Chapter 42 Can you block that broken mirror? "How many...
"There are a few passersby."
Liu Shu looked at Sherlock as he ran away, not quite understanding what he was saying. After he finished speaking, he went to ask the Red Hood gang members who were moving things all sorts of questions.
For Liu Shu's sake, those people were very tolerant of Sherlock.
So she's got a pass?
Liu Shu, who had figured it out, stood beside a cracked round table. She first squatted down to look at its smooth broken edge, then turned around and left.
Instead of looking for clues here, it's better to go directly to Red Hood.
Walking through the magnificent lobby and into the corridor, Liu Shu saw relatively fresh bloodstains and bloody palm prints on the wall, which looked like they were from a day ago.
She continued walking inside and arrived at the kitchen without any surprise.
No, we are not coming here. Liu Shu looked at the door number. She didn’t find the floor plan here.
And there's no one here.
She followed the same path she had come, intending to ask ahead.
But when she walked to the bloody palm print again, she found a dark line that was not in harmony.
Liu Shu squatted down, touched the line, and unexpectedly found a clickable block.
It was hidden in a wall with intricate patterns and would have been difficult to detect if it weren't for the blood seeping in.
It was a secret passage, and Liu Shu guessed it was used for escape, but the person who wanted to escape died before he could do so.
With that amount of bleeding, he's unlikely to survive.
She bent down and walked into the small door. The cramped space inside forced her to keep her head down as she passed through.
Liu Shu raised his hand to touch the bricks on the top. Being short was an advantage at this time. If he was taller, he would have to squat.
After walking for a long distance, a ladder appeared in the passage.
The road is not blocked here and you can still go further in.
Going up should be going upstairs. Liu Shu glanced at the wall, took out a green rope from her pocket, and tied it to the ladder pole that she had not walked in that direction.
This way you won’t get lost.
She stepped on the ladder and climbed up.
The very long ladder finally reached the end. Liu Shu wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked down. It must be several stories high.
Is he on the top floor now?
She found that the space here was the same as down there, and she had to lower her head to walk.
It makes sense when you think about it. The Penguin's body shape is just right for him to walk like this. If there are pursuers behind him, he can't run as fast as he can because he has to walk crouched.
"Who?"
Liu Shu just glanced out through the glass in the secret passage and someone discovered her.
She pressed the button and the door opened.
"This is a one-way mirror. How do you know someone is there?" Liu Shu searched for the door closing button for a long time.
Finally, it was Jason who closed the door on her.
There are other people in this room.
"Then how did you get here?" Jason didn't introduce herself to her.
"What a coincidence." Liu Shu looked at Damian, who put his hood back on as soon as she came in.
His presence could explain the Penguin's regretful departure.
"Tell me, what is your purpose?" Jason sat in the main seat. He knew that although Liu Shu was not a member of the Red Hood Gang, he was also considered a half-military advisor.
"Purpose?" She still has a purpose?
"Why are you helping me?"
"Let's create a harmonious Gotham together?" Secretary Liu felt that he just wanted to make the area around his home quieter.
Jason narrowed his eyes. He hadn't expected this kid's ambitions to be greater than those of the conspirators.
"What if I can't do it?"
She didn't ask him to do it. Looking at Jason who became serious, Liu Shu realized that he had misunderstood her.
"I wish the city wouldn't be so noisy at night," she explained again.
But the word night seems to have a deeper meaning in Gotham.
"You want to attack the bats too?"
"What does this have to do with bats?"
"I understand."
No, he didn't understand at all. "You have done it now." Liu Shu didn't know what to say.
Jason nodded. "Is this also part of your calculations?"
“I didn’t calculate it.” Forget it, it’s hard to explain to such a middle school student, so Liu Shu looked at Damian again.
He stood silently by the window, seemingly looking outside, but Liu Shu knew that his attention was always on her conversation with Jason.
"Why are you helping him?" Damian was playing Assassin's Creed here yesterday afternoon.
Afterwards, he also had a fight with Robin. With this kind of strength, Damian can succeed in everything he does.
Damian ignored her.
"He wants to know if Batman can fight against the Red Hood Gang, which has integrated all the evil forces in Gotham." Jason actually didn't like the feeling of being used as a touchstone.
If Damian hadn't actually done something, he might have fought with Damian first.
"A mere Penguin can hurt you, and you want to compete with Batman?" Liu Shu's words were true, but very provocative.
Damian threw a throwing knife at her.
"Hey, do you still want to hit her?" Jason picked up a piece of solid wood furniture to block it.
The flying knife stuck deeply into it, and Liu Shu smiled.
If it was thrown from that direction, it would only grazed her face, but a person's face should not be treated like that.
"You..." Damian didn't know why she didn't look angry;
Ryushu walked over to him, lifted his hood, and was slapped away.
She glanced down at her hand, which was beginning to turn red. Damian was using a lot of force.
"Where did you come from?" Why didn't you go find his father? Liu Shu looked at Damian's face carefully.
