"What are you doing?"
Killer Croc touched his chin, not sure whether as Robin he should go to help at this time or what.
Batman did not enter Midtown Hospital, but instead took him to the roof of the hospital.
Going down from the rooftop, Chen Tao's lower body turned into a floating nano-robot, which held him suspended along the outer wall and jumped directly into a room on the second floor.
A question mark floated over Killer Croc's head: "Hey, Batman! I haven't gotten in the car yet!"
"Wait here." Chen Tao told him: "It is tradition for Batman to leave Robin and act on his own. You should learn..."
Then he turned his head and saw Killer Croc climbing on the wall with his claws and following him. Although he was huge in stature, he was still as nimble as a mouse. In order to enter that room, he even grunted, and then his figure suddenly shrank a little.
He said:
"Ignoring Batman's orders is also Robin's traditional skill."
Chen Tao was speechless.
He no longer cared about Killer Croc, but concentrated on manipulating the equipment in front of him.
This room was the power distribution room of Zhongcheng Hospital. He checked it carefully before entering. There were no mirrors or anything with a smooth surface that could reflect reflections.
Excellent.
"What are you going to do..."
"I want to leave myself some backup." Chen Tao told Killer Croc: "Now I can cut off the power supply to any room in this building at any time."
He stood up, with a captivating glint in his eyes: "Let's go. Let's go meet the famous gangsters in Central City...or rather the incomplete version."
Immediately afterwards, he pushed open the door of the power distribution room and walked out openly.
Killer Croc followed him: "Huh? I thought we didn't have to fight this time."
"We need to talk, but we are not the Flash."
Chen Tao said:
“We don’t have the buff that needs talk to be 100% successful.”
A nurse was holding a medical record in her hand, breathing heavily as she passed by the corridor around the corner, and suddenly bumped into Chen Tao and Killer Crocodile.
Killer Croc, wearing Robin's uniform, smiled at her.
"Eaaah-" The nurse screamed, threw the medical record card to the ground, turned around and ran away.
Killer Crocodile suddenly froze. He turned his head resentfully and looked at Batman aggrievedly: "I thought you would knock him out or let us sneak in or something."
Chen Tao ignored him. He turned his head and saw an orange and green figure fading quickly among the smooth tiles at the edge of the corridor.
He knows who the other person is.
Mirror Master, Sam Scudder, another important member of the Rogue Gang and the lover of Captain Cold's sister Lisa Snart.
"Continue to go."
Chen Tao said: "Use your majestic appearance to scare away irrelevant people in the hospital as much as possible."
He said: "I'm afraid we're going to have a fight. The Rogues are going through a very, very difficult time right now, and the Mirror Master will do anything to protect his loved ones."
…
…
…
I'm the Mirror Master, Sam Scudder.
I used to work in a mirror factory and one time I accidentally mixed the wrong chemicals in a mirror.
Like all legendary stories, the mirror should have been scrapped, but he didn't. Instead, he had the ability to connect to dimensional spaces.
Through the study of this mirror, I learned the ability to create mirror images with various effects and space teleportation, and made my own mirror gun, happily starting my own criminal career.
later?
Later I joined a gang of scoundrels.
And the reason we got together is simple: The Flash is so damn powerful.
To deal with someone as fast as The Flash, sheer numbers can tip the scales. And some of us can melt vehicles, create frost, and summon blizzards with the wave of a wand.
No matter how fast this speedster is, if he wants to take down a group of us, he still has to put in some effort.
We had money, power, a plan, and even a little respect from the other criminals, and a lot of admirers, like the Rainbow Bandit, and that rookie kid magician who came to Midtown just to get his share of the gang. a place.
To be fair, I know we are outlaws and what we are doing is technically illegal...
But here’s the thing, we live in the greatest country in the world and it’s filled with opportunity, right? Everyone has the right to earn a living by doing the job he or she is most skilled at.
Our best job is robbery and theft, so is this our fault?
