Chapter 117 Chapter 117 The Magic Boy's Call
When Oracle reported on the public screen that he had found Poison Ivy's trace, Li Hua and Batman both breathed a sigh of relief and felt a sense of relief.
This conversation that made me feel at a loss as to how to continue can finally come to an end!
When Poison Ivy was found, she had lost all her arrogance. That concentration of atomized powerful herbicide could poison even the respiratory tract of an ordinary human, let alone Poison Ivy, who was almost a humanoid plant.
Relying on the vast and complex Gotham sewer network, as well as the huge number of plant armies, Poison Ivy struggled in the sewer for twenty minutes, but finally couldn't hold on and tried to escape.
But Batman had anticipated this. Surveillance cameras had been installed in the sewer manholes in the area, and Oracle, who had been staring at the computer, had been staring at her.
Poison Ivy could be described as a very traditional summoning mage. Her close combat abilities were not outstanding compared to her fellow Arkham patients. Now that she had been poisoned and was in a weakened state, she had almost no ability to resist. By the time Li Hua landed on his flying staff, she had already been subdued by Robin, who had arrived at the scene first.
Don’t ask why Li Hua comes faster than Batman, because Batman is unwilling to ride Li Hua’s flying stick.
Even though Li Hua said, "It's okay if there's not enough space. You can use a grappling gun to get a ticket. Red Hood and Swampfire have done that before," Batman still firmly refused.
Batman's refusal wasn't just verbal; it was also evident in his actual actions, as he spun around and fired his grappling gun between floors. So, while Li Hua was eager to demonstrate his increasingly sophisticated flying staff skills to Batman, he couldn't quite reach out and grab Batman's cape.
Li Hua couldn't do this not because his right arm hadn't fully healed, but mainly because Li Hua felt that he and Batman were not familiar enough to play pranks on each other. When Jason and Tim used magic wands to prank Batman before, he also chose not to participate.
But Benjamin and Jason are definitely capable of doing this... So I said it long ago, he is the only one in this three-person team who is a truly honest man and a good boy!
Li Hua asked, "Are we going to take Poison Ivy directly to Arkham after that?"
"Yes, Batman doesn't provide prison food." Red Hood said, "But that's none of our business. We can go back to dinner next."
Li Hua then asked Robin, "Excuse me, can I have a few words with Poison Ivy?"
Robin: "Of course, please."
Poison Ivy wasn't feeling well at the moment, either physically or emotionally. She asked unhappily, "What?"
Li Hua pulled a cell phone out of his pocket and asked, "Excuse me, how is Scarecrow Mr. Freeze Bain's physical and mental state these days?"
He wants Scarecrow's fear gas, Mr. Freeze's freeze gun is also good, and Bane's venom, which can give people temporary superhuman strength, is also not to be missed.
Although Li Hua did not replicate the brains of these high-tech creations, Benjamin's Crab Armor Mastermind did!
Even if you can't reproduce it, you can keep it for yourself.
He may not use it, but he must have it!
Poison Ivy: ???
That was enough. She really couldn't understand what was going on in the mind of this magical boy.
Not only Poison Ivy, but also Robin, Oracle and Batman who were listening didn't understand why Li Hua asked this. Robin looked at Benjamin and Red Hood with questioning eyes, but one of them had still not taken off the gas mask on his face, and the other's face could not be seen even without the gas mask, so he couldn't analyze anything from their expressions.
Just like in the sewers, confusion once again took over her anger, and Poison Ivy asked, "If you're curious about this, why don't you just ask Robin and Batman?"
Li Hua: "I think as a fellow patient, you will be more familiar with them."
Poison Ivy was even more puzzled: "Then why do you think I would tell you?"
And what kind of thinking would prompt him to ask a group of mentally ill patients about their mental state? If their mental state was good, could they still stay in a mental hospital?
Li Hua quickly scrolled through the list of Arkham villains on his phone. "This isn't a big deal. Why didn't you tell me? Is the atmosphere among the patients in your Arkham Asylum harmonious, loving, and supportive? If you don't know, then Two-Face, Deadshot... forget it, let's go with the Mad Hatter. Do you know anything about these two?"
Two-Face's skills can be used to practice card fighting, and the Mad Hatter's hypnosis machine manufacturing technology can also be used to learn from him.
Forget about the Deadshot. This guy uses guns, and Li Hua will be allergic to guns until his right arm injury heals.
"I don't know." In order to end this inexplicable topic, Poison Ivy deliberately said, "The male and female prisoners in Arkham's mental institution are separated, and our relationship is not as good as you think. This is not a school, kid."
Li Hua, who had originally wanted to use this opportunity to figure out which wool... no, which criminal was going to escape from prison, felt a little regretful, but not too disappointed. He had not expected Poison Ivy to cooperate with the answer, but just asked with the idea of "maybe".
"Then could you help me give the Scarecrow a message?"
"Tell me about it."
The Master of Fear Scarecrow was defeated by a young magician who had just debuted. Not only did the fear gas not work, but he was also scared half to death by the other party's ability. This matter has become the after-dinner gossip of the entire Arkham. With the idea of watching the fun, Poison Ivy felt that she could help with this small favor.
Li Hua pulled Benjamin over and said, "Go ahead."
Benjamin: “Huh?”
What does this have to do with me?
Li Hua: "He plotted against me last time, but I didn't have time to scold him. I'm not good with words, so you can scold Scarecrow for me."
