Chapter 1 The Conversation Ends

Their conversation lasted about ten more minutes before concluding.

For Feng Bujue, he had probed for enough information.

For Dr. Quinzel, she had enough data to write a preliminary diagnosis for the man who called himself "Jack."

So, after a simple farewell, Dr. Quinzel took the lead in leaving the "interrogation room."

A few minutes later, the guard who had brought Jue-ge in earlier entered; he was the same as before, without much nonsense. He opened Jue-ge's shackles and then grabbed his arm to take him back to the cell.

However, this time, Feng Bujue was not so cooperative...

"Sorry," Jue-ge greeted the guard before making his move.

And that "sorry" was the last word the guard heard before losing consciousness... The next second, he was easily knocked out by Feng Bujue with a chop to the neck.

This was, after all, a normal difficulty script, and the NPCs encountered at the beginning had no combat power. Even though Jue-ge had lost some equipment and skills, with the physical fitness of a level 56 character, it was more than enough to deal with an ordinary person.

Buzz— Buzz—

Feng Bujue had just begun searching the guard's body when the alarm sounded inside the building.

Of course, this was also within Jue-ge's expectations.

On the way here, Feng Bujue had already memorized the position of every camera around him, so he knew that there was no blind spot that could be used along the way—it was the same no matter where he made his move.

Since that was the case, he might as well act in the current room, because logically speaking, compared to the "cell" he had been in before... this "interrogation room" should be a shorter distance from the exit.

"As expected..." Feng Bujue muttered as he used the key he found on the guard to open his handcuffs, "In a 'world without super villains,' the vigilance of the administrators here towards 'prisoners' is also obviously insufficient; in a more normal Batman world, even escorting prisoners inside the asylum would require at least two guards..." At this point, he had very skillfully opened the handcuffs and swiped the electronic key card from the guard's body. "But for the people here, it's impossible for a prisoner of my size to subdue a guard who is taller, stronger, and armed while wearing handcuffs..."

Jue-ge's thoughts were quick, and his movements were no slower. As he thought this, he burst out of the door and ran quickly down the corridor.

"Hey! Stop!"

After only one turn, Feng Bujue encountered two guards blocking the way, and their lines were the "classic nonsense" often seen in movies and TV shows.

Seriously, in most chases, even if you have a gun in your hand and shout "Stop!" people may not listen to you, let alone the guards in this asylum who are only equipped with batons and tasers (commonly known as stun guns or electroshock guns).

"Heh... they really take the bait so easily..." Feng Bujue was relieved when he saw the guards.

Jue-ge was also very experienced in escaping—when you are in a closed environment and don't know where the exit is, generally follow one rule... wherever the guards are blocking, that's where you run.

"I said! Stop!" One of the two guards blocking the way saw Jue-ge charging straight at him with the speed of a sprinter and panicked a little. He shouted loudly to embolden himself while raising the taser in his hand.

But...

"Save it..." Feng Bujue even responded to the other party in a rather lazy tone while running quickly.

And in the process of saying these three words, he had completed... leaping upwards and to the side, stepping horizontally on the wall of the corridor, contracting his body in mid-air to make a sideways spin, and having the whole person pass over the heads of the two guards... this series of actions.

For Jue-ge himself, this level of positioning was very easy and leisurely.

But from the perspective of the two guards, the scene just now was like a large animal much faster than a human rushing past their shoulders like a gust of wind...

When Feng Bujue passed by them and gradually ran away, one of the two... was still in the posture of aiming a gun, and the other's hand was still touching the baton on his waist, without even having time to draw the baton...

In front of the player, these guards' movements could be said to be truly "slow as still."

In this way, Feng Bujue ran wildly all the way, and all the guards who tried to stop him were like decorations in his eyes. Either he swayed past them with bizarre movements or he casually knocked them down. Weapons such as tasers and batons couldn't even touch him.

Five minutes later, Feng Bujue arrived in front of an iron gate. With this gate as the dividing point, the outside was the open area of Arkham. Through the iron fence on the door, Feng Bujue had already seen the larger space outside and several security checkpoints.

Needless to say, everyone can imagine that the defenses here were the most strict... When Jue-ge turned into this corridor, there were already more than a dozen guards waiting for him in front of that gate.

"The parkour game ends here, you bastard!" A person who looked like the head of the guards stood at the back of the crowd, leaning against the door, holding a taser in his hand, and shouting at Feng Bujue, "Now! Put your hands up, or I'll electrocute you until you piss your pants!"

He seemed very confident, after all, there were more than a dozen people here, more than a dozen guns, and the corridor was so wide that it was difficult to miss.

