Chapter 7 - 7

Li Chengfeng was stunned. Was it already completed?

He had thought the mission would only be officially complete after he reported back to Fury.

The system prompt continued to sound.

"Mission-related characters: Ada Wong, Harley Quinn, Batman, Joker"

"Random reward draw in progress..."

"Obtained Ada Wong's Undercover Disguise Skill"

"Obtained Harley Quinn's Flexibility"

"Obtained Batman's Willpower"

"Obtained dionysus factor"

Among the characters in the draw, those with numerous skills tended to 'pollute' the prize pool.

The first three were fairly standard, with Batman's Willpower being the only truly noteworthy one, as it was enough to wield a green lantern ring.

But compared to the dionysus factor, it seemed ordinary.

Among these four, the most powerful ability was probably the Joker's dionysus factor.

Vandal Savage the "Savage," Ra's al Ghul the "Demon's Head," and the Talons of the Court of Owls were all infamous villains, yet they were merely possessors of a degraded dionysus factor.

Only the Joker possessed the pure dionysus factor, granting him near-immortality, almost transcending natural laws.

However, whether degraded or pure, the dionysus factor only provided abilities like self-healing, eternal youth, and even resurrection; it did not enhance physical attributes.

Thinking of this, Li Chengfeng couldn't help but show a hint of a triumphant smile.

He had obtained such a life-saving, self-healing ability on his first completed mission.

For someone who, before transmigration, had only ever won two bags of soy sauce as their biggest prize, this was simply incredibly good luck.

However, displaying such a smile while still sporting Harley Quinn's freshly imprinted lipstick mark made him appear somewhat lewd.

"Ahem, Ada, your expression is a bit off."

"In this situation, it's already difficult enough for me to suppress the urge to call the police."

"Don't be silly, you call the police in front of me, I answer the phone in front of you, what can you do to me? Besides, we still have problems to solve." Li Chengfeng joked, then walked towards the door, "This is the Joker. Since he's come to Arkham Asylum, it means his ever-present organization has also come out in full force."

"Joker Gang." Batman, who had been silent for a long time, spoke. He looked at Harley Quinn with a complicated expression, "If there are no surprises, the Joker's rescue of Harley Quinn this time is just a ruse. His true intention is to attack and occupy the entire Arkham Asylum, isn't it?"

Harley Quinn's face also changed, and then she pulled the trigger on the Joker's corpse again.

The last bullet was also sent into the corpse.

Then a series of "clicks" interrupted everyone's thoughts.

"Magazines." Harley Quinn naturally extended her hand towards Li Chengfeng, "Out of bullets."

Li Chengfeng didn't hesitate, stuffing all three magazines into her hand.

But no one expected that after getting the bullets, she reversed her grip on the magnum's barrel and swung the gun butt fiercely at the Joker's already-holed head.

Now the hole in his head was even bigger.

"Used, used again. Joker, I once admired you so much. Harleen Quinzel kept reminding me, but I always ignored it." Harley Quinn calmly stared at the Joker's tattered head, "I heard you can resurrect endlessly, so from now on, I will make a big hole like this in your head, again and again."

"Alright, big sister, stop making threats, let's solve the Joker Gang problem, okay?" Li Chengfeng showed an anxious expression, but his heart was not flustered at all, "As a former accomplice, you know how big the Joker Gang is. One wrong move, and it'll be us mere mortals who get taken out."

Although Batman didn't say a word, he had the same thought.

If they were careless today, it was indeed possible to be overturned.

It was well-known that although he always won arranged fights, he always lost chance encounters.

If he couldn't utilize his 'money ability' and planning skills, then Batman was merely a representative of peak human potential.

Fighting dozens of people hand-to-hand might still be within his limits.

But facing hundreds of armed enemies, the difficulty would increase exponentially, and one wrong move could lead to serious trouble.

This World clearly hadn't established the so-called Justice League yet, and Batman was so young that the Bat-Family hadn't even been formed. Otherwise, with Batman's personality, he would have definitely called for backup long ago.

He was probably still in the rebellious, lone-wolf stage.

