[Comprehensive British and American] Chaoying Pet Shop

Batman: "You have a problem with him."

Joward was confused: "To whom?"

At this moment, they had just passed a sewer full of garbage and arrived at a relatively dry underground passage.Batman put Joward down.

He's still going fast because he has less than 10 minutes left.The system's map dutifully showed the range of 1000 meters underground, and according to the navigation situation, they were less than 500 meters away from their destination.

Joe Ward didn't expect the bat to talk to himself in this situation... er, schmooze?

Batman: "Bruce Wayne."

The people you chat with are completely different from the current situation.

Joward was still confused: "I have a problem with him..."

Batman: "Like."

Joward: ? ?

Joe Ward: "He... well, I shouldn't judge a stranger casually. It's just that my parents don't like him very much. Maybe he thinks he burns more money than Mr. Stark."

Batman: "..."

Batman stopped when he was about to reach his destination.He watched the front vigilantly like a cat, and stretched out one hand, which meant to stop Joward and also to protect him.

Joward restrained his words and deeds, and looked forward behind the wide cape of the big bat.

Then he took a breath.

Gotham's underground waterway is like an intricate underground palace.At the end of this short sewer, several closed underground spaces are connected.One of the underground spaces was full of children.

They are all in ragged clothes, and all of them are yellow and thin.The most frightening thing is that their mouths were sewn up with rough needles and threads, and the stitchers were very impatient, and the edges of the needle holes were all dried blood.

Batman: "—Stay here and don't move."

There was uncontrollable anger in his calm voice.Perhaps children are eternal reverse scales for Batman.

Joward remained obediently at the entrance to the subterranean space, hiding himself in the shadow of the emergency light source.The child closest to him was less than two meters away, his mouth was sewn shut with dense threads, and his eyes were dull.

They didn't react at all to the sudden appearance of Joe Ward and Batman.Just standing there numbly, as if waiting for something.

System: "Arrived at the destination. Mission success condition: rescue 35 underground orphans. Mission progress: 0/35."

Batman has jumped to the top of the underground space, and now he is wandering around to investigate.Joe Ward looked at the group of children, and tentatively asked softly, "Jomie?"

A few children nearby looked over blankly.

Joe Ward: "Anyone called Jomi?"

No one answered.

Joe Ward: "The one with My Little Pony?"

A child slowly pushed his way through the crowd and came towards him.

He didn't have any vigilance against strangers who suddenly appeared here.These Gotham kids, numb to what they've been through, don't care about a few more life blows.

Joward put the sunglasses in his pocket, put his fingers on the child's chin, and carefully examined Jomi's mouth.

The stitches on his mouth were very rough, and it is very likely that the prisoner did it in a state of mental instability.When the children needed to be fed, he roughly cut the threads.The thread holes in his mouth were stitched repeatedly and took on an ominous, infected color.

Joe Ward whispered: "I have to take you. Are all the kids here?"

He took out the mobile phone from his pocket and put it in the child's hand, indicating that he could type and communicate.

Qiao Mi looked at it for a while, then lowered his head and typed on his mobile phone: [It didn't work. ]

Joward was taken aback: "What do you mean useless?"

Jomi: [We were abandoned with the city.It's no use going anywhere. ]

Batman used his fastest speed to check every corner of the underground space.He needs to ensure that all the enemies here have been emptied in the little time left, leaving a safe retreat for Joward.

He found the ventriloquist—Arnold Wesker in another sewer connected to this space.

Just like the clown's famous saying: "It only takes one bad day, and the most rational person can become a lunatic"-in Gotham, villains like ventriloquists who are pushed to the brink of collapse can be seen everywhere.This 60-year-old ventriloquist is very old, he has achieved nothing, and he was over half a century old and was imprisoned unjustly. Finally, in suffering, he stepped into the most extreme abyss of schizophrenia: he gave birth to another personality of his own—— —Scarface.

His situation is different from that of the double-faced man.His main personality is really cowardly and useless, and is completely suppressed by his own cruel personality.Scarface is usually shown as a doll in his hand. Everyone thinks that the ventriloquist is manipulating the doll, but they don't know that it is Scarface who is manipulating the ventriloquist.

Batman had seen the poor little old man when he was Bruce Wayne.He knows the ventriloquist himself, he is easy to please, loves to be around children, and amuses them with his dolls and ventriloquism; if it weren't for that prison time, he would probably be so peaceful To end his life of doing nothing but being commemorated by the children.

Batman fought against him many times, but he didn't do anything to the ventriloquist Wesker himself, but let the scar-faced doll in his hand separate from him, and then sent him to psychiatric treatment.Even after Wesker was discharged from the hospital, he helped him find a job and let him return to society.