"Hoo... there's really no way..." Feng Bujue looked at the scene in front of him, sighed, and unobtrusively reached into his pocket.

The guards thought he was preparing to give up, but in reality... Jue-ge was secretly activating the effect of [Bell's Everyday Knife].

This knife was of legendary quality and did not belong to the category of items that "cannot be restored below excellent grade"; with [Must-Break Defense Blade] broken and [wjQ-308 Military Shovel] removed, this knife, which originally had a low usage rate, had now become Jue-ge's main weapon.

And what he was activating at this moment was the knife's [Special Effect Four: Keep up, Kevin~ (Summon a Kevin to fight for you)]

"What are you doing?" After a few seconds of stalemate, the head of the guards felt a slight abnormality. He immediately shouted loudly at Jue-ge again, "Take your hands out of your pockets and put them over your head!"

"Heh..." Feng Bujue smiled, "I just... want to take 'this' out."

As he spoke, he took out the key card he had found on the guard earlier.

"Ha!" The head of the guards laughed dryly after seeing what was in the other's hand, "Anyway, you won't be able to use it, now! Throw the card away, kneel on the ground, and put your hands on your head!"

"Throw it away?" Feng Bujue raised his head, looked at the card in his hand, and the smile on his face became even stronger, "Okay..."

No sooner said than done, Jue-ge raised his arm and flicked his wrist, throwing the card out like a hidden weapon.

Feng Bujue was very skilled at playing cards, he could use paper poker cards like shurikens, and this key card with a harder texture was of course no problem.

In the blink of an eye, the card flew across the entire corridor, passed through the wall of people formed by the guards, and drilled through the gap in the iron gate at the end of the corridor extremely accurately... Finally, another person caught it steadily in his hand.

Beep—

When Kevin on the other side of the fence swiped the door open with the card, the guards came to their senses and turned their heads to look at him.

No one recognized the strong man in front of them...

No one knew where this guy came from or why he appeared outside the door behind the guards...

Even fewer people understood... why this strong man was carrying a camera...

"Don't..." The head of the guards originally wanted to shout "Don't move," but he only uttered half a word before being knocked unconscious by a camera.

This may be the only time in these people's lives that they have seen someone use a camera as a weapon for physical attacks... It's not that the power of this thing is not good, it's just that the lens is too expensive, and it has no competitive advantage compared to bricks, which are both handy and cheap attacking units.

"Ah—"

After the shock, there was a burst of commotion.

It was unknown which guard shouted first, but at the moment his voice rose, several people fired their guns together.

Accompanied by a series of "zzzzzz—" sounds, at least three darts from the tasers hit Kevin and began to discharge electricity.

Although tasers are "non-lethal weapons," their effect is unambiguous. In fact, this is a more efficient and reliable weapon than most guns that can be used to kill people; even people who are highly focused and fully prepared will inevitably experience muscle contraction... that is, muscle spasms, and then lose the ability to resist when they are hit by an electric pulse.

But the scene that followed once again shocked the guards...

Kevin, who was hit by three tasers at the same time, was completely unmoved; not only was he not electrocuted to the ground twitching, but he also nonchalantly waved his arms to push away the electric darts and copper wires, and used the camera to launch a physical attack on the surrounding guards.

"Damn it! Is this guy a Frankenstein!"

"Grab him! Pin him down!"

Faced with this sudden disruptor, the guards fell into chaos. Since the tasers were ineffective, they could only rely on their numerical advantage to rush towards Kevin haphazardly.

And their reaction... was exactly what Jue-ge wanted.

The reason why Kevin knocked down the head of the guards without saying a word as soon as he appeared was because Jue-ge gave him this instruction through telepathy (Kevin can accept instructions issued mentally by the summoner, and can also accept verbal instructions—see [Bell's Everyday Knife] additional notes). Once the guards lost their commander, this situation would inevitably occur.

"Heh... Frankenstein isn't as good as him..." Looking at the guards fighting with Kevin, Feng Bujue showed a bit of sympathy.

As a "special summon" of a "composite weapon," Kevin's strength is doubled by both "machinery" and "summoning" specializations, and Jue-ge's two specializations... are both A-level; therefore... don't look at Kevin's appearance as just a human strong man carrying a camera, in fact, his combat power is absolutely no less than facing "Bane."

"Well... let's say goodbye and leave." After watching from the other end of the corridor for a while, Feng Bujue raised his head and cast his gaze towards the nearest surveillance camera.

He slowly raised his hands, turning the palms of his two hands towards himself and crossing them, and then hooking his thumbs together, while straightening his other fingers in the shape of wings.

