I, V, Gotham Legend

……

Batman broke the last prisoner's arm, then stood up as if nothing had happened.

The floor was littered with prisoners, their limbs twisted at all angles, and they would have to rest for a long time before they could move again.

Batman didn't have time to waste here. After making sure that no one else would pop out, he ran deep into the intensive treatment center.

Just ten minutes ago, the Joker got into trouble as expected. When he was being escorted to the transfer cell area by Batman, the entire building suddenly lost power for a moment, and then immediately returned to normal.

But as the world lit up again, Batman noticed that an electric door that would only be activated in an emergency separated him from the Joker who was close at hand.

The Joker jumped off the gurney as if he had just gotten up from a nap on the sofa, and easily grabbed and pinned down Dr. Yang who was escorting him.

At the same time, the cell doors behind the Joker opened, and the prisoners transferred from the black door walked out and stood behind the Joker very naturally.

It was this scene that allowed Batman to determine that the Joker was the mastermind behind the fire at Blackgate. He used this method to transfer the villains in Blackgate to Arkham to serve as his men.

When Batman unlocked the power switch through technical means, the Joker had already fled with Dr. Yang without looking back. The only ones left here were the villains waiting to beat Batman up.

These prisoners didn't delay Batman much, but the Joker's plan had obviously been in preparation for a long time, and he disappeared almost immediately.

"Jim, share with me some of Arkham's internal surveillance." Batman asked Gordon for information while running in the corridor.

But he only heard a busy tone.

Batman tried to contact Alfred again, but got the same result.

The communication was cut off again, but Batman was not in a hurry. He accurately found the most likely route based on the map in his memory and his understanding of the Joker.

He soon came to a heavy door, behind which was a circulation center connecting all the rooms.

This door requires a staff member's identity to open, but fortunately Batman left a back door for himself. He pressed a few buttons on his arm, and the door in front of him rose like a curtain.

Before the door could rise high enough, Batman threw a batarang into the gap in the door. The air was scratched, but he only heard the sound of it hitting metal.

The door was fully raised, and Batman walked in calmly. He saw the Joker at a glance.

The Joker stood on a huge single-person cell that looked like a standing coffin. He squatted down, a bat dart grazing his head and nailed to the chains behind him.

"Welcome! I've been waiting for you, Bat! Hahahaha!" Seeing Batman, the Joker immediately stood up.

Batman didn't say anything like "you have no way out" or anything like that. He just silently picked up another batarang.

Seeing that he had no interest in chatting, the Joker also showed a disappointed look: "How disappointing, Bats, you knew I had a plan that would drag many people into it, but you still cooperated and fell into my trap."

"This is your open conspiracy, but I will stop you." Batman finally spoke back.

"Oh... you know very well that my plan has not started yet. You can stop me now. There is only one way." The clown held the chain behind him and smiled again, "Kill me!"

Batman didn't say anything more, he just picked up the batarang again.

"Well, since you're not going to kill me anyway, let me kill you." The Joker stepped on the cell under his feet and said, "Let me show you my baby. I call him Titan!"

The coffin-lid-like cell door opened and fell to the ground as if it had been kicked open, raising a cloud of dust.

A huge foot stepped out of the cell and stomped heavily on the ground, and the ground seemed to tremble.

Batman frowned and looked seriously at the huge monster coming out of the cell. He seemed to smell a strong smell of blood...

……

The rainstorm became increasingly severe, as if we were in a thick fog, and visibility was greatly affected.

Valerie and the others were sitting in a car, which was a means of transportation that Valerie had specially summoned to keep out the rain.

After leaving the ward, they should have rushed to the botanical garden immediately. Although the heavy rain affected their sense of direction, the botanical garden was not far away after all.

But their car had only driven a few meters away when Valerie's player driving skills hit a rock.

Although the collision made people feel unhappy, Valerie still turned the steering wheel and planned to ignore the matter for the time being.

But surprisingly, the car seemed to have broken down and was difficult to control.

Valerie felt it was very unusual, this was the car she summoned, it was impossible for it to break down.

As if answering her question, the "stone" stuck in front of the car slowly stood up. In the blurry environment of the heavy rain, one could still see an eye flashing with a cold light.

There was no boulder at all. Valerie's car hit a three-meter-tall giant.

NO93. Close the window (

A giant about two and a half meters tall stood up with his neck twisted. Compared to his height, his physique was even more bloated, like a doorpost.

