Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

Twenty-four. Go to Narrow Island

What kind of experience is falling into the water?Especially if your hands and feet are tied.

Kevin can tell you that this is definitely not a pleasant experience. The moment he fell into the water with his whole body unable to move, when the cold water splashed, he felt his own The head seems to be mounted on a thin layer of wood.

He tried his best to hold his breath, but when the water burst, he realized that this is almost impossible, because you can’t block your nostrils, the water seeps into your nostrils, and backflows into your trachea. A challenge to instinct.

Maybe someone in this world can learn to break through under the pressure of instinct, but that will definitely not be the current Kevin. He is just a 24-year-old young man. Thanks to his father who died 7 years ago, he is better than others. The young man has an extra layer of identity in the dark, and has also received training from his father, but that is not enough to keep him in this situation.

And at the moment of falling into the water, he vaguely saw the corpse tied up with stones under the water. It was Thompson... which made the young man feel a touch of cold despair in his heart.

Panic always occurs inadvertently, and then it cannot be eradicated, but when Kevin faced the pain of drowning and habitually struggled, he clenched the knife in his hand.

This is what he learned from his father, "The more dangerous you are, the more you can't let go of the weapon in your hand."

The cold blade gave him the last glimmer of confidence in this desperate situation. He slid the short knife belonging to Thompson into the rope of his wrist, erected it, and slashed the rope on his wrist with difficulty. The saw blade on the side cut through his skin, pain... the bleeding pain made him want to open his mouth and yell, but he couldn't!

In this case, opening his mouth is tantamount to suicide. He can only grit his teeth and admit the pain of tearing the skin. When he feels that the last trace of air in his lungs will be squeezed out, he feels his chest is dull. The rope was finally cut when it was too much.

The hope of surviving exploded in Kevin’s eyes. He shook his hands frantically, and the rope became looser and looser. Finally, his hands were free. He moved his wrists to cut off the rope with the stones hanging from his body. Then he swam frantically towards the sky, looking upward from the dark bottom, revealing a pale light.

It was an escape, the light of hope.

"puff"

The water splashed, Kevin slapped the water in embarrassment, breathing heavily. He raised his head and looked over his head. The guy in the monkey mask was leaning on the railing with his hands, and there was a fireworks on his mouth. He waved at him like an old friend who hadn't seen him for many years, but it was the bastard who pushed him down just now.

Damn it!This difficult lunatic!Why hasn't he gone yet!

"Did you know? In that case, only those who are not crushed by the inner fear are likely to survive. When drowning, most people die from the uncontrollable panic. In fact, as long as they are slightly Calm down, the hope of survival is actually great. Although your performance is terrible, there is no doubt that you are a good young man."

Cyber ​​looked at Kevin who was walking up the steps wet, he had taken off the monkey mask on his face and looked at him completely, but Kevin looked at the talking bastard and lying At his feet, Ed, who barely recovered a trace of sanity, an uncontrollable anger exploded in Kevin's heart. With a howl, he waved the knife in his hand and rushed towards Saibo.

He was a bit taller in the game, but watching the exhausted young man leaping over, Saibo shook his head with his mouth curled, and did not move at all. When the dagger was about to touch his body, his body slightly On the other hand, while avoiding the weapon, he hit Kevin in the abdomen with a punch.

The young man’s eyes widened at this moment,

"There is a thin line between recklessness and courage, Kevin, it looks like your father didn't teach you this."

Saibo squatted down, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, stuffed it into Kevin’s mouth, and set fire to him. He followed the temptation, "You see, the grievances between us have ended. You want to kill me. Then I punished you. It’s over a hundred. Let’s talk about what you are going to do next."

"what?"

Kevin hugged his stomach and slumped on the ground. He looked at Saibo. The pain was still spreading in his body. He once again realized the other side of this guy, violence...very violent.

"I mean, you leaked the secret, didn't you? You said they would punish you. How are you and your brother going to do it? Run away? Kill your neck? Or do you want to survive?"

The young man breathed subconsciously. As a result, he inhaled a breath of smoke, which made him cough constantly. He took the cigarette from his mouth and left it far away, but he had to admit that what Cyber ​​said was right. Now The biggest question before him and Ed was how to escape the hunt of the Shadow Warrior Alliance.

They are just small people, and the upper level can solve them with a finger, but the small people also want to live.

"It has nothing to do with you! Damn it, can we go now?"

Kevin didn't want to have any contact with Cyber, and until now, he didn't think Cyber ​​would let them go, so he held the short knife tightly, but he regretted to find that this thing didn't seem to protect him. .

Facing the young man’s anger, Cyber ​​made a regretful expression. He stood up, patted the non-existent dust on his pants, and then shook his hand.

"Well, you can leave, but for the question just now, I actually have a little suggestion. If you feel that there is nowhere to go, it is better to come to me. You see, the dilemma we face is the same, we have to Help each other, understand? You know where I live, right?"

After Saber said they could go, Kevin gave him a puzzled look. After seeing that Saber had no intention of doing anything, he gritted his teeth and walked over to cut off the rope on Ed's body, carrying him on his back. His brother walked away from here step by step, until he walked out of 20 Kevin, he looked back, and Saibo was still standing there without any intention of killing them.

