In the hazy halo, Robin felt that he was being dragged. He moved his dry lips and tried hard to lift his heavy eyelids.
The light was very dim, but it took less time for his eyes to adapt. He saw a dark figure, wearing tights and no mask. Judging from the size, it was not Nightwing.
Robin didn't dare to make a sound at all, because he had realized something and just pretended that he was still unconscious. But other than that, there was nothing else he could do because he couldn't control his limbs at all.
He heard a slightly familiar voice coming from the darkness.
"I'd love to say...but I'm a bit busy right now..."
Peter...it was indeed Peter Parker. Robin closed his eyes in pain. Did he take the initiative to come to the door and make Batman relax his vigilance? Why didn't his new assistant pass the test?
Batman would not be so careless, so what method did this Peter Parker use to confuse Batman?
After an accident in which everyone in the city fell into coma, Robin went to investigate. He knew where there was equipment to monitor the air flow in the city, and rushed to the weather control center in Wayne Tower as soon as the accident happened.
Robin was smart because he did not go directly to the central hall of the weather controller, but went to the monitoring room of Wayne Tower and directly called up the monitoring of the weather control center.
So he witnessed the whole process of Peter putting the red goo into Arkham Knight.
More importantly, he saw Peter take off the Arkham Knight's mask, and the face revealed behind was all too familiar to him. It was Jason Todd, and there was a picture of him in the Batcave.
Robin was shocked on the spot. Could Peter Parker have something to do with Jason Todd's disappearance?
Even if it doesn't matter, he attacked Jason and put a ball of slime into his body that he didn't know what it was but it looked very scary.
Robin immediately realized that something was wrong with Peter Parker, but when he wanted to contact Batman, he found that the signal band of his communicator was blocked, and then he was attacked.
Good, something is definitely wrong with Peter Parker, because Batman wants all his Robins to call him all the time, and there is no way he can block anyone's communication band.
The Prophet had no motive to do this, not to mention that Barbara had just given him a communicator that could contact Nightwing. She wanted everyone to stay in contact, let alone block the communication.
So who else has this authority? Probably the only one left is the latest uninvited guest in the Batcave, the kid codenamed Spider-Man.
Peter Parker didn't just come today. He had been here for a while, but Robin had never met him. It wasn't until the operation to arrest the Riddler a few days ago that Robin saw how powerful he was.
This guy has the same mutant ability as a spider. Not only can he shoot spider silk, but he can also climb walls very fast. More importantly, he is extremely powerful. At that time, Robin felt that this was not like Batman's style of looking for assistants.
.
But now it makes sense, Batman's assistant is a super criminal or something, which fits his unlucky style all the time.
At this time, another figure came over. Robin tried hard to roll his eyes up, wanting to see clearly but afraid of being discovered. Fortunately, the figure soon spoke.
"Hey, Gordon and his daughter and Batman's Robin, what else do you want to do? Stop it! Peter! I can't go crazy with you like this anymore."
"Ms. Poison Ivy, please become a super criminal. Besides, you only anesthetized them, not killed them."
"Then why don't you have the consciousness of a superhero assistant?! You destroyed Gotham City twice, and now you want to destroy the Bat Family. Your glorious record has surpassed the Joker!"
Spider-Man sighed, stuffed Robin into the deepest part of the cargo compartment, then got into the car, sat in the driver's seat and looked at Poison Ivy and said, "If you don't come with me, you'll be caught by Batman alone.
The bones cannot be saved."
"But if I go with you, my life will not be saved!"
"That will happen in the future. Trust me, Batman will not go crazy. He is currently in a state of emotional relief and is lost in thought, which will cause him to temporarily ignore what is happening in reality. We must take this opportunity to quickly resolve the evidence.
"
Poison Ivy had no choice but to get into the car in the end. She knew that without Peter, who was so knowledgeable, leading her away, she would be caught by Batman before long.
The city was destroyed and family members were kidnapped. Poison Ivy simply couldn't imagine what Batman would do to her in order to extract clues. She was not from the Joker family who were known for their resilience.
The truck drove all the way through the city, driving so far that Robin couldn't figure out the direction of the vehicle, but it could be seen from the light coming from the crack in the door of the truck that the vehicle was leaving the city.
Robin listened intently to the movements in the car. He heard that Peter and Poison Ivy must have gotten out of the car, so he tried hard to wake up, regain control of his limbs and escape.
But the feeling of numbness followed like a shadow. Robin guessed that he must have been poisoned by plant toxins. This thing was very troublesome. Without specific drugs, it was impossible to get rid of it just by relying on its own metabolism.
After trying hard to recover for a while without making any progress, Robin began to think of other ways, such as using the communication device on his body to contact Batman, but at this moment, the door of the truck compartment was opened again.
A heavy sack was carried up, Poison Ivy and Peter got into the carriage, the sack was opened, and there was another body.
No, it wasn't a corpse. Robin could hear the faint breathing of the third person. It seemed that because Poison Ivy didn't have night vision, they still brought an emergency flashlight and illuminated the darkness in the car.
Through this light, Robin recognized the man who was tied up with five flowers, mainly because of the black mask on his face.
Why is Black Mask here? Isn't he dead?
Black Mask's mouth was sealed with tape, and his body was wrapped with wires. Judging from the strangulation marks, he had been tied up for at least half a month. Even if he couldn't see his eyes, Robin could read his fear from his body movements.
