"The Phantom of the Sewers?"

"Yes, the Phantom of the Sewers, no one knows who they are, it's fast, some people say that the Phantom of the Sewers is not a person at all, someone has even communicated with them, and they also speak English!"

"English is spoken all over the world, nothing unusual, and there are people who don't look like people and like to stay in the sewers, and there are a few in Gotham." Li Zu's words are absolutely true.

"They don't hurt ordinary people!"

Li Zu did not hesitate to comment: "It sounds like a hermit chivalrous man who does not seek fame, but it is still a bit obscene with the addition of "sewer". ”

The Phantom combined with the sewers will only give a sneaky feeling.

"Absolutely not!"

"Very handsome!" Huali retorted: "Just two days ago, the Phantom of the Sewers suddenly appeared in Gotham, and some people said that they robbed the former Star Lab, and every time they shot quickly, and they would never be caught!" ”

Li Zu paused, looked at the excited West strangely, and asked strangely: "Who just said that he was a superhero?" ”

Huali scratched his head in embarrassment: "But, this mysterious thief is very handsome, isn't it?" ”

The amazing thief, if you still like to rob the rich and help the poor, it is indeed easy to gain your own fans.

Li Zu couldn't help but think of several big thieves in the city, but after comparing them one by one, he found that these characters had nothing to do with "sewers".

"Handsome?" Li Zu continued to reminisce about the people he had fought in the sewers.

Killer crocodile, Shirley's zombie teacher, etc.

"It still feels very low-level and a little obscene. Wait a minute! He stopped Huali's outstretched hand and interrupted his move: "Don't put it up!" ”

"This?"

Huali strangely picked up the bald trench coat man on the shelf: "This thing looks so familiar." ”

He stared at the plastic toys of the mass-produced tyrant for a long time, and suddenly shouted in surprise: "We met it before, this is it!" He's him, that's him! Store manager, do you know what kind of toy this is? I've seen him alive, he's more than two meters tall, invulnerable, and he's powerful, Shirley and I were saved by him before, but he kills people very fiercely......"

Li Zu took the Batman toy from Huali West's hand and turned around to place it on another shelf: "That was the special price area just now, this is not a discount." But there is no explanation for Wally's origin of the toy.

"Batman's toys on sale?" Huali was very surprised, even if Batman became like that, it would still be of great significance in the city, and looking at the discount price given by Li Zu, it was equivalent to giving it away for nothing.

"$2?" Huali looked at the new price in surprise.

It's really a free giveaway!

Could it be that the store manager has been unable to sell things and is in a hurry?

Huali was speculating on the possibilities.

Li Zu touched the stubble on his chin and nodded seriously: "The store should be properly organized, it just so happens that this batch of Batman toys is pressed in his hand, so he will simply dispose of it at a low price." ”

"$2, the purchase price is not enough" Waley remembers that a year ago, if you wanted a delicate Batman toy, it would cost at least $20, and the workmanship was not as good as half that.

But here in Li Zu, Batman has been reduced to the "keychain" level.

Huali actively suggested: "If you want to do an event, why don't you sell something else, such as Gundam." ”

"Gundam?" Li Zu was stunned for a moment, frowned for a long time, and then shook his head and said, "Don't consider it for the time being, it's too big." ”

"It's not for you to buy a real Gundam," Waley muttered, dispelling the idea of continuing to give his opinion, "Okay, but the store manager, let me tell you about your toy store...... It should be called a haunted house. ”

Waley's eyes swept around the shelves in the hall.

Ghouls, Deep Divers, Mass-Produced Tyrants, Lickers, and the infamous Batman.

The only thing that looks normal is the Soldier series of toys, although it occupies a shelf, but this kind of toy that can be bought at convenience stores is not enough to attract customers to come in.

"Haunted house?"

Li Zu didn't think much about this problem, and he only noticed it after listening to what Huali said.

Indeed, few people are willing to buy these deformed and terrifying monsters, and the brick cars made of Lego patchwork that they bought before are also dusty.

Although The Flash is very realistic, it is very reminiscent of a defective product because of the broken arm.

