Chapter 1 Gotham City, Underground Sewer

A petite figure sped past, and another, even faster figure quickly followed behind her.

After several quick stops and turns, Cai Bupa Ne was forced into a dead end.

Seeing this, Bupa turned around alertly and suddenly attacked without warning. She was still using a long-handled weapon, but the equipment looked much more impressive than the one she held on Hunter Island.

As a non-studio player heavily cultivated by the Jianghu (martial world) community, Bupa was clearly not lacking in equipment.

The Jinglei Chu (Thunderbolt Pestle) swept across, triggering a burst of electricity.

The figure chasing her was also prepared and blocked with his arm. Unexpectedly, the moment he was hit by the electric light, he felt his strength rapidly drain away, and his body went numb.

"Oh? So you have this trick." Qi Sha sneered and immediately shouted, "Too bad it's useless!"

This roar was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky. Qi Sha's body exploded with a surge of fighting energy, crashing towards Bupa like a raging wave.

Bupa knew that the situation was unfavorable. The opponent was much stronger than her, and a direct confrontation would undoubtedly lead to defeat.

In desperation, she suddenly came up with a plan. Using all her strength, she jumped upwards, using the incoming wave of energy, swung the divine weapon in her hand, smashed open the thick concrete above her head, and directly reached the surface.

Above was a road with a lot of traffic...

Suddenly, a large section of the road in the center of the street was lifted like a carpet, and a beautiful woman wielding a huge weapon emerged from below. Passersby and drivers were undoubtedly stunned, and traffic was paralyzed within seconds.

Then, an even more exaggerated scene occurred. As soon as the petite woman stood firm, she thrust the weapon in her hand into the nearest taxi, completely disregarding whether there was anyone inside.

The car was like a steak, and the Jinglei Chu in Bupa's hand was like a fork. She used the weapon to lift the entire car up, roared, and swung the car towards the hole in the road.

After releasing the previous move, Qi Sha paused for a few seconds before rushing forward to chase again. Unexpectedly, when he leaped up, he was met head-on by a large yellow iron block falling down.

When he jumped up, it was only to reach the surface, and he didn't use all his strength. If he knew there would be such an obstruction, he would definitely have punched upwards with all his might, and he might have been able to knock the car back to the ground or smash it into two pieces.

But there are no ifs in this world...

Qi Sha was already in mid-air with no place to borrow strength, so he had to protect his head with his hands and endure the impact. The weight of the car plus Bupa's strength pushed Qi Sha back down into the sewer.

But that wasn't the end of it. After throwing the car, Bupa immediately put away the Jinglei Chu and switched out two Uzi submachine guns from her inventory, firing downwards in a sweeping barrage. Before the bullets ran out, she successfully hit the taxi's fuel tank, causing an explosion.

The brief stun, the disadvantage of being high above, and the sudden continuous attack caused Qi Sha, who had the advantage in strength, to suffer a great loss. Although he had tried his best to crawl out from under the car and escape into the distance when he heard the gunfire, he was still affected by the explosion.

Qi Sha's survival value plummeted to 19%. He quickly swallowed a large survival value recovery potion, ignoring the burns and bleeding effects on his body. He stepped down, bounced, and chased after her again.

This time, Qi Sha jumped very high, but when he passed through the hole in the road and leaped into the air, he could no longer see Bupa's figure.

"Tch... escaped?" Qi Sha spat unhappily. "You really can't let your guard down at all..." He slowly landed, his knees bent, and suffered a little more damage. "Damn it, jumped too high..."

At this moment, the sound of police sirens rang out, and nearby patrol cars had arrived. Two police officers ran over, aiming their guns at him and saying, "Hey! You! Don't move, put your hands where I can see them."

Qi Sha glanced at them and muttered to himself, "Hmph... that little girl smashed things up, but I'm taking the blame..." He ignored the threats from the two police officers, looked around, casually chose a direction that looked pleasing to the eye, tapped his feet, and instantly turned into a blur, rushing out.

The two patrol officers were dumbfounded. They could barely keep up with Qi Sha's movements, but by the time they turned their guns around, he had already run far away. Besides, they weren't confident in hitting a target moving at such high speed. The chances of accidentally hitting a citizen were higher.

"Headquarters, we have a serious situation here! Suspect a violent conflict between super criminals." After they reacted, they quickly returned to the patrol car and reported the situation to headquarters via the radio.

Also in Gotham City, an underground parking garage.

Two figures were facing each other.

So-called experts and strong individuals often share many common ways of thinking. Therefore, less than an hour after entering the script, they had found each other.

