Vol.2 - Chapter 29 – The shitty people who come out of this shitty place Arkham are really unfriendly, fuck--

Mason, who is still trying to find a way out of the chaotic Arkham Asylum, does not know that the turbulence caused by his previous actions will result in a failure of the Assassin Alliance today.

A quick look at "pawread.com" will leave you more fulfilled.

But even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care.

Because there are more troublesome things in front of him.

Mason, holding a reliable hunting rifle, and Old K with his companions, "sneaked" their way to the Arkham Asylum lobby, killing several men in black with assassination methods, and finally arrived safely.

But when they were not far from the exit, they heard Harley muttering quietly beside them.

"Is that Dr. Crane?"

As soon as Mason raised his gun, he felt the female doctor behind him quickly approaching and enveloped him in the invisibility cloak at a clumsy but timely moment.

Obviously, this kind-hearted doctor didn't want another fight to happen.

In front of the two of them, Dr. Jonathan Crane, who was supposed to have left work and returned, silently walked over with his black briefcase.

"Hmm?"

Dr. Crane, who had a very urban elite style, looked puzzled at the stopped elevator in front of him. He pushed his expensive business glasses and frowned as he took out a communicator and said:

"Commander, send someone to inspect the medical elevator leading to the underground. It has been damaged! I suspect someone slipped out from underground without alarming you...

Maybe it's Batman?"

"It can't be him!"

A cold voice of a woman sounded from the communicator, with a decisive tone:

"The Red Knight personally disabled him, I'm sure of it."

"Well, well, it's the "Knight" who suddenly appeared and became the new star of the organization. I've heard enough of his news recently."

Dr. Crane sneered and then switched the communicator to another frequency. He coughed and took off his glasses while saying to the communicator:

"First to fifth squads, this is temporary commander "Scarecrow". I command you to immediately seal off all roads near Arkham and closely monitor anyone leaving here without a pass.

Shoot anyone without a pass!

Airborne squad, release the drones and prepare for backup..."

"Bang"

Before Dr. Crane, also known as Scarecrow, finished speaking, Mason's gun butt slammed heavily on the back of his head from behind.

Harley, who finally saw the true face of this "beast-hearted" colleague, screamed and smashed the bottle in her hand on Scarecrow's dazed forehead.

The petrification potion splattered on the bloody head, turning the petrified Scarecrow into a statue maintaining an embarrassing posture within a few seconds without even having time to call for help.

Mason gestured a thumbs-up to the gasping Dr. Harley and picked up the communicator from the ground, shouting into it with a hoarse voice:

"Attack! We are under attack, between the third and fourth floors! Scarecrow commander has been knocked down! Repeat, we are under attack, it's Batman!

It's Batman, ah!"

After a pretentious scream, Mason smashed the communicator on the ground and stomped on it hard.

He casually picked up Scarecrow's briefcase and didn't bother to look at the petrified unlucky guy on the ground. With Harley protected by the invisibility cloak, they ran towards the exit of Arkham Asylum.

"Boom"

Just as they rushed out of the main building, a strange loud noise erupted from behind them. Mason turned his head and saw a fountain of "mud" spraying out of the windows of the asylum's first floor, sweeping through the surrounding area like a storm.

"It's Clayface! They released him, they're really crazy! My patient's mental state has been unstable recently, and he will definitely cause a commotion before obeying!

This place is finished."

Harley screamed, and Mason's heart sank.

The invisibility cloak was a perfect infiltration tool when not in combat, but it did have its drawbacks. It could shield their presence and hide their figures, but it could not teleport Mason and Harley to another dimension.

In their hidden state, they could exempt most detection methods, but they still had a physical form.

Faced with the current scene of mud fountain eruption on the screen, the mud dots flying towards them quickly destroyed the invisibility cloak and forced them to reveal their figures.

"Run!"

Mason pushed Dr. Harley away.

In the next moment, he was surrounded by the surging living mud.

The insane patients released by the men in black, plus the super villain Clayface, seemed to be in a bad mood. They howled and manipulated the flowing mud to create several humanoid creatures like "mud monsters" in front of Mason.

In the muddy pits around them, several bodies of men in black who were "drowned" were sinking into the mud one by one.

"Bang"

Quickly drawing his gun and activating it, Mason raised his double-barreled pistol and accurately blew off the head of the nearest mud monster.

But the other mud monsters laughed mockingly one after another, as if reciting lines, saying to Mason:

"Attacking mud with steel is like extinguishing fire with wood! Pitiful mouse, useless, useless!"

These guys rushed towards Mason, and the muddy faces without features approached while screaming.

They also shouted together:

"Your face belongs to me!"

"Are bullets really useless?"

With a click, Mason opened the gun barrel and loaded two golden single-head bullets. He hummed and said:

"Well, why don't you guys feel it with all your heart?"

