Chapter 7 Bucket: Your car is really nice! ...
Batman uses his grappling hook to leap up the stairs. Players take a break to devise a battle plan.
Wen Yue sat with her legs crossed behind the Bat-computer, leisurely eating a hamburger, fries, and slurping milk tea. She was looking at the factory map of Ace Chemicals through the semi-transparent game panel, searching for an infiltration point, preparing to control Batman to crawl through the ventilation ducts into the factory later.
At that moment, the computer screen indicated that there were footsteps behind Batman.
Batman suddenly turned around—
"Stop here, are you waiting for me?" A familiar voice came from the screen from Batman's perspective.
Inside the bat cave, Wen Yue recognized the person without hesitation, instinctively sat up straight, paused briefly, wiped her mouth, and reached for two books placed next to the computer desk. She hadn't expected these two guidebooks to come in so quickly.
Under the dim neon lights, a familiar figure wearing a red hood and a leather jacket was revealed.
"Jason Todd," Batman called out, revealing the newcomer's identity.
"You investigated me? Ha, you're right. I've heard Batman knows everything, but I think he's more of a control freak, isn't he?" Jason scoffed at Batman. "They all see Batman as a superhero who fights crime and saves Gotham, but I don't think so. I've seen your evil, and I will never be fooled by your appearance..."
The people who came in were talking in a low voice, while Wen Yue was turning the pages of a book with a rustling sound.
The undefined red-hooded aka Jason blah blah blah said a lot of things.
The gist is that he's Red Hood, ruthless killer, and a lifesaver. He's all about facts, not empty promises; only through solidarity can a battle be fought. He would never believe Batman's facade. And his specialty is cracking skulls open. The reason they were still chatting before Batman's death was purely to serve as a warning to others.
Wen Yue couldn't help but laugh when she heard this arrogant statement.
Look at the facts: Red Hood, the sharpshooter with perfect aim, used his human-outline marksmanship to chase Batman across half of Gotham, from the east side of the city to the west, and from the south to the north. Wen Yue thought that he mainly used the sniper rifle for a stylistic purpose.
What are people saying now? Wen Yue skipped the arrogant embellishments in their words and went straight to the key word: "chat."
Okay, let's have a chat.
"Why do you keep chasing me?" Wen Yue asked.
“That depends on what you did.” Red Hood pointed his twin pistols at Batman and said, “Looks like you really don’t remember anything, do you, Batman?”
"..." Wen Yue thought hard.
"What, you're speechless? I was hoping for more... Batman," Jason said through gritted teeth.
"..." Wen Yue was still trying to think.
"Speak!" Jason was about to explode.
"Uh..." Wen Yue was sweating profusely with anxiety. "Brainless! Think quickly! What did I do?!"
"I was wrong, I shouldn't... I shouldn't have ignored you." Wen Yue finally managed to stammer out a sentence.
"?" This time it was Jason's turn to be dumbfounded.
No, what's our relationship? Why are you talking in such an ambiguous way? This is only our first meeting! He thought to himself, he's never had amnesia!
"Don't say such weird things to me again! How long has it been? A week? A day?" Jason snapped. "I always thought it was Black Mask, but I never expected it was you!"
"ah?"
Wen Yue looked completely bewildered: "Big brother, tell me, what did I do? Explain yourself clearly!"
Fortunately, Jason didn't continue with the riddle, "You stole my kryptonite, didn't you?"
"!" Kryptonite?
The player finally remembered the kryptonite she had accidentally collected at the docks during her first mission some time ago, and suddenly realized: So it was your kryptonite!
Thinking about it carefully, this makes a lot of sense. After all, when Wen Yue was watching DC, she saw that the outlaw Bucket said that the three things he was most afraid of were the death of Katherine (Jason's adoptive mother), starvation, and Superman, because Bucket thought that Superman could easily kill him.
So it makes perfect sense that Jason was the buyer secretly collecting Kryptonite in Gotham.
Wen Yue's conscience, which was practically brand new, ached slightly. She really didn't know that the kryptonite the player found at the dock was Jason's stuff; she had just been cracking down on illegal trading on the side.
Look at the mess this has made! If Wen Yue had known earlier... even though the players might still take it, she could have returned it sooner!
"I'm sorry, I didn't know it was yours." Wen Yue bravely admitted her mistake and said sincerely, "I'll return it to you right away."
Batman appears to pull a large kryptonite from his Batbelt, which is actually his game backpack, and then hands it to Jason, holding the kryptonite which is about the size of a basketball.
Jason's electronic eyes on the red hood widened, unable to contain his shock: "Where did you pull that out from? The belt?"
"Hmm." Wen Yue lied through the screen without batting an eye, "Here's your kryptonite, please keep it safe."
"Oh my god!" Jason was briefly possessed by Father Jay, unable to express his shock in words.