"I really didn't expect to run into you first." The man speaking appeared to be twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with short black hair, a tall and straight posture, and a handsome face. Wu Si Can Xuan (Enlightened Death, Comprehending the Mysterious) was wearing a set of ink-colored clothing, a cloak of Order draped over his shoulders, and holding a spray paint can in each hand, the meaning of which was unclear.

"I'm probably the last person you wanted to meet," Shi Po (Shiva) replied. He looked a few years older than the other man, with long hair covering most of his face. The "Deities" uniform couldn't hide his burly figure. His hands were empty, as if he planned to fight hand-to-hand.

"You could say that," Wu Si Can Xuan said. "However... if I want to win this game of slaughter, you are a high wall that must be crossed. Meeting you when I'm in my best condition is also a good thing. It should be a good battle..."

"Are you misunderstanding something?" Shi Po replied coldly. "To you, I should be a mountain."

"Is that so? Heh..." Wu Si Can Xuan dismissed Shi Po's provocation with a cold laugh. "We've fought each other in other games more than once, and I acknowledge your abilities, but..." A strange look flashed in his eyes. "After seeing 'that kid's' battle, I saw a new realm. Compared to him, you are nothing more than this." Wu Si Can Xuan called this reverse taunt, "This is also why you are always being suppressed by him in the combat power rankings."

"Does a higher ranking necessarily mean victory in battle?" Shi Po replied. "You don't need me to tell you how many variables there are in a Thriller Paradise battle."

"I'll return those words to you unchanged, because that's also the reason I'm still standing here at this moment," Wu Si Can Xuan said. "Unfortunately... the 'variables' you speak of have nothing to do with that kid. Don't think you're only one step away from Gui Xiao." Something flashed in his eyes. "Although it looks like just the difference between first and second place, that distance... might be further than the distance between you and the hundredth place."

"Hmph... then..." As Shi Po spoke, eight stone disks appeared behind him, each the size of a palm and slightly different in shape. "Let's witness first-hand just how big the gap between you and me really is..."

............

Also in Gotham City, the "Northern Pure Land" factory.

Feng Bu Jue (Sealed Soul Unawakened) was whistling and leisurely got out of a taxi, stuffed a hundred-dollar bill to the driver, and said smugly, "keepthechange."

The driver thanked him and happily drove away.

An hour had passed since Feng Bu Jue escaped from the bank. In that hour, he had rushed to a newsstand, grabbed a large pile of newspapers, and then opened a room in a small hotel that didn't require identification. While studying the news, he was using the cooldown time to release summoning skills. The things he summoned during this time were mostly about the same strength as the "Hammerhead Crane," small in size, and without any special abilities.

By the way, Feng Bu Jue had grabbed a cash bag of dollars at the bank and put it in his inventory... so buying newspapers, staying in a hotel, and taking a taxi... were naturally not a problem.

"Northern Pure Land... Hmph... you're really something, old Victor." Feng Bu Jue said, looking at the factory in front of him.

The old Victor he was talking about was Mr. Freeze (original name, Victor Fries).

The Cape Crusader event was one of the major DC Comics events, and Feng Bu Jue had read it. He couldn't say he was very familiar with the plot, but as long as he had read it, he could rely on his memory to dig out all the large and small details from the attic of his mind...

Simply put, the plot was that after Bruce Wayne "died" (DC Comics wrote Batman to death to increase sales, and then shamelessly claimed that he had actually time-traveled), the second Robin, Jason Todd, attempted to take over the Batman mantle and replace him. But after Todd was killed by the Joker once (he worked hard to die and come back to life to make money), he lost himself, and the dark side of his personality rose, leading him down an extreme and crazy path.

So, the original Robin, Dick Grayson (who had left Batman to fly solo, leaving Gotham City and coming to Blüdhaven, establishing himself as Nightwing), returned to Gotham City. As Bruce's most optimistic successor, he lived up to expectations (DC gave him a protagonist halo) and eventually defeated Todd, inheriting the Batman mantle.

In this struggle, two other Robins appeared to make cameo appearances. Of course, they were not as good as the two above.

What Feng Bu Jue was concerned about was not the "Cape Crusader" event itself, but rather the several hidden lines that were intertwined behind the Cape Crusader event and that occurred simultaneously...

The first was the conflict between Two-Face and the Penguin; the second was that Black Mask released and controlled the inmates of Arkham Asylum; and the third was the event of Mr. Freeze being arrested by Commissioner Gordon.

And based on the information in the newspapers, at this time, the third event had not yet occurred...
