Chapter 335 XX Again OO

"asshole!"

Sensing the intense malice rushing towards her, Selena's neck hairs stood on end, like a Hakimi whose tail had been stepped on, instantly bristling with fur.

Without saying a word, she kicked out, delivering a family planning kick to Du Mu's crotch.

Du Mu reacted quickly, pressing down with his forearm to block the attack.

Taking advantage of the gap in the block, Selena twisted her waist and slipped out of his grasp like flowing water. She rolled onto the other side of the bed and pulled out a long whip from her waist.

Du Mu raised an eyebrow: "You always carry a whip with you. Do you run a ranch, or do you have some kind of niche hobby?"

Selena ignored Du Mu's teasing.

With a flick of her wrist, the whip tip cracked in mid-air, lashing out at Du Muheng with a sharp gust of wind.

Du Mu didn't even bother to dodge. He casually raised his hand and grabbed the whip, pulling it into his palm. Selena was thrown off balance and stumbled towards him.

Selena decisively released the whip handle, and using the momentum of her forward charge, she slammed her left foot into the ground and straightened her right leg, kicking Du Mu straight in the chest.

Du Mu simply raised his hand and grabbed her ankle, pulling her to the side with the momentum and throwing her directly against the wall.

Selena slammed her back against the wall with a muffled groan. Before she could even catch her breath, Du Mu pressed her long legs over her head with one hand, lifting her right leg high against the wall while her left leg barely touched the ground, forcing her into a perfect standing split.

Fortunately, Selena's flexibility far exceeds that of ordinary people; otherwise, an ordinary person would have been screaming in agony by now.

But the position was too shameful. Selena tried to struggle a couple of times, but couldn't budge, and immediately became furious.

"Bastard! Let me go!"

"Shut up, or I'll XX you again."

Du Mu gave a reprimand, and Selena immediately shut up.

She had fully realized the fighting power of the man in front of her; she was no match for him. If she really angered him, she was afraid she would become a sex slave.

To make matters worse, she had even prepared the equipment and props for the other party.

Cat ears, bodysuit, whip...

Seeing that Selena had finally calmed down, Du Mu asked, "Tell me honestly, why are you in my house?"

Selena chuckled dryly. "Would you believe me if I said I got lost and accidentally wandered here?"

Du Mu chuckled: "Do you think I'd believe you or not?"

"I think it's worth believing."

Seeing that Selena wasn't telling the truth, Du Mu reached out and hooked the bulging bag next to the bed.

The bag overturned on the ground, and its contents spilled out with a clatter.

Diamond necklaces, jade bracelets, gold watches, and various antique jewelry pieces—each one looked incredibly valuable.

"What are these?"

"This, this..."

'

"I'm giving you one last chance to tell the truth."

Du Mu said with a chuckle, "I forgot to tell you, I'm a Gotham police officer. Your actions tonight involve trespassing, assaulting a police officer, attempted assault, and theft of valuables. Multiple charges, enough to keep you in jail for at least several years."

"Furthermore, I strongly suspect you have mental health issues and can apply to have you transferred to Arkham Asylum to serve your sentence."

Selena's expression froze instantly.

Oh no, this man is actually a cop.

When she heard Du Mu's next sentence, she quickly retorted, "I'm perfectly normal, how could I be mentally ill!"

Du Mu curled his lip: "Would a normal person dress like that and show up at someone's house late at night, carrying a big leather whip?"

Selena:

'

This is her style of dressing, but it sounds a bit strange coming from Du Mu's mouth.

But Selena was indeed frightened by Du Mu.

Arkham Asylum is a place where even the most notorious supervillains in Gotham would be severely traumatized, let alone normal people. They could even induce a mental illness in someone who wasn't already mentally ill.

"I'll talk, I'll talk! Don't send me to Arkham!"

Selena, with a mournful face, quickly explained, "Actually, I've lived in this house for a while. I saw that no one lived here and that it was so well-maintained, so I secretly moved in."

Du Mu raised an eyebrow: "Didn't the cleaners notice you?"

Selena shook her head: "I usually come here in the early hours of the morning. No one would come here at this time. How was I supposed to know that this house would be sold suddenly? I just ran into you when I came back from work."

