin felt that what Red Hood said made sense. He frowned and thought for a moment and said, "Indeed, Batman may have learned about the situation in this universe from the mouth of The Flash, but he himself was unable to do so because of trivial matters.
Come here, so we were sent to inquire about the situation."
"And this universe may not be dangerous, it's just unique, otherwise we wouldn't be the first choice for scouts." Red Hood speculated: "He's not worried about us being in danger here, so why should we be so timid?
Are you scaring yourself?"
Red Robin nodded vigorously. He felt more and more that what Red Hood said made sense. Sometimes he had to admit that Jason was the boldest and most aggressive one among them. This trait was due to his caution and meticulousness.
What is lacking in his character.
Just as he was thinking of this, Red Robin turned around and saw the promotional poster posted on the elevator wall. He almost instinctively used his detective talent to judge everything, so he immediately discovered that the glue on the picture frame fixed on the elevator wall was still there.
Didn't do it.
"Has this painting been changed recently?" Red Robin said to himself and walked to the wall. He stretched out his fingers and dug at the connection between the picture frame and the wall. He waved to the Red Hood, and the two of them moved the painting together.
The picture frame is a little loose.
"There are so many traces of glue. It looks like the frame has been changed several times in a week?" Red Robin's tone was full of doubts. He frowned and looked at other parts of the elevator, and then he noticed the carpet under his feet.
There are also some wrinkles.
Red Robin immediately squatted down to check. He pulled the folds out with his fingers, and then walked to the corner of the elevator to pull the corners of the carpet. As soon as he pulled it up a little, he discovered that the carpet seemed to have been replaced many times in a short period of time.
, the traces of rivets are clearly visible.
"Come here, Jason, let's lift up the carpet." Red Robin said decisively. Jason walked over and the two of them pulled the carpet out by its feet.
With a "click", the carpet was pulled halfway open. The moment they saw the real floor of the elevator, they were both stunned - there were bloodstains under the carpet, and they were not from the same person, nor were they left at the same time.
.
After Red Robin was stunned for two seconds, he took a deep breath. He knelt down and lowered his head to carefully check the blood traces, and then said: "At least one male and one female. The male's blood remained two weeks ago, and the female's blood..."
···It solidified in less than three hours!”
"Could it be that a mentally ill person went crazy and hurt himself, so he bleeds?" Red Hood asked.
Red Robin didn't even look at him. He turned around and pulled off the frame. Then he found that there was blood residue at the joints of the elevator wall behind him. He shook his head and said, "This amount of bleeding is not a small injury unless
They went crazy and cut their own necks or cut off their thighs, otherwise the blood would not have spread so far."
"Murder?" "I'm afraid so."
The red hood's expression became serious, and just then the elevator stopped. The two of them looked up together, only to find that the number on the elevator door was not the third floor they were going to, but the underground floor.
"We may have missed the time the elevator spent upstairs." Red Hood said as he laid out the carpet. Red Robin tried to glue the frame back on, but failed, so he had to put it on the ground.
Let it lean against the wall behind.
As soon as the elevator door opened, a white male wearing a doctor's uniform stood outside the door. He was almost bald, but his age could be seen from a few strands of silver hair. He put his hands in the pockets of his white coat and walked with a calm and calm posture.
But when I saw the two young men in the elevator, I was still stunned.
"Who are you?" The male doctor looked them up and down, his eyes became a little wary. He tilted his head and asked, "What are you doing here? Why are you dressed like this?"
"We are members of an avant-garde art organization. We are here to investigate the daily lives of patients with mental illness. You see, we just took down the poster on the elevator because we were so fascinated by it." Red Robin lied.
His face does not change color.
"Pioneer organization?" The male doctor showed a trace of disgust. He retracted his feet that had just stepped into the elevator, and then stood outside the elevator door and said to them: "You'd better hang the painting back up quickly. If Mrs. Miller sees it,
, she can’t spare you.”
"Don't worry, we will, sir." Red Robin smiled and watched the elevator door slowly close.
But the moment the man's face disappeared into the elevator, Red Robin was stunned for a moment and suddenly trembled all over. "What's wrong with you?" Red Hood looked at him and asked.
Red Robin grabbed his arm, with such force that Red Hood could hardly bear it. Red Hood looked at him in confusion. When Red Robin met his eyes, he said in a trembling tone.
"The elevator door...is between the elevator door and the floor!" "What?"
Red Hood didn't understand what his partner meant at all.
The personalities of Red Hood and Red Robin are different. Red Hood is more accustomed to putting himself in a strong position, so no matter what kind of environment he is in, he is more accustomed to standing in the center of the entire space.
Red Robin is a detective personality. He likes to stand in the corner and look at the entire space to ensure that he does not miss any detail.
Therefore, their positions in the elevator are also different. Red Hood has been standing in the center of the elevator. When the elevator door opened just now, he was face to face with the male doctor, while Red Robin was standing behind him.
It forms a certain angle with the elevator door.