But even though the ventriloquist himself wants to return to a normal life track, the shadow in his spirit will not let him go.At the craziest time, he even put a sock on his hand to make the scar appear.

Now, he is dead.

He eventually died behind a closed iron door, which he blocked with his own body.

On the other side of the door are the group of children whose mouths were sewn shut.

Silently, Batman jumped down from the top wall and examined the ventriloquist's body with gloved hands.There was no trauma, he was just stopped by something that suddenly stopped all physiological functions.

The dark knight thought quietly.He looked at the iron door blocked by the corpse, and then at the dark sewer behind him.

There is something else going on here.

fatal.

At the last moment of his life, the ventriloquist finally succeeded in defeating his dark personality.As the Arnold Wesker who was willing to bring joy to the children, he used his last breath to block the iron gate and isolate the dangerous "thing" from the children.

Without hesitation, Batman quickly welded the iron door, turned around and ran in the direction of Joe Ward.

In that underground space, the children who had been standing there like zombies were now surrounding Joward in twos and threes.

A child held Joward's mobile phone in his hand, and an animation was playing on the screen of the mobile phone, and the other children slowly moved over, poking their heads out to peek.The little doctor took off his mask and sunglasses, and squatted among the children.He wraps his coat around a child's shoulders.The way the child looked at him coincided with the way he looked at Gordon back then.

Batman glanced at the time, he only had 2 minutes left.

He talked to Joward about the mission.He's effective scouting Gotham, but for a search-and-rescue mission like this, The Flash would be better suited than him.

He glanced at Joeward again.The little doctor listened to him very much, and told him to stand there and not move, so he really did not move the ground.It's just that his expression is much more shrunken than usual, and he looks back at the sewer behind him uneasily from time to time, as if he is afraid of a ghost suddenly appearing somewhere.

Batman regretted it a little.

He lied to Joe Ward that there was a ghost in the sewer, just because he was too lazy to argue with him about whether he couldn't get down and go.Looking at the other party's appearance now, Joward's fear of ghosts has indeed reached the level that can be classified as a mental illness.

Joward was still looking back at the sewer frequently, and felt a strong sense of oppression in front of him, and he didn't need to look to know who was coming.

While trembling, Joward said to him calmly:

"I just counted the children here, there are 32 in total, maybe I can follow Jomi to find the remaining 3 in a while..."

The second half of his voice was burnt out by the man's hot whisper.

The Gotham Knight bent slightly, and the cloak came down to Joward with his movements.The man's already hoarse voice was like hot lips touching the earlobe, and he saw his little boy's ears turn red instantly.

"I'll let Lightning take over later. Tell MK-200 to open the shield and stand still in it with the kids, understand?"

When he straightened up, the little doctor who was a head shorter than him, not only the ears, but the whole face was red.

As soon as his face became hot, even his pussy lips were steamed red, and the corners of his innocent drooping eyes were also red. There was a little water in his blue eyes, and he stared at the tall figure in front of him in shame and surprise. man.

This also made Batman realize the contrasting temperament of the other party: he usually looks at innocent people, but in this look, he is full of obsequiousness.

Baby Bruce finished flirting, and silently walked towards the little bat plane suspended not far away.

The system said that there can only be one assistant for an A-level task, but it didn't say that there can only be one from the beginning to the end.He asked Joward to test with a D-level task, and found two bugs in the rules:

As long as Chaoying with the idea of ​​"needing to help Joward" stays within 5000 meters of Joward, the system will not determine that Chaoying is in the "assisting" state; only between Chaoying, remote , One-way contact, and will not be judged as a foul.

That is to say, as it is now, he has completed the survey part of the mission and almost used up his time. He can hand over the lightning ball at a coordinate 5000 meters away, and then let the lightning ball come to support Joward.

The system will still determine that Joe Ward has only one assister, and no foul penalty will be imposed for this.

But this baton-like form of assistance has an Achilles' heel: Lightning and Superman are more convenient for speedsters, but if it's someone else's turn, the handover time will be relatively longer, and the time for Joward to stay in the dangerous zone alone , will also become longer.

In their team, there is still a lack of a character with long-distance teleportation ability.

Batman has just relayed all the information he has learned to the US team who stayed in the stronghold.Because he could only communicate in one direction, he talked to himself for a long time in front of the mini microphone.

Batman: "The next command is given to you, Captain."

Before turning back into the bat ball again, he took a moment to glance at the little doctor-and found that Joe Ward still had the same thunderous expression, stuck in place motionless.

Batman: ...that's fine too.At least he wouldn't think about ghosts now.
