After Arkham Asylum was blown up by escaped inmates, the inmates were sent to Blackgate Prison and Arkham was rebuilt.

However, after the reconstruction, the mentally ill were sent back to Arkham from other hospitals, while the insane prisoners remained in Blackgate Prison.

This was actually no problem, because Blackgate Prison had opened a psychiatric ward for them, and in theory these prisoners were also imprisoned, but for Dean Quincy Sharp, it was a bit of a hassle.

Sharp has a little dream, which is to become the mayor of Gotham.

In Gotham, becoming a mayor requires the support of both voters and the council, but the latter is mostly invisible because not everyone is qualified to know about the Owl Court, and a mayor cannot change the situation in Gotham.

—That’s what they thought, until Anna Ellech came along.

Now, Gotham's Owl Court is overwhelmed by a chaotic transition of family power.

In the past few days, in addition to the existing mentally ill patients, Arkham Asylum received several special patients. Their families had only one request: "They need treatment and cannot be discharged temporarily. If this 'temporary' has a time limit, it would be best if it is forever." In other words, if these patients can live in Arkham forever, then they should not leave.

The overthrow of wealthy families and the fighting among relatives are nothing more than this.

But Dean Sharp thought about it and contacted the mayor.

He also had no choice because he was still under "observation". Under Hugo's hypnosis, Sharp originally wanted to release special criminals such as Xiao Chou and Bane. After waking up, Hugo, Xiao Chou, Black Mask and others were all missing. Although the disappearance could be concealed temporarily, it would not last long - so all the responsibility fell on Sharp's head.

However, Sharp really didn't know what was going on, and there was no evidence to prove that an ordinary person like him could suddenly take away all the criminals in an instant. However, as long as these missing persons were still missing, Sharp would still be in the observation period.

This made the warden angry and resentful. Sometimes when he walked in the insane asylum, he always felt that the prison guards he just passed by were actually pointing fingers at him. After a period of suspicion, his spirit weakened a lot. In order to prove himself, he used all means to find the missing criminal - he was more active than the GCPD, which helped him find some clues.

It is an extraordinary force that caused the criminal to disappear.

Just when Sharp wanted to continue his investigation, the asylum received a new batch of "mental patients" one after another. What they had in common was that they all came from wealthy families in Gotham, or had noble surnames and were important members of the family. They had a very important status before they went crazy.

Sharp: "...Mayor!?"

Perhaps because he did not receive much information, he compared the two incidents, and then used his own channels to investigate and found out that more than just these few people were involved in the accident. He realized that the two accidents were extremely similar, with clear targets, more than one victim, fast speed, and both were beneficial to the mayor himself.

At least the mayor's ambiguous attitude proves that this is tacitly approved by the mayor!

"That's right," he thought, "nothing in this city can be hidden from the mayor."

This is a vague intuition. The new mayor of Gotham took office temporarily after the previous mayor was murdered. She took office safely and did a better job than all the previous ones. She must have a huge power in her hands, allowing her to fight against the darkness of the world in Gotham and make this city safe.

...That must be a more powerful darkness.

In the early morning of that day, Sharp saw a corner of darkness.

Arkham Asylum received a huge number of "patients" at one time, with hundreds of people being sent to the asylum in batches in the early morning.

The identities of most of these people are unknown, but they can be found on the GCPD's wanted list. Before joining Black Mask's team, they were more or less decent people who committed murder and arson, but now they have developed various problems in advance.

The man who escorted these people here impatiently pushed back a cat's head that stuck out of his collar, ignored the "meow meow meow" sound, and said, "The psychiatric ward of Blackgate Prison can't accommodate so many people. The GCPD will definitely contact you next and ask the doctors in Arkham to do a mental examination."

Sharp knew it without him mentioning it, but his brows twitched and he subconsciously asked, "...Where is the black mask?"

Some of the people here he knew, some he didn't, but he could guess that many of them were Black Mask's men, collecting protection fees, killing people, and making bombs for him. There were also some he didn't know, but seeing the ugly little masks that fell out of their arms, how could Sharp not guess?

The missing people have returned, but what about Chou, Black Mask, Two-Face, Scarecrow...? Are they... dead?

The man waved his hands and ignored him.

When the other person disappeared, Sharp turned around twice and couldn't help but call the mayor again.

His call did not go directly to the mayor's cell phone, but was naturally transferred by the secretariat. The person who answered the call was also Sharp's acquaintance, Mr. Lincoln March.

…

A bronze card was floating in front of Weiwei's eyes. This was the bronze illusion card she had drawn before, which she used to preserve the appearance of the little bear.

Although this card is a one-time use and is limited to three days, Weiwei has the magic pattern for copying bronze cards, so all bronze cards can be copied infinitely.

But generally speaking, for the Batman, there is no difference between illusion and disguise. As long as you use the domino mask and learn some tricks to change your height and body shape - Vivi also learned them - you can achieve the effect of illusion.

Moreover, this bronze illusion card cannot change the size of an entity. That is, if Vivi disguises herself as a tall and thin ghost who is three to five meters tall, it does not mean that she is really three meters tall. After experiments, she confirmed that it was just a change in the refraction of light.

"But... that's not necessarily true for ghosts, because ghosts don't have physical bodies, right, Dent?"

