Shiva and Qisha, after escaping the prison transport, joined forces, threatening the lives of the surrounding officers to temporarily force Nightwing back, successfully escaping capture. Of course, from that moment on, they were basically completely at odds with the righteous side in the script.

The time they spent captured was like a rest for them. Although they expended some energy during the escape, overall, their "two stats" were almost full.

With their abilities, and in peak physical condition, they could leap freely through the steel and concrete jungle like superheroes. The distances between building rooftops were nothing to them. They could even perform the kind of building-to-building leaps seen in *The Matrix*.

Therefore, after successfully escaping, the two went their separate ways, quickly disappearing into the night.

We'll leave Qisha's destination for now and focus on Shiva.

Among the six players, Feng Bujue wasn't the only one who had read the *Cape Contest* comic; Shiva also knew the general plot. However, he was confident in his combat skills and aimed to win that way, so he hadn't planned to interact too much with the storyline characters.

But now, the situation was different. Facing an opponent like Feng Bujue who loved to play tricks, Shiva naturally couldn't be too straightforward, or he'd suffer a great loss.

After confirming that he had shaken off any pursuit, he first found a place with internet access and began gathering intelligence.

The internet was flooded with news about "otherworldly visitors," and the most-clicked video on video sites was "Nameless's" production, "The Death of Robin."

Shiva watched the video and read some news reports, gaining a certain understanding of Feng Bujue's actions during this period. Without a doubt, "Nameless" was [Mad Detective], and this kid's appearance could now be confirmed.

And he believed that the most critical piece of information was that this Mad Detective had not yet been captured.

Shiva and Qisha were referred to in the news as "Otherworldly Criminals A and B." News of their capture, and even their escape, could be found online. But that "Nameless," that madman who scattered money in the streets, killed police officers, and killed Robin, the news did not mention his capture. This indicated that he had not been caught by official forces, at least.

Shiva made three assumptions: one, this kid was caught by the God Corps and was being subjected to extrajudicial punishment; two, he was caught by Jason Todd and was being subjected to S&M three, he was still at large, plotting some conspiracy.

Objectively analyzing, the possibility of the first situation was extremely small. The God Corps were, after all, "good guys." They would be saddened and angered by Tim's death, but not to the point of losing their minds. If they had really lost their minds, Nightwing wouldn't have been so easy to deal with when he escaped earlier...

The probability of the second situation was also very small. Taking the strength of the Angel of Death as a reference, Jason Todd was probably only stronger, not weaker, and this person was also extremely violent. It would be difficult for a level 28 player, mainly relying on scheming, to be "captured alive" by Todd; being instantly killed in battle would be normal.

Therefore, the third assumption seemed the most reliable.

After determining that Feng Bujue was still at large, Shiva began to speculate on the other's intentions...

"If I were a non-combat player, what would I do at this point?" he asked himself.

Soon, three words popped into Shiva's mind: "the Batcave."

On this night, the heroes of the God Corps would surely be out in full force, busy and overwhelmed. Besides a sage in a wheelchair, and Alfred the old butler, there would probably be no one else in the Batcave.

This was simply a treasure trove guarded by the old, weak, and disabled, with equipment and props to be taken at will!

Thinking of this, Shiva decisively consulted the map of Gotham City and then headed for Wayne Manor. Even if he couldn't find Feng Bujue on this trip, being one step ahead in seizing the Batcave would be extremely beneficial.

So, ten minutes later, he heard gunfire in the distance from the street while standing on top of a building, and then saw the contest between Todd and Feng Bujue.

Although it was night, the light from the street lamps and billboards was very bright, and the moonlight that night was also good, allowing Shiva to clearly observe every detail of Feng Bujue's movements.

Also, because the street was relatively empty, the sound could travel far, so Shiva, with a C-level Investigation Specialization, could even hear their conversation.

Under such favorable conditions, Shiva would certainly not show himself. He still couldn't be sure if the bomb on Feng Bujue was real or fake, nor did he know if the bomb's power and detonation conditions were as Feng Bujue said. At this moment, sitting on the mountain to watch the tigers fight from a relatively safe distance was undoubtedly the best choice. (idiom: sit on the mountain to watch the tigers fight = observe from a safe distance).

As for Feng Bujue, he was already aware that... he was not only being attacked by Todd, but also being monitored by other players. Of course, Brother Jue's tactics remained the same. Even if he didn't know there were players nearby, he was preparing to put on his battle armor. Because Todd was just too strong and annoying, forcing him to have no choice.

"Jason! Don't be too arrogant!" Feng Bujue stopped the cover fire from his submachine gun, forcibly prying open the back of the car with a pipe wrench, and shouted, "My companion from another world is monitoring this place, as long as he makes a move, you're dead!" With that, he flipped over and disappeared into the trunk, also closing the lid.

"Holy crap!" At this moment, ten thousand grass mud horses were galloping through Shiva's heart. He cursed in his mind, "I bought a watch last year! How did this guy know I was nearby! Could it be a guess! Is he just that lucky! If this is a blind guess, I'm in trouble!" (grass mud horse is a euphemism for vulgarity)

Jason Todd was worthy of being a superhero. Before Feng Bujue finished speaking, he scanned the rooftops, balconies, windows, and other places of the surrounding high-rise buildings with hawklike eyes. Shiva couldn't even hide in time and was discovered.

"There really is..." Todd raised his voice and said in Shiva's direction, "I heard on the God Corps frequency that you escaped from Nightwing's hands, huh... not bad." As he spoke, he pulled the trigger unreasonably, giving Shiva no chance to explain.

The rooftop where Shiva was located was higher than Todd's. He quickly retreated backward, out of the other's line of sight.

Unexpectedly, Todd immediately switched to a rope gun, climbed onto the rooftop of another building next to him, came to a higher plane than Shiva, and continued shooting. Obviously, he had changed his target of attack.

Shiva could only consider himself unlucky, who told him he wasn't strapped with a bomb... As for Feng Bujue, after he got into the trunk, Todd could no longer use a gun to hit him. Who knew what position this kid was in inside, what if he hit the bomb?

"Listen! I'm not with him!" Shiva rolled behind a cover and shouted loudly, "I can prove it! Let me help you kill him!"
