"What?!"
Just as everyone was confused, several streaks of fire rapidly enlarged in Captain America's vision."Watch out!"
Right after he shouted, several RPG rockets were fired from a distant building, shooting straight into the floor they were on. A massive explosion erupted instantly. The powerful blast sent Captain America and the others flying far back.
Han Yu and the other two were also blasted away by the shockwave, rolling across the ground and coughing repeatedly. But because of the thick smoke and dust, their bodies appeared completely unharmed.
"Pietro, not bad. That blast didn't even scratch you?" Ultron looked at Quicksilver.
The latter patted the dust off his clothes—perfectly fine, not a single injury.
"Of course. Look."
Quicksilver pulled his shirt slightly to show Ultron a thin layer of green energy coating the inside, perfectly fitted to his clothing without the slightest distortion.
"I've long since gotten used to covering my body with Green Lantern energy. Otherwise, with my old physique, one bullet would've killed me. I'm a speedster—getting shot to death would be way too embarrassing."
Han Yu burst into laughter on the ground—not just because of what he said, but because in the timeline he remembered, Quicksilver really was killed by bullets.
He always thought it made no sense—a speedster, killed by bullets?Who would believe that? He'd never seen a speedster that humiliating.
"Boss, why aren't you getting up?" Quicksilver asked, confused.
"Play dead for a bit. Otherwise he won't come out."
Han Yu rolled his eyes, exaggerating his movements, rolling again to cover himself in more dust, making himself look miserable.
Ultron and Quicksilver exchanged a glance before also realizing the idea. If the enemy saw them perfectly fine, he definitely wouldn't show himself.
So they copied Han Yu and rolled in the dust too, only getting up when Captain America and the others finally stood.
"Enemy attack!"
Because the explosion was so close, even Captain America and the Winter Soldier—both enhanced humans—experienced dizziness and ringing in their ears. They didn't notice Han Yu's group's earlier little act.
Seeing Han Yu's group standing, Steve and Bucky split up to help Nick Fury and Natasha. Unlike them, the latter two didn't have strong bodies—although they weren't hit directly, the shockwave had done a number on them.
When Nick Fury tried to stand, a surge rushed through his chest, and he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Natasha, meanwhile, couldn't get up at all. The explosion had sent debris into her right calf, and the sharp pain left her unable to stand.
"You guys okay?" Captain America asked.
Han Yu and the others nodded.
At that moment, the door was kicked open. Outside lay many bodies—if nothing unexpected happened, all those "unexpected things" had happened to them.
A group of people walked in. The one leading them looked both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. Seeing his face, Han Yu, Ultron, and Quicksilver all widened their eyes slightly.
It was Pierce—but his face was painted with a familiar makeup: smoky eyes and lipstick stretching nearly to the ears. Han Yu instantly recognized it.
It was Joker makeup—from GTA.
"Why so serious?"
The line came out of Pierce's mouth. Others might not feel anything special about it, but to Han Yu, the words thundered through his mind—this was the catchphrase of his Joker from his previous life.
"What the hell happened to this guy?"
Han Yu frowned. When Pierce fled the grocery store out of fear that day, he hadn't bothered chasing him. As a high-ranking Hydra operative, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were guaranteed to track and arrest him.
But according to what Steve had said earlier, Pierce went berserk after being captured, injuring people and acting completely differently from before.
Steve thought Pierce was like a cornered dog, revealing his true nature. It sounded reasonable to Han Yu at the time—Pierce had been terrified by him, and years of planning had collapsed. A mental breakdown wasn't surprising.
But seeing this makeup now, Han Yu realized things were not that simple.
He stepped forward, face darkening."Who taught you how to do that makeup?"
Ultron and Quicksilver exchanged another glance. They could clearly sense Han Yu's tone was strange—there was anger in it.
Ultron whispered, "What's wrong with the boss?"
Quicksilver whispered back, "No idea. Maybe he's mad about getting blown up?"
"Of course he's mad! Would you be happy if you got blown up?"
"…Or maybe he's angry someone copied his character without permission?"
"You… I swear, among idiots you're the most special one."
While the two whispered nonsense, Han Yu had already walked right up to Pierce.
"Hey, so you're that godly being, huh? What's wrong? Why are you covered in dust? You're supposed to be some almighty being, high and mighty—you shouldn't look like this."
Pierce sneered and brushed the dust off Han Yu, his voice dripping with mockery.
"I asked you—who taught you that makeup?!"
Han Yu grabbed Pierce by the throat and lifted him off the ground.
Why so urgent?Because if this makeup wasn't learned from GTA, but taught by someone—
Then Han Yu needed to find the source.
Because the original owner of this makeup—the Joker—whether in comics or movies, was an undisputed villain.Unlikely as it was, if Joker had crossed into this world, it would cause massive chaos.
One "good and wholesome" Gotham City was enough.Han Yu absolutely did not want this world turning into that kind of place.
He wouldn't be harmed, of course—but it was still his place of residence.If Joker dared come, he'd kill him without hesitation.
"Oh, careful now. I planted bombs on every floor. No matter how fast you are, I can still press the button before I die."
Even strangled, Pierce cackled, mocking nonstop.Seeing Han Yu unmoving, he thought he'd scared him, laughing even harder.
"Weren't you supposed to be amazing? Come on then—be amazing! I did all this just to lure you out. Of course I know how strong you are. That's why I prepared all these people to die with me! Go on—crush my neck, and let everyone die with me!"
Han Yu raised his head. His cold, razor-sharp gaze made the already-deranged Pierce shudder involuntarily—terror rising straight from his soul.
Han Yu grinned.
"Pietro. Bombs. Take care of it."
"No problem, boss!"
In the blink of an eye, a pile of bombs appeared in front of Pierce.
He recognized them instantly—they were the ones he had planted on every floor.
