[Zhongyingmei] It's not a slime!

After violently suppressing the clown's consciousness, Ruby took a look at the vacant apartment and thought it was not bad, so she planned to live in it temporarily.

She took off the blood-stained coat and threw it in the clothes basket at will, completely unaware that there was a tracker hanging on the clothes.

At the same time, Bruce had already ambushed near this apartment.

As Ruby said, his ability to conceal his breath is extremely strong, as if he is completely hidden in a bottomless shadow. If Ruby doesn't deliberately look for him, he won't be able to detect his existence at all.

So Bruce watched the clown take off his makeup, revealing his true face that almost no one had ever seen, and then he talked to himself like a genius in the mirror.

Looking at all this, Bruce was basically sure that the clown should have symptoms of split personality.

However, what surprised him that such an incarnation of chaos as the Joker would split into a personality that wasn't as destructive and aggressive?

He watched the clown wash his green hair until the color faded, and then dried it with a satisfied expression.Then he boiled hot water with an old kettle, and then leaned on the sofa to read the dusty magazines in the house.

He looks no different from the ordinary citizens of Gotham who live a serious life, and he even has a style.

After reading the book for a while, Ruby stood up to check whether the washing machine was still working.She took out her blood-stained coat from the clothes basket, checked whether there were any remaining items in the pocket, and accidentally touched two small hard things.

It feels a bit like a button.

Ruby took a closer look, and it turned out to be two small devices glued to the inconspicuous corners of the clothes.

"What's this?" she asked the system.

The system said: "It seems to be something used for positioning and tracking."

Ruby: ...

This is definitely not a symbol of friendship, one can imagine how unpopular Mr. Clown is.

Batman, who was hiding nearby, squinted his eyes, raised his binoculars, and saw two small trackers in Ruby's hand.

One was pasted by him.

Whose is the other one?

However, Ruby didn't care about being tracked at all. She even put the trackers aside and put them away, not intending to destroy them at all.

Then she threw all the clothes into the washing machine and was about to press the button when she was interrupted by a sharp knock on the door.

Ruby turned her head to look in the direction of the door, and pressed the button of the washing machine with some irritability.

Then she walked quickly to the door and opened it.

Before she could react, a group of big men dressed in black and covered their heads like robbers rushed in. The leader of the group directly pressed him to the ground, holding the gun in his hand firmly. her head.

"Hold on, don't move!" he yelled.

Ruby: ...?

She looked suspiciously at the man who put the gun on her head, and before she could say anything, she felt that many thugs ran past her, all with guns in their hands, surrounding herself in the center .

Then, she watched helplessly as a guy who looked as if he had just fished his head out of a black dye vat walked in, pacing with his hands behind his back, full of the self-confidence that only belonged to the boss.

Ruby glanced at his character panel.

【Roman Sionis (Level A)】

Bewitching degree: 60%

Fit: 0%

……

The big black man didn't even look at her, he paced impatiently and said to himself: "Are you really crazy? It's just a trivial matter of robbing a bank. How could you do this to me?" ? I managed to fish you out of Arkham, but I didn't let you be sent back by Batman for nothing!"

The more he talked, the more excited he became, the more angry he became, and he was almost yelling at the end.

Ruby: "?"

After thinking for a long time, she found out the possible identity of this person from her own head.

black mask?

Ruby glanced at where the tracker was placed.

Well, the source of one of the trackers is known, but what about the second?

She couldn't figure out the current situation, so she didn't speak at all. Anyway, this group of people couldn't hurt her, and she could use this opportunity to get a set of information or something.

"What the hell are you thinking? Is the business going to be done?!" The black mask roared, rushing over and grabbing the clown by the collar, as if he wanted to eat him alive, "clown!"

However, after he roared, the air suddenly became quiet.

The black mask and Ruby stared wide-eyed. Ruby saw a moment of bewilderment from the only white eye on that black face.

Black Mask: ...Wait, who is this?

