Chapter 67 Published



A statue stands quietly opposite Gotham University. It kneels on one knee and stares at Crime Alley in front of it. Where is its gaze? The Wayne Memorial? The Boiler District? Or the East End Cathedral?

An airship was flying crookedly forward. Under the "watch" of the statue, it would crash into the East District Cathedral in ten to fifteen minutes. After destroying half of the building, it would end in an explosion and destruction - releasing fireworks called madness in this bustling yet poor, joyful yet painful city.

Uncle Ugly was delighted—that was what he loved to see.

This city is beautiful, dangerous and full of sin. Batman is a part of her, and Clown is also a part of her. How can she only love the beautiful part and leave Clown in the dark night?

Ha, he disagrees!

The first person to notice something was wrong was not a human, but a cat.

The sensitive nocturnal animals first noticed the unusual light in the sky and became anxious. The cat girl who was sleeping in the attic at the top of the church pushed open the door, but did not wake Millie up. The first person to wake up was Sheila who was sleeping in the bed next to her.

Because she mentioned in a class assignment that her "sister" was doing charity work in the East District of Gotham, her club and other clubs in the school organized a volunteer action to help Ms. Millie White, who was always short of staff. There were about twenty students from Gotham College - they could also take this opportunity to complete a holiday practical assignment.

The mousetrap opened her eyes silently, and the man and the cat looked at each other in the darkness. Then, they both seemed to have made a choice.

Sheila called to wake Millie, and the cat started to hiss softly. Then, as if all the cats nearby were inspired, their shrill cries woke up almost everyone. Then there was the sound of mice running between the bed boards.

Cats and mice, the two natural enemies, reached an agreement at this time and did not attack each other. So at this time, people with a little experience thought: Is this an earthquake?

Millie didn't have time to think about it, and ran downstairs barefoot. Everyone else woke up and started to move immediately, but there was no shaking. Only then did she have time to look up at the sky -

"Oh my God," Millie cried out, almost heartbrokenly, "Take the children, let the children go first."

It is difficult to maintain the hard-earned peace, but it is so easy to destroy it.

She saw the airship heading towards them.

She wasn't sure if they had the time - in addition to children and prostitutes, the hospital also received a lot of homeless patients, and it was difficult to move and transfer the patients.

At this time, not many people were willing to stay and help her support them... because staying for one more minute would double the possibility of death.

The second group of people who noticed something was wrong were the violin's subordinates.

Maybe it was because of their work, relying on money and fists, plus "someone behind him", he won over a large number of guys who were willing to work for him as long as they had food to eat. After all, sometimes you can't even eat enough working for other gang bosses - you're just a worker. Are low-level gangsters nobler than workers?

After a period of training, they began to take on some simple and trivial work that required physical strength, and then worked in three shifts. According to Miss Weiwei, this was to allow them to be energetic at all times and have sufficiently high work efficiency.

The violinist himself is a night owl. Late at night, he is practicing the violin on the top floor of the building which is the headquarters of Iceberg Construction Company.

He had told the gentleman that this was his specialty, so he would naturally do his best.

Then, he witnessed the statue of Batman appear out of thin air, and also saw Miss Weiwei and Robin chatting, followed by chaos in Arkham and the East District being put on alert. At that time, Violin felt something was wrong.

He woke up the workers who were resting and went out into the streets and alleys of the East District.

It was also at this time that he discovered that the airship was about to crash.

Just a second later, he made up his mind: "Call our elite troops to rescue the people in the cathedral."

He didn't mind how many people would die, but Miss Weiwei seemed to be on good terms with the people in the cathedral, and with the cathedral around, some of their businesses would be easier, and it would be nice to sell well.

"Aren't you going to call everyone, Boss?"

He kicked the subordinate and said, "Everyone? Those guys who are not familiar with us will only take advantage of the situation. Let's bring people we trust and let them keep their hands to themselves!"

The next people to notice the airship were the City Hall guards, who were patrolling the area.

They contacted Glenn Company immediately and questioned why their airship was here, but Glenn Company naturally could not contact the dead pilot. Then the security department fired a warning shot, signaling the airship to change its route.

They reported to the City Hall and shared the news with GCPD and other departments. This information was captured by Oracle, and a drone captured Xiao Chou's face on the airship.

The dungeon team finally found Xiao Chou, and a purple circle appeared on Weiwei's map, but it seemed too late.

Is it really too late?

Within ten minutes, almost all the children and women were moved to the nearby Iceberg Construction Company, where they could be temporarily accommodated.

But people were still rushing into the cathedral. Unable to move patients lay wailing on their beds, conscious patients crawled on the ground in fear, and even cats and mice began to move, but it was still not enough.

For fifteen minutes, Millie held her knees and gasped for breath. She could almost see the airship outside the window, and also saw the dead body of the pilot through the glass. Because she forgot to wear shoes, her feet were scratched, but her mind was blank at this moment.

And, there are people who are...

She remembered everyone's face, she had counted them, and there was one person, a little child, who was quiet and always hid herself in a corner. She only dared to come out at night and run around barefoot on the carpet, and Millie could often catch her under the closet or under the blanket.

She should be now...

On the second floor!

Millie rushed to the second floor, and she heard the wall wailing under the heavy burden, but then the wailing stopped.

