Chapter 115 Published



Weiwei handcuffed Minister Pete to the railing and called Minister Hogg of the Security Department.

Next is the time for vigilante action. Vivi relied on the gargoyles to find the Peter Chris family in the tavern. The evil flower opened its eyes and stared at the ground, while the gargoyles were staring at the ground from above the city. Vivi's eyes were all over the ground and underground, which was perfect.

Pete talked about how he became suspicious of the other party's identity. To sum up, the characteristics of this woman are that she is very tall and has a strong aura. She did not leave any contact information or handwriting, so there would be no clues about the account that transferred money to Pete. However, Weiwei still contacted AI and sent a message, asking him to check it out.

This was an "internal" matter of the City Hall and there was no need for the Bat Department to get involved, and she remembered that Tim had been quite busy recently.

She summoned the gargoyles on Pete's street, and after finishing the preliminary preparations, she was about to climb over the wall with the Batman stand in one hand, when she caught a glimpse of a figure and remembered that she had forgotten someone.

The Batman sign was shaking in the wind and rain. Red Hood could no longer bear it: "...Where do you want to take him?"

With Jason's understanding of Batman, he didn't see anything wrong with this "stand" at first glance. Obviously, it was magic again.

This magic should change cognition, he thought after calming down. In the girl's hand, it was a stand, but in the eyes of others, it was that person, alive and well.

...This move would definitely catch the enemy off guard if used on the battlefield, so she won.

A stone gargoyle flew through the rain. It was a big one, taller than an adult even with its wings folded. Jason was so familiar with Gotham that he immediately recognized it as the gargoyle statue near Odisburg Park. It should have been squatting on a stone pier, staring at the children playing in the park.

After a while, another slightly smaller one flew over. This one looked like the decorative gargoyles on the sides of many buildings.

Weiwei placed the sign on the back of the big water monster, gestured twice, and then took out a long stick. She said to Jason: "This is what I want to do. I just found out... It's better to have Batman in this city. They are naturally afraid of him, even if 'he' doesn't speak at all."

Just like Pete, Batman just stood there and he was so scared that he confessed everything.

Between the urban legend that has been around in this city for over a decade and the vigilante who only appeared recently, any idiot knows who the criminals are more afraid of, but Batman is definitely not here because the gargoyles have taken his job.

Jason saw that the girl wanted to tie the "standee", which was Batman, to the back of the gargoyle.

He stared at the so-called stand and found that no matter how he looked at it, it seemed like he was seeing a real person, but this real person was being manipulated at will. Jason slowly walked over and touched the face of "Batman", and then he found that his hand had passed through the other's skin.

...This is a bit scary!

Finally, his fingertips finally touched the real object. He blinked and found that Weiwei was adjusting the expression of the "stand", [smile][stare][think][angry], and then [cry].

Jason: “…”

Forget about the first few, but the expressions that he would never see in his life kept appearing on the old man’s face, and he had become numb.

"The short stick you use for support is made of alloy," he heard himself say. "Is the human standee anti-electric?"

After a while, a simple supporting frame made of plastic and wood was completed. Weiwei pushed the signboard several times and found that it did not shake drastically due to the fixation of ropes, and a slight shake did not count.

So she said to the gargoyles, "Go."

The large gargoyle flapped its wings and flew up. In Weiwei's eyes, it looked like a simple sign, but in Jason's eyes...

The gargoyle flies upwards into the thunderstorm, Batman stands majestically on its back, his black cape fluttering, lightning illuminates the figures of man and beast, and they will complete the night patrol together - the bad guys will find that Batman will not take action, but will just stay on the gargoyle's back with one hand on his waist and stare at them coldly. The gargoyle is the one who actually takes action.

Great, tomorrow the surrounding store will start selling the Batman and Gargoyle combo set. He remembered that several years ago there was a capsule toy of Batman squatting on the head of Gargoyle, which could be disassembled and the cape could be taken off. Now it’s no different to stand on the back of the Gargoyle, right?

"The gargoyles will lead me to that woman," Weiwei said. "Nothing can escape their eyes. Do you want to come with me?"

"You work for the mayor?" Jason asked. "Why did you invite me, a criminal, instead of Batman's bird?"

"Because I work for the mayor," Vivi shrugged, "and you don't seem to mind that."

Inviting the guy in front of her would allow her to get free labor, and Weiwei felt that the gargoyles might not be able to beat him, so she would have to do it herself, which would be quite a fuss... and for the sake of the evaluation of the [city reputation] in a dozen hours, she would suppress all cases that would appear in the newspapers at the source.

I don’t know what this guy weighed, but he agreed.

Guided by one gargoyle after another, the two chased from the Odisburg District all the way to the Diamond District, and then to Gotham County.

