Origin of all things Arkham

Chapter 171 There's Something More Outrageous Than This
Like a ferocious golem, the huge scarecrow shrouded in a huge shadow, forcing the little scarecrow Jonathan Klein back to the corner step by step, with no way to retreat.

"This...it's impossible..."

Jonathan knew that he shouldn't say such a sentence, but at this moment, he had completely lost his language system and logic system, and fell into a huge panic.

He thought Batman was someone like him who dared to face his own fears.

But the fact, the moment the cruel fact was placed before his eyes, he collapsed almost instantly.

"Ah, ah! No! Don't!"

The gigantic scarecrow with Lynn's face let out an evil laugh, rattling in a cascade, which sounded like the death cry of an old crow with a broken voice, a chilling cry that echoed through the soul He almost wanted to pull his tongue out of his mouth, wrap it around his neck, and hang him on the gallows.

Huge, withered palms shaped like tattered straws stretched out, grabbed the little scarecrow, caught him in his nearly aphasic gibberish, and threw him into the sky.

And when he landed, what was waiting for him was a big mouth full of fangs and sharp teeth.

"No!"

Jonathan Klein stretched out his hand helplessly, grabbed a straw scattered in the air, and together with it, fell into the mouth of the huge scarecrow.

………………

"Don't! Don't...don't!"

In the clearing, a man wearing a straw mask was lying on the ground, twisting his body, struggling, begging for mercy, and crying.

Beside him, Lin En, who was holding a camera, was recording his [skill effect] in a decent manner.

Obviously, the scarecrow is not as powerful as he thinks, at least for now, he can be called weak.

As far as Lin En knew, the Scarecrow villain was definitely a top predator among the criminals in Gotham.

He has a very good appearance, unlike Penguin, Killer Crocodile, and Bane, who are born villains like them.

He has a very smart mind, a very decent job, and a very good social status, which can completely support him to be a normal and outstanding person.

He also has an outstanding offensive ability throughout Gotham.

Compared with other Gotham villains, those guys who are thrown to other cities, or meet other superheroes, may die directly.But the scarecrow is different. Fear of poisonous gas is something that very few people can resist.

Unfortunately.

Lynn he met today was one of them.

And the old bat, of course, is another one.Not to mention the poisonous fear, the old bats can even forcibly resist the seven-color lamp ring, give them a turn to surrender, and then throw them away like old shoes, just throw them away.

When it comes to willpower, Green Lantern is not enough in front of the old bat.

This is the strength of Master Baiteman!
The scarecrow is active in Gotham, it's a bit true...

"Eh?"

He had already raised his hand and was about to end the sad life of the Scarecrow. Lynn suddenly thought that this guy might be able to keep him and contribute to the prosperity of Gotham with laughter and laughter.

"Hee hee hee... I thought of a fun..."

Lynn put down his hand, picked up the unconscious scarecrow with a smile, and made a call.

"Crooked, old bat. I want to give you a gift...

Um...not borrowing money, really not.

It's amazing to be rich, you...

It's not that I don't pay back, you see.

How can you look at me like that, Amitabha.

Um... Really not, um, um... If you say it again, I will go to your house and beat you in front of Alfred!
half an hour!Hurry up! "

Angrily hung up the phone, Lynn shook the scarecrow in a vicious manner, and when he woke up, he snarled and knocked him out again.

With Lynn's strength now, he finally understood Clark's suffering.

He is really easy to accidentally kill people.

Fortunately, his big mouth has its own healing ability, which is very good.

………………

After an unknown period of time, the Scarecrow woke up from his coma.

After only being dazed for a few seconds, he suddenly twitched his body, slapped the surrounding things indiscriminately, and shrank back in horror until his back was against the wall.

"I'm not...huh?"

The Scarecrow looked around suspiciously. There was nothing in his memory, nor anything that made him feel pain.

He was still behind the pile of old furniture, quietly looking at the street ahead.

But he clearly remembered that he had already waited for Batman, and he saw the true face of Batman, which was Lynn...

Lynn!right!The evil side of that Batman!
He quickly patted himself on the face again.

It's still impossible!

How is this, there is no injury at all?

"Could it be..."

He looked down at the pile of small bottles hidden on his body.

Could it be, that this thing leaked, and so, I fell into the horrors I wove?
Thinking of the huge scarecrow he saw with Lynn's face on it, he hesitated and slightly relieved.

