"Hi," Weiwei greeted the other party naturally, "Do you know how to get under the arena, Captain?"

Jason: “You know him well?”

"First time seeing you."

Jason: “?” Why were you so confident when I first met you?

In the dark curtain, dots of light of various colors lit up one after another. They were slimes. Jason knew this. There was even a weird "Slime Research Association" in Gotham City. They spent every day in the strange circus. In their words, these little creatures even had the potential to become "demon kings". I don't know how they could tell that.

Then, the entire starry sky pressed down, and these usually cute looking guys floated around the two people, as if all the light was gathered here, and the external light seemed to be sucked away. The white goat hid itself in the vague darkness, but people surrounded by this kind of "fairy tale" might not think it was a good thing. Perhaps it was because, as soon as they came into contact with creatures like slimes, they would turn into animals imagined by humans, and no one had the opportunity to take a close look at their appearance. Now the two intruders had the opportunity.

The slime in front of me is like a cell, with a slightly darker core wrapped in a translucent body. But if you look closely, it is not a core at all.

It's an eyeball floating inside.

Now all eyes were looking in the direction of the two humans.

The man said coldly: "It seems that before we go underground to deal with the killer, we have to deal with these inhumans first."

In addition to the goat leader, there were also knee-high bunny waiters, slender red fox announcers, and sturdy-looking brown bear guards around them... These inhuman guys had been hiding somewhere before, as if they had grown out of the seats in the circus. However, Weiwei was still looking at the "Slime". She said in a tone of realization, "That's right, the pets in the pet training game don't have the impact of real games, so you just need to connect the perspective."

Jason: “?” What the hell are you talking about?

“Well,” she pondered, “it’s like a semi-holographic game for the audience. After all, the map is pretty good, a little better than VR…”

The goat seemed to smile, but a goat's face looked like a smile no matter how you looked at it. He answered Weiwei's original question in a bass voice: "I know how to get under the arena. There is a passage underneath."

"Come with me."

Jason paused, he turned off the night vision function, the surroundings were already too bright, he scanned and quickly found the commonality of these animals besides the human figure. They all had scars on their bodies, although they were covered up, but like the red fox, his fur hid a knife wound from the neck to the inside of the clothes.

Weiwei was the first to catch up with the goat leader: "You guys are quite popular. Are you interested in setting up a few more circuses in other parts of the city?"

"We won't stay in this city forever," the goat said with a grin, "and you know there's only one circus."

Weiwei sighed.

She discovered, of course, that the circus could not be upgraded like the cabin, and that the ship would only come once.

Jason walked behind them. The other animals did not catch up, but just stared at them. He turned his head and looked back -

As they walked, all the sunken "slimes" floated behind them like a tail, leaving a long, shining multi-colored light band. If he didn't think about the nature of these things, he thought the picture was romantic enough.

They were taken to the backstage of the circus, and Weiwei noticed a sign standing there. Those who ranked in the top ten in the training match could register. It was now the early morning of the third day, but the top ten from the previous two days had changed a lot - Damian's pseudonym was prominently listed. She wondered how he found the time to come and compete.

It was dark under the arena. After lifting the bottom mat, one could see the entrance to a basement. There was a fishy smell coming from the entrance. This place once belonged to a fisherman, but after the dock was built, his house was flattened, and this basement was not filled in, but just a cover was placed on top. Jason walked over and quickly found something wrong with one of the walls - the thickness and sound were wrong.

There was obviously something behind this wall. He clicked his tongue lightly. Obviously, Weiwei did not lie to him.

He blew a hole in the wall. Weiwei wanted to grab a hammer, but she didn't even have time -

She glanced back before following.

The floating slime emitted a faint light, illuminating the goat leader waiting outside, as well as the other animals who had arrived at some point in time. She turned around and went in.

But Vivi didn't notice that after she left, the animals behind her slowly lowered their heads and bent their bodies. After waiting for a few minutes, they stood up again and disappeared one by one, leaving only the goat leader alone.

The slimes' lights went out one by one, and then there was total darkness, and nothing could be seen.

…

Batcave.

"The police took away the killer. The killer was wearing the same clothes as the one who attacked me last time. They used freezing to kill him. Obviously, this was not a killer, but an organization. They have a fixed name and the same attack method, Robin... Robin, Robin!"

"Ah... Bruce," Tim rubbed his eyes, "Sorry, I'm a little tired lately."

"Go take a rest," Bruce patted the boy on the shoulder, "You've been absent-minded these past two days."

Tim smiled at him. "It's okay, B. Um... by the way, how's the investigation going on Jason?"

"I'm not sure," said the man known as Batman. "I'm rarely unsure, but now that I think about it, I almost thought the boy in the maze was an illusion... The cookies can make an adult look like a child. We can't even be sure if Jack is eight or eighty."

"But there is no body in Jason's tomb," Tim looked at him worriedly, "even if it was an illusion, the illusion does not change the fact that there is no body in the tomb."