The strange guy in front of him was wearing a white shirt, with short wet hair, and a pair of red eyes looked at him suspiciously.His eyes looked so innocent, full of doubts, like a pool of crystal clear lake water.

The image gap between this guy and the Joker is bigger than the image gap between Bruce Wayne and Batman.

After a short period of confusion, the black mask was furious and roared, "Where's the clown?!"

Ruby: "Uh, actually..."

Before she had time to speak, the extremely violent black mask interrupted her: "Shut up the fuck!"

He angrily walked to the clothes basket and saw the tracker that Ruby had just thrown aside.

"Damn it!" He couldn't help cursing, "Let him play tricks again!"

"Boss, what should we do?" asked the black masked man who put the gun on Ruby's head.

"What else can I do?! Let me find it!" The black mask was angry and anxious.

——You know, the clown is a double-edged sword.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't handle the super-strike and elusive Red Hood recently, and his funds and manpower were so depleted that he couldn't help it, he wouldn't have made such a bad move and asked the clown to help him solve the problem of the Red Hood and money.

Sure enough, the clown is just unreliable!

He had to find this guy quickly, lest he set himself up in reverse!

"Go!" he roared violently, and left without looking back.

No one looked at the clown standing aside, all the thugs hurriedly followed their boss out, and then slammed the door of the apartment.

……

Ruby watched the black mask leave, then happily took out the wallet that had just been slipped out of the black mask's pocket, counted out a few hundred dollar bills and stuffed them into her pocket.

System: "...I haven't learned anything else, but I'm getting more proficient in stealing."

"Ah, it feels so good to be rich," Ruby exclaimed.

System: "Why don't you just go and rob the richest man in Gotham? It just so happens that you two have an enmity, and it's justified."

Ruby: "...how can you encourage me to commit a crime?"

System: "...as if you stole someone's black mask's wallet and it's not a crime."

Ruby: "Okay, I have a showdown, actually because I can't beat him normally, thank you."

The fighting ability of the richest man in Gotham is simply terrifying, and it is impossible to tell that he is just an ordinary human being. Even in the case of superior strength and speed, Ruby is not completely sure that he can defeat him.

Unless she enters a fully possessed state.

But if the state of being fully possessed is on the news, it would be a bad idea to be discovered by Superman... This kind of unnecessary trouble can actually be completely avoided.

So Ruby's choice is still Gou.

hold on!As long as she works harder to accumulate energy, she will be completely liberated!

……

the other side.

Bruce looked at Ye Yi and said to him, "Go follow the black mask and find out his purpose."

Ye Yi raised his eyebrows: "Are you sure you can handle the clown alone?"

Bruce: "I've done it alone many times."

Ye Yi shrugged, and said in a relaxed tone, "Okay, if you have any questions, contact me in time."

After speaking, he took out the hook lock and disappeared under the gloomy sky of Gotham.

……

So, for the next two hours, Bruce followed the clown, who had obviously changed, by himself, watching him run around all the places to buy and eat on this street.

Yes, he was indeed looking for the purpose of observing this weird clown, but he was also on guard at any time, in case the clown suddenly exploded and hurt others.

There were two reasons why he didn't make a move to catch him right away.

The first reason is that everything about the clown is unclear now. If he makes a rash move, he will only scare the snake. Besides, if he really has a relatively mild personality, he may be able to make this personality take the initiative through psychotherapy.This is probably one of the best ways to suppress clowns with no side effects.

The second reason... The current clown's combat effectiveness is no longer comparable, not to mention the relatively poor melee skills, his strength and speed have been significantly improved.This ability definitely did not come out of thin air, he had to find out the reason.

however……

He only saw the clown sitting on a bench by the side of the road, slowly eating four small cakes one by one, until he slumped lazily on the bench with a sweet Taste burp.

Bruce silently remembered that the mutated clown was fond of sweets.

It was completely dark by this time.

Just like every dangerous night in Gotham, the dark night is like icy sea water pouring down from the sky, wrapped in a damp, rotten, and stale smell, and there seems to be the sound of the dark tide in my ears, soft and slippery , as if some huge monster was hiding in the shadows, looking down at the city sunk in darkness, devouring all the light that might appear.