"Do you really want to buy a batch of Gundam?" He tilted his head as if to see the Iron Giant standing in front of him, and then he shook his head vigorously, the transformation alone was enough to drain him.

The glass door was pushed open, and Shirley, who had shoulder-length blond hair, walked in, she had grown very fast in the past six months, perhaps because of the girl's early development, half a head taller than Huali West, and the two looked like two or three years old sister and brother.

"Shirley, I'm looking for you!" When Warley saw Shirley, he immediately dropped his work and pulled Shirley out of the toy store.

The Batman toy was thrown into the air, and after hearing the price of $2, Wally did not lower the bottom of the box treatment product in his eyes.

"Hey!"

Li Zu's five fingers on his right hand were opened, and the toy hovered strangely, but unfortunately this scene was not seen by Huali and Shirley.

"A hairy kid is really not suitable for this," he stretched out his hand, and the toy floated to the palm of his hand.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Zu placed Batman's toys on the corner shelf.

He nodded with satisfaction and rubbed his stomach:

"Shirley, where's the leftover burger?"

……

Outside the door,

Shirley was dragged out of the door by Walley, who was half a head shorter than herself, and asked, "What are you looking for me?" ”

"That ......, I actually wanted to say it before"

Huali lowered his head a little wrigglingly, hesitating.

Seeing his squirming appearance, Shirley was even more strange: "What? ”

"I think we're both special, so ...... Have you ever thought that we are partners! ”

"Partner?"

"The combination is called Lightning Boy and Shirley, Shirley is not a good name, you should customize a uniform for yourself and then take a loud name."

Li Zu's voice happened to come at this time: "Shirley, where are the leftover hamburgers?" ”

"On the second floor of the refrigerator, behind the G serum." Shirley replied.

She turned around and refused directly: "I don't want to be a superhero." ”

"Why, your ability is so great"

Huali doesn't believe it, he has the ability but doesn't want to be a superhero, is there really such a person in this world?

"I'm not suitable"

She is only one step away from becoming a monster, and the G virus that has caused the body to evolve has been completely combined with the body, and Li Zu also told her that if there is still external genetic stimulation, maybe she will mutate and evolve again, and at that time, the serum retrieved may no longer work.

In addition to these reasons, Shirley Ke also knows who her guardian is, Li Zu's true identity, Gotham's new uncrowned underground king, Toy Man!

Do you want to be a superhero and then catch him?

After being rejected by Shirley, Walley lost his interest and left the toy store.

The time came to 5:32 p.m

After the lightning streaks across the street, the uniformed Lightning Kid appears in the agreed "old place".

A voice came from overhead: "Feeling bad today? ”

Lightning Kid looks up, and sure enough, it's Batgirl, and she's on top of you at any time, and you'll probably never know how she did it.

"I'm going to keep chasing you?" The Lightning Boy lowered his head and said wiltedly, "As long as you don't use those small means, I will definitely be able to catch up with you." ”

The Bat Maiden said, "But the enemies you encounter will use small means. ”

"That's right, you're right."

"Today's game is cancelled," she said, "I have something to do." ”

"Something?" The Lightning Kid jerked up: "Isn't it the Phantom of the Sewers?" ”

The bat girl raised her hand and tightened the rope that shot at the wall: "Little ghost, that's not something you should think about, how are you preparing for the final exam?" ”

"I'm already working on it, so it's definitely not too much of a problem." The Lightning Kid's voice didn't sound very reassuring.

"Whoosh~" The bat girl was dragged up to the roof by the rope gun, only the voice remained: "I don't want to act with the imp who failed the exam." ”

"You mean to say that as long as I do well on the exams, you will act with me?"

Without looking in the mirror, the Lightning Boy knew that his eyes must be shining at this time.

The Batgirl didn't respond, the air around her was cold, and the Lightning Boy knew that the Batgirl should have left, but that didn't stop him from getting excited.

"Come on, Lightning Boy, you can do it!"

The frustration of inviting Shirley to form a partner is swept away.

……

Ball Industries

Barbara Gordon, who had tied her red hair into a simple ponytail, shook her head slightly, the ponytail shaking slightly, and the notes in her hand were quickly recorded.

