Trajectory of Dawn in the World of American Comics

Chapter 101 53. Unfortunately, I didn't come here to be anyone's shadow--【3650】

Jason Todd was a favorite of Batman when he was Robin.

Compared with Eldest Younger Grayson, Er Tong is irritable and impulsive, but his fighting talent is much stronger than Elder Younger. He completed all of Batman's training in less than half the time Grayson took.

When he was Robin, he was also the guy who could scare the villains of Gotham.

Batman and Young Master refrain from using violence.

Even in the face of heinous criminals, at most they will be sent to the critically injured ward for "slight punishment", but if you are unfortunate enough to encounter a night patrol with two barrels, then the criminals will go to the ICU most of the time.

Broken ribs are just an appetizer, and occasionally a comminuted femoral head or a few leg bones are removed to prevent them from doing more evil.

This is normal operation.

In general, Er Tong was a full-fledged "violent" before encountering turmoil in his life. He may be more interested in getting "free sandbags" than preventing crimes.

Just because of this bad habit, he was reprimanded by Batman.

And after being hanged by the clown, he was dropped in the coffin by the League of Assassins, soaked in the pool of Lazarus and resurrected. After a long period of training in that assassin organization, his violent habits were further upgraded to "ruthless and cruel". this point.

The pool of Lazarus can bring people back from the dead.

But this resurrection comes at a price.

Just look at how vicious and bloodthirsty that twelve-year-old Damian is, that thing is by no means a godsend.

Anyway, on this evening that was turning into a rainstorm, in the dark alley where Batman lost his parents, in the "Fateful Place" where Jason Todd first met Batman and tried to remove the tires of the Batmobile.

The dazed and tormented soul engages in a deadly fight with another man he hates.

He planned to use the assassination technique he learned in the League of Assassins combined with his superb shooting skills to form a "gun fighting technique" to beat Mason, a bastard, into paralysis or something.

Then Mason slammed his face with golden lightning.

The umbrella, which looked no different from an ordinary umbrella, burst out with a dazzling electric current when it was swung. "Material" bat darts flew out from left to right and stuck at Jason's feet.

The red light spot was shining and detonated the engineering explosives, and the two barrels were blown up in the rain with a bang, and fell embarrassingly on the dirty ground.

"That's it?"

Mason grabbed the umbrella and said disdainfully:

"Did you shoot your brains out when you slept with Thalia? You forgot everything Bruce taught you, did you? Or do you think I look like a better bully than Big and Young? "

"boom"

Mason answered with a large caliber bullet.

The open penguin umbrella blocked the bullets, but Jason obviously modified the ammunition so that it has the ability to explode in micro-explosions in addition to the impact force.

The impact made Mason take a step back, but the umbrella made of double bulletproof material was obviously tougher than before.

Let this explosive bullet fail to break through the defense.

But Jason's body strengthened by the Lazarus Pool quickly got rid of the paralysis. He no longer underestimated the enemy, but took advantage of Mason's open umbrella to block his vision and rushed forward, firing four bullets to force Mason to the ground. The corner is ready to step forward for execution.

But what he doesn't know is.

Mason, who has turned on the combat assist, doesn't need eyes to catch the opponent's traces at all. Even if he is blindfolded, he can perfectly grasp the opponent's movements.

Therefore, at the same time that Er Tong kicked off the wall and was about to open a hole in Mason's head with a bullet, the tip of the young man's umbrella rose and turned the handle in his hand.

"puff"

The green fear gas came oncoming, causing Er Tuan to be sprayed straight in the rain. The action was very similar to Er Tuan actively rushing towards Mason's attack.

This is probably the legendary "following the arrow method".

Not Mason's shot.

The main reason is that the second barrel took the face well!

This guy had already lost the "Scarlet Knight" battle suit specially designed and made for him by the Assassin's League in the previous battle. Without the protection of the high-tech helmet, he inhaled a mouthful of fear gas during this gap.

His mind was immediately attacked.

The dark alley in front of him suddenly twisted in front of his eyes, and Mason holding an umbrella overlapped more and more with the figure who had killed him in his eyes.

As he staggered back and fired, he could even hear that weird and maniacal laughter.

But the performance of the second barrel is really good.

It is probably because he has experienced the torture of death and learned the secret method of protecting the mind in the League of Assassins, so that he was not overwhelmed by fear.

Although it is difficult to fight as vigorously as before, self-protection when retreating is still no problem.

However, keeping the distance is an extremely advantageous tactic for Mason as a shooter. He threw a golden high-voltage current and blasted it at Ertong, and then pulled out the revolver-style crit cannon on his waist. Take a deep breath.

Eye of Death, activate!

