Chapter 127 Chapter 127 Think about it, think about it carefully
On the rooftop near Black Mask's location, Batman, Nightwing, and Robin are watching the live broadcast of the Magic Boy vs. Black Mask battle through hidden cameras and bugs.
Not only did they not make any move to stop the Magic Boy from attacking Black Mask, but Nightwing even muttered to himself when the Magic Boy was feeding Black Mask a move: "Why does that move look so familiar to me?"
"He must have learned it from Deathstroke," Batman said. "The magic boy reduced his strength and changed the intensity. It seems he's been practicing with cards a lot in private."
Robin: "If I hadn't known it was a play, and if I hadn't helped the magic boy review the script, I would have really thought he was going to cut Black Mask's head open."
This is all a pre-arranged process. Simply put, one person plays the good guy and the other plays the bad guy.
The reason was that Batman knew very well that according to the logic of this group of magical boys F3, they would not just let it go after being tossed around so many times. He simply took this opportunity to let them get revenge and beat up Black Mask, so as to prevent them from secretly doing something unimaginable one day.
Black Mask was going to be beaten anyway, so it didn't matter who beat him, so he might as well let the kids vent their anger.
Among them, Li Hua, who suffered the worst, was naturally the main force.
When Li Hua learned that he was going to act in a play, he was a little nervous and wrote a script and wanted everyone to help him take a look.
But everyone who watched Magic Daddy's livestream smiled encouragingly. Tim even told Li Hua, "It's okay. Just play as you please. We believe in you."
Li Hua: "Aren't you afraid that I will really beat him to death?"
Benjamin: "Can't you replace your uniform? Get one with a less powerful one. Don't worry about anything else. Red Hood and I spar with you every day. We're the ones who taught you most of your taijutsu. Your dominant hand hasn't fully healed yet. If you don't use the [Fighting] card to beat Black Mask, we can write our names backwards if we can't stop you."
Jason: "Dude, wait until you can get past me without having to fight cards before you worry about that. Then just go ahead and take my share."
Benjamin: “And my share.”
"Aren't you going to do it? Especially Ben. Black Mask has been eyeing you covetously."
Benjamin and Jason exchanged a look, smiling meaningfully. "No, I believe you can definitely help us vent our anger."
Come on, Li Hua, show your initiative!
But Li Hua wasn't confident in his acting skills: "But what if I make a mistake and Black Mask finds out? The original plan was to have one team play the good cop and the other the bad cop to question him, right?"
Jason: "You don't have to worry about that. Batman has the power and means to make Black Mask confess. Batman just can't stand Black Mask bullying children like this, so he's giving you a chance to beat him up, but you're too embarrassed to say it out loud."
Facing Li Hua's inquiring gaze, Batman neither admitted nor denied it. He simply tilted his head and said, "When you're ready, have Ben transform into a Kryptonian and send us over. Everything will proceed according to plan."
Facts have proven that Li Hua is indeed worthy of everyone's trust. If it weren't for the wrong timing, it would really be a good time to eat some popcorn.
In the eyes of those in the know, this was an interesting and performative scene, but in the eyes of Black Mask and Li Hua, it was the exact opposite.
Especially after Black Mask made that objective assessment, Li Hua couldn't help but stop struggling and looked at Black Mask seriously for a long time: "You said you are so rich, can't you buy a mask with better vision? Look carefully, I am a magic boy of love and justice, not a lawbreaker like you said?"
Black Mask thought it was reasonable for him to think he was mentally ill. After all, Li Hua played the role of a vengeful magician whose sanity was taken away by anger according to the script, and he was indeed furious because of Black Mask's targeting of himself and his companions during this period.
This performance can be said to be 30% based on acting skills and 70% true nature.
Li had already prepared himself mentally. Based on what he had done some time ago, it was within his expectations that Black Mask would call him a pervert.
But what the hell is gangster talent?
Li Hua has always been an honest man and has done his job well. Damn Black Mask, stop talking nonsense and slandering people with your criminal record certificate!
"You think everyone else is black because you are so good at it. You should send your resume to Hollywood right away. Blackening is very popular there recently.
The first push is strong, the second weakens, and the third is exhaustion. Seeing that Li Hua's momentum had been weakened by Black Mask's words, Benjamin immediately stepped forward.
"You've spent so much time and effort trying to find out about us. I'm much better than you. I only need one look to tell you're a loser with terrible taste."
Scold his most rude teammate to his face? As if Ben 10 didn't exist?
Black Mask is better at trash talking, right? When it comes to "pissing off the enemy," Benjamin is truly fearless!
Wasn't it agreed that they'd beat him up and play the good cop, and then have Batman come in and play the bad cop? Now it's suddenly turned into a trash-talking contest?
I really can't stand it.
Although Jason was puzzled, he was not surprised or frustrated. He just stepped forward.
Black Mask naturally noticed Red Hood's actions. He remembered that the information mentioned that Red Hood was the only one in the three-person team who was suspected to have no special abilities, but in contrast, his attacks and interrogation techniques were more fierce.
"Why are you so nervous? You've studied us for so long, you must have figured it out. I'm just a physical vigilante with no special abilities. I don't have their strength, nor can I stand still and trash-talk. But luckily..."
Red Hood took out a pair of shiny brass knuckles from the universal belt around his waist and put it on his right hand. He punched Black Mask in the face with a heavy punch, knocking him to the ground. He stepped on Black Mask's chest to prevent him from getting up. The fierce fist and electronic sound fell on Black Mask's shiny black head.
"I have the strength and means to deal with scum like you."
