"What's that?"

As soon as Kate, the Batwoman on the side, showed her head, she saw a large cloud of strange black mist that could not be seen without her five fingers, centered on Li Yunfeng, spreading around, and she immediately retracted her head.

However, Barbara's voice in the communicator said, "Can you pop your head out and see, I want to know what this black fog is." ”

Kate had no choice but to poke her head out again, relying on the high-tech equipment in her helmet to see through or scan, but ......

"Incredible!"

While operating the bat system, Jack said, "That black fog can't be scanned or seen through!" ”

You must know that the bat helmet worn by Batwoman Kate on her head is similar to Batman, combining various high-tech equipment, but it still can't detect Li Yunfeng's eternal night darkness!

Not only that, but the black fog seemed to have life, engulfing the temporary stronghold set up by the mercenaries, but it did not penetrate deep into the building where Kate was hiding, which made it incredible.

As for Li Yunfeng in the black mist, as a spellcaster, of course he was not affected, but as for those mercenaries, the situation was not good.

Under the effect of the black mist, their five senses were deprived, and they panicked instantly, Li Yunfeng seized the opportunity and knocked down the strong man holding him down with one punch, and then rushed forward and eliminated all the mercenaries with one punch.

There was no suspense in the battle, and just five minutes later, when Li Yunfeng put away the black fog, Kate's eyes were only a large number of mercenaries lying on the ground, unconscious.

"Wow!"

Seeing Li Yunfeng's strength, Kate began to have a trace of fear in her eyes when she looked at him.

"I thought it would be possible to fix it all mildly."

Li Yunfeng walked to the anti-aircraft missile launcher and said, "However, the darkness of this city has refreshed my cognition again and again. ”

Speaking of this, Li Yunfeng turned his head to look at Kate behind him, and explained to her and Jack and Barbara in the bat cave: "The black fog just now, called the darkness of eternal night, can make people temporarily lose all perception. ”

In the middle of his words, he saw Li Yunfeng raise his right palm slightly, then clenched his fist, and a huge pitch-black mouth about ten meters long rose from the ground, directly swallowing all the missiles on the launcher, and then disappeared without a trace.

"The one just now is the mouth of the world, which can devour all things."

Li Yunfeng put down his right hand, seemed to feel something, shook his head and said, "But it doesn't seem to like the smell of missiles very much." ”

Kate then asked, "So what do you like to eat with that big mouth?" ”

"Eat meat, raw meat."

After listening to Li Yunfeng's words, Kate's face under the helmet was very ugly, and she couldn't help but think, if the mouth of the world likes to eat raw meat, then does human meat count?

Not counted.

Suddenly, Li Yunfeng's voice sounded in Kate's head: I can control the mouth of the world, so it won't eat people, in fact, it likes to eat pork chops because of the fragrance.

"Don't be nervous, it's just a simple mental communication."

Li Yunfeng pointed to his head with a finger, then sighed and said, "My heart is very messy now, if I do something excessive, I hope you can forgive me." ”

Li Yunfeng grew up in peaceful China, although he was forced to use it as a pawn to adventure in the multiverse because he was favored by the bastard of the main god, but most of the events he experienced were provoked by the old clan, not man-made disasters.

But Gotham's experience completely affected Li Yunfeng's three views, he really couldn't imagine that there were so many villains in this city, plus the previous hunter reminded Li Yunfeng to pay attention to Gotham's biggest crazy clown, no wonder Li Yunfeng's mood was a mess.

Kate, who calmed down, also noticed that Li Yunfeng was not in a good state, so she tentatively asked, "Do you want to rest for a while first?" ”

"No, I can hold it now."

But just as Li Yunfeng's voice fell, Jack's report came from Kate's communicator:

"I'll tell you the bad news, the Arrow Frog Mercenary Group has established a number of similar strongholds, and the batwing is under their blockade, and the space to fly is very limited!"

"How so!"

Kate immediately asked, "What do these mercenaries want to do?" Take control of the city? Moreover, where did they get so much weapons and equipment! ”

As mentioned earlier, mercenary groups are not official armies and are not backed by a state, so the number and variety of weapons they possess are very limited.

But the current situation is that this mercenary group that has entered Gotham City seems to have unlimited funds as a backing, and weapons are arbitrary.

Who can withstand this!

But now, all Li Yunfeng and Batwoman can do is to uproot the strongholds of those mercenaries as much as possible, as for who their employers are and what their purpose is, we can only talk about it later.

Fortunately, since Li Yunfeng had cleared a stronghold so that the bat wings could land nearby, Li Yunfeng immediately put on a new bat helmet and bat suit and continued his journey.

Of course, this time there is a division of labor between Li Yunfeng and Kate, Li Yunfeng is responsible for dealing with the mercenary stronghold, and Kate is responsible for solving other problems.

And just like that, at seven o'clock in the morning, the sun finally rose and the day arrived.

