From Gotham to Night City, my infamy is known to all.

So, Pure White has another job to do:

When Leo is unavailable, he goes to school in his place.

So far, everything seems to be going well.

AI is such a convenient thing!

Leo, freed from his chores, walked happily toward the largest supermarket in the vicinity.

At 9:00 sharp, V arrived as promised.

With the help of his sunglasses, Leo shared his view with her as they browsed the wide array of goods on the supermarket shelves.

V stared intently, and the thought that 60 years ago, ordinary office workers could easily buy fresh vegetables and real meat in supermarkets without having to eat liquid food or drink beverages with strange additives made her feel that the world there was so unreal.

No, it should be said that the absurd Night City seems so unreal...

When Leo moved to the wine section, she was even more shocked by the wines that were as cheap as a few dollars a bottle.

No wonder Leo always says he gets his supplies cheaply, so he can make money no matter how he sells them. A bottle of wine that costs $20 can easily sell for 1000 euros in Night City. It would be hard for him to lose money.

While chatting with V via text, Leo obtained Mrs. Wells' order from Jack and quickly drafted a shopping list.

The variety of wines in this batch was quite mixed, but the quantity was not large. He placed the order directly with the supermarket and asked them to deliver the goods to the Wayne Building's logistics warehouse first.

Afterwards, he bought some snacks and cosmetics that V was interested in, packed them up, and sent them away.

It was 10:30 in the morning. Leo had never known he could shop so much. After shopping for an hour and a half, he was surprised to find that his legs were a little tired.

He chose to rest at the cat cafe next to the supermarket, and also let V see real furry felines.

Their first long-distance date went very smoothly and ended in laughter.

At noon, Leo went to a high-end restaurant to enjoy Italian food. After eating and drinking his fill, he naturally got down to business.

【Pure White, send me those two coordinates, and I'll predict the Joker's moves!】

Rachel is being held at 250 52nd Street, and Harvey is being held on X Street in Cicero. Which one do you plan to go to first?

First, go to 52nd Street and destroy the Joker's setup, then leave the drones on standby. Then head to Cicero. Gotham City will have one less Two-Face and one more upright and incorruptible prosecutor; our business will be much easier.

Having arranged the sequence of actions, Leo stood by the roadside and took action—"Taxi!"

A thumbs-up signaled the yellow taxi to stop; that's how simple and straightforward hailing a taxi was in 2010.

"Please go to 52nd Street, thank you."

Leo settled comfortably into the back seat and turned his head to admire the scenery outside the window.

As the saying goes, "Standing is not as good as sitting, and sitting is not as good as lying down." Given an easy way to travel, he would rather not travel by himself.

A dozen minutes later, my wallet had shrunk by $50.

Leo treated the change as a tip and stepped off the bus with a relaxed air.

The street in front of me looked rather desolate, and most of the passersby were dressed like blue-collar workers. Judging from the architectural style on both sides, this was an old factory area.

Leo's student attire was inconspicuous here; passersby would only glance at him casually before looking away.

He activated the built-in camera jammer on his prosthetic eye, adjusted his sunglasses, and quietly blended into the crowd.

He walked briskly and found building number 250 at the corner at the end of the street. It was an abandoned factory with rusty iron gates and some broken windows.

It's noon, the time when the light is strongest, but the factory is pitch black, clearly indicating that it has been shut down for a long time.

The clown's choice of this location to set up the trap is truly ingenious.

Unfortunately, his opponent was the "Prophet"!

Leo strode forward and found a secluded corner away from the sight of passersby.

[Is the factory, which is pure white, equipped with surveillance cameras?]

No, the Joker knows Batman has the technological and equipment advantage, so he specifically removed all the nearby surveillance cameras. However, judging from the surveillance video from a few days ago, this trap was already prepared. Try sending a drone in to scout it out.

Leo nodded slightly and released an armed drone.

After the network connection was set up, the advanced drone, produced with military technology, quickly took off and flew through a window frame without glass.

The drone's camera relays video signals to Yi's eyes, allowing him to observe the factory in real time.

The abandoned factory building, with the upper floors almost empty, containing only some junk that even homeless people wouldn't want.

Keep going down until you reach the first floor.

This floor is very spacious and divided into many areas.

When the drone flew to the unloading area, it saw the setup that the clown had made in advance—a warehouse full of oil drums.

Early Signs of Talent: Chapter 223 Leo: "The clown's toy is nice, it's mine now!"

Adjust the drone's flight altitude to get a bird's-eye view.

The warehouse in the unloading area was filled with oil drums, easily exceeding one hundred.

Even more terrifying, there were red and black wires tangled together on the oil drum lid, connected to two old-fashioned time bombs that frequently appear in police dramas.

The survival instinct hidden deep within him began to stir, reminding Leo to stay away from this dangerous place.

The Joker's trap was prepared so early on; it seems he had calculated that Batman would be lured into it step by step. What a terrifying scheme.

This kind of madman should be killed once and for all; he's too dangerous...

Just to be on the safe side, Leo activated the camera's thermal imaging function and used the drone to take a tour of the factory inside and out.

The conclusion is—it was completely deserted.

After making his arrangements, the Joker left no guards behind. It's unclear whether this was due to overconfidence or... part of the plan to prevent Batman from finding his way here.

To be honest, this kind of strategic planning ability is terrifyingly strong. It's only when he encounters a "cheater" like Leo that he lost so inexplicably.

[Pure white, is the robot ready?]

