American comic Gotham, the sheriff of Arkham

“They are brave…”

In a cemetery outside Gotham, Naomi, dressed in formal police uniform, stood below and watched Gordon perform his last task at the funeral and offer the final prayer for the fallen police officers.

"Mumu? Mumu?" Jerry, who was standing next to him, stretched out his hand and shook him twice, and only then did the dazed Miaomu react.

"What's wrong?" Miao Mu turned around and asked.

"Flowers are presented, it's our turn."

Jerry gestured with his hand, and the policemen around him lined up and threw the chrysanthemums in their hands onto the coffin.

The families of the fallen police officers wore black mourning clothes and cried silently while being supported. Naegi sighed, walked over and threw the flowers in his hand on the coffin.

Following the team, I walked outside, thinking about what happened to the clown after returning from the cannery.

Miaogi didn't sleep all night. He was so worried that his hair almost turned white. What was going on with that clown?

That guy is not Superman and does not have super powers, but he has a crazy brain and unparalleled execution ability. As long as he thinks of something or wants to do it, he will do it.

Coming back from the dead... This wasn't surprising, Naegi accepted it quickly and even came up with a reliable explanation.

The Pool of Lazarus!

There is a magical pool in the DC universe that has the effect of resurrection, and there is a Dionysus factor in the Joker's blood. Comparing the two, resurrection is not impossible.

Miaomu also confirmed the clown's body with his own eyes and asked Nygma to perform an autopsy. This morning, Miaomu handed the playing card to Nygma for investigation.

We will know the answer when we go back. If the Joker is really resurrected, then there is only one possibility: the body has been swapped!

The Lazarus Pool can resurrect people, but it also requires a carrier. Once the corpse is damaged and missing limbs, it will be disabled after resurrection, not to mention being burned to ashes.

So the only possibility is that the clown's body was replaced during the period when the autopsy was completed and the body was cremated.

Miaomu's mind is very quick and he has figured out almost everything. The only thing he is uncertain about is who resurrected the clown?

Assassins' League? The Lazarus Pool is their standard equipment, but it is not used very often, except when Jason was dug out by the Assassins' League and resurrected as Red Hood.

Only Nygma, the Riddler who had cancer, used his high intelligence to manipulate a group of villains and used the Lazarus Pool without anyone noticing.

In Naegi's memory, the dead Alfred also used the Lazarus Pool, which later became a veritable resurrection fountain.

Gotham also has a Lazarus Pool, which is under the control of the Court of Owls, but its purity is not high and needs to be combined with Amber to revive the dormant claws.

As Miaomu was thinking, he took a step forward and unknowingly left the group and wandered along the gravel path of the cemetery.

[Ding! Encounter with treasure - discover obtainable items. ]

The sudden sound in his mind startled Miaomu, and it took him a while to realize that he had discovered something.

How long has it been since the last time it rang?

Naegi had thought that there were no more treasures to be found in Gotham, and had forgotten about it in the back of his head, but this suddenly came up.

But this is a good thing!

Miaomu turned his head and looked around, searching carefully based on his inner feelings, and the worry in his heart disappeared.

Walking along the gravel road, Miaomu headed up the mountain. The cemetery here extended all the way to the mountain, and various tombstones were clearly visible.

When Miaomu walked under a big pine tree and looked at a tombstone stuck diagonally in the soil, he couldn't help but blink.

Finally, I closed my eyes and felt for a while before I was sure that the treasure I found this time was this tombstone.

The feeling was still very faint, Miaomu reached out and touched the tombstone. It was a special kind of stone, a bit like black granite, and its shape was a bit like a clock hanging on the wall. Most of it was buried in the soil.

And it's very strange that I didn't have the feeling of immediately knowing what a treasure was when I touched it before.

Miao Mu walked around the tombstone twice and reached out to dig underground. It had just snowed, so digging was not easy.

Grabbing a handful of soil, Miaomu stood up and looked around. He searched his arms but found nothing suitable for digging.

Miaomu simply took off his coat, covered the tombstone with it, and walked back along the way he came to find some useful tools.

------

"No...why should I dig here with you?"

Jerry, holding a shovel, complained as he shoveled the dirt, but his hands did not stop moving at all.

He dug a hole in the ground. Miaomu squatted beside the tombstone, looking at the hole dug by Jerry, and approached the tombstone little by little.

"Come on, because of you, the Mexican restaurant has banned us. I went to have a meal and the boss was in the kitchen with a kitchen knife, chopping on the chopping board. It was terrible!"

"Some time ago, when he saw us Arkham police officers going to have dinner, that old man stood at the door with a shotgun in his arms, looking at us like scum and gangsters. This is all your fault!"

"I...I...didn't we break up?"

Jerry frowned, with an expression of disbelief. He was just playing two girls at once, two more... not that serious, right?

"You might as well break up. Also, how do you flirt with girls? Give me some experience! Don't think I don't know that the two sisters in the Mexican restaurant rode the rail train towards you at night."

"Hehe..." Jerry grinned.

Miao Mu grabbed a clod of earth and threw it at the face of the smug fellow, scolding him with a smile: "Work!"

They both laughed. Although they no longer worked together, they trusted each other even more.

"But Mumu, this is a tombstone!" Jerry dug twice, looked at the unique tombstone, and couldn't help saying: "Is there retribution for digging this thing?"

"Fuck you, why weren't you so superstitious when you were picking up bodies in the homicide department?" Naegi said bluntly.

"This……"

"Stop talking nonsense and dig it! Even God can't stop us!"

Under Miao Mu's supervision, Jerry spat some saliva on his hands, grabbed the shovel, and started digging hard.

Jerry Caberson works in the Homicide Division of the Gotham Police Department and is known as Buffalo Boy. Not only is his muscular body great in bed, he can also do the workload of two people at once.

After digging more than ten times with the shovel, the appearance of the tombstone was completely revealed, just a stone floor clock.

It is also very delicate. Even though the soil on it has not been cleaned off, you can still see the patterns on it, the rotating dial, and a few exposed gears.

It looks like a piece from a modern art museum, all carved out of black stone.

"This is beautiful!" Jerry reached out and touched the numbers on the dial, as well as the two hour and minute hands, which were still moving.

Miaomu could have reached out to touch it, but before he could touch it, he immediately looked up at the sky. There were flashes of lightning in the sky. The weather was good today and the sun was out.

How... did it suddenly become like this?

A black lightning flashed in the sky, and Miaomu suddenly felt something was wrong, "Jerry, get out of the way!"

While shouting, Miaomu rushed over and pushed Jerry directly into the pit, and the two of them rolled into a ball in the pit.

The black lightning also fell from the sky and hit the tombstone floor clock below, and the soil surrounding it exploded instantly.

The pendulum below began to swing, black lightning flashed above, and the gears began to turn under the push of the lightning.

Immediately afterwards, a red lightning flashed past quickly, followed by a black lightning that landed on the tombstone grandfather clock.

As the red lightning entered, the minute hand began to move.

At the button between the hour and minute hands, a lightning mark flashed, then disappeared, and the lightning also disappeared.

There was only a swinging pendulum and gears starting to turn.

"Bah! You were not digging a tombstone, but you were struck by lightning?" Miaomu spat and climbed up from the ground covered in dust.

Turning around and looking at the floor clock that was already running, the look on Miaomu's face was no longer one of astonishment, but of disbelief.

"What the hell...what is this?"
