Chapter 132 Ultraman Knocks on the Door

Hijacking? Our store?

Shen You's first reaction was that he had misheard.

After confirming the authenticity of the information with Kara, Shen You couldn't help but feel speechless at the two-faced man's bad luck.

No, there are hundreds or thousands of restaurants and cafes in Gotham, what are the odds of you picking ours?

To paraphrase the Flash from the TV series: Dude, if the next Olympics were to create a "World's Number One Unlucky Person Award," you'd definitely be the Usain Bolt of the unluckiest world.

Following Kara upstairs, they indeed found that the coffee shop on the ground floor had been taken over by Two-Face and his subordinates. Two henchmen with blue dragon and white tiger tattoos on their bodies, who looked like they were good fighters but not very smart, stood guard at the door like two gatekeepers, holding submachine guns.

The somber man sat at the table by the window. At first glance, his profile suggested a handsome, brooding man with impeccable features. But the other half of his face was a grotesque sight, enough to make anyone vomit their dinner from the previous night: bulging, terrifying eyes, burned, blood-red flesh, and cracked lips revealing yellowed teeth—the kind of image from an old-fashioned horror movie that would suddenly appear and leave you sleepless all night.

Two-Face, Harvey Dent, is an important character in the early stages of Batman's story. Originally a lawyer pursuing justice, he was disfigured by acid thrown at him in the Sal Maroney case, which caused him to develop two personalities, one good and one evil, making him one of Batman's main adversaries.

The current situation is that Gordon is leading his men in pursuit of Two-Face, chasing him all the way to the nearby streets, where Two-Face has suddenly run into this store. Gordon, fearing for the safety of the hostages, doesn't dare to give chase rashly, and instead surrounds the store from the outside. Two-Face is patiently waiting for Batman to come and engage him in a real fight, and he won't make a move until Batman arrives.

However, it was already dark, and there were no customers left in the store. So, to summarize, the only hostages Two-Face had when he stormed in included an Ultraman, a Kryptonian, a 9,000-year-old Shazam, a super gorilla, and a cat that could carry an airplane.

Looking at this lineup, it's really hard to say who's hijacking whom.

Shen You glanced at the armed thugs deployed in the shop and the double agent by the window, somewhat puzzled: "You didn't take him down?"

He found it strange that Two-Face could still leisurely sit there drinking coffee amidst such a lineup. It's no exaggeration to say that even a cat in this room could easily overpower them all.

"I did think about it, but Grandpa Wizard wouldn't allow it," Kara shrugged.

"Don't worry, I've taken care of it." The old wizard leaned closer and said in a low voice, "I find these two-faced people quite interesting. Their minds are so split, yet each part can maintain a clear consciousness independently."

I've seen people with dissociative identity disorder before, but I've never seen anything as novel as this.

Shen You wasn't surprised. Of course, you've never been to Gotham before. You think this place is just a bunch of tales about outstanding people and beautiful scenery?

The split personality of Two-Face is essentially the opposition between his good and evil personalities. His disfigurement and tragic experiences gave rise to his personality that hates evil, while the other half of his face represents Harvey's remaining good personality.

Often, when he faces a difficult choice and stubbornly decides to flip a coin to determine his actions and right or wrong, it is actually a process of struggle between his good and evil thoughts.

Of course, since the emergence of the dual personality, malice has often prevailed, and Harvey's personality is mostly offline.

"I secretly cast a spell on one of his personalities, strengthening the consciousness of his weaker one." The old wizard stroked his beard. "I'm curious to know what the effects of such a peculiar mind's personality conflict will be."

I have a feeling that this might give me a new perspective on some spiritual spells.

Shen You was somewhat surprised. Ever since the old wizard came to the shop, he had been engrossed in researching pots and stoves all day long. It was rare for him to suddenly remember that he was still a wizard and start doing magical research again.

Since he was in such a good mood, Shen You let him have his way.

Anyway, these robbers didn't seem like they could possibly hurt anyone in this store.

If they don't hurt themselves.

Sure enough, whether the spell worked or not, the two-faced man was now sitting in his seat arguing fiercely.

