This bat cub looks very weak

[Wow... This is Arkham. It's really different.] Dorothy read it in a rather bland tone.

"Hmm..." Akutagawa said "hmm" softly, as if responding to Dorothy's sigh.

I didn't expect that the first time I came to Arkham would be in this way. This reminded Dorothy of the scene when she asked Akutagawa to visit the New York Zoo.

Although I didn't see any familiar faces during my visit to Arkham this time, I only saw some minions who only knew how to revel in destruction.

Akutagawa dealt with them without even a single effort.

Regardless of whether Akutagawa actually killed those criminals, he doesn't need to worry about whether doing so will make him an enemy of Batman. After all, Akutagawa is not a good person.

He is the man known as "the mad dog that doesn't bark" in the port mafia.

[Are you going to see the clown?] Akutagawa cleared out the miscellaneous soldiers, and suddenly said to Dorothy.

【No need.】We'll see each other later anyway.

【Um. 】

However, just as Dorothy was talking to Akutagawa, the system suddenly spoke.

"Well, Dorothy, since it's a rare trip for you to Arkham, why not take that side quest while you're at it? You can earn some points or mental energy."

"What mission?" Dorothy still treated the system that popped up again in a perfunctory manner.

"It's a side quest, of course!"

Speaking of side quests, the first two side quests are pretty normal, after all, they are just about finding a safe house and the Lazarus Pool.

However, starting from the third limited-time side quest, Dorothy felt an inexplicable sense of being manipulated. Although the first two quests were chosen by her, these two quests seemed to lay the foundation for her to rescue Jason.

Therefore, Dorothy was not in a hurry to do the side quests. Anyway... it would be like today, when the system would suddenly pop up and remind her to do the quest.

Dorothy checked her side quests and found that the only side quest related to Arkham was [Side Quest 2: Arkham, a Place Full of Talents].

There are so many talented people... The villains in Arkham have been in and out of here countless times. They occasionally start a riot and escape from prison, and then they are caught by Batman not long after making trouble.

"Okay, let's take it." Dorothy looked at the introduction of this branch agent [True or False Life and Death Game] and felt a little confused, but after all, she had come here, so she might as well take it.

Dorothy doesn't have to worry about Nozomi for the time being, after all, he can protect himself. Dorothy checked and found that when the main quest started, all three people's skills were activated. Although Nozomi was using Geto Suguru's body, he could also use Geto Suguru's technique and control the cursed spirits through his technique.

Therefore, the noose now carries a huge number of cursed spirits. Dorothy estimates that there are probably several thousand of them, so the noose can actually be regarded as a walking bomb.

"Okay, host." The system replied immediately, and then Dorothy saw that this side quest became viewable. Dorothy clicked on it and saw the introduction of this quest.

“Is the dead clown really a clown?”

Um?What?

[Akutagawa! Get out of here!] Dorothy suddenly realized something and immediately shouted at Akutagawa. Perhaps her reaction was a bit too much, and Xiao Yi, who was blowing Dorothy's hair, paused.

[What?] Akutagawa was stunned, but his body reacted immediately. He left the current corridor and rushed out of the window on one side. At the moment when Akutagawa broke the glass and went out, there was a sudden explosion in the corridor behind him.

"boom!"

Even though Akutagawa jumped out of the window, the residual force of the explosion caused him to crash directly into the opposite wall. Fortunately, Akutagawa used Rashomon in time to protect his body, so he did not suffer too serious external injuries.

Although there were no external injuries, Akutagawa's body still suffered a considerable impact, which made him unable to stand up for a while, and he seemed to have a momentary tinnitus in his ears.

"Cough, cough, cough!" Akutagawa half-knelt on the ground and coughed violently. He covered his mouth tightly, but bright red blood still flowed between his fingers.

Dorothy suddenly felt annoyed while watching this scene because of Akutagawa's injury and her own mistake of not noticing the explosion earlier.

Dorothy waved her hand, signaling Xiao Yi not to help her blow dry her hair, and Xiao Yi stopped what he was doing. Dorothy closed her eyes the next second, then quickly opened them and began to quickly type something on the computer.

On the other side, Akutagawa coughed up the blood in his mouth, and his already pale face became even paler. "Akutagawa" slowly stood up with the help of the wall, and took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the blood on his hands and mouth.

At this time, Akutagawa is Dorothy.

Only by controlling Akutagawa's body could one know the power of the explosion. Dorothy now felt pain all over her body, and something in her chest seemed to be about to burst out.

Oh my god, is she suffering from internal injuries now?

Dorothy checked the watch on her wrist. The products in the system were indeed very useful. The watch also recorded the user's physical condition.

Akutagawa's current physical condition is indeed not very good, but it is not too bad, because if it gets worse, Akutagawa may die first.

[I... am fine...] Akutagawa's slightly weak voice sounded in Dorothy's mind.

[No, you are busy.] Originally, Dorothy should have given herself an injection of adrenaline at this time, but considering Akutagawa's physical condition, she couldn't give him an injection, otherwise it would only speed up his death.

Dorothy was trying to wake herself up while using her computer to check why the explosion had occurred. Just as she was about to retreat, a black figure descended directly in front of her from the sky.

"You'd better not move." The man in front of him said to Dorothy. He looked at the young man in front of him. For some reason, his sickly appearance made him frown.

"You have two broken ribs below the left side of your chest, a moderately ruptured lung, a slightly ruptured eardrum, and the risk of internal bleeding." Batman said as he began to approach Dorothy.

Damn, even Dorothy didn’t expect to meet Batman under such circumstances.

It would have been fine if she hadn't been injured, but in Dorothy's current state, she was captured before she could even run a few steps. And she didn't want to use Akutagawa's identity to kill Batman for the time being.

"Don't come over. The third room in the left corridor of the building behind you is the Joker's room, right?" Dorothy said, holding the wall as she looked at Batman who was gradually walking towards her. She also wanted to step back, but then she thought that if she stepped back, it would mean that she would be at a disadvantage.

Although my current condition is not very good.

Batman paused when he heard the young man's words, and then he stopped and looked at the young man, but his eyes began to reveal vigilance.

Just now, when Batman was clearing the thugs on the other side, he heard Oracle say that the thugs who destroyed the power system in Area C had been suppressed. From the surveillance video at the scene, it was found that the person who suppressed the thugs was the young man who had met Green Lantern in the sewer at that time and called himself Ryunosuke Akutagawa.

Naturally, Batman also investigated Akutagawa after returning, and learned some things about Akutagawa from Nightwing and the alien invasion war in New York that took place a few months ago.
