"Gaga, such delicious sins! Such lost souls! Stop struggling and become the nourishment for my little darlings."

On a high platform outside the Bat Cave, a super villain named "Three-Headed Dog" wearing a black robe and a mask was shouting loudly while waving a strange wooden staff.

The guy who suddenly appeared in the battle didn't use any damn magic, but as soon as he appeared, he released three zombie beasts.

There were tiger-like zombie cats, muscular black dogs with spiked collars, and the largest and most ferocious black three-headed dog monster.

These ferocious creatures were attracted by the scent of blood and howled as they pounced on the elite members of the Assassin Alliance who were fighting against the Bat Family.

The assassins who had just rushed out of the Bat Cave to prepare for defense were attacked from both sides, and a row of people fell down with just one blow.

Under the sinister and gloomy laughter of Three-Headed Dog, the monsters began their slaughter, forcing the supervillain and commander of the Assassin Alliance, Bain, to immediately order a retreat to the Bat Cave.

But for the members of the Bat Family who rushed in, the appearance of this evil Three-Headed Dog seemed to be "just right".

Although they all understood that the guy who destroyed Blackgate Prison before was also a genuine villain, witnessing the internal struggle between evil and evil could buy the righteous ones some time.

"Quick, put this on."

Catwoman, who came in advance for reconnaissance, landed on a flying motorcycle.

She casually threw a few bottles of beginner's black blood potion to signal the Bat Kids and Afuo to use them quickly. This special potion made by Mason had become one of the "combat supplies" of the Gotham City Police Department.

When applied to the body, it would produce an unpleasant smell that repelled the zombies. As long as they didn't actively attack, they could safely pass through the battlefield of the zombie beasts.

While they sneaked through the area ravaged by the zombie beasts and rushed into the Bat Cave, Mason, driving the Batmobile, also rushed over and launched a rocket attack, followed by a burst of icy blue laser beams that froze several unlucky assassins and were then torn apart by the approaching zombie beasts.

It was as crisp as eating a popsicle.

However, the elite Asasin mercenaries under the command of Commander Asa were indeed formidable. After losing some people, they reorganized their defense line and released their "secret weapon".

A large number of flying monsters flew out of the Bat Cave, and under Mason's gaze, they flew low and poured firepower on the ground with their weapons, dropping bombs to drive away the zombie beasts.

These guys had bat-like wings, but maintained a strange half-human, half-bat form. Their mutated claws held weapons, and they carried samurai swords on their backs for close combat.

Like a combination of bats and ninjas.

"Blow them up! Blow up that man in black!"

Bain, wearing a breathing mask and strong in physique, roared angrily at the army of bat people in the sky. Then, with brute force, he leaped down from the high platform and stood in front of two Bat Kids who were about to enter the Bat Cave.

He clenched his fist and grinned, his muscular neck and Nightwing, as well as Tim, fought fiercely.

This powerful Asasin mercenary was astonishingly strong, completely not falling behind in a one-on-two fight. On the other side, Alfred and Catwoman were quickly entangled by a group of black-clad warriors.

But Mason, who had been freezing and attacking all the way, quickly opened up a path for them with precise marksmanship and deadly freezing lasers.

As Mason walked along, he casually picked up the briefcase dropped by the Kite Man, but also discovered the biggest flaw of the newly acquired "new toy," the Freeze Gun.

"This thing doesn't even have a kill prompt..."

The young man regretfully put the cool Freeze Gun back into the weapon slot behind him, and then took out the accurate hunting rifle, Old K, with his other hand. He began to snipe and harvest heads while hiding in the Bat Cave with the help of the invisibility cloak.

"Bang!"

The flying bullet exploded a metal can thrown towards Alfred in mid-air, causing a large amount of pale green gas to leak out.

Alfred, who was once an ace agent in his youth, reacted quickly. He shot down the warrior in front of him, and then took out a bat-shaped gas mask from his tool kit behind him and put it on his face.

This shot made the sneak attack by "Scarecrow," another commander of the Assassin Alliance who was standing high, in vain. The once gentle and polite Dr. Jonathan Crane had already put on his "battle suit."

Not only did he wear the strange coarse straw mask, but he even changed his suit to a rough cloth robe with a very "hoo" style.

This hardcore COS purist even found an old rusty sickle from somewhere to hold in his hand to match his new image.

"Hahaha, face your fears, Bat Kids! The gates of hell have opened here!"

He laughed wildly with a team of bat warriors guarding the platform high above the Bat Cave, constantly throwing the gas canisters in his hand towards the ground.

