As strange as it may sound, Gotham is also a city with daylight.

During the day, the sun rises, sending light to the place as it does all other cities, as if it could occasionally become as bright as the metropolis next door.

For many people, they think that Gotham with the sun rising during the day is just a lie and an illusion, and that the real Gotham is only in the night.

But for the Cloak fighters who fight the city every night, a sunny afternoon is a short vacation.

When Barbara says that she is taking Kara out to "learn about the local situation", Roy doesn't expect the task to be shopping.

But it makes sense, the biggest pastime and entertainment in the life of modern urban girls is not shopping! At first, Carla was very reserved, feeling new and unfamiliar with everyone and everything around her, and very nervous at the same time. But after Barbara led her in and out of several clothing stores, she intuitively understood the simple act of "shopping" and began to show a strong interest in it.

Kassandra had decided to stay in the colony just in case, and now Roy felt a little envious of her work, at least she didn't have to carry bags of clothes on her hands.

"How? Is Earth fun? Barbara asked as the three of them sat down at a fast-food restaurant at dinner time.

"It's a lot of fun." Carla said sincerely, "Thank you. ”

"Not necessarily." Barbara held her chin and said, "There aren't many opportunities to meet alien friends, do you remember much about your hometown?" Well, I'm curious about what extraterrestrial civilizations are like? ”

Kara lowered her head slightly, a sad look on her face.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring it up"

"It's fine." Kara waved her hand, "Krypton is dead, it's a fact that I accepted when I left Krypton. I'm just glad to know that there are still the last of my remaining relatives on Earth. ”

After a pause, she asked, "Is Carl like a god in the eyes of you people on earth?" ”

"For some people who don't know him, yes." "But he also had people close to him, people who really knew who he was. While he plays the image of a savior, he also lives among us as an ordinary person, with the life of a normal earthling. ”

After a pause, he said, "You're going to have that choice too." Maybe you can choose to become a hero like him one day, a god in the eyes of most people; Or you can choose to hide your extraordinary abilities and become an ordinary member of us. It's all up to you, too. ”

Carla was thoughtful.

A waiter with a plate of pizza walked past her.

The tangy aroma of pizza rushed into her nostrils, and she remembered that she hadn't eaten or drunk since she arrived, and she didn't feel the slightest discomfort.

Maybe it's also because of the solar energy, so her physique doesn't need to eat, drink or rest. But she felt that she should still eat something, and it always felt weird not to eat or drink. So she took a piece of pizza from the waiter's plate and nibbled on it without saying a word.

"Hey!" Then the waiter would not be pleased.

Roy raised his forehead: "I'm sorry, the one that counts me is mine, just put it on the account." ”

The waiter muttered a few more words and walked away.

Barbara sneered and asked, "How does it taste?" ”

Carla smacked her lips and exclaimed, "Very delicious!" ”

Nightfall, Gotham Police Station.

In the Commissioner's office, Gordon spread the papers on the table and said, "Two sewer plumbers disappeared in the sewers in Kingston last night. We've sent someone down to look for it, and we haven't found any suspicious traces. ”

Roy and Barbara stood at his desk, picking up papers and flipping through them.

"Two plumbers went down in teams yesterday." Gordon said, "We determined the specific location they might be under the pipeline based on what they did, and sent people down to confirm them one by one, but we didn't find half of the shadow." ”

Roy flipped through several photos, his gaze resting on one of them.

That picture shows some of the tools that plumbers commonly use.

"These are the ones my people found below." "Their tools were left there, but I was gone." It had been almost twenty-four hours since the two of them had gone down the pipe at nine o'clock last night, and we had to prepare for the worst. ”

Barbara looked through the documents and asked, "No signs of fighting or violence?" ”

"Yes." "It's weird, but they do look like they left something where they were and left on their own." But why, and where exactly they went, that's what I want you to figure out. ”

"Again," Gordon cautioned, "be careful if you want to investigate." Having spent a lot of time in this city, it's natural to smell something different from events like this. After all, it involves the sewers of Gotham, which in my opinion is probably one of the most dangerous places in the world. ”

"The killer crocodile is now squatting in the Black Gate Prison." Barbara shrugged slightly, "Don't be so nervous, Dad. ”

Gordon sighed, "It's not a killer crocodile's problem, sweetheart. You know, after all, this is Gotham, and there's something you can't imagine everywhere from the ground to the ground. ”

"Got it, Dad." She gave Gordon a gentle kiss on the forehead, "Roy and I will be safe." ”

Gotham, sewers.

The two found the specific location of the two plumbers who disappeared, and checked the scene to find any clues.

Roy switched the helmet's perspective to scanning mode, and as he scrutinized it, Barbara brought up the record provided by Director Gordon about last night's pipeline maintenance.

"They had been in a number of other locations last night," Barbara said, "but their tools were left here, so it is assumed that this is the last location of the two workers before they disappeared - if they had worked as planned." According to the reports provided by the police search, there were no traces of a fight at the scene, no suspicious clues, and it can only be assumed that they left on their own for some reason. ”

Roy shook his head: "It's not that there are no clues, it's just that some people turn a blind eye." ”

"Well, so what did you find?"

Roy turned on the light on his wrist, illuminating a string of numbers carved into the pipe with a sharp object.

"What is this?" Barbara asked.

"Maintenance number of the Gotham sewer system." "This particular number points to a specific location in the maintenance system," Roy said. I believe that these two victims are showing us exactly where they have gone, in a way that is unique to their professions. (To be continued.) )
