Chapter 158 Published



It’s actually not difficult to solve this problem.

At the beginning of the Long Night of Silence, the Scarecrow, who was transformed into an ink man by "shadow", was imprisoned in the Rose of the Sun Knight. After Vivi removed the effect of the Rose, the Scarecrow was released, and then shrunk to the size of an ant like the others, and was thrown into the miniature city by her.

Therefore, this means that system-produced items can defeat system-produced items——

That is, the "rules" of both sides can suppress each other to a certain extent. Weiwei guessed that there should be a default rule level. When using the "Shrink by Three Seconds" card, the rule level is that its rules suppress all rules, including gold cards, and this is just a gray iron card, so this suppression has nothing to do with the card level.

She thought of her gold coin mall.

The Gold Mall will refresh duplicate goods as well as new items, but most of them are related to city construction, including basic facilities, environmental improvement facilities, work tools, people's daily necessities... and so on.

She pulled out a storage box, which had the function of [holding twice as much space as the items] and [being difficult to destroy].

Then, she used the palm-sized box, picked up the little man next to the tree with tweezers, and threw it in.

Weiwei and Jason looked at each other. They were both inside the cell. She took the box and walked out of the miniature city.

——The little man in the box did not return to the "city".

Weiwei smiled brilliantly, and at this moment, Jason suddenly had a bad feeling.

"...Does the warden's job include doing such delicate work?" Jason squeezed the tweezers until they creaked. He squatted awkwardly, his eyes sweeping over the dark city, and black air seemed to be coming out of his head.

"Pick out Two-Face for me. Yes, I can use him..." Weiwei squatted beside him and gave instructions. "Scarecrow, too. Put him in solitary confinement."

When you say solitary confinement, do you mean putting them in a box individually?

Jason felt like he was picking vegetables out of a lunch box, and he was sad to find that no one else could do this job except himself, because no one else knew that there was a prison here.

——The so-called warden in charge of the prison does not mean that the warden has to do the work of the entire prison alone, right?

"Can't you just let a few people out first?" He hid his temptation in his angry question.

The girl next to him sighed: "There's nothing we can do. We have to follow the rules."

"What rules?" Jason said. "Rules set by the one who gave you your power?"

The girl glanced at him and said, "Of course... but sometimes you can find loopholes in the rules."

Jason didn't comment. He said, "This warden's job is a big hassle."

He stared at the city in front of him: "I should at least know who I'm working for, right? And what is the authority of the warden... What you said about 'the entire prison is in your hands' is too broad. Do you know what will happen if this place is exposed? Where do you think I can recruit people? After being exposed, have you made any contingency plans?"

"Working for the mayor of South Hinckley," the girl blurted out the first topic, "Contingency plan? Hahaha, this sounds more like something Batman would say. He always makes a contingency plan--"

Jason paused, suppressing his sudden irritation. He did not show any change in expression. He heard Weiwei continue, "Okay, I know why you asked me that. Compared to science, magic is still not that trustworthy."

But Weiwei couldn't tell them that in her eyes, magic and science were equivalent. Whether it was a "law" or a "theorem", it was just a piece of code to her, so magic and science were equally reliable, and the most reliable was her system.

Alas, the NPCs look pitiful and adorable as they explore themselves and strive to find the truth of the world.

She said, "Guess how I know who you are?"

She asked herself and answered, "Because you agreed to be hired. Language is also a kind of contract. The moment you agreed, everything in your past was revealed to me."

Jason understood what she meant. He said sarcastically, "Thank you for teaching me not to make promises to others easily, even verbally—"

"This contract can also bind me. It's a kind of rule." Weiwei squatted in front of him and interrupted him. "If you don't believe me, just make another contract."

Her forest green eyes were filled with a smile: "I understand you are testing me, you, all of you, like to do this, but I can't make any promises, because when I first came to this world, I was just an unknown person with nothing. So, according to custom, equal exchange -"

"As the mayor, I give you all the authority of this prison. You must ensure that everything you do as the warden is for the betterment of Gotan. If either of us violates the contract, the most important thing in our hearts will be destroyed," the girl said, "You know what is truly right for this city, right?"

If Jason agrees to this condition.

He could not have killed someone "illegally" in Gotan.

However, if he is admitted to the police academy and becomes a police officer, and then kills the criminals reasonably during the pursuit, it doesn't matter.

As for other cities... Hey, what do other cities have to do with Weiwei?

"As for my most beloved thing," Weiwei pressed her chest and said something that most children would not say after they turned seven or eight, "I love Ge Tan. She is the most important to me—"

She will make sure that anyone who dares to destroy this city will suffer a bad end.

Jason was about to say something, but was choked by this reason.

He said unhappily, "I'll think about it."

Weiwei shrugged. "Anyway, your fingerprints, voiceprints, and pupils have all been recorded. Just keep working hard. That shrunken city won't last much longer."

After the girl left, silence returned to the prison. Due to the excellent sound insulation, not even the sound of birds could be heard. The silence was like throwing a person into the deep sea.

There were a bunch of storage boxes stacked in one corner of the room. When Weiwei took them out, her expression was nonchalant.

