San Tian Liang Jiao
Chapter 608 Me, Joker (7)
Meanwhile, Maya was using another portable monitoring device to receive video signals from above. She was surprised to discover that not only Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn, but also Two-Face and the Joker, had escaped the_Bruce's surveillance...
At that moment, all the big screens in the city were playing a speech that Gordon had recorded a long time ago to appease the public. The four "villains" who had not yet been executed had disappeared from sight, their whereabouts unknown...
For those who believed in the Bat, it was a truly "terrifying" night.
"Looks like we're here?" After turning a corner in the waterway, Xiao Ling suddenly slowed down and asked back.
"Yes, that's the manhole cover, the police station's parking lot is above it." Joey pointed to an iron ladder on the wall in front of him. He immediately revealed a look of amazement, "Oh, madam, your memory is really good, you only looked at the map once, and you didn't lead us down the wrong path..."
"It's nothing." Xiao Ling responded casually, then added, "Where are Dahl and the others?"
"The last time we received their signal was five minutes ago," Maya replied. "They should be hiding in the parking lot, ready to meet us."
"Okay... then..." Just as Xiao Ling was about to say something, suddenly...
Bang!
A loud noise rang out from above.
"What's going on?" Maya's expression tightened.
"That explosion doesn't sound good..." Joey was relatively calm, but his expression also became very serious.
Whoosh—just then, another sound of metal scraping came.
Then, the manhole cover above was opened. A short, stocky figure quickly climbed down from there.
"Dahl?" Joey recognized his companion from his back and hairstyle alone.
"Huh? Oh! Joey!" Dahl turned his head in panic and glanced around, then slid down the ladder. "Joey! Something's wrong!" He ran over panting and disheveled. "We've been discovered by the Robin Squad! These bastards came prepared... with RPGs, and... hey! Wait, you saved another one?" He noticed Harley Quinn among the group.
"Are there any survivors on our side?" Ruoyu suddenly opened her mouth, throwing out a question.
Dahl shook his head, "No, only me..."
Hearing this, Ruoyu didn't say a word, just started walking forward slowly.
Her imposing manner made Dahl involuntarily step aside to make way.
"Thirty seconds." When Ruoyu reached the edge of the stairs, she said these three words calmly. Then, she lightly tapped her toes, leaped up, and rushed out of the circular opening directly above.
"What does she mean?" Joey asked, puzzled.
"Uh... before that..." Maya widened her eyes and said, "How did she jump so high?"
Xiao Ling smiled, "You can ask her yourselves when you get up there later."
At the same time, on the ground...
"Don't move!" "Hands up!"
As soon as Ruoyu appeared, shouts rang out from all around.
But she didn't panic. In mid-air, she twisted her body to stop, and then activated Soul Intent – [Limit Efficiency].
In that instant, even the flow of time seemed to slow down suddenly in Li Ruoyu's eyes.
Because in this state, the character's various data will be corrected to the theoretical limit value. Therefore... most creatures in the same dimension seem to be as slow as still objects to her.
"Fourteen... no, fifteen people." Li Ruoyu's gaze swept across like a gust of wind, and her thinking also became faster under the effect of Soul Intent. "One RPG, four submachine guns, four shotguns, six rifles of unknown performance; everyone is wearing uniforms with [R] badges and combat helmets; like the soldiers in the hovercrafts before, they are undoubtedly all under the_Bruce's command..."
It only took Ruoyu one second to confirm this information. This second passed in the blink of an eye for others, but for her... it was quite a sufficient amount of time.
In this second, she identified the enemy, grasped their numbers, weapons, and location distribution. She even took the time to look at the bodies of those resistance fighters on the ground, and after confirming that there were no more living allies nearby, she confidently made her move...
[Scattering Cherry Blossom Slash] (Luoying Sanhua Shan)
Cold eyes, gorgeous moves.
[Saint Sealing] (Feng Sheng) Sword light, suddenly appeared in the night sky. The sword energy turned into countless cherry-red fragments, scattered and fell.
Light, bloomed with a chilling desolation. Blood, resembled a dense misty rain.
The skill, which originally had a killing range of ten meters in radius, was cast in the air under the urging of Ruoyu's Soul Intent - the area of the ambush actually tripled.
Where the rain of swords passed, nothing remained.
Thirty seconds later, when Xiao Ling jumped out of the sewer, the battle in the parking lot had already ended.
When Joey, Dahl, and Maya followed, they couldn't believe their eyes. It would have taken their resistance organization months to kill so many Robin Squad soldiers, but this "Harley Quinn" had settled it in thirty seconds.
"God, what happened here?" Dahl looked at the surrounding corpses in disbelief. "How did she do it?"
"It looks like... they were standing in some kind of blade storm for a few seconds..." Joey walked to one of the corpses and said thoughtfully.
"So you were already here..." Ruoyu didn't answer them, but looked up at the roof of the police station and muttered.
The crowd followed her gaze and found two heads sticking out from the edge of the police station's roof.
"Hi~" When Xiao Tan saw that he had been discovered, he simply waved to the five people below and greeted them.