The mud monsters paused for a moment, and then they felt a strange force erupting rapidly within the shared body of mud they were in.

That extremely cold breath was like a roaring evil spirit in the distorted soul, and the applied weakness made them retreat in even greater panic.

The cursed metal shot by Mason stayed in a certain part of the mud pit, and the last curse from the destroyed empire made these seemingly invincible mud monsters explode one after another.

They were weakened.

Magic!

It's vicious magic!

"Ah! Freak! Another magic freak!"

The mud face was infuriated by this vicious attack. It screamed and swung its fists, stretching its arms like a certain rubber man, and turned them into heavy hammers to smash Mason who was trying to escape. The young man rolled on the ground to avoid the blow, and when he got up, he grabbed the penguin umbrella.

Although the bulletproof umbrella surface had not been repaired yet, its other functions were intact.

While the mud face was preparing to smash Mason with a hammer, the raised umbrella tip sprayed out fierce flames. In the boiling flames, any mud that approached quickly dried up and solidified, making the super villain cursed and in pain, howling and retreating in panic.

"Who's my favorite doggie?"

Mason exclaimed and picked up the briefcase, retracting the still confused MoMo into it. He also took the opportunity to pick up some samples of the mud face's flesh and blood from the ground.

Then he straddled the flying motorcycle and flew away before the other assassins could catch up.

But immediately, precise gunshots rang out from below.

Several sparks danced on Mason's beloved flying motorcycle, but it didn't leave any scars on this magically modified vehicle. However, Mason felt the threat.

There was a powerful sniper below, and he couldn't take off without taking care of him.

So the young man hovered in the air for a lap, releasing several flying engineering bombs to approach from behind, and at the same time, he picked up the old K pistol and aimed at the steel gun of the sniper who was hiding and still moving quickly.

He also shot bullets in mid-air to blow up several Assassin Alliance drones that flew towards him, but the commotion here quickly attracted several helicopters that noticed him.

The firepower from the sky forced Mason to land on the ground.

He hadn't stabilized yet when a guy with a grotesque and nauseating pig-faced mask screamed and rushed out from his hiding place, wielding a blood-stained butcher knife towards Mason.

"Snap"

The petrification potion was thrown out and hit the butcher knife of this crazy pig-faced doctor. The splashing liquid turned him into a statue that fell on the ground, and also helped Mason block several bullets shot from above.

But the position of the sniper had already been locked.

Mason, riding on the motorcycle, dodged the suppressing firepower from above while detonating the flying bombs. In the blazing flames, a burly figure with a cool mechanical arm was blown out from the third floor and fell on the ground, all engulfed in flames.

KG Beast...

This bastard actually reached an agreement with the Assassin Alliance so quickly?

"Oo!"

Another loud explosion came from a distance, making Mason raise his head suddenly.

He twisted the handlebar and ascended again, only to see Harley's car, which had just entered the highway, turned into a fireball in the explosion. This made the young man frown and flew low to the vicinity.

The good news was that he didn't find Harley's body in the burning car, only found the discarded invisibility cloak and some scattered potions.

And around the burning and exploding vehicle, Mason unexpectedly saw several leaves of strange plants that were ignited.

The pursuers behind were getting closer, and Mason knew he had to leave. Once he was entangled by the helicopters hovering in the sky, he wouldn't be able to retreat completely.

"Boom"

However, at this moment, a helicopter flying in the air was suddenly hit by some kind of attack, causing it to lose balance and crash to the ground, triggering a large explosion. In the bright light of the rising flames, Mason keenly caught a familiar figure gliding from high in the sky and landing on the top floor of the now "extraordinary" Arkham.

At this moment, the crow's mouth of the female commander came true. The real member of the Bat family, Nightwing, had indeed arrived.

This scene made Mason clenched his fists and dialed Alfred's phone again.

"Afu, Nightwing has just appeared in Arkham. Can I confirm that it's him? Is this your or Batman's arrangement?"

"Master Grayson? He didn't inform me that he would come to Gotham!"

Alfred also exclaimed on the other end, obviously the sudden appearance of the young master was not some kind of "suicide tactic" of the Bat family.

"I will immediately arrange for the Batwing to go for rescue."

Alfred, the "Butler Knight," reacted quickly. Mason nodded and hung up the call. Because of Nightwing's timely intervention, there were only two helicopters left chasing after him, and one had already turned back to return to Arkham Asylum.

Now he could safely leave.

But Mason hesitated for a few seconds while riding the motorcycle, and finally, in a large arc turn, drove the vehicle towards the brightly lit Arkham.

He had no obligation to save Nightwing.

But he didn't want to leave him behind either.

After all, they had fought together and had some camaraderie. And although Dick Grayson was a bit fussy, he was indeed a good guy. It was not a pleasant thing to witness such a person die in this chaotic night.

Even if he retreated ten thousand steps, he had to bring back the intact body when he returned.