Those canisters would release Scarecrow's most proficient fear gas upon landing, but the Assassin Alliance warriors guarding here were equipped with special masks and were not affected.

The Bat Team's battle suits were also equipped with breathing masks, but they were slightly unprepared for the almost saturated nerve gas bombardment from Scarecrow.

A few seconds later, the dynamic duo and the trio of Tim, who were still able to fight back against Bain with coordination, quickly fell into a disadvantage under the invasion of the fear gas.

Afuo and Catwoman were slightly better off.As Mason's teammate, Catwoman never lacked various professional potions. The combination of two bottles of stimulant and sedative was enough to counter the mental attacks caused by the fear gas in a short period of time.

Mason held the potion in his hand but did not drink it immediately.

He moved his nose to inhale a bit of fear gas, and this thing took effect very quickly, almost instantly making the young man's world spin...

"Unknown toxin detected, analyzing... The toxin is 'Scarecrow's fear gas', which stimulates the brain to release special substances in a short period of time, enhancing the senses while forcing the inhaler into a state of 'fear' and 'hallucination'.

The duration and effectiveness of this state depend on the inhaler's willpower.

The toxin is highly toxic and excessive inhalation can permanently damage the brain structure. Low willpower may cause permanent insanity.

Formula analysis in progress.

Tip: Obtaining the physical substance will immediately unlock the fear gas formula."

"Gulu gulu"

When Mason saw some strange little people dancing in a queue in front of him, he immediately drank the potion in his hand.

The ancient magic potion took effect very quickly, allowing Mason to quickly overcome the state of fear. At this time, the already complex terrain of the bat cave had become indistinguishable between friend and foe due to the scattered fear gas from the Scarecrow.

This made it convenient for Mason to continue infiltrating.

He used his gun to take down several low-flying bat warriors, took some blood samples, and then took out his grappling gun to shoot himself up to the platform where the bat jets were stored. He then knelt down, aimed, and locked on, shooting in one breath.

With a deep explosion, a cursed bullet flew out of the barrel towards the crazy Scarecrow's head.

Just as it was about to hit, a hidden mud wall suddenly rose up from under the Scarecrow's feet, blocking the cursed bullet that would have blown his head off.

"Haha, your sneak attack is useless!"

After protecting himself with the mud on his face, the Scarecrow immediately reacted and grabbed a gun, aiming and pulling the trigger towards Mason. The bat warriors behind him also took off and flew towards the attacker.

But Mason, who was rolling behind the bat jet, took out three bottles of petrification potion and shook them in his hand like shaking a cola. As the bat warriors approached, he threw the potions out, pulled out his dual-barreled hand cannon, and jumped out in a "Quick Draw" motion, shooting and shattering all three bottles.

The mercury-like liquid splashed, pouring onto the bat warriors.

Instantly, more than half of them screamed and turned into stone statues, falling to the ground. The rest were swept away by Mason's assault-mode bullets and forced to retreat.

But the Scarecrow continued to attack.

However, a faint sound like a dragonfly spreading its wings from behind made him turn around in confusion, and then he saw eight gray flying engineering bombs surrounding his location.

One of the bombs with a loudspeaker emitted Mason's cold and eerie "voiceover".

"Oo"

"Boom"

The eight bombs that launched a surprise attack from behind exploded simultaneously. Even though there was a completely unscientific villain like the mud face protecting him with a mud wall, the intense explosion at such a close distance still made the Scarecrow scream and fall from the sky. In mid-air, he was hit by Mason's shot and fell into a pool below the bat cave.

Another one down.

Mason shrugged. He surveyed the battlefield below the bat cave.

After confirming that all the members of the bat family were either fighting or busy resetting the firewall, he put on his invisibility cloak, took out his grappling gun, and swung towards the depths of the bat cave.

The chaos at the moment was the best opportunity to sneak into the master's treasure trove.

"Don't run!"

A deep roar erupted as Mason, light as a monkey, landed on the ground. Mud-like objects quickly swept in from all directions, turning into "miniature people" that blocked Mason's path.

"What's going on?"

Mason raised an eyebrow as he looked at the mud face clones surrounding him. He switched to his freeze gun and held it in his hand, sarcastically saying:

"You were quite impressive when I saw you earlier. Each of those clones was three meters tall. How come they have become pitiful 'little beans' now?

Is it because some big bad guy cursed you and made you weak?

I guess it must be hard to endure, right?"

"Damn wizard!"

