chapter 0345 part 3
Parallel Universe!? After thinking for a moment, Batman finally gave up the plan to pursue Harley Quinn and instead shifted his gaze to the high-rise apartment.
Selene might have the answer he needed! On the high-rise apartment Balcony, which had lost its cover, Catwoman played with the metal small sword in her hand, looking meaningfully at her ex-boyfriend as the Bat-jet parked in front of her.
"What, is the famous Batman planning to arrest me? Are you planning to send me to Arkham Asylum?"
Facing Catwoman's sarcastic questioning, Batman frowned. "Selene! I have no Malice, I just need to ask you about some matters!"
"Is it about this sword?" Catwoman spread her hand, and the miniature sword in her hand instantly attracted Batman's gaze.
"Selene, I need to know what's going on with this sword of yours and those skulls Harley Quinn is controlling?"
"Of course I bought it. Did you think it was a gift from you? Even though we dated for so long, I never received any gifts from you!"
Mentioning this, Catwoman looked at this ex-boyfriend with a face full of displeasure.
Although this guy in front of her was a Billionaire on the surface, he was a guy who didn't quite understand women's hearts.
"Selene! The matters concern the safety of Earth, I must know the whole story!"
Hearing her old flame say this, and seeing his serious look, Catwoman hesitated for a moment, but finally shook her Head and said:
"I can't tell you, Bruce Banner. A rule restrains me, I have no method to tell you the reason for this."
Rules? Some kind of magic?
With John Constantine as an "Old Friend", Batman naturally knew some magic. He remembered Constantine once told him that there were several secret-keeping magic that could make people keep secrets.
Presumably, Selene must have signed such a secret-keeping magic. Thinking of the words he heard from Harley Quinn, Batman tentatively changed Direction and asked Catwoman.
"You just said you bought this sword in your hand. Did you use Money or something else?"
"Money can't buy this kind of treasure!" Catwoman put away the miniature sword in her hand. As for what she used to exchange for this sword, she didn't explain it to Batman. This wasn't due to the rule's restraint, but because the things she exchanged for this small sword were not legal.
Last night, while Harley Quinn was having a hangover, Catwoman secretly snuck into Arkham Asylum and used excessive Truth Serum to get the Fear Gas formula from Scarecrow.
The reason she chose this was because the Fear Gas formula was on the list given by that mysterious existence.
Catwoman knew this ex-boyfriend too well. He was a guy who strictly followed rules and law. If he knew that she had secretly gone to Arkham Asylum and used excessive Truth Serum to turn Scarecrow into an idiot, this guy would definitely not consider their past relationship.
As for turning Scarecrow into an idiot, as someone who grew up mixing in the Street Blocks, she had no psychological burden dealing with a villain like Scarecrow.
Hearing Catwoman say this, and thinking of the exchange mentioned by Harley Quinn, Batman was thoughtful. For some reason, John Constantine's face suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Is there anything else? If not, I'll be leaving now!"
Although she said she was leaving, Catwoman's gaze was fixed on the staring blankly Batman, thinking that an invitation for coffee from this stinking man wouldn't be bad either!
"Selene, can I borrow your sword temporarily? I want to research its material and operating principle!" Batman shook his Head, putting his guess aside, and looked at Catwoman.
"No!" Catwoman gave Batman a seductive eye roll and turned to walk back into the Room.
Batman watched Catwoman's figure disappear into the Room and ultimately did not detain her. He controlled the Bat-jet to ascend and sped away towards Wayne Manor.
A moment later, Catwoman stood on the Terrace again, playing with the miniature sword in her hand, staring blankly at the departing Bat-jet in the Sky, lost in thought.
"Oh my God, this is a massacre."
In front of Rose Apartment, the detectives who arrived carried out the bodies from inside and outside the building one by one. Seeing the bodies covered with White Cloth, a young detective couldn't help but exclaim.
More than twenty Gunman Corpse, all tragically killed, made several newly recruited young Police Officer vomit. Even the old detectives who had served as Police Officer for many years in this hellhole Gotham City couldn't stand it.
Although Gotham City's Public Order/Security had been poor these past few years, such vicious gunshot incidents had not occurred for a long time since the inmates of Arkham Asylum increased and Batman conducted continuous high-intensity night patrols.
At this time, Gotham City Police Department Director Gordon, who had received the information, also rushed to the Scene with a group of Police Officer.
The reason he arrived so late was that someone inside the Police Station had deliberately suppressed the information, giving Penguin's Gunman enough time to do their work.
As for why, it was naturally because of Money.
Director Gordon upheld Justice and didn't take dirty Money, but the Police Officer below him still needed to make a living.
So when Gordon received the information, the gunfight was already nearing its end. By the time he arrived at the Scene, all he saw was Corpse scattered everywhere.
Even Gordon, Batman's trusted ally, who had experienced many matters with Batman and faced many difficult Supervillain, was startled when he saw the tragically killed Gunman.
Bodies with smashed heads were one thing; the Police Station received dozens of those every year. But what was going on with these bodies that had been sucked dry of all flesh and blood, leaving only Dried Corpse?
Vampires? That wasn't right either. The Wounds weren't on the Neck. Had Vampires changed to sucking Blood from the Chest now?
Director Gordon lifted the White Cloth covering a body, looking at the Dried Corpse that had been sucked dry of flesh and blood by a Skeleton Demon, completely unable to figure it out.
"Director, the identity of these people has been found out. They are all Penguin's Subordinate!"
A detective came to Director Gordon's side and reported.
Gordon asked, "Penguin's Subordinate? Then who killed these Gunman?"
"We retrieved the nearby Surveillance footage. It was Harley Quinn! Penguin's Subordinate attacked her Residence! Harley Quinn summoned two skulls and killed them all!"
Hearing his Subordinate mention Harley Quinn's name, Gordon's brows furrowed deeply. He wasn't afraid of Harley Quinn, but he feared the Madman Behind one's Back.
As for hearing that Harley Quinn had summoned two skulls, Gordon didn't pay it much mind. Having been a Police Officer in Gotham City for so many years, he had seen too many things that defy logic.
Compared to Scarecrow's Fear Gas, Killer Croc living in the Sewer, the Madman Joker, and those Ninja Assassins, what were two skulls?
"Is there anything else?" Gordon asked with a frown, looking at his hesitant Subordinate.
"That person also appeared at the Scene!"