It was definitely an illusion, yes.

"So, it was all a dream?"

Biting his lip, the Scarecrow sank into a level of self-doubt.

At the same time, Lynn and Batman were squatting behind a long old-fashioned drainage valve on the roof not far away, staring at the Scarecrow intently.

"Lyn, can this work?"

Even though Batman couldn't see Lynn's smiling face through the mask, the big funny smiley face on Lynn's weird mask proved that Lynn was definitely not doing anything serious this time.

"You really want me to..."

"That's right. Don't worry, his toxin will only make you fall into the deepest and most desperate fear.

Don't you review it several times in your heart every day? There is nothing to be afraid of. "

Although he really wanted to refute Lynn, Batman still couldn't refute.

Because what Lynn said was true, his inner world was absolutely in turmoil, with despair and fear running side by side.

"Ok."

Just take it as an exercise.With Lynn here, Batman can rarely feel a little relaxed.

It's also interesting to say that Batman, who is shrouded in anxiety and despair almost all the time, actually only puts down a little bit of his spiritual vigilance when he is around Lynn, and is no longer so cautious all the time.

The reason may be because Batman is sure that Lynn is trustworthy and entrusted.

The silent spiritual monologue swayed over and over again, Batman nodded, without saying anything, pulling the hook and lock, and went down the high wall.

Lynn, holding the camera, stayed on the high platform.

Behind the old furniture below, the Scarecrow's eyes widened, because he saw Batman again, and saw a picture that was almost a replica.

It's just that the Batman in front of him seems to be closer to the one he knows, the one described in the information.

So, was it just an illusion?

Probably so...

The Scarecrow has accepted such a fact in his heart.

So, when he saw the real Batman appearing in the same way, coming to him in the same way as described in his dream, in the same way...

Get ready to take off the bat mask.

"No way, it's really Lynn, huh, nothing is more distant than this...

Bruce Wayne? ! !
He's Batman...? ! !
Huge gift crab special!Damn it..."

Yes.

More outrageous plots appeared.

Even if it's an illusion, it can't be so illusory!
This, this, this... This illusion is too Mafak's illusion...

How can this be!Gotham is the most frightening, suffocating, ghosts and devils hovering in the night sky, and everyone is frightened by the news, the ultimate fear that both decent and villains are talking about: Batman.

It's actually the one who only knows how to prodigal and gossip about women, hangs around in the wine pool forever, can hire an entire ballet troupe to dance strips for himself, and buys 30 wineries in a year just for the convenience of drinking for himself...

That super-playboy, super-big-waste, walking moron: Bruce Wayne? !
What kind of shit joke is this!

It's not funny, it's scary!
Resisting the urge to wake himself up with a big mouth, the scarecrow swallowed hard, and looked down at his pocket with difficulty.

Did I unknowingly develop a new type of poison, a powerful hallucinogenic one?

Or is the coffee I drank today expired?

"I don't think I'm still in Arkham and haven't come out!"

In the end he pinched his own face, it hurt.

Feeling uneasy, he pinched his thigh again and twisted it twice, the pain was so painful that he wanted to cry.

Look again.

Or Bruce Wayne.

"What the fuc...k!"

This is really fantastic, who would have thought that Batman's real body turned out to be like this!
Why? !
The fire of doubt and curiosity in the scarecrow who discovered the shocking secret burned more than ever before.

Even a psychological genius like him can't imagine why a person like Bruce would do such... a weird thing.

"I'll find out soon, though."

Looking at the small bottle in his hand, the scarecrow checked it out and quietly threw it out.

……

What did Batman see.

It's nothing more than those things that he repeats in his mind every day.

He saw Lynn in the bat suit laughing wildly towards him, saw Lynn take off his mask, took out his lipstick, and painted himself a big, blood-red smiley face.

Seeing a mirror, seeing myself in the mirror, also painted with bright red color on the lips.

Why...so serious...

He heard three identical voices...

Seeing the three people gradually overlapping in the mirror...

Then, he raised his hand, clenched his fist, and slammed it hard, hard, at the mirror.

……

What did the Scarecrow see.

He saw Bruce Wayne, who had taken off his mask, close his eyes in pain.

Just like what he saw in his hallucinations, there was no screaming for help, nor crying and shaking in pain.

He just stood there quietly, clenched his fists tightly.