"However, if the Joker Gang launches a full-scale assault on Arkham Asylum, then this fat guy's son is probably safe." Li Chengfeng turned his head, pointing at the shivering turncoat Dean cowering on the sofa, "You, carry the Joker's corpse and come with us."

"Ah? Me?"

"Otherwise? If you're willing to go head-to-head with the Joker Gang, I can carry him for you."

"No, no, no! I'll carry him! I'll carry him!"

As soon as he thought of the Joker Gang, that army of lunatics, he immediately changed his tune.

Carrying the Joker's corpse was much better than directly going to his death.

"Very good, let's move."

With that, Li Chengfeng took the lead, and he and Batman were the first to walk out the door.

They were followed by a calm Ada and an excited Harley Quinn, who looked like she was going to a party.

Last was the pale-faced turncoat, carrying the Joker's corpse.

Loosening his tie, unbuttoning his shirt cuffs, and flexing his wrists, Li Chengfeng looked at Batman and asked with a playful smile, "How about it, Batman, confident you can break through?"

"Are you too relaxed? Aren't you worried at all?"

"Not really, I'm pretty good at fighting... Holy cow, so many people?"

They arrived at the patients' activity hall. The place, which had been empty when they arrived, was now continuously being flooded with people wearing Joker makeup and Joker-themed clothing.

Once they passed through here, they would reach the area where the severely ill patients, meaning the various supervillains, were held.

Arkham Asylum's defense system had completely collapsed under the Joker Gang's full-scale invasion, and the key to the severe "ward" was already in the hands of the leading woman.

Highlighted high ponytail, straight brows with bangs, and a simple Joker makeup with black and blush as the main theme.

The purple three-quarter sleeves and ripped purple jumpsuit were classic Joker colors.

Laughing Gas, Alexis.

The second-generation Harley Quinn, Harley Quinn's replacement.

Unlike the flamboyant and outgoing Harley, Laughing Gas appeared to be a calm and introverted assassin.

Especially with the cold, gleaming double-edged daggers in her hands.

"That fat man... leave Mr. J behind."

"Impossible." Li Chengfeng looked at the information feedback on his personal terminal, then stepped forward, rejecting Laughing Gas's demand, "The Joker is Gotham City's and even America's most vicious criminal. Even if he is killed, his body must be handed over to the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) for disposal."

"How about this? You hand over Mr. J's corpse, and I can let you leave unharmed." Laughing Gas's forced smile looked somewhat sinister, "It's just a corpse..."

"What's the difference between giving you a corpse that can resurrect and releasing a tiger back into the mountains?"

"How do you know... Never mind." Laughing Gas shook the dagger in her hand and ordered, "Tear them apart! Including that Batman!"

"What's with these lunatics, always trying to attack government officials?" Li Chengfeng shook his head, expressing his incomprehension, "I can give you all one chance now: surrender immediately, and the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) can spare your lives. But if you insist on resisting, I will not hesitate to shoot you."

Batman looked coldly at the Joker Gang members in front of him and asked in a low voice:

"Do you think the few of us can take on the entire Joker Gang? Although there are only dozens of people here, there are at least hundreds, if not more, outside."

"As Gotham City's Dark Knight, I don't believe you don't have a backup plan. Otherwise, if you can't even deal with a Joker Gang without the Joker, you shouldn't even be in this business." Li Chengfeng's tone was flippant. Seeing the other party's expression grow colder, he continued, "But you should save your backup for other criminals in Gotham City. Let me handle this one."

"Officer! Are you going to take on so many people bare-handed?"

Ada quickly stepped forward, trying to grab his sleeve, but she was a step too late.

Li Chengfeng walked in front of the increasingly frenzied Joker Gang, spread his arms, and then turned his face to look at Ada Wong.

"Ada, don't forget we are FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) Agents, proper government officials..."

"We have people above us."

Saying that, he glanced at the terminal again and tapped it a few times.

"Hello? Hello! Didn't you say you were already here?"

No sooner had he spoken than the dome of Arkham Asylum was instantly shattered into dust.

The kind with no rubble, just flying ash everywhere.

Then a red and gold armored mech, carrying sunlight, descended from the sky through the flying ash.

"Good afternoon, my friends. I heard someone was entangled by the mad clowns of the circus?"
