Ambush Batman Plan

"Wuwuwu…"

In the darkness, a crying sound could be heard, seemingly from a woman.

"Joker… I'll kill Batman to avenge you!"

The woman's voice sounded like she was in her early twenties, very young.

"Harley, you don't need to be sad about that heartless guy. I'm still here. He's abandoned you so many times, you should have forgotten him long ago."

Another mature, husky voice chimed in.

"What are you going to do with this person you saved? He seems to be a detective from the police department."

"How about we first…?" Before the young woman's voice could finish, it was as if something blocked her words.

Then, a faint moaning sound filled the room.

A pleasant scent permeated the air, rich and fragrant.

It seemed to be a floral scent.

Bai Lang's eyes snapped open abruptly, the bright sunlight stinging his eyes so much he couldn't open them.

He subconsciously activated his blue panel, shielding his eyes from the harsh light.

[Name: Bai Lang]
[Lifespan: 23/120]
[Abilities: Level 1 Firearms Mastery (71%), Level 2 Combat Mastery (5%), Current Propulsion 164,000 Volts/500,000 Volts (Advanced Ability: Magnetic Field Rotation)]
[Ability Points: 28 (Gained by influencing the world)]
[Can spend 50 Ability Points to draw other abilities or unlock a function]

"That's better…"

Feeling the light dimming before his eyes, Bai Lang finally opened them and saw the white ceiling above him.

And the two women next to him, kissing.

"Where am I?"

Bai Lang was a little dazed.

The woman on the left was wearing a baseball jersey, with bright red lipstick and blush on her cheeks.

The taller one on the right had a cascade of fiery red, wavy long hair, her pale skin tinged with green. Her crucial areas were covered by plants, exuding a mature and sexy aura.

He remembered collapsing in an alleyway before losing consciousness. How did he end up in a place like this?

He naturally recognized the two women before him: "Harley Quinn" and "Poison Ivy."

But the question was, how did he get here? Was he rescued by Harley Quinn?

"Uh…" Just as Bai Lang was about to speak, the current within his body crackled, clearing out some foreign substances he had inhaled.

This fragrance, combined with "Poison Ivy's" identity, suggested the air was filled with spores.

Don't underestimate these spores. Once inhaled, if Poison Ivy willed it, various plants would grow in your stomach.

Until your body was finally pierced by the plants, leading to death.

Almost instantly, the moment she sensed that the spores in Bai Lang's body were being cleared, "Poison Ivy" Ivy, holding "Harley Quinn's" head, turned and stared at Bai Lang.

"My spores can't enter your body, why is that?"

Her face showed a hint of surprise, seemingly curious why the spores she controlled were being eliminated by Bai Lang's body.

Harley, seeing her good friend "Poison Ivy's" reaction, also turned her gaze to the waking Bai Lang.

"Perhaps my body is quite special?"

Bai Lang noticed that the bullets on his body had been removed at some point, and even his wounds were bandaged.

He controlled the current in his body to stimulate the cells at the wound site, speeding up their metabolism to quickly heal his injuries.

A tingling sensation spread from his wounds. Bai Lang knew that these gunshot wounds would take at least five to six days to heal.

"Um… thank you very much for saving me, but can I leave now? I'm still a police officer, and I have areas to patrol."

"I will repay you."

Seeing both of them staring at him, Bai Lang said somewhat unnaturally.

A dim light flickered in Ivy's eyes.

She wanted Harley to keep him, so she could research why her spores lost all their activity the moment they entered his body.

But Harley didn't care about that. Rescuing Bai Lang was just a habit from her past as a doctor.

Even though she was a psychiatrist, who said a psychiatrist wasn't a doctor?

"No need for repayment." She nodded and replied in a slightly nasal voice, "You can leave."

Receiving an affirmative answer, Bai Lang immediately got out of bed, nodded at the two women, and stumbled out of the house, down the stairs, and onto the street.

The street was sparsely populated, with only a few figures walking on the road.

Bai Lang's steps gradually shifted from a stooped stagger to an upright stride, moving with the speed of a swift.

There was no sign he had been shot.

However, his injuries were far from healed and were accompanied by intense pain.

But Bai Lang was that kind of person.

Everyone has moments of being disheveled, but no one stays that way forever.

Rather than walking unsteadily, it was better to face Gotham City head-on today.

Yet, he hadn't gone far before his superhuman hearing picked up the plans of Harley and Ivy from the fifth floor of a building.

"...To ambush Batman, we first need to create a lure. What do you have in mind, Harley..."

"There's a new Joker in the fashion district recently. I've already met him. I plan to team up with him to create a series of murders to lure Batman into a trap..."

"And then avenge Joker... Mmmph..."

It seemed Harley hadn't finished her plan before something muffled her mouth.

Hearing the low hum in his ears, Bai Lang couldn't help but quicken his pace towards Park Street, his jurisdiction.

Park Street was the area Bai Lang was assigned to after becoming a Detective. Normally, petty crimes like theft and robbery were handled by him and his five subordinates.

But before he could bring Ryan and the others over, he went to find Deathstroke and ended up being hit by his shotgun blast as he died.

"I wonder if I brought this suffering upon myself. I had no grudge against Deathstroke, yet one of us died and the other was injured."

Bai Lang shook his head, his gaze returning to the blue panel before him.

Upon seeing the 28 Ability Points, he admitted he had a moment of greed.

So far, Bai Lang had gained the most Ability Points from killing. The first time he gained 20 Ability Points was when he killed the Joker, and the second time was when he killed Deathstroke.

If he killed all the superheroes and supervillains in this world, his Ability Points would surely pile up.

Bai Lang disdained being someone who only killed; that was too extreme and didn't fit his personality.

When he killed the Joker before, he had indeed entertained the thought of using the Dionysus Factor or the Joker Virus as a shortcut to improve his magnetic field cultivation.

But he found that his will seemed unable to control the burgeoning power.

For example, he thought he could handle Deathstroke, but he was suppressed by Deathstroke's electromagnetic pulse and almost died from a shotgun blast.

Once a person becomes arrogant, they are not far from ruin.

So he decided to cultivate steadily for a while before making further plans.

"Officer Bai, good morning!"

These past few days, whenever Bai Lang passed by the street near his home, he would always see an old man with a child setting up a stall selling burritos.

The temperature in Gotham had started to drop recently, but the old man was still wearing a thin black shirt.

Beside him, the child wore a padded coat several sizes too big, shivering and blocking the wind with his hands.

Bai Lang walked up to the stall and smiled, "One burrito, please."

"You're still out here selling in this cold weather?"

The old man's face was full of wrinkles, his brows drooped, and his hands looked swollen, as large as ping-pong paddles.

Seeing a customer, he immediately got busy.

"Can't be helped. No matter how cold it gets, I have to earn money. Life goes on."

Just then, the phone in Bai Lang's pocket rang.

"Ring ring ring..."

He answered the call.

"Hello?"

Ryan's voice came from the other end, sounding anxious.

"Bai Lang! You finally picked up! There have been several gruesome murders in the Upper District. Hurry over!"
