June 3rd, early morning.

If it were the former East Gotham, there would not be many shops still open at this time, and few people would walk alone on the street because they might encounter sudden robbers. If you are unlucky, a huge bat-shaped pattern will appear in the sky at this time, indicating that Batman will appear and crimes will happen around you.

But today is different. Two consecutive days of activities have made the East District and the Pier District the most crowded places. There is no shortage of people who know how to do business everywhere. Therefore, there are small magic shows on the streets, some people set up stalls to wholesale plush toys and hoops, and some people sell snacks and flowers to tourists. If the city management department had not imposed certain restrictions and reviews on these people, the situation would probably be chaotic.

Fortunately, there is a gargoyle almost every 100 meters, so no one with any intention would dare to do so as long as they turn their heads - not to mention that just opposite the Iceberg Construction Company stands a huge colorful street tree about 30 meters high.

I don't know what the tourists were thinking. There were many wishing postcards hanging on the branches of this tree near the ground. A magician performing magic nearby suddenly had an idea and started a new business. For example, he let obedient pigeons carry the postcards to higher branches for tourists. But -

"The dolls are no good, the dolls are really no good...especially this Batman doll, he's so fat!"

"How is he fat?" the customer opposite him said, "He's just stronger! That's all. This shows that my doll is very authentic..."

But his pigeon couldn't get such a big doll up there, unless someone could use magic!

The street magician retreated in defeat and said, "Why don't you just buy a Batman balloon?"

During the event, the Iceberg Construction Company across the street was open all night, and other shops were also running around the clock. Naturally, they wanted to make a lot of money while they could. Some tourists even began to waver in their hearts because of the warm attitude and hospitality of the people of Gotan. Maybe Gotan is not as bad as the rumors say? For example, the tourists stayed in this city for such a long time and did not encounter robbery or thieves once.

Amid the music, sirens, and noisy conversations, the sound of glass breaking on the top floor of Iceberg Construction Company hardly attracted anyone's attention.

In the office.

Violin gasped and slid to the ground. He touched his waist and abdomen. Before he put his hands on them, he felt the cold air. He coughed twice and said to the person beside him: "Even if it's... to stop the bleeding, can you not point the gun at my stomach right away?"

"Sorry." The man holding the cryo gun said calmly, "...Do you want to go to the hospital?"

The violin tried to sit up and bared his teeth: "Don't do that yet, I can still hold on--"

There are too many people now. If the tourists below knew that right above their heads, a super killer was trying to kill the boss of Iceberg Construction Company, and if they called an ambulance, the murder would not be concealed and would definitely have a bad impact on the small city of Gotan.

Of course, there was a violin, Tal White, and an ice sculpture.

A closer look reveals that the ice sculpture is actually a woman wearing armor and an owl mask - a killer from the Claw.

If Violin knew that the number of Claw killers actually did not exceed fifty, and that he was the only ordinary person in history who survived being assassinated by two Claw assassins, I wonder if he would feel more fortunate.

But he doesn't want this blessing.

After being reminded by Weiwei to be careful of the other party's retaliation, Violin immediately did what a qualified Gotam citizen (in the mayor's opinion) would do and asked the police for help.

It is not easy to deal with the loan shark group. Even if he has evidence, if there is no special situation, such as the previous Penguin Man case and the South Hinckley case, there is a force behind the scenes, and it is just Violin's own reporting behavior, it will take more than a few days from filing the case to the opening of the trial.

Before the trial was officially confirmed, as long as both parties did not disclose the details to the media, the details of the case would not leak out. As soon as Violin reported the case and submitted the evidence, she encountered the killer that night.

Judging from the eyesight he has developed after working under the Penguin for so long, this killer, like the last time, should be able to fight Batman on equal terms.

However, by coincidence, the chief of the East District Police Station who came to protect him personally also fought the killer on equal terms, and then used the portable cryogun that the Cryoman had improved in prison to kill the opponent. Except for the fact that the opponent found the opportunity to be alone with the violin at the beginning and threw two knives at him, he stayed near the battle scene and was not hurt at all. He was even able to hold his wound and look for a medical kit - now the wound was also frozen by the cryogun.

Violin: “You…”

Gotham City is really a place of talented people, he thought. Guys who can beat Batman always show up in groups. He couldn't help but wonder if his three-legged cat's fighting ability lowered the average level of Gotham people.

The warm night wind blew in through the window, and the corner of the black clothes flashed by and then returned to the window.

It's Batman.

He stepped on the jutting stone fence outside the building, and the violin tensed for a moment, but Tarr glanced at him, raised his hand and saluted.

Batman looked at him for a moment, nodded, lifted his cape, and disappeared into the night sky again.

Violin: “…Hmm?”

“I mean, this is a matter for the police,” Tull said. “Batman should understand that.”

He took his violin and the Claw Killer and secretly got into the car from the back door. At this time, Weiwei was standing at the dock with a suitcase.

