Volume 7: Da Mu Da Mu Chapter 2 What? Did the locals in Gotham steal your rice?
The Kite Man's son has been kidnapped.
But that's not the only bad news.
Because Elizabeth Swan's son and Captain Barbossa's daughter were also kidnapped, this was obviously an intentional event. The kidnappers carefully planned to get in and out quickly. The fact that there were no additional casualties in an explosion in Gotham speaks volumes in itself.
However, the people in the Next Life Bar were not panicked.
On the one hand, the children were equipped with locators and life monitoring devices, so they were all safe. On the other hand, one of the robbers contacted them immediately after the kidnapping.
"I have arrived at Naihe Island and will soon meet the robbers."
The kite man, flying quickly in the air, adjusted his mechanical wings to silent mode. While patrolling above the target building to identify suspicious persons, he said to Judy, who was organizing a commando team at the Laisheng Bar:
"Don't act rashly. These guys are weird, especially the one who asked me to meet him. He mentioned the boss's name and said he had an agreement with us.
Keep monitoring, Judy, and contact Nightwing.
He patrols Gotham City on behalf of the master, so he should have some other information."
"Okay, Charles, be safe."
Judy responded:
"Elizabeth and Jack are on their way here, and Commissioner Gordon has also been dispatched. Also, Butler Oswald asked me to inform you that he has two teams of gunmen on Naihe Island.
If you need any follow-up care, he's happy to do it.
But don’t make the scene too disgusting, the mental health of the guys is also very important.”
"Girl, you really need to curb your bad taste sometimes."
The kite flyer said helplessly:
"My son has been kidnapped, can you please have some sympathy?"
After finishing his complaints, the kite man began to descend.
At the same time, six flying wing drones popped out from behind his "kite armor" and entered optical stealth mode, and began to cruise and aim around the abandoned building.
Although he is no longer a main player, Charles' equipment upgrades have always followed the technology tree of Team K, and any new gadgets invented by the boss Mason will be shared with him.
In addition to the portable armor he is wearing, Kite Man also has a set of heavy-armored flying wings specifically for combat, which are modified after several upgrades of the vulture's mechanical flying wings.
Its firepower is no less powerful than the ordinary version of Fenrir Armor.
Therefore, it can be said with certainty that this low-key bar logistics manager is actually a "hidden boss" in Gotham City. He is just low-key enough and therefore not well-known.
"Shua"
The Kite Man's armor folded its wings and allowed him to land lightly on the top floor of the abandoned building. With a wave of his hands, two black assault smart guns jumped into his hands.
He pointed forward, and the structure of the entire building was immediately reflected on his black combat glasses. The best detonation point was calculated, and the armed module of the flying wing drone was also turned on and ready to assist in combat at any time.
However, the robber did not play hide-and-seek with the Kite Man. He stood openly in the middle of the top-floor hall, holding a freezing pistol in his hand. The Kite Man's son, Little Brown, was tied to a lame chair with his mouth sealed with tape. After seeing his father appear like a god descending from the sky, the fear in Little Brown's eyes immediately lessened a lot.
"Dr. Victor."
Kite Man looked at Mr. Freeze, who had no expression on his face, and said coldly:
"What do you mean?"
"Someone released the prisoners in Arkham and provided us with information about three children, asking us to capture them in order to qualify to join the Legion of Doom."
Mr. Freeze always speaks in a cold and ruthless tone due to personal reasons, and his gray pupils show that he really doesn't care about any life at all.
He told him his experiences of the past few hours with an expressionless face, and then pressed the glowing freezing gun in his hand against Little Brown's forehead. The mere contact caused the broken ice to spread on the child's forehead.
This move made the Kite Flyer step forward, raise his hands, and say:
"Talk nicely, don't do it, Doctor. You said on the phone that you have something to ask me, and you also said that you have an agreement with us. This means that everything can be discussed, right?"
"What is the Justice League doing?"
Mr. Freeze asked. He stared at the gray-black armor on Kite Man and said:
“Mason has given you a lot of technological support. It seems that you are no longer the same as before. Maybe your drone has already aimed at my head, but Charles, I advise you not to be impulsive.
There is a bomb in this building. If I die, your son will be in danger.
So, answer my question.”
"The Justice League has done a lot of things. You have to ask more specific questions."
The Kite Man pushed up his sunglasses and said to buy time:
"I guess the member of the Legion of Doom who freed you told you something, rumors about the end of the world or something like that."
"Buzz buzz buzz"
The freezing gun in Mr. Freeze's hand entered the charging mode. It was obvious that he had seen through the Kite Man's trick of delaying time. The cold air made Little Brown tremble.
