This bat cub looks very weak

Now the perspective returns to Dorothy's side——

"They were all accidents, all coincidences, really!" Xiaojia explained earnestly to Dorothy and Tiger Stick. Jason sat quietly aside, paying attention to the surrounding situation.

"Don't be so excited, I still trust you." After all, Jason was present, so Dorothy did not speak to Xiaojia in her usual tone.

"What are your plans now?" Dorothy continued.

"If we leave here, Batman should catch up with us soon. Although I have looked at the map here before entering the passage, many places have collapsed and become congested, so I am not completely sure that I can leave here." Xiaojia took out a pen and paper, roughly drew a topographic map, and handed it to Dorothy.

"Are you all in the same group?" Jason, who had originally refused to speak, suddenly spoke.

"Yes, they are all my companions." Before Dorothy could answer, Xiaojia answered first.

Jason glanced at Xiaojia, then at the young man in black who seemed to be the backbone. He had a fierce look in his eyes and his skills should be at least better than Xiaojia's. He could feel that this young man was very dangerous, with the aura of someone who had seen blood on his hands.

Jason looked at the pink-haired boy he had just held hostage. Compared to Xiaojia and the young man, this boy was definitely no older than twenty years old, and might even be a minor. The aura on him was obviously much cleaner than that of the other two. Moreover, during the brief fight with the boy just now, he could feel the boy's strength, which was very powerful, and his movements were also very agile. If he hadn't pointed a gun at the boy just now, perhaps he might have been defeated by the other party.

From this point of view, these three people... don't look like they are in the same group at all.

"You all probably aren't from Gotham. Although I don't know why you came to Gotham, it's a complicated place and definitely not as simple as you think. Even if you want to do something, you shouldn't choose this place." Jason suddenly said this, shocking Dorothy and the others.

"Pfft..." Finally, Dorothy couldn't help laughing out loud, but she choked while laughing.

"Ahem, ahem..." Jason's words must be the funniest things she had ever heard.

"?"

"Akutagawa... are you okay?" Xiaojia looked at Dorothy who suddenly laughed and then coughed non-stop. He knew why Dorothy laughed back, because from their perspective, this sentence was said by Red Hood himself, and combined with the experiences just now, it was inexplicably funny.

Seeing this situation, Yuji consciously acted as a background board. He didn't understand anything yet, and the more he talked, the more mistakes he would make. He was also keeping an eye out for traces of the escaped cursed spirit.

"We came to Gotham only because we have a mission to complete here. I have no right to interfere in Xiaojia's affairs. Although we are companions, we are not a group." Dorothy covered her mouth and looked at Jason in front of her seriously.

Dorothy's words actually clearly show Xiaojia's freedom. When Xiaojia is not required to use him, Xiaojia's life is controlled by himself, and Dorothy has decided from the beginning that all vests cannot be companions forever, they can be enemies, lovers, or family members.

“You guys…” Before he could finish his words, Jason suddenly felt a bad breath for some reason, a… chill?

"careful!"

Itadori pulled Jason away and used blue cursed power to punch something behind Jason. Then they heard the sound of a punch hitting flesh and the sound of a huge object hitting the wall.

"Is it a cursed spirit?" Dorothy frowned and stood in front of Jason and Xiaojia.

"It seems so. Their aura is the same, but... the touch is a bit strange." Yuji took a few steps forward and walked towards the direction of the cursed spirit that was smashed against the wall, but the cursed spirit in that place had disappeared.

"It's a bit strange here. The aura of cursed spirits in this area is very strong, but I haven't seen any cursed spirits except the one just now. It's like something is spying on us in secret." Yuji was not very sure about the current situation, so he had to express his understanding.

"What...what curse?" Jason hadn't reacted yet. He looked at Dorothy and Tiger Stick who were vigilantly discussing their actions and was a little confused for a moment. He turned his head to look at Xiao Jia, and saw that Xiao Jia was squatting against the wall with his ears covered, with a look of "I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen".

