I, V, Gotham Legend

She had just jumped in when she saw a police officer pointing a gun at another of his colleagues.

Although she didn't know what was going on, she pulled out her pistol and shot the gun out of the policeman's hand, then she jumped in front of the policeman.

"What happened? Did you see the bat?" Valerie asked, grabbing the policeman's shoulders.

Then she saw a look of astonishment on the policeman's face.

"Are you poisoned?"

Valerie roughly understood the situation. However, although she knew that the police were affected by the poison gas, she was still a little hurt when this guy stared at her as if he had seen something disgusting.

So Miss V took out the Savage King's sledgehammer and hit the guy so hard that he was knocked unconscious, and even the floor cracked.

"It's just anesthesia, please forgive me." Valerie apologized sincerely.

"It's fast, V." Batman suddenly appeared, kicked down the people around him, and said to Valerie, "Do you have a way to knock these people down in an instant?"

"It has to be non-lethal, right? You know how to make things difficult for people." Valerie said speechlessly.

Then, her arms ejected mantis blades and struck them together.

A circle of electric arc spread out from her as the center, and she tried her best to reduce the current.

The electric current spread to the people around, paralyzing their bodies.

Batman took the opportunity to run to them and punched them one by one, physically anesthetizing the last few policemen standing just like Miss V.

After knocking down everyone, Batman finally stopped moving, but he was still gasping for breath.

"V, can you treat those who have been shot?"

"I suggest you call the emergency hotline first. I can only take out two tubes of medicine at a time." Valerie squatted down obediently, took out the medicine, and gave it to a few people who looked like they were about to die.

Batman nodded. He had already arranged for Alfred to call Arkham Hospital.

Although it is a mental hospital, it is a prison for mentally ill criminals after all, and it also has an emergency surgery department to prevent medical staff from being helpless after being attacked by violent patients.

"Oh! Is this what it is?" Valerie suddenly looked up and blinked.

"what happened?"

"This thing on my head keeps spraying mist, which blocks my vision, so I turned it off." Valerie said, turning around and pointing at a nozzle above her head.

She once disabled a fire extinguisher at a film studio by scanning it with her eyes.

At the time, she thought it was due to her hacking ability with an IQ of level 5, but later, as she got to know herself better, she realized that she relied on her technical ability.

"Did you do this? Use this to block these guys' sight and make it easier for you to fight?" Valerie asked with interest.

"No, this is Scarecrow's poison gas." Batman shook his head.

Valerie's expression froze. She didn't feel anything, so she thought it was a smoke bomb or something.

"No way? Then I am poisoned?" Valerie wanted to check her physical condition.

"You don't look like you're poisoned," Batman mused.

"Could it be because I'm fearless?" Valerie's big eyes sparkled.

Batman didn't answer. He squatted down and performed simple hemostasis on several wounded soldiers who had not yet received medicine.

He still didn't feel the same way he did when he was poisoned before. Considering that not long ago, the Scarecrow didn't seem to be affected at all.

The fear gas may not be as strong as imagined, but what is the reason for making oneself resistant? Is it V's medicine? Scarecrow himself has never used that medicine.

"It happens again!" Valerie suddenly shouted, then walked to another person who was bleeding not far from Batman, squatted down and gave him medicine.

"Isn't there no more?" Batman frowned.

"Yeah, it takes about a minute to make another tube." Valerie said helplessly.

"Can't we make some more reserves before the battle?"

"I'd like to think so, if it's still possible in 1.6." Valerie said something Batman couldn't understand, "Now it's like there's some divine obstruction... You can think of it as only allowing two of these drugs to exist at the same time in this world."

Valerie spoke in a mysterious way, as if it were some setting in a game.

Batman found it hard to understand, but he took Valerie's words to heart.

Believe it or not is another matter, but if it is true, it can perhaps be seen as one of her weaknesses.

After taking the medicine, Valerie stood up again and stretched her muscles.

"What to do next? Are we going to catch the scarecrow again? Has he already hidden himself?"

She didn't see Crane, but she could guess that the Scarecrow had escaped.

"There may be some accomplices of Scarecrow in this insane asylum who haven't been caught yet." Batman shook his head.

"You mean Deadshot? I've got him tied up."

"No, Deadshot is just a hired help." Batman shook his head. "Scarecrow's accomplice should be a senior staff member of the asylum, at least he has the authority to transform the building."

"Uh...why?" Valerie asked confusedly.

"Scarecrow doesn't have a controller, but he can spray poison gas, and so can Deadshot." Batman simply explained.

"Yes...that's it..." Valerie didn't understand.

Batman recalled the first time he subdued Scarecrow on the first floor of the hospital wing. At that time, Crane's whole body was unable to move, but he still managed to spray the poison gas above his head smoothly.

Moreover, the asylum had only been reopened for two days, yet they had managed to install devices for spraying poison gas in at least two known buildings. Especially in the abandoned building, the range of the poison gas extended over an entire floor.

And there was the bullet that Dead Shot hit him. He didn't think that someone could snipe him from three floors without seeing him at all and having never met him before.

There is only one explanation, there is a third person who is watching all this.

I thought Scarecrow was just a minor character who committed crimes by poisoning, but now it seems that things are becoming more and more troublesome.

PS: I saw a comment asking about this and realized that I had not mentioned this before. The protagonist has not played the DLC. She traveled through time not long after 2.0 was updated, so she is only level now, and her dashboard is not full. She also does not have a complete understanding of her own abilities, and does not even know how to upgrade the relic.