She is waiting for someone.

After realizing that Violin's behavior would lead to danger (the bullshit system reminded her so), and seeing that there were a lot of nocturnal owls in the data, Weiwei knew that there was a high probability that Claws would appear.

Coincidentally, she just got help from the couple of the Frozen Man. When the Frozen Man was in prison, he probably felt that life was full of hope and wanted to give his wife a better life. He actively invested in research and developed a portable freezing gun, but he still needed to carry a chemical pack with him for "charging".

After Weiwei got the anti-claw special attack weapon provided by the other party, she received a phone call.

The person on the other end of the phone said, "Do you remember that you owe me a request?"

Jason Todd took the blame for Vivi and blew up Mrs. Rothesay's secret room, which attracted the woman's attention and caused him to be hunted for a while. At that time, Vivi agreed to the other party that this was a fair deal and he could ask her for the debt at any time.

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone: "You know where Xiao Chou is, right? I want his location."

"It looks like you've been investigating for a long time," Weiwei said at the time, "but the location of the explosive chamber and Xiao Chou are not equivalent - don't worry, it's a fair trade, we can exchange two for one, come to the dock area to find me."

With the roar of the motorcycle, the person she was waiting for suddenly stopped the black motorcycle in front of her. He didn't wear the conspicuous red hood, but for concealment, he wore a motorcycle helmet. Jason looked up and down: "What are you wearing?"

Weiwei was not wearing her two iconic outfits. The temperature in Gotham in June seemed to have warmed up overnight. She changed into a summer outfit with dungarees, but added a hooded white cape with purple patterns embroidered underneath. Weiwei slightly lifted the hood to reveal a brown bear ear hairpin on her head, which was the same color as her hair.

"Get out of the car," she said. "You're making so much noise. We're going into the circus through the back door."

"Don't tell me your other request is to accompany the kids to the circus," Jason took the suitcase that Weiwei threw to him. He opened the box with one hand and took a look. He lowered his voice and said, "Freeze gun?"

"We are definitely not here for fun. Grab your weapons," she said. "We are going to fight a group of undead guys."

The circus is closed after midnight, but a bunch of derivative businesses have developed around this location. Since slime is tied to number tags, and number tags are tied to identities, people can't make money by queuing for others, but clever people in Gotan set up stalls around the circus selling jellyfish, children's toys, and small fireworks, such as firework sticks. Yesterday, BB even took the time to come and overturn a stall selling poisonous slime mud.

Some people were running around them holding fireworks. Weiwei looked around as if she was trying to locate the place.

Jason asked in confusion: "The immortal guys? You mean...these 'people' in the circus?"

He immediately thought of countless conspiracies, but Weiwei interrupted his thoughts with a sentence: "How is it possible? The entrance is right below the circus."

In the first main mission, the completion of the underground construction allowed Vivi to obtain an underground map, which did not include the locations of the court and the Claw. However, this actually meant that the channel map could be used to infer that the Claw's base was in a location that could not be seen on the map, thus narrowing the scope.

Although her undercover agent Winster could not contact the Claw Force, he could tell Vivi which people were from the court. Some of them had special positions. Vivi wrote down their regular routes to and from get off work, and began to wait after receiving the branch mission. Soon, she discovered something unusual -

One of them suddenly appeared in a strange circus, and... right in the middle of the circus's fighting arena, which was particularly abrupt.

This "sudden appearance" should not be teleportation. She imagined that the other party was walking in their own underground secret passage, and when he reached the exit, he found that the circus's beast arena was above the exit, so he could only retreat in silence. This means that the circus is located right above the entrance to the court of power.

Weiwei was originally going to handle it herself. After all, she didn't know the number of claws, so who knew if there would be any danger.

But Red Hood suddenly appeared, and this free labor was almost right next to him, and it would be a waste not to make use of him.

The two men avoided the direct light and climbed into the circus from the corner.

During this period, Weiwei also explained that there was a remaining killer force underground in the circus, and the killers were not dead but only frozen. After the righteous partner Night Watch found out, he decided to take weapons to subdue the killer.

Jason: "..." He decided not to pursue why this guy didn't tell the old bat about it. Apparently, both of them had their own agenda and were just taking what they needed.

"So you are my servant now?" said the girl.

"That's what you say," Jason said impatiently.

If it was Jason from a few years later, he would definitely not agree so perfunctorily without thinking deeply about what the other person said... And if it was Tim or Bruce who had suffered losses before, they would definitely know that they can't just agree to Vivi's words -

Words have power, Mr. Greenname.

Jason noticed that the girl paused and seemed to be able to see in the dark, so he pressed the mechanism on his hood to enable night vision.

Under the motorcycle helmet was his red hood, and under the red hood he was wearing a domino mask that changed his appearance. Even the old man couldn't recognize him at first glance. He looked in the direction of the girl's gaze.

Among the lonely and empty seats, stood an upright white goat.
