Shocked, Black Bat Ben felt as if his heart had skipped a beat.
He didn't know how his thoughts were known to this terrible guy.
What he didn't know even more was what the other party wanted to do.
However, it is obviously not his character to sit still and wait for death.
His left arm swung sideways, his elbow was like a knife, and he hit the mysterious man behind him hard on the face.
The opponent fell down in response, but Black Bat Ben had no intention of fighting at all. He didn't even look at the opponent. He twisted his body in a slightly embarrassed manner. After standing firm, he didn't hesitate for a second and walked directly along the side of the road. He ran to the forest on the other side.
On the ground, Linn received an elbow and lay down on the ground to rest.
This is a serious winter warm sun, it is quite comfortable to bask in it.
"It's just a little cold here..."
"Lynn."
In the nearby convenience store not far away, someone opened the door and came over, standing next to Lin En, blocking the sunlight shining on him.
"Wow, you are really annoying sometimes."
After spending a long time acting with Lin En, he dealt with the gangsters in Gotham in the first half of the night and drove all the way in the second half of the night to catch up. Bruce was also a little sleepy now.
But...it's Lin En. He must have his reasons for asking me for help.
"What's your reason this time? It makes no sense for you to come to me for help. It's just for fun."
"Eh? That's not right~"
Lin sat up and gently shook his fingers: "First of all, I didn't ask you for help. It seems that your helmet was too tight and your head was crushed. It was you who asked me for help. Have you forgotten?
Secondly…
I really just wanted to have fun.
Haha, look at how fast that kid ran just now. "
Bruce was not touched by the fact that Lynn was "really having fun again". To be honest, he had already expected it.
What Bruce cared about was the first half of Lynn's sentence.
"Lynn, what do you mean..."
Pointing to the direction where the guy escaped just now, Bruce asked with a hint of confusion: "Is that person the one who can help us find Neptune?"
"yes."
"Then, why didn't you tell me directly? If you had told Green Arrow directly when you were in Star City, wouldn't he have already arrested someone by then? I believe Green Arrow would never refuse your request."
"Require."
Lin En was very serious: "It has to be a request. What can I ask him for?"
Besides, if I had just captured him at that time, how could I have gone back to Arkham for a vacation and how could I have had fun. You really have a lot of money, so you think that others don't have troubles, right? "
"Lynn."
Bruce shook his head helplessly: "You know, I'm not without my worries."
"Oh, I know, I know, it's Gotham, isn't it? If you ask me, I'd better do something serious and integrate Gotham, and then we'll line up in the middle and completely rebuild Gotham..."
"Okay, okay. Lynn, let's not talk about this."
Bruce knew that Linn had always had the idea of destroying the current Gotham and rebuilding it on the ruins. This topic should not be discussed in depth, otherwise Linn might get excited and take action directly.
Bruce always believed that if Lynn wanted to do something, he would be able to do it.
So, directly bringing the topic to the current incident, Bruce frowned and looked at the forest in the distance: "So, how can we use this guy to help us find Neptune?"
"This, this is simple."
Lin stood up and patted the dust: "He already knew where the Sea King was, knew where the Sea King often appeared, and also knew where the fishing village that guy protected was. To be honest, I think this kid might have come from that fishing village. people.
If you don't want to cause trouble, just grab his clothes and go into the water to find them yourself. "
"clothing?"
Bruce's frown deepened: "What clothes... is it, the one Green Arrow and I mentioned? That... diving suit?"
"yes."
Lin En nodded directly: "That thing is still high-tech. Wearing it, you can directly dive tens of meters or hundreds of meters. I don't know how he developed it. Maybe he has some special abilities. I have no idea.
However, you can study the clothes and prepare them~"
Of course Bruce would do this. He doesn't even have a suit of armor that can be used to deal with underwater enemies. It can only be said that this is a timely opportunity.
but……
"Lynn, you knew earlier, why did you...oh, why didn't you say anything."
"Hahahahaha, it's so fun."
"Forget it. Are you going to chase him? It's been five minutes now. He should have run far away, maybe he's hiding."
"It's okay, I'll let the dog chase."