Along the way, she has written a few thick pages.

The middle-aged engineer in a white lab coat said, "Miss Gordon, we are going to see the company's largest research project, which we have been working on for a long time, and it is a company-wide effort. ”

Barbara was pleasantly surprised: "Is it really possible?" ”

The Engineer smiled, "That's right! ”

"I will definitely get good results in this research report!" She said very firmly.

"Of course, Miss Gordon," replied the middle-aged engineer, equally confidently.

In front of the Dome laboratory of Ball Industries, the engineer took out his documents, successively performed retinal scans, fingerprint scans, and voiceprint scans, and entered a string of secrets before the laboratory door opened.

"We're always working to show our prototypes to the outside world!"

In the very center of the laboratory is a high-tech instrument placed under a dust cover.

Many staff in white coats are constantly monitoring and correcting data.

Barbara nodded: "If it's really like the introduction materials say, the generator can safely run powerful electricity, then ......"

She stopped abruptly and glanced back casually.

Syllable!

The lights in the lab suddenly went out.

"What's going on?"

The engineer asked, turning his head.

"Whoosh" "Whoosh" "Whoosh"

There was a sound of breaking the air.

Barbara raised her hand instantly, and three hidden weapons flew in the middle of the three batarts!

With excellent night vision from her long training, Barbara spotted the attacker in an instant, and the blade flashed, and an engineer collapsed in a pool of blood.

There are more than a dozen people, judging by the way they act, they should be ninjas!

"League of Assassins!" Barbara had heard of the League of Assassins

She leaned down like a female leopard, just about to rush up.

"Bones"

A smoke bomb rolled into the room, the fog dispersed, and several ninjas had already covered their mouths and started coughing, apparently the smoke bomb was not the same as them.

A flash of knife flashed, and Barbara keenly caught the green skin of the arm holding the knife, which looked like a lizard-like creature.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

With four slams in quick succession, the four ninjas had fallen to the ground.

He was very powerful, and his fighting skills were extremely good, and Barbara looked at the shadows in the smoke and had to admit that she was not as good as any of the people in this group.

Barbara Gordon crouched in place, watching the strange figure that suddenly entered the arena end the battle with great speed, and when the battle was over, only a group of fainted ninjas were left on the ground.

She quietly trampled the batrang under her feet, and took the opportunity to crouch down and quietly pick up the batdar.

The middle-aged engineer got up from the ground, walked over to Barbara, and asked worriedly, "Miss Gordon, are you alright?" ”

"I'm fine, though, I think we should call the police soon!"

"You're right"

The engineer nodded, turned back and said, "Good thing the generator didn't ...... The generator is lost!! ”

Ten minutes later, the police arrived.

As the daughter of a former police chief, Barbara left after making a brief note at the scene.

She returned to the car and found a map under the passenger seat, which was already full of "X", and the Ball industry on the map was immediately typed with an "X" by her.

"Could it be the League of Assassins? The techniques are similar, but they are divided into two groups, and the second wave of people has very good fighting skills, which has never been seen. ”

She gathered her thoughts: "The second wave of weirdos...... Yes, it's not a human, could it be a lizardman who resembles a killer crocodile? ”

Barbara scratches her flaming red hair.

"Regardless of whether this group of people is an alliance of assassins or not, judging from the information from the research labs that have been stolen one after another, they are collecting Gotham's high-tech technology, the last company in Gotham with high-tech technology!"

Her finger rests on the Gotham map, the only company that doesn't have an "X" drawn.

Wayne Enterprises!

Toy store

A boy, about five years old, pointed to the mass-produced tyrant on the shelf: "Dad, I want to buy this!" This bald head is so cool! ”

Li Zu, who was lying on the chair and dozing, sat up suddenly: "The child has a good eye!" That's a tyrant, as the first customer of the day, can give you a twenty percent discount! ”

"Let this go"

The boy's dad turned his head to look around at the toys around him.

On the shelf directly opposite him was a group of monster toys that looked like fish, but stood human, with fins on their backs and webbed fingers, which made his legs weak just by staring.

That's not the scariest thing, on the other side, the weird toy with a red body, a brain exposed, and a long red tongue is really scary.