Putting aside the expressions...
She couldn't let it go. Liu Shu had never seen the child's mother. If she insisted on finding Bruce's characteristics in him, she could find some.
"A faraway place." Jason sat down again.
"Jason, can I call you that?" Secretary Liu remembered that he had never told her his name, but they were acquaintances who didn't see each other often.
"Please."
"Do you feel..." Feeling a chill on his back, Liu Shu turned around to look at the one-way mirror. It was placed on a collage painting, and the mirror was the eagle's eyes in the painting.
Although it is only a small piece, it is enough to observe the outside.
Damian now had two more throwing knives in his hands, and any throw he made could pierce the eyes of the person behind him.
Liu Shu grabbed his wrist, thinking, what if he was an acquaintance?
"Tsk." Damian put his hand down and put his hood back on.
Liu Shu looked at Jason again. Good, he was also covering his face.
She walked towards the door she had just come out of and pressed the switch.
"Wow!" Nightwing deflected the flying knife with his kari stick.
Damian still took action the moment he jumped out.
The furniture suffered during their fight, with Nightwing throwing a vase at Damian.
He hit the wall next to Liu Shu with the back of his knife, and Robin pulled up his cloak to help Liu Shu block the flying porcelain fragments.
It was just the two of them fighting, and Red Hood looked like he wanted to throw everyone out.
Liu Shu inexplicably felt like they were three conspiring villains who were discovered by these two vigilantes.
She looked up at Robin who was so close, "How did you get here?"
Very good, this line also sounds like a villain.
Robin pulled out a familiar green rope, "Thank you for showing us the way."
The rope she used was to prevent her from getting lost; it had no function of providing directions. Liu Shu took two steps back. "Are you following me?"
No, more like it.
The room was in chaos, and they didn't know that there was actually another person hiding in the secret passage.
There is also a cute Di Ting, which is also squatting in the secret passage.
Batman, who wasn't looking directly at the one-way mirror but using the reflection to observe, was assessing the fight of Damian, a kid he had never met before, but Robin had told him about last night.
Even when injured, he can still fight Nightwing back and forth. He is very strong.
Robin joins the fight, and the situation quickly becomes one-sided.
"Let me go! Red Hood! Why are you just watching!" Damian struggled in Nightwing's hands. He was injured and couldn't beat Nightwing and Robin together, and Red Hood didn't help him.
He thought it was two-on-two or even three-on-two.
"So where's your penguin?"
"I said I won't raise one."
"We have to raise something."
"I don't raise anything."
Ryushu and Red Hood sat in the ruins and talked.
Red Hood had originally wanted to renovate this place, and their demolition was just what he wanted.
"Does Penguin Man have many birds? He doesn't keep those either?"
"He'll manipulate them to hit me, so why should I keep them?"
"Hey! Red Hood!" Damian really wanted to call him by his real name, but for the sake of the plan.
"The owl is so cute. Does he have little sparrows? Can they fight?"
"Usually used for surveillance." Red Hood was very irritable now, but talking to Liu Shu helped him calm down a little.
He didn't even look at Dick and Batman's new Robin behind him. They both knew his identity, so why? Why didn't that person come to find him?
Liu Shu felt a familiar sense of oppression from the Red Hood, and he seemed to be in great pain now.
The secret door that suddenly opened attracted everyone's attention.
"Woo woof!" Di Ting ran out with a clatter and closed the door.
An animal that can open doors cannot be locked up. Batman didn't expect it to press the switch by itself. He was hiding well, and the sudden change almost exposed his flaws.
Only it? Liu Shu looked at his pet in surprise. Wasn't it in the manor? Who brought it here?
"?" Red Hood tilted his head. He didn't know why Di Ting wanted to sit in front of him.
"Woof!" Di Ting also tilted his head.
Liu Shu grabbed Di Ting and put him in Red Hood's arms.
It must have noticed something.
Liu Shu took two steps toward the door, "Can I order?"
"Close down - don't you know what closing down means?" Red Hood slowly placed Di Ting on the ground, then clapped his hands in disgust.
"I know what your waiters will say from now on." Liu Shu opened the half-open door and looked back. Red Hood and Di Ting followed her.
"What line?"
"I hate you coming here, but how can I help you?"
"Good idea, that's it."
"I'm just kidding, don't be like this."
There was a sound of breaking glass in the room, which must have been Damian running away.
After listening to Ryushu's advice, Red Hood leaned against the wall of the hallway.
"Looks like I have to play it safe," he cursed casually. "Do you have any ideas?"
"What are you fighting for?"
"bat."
Ryushu imitated him and leaned against the opposite wall.
"Open your hand? Do you mean you were hiding something?"
"Yeah," Red Hood closed his eyes, "He'll definitely freeze when he sees me, and then we can..."
Putting aside why she wanted to have a villain conversation here, Liu Shu looked confused. Didn't he know Batman's feelings for him?
"Why don't we take down the Wayne Group and become the hegemon of both the black and white worlds in Gotham?"
