[Team status has been released]

Since the system said that Batman would pay for the antidote formula, Weiwei had nothing to worry about. She could see the police approaching on the map. Apparently Batman had contacted the police to take over the people in charge of Black Mask. It wouldn't be long before these people would be sent to Blackgate Prison. But she suddenly thought of something: "After Black Mask is arrested, how will his property be distributed?"

When it was the Penguin Man, the system would prompt Weiwei to take over the Penguin Man's business, but this time it didn't happen -

As long as he has money, Black Mask still has a chance to make a comeback.

The one who spoke was Robin, who seemed to be more familiar with this aspect: "Black Mask was born into the Sionis family. He has experience in running industries. His pharmaceutical factories, steel mills, banks, etc. were all handed over to other people to manage. Even though we know that these are all industries in the hands of Black Mask, we can't provide solid evidence, and these industries are still on the white list - unlike the Penguin Man, he surrendered and told everything."

"Because this zombie incident will cause panic, the Bat Club recommends that Commissioner Gordon file the case for drug trafficking. This charge alone is enough to send his men to jail."

But what he didn't say was that Black Mask had been a frequent visitor to Blackgate Prison for a long time and would always find a way to get out.

Instead, Weiwei comforted him: "Don't worry, Black Mask can't leave."

Apart from anything else, he is now locked in the room and cannot get out. Weiwei heard that Black Mask is a master of fighting. If the wall is broken now, maybe he can resist and cause trouble for the police.

Let’s lock him up for three days.

"Then I'll be leaving first." She raised her hand and looked up at the ceiling. The map showed that Batman was right above her. "The antidote formula can be sent to the official email address of Iceberg Construction Company."

She took a step back and disappeared in an instant.

Nightwing shrugged, and the next second, Batman smashed through the ceiling and fell down. His eldest son crossed his arms and said casually, "B, do you want to go see your old friend?"

Batman understood what he meant almost immediately: "What's wrong with Black Mask?"

"Nothing's wrong," Nightwing said, "I just can't get out."

The police came in quickly and took away the seven test subjects. Nightwing said sullenly, "It seems that in addition to drug trafficking, Black Mask will also be charged with human experimentation." But what's the point of Gotan not having the death penalty? They will never have awe.

It was impossible to let Black Mask stay in the room like this. When Nightwing and Batman mentioned that he "couldn't get out", he actually thought that he might not be unable to get out. The air wall was just the effect of Mr. C's magic. They broke the wall from the outside, but there was still a thin air wall blocking everything. However, after Batman used Nthorium, the air wall still did not disappear.

N metal can eliminate most magic and has a certain restraining effect on many magicians. Finally, Batman contacted Zatanna of the Justice League, who is a powerful magician.

The air wall was only about three centimeters thick, but even these three centimeters could not be broken through no matter what.

It is worth mentioning that the police needed to arrest Black Mask, and Sionis Steel also supported the wall-removal activity - after all, their big boss was still trapped inside. With the efforts of both parties, it took them a day to lift the entire house with a crane. At present, the house is located in the open space behind the steel plant.

Under the vibration caused by the lifting and the damage from both directions, the wall was broken and the three-centimeter air wall became more obvious.

This made Black Mask, who was in the room, very angry. There was a circle of policemen surrounding him, and some were looking at the busy workers, while he and his subordinates were being exhibited like monkeys. Some people couldn't help but cover their faces.

Nightwing squatted down and looked at a nail left in the door frame. The nail was exactly three centimeters long.

He jumped to where the ceiling had been, and felt himself standing on an invisible layer of ceiling. He quickly found another nail, and finally, he found nails on all six sides.

Black Mask also became anxious at this time. He asked Batman to drive everyone else away, and then he was willing to explain what Vivi did in the room.

"Six nails, right?" Nightwing said. "Are you ashamed to be watched like a monkey? Then you deserve to stay a little longer."

"Zatanna said that if Nthorium metal is also unaffected, there are two possibilities. This is actually another kind of science that humans cannot understand - just like Superman's Kryptonian technology, or this is some kind of magic at the rule level."

Either way, it means that Mr. C's threat has increased again.

Nightwing shrugged: "That's normal, I guess. The end of science is magic."

But how do they send Black Mask to prison? Are they going to put him and his 27 men in prison together? Are they going to set up 28 extra cells in the prison?

"The Human Rights Council will protest this," Batman said.

Nightwing stared at Black Mask's face: "Then I suggest they go and protest to Mr. C - if they can find him."

The two looked at each other, they both knew that the fastest way to remove the spell was to find Vivi, however, Nightwing didn't want to do that. Being treated like a monkey for two more days was worth it for Black Mask.

"Although air can circulate, they can't get water and food." After saying all this, Batman shot out the hook and disappeared into the city.

Nightwing moved his neck and guessed who Batman was going to find - Iceberg Construction and Installation Company.

This is not the first time Batman has visited the East Side, especially after the great changes in the East Side, he has been observing this place.