"Daddy will take you to buy Batgirl's toys?" The boy's dad now just wants to leave as soon as possible.

"The bat girl keychain from eating a burger?" The boy looked disgusted: "I don't want it." ”

"Bat Girl?"

Li Zu had already walked in front of the two, he looked for a while, and picked up a Batman from the corner shelf: "Look at this!" A 100% restored Batman toy for a limited time of $2. ”

"Wow!" The boy took the Batman toy and looked at it in his hand.

The quality of this toy is definitely top-grade, it has a heavy feel in the hand, and there are many details on Batman's body, such as the lines on the belt, and the embarrassing stubble on Batman's ass chin.

You can even see lip lines on your lips.

"But I heard that Batman is a badass" The boy hesitated, he could see that he liked the toy very much, but he didn't want to be despised by his friends when he played with it.

"$2?" The boy's father asked suddenly.

Li Zu nodded: "Two dollars, discount for a limited time"

He turned his head to look at the shelves and suddenly realized that he had forgotten to put the "discounted" sticker.

The boy's father quickly took out two dollars from his pocket and handed them to Li Zu.

"The toy is bought, let's go!" The boy's father really didn't want to stay here for a moment.

"You are talking about the bat girl...... "The boy looked up at his father.

"Only one can be bought!" The boy's father said.

The boy looked at the delicate Batman toy in his hand, and then remembered the cheap plastic bat girl, and his little hands grasped the toy tightly: "I want this!" ”

Seeing the boy's father trotting away with the child, Li Zu squinted and waved his hand behind him: "Welcome again~"

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Li Zu turned around and found that it was Shirley in pajamas.

"What's wrong?"

Shirley asked, "Why do you have to give away your toys?" ”

"There are a lot of superheroes in this world, and so are supervillains" Li Zuyi shook the two dollars in his hand, and the two coins turned into plastic and were thrown on the shelves.

He lay back in his place and turned on the TV in the hall.

"So, somebody has to take their place."

Li Zu looked at Shirley and asked, "Don't sleep yet, aren't you going to school tomorrow?" ”

"I'm going to take exams soon, and then I'm going to middle school, so I'm going to take a break."

The school holiday has a lot to do with the incident of the Toy Gang and the Centoulets.

"Ball Industries is the latest victim in a series of recent attacks on R&D labs, and it is rumored that the police still have no clue about who is behind the attack and who is their next target," the news was broadcast on television. ”

Li Zu turned over and found a comfortable position to lie down.

Listening to the news and sleeping is his little habit.

……

The street where the toy store gates,

With a bang, the sewer cover was pushed open, and a green hand poked out.

The door of the shop was not closed, and the news came out.

"They don't know who's next, but we do, right?" The sound came from under the sewer manhole cover.

Another green hand stretched out and unfolded a map.

There was a dense "X" on the map, and only one spot was still empty, and the green hand pointed to the empty spot.

Wayne!

"I have something to report," said another voice that sounded a little presumptuous, "I was just going to buy pizza and I heard someone say, "The toy man in this city, do you think the toy man is an accomplice?" ”

"Toy Man? It sounds cartoonish, is it the kind of person who wears a puppet costume and sends balloons on the street? This is the third voice that appears.

"Someone's coming, don't be discovered!"

Syllable!

The sewer manhole cover is closed.

Shirley stood in the doorway and looked around strangely, there was no one in the empty street.

"It's strange, I obviously heard someone talking, and I mentioned the toy man."

She turned and closed the door.

The sound of TV news is also cut off.

The sewer manhole cover was lifted again, and under the pitch-black manhole cover, there were only a pair of eyes.

"Phew, who's that little girl? Her ears are horrible! ”

"Could it be the city's bat girl? I've heard she's a superhero. ”

"Superheroes, just like us?"

Seeing that the conversation was getting more and more lively, a calm voice interrupted the chat and said, "Okay, let's put aside the matter of the toy man, let's go to Wayne Industries first!" ”

"Yes~"

The other voices were scattered and unmotivating to listen to.

The manhole cover was closed again, and it was completely silent.