Valerie pursed her lips and used the wipers to clear the rain from the front window, allowing the people inside the car to see the giant's terrifying face clearly.

Bones pierced through muscles like primitive armor, and rain fell on his body, flowing to the ground along with the blood.

The giant's pot-lid-sized palm pressed against the hood of the car, his fingers digging into the metal, restricting the car's movement like he was pulling a shopping cart.

Valerie shifted the car back into drive and stepped on the accelerator, sending the car into full speed.

Even the giant, who looked dangerous, was pushed backwards when faced with a car with the accelerator pressed to the bottom. Its huge paws sank into the mud, leaving deep grooves on the ground.

The giant's strength was great, but not as great as that of the Kryptonian, and he was soon knocked off balance and hit backwards by the car until he was pushed into the green belt and crashed into a wall.

The giant's body was smashed into the wall, the entire arm that was holding the car was folded, and his waist was twisted by the head-on collision. The wounds from bones all over his body bleed more like a sponge being squeezed out.

Blood was also flowing from his seven orifices, and it was obvious that his internal organs had also suffered a considerable impact, but he still had considerable vitality and was struggling like a locust with its stomach pierced.

The giant struggled, waving his remaining arm, which was still able to move, and struck the front window of the car hard, like striking a bell.

This car was just a temporary means of transportation that was randomly summoned. It didn't have much toughness, and the front windshield was smashed into pieces like breaking ice.

The giant drew his hand back and clenched his fist, intending to give the man inside a good blow, but before he could swing his fist down, the barrel of a gun was already pressed against the giant's forehead.

The red eye twitched, and before he could react, Valerie had pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

With a gunshot, the giant's head was blown to pieces by a shotgun blast at his face, and his brains mixed with blood splattered all over the wall behind him.

The fist that was ready to fire like a cannonball dropped weakly, and the huge body like a rockery slid to the side.

Valerie put away the smoking gun barrel. Her hair and clothes were wet from the rain and stuck to her body. Her expression was full of dissatisfaction.

"Is this guy a zombie? Is he mutated? Did someone release a virus in Arkham?" Valerie looked at the giant's corpse and guessed based on his appearance.

"Knock knock knock..." Just as Valerie was squatting on the hood of the car thinking, there was a knock on the window behind her.

Turning back, it was Harley who was holding the water pipe above her head. She said weakly, "Can you close the window?"

The rain poured into the car through the broken front window, soaking the seats and Harley who was sitting in the passenger seat.

Sitting in the back seat, Harvey, dressed as Daredevil, was very cunning and hid behind the seat.

Valerie looked back at the giant, then got back into the car. She just waved her hand and the window in front of her was repaired.

"It's so unlucky that I meet this guy just on the way to the botanical garden." Valerie wiped the steering wheel with a towel and then sighed.

"How did you do that?" Harvey suddenly leaned out from the back seat and asked Valerie, "One moment he was sitting there, and the next moment he was standing outside."

Harvey felt that he was already quite familiar with Miss V, so it would be okay to ask questions that might be offensive.

"Want to learn? Wait until you're sane." Valerie said as she shifted gears.

The number and quality of Harvey Dent's current prosthetics are the most appropriate level that Valerie has prepared after calculations and research on his physical condition. If there are more, he will not just be schizophrenia.

Valerie looked at the rearview mirror and stepped on the accelerator to back the car. The smashed and twisted car exited the green belt. She took a last look at the headless corpse blurry in the heavy rain.

"Where did that guy come from?" Harley was also looking at the guy. After the window was broken just now, she almost rushed up with a water pipe.

Valerie bit her lip and said, "His name is Johnny. He should be an employee of this hospital. He bought coffee at Spencer's Pizza this morning."

Harley looked at Valerie's profile in surprise: "You know him?"

"I don't know him. I just scanned him." Valerie patted the steering wheel and said, "Whoever poisoned the ward turned an ordinary employee into a monster like this."

After so many days in Gotham, Valerie has come to understand that this is a cannibalistic city for ordinary people, but if she were in their shoes, she would definitely not want to die in such an ugly way.

"Bang." A loud sound came from the back seat. Harley turned around and looked back with the same eyes as she looked at Shen Jin.

Harvey's face was heavy, and he said angrily: "We should catch the mastermind and bring him to court...

Then cut him in half!"

It's a rare occasion that Two-Face and Harvey Dent agree on their attitude towards something.

