Batman stood silently behind her.

Cobblestone shrank back as he met Batman's cold gaze.

"I...I remember now. It seems like that's true. Because you've ruined the boss's plans time and again, he hired a professional assassin from out of town to deal with you. I arranged accommodation for him; the address is XXX."

Batman got the information he needed and didn't linger. He simply raised his grappling hook and fired a shot into the cracked skylight.

Before leaving, he turned and glanced at Copport.

"I'll come to see you again later."

After saying that, he flew away.

"Damn bats!"

Cobblestone muttered something. He turned to look at the unconscious Maggie, and in a fit of anger, he pinched her hard twice to vent his frustration.

Maggie was slowly jolted awake by the pinching.

"Huh? What happened to me? Ouch! That hurts!"

Maggie tilted her head, pressing her neck blankly.

Why is my neck crooked?

"You got a stiff neck, didn't you?" Cobblestone said casually.

She paused for a moment, then asked, "Were we... just attacked?"

No, absolutely not.

Cobblestone grumbled, not wanting to talk about that embarrassing thing.

"Who am I? How dare anyone attack me in this place?"

Maggie asked curiously, "Then why is your skylight broken?"

“It’s cool.” Cobbot gritted his teeth.

Maggie looked at the rain pouring into the room from the shattered window and hitting her desk, her expression becoming even stranger.

The expression on the penguin's face seemed to ask, "Is this a cool place?"

Copport continued through gritted teeth: "This is romance!"

Maggie suddenly realized, and a shy smile appeared on her face: "Darling, you're so good at this."

boom! ! !

With a deafening roar, an entire wall was blasted open from the outside. Bricks and stones rained down, the impact sending dust flying. Maggie screamed and hid behind Cobblestone.

Cobblestone roared, "This is my territory! Who dares mess with me here?"

Then, the red and silver armored figures emerged from the smoke screen, slowly approaching with mechanical sounds, their chests gleaming with azure light.

Copeport's eyes widened instantly.

Wait a minute, could this be the one that's been all over the internet lately?

The scene of the giant of light pushing back the tsunami with his bare hands flashed through my mind.

Cobblestone gasped inwardly, his anger vanishing instantly and replaced by a smile even more enthusiastic than when welcoming his own father.

Is there anything I can do to help you?

Without wasting any words, Shen You flipped his palm, and the light from his palm projected the titles of posts from Gotham's underground forum.

“Ah, about that?” Cobblestone remembered. “That was indeed one of my men. It was David. I asked him about it, but he seemed to be drunk at the time and didn’t remember clearly.”

“I only need an address,” Shen You interrupted.

“Oh, the address,” Copperpot said. “It’s at the corner of 19th Street. They were coming out of the bar and heading back to the casino. That’s where they met the woman.”

"OK, thanks."

Shen You marked the address, thanked him politely, then started the engine and took off, leaving another hole in the roof with a loud bang.

Rain poured down from the hole, splashing everywhere.

Cobblestone and Maggie exchanged a glance and remained silent for a moment.

Chapter 63 Ambush the Kryptonians

Gotham, an abandoned steel mill.

This place was once a bustling industrial center, but it has been abandoned since the last century. The industrial ruins remain in this deserted corner, where a cold wind blows gently through the steel ruins. Cobwebs hang from the metal beams, and the peeling paint on the walls is covered with mottled water stains and moss.

Gotham's intricate network of streets and alleys is dotted with countless abandoned factories and warehouses like these, places that often attract strange gangsters, superhumans, and aliens.

For example, at this moment, a woman in black is flying down from the roof, passing through the cracked roof and landing in this abandoned building.

The room was empty and silent, with abandoned shipping containers piled haphazardly, like evidence of being abandoned by time. Faint moonlight streamed through the broken glass, illuminating the shattered wooden crates and tattered paper scattered on the floor. The air was thick with the dampness and decay of the place.

After landing, the woman walked straight towards a heavy iron door covering the ground. The building above was merely a decoy; her true hiding place was in the basement of this abandoned factory. There, her spaceship, her vehicle to Earth and temporary base, was parked.

The heavy, massive door creaked open easily in her hands, revealing a moss-covered stone staircase that stretched deep underground.

The woman was about to step down the stairs when she suddenly frowned and stopped.

It was right at her feet, not far down.

A transparent tripwire.

trap?

The woman almost burst out laughing.