"Bruce Wayne, I never thought it would be you."

The Scarecrow stood in front of Bruce Wayne. Until now, even if he looked at Bruce Wayne's familiar Gotham face, even though he had confirmed it countless times, he still couldn't believe it was true.

After all, this is Batman, and this is Bruce Wayne.

It's really hard to put the two of them together.

"Let me see, what is the fear deep in your heart... Well!"

A punch hit the door, and the Scarecrow's head was thrown back, and his body swayed.

Bruce kept Lynn's instructions in mind and did not knock out the scarecrow's teeth.

"Why...it's impossible! My poisonous gas has already...well!"

It was another punch, which made the scarecrow lie on the ground again, and passed out.

Bang.

Lynn jumped down, walked to Bruce with a camera in his hand, smiled, looked at Bruce who was putting a mask on his face, held up a branch picked up from the ground as a microphone, and began to interview Bruce in a serious manner.

"Mr. Baiteman, how did you feel about your phantom journey?"

Click.With an imperceptible sound, Bruce fastened his mask, turned his head, and turned back into that Batman again.

Serious, calm, and even indifferent.

"It's nothing."

He seemed reluctant to talk about these things, and took the initiative to analyze his heart to Lynn.Immediately, he changed the subject and stared at the sleeping Scarecrow on the ground. Batman asked, "This guy should be the one who escaped from Arkham. I should send him back..."

"Oh! That won't work. At least not for the time being."

Lynn didn't pursue what Batman saw. Everyone has their own secrets.

After stopping Batman, Lynn walked forward with a smile, and lifted the unconscious scarecrow onto the back seat of his bicycle, looking like he was transporting pork.

"Don't you think that the existence of this guy is very suitable for examining your heart from time to time, and talking to yourself in the depths of your heart?"

"Lynn, what the hell are you..."

Batman's frowning eyebrows can be seen through the mask.

"Don't worry, you will know in the future. Anyway, if you arrest him and go to Arkham, I will go to Arkham and release him again. If you catch me again, I will release him again. If you catch him again, I will..."

"Okay, okay. Okay, listen to you."

Batman felt that it would be too cruel for the Scarecrow to let Lynn be "released" again and again.

"Lynn, don't play too much...you know. Don't play it off."

Rarely asked Lynn, Batman shook his head helplessly at Lynn, and left here.

Today, he did gain something.I need to go back, well, and slowly summarize it.

As for Lynn, he smiled, dragged the scarecrow, rode a bicycle, and came to...

The outskirts of Gotham.

The entrance to the underground labyrinth.

"How can one favor the other when giving gifts~ Hehehe..."

…………

Waking up again.

The scarecrow felt dizzy, but unfortunately, there was no wound on his body.

But he clearly remembers...

So it's really the coffee that's the problem?
still is……

Standing up, the Scarecrow realized that he had changed places.

So everything just now was actually an illusion? !
still is……

"Is it an illusion now?"

Worse, it is no longer possible to distinguish between reality and fantasy.

Groping forward, the scarecrow braced himself up, guarding against everything that might happen.

At the same time, his mind was full of twists and turns, all kinds of distracting thoughts and unreasonable outrageous speculations came one after another, forming a mess in his mind, one more outrageous, one more absurd.

"Is this place the legendary bat cave?"

Passing through a broken secret door, the Scarecrow saw a mural.

On the mural, there's Lynn, there's Batman, and... a guy with green hair.

What does it mean?
Why is there such a mural in such a place?
Why did you draw it like this?
and also……

"Who is this weird guy with green hair..."

"you……"

A voice came from the darkness behind.

"...Are you talking about me?"

In the darkness of this unfamiliar environment where he was concentrated and in a trance, and his attention was highly concentrated, this sudden response made the Scarecrow throw his poison gas bottle behind him on a conditioned reflex.

For some reason, he had a vague feeling that he shouldn't have done this.

　The Scarecrow is one of my favorite Gotham villains.He is really interesting, capable, and really unlucky.

　　In the original work, he sneaked up on the old bat, but the old bat was fine, and he almost died himself.

　　Then he was selected by the yellow light once, but the old bat played the yellow light ring more fiercely than him.Was beaten by the old bat again.

　　He attacked the clown and threw the poisonous gas, but he didn't respond at all.The clown beat him up so badly that he doubted his life.It was really fun.