"You can't kill anyone," Valerie said just for emphasis.

She turned the car around and could already see the shadow of the botanical garden. The round outline was faintly visible in the heavy rain, and from a distance it looked like the palm of a devil...

……

The huge body covered its chest and struggled hard against the wall, but finally fell to the ground like a puppet with its strings cut.

Batman put down his fist that was ready to strike, and looked vigilantly at the giant lying in front of him. He only walked over after turning on his detective vision and confirming that the guy really had no heartbeat.

The monster was naked, with bones sticking out of its back and joints, and other than that, its entire body was covered with pustules.

This monster with a deformed and swollen body, called Titan according to the Joker, seemed to have died of cardiac arrest.

There are many needle holes on Titan's skin, and it looks like he has been subjected to many experiments. This may be the reason for his sudden death - he had reached his limit a long time ago and was forced by the Joker to fight Batman.

Batman took out a syringe, pierced the Titan's skin, and drew a large tube of blood, which he would take to the Batcave for further testing later.

The Joker had already escaped while Batman was fighting with the Titan, so Batman took out his grappling hook and planned to catch up with this guy.

But just before he pulled the trigger, a bell rang suddenly, and the pitch gradually rose, as if it was warming up.

Batman had heard this voice before, it was the prelude to the Arkham broadcast, chosen by Dean Quincy Sharp himself.

[Good evening! Arkham! Hearing this pleasant voice means you can't escape!] It's the voice of the Joker. He seems to be giving a speech. [Are you ready to party? Today is destined to be a long night. The friends I invited are all over Arkham! Ahahahaha!]

NO94. Botanical Garden

[Can you hear me? Bat? Poor Commissioner Gordon is about to be taken to a new friend of mine. Would you like to come and see him? I'll save you a seat at the party!]

The Joker's speech echoed throughout Arkham, and even Valerie and the others who were about to rush to the botanical gardens heard it.

"That's... Mr. J?"

"Who is it? Is this the guy who did something to Arkham? Is Batman here too? What happened to Gordon?!"

Harvey Dent and Harley Quinn had different expressions and reactions after hearing the Joker's voice.

Valerie ignored all this. She kept her foot on the accelerator and the car drove through the heavy rain and rushed straight to the botanical garden.

"We should...what are you doing?" Harvey was about to say something as he looked at the steps to the botanical garden right in front of him, but he found that Valerie's car did not slow down.

"I don't want to get wet in the rain." As he said that, the car rushed onto the steps, the tires climbing with the power, and the interior of the car bumping up and down with the steps.

The car rushed towards the steps as if it was rushing straight up a slope. In the blink of an eye, it crossed the relatively high and steep steps, flew up like a cannonball, and crashed into the gate of the botanical garden.

The door was smashed as expected, and the glass flew everywhere as if it had been exploded. The car dragged the door frame and rushed through the botanical garden for a while, smashing the flower pots along the way, until it rushed into the hall, broke through the guardrail and fell straight down to the downstairs, and then stopped.

The hall of the botanical garden has three floors, and the first floor is built on the first floor, that is, the second floor is entered from the main entrance.

After the car lock was opened, the two-faced man almost immediately opened the door beside him, ran out of the car impatiently, and touched his chest in shock.

"I was so scared... I thought I was going to fall to my death..." Two-Faced Man's teeth were chattering, but he quickly switched to a calm and gentle tone: "Aren't you fearless?"

"I'm afraid of the sky and the earth!" Two-faced man said the truth, "When I'm in the sky and can see the ground, I'm afraid!"

It probably refers to fear of heights.

Harvey stood up with the help of the wall. "Weren't you fearless in the White Building before? You even took the initiative to jump onto the diving board of the great white shark."

The White Building is much taller than this distance.

"That was then!" grunted the Two-Faced Man.

Harvey probably understood that the experience of almost falling to his death in the White Building left a psychological trauma on the simple-minded two-faced man.

At the same time, Harley also got out of the car, carrying the hose like a monkey, with excitement still on her face: "When can we do it again?"

Valerie, who was still in the car, had a serious expression on her face: "Are you just going to get out of the car like this? What if there's a trap?"

Even as she said this, Valerie kicked open the car door and stood with the two men named Ha.

"We've always come this way." Harry walked to the flower bed nearby and asked, "Has it always been this lush?"

Valerie glanced at the flowerbed, from which various plants, weeds and vines protruded, looking unpruned and overflowing like a wine glass.
