Chapter 168 Published



Jason obviously misunderstood something, but fortunately the Janus cat can still speak.

Weiwei opened the box and the cat jumped out, proving that it was not actually a handful of ashes.

——But a group of souls doesn’t seem to be very convincing.

The two-faced cat explained his origins to him. The good side of the two-faced man was easy to talk to, but Jason looked at him in a very strange way.

He coughed and said to Weiwei, "Excuse me, next time you put special food on my plate, give me a reminder."

Weiwei: "So Dante is in a dead body now, do you want to go check it out?"

As they turned the corner, Jason shrugged, raised his hand to block the sunlight that was coming through the glass, and said casually, "No, Two-Face's soul is here, why should I go see his body?"

Oh, Weiwei thought his reaction would be the same as Batman's. If Bats were here, he would never say that.

As if he had guessed what she was thinking, Jason said, "I don't believe in you, nor do I believe in the magic you bring, but it's not because of the magic, but because of the user——"

Magic is just power, like a gun, it can be traced back to its essence, a power in the hands of another.

"Don't I look like a good person?" Weiwei asked back.

Your attitude towards criminals is not good.

Of course, the first two generations of Robin were not fighting for the rights of criminals, but he was keenly aware of the unnaturalness in the girl's attitude. It would be better to say that Weiwei had clearly exposed this unnaturalness to him -

Criminals and ordinary people are equal in her eyes.

If they are judged equally and their value of use is estimated equally, then once... he means, once the guy who controls the girl's "cognition" changes her cognition, she can also treat good people with her original attitude.

Jason was sure Tim Drake saw that, which was why he thought Vivi—

Not human.

Because humans have biases, preferences and interests, and there is a difference between indoctrinated knowledge and real knowledge, even if it is not obvious.

"No one can stay the same forever," Jason glanced at Janus, "just like no one could have imagined that Harvey Dent would become Two-Face."

The two-faced cat snorted: "That's not very polite."

Jason ignored him: "Although I don't agree with the old man's stubbornness in not killing people, I recognize his prudence."

I don't know what he talked about with Xiao Chou, but when he mentioned Batman, his attitude became much more natural.

Weiwei was already used to the attitude of the Bat Family. She raised her head, ready to hear the same repetitive words again.

But Jason lowered his body to look at Weiwei at eye level—except that the two of them were sandwiched between the two of them—and pointed at his forehead and said, "Humans will die if they destroy their brains."

Then there's the throat. "Severing the aorta will result in death from blood loss."

Next is the chest. “The heart is the most dangerous and vulnerable place.”

Down below is the chest and abdomen. "The muscles protect this area, but if you lose some organs, you will still suffer..."

Weiwei blinked: "...Wait?"

"After soaking in the pool of the Assassin's League, my physical fitness has improved, but I am still basically an ordinary person." His pupils are blue when you look closely, but they are slightly green under the light. "As long as they aim at the vital points, no matter if it's Xiao Chou or a street thug, they can kill me."

He would never have said that when he was Robin, and even if he said it now, Jason didn't think he would die again, but he knew it was a theoretical possibility.

"Humans are such fragile creatures," he said hoarsely, seeing his face reflected in the girl's green eyes, "Are you human?"

He caught a flash of shock and confusion on the girl's face, but she quickly regained her composure and said, "...Of course I am!"

She tapped her head and said, "I just—"

"Oh," Jason interrupted her, "I've already told you my weaknesses. As allies, exchanging weaknesses is a sign of mutual respect."

"Like you," the girl said quickly. "Like you, but you know I can come back to life."

"So can I," Jason said. "We're even."

No, it wasn't. Vivi knew that Jason's "resurrection" was different from hers. He would really die because of those "weaknesses", but Vivi wouldn't.

More than one NPC told Weiwei that she was "abnormal", but she ignored it. Isn't it normal that NPCs can't understand players? Just like the characters in the animation can't understand the life of humans outside the animation, she thinks that the heroes' temptation, suspicion, and cooperation with her are just part of the game settings, just like the existence of villains like Xiao Chou, which is planned to make it difficult for players to achieve their goals.

Different interactions would be triggered according to the different personalities of the NPCs, which was not difficult at all with current technology, but at that moment just now, she almost thought that Jason was a real person - she was talking to a person.

He can think, can talk, and can die.

will also die.

Even though he had already died once.

"What does it feel like after death?" Weiwei asked as they walked.

"Why do you think I would know?" Jason asked. "I didn't feel anything. I just knew that death was very cold."

The two-faced cat looked around and found it very interesting.

But...isn't he the only one present who is truly dead and in the "afterlife" state?

Why don't you ask him?

Lincoln March put on his gear, leaped forward, and jumped into the lake.

Lincoln March was not his real name, and becoming the mayor's secretary was not his goal. Rather, he originally wanted to become the mayor.

Not as a normal candidate, but as Thomas Wayne Jr.

Just like his self-perception, his identity should have been a member of the Wayne family, Bruce's younger brother, but now, he has to hide his identity and serve as a deputy to an illegitimate daughter.

