Chapter 5 Pale and Dark

Chapter 5 Pale and Dark

"Please don't be nervous, Agent Li Chengfeng."

"I wasn't nervous at all. I just didn't expect the legendary Batman to be standing in front of me like this."

Li Chengfeng curled his lips and deflected the gun.

Bats are trustworthy.

Besides, a pistol doesn't pose much of a threat to this guy.

"I have a different attitude towards the FBI taking Harley Quinn away from Arkham Asylum." Batman walked forward silently. Although he was standing in front of Li Chengfeng and talking to him, Batman's eyes were looking at Harley Quinn. "She is not only an accomplice of the Joker, but also found the clues of the Joker."

After a pause, he added:

"The only clue now."

Li Chengfeng scratched his head with the barrel of the Magnum and thought that it was indeed because of this fucked-up reason.

Every time you get to this kind of painful moment, you really don't know whether Batman is dedicated to justice...

Still obsessed with the clown itself.

"Don't involve other people in your perverted game with the clown."

Li Chengfeng did not retreat and continued to stand in front of Batman. Due to the height difference, he could just see his chin when looking at him straight, so he had to raise his head: "People who wear clown makeup to kill and set fires, and people who wear masks, capes and tights to do justice at night, are all crazy."

"Do you also think that vigilantes and those so-called superheroes are criminals?" Batman slightly distanced himself from Li Chengfeng and stood to the side of the door. "I have no opinion on the level of the FBI agents."

"Don't talk about our level. I know you are all good people, even real heroes." Li Chengfeng curled his lips and leaned back on the sofa. "But the fact that you are a hero and you are a lunatic are not contradictory."

"Okay gentlemen, let's put the confrontation between the FBI agent and the night vigilante in the refrigerator for now, okay? Shouldn't the focus now be on whether to take me away from here?"

Harley Quinn said this while sitting on the bed with a cup of coffee in hand, of course her personality at this moment is most likely Harleen Quinzel.

She sipped her coffee slowly, watching with interest the two men who were fighting each other for her.

"Anyway, we must take Harley Quinn away." Although Li Chengfeng appeared to be very tough, he was somewhat worried in his heart. After all, he was facing Batman, the only designated father of DC Comics, who might do something weird. "As for the whereabouts of the Joker, you can cooperate with the FBI, right? After all, the FBI is not comparable to those useless state agencies in America."

Although he made some verbal criticisms of the country of America, Li Chengfeng's attitude was generally quite sincere.

There are two best ways to deal with the existence of clowns.

The first one is to stay away from him. Most of the time he will just wreak havoc on Gotham and Bats.

The second option is to mobilize all resources and work with Batman to deal with this madman.

Li Chengfeng is more inclined to the first option. He is not sure whether his IQ can beat the clown.

As for the success probability of the second option, let’s not talk about it for now.

Will this world have three clowns like what the Mobius chair said in the big event "Rebirth"?

Even if he is caught, the Joker still possesses the Dionysian factor that can cross the line between life and death.

No matter how you look at it, it's pretty cost-effective.

And his first priority now is to complete the FBI's mission so that he can gain more abilities.

In this inexplicable universe, the mere limits of human beings are really not enough.

Even as humans reach their limits, their combat skills are still far inferior to those of the bats in front of them.

"And Harley Quinn is Nick Fury's favorite disciple. With your status, whether you were that guy during the day or this guy now, you should know him."

Li Chengfeng used the most effective strategy, using his power to overwhelm others and making a fuss about the true identity of the bat.

"…Okay, I'll have a good talk with Nick Fury about this."

Batman nodded. Although his face was hidden by the mask, Li Chengfeng could already imagine the expression of a domineering boss who was ready to settle scores later.

Alas, let’s observe a second of silence for the black-salted eggs.

"Deputy Dean Jack Lawson, where is the regular security force today? It is almost only one-tenth of the usual guards." Perhaps Li Chengfeng's suggestion was more reliable, so Batman quickly turned his attention to other places, "and even the protection system of the entire Arkham Asylum is only maintained at the lowest level."

"Ah, this, this is because..."

The obese vice president Jack Lawson's face turned pale in an instant, and cold sweat broke out. Under Batman's deathly gaze, he wiped the oily sweat dripping down his forehead with trembling hands.

Li Chengfeng and Ada Wang looked at each other.

There is something fishy today!

He felt something was wrong from the moment he entered Arkham Asylum.

As a place where all kinds of highly intelligent criminals and terrifying lunatics are imprisoned, there are not even a few guards to be seen?

No matter how high-end the prison is, there must always be a backup plan, right?

We can't just adopt the strategy of locking people up in cells if they can, and leaving them alone if they can't, right?

The one who explained all this as a normal phenomenon was the vice president who was responsible for receiving Li Chengfeng.

However, Li Chengfeng is not a naive person like the one around the domineering boss.

"Om-"

At this moment, his personal terminal made a buzzing sound.

Li Chengfeng immediately came to King Ada and opened the terminal screen.

"Captain Lee, Agent Ada Wong, this is Ingrid Hannigan from the Field Support Division."

"Agent Hannigan, how's the investigation going?"