Ruby glanced at the Joker's current status bar.

【Clown (S-rank)】

Bewitching degree: 0%

Fit: 53%

……

The compatibility before 60% has always been the easiest to increase, as long as it is in the possessed state, it will automatically increase, and after 60%, some special conditions are required, whether it is actual combat or mutual recognition, or even the host's psychology Problems may become important factors that limit the increase in fit.

Ruby no longer expects to get all the energy from these vicious criminals. Her goal from the beginning is to get to 60%. Once the goal is reached, she will take this guy to surrender.

While thinking about it, she took out the latest newspaper she just bought, sat on the bench, and read it by the street lamp.

"The clown robbed the bank and killed a staff member. The police and Batman rushed to the scene in time to control the damage..." Ruby whispered the title of the headline on the front page.

Ruby couldn't help slandering: What is this writing... It's obvious that I am in control of the situation, if I didn't press the remote control, you still have headaches.

As she thought about it, she stuffed the last bite of the small cake into her mouth and glanced at her remaining energy.

Energy: 6250

Just as she was secretly calculating how long this energy would keep her in human form, she suddenly heard heavy and chaotic footsteps not far away, which sounded like they were coming towards her.

Ruby raised her head and looked in the direction of the voice.

—Looks like a few drunk strong men?

With a few sips of wine bottles in their hands, they staggered towards her, and before they got to her, they cursed and shouted: "Hey! That little boy over there! If you are sensible, hurry up!" , hiccup, hurry up and pay me!"

Ruby chewed the small cake in her mouth, stretched out her finger and pointed at herself, expressing her doubts with her eyes.

No, she is so hated?How many times is this already today?Are you guys so hospitable in Gotham?

"It refers to your mother, hurry up and pay!" The head of the strong man rushed up, and the tail of an empty wine bottle hit the back of the bench, and glass shards fell everywhere.

Holding a wine bottle that could already be called a weapon, he pointed at the man in front of him who looked harmless to humans and animals, had soft eyes, and could even be called beautiful, and said with a breath of alcohol, "Hurry up! Otherwise..."

His drunken eyes stayed on Ruby's face for two seconds, there seemed to be a moment of blankness, and then he said, "Otherwise we will deal with you."

Ruby was puzzled: "...What do you mean I have been dealt with?"

System: "This is not a question for a child to ask! You can either run away, pay, or get ready to fight."

Ruby, who is ridiculed as a child every day: "...Or, let this group of rubbish people whose demagoguery rate soar to fame be crawled for me!"

Bruce, who was hiding in the dark, squeezed his bat dart tightly, ready to rescue those drunks who didn't know what to do.

However, at this moment, Ruby saw an almost dazzling light on the narrow sidewalk behind these strong men.

What followed was the roar of a motorcycle engine, under the dark and thick Gotham night sky, which was almost quiet, like the cry of a bird of prey.

Ruby's eyes were a little uncomfortable from the glare of the light, and she narrowed her eyes.Those drunk men turned their backs to the lights of the motorcycle, and turned their heads to see which one had no quality.

However, they couldn't see the person sitting on the motorcycle clearly, the other party had already galloped in front of them, and with a clean and elegant movement, the tail of the motorcycle flicked vigorously, directly throwing a few strong people who wanted to rob Ruby. Han Du was knocked out.

Ruby watched the drunks pile up in a pile like an arhat, swallowed the cake, and looked up at the man on the motorcycle who stopped in front of her.

The wind he whipped up almost instantly dissipated the thick and intractable coldness and cold current in the air.

【Jason Todd (Class S)】

Bewitching degree: 50%

Fit: 0%

……

He stopped in front of Ruby, his slender and strong legs kicked on the ground, and the metal buckles on his leather boots gleamed coldly under the street lamp.

His face was covered under a red hood, and his expression could not be seen clearly.

Then, Ruby heard his slightly juvenile voice:

"Wait a minute, you...have I seen you somewhere?"