The dark alley under the heavy rain and the figure of the second barrel shooting bullets in front of him stopped suddenly. Mason raised his gun and fired five shots at the second barrel.

The next moment his senses recovered, five bullets whizzed and knocked two barrels of guns flying and opened three holes in his right arm, left leg and abdomen.

In order not to kill him, Mason also thoughtfully replaced the small-caliber bullet.

The severe pain caused Jason to fall to the ground as he retreated. He struggled in the rain as if he had been crushed by the fear gas and even let out a miserable scream.

But Mason wasn't fooled at all.

While holding his umbrella as a shield, he reloaded the gun and aimed it at Erbai's head, saying:

"What are you pretending to do? If the Scarlet Knight is knocked down so easily, you are not qualified to be the secret weapon used by the League of Assassins against Bruce.

A man who can take down Batman head-on won't be finished with a few bullets.

tell me! Jason.

Are you taking advantage of Barbara?

Or do you mean you don't want to draw her into your shit? "

"Is there any difference?"

Seeing that Mason would not be fooled, Jason also gave up the tactics of showing weakness.

He knelt on the ground on one knee and did not pick up the gun on the ground. Instead, he held his hands behind his back. With the movement of his wrists, two black assassin's blades, one long and one short, were pulled out.

Much like a Japanese sword, but with a slightly different shape.

The two gadgets hummed eerily as they were taken out, shimmering ominous red in the rain.

"Is it the Great Caste Blade that Lei Xiaogu rewarded you?"

Mason raised his eyebrows and said:

"That's what you used to knock Bruce out and poison him, right? Nice booty, but tell me, Jason! Barbara almost killed herself because of your intervention.

She is your sister!

You bastard!

You almost killed her. "

"I sent someone to get her, but she refused to come to me!"

Jason, whose hair was soaked by rain, yelled:

"She just wanted to express her dissatisfaction with Bruce in her heart. She has been tortured for too long! You blind people can only see her forced smile!

Only I can understand the pain in Barbara's heart.

I never thought of hurting her.

I even got her Lazarus Pool water to get her back on her feet, but she refused, even when she was determined to leave this world, she still didn't want to hurt her friends and family.

But Bruce failed her!

Just like he failed me."

"Very good. I am quite satisfied with this answer, except for the speech of you, a rebellious boy who is like a second-year student."

Mason nodded, and said to the communicator plugged in his ear:

"Charles, the bombing is off."

"hum"

More than 20 flying bombs flew up from the garbage dumps on both sides behind Jason, and were recovered by the kite man wearing an invisibility cloak in the sky. This scene made Jason's heart shudder.

Mason didn't seem to be joking when he said he might be shoveled out

"You've been betrayed, poor man."

Mason put down his gun.

Said to Er Tong whose wound on his body had healed before him:

"Talia sold you to me, you idiot! Didn't Batman teach you not to fight on the battlefield the enemy chooses? Or did the Joker teach you that with a bloody crowbar?

To be able to fall twice in the same pit, it seems that the water in the Lazarus Pool is really harmful to intelligence.

Or maybe you let that mad woman down on you completely by abandoning her all the time? "

"You said this is the battlefield you chose?"

Jason showed an indescribable smile in the face of this ridicule.

The moment he stood up, he activated the button hidden in his boots. With the sound of a low explosion, the walls on both sides of Crime Alley collapsed with a bang.

Under Mason's gaze, this short dark alley quickly turned into a closed space with no way to go up and down, and the two barrels in front of him waved their wrists in the rain.

The humming Great Caste Blade cut through the rain with a light sound.

Ertong lowered his head, and said in a low voice as if saying his last words:

"Sorry, Mason Cooper, but I didn't think about getting out of here alive today, and maybe you, the one chosen as my replacement, can go to hell with me.

That way we have a companion on the road. "

"A substitute?"

Mason looked at Jason, who was walking towards him with a pair of knives, with a strange expression. He fired three shots in a row, and the flying bullets were easily split by the scarlet knight with his two knives.

Bullets were useless and the young man backed away with an umbrella in hand.

In the increasingly majestic downpour, he said:

"It turns out that you, like those idiots, thought that I was treated as your shadow to enter Batman's vision, and you, like them, thought that I approached Batman in order to become a member of the Bat family.

When will you guys really understand that the best way to pay homage to an idol is never to be him, worship is the emotion furthest from understanding.

Do you really think that the ultimate purpose of my coming to this world is just to be your shadow?

Stop looking down on people.

OK? "

Jason didn't answer.

He was just getting ready for the double-edged thrust. He knew that this guy Mason must have other hole cards, but he didn't care.

As he said, when he walked into this alley, he didn't even think about getting out alive.

