Chapter 2458: Battle for the Cloak (XIV)
"How dare he... How dare he?!!!" King Robin threw down his popcorn and roared, "How could this damn country bumpkin understand the subtlety of the trap I set? He doesn't understand at all..."
But no matter how loud he roared, it was no match for the Red Hood on the screen who was constantly sarcastic. Not only did he nimbly avoid the traps he set one after another, he also kept chattering, picking on everything and making sarcastic remarks.
The traps set by King Robin were very comprehensive. There were spikes on the ground, flamethrowers in the sky, arrows around the walls, and all kinds of explosives that would blow you up into the sky as soon as you stepped on them. Laser traps and fake doors and roads were also at your fingertips.
He didn't intend to use these traps to kill the fish he caught, but he just liked to see the fish thrashing against the knife, breaking their heads and bleeding, and then appearing in front of Batman to achieve the best persuasive effect.
Logically speaking, this kind of trap would be useless to the Arkham Knight in his prime. Just as Red Hood said, the Arkham Knight could even fight with Batman all night long, and ordinary traps would be useless to him. This is exactly what King Robin is proud of with this plan. He had actually discovered a long time ago that the symbiote that Batman used to repair his injuries was not simple.
Originally, Robin King was just curious about where this seemingly endless self-healing ability came from, but as he studied it, he found that it seemed to be vaguely connected to somewhere in the outside world. It was along this point that Robin King found the Arkham Knight and learned part of his story with Batman by reading his memory.
So King Robin deliberately kept inflicting wounds on Batman to stimulate the symbiote, and used the power of the five-dimensional devil to interfere with the symbiote's thinking, allowing it to send a distress signal to the Arkham Knight in an emergency.
After the distress signal was sent, the Arkham Knight was naturally in a state of panic. In his prime, the Arkham Knight could easily deal with these traps, but when he was confused, his sword would naturally be slower. If the Arkham Knight who was really in a panic ran here, he would definitely suffer.
Unfortunately, it wasn't the Arkham Knight who came, but the Red Hood who had strong opinions about the story.
Ever since hearing the story of Batman and Arkham Knight in this universe, Red Hood has been feeling angry.
He had to admit that there was a time when his death was the most special thing about him among all the Robins, and the topic between him and Batman always came up with this.
But later, Schiller came to the main universe. After a series of events happened when Batman took Red Hood to see a psychiatrist, Schiller said to the Hood, "What makes you special to Batman will no longer be your death."
At first Red Hood couldn't understand, but later he gradually discovered that his relationship with Batman had indeed undergone a subtle change. They began to talk about the process of seeing a psychiatrist, what books could help relieve their mental state, and even talked about some mechanical structure and vehicle engineering.
They all knew that the tragedy had happened, but they also realized at the same time that they needed to let it go.
This happened very naturally. The two parties didn't even discuss it or mention it. Other people who watched it all had no doubts about it. They thought it was normal. Some people didn't even realize that this change had taken place.
But in this universe, Red Hood does have to admit that what the Arkham Knight of this universe encountered was worse, but neither of them seems to have any intention of letting this matter go.
Not to mention Batman, Red Hood really can't understand why Arkham Knight must emphasize this matter. In fact, he has been trapped in this kind of emotional relationship for a long time, as if the connection he established with everyone was because of his death.
It’s as if he is alive now because he died in the past. He is alive now and faces everyone, but all everyone cares about is his death that time.
Red Hood was once deeply trapped, feeling miserable, wanting to change but unable to do so, and then one day he was saved.
But now it seems that the Arkham Knight of this universe is not only not troubled by this relationship, but even complacent, and is ready to maintain this relationship forever, making everyone look at him as if they are looking at a corpse resurrected from the dead, and talking to him as if they are talking to a grave.
Red Hood completely couldn't understand what kind of mentality this was, and he was very aware that the Arkham Knight was addicted to it, not to mention the damage it caused to himself. He himself didn't realize that asking others to watch his grave was also a drain and harm to others.
Just because you want to stay in the past, you can't just drag everyone else to stay in the past with you, even if that person is Batman.
If it were anyone else, Red Hood might not be able to use moral kidnapping to demand that the other person get out of the psychological shadow, but Arkham Knight is another self, and he acts so caring, wouldn't other people who meet him think that other isosceles also care a lot?
This will bring a lot of trouble, Red Hood thought with a little anger. Just now when the Robins from the Arkham Universe were telling stories, the way Nightwing and Red Robin looked at him was a little bit strange. That look was like, "Are you sure you're as fine as you appear to be?"
As I said, when people think "no, you don't have to explain", there is basically no room for explanation. When they adopt an attitude of "I understand, I understand everything", it becomes a fact even if it is the fact.