You can blame our parents, or society, or whoever you think is appropriate, it doesn't matter.
Our nature is hard to change, we are just a bunch of ordinary people who work hard all day long and do not fit in with the society, trying their best to survive in the world.
Believe it or not. We abide by certain rules and three major principles:
First, never kill unless you have to. The police are just doing their jobs.
Second, if we don’t use drugs, it doesn’t mean that we are abstaining from doing evil. It’s just that drugs will always lead to the violation of the first principle.
And thirdly, just win.
We always strictly adhere to these three principles, and we are honored for this.
It is often said that a hero is as strong as his enemy.
According to this, the Flash is more powerful than the entire U.S. Army combined, so just give it a try.
The Flash may think we are slow, but who can be faster than him?
People don't always understand that there's a reason why the Rogue Gang can always force The Flash to go all out.
The Rogue Gang is never content with the status quo. As long as there are more benefits, the Rogue Gang will make a comeback. People don't understand that our relationship is much closer than many people think.
We steal, we rob, that's what we do.
The Rogue Gang also has an unwritten rule, a bond stronger than death itself. We watch each other's backs until we die——
Okay, but that’s all in the past.
I've always thanked Captain Cold every chance I got, not just for leading us, but more importantly for introducing me to his sister, Lisa Snart, the Golden Glider, the love of my life.
I would die for Lisa.
The Scoundrels are such a big family.
But Captain Cold destroyed it himself.
All in all, this is what happened:
For a long time, even with high-tech equipment, it has been difficult for us to compete with the speedsters, and Captain Cold...
He was the leader, and he thought he should be having a drink with us, celebrating the greatest crime in history, instead of wallowing in sadness, drinking whiskey, and doing unskilled smash-and-grab.
Under the weight of being unable to defeat the Flash, Captain Cold went crazy. And you know what’s the worst thing? He drove the whole gang of scoundrels crazy and sent us all to hell.
A year and a half ago, Captain Cold found a thing called a genetic recombinator. According to him, this thing can rewrite the DNA of everyone in the Rogue Gang, integrating our bodies with superpowers, and we will become Become a super human, like The Flash.
All of us believed his lies.
"How do you know this thing will work?"
"What do we have to lose?"
"Having your head hit the wall again and again, being easily disarmed by the Flash, and resisting with all your strength to no avail, haven't you had enough? This machine will completely change the situation!"
"Put the weapon into the machine and let's have a blast!"
"Are you kidding me, Leon?"
"No joke, Lisa."
That was all we had, and then like fools we tried a machine we had no idea of the effect.
Captain Cold said that he was not joking. He brainwashed me and everyone else. The Rogue Gang entrusted all their trust to Captain Cold...
What did you get in exchange?
Yes, the Gene Recombinator worked and gave the Rogue Gang superpowers, but at what cost?
I am forever trapped in a mirror world.
And the golden glider, my Lisa, was forced to leave her physical body and become a spirit, and could only last for a short time each time she touched anything.
Her spirit body is wandering around, but the real her is unable to move an inch, and life is worse than death.
Heat wave...poor guy, his whole body was burned to a disgraceful state. Do you know how painful a burn patient is? But Mick was burnt all over.
There are more glooms than sunshine in the weather wizard's life, and his mood fluctuates with the weather. Although he is freed from the shackles of the weather wand, he has completely lost the ability to control his mood.
He suffered from depression and various mental illnesses. All psychological treatments and drug interventions were of no use to him. His emotions only followed the damn weather!
The gang of scoundrels is finished. We are torn apart and fighting on our own. We want to kill Captain Cold, but this coward just runs away without saying a word, leaving only us...
now.
This is the second floor ward of Zhongcheng Hospital. Golden Glider Lisa Snart was lying on the bed, her body wrapped in bandages.
Mirror Master Sam's figure appears on a nearby mirror.
Due to a bug in his superpowers, he can no longer appear in the real world.
"Lisa...Lisa..."
He whispered to the beauty on the bed, but received no response.