"Isn't he afraid of me going back to tell the news?"

Everything suffered tonight made the young man's head a little confused. He simply stopped thinking about these things. Since the other party did not intend to kill them, this is the best result, isn't it?

As for the troubles of the Kagemusha... let's wait for Ed to recover. Thinking of this, Kevin also feels desperate. He is too weak, so weak that even self-protection is a problem.He even envied Saibo a bit. If he could easily kill one and capture two under the siege of three people, he would have a little bit of confidence even in the face of those killers.

Ten minutes later, the panting Kevin put Ed, who couldn’t even speak, on the side of the road. He sat there planning to take a break, but in the middle of the night, the roar of the car rang from behind them, and soon, Two bright lights of the car lifted the palm of the young man's hands, blocking his eyes, and then heard a click. A somewhat old but well-maintained pickup stopped in front of him, and the car windows rolled down. , Saibo with sunglasses waved at him,

"Come up, brother, here is a long way from the narrow island, you need a ride to see you."

"What do you want to do?"

Kevin was a little crazy. When he thought he and Ed would be killed, this bastard let them go, but when he thought he would get rid of him completely, this guy appeared again with a very familiar appearance. Before his eyes, it was like a lingering nightmare.

"Didn't you say that the grievances between us are gone? Do you want to kill us?"

"Damn, the people in this city are so unfriendly!"

Saibo cursed. He knocked on the car door and increased his tone. "Yes, the previous thing is over, but I need your help now. I don't know where the lunatic asylum is. You won't refuse me. Right?"

Kevin was stunned, a sense of absurdity emerged in his heart, he couldn't help but ask,

"Why should I help you! Why should I help you? You almost killed me just now!"

Hearing this question, Saibo raised his brows.

"Well, this is a good question, but I think it will convince you."

His left hand was placed on the car window, where he was holding a shiny silver pistol. After seeing the thing, all of Kevin’s anger was suppressed, he became dejected, and he was reluctant to fight. Saibo dealt with, but in the end, he still carried Ed and sat on the old pickup. Under the darkness, the car that was well maintained by his father roared again and drove all the way towards the narrow island. go with.

At the same time, above the filthy streets of the narrow island, a black shadow quietly moved back and forth between the roofs. His vigorous skill was like a beast hunting in the dark, precise , Fast, without a pause.

It was a guy dressed like a black bat. He jumped off the edge of the building. The black cloak opened silently behind him, helping him to glide to his destination. It was an unremarkable building. The house, but according to the news he received from the recently hapless Sergeant Fras, this is Falcone’s stronghold on the narrow island.

Not only Cyber, "Batman" is also very interested in the raw materials that Falcone has shipped to the narrow island many times. After interrupting the transaction at the dock last time and sending Falcone to the prison, recently He came out several times in the evening, beat more than 10 dangerous guys to death, tied them up and threw them at the back door of Gotham Police Station.

The experience he once had made Batman extremely hate crime. These criminals should be punished, but he will not kill them, because he does not want to be the same villain as those criminals. This is the bottom line he insists on!

In the past 7 years of his disappearance, he has lived almost entirely among criminals. Will he sympathize with them?

Yes, he will. When he stole for the first time in order not to be starved to death, Batman felt that he had lost the ability to judge right and wrong. When he was wandering around the Far East, he experienced it more than once. The fear before making the choice between sin and death.

He would steal because he was hungry, he would steal warehouses with other unknown thieves, just in exchange for food for the next day, and the pleasure after committing a crime. It took him 6 years to fully understand In the bizarre world of criminals, he even forgot his original intention during that terrible time, and he was even one step away from the final loss!

But there is a kind of strength supporting him, so that he has never become one of them!The parents who died before his eyes represented the fears of the past. In the last year of hard training, he armed himself with firm will, strong strength, and skillful martial arts, killing Han Aragul, After the leader of the Shadow Warrior Alliance, he was finally reborn in the dissolution of fear!

"I can't be them, I won't be them!"

Batman stood on the top of a narrow island like hell and muttered to himself. He looked down at the people who were forced to do less just jobs for their livelihoods. They were the bottom of Gotham. They lived in slums. , Many things are not for them to choose, he will sympathize with them, but when they violate his inner bottom line, he will punish them mercilessly.

Use fear and violence to make yourself something more terrifying than crime, a symbol, just like the person who appeared in front of him, the best teacher in the Kagemusha League said,

"The apparent order maintainers are for self-satisfaction, so it is easy to lose their fighting spirit, and even they themselves will eventually fall into unrighteous hypocrites, but if you can surpass yourself and dedicate yourself to a certain belief, if anyone If nothing can stop you, you will become...something eternal! Become a symbol and transcend it!"

Batman moved his hands, he was afraid of the power surging in his body, but when he found a way to vent his own anger, he chose the path, he found that he would not get lost in revenge and power. A benchmark in time, a blockade of all defenses!

The figure that almost merged with the darkness opened his arms and fell down, like a cross falling from the edge. The moment he fell into the air, he opened his eyes and a firm light flashed in his eyes. Passed away.

He can't be them!He has lost a lot, so he can't lose anymore, himself!
