Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path

What is it like to fall into the water? Especially if your hands and feet are bound.

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

He tried his best to hold his breath, but when the water splashed, he realized that it was almost impossible, because you can't block the nostrils, the water seeps into the nostrils, and pours down into the trachea, that is A challenge to instinct.

Maybe someone in this world can learn to break through under the oppression 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 had an extra layer of identity in the dark, and he had also received training from his father, but that wasn't enough for him to maintain his emotionless face in this situation.

And at the moment when he fell into the water, he vaguely saw the corpse tied with stones at the bottom of the water, it was Thompson... This made the young man feel a cold despair in his heart.

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

This is something he learned from his father, "The more dangerous it is, the less you can let go of the weapon in your hand."

The cold blade gave him the last ounce of confidence in this desperate situation. With difficulty, he slid the dagger that belonged to Thompson into the rope on his wrist, stood it up, and cut the rope on his wrist with difficulty. The side saw blade sliced ​​through his skin, the pain... the bleeding pain made him want to open his mouth and scream, but couldn't!

In this case, opening his mouth is tantamount to suicide, he can only grit his teeth to admit the pain of tearing the skin, when he feels the last breath of air in his lungs is about to be squeezed out, when he feels the heaviness in his chest When there was nothing to add, the rope was finally cut.

A hope of survival exploded in Kevin's eyes. He frantically swung his hands, and the rope became looser and looser. Finally, his hands were free. He moved his wrists and cut off the rope hanging from his body. Then frantically swam towards the sky, looking up from the dark bottom, revealing a pale light.

It was an escape, a ray of hope.

"puff"

The water splashed, and Kevin slapped the water in embarrassment, breathing heavily. He raised his head and looked at the top of his head. The guy with the monkey mask was leaning on the railing with his hands, and there was still a flickering firework on his mouth. He waved at him like an old friend he hadn't seen in years, but it was this bastard who just pushed him off.

hell! This difficult madman! Why hasn't he left yet!

"Did you know? In that situation, only those who are not overwhelmed by the inner fear can survive. When drowning, most people die from that kind of uncontrollable panic. In fact, as long as they are slightly Calm down, the hope of surviving is actually great, although your performance is very bad, but there is no doubt that you are an excellent young man."

Saber looked at Kevin who was coming up the steps wet all over. He had taken off the monkey mask on his face and looked at him completely, but Kevin looked at this eloquent bastard, and lying on the bed. At his feet, Ed barely regained his sanity, and an uncontrollable anger exploded in Kevin's heart. With a howl, he swung the dagger in his hand and rushed towards Saibo.

He was taller than Sieber, but seeing the exhausted young man's pounce, Sable shook his head with his mouth curled up, and didn't move at all. When the short knife was about to touch his body, his body slightly One side, while dodging the weapon, punched Kevin in the abdomen.

The young man's eyes widened at this moment, and then his legs softened, his anger was completely extinguished by the pain rising from his body, and he knelt on the ground with his stomach in his arms.

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

Saibo squatted down, took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, stuffed it into Kevin's mouth, and lit him on fire. He tried to persuade, "Look, the grievance between us is over, you want to kill me, Then I punished you guys, it’s over, let’s talk about what you’re going to do next, shall we?”

"What?"

Kevin hugged his stomach and collapsed on the ground. He looked at Seber, the pain just now was still spreading in his body, and he once again realized the other side of this guy, violent...very violent.

"I mean, you leaked the secret, didn't you? You said they would punish you, what are you and your brother going to do? Escape? Kill at the neck? Or find a way to survive?"

The young man breathed subconsciously, and finally inhaled a puff of smoke, which made him cough non-stop. He took the cigarette off his mouth and put it far away, but he had to admit that what Saibo said was right, now The biggest problem facing him and Ed is how to escape the pursuit of the Shadow Warrior Alliance.

They are just little people, and the upper-level can solve them with just a few fingers, but the little people also want to live.

"It's none of your business! Damn it, can we go?"

Kevin didn't want to have any contact with Saibo, and until now, he didn't think that Saibo would let them go, so he held the short knife tightly, but he found regretfully that this thing didn't seem to be able to protect him .

Facing the young man's anger, Saibo made a regretful expression, he stood up, patted the dust that didn't exist on his pants, then shook his hands,

"Okay, you guys go away, but for the problem just now, I actually have a small suggestion, if you feel that there is no way out, why not come to me, you see, we are facing the same dilemma, we have to Help each other, understand? You know where I live, right?"

