American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 168 Young Man, You Look Like You Need Help

After finding the required spell in Kamar-Taki, Xiao Xian returned to the dimensional space.

Xiao Xian's hands began to swing slowly, and as he chanted the spell, the air began to stir, and the magic energy of hell gathered around him. As Xiao Xian chanted the spell, the magic energy around him became thicker and thicker, and gradually formed a ball of light in his palm. The ball of light seemed to contain endless light and shadows, constantly rotating and changing, waiting to be released.

After injecting spiritual energy into the light ball, Xiao Xian gently pushed his palm forward, and the light ball flew out, then disappeared into the dimensional space and went to the real world.

The streets of Gotham are always full of different colors and vitality. Even when night falls, it is never really quiet. Neon lights flicker, illuminating the busy streets. Pedestrians hurry, and everyone seems to have their own story and destination. Old buildings and modern skyscrapers are intertwined, telling the complex history and changes of this city. Street vendors, the aroma of restaurants, and the occasional sirens and gunshots in the distance together constitute Gotham's unique urban landscape.

On such an evening where the folk customs were as simple as ever, Xiao Xian walked out of a dark alley and blended into the night scene on the street.

Xiao Xian noticed that, unlike usual, no one paid attention to him as before, no curious glances, no fans rushing towards him, and no other women looking at him as if they wanted to eat him alive.

Walking past a store, Xiao Xian caught a glimpse of his current appearance with the help of the light reflected from the glass window. He saw the image of a middle-aged uncle: his hair was a little messy, his face had stubble from not shaving for a few days, and he looked a little tired and vicissitudes. He was dressed in ordinary clothes, an inconspicuous gray coat wrapped around his body, and he seemed to blend in with the night of Gotham.

"Not bad." Satisfied with his disguise, Xiao Xian nodded, then turned his attention to a girl with average looks but a well-proportioned figure.

The girl's makeup was heavy, with red lips, dark eye shadow, and eyelashes that were painted long and dense, making her look very gorgeous. Her facial features were exaggerated under the heavy makeup, but due to the limitations of makeup skills and facial features, the overall impression she gave was only above average, about 6 points. The most important thing was that she was wearing clothes from Xiao Xian's fan club, with the words "Xiao Xian I love you" printed on her chest.

Xiao Xian walked towards the girl without hesitation and tried to start a conversation in a friendly and polite manner: "Good evening, can I buy you a cup of coffee?"

However, the girl cast a look full of contempt towards Xiao Xian, and a sarcastic smile appeared on her lips, as if she was mocking Xiao Xian's boldness. She looked Xiao Xian up and down, and finally replied coldly: "You are worthy of chatting with me? Only Xiao Xian can win my heart." Her tone was full of disdain and contempt. She didn't even give Xiao Xian any chance to respond, and turned away, leaving Xiao Xian standing there.

"It's been a long time since I felt this way." Looking at the girl gradually walking away, Xiao Xian said with a bit of nostalgia. He was always pursued by girls, and suddenly he approached them but was rejected. This feeling was quite strange, should I explain it or not.

After confirming that acting through manipulating illusions would not have a super-charming effect, Xiao Xian nodded with satisfaction and could start to do things.

In a dark ward of Arkham Asylum, the Penguin was tightly bound, with a heavy corset around his body, restricting his every move. This is the most famous psychiatric treatment facility in Gotham City, which houses many mentally ill patients and talents. The Penguin, the last bloodline of the Cobblepot family and a well-known super villain in Gotham, is also a member here. The door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and a man in a nursing uniform walked in with a bowl of liquid food in his hand. There was a contemptuous smile on his face, and his eyes were full of contempt and disdain for the Penguin. Obviously, he had no fear or respect for this criminal who had caused countless disturbances in Gotham City.

"Penguin, it's time to eat! But wait a moment, Mr. Bruce asked us to take good care of you. I'll add some ingredients to make you eat more deliciously." In front of the penguin, the caregiver put the plate on the ground and urinated into it.

Then, the nurse walked over to the Penguin Man, lifted up the Penguin Man's head without any gentle movements, and prepared to force-feed him. The Penguin Man tried to resist, but because he was tightly bound by the corset, he could hardly move, and could only keep his mouth shut and make indistinct protests.

The nurse roughly pried open the Penguin Man's mouth with an attitude that almost seemed to enjoy torturing him. Ignoring his painful expression, he forced liquid food into his mouth through the hole in the Penguin Man's broken front teeth.

However, the Penguin was not completely powerless to fight back. At the moment when the nurse relaxed his vigilance after feeding him the food, the Penguin used his remaining strength to spray the liquid food in his mouth into the nurse's face with all his strength. This action was beyond the nurse's expectation, and he was caught off guard and sprayed with liquid food in his face.

The Penguin took the opportunity to laugh, his laughter was full of contempt for the nurse. Despite being in such a difficult situation, the counterattack at this moment gave the Penguin a long-lost sense of pleasure and victory.

In a place like Arkham, such behavior will only lead to more severe beatings and humiliation, but for the Penguin, it means that he has not surrendered and still retains the will and strength to resist. As long as he finds a chance to get out, the Penguin will make Batman and others who offend him pay the price in blood!
The caregiver, whose face was sprayed with urine-smelling liquid food, became angry and humiliated. He looked at the laughing Penguin Man, wiped the liquid food off his face casually, and then rushed over with a roar, punching the Penguin Man in the face like raindrops. However, this still could not stop the Penguin Man from laughing, but made the Penguin Man laugh even more happily.

Seeing that the penguin man was laughing more and more happily, the caregiver picked up the plate on the ground and planned to stuff it into the penguin man's mouth.

At this moment, Xiao Xian suddenly appeared in the corner of the room and snapped his fingers lightly.

Then the nurse suddenly felt dizzy, then lost consciousness and fell to the cold floor.

Although the Penguin was rescued by Xiao Xian's sudden appearance, he was wary of the identity and purpose of this mysterious middle-aged man. He tried to adjust his posture to make himself look less embarrassed, and asked in a vigilant tone: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

"Devil, always willing to help others." Xiao Xian smiled and said to the penguin, "Young man, you look like you need help."