Red Hood, holding a large chunk of kryptonite, pondered: Should he take it back like this? He had nowhere to put it on his motorcycle.
After a moment's thought, Jason took off the red hood—Batman knew his identity anyway, so he didn't care anymore. He eagerly tried to see if he could stuff the kryptonite inside the hood. Unsuccessfully.
Jason's gaze involuntarily drifted to Batman's belt, and a brilliant idea struck him: why not have Batman put the kryptonite back into the belt, and then he could wear the belt home, take the kryptonite out when he got home, and return the belt later at some other time...
Wen Yue noticed Jason's conflicted look and thought to herself: The opportunity has come!
Behind the Batman suit, Wen Yue sat in front of the computer, flipping through two books: "How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk" and "Nonviolent Communication," trying to apply what she learned.
"I know that the Red Hood is discerning, proactive, practical, and down-to-earth."
First, give children affirmation and praise, communicate with teenagers with respect and understanding, establish a good communication atmosphere, and reduce conflicts.
Then, it's important to spark the child's interest, create an interactive environment, and encourage the child to continue the communication.
So, are we going to drive the Batmobile?
Batman silenced everyone with just two sentences.
"What?" Jason had absolutely no idea how the two sentences were connected.
"Interested in driving the Batmobile?" Wen Yue had completely mastered the art of language and communication skills.
"Really?" Jason asked incredulously, "You didn't just lure them in and lock them up?"
Wen Yue smiled in response. If it were a real bat, it might actually do that, but as for players… “How could that be?”
The Bat-computer connected to the Bat-Gauntlet popped up on the holographic screen. Wen Yue made a few operations on the screen, "Okay, I have registered your face and voice into the Batmobile system. You can drive the Batmobile whenever you want from now on."
Jason was stunned and speechless.
Before anyone knew it, the Batmobile's AI activated its automatic navigation function and arrived beside Jason. With a "click," the door opened, and the built-in AI's voice came from inside: "Facial recognition complete, identity confirmed. Welcome, Mr. Jason."
Jason stood there, still holding the hood in his hand, dumbfounded. "Unbelievable."
The Batmobile's built-in AI seized the opportunity: "Voiceprint registration complete, identity confirmed as Jason Todd."
Is this for real? This old bat.
—But the format of these two intelligent voice commands looks familiar. Is this a nationally standardized format?
“You can take your kryptonite home in the Batmobile,” Batman suggested gently.
Although his brain was still in a daze, Jason's body had already honestly gotten into the Batmobile.
"Whoosh—" The Batmobile sped forward.
After seeing off the red-hooded figure, return to the mission.
Batman navigated the ventilation ducts through the silent darkness, infiltrating the interior of the Ace Chemical Plant.
It was midnight. The ordinary employees who worked during the day had already gone home, and now the guards inside the factory were Scarecrow and Black Mask's henchmen.
The player retrieved electronic jamming equipment, rendering all the surveillance cameras in the area unusable.
Soon, a question came through the captain of the guard's earpiece, but before he could reply, he was knocked unconscious by Batman, who had crept up behind him.
The person on the other end of the headset clearly heard the commotion of the person falling to the ground. After repeatedly asking questions without success, they disconnected the communication and went to report the situation.
After Batman took down three more teams of guards, a commotion could be heard nearby. So the player changed into the guards' uniform vests.
The closer you get to the factory, the more thorough the guards' protection becomes. The outermost guards only wear dust masks, but when you get to the core area of the factory, everyone wears a gas mask—once you put on a gas mask, who can recognize you?
"Oh no! Oh no! Batman is coming!"
The player's terrified performance was so convincing that he successfully blended into the team that came to his aid.
The Scarecrow's plan was launched ahead of schedule, requiring manpower to insert mass-produced fear gas liquid into the central mixing chamber in preparation for release.
The player was very proactive and followed the team to the scarecrow. The group followed their leader's orders to insert the poisonous liquid, but the player, being a traitor, inserted the neutralizing agent remotely controlled by the bat computer.
After completing the preparations, the scarecrow eagerly pressed the switch, and the toxic gas shrouded the factory, spreading outwards. Thinking his plan had succeeded, the scarecrow laughed heartily and went outside, filled with the pride and joy of having his long-cherished wish fulfilled.
Wen Yue couldn't bear to tell the scarecrow a sad fact: if the range of the fear gas was 100%, then the range of the neutralizer was 1000%, meaning that all his work over the past few months had been for nothing.
Wen Yue is a professional actress, while he is an innocent fool.
The player Batman was a huge success!
Believing himself to have won a resounding victory, Scarecrow continued his retreat, babbling on and on: "The light of death has enveloped Gotham, Batman's undefeated legend is about to end. Victory will ultimately belong to me, Scarecrow; Batman is nothing but a defeated foe. All dramas are so perfect... The ending is already decided. I have defeated Batman!"
Player: emmm
Yes, yes, you're absolutely right.