But in fact, for a city like Gotham, even during the day, it is not peaceful, but due to the intervention of mercenaries, many gangs have been eliminated directly, and hundreds of strongholds have been established on the streets overnight.

So at this time, Gotham is like being controlled by a warlord.

As for Li Yunfeng and Kate, they were busy all night and did not return to the Batcave until the sun rose.

"Kate has slept."

Barbara, who had settled Kate, returned to the Bat Cave and asked Li Yunfeng, who was eating breakfast (sandwiches), "Do you need to rest for a while?" Mr. Monster? ”

Last night, Li Yunfeng let the people here see the keyhole light, the mouth of the world, the darkness of the eternal night, and spiritual communication, this kind of strange power is not regarded as a monster.

Fortunately, Jack is still on Li Yunfeng's side: "Barbara, even if Mr. Li is a monster, he is also a monster on our side." ”

Barbara also shook her head and smiled: "Yes, when he completes the task, he will also take the initiative to leave, and he will not continue to interfere in this world, where to find such a good monster!" ”

Hearing this, even Li Yunfeng sighed: "You may not believe it when you say it, I used to be an ordinary person, and I didn't gain those abilities until recently." Sometimes, I wonder if I can still be considered a human being when I fall to the ground. ”

"Okay, don't care, Mr. Li, I'm just kidding."

Barbara patted Li Yunfeng's back lightly, and then her expression became solemn, because what she was going to talk about next was business!

"It's a very bad situation!"

I only heard Barbara speak: "The Mi government doesn't care about the chaos in Gotham, which makes it impossible for us to get help from the outside world, not only that, but there are also foreign mercenaries involved, and judging from their equipment, it seems to be aimed at Batman." ”

The current Batman Li Yunfeng immediately said: "Fortunately, I cleared the stronghold in the north of the city yesterday, at least to ensure the smooth road from the Batcave to the city." ”

"You've done a good job, Lee!"

Jack said, "Then the question now is who is the employer behind this mercenary group. Only by identifying the employer can we speculate about their possible purpose. ”

Li Yunfeng nodded in agreement, and put forward his own opinion: "Do you think it will be a clown?" ”

In fact, Li Yunfeng also knew that the clown was just a madman, but he was not a rich man, and he didn't have that much money to hire those people, but he said this purely to throw bricks and make Jack and Barbara, who are Gotham natives, pay attention to the clown.

"Lee, that's impossible!"

Sure enough, Barbara replied, "The Joker once injured me, so after I returned to Gotham, I immediately found the relevant information about Arkham Asylum, according to the information, the Joker has been killed by the Laughing Bat." ”

The incident of the Laughing Bat attacking Arkham and killing the Joker happened a month ago, that is, the last time Li Yunfeng came to the Batman world, Li Yunfeng and Jack were also present at the time, and witnessed everything with their own eyes.

So the question is, if the clown is really dead, then why did the hunter remind Li Yunfeng to pay attention to the clown?

Suddenly, Jack uttered the astonishing words, "No, Barbara, you're wrong, the Joker isn't dead!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Barbara's brows moved slightly, but she didn't open her mouth to exclaim after all, but fell silent, as if she was not surprised by the matter.

Yes, the Joker, as a nightmare of Gotham, has tormented the city for many years, even many times, and others think that the Joker is dead, but after a while, the madman will burst out laughing and kill everywhere, and then be captured by Batman and thrown into Arkham Asylum.

I only heard Jack talk about the situation at that time:

"Since the Laughing Bat left Arkham, Batman has been on the scene to investigate, and immediately found out that the dead Joker was a stand-in, and the real Joker was missing."

At the beginning, Jack was called to the office by Batman and Gordon to talk, so he told the story of the time.

"Sure enough!"

Barbara said angrily, "I knew the Joker wasn't dead, he must be hiding in some dark cave now, carrying out an evil and crazy plan!" ”

"I think so too."

Jack nodded, then changed the subject: "But the Joker is just a madman, not a rich man, and he doesn't have the money to hire that many people." ”

"So...... Who in Gotham would have the financial resources to hire a group of Arrow Frog mercenaries to do things for them? ”

In the face of Li Yunfeng's question, Barbara did not answer, because she couldn't think of the result.

Jack, however, looked at Barbara and said solemnly:

"Actually, I have an idea, but you might think I'm crazy."

As an outsider, Li Yunfeng may not understand the meaning, but Barbara, who is a native of Gotham, suddenly trembled all over.

Seeing this scene, Jack kindly stretched out his right hand and put it on Barbara's shoulder to help her stabilize her emotions, and then said:

"I know that this result may be too cruel for you to even think about it."

"But sometimes, the truth is much more brutal than we think!"

Speaking of this, Jack paused, watched Barbara's mood gradually stabilize, and then spoke:

"Because I think that the people who hired this mercenary group are likely to be from the Wayne Group!"