Jason: Can someone explain to me what's going on?

He just felt something trying to touch him, but before it touched him, the boy punched it away. So, is there some unknown monster in this sewer, or is he just too sensitive?

"Red Hood, what are your plans next?" Dorothy thought for a moment and turned to look at Jason. Although she had just asked Xiaojia, she still wanted to confirm it. She should have asked Xiaojia again, but Xiaojia's fear of supernatural events had not yet been overcome, so she chose to ask Jason.

I hope he can be more reliable.

"..." Jason was silent for a while, because he was thinking whether he could trust the two people in front of him. "Let's leave here. Batman will catch up soon. We have to leave before they find us." After Jason said that, he looked at Xiaojia. What happened at home before made him realize that this little friend was actually afraid of ghosts, but he was also quite scared.

Dorothy narrowed her eyes slightly in her heart. It seemed that Jason had almost regarded Xiaojia as his side. This was good news for Dorothy.

"Tiger Stick." Dorothy called out to Tiger Stick, who was checking the surroundings for any traces of the cursed spirit. "Next, you will move together with Xiao Jia and the others and exit through the passage we came from."

"What? But we haven't caught the escaped cursed spirit yet..." When Yuji heard Dorothy calling his name, he was stunned for a moment, and was a little surprised why Dorothy made such arrangements.

"I will continue to track that cursed spirit." Dorothy pointed at the watch on her wrist and said to Tiger Stick, "Red Hood, Batman is targeting you. I can temporarily help you distract them. You can go out from where we just came in. Tiger Stick will lead you away, but you need to take him back to the safe house."

"Safe house? You know?" Jason frowned when he heard Dorothy's words. He obviously felt that the safe house was not as safe as he imagined.

"Hmm..." Speaking of which, when they bought this house, Xiaojia and Bujipopo reserved a room for Akutagawa, but Akutagawa had not moved in because of the buffer period after the mission. At that time, Jason happened to be picked up, so the room was given to Jason.

It’s better not to say this.

Jason saw that Dorothy didn't want to answer this question, so he was sensible enough not to ask. In addition, he actually set up his own safe houses in some places in Gotham, but they were often discovered by the old bat, and those safe houses didn't seem to be as comfortable as that safe house.

"I understand. Akutagawa, be careful. I will contact you if anything happens." Yuji thought for a while, nodded and responded to Dorothy.

"You have to remember, I asked you to go that way because once you go outside, Batman will know your location immediately. I have temporarily cut off contact with the outside world in that place, so after you leave that street, you will have to rely on yourself." Dorothy's tone suddenly became serious. Although she felt that she had said too much, after all, she was still wearing Akutagawa's vest, but there were still some things that needed to be explained.

"What?" Jason was puzzled. He was wondering what the young man in front of him meant. What did it mean to cut off contact with the outside world?

"Xiaojia." Dorothy called Xiaojia who was squatting on the side.

"Ah? What?" Xiao Jia now reacted and looked at Dorothy with a bit of confusion, as if he didn't listen to what Dorothy said carefully.

“……”You kid…wait.

"Ahem... get a mask and put it on Yuji." Dorothy suppressed the urge to get angry and coughed, and asked Xiaojia to give Yuji a mask. After all, in these plots, the person wearing the mask and the person taking off the mask are not the same person.

Since Tiger Stick is working with these two people who are already on Batman's blacklist, some covert measures are still needed.

It only takes a little bit.

"Oh oh!" Xiaojia immediately took out a mask from his waist bag. Well, it was one of those magical masks. After you put it on, only people who already know you can recognize what you look like. After you take it off, no one will recognize you.

"Thank you. We'll be leaving now. Be careful." Yuji took the mask handed to him by Xiaojia, thanked him, and then said goodbye to Dorothy for the time being.

"Um, cough cough..." Dorothy didn't speak like before, because she felt a little uncomfortable now. She wanted to cough but couldn't show it in front of these people, so she could only cough lightly as if clearing her throat.

be careful.
