Tonight, Gotham is filled with lightning and thunder.
Outside, a storm rages; inside, chaos reigns.
Since he had just received his salary, Bai Lang decided to replace all the comforters, sheets, and pillows on his bed with new ones.
Bai Lang clutched the snow-white, soft pillow with both hands, his senses, far sharper than ordinary people's, growing increasingly intense.
And because of the electric current within him, both of them seemed to experience a unique, tingling sensation...
[Ability Points +4]
A light blue prompt box appeared before Bai Lang, but he paid it no mind.
The bed gradually grew calm. Catwoman, Selina, lay on the bed, fast asleep.
Bai Lang, however, sat up, sensing the changes within his body.
During those moments just now, all the cells in his body were in an excited state, and the electric current within him moved at his will.
Not only had he gained Ability Points, but his strength had also been significantly enhanced.
[Current Propulsion 260,000 Volts] → [Current Propulsion 270,000 Volts]
A full ten thousand Volt increase in Current Propulsion was a considerable boost to his strength.
Furthermore, he felt that all the cells in his body were still in that state of excited friction.
It was as if... these cells had found their purpose.
Bai Lang did not let this opportunity to improve his strength slip away. He immediately straightened his posture, immersing his mind in the friction of the cells within his body.
Wisps of golden-red current emerged from between the cells, then flowed along the gaps between them, converging into a terrifying, circuitous current.
This night, Gotham was destined to be sleepless.
The sun rose in the east, its brilliant golden light shining through the window onto the snow-white walls.
[Current Propulsion 270,000 Volts] → [Current Propulsion 300,000 Volts]
After a night of intense battle, Bai Lang seized the time, taking advantage of the extremely excited state of his cells to increase his Current Propulsion to 300,000 Volts.
His muscles were stimulated further, but they didn't grow larger again; instead, they seemed compressed and confined within this powerful, steel-like physique.
The terrifying, circuitous current within his body had also grown from the size of an egg to that of a goose egg.
"My physical fitness has ascended again, but it's nearing the limit of this body..."
Bai Lang opened his eyes. Although he hadn't slept all night, his current formidable stamina kept him energetic.
He could feel that his physical fitness was rapidly approaching the limits attainable by a human.
This wasn't the limit of human physique like Batman, Bruce Wayne, but the maximum stimulation and amplification the human body could withstand.
It's important to know that continuous electrical stimulation of cells causes them to develop in one direction, but when that direction approaches saturation, they collapse like bubbles.
Bai Lang's nerve cells, muscle cells, and other cells were constantly rubbing and rapidly multiplying.
They were now approaching saturation.
In other words, Bai Lang's physical fitness improvement had hit a bottleneck.
"To break through this bottleneck, I'll likely need to reach the realm of Magnetic Field Rotation..." Bai Lang's gaze was distant.
Reaching that realm would allow the cells to rotate and friction even faster and stronger, transforming the current into pure power that could alter his own and surrounding magnetic fields.
Altering his own magnetic field would allow him to break through this bottleneck.
Having figured this out, Bai Lang felt a sense of certainty and turned his head to the left.
Beside him, Catwoman, Selina, was still fast asleep, seemingly exhausted from their many rounds last night.
He stood up, put on his clothes, and prepared to go out for something to eat.
When Catwoman, Selina, woke up, she saw his bulging muscles, as solid as granite, and his handsome face.
She couldn't help but recall the unforgettable feeling from last night.
It was unlike anything she had ever experienced; this was the first time she felt like she had been electrocuted in that situation.
In fact, she had indeed been affected by the current emanating from Bai Lang.
"Should we do it a few more times?" she asked, still savoring the memory of last night, clearly not satisfied.
Bai Lang shook his head, ruthlessly rejecting Catwoman Selina's request to continue until late morning.
Yesterday, Judith had mentioned a gang that wanted to cooperate with them.
He didn't have a good impression of Gotham's various gangs, but the similar experiences of Mick and Molly taught him one thing.
These gangs could survive for a long time not only because of demand from the upper echelons but also due to the survival needs of the lower strata.
Therefore, he needed to investigate the gang called Night Raven.
What is most abundant in Gotham, you ask?
Criminals? No, it's gangs.
Gotham has a population of thirty million, and before Batman appeared, there were over five hundred gangs, big and small.
Gangs were intertwined with the lives of Gotham's underbelly.
If they had any other choice, who would risk their lives every day to be in a gang and commit illegal acts?
Not everyone is the Joker.
After understanding the situation of this gang, he would then use his methods to change it.
That would bring in a large number of Ability Points.
Before long, Bai Lang, wearing his black trench coat, appeared at the Park Street police station.
What puzzled him was that several police cars were parked in front of the station, and it seemed like some people from headquarters had arrived.
He walked into the police station. In the lobby, Ryan was looking through the files of a previous theft case, while Judith and the others had gone out on patrol with Edward.
In the center of the lobby, several middle-aged men were sitting, their faces looking somewhat troubled.
Bai Lang recognized them: one was the portly Detective Bullock, next to him was the Black Detective Ollie, and in the middle was the head of headquarters—Director Gordon.
"What's wrong? Director Gordon?" Bai Lang asked as he entered.
"And Detective Bullock and Detective Ollie, why are you all here at Park Street?"
"Bai Lang, we received a message that a mysterious organization plans to assassinate Dr. Arkham," Director Gordon said with a worried frown.
Clearly, he was very troubled after learning this news, as Dr. Arkham was the head of Arkham Asylum.
And the mentally ill patients locked up in Arkham Asylum were all notorious criminals in Gotham.
If Dr. Arkham were killed, Gotham would fall into chaos.
"You know, if anything goes wrong at Arkham Asylum, Gotham is finished. So, I need to mobilize all the city's police force to guard Arkham Island."
Bai Lang nodded and said to Ryan beside him, "Ryan, notify Judith and Susan, and have them go to Arkham Island with Director Gordon."
"Aren't you going?" Gordon asked in surprise.
"If all the city's police force goes to guard Arkham Island, what about Gotham? Someone has to stay behind to maintain order in this city, right?"
Bai Lang chuckled lightly.
Hearing this, Detective Bullock beside him patted his shoulder.
"Good kid, I knew long ago you were a promising talent!"
Gordon couldn't help but be stunned by Bai Lang's words and re-examined the young man before him.
He nodded and smiled, "Then the next few nights in Gotham will be entrusted to you and all the police officers staying behind."
Ryan quickly boarded Director Gordon's police car with Judith and the others and headed for Arkham Island.
Bai Lang, on the other hand, stayed behind to guard Gotham City for the next few nights.