Robin never thought that he would empathize with a super criminal, but at this moment he was indeed a little frightened. Peter Parker kidnapped Black Mask half a month ago.
In fact, Robin's investigation into the Black Mask death case was more detailed than Batman's. For a period of time before, he had been busy pursuing the case, so he did not meet Peter.
In fact, Robin has always wanted to prove himself in front of Batman and prove that he can independently solve cases. Black Mask's death is not a major case, but he is a well-known villain anyway. Robin feels that if he can complete the investigation independently
, and can also prove his ability in front of Batman.
But Gordon obviously didn't take this case so seriously. Although everyone could see that Black Mask did not commit suicide by jumping off the building, but was pushed down, Gordon only regarded this as a vendetta caused by the conflict between gangs.
So when Robin arrived at the scene, Gordon did not secure the scene as he had done before waiting for Batman, but sent the body away early in order to prevent Black Mask's men from counterattacking.
At this juncture, something happened with the Riddler, and Robin was transferred by Batman to work with Peter to capture the Riddler.
Batman's argument at the time was that Peter had just arrived and was not familiar with Gotham's road conditions. You needed to help him find the Riddler hiding in the streets.
Not to mention that Peter could have searched for it by himself using the Sky Eye system. Isn’t this timing too coincidental?
When Robin wanted to go to the morgue to see Black Mask's body again, Gordon reluctantly said that the black police officers in the police station had already destroyed the body.
At that time, Robin and Gordon discussed the Black Mask case, and the information Gordon gave was that the black police officers who took action in the police station were probably members of the Penguin.
Robin also suspected the Penguin, but apparently the super criminal was more cunning than he expected. Neither the surveillance cameras nor the Sky Eye system captured images of the Penguin entering or leaving Black Mask's lair.
Now it seems that the person who entered and exited Black Mask's lair was not the Penguin at all, but Peter Parker, so it makes sense.
This guy can climb walls, swing on spider webs, and is extremely powerful. Isn't it easy to hide from a surveillance camera?
There is one last question, why did he kidnap Black Mask?
Peter very cooperatively tore off the tape on Black Mask's mouth and said to him: "Mr. Black Mask, if you don't want to be locked up for such a long time, give me the evidence of Penguin's crime.
Need your help, please."
"You madman!!!" Black Mask screamed: "You damn, shameless, evil madman!!!"
"You'd better think about it again, Mr. Sionis. Think about the concentrated fear venom capsule in your lungs. It can completely burn your brain in 0.2 seconds..."
Black Mask twitched on the spot a few times, took a deep breath and said: "Damn Scarecrow, damn, damn..."
Peter half-knelt down and looked at Black Mask's face and said: "Penguin plans to break the contract first, and Professor Klein needs some help to let him understand the price that will be paid by those who break their trust."
Black Mask gritted his teeth and said, "I can give you the evidence, but after you let me go."
"You know you have no room for negotiation."
Black Mask sighed deeply and said: "Tell Jonathan that I am in trouble this time. He has a good student. Go to my safe house on Riegel Street and find the tape on the second row of the bookshelf...
"
Robin was completely stunned.
The relationship between the characters shown in the conversation just now was a bit too complicated. Even he had to think about it for a while before he could react.
In other words, this Peter Parker who suddenly appeared is actually the student of Scarecrow Jonathan Crane.
It certainly took more than a day or two for Scarecrow to prepare his plan to destroy the city with fear gas, so it is not impossible that he would train a student in advance to lurk next to Batman.
A few weeks ago, Peter Parker suddenly appeared next to Batman, perhaps to help him complete the case, or perhaps to provide him with other help. Batman discovered his talent and naturally became his assistant.
Then, under the guise of an internship, Peter Parker began to become familiar with the terrain and conditions of Gotham. At the same time, he kept an eye on the Penguin's old enemy Black Mask, and tried to find a way to make Black Mask fake his death and kidnap him.
And all this is actually to help Scarecrow perfect the plan. As long as Black Mask can provide evidence of Penguin's crime, Scarecrow can blackmail Penguin into cooperating with him.
After Black Mask was kidnapped, Penguin was not sure whether Scarecrow had obtained the evidence, so he gave in and provided some help to Scarecrow.
Now that the Penguin has become restless, Peter Parker once again found the imprisoned Black Mask and wanted to get the real evidence.
Thinking of the two military vehicles that appeared before, Robin can be sure that the help provided by the Penguins to Scarecrow is to provide him with military vehicles and arms. This is the capital for the Scarecrow team to do evil in Gotham City.
And Peter mentioned in words that he buried a capsule of fear gas concentrate in Black Mask's body, which must have been done by Scarecrow.
And Peter Parker has been with Batman for a few weeks, will Batman also...
Robin desperately tried to raise his hand and press the communication device on his arm to remind Batman that this operation to destroy Gotham was not as simple as it seemed.
There is a man behind the scenes who started laying out the plan a few weeks ago, strategizing, and weaving a dark web step by step, vowing to kill the entire Gotham City and the Bat-Family.
All kinds of clues flew through Robin's mind like the wind. The second before he fell into coma, he looked at the truck door that had reopened and silently recited the name of this terrible mastermind in his heart——
