Chapter 23 Pikachu's Adventure
Chapter 23 Pikachu's Adventure
Catwoman has no sense of justice right now; the only things that can get her involved are treasure and data erasure programs.
There's no data erasure program in sight, so all that's left is the treasure.
As for why Catwoman chose to appear today, it's because many important figures are being threatened by the Joker and will flee Gotham at all costs.
After these people left, it was naturally a good time for Catwoman to show off her skills.
"Alright, Serena, I have very important things to do now, I don't have time to chat with you."
Seeing the catwoman's slightly upturned lips, Li Wei continued, "Remember to take an extra portion, and then help out the poor masses for me."
After finishing his sentence, Li Wei ignored the catwoman and ran straight towards the alley entrance.
Watching Li Wei's figure gradually disappear, Catwoman stomped her foot in annoyance.
Being humiliated twice by Li Wei made her feel very embarrassed.
Especially after Li Wei directly exposed her identity last time, she once thought that her identity had been revealed.
After a few days of worrying, she realized she had been overthinking things.
"Hmph, you damned bastard, I'll show you what I'm made of!"
After speaking, Catwoman glanced at the surging crowd, locked onto a magnificent villa area, and disappeared without a trace in a few flashes on the rooftops.
...
Gordon stood guard at the ferry terminal, watching the surging crowds outside the cordon, feeling utterly overwhelmed.
"Fellow citizens, please quiet down!"
Gordon, holding a megaphone, tried to stop the surging crowd: "The Joker isn't that kind. The ferry is definitely in danger. Don't fall for the Joker's tricks!"
"fart!"
"Exactly! You lousy cops, you're incompetent at fighting crime, all you do is hurt ordinary people!"
"The Joker may be a bad guy, but he always tells the truth; he never lies!"
"Exactly! We believe in the Joker, we don't believe in these lousy cops!"
Li Wei, who had just arrived at the dock, listened to the shouts of these people and felt that the world was utterly absurd.
The Joker doesn't lie? Anyone who knows even a little about the Joker can tell by looking at what happened to the guys who robbed banks with him.
Seeing that the situation hadn't gotten out of control yet, Li Wei decided to open the chat channel to check on the players' movements.
[Building Materials Brother Wang]: "Brothers, shall we all stay home? I think the police are right, the streets are chaotic, let's not go out and cause trouble."
【Riding a pig to watch the sunset】: "Yeah, yeah, I worked all day and this happened to me at night. It was so scary. I'd better not go out."
[Slaughtering Pigs Without a Knife]: "Hmph, you cowards, hurry up and make some reputation today! I just smashed two ATMs and two cars, and my reputation increased by twenty points."
...
A quick glance revealed that the players all had only a few reactions: the timid ones hid at home, since the clown couldn't possibly go looking for them one by one.
Those who were bolder would take advantage of the chaos to plunder and loot, while also increasing their reputation.
There's also an extreme idea: to escape Gotham, just like the Joker suggested.
Looking at the surging crowd, Li Wei estimated that there were quite a few players mixed in with them.
A newly updated chat message suddenly caught Li Wei's attention.
【Shen Tu Amang】: "If you ask me, you guys are just a bunch of trash. What is a clown? He said we can't go through the bridge and tunnel, so we just won't go?"
We're players, the so-called Fourth Calamity! He's nothing!
I'm near the bridge right now, and I'm going to drive across it in a bit. I want to see if this is true or not!
"Those who want to leave can follow me. If you ask me, the Joker is just bluffing!"
Upon seeing this message, Li Wei's mind raced, and he quickly considered many things.
Judging from the prefix in his name, this guy should be from the same organization as [Shen Tu A Le] who died at his hands. I just don't know how many people are in this organization.
Then came this guy's speech, which, just like his name, was really reckless.
I wonder if this guy will regret it when he gets blown up into the sky.
At this time, outside the makeshift police cordon on the Gotham Bridge, cars wanting to leave Gotham were parked everywhere.
However, the clown's threat and the police cordon prevented everyone from making any rash moves.
A square-faced man sat in a black Ford Raptor pickup truck, his eyes fixed on the bridge entrance.
"Boss...it's been three minutes, and the person you said should still not be on the bridge..."
A henchman sitting in the back seat looked at the burly man in the driver's seat and stammered a sentence.
"Shut up! How about you become the boss?"
The burly man was furious at the younger brother's words and slapped him on the head. "Since you're in such a hurry, why don't you go ahead and do it first!"
The burly man said something and gestured for his underling to drive the car next to him.
"Boss... Boss..."
Before the younger brother could finish speaking, the burly man slapped him across the face, saying, "Think more about your family!"
Upon hearing this, the younger brother seemed to be frozen in place, sitting blankly in his chair, unable to utter a single word.
"Oh my god... oh my god..."
As he spoke, the younger brother got into the pickup truck next to the Raptor, which was noticeably older.
He was clearly very nervous; his hands were trembling uncontrollably as he sat in the car.
"Gentlemen, help him out, tell him not to be so nervous."
[Shen Tu A Mang] Enters the game as a small gang leader. While others are struggling to survive, he is already immersed in the pleasure of bullying men and women.
Doing many things on Earth is illegal, but in the game, he experienced many new things—feelings he had never experienced on Earth before.
Looking at his trembling underlings in the pickup truck, he felt incredibly proud.
The characters in this game seem to have never read Sun Tzu's Art of War; their thought processes are surprisingly simple.
Just like this kid in the driver's seat right now, does he think that as long as he obediently listens to me, everything will be fine?
Thinking of this guy's sister, Ah Mang's heart began to burn with desire.
He smiled and glanced at his trembling underling, then winked at his trusted aide.
Seeing this, the confidant with the rooster-like haircut smiled and took out a syringe from behind his back. Taking advantage of the underling's inattention, he directly stabbed him in the neck.
After the needle went in, the younger brother clutched his neck tightly, even though there was nothing there.
After a moment, his originally fair skin suddenly bulged with veins, and his eyes were no longer clear, but instead revealed a beast-like gleam.
The once timid underling was now like a completely different person, exuding a crazy aura, with drool dripping from the corner of his mouth.
"Charge...charge across the bridge...charge across the bridge..."
The younger brother gripped the steering wheel tightly, his foot on the accelerator, looking as if he wanted to plunge his foot into the gas tank.
Some old pickup trucks roared and drove straight toward the makeshift police cordon.
The police officers on guard ahead heard the noise and quickly took cover, since they were only carrying out a blockade mission.
If someone tries to break through the checkpoint, they wouldn't dare fire without authorization.
[Shen Tu A Mang] watched the Pikachu rush out like an arrow, and thought of his little brother's crazy appearance.
Even though I've seen it many times before, I still can't help but be shocked.
If this thing appeared on Earth, I wonder what kind of uproar it would cause.
"This is how games should be played. That idiot Ah Le actually had to do it himself."
The roar of the pickup truck immediately drew the attention of everyone on the dock.
Li Wei turned to look in the direction of the bridge, a hint of surprise rising on his face. Was this guy called [Shen Tu Amang] really that reckless?