Charles waved his hand and quickly described the impact in concise language, which made Mr. Freeze's eyes shrink. This truth was indeed beyond his expectations.
No wonder the mysterious man called the establishment of the "Legion of Doom" the villains' "great cause of self-salvation."
He is a highly intelligent criminal.
Therefore, the Kite Man did not need to tell all the facts in order for him to guess part of the hidden truth, which was nothing more than the struggle between forces, but he himself did not care about these.
After figuring out the situation, Dr. Victor retracted his freezing gun slightly and said to Charles:
"I need to talk to Mason Cooper! Contact him, and you can take your son away while he talks to me. There is nothing wrong with you, Charles, and I have no interest in joining the Legion of Doom.
I just wanted to have a chat with Mason about the agreement between him and me."
"Boss, can you see him whenever you want?"
Kite Man snorted in dissatisfaction, but considering Mr. Freeze's firm "promise", he hesitated, made a gesture, turned around and activated the cross-world communication module fixed in his ear bone.
After a moment, the communication was connected.
"Charles? Little Brown was rescued?"
Mason asked:
"Still need support? Xiao Shan is ready to go. Give me the specific coordinates."
"No, sir, it's settled."
Charles saw through the flying wing drone that Mr. Freeze was untying the ropes for his son behind him. He breathed a sigh of relief and told Mason about Mr. Freeze.
Finally, he whispered:
"I've already targeted him, Boss. Your time is so precious. There's no point in getting entangled with these guys. Just say the word and I can make him disappear forever."
"No, let me talk to him."
Mason stopped:
"I did have an agreement with him, it was quite a while ago."
"All right."
The kite flyer turned around and waved to his son. Little Brown, with the demeanor of a great general, did not panic but walked step by step to his father's side.
He removed the tape from his mouth and said to Charles:
"Henry and Serena were taken away. It was Two-Face and Scarecrow who did it! I recognized them. They said they were taking my friends to the beach, where someone would pick them up."
"Okay, I get it. Don't worry, your friends will be safe. Now put this on and leave immediately."
Charles tapped his chest, disarmed his kite armor and turned it back into a suitcase, then let his son put it on, reset the flight target and watched him being taken away from the dangerous area by the armor.
At the same time, a black shadow flew in the air and hit the floor next to Charles with a bang.
It was a black armor storage tank, which contained the vulture wings he used for combat.
Charles stepped forward and tapped the can to turn on the wearable mode. He stepped on two pedals to arm the internal armor, and at the same time threw a wrist communicator to Mr. Freeze in front of him and warned him:
"The boss wants to talk to you, Dr. Victor, and everyone knows that you are not a very vicious guy, so you'd better seize this opportunity.
Since you have "protected" my son, I remind you that if the Legion of Doom stirs up trouble at this time, the consequences will not be good. Even the kindest Superman will not show mercy to them. "
"I guessed it."
Dr. Victor nodded.
He watched as the black machine in front of him armed the limbs of the kite man with outstretched arms with great precision and speed, and then after the black armor containment tank was fully unfolded, it covered Charles with two giant metal wings with a wingspan of fifteen meters.
The weapons on its limbs were angular, with mysterious geometric patterns on them to absorb energy attacks. Finally, a V-shaped full-covering helmet was buckled onto the kite man's head with a click.
As the six turbo thrusters of different sizes of the mechanical flying wing were turned on, the red-lined goggles on the visor were also turned on, making him look dangerous and ferocious.
As a top thermal engineer, Dr. Victor has enough scientific knowledge to understand the technical content, deterrence and destructive power of this set of armor. Is this the equipment a third-tier villain should have?
He would believe you if you told him that this was a heavy weapon specially designed for Batman to fight Superman at high altitudes.
Kite Man waved "goodbye" to him, then soared into the sky with a piercing sonic boom.
He also has to look for the kidnapped Henry and Serena. The boss once said that the children are the weak point of Team K. Now it seems that those hidden villains have finally targeted Mason's weak point.
Fortunately, everyone was prepared for this.
In the abandoned high-rise where he was the only one left, Mr. Freeze put the wrist communicator that Kite Man threw to him on his left hand. After activating it, a blue beam of light scanned forward and outlined a holographic image of Mason.
He was sitting on a strange mechanical flying chair, and the background behind him was an automatically operating ultra-precision laboratory machine.
The young man's appearance had not changed at all since the last time he met him. He still looked young and handsome, but his aura was completely different.