Then the Mirror Master darkened his face.
"I won't let anyone hurt you, Lisa." He promised: "Batman, and Killer Croc, no matter what their purpose is, I will not let them near your room."
His eyes flashed with silver and he was determined.
And at the same time...
"Oh my God? What is this!"
Killer Croc screamed.
Now they were no longer walking in the corridors of Midtown Hospital, but instead appeared in a space full of broken lenses.
And their enemies... Mirror Masters, there are hundreds or even thousands.
"That's not fair!"
As soon as Killer Croc wanted to stand up, he was hugged by dozens of Mirror Masters and was crushed into a crocodile fuck.
He heard the other party's voice, layer upon layer, echoing among countless people.
"Welcome to the mirror world. This can be called my territory, but let's call him by his real name - prison!"
Killer Crocodile roared, and huge power burst out from his body, directly flying dozens of Mirror Master's clones, but this had no effect. Mirror Master just lightly snapped his fingers, followed by more identical clones. The clones continued to spurt out from other mirrors.
Killer Croc was caught off guard and was knocked on the head by one of them.
"Ouch!"
"The situation has changed, we have evolved and become many people...more and more!"
Killer Crocodile decisively gave up.
He turned to look at Batman who was standing next to him watching the show: "Wow! Save your Robin quickly. If you don't do anything, I will be crushed to death!"
As he spoke, he struggled to pull off the numerous mirror masters on his body, and then he was forcefully pulled out of a tooth by the other party, causing him to scream in pain.
Chen Tao, on the other hand, ignored Robin's plea for help.
He was looking at the Mirror Master.
The other party seemed to be aware of how dangerous Batman was, so he was a bit picky and did not control those clones to attack him.
I have to say that Sam did a good job of limiting the conflict within certain limits, which was undoubtedly a smart move. As the man who temporarily replaced Captain Cold in the original work when Captain Cold was away, even though he was imprisoned in the mirror world, he still had no shortage of strategic minds.
"Get out of here, Batman."
But love makes people blind.
Despite what he said, Chen Tao had already noticed that he was preparing to exile them into a deeper mirror world.
That is an area that even the Mirror Master cannot touch, full of strange creatures from various dimensions and all kinds of unknown dangers.
Chen Tao looked at the image of the mirror master in front of him.
I'm afraid this is not a real person. The other party has blended himself well into a large number of clones, or is not here at all.
"We need to talk."
Chen Tao told him.
You initiated "We need talk"!
Your talk failed, please put on the Flash's clothes and try again!
"I have nothing to talk about with you superheroes."
Mirror Master's eyes flashed with silver light.
Since gaining superpowers, this ability has also been very unstable for him, and he doesn't even know when something will go wrong.
Attempting to open a portal to a deeper mirror world would also be a very dangerous act for him, but he had no choice.
He knows very well what a formidable opponent Batman is, so he either doesn't take action or goes all out, otherwise he will lose.
Once he loses, then Lisa...
Mirror Master made up his mind.
Then he saw Batman snap his fingers.
Woo woo woo...
He heard a strange sound in the golden glider's room, as if the instruments that maintained the golden glider's life were groaning and stopping running.
Mirror Master's movements stopped abruptly.
Then all the mirror images in front of him were shattered at that moment. Killer Crocodile looked up from the pile of broken mirrors and saw the true body of the Mirror Master emerging from another distant mirror and rushing towards the two of them. .
"He's here, and you forced out his true form, Batman."
Killer Crocodile gears up: "It's finally our turn for a fair fight! One on one! Face to face!"
Close, getting closer.
Killer Croc raised his fist.
With a cool sound, the mirror master slid to his knees. The mirror formed a channel under his feet, allowing him to slide all the way and kneel directly in front of Chen Tao.
"Please, turn on the power quickly!"
The anxious mirror master grabbed Chen Tao's trouser leg.
"Without electricity, the medical equipment that keeps Lisa alive won't be able to operate, and Lisa will die!"
"Please, please!"
