I, V, Gotham Legend

From these hints, Batman could probably guess something.

Mr. Freeze was in her hands, and they had a relatively equal relationship, but now Mr. Freeze wanted his wife back.

Since it would be shown to Mr. Freeze later, she expressed it very vaguely and did not clearly reveal Bruce's identity in that conversation.

Batman wasn't surprised that V would become entangled with Mr. Freeze.

In Gotham, when Batman was discussing with Valerie whether Nora could be cured, she was evasive. It was obvious that she had a way, but she just didn't want Batman to know.

Batman then understood V's strange mentality of trusting but not completely trusting him, but he could express his understanding because he had the same attitude towards V.

The only strange thing is that Valerie could have contacted him directly, but she still used this awkward way to convey the message.

Maybe it's just for fun? Or maybe it's cool or something like that.

Batman felt that this might really be one of the reasons. After all, he already had some understanding of this woman.

Batman picked up the eavesdropping device left by Valerie again, and the sound of conversation inside was intermittent.

He had tried, and there was no way he could track Valerie's direction with the thing.

However, he could roughly guess why Valerie told him the plan.

She wants Bruce to give Nora to her and play Mr. Freeze with her to improve the trust among the gang.

After weighing the pros and cons, Batman decided to cooperate.

Mr. Freeze's freezing technology is ahead of its time. If the research is only done by the group, it is difficult to guarantee that Nora will not have an accident.

Secondly, Valerie’s secret research is also of great concern. Batman has seen the effects of her therapeutic drugs. If her secret research can cure diseases that even her drugs cannot, it will undoubtedly be another great contribution to mankind.

Then, returning Nora to Mr. Freeze would save him from planning terrorist attacks every other day. In Batman's impression, Victor is not a madman who likes chaos like the Joker.

Last but not least, playing as Victor can make V owe you a favor, which may be useful in the future.

This was an unscripted double act. Valerie took the initiative to reveal the attack plan to Bruce. At that time, as long as Batman took advantage of the situation and made a symbolic resistance, and then lost, it would be considered a success.

Batman squatted on the rooftop wall, letting the wind blow his cape.

Logically speaking, he should be prepared to face the attacking gang that is about to approach this side.

But the night in Gotham did not give him time to prepare for the game.

At the edge of the city that Batman was looking down at, there was a sudden series of explosions like a dragon.

The black smoke from the explosion drifted across the rooftops in the distance, and even Batman could see it from the top of Wayne Building.

"Alfred, what happened?"

Batman immediately contacted the old butler.

"The police just sent out information... It was the Joker. He escaped on his way to transfer from Blackgate, took hostages and a car, and blew up the police team escorting him."

Batman sighed inwardly, it seemed like he had no time to play house with V.

"I'm going to capture the Joker first, tell Lucius to take over the building's defenses, and tell him our plan."

Batman made a quick decision and then jumped off Wayne Building and flew in the direction of the explosion.

……

The new front desk staff at Wayne Tower received a peculiar order half an hour ago.

CEO Lucius suddenly issued an order to ensure that the safe passage was open and that warming measures were prepared.

He also specifically instructed all employees not to go too far away from the exit, and to stay as close as possible to a position where they can block about one person.

Just when the staff member was still wondering what was wrong with his boss, he suddenly felt a little cold.

Is the heating broken?

The staff member looked at the heater in the distance, but he still remembered his boss's request and did not go over there, but hid behind the bar.

His decision was correct. The radiator exploded on the spot, but what came out was not flames or water droplets, but light-reflecting icicles.

Starting from this radiator, the entire floor flipped over and layers of bamboo shoot-like icicles exploded from the ground.

The staff realized that this was the same attack style as the famous Mr. Freeze these days, and he was so scared that he hid under the bar.

"lb!"

It seemed like the sound of the door being kicked open, which scared the staff member so much that his back felt cold, but for some reason he secretly stuck his head out and tried to observe what was happening.