While making this movement, he did not forget to give the camera an evil smile.

This smile... was like a joke, and like an invitation. He didn't expect everyone to understand what he meant, he only needed one person to understand the meaning.

After doing this, Feng Bujue turned around and ran towards the guards who had been beaten to pieces by Kevin.

With him and Kevin joining forces, cleaning up these guys who had already collapsed was like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves; Jue-ge only relied on the most basic physical skills to crush them, without using any fighting skills or zero-time difference calculation, and he had already solved the problem.

After dealing with this last small force of guards, the two of them swaggered out of the front door of Arkham Asylum's main building.

Arriving in the courtyard, Feng Bujue immediately breathed a sigh of relief, because once he got here, he could already see the land outside the walls and the streets extending into the distance... that is, "confirm the geographical location of the asylum."

Although in most orthodox works, Arkham Asylum is located in "the deep suburbs of Gotham City," there are occasionally more non-mainstream settings... such as "the asylum being built on an island."

If it was in the suburbs, Jue-ge only needed to find a car, or even walk, to get rid of the pursuit and blend into Gotham; but if it was on an island, things would become more complicated...

Indeed, Feng Bujue could rely on [Treading the Void] to run directly back to Gotham from the sea, or he could use [Moon Step] to step into the air all the way back, but doing so... on the one hand, would cause considerable physical consumption, and on the other hand... would also cause people in this world to have a higher assessment of Jue-ge's "abilities."

This was what Feng Bujue had been trying his best to avoid so far. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to summon Kevin in the corridor before. He could have directly used [Tempest Kick] to shatter all the guards and the fence door... and he would have been able to get out the same way.

To put it more bluntly—Jue-ge didn't want to attract the Justice League.

Through his conversation with Dr. Quinzel, Feng Bujue had already learned some information about the heroes of this universe. Although there were no super villains here, and the number of superheroes was not as large as he knew in the DC universe, the "Justice League" still existed.

This universe's "Justice League" is composed of heroes such as Batman, Flash, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, Martian Manhunter, Aquaman, and Green Arrow. I believe everyone has seen a problem—there are no Superman or Green Lantern.

In fact, it's not just them...

Including Superboy-Prime, Supergirl, Power Girl (Supergirl's alternate-universe counterpart from Earth-2), and other Kryptonians who involve or do not involve concepts such as multiverse travel; as well as all "Lanterns" of all colors, including Hal Jordan, Kyle Rayner, and Sinestro; and all heroes, anti-heroes, or aliens with "potentially serious blackening tendencies" or power levels that reach the cosmic level, etc... these types of characters do not exist in this universe; even if they do exist, they have not yet appeared in the cognition of people on this earth.

In summary, after Feng Bujue analyzed... among the remaining heroes, apart from a group of guys who were "neither high-level gods nor could easily kill him," the ones who could possibly help him were Wonder Woman, who was a "demigod," and Flash, who could use the "Speed Force." The former has the "Lasso of Truth," which is one of the objects that Feng Bujue is least willing to make physical contact with in this world, with a higher priority than shit; and the latter, how should I put it... he has a conscience...

After thinking about it, Jue-ge naturally didn't want to provoke the relevant people from the Justice League to come; so, at least... at the beginning of this script, he would try to show as few exaggerated abilities as possible.

"You can't escape!"

A minute later, just as Feng Bujue was preparing to steal a car parked in the courtyard with Kevin, the roar of the head of the guards suddenly rang out from behind them.

This brother was really giving it his all. After being hit on the head and bleeding by Kevin and falling to the ground unconscious, he got up again after a few minutes and staggered to the courtyard, leaning against the door frame of the main building and demonstrating to the escapees.

"The police are already on their way! The roads will be blocked soon, and you will be re-arrested or shot directly within an hour!"

These words were not just talk. Judging from the walkie-talkie in his hand that was still flashing, he had already communicated with the personnel in the monitoring room during his run to the courtyard and was saying this with certainty.

"Hmm... is that so..." Feng Bujue stopped what he was doing after hearing this and said, "What you said also makes sense..."

"Eh?" The head of the guards was also stunned when he saw this and thought to himself, "What's the situation? Does he think the situation is unfavorable and has decided to surrender?"

On the other side, Feng Bujue was also silently thinking, "If I just drive out like this, the probability of being intercepted before entering the city is very high, and it is easy to fall into the police's encirclement... The police are much more difficult to deal with than the guards. Facing live ammunition, acting with bare hands like just now without using obvious superpowers... I'm afraid I won't be able to get through."

Thinking of this, Jue-ge had another plan.
