Chapter 1 A Rocky Start

After some twists and turns, Ruoyu finally cut through the seat belt. Just as she was about to push open the car hatch and jump out, a tunnel appeared on the road ahead.

Inside the tunnel, a "Batmobile," which had been lying in ambush for a long time, was speeding towards her from the opposite direction.

Of course, calling it a Batmobile was a stretch; it was actually just a black, modified knock-off. Aside from the meaningless bat wings on the roof and sides, it was just an ordinary civilian car.

"Damn it! Henry, keep the wheel steady!" Inside the car, a fat woman dressed as Batwoman was shouting at her husband.

Henry, a mustachioed man in his fifties, wore a homemade Batsuit and looked quite the part: "Tch... if your brother could modify this junk heap a little better..."

"Shut up!" the fat woman snapped. "We're going to win! My astrologer told me so!"

They, too, were two of the many who attempted to challenge the_Bruce. Every year, many such rabble would emerge, and even if they managed to kill one of the "villains," the final challenge would always fail. But such people would never disappear—Gotham's poverty and tyranny would constantly drive such people to take the risk.

"Hurry! This tunnel can only fit one car, block her, she'll brake!" the fat woman yelled in the car.

Her husband, Henry, was getting annoyed with her: "You want to drive? Then you drive!"

"I can't drive and shoot at the same time! You idiot!"

"Don't call me that!"

"Hey! Wait... what's going on?"

"She doesn't seem to be slowing down... Oh! My God!"

It wasn't that Ruoyu didn't want to brake; it was just that her car didn't have that function.

Bang—screech—clatter-clatter—

After a series of collisions, scrapes, and flips, the two cars crashed on the side of the road, their bodies falling apart.

"Whew..." Ruoyu crawled out of her car and checked the game menu. "That only took off 20% of my survival points..." She took a few steps forward, away from the burning wreckage. "Without even realizing it... have I already become so much stronger than the average person in the real world..."

"Demon! Beast!" At this moment, the fat woman's cursing came from behind Ruoyu. "My Henry is dead!"

Ruoyu turned around and saw the fat aunt dressed as Batwoman crawling out of the car.

The aunt's excessively plump figure and mismatched clothes made her look somewhat ridiculous. But behind the bat mask, her ferocious expression, and the submachine gun in her hand... were no laughing matter.

"I'm going to kill you, bitch!" The fat woman launched an attack on the "Harley Quinn" in front of her with her terrible marksmanship.

Ruoyu didn't want to get entangled with her, nor did she want to explain anything. She simply took out a pistol from her bag and casually shot the woman in the arm.

At the moment the script officially started, Li Ruoyu also heard two system prompts: [Your appearance has been adjusted to Harley Quinn's appearance in the NPC's perspective] and [An item has been added to your bag].

Like Feng Bujue, Ruoyu also got a pistol. The body of her gun resembled a revolver, but the barrel was as thick as a dynamite tube, and the muzzle was even bigger than a shotgun.

"Oh! Aah—" The fat woman screamed in pain after being shot and fell to the ground. The weapon in her hand fell to the side, and she was unable to pick it up again.

For the NPCs in this scenario, all kinds of injuries seemed very "realistic"—car accidents would kill people, and being shot in the arm would result in loss of mobility. No wonder they couldn't defeat the_Bruce... Even if the current Batman was incompetent, he was not someone ordinary people could deal with.

"Sorry," Ruoyu said coldly and turned to leave.

Her actions were all recorded by the cameras in the tunnel and broadcast on large screens throughout the city.

From the NPCs' perspective, they saw a twin-tailed female maniac wearing a low-cut, midriff-baring leather outfit and heavy black eye shadow. She drove her car straight into the cars of two challengers, then cruelly killed one and maimed the other.

…………

At the same time, in another part of the city.

"Hmm... judging by the gait... that's Ruoyu, isn't it..." Feng Bujue muttered, standing in front of a large screen on the street. "I thought I'd see her Harley Quinn getup through the monitor, but it's completely someone else..." He looked a little disappointed.

Clearly, in this scenario, the players were just playing the roles of four characters that already existed in this universe. When they looked at themselves through a mirror or monitor, they would directly see the character they were "possessing."

"Tch... even though she's a foreigner, her figure isn't even as good as Ruoyu's..." Jue-ge grumbled with a gentleman's perspective and critical eyes.

Some might wonder, isn't he being too blatant, strolling around the streets like this?

That's right, it doesn't matter... because a few minutes ago, Jue-ge had ambushed a lone civilian and snatched a tattered robe to wear.

Anyway, the tracking chip in his head was already ineffective. As long as he disguised himself slightly where the cameras couldn't see him, he could swagger out and move around.

"In any case... Ruoyu doesn't need my help." Feng Bujue shifted his gaze to the other two people on the split screen, thinking, "'Poison Ivy' hid in the sewers at the first opportunity and successfully got rid of surveillance... She's so clever, it must be Xiaoling. Hmm... after she returns to the surface, she should be able to deduce the existence of the 'tracking chip.' Combined with the 'electric shock demonstration' I did earlier, she will quickly come up with a countermeasure." Thinking of this, his gaze settled on 'Two-Face.' "Sigh... you really are Two-Face, in a sense, it's quite fitting..."

Looking at Xiao Tan, who was fleeing in a sorry state on the screen, Feng Bujue showed a helpless smile: "There's really no way..."

He sighed and then stomped his foot.

His figure shot through the night sky like an arrow, instantly leaping onto the rooftop of a building.

"Although this is a parallel universe that has almost nothing to do with the DC main universe, the 'basic city layout' setting is probably the same." Jue-ge stood high above, looking around and pondering.

Seconds later, he quickly located Xiao Tan's position based on the map he had remembered from his last visit to Gotham, combined with the buildings and streets he had just seen on the big screen.
