Chapter 109: Who is Berserker? ! ! !
Although Solomon Grundy's language function is almost useless, but fortunately his brain that is about to break down still remembers the previous route.He ran in front without making a sound, and soon brought Batman and Robin to the corresponding place.
"Monday...Monday..."
The thick finger pointed at the dark building, and he seemed to want to tell them something with an inarticulate voice, and became more and more anxious because he couldn't express it.
Batman raised his hand and patted his upper arm, beckoning the big man who was going crazy to calm down.He observed the location of the warehouse, matched it with the data stored in his brain, and quickly came to a conclusion.
"This cosmetics factory has something to do with Professor Pig Face, and some special materials for his puppet mask can only be obtained here." He explained to Robin in a low voice, and then looked up at Solomon Grundy, "Pig Face Professor... what did that man with the pig face mask do to you?"
"Monday... Born on Monday... Solomon Grundy was born on Monday..."
Solomon Grundy made an indistinct and painful sound, his thick hands desperately scratched his neck, as if he wanted to use this action to suppress the fragments of memories awakened by the "man with the pig face mask" .He even subconsciously made a retching motion, which made Batman frown suddenly.
"He poisoned your food?"
If so it makes sense.
thought Batman.
Solomon Grundy doesn't have much sanity, but he's definitely not an easy guy to subdue.This big zombie lived in Gotham's sewers most of the time, one of the Gotham nightmares that existed in his childhood, and a strange ghost story that lingered in the city.
Solomon Grundy has been able to exist in the dark side of Gotham for so many years, not only because he has an immortal body, but also because he is strong enough, or it should be said that he is too powerful.
Even Batman won't get much benefit in a close combat with this big guy, and if he is not careful, his life will be in danger.
So he knows very well how difficult it is to subdue this stupid-looking big man.
Thinking about Professor Pig Noodles and his men, they should have poisoned Solomon Grundy's food first, then subdued the big man, and then threw him on the street.
"... F... Fran..."
Another name emerged from Solomon Grandy's mouth.I don't know if someone taught him that, although the pronunciation is distorted, it is much smoother than when he said "HELP" with difficulty.This big zombie was obviously still hugging his stomach, and looked like he was shaking from the pain of poison and medicine, but when he mentioned this name, he showed a slightly sober look.
"Fran...help...help...Fran...Fran needs...help..."
He uttered this sentence with difficulty, a sentence that was almost impossible for his intellect.
"Fran...Fran needs help...Solomon Grundy was born on Monday...Monday..."
The big zombie whimpered like a beast, and if he had tears, he would be crying them now.He shook his shoulders, as if that would shake out what he really wanted to say.He raised his hand and pointed at the gate of the factory, his finger was shaking, his cloudy eyes stared at Batman desperately, as if he thought that this would make Batman understand what he meant.
And Batman, the world's number one detective at the time, also quickly realized it.
"There's a kid named Fran in there? A friend of yours?"
"Fran...Kenstein...Frankenstein..." Solomon Grundy nodded emphatically while reciting the name.
"Frankenstein?" Batman paused.
The name...is definitely not meaningless.
Considering the command spell on the back of Solomon Grundy's hand, if he is really the Master (master), then it can be inferred that Frankenstein is the Frankenstein he thinks—Mary Shelley The monster created in his novel "Frankenstein".
This work is regarded as the world's first science fiction novel. In the novel, Mary Shelley created such a monster-a scientist stole many dead bodies and stumps in order to create new life, and stitched them together. Together, they formed a tall experimental body. On a thunderstorm night, the monster came back to life. Because it was too terrifying, the scientist ran away in terror.
The monster, which has acquired human reason and intelligence, is not tolerated by the world because of its weird appearance and weird physique, and has been persecuted and discriminated against. Therefore, the monster hates the scientist who created it, and it has been chasing the scientist. Killed his younger brother, and indirectly killed his loyal maid.The monster is too lonely in the world, has been abandoned, hurt and hostile all the time, so it longs for a partner, and asks the scientist to let him create a fellow of the opposite sex who can spend the rest of his life with it, and let them live together in the wilderness away from the world superior.
