Chapter 567: I, Joker (6)

Translator: Lonelytree

That night the people of Gotham finally remembered... the fear that once gripped them. This laughter had not echoed through the sky of Gotham for many years already. One day about a decade ago, batman and joker suddenly disappeared together and were never seen again. And tonight, these two characters were about to be revived—for real.

“Cough... this thing... is definitely not the person that I captured...” When the Bruce landed, he still appeared calm. After his breathing returned to normal, he immediately opened his cape and activated the gliders and flew up the roof of the nearby building. At the same time, he used the communication fixed into his right face to contact the control centre at the castle. “Gordon, did you people see that?”

“Ye... yes...” Gordon replied with a shaking voice. “The floaters have captured everything...”

“Are there anything you need to tell me?” Bruce pressed.

“Erm...” Gordon was stumped.

“Klibon! Say something!” The Bruce demanded.

“We are still analyzing, sir.” Klibon’s voice soon came, “But based on current situation, there are two things that you need to be careful about... first, when he was flying in the air, he was not using any floatation device; two, his speed and strength are about 30 percent higher than your maximum.” He paused for a moment. “Hmm... Just a head’s up, that Harley Quinn is not weaker than this man.”

“Damn it... what is going on?” The Bruce growled.

“Sir, I believe... the time for game is over.” Klibon answered.

“Don’t you think I know that?!” The Bruce shouted back angrily.

Hong—

At that moment, a loud crash distracted his attention. The Bruce turned to look and saw that his aircraft had crashed into the bay. And the ‘Joker’ had managed to rescue Two Face from the flying saucer.

“Klibon, ready the battle suit, I will have to use it when I return.” The Bruce knew that there was no chance of winning if he charged at his opponent head on so he quickly changed his directly and flew back to his own castle. “Gordon, gather the team of Robins and get them to be ready for battle.”

“Yes sir.” The two responded.

“Meet you later.” The Bruce said and ended the call. Even though he looked collected on the surface, a seed of fear had sewn in his heart. [Who is that ‘Joker’? Or what is he? Is there really ghost in this world? And they have... resurrected tonight?]

...

At the same time, on the other side of the city.

[I have not seen those vulture like cameras for a while already...] Ruoyu was hopping through the roofs and thought to herself. [Those patrolling shuttles are only tailing me from very far behind and do not have the courage to come any closer...] Her eyes swept every dark corner and every street. [There should be part of the fixed surveillance that can locate my movement, but... currently everyone’s focus should be pulled by Bujue...]

Ruoyu naturally saw what Feng Bujue had done on the big screen. She had no idea whether Brother Jue had another meaning behind his action or he was just having fun. In any case, her goal was clear, it was to follow the hint from earlier and headed towards the police station.

“What about it?” Xiao Tan asked in confusion, “Isn’t it a good thing to clear a scenario?”

“What is so good about that...” Feng Bujue said, “It is not that often that we run into a scenario with such a low difficulty boss and such a great freedom. If we leave just like that, it will be such a waste.”

“Oh...” Xiao Tan contemplated. “You’re right, if the scenario ended so quickly, there would be little EXP and game Coins as well as Skill Points, in that case, better stay in the scenario to explore for equipment and skill cards.”

“Bingo.” Feng Bujue said, “Alright, now, the first step is...” He pointed at an electric pole by the side of the road, “Go and touch that exposed electrical box.”

“Why would I do that?” Xiao Tan gasped in panic. “I was about to ask you about that... why did you recite some poem and electrocute yourself earlier? What were you thinking?”

“The poems were to transmit information.” Feng Bujue replied calmly. “The electrocution...” He raised his hand, used both his pointing and middle finger to tap at his temple, “is to destroy the embedded chip inside the brain.”

“What chip?” Xiao Tan pressed.

“Stop wasting time. It’s not like you will understand it even if I explain it to you.” Actually, the truth was Feng Bujue did not know how the thing worked himself. “Just go and electrocute yourself.”

“Fine...” Xiao Tan sighed helplessly. Then he walked to stand before the electrical box. The sleeve blade bounced out and he used it to pry the box open. “Erm...” He turned back to ask, “So I only needed to touch it and let go like you did?”

“Isn’t that a given? Place your hand there for a few more seconds and you’ll be transported out from the scenario in a white light.” Feng Bujue answered.

Hearing that, Xiao Tan’s face was pulled long. After a few seconds of internal conflict, he gritted his teeth and reached his hand into the box.

“Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah...”

Pat!

“Ah your head!” Feng Bujue walked forward and slapped him on the back of his head. “Don’t you know simple science? Plastic switches won’t conduct electricity. Why are you screaming when you were just holding them?”

“Hmm?” Xiao Tan turned to look, “Oh, I was wondering how come I did not feel anything...”

“Touch this place.” Feng Bujue pointed out the correct spot. “Here, see it or not.”

“Oh.” Xiao Tan nodded as he reached his finger out again.

Pat!

Brother Jue whacked him again.

“What now?”

“Gloves! Gloves! Gloves!” Feng Bujue roared and he launched into a flying kick at Xiao Tan.

“Okay okay... sorry, sorry...” Xiao Tan quickly removed his gloves, took a deep time, and reached his hand into the box again.

This time, he was finally sent flying by the sparks of electricity that surged through his body...
