Chapter 184 Chapter 184 Smaller has its advantages

Jason watched the local Batman maneuver and land under the gunfire of the local Gotham police. He didn't know where he ran to, but he calmly found a flower bed under the building near the V-Core Company and sat down. He took out the folding head-mounted binoculars from his coat pocket and switched to night vision mode to observe the situation upstairs.

This Batman also moves with a grappling gun and a cape glider.

In this situation, Jason knew that for a high-rise building like the V-Core Building that stood out from the crowd and had no sharp edges to grasp, the possibility that the local Batman was just passing by tonight was as low as the possibility that Benjamin went to a slush shop without ordering anything and just looked at the menu.

The appearance of a local Batman, the strange snow that started and then suddenly stopped, Mr. Freeze's equivalent...it's fun to watch.

Cell phones run out of battery quickly in cold weather, so Jason didn't play with the phone he bought for his "entrepreneurship". Instead, he sat on the edge of the flower bed, making snowballs and craning his neck to look at the sky.

From Jason's current angle, he can only see half of it. If the local Batman goes upstairs from the other side, he won't be able to see anything. Moreover, if the action is exposed, the real Batman may also cancel the operation tonight.

But it doesn't matter, Jason's goal was never to be a local Batman.

He just felt that based on the noise, there would be more than just local Batmans spawning here tonight.

According to the city's reports on Batman...if Benjamin and Li Hua had a TV nearby, they would probably rush here too.

But Jason waited for an hour and got nothing.

Jason didn't wait any longer, nor did he lose heart. For the next few days, he spent his days at the slushie shop, asking for news about Benjamin and Li Hua, leaving messages wherever he could. When it was almost dark, he'd go sit and play with a snowball beneath the V Core building.

Anyway, the funds he got from those silly "party animals" to start his own business were enough.

Based on the intelligence and behavior of the local Batman obtained, there is a high probability that he will create a big scene again this time.

As long as we create a big scene, it will be more likely for Benjamin and Li Hua to see it, and it will be easier to find the missing child.

...But it's a bit strange. It's okay if Li Hua can't find him, but how come even Benjamin in Kryptonian form can't find him?

Could it be that Azmis banned the Kryptonians in order to ensure the normal implementation of the exam?

On the third night, after the little snowmen Jason had made were lined up in a long row on the flower bed, he saw Batman, dressed like an engineer, wearing a hat, carrying a construction box, and holding a plaster in his left hand, walking into the main entrance of V-Core Company openly. He must have found an identity that could help him disguise himself and get in.

You have to ask how Jason saw through Batman's disguise... A person with two legs is not obvious, but isn't it difficult to find a strong man over two meters tall?

Both were over two meters tall, strong men, approaching V Core Company at night. How could such a coincidence happen? They were clearly the same person!

.......

Is that...a person?

With the mobile phone provided by Match Malone, Benjamin finally realized that Martians could also become invisible. Benjamin transformed into a Martian and sneaked into the underground of Aka M. Benjamin immediately became invisible and began to explore the surroundings.

Deep within Akka M, Benjamin discovered a "city" nestled within the abyss. It took him some effort to find a small, unobservant corner of the city, allowing him to escape the Omnitrix's buffer time.

During his investigation, he saw a glass wall.

Behind the glass wall was a massive object that resembled layers of flesh, with a few strands of hair scattered across it. It occasionally twitched and moaned softly.

There are several glass walls in this corridor, behind which are various flesh-colored monsters.

There was no light here, so Benjamin moved closer to the glass window to see more clearly. Then he saw a stretched and distorted human face on the flesh-colored "wall".

.......The worst-case scenario happened.

Benjamin spent several days gathering intelligence in this underground city, and he entered and exited by moving invisibly through rock formations where there was absolutely no chance of cameras.

Benjamin did not take any action until the day Matchstick Malone was released from prison. He sat in the safe house that Matchstick Malone told him about, waiting for someone he didn't know whether he would come back or not.

"Long time no see, kid." Match Malone pushed the door open and walked in. Compared to the last time Benjamin saw him, his eye sockets were deeper and his face was paler, but he was still smiling. "What's wrong with you? You look like you've seen a ghost."

Benjamin: "Before you say that, please look in the mirror. You look like you might fall down at any moment."

"Hey, there's always a price to pay for obtaining valuable information." Matchstick Malone leaned on the back of his chair and sat down at the table. "Looking at you, it seems you've gained more than me. So, want to share?"

"The prison is just a cover. There's a large complex underneath Aka-M." Benjamin showed the video on his phone to Match Malone. "They were conducting human experiments down there. There are several subjects who are still alive. But the management there is too strict, so I couldn't go in to collect evidence."

The Martian's invisibility and intangibility cannot be activated at the same time. Although the Martian can change his appearance, the Omnitrix's transformation time limit... Although Benjamin didn't want to say it, at this time when he was sneaking in to spy on intelligence, he did miss Ghost a little.