It wasn't that the wall suddenly showed its power, but that someone pulled the airship.

The white thread grabbed the tail of the airship. The boy's thread wrapped around the glowing tree and grabbed the tail of the plane. Everyone knew it must be Spider-Man, but they didn't mention it.

The boy stretched out his arms. Perhaps he was in too much of a hurry and did not have time to change into his uniform. He was only wearing a black coat that was one size too big, with a hood on, and the collar of his sweater pulled up to cover most of his face.

He tried to raise his head, and they could see how hard he was trying, how much he looked like he was nailed to a black cross.

Everyone could tell from the web that it was Spider-Man...but they were all silent.

People were transferring patients and pulling children. Millie held the taciturn little girl in her arms. She was only four years old. She looked terrified and hid under the table in the small classroom, not knowing how to run.

When Millie ran out holding her, Spider-Man could no longer hold on, the spider silk broke, and he fell from mid-air. Millie even saw that the shoes on his feet were not Batman's woolen socks.

"Who is that..." the little girl in her arms asked blankly.

Millie stroked her soft hair: "A hero."

She handed the girl to someone she trusted and said, "Tal, take her to Iceberg Company. I'll go find the cat."

Half of the church had become ruins. Millie squeezed her palms tightly and ran into the chaotic crowd with her back turned.

Tal, who was left behind by her, lifted the child up and put him on his shoulders. The child imitated Millie's action and touched his hair: "Are you a hero?"

"I don't know," said the former killer, now amnesiac, rescuer, "...but I could be."

He handed the child to the people sent by the security department, because these people had been patrolling the East District and they were already acquaintances, but they never said hello.

Then, Tarr broke an iron rail with one hand and weighed the feel of it.

He thought he could use this, but it would be more convenient if he had a throwing knife... Let's just make do with it for now.

He rushed forward and knocked down a guy wearing an ugly mask with a stick.

——Xiao Chou summoned his Xiao Chou Gang.

And now, the members of the Ugly Gang are fighting with the workers of Iceberg Construction Company, one side is using knives and sticks, the other side is using hammers and sledgehammers - none of them have guns, because of the gun restriction order a few days ago, even the gun stores have been driven away - because the boss behind him fell, and Wayne bought the store and started selling Mexican cheese rolls instead.

They can't beat each other with cheese rolls, can they?

However, in reality, it was the people from the construction company who had the upper hand, because the anger in their hearts was ignited. A strong man with half tattoos suddenly knocked the ugly gang of thugs in front of him to the ground and roared: "Do you know how long the wall here has been built, and who mowed the lawn?"

Tal, who happened to be next to him, couldn't bear to watch it anymore and whispered, "The children take turns mowing the lawn."

But the strong man didn't hear it at all, he pounced on the next one angrily!

"Everyone, listen to me," someone jumped down from the airship, and the airship exploded behind him, causing secondary damage to the building, "I think you should not forget who I am? Children, Uncle Ugly brought you gifts, wait, where are the children?"

As he spoke, both sides in the fight subconsciously stopped, either out of fear or surprise.

Xiao Chou stepped on a rag doll that had been patched many times, and crushed it with disgust, as if he had suddenly lost interest: "I brought explosions and chaos to you. The reason is very simple. No one did anything wrong, it's just--"

He waved his hands exaggeratedly, pointing at the statue in the distance, his face full of confusion: "You actually let a terrible lunatic become the symbol of the city, instead of choosing a little clown who makes people feel friendly and brings joy to people. This is really disappointing..."

He smacked his lips. "Well, if you change the statue from a bat to an ugly uncle, the bomb won't explode. Now, guess what—"

"Where's the bomb?"

Just at this moment, a kitten with its whiskers singed by the aftermath of the explosion crawled out from under the cardboard, unable to tell the direction, and went straight to Xiao Chou.

Xiao Chou lowered his head: "...kitten?"

He tapped the kitten with the tip of his shoe in a bored manner, then lifted his foot. Everyone knew what he was going to do -

Until a dark shadow jumped out of the darkness, swung out a long whip and wrapped it around Xiao Chou's wrist, picked up the cat with one hand, and kicked the opponent's knee.

This is none other than Serena Kyle, the Catwoman.

She was turned into a cat by the medal, but just now, under the strong desire to protect, she seemed to have realized something and was suddenly able to turn back into a human. It seemed to be only temporary, but it was enough.

But as she attacked, she heard cries of surprise and shouts of "Watch out!" from all around her.

A shadow came from behind and enveloped her.

The ugly girl raised her funny hammer and smashed it down: "You are not allowed to hurt my Mr. J!"

Time seemed to slow down suddenly at this moment, everything became a slow shot, but people's thinking speeded up. Selina was thinking about how to dodge, but suddenly found out -

"Tut"

"Tut"

In addition to the shouts of exclamations and reminders, there was another sound in the crowd.

That's the sound of horse hooves.

A green vine suddenly wrapped around the ugly girl's hammer and pulled it flying.

The ugly girl turned around in surprise: "Ivy?"

She thought it was Poison Ivy, but when she turned around she found out it wasn't!

Green Ivy was hanging in the air with a hammer in hand. The girl on horseback pulled the reins and looked down at them from above.