After Saibo said that they could go, Kevin looked at him suspiciously. After seeing that Saibo had no intention of doing anything, he gritted his teeth, walked over and cut the rope on Ed's body, carrying His brother moved away from here step by step, until he walked out of 20 Kevin, he looked back, and Seber was still standing there, not intending to kill them at all.

"Isn't he afraid that I will go back and inform you?"

Everything that happened tonight made the young man's head a little confused, so he simply stopped thinking about these things. Since the other party didn't intend to kill them, this is the best result, isn't it?

As for the troubles of the Shadow Warrior... Let's wait for Ed to recover. Thinking of this, Kevin also felt a burst of despair. He is too weak, so weak that even self-protection is a problem. He was even a little envious of Saibo, if he could easily kill one and capture two under the siege of three people, even in the face of those killers, he would have a little confidence.

Ten minutes later, Kevin, who was out of breath, put Ed, who couldn't even speak, on the side of the road. He sat there and planned to take a rest. However, in the middle of the night, the roar of the car sounded from behind them. Soon, The two bright lights made the young man raise his palms to block his eyes, and then he heard a click, the old but well-maintained pickup truck stopped in front of his eyes, and the window was rolled down , Saibo, wearing sunglasses, waved at him,

"Come on, brother, this place is far away from Narrow Island, and you need a ride by the way you look."

"What the hell do you want to do?"

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

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

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

Saibo cursed, he knocked on the car door, and emphasized his tone, "Yes, the previous things are over, but I need your help now, I don't know where that crazy asylum is, you won't refuse me Bar?"

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

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

Hearing this question, Saibo frowned,

"Well, that's a good question, but I think it will convince you."

He put his left hand on the car window, holding a gleaming silver pistol there. After seeing that thing, all of Kevin's anger was suppressed, and he became dejected. In the end, he carried Ed on his back and sat on the old pickup truck. Under the darkness, the well-maintained car roared again and drove all the way in the direction of Narrow Island. go.

At the same time, above the filthy streets of Narrow Island, a black shadow was moving back and forth between the roofs without a sound, its vigorous movements were like a wild beast hunting in the dark, its precision , quickly, without a single pause.

It was a guy dressed like a black bat. He jumped off the edge of the roof, and the black cloak quietly opened behind him, helping him glide to his destination. It was an inconspicuous building. But according to the news he got from the recently unlucky Sheriff Forlas, this is one of Falconi's strongholds on Narrow Island.

Not only Cyber, "Batman" is also very interested in the raw materials that Falconi transported to Narrow Island many times. After interrupting the transaction at the pier last time and sending Falconi to prison, recently He came out several times in a few nights, beat more than 10 dangerous guys half to death, tied them up and threw them at the back door of the Gotham Police Station.

The experience he once had made Batman hate crime very much. 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 his heart!

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

Yes, he would, the first time he stole in order not to starve to death, Batman felt like he had lost the ability to judge right from wrong, as he experienced more than once while wandering around the Far East, in The dread that precedes the choice between sin and death.

He would steal because of hunger, he would steal warehouses with other thieves he didn't know, just in exchange for food for the next day, and the thrill after committing a crime, it took him 6 years to fully understand The grotesque world of the criminal, he even forgot his original intention during that bad time, he was even one step away from being lost in the end!

But there was a force supporting him that made him never be one of them! The parents who had died before his eyes represented the fears of the past. During that last year of arduous training, he armed himself with firm will, great strength, and skilled martial arts. After killing Khan Araghul, After being the leader of the Shadow Warrior Alliance, he was finally reborn from the ashes in the melting of fear!

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

Batman stood on the roof of the narrow island like hell and muttered to himself. He looked down at those people who were forced to do not-so-just jobs for their livelihood. They were the bottom of Gotham, and they lived in the slums He will sympathize with them, but when they violate the bottom line of his heart, he will punish them mercilessly.

Use fear, use violence, make yourself something more terrible than crime, a symbol, just like the person who appeared in front of him, his best teacher in the Shadow Warrior League said,

"The apparent keepers of order are easily demoralized for self-gratification, and even they end up being unrighteous hypocrites, but if you can go beyond yourself and dedicate yourself to a belief, if anyone Nothing can stop you, and you become...something eternal! A symbol, and beyond that symbol!"

Batman moved his hands, he was afraid of the power surging in his body, but when he found a way to vent his inner anger, which he chose by himself, he found a path that would keep him from being lost in revenge and power. The benchmark of the world, a line of defense that blocks everything!

The figure, which was almost integrated with the darkness, opened its arms and fell down, like a cross falling from the edge. The moment it 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 any more, himself!