The scientist originally agreed to the monster, but backtracked because he was afraid that the two monsters would breed more monsters.The angry monster has been chasing the scientist, killing his friend and his fiancée... So the scientist hunts down the monster in turn, following its tracks all the way to the North Pole.
If it was that Frankenstein...
The vigilance index in Batman's heart has increased by dozens of percentage points, but his expression remains calm.
——Even that Frankenstein shouldn't suffer at the hands of Professor Pigface.
Compared with this man-made demon, a guy who was forced to become a monster by the world, a pure human being like Professor Pig Face is more like a demon and a monster.
Even if you add up all the crimes of Frankenstein in the book and add Solomon Grundy's crimes, even if you multiply it by ten times, you can't compare with Professor Pigface.
At times like this, Batman feels a little absurd.
Logically, he should be the one protecting humanity from Frankenstein and Solomon Grundy.But now, he wants to protect two monsters, Frankenstein and Solomon Grundy, from humans.
Monsters wandering on the edge of madness and evil also appear innocent and pitiful when facing cunning and vicious humans like Professor Pigface.
The line between humans and demons is always so blurred, especially in a place like Gotham.
There is no need for the induction of demons, the erosion of evil spirits, human beings are already capable of committing any devilish crimes.Even real monsters have to bow their heads and admit that they are far inferior to humans at such times.
How ironic.He couldn't help thinking that.
However, Batman made a promise to Solomon Grundy anyway.
"We'll bring her back."
he whispered.Under the analysis of night vision and thermal imagers, Batman quickly determined the situation inside the house.
"Sneak in first." He ordered.
……
……
……
Professor Pig Noodles is of course human.
He has a very normal human name, Laszlo Valentine, and also has a background that can almost be called a privilege. He has a high IQ and was once a talented chemist who has made a lot of achievements.No matter how you look at it, he should be a normal and healthy human being.
But he has some diabolical addictions.
Professor Pigface likes blood, likes torturing others, and likes turning others into his puppets.
What he especially liked was to mutilate the faces of young girls with corrosive drugs, put red-haired puppet masks on them, and turn them into his own puppet dolls.
He used his chemical genius to create drugs to control others.
Professor Pig's puppet dolls are all under his control. Under his orders, they can hunt other victims, and they can also attack Batman and Robin like crazy, even if their bones are broken. stop.As long as their bodies can move, they will always be Professor Pigface's puppets.
Whether those puppet dolls will cry and struggle with it, because the drugs have destroyed their brains, so no one knows.
But one thing is very clear.
——Even if Professor Pig's victims were rescued, their lives would have been ruined forever.
Don't say that they recovered as if nothing had happened, it's better to say that they were even taken away from the opportunity to continue to live a crippled but ordinary life.
The puppet mask cannot be removed.
That strange and ugly mask, that monstrous face, that abnormal red hair, will be firmly attached to their faces, and they will never be separated from them.
Professor Zhumian’s puppet mask method needs to destroy the original face first. When the strong corrosive medicine is covered on their face, their original face and hair have been dissolved, and then the ugly mask will be destroyed. It merges with their faces and grows firmly on their faces. If you want to cut off the mask, you will become a faceless person who is uglier than without the mask.
Not only would they lose their faces, but they would also lose their arms, legs, and even more skin.
Professor Pig Noodles replaced their original skin with rough skin like pigskin.
If Ada was here, she would immediately think of the horror story recorded in "Zi Bu Yu".
In that story, someone corroded the skin of a child with medicine, and then covered him with the fresh skin of a dog. The "dog" sings and writes in exchange for money.
A child so grown up cannot become a human being.Even if he is rescued, he can only live as a dog in the strange eyes of others—even worse than a dog.
At the end of the story, the child who was transformed into a dog starved himself to death.
And the victims of Professor Pig Noodles will only have a similar ending.
In this way, they were transformed into monsters that could only depend on him to survive.Even if they were rescued, their lives lost the possibility of maintaining even superficial normality.
No one will not cast strange eyes on their strange appearance.They can never forget what they have lost.