"That's pretty good, man. You got much more than me." Match Malone took out his mobile phone.

Malone's phone only contained a few seconds of video, which showed the corridor where Benjamin ran into Malone, but it failed to capture the Ice Ghost.

There is also a photo of part of a list.

"Kurt Langstone, Hugo Strange, Pamela Isley...who are these?"

"I looked it up online on the way here, and it says they're all well-known scientists and doctors. But for a layman like me, I've never heard of them," Matchstick Malone said. "The only person I remember is 'Victor Freese' on the list, and that's because he and his wife opened V-Core in Gotham, specializing in cryopreservation technology."

"The company is most famous for its cryonics technology. Its customers are generally those who don't want to die but have an incurable disease. They choose to spend money to freeze themselves, hoping to thaw themselves out and treat their illness later when the technology becomes more advanced."

Match Ma Long took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it on his lips, then took out a matchbox from his pocket.

He tried to light a match, he was always good at this, but this time maybe the matchbox was damp or the room was too cold and froze his fingers. Match Malone tried for a long time but couldn't light a fire, so he had to give up.

"Oh, it seems that God doesn't allow me to smoke in front of children."

"You really should smoke less. In fact, you'd better take off all your clothes now. It's for your own safety," Benjamin said. "Your whereabouts have been exposed, and someone sent Victor Freese to deal with you. I looked him up online and then infiltrated the V-Core company you mentioned, where I discovered a type of ancient bacteria."

"Since the person behind this wanted you to die quietly and was so sure Victor could do it, I think they wanted to use this bacteria that is unknown to the hospital, police, and courts, cannot be traced, and it is even more impossible to find the true cause of death."

"Oh." Match Malone didn't react much. He just turned on the recorder on his phone and took off his coat in front of Benjamin. "So how does this bacteria work?"

Bruce will definitely investigate V-Core Company later, so he has to find a way to reduce the risks of Bruce's future actions.

"I don't know the exact mechanism, but I've seen bodies of people who died from this bacteria. They were covered in small, bleeding holes. The one lab report I could find suggested they died suddenly after the bacteria had fully taken hold. It only took a few days."

"That sounds scary. The person doing my makeup must have had a very difficult job," Matchstick Malone asked. "Is it highly contagious?"

"Not very. The experimental reports show that this bacteria can only be transmitted into living organisms through special methods. Based on the experimental reports I could find at the time, and the fact that this bacteria was discovered in ancient ice, I speculate that low temperatures can limit its activity."

Benjamin said.

"By the same token, you'd better not get too excited. The rapid blood flow and increased body temperature may further stimulate its activity. That's why I turned the air conditioner to the lowest setting as soon as I entered your house."

Matchstick Malone rubbed the goose bumps on his arms from the cold: "I was wondering why it's colder inside than outside."

"But it's not cold enough," Benjamin said sadly. "Don't worry, I'm a professional at playing with ice. I'll only freeze your body, not your head."

Although this cannot prevent Matchstick Malone's death, it can at least delay some time.

Matchstick Malone wanted to say that there was no need, and he didn't really want to live that much.

But he hadn't handed over the information he got from Aka M to Bruce yet. He couldn't die yet, and he couldn't just go down to see Teacher Thomas.

What's more, even a match, even a despicable little man like him, occasionally wants to burn himself completely and illuminate the darkness.

So Matchstick Malone agreed. When Benjamin turned the watch, he put on his coat to prevent his skin from being frostbitten by the entire piece of ice on his arm... Actually, Matchstick Malone didn't know if this would work. He had never been frozen before today, but this action could relieve his anxiety to a certain extent.

After a flash of green light, the brown-haired, green-eyed boy disappeared, and the big black-blue moth did not appear in the room.

Just as Matchstick Malone was wondering if something had happened, he suddenly heard a shrill voice: "Nanomech? Great!"

"What are the infinitesimals? And where are you?"

Matchstick Malone looked around, but he could no longer hear the boy's voice in the cold room. He could only hear the air conditioner blowing cold air.

Matchstick Malone, who had no idea what was going on, had to take off his coat again and wondered whether he should get himself a bucket of ice water to soak in to slow down the bacterial attack.

At this time, Matchstick Malone didn't know that the scythe that the Grim Reaper was about to swing was kicked away by an alien technological version of a magic boy.

Just as he didn't know, his human immune system had just been confused by a nanometer-sized semi-mechanical alien life form, and the other party was attacking the ancient bacteria in his body.

Author's words: Benjamin before entering the dungeon: Wuhu! I want a super giant!

If Benjamin knew about the Tiny Man before entering the dungeon, he would say: Oh, no, it's so small, I still want the Colossal Giant.

Benjamin now: I want the tiniest people, I want the tiniest people, I want the tiniest people! Omnitrix, you have become so good!