I saw a woman with short black hair, wearing sunglasses and a veil and wearing a leather jacket, carrying a gun, walking straight into the room covered with icicles.

"Remember this! Little bugs in Wayne Building! I, Shiva, am here to rob!" Valerie, who was wrapped tightly, shouted wildly in a processed voice.

NO12. Oh, just Batman

The chairman's office of Wayne Building is located on the top floor. After receiving the appointment from Master Wayne, Lucius returned here almost immediately and activated the martial law mode.

This time, besides moving Sleeping Beauty away, V also had the advantage of taking the opportunity to test Wayne Tower's defense system.

After giving orders to ensure that the staff would not be involved in the hostile identification of the defense system, Lucius sat in the boss chair that originally belonged to Wayne.

With beads of sweat sliding down his dark face, Lucius looked at a painting opposite him, which depicted the Wayne family, with young Bruce in the center of the portrait.

This painting must have been hanging there for twenty years, and Master Wayne has never been willing to change it.

Lucius sighed, recalling the time he worked with Old Thomas.

"Crack." The light bulb above my head suddenly went out.

coming soon.

Lucius skillfully hid under the boss's desk.

Water seeped from the ceiling and froze into ice before dripping onto the ground.

Then, the ceiling collapsed layer by layer, and bricks carrying broken ice fell onto the luxurious mahogany floor.

A blue-skinned old man wearing heavy capsule-like armor dropped from the sky, with white steam spewing out of his armor.

“Fox Lucius?!” The capsule armored man kicked over the boss’s desk, exposing the black CEO in front of him.

Lucius knew who he was, the famous Mr. Freeze. According to what Master Wayne told him, Mr. Freeze himself would raid the boss's office at the beginning of the operation and catch the person who could release Sleeping Beauty from the container.

According to the script, Lucius should have been kidnapped obediently, but he didn't want to give up so easily.

"Mr. Fries, maybe you need to rest for a while." Lucius said, pressing a piece of floorboards at his feet.

Layers of thick steel walls rose in front of Lucius, blocking Mr. Freeze out.

Victor was slightly surprised. This was exactly as V said. These big companies had built tortoise-shell-like defenses in their offices.

Fortunately, he was prepared. Mr. Freeze pressed a circle on his armor, then raised his hand to the steel wall and sprayed water like a wash.

The water flow penetrated into the gaps in the steel wall and froze the connecting devices. Then Mr. Freeze pressed his right arm, and the special frost caused the weak devices to break.

The steel wall collapsed in front of Victor like a bookshelf, and the well-dressed black man reappeared.

"Take me to Nora!" Mr. Freeze pointed his gun at Lucius and ordered.

Lucius also felt that the struggle was about enough, so he cooperated and put his hands on his head: "Don't get excited, I'll take you there... She's in the medical department, which is quite far from us. Do you want to take the elevator?"

Victor didn't say much, just gestured for Lucius to lead the way.

After getting the information from Valerie, he knew where Nora was, and asked Lucius to lead the way so that he could stay in sight.

...

Valerie used the improved freezing gun she had invented to freeze several staff members in front of her, and then ran towards the emergency exit.

The battle plan was simple, both sides would charge forward simultaneously, Valerie would break in through the front door, attracting the attention of the only security guards in Wayne Building, and clear a path for easy evacuation.

Victor, on the other hand, goes straight to the source, first captures the person who can control the entire building, and then rescues Nora. If nothing unexpected happens, the two should meet in the freezing laboratory.

But this is just a superficial plan. Valerie knows that Batman knows all her plans, and she is quite curious about what arrangements Batman has made.

The emergency exits of the entire building were conveniently wide open, and Valerie ran in with a gun in hand.

But just as she ran into the emergency exit, the door behind her suddenly closed.

"What is this? Are you trying to scare me?" Valerie thought it was a little ridiculous.

Just then, the camera in the upper right corner suddenly moved and focused on Valerie's head.

"You're really here, V." Batman's voice came from the surveillance camera.

