Robert Smith, South Hinckley Police Chief, whose uncle, Hal Smith, was South Hinckley's mayor.

And now the chief stormed into the town hall where his Uncle Hal was drinking tea.

When he saw him, the mayor of Hal said, "Stupid!"

Robert's expression froze, but he didn't dare to say anything.

"Tal White is indeed the chief of the East District Police Department and a close confidant of the mayor. Even if you want to kill him, why are you in such a hurry?" Hal said, "How many times have I taught you, Bobby? If you can't be sure that everything is safe, don't act so impulsively!"

The man's eyes fell heavily on the police chief's face, but in his anger, his hand holding the teacup remained motionless.

Robert whispered, "He came to investigate our business..."

"But he has no evidence at all," Hal glanced at him coldly, "You could have fooled that man instead of exposing yourself completely as if you were guilty."

The old man took a deep breath and said, "Go ahead and take care of the mine."

"All of them?" Robert was stunned.

Hal: "Everyone, including women and children!"

After walking out of the town hall, Chief Robert's face changed drastically. He pinched his palm and cursed in the local dialect under his breath.

He is already over 40, but he is still trained like a grandson by the patriarch of the family.

And it was obvious that the old man also had his people in the police station. He hadn't said anything yet, but the old man knew everything that happened in the police station... When would he be able to take control of the family power instead of being suppressed by this patriarch?

After being the police chief for a long time, he also wanted to become the town mayor.

"No one has ever gone down the mine, right?" Robert asked the police officer.

"No," the police officer assured, "no one can go down, we are guarding it well."

…

"I went down to the mine," Tal said, his expression unchanged for a thousand years, "the situation is not good, and there is nothing we can do to solve this problem."

Separated by a space formed by six nails, Tal's situation was of course similar to Jason's. He couldn't get out if he wanted to, and he couldn't get in if he wanted to.

After he said this, the expressions of the four people in the room became serious.

...However, there is no serious expression under the hood, but Weiwei can see the emotional symbols on the Red Hood's map. Just now, [worry] flashed across his head, and then was replaced by [anger].

This guy has been switching between [angry] and [furious] ever since he showed up, making Weiwei wonder if he is a moving volcano. Isn't he tired of being so angry all the time?

She touched her gun. "Red Hood? I remember that the last time I saw you, you were still chasing drug dealers, but your reputation outside is that you are the protector of those drug dealers. I'm not sure whether you are an enemy or a friend. Do you want to continue fighting?"

Jason was silent for a while, then said, "I'm here to solve this problem, too."

As he spoke, he pulled the wound and let out a hissing sound.

Weiwei glanced at him, took out a hammer and solved the wall in front of her, then she looked at the Freeze Man.

Freeze: "...I have never been down there, and I only know part of the situation in South Hinckley."

The idea of ​​hiding the drug manufacturing site in the mine was speculated by the Frozen Man himself. He chose to stay in South Hinckley because of the chaos and disorder here. South Hinckley is an aging town, and young people who leave rarely come back. The youngest stores here have a history of sixty or seventy years. Young people who have never left the town may not leave until they are old, so the prices here are cheap and it is also closed.

The mayor was the one who rented out the warehouse and the land, and he probably knew that the people who rented the warehouse were the penguin people, the frozen people, and the like. Even though it was such a mess outside, they didn't break into the frozen people's warehouse to search for the "escaped" Vivi and Tal. It's not like they didn't want to lose their lives.

And Tal went down the mine and found——

"There are a lot of people, old people, women and children, most of the women don't look like locals, and there are also able-bodied men, but they are either disabled or mentally challenged," Tal said. "They are all addicted to drugs and are ... working."

Recalling that scene, even his brows wrinkled.

"I took some photos, but not only are there people monitoring them on the ground, but the monitors below are also among the crowd," Tal speculated. "If we want to rescue these 'hostages', we must be prepared for the monitors to threaten us with the lives of the hostages in extreme circumstances."

"We need to get rid of the supervisor, right?" The Red Hood, who was squatting with them, clicked his tongue impatiently. "Are you sure you weren't discovered when you sneaked in? If so, we still have time."

Tal looked at him silently, and the next second, the former killer slid over silently and put one hand on the Red Hood's shoulder. From the perspective of the onlookers, he looked like a ghost.

But he didn't press it in the end because Red Hood's gun was pressed against his palm.

The two looked at each other and stopped the confrontation tacitly.

The Cryoman coughed and looked at Nora. Before he could speak, Weiwei said, "Ms. Nora can stay here. No one will dare to come in for a while. And you don't have the ability to fight. I will let White protect you."

Tal White: "White?"

"Oh," Weiwei waved, and the little horse White came over affectionately and rubbed her palm, "It's my horse."

She hugged Pony's neck and muttered something, then looked at Freeze Man again.

Frozen Man: “…”

Under the constraints of the contract, he said quietly: "Yes, I know a shortcut to the mine."

Weiwei gave him a brilliant smile.

Red Hood looked at them silently, thoughtfully.

Finally, Crazy Freeze led the way, followed by Tal, Red Hood in the middle, and Vivi behind. As they walked, Vivi grabbed Tal's sleeve and staggered two steps.

"I've never seen a vigilante as unscrupulous as you." said the unreliable drug lord who temporarily joined the team.

Weiwei, who was operating the trumpet, answered with difficulty: "I have never seen a gangster like you who leads the police."

Tower and Red Hood know each other and have met each other before, but they are not familiar with each other.

After all, one is a gang leader and the other is the police chief. It is impossible for Tal not to know him.