But neither of them asked the question——

Surveillance can indeed be avoided, but there are eyes that cannot be avoided in Gotan City, the eyes of the gargoyles.

If they enlist the help of the gargoyle, Vivi, they might soon be able to track down the missing boy.

Bruce didn't do that because he still had doubts. Think about it, what did they do when they resurrected Superman, and why did Jason resurrect? The other party was just an ordinary vigilante before his death. His resurrected son always made him think about other aspects, such as people who can also be resurrected in this city.

Regardless, he'll continue investigating, Batman style.

As for Tim, maybe he would have proposed to find Weiwei and then find the truth smoothly, but after the previous trip to the cemetery, doubts arose in his heart, and the doubts stopped him in his tracks.

——He is the little bird most like Bruce, with similar detective thinking and similar desire for control, so he will give trust on the surface, but will hold back secretly. It's not that he doesn't trust, but he is prepared to use the second plan.

Previously, Tim believed that even if Mr. C had problems, Vivi herself was innocent, so he did not want to use the second plan.

He didn't want to...really.

Tim smiled at Bruce and decided to go back and catch up on some sleep before 2 a.m.

After he left, Bruce sat in front of the Batcomputer, was silent for a while, and began to crack. The picture on the screen changed rapidly. Ten minutes later, the first photo popped up -

It was the photo of the girl’s body lying in the sewer of Gotan College. The light shone in, but the beauty was dead.

The second photo was taken inside the East End Cathedral. The wood carving of the girl is lifelike, and every detail of her hair can be seen. She is lying on the table as if she is really asleep, but her entire body is carved out of wood.

The reading line almost came to the end, and other photos belonging to Tim were displayed on the screen. Bruce leaned back in his seat and watched silently -

This series of photos appears to have been taken on an overcast day.

Just like the day Bruce took Alfred to dig up Jason's coffin.

An ordinary nameless tombstone, and in the uncovered wet soil, there lies an ordinary, narrow, small coffin.

Then in the next photo, the coffin was opened, and a corner of a black human-shaped body bag was opened, revealing the curled-up figure of a girl - it was the body of a girl, but it was as if time had stopped, and she still looked the same as when she had just died.

The cause of her death was obvious, her neck was broken at an exaggerated angle...a normal person would not survive such a fatal injury.

As a detective with sufficient experience, Bruce was able to deduce what happened when he saw the photo.

She clenched her fingers, as if she knew the enemy was coming. Judging from the angle of her head, the murderer must have pressed her from behind. Her eyes were slightly upwards, as if she was looking at something, perhaps for help, or perhaps looking for other ways to escape, but it was obvious that she did not succeed in escaping.

Her brown hair was spread out, and no emotion could be seen in her green pupils. In the next photo, the girl's hair was combed and her eyes were closed.

Looks like fallen asleep.

Bruce looked at it silently, looking at the face of Vivi White in the photo, then he tapped the keyboard and deleted his browsing traces.

When Bruce first became Batman, he was alone without Robin. He would sometimes cry in his sleep for the people he failed to save. To him, if he had the ability to help them but let them die because of his mistakes, then these people died because of him.

So he has to keep working hard and not make any mistakes. He uses the identity of Bruce to support children and women and create job opportunities. He uses the identity of Batman to save everyone he can. But he knows that what he does is never enough.

He thought that Gotam was getting better, and he also saw that Gotam was getting better. The city was changing, from the inside to the outside, from the infrastructure to the people... It was like as long as the game players worked hard enough, the game would always have a happy ending.

But in the virtual world, players only need to spend energy and time. In a game transformed from the real world, what does the ignorant "player" need to pay? The girl has a perfunctory stigma like "VV", has no past, and wholeheartedly believes in the goals instilled in her by others. What exactly does she have to pay when she uses those magical powers... Or, as Dr. Strange sees it, what can she bring to the mastermind behind the scenes?

…

underground.

Walking to the end of the rugged passage behind the wall, you can enter the abandoned old sewer, which is made of granite and is integrated with the overall architectural style of Gotan City. The smell there is not very good, but the entrance to other places is sealed. Jason loaded the new bullets provided by the frozen man, tried the feel of the gun, and grabbed his gun with his other hand.

——Since the enemy is not dead, he does not need to hold back.

Vivi poked her head out from behind him. The hooded cloak she was wearing was actually a magician's suit, but she used the characteristics of the suit to use "magic" to change the clothes into this shape. Vivi had already defeated the first three magic spells that were bound to fail.

There are three forks at the end of the passage. On one of them is written "13" in blood, which has been blurred by metal oxidation.

In the darkness, dozens of silver knives flew out, and the target was clearly Weiwei who was walking behind.

"Vivi White," a voice came from the darkness, as if it had been waiting there for a long time, "the Owl Court sentences you to death."

I was careless, Weiwei thought, why did you let the adult men next to you go and choose to attack me, a weak game player?
