Tokatsu Scientist in the World of American Comics

Chapter 117 Joker, old and new heroes

In addition to the slow progress of extracting the concept of "shine", Gao Li has also been busy with something that he cares about.

That is the space gem in his soul.

But obviously, Gao Li thought too simply.

Originally, Gao Li thought that it might be easier when he returned to the DC Universe and regained all the personality and authority of the Lord of Magic.

However, the opposite is true.

The Space Stone lost all its power directly after leaving the Marvel Universe!
The power of each Infinity Stone relies on the universe in which it is located, and after the Space Stone lost its power, Gao Li couldn't even find it.

It's like throwing a stone in the deep sea. Before, the stone was very bright. As long as you dive into the sea, you would have a chance to see it. Now the stone doesn't even shine at all.

Although Gao Li is the master of magic, he is not the soul master after all, and he is helpless in the face of this situation.

Therefore, Gaoli's next main task was to prepare for the launch of the Skyhawk satellite, and to start investing money to secretly manufacture various TPC technologies.

After all, when it comes to individual weapons, Gao Li is the strongest among the best, but once he thinks of Batman and various Batmobiles and Batplanes, Gao Li feels that he has to come up with some.

It just so happens that TPC's technological crystallization has filled Gaoli's gap in this area.

Days passed like this, and Batman gradually matured, but he never found a chance to meet Fang alone.

This fang became more elusive and appeared very rarely every day, making it difficult for Bruce to track it.

However, the shadow of Fang has always shrouded the underground world of Gotham. Gangs of all sizes have been either disabled or killed, and the security at night has obviously improved a lot.

This makes Bruce more and more confused. Is Fang's approach a better choice?
To this day, after wiping out a small gang, Fang did not leave, but waited at the scene until Batman arrived.

"Batman...or Bruce, you don't mind calling you that, right?"

Bruce stared at the fangs a little warily, but he was not surprised that he knew his identity.

On the day he was assassinated by Scarecrow, Bruce guessed that when Fang rescued him, he must have lifted the mask to see his identity before throwing him at the door of Wayne Manor.

Although Bruce had an electric shock prevention device on his mask to prevent others from lifting his mask, the electric shock obviously could not penetrate the armor of the fangs.

"You can call me whatever you want. The important thing is what do you want to do when you wait for me to meet today?"

"Bruce, I plan to retire for a while." Fangs said surprisingly.

"what?"

Bruce was stunned for a moment before Fang continued: "I love this city deeply, so I will fight against crime and make them count their sins."

"However, I have wiped out almost all the biggest gangs in Gotham. Although the remaining gangsters may have committed small crimes, their crimes will not lead to death."

"I'm not a murderous person. I only kill those who have committed heinous crimes and deserve death. Therefore, there is no room for me to appear."

Bruce was silent for a moment. After this period of tracking, he also knew that Fang was a very principled person.

Just by looking at Tusk's biological armor, it is clear that he must have very strong technological capabilities, and it is even easier to investigate intelligence with the help of those technologies.

Every time before the fangs act, they must have obtained the life records of each target, including their various criminal facts, to decide who should be killed and who should not die.

Although Bruce did not agree with this kind of superior judgment, he also secretly made a comparison and found that the fangs indeed followed this principle.

After all, the fangs are so powerful that he has the ability to maintain an overwhelming advantage and at the same time find the time to identify the crimes of each enemy. It is simply a piece of cake.

There may not even be a need for Fang himself to tell. The moment he sees the enemy, the computer will automatically identify and mark whether this person is a target for killing!

"In short, the city will be left to you - as a symbol of deterrence against crime, you are the one more suitable to bring fear to them."

Bruce had mixed emotions after hearing this, and he actually felt like he was being entrusted by his senior.

After a long time, Bruce asked dully: "Fang, will you come back?"

Gao Li smiled slightly: "Perhaps...if evil occurs again in the future and makes this city cry again, I will definitely appear!"

