Red flying sword!
Weapons, as a means of improving strength, were not as practical as directly strengthening physical attributes, but Bai Ye still had to say two words—awesome!
A red quality, no matter what it was, was likely to be a good thing. It was just that Yong Zhen Nan Huang looked a bit strange, a giant stone that resembled a sword...
However, as long as it could be used, it was fine. Furthermore, judging by the literal meaning of its effect, Yong Zhen Nan Huang had no direct attack effects, but each effect was extremely domineering.
The only drawback might be Heng Dao Li Ma, not because of any problem with its effect, but because...
The effect of reducing the power of any attack by 50% and increasing the effect of defense by 150% required a prerequisite...
Having a defensive method!
Bai Ye pondered for a moment. He didn't seem to have any defensive methods, so this was quite awkward.
But even ignoring this effect, Yong Zhen Nan Huang was still very strong. And since the red gacha had appeared, Bai Ye figured he didn't need to specially spend a God Stone Shard to draw a gold gacha.
After all, with Yong Zhen Nan Nan Huang and the Poison-Poison Fruit, having two red gachas at his side, Bai Ye felt that he should be sufficient to handle most situations for now.
"Well done!"
With this thought, Bai Ye couldn't help but pat Fatty's shoulder, deciding to save the last chance for unexpected needs. God Stone Shards were something that should be saved whenever possible.
After drawing the gacha, the next thing to do was to wait!
Bai Ye glanced at the wall clock and murmured, "It should be starting soon, right?"
...
The City of Sin, Investigation Bureau!
In a dark room, the Joker sat alone on a chair, his hands cuffed. His face, smeared with greasepaint, looked somewhat eerie and sinister under the dim light. 138 Reading Network
Suddenly, the Joker seemed to sense something, turned his head towards the camera on the side, and grinned.
Director Gordon couldn't help but frown. Seeing the Joker's calm demeanor, he had a bad premonition. This was not the attitude of a criminal who had been arrested.
But the Joker was already imprisoned. What problem could there be?
That detention room was specially made, with reinforced walls. Inside, apart from steel bars, it was also inlaid with metal plates. Forget about firearms, even a rocket launcher might not be able to blow it open. And the door to the detention room was a vault door of the same specifications as a bank vault, bulletproof, corrosion-resistant, high-temperature resistant, and freeze-resistant, making it almost impossible to open by violent means.
Director Gordon thought this way, telling himself to calm down, telling himself everything would be fine, and the Joker definitely couldn't escape.
But at this moment...
A hoarse voice suddenly sounded behind Director Gordon.
"Let me in!"
In an instant, the agents standing around Director Gordon were shocked. They drew their guns and aimed them behind Director Gordon, then heaved a sigh of relief. The man who suddenly appeared was Batman.
Director Gordon couldn't help but ask, "Why are you here?"
Batman pointed at the monitor and said, "Find him, and let me in."
Director Gordon heard the urgency in Batman's voice and couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
"Rachel and Harvey are missing. It must be him!" Batman showed some anxiety, suddenly grabbed Director Gordon's clothes, and shouted, "Let me go ask him, or it will be too late!"
Director Gordon reached out to stop the approaching agents, saying, "Calm down, calm down!"
Batman took a deep breath and said, "It will be too late if we delay any further. Let me go ask him."
Director Gordon nodded, then said, "Open the door."
Batman said, "Turn off the cameras."
"This is not compliant..." Director Gordon hesitated, but still nodded, "Turn off the cameras."
Soon, Batman entered the detention room.
The Joker looked up, smiled, and waved, "Hi!"
The next moment, Batman's fist landed on the Joker's face, knocking him to the ground. Then he grabbed the Joker and slammed him hard onto the table.
Batman grabbed the Joker by the collar and roared, "If you want to kill me, then come at me!"
"Kill you? Haha, no, no, no..." The Joker laughed exaggeratedly, "Why would I want to kill you? If I kill you, what will I do? Keep extorting those gangsters? Or play with those hoodlums? No, I don't want that. It's you who made me more complete!"
Batman roared, "You're just trash who kills for money!"
"You think so?" The Joker smiled, "Don't be like those people, saying the same things as them. In their eyes, you are also a monster, just like me. Now, it's just because they need you. When they don't need you anymore, they will try their best to avoid you. Their morals, their principles, are all rotten jokes. You know, we are not monsters, we are just superior..."
Batman showed impatience, grabbing the Joker's clothes and lifting him up, "Don't spout this nonsense to me. Tell me, where are Rachel and Harvey!"
"If you want to play this game, you have to follow the rules..."
*Bang!*
Batman unhesitatingly threw a punch.
"Choose one of two, you can only save one..."
*Bang!*
The Joker's response was still Batman's fist.
"Are you going to save your little girlfriend, or support your ally in fighting crime? Hahaha, look at you now, so angry..."
*Bang!*
Batman raised his fist and swung again. Blood flowed from the Joker's lips.
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you, but you have to make a choice," the Joker said. "He's on 25052nd Street, and your little girlfriend is on Ace Street."
*Bang!*
Batman punched the Joker to the ground again, then quickly walked out of the detention room.
Director Gordon, who was waiting at the door, caught up with Batman and asked, "Which one are you going to save?"
Batman said as he walked, "Rachel!"
"I'll go save Harvey," Director Gordon called out to the other agents, "Go, go, go, everyone grab your gear and follow me."
...
Bai Ye stood by the window, looking in the direction of the Investigation Bureau.
Soon, the silence of the night was broken by the piercing sound of sirens. Shortly after, Batman rushed out of the Investigation Bureau on his Bat-cycle, followed by a large team of police cars roaring out, heading in different directions.
"It's finally starting."
Bai Ye curved his lips, then moved away from the window and patted Fatty's shoulder.
Bai Ye said, "What's your name?"
Fatty blinked and replied, "Dyak."
"Okay, Dyak, it's nice to meet you," Bai Ye said with a smile. "I wish you a happy life."
After speaking, Bai Ye walked to the door, elegantly bowed to Fatty, and then closed the door as if he had never appeared.