Benjamin and Li Hua are not very skilled in beating up pure humans. They can talk trash all they want, but why did they stop?
Real warriors can chat about family matters while fighting!
If Black Mask had his limbs intact, he wouldn't have been beaten unilaterally by Jason to the point where he couldn't fight back, and could only try to avoid the blow to his head in a panic.
But since he had been beaten to a low health by Li Hua who was practicing [Fighting] cards, he could only be pinned to the ground and beaten by Red Hood in his own office.
Black Mask could clearly feel that every attack from Red Hood landed on his head with a deadly force of wind.
"Aren't you asking for information?" Black Mask roared, "Just ask!"
It was you, Red Hood, who stopped the magic boy earlier and said that it would be difficult to report to Batman if he didn't get the information after beating him to death. Why is it you, Red Hood, who is beating him to death without asking a single question now?
"You weren't going to cooperate anyway."
Red Hood said in the gap between the falling fists.
"You'll definitely give us false information, or simply give us nothing to buy time. In that case, why don't we strike first? Even Batman can't bring the dead back to life. Besides, without a body, there's no evidence. Without evidence, Batman and Nightwing can't do anything to us. Ben 10!"
"Leave it to me." Benjamin understood immediately and used Li Hua to block his movement of turning the Omnitrix.
"The shapeshifter appears!"
The black mask saw a green light explode from behind the magic boy, and a ball of green transparent slime with a cone-shaped metal device floating on the top flew out with a strange smile, dissolving all the metal tables, chairs and cement in its passage.
"Leave it to me. I can make sure this guy disappears without a trace in less than five seconds."
Black Mask: ???
"Where are the magic boys of love and justice? Where are the vigilantes of justice? How come you are more efficient and skilled at silencing people and destroying bodies than a gangster like me?
"Don't talk nonsense. What do you mean by silencing someone and destroying the body? This is clearly purification magic."
The magic boy folded his elbows and looked at me, saying.
"The purpose of extracting information from you is to send you to the police station so that you can't commit crimes again. Using the 'reformation' purification spell can achieve the same effect and is more permanent. Why don't we do that?"
"Are you idiots?"
Black Mask spat out a mouthful of blood foam mixed with tooth fragments.
"As one of the leaders of Gotham's underworld, I set order for those under me and those around me! If I die, Gotham will be plunged into a power purge, and the once stable situation will fall into chaos again. The innocent people you protect will live in even greater danger than they do now... Just like Blüdhaven!"
Why else would Batman physically mediate fights and conflicts between gangs?
Because the principle of "when gods fight, mortals suffer" also applies in Gotham, the fight between the two gangs for profit will inevitably affect innocent citizens.
But the teenagers didn't seem to be listening at all. The alien said disdainfully, "Who are you kidding? Desmond has the final say and monopolizes power in the underworld of Blüdhaven. You've been in Gotham for so many years and haven't even completely dominated the underworld. Who cares whether you're dead or alive?"
Black Mask nearly choked to death on his own blood.
What do these brats know about business wars, power, and gangs!
Can Blüdhaven be compared to Gotham? Their economic development levels are not even on the same level!
One is a second-tier city, the other is a developed first-tier city; one only had permanent vigilantes last year, the other has had permanent vigilantes for more than 20 years; one police station can solve problems by spending some money, the other police station has become increasingly difficult to deal with over the past 20 years and has even teamed up with Batman.
But unlike Desmond who had no ambition to guard such a small piece of land, Black Mask's power had spread beyond Gotham City. At the same time, Gotham City's business was also booming. If Black Mask wanted to, the manpower, weapons and funds he had were enough for him to go to a third world country and establish a regime.
Black Mask felt deep despair at this moment.
It's not because he was going to be beaten to death by three angry teenagers, but because he realized that the only way for him to survive was for him, a gangster boss who had no children and no plans to have children and had an extremely bad temper, to tutor three rebellious teenagers!
"Black Mask is right."
When Black Mask was ready to teach the three teenagers with his brain on fire, Batman finally arrived.
Although they kicked a bigger hole in the floor-to-ceiling window of Black Mask's office and destroyed Black Mask's expansion plan for the Blüdhaven branch, Black Mask, who was brutally beaten by the three teenagers, had to admit that Batman's dark image was so dazzling at this moment.
Alien: "We're just asking him questions, we're not actually going to kill him. Look, he's still breathing and conscious. We're just following your instructions to make the bad guys feel terrified first so we can question them later."
Magic Boy: "Yeah, Black Mask keeps refusing to confess. So we have no choice but to use some drastic measures to make him confess."
Red Hood: "If you had come later, maybe we would have found out the answer."
"Don't listen to them, Bat." Black Mask raised his voice, accusingly saying, "They didn't ask me for any information at all, and they just kept beating me up!"
"Then why should I ask if you don't tell me what you know? You act as if you don't know why we came to your door."
Facing Black Mask's accusation, the magic boy not only righteously counterattacked, but also retorted what Black Mask had said before. He leaned over to Black Mask and pointed two fingers at his head.
"I admit that I had some personal grudges when I beat you, but it's not my fault that you were beaten like this. Why didn't I beat others but you? You have to look for your own reasons. Think about it, Black Mask, think about it carefully."
Black Mask took a deep breath, turned to Batman and said in a hoarse voice: "If you want to ask me something, you must first get these three little devils away from me."
Batman and Jason, who have dealt with Black Mask for many years, both know that what Black Mask means at this moment is:
I will cooperate with your interrogation, provided that you get rid of these three plague gods as soon as possible!