Also, I saw a lot of people asking why I don’t use certain weapons, because I have always played swords, and after the big update, I only use the mantis sword, so I don’t know much about the awesome ranged weapons. (sweat)

In fact, this is also the inspiration for this book. Sword Style really feels like a superhero...

But since some people want to watch it, the plot will increase the role of weapons later, so I'll go try other schools.

NO27. Miss V's big failure

Although he is already the commissioner, Gordon still personally leads the police team to Arkham. In addition to arresting Batman, this is also a good reason for the police to enter the asylum armed.

He had not forgotten the clue about the scarecrow that Valerie had provided him, but he was just troubled by the lack of a suitable reason for the government to approve the search.

The lighthouse of Gotham Port pointed the way, and Gordon mobilized a large police force. People who didn't know the truth thought that a riot had occurred somewhere.

The police station divided into three routes to enter Arkham Asylum. In addition to the regular team going to the island from the bridge, there were also three routes to go to the island by police helicopter and speedboat.

According to the information left by the police force stationed on the island before they lost contact, Batman kidnapped a doctor in an abandoned building in Area B.

They soon arrived at Area B, where a large number of police forces surrounded the abandoned building.

At this time, the white fog and poisonous gas that filled the entire floor had dissipated, and the crazy or unconscious prison guards were tied together outside.

Due to limited time, Valerie did not give injections to everyone, but only saved a few people who were shot and were dying.

The crazy police officers who had already woken up were still screaming in fear, which made Gordon frown.

The situation of these people looks somewhat familiar.

Gordon recalled his conversation with Valerie in the hospital, where she said the Scarecrow was hiding in the asylum.

"Batman seems to have left, Chief, what should we do next?" a police officer asked Gordon.

"Did you see that plane of his?" Gordon asked.

"No…"

"Then he is still on the island." Gordon concluded, "Seal off this place and search it thoroughly, especially the psychiatrist's office..."

"Yes!" Although the police officers didn't know why the chief emphasized the psychologist, they only needed to follow orders.

Gordon nodded.

Although it is common sense that the words of illegal mercenaries cannot be trusted, so far, the only clues about the Scarecrow are the few words provided by Valerie.

"You guys go patrol over there, I'm going to get some fresh air." After sending the people on both sides away, Gordon walked to an alley alone.

The director lit a cigarette and made no other moves, as if he was waiting for something.

"Plop." The sound of something falling to the ground.

Gordon turned around and saw a gun barrel-like device falling not far away.

Batman crouched on the alley wall and stared into Gordon's eyes.

"Are you showing up to surrender yourself?" Gordon took the cigarette out of his mouth.

"You're waiting for me." Batman's tone was certain.

"I'm really crazy." Gordon admitted Batman's guess, "I guess you came here for Scarecrow?"

"...Jonathan Crane, the psychiatrist hired by Quincy Sharp, is the Scarecrow, who stole Gotham's clean energy to make fear gas." Batman explained to Gordon everything that was known so far.

"I'll have my men pay special attention to Klein's office."

"I've been there before you came." Batman jumped down from the wall, "And he should have helpers in the upper echelons of the asylum."

"I've sent people to seal off this place and will investigate thoroughly... Do you seem to have anything else to say?"

"On top of that, someone smuggled a dirty bomb into Gotham."

"Dirty bomb?" Gordon already felt a stomachache. Bad news came one after another.

Batman nodded. He took out a photo from his belt. On it was a green question mark trophy. "If you have any clues about this, you can tell me."

"Okay," Gordon agreed, thus forming an alliance with the law-breaking vigilante.

I really hope there will be a day when things will stop...

Gordon looked at the lighthouse guiding the direction on the distant sea and picked up the half-burned cigarette again.

Exhaling a puff of light smoke, he suddenly remembered something.

"How can I contact you..."

When he turned around, he saw no one.

The night is dark and only the wind is howling.

Gordon felt that if they were going to work together for a long time in the future, he should get used to this kind of thing.

……

Valerie did not choose to go home immediately after parting with Batman.

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. She plans to dig a base underground in Arkham Island and then build a cross-sea tunnel to Gotham.

Maybe he could use this as a starting point to build his own underground transportation network underneath the entire Gotham City, and then he could do any job faster than Batman.

Once Batman's money arrives, you can even build a subway or something.

The more Valerie thought about it, the more excited she became. She wandered around Arkham Island stealthily and quickly, trying to find a place with fewer buildings to build the drilling machine she had been dreaming of.

She hopped and ran to a place covered with black soil. There were no buildings around. There was only an open space between two barren hills. No police had come here yet.

Valerie disassembled the weapons she had seized from Deadshot into materials, and then used the materials to make a drill for drilling.

She planned to take a look at the soil quality of the land first.

Valerie pushed the drill into the soil with force, turning up a layer of frozen soil.

"Damn, dick..." Although Valerie tried her best to keep the noise down, the sound of the drill poking the soil was still very noisy.

The dust was flying everywhere, as if there were bombs buried there, and even Valerie's clean clothes were stained. Fortunately, she could make many sets.

Something like a stone scraped Valerie's face, and she reached out to wipe it off.

But after her fingers touched the "stone", Valerie felt that the touch was a little wrong.

It's cool and smooth, yet round and crispy.

"No way..." Valerie realized what it was, but she still didn't give up. She picked up the thing with two fingers and put it in front of her eyes to observe.

It was a cockroach, and it looked dead. It must have been thrown into his face like any other stone.
