I Create the League of Heroes in Gotham

For criminals like Ian who suffer from mental illnesses, turning them into normal people is completely impossible. All that's required is to meet the criteria for a Hero Template carrier—as long as they're alive.

As for other issues, the Hero Template will handle them!

Dr. Hugo offered a kind smile and walked towards Ian step by step.

Only then did Ian realize in terror that he wasn't being rescued; he had merely escaped one den of danger only to fall into another...

Chapter 47: What Kind of Monsters Are These?!

"Care for a drink?"

When the bald man with a large canister on his back, clad in tattered rags, poured a cup of green, unidentifiable liquid from his canister and offered it to him.

Ian refused.

The frantic shaking of his head was proof enough of his resistance.

The strange bald man honestly put away what he was holding. But the next moment, Ian was horrified to discover that the guy had somehow produced a scalpel and grinned menacingly at him.

"This might hurt a bit!"

Ian struggled even more frantically, but it was useless.

Li Wei couldn't even bear to watch Dr. Hugo's cruel act of performing surgery without anesthesia.

So, he decided not to look.

Coincidentally, Stan had also finished dealing with Fish on the other side and walked back, carrying her corpse.

"Warden, I'm done. I left the body intact," Stan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his simple smile showing no hint of malice. "This guy was like a black watermelon, a lot of blood, that's why it took a bit longer."

Li Wei looked at Fish, who was being carried like a torn sack by Stan, and curled his lips.

It really was an intact body.

Apart from a gruesome gash on her throat, Fish had no other injuries on her entire body.

All her blood had drained out. Her dark complexion didn't turn pale from the loss of blood.

But none of that mattered, as long as the corpse could be identified as Fish. Her only purpose was to make an example of her.

Actually, Fish's near-supernatural telepathy would have been very suitable for a Hero Template carrier, but who told her to provoke him?

Better to kill her!

Gotham needs a role model!

"Good, you hold onto her for now. She'll be useful later."

Over at Dr. Hugo's side, he had also finished with Ian.

In reality, Ian hadn't suffered any fundamental harm. Dr. Hugo had only used the scalpel to intimidate him.

In Dr. Hugo's mind, a complete Ian was far more valuable for research than dismembered remains!

The Warden had told him that Ian could also join the glorious evolution like them, and observing the process of essential evolutionary metamorphosis made him even more obsessed!

After being intimidated, Ian faced reality. Even when Dr. Hugo untied him and let him down, he stood obediently to the side, not daring to escape.

Ian was actually quite speechless. If you wanted me not to run around, why didn't you say so earlier? I'm not uncooperative!

Even back in Blackgate Prison, he had heard the rumors about Karda Jin and the Gotham Beast. Running away from those two monsters? Might as well be tired of living!

Why did you have to drag a scalpel over me? You scared me to death!

It's really uncomfortable to have wet pants!

"Dr. Hugo, turn this place into wasteland!" Li Wei commanded Dr. Hugo.

Dr. Hugo's face broke into a smile of affirmation, and he bowed to Li Wei.

"As you command, Warden."

Then, Singed quickly ran towards the abandoned factory. As he ran, the liquid in the large green canister on his back began to churn and boil, eventually vaporizing into gas.

Green gas poured out of the canister and fell onto the ground where Singed was running.

In Ian's shocked gaze, this green gas displayed astonishing toxicity.

When the poisonous gas came into contact with the weeds on the ground, these plants, full of vitality, began to wither at a visible rate until they finally turned into a pile of black ash on the soil!

Nothing grew in its wake!

That wasn't all. The ashes of the withered plants fell onto the soil, but the toxicity didn't diminish. Instead, it began to seep into the soil through the ashes.

The black soil gradually turned a grayish-green, and a faint smell of decay began to emerge from the soil.

Ian knew that this land was finished, completely devoid of life!

It would be impossible for any plant to grow here for at least several hundred years! It would be more vibrant than saline-alkali land.

Even the earthworms beneath the soil would be killed by the astonishing toxicity!

Ian looked at the strange bald man frantically running around the factory, spreading the poisonous gas, and felt despair.

Who were these three people? He thought only Karda Jin and that mad Gotham Beast were terrifying.

But he hadn't expected the third one to be a monster too!

Who in their right mind would wander around with a giant jug of poison, asking others for a drink???

Compared to them, I'm practically a little lamb! A model citizen!

When everything settled and the entire abandoned factory area was devoid of life.

Ian watched in silence as the Lethal Beast actively asked the bald man for a drink of poison and easily downed it.

He immediately gave up thinking.

Now, his mind was filled with only one thought:

I'm not crazy! I want to go back to Blackgate Prison! My emotions are very stable right now!