Du Mu snorted, "So he's a freeloader, living in my house for so long for free."

Selena quickly said, "I can compensate you."

"What will you use to compensate me?"

"I have a lot of valuables in that bag; any one of them should be enough to pay the rent."

Du Mu corrected him, "To be clear, that's my bag."

Selena: "???"

The world is going to the dogs; now even police officers are becoming robbers.

Selena, obsessed with money, ignored Du Mu's threats and exclaimed, "Those are treasures I painstakingly stole... picked up! How did they become yours?!"

Du Mu remained unfazed: "Is your name written on it? Or do you have proof of legal possession?"

Selena was speechless.

She stole all these things; where would she get legal proof?

Seeing that Selena didn't object, Du Mu chuckled and said, "That's right. This is my home, so whatever's here is mine."

Selena's voice trembled with anger: "You corrupt cop, I'm going to file a complaint against you with the Gotham Police Department!"

Du Mu casually said, "Go ahead and file a complaint. My name is Du Mu, and my badge number is 9527."

Is it "Du Mu" now?

Selena's expression changed: "Wait, you're Gotham's Gunslinger?"

Du Mu was somewhat surprised: "My reputation has spread this far?"

Upon hearing Du Mu's admission, Selena unconsciously swallowed.

She had heard of this name more or less recently.

In the latest version circulating in the underworld, Du Mu is described as a super soldier secretly modified by the government, who was parachuted into Gotham to restore order to the chaotic situation.

It is said that he single-handedly stormed into the headquarters of the Masked Company, holding a shield in one hand and a Gatling gun in the other, and slaughtered the entire Masked Company, leaving only Black Mask alive.

Nowadays, in the eyes of many gang members, Du Mu is equivalent to the hidden big boss of the Gotham Police Department.

In some ways, he's even more terrifying than Batman.

Some statistics show that the survival rate of criminals who fell into Du Mu's hands was less than one in ten, or even lower; he was practically a criminal killer.

What's even more frightening is that he still has a license.

Even after taking so many criminals and saving so many lives, the final outcome was just administrative leave, nothing more.

Several underworld groups have privately warned their subordinates not to mess with Gotham's Gun God, lest they end up like Black Mask.

Selena never expected that her simple desire to find a free place to sleep would lead her to stumble upon the hidden big boss of the Gotham Police Department.

What incredible luck she has!

Selena felt her legs go weak.

If you fall into Batman's hands, you'll at most be crippled, but you'll definitely not die.

But if it fell into Du Mu's hands, it would truly be a matter of life and death.

Selena's eyes reddened, and her voice trembled with tears: "Officer, I don't want those things anymore. You can rob me of my money or my body, please don't kill me. I'm still young, I haven't experienced so many things, I don't want to die."

Seeing Selena's reaction, Du Mu was speechless.

Just a moment ago she was kicking him in the groin and whipping him, acting as fierce as a tigress, but now she's suddenly crying and begging for mercy. Her change of expression is faster than turning the pages of a book.

He released her, putting Selena's leg down, and scolded, "What are you saying? I'm a law-abiding police officer, how could I do such a thing? What do you take me for, some Gotham supervillain?"

You're scarier than a supervillain!

Selena mentally ranted, and after breaking free of control, she immediately shrank into a corner like a frightened stray cat.

Looking at her cowardly appearance, Du Mu asked curiously, "How long have you been a master thief?"

Selena answered cautiously, "Less than two weeks."

No wonder he's so half-baked; he's a newbie in the industry.

Du Mu suddenly realized what he meant and then asked, "So what did you do before?"

"An ordinary thief."

Selena was terrified by Du Mu and confessed honestly: "I've been wandering the streets of Gotham since I was a child, and I could only make a living by stealing."

"How did an ordinary thief suddenly become a notorious bandit?"

Du Mu examined the bag of treasures on the ground; it was clearly stolen from a wealthy man's house.

Even though those wealthy people don't like to bring bodyguards when they go out, their home security systems are not just for show. Selena was able to break into their homes and steal things all by herself. Coupled with her skills just now, this is something that ordinary thieves simply cannot do.

Selena's eyes darted around, and a look of hesitation crossed her face.