The mud face roared.

Under Mason's provocation, it struggled to merge several small figures together to form its true form, which was a lump of rotten mud that could only vaguely resemble a human shape.

Although it was fundamentally still a human affected by supernatural powers, its strange form now had nothing to do with humans.

This seemingly not very intelligent guy screamed and shouted:

"Take away your curse! It makes me weak... and uncomfortable! Those metals, they howl and ask me to put them back in the treasure chest. They scream in my mind!

No!

Enough!

Stop!

No!

Take it away, I beg you!"

This guy had been shot twice by Mason with cursed bullets in Arkham Asylum before, and just now, he was hit by another cursed bullet while protecting the Scarecrow. Although it took six bullets to equal one intact devil coin, for an individual like the mud face, whose existence was already very unstable, the curse effect applied to its chaotic soul would be stronger.

It was truly in great pain.In front of Mason, the mud-faced creature was howling with its muddy hands clutching its head, but it did not launch an attack. Despite its harsh tone, it was clear that it was pleading for Mason to spare it.

This was probably a classic case of "speaking the weakest words in the harshest tone."

"Do you want me to retrieve those bullets?"

Mason asked.

The mud-face nodded vigorously.

Two clumps of moving mud rose from under Mason's feet, forming into palms. In them were three curse bullets that had penetrated the soft material without deforming.

It had tried to throw them away.

But it was no use!

The mentally stimulating curse was still in effect, and it was clear that only Mason, who had released them, had the ability to truly "take them away."

"Help the Bat family repel the League of Assassins, then return to Arkham to serve your sentence."

Mason snapped his fingers and said,

"If you can do that, I'll help you lift the curse."

"What if you break your promise?"

The mud-face roared.

Mason shrugged and said,

"Look at this adorable monster, naively thinking it can negotiate. You need to hurry, Mud-face. The curse's mental oppression will intensify, and if you delay, you'll completely lose your sanity.

You, who are already unstable, will go mad forever.

I don't think that's what you want, is it?"

"Roar!"

The mud-face angrily transformed into many muddy tentacles, wrapping Mason up. It seemed to want to intimidate the young man, but he was not scared at all.

He just said quietly,

"After all, I'm a friend of Batman. Compared to your assassin friends, I think my credibility is higher, don't you think?"

A few seconds later, the muddy substance quickly "receded."

Under Mason's gaze, it surged towards the narrow area filled with fear gas, with the very disgruntled roar of the mud-face.

Mason glanced at his battle clothes, which were filthy from the mud. He reached out to touch the stains, kneading them into a small ball of mud in his palm, only to find that this thing also had its own consciousness.

The mud in his hand transformed into a miniature mud-face, roared at Mason, jumped off his palm, and quickly disappeared into the ground. This peculiar nature made the young man squint his eyes.

He had a genius idea.

"What's the difference between an alchemist who doesn't use a slime monster and a salted fish?"

Mason stroked his chin, draped in an invisibility cloak, and walked into the passage in front of him. As he headed towards Batman's "treasure room", he thought,

"Perhaps Mud-face can help me achieve this long-cherished wish, but I can't keep it. This guy, who has eaten several of his own kind, is a villainous madman who can't be controlled.

But I might be able to achieve my goal in another way.

Here we are!"

Mason, who had walked through the passage, saw a heavy closed door.

It seemed that the League of Assassins, after occupying this place, had not completely cracked Batman's multi-layered defense system, which meant that the things inside were intact and had not been taken away.

"Cool!"

Mason whistled, looking at the complex electronic lock on the door that used passwords, voice, iris, and fingerprint protection. Obviously, with his current engineering skills, he couldn't crack this thing.

Even a direct explosion wouldn't open this door, which was probably capable of withstanding a small nuclear bomb, made of composite material.

The young man took a step back, took out his phone, and dialed a number he had memorized. A few seconds later, the call was connected, and there was only unspeakable silence on the other end.

"Barbara, it's Mason."

He took the initiative to say,

"I know you're having a hard time right now, but I need your help. Access the Bat network that's been invaded by the League of Assassins and help me unlock a complex lock.

What?

Why should you do this?

Hmm, good question."

Mason thought for a moment, and said gently,

"Grayson is outside getting beaten up by Bain, and he's also inhaled a certain amount of fear gas. You know what Bain did to Bruce's spine, right?

I don't think you want to see your boyfriend spending the rest of his life in a wheelchair with you, do you?

Now, I need something 'powerful' to help him.

So please, Barbara."