Perhaps the police officer at the prison was right; his emotional instability was relative. In front of crazier lunatics, his emotions would be very stable!

Now, in Ian's eyes, these three monsters were even crazier lunatics!

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Arkham Asylum wasn't a place you could just come and go as you pleased.

After completely tidying up the abandoned factory, Li Wei, along with Dr. Hugo, Stan, and this new patient, headed straight back to Arkham Asylum.

Along the way, he casually had Stan hang Fish's corpse from a streetlamp in the middle of the street.

Li Wei believed that someone would spread the word about what happened here tomorrow!

All the way, Ian made no attempt to escape or resist, obediently following behind the three of them.

This wise choice saved him a lot of pain.

It wasn't until they reached the gates of Arkham Asylum that Ian clearly understood his destination and the identities of the three people.

The three of them: Karda Jin was the head of the asylum, the bald man who used poison was the asylum's attending physician, and the Lethal Beast...

Was actually the asylum's handyman?

These three terrifying monsters were all from Arkham Asylum???

Ian's mind struggled to process it.

Wasn't Arkham Asylum a hospital for treating mental illnesses? He'd never heard of it being some kind of terrorist organization...

Are hospitals this ruthless now?

A patient was kidnapped, and the hospital's director personally led the handyman and attending physician to snatch him back, even killing a mob boss's second-in-command along the way?

If he knew these secrets, would he die now...

For a moment, Ian's mind was a whirlwind of emotions, and he mechanically followed the three of them.

It wasn't until they entered Arkham Asylum and Dr. Hugo strapped him into a wheelchair that Ian snapped back to reality.

He looked down in horror to find himself bound in a thoroughly humiliating position in a wheelchair, with a mouse scroll wheel stuffed into his mouth.

Ian struggled frantically! All sorts of tragic scenarios flashed through his mind.

"Wuwuwu..." Unfortunately, Ian couldn't even speak, the mouse scroll wheel blocking his mouth.

Li Wei ignored Ian. For him, as long as the target lost the ability to resist, he could load the Hero Template onto them, regardless of whether they were willing or not.

What surprised Li Wei was that the way Dr. Hugo had tied Ian was strangely familiar.

His expression towards Dr. Hugo became somewhat subtle.

Was it some obscure perverted fetish of his, or was it because he had been rained on, so he wanted to tear up everyone else's umbrella?

"Let's begin, Director!" Under Li Wei's subtle gaze, Dr. Hugo took out a camera, pointed it at him and Ian, and rubbed his hands together expectantly. "Let him join the glorious evolution too!"

Chapter 48: Demolition Genius Jigs

"Let him join the glorious evolution too!"

Dr. Hugo's tone was infatuated and fanatical, sending a shiver down Ian's spine.

He didn't know what awaited him next, but he instinctively felt it wouldn't be anything good.

Li Wei, however, held a different opinion. Evolution and transformation were opportunities many people longed for.

After today, Ian would experience the most significant turning point in his life. He would be exposed to a higher level of the world and would soon understand them and join them.

Even Dr. Hugo back then probably didn't have the same compatibility as Ian and Demolition Genius Jigs!

He was like a vessel perfectly prepared for the Jigs template!

This was also one of the reasons he had brought people to retrieve Ian.

Without further ado, Li Wei didn't stop Dr. Hugo from wanting to record the entire process with the camera. He also wanted to see what Dr. Hugo could research.

He mentally communicated with the system and opened the store. Among the various Hero Templates, he found Demolition Genius Jigs.

Demolition Genius - Jigs: 1350 Soul Essence.

Click to purchase.

Balance: 1480 Soul Essence.

After a brief review, Li Wei had a general understanding of Jigs' abilities. It was likely that Arkham Asylum wouldn't be short of explosives for a long time to come.

Click to bestow.

A ball of dark red light appeared out of nowhere in Li Wei's hand. Unlike the balls of light that represented Singed and Warwick, this one had a different aura.

Explosions, nothing but explosions, endless explosions...

The aura was pure and dangerous.

Just looking at the ball of light made one feel as if it were a bomb capable of causing a massive explosion, one that could blow everything in sight sky-high!

Ian, in particular, was more familiar with explosives, and this feeling was even stronger for him!

When he saw Li Wei approaching him with a "perverted" smile on his face, Ian's face was filled with despair and terror.

He knew this scene all too well!

Wasn't this just a human bomb?

But the next moment, Ian's eyes widened, and all the horror on his face turned to shock.

Because as he watched, Li Wei pressed the ball of light in his hand onto him, but instead of exploding, it flowed into his body like water.

Before Ian could even comprehend what was happening, a sharp pain surged from deep within his body!