"You've got the wrong person. What V? She sounds like a genius legendary mercenary beauty with a very high IQ. Remember, my name is Shiva." Valerie was very into the role.

Batman ignored Valerie's performance: "...You seem to think that I will definitely agree to your request."

He was referring to Valerie's hint about sending Nora to them.

"For you, it's a perfect solution with no harm at all," Valerie said confidently.

"That may be the case, but you are too confident." Batman was very noisy and seemed to be fighting.

"What do you mean?" Valerie suddenly felt uneasy.

"I can go along with the situation and hand Nora over to you. I also believe that you really have a way to cure her, but the prerequisite is that you can get her yourself - I don't want you to think of me as too cowardly." Batman's serious voice and the sound of breaking bones sounded together.

Valerie understood. In the final analysis, it was just a matter of face: "You are such a weird person. You can give it if you want or not. You make it like a test."

“It’s really a test.”

"Okay, so your test is to talk to me through a camera like this?" Valerie crossed her arms. "Sounds like you're busy over there?"

There was silence on the other end of the voice for a while, and Batman seemed to jump onto something. Familiar laughter and gunshots were heard, but soon they quieted down with the sound of heavy objects hitting each other.

"I really can't get back in a short time, but I know your weaknesses very well."

"Are you kidding?" Valerie was amused. "Everyone who underestimates me will end up in trouble. What's more, even I don't know what my weakness is."

Batman said nothing more, but the wall at the bottom of the camera suddenly shook.

The wall shook and moved, as if something was about to come out from behind.

Valerie crossed her arms proudly, she was the invincible V-Tron, and she had already made up her mind that no matter what cards Batman prepared to deal with her, she would destroy them with the speed and advantage that was in line with the legend.

The wall moved forward about a palm's width and then stopped moving. Valerie was ready to face Batman's so-called big killing weapon.

But she waited for a while and nothing came out.

Valerie felt puzzled, but curiosity made her walk up carefully, squinting her eyes, and gently leaning close to the crack in the wall to observe.

It was pitch black in the cracks in the wall, but there seemed to be something gathering there, reflecting a faint red light. It seemed to be metal, or it could be glass.

But Valerie thought of another possibility, and a primitive fear crept into her heart.

"No way…"

A thumb-sized black oval object rushed in front of Valerie like a bullet. Considering Valerie's dynamic vision, the speed was not very fast, but Valerie hoped it was a bullet.

In her big green eyes, there was a reflection of a big red cockroach flying towards her face.

NO13. Oh, just a V

The scream was like the most shocking explosion, as if it could crush the soul, shocking the world and making ghosts weep.

Valerie never thought that such a loud scream would come from her mouth.

She stepped back almost reflexively, tripped and fell on the stairs, and her hips wrapped in leather clothes came into close contact with the steps.

It was just one cockroach and it wouldn't scare people to this extent, but it seemed that this cockroach triggered some switch, and a large group of cockroaches flew out from the cracks in the wall like a black storm.

A conservative estimate is that there are hundreds of them. Valerie looked at the black "gems" flying towards her in despair. She swears on her life that she has never seen so many and such big cockroaches in her life.

The sound of the cockroaches flapping their wings was like waves, and Valerie could even see the tentacles of these disgusting creatures. She had never hated her own accurate eyes so much.

Fortunately, the cold touch in her hand successfully reminded her that she was still holding the weapon. Valerie raised the freezing gun and poured ammunition at the black cloud approaching her.

Valerie closed her eyes tightly and swung the weapon in her hand like a firefighter, with such ferocity that it seemed as if she was going to use up all the ammunition.

Even when the weapon in her hand stopped firing, she did not release her grip on the trigger. It was not until the cold air blew up the black curtain of hair that she opened her eyes with great nervousness.

There were no insects in sight. A white ice wall sealed the emergency exit, and the ice was so thick that there was no visibility.

There should be no bugs...

Valerie was a little frightened, but then anger ignited her heart.