The left and right halves of their faces are arguing.

"I really think this is wrong." Harvey's normal half of his face was full of guilt. "You've dragged so many innocent people into this."

"Shut up, you sissy!" the two-faced man said viciously, his half-burned face exposed.

"But what if someone gets hurt?" Harvey said.

"Shut up!" the two-faced man continued to yell.

Harvey: "I don't think you're right. Taking hostages is a despicable act. If you really want to win, you should face Batman head-on and defeat him. That's what true victory is."

Two-Face: "So you think you can beat me?"

Harvey: "Of course not. He's Batman, and I'm just a clerk. How could I possibly beat him?"

"Then what the hell are you talking about?"

He became emotional and swung his left fist, punching himself hard in the right cheek.

Harvey yelled, "Hey! Can't we talk this out instead of resorting to violence? This is so uncivilized!"

"I'm not only going to strike, I'm going to deliver another punch!"

As he spoke, the two-faced man punched Harvey's face again, causing blood to trickle from Harvey's mouth.

After a two-second pause, the two-faced man continued, cursing, "Damn it, it hurts me too if I hit you."

Shen You: "."

He was beginning to understand why the old wizard had said the problem was solved.

"Alright, then I wish you success in your experiment." Shen You shrugged. "However, I just realized I have something to take care of here, so I have to go out for a bit. You guys keep an eye on things at the shop."

"Go on, go on," the old wizard waved his hand.

Although there are police officers outside the door, Shen You's armor has a built-in stealth mode, and his speed is already fast enough to outrun any detection methods, so they hardly bother him.

The two-faced man was too busy arguing with himself to notice, but the two henchmen standing guard at the door noticed Shen You's movements and immediately came over.

"Where do you want to go?"

"The toilet," Shen You said, pointing casually to the bathroom.

"Hold on," one of the burly men said coldly. "Mr. Two-Face said you all have to stay here obediently and not go anywhere."

Shen You shrugged: "I wasn't asking for anything."

The two burly men didn't see the movement clearly at all, but almost simultaneously felt a sharp pain on the bridge of their noses, their vision went black, blood streamed from their noses, and they fell backward to the ground.

The henchmen behind him were shocked and hurriedly caught up. They opened the bathroom door and found it completely empty, without a single ghost in sight.

The younger brother rubbed his eyes.

Hell?

So the two burly men guarding the gate could only approach the two-faced man dejectedly, their faces bruised and swollen: "Sorry, boss, we couldn't stop him from leaving."

At this moment, the two-faced man was gripping his left arm with his right hand and choking himself with his left, his face turning bright red from the choking, and he looked like he was fighting himself to the death.

Hearing his underlings' words, he took a moment from his busy schedule to turn around and glare fiercely at them with his hideous half-face.

"A bunch of good-for-nothings!"

Shen You quickly flew away from Gotham and arrived on the moon following the coordinates.

Then he immediately found his destination.

It looks like some kind of space station.

Its enormous, circular shell, painted black with a metallic sheen, reflects the sunlight. Its unusual shape resembles a series of rings of varying sizes and heights, forming a peculiar structure that gradually converges upwards.

Shen You quickly landed at the main entrance. The entrance was a huge circular door, radiating a soft blue glow, as if some kind of energy was flowing through it. The source of this energy could be traced back to the crystals at the terminals of the transmission pipeline system surrounding the structure.

Typical Krypton crystal-driven design.

Shen You knew he had come to the right place.

"At least three infiltration plans have been initially designed. You can take a look, sir," Pal said, displaying the plans below his field of vision.

Shen You crossed it out without even looking at it.

"There's no need for that today, Pal. Let's choose option four today."

As Shen You spoke, he had already walked to the circular main entrance.

"What kind of proposal, sir?"

"Here's the plan: we knock on doors first, then go in and take out everyone who sees us. If not a single one of us is left, it'll be a perfect infiltration. Do you agree?"

"That makes a lot of sense." Pal was convinced.

"Right? I think so too."

So Shen You stood in front of the door and raised his fist.

"Knock, knock, is anyone home?"

boom!

A fist slammed into the door.

Then the door exploded.
