Gotham, the world's top metropolis, is full of lights, feasting, and money.
However, the citizens of Gotham have thousands of reasons to love Gotham at every moment, and even more reasons to hate it.
Gotham in winter is so cold that it makes people shiver. The howling cold wind will pass through the tall reinforced concrete forest, wreak havoc in the gaps between the buildings, and break through every piece of clothing of the poor.
Someone blows the wind, and someone warms the fire.
Maybe it was someone hurriedly passing by on the street, casually looking inside the large glass display window, those steaming steaks, those exquisite and bright goblets, those gentlemen with shiny hair, suits and ties, those ladies' necks gems...
The separation between heaven and hell may not be that far away.
Sometimes, it’s just the thickness of a layer of glass.
A short stay and gaze cannot bring about the slightest change in the empty life. The pace still continues, life still continues, and time still continues.
The winter in Gotham is over, maybe we can breathe a little bit?
But it turned into a gloomy city where it rains all day long.
It seems that the sky will never be clear, the rain will always have a sour smell, and the ferocious gargoyles will come to life at any time.
Wearing black armor and a black cloak. Mr. Bateman, Gotham's bat in the night sky, was squatting on his favorite gargoyle, looking at the melting rain, the dim city, and the hurried pedestrians.
The rain fell on his bat helmet, but it could not penetrate his body. The armor built at a huge cost perfectly isolated him from most moisture.
However, there is still a hint of coolness after all.
The rain in Gotham finally took away some of his body's heat, some of his energy, and some of his frivolous and domineering youth.
Batman likes to think about things here.
This is the highest point in Gotham, one of the most important properties of the Wayne family, and it is also where he overlooks Gotham after becoming Batman for the first time.
Here, he can see the crimes that breed in many dark corners, he can also see the ordinary and stable lives of protected citizens, and he can also see people riding bicycles through the rain, shaking their heads and singing...
"Lynn?"
Although I looked at it from a distance, some of the things I saw were not very clear due to the rain and the distance.
Moreover, in Batman's sight, Linn's face seemed to be covered with a strange mask, making it impossible to see his face clearly.
But, riding a bicycle so leisurely in such rain, with a little cat holding an umbrella squatting on my shoulder...
It can only be Lynn.
…………………………………………
"Can I hug you, love~"
"Let me cry on your shoulder~~"
"If we were to separate today~"
"Let me cry out happily~meow~"
Amidst the sound of raindrops, the raindrops falling on the umbrella are connected to each other, gathered into lines, winding, and sprinkled along the shaking and rotating umbrella.
The scattered light through the umbrella lights and the scattered lights in the rooms was divided and merged by the falling rain, turning into a misty scenery. With the constant changing of angles, the colors are also constantly changing.
Lynn sang a line, and the kitten sang a line. One person and one cat rode on a bicycle, holding a transparent umbrella, and slowly walked through the streets of Gotham. The front of the car passed the panicked pedestrians one after another, and the wheels pressed out a long road. Waterline.
Of course, Lin En didn't go out to hang out because he liked the rain, nor was he so leisurely just to buy clothes for the kitten.
Sit in front of the large window sill, holding a coffee or wine glass, and watch the windless drizzle wet the leaves, wash the gray into fresh green, and turn the light black of the tree trunks into deep black. Listening to the rustling of the rain and the occasional chirping of birds, this was the way to enjoy the rain, instead of being poured down by the umbrella that the kitten took aside from time to time like he was doing now.
"Pooh!"
Or the rain in Gotham.
"Lynn Lynn, can you sing Singin' in the Rain?"
"Yes, but you can't do two things at once, let alone three or four things. I don't have time now, so I can just say a few words to myself."
Of course, when Lynn talks about multitasking, she doesn’t mean riding a bicycle and singing at the same time.
Because he was still using skills while riding his bicycle, and he was using several skills at the same time.
The halo of [Inner Demon Externalization] opened and passed over every passerby Lin En passed.
The ability of [Stone Man Sharing Wisdom] is also used, and the passers-by in the halo are also linked one by one and released one by one.
"Oh my God! There are troll man-eating rats in the streets!"
This is the reaction of a relatively ordinary passer-by after being linked by two skills.
"omg...why did my wife grow three heads!"
This one is probably more afraid of his wife.
"A spider bigger than a lion! I must be crazy..."
Well... humans fear spiders more than death.
"Uncle Tom! Aren't you dead? I clearly remember burying you by the river!"
Hehe, this combination of skills can also solve a case or something!
"It's a fire hydrant! It's a fire hydrant! Ah! I'm dead!"
? ? ? ? ? What's going on?
"Baitman! Bateman is so ugly! I saw his face, I won't be silenced..."
squeak!
Linn squeezed the car brake and almost threw the kitten out.