Lincoln continued to sink in the darkness, his eyes determined.

The water pressure had little effect on him, as Lincoln's body was also filled with electrum - the substance that brought the Talon killers back to life.

He is also a Claw, but his identity is special. He is not lying in that coffin, and there is no documentary record of him.

In Lincoln's mind, he was abandoned by his parents and left in an orphanage, and everything Bruce had should have been his.

If Bruce dies during his training, he will appear in the upper class of Gotham as the last heir of Wayne, and become the mayor of Gotham with the support of the Owl Court.

——Everything that Anna Elle and Bruce Wayne owned should have been his.

He sank deeper and could vaguely see the outline of buildings at the bottom of the lake.

The killer in Black Mask, the spy of Penguin Man, the riot in Arkham, the assassination of Owl... After experiencing all these, the mayor not only survived, but even seemed to become stronger.

Lincoln watched coldly as even the other claws became the mayor's weapons, and the upper echelons of Gotham were going crazy and stupid. The organization that cultivated Anna was almost destroyed by her, and he finally couldn't sit still anymore.

He could kill the mayor now, but before he figured out how the other party avoided all kinds of assassinations, he would just be exposed. However, during his undercover investigation, Lincoln discovered that the mayor had never ordered his men to kill anyone. Since Anna Elle decided to be a person who abides by the rules, he would use her rules to solve this matter.

There is still a year until the next mayoral election, but if a major malicious incident occurs, Anna, as mayor, will need to be held accountable for it.

She deserves it.

Lincoln finally reached his destination, the bottom of Park Lake, passing through the hole in the ground.

You can go to hell.

His feet touched down to the marble floor.

This is... an abandoned place.

This is the old city of Gotham. A flood swept it underground. Many years later, people built a new city above ground, but some buildings in this old city are still intact. As time passes and underground changes, water is drained from here and air is pumped in, allowing people to live normally in this dark world.

But why would anyone choose to become a resident of a forsaken place?

The people living on this land are abandoned just like the land itself.

Maybe it wasn't like this at first, but after the Owl Court discovered this place, they deliberately concealed the information of the dungeon, sorted out the dungeon personnel list, and adjusted the personnel structure here, making the dungeon a dark city belonging to the Owls.

Charon, the current ruler of the dungeon, rose to power thanks to the owl.

Lincoln decided to find Charon——

With Charon around, it is easy to incite the people in the dungeon. He is just a small pusher.

However, Lincoln is a Claw Assassin, and besides him, there are other Claw Assassins...who can avoid his eyes and ears.

Shortly after he left, William followed Lincoln's shadow silently, following the shadow of the building.

Two flowers were entwined around William's neck, and their blooming centers looked like pupils.

At the same time, Weiwei found a collar for the two-faced cat. The ordinary collar tied up the soul, which made him look more and more like a cat.

Vivi and Jason stand in front of Black Mask's cell.

They were discussing how to hand Black Mask over to the police in a reasonable manner - the South Hinckley case was related to Black Mask, and the information subsequently revealed by other prisoners was enough to extradite Black Mask to Kenya and be shot.

but--

"It's not a safe journey," Jason was sure, "and the trial won't be easy either."

Even if Black Mask leaves Gothan, his forces in other cities will come to rescue him. If they cannot rescue him, they will provide legal assistance. New Haven is still in chaos.

Rather, it was very rare for a city like Gotham to hold a celebration right after trying a major case. Strangely, Jason even felt a little proud at this moment.

Weiwei was also a little sad: "Yeah, I can't leave Ge Tan. It's such a pity that I can't see him being shot with my own eyes..."

Black Mask was the first Gotan criminal to be legally shot, but to Vivi, it was just a few sentences in the news reports.

She couldn't even watch the live broadcast!

Because the network in Gotan in the game cannot receive live broadcasts from cities outside -

Jason was speechless: "You can buy the TV station's screen recording and play it on loop for three days!"

After he said this, he still felt a bit dazed and unreal... It was as if they were discussing Black Mask's life or death in front of him. Would this evil man really die?

But the people around him were so sure of his attitude that he also thought along these lines.

"That's right," Weiwei nodded. The previous communication seemed to have turned on something. She didn't notice that her attitude towards Jason had become more frank. "Leave it to Batman."

"GCPD is used to Batman sending criminals. After all, he is Batman, he always has a reason, and he will definitely find the missing criminals," Weiwei waved her hand, "and Batman will definitely consider what we consider. Maybe he will go to Kenya in person."

Jason: “?” Is this how vigilantes are used in your eyes?

He opened his mouth, but found that he could not refute.

Not only will his old friends pay attention to this, they will also use Wayne's status and influence to push for the death penalty.

Black Mask was shot dead, and Bruce was probably the happiest one. Even though he had many opportunities to kill Black Mask, he said "no" to himself every time.

...So there is a high possibility that Batman will leave Gotham!

Jason raised an eyebrow.

Weiwei treats the vigilante as a tool. If you were in the same camp with her...

That was really cool!