Bruce silently assumed a fighting stance: "I'm very grateful to you for saving me, but I can't approve of your method. You're just a criminal after killing so many people."

Gao Li said calmly: "Then I suggest you go to each country's past rulers to hold them accountable. No matter whether they are princes, generals or the expansion of territories, a large number of deaths cannot be avoided."

"However, people deliberately ignore this and do not regard them as murderers and criminals. Instead, many people regard them as great men who should be worshiped and emulated."

"So this is a relative thing...I think the only thing I can do is to ensure that I kill to make the world a better place, and to ensure that I have a clear conscience."

Bruce stopped talking and attacked calmly, but Gao Li did not fight with him and walked away laughing.

After a few rounds of simple fighting, the smoke grenade laid out at the scene was detonated by Gao Li. When Bruce rushed out, there was no trace of the fangs anymore.

After all, it was Gao Li who took the initiative to meet Bruce, so how could he not be prepared to escape in advance?

All Bruce could do was to leave the scene silently before the police arrived, making up his mind secretly while driving.

"Leave Gotham to me...I won't let you have another chance, Fang!"

After Fang declared him on leave, Bruce became even busier.

The underground world of Gotham City did not remain peaceful for long, and soon various rookies appeared, such as one of the "Joker" whose name was only heard but not seen.

In addition, there are a large number of imitators emerging, which Bruce is struggling to cope with.

Fortunately, the BAT armor Gaoli sent him was really good.

For example, the power that was greatly increased due to this was just right.

Although the punching power of one ton may seem low, it is completely enough for Bruce. If the punching power was higher, Bruce would have to consider changing it to a lower level.

The reason is simple, because Batman is a non-killer.

Too high punching power will cause him to accidentally kill someone if he doesn't make a mistake, which will make it even worse.And the power of a ton of punches is not too much or too little, just enough to ensure that if Bruce does not hit any vital points of the enemy, then if Bruce withdraws his strength slightly, he can stun the enemy or make him incapacitated in one move.

This is very important. In the past, Bruce's fist and kick attacks relied entirely on his own strength and skills. Only when he hit the vital point could he defeat the enemy with one blow.

However, the battle process is ever-changing, and Bruce cannot guarantee that every move will hit the enemy's vital point. Many people often have to hit three or four moves in a row to destroy the opponent.

Now that I have the BAT armor, everything has become easier. No matter who I hit, it's just a matter of one punch.

Beyond that, Bruce is most satisfied with its protective properties.

Although Bruce was bulletproofed by Kevlar and other high-tech fabrics, part of the kinetic energy of the bullet that could not be completely eliminated still had to be forcibly resisted by his well-trained body.

And Kevlar fiber can only be bulletproof, but it cannot resist stabbings with sharp objects or bites from wild beasts. This makes Bruce's body often bruised and swollen, and there are small wounds everywhere.

Alfred felt extremely distressed when he saw it, but Bruce had no choice. Wayne Industries' technology did not focus on individual weapons, and he had previously directly used ready-made development prototypes from the Applied Science Department, and the most he could do was this. step.

Now it's getting better.

When the enemy's firearm hit him, Bruce couldn't even feel the impact through the BAT armor, and his whole body stood out with ease.

Not to mention sharp weapons such as swords, the BAT armor is so airtight that even the joints without heavy armor can effectively resist these injuries.

As for the bites of big deflated dogs... Today, when dealing with those imitators, Bruce also encountered them unleashing hounds to bite people, but it's a pity that it's not what it used to be!

Those wild dogs bit their teeth until they hurt, and they were completely unable to bite through the BAT armor. Under the huge increase in force of the BAT armor, they could not achieve any dragging effect.

Since putting on the BAT armor, Bruce has barely sustained any injuries during the operation that lasted for more than half a month!
Every time he realizes this, Bruce feels extremely grateful to Gao Li.

