Chapter 24: Mage?

Luo Yajun gasped as the rancid air filled his lungs and coughed violently. He didn't see the black shadow falling from the sky until he recovered.

That's when he realized that it wasn't some bat monster, but that it looked like a person. It's just that the person who saved him deliberately dressed himself up as a bat.

What kind of psychopath would dress himself up like this?

But he's not just a lunatic, but a rich one.

Although it was difficult to see the details clearly under the flickering lights, Luo Yajun could tell from such a rough glance that the equipment on this weirdo was not cheap.

The armor looked like some kind of very pull-resistant fiber material, and the key parts were equipped with reinforced armor plates. With a little visual inspection, he felt that the bulletproof and explosion-proof performance of this toy must be stronger than their usual armor.

Luo Yajun soon thought that witnesses in the Klein Building also said they saw a bat-shaped monster. So unless there is a second lunatic in this city who likes to pretend to be a bat and go out in the middle of the night, it should be this person in front of him.

"Guan Ye," who was kicked out, stood up and twisted his neck joints in a strange posture.

"Huh? What are you?" He grinned and looked at the other party with his head tilted.

At the same time, Batman—or Chu Cheng, who was watching this through the screen behind him—was also looking at him cautiously at the moment.

This scene that caused physical discomfort, coupled with the man's weird smile and the crazy filter of the incident from beginning to end, naturally reminded Chu Cheng of Batman's only well-known enemy, the Joker.

It's not easy being Batman. A clown that turned Gotham upside down on a regular basis was the Joker. Known as Batman's archnemesis, even in a different world, it seems Batman cannot escape the fate of fighting a clown villan.

Chu Cheng felt that if he were Batman, he might be cursing secretly, but the clown is still chasing me.

"Be careful." Luo Yajun said, "This guy is not easy to deal with."

Although he wasn't sure what the origin of the guy dressed like a bat was, judging from the signs so far, it was obviously more likely that the other party was friendly.

But the situation is still not optimistic.

This lunatic dressed as a bat may also be an infected person, or maybe a special person. But he doesn't think this bat is a match for the clown.

Because he had just personally experienced it, he knew that the power of this "Guan Ye" was one of the best, even among the infected. Among all the agents of the Ninth Branch of the Secret Service, Luo Yajun himself has a fairly high level of infection. Except for the superpowers who have awakened special abilities, there are few in the Ninth Branch who are better than him in terms of physical quality.

While his thoughts were spinning, "Guan Ye" had rushed forward on his own initiative. He was very fast, and he rushed to Batman in an instant, and he stretched out his blood-stained palm to touch it.

Batman had no expression on his face; he only stepped aside a little bit, and his five fingers almost brushed the tip of his nose. Following him, he lowered his center of gravity, suddenly stretched out his right hand from under the cloak, and pressed his palm on "Guan Ye"'s chest.

The next moment, under Luo Yajun's astonished gaze, "Guan Ye" flew backwards with a low bang, knocked over a parked car with a bang, and smashed into the door of a car, causing it to roll over.

Luo Yajun: !!?!!?

What kind of power is this?

Even for the infected, isn't this kind of power too outrageous?

Loking at the weirdo pretending to be a bat, he stood there calmly with his hands hidden under the cloak. He gave a calm and steady feeling, and it seems that his earlier attack took no effort at all.

Detective Luo looked at him with complicated eyes.

But he didn't know that Batman was not an infected person at all, nor did he have superpowers. It's just that he was rich and very skilled.

As the saying goes, the poor rely on mutation and the rich rely on technology, and Batman is undoubtedly a model of the latter.

Although he is not like the rich man next door who puts a tin can on his body all day long to show justice from heaven, there are many useful props in Batman's multi-functional belt.

For example, what Batman used just now is a one-time spray micropropeller. On the surface, it looks like an inconspicuous little button, but once the switch is activated, a powerful tail flame will be ejected from the "little button," causing a burst of power.

The usage of this can include propelling both enemies and objects around, making it a low-cost propulsion blast like a low-budget Iron Man.

Master Wayne had a lot of gadgets in the Batcave. During the tutorial, Chu Cheng spent a whole day learning and memorizing the functions and usages of each piece of equipment in the simulation.

Many gadgets were not in the original game, but as he learned more, he found that everything in his utility belt had some kind of usage.

But there is an issue where players cannot bring everything due to the sheer amount of gadgets Batman has.

Chu Cheng never thought that capacity could be a problem for Batman; after all, most characters now have some kind of invention, making storing items easy.

T/N- Original {Chu Cheng never thought that capacity could be a problem for Batman. After all, since the second dimension came out with a blue fat man with a four-dimensional pocket, the four-dimensional chrysanthemum has become a standard accessory for anime characters.} Is the shorter version better, or should I keep the original?

Although Batman doesn't have this ability, he has a black technology belt. It seems that the belt with just a few small grids, like in film and television animation, gives the effect of an inventory. It may carry darts, grenades, hooks, guns, respirators, flash bombs, smoke bombs, etc. You can even flip through it from inside.

But fantasy is beautiful, and reality is harsh. The game ruthlessly reminds Chu Cheng that Batman can only carry twelve pieces of equipment at a time, except for the grapple gun. No matter how much it costs, the multifunctional belt will not fit.

Therefore, players need to choose in advance what equipment to use before each battle. Normally, you can return to the Batcave to change gear at any time, but not during battles and missions.

After being hit like this, any normal person's bones would probably fall apart, but "Guan Ye" was still unscathed. He quickly got up from the other end of the car, with a smile still on his face.

"Ha, interesting little trick. But..."

Batman waved his hand before he finished speaking, and a mass of light blue light immediately drew a parabola and threw it towards "Guan Ye.".

"Guan Ye" dodged flexibly, but he didn't expect that the thing would be like a magnet. When it was close to "Guan Ye,"  it flew towards him as if it were attracted by a magnet and stuck to his torso.

Zizizi~

That small object released a powerful electric current, and countless electric snakes visible to the naked eye immediately wrapped around the whole body of "Guan Ye,"  causing him to convulse and emit black smoke. The electric shock gadget can attach to the target and release a powerful electric shock.

But after a burst of convulsions and being covered in black smoke, "Guan Ye" tilted his neck and continued to walk towards this side with a crooked body. His skin was burned and cracked in many places, and his body smelled of scorched flesh. His facial muscles were stiffened by the electric shock, but his smile became even more ferocious.

Chu Cheng raised his eyebrows.

Can you still move after this? This blood bar is really thick.

That being the case...

Batman waved his hand again.

boom.

A spherical object suddenly exploded at the feet of "Guan Ye,"  and a large amount of gel was released instantly, expanding at an astonishing speed.

The black technology gel developed by the Wayne Group is usually compressed in a spherical bomb in an ultra-high concentration gel. The moment the metal shell is detonated, the high-concentration gel will expand rapidly around a target when it comes into contact with air.

And the end result is like this:.

"Guan Ye" was engulfed in the swelling gel, like being stirred into a ball of cotton. The gel quickly solidifies and shapes in three seconds, standing there like a sculpture.

"Guan Ye" was completely trapped in the sculpture. He still maintained the posture of reaching out; his palm was struggling to get out of the gel, and his five fingers were caught at a position that was only a hair's breadth away from Batman's mask. I froze, unable to move.

Batman stood there expressionless, neither moving nor dodging, as if everything was under control.

Luo Yajun looked at the bat monster and was speechless for a while.

So... this guy turned out to be a mage?