In fact, although Jason does not agree with the idea of ​​bats, he is not happy that his home is transformed by magic. Gotham should not be ruled by any dark forces. It is a city of Gotham people, and it should be changed by Gotham people to make it better. But he was frustrated to find that the girl and the power behind her did make the city better than he imagined, and it was not just by magic... because magic cannot change people's hearts, he can really see the light of "hope" in people's eyes.

...This is the real reason why he was so confused and even temporarily suspended his revenge plan.

"As the mayor... a game of words?" He was doing repetitive tasks while reviewing his previous conversation with Weiwei. "If I agree, you can resign at any time and the contract will naturally become invalid."

But Jason believed what Weiwei said, "My most important thing is my brother Tan."

Because at the moment when he wanted to refute Weiwei, he fell silent——

He couldn't say that what he loved most was Gotan... Even if he was willing to die for this city, for people like them, life was not the most important thing.

"Grayson should have recognized my motorcycle, so he doesn't believe in the idea of ​​'volunteers' at all." He stared at the struggling Two-Face with tweezers, and suddenly found it a little ridiculous. Jason snorted and threw Two-Face into a new box. "With the Batman's database, he will soon find out that I am the 'Red Hood' and then come here to look for me."

"The existence of this prison may not be able to hide it from my old man, but given his personality, he will not take the initiative to expose it. He will just install enough bat surveillance in the prison." Jason sneered in his heart, "If... I have to change my request."

He would not agree so easily. Since Weiwei said "equivalent exchange", let's talk about the terms of equal exchange.

Vivi left South Hinckley and teleported to the opposite side of the cathedral, then walked into Millie's room as if she knew the place well, opened the closet door, and then she heard a "cough cough" sound.

Millie was sitting opposite the desk, with a speechless look on her face: "Wait a moment——"

Weiwei: “Ah?”

Millie pulled out two tickets from the dictionary beside her: "Have you seen the movie? The Batman movie?"

Weiwei was full of questions: "...When was the Batman movie filmed?"

Millie smiled timidly and stretched out her tone, "Oh... I didn't say it in full. To be exact, it's 'Gargoyles vs. Gothic: The Battle to Save Gothic'. Isn't Batman the villain in it? I heard that they call it the Batman Movie."

Weiwei: “…That’s too much!”

It's clearly a gargoyle movie, or a movie with Cotton as the protagonist - "Cotton" appears twice in the title, so how did it become a Batman movie?

"It's a publicity issue," Millie handed the ticket to Weiwei, "Because Batman is more famous than the gargoyles, and there have been no movies related to Batman yet, and it's too difficult to get authorization, so he is a movie gimmick. Here, there's another ticket for Sheila. She's either at the circus or in the sewer recently. I couldn't find her when I went home several times."

Weiwei: "Hmm..." She subconsciously wanted to say -

"You mean you're busy?" Millie was no longer the timid secretary she had been at the beginning. She said, "No matter how busy you are, you can't spare two hours to watch a movie, right? Let's go and watch it."

"We're really too busy, so we can just sell the tickets..." She said in a hypocritical tone, "After all, the kids bought the tickets with their pocket money earned from queuing in the sewers, so we can still make some money by selling them at a discount."

"Hey!" Weiwei said helplessly, "I can buy a ticket."

"Well," Millie shrugged, "the shelter also received gifts from film and television companies. After all, the film's investors and our investors are both the Wayne Group."

She smiled with a successful teasing smile: "According to your time, the ticket is for 2am, and there will be fewer people - everyone has seen it, we can't miss only the two of you, right?"

Weiwei took the ticket and looked at the book Millie was reading. She was teaching herself nursing and child psychology. She would probably go to Colchester University to study when the cathedral was officially on track.

Weiwei felt mixed emotions. She put the ticket in the space package - as if it would be stolen if she didn't put it there, then she opened the closet and returned to Rose Manor.

"Today is already the 3rd, and the activity will end on the 7th," Weiwei muttered as she walked on the cobblestone road in the manor. "It's possible that no one will get the gold card underground until the 7th. After all, the probability is not high. But today the silver card is already 9/10, and someone has obtained the bound silver card..."

Weiwei hadn't met Mike yet and didn't know the specific situation, but it didn't prevent her from feeling a sense of urgency. Since she had let everyone participate in the event, it also meant that she had fairly distributed the opportunity to win rewards to other people.

"If it's a luck game..." She stopped and looked up at the Batman statue in the middle of the fountain. A transparent card appeared at her fingertips. "Then I can only cheat."

[Choose to copy [Rose Manor Blueprint] - Item [Fountain Statue] - Feature [Luck Amplifier]? ]

[If the player compresses the amplification time, the amplification effect can be enhanced. ]

[You get [Gold Item: Bat Tattoo (One-time)]]

[The golden bat tattoo on the back of the right hand can greatly enhance the user's luck after use, lasting for 3 seconds]

[After use, the props become invalid]

Maybe exchanging cards for temporary luck at this moment is not the best choice, but it is not a loss to exchange a one-time gold card for another gold card, because if you don't do this, the probability of getting the latter is too low.

After dealing with a bunch of unreliable partners and spending an afternoon underground, Vivi finally walked up to Aries for the second time.

Watching her teammates leave the goat hut one by one, she reached into the pocket provided by the goat and activated the tattoo effect.
