Pixel Maniac in the Comic World

Chapter 182 Medusa Mask

The man in the red and white mask watched Terry stand up and urged him.

"Hurry! If you don't take good care of what I need, I will make your death painful!"

Bai twitched the corner of his mouth, took out the moon-watching sword and stabbed it.

Three seconds later, Bai held the masked man's head and gently supported him as he slowly lay on the ground.

Standing up, using his shoulders, elbows and wrists to shake off the blood stained on the sword, Bai directly raised his foot and stepped on the masked man's chest.

"Actually, before yesterday, I wasn't as disgusted with mind controllers as I am now. Are you brainless? Why don't you briefly think about how I got the kidneys and hearts in my hands?"

The masked man's cruelty gradually turned into fear as his life passed, and he quickly begged for mercy in a muffled voice.

"I am blind, please let me live, I can work for you, I can sacrifice my life for you!"

"Just a few words over and over again."

Bai raised his sword indifferently and aimed at the masked man's head.

Just when he was about to stab him, Black suddenly stopped Bai's action.

"Wait a moment."

Bai frowned a little. Hei couldn't possibly have any compassion, so he always had his reasons for stopping him.

The masked man watched in horror as the sword-wielder who was stepping on him had two different expressions on his face, one distinct from the left to the right.

"No killing is allowed in the Deli neighborhood?"

"No, he is really useful to me. I originally planned to use Ziren's kidneys and heart to recruit him. Besides, his mask is very valuable."

Bai Yi raised his eyebrows, moved the tip of the sword downward, and aimed it at the masked man's throat.

“He was able to mass-produce his masks.”

After a brief silence, Bai put away his sword, took a deep breath, showed a smile that was terrifying to the masked man, and stretched out his hand to pull the other person up.

"Violators must be taught a lesson, right? I'm still very merciful. I didn't strike at your heart with the first sword just now."

As he spoke, Bai pretended to pat the dust on the hem of his robe, and glanced at the blood flowing out of the masked man's chest.

"Do I need to send you to a clinic or something?"

"No... no, thank you for your magnanimity."

The masked man said in a harsh voice, and then actually took out a pair of red and white masks of the same style, but with a smaller circle, and pointed it at his face.

"I'm healthy and recovering from my injury quickly."

The wound stopped bleeding at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Shiro blinked.

Then the masked man said something again.

"I am strong and my wounds no longer hurt."

Then the masked man stood up straight. If his chest hadn't been soaked with blood, it would have been almost impossible to tell that this guy had been stabbed through by Shiro's moon-watching sword just now.

"What's wrong?!!!"

Bai felt that his world view had been impacted, and he subconsciously asked: "How did you do it? Is this beyond the scope of mental ability?"

"It's hypnotism."

The situation is stronger than the person, the masked man answered honestly.

Hei showed his hands to Bai in the spiritual world: "Do you think I would recruit an ordinary person?"

"It's outrageous that this is hypnotism! Isn't hypnotism a level worse than superpowers?"

Bai pointed at the silent masked man.

"This guy can only be regarded as an unpopular figure in Gotham City? So what kind of demons and monsters is Batman fighting with?" The masked man looked at this terrifying swordsman who could easily pierce him with a sword, as if he was schizophrenic. He also yelled at his abilities and quickly bowed his head with a rather helpless tone.

"I'm shocked that your Excellency can be immune to my hypnosis without saying a word. It's not that I don't understand the rules of Deli Street, but it's because I have absolute confidence in my hypnosis that I want to rob him. Your thoughts."

Bai stopped his discussion with Black, came back to his senses and stared at the masked man with interest.

"What's your name? I mean, what's your nickname? I'm not impressed by you as a person."

The masked man still kept his bow. After suffering a loss, his attitude was very humble and sincere.

"My name is Roger, Roger Hayden. Since I have never had a direct confrontation with Batman, I don't dare to call myself a nickname. But if I insist, the mentor who taught me hypnosis once had a nickname called the Mind Pirate. I am his successor."

Bai was distracted and entered the spiritual world, looking at Hei with a blank expression, because he had never heard of the Mind Pirate at all.

"Don't look at me like that. I only know his nickname. The only thing I know more about than you is that he has profound research on psychology and hypnotism, and can even induce the emotional energy of the universe through technical means."

Hei shrugged: "He is much less popular than your Purple Man. Purple Man can still appear in TV series and animation works."

Black then took over the body and extended a hand towards the masked man, Roger.

Roger was stunned for a moment, then immediately remembered the rules of the Deli neighborhood, sighed, took out a mask from his arms and handed it over.

Black took the mask but did not take his hand back, but pointed at his head as expected.

"Sorry, we are two people."

Roger seems to be a little nervous, but for those who thrive in Gotham with technical skills, being able to bend and stretch is an essential element.

So Roger could only grit his teeth and took out the second mask and handed it over.

Hei turned his hand and put away the two masks, then took out a low-temperature storage box with his other hand and stuffed it into Roger's arms.

Roger held the cryogenic storage box blankly, seemingly not expecting that the other party was actually willing to complete the transaction with him.

"You don't deserve this, Roger."

Hei raised his eyelids and looked at the masked man indifferently.

"Originally, you were supposed to be killed directly by the other me, but I saved your life. Just as you promised before, from now on, you have to work for me."

Roger looked at the other person's eyes that were even colder than the killer just now, couldn't help but shiver, and quickly lowered his head, and then, as if he didn't feel enough, he simply knelt down on one knee.

"It is an honor for Roger to serve you."

"Don't worry, I won't restrict your lifelong freedom. This is only temporary. Of course, you must always remember that I have already seen you. No matter where you are in the world, I will find a way to find you - —So before you want to do anything big in the future, use your brain more."

Roger quickly lowered his head lower: "I already know."

"Very good, now I'll give you a task. Aren't you eager to go out and prove yourself?"

Roger raised his head in confusion.

"I happen to have a mission here to give you the name of the Mind Pirate."

Hei paused for two seconds, and then said something shocking.

"Go to Arkham and free Killer Croc."

Roger was stunned and subconsciously pointed at himself: "Ah? Me?"

Hei took out a pair of masks he had just obtained and put it on his face: "Of course not, I will go too."

In the spiritual world, Bai watched the mask in his hand slowly turn into pixels, and then it really appeared in the accessories column.

"Medusa mask, accessories, can be equipped."

"+20 magic power, and a small increase in magic power recovery speed."

“When equipped with this accessory, it will further increase the favorability of friendly plot characters, gain weak favorability of neutral plot characters, and make them even more disliked by hostile plot characters.”

"A dual technology product that combines magic hypnosis and brainwave hypnosis. When you are mentally disturbed by any source, depending on the intensity of the mental interference, you can choose to deduct a certain amount of coins to offset the effect. You can directly choose to deduct the amount of platinum coins/equivalent to platinum coins. Can cancel out all effects.”