They can only live in pain, or die cowardly.
And Professor Pig Noodles will not feel even the slightest bit of guilt about this.
Not only will he not feel guilty, he also intends to find some newer prey.
The girl in front of him was his new prey.
What a wonderful creation.
Professor Pig Noodles couldn't help being amazed.
This girl is so strange, just from the appearance, it can be seen that she is not a human being. The part that used to be the ears is replaced by a strange metal device. Judging from the appearance of the device, it is quite similar to a huge screw. One couldn't help but wonder if those metal joints were going all the way into her brain.Her forehead is also decorated with sharp metal needles, like unicorn horns, and also like a device to attract lightning.
The feet were even more special, he couldn't tell for a moment, was she simply wearing a pair of iron boots, or were the feet themselves made of metal exoskeletons?
The rust-red forehead hair hangs down, covering her eyes, but she can still see the beautiful outline of the girl.
Like a person, but not a person.
Professor Pig Noodle is very curious about such a girl.
It took a lot of effort to catch this violent monster.
Because she's always in the dark sewers of Gotham with that big zombie -- Solomon Grundy -- and it's hard to catch her.
Professor Pigface manages to overdose Solomon Grundy's diet and bring down the big zombie.If you ask him, he doesn't know what's going on with that guy, but he put enough poison to kill ten elephants before bringing him down.Then, Professor Pigface threatens Solomon Grundy's life and coerces the girl to leave with him.
He was really interested in this girl.
Frankenstein, a monster made of corpses, if the legend is true, then how she came back to life is very worthy of his attention.
If you can master the technology to create new life...
Professor Pig Noodles clenched his fists quite excitedly.
As long as you can master that technology, no matter if it's a puppet doll, a puppet army, or a puppet product... don't you have as many as you want?
Pleasant thoughts surged in the heart of the cruel murderer.
This prevented him from rushing to corrode the girl's face with acid and turn her into a new puppet doll like he did with other poor girls who fell into his hands.
It's not too late to do this after everything has been researched.Anyway, as long as Solomon Grundy is still in his hands, the girl can only be obedient.
He once saw how these two monsters got along.
The little monster held the hand of the big monster, showing a pure and subtle smile.And the big monster took care of her no matter what, protecting her with those thick arms, holding her hand carefully.
It was the same even when he was captured.
Solomon Grundy struggled under the double torment of strong electric current and drugs, and roared and roared inhumanely. He kept trying to stand up and stretched out his hand to her desperately, as if he could protect her by doing so.
Until he was completely fainted by the electric current, he still stubbornly stretched out his hand in that direction.
Professor Pig Noodles is very good at playing tricks on people's hearts.
Since there was an undeniably genuine affection between those two monsters, he could take advantage of it.
But routine patrols marred that expectation.
"Damn it!" growled the man in the pig's face mask, causing the long blood-stained apron in front of him to tremble. "That damned monster is gone! Bastard! You can't even see Solomon Grundy!" live?!"
The hole in the wall seemed to be mocking Professor Pig-faced, flashing a cold luster under the moonlight.
"Go check!"
He gritted his teeth and ordered to his opponent.
"Solomon Grundy's mind is absolutely impossible to escape from this place without alarming anyone! Check it out for me now! I want to know who let him go!!! After I know, I will definitely let That guy regrets being born in this world!!!”
"You don't have that chance."
A deep and hoarse voice came from the top of the head, and the pig-faced professor suddenly raised his head, just in time to meet Batman's heavy blow from the ceiling!
"Well--!!!"
Professor Pig Noodle staggered and almost fell down on the spot.
However, Batman didn't give him any time to respond, he launched a series of fierce attacks mercilessly. If it wasn't for the fact that Professor Pig Noodle was already very skilled and dodged a few fatal blows, he might have died within a minute. Knocked down by Batman on the spot.
After finally finding a gap of a second, Professor Zhu Nian slammed down the remote control hidden in his pocket.
"Let my dolls play with you, Bat!" he growled.
In the next second, the girls with red hair and strange faces rushed forward!