You must know that if Gao Li is willing to sell this technology to the Ministry of National Defense, then the Ministry of National Defense will definitely go crazy. The US military will also be able to dominate the world, and the Feidian Group will be able to become one of the top giants!

However, Gao Li had no such intention at all. He was obviously unwilling to use it in war, but he developed this special version specifically for his brother.

However, this perfect set of BAT armor also caused Bruce a little trouble.

That was Fox, who had previously provided him with equipment. I was originally quite curious as to why Bruce stopped looking for him at all during this period, but after seeing the BAT armor, he was completely stunned.

When Bruce saw Fox again, Fox's eyes were bloodshot. He had obviously stayed up late to research and develop for a long time.

I don’t know if this is because he is aroused by his desire to win, or by his passion, or because it is difficult to accept his lagging performance in weapons research and development?
In short, Bruce could only advise him to get more rest.

In addition, something good happened in Gotham recently that made Bruce extremely happy.

The Gotham Prosecutor's Office transferred a new Attorney General Harvey Dent. He is a young man full of justice and courage, and even earned the nickname "Bright Knight" for this.

Every time he heard about Harvey's uncompromising attitude in the face of crime, Bruce couldn't help but think -

If Harvey can continue to exist as a bright symbol of Gotham's righteous side, will Gotham no longer need Batman in the future?
After all, Batman, who chooses to fight violence with violence, is actually a deformed existence above the law, just as he said to Fang that day.

After many days of recalling Fang, Bruce couldn't help but associate Harvey with him.

If the day comes when Batman can retire, Bruce feels that he is just like the fang back then, as the senior who handed over his beloved Gotham into Harvey's hands.

Now it's up to you, Harvey Dent!

"While Batman can still exist, let me help you deal with the threat of the Joker."

Bruce secretly made up his mind.

The Joker has been getting crazier and crazier lately, and seems to be targeting Batman everywhere.

He first killed his admirer who was imitating Batman and recorded a video before his death just to convey a message:
Bat Boy, if you don’t take off your mask and surrender, I will kill someone every day~
This is not unwarranted intimidation.

Even the daily kill targets that the clown is looking for are not unknown people!

First it was Gotham City’s previous police chief, then Gotham City’s famous female judge, and then the Gotham City Mayor himself!

"According to the JOKER business card left by the Joker, among the fingerprints detected on it, only Prosecutor Rachel and Prosecutor General Harvey are still alive."

At night, Jim Gordon summoned Batman to come for a meeting through the Bat-Light on the roof of the police station.

With his fangs hidden, Batman's reputation is growing in Gotham City, and he has gradually become the latest symbol of fear in the underground world.

Batman, who insists on the principle of not killing, is obviously more appreciated by Gordon than fangs, and Gordon will even ask Batman to cooperate with him from time to time in handling criminal cases.

"I understand, I'll follow up."

Although Bruce became upset by this, he still maintained a calm tone in his answer.

Rachel and Harvey—the two people Bruce least expected anything to happen to!

Needless to say, Rachel is Bruce's childhood sweetheart, while Harvey and Bruce became friends after meeting once.

Especially when he saw Harvey talking about his recognition of Batman in person, knowing Batman's ideals, and knowing that Batman had always wanted someone to take over his responsibilities... Bruce just felt like he had met his confidant!

Harvey's concept of justice deeply moved him, so he also used the identity of Bruce Wayne to promise to hold a charity fund-raising party for Harvey, so that Harvey no longer had to worry about money.

Gotham needs an ideal Light Knight like Harvey, not an outlaw Dark Knight like Batman.

Nothing must happen to either Harvey or Rachel!
"If the target is the two of them, the charity party must be the best place to do it..."

Bruce's eyes flashed as he thought about his plan.

To be on the safe side, he should cancel the charity gala.

But looking at it from another perspective, this is the best way to lure out the clown. After all, the clown usually hides too deeply.

"What should I do?"

Bruce is caught in a deep tangle. Risks and opportunities coexist. Should he take a gamble?