The man in front of him slowly raised his head and squinted his eyes as if he was not used to the light. Half of his face was damaged by sulfuric acid, with flesh and bones exposed, looking extremely horrible, but the other half was intact, and one could still see the former demeanor of this "Knight of Light". A coin was sandwiched between him, and then the coin was thrown high into the air and landed back on the back of the two-faced man's hand.

He removed his other hand, with the side of the coin facing up being the bad side.

But Dante frowned and whispered, "It's good..."

Vivi thought that the rose would change Dante's cognition - it did change. After eating the rose, no matter what coin it was, whether it was the front or the back, the two-faced man only saw the good side, and he could not realize that something was wrong.

"Well," Weiwei shrugged, "Come on."

Harvey Dent looked at her for a moment before taking the apple.

——[Bitten Poison Apple]: Can maintain a state of suspended animation

After she falls, Vivi uses Undead on the corpse, and a ghost that looks exactly like Dante himself slowly emerges from it.

——【Ghost】: Transforms the newly dead into a ghost. You can talk to them but they cannot be touched and have no physical body.

The ghost in front of him looked at Weiwei again and tossed the coin in his hand. It was still the bad side, but in his eyes, it was the intact side.

Weiwei shrugged and used another card.

——【The Emperor’s New Clothes】: Maintains the disguised state through illusion, but does not change the essence.

The tall man in front of me shrank rapidly and then turned into a ragdoll cat.

The left half of the face is black, and the right half is white.

The ghost state is translucent, but it is not too obvious if you are not standing in the light. At first glance, the two-faced man is a real cat. The only problem is that this cat still maintains the human habit of walking upright.

Weiwei gently reminded: "Don't you think there's something wrong?"

The two-faced man... no, the two-faced cat looked at her silently, suddenly jumped forward, and then bumped into the wall. He was puzzled: "Why can't ghosts pass through walls?"

Weiwei: “?” How does she know? She has never been a ghost.

She bent down and tried, but found that she couldn't touch the two-faced cat at all - but when she took out the cardboard box, she found that the two-faced cat was actually trapped in the cardboard box.

Wow...you are such a shameless ghost.

Because the contract was drawn up with Two-Face through a dozen coin flips, this super villain is now the mayor's personal property...and why did Weiwei have to stack three cards to turn him into a ghost cat? It's because Two-Face's villain identity and openly hiring a criminal as a consultant will affect the mayor's reputation. Even with Rose's influence, Two-Face may not be controllable.

If she could sentence him to death, she would have done so long ago, but Two-Face is a prosecutor himself and knows the law far better than Weiwei does. It is difficult to send him to prison, let alone to lose his head. It is better to make use of him.

——Let Janus use his talents to send other criminals to prison and bring death penalty to Gotham.

It may be difficult, but it will happen sooner or later.

For safety reasons, Weiwei placed Two-Face's "corpse" on the bed in the cell, covered his head with a quilt, and then went to find Jason carrying the light cardboard box.

In the deepest part of the prison, opposite to Xiao Chou's cell, stood Jason Todd, who was tortured to death by Xiao Chou.

When Weiwei walked over, she found Jason holding up the glass with one hand, and the bullet hole on the glass was healing on its own. It was obvious that they had already had a "friendly exchange". She opened the system description and took another look -

This glass that can turn into mist seems to be some special material that can change its molecular structure and increase its recovery speed.

Weiwei: “?”

Isn't it magic? It's strange that the game system talks about science.

As she got closer, Jason and Xiao Chou noticed her.

Chou looks pretty good. All the other normal people were sent to Arkham, but he's still alive and kicking. Maybe this is "As long as I'm crazy, you can't torture me crazy." Chou stared at Weiwei as if he saw something interesting, and then he left Jason and said, "I've seen you."

"No," he raised a finger and shook it, "not you."

He shook his head nervously and grinned: "I've seen her."

Weiwei threw a bat dart and hit the button on the wall with the blunt end. Xiao Chou laughed, but his voice could not pass through the glass. The glass became completely soundproof. He put his forehead against the glass and hit it hard. Blood flowed down -

Then Xiao Chou drew a smiley face on the glass with blood.

Weiwei glanced at him.

She walked over and pressed another control button. Water streamed down both sides of the glass, cleaning it quickly and thoroughly.

That smiling face also disappeared.

Jason seemed to have reacted. He took a last look at Xiao Chou, then walked over to Weiwei with his hands in his pockets. He was not wearing a hood, and his forehead was wet with sweat. No one knew what he had done.

Weiwei: "Were you just doing desensitization therapy?"

"...I don't know," Jason paused before asking, "What did he mean by that?"

"How can I understand the strange thoughts of a mentally ill person?" Weiwei thought for a moment, "He might be trying to say that I have changed a lot."

She met Xiao Chou only once, and she was ambushed and killed in front of the cathedral.

For her, more than a month has passed, but for Xiao Chou, it was probably just "yesterday".

"By the way," Jason said without further questioning, "What's in the box?"

Weiwei: "It's a two-faced man!"

The morning light passed through the transparent glass, casting scattered rays of light, making this place not look like a prison at all. However, upon hearing this, the person next to me paused.

Jason: “?”
