"This is interesting," Morin thought, stopping his planned action and turning around to look in the direction of the voice.
Gotham's police officers are basically just a front. Otherwise, these small-time thugs wouldn't be so brazen as to stake out and mug people in an alley not far from the police station, and the police wouldn't mostly ignore it.
I say "mostly" because now, this unexpected surprise had just arrived.
Morin saw a police officer in uniform holding a Glock pistol, pointing it at them.
And in the faint moonlight, with Morin's eyesight, he could clearly see the officer's face.
Morin's mind immediately became clear.
No wonder he would bother with this.
It was Gordon, Batman's old flame and the future Commissioner of the Gotham City Police Department!
"I'll say this again, and I won't say it a third time," Gordon threatened. "Put down your weapons, put your hands behind your heads, and squat."
"Alright, Gordon, you always like to poke your nose into other people's business, don't you?" The leading thug cursed his bad luck and said, "We're leaving!"
The lead thug knew that Gordon was one of the few police officers in Gotham who didn't take bribes and still had a righteous heart.
Of course, to them, that wasn't a righteous heart; he was just an inflexible, meddlesome beat cop.
The problem was that while Gotham's thugs looked down on the police, they didn't dare to actively provoke them, and certainly couldn't do whatever they wanted.
At least, a small-time thug like him definitely didn't have the guts to do so.
Otherwise, they would have just robbed people on the street. Why would they hide in an alley?
Wait... if they were at that level, they wouldn't need to rob people. Wouldn't doing some other big business be more profitable?
So, as a small-time thug whose skills were so limited that he could only try his luck mugging people in an alley, the lead thug decisively decided to let this person go for today.
After all, the police officer had a gun.
"Then get lost," Gordon said unpleasantly, not intending to keep these thugs.
After all, these thugs had criminal records, but their crimes were limited to petty theft and robbery. Such crimes would only result in a short time in prison.
Not to mention, the thugs hadn't even had the chance to commit the robbery this time, so it was even more useless.
At most, they'd be detained for a while and then released, which was a complete waste of energy!
That's right, even Gordon had to adapt to the police department environment of a place like Gotham.
Although he hadn't become one of the corrupt police officers and still insisted on upholding justice and the law, he had become accustomed to many things.
In the beginning, he was also a hot-blooded person who wanted to bring about change, but... after many setbacks since joining the force, he could only insist on not becoming corrupt.
As for anything more, he would help if he could, but if he couldn't, there was nothing he could do.
Gordon had seen Morin walk into this alley, which was why he had followed.
Because of Morin's skin color, clothes, looks, and demeanor, he didn't look like an ordinary person. So, when Morin was standing on the street, he quickly caught Gordon's attention.
Thinking about the trouble it would cause if something happened to such a person, Gordon followed him in and proactively stopped the thugs from robbing him.
He wasn't a mind reader, so he naturally didn't know what Morin was planning. In his opinion, someone like Morin was probably a foreigner who had come to Gotham on a whim without knowing anything about it.
After ensuring the safety of this foreign person who seemed to be of some standing, Gordon thought about warning him later.
So, when the lead thug heard this, he waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to leave with him.
However, at that moment, a voice made them stop in their tracks.
"Come on, are you really just going to leave?" Morin's voice rang out. "I don't think I've said anything yet?"
Gordon's heart sank.
Why would you say something right now?!
The reason Gordon let the thugs go, besides being too lazy to take them back, was also because his years of work experience had taught him a truth: never push these thugs too hard.
In Gotham, these villains are already very arrogant. With a large portion of the police being corrupt, the police's deterrent power over these thugs is already very low.
So, once these thugs are pushed to a certain point, they are capable of doing anything!
Gordon did have a gun, but he wasn't sure if the other side had guns!
What's more, the alley was narrow, and the distance between them wasn't great. If these thugs really charged at them without a care for their own lives...
Gordon thought of this and immediately said in a severe tone, "Get lost! And you, say less!"
"..." The leading thug was silent for a moment. He thought about it and decided to turn around and leave.
However, this time, Morin didn't bother with any more words.
He took a step forward and knocked a thug down with a single punch.
"Fck," "Sht," and other curses filled the air as the thugs reacted and began to attack Morin.
We were about to leave, and you dare to attack first?
Do we thugs have no dignity?
So, the thugs excitedly took out their weapons and charged at Morin.
Gordon didn't even have time to let his heart sink; he was completely stunned.
Seriously, are you out of your mind?!
Gordon roared internally. He hesitated for a moment, then raised his gun, ready to shoot.
However, his finger was on the trigger, but he couldn't pull it.
He saw a scene that made him wonder if his eyes were tired from all the work.
Morin had disappeared. No, to be more precise, Morin had transformed into a shadow, moving through the crowd.
There were about a dozen thugs gathered together. The time it took for the shadow that was Morin to pass through them was less than two or three seconds.
Then, all of them fell down, lifeless.
Morin, of course, hadn't used his full strength. He just wanted to show off a little, specifically for Gordon's benefit.
If he had used his full strength... it might have been over in less than a second, and what if Gordon couldn't see it?