As for the reason

"I saw your tattoo before, Mason. You covered it up well with magic, but that vicious pool gave me the ability to see the truth."

Two barrels said in a hoarse voice:

"You're with them! I'm sorry, but I can't allow you foreign bastards to live! This may be the last thing I, a person who shouldn't be alive, can do to this world."

"Hush!"

Mason raised his finger in the rain and made a soundless gesture.

Under the surprised gaze of the second barrel, Mason threw away the umbrella and the gun, and took out a delicate syringe-like thing from the luggage with his backhand.

Sighing and shaking his head, he stabbed the thing into his arm, and the cold blood flowed into his veins, causing great pain.

He twitched his cheeks and said hoarsely:

"You just said something you can't say, you bad boy. I'm sorry too, but Jason, it seems that we can't get along with each other today."

As the strange thing was injected into Mason's arm, a beast-like breath suddenly erupted from Mason's body.

The reverberation of the breath in the rainstorm changed Er Tong's expression drastically.

He no longer hesitated and stepped forward.

Two big caste blades, one long and one short, pierced Mason's chest staggeredly. One of them passed through the heart and pushed Mason back three steps, nailing him to the falling rock behind him.

However, this fatal attack did not make Jason feel the slightest sense of security in this torrential rain.

Therefore, Mason, who was pierced through the heart, not only did not die, but moved his neck and raised his head, a painful smile appeared in his wild eyes.

He was bleeding from the corner of his mouth but still smiling in the rain, looking at Jason Todd, whose expression changed drastically.

He said:

"Then allow me to introduce you to a new friend, Jason."

"puff"

Amidst the sound of tearing flesh and blood, three pale, blood-stained bone claws on the left and right thrust out from Mason's fists, piercing Ertu's abdomen and chest fiercely at a distance where Jason could not dodge.

Amidst the screams of the second barrel, and the more noisy noise of the rainstorm dripping down the crime alley and washing away all the blood, Mason said hoarsely:

"Call me 'Logan' for the next 30 minutes! Bear with me, this is bound to hurt a bit"

——

When Batman rushed to Crime Alley, all he saw was Mason who was lying on the ground looking miserable.

It was as if the young man had been swept by an invisible blade, and there were large and small wounds all over his body. He just leaned against the blood-stained wall and bandaged himself with difficulty in the rain.

Seeing that Mason was still alive, the master suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

With a whoosh, he landed in front of Mason and squatted down to inject him with a hemostatic pain shot. He looked at the chaotic surroundings like a gust of wind and a place where a terrifying beast had ravaged.

He said hoarsely:

"Is this what Jason did?"

"Damn it, that guy is like crazy."

Mason, whose face was covered in blood, said weakly:

"He attacked me on my way home from get off work, but he could have killed me, and I suspect he was just using me to express his displeasure with you and the Bat-Family.

Bruce, you really need to take a hard look at the way you get along with your Robins. "

"Sorry, Mason."

The master sighed in the rain, helped Mason up and walked towards Dr. Leslie's clinic. He whispered:

"Did Jason leave anything behind when he left?"

"He said he wasn't coming back."

Mason coughed and said:

"He said he was done with Gotham. He also said that the Joker's death made him lose his target, and after he beat me half to death, he asked me to convey his apologies to Barbara.

But he also promised that he would never join forces with the League of Assassins again.

I think he might be looking for some way to heal himself. After all, the water pollution in Lazarus Pool has a long-term impact on a person's sanity.

Speaking of which, how is Damian? How are you getting along? "

"That's why I came to you, Mason."

The master, who is not afraid of the heavens and the earth, will not frown no matter what hardships he faces, also rarely sighed in the rain, and said in a low voice:

"About Damian's question, I might need your help with alchemy. Interested in becoming the Wayne family's personal alchemist? Even though Alfred invited you, I still think it would be more formal if I invited again .”

"Let me think about it."

Mason shrugged and said:

"Now, I need to rest, and I hope Dr. Leslie can give me a quieter ward."

At the same time, in the basement of Mason's hut, in the empty area inside the opened magic suitcase, the kite man was numbly looking at Jason Todd, who was sent into the treatment cabin for life support.

The second barrel was almost torn apart!

If he hadn't been healed by the water from the Lazarus Pool in his body, and immediately poured a large amount of healing medicine on Mason when he regained his sanity from the blood rage of becoming Wolverine, the poor second barrel would probably be shoveled out Crime Alley is gone.

The kiteman almost watched the whole process.

He would feel trembling when he thought of the boss who was crazy like a beast just now.

"Boss's potion is so fucking evil!"

Charles complained:

"When you increase your strength, does your personality change as well?"
