American comics: Random transformations

… … … …

In the monitoring room of the ACE chemical factory, the Joker's henchmen saw the Batmobile just parked.

He rushed out of the monitoring room and shouted to the Joker, "Boss, Batman is here!"

The Joker immediately became excited, running into the monitoring room even more eagerly than his henchman. After seeing the person getting out of the Batmobile, the Joker was a little displeased.

"Oh, haha, I didn't expect the little bat to find out so quickly! But he doesn't seem so sure I'm here!

How can you bring Robin when you come to play with me? Hehehe..."

The Joker instructed his Joker gang to start taking action!

… …

"Ugh, the smell here is awful! It's like pouring concentrated sulfuric acid into stinky tofu and boiling it with dog poop, ugh... it's really nauseating!"

Tian Xiaoban pinched his nose, feeling very uncomfortable. With every breath, he would subconsciously feel nauseous and disgusted.

The healthy body brought him clearer negative feedback from various environments, which would take time to adapt to.

Batman and Jason were serious and ignored Tian Xiaoban's antics, heading straight towards the chemical factory.

Tian Xiaoban stopped them: "Hey! Are you just going to walk in like that? Aren't you afraid it's a trap?"

Jason impatiently walked around Tian Xiaoban: "If you're scared, stay here! We'll go take a look and be back soon."

"Idiot, I'm talking about you! Jason! Batman is tough enough to take a beating, but you're not. Right now, it seems like you're the weakest of the three!"

Tian Xiaoban chased after him, saying hurtful words to Jason.

"Shut up!"

Jason almost hit him, but reason told him he couldn't win.

Batman ignored them and contacted Alfred instead.

"Alfred, there are indeed too many people left at the ACE chemical factory. Activate the system!"

Alfred pressed the start button on the Bat-computer and leisurely sipped his tea, saying, "Alright, sir."

The trunk of the Batmobile opened automatically, and one hundred small mechanical bionic drones silently flew towards the chemical factory.

Alfred took a sip of black tea and said, "The feed has been transferred. Be careful, sir."

Batman's arm armor popped open, revealing a small computer inside. The feed from the small drones was transmitted.

Tian Xiaoban leaned over to take a look. The small screen showed half drone footage and half a 3D model of the ACE chemical factory. The red dots inside marked the people in the factory.

The 3D model was densely packed with red dots, and the computer had already counted them.

"Wow, one thousand eight hundred and fifty-six people, this place is quite lively! Are you sure the Joker is here?"

"After what happened in Gotham yesterday, the chemical factory should theoretically be closed today! Even if there are people, it shouldn't be more than five hundred. Five hundred people are enough to keep the factory running normally, so this is obviously not normal."

Jason also came over and said, "Out of these one thousand eight hundred and fifty-six people, how many are the Joker's men?"

"… …"

Tian Xiaoban rolled his eyes, "Is that even a question? Of course, they're all his men. I'm more curious how he organized so many people?"

Batman thought of more. He felt that there should still be people like yesterday inside!

If Talon assassins were mixed in with ordinary people, Batman might worry about accidentally killing them.

He reminded them: "There may be unkillable people like yesterday, be careful!"

"Oh, right!"

Tian Xiaoban's expression also became serious. Talon assassins weren't scary, but it would be troublesome if they were mixed in with the Joker's men.

"Ha, I'm not afraid, those are just defeated opponents!"

After all, Jason had faced those Talon assassins directly, and it was one against many, and he won! It was normal for him to get cocky.

Tian Xiaoban rolled his eyes again. It didn't matter if Jason killed people, he was destined to become a killing machine in the future, an anti-hero who used killing to stop killing, but Batman was different.

Batman, Bruce Wayne, seemed to have a curse. Once he started killing, he was like a runaway trolley, going further and further down the path of darkness, never stopping.

He was terrifyingly strong, but his killing intent was also extremely heavy. He would keep killing and killing until there was no one left to kill in the universe. (Here, I specifically criticize Dawnbreaker, a Batman who kills his way through the universe, purely bloodthirsty, a super giant baby.)

"Do you have a solution?" Tian Xiaoban asked Batman.

Batman seemed to be waiting for something, and after Tian Xiaoban finished speaking, he replied:

"Yes, provided that the Joker is really inside!"

Tian Xiaoban thought for a while and asked, "The surrounding water shouldn't be polluted by the factory, right?"

"… …", Batman was silent. The ACE chemical factory had exploded before, and the surrounding water sources were more or less polluted.

Although he had spent a lot of money in the name of Bruce Wayne to treat it, the effect was basically non-existent.

Apex Chemical Company, which is the company to which ACE Chemical Factory belongs, rebuilt ACE Chemical Factory again, so the environment here has basically not been cleaned up.

"Damn it, I knew it!"

Tian Xiaoban cursed in his heart and chanted the reverse magic: "Big water pit ~" (Big puddle!)

A huge puddle appeared out of nowhere on the cement floor.

"Phew! Not bad! Not too much consumption!"

Batman looked at Tian Xiaoban with disapproval.

Tian Xiaoban explained: "My transformation is unstable, you know that! The most painful time I ever had was when I turned into a fish! I flopped around on a floor without a drop of water for an hour! Therefore, I usually find a place with water before transforming.