So, Morin chose a speed that was just enough to exceed Gordon's understanding of the world, but also allowed Gordon to clearly see what was happening.
Gordon's reaction didn't disappoint Morin.
It wasn't until the shadow that was Morin returned to its physical form and appeared in front of Gordon that Gordon finally reacted.
He looked at Morin, his expression a little panicked. He instinctively raised his gun and aimed it at Morin.
"Who are you? Stay away from me!"
Gordon was completely stunned. He didn't know how Morin had done what he did, and he didn't know what had happened to the thugs.
His mind didn't have the capacity to process all of this right now.
He only knew one thing: the man in front of him was very dangerous!
Morin had no intention of provoking Gordon further. His initial intention for showing off was to get straight to the main storyline.
So, under Gordon's tense gaze, Morin said with a smile, "I'm the new police officer, who hasn't reported for duty yet, Sergeant Gordon."
"I'm the new,"
"hasn't reported for duty yet,"
"police officer"...
There weren't many words in Morin's sentence, but they kept echoing in Gordon's mind.
After a while, Gordon finally understood the meaning of the words Morin had said.
Then, he was completely stunned.
"You said..." Gordon licked his lips, which were a little dry from being too nervous.
"You said you're a new police officer who hasn't reported for duty yet?"
"Mmm."
"Ready to join the GCPD?"
"Yes."
"Do you have any proof?"
"Of course," Morin nodded, reaching into his pocket and taking out a document, which he handed to Gordon.
"You can put down your gun. Believe me, Sergeant Gordon, if I wanted to, you wouldn't have a chance to fire a shot before you ended up like those thugs on the ground."
"..." Gordon thought about it and put down his gun. He knew that what Morin said was true, and looking at Morin's attitude, he didn't seem to have any ill intentions.
Then, Gordon took the document from Morin.
However, they were in a dark alley, so he couldn't make out the words on the document at all.
Morin showed that he was a very considerate person and cast [Light Orb] to provide some light, making it easier for Gordon to check his document.
"Thank you," Gordon said subconsciously, looking at the light source, and then turned to look at the document.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
A few drops of sweat appeared on Gordon's forehead.
He wasn't actually looking at the contents of the document, because he remembered that the light source Morin had just provided came from...
His finger?
As if he had been turned into a block of wood, Gordon tentatively turned his neck and slowly looked at Morin.
"What's wrong?" Morin asked with a smile.
However, upon seeing the light source in Morin's hand, Gordon's eyes widened instantly.
"You... your finger is glowing?" Gordon shrieked instinctively.
"Oh... you mean this..." Morin thought for a moment. Then, the light went out and came back on again.
"See? It's just a small light bulb, and it can even change colors."
What Morin had in his hand was a magician's finger light, a small magic prop that Morin had just taken out of his storage space to use as an excuse.
Morin didn't care about exposing his magic. After all, they were on the same side, so what was there to worry about?
Besides, if he wanted to make things happen in Gotham, how could he not show off some of his abilities?
It was just a small [Light Orb]; no big deal. He could just find an excuse to cover it up. If Gordon believed it, great. If not, he could explain it later.
"..." Gordon looked at the two small light bulbs that had appeared on Morin's finger and swallowed.
"Oh, I see..."
He was certain that what he had seen before was not those two small light bulbs, but a glowing finger!
But he didn't dare to call Morin out on it now.
Because he also remembered what Morin had just done... could a person who could turn into a shadow and take down a dozen people in a few seconds be an ordinary person?
That question didn't even need to be asked.
So, Gordon had an epiphany.
He chose to view Morin as a non-human being and instantly felt that a glowing finger was nothing to be surprised about!
With this kind of mental fortitude, it was no wonder Gordon was able to quickly accept the existence of Batman and work with him.
Soon, Gordon's attention was back on the document Morin had given him.
After checking it repeatedly, Gordon was certain that everything Morin said was true... wait, no, he should have said that Morin's document was genuine.
To Gordon, Morin was now more or less on the same level as an alien. Even forging documents wouldn't be an impossible thing for him, would it?
"Since that's the case, I can take you to the police station to complete the employment process, but what about them..." Gordon decided not to confront Morin just yet.
He wanted to figure out Morin's motive first. Then, he remembered the thugs lying on the ground.
Morin's movements were too fast, and the environment was too dark. Moreover, after the thugs fell down, they didn't make a sound, so Gordon had no idea what their specific condition was.
"Oh, they're all dead," Morin said.
Gordon was silent.
For a moment, he felt fear, both for Morin's strange methods and for the fact that when Morin said that, his tone was completely indifferent, without a hint of emotion.
It was as if he were saying, "Today is Monday," or "I had dinner tonight," with the same ease.
How many people must one have killed to be able to say something like that with such a tone?!
Gordon felt that he might have gotten himself into a huge mess.
"Ahahaha, were you scared?" Morin's laugh first startled Gordon. Then, upon understanding what Morin meant, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was just kidding. They're not dead. They're just unconscious."
"Ahahaha, were you scared?" Morin's laugh first startled Gordon. Then, upon understanding what Morin meant, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was just kidding. They're not dead. They're just unconscious."