[Wait a minute... Okay, I've found the right tool. It's not specifically for bomb disposal, but it'll do.]

Leo stretched his hands forward, and two one-meter-tall, round-headed intelligent robots appeared out of thin air, their round heads gently resting on his palms.

knock --

After tapping the robot's head twice, the two robots brandished multi-tool pliers and charged out bravely with expressions that screamed "▼〖▼".

Don't mess this up! We only have four robots; we'll have to buy more next time...

Leo prayed to heaven; he certainly didn't want the construction of the server room to be delayed.

Pure White assured him, "Don't be afraid, it's completely okay. It's an old-fashioned bomb from 2010; there are complete dismantling tutorials online. Nothing will happen. By the way, just to be safe, you should still stay far away."

Leo slipped away and ran to a distant coffee shop to order a caramel macchiato.

Fifteen minutes later, Chunbai sent the good news, and he returned to the factory.

After repeatedly confirming with a drone that it was absolutely safe inside, he tiptoed inside.

Upon arriving at the warehouse, a strong smell of gasoline filled the air.

Leo immediately looked at the time bomb made from a modified landline phone, and only after confirming that the fuse had been completely removed and the explosive device had been dismantled did he enter the room.

"The Joker seems to be a fan of big scenes. Look at this pile of oil drums, just to blow up one person. That's quite extravagant."

He commented on the clown's arrangement and paced around the warehouse.

Walking to the center of the room, he found a wooden chair, which was clearly the last piece of furniture Rachel ever used in her life.

Looking around, he felt it wasn't safe enough. These oil drums were all filled with gasoline, which is a real flammable and explosive substance; it would be better to take them all.

Since his warehouse was empty, let's put it in there first.

Leo stepped forward, reached out and brushed his hand across the surface of each oil drum, confiscating all of the clown's "toys".

After he finished, he saw two width-limiting cement blocks at the vehicle entrance and exit. Their solid shape looked heavy, so he picked them up without thinking.

The once dark and cramped warehouse suddenly became empty, with only sections of fuse left on the ground.

Along with the initial reconnaissance plane, a total of four drones flew to the roof beams and hid, preparing to give the Joker's henchmen a "surprise"!

At this point, one of the Joker's traps was completely destroyed by Leo.

A sense of satisfaction welled up from the bottom of his heart, which brought a pleasant smile to his face. After admiring his masterpiece for a while, he set off for Cicero's X Street.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and this time he finished cleaning in even less time. He even collected the fuses and stuffed them into the nearby trash can.

I glanced at the local time displayed in the upper right corner of my retina:

3pm.

According to the plot, Harvey will only execute the "bait plan" after dark to try to lure the Joker out, and there is still plenty of time.

Leo didn't want to participate in the late-night chase; it was all a Joker's trap. He just wanted to confirm whether Harvey was Batman, and even being arrested by Gordon was part of his plan.

Even if I went myself, it wouldn't have a decisive effect.

Moreover, given the terrifying urban legend that "whoever kills the Joker will become the new Joker," he really didn't dare to kill him.

Leo found a decent hotel nearby, booked a room, rested for a while, and quietly waited to close the net.

*

As dusk fades, the time for encountering demons arrives.

One second Leo was chatting happily with his friends in a chat group, and the next second the TV in front of him turned on automatically and switched to the news channel.

In the chat group, Chunbai jumped out and urgently called for a halt.

Pure White: We've got some work coming up, let's talk later.

Leo: I'll go take care of something for a while and tell you the good news later.

"V: Be careful and cautious, don't be careless."

Sasha: What happened?

"..."

After closing the chat group, Leo quickly brought his thoughts back to reality and looked at the emergency news broadcast that had been interrupted.

"Mr. Dent, how does it feel to become a great hero of Gotham City?"

"Mr. Dante, was this morning's press conference also something you intentionally planned?"

"Mr. Dante, may I ask..."

Reporters pointed their cameras and microphones at Harvey Dent, vying to ask him questions.

The reason lies at the bottom of the screen, where it scrolls as a banner—

Gotham City's most dangerous criminal was arrested this evening. District Attorney Dent used himself as bait, cooperating with the police to bring the criminal to justice!

The headlines made no mention of Batman, but the reporters clearly knew what questions to ask to boost ratings.

"Mr. Dent, it's said that Batman was also involved in tonight's operation. Have you and your team been working with him all along?"

Harvey, who had just been praising the police, quickly retorted to this tricky question: "No, but I believe he will do the right thing."

"What is it?" The reporter asked excitedly, stretching out his arm and shoving the microphone in front of Harvey's mouth, ignoring the police's attempts to stop him.

Harvey was amused by his words and said humorously, "You saved my life."

After saying that, he winked and made a funny face.

Reporters excitedly captured the scene, and some had already quietly decided to publish this photo in the news tomorrow, with the headline: "The Prosecutor General Remains Calm in the Face of Danger, Arrests Criminal with a Simple Tactic, and Afterwards Still Can Chat and Laugh!"

That expression of his is sure to charm female readers!

“I’ve finished my big job, make way, Attorney General Dante needs to rest.”

A policewoman squeezed next to Harvey, using her body to separate him from the reporters, and led him forward.

A few meters away was a black police car, inside which three officers were already waiting for Harvey.

Harvey recognized the policewoman and knew she was one of Gordon's people, so he walked toward the police car with peace of mind.

Upon approaching, the policewoman kindly opened the car door for him.

Harvey stopped and thanked her. "Thank you, Detective. I have to get to my date with my furious girlfriend."