Although he was still smiling, the pressure could still be transmitted to Dr. Victor even across a world, as if he was not talking to Mason Cooper, but a guy of the same level as Brainiac or Darkseid.
But the more this happened, the more excited Dr. Victor became.
This means that Mason may now have enough technological power to help him achieve his wish.
He did not hide anything, nor did he exchange pleasantries. He spoke directly:
"Mason! You said last time that you would help me rescue Nora when we meet for the second time! I just want to know, does this agreement still count?"
"certainly."
Mason, sitting on the Mobius chair, said with a smile:
"My attainments in alchemy have reached the level that I can help Nora recover from her terminal illness, but in order to prevent our agreement from being discovered, I did not go to your secret base during the time you returned to Arkham Asylum.
Nora was still there.
I will send someone to bring her to my world right now, and I promise you that you will see a healthy wife soon.
Even your own hypothermia can be cured.
We lack excellent researchers like you, and the knowledge you possess is also very valuable in this era. Now I will give you a coordinate, go there and wait for my messenger. "
"Um?"
Mason's straightforward answer and generosity made Mr. Freeze a little suspicious. Although he was not a hopelessly bad scum, he was a villain after all, and under the "tempering" of his master, he had already developed the qualified villain thinking.
He asked:
"That's it? Just that simple? Don't you need me to do something for you? Like sneaking into the Legion of Doom as your spy to help you collect intelligence or something like that.
I am ready for this.”
"unnecessary!"
Mason leaned back in the Mobius chair and waved his hands.
"Just by hearing the name of the organization, I knew it was founded by Lex Luthor. I also knew the purpose of its creation, and it was clear what they wanted to do.
The only thing I am not sure about is the means they intend to use, but they have already started to act and their means will soon be revealed.
Trust us, we're prepared for this.
You and your wife don't need to get involved in this mess. Even for the sake of your love, you deserve a happy ending..."
"No! I'm worried!"
Mr. Freeze flatly refused:
“You are so generous, but it makes me feel uneasy. I have to do something for you before I can hand Nora over to you. Otherwise, I can’t convince myself that you are a generous and kind person.
You’re from Gotham!”
He said so.
Mason raised his eyebrows in surprise and said:
"I'm from Gotham, so what?"
"Everyone in Gotham is a born villain!"
Mr. Freeze waved his hands and shouted:
"This city, this cesspool, can't possibly produce any truly good people. This is just the beginning of another conspiracy of yours, so let's just use the classic method of cooperation.
You help me, I help you, and we demonstrate our value to each other to move the cooperation to the next stage.
Tell me, what do you need me to do?"
“But I really don’t need it…”
Mason was speechless as he looked at the possessed Mr. Freeze in front of him.
After realizing that he could not convince the other party to change his bad stereotype of Gotham people, he rubbed his forehead helplessly, thought for a while, and said:
"Well, if you really believe that exchanging benefits can lead to true cooperation, then I do have a job for you."
"That's right."
Mr. Freeze immediately nodded in satisfaction.
This statement is just right!
This is what people in Gotham should say. Words like free help and priceless love are really fucking terrifying when they come from the mouth of a Gotham native with a clean pedigree.
Mason gave Mr. Freeze a coordinate and hung up the communication.
Mr. Freeze took a deep breath, and as he left the abandoned building, a message on his Freeze armor lit up.
That meant that the cryopod of his wife Nora, who was hidden in a secret hideout, was moved, but then he lost track of his wife's signal.
Thinking of the "other world" that Mason had just mentioned, Dr. Victor realized that his wife had been transferred to the realm where Mason was.
He felt more at ease, so he drove the stolen car all the way out of Naihe Island to the vicinity of Crime Alley, and then followed the coordinates to a small warehouse.
Pushing open the door of the warehouse, he was shocked to see a green-skinned, pointy-eared alien standing inside. He was wearing a high school uniform, carrying a school bag, and eating a bowl of takeaway fried noodles for lunch.
The latter saw Mr. Freeze staring at it, raised his hand and waved at him in a friendly manner, then stuffed the last bite of fried noodles into its mouth and chewed it, then changed its appearance and twisted into the appearance of Charles' son, Little Brown.
It put its hands on its hips and said to Mr. Freeze, whose eyes were wide open:
“Hurry up, send me to the headquarters of the Legion of Doom to claim the reward. I must complete this infiltration disguise as soon as possible to win the possibility of freedom for my hometown.
Oh, by the way, before I leave, I have to delete this memory of yours to prevent you from being exposed.
come over.
This will hurt a little, bear with it."