After that, Red Hood seemed to say something else, but Vivi was concentrating on controlling the trumpet Bella Betiven and had to be led by Tal when walking, so she naturally didn't listen.

The gargoyles flew in the sky, constantly monitoring the actions of the local police below. Weiwei noticed that they were all gathering towards the forest for some reason. She did not use the trumpet to contact Winster -

The SWAT special forces were used last time, but the two sides were working together from the inside out. The Owl Court has not yet suspected Winster, and Winster, the official traitor, has been passing on news about the court to Vivi.

But this time, there was no excuse to send out the special forces, and it would arouse suspicion.

Weiwei frequently switched numbers and first sent a message to GCPD and Bella, asking them to cooperate. Then she used Bella to contact GCPD and secretly made a call. A team of 200 people composed of prison guards and police entered South Hinckley.

But there was only one way into South Hinckley, and if a fight really broke out, who knew if they would blow up the road. She couldn't believe that drug dealers had any bottom line.

To ensure that everything went smoothly, the eyes of the gargoyles lit up red one by one in the darkness, and the stone sculptures spread their wings and fluttered over the dark sea, flying towards South Hinckley.

She had used silver tools before to correct people's perceptions, making them believe that all abnormalities could be solved with magic.

When the motorcycle was already on the road to South Hinckley, Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief, confirmed that she had done everything she could, and then came to her senses.

The walls were shaking, the entire underground route was shaking, and the Frozen Man's face changed drastically. He grabbed Weiwei's hand, turned around and wanted to leave -

He did choose his target, because Vivi was the contractor and the core. If he took her away, Tal would definitely catch up.

However, what he didn't expect was that his strength as an adult male was not as great as that of this girl. The thin and weak girl's feet seemed to be nailed to the ground.

"There was an explosion underground," Frozen said quickly, "I am a temperature expert, and my perception of temperature is more sensitive than any of you. It must be an explosion! I can't die. If I die, Nora will die too--"

"Give me the cryo-gun, and then you can go back." Weiwei spoke quickly, and at the moment when she was entangled with the cryo-man, the other two men's faces changed, and they rushed deep into the tunnel in unison.

Frozen took a deep breath and threw all his equipment to Weiwei. When he looked up, the girl's hair was flying and she quickly caught up with him.

His expression changed slightly, he raised his head, turned around suddenly, and left his boss behind.

While running, Weiwei counted the props in her space. The mine exploded. They underestimated the opponent's determination. After discovering that the police who came to investigate drugs had left, even though they did not realize that Tal had entered the mine, these criminals decided to erase all clues directly.

Fortunately, Tal left some clues, and the evidence he took had already been sent back to the bureau.

But South Hinckley is too remote compared to downtown Gotham, and the only real support right now is the gargoyles in the sky.

The map here is not activated, and Tal and Red Hood who ran over can no longer be seen on the map. Vivi switches to the [Magician] suit with one click while running. At this time, there is no need to brush up the status of Mr. C, the scapegoat, because she can only open two accounts at the same time. If Mr. C descends, her trumpet on the motorcycle will fall to the ground immediately.

She quickly scanned the number of spells that filled up the panel and continued to increase the moment the suit was activated, then picked the simplest and fastest ones and cast three spells that were bound to fail, and then she switched back to her original equipment.

The further she went, the higher the temperature became. She saw raging flames and the hot mine walls reflected on the ground.

Then, Weiwei heard wailing, countless hoarse wails, desperate cries and screams, as well as pleas for mercy and prayers for God to come.

The bright and warm light has now become a death sickle that snatches away life. She whispered, "...Why do games always seem so real in places like this?"

The prostitutes in the East End were, and now the mines are, too.

The suffering was too real for her to ignore it like a player.

She leaped out of the mine and retrieved—

【Silver·Drawing: Changing Bridge】

…

Those crazy guys decided to blow up the mine with the people! Jason was angry but powerless, and even angrier because of his powerlessness. He was always like this, so he might not be suitable to be a hero. Using props to isolate the fire wall was only temporary, and he was dizzy because the drug dust scattered by the explosion was poisonous to everyone.

He wanted to save them, but it was no use. There were so many of them... so many of them that they couldn't run away.

——They were either chained to the wall, or their legs were broken, or they had no intention of escaping at all.

Living is painful enough, why run when death finally comes with its flames?

Jason raised his head in a daze:

Is he expecting rain to fall from the sky?

But he didn't see the rain, he only saw one person, the childish little bastard, Batman's new pet, the vigilante named Night Watch, the girl who didn't escape with Freeze.

He saw her leap into the air, and then a bridge appeared out of thin air, spanning the entire mine, catching her exactly as she landed, and then the cold came.

The entire bridge turned into a transparent ice bridge, emitting cold air all around!

Under the influence of the cold, Jason's mind became clear. He immediately stood up, picked up the child closest to him, broke the shackles on the woman next to him, and moved in that direction with her on his back.

People all felt the coldness to some extent and instinctively moved closer to the bridge.

It was as if everyone was a drowning person, but there was only one person standing on the bridge. She lowered her head, staring at the faces of the drowning people, staring at their outstretched hands.

Then, she took a step back, as if she was absorbed into the dim light, and her whole body was enveloped by the light. The rocks on the top of the cave were falling, and the whole mine was shaking. The girl's lavender clothes were blown up by the hot wind. She seemed to be staring at everything in front of her, but also seemed to be looking at nothing.

She snapped her fingers.

The severe cold spread all around, avoiding humans, freezing the flames, and turning fallen rocks into ice cones, turning the entire mine into a world of ice and snow.

Then she fell to her knees on the ice bridge, tilted down, and fell into a coma.