Each of them has extraordinary strange power, regardless of whether they are injured or not, the attack effectively entangles Batman's hands and feet. In the kind of strength that seems to strangle a man's bones, even Batman Can't help showing a painful look.
"Well--"
Batman swallowed the sentence, struggled to break free from the girl who was holding his arm, and pressed a button on the armor with his finger.
In an instant, the electric current flowing through the whole body made the unconscious girls groan miserably. The dolls let go of their hands physiologically and fell heavily to the ground.
Luckily Lucius had only recently modified his armor.
This thought flashed through his mind quickly.
"...Where is the person you took away?"
Batman's oppressive tall body approached Professor Pig, who gritted his teeth and was about to turn around and run away.
However, what moved faster than Batman was the tall monster that rushed into the room.
"Solomon Grundy was born on a Monday!!!"
The big zombie smashed into the wall in an instant, and knocked out the pig-faced professor who couldn't react in time. The next second, as if he recognized his enemy, Solomon Grundy roared and slammed at the pig-faced professor. rushed over!
Amidst the bang bang bang bang of the human body hitting the floor, Batman raised his head quite speechlessly, and exchanged a glance with Robin who walked out with a girl with rusty red hair.
It has basically been confirmed that Frankenstein is Berserker's Batman: "..."
——Which of these two is Berserker? !
The author has something to say:
In fact, there are two versions of Solomon Grundy who can speak and who can't.
I prefer the non-speaking setting.From the manga "The Long Halloween".
I really hate Professor Pig Noodles, he can't help but remind me of the story of "Singing Dog" in Yuan Mei's "Zi Bu Yu", it really made my hair stand on end.
The full text is as follows:
In Changsha City, there are two people leading a dog, which is slightly larger than ordinary dogs, with two front toes, longer than dog toes and claws, hind feet like a bear, with a tail and small size, ears and noses like human beings, not like a dog, but all over the body. Then dog hair also.Can make human speech and sing all kinds of ditties, all in accordance with the rhythm.The spectators are like a block, vying for money for a song, and there is a lot of noise from all over the world.
The county magistrate Jinggong met him by chance and ordered him to lead him back. He entrusted Mrs. Yi Tai to watch him and gave him a generous gift.At the end of the day, the dog was ordered to enter the inner yamen, and when interrogated, Gu Quan said: "Are you a human, a dog?"
Confrontation: "I don't know myself as a dog."
Said: "how to be together?"
He said to him, "I don't know myself either."
Inquiring about what the two of them had practiced, he said: "In the day I would take me out to the market, and in the evening I would put it in a bucket. Don't judge what he did. One day, because the rain had not come out, he fed me on the boat and got The barrel, I saw two people opening the box, there are dozens of wooden figures in the box, whose eyes, hands, and feet can all move automatically, and an old man is lying under the boat plank, whether he is alive or dead, I don't know."
Jinggong arrested two people, Ju (ju, flat voice), but at first they refused to admit it. Xuanming burned iron needles and pierced Guikui acupoint, and interrogated them to death. The skin is completely peeled off, and the dog hair is used to burn ashes and apply medicine on it, and the medicine is taken orally to heal the sore, and the body grows dog hair and the tail protrudes, just like a dog. This method will not make a living. If it becomes a dog, it will be fine. Profit for life, but don't know how to kill children without limit, so you will become a dog."
Asked the purpose of the wooden man, he said: "If you get a child, you can choose your own wooden man. If you get a lame, blind, or broken limb, you can think of it like this. Let the beggar ask for money to fatten his stump."
That is to say, he led his servants to join his boat, got the old man's skin under the boat, split his back, and used grass as the core.Asked what's the use, he said: "The skin of the elderly over ninety is the most difficult to get. If you get it and dry it, it will be crumbs and bullets, and the human soul will come to serve. It has been searched for decades, and it has just been obtained. And if the skin is wet, if it doesn't break into crumbs, it will be exposed. This is heaven, heaven! I just want to die quickly."
Duke Jing dragged him to the market, committed his crimes and died.Dogs are also starved to death.