Wayne Manor is full of water, so my transformations are pretty casual. But this place! I'd rather spend some energy and create a safe water source myself!

Water created by magic is second only to pure water! Want to drink some?

Batman looked away.

Jason, curious, poked at the magically created water with his staff, muttering, "Cool! So cool!"

Tian Xiaoban smirked, stylishly flicked his hand, and then…

"Transform!"

Boom!

Green light flashed, the light roared!

Batman, prepared, carefully watched the figure in the light with his sunglasses.

A shiny bald head…?

…No, wait!

That's not a bald head, that's…

An egg!?!?

A two-meter-tall egg!

"Holy crap! What kind of egg is that? It's so big!"

Jason swore in shock. He'd never seen such a big egg in his life.

"Egg?" the egg spoke, sounding anxious, looking down at its reflection in the pool and cursing, "What the heck! Why this guy! This unlucky thing even exists!"

A two-meter-tall, round body, tiny eyes, complete with eyebrows and a mouth, very thin limbs, round palms, and one finger.

Batman, meanwhile, was plunged into a crisis of self-recognition.

An egg… is that considered an animal? Didn't it need DNA? Logically, what came out should be the creature inside the egg!

Instead of an… egg!

"How did I turn into Sa-shya-ko!"

(PS: Sa-shya-ko is a classic character from the 'Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf' series, an eggshell from the Ancient Strange World, who likes to call himself a 'seer.')

Jason looked at the egg, which was staring at its reflection in the water in despair, and then squirted water from its eyes. It just felt so absurd!

"What kind of creature is this? Does it attack by squirting water from its eyes?"

"Huh?"

Sa-shya-ko stopped crying, and the style suddenly changed. The egg, which had just been crying in despair, was suddenly filled with 'confidence,' a mysterious confidence.

"I am the 'seer' with an immortal body, you can admire me, but never fall in love with me!"

Jason: "…" His fist clenched! He never thought that an egg could be so deserving of a beating!

Batman spoke up at this moment: "Good abilities. I may not be able to take care of you next. You two, team up!"

After he finished speaking, he fired his grappling hook gun and flew to the nearest big tree.

Jason and Sa-shya-ko looked at each other.

"Let's go, I hope the combat power of this form isn't as useless as an egg!"

Jason complained and ran towards the chemical factory.

"Hey, wait for me. Huh? Why are you running so slow?"

Sa-shya-ko ran casually and easily caught up with Jason Todd, and ran faster and faster.

Jason fired his grappling hook to catch up, barely keeping pace.

Sa-shya-ko seemed to suddenly remember something, and patted his eggshell head: "Oh, I almost forgot, Sa-shya-ko has never lost a race!"

Jason, with sharp eyes, saw that the eggshell had cracked from his pat, and then healed in an unbelievable way.

The eggshell actually grew back! Even the cracks were gone!

Chapter 23: Facing the Joker, the Game Begins

After carefully confirming it several times, Jason couldn't help but complain:

"Your egg is pretty amazing! Is it really immortal! I just saw the cracks on your eggshell automatically repairing!"

Sa-shya-ko's narcissism was etched in his DNA, and his mentality was easily swayed. He became complacent after being praised a few times:

"I told you, I have an immortal body, hahaha! Don't even mention cracks, even if I'm completely shattered, broken all over the ground, and then crushed into eggshell powder by a road roller, I can still be resurrected! Hahaha…"

Jason always felt that this egg wasn't very smart.

However, he still said enviously: "That's freaking cool!"

"Then what's with your current speed? This egg shape doesn't look like it's suitable for running."

"The grappling hook gun retracts very quickly, but you can keep up with me on those two thin legs!"

Sa-shya-ko replied: "I don't know either, but right now, I feel like my whole body is full of power! It's like, I'll never run out of strength!

"Moreover, I'm just an eggshell, my body is light, and there are no internal restrictions, it's a very strange feeling!"

Jason pointed to a half-meter-thick tree not far away and said: "What about your attack ability? Can you shatter that tree with one punch?"

"I don't know? Let me try."

Sa-shya-ko braked to a stop, and the concrete ground was strangely scratched with two skid marks from his feet. He rushed towards the tree and bravely threw a punch.

"Kiyah!!!"

Crack!

The eggshell connecting Sa-shya-ko's hand instantly shattered, and spiderweb-like cracks covered half of the egg…

Sa-shya-ko smiled awkwardly: "Ah, well… after all, my current body is still an eggshell.

"I have the strength, but the reaction force is too much for the eggshell body to handle!"

Jason: "Freak, you're as useless as an egg!"

Sa-shya-ko panicked: "How can I, a seer, be the same as you mortals! A seer must have something special!

"Let me think… oh right, Jason!

"Contact Alfred immediately and have him send me a few fried eggs, I want to eat!"

Eat my ass! Jason turned around and left. This glutton was hopeless. At this critical time, he was still thinking about eating! Why don't you eat yourself to death!

Sa-shya-ko chased after him, rambling: "Hey, Jason, don't be anxious, even if there are no fried eggs, it would be good if Alfred gave me a few chicken eggs!"
