Fear Gas

"Who?" Roman looked puzzled.

Looking at the roman whose brain seemed to be filled with toilet water, graves stepped up again and shouted angrily, "Scarecrow! Scarecrow! Scarecrow!!"

Roman touched his head and muttered to himself, "A scarecrow is just a scarecrow. who Jonathan crane is?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly dodged the graves' second foot, and said with a smile, "Boss, it's me who talks too much, when are we going?"

graves didn't answer but turned his eyes to the woman on the sofa.

"That... huh... Harley? The two of us are going out to do some errands. Can you just stay here?"

Harleen has been staring at the graves with crying eyes, with a posture that says I will follow you wherever you go.

Hearing the grave's question, she covered her heart and said in surprise, "Harley? Is this the nickname you gave me?"

"Oh, dear, you are so sweet."

Originally, graves had forgotten her name, but she understood it as a nickname.

A woman is indeed a terrifying creature!

So, he had to say directly: "We are going out, you don't have to follow, understand?"

Seeing his serious expression, Harley nodded and agreed after a little consideration: "I know that men have to go out to work to earn money to support their families."

"Don't worry, I will stay home and take care of our children."

Looking at her still flat abdomen, graves couldn't help but said fiercely: "Wait, when I come back, I will fulfill your wish and give you a child!"

Then he turned around and walked out of the door, and drove away with Roman.

...

jonathan crane, an accomplished professor in the field of psychology, is also highly accomplished in the field of chemistry. And by his extraordinary talent, he developed a "fear gas" that can make people see what they are most afraid of.

Later, he changed his name to Scarecrow to spread fear for fun. He was a well-known villain in Gotham City and one of Batman's rivals. graves' next target is him, or the fear gas in his hand.

Although Batman successfully developed an antidote for fear gas in the first "Mystery of the Shadow" in Batman's dark trilogy, it just shows that fear gas is useful to Batman.

However, the scarecrow is a bit hard to find now. , some time ago, he was caught by Batman during a contraband transaction with the Gotham gang.

If he hadn't bribed the police officer in charge of escorting in time, the scarecrow might have gone to jail. In addition to his usual trading partners, those gang leaders were all caught by Harvey and others, and the scarecrow who was temporarily out of business had to hide first. After all, Gotham City has been a little chaotic recently, and even he has to avoid the edge for a while.

The disappearance of the scarecrow is not difficult for graves. Don't forget that he has eyeliner all over Gotham, and since he came out of Arkham, he has asked his followers to look for traces of this villain everywhere.

A few days ago, a goon give the news that a scarecrow had been seen on a farm outside Gotham.

It's just that graves was busy with other things at that time, and now he has time to confirm. By the time he and Roman came to the suburbs, the sky was already bright, and facing the warm morning breeze, the two drove to the long-abandoned farmhouse.

Said to be a farm, but it was actually a solitary house in the middle of a large wheat field.

But when the two of them drove to the front of the house, they found that the place was different from what they had imagined. Although it was a little dilapidated, it was never abandoned, and there were still many traces of repairs.

Someone lives here.

graves got out of the car first, followed by Roman. The two of them kicked open without knocking on the door and then walked into the house one after the other.

They are not here to be guests, so why do they have to be polite?

Unexpectedly, after entering, no one was found in the fairly clean room, but on the sofa in the living room, the scarecrow's iconic burlap sack mask was thrown there casually.

Now graves can be sure that this is indeed the scarecrow's hiding place, but he won't know if he has gone out or is hiding in a corner of the room.

"Boss, no one is here?" Roman imitated the boss's appearance, wearing a trench coat and sunglasses, and a cigar in his mouth.

"Who said nobody is here." graves grinned and let out a breath of smoke: "I can smell him."

Then, he called to the empty room, "crane, don't hide, come out quickly."

"We don't mean to harm you, we just want to borrow something from you."

In the end, as expected by the graves, after ten seconds, a voice came from the attic above the two of them.

"it turns out to be the famous Graves."

"Why are you here, you're not busy leading your goons to escape from prison today, but came to me."

"I don't have anything good to entertain you."

When Roman heard the voice, he realized that there was an attic above his head, and the scarecrow was standing in it and talking to the two of them.

graves didn't seem surprised at all, he threw away the burlap mask on the sofa with a look of disgust, and sat on the sofa. In this way, he can see the scarecrow by raising his head a little, and his neck will not be tired.

When the Scarecrow saw his status symbol thrown to the ground like garbage, his face immediately redden with anger.

"graves, don't ask for trouble, get out of my territory!"

"Some people are afraid of you, but I'm not afraid of you."

To his threat, graves said nonchalantly: "You talk too much, I came here to ask you if I can borrow something!"

"Boss, why are you talking nonsense like that?" Roman, who had a sour neck, said angrily, "let's just grab him directly."

Before waiting for graves to reply, the Scarecrow couldn't hold it any longer and pulled the switch beside him.

The disguised sprinklers on the walls around the room began to emit a white mist with a hint of green.

These strange mists quickly filled the entire room, and the scarecrow had already put on a gas mask and stood in the attic, laughing wildly, as if he had foreseen the fate of the two of them.

Roman, who was unprepared, inevitably inhaled the poisonous gas of fear. When he reacted and wanted to escape from the door, the fear gas took effect, and hallucinations appeared in front of him.

graves, who was sitting safely on the sofa, didn't know what roman was most afraid of. Anyway, he held his head and kept shouting.

"Boss, please, please, stop beating."

"so you are most afraid of your me!"

Having said that, he kicked roman buttocks and kicked him out the door.

"How is that possible, aren't you afraid?" The scarecrow who was laughing wildly just now was in disbelief.

graves took a deep breath of fear gas and asked suspiciously, "Why should I be afraid?"

" let me give you a little advice."

"I hope that when you improve the fear gas next time, please add some strawberry flavor to it. I may like it better. It smells a little stinky now." Then he rub his nose a few times in a proud manner.

The scarecrow in the attic suddenly laughed and shouted, "If that's the case, then I'll give you a better one."

"Let you taste the second-generation fear gas that I especially developed for Batman!"