She immediately realized that her hiding place had been exposed, but she wasn't flustered at all. In fact, she hadn't put much effort into concealing her whereabouts, for a simple reason: there was no need.

She is a Kryptonian.

Having been exposed to the radiation of the yellow sun, she is practically invincible. Possessing a body more powerful than a spaceship, she is a walking interstellar weapon. Why should she be timid on such a primitive planet?

She completely disregarded this primitive trap and began searching for the enemy's location, looking around.

The Kryptonian's pupils contracted, his eyes subtly adjusted, and a faint blue light flickered within them.

Darkness and walls could not block the Kryptonian's eyes. She was certain that the ambush was nearby, and no one could escape her sight now.

then

Then she went blind.

Completely unexpected, a blinding flash of light exploded throughout the factory almost the instant she activated her super vision. The incandescent light was like a small sun exploding in a confined space, momentarily blinding her.

In that split second, she figured out the other party's scheme.

The other party never expected the primitive trap to work; it was just a feint to lure her in, with the sole purpose of activating her super vision.

Realizing that someone is lying in ambush nearby, activating super vision to scan the surroundings would undoubtedly be the first reaction.

What a despicable enemy!

This was also the result of Shen You's earlier tests. The Kryptonian-exclusive flashbang would have an extra super-amplified effect on Kryptonians who were using their super vision, and it would still be a critical hit on Kryptonians whose super senses were not yet proficient enough.

Simple Psychology.JPG

The moment vision is impaired, a living organism instinctively panics. At the same time, realizing that it is still within the enemy's sight, it will undoubtedly immediately use its second most relied-upon sense to search for and locate the enemy's whereabouts.

Super hearing.

At this moment, her body would instinctively activate her super hearing, capturing even the slightest sound of a speck of dust falling.

Unlike Superman, who spent most of his life learning what he should and shouldn't hear, most Kryptonians in the early stages of their superpower awakening can only do simple on/off switching, or at most adjust the range and distance, and find it difficult to filter out unnecessary sounds by instinct.

So when a woman opens her hearing and listens intently, she only hears...

A deafening roar.

It was a pain unimaginable to ordinary people without extraordinary hearing, a pain as if a thousand arrows were piercing her heart, spreading densely across her eardrums. The intense pain almost caused her brain to shut down instantly, and a dull buzzing echoed in her ears.

Sonic cannon.

It's still just simple psychology.

Having suffered repeated heavy blows, yet failing to even catch a glimpse of the enemy, the woman, enraged, roared, "Shameless scoundrel, do you dare face me?!"

They struck a pose that seemed to say, "Come at me head-on."

Then she got smeared all over her face.

Specium's azure light swept through the dark space, striking the Kryptonian who was about to hurl insults at his family in the face, dealing a direct headshot.

The red and silver mech stood silently in the dark corner, its arms crossed, energy surging forth.

But the woman actually withstood it!

Her head was ripped open by the impact of Specium, and blood flowed freely, but she quickly regained her footing and caught the light with both hands.

With a classic Superman pose of going against the current, she used her body to block the light output, stepping forward step by step, until her hands were burned red and she endured the pain of being scalded, yet she still forged ahead relentlessly.

Finally, she arrived before the mobile armor, like a ship sailing upstream. With a shout, she charged forward, her fingers flashing in the light, fiercely grabbing at the red and silver armor.

Bang!

A powerful hook punch suddenly came from the darkness on the side. The punch landed squarely on her cheek, causing her face to cave in, and a transparent shockwave erupted from her cheek. The woman in black was shot diagonally downwards into the ground along the direction of the punch, causing the ground to crack open with a loud bang, and the entire factory building seemed about to collapse.

Shen You, in his Ultraman form, maintained his punching stance and remained life-size, standing to the side of the mobile armor.

He was never inside the armor in the first place.

Facing genuine Kryptonians for the first time, while testing the weapons, Shen You decided to play it safe and personally transform into one of them, though without growing to gigantic size.

Meanwhile, the mobile armor is under Parr's trusteeship and remains a decoy.

If she loses both hearing and sight, then when attacked by Specium, the opponent will most likely not dodge, but will rush towards her through the light—because this is her only remaining means of locating the enemy.

In this way, she will "voluntarily" take all of Specium's continuous damage, and will also walk towards Shen You's already poised punch to take the second hit.

Shen You threw a punch without stopping, then raised his right palm, energy gathering in his palm and transforming into a halo of light along with surging lightning.

Eight-point pursuit with light wheel!