Red Hood didn't know what Red Robin saw, but Red Robin started to click on the nearest second floor button like crazy. Red Hood grabbed his wrist and said: "What are you doing? We are not going to
Go to the third floor?"
"Stop the elevator!" Red Robin shouted.
Red Hood found that he could not stop him and could only let him press the elevator button. After a few seconds, the elevator stopped. Red Robin pressed the door switch with a trembling hand.
Red Hood was waiting in the middle of the elevator with his arms folded. He wanted to see what Red Robin was up to. As soon as the elevator door opened, Red Hood rushed out. He looked left and right, but there was nothing outside the door.
Just as he was about to open his mouth to speak, Red Robin took a deep breath. He closed his eyes in pain, gritted his teeth and said, "Look at the gap between the elevator door and the wall..."
The red hood stepped into the elevator and stood outside. He turned sideways and looked at the place where the elevator door protruded. He covered his mouth the moment his eyes focused - the gap between the elevator and the wall was filled with a woman's long hair.
.
Red Hood slowly raised his head, then turned around and looked around the elevator door frame. Red Robin clenched his fists and said, "Someone stuffed their hair in there.
"This is not some kind of performance art." Red Hood's tone was slightly more stable than Red Robin's, but he still seemed a little nervous.
And the reason why he said this was because he could see large tracts of long hair interspersed with scalps that had been treated with special chemicals, and the hair follicles in the closest ones could even be seen clearly.
"Why are you still standing there? Come out quickly!" Red Hood rushed into the elevator and pulled Red Robin out. He gritted his teeth and cursed: "It must have been another lunatic who did it! I'm going to kill him!"
"
When the elevator door slowly closed, the two of them realized that they were on the second floor. This was not their destination. So Red Robin calmed down and said, "We have to find the stairs. I don't want to get involved with that ball of hair."
Stay together.-
"I agree." Red Hood turned and walked forward. He looked at the situation in the corridor on the second floor, and then he found a sign hanging at the corner of the corridor that read "Special Care Unit."
"Hey, hey! Look, the light is on in that room, and there seems to be a person sitting at the door." Red Robin peered in and pulled the Red Hood's arm with his hand.
The two of them tiptoed over and quietly came to the door. The man sitting at the door turned over and spotted them almost immediately.
The door was pushed open, and a man wearing a security uniform and holding a newspaper frowned, looked at the two of them and said, "Who are you? Why are you up here so late at night?"
As soon as he saw that he was a security guard, Red Robin knew that the rhetoric of members of the avant-garde art organization would not be able to deceive him, so he said: "I am a friend of a patient here. I came to visit him today, but suddenly I had a stomachache. Waiting for me to come out of the toilet
The hospital is closed when we come out, so we are stranded here, do you know how to get out?"
The security guard looked them up and down and said, "Your friend is a patient here. What is his name?"
"Oh, I can't tell you, my friend still can't accept the fact that he has a mental illness. I'm afraid you might irritate him."
"Okay." The man in the security uniform shrugged and said, "I have a map here, but it's hanging on the wall. Do you want to come in and take a look?"
Red Hood took a step forward and was about to walk in. Red Robin caught him, looked at the man's bloodshot eyes and said, "It must be hard to be on duty here, right? It's too late now, so we won't bother you.
You'd better go to bed quickly."
After saying that, he tugged the Red Hood's arm hard again. The Red Hood looked back at him impatiently, and then saw that in the blind spot of the male security guard's sight, Red Robin hit a bat-family universal weapon with his hand.
Warning code.
But the Red Hood had no intention of coming back. He ignored Red Robin's warning, squeezed half of his body through the door, and then said: "Thank you, where is the map? We will leave as soon as we finish reading. It won't take you long."
of."
The red hood's hand has already touched the weapon on his waist. The male security guard's eyes fell on the muscles of his arm. There was a trace of thought in his eyes. It seemed that he was comparing the size difference between the two people. He used one side of his hand to
He pressed his body against the door shaft, as if he didn't want the Red Hood to break in so quickly.
When the two were in a stalemate, suddenly, the footsteps of high heels came closer and closer. The male security guard's face immediately showed a trace of panic. He stood up and pushed the red hood out. With a "bang", the door opened.
It was closed tightly, and the lights in the room were also turned off.
The red hood was pushed unprepared and fell backwards, hitting Red Robin. It took the two of them a few seconds to stabilize their bodies.
When they finally came to their senses, they discovered that a figure was standing in the darkness at the end of the corridor. Amidst the sound of their heavy breathing, an elderly lady wearing a skirt and high heels came out.
The lady looked at the two young men up and down, frowned at their strange costumes, and asked, "Who are you?"
"us······"
"I am the head nurse here, you can call me Mrs. Miller, whether you are a doctor or a patient, you should go back to sleep now."
"we are not······"
"Whoever you are, it's bedtime!"
And when the breeze blew through the air, Red Robin smelled the faint smell of blood drifting from the other end of the corridor.