Seeing Du Mu narrow his eyes, she shuddered and immediately said, "Actually, there's a reason, but it sounds a bit outrageous. Don't be scared when I tell you."

Du Mu calmly replied, "I'm a police officer, I'm not afraid."

Selena took a deep breath and slowly began to speak: "Not long ago, I accidentally stumbled upon a secret transaction by a gang. As a result, they discovered me, and a group of people chased me for several blocks. In a panic, I hid in a building, but I lost my footing and fell from a high building, losing consciousness on the spot."

Upon hearing this, Du Mu could basically guess what would happen next.

It's nothing more than surviving a great calamity, undergoing a series of extraordinary adventures, being reborn, and then reaching the pinnacle of life. Most movies and TV shows portray it this way.

Sure enough, Selena continued, "When I woke up, I found myself lying in a pool of blood, but I wasn't injured at all. It was from that day on that I noticed my body was different."

"What's different?" Du Mu pressed.

"It's different everywhere."

Selena explained in a low voice, "I used to be able to only climb over walls that were two or three meters high, but now I can jump over them with ease. I can stand firmly on even the narrowest edge of a wall when I run, and I can see clearly in the dark. Moreover, my body has become incredibly flexible, and I can do almost anything."

"In addition, I can't help but pounce on anything that moves, I get sleepy when I'm sunbathing, and sometimes I unconsciously do strange things, like... like a cat."

Du Mu nodded: "I see. So you've acquired the abilities and habits of a cat."

Selena was taken aback by his composure: "Aren't you surprised?"

Du Mu seemed unfazed: "What's so surprising? Anything can happen in Gotham. There are plenty of things far more outrageous than what you've described."

Selena thought about it and realized that it made sense.

Du Mu asked with a strange expression, "More than that, I'm curious whether you've truly inherited all the habits of a cat?"

"What do you mean?"

"For example, cats will lick themselves after using the litter box..."

'

No! Absolutely not!

Selena's face instantly turned bright red, purely from anger.

Du Mu stroked his chin and concluded, "So, you used these cat-like abilities to become a notorious bandit."

Selena immediately corrected her: "I'm robbing the rich to help the poor! I only steal from those wealthy people who make money through dishonest means!"

"Where did all the money from those sales go?"

"I spent it."

Du Mu chuckled and said, "So, your Robin Hood-style scheme is actually robbing others of their wealth to help yourself, is that it?"

Selena: (=^.ω·^=)

She didn't know what to say, so she just tried to get by with a cutesy answer.

Du Mu waved his hand: "Forget it, I won't charge you rent. You can leave now."

Seeing that Du Mu was letting her go, Selena was initially overjoyed, but then her face fell.

"No, those gangsters found out I'm still alive and have been searching for me outside these past few days. If I go out, they'll find me sooner or later. For the sake of these treasures, let me stay here."

Selena changed her mind. Du Mu was the famous Gotham Gun God. With him around, they wouldn't be afraid even if the gangs came knocking on their door. There was no safer place than here.

Du Mu raised an eyebrow: "Aren't you afraid I'll [illegible] you again?"

"That's still better than being raped by a group of people."

Selena looked like she'd given up entirely.

Du Mu chuckled: "But why should I keep you here?"

Selena quickly said, "I can help you solve the case. Aren't you a Gotham police officer? I know the Gotham underworld very well and can provide you with inside information to help you solve the case quickly."

Du Mu scoffed, "My case-solving rate is 100%, why would I need your help?"

Selena was somewhat shocked: "A 100% case-solving rate? How is that possible? You must encounter some unsolvable problems, like knowing who the murderer is but not having enough evidence."

Du Mu was even more disdainful: "That's easy. Just shoot the murderer, and the person who created the problem is gone. Wouldn't that solve the problem?"

Selena:

'

'

With someone like that as a police officer, Gotham City feels doomed.

But Selena is more concerned about her own future than Gotham's.

"I can also clean!" Selena persisted.

"I can just hire a nanny; she's good at everything, from laundry and cooking to cleaning."

"Uh, I can watch your house for you."

"Are you kidding me? You, a petty thief, have become a notorious bandit and are here to guard my house? I'm afraid when I come back the next day, only the foundation will be left."

"I...I can put my butt on the back of my head!"

Congratulations, you've passed!