Raising his hand, Bruce saw that a shallow chain appeared on Linn's wrist, extending in the direction of his fingers and gradually becoming transparent.
………………
In the forest, the black manta is still running.
His brain was still in a state of shutdown. He couldn't figure out what happened, and he couldn't figure out why the mysterious man planned so many things to deal with him.
At this point, based on intuition alone, Black Bat Ben concluded that the other party must have come towards him intentionally, otherwise, there would not have been so many dramatic events.
Just...why?
Obviously neither of them knows each other, and Black Bolt himself has never even been to Gotham!
"There is only one possibility!"
Black Bat Ben immediately thought that it was probably because of his ability. Because he has the ability to fight underwater.
But……
A considerable part of that ability is brought about by that specially made diving suit!
And he has obviously left that piece of clothing in Star City, so why is he still chasing me? !
I can’t figure it out.
Black Bat Ben ran faster.
He found that something seemed to be chasing him and hiding behind him.
However, once he stopped, whether it was because he was really tired or because he wanted to show weakness to the enemy and attempted to fight back, the thing following him had no sense of existence at all.
If it weren't for the hunter-like intuition brought to him by fishing since childhood, and the "ability" brought by constantly escaping from various places throughout his life, Black Manta would have thought that he had misunderstood something.
"It's definitely not an illusion!"
Something is definitely following me. There is definitely a ferocious beast hiding in the darkness, its fangs curled up and looking at it with eager eyes!
With his back against the big tree, and after taking a few breaths, Black Bat Ben took a sharp look at the leaves behind him that were blown up by the wind, and ran away again.
Not long after he left, a branch trembled violently.
…………
A house in the suburbs on the edge of the city.
With sweat all over his head, trembling hands and feet, and white lips, Black Bat Ben tried his best to steady his hand and took out a small black box from the flower bed.
Open the box and inside is the key to the door.
This was one of Black Manta's safe houses. It was also the place where he wanted to settle down and had long dreamed of settling here.
He spent a lot of effort to decorate this house. Not only were the walls sandwiched with reinforced panels, all the windows in the entire house were covered with bulletproof glass, and additional ventilation holes and various mechanisms for hiding things were also reserved. There is also a hidden basement in addition to the normal basement.
It's not that Black Bat Ben is timid and afraid of death, it's just that he has a lot of enemies, which is related to his acting style.
After decorating the room, Black Manta only got familiar with it briefly, and then left.
He knew very well that this was his dream place to live a normal life, but people like him were destined not to have such a life.
He also knew that when he came back here again, it would be the time when he was most in danger.
Now, that's the time.
Quickly looking around, Black Bat Ben opened the door, opened a very narrow gap, squeezed himself into the door sideways, and closed the door with a bang.
The first time he entered the house, Black Bat Ben unscrewed a lampshade at the entrance and pressed the switch button.
In an instant, the security system of the entire house was fully opened. Not only did a thin steel plate fall on the window equipped with bulletproof glass, but also a large number of weapons rose from the window.
However, this is not what Black Manta needs.
In the slightly dark room, Black Bat Ben had no idea of turning on the lights. He just walked quickly to the window, looked around through the reserved gaps and holes, and then walked to another place and looked around from the wall. He took off what looked like a decorative mask and put it on his face, opening another mechanism.
The entire room was quickly filled with a faint green poisonous gas. At this time, Black Bat Ben walked to the bedroom and opened the basement door.
…
After entering the basement, Black Bat Ben closed the door, quickly took off his mask and threw it aside. He strode to the refrigerator on the other side, took out a bottle of water that had been completely frozen into ice cubes, and banged it on the wall. Smash.
After the ice cubes had broken together with the bottle, Black Manta directly stuffed the ice cubes into his mouth and chewed them to replenish the water he had lost. At the same time, he kept walking to the other wall next to him and opened another mechanism.
The wall slowly rises, revealing the hidden objects hanging on the wall behind.
Among them, in the center, a complete set of combat uniforms is particularly conspicuous.
It was a suit of clothing that looked like a black rubber diving suit, with an integrated breathing, pressure-reducing and energy-maintaining device on the back.