What does that guy's frightening fragility have to do with me? Red Hood has been angry all the way, is it that I have to take the blame for a poor guy with a frail mind in this universe? I have struggled so hard to get out of this predicament, and I am back to my original form in one move, right?
The Red Hood was already angry, and was caught to clean up the mess for the Arkham Knight. Needless to say, he was furious. He had also been hanging around the streets of Gotham since he was a child, and he was not someone who could be scolded by Bruce Wayne, a young master who grew up in an ivory tower.
Although King Robin is cruel, bad, and inhumane, when it comes to swearing, ten of him put together are no match for a street kid. It's the same as even if Crazy Laugh comes, if you ask him to only verbally insult a rapper, he may not be able to swear better.
The more Red Hood thought about it, the angrier he got, and the more he cursed, the harsher it became. It can't be said that he was executing a plan, but rather that the whole story was filled with personal grudges.
It wasn't enough to just scold Robin King for these traps and childish actions, he also started to scold the Joker, the culprit who caused this situation. How could he scold the Joker without scolding Batman? As he walked along the ruins of the Capitol, he cursed the ancestors of this group of people for eighteen generations.
King Robin has never seen such a situation. He is not afraid of being scolded by others, but when others stop scolding him after a while, isn't this a bit disrespectful to me?
I set so many traps for you, but you only cursed me once out of ten sentences, and the rest were all about the Joker and Batman. How can I be worse than the Joker and Batman?
This can be regarded as stepping on King Robin's tail, because he came here with an unspeakable secret, which is also the reason why he wants to get an answer from Batman so much now.
The being his master recruited was a combination of the Joker and Batman. King Robin had a little friction with him before, so King Robin began to have his own plans and naturally wanted to find out what was going on with this guy.
But this is not something that can be found out through investigation, and Robin King did not dare to ask directly, so he chose to find another way to find another combination of Batman and the Joker, and finally found Arkham Batman.
He has a secret little thought that he cannot express directly, which is that he feels that he is no worse than the combination of Batman and the Joker, because he is a naturally evil Batman, unique in the universe. This time he wants to prove that he is stronger than such a Batman, and he wants to make this kind of Batman submit wholeheartedly to regain the ground he lost in the previous friction.
As a result, even though Red Hood has been cursing for a long time, the final focus is still on Batman and the Joker, as if he is just an insignificant introduction to this pair of opponents. Can King Robin tolerate this?
He directly ordered the crazy Robins stationed in the Capitol to rush forward and tear the Red Hood to pieces immediately.
But unfortunately Red Hood did not come unprepared. Before he left, Robin and the others stripped Spider-Man of all his equipment. He could not wear the spider-suit because of his body size. But now the newbie Spider-Man who joins the Spider-Corps has more than just a suit.
Because Nick was too worried that these new little bastards would get into trouble because of their recklessness and recklessness, so he prepared all kinds of defensive measures for them.
In addition to the enhanced spider silk launcher, there are also laser shields, nano-reconnaissance robots, time jump devices (only applicable to Marvel), swarms of drones that can form a mother nest, mechanical strong eyes, staffs containing five shield spells, etc., big and small, piecemeal, it can be said that it is armed to the teeth.
This set of novice gift packs exerted an even more powerful force on Red Hood, because he had more combat experience and was better at street fighting in confined spaces. He used all kinds of switching and roundabout tactics to perfection. Several teams of Crazy Robins were unable to do anything to him and were beaten by him until they saw stars.
While Robin King was cursing trash in Wayne Tower, he angrily took out a small bottle from his belt and shouted to the air: "Tavide, Tavide, go right now and get rid of that guy wearing a red hood! Otherwise I will put you back into the bottle, do you hear me?!"
"The bottle! The key is the bottle!" Barbara shouted into Red Hood's communicator, "Your nano reconnaissance robots are in bottles. Pour them out and use the bottle to catch the five-dimensional man! His name is Tavide!"
"How do you catch it?!"
"I don't know, try it!"
With a whoosh, a small black shadow appeared in front of Red Hood's eyes. Before he could grasp the specific image, a huge force hit his chin.
With a bang, Red Hood was knocked to the ground.
He rolled on the ground, gripped the bottle tightly, pulled the cap off, and was then thrown out by a huge force. He rolled on the ground several times and retched.
Then he stretched out his hand, held out the bottle, and called out to the mouth of the bottle: "Tavid! Come in! Tavid!"
"Read it backwards!" Jason yelled.
"Come in! DeVita!"
Whoosh—bang!
Red Hood grabbed the bottle in his hand with a look of surprise. He lowered his head and saw the pitiful five-dimensional little devil in the bottle.
