Chapter 85 Fearful Candy Halloween
"Do you know the boss?"
Jason narrowed his eyes suspiciously. He didn't trust Batman, but the current situation didn't allow him to think too much.
The big guy went berserk and needed treatment. Batman was much stronger than them; they couldn't beat him, nor could they subdue him while he was running away.
Batman doesn't seem to have done anything bad, and Jung Eun is no ordinary person either.
Jason had no choice but to take a gamble, hoping that Zheng En's connections were so extensive that even Batman knew him. Not comfortable entrusting the large man to Batman so easily, he got into the Batmobile.
He had prepared for the worst, so that even if something really happened, he could escape with the big guy.
Fortunately, he won his gamble.
When Jason finally met Zheng En, he was overjoyed, but he couldn't help but worry: could the boss really handle this?
Batman also wants to know the answer to this question.
He changed his mind and went along with it, sending the big guy to find Zheng En, partly to reassure the children, and partly to see if the other party had any solutions.
The other party showed him too many strange and bizarre things, whether it was a bamboo dragonfly that could form an anti-gravity field to make people fly, or a ghost mask that could make people's hearts tremble when worn, none of them were products that modern technology could produce.
However, to call it a magical creation is a far cry from the truth.
To produce an antidote using proper methods would take at least three or four days of research.
Even though he had specifically researched the origins of the Scarecrow, understood his previous studies, and obtained some samples of the Fear Toxin from the Gotham Police Department for in-depth study, the process of making the antidote could only be shortened to three or four hours at most.
The terror gas intercepted by the Gotham Police Department in the ruins of Arkham was only a preliminary version, and even its preservation had to be handled with extreme care. Meanwhile, Scarecrow had made some incredible progress, managing to add the toxin directly to candy.
If Jung Eun could come up with the appropriate antidote, the chaos tonight could at least be alleviated somewhat.
But Batman didn't expect that what Zheng En pulled out was a vacuum cleaner, and a vacuum cleaner that looked like a child's toy.
Does this thing actually work?
Batman couldn't help but wonder, but he had a good habit of observing rather than asking questions when faced with things he couldn't understand.
Then he saw Zheng En use a vacuum cleaner to suck up the fear gas from the big guy's body.
Is that correct?
He felt his worldview was being challenged, just like when Zatana used magic in front of him and the door to a new world slowly opened; the impact he felt then was exactly the same as now.
This doesn't mean Batman was particularly shocked or found it hard to accept; it's just that he was touched when he encountered something he had never experienced before. This feeling was fleeting, and he began to think about how to use or target this gadget, or about Jung Eun, who could pull it out at any time.
If the other party falls into depravity someday in the future.
Zheng En's explanation was not beyond Batman's expectations. When he saw the shape of the vacuum cleaner, he had a vague premonition. However, seeing the child who had been poisoned by the fear gas being sucked out of his body was still different.
"As for the principle behind it, it's probably just the children's whimsical ideas. After all, the props in children's works are just so illogical."
Were those props inspired by certain works? Or were they made based on props shown in those works?
According to the other party, it should be the former.
While it was great to be able to resolve the fear gas issue with Jung Eun, this method of vacuuming away the toxins couldn't be widely adopted in Gotham.
Leaving aside how to explain the origin and working principle of vacuum cleaners, if such a thing were actually brought out, its owner would definitely be attacked by the masses.
Toxins can be absorbed, but what about viruses? Bacteria?
Batman knows how easily humans can take advantage of others; viruses and bacteria can be absorbed, so what about AIDS?
What about cancer?
If he can produce such amazing props so easily, he must have more, right?
If something can cure diseases, does that mean it can prolong life? If something can prolong life, does that mean it can bring the dead back to life?
Since the props on Jung Eun's body cannot be exposed, Batman has to find another way.
The disturbance that occurred in the square has already been resolved by Zheng En, and the remaining police can handle it; there is no need for him to intervene.
The next step is to find the scarecrow and create the antidote.
The former needed more intelligence, so he had been setting up surveillance in various parts of Gotham these past few days, uploading the footage to the Batcave. Rather than wandering around aimlessly, returning to the Batcave to piece together the information and track down the Scarecrow was much more efficient.
Then comes the creation of the antidote.
Perhaps it would be a good decision to let Lucius analyze the problematic candy.
Batman briefly gathered his thoughts, got into the Batmobile to leave, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed several figures in the passenger seat.
One adult and two children are Zheng Enhe's two kids.
"Why aren't you going down?"
"You can't get a ride to the East District at this time."
Jung Eun looked at Batman earnestly, clasped her hands together, and said, "Please."
Jason mimicked Jung Eun, saying, "Please."
Batman: "—Just this once."
What would have taken a regular car over an hour, the Batmobile covered in less than half an hour. When Jason got out, he lingered for a couple of moments before helping the big guy into the alley.
Batman looked at Jung Eun, who was still sitting in the passenger seat.
Zheng En also looked at him.
"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Batman suspected that if he didn't speak, the other person would stare at him for a long time.
"I have a friend who's really good at making antidotes to fear gas," Jung Eun said without even moving an inch. "I think you might need his help."
New tasks have emerged; how can we afford to stand still?
[Mission: Fear, Candy, Halloween]
You knew something bad would happen on Halloween.
Although the infamous holiday killer didn't make an appearance, the scarecrow filled the void, even more perfectly than the former.
Fear is like honey, poured out during Halloween revelry.
The scarecrow served up a lavish feast, inviting everyone to taste the fear and chaos he had cooked.
You don't understand why a character who usually only occasionally ambushes Batman suddenly caused such a huge commotion; how did Scarecrow suddenly receive an epic buff?
But ultimately, for the sake of love and justice in Gotham, you decide to face the challenge head-on.