The most conspicuous part is its head.
It was a helmet with huge red eyes that looked like an alien's head. This was the most exaggerated, sophisticated, unique, and valuable part of the entire battle suit.
It is Black Manta's source of confidence.
"call……"
After seeing this familiar battle suit for the first time, Black Manta could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
He quickly took off the combat uniform from the wall, and quickly but carefully checked whether there was anything wrong with the entire suit. After confirming that it was correct, he put on the suit with skillful single operation.
It wasn't until this moment that Black Bat Ben finally felt a little more at ease, able to breathe a little more relaxedly without having to maintain a tense state.
Since escaping from that mysterious man, he has been running for his life continuously for a day and a night.
In this seemingly short day and night, Black Manta tried to walk through the forest, hid in crowded places, covered himself with mud, dived into the water, moved upstream in the opposite direction, stole other people's cars, and took his own Change clothes with others...
However, it never worked.
That unknown thing was always behind him, lingering on him faintly, neither leaving too far nor doing anything.
All of Black Bat Ben's attempts to escape ultimately failed.
That thing is like a tarsal maggot, not only invisible, but also impossible to get rid of.
Even when he opened the door just now, Black Bat Ben clearly felt that the unknown thing was not far behind him, watching him quietly.
Could it be...
Is this the true identity of the mysterious man?
A... ghost? A demon or a ghost?
Black Bat Ben doesn't know.
But he knew that this world was not without these things.
Even people living underwater are real, and nothing else is possible.
…
Sitting quietly against the wall, even though he was on land, Black Manta was always wearing his combat uniform and always pointed his face towards the door of the basement.
He was waiting, he knew that thing would definitely come to him.
After sitting quietly like this for a whole day, Black Bat Ben was exhausted physically and mentally, but he didn't dare to sleep at all.
Finally, he heard something coming from "upstairs."
Although he didn't expect that the defense system outside could really stop that thing, his heart still sank when he actually heard the sound.
Is it finally here?
"Hmph! Then you can taste the poisonous gas!"
After about a minute or so, there was a messy sound of turning things upstairs, and then suddenly stopped, and then the sound became more urgent and chaotic, and then ended with a dull banging sound, and then fell into silence.
Black Bat Ben knew that it was the sound of the other party being poisoned and falling to the ground.
"I actually sucked it for a minute! Is that guy really a human?"
Black Bat Ben deliberately walked up to see the situation, but what happened in the past two days made him have doubts.
So, he suppressed the body that had just moved and was already halfway up, and sat back down again.
Another ten minutes passed, but there was no movement from above.
Black Bat Ben is still waiting.
Another half hour passed and there was still no sound.
"Probably, he's dead."
Black Bat Ben knew that he could not sit here forever, and he must find out what happened above.
So, after actually standing up, Black Bat Ben walked to the secret door, opened the door gently, and walked up to it.
In his living room, facing the entrance door, a man was lying on the floor with his head facing outside, maintaining the direction and movement of struggling forward to escape.
Of course Black Bat Ben could tell that this was the mysterious man.
However, he still didn't move, just stood there, maintaining a defensive posture, watching quietly.
So, another five minutes passed.
The other party was motionless.
Taking half a step forward, Black Bat Ben's raised foot fell back to its original position. He turned around and pulled out an inconspicuous wooden board from under the opened bed, revealing a Remington underneath.
Return to the door, load the gun, and bang!
Load it, bang!
Load it, bang!
…
After the spare bullets were fired, the man was still lying there, as tattered as the floor beneath him, soaked in blood.
Black Bat Ben breathed a sigh of relief, holding the gun, and wanted to step forward to check the situation.
Then he stopped again.
Standing on the spot, the battle energy of the battle suit was activated, and the huge and strangely shaped eyes gradually glowed red, glowing with scorching heat.
"Die! Bitch of hell..."
"Wait a minute……"
"!!"
The tattered man twitched his arm, propped up his face, and lay there, turned over half of his body, looked at him with bloody eyes, and grinned: "It's just a joke, why are you serious? .
If you do this again, I will slap your eyes! "