With a cool kick, Lin En calmly walked up to a thin young man with sunken eyes and evasive eyes, and punched him twice.
Am I not prettier than that bat? !
Blind your eyes!
"snort!"
Carrying the little kitten who was still holding an umbrella and didn't know why, Lin returned to the bicycle again, swung his legs and got on the seat.
Embarrassed, my butt is full of water.
I forgot that it was still raining and the car seat was soaked.
His expression continued to remain calm. As long as Linn didn't say anything, no one would know that his pants were soaked.
…………
When Linn turned a street corner, his head felt a little tingling. This was caused by using multiple skills continuously for a long time.
But from Linn's point of view, it was certainly worth it, because his skills were quickly upgraded from the initial level one to the second level.
Looking at the long list of skills that measure the unfilled portion, Linn promptly gave up on the dangerous idea of achieving success in one fell swoop.
There are dark and secret corners in people's hearts. Fear comes from the unknown, but it also comes from facing up to the wrong things that have been done in the past.
If you see and listen to this kind of stuff too much, you may need to see a psychiatrist for diagnosis and treatment.
"Well?"
The moment Linn's car turned the corner, a hollow iron pipe struck horizontally in front of Linn.
Thanks to the skill effect of [Shadow Dance], Lin En was able to react in a very short time.
He saw the slight deformation of the iron pipe when it was struck, and the process of the iron pipe hitting the falling raindrops to scatter them. He also saw that when the iron pipe was swung, the one exposed from the corner of the wall was shaking due to excessive tightening. The hands were pale and bloodless due to the impact of force and rain.
The next moment, the iron pipe roared out and hit the umbrella's ribs, breaking it into two pieces and falling to the ground.
Also falling to the ground were the empty bicycles and a young man in a raincoat who was unable to hold back and was thrown out of his body.
"Ah... finally something like this happened to me.
This skill is really useful. "
"Meow~Lynn, I'm cold."
The young man who fell to the ground turned around and saw a man in regular clothes with a strange mask on his face.
On the mask, a smile composed of black ink dots appeared on the originally empty surface.
Just like simple text emoticons on the Internet.
A curved smiley face and two black ink dots representing eyes.
Then, under his gaze, the smiling face gradually deformed, grew in size, and laughed more and more crazily.
"Bravo."
A drawn-out compliment came from beneath the mask.
"Of course, I'm not talking about you or your friends."
The man grabbed the kitten standing at his feet on the ground and stuffed it into his clothes, revealing a small head.
"I mean, it really surprised me."
[Shadow Dance], coupled with nerve reaction speed and dynamic vision, and comes with the skill of rapid advancement.
[Grimace: Evil Heart Mask] can actively embody the user's emotions as expressions while preventing prying eyes. It also comes with a psychic shield.
Originally, Linn thought that these two skills might have to be used in a deserted place, facing the air or a kitten.
Unexpectedly, he was actually allowed to use it like this.
Moreover, it was used when someone was robbed.
This is the perfect script.
"Ron!"
Two men who were also skinny and wearing ugly raincoats ran over to the man who fell to the ground. They picked up the iron pipe on the ground and handed it to their companion who was pulled up to stand upright. They stood in separate positions and vaguely surrounded Lin En. In the middle.
"Yeah~ He is indeed a criminal in Gotham."
Even people like Lynn would sincerely lament that the citizens of Gotham are just different, and those who commit crimes are not ordinary people.
My appearance makes it clear that I am not an ordinary person. I have no intention of escaping. Instead, I want to take advantage of the number of people and attack directly.
Well, the old bat must be very pleased when he sees this scene.
"Do you want to use this against me?"
Lin En stood in the rain and raised his hand to point at the crude weapons in their hands.
"Maybe you can use this."
Stretching out his other hand, holding the black gun, Linn raised his hand and pointed it at one of the people. When he instinctively dodged, he moved the muzzle to the other person, and then the next one.
"Who is going to die? It shouldn't be me. Then, is it you? Is it you? Or... you?
Hahahahahaha...are you willing to cooperate with me in making a game? It can also be considered as drawing a perfect symbol for your life. "
"First, sir...please forgive us, this was a mistake..."
"Oh. You spoke out first, then you die first."
boom!
Gunshots rang out, and the young man behind Linn slowly fell to the ground, with a blank expression on his face and a big hole in his forehead.
"Hiss... I picked up the wrong gun, why did I shoot it behind me..."
Linn scratched his head helplessly with his fingers and pointed the gun at the next person: "Relax, don't worry, this time the bullet will be shot from the front."
The mask expression on Lin En's face became more and more exaggerated, and his mouth almost reached the top of his head.
"Forest!"
Just when he was about to shoot, someone behind him stopped him.
"Tch! Damn old bat, he only shows up at times like this."
The sound of the cloak flapping sounded, Master Bateman, arrived.
