Pixel Maniac in the Comic World

Chapter 149 Cooperation

After Terry finished speaking, Black Mask fell into silence for a long time.

After a long moment of silence, Black Mask's shoulders shook slightly.

The low and suppressed laughter seemed a bit muffled after being blocked by the mask. The sound gradually grew louder until the whole person was shaking with laughter.

He tapped his forehead with the back of his hand, and the knuckles collided with the ebony mask, making a banging sound.

"I see, but how on earth did you get the transaction code we agreed on?"

"I'm afraid I can't reveal it. The people at the bottom have social channels for the people at the bottom. The bosses above are working hard, but sometimes it doesn't affect us gangsters at the bottom from sitting together and bragging and drinking."

After Terry finished speaking, he reached out and tapped the box on the table.

"Now, it's time to get down to business. The two of you have been staying in the office but no movement has been captured by the monitor. The spies hiding around you will soon notice that something is wrong."

Black Mask nodded noncommittally and put his hands together between his legs. This was a listening attitude, indicating that he was willing to listen to Terry's true thoughts.

"I heard that when you first made your fortune, you broke into Black Gate Prison alone, released all the criminals at that time, and led those guys to form a gang?"

"I guess there are a lot of capable people inside, right?"

"But most of the guys who came out of Blackgate Prison have ambitions and means that are higher than ordinary people. They were willing to follow me for a period of time just because I released them. My gang fell apart in just a few months. .”

Black Mask frowned and didn't understand why Terry cared about such a thing, but he still nodded and agreed with this statement.

Black Mask snorted softly in his nose.

Terry asked.

"Forehead……"

Blackgate Prison was the predecessor of Arkham Asylum. Although there was no Batman at that time, the level of security there was equally tight.

"If you want to start with them and recruit a group of initial people, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get what you want."

Black Mask gave advice as if giving advice to a newcomer.

"I need their list. Of course, if you can provide more information about them, it will save me a lot of time."

In darker and more chaotic times, as long as you dare to do such great things, you will have a group of devout fans.

Yes, although he seems to be just an ordinary gang boss now, the reason why he was able to establish a firm foothold in Gotham City and eventually build such a huge force is because Black Mask has such a Curriculum Vitae' exists.

"After that period of time, Batman and the Joker were born one after another. Those stupid guys relied on their special abilities to go head-to-head with these two guys that I didn't want to mess with. Many people were killed and injured. The rest are now Locked in the rebuilt lunatic asylum, unless you plan to try again."

Having made a big splash in Blackgate/Arkham Asylum, this is a stepping stone for a humble guy to claim his own place in Gotham City.

Those scum at the lowest level are extremely eager to be appreciated by such a big boss and work hard under such people.

"This is indeed how my first power was established."

Black Mask's glorious deeds were widely circulated back then, and it didn't surprise Terry to find out about it.

Although Terry Pickles seems to be alone, his name is now also spread in the dark corners of Gotham. As long as he wants to, he can find a bar to cheer up that night, and he can gather a group of people the next day. Ticket man goes to rob a bank.

Black Mask's answer surprised Terry.

Terry showed a true expression.

Seeing Terry lost in thought, Black Mask's eyes flashed.

"But those people are not all idiots. As far as I know, there should be three guys who meet your requirements hiding in a dark corner of Gotham City.

It's just that they were well hidden. Although I wanted to keep an eye on them, I still lost any specific clues about their whereabouts over a long period of time. ” Terry’s head moved slightly.

Seeing that Terry finally had a different reaction, Black Mask showed a confident smile.

Everything was as he expected. The other party had a way of thinking beyond his years, but it was slightly inferior to an old Gotham fox like him.

"I want to know why you need a list of strange people?"

Black Mask has grasped the best opportunity to ask questions. At this time, regardless of whether Terry tells the truth or lies, as long as he uses this list to lure him, he can get the information he wants.

"Do you want to use them to fight against the clown?"

Seeing that Terry didn't move, Black Mask directly asked the answer he had guessed and was sure of.

After all, if it wasn't to fight against the Joker, why would Terry come to remind him that his men had been infiltrated by the Joker?

"What? Against the Joker?"

Terry's reaction was completely beyond Black Mask's expectations.

Because this young man's eyes and tone were full of doubts and contempt for Black Mask's speculation.

"Of course not. I'm not afraid of clowns. He can only hurt people who care about someone or something in their hearts, but I don't care about anyone or anything in this world."

Terry's expression seemed to be suppressing a smile, as if he had heard some ridiculous joke.

"It seems that Mr. Black Mask has some misunderstandings about me."

Terry wiped the corners of his eyes and shook his head.

"Status, money, power, fame, these are just the things you are chasing. I only care about the city itself."

"Then what do you mean?"

Black Mask's voice was a little low. Every word Terry just said was something he cared about, but it was devalued by the young man's contemptuous tone and was worthless.

He wasn't angry that his guess was wrong, but he couldn't accept the feeling that his dignity had been trampled on.

"A monster beyond your comprehension."

"where?"

"Don't know, in fact I'm not even sure it's real."

Black Mask stood up quietly, a dangerous aura filling his body.

"Are you here to entertain me?"

"Just take it as such."

As if he didn't feel the murderous intent of Black Mask, Terry moved his feet hard and left the desk he had been leaning on.

"Pay more attention to your steps. While you are keen on playing those boring games with the Caped Crusader, the underground of Gotham City has probably become a pure land where the monster thrives.

If you weren't the only one powerful in Gotham now, I wouldn't even bother to tell you this news. Believe it or not, it's up to you. It's not difficult to investigate. "

Terry turned around and picked up the box on the table, opened it slowly, and installed the bugs back to their original positions one by one.

"Now, we can talk about working together on 'Fight the Joker'."