Iceberg Construction Company is also on his special attention list because the only connection Mr. C can currently confirm is between the company and Weiwei. As for the mayor, they have not found any evidence that the mayor has any connection with Mr. C.

The mayor did use magic props to transform Gotam. They checked the speed limit signs and roadside trees and could not detect any traces of magic. What is certain is that the number of car accidents in Gotam has indeed decreased this month. There are still many complaints on the Internet.

There are always some speed racers who find that the speed of their cars is restricted. The first thing they suspect is that there is something wrong with their cars, so the car dealerships make a lot of money.

Later, they summarized for Batman which roads had problems, and the data showed that they were all roads where traffic accidents occurred frequently.

Apart from this, there is no direct contact between the mayor himself and Mr. C.

Batman can't even prove that these props are from Mr. C. This man is like a non-existent ghost. Sometimes they suspect that he is not there at all, but sometimes he joins in various events and guides everything. He may be a person or an organization.

——He is a ghostly hand.

Batman is best at finding such ghosts from the city because this is his god.

Batman first went to Crime Alley. He parked his car far away at the intersection and noticed that the person in charge of the cathedral, Ms. Millie White, was talking to a blond man with a pale face. He might be a drug addict or someone else. There were always many such people in the East End. Then, the man put down the groceries in his hands and began to move the daily necessities donated by the Wayne Group, which had already filled the empty space of the church.

From time to time, other people came out of the church, greeted Millie and then went back to work, mostly children and women.

He looked for a while and started the car. The people standing guard on the roadside noticed the Batmobile, but just glanced at it twice and then looked away.

The Batmobile didn't drive for long before it stopped at the entrance of the Wayne Memorial not far away.

His parents were killed here many years ago. Later, the Wayne Memorial was built here. Bruce comes here every year and presents a bouquet of flowers.

The underground construction in the East District will definitely demolish this place, and the ground where many people have died will be demolished and rebuilt to become a brand new road.

He stared at the land, thought for a long time, and started the Batmobile again.

There are more people in Crime Alley at night. Batman knows that if there were so many people walking on the street in the past, Batman would know that another gang fight was about to start in Crime Alley. But these days there are so many people every night, not because of gang fights, but because the City Hall provides too much work, and it is always busy from morning till late at night and can never be finished.

There were people that Batman had beaten up, and little kids were running by holding glowing branches, as if they were heading towards the cathedral. Not far away, the giant tree that had become the symbol of Crime Alley was so conspicuous and bright.

——It seemed like not long had passed since the chaos on the night of the 24th, but it also seemed like a long time had passed.

The Batmobile finally stopped in front of Iceberg Construction.

What Batman didn't know was that shortly after he left the cathedral, the girl, who had changed her clothes, secretly poked Millie in the back.

Millie turned her head, a little surprised but not panicked: "Weiwei?"

She had met Weiwei before, and she was also involved in the incident about the Penguin Warehouse, although she was only responsible for driving.

She handed the notebook in her hand to a woman beside her and asked her to continue recording. These donated materials had to be counted and recorded personally.

Then Millie pulled Vivi closer to the church: "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"Just help me register," Weiwei said, "Register my identity. I need an identity."

During the reconstruction of the East District, the mayor proposed, against all odds, to register the identities of everyone in the East District. Vivi knew that it would be faster to go through Millie's process as long as she wrote her age lower, as she would be a minor.

Millie said, "Okay, the homeless children in the church have them too. I can send your name over with theirs now. What's your last name?"

"Just use your last name. I'm an adult." Weiwei didn't care about this at all. She just thought it was a good opportunity to solidify her identity with this account, which would make it more convenient for her to act in the future - for example, the current Iceberg Construction Company is still under the name of Violin.

Millie didn't know what she was thinking of, she chuckled and said, "Okay."

At this time, a man with dry yellow hair came in holding a handful of branches: "Ms. White, these are given to you by the children."

"Thank you, Tal."

Millie took the branches, tied them together with ribbons, and made them into a bouquet with the aesthetic taste of children. She heard Weiwei ask, "Tal?"

"Tal White," Millie smiled. "Many children here have the last name White, and Tal has lost his memory. When he mentions his own name, he only vaguely remembers it as Ta... So I named him this."

uh-huh?

Weiwei shrugged and didn't ask any further questions.

"Ta", should it be "Talon"? However, she now thinks that Tal is a good name.

When checking in, Millie asked her casually, "Where are you going next?"

She knew that Weiwei was very mysterious and would not stay here like other homeless children.

Weiwei stared at her phone and asked casually, "What time is it today?"

On the panel was a message from Robin. This was the phone that Violin had given her.

Robin said that they could give her the antidote and its formula in three days. Vivi guessed that they wanted her to solve the problem of Black Mask - three days without food and water was about enough.

"27th, soon to be 28th," said Millie.

Weiwei: “Oh… huh?”

Wait, number 27!

The 30th is 3 days away, and on the 31st the mayor should pay salaries and repay the bank!