In Xiao Ling and Ruoyu's eyes, Xiao Tan was still the same as before, but in the eyes of the three members of the resistance organization, he was a terrifying-looking Two-Face. This extremely friendly "hi" was really out of place.
Two seconds later, Feng Bujue, who was standing next to Xiao Tan, patted him on the shoulder and winked. Xiao Tan understood, and in the next second, he and Brother Jue flipped out from the rooftop, descended from the sky, and jumped into the parking lot.
"What the hell..." Even Joey couldn't help but swear to express his shock when he saw the two of them flying down from the top of a five-story building (the police station was taller than the average building, it would be seven stories if it was a residential building) and landing without any injuries.
"You're Joey, right?" Feng Bujue asked, looking at Joey as he walked forward.
"Yes," Joey replied, "How do you know my name?"
"Then you must be Maya?" Feng Bujue didn't answer his question, but looked directly at Maya, who was next to him.
Maya looked suspicious, but nodded anyway.
"Very good, let me guess..." Feng Bujue finally focused his gaze on Dahl, "Then you're Dahl?"
"Yes," Dahl replied, "I'm saying... buddy, what are you exactly?"
"You don't need to know anymore, but I do have a question to ask you..." Feng Bujue said, just as he walked up to Dahl.
Bang! A gunshot rang out.
No one expected that Brother Jue's next move would be - taking out a pistol from his pocket, raising his arm, aiming at Dahl's brow, and pulling the trigger.
The whole set of movements was done in one go, quickly, accurately, coherently, elegantly, without the slightest pity or hesitation.
As Dahl, who died with lingering resentment, slowly fell backward, Feng Bujue continued the first half of his sentence, "...Why did you have to be a traitor?"
"Um..." Xiao Tan, seeing this scene, complained with a serious face, "Is this the legendary shoot first, ask questions later...?"
"Oh! God!" Joey immediately shouted and took out a small knife from his pocket, rushing towards Brother Jue, "You bastard! What have you done!"
Clang—
Joey had only taken two steps when the small knife in his hand was knocked away.
He didn't even know what happened, he just felt a blur in front of his eyes and a numbness in his wrist, and his body staggered sideways, almost falling. When he reacted and looked up again, he found that... that "Harley Quinn" was already standing in front of the Joker, holding a long sword, looking at him with eyes as cold as blades.
"You... you..." Joey was filled with shock and anger, and was a little incoherent.
"There must be a reason for him to do this." Seeing that the other party didn't rush up again, Ruoyu slowly put down her sword and said a good word for Brother Jue.
Of course... this sentence sounded a bit unreasonable.
"Joey Collins." Feng Bujue walked around Ruoyu and slowly walked towards Joey. "You're a smart man, calm down and think about it... what exactly happened in the parking lot just now."
Hearing this, Joey suppressed his anger a little and recalled the series of changes that had happened before.
A dozen seconds later, his expression changed drastically, and he looked at Brother Jue and replied, "Dahl... he's a spy..."
"Very good," Feng Bujue continued, "If you can't even see through such obvious things, then there's no need for us to talk."
"He..." Joey supported his forehead with one hand, revealing a sad and regretful expression, "He was my friend... why..."
"Because he's not firm enough, not strong enough," Feng Bujue interrupted. "Dahl is a cowardly person, you know that better than I do. A person like him, once secretly arrested by the_Bruce's men, will immediately betray. They don't even need to torture him, he will kneel before the Bat." He paused, "Whether you believe it or not, I still have to tell you... just a few minutes ago, my partner and I personally saw him bring your resistance friends here, and then, under the pretext of scouting, he slipped away alone to send a signal to the Robin Squad ambushing nearby."
"Oh... I understand..." Xiao Ling took over, thinking as she said, "When we saw us... Dahl's panic was not because the Robin Squad in the parking lot was chasing him, but because he suddenly heard Joey's voice when he was climbing the ladder. I guess... he originally planned to come down to find us, and then lure us to the parking lot as well. But he didn't expect us to come so quickly, and happened to bump into him at that entrance. Since there was a sound of an RPG exploding from above at the time, he couldn't think of a good reason to trick us into going up, so he could only temporarily change his plan, and say that he was ambushed and escaped alone."
"Unbelievable..." Maya was also sighing, "Dahl was one of the earliest members to join the organization... I thought..."
"Alright, it's useless to dwell on this," Feng Bujue casually advised, then turned to Joey again and said, "Mr. Collins, I need to talk to you." He put away his pistol and walked towards the other party. "I know you have a lot of doubts right now... Don't worry, I'll satisfy your curiosity as much as possible later."
The NPCs naturally didn't know... When Joey climbed out of the sewer and appeared in Brother Jue's sight, Brother Jue and Xiao Tan both received hidden missions. From that moment on, Feng Bujue had already quickly conceived a complete walkthrough plan in his mind. Now, every step he took was deliberate.
"Anyway... for now, please follow us to the rooftop first," Feng Bujue said, reaching out his right hand and grabbing Joey's arm...
