American comic book police officer survival manual

"So, you're saying that all of this was caused by that student? And their goal was to steal the body of the previous victim?"

Seeing the officers who should have been on leave standing before him giving their year-end reports, Sergeant Gordon's expression was complicated as he kept glancing at the mess around him.

Crushed trash cans, huge craters carved into the walls, and the mutilated corpses of students, their flesh torn in large chunks...

"If all of this is because Jeremy used some kind of illegal drug, then where did that huge bullet hole in his body come from?"

Faced with the only "eyewitness" at the scene, Gordon, despite his many questions, could only patiently ask him questions slowly.

"Well..."

After a moment's hesitation, Lucius scratched his head:

"You know, I had a few friends when I was working in New York."

"A friend who uses a sniper rifle?"

With a sharp look in his eyes, Sheriff Gordon couldn't believe what this guy was saying.

"Ahem, this involves classified information, I can't reveal it."

Using Natasha's unique identity to fool Gordon, Lucius blamed all the damage on Jeremy.

Sheriff Gordon picked up the needle, which was already wrapped in an evidence bag, and handed it to the examiner.

"Jeremy used a special drug that made him lose his mind and simultaneously granted him an extremely terrifying physical enhancement... but your partner helped shoot and kill Jeremy in the nick of time..."

Muttering the "facts" Lucius had stated, Gordon's many years of experience as a police officer told him that things were not as simple as Lucius made them out to be.

Judging from the damage at the scene, it's highly unlikely that the student who used illegal drugs was killed by a sniper immediately.

Pull out the trash can, crush the steel...

The brute force displayed by the opponent was like that of a rampaging brown bear!

To survive such an attack, Lucius's abilities far exceed my previous assessment...

However, Lucius didn't want to say it, and Sheriff Gordon couldn't force him to.

"Let's put those things aside for now. Do you know where these things came from?"

Pointing to the packaging bag in the inspector's hand, Sheriff Gordon was now even more worried about the massive production of this terrible contraband.

If Gotham's gangs or other organizations were to acquire the means to make ordinary people as strong as bears, Gordon wouldn't even dare to imagine the chaos that would ensue in Gotham!

"I don't know. All I know for now is that this stuff has huge side effects on the human body... It can cause people to lose their minds after use, and even after the effects wear off, it can probably leave behind some long-term effects that are difficult to cure."

Thinking of Jeremy's resolute and resentful attitude before using the potion, Lucius knew that this thing would inevitably come at a huge price.

Before returning to his numerous subordinates, Sheriff Gordon glanced sideways at Lucius, who was unwilling to say anything more.

"You lost the body of the person who committed suicide, and yet you failed to find any clues whatsoever?"

"No...this might all be related to the Mad Hatter."

Recalling the gaunt man with the strange top hat, Lucius told Commissioner Gordon everything about the chip.

"Damn it... how do you always manage to find these guys??"

Upon hearing that the Mad Hatter might be behind all of this, Sheriff Gordon's expression changed again.

That notorious villain seemed to always possess some kind of instrument that could manipulate people's minds.

Several major cases from before are still unresolved, and they've just sent in a scarecrow, how did Lucius discover the Mad Hatter?!

Shouldn't that guy be imprisoned in Arkham? When did he get out?

Seeing that Sheriff Gordon's face was getting increasingly grim, Lucius raised his wrist to check the time, then waved and prepared to make a quick getaway.

No matter how difficult the Gotham Police Department is now, Lucius has already confessed about things like the Black Doves and the Mad Hatter.

He's currently on leave, and being able to help handle the situation is already an extra favor, so naturally he doesn't need to suffer alongside everyone to continue the investigation.

"I will remain at Gotham University during this time, and I will report any further leads to you."

"Hey!"

Gordon initially wanted Lucius to stay and continue helping, but considering that a female college student was also on the Gotham campus, he ultimately abandoned the idea of ​​having the hard-working Lucius continue working.

"Alright, let that guy rest for a bit."

Thinking of his daughter, who also studied at the same school, Gordon rubbed his temples and continued to focus with utmost concentration.

Gordon activated the tracker Lucius had provided and waved to a few of his more trusted men, signaling them to track the pickup truck's possible escape route...

......

Gotham University, dining hall.

The joyous celebration remained unchanged despite the fighting and chaos outside the school; inside the campus filled with young people, everything proceeded as usual.

Pamela, standing outside the first canteen, smiled and waved to Lucius the moment she saw him, completely ignoring the embarrassment on the faces of the other men beside her.

"Lucius, are you alright?"

A girl in a long dress jogged up to the police officer, gave him a cursory look, and then naturally took his hand.

"I'm fine...who are they?"

To Lucius's surprise, Pamela seemed to attract the attention of quite a few male classmates while she waited tentatively...

Judging from their appearance, they seem to be students of the same age who want to strike up a conversation.

Lucius's gaze swept over the group of students wearing black dove badges, and his expression became more wary.

"Passerby".

A hint of coldness and disgust flashed across Pamela's face. She had no good feelings toward these guys who had inexplicably approached her, and she had no intention of joining the Black Pigeon Society they mentioned.

"A suitor?"

Upon noticing the undisguised aloofness on Pamela's face, Lucius guessed the purpose of the group of young people.

This was the first time Lucius had seen anyone pursuing the female college student since meeting Pamela...

However, it's not surprising that someone in Pamela would have their eyes on Lucius today.

Holding her delicate little hand, Lucius turned his head to look at Pamela today.

The white dress couldn't hide the girl's stunning figure, and the simple attire only made Pamela's fiery red hair look even more vibrant and charming.

Pamela's slender waist was even more eye-catching under her fitted clothes, and her tall figure and aloof temperament made her a favorite among students of her age at the cafeteria entrance.

"It's normal for someone as pretty as you to attract attention." Lucius thought it would be best if Pamela, who didn't have many friends, could get along well with her classmates.

Of course, the Black Pigeon Society guys are out of the question.

"I don't want to be the center of attention..."

Making no attempt to hide her indifference towards others, Pamela grasped Lucius's hand, her eyes clearly conveying that she only wanted to be alone with her lover.

In fact, if it weren't for waiting for Lucius, Pamela wouldn't want to stay in front of these people for even a second longer!

"Hey, who are you?"

The pretty girl he had his eye on was about to be led away by a man who suddenly appeared on the roadside. The leader of the group of male students spoke up in dissatisfaction.

"Uh... don't blame me for being rude, but for your safety, it's best if you keep your distance from Pamela..."