"According to the chief's request, I investigated all the information and recent situation of the leadership of Arkham Asylum. Among them, three million US dollars were transferred into the overseas account of the wife of Vice Dean Jack Lawson at one time, and his ten-year-old son has been missing for a whole week, but he did not call the police."

"Well done, Agent Hannigan. Your intelligence is crucial. I can now conclude that Jack Lawson was bribed and his son was taken hostage to ensure the perfect progress of the matter." Li Chengfeng said, glaring at the sweaty deputy dean, and then continued to say to Hannigan, "Immediately use my authority to mobilize the field team and the Gotham Police Department to search for Jack Lawson's son. He should be detained somewhere in Gotham City. The specific clues will be handed over to you."

"Yes, sir."

Hannigan nodded and closed the terminal video call. It was obvious that he was a decisive person.

Fortunately, Li Chengfeng was careful and asked the FBI's field support department to investigate. Sure enough...

"Hey, Fatty, it's you who should pay the price, not your son, so the FBI will do its best to rescue him, don't worry." Li Chengfeng said as he suddenly stretched out his hands and fiercely pinched the other's fat double chin with his iron-like hands. "What you need to worry about now is yourself. Who bribed you? What did they ask you to do?"

"This, I..."

"You can choose not to say anything, but I don't mind turning around and staying quiet for a while. And when I turn around, even if two grenades are thrown at me from behind, it has nothing to do with me. I will pretend that nothing has happened, including what the bat is going to do to you." Li Chengfeng pointed at Batman in the corner, "No prize for guessing, will he be a law-abiding person?"

"I, I'll tell you everything! Don't hand me over to the bats!"

His fear of bats was obvious; after all, more than half of the criminals in the asylum were sent there by bats.

Jack Lawson struggled breathlessly. Li Chengfeng pushed his face away in disgust and wiped it twice on the sofa beside him.

“Hey, this is my couch!”

Harley Quinn rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction.

"When you return to the FBI, someone will help you clean the furniture inside and out and send it over." Interrupting Harley Quinn's complaints, Li Chengfeng continued to stare at Jack Lauren's fat face, "Okay, tell me."

"It's... it's the Joker."

"Joker? How come I'm not surprised at all? What did he ask you to do?"

"He, he asked me to dismantle Arkham Asylum's defense system. Then the Joker Gang will attack Arkham Asylum with only one goal, and that is to rescue Harley Quinn."

"Save her?" Li Chengfeng rubbed his temples, then showed a fake smile, "You'd better not tell me, it's today!"

"Yes, that's right. Today..."

"Gan!"

Li Chengfeng kicked the fat pig to the ground and looked at the others.

Sure enough, at the mention of the Joker, Harley Quinn and Bats' temperament and demeanor changed drastically.

Especially Harley Quinn, her Dr. Quinzel demeanor disappeared in an instant, she suddenly reached out and pulled off her hair tie, and her long light golden hair with red and blue ends splashed down, a kind of crazy and broken beauty came towards her.

"My pudding, you're finally here! Hahahaha..."

The almost hysterical laughter was particularly harsh in the silent environment where everyone was staring at each other in silence.

But suddenly, footsteps sounded from outside the door.

At first it was very far away, so it was very blurry.

At the moment when the blurry light turned clear, Li Chengfeng saw a leg sticking out from the corner.

Dark purple suit pants and shiny black leather shoes.

Then what came into view was pale skin and scary makeup.

The pale green hair revealed his sin and madness.

"Joker..."

Batman looked solemn, staring closely at his greatest enemy in his life.

"Hahahahaha, isn't this my favorite bat friend? How come you have time to visit my most outstanding work today?"

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"Wow, your aggressive tone is really nostalgic... I'm just a selfless good man, I'm here to pick up a friend from the hospital." The clown paused, and after hearing the faint sounds of looting and burning coming from the outside, he continued contentedly, "Of course, by the way, I want to blow up this insane asylum where quack doctors are harming people."

As he was speaking, the Joker had already strolled to the door and was face to face with the Bat, a king meeting king after king.

"Pudding...Mmmmm!"

Harley Quinn jumped up from the bed excitedly, and just as she made a sound, Ada Wong locked her on the bed and covered her mouth.

"Don't make any noise, or I won't mind dislocating your limbs first!"

“Hehehehe…” Instead of getting angry, Harley Quinn let out bursts of dull laughter, which was indescribably crazy.

"Ada, your job is to keep an eye on her and don't let her get involved."

Li Chengfeng lowered his head and entered a series of information on his personal terminal. After confirming that it was correct, he breathed a sigh of relief and put away the terminal.

"Are you the clown?"

"Who are you? Oh yes, the great FBI agent. It's really scary just thinking about it."

The Joker's words were full of laughter, as if the FBI was a joke.

In his eyes, everything is a joke.

He and the bat are the craziest and funniest parts of the joke.

To him, everything except bats is boring, especially the FBI.

"boom!"

The deafening sound of Magnum's gunshot rang out instantly, hitting the Joker right in the middle of his eyebrows, and his smile froze instantly.

"Don't stare at me with those crazy eyes. I'm really scared."