It would be best if I could make the Scarecrow so angry that he breaks out of prison, but it would only target him alone.
He will use this opportunity to obtain the latest concentrate of straw poison gas to analyze its composition for Crab Armor Mastermind, and then completely scare the Scarecrow so that his faith will be shattered and he will never dare to escape from prison again.
Although he had only encountered the scarecrow once in this world, Li Hua already had double the experience with scarecrows, and could be said to be an old acquaintance.
Benjamin is a professional when it comes to making people angry and making all their anger focused on himself.
Poison Ivy's expression became even more interesting.
She had not forgotten how irritating this brat's mouth was, and now she was very happy to drag someone else into being angry with her.
Benjamin guessed what Li Hua was going to do, but he was still helpless. "I've only seen Scarecrow a few times, what do you want me to say? 'Your reputation as the Master of Fear wasn't earned by your subordinates using their online trolls? You're a noob and you love to play around. I think you're either mentally ill or mentally retarded.'"
Everyone: “…”
What you said is quite infuriating.
Li Hua whispered in Benjamin's ear, "You're really irritating me. It would be bad if he gets so angry that he breaks out of prison and accidentally hurts someone."
Benjamin shook his head. "You've misunderstood the context. Prisonbreaking is a high-tech feat that can't be accomplished simply by anger. If Scarecrow escaped prison after being angered by my words, it only means he could have escaped prison anyway. Did you not know the last question on your math test, but then you solved it in a fit of rage?"
If the prison is to be imprisoned to a perfect degree, it should be like the galactic prison in his hometown. Even if the prisoner is as tenacious and evil as Ghost, or as smart as Albedo, he cannot escape and can only stay in jail honestly.
However, Benjamin also understood the difficulties faced by the staff of Arkham Asylum. Even in his own hometown, ordinary prisons on Earth often could not hold some extraordinary criminals.
However, due to the Galactic Management Law, Earth's own prisons cannot use technology above Level 2, and the Galactic Prison does not hold local criminals, so it seems a bit helpless.
Benjamin will always have nothing but respect for those who try to protect their homes and save others even without any super powers.
Thinking of this, Benjamin added, "What's the big deal about a superpowered freak messing with ordinary people? Tell all of you superpowered freaks out there—come at me if you dare. I'm BEN 10, and I'm here to serve you anytime, regardless of my name."
Poison Ivy: "I'll pass it on."
Li Hua: "Me too."
Red Hood: "Me too."
Li Hua felt that it was a bit difficult for Poison Ivy, who was at low health, to convey such a long message, so he asked, "Can you remember it? If you can't, we can apply for a visit."
Poison Ivy: “………………”
Poison Ivy looked at Batman who had just arrived at the scene and said, "Are you sure I'm the only one here who escaped from the mental hospital?"
Batman: "..."
Don’t ask, the answer is the wonderful and jumping thinking of teenagers.
Seeing Batman about to take Poison Ivy away, Benjamin chased after him: "Hey wait, wait, since I'm part plant, can you answer a question about plants for me? Do you know how to ripen plants so they bloom faster?"
Benjamin had checked Swampfire's information from No. 666 and learned that the Manser immortals on Manser Star, to which Swampfire belonged, possessed powerful plant control abilities. Mature and flowering Manser immortals could even control plants with low intelligence. A big part of the reason why Benjamin's Swampfire couldn't compete with Poison Ivy in plant control was that he hadn't reached the age to flower.
In the words of No. 666, he is just an immature child who can definitely not compete with an adult in wrestling (Plant).
Benjamin thought he was a genius for coming up with this. While he didn't know how to make someone mature quickly, or to what degree of maturity would allow the swamp fire to bloom, Poison Ivy surely knew how to hasten the ripening and flowering of plants. Swamp fire was a plant after all, so maybe it would work?
"No! We don't want to know!"
Before Benjamin could wait for Poison Ivy's answer, Red Hood and Li Hua had already jumped up. They covered Benjamin's ears and mouth with their hands and screamed.
"Batman, Robin, hurry! Take Poison Ivy away!"
The Ice Ghost incident clearly demonstrates that the alien hero's physiological changes also affect Benjamin himself. So, what's the difference between Benjamin's behavior of ripening the Swampfire and giving himself a hormone injection? Are hormone injections something you can just use randomly? And this "hormone injection" was given by the enemy!
The result of Li Hua using fear gas to make himself frenzied was predictable, but Benjamin had no idea what would happen if he did this kind of cross-racial thing!
"You think I don't know what he wants?"
Poison Ivy looked at the three people huddled together as if they were idiots.
"Didn't he just want me to help ripen his plant form? It's just that the sub-adult that hasn't blossomed yet has this power. I'd be a fool to help my enemy grow."
Batman, who didn't know about the ecology of the Manserato immortals, finally understood what Benjamin was up to. He and Robin quickly stuffed Poison Ivy into the Batmobile and stepped on the accelerator to rush towards Arkham.
I was afraid that if I was any later, these magical boys would do something big again.
-----------------------
The author has something to say:
Azmis and Dr. Maodun: What did we say? Children can learn a lot by being sent here, right?
Batman before meeting Benjamin/when he wasn't close to Benjamin: He's a pretty good kid. Azmis's advice about "better not to take the initiative to control him, or he'll get pissed off" is a bit exaggerated. Could it be that Azmis is too old-fashioned, has a bad temper, and doesn't have the patience to raise a child, so he gave such advice?
Batman now: Azmis never lied to me!!!