If Gotham City is considered a modern metropolis, although there are many Gothic buildings, high-rise buildings are also lined up in rows, and the spires of modern glass and spire-style buildings shine equally brightly under the lights, but Gotham County is different.

In fact, Gotam County is completely different from Gotam City. Gotam City is an island city consisting of several large islands and scattered small islands. Gotam County is located on the land. Several famous bridges connect the island city with the inland. The power station of Gotam City is built here.

There were almost no tall buildings to be seen here. Under the heavy rain, the castle-like buildings looked eerie, and gargoyles flew over their heads, but not a single gargoyle had come from Gotam County.

This was different from what he had seen along the way. Even Jason on the motorcycle turned his head to look at Vivi - Vivi was riding a horse, a pony that could catch up with his motorcycle... Is this really a horse?

"When a magician who could make gargoyles fly first appeared in Gotham, the residents of Gotham County smashed the gargoyle statues," she reined in her horse, "but later they found it was useless. Even if they smashed the statues, gargoyles would still fly out of their backyards and the corners of their houses, so they sent all the statues into the city, and after that, no gargoyles flew out again."

Jason snorted in an ambiguous tone. "These houses are so old that I doubt there's any surveillance."

"Of course there are surveillance cameras on the street," Weiwei sighed, "I have already asked people to check the surveillance, but the woman changed her clothes halfway through."

She drove into the county and looked at the map in the system. She found that the distances between buildings were very wide. She thought that she couldn't see her neighbors at all if she stood by the window. Some people's homes even had lakes and forests - it seemed like a good place to retire.

"Monitor the mayor", "provide information", "bribe the logistics", and all of this was done before the mayor took office. Vivi knew that before Anna Alec went to Gotham from New York, and before the parliament determined that she was the right candidate, there must have been a buffer period. The director of logistics met the contact during this buffer period.

Weiwei's eyes fell on a building. On the map, the building was called "Rothesay House".

"Those guys in the council think that the mayor is just a puppet in name only, and her resume is nothing special, so no one would be wary of her from the beginning. But sometimes, this behavior is not necessarily 'warning'..."

She turned around and said, "I may have a suspect."

Mrs. Rothesay always went to bed early.

But tonight, she didn't fall asleep.

This lady's real name was Andrea Aleck, and she had a sister, Martha Aleck, but after Mrs. Rothesay married her husband, she became Andrea Rothesay, who outlived her short-lived husband and also sent her dissolute sister away.

Now she is alone.

Martha, her little Martina left her with only one support, her illegitimate child, Anna Elek.

Immersed in the grief of her sister's death, Mrs. Rothesay was sad for a long time. When she finally thought of Anna, she found that under the teachings of the Diamond family, the girl had become a disappointing fool. She was obsessed with getting her father's attention but never thought about her poor mother.

In fact, because she hated her identity as an illegitimate daughter, little Anna was unwilling to meet her aunt.

It was time to let little Anna return to Gothen. Mrs. Rothesay could not bear the fact that her only relative had become someone else's "illegitimate daughter". Fortunately, before Martina died, she gave her the surname Eric, so she would be the only heir of the Eric family and the heir of the Rothesay family. As for the relatives left by the lady's husband, those who were disobedient had of course died of illness with her husband, and those who were still alive were as obedient as sheep.

This is what power brings her.

Power can bring her everything, and she hopes little Anna can understand this too.

However, Anna's poor aunt discovered that the mayor of Gotan City was using the Owl Court while cooperating with others. Especially during this trial, she felt that something was getting out of control.

In the study, Mrs. Rothesay sent all the maids out and stared at the photo on the table, so angry that she couldn't sleep.

The sky was gradually turning white. Outside the study, the sleepy personal maid waited for her companion to come. She nodded to her roughly and returned to the maid's room tiredly.

Mrs. Rothesay must have personal maids around her. They are divided into several shifts, ready to serve this lady at all times. Fortunately, the lady's temper is not strange.

The maid who had already fallen asleep on the bed did not notice that her real colleague was knocked unconscious, tied up and stuffed under the bed. The person who came to take over was of similar height, but her shoulders were slightly broader than those of a normal girl.

The girl pretending to be a maid put her finger on the door. Many numbers flashed across her ordinary black-framed glasses, and she suddenly stopped moving.

Then, she walked to the window inconspicuously.

She saw someone jump down from the tree, and the leaves rustled, as if a sturdy cat had jumped down.

The sturdy cat wore a red hood, and a little later another man jumped down, his black cloak rising and falling, and the water pipe in his hand reflected silver light.

Weiwei could have used her title to sneak in, but it wouldn't be useful to her to sneak into such a large manor for a while. Compared with her stealth skills, those patrolling guys were no different from being blind.

However——

What is [Maid (in Robin's disguise)]?

Is the map bugged?
