Chapter 565: I, Joker (4)
Translator: Lonelytree
Suddenly an urgent series of footsteps that came from the corner before her interrupted Laughing Soul’s thought. At the same time, several light source came from that direction.
[Are those soldiers?] Laughing Soul thought. [They must have already seen my flashlight... it is too late to switch off my flashlight now, it will only affect my visibility...] She aimed her gun ahead. [O well, there is no other choice...] But several seconds later, the footsteps stopped around the corner but no one showed up.
“Poison ivy.” A man’s voice said, “is that you?” His voice was not that loud but it echoed far down the wide underground sewer. It sounded like... he was asking a question.
“We mean no harm.” The next second, a female voice said, “We want to help you.”
“Who are you people?” Laughing Soul still had not put her guard down, if anything, she became more guarded.
“My name is Joe.” The man replied, “Joe Collins.”
“I am Marya.” The woman added. “We are rebels against the tranny of the Bruce, we are here to help you.”
Laughing Soul thought for a few seconds and then replied, “Come out into the open, let me see you.”
“We can do that, but we hope that you won’t shoot at us.” Joe said.
[No wonder they do not come out directly, they know that I am armed...] Once Laughing Soul heard that, she reacted instantly. Her eyes darted about and two seconds later, inside a crevice at the top of the cave that was not that obvious... she spotted a camera.
Bang
Laughing Soul kept the rifle raised with one hand while her own hand reached into the gun pouch by the side of her waist with lighting speed to take out a pistol and fired. The bullet accurately hit the camera and caused a spark.
“Oh, my god! What has she done?” Another man’s voice came from the other corner. No one was fast enough to answer him because...
“Do not move!” When Laughing Soul said that, she had already closed the 10 metres distance between them and appeared before the few people. The people hid at the corner were all grasped in shock when they saw this. One second earlier, they were shocked at the camera image that suddenly disappeared and the next second Poison Ivy already appeared right before them.
“Put down your weapon.” Laughing soul pointed her rifle at them and said threatening. “I will only count to two, one...”
Quality: Normal
Function: Block the tracing chip signal of the chip inside one’s brain
Whether it can be taken out of the scenario: No
Remark: The function covers 2 metres, it will still be effective when placed inside one’s inventory.
After accepting this thing, the identity of the three could 100 percent be confirmed already.
“Thank you.” After Laughing Soul took the device, she put it directly into her inventory.
“Oh my god, what have they done to your body?” Marya widened her eyes at Laughing Soul. From her perspective, Laughing soul naturally looked like the Poison Ivy. Her skin was green and she wore a green and black tight, it looked like a gymnastic costume with open back. But the scary thing was... the surface of Poison Ivy’s body was covered with many leaf life materials and they were sewn into her skin like scales. The scene where Laughing Soul put the item into her inventory from the perspective of the rebels, was like she had shoved the thing directly into a pile of scales around her waist. Marya’s skin was covered in goosebumps.
“I don’t know...” Laughing Soul shrugged and had no comment. “Alright, now that the signal has been blocked, what to do next?”
“We plan to go and rescue the others.” Joe looked at Laughing Soul and said. “You...” He paused. “I do not know how you did what you did earlier but your marksmanship is out of this world, will you be willing to help us?”
...
At the same time, at the bay of Gotham. Two face played by Xiao Tan was slowly forced into a corner. The man who was busy escaping had no time to do anything else so he was still strapped to the flying saucer and scurried around like a rat. He was chased until he was dizzy around the many skyscrapers and interconnecting streets. Tens of thousand of mob were throwing everything that they could get on at him.
At the same time, Gordon’s face appeared on the livebroad screen. “Two face is always brought down... defeated... destroyed...” he started a lecture in his stern face. “by his own ambivalence...”
Following his lecture, a bat aircraft appeared in the night sky. This time, it was clear that it was the appearance of the real The Bruce.
“A committed villain is deadly.” Gordon said, “Just as you who are committed in faith are the true servants of the bat. Two face remains uncommitted... even to his own evil.”
When his spoke, Xiao Tan’s flying saucer suddenly lost control...
“What is happening!” Xiao Tan’s heart squeezed in shock. The flying saucer under his feet appeared to be taken over by someone else and it started to spin out of control even though the man tried to control it.
“As the coin flips, his power wanes...” Gordon’s words continue to echo, “upright again, the might of his hatred is awesome! But the power never lasts! Ambivalence is his downfall. For he knows not the power of faith!”
At this point, Xiao Tan’s flying saucer broke through its height limit and burst into the air in an inverted manner.
Just like... a coin that was tossed into the air.
