I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

After putting the helmet away, Depp took out the other parts; he was about to start making the next component.

This time, he's making the mechanical gloves for the armor. Although he can't create the Arc Reactor yet, Depp can channel some lightning to power it, so the particle beam attack method can be retained.

In addition, Depp added metal syringes and metal tubes containing fear gas to the mechanical glove's arsenal, and this attack method derived from Scarecrow was also incorporated into Depp's version of the armor.

After doing all this, Depp felt like he was a real integration expert!

His mutant abilities are still in their early stages. Although he can create small lightning bolts, guide strong winds and localized rainfall, these can only be used as a means of surprise attack and are far less powerful than external items such as armor and heavy weapons.

As for fighting ability and physical fitness, although Depp is strong enough, he doesn't have the guts of Catwoman and Batman, who dare to go head-to-head with all kinds of supervillains and even rocket launchers just by wearing a leather jacket or cape.

After all, Depp doesn't think he has any protagonist's halo.

"I'll die if I get shot," was Depp's assessment of himself. So, in addition to his helmet and gloves, he also planned to add two steel plates to his chest and back before the night's operation.

In addition, he specially made a pair of high-tech cat-ear headphones for Catwoman.

The design is inspired by the movie "The Dark Knight" that I watched in my previous life, and it is the same style of the headphones worn by Anne Hathaway in the movie.

In addition to being able to contact itself at any time, it also has the ability to release illusions and resist some mental attacks, and is equipped with night vision goggles and two homemade micro missiles on the top of its ears.

If Selena hadn't refused, Depp would have actually wanted to prepare two steel plates for her.

That night, a tired Wellen had already gone to bed in his room. Depp, who had just received a message from Selena, put on his helmet and gloves and quietly left through the second-floor window.

Selena waited for Depp to meet her about 100 meters outside the antique shop.

She sat on a black motorcycle, wearing her signature leather jumpsuit and high heels with hidden cat claw blades, her almost perfect long legs stretched straight on the ground.

At this moment, she was mysterious, sexy, and deadly.

Looking at the dashing woman before him, Depp exclaimed, "You look beautiful tonight."

As he spoke, he handed the cat-ear headphones he had prepared to Selena.

Selena took the headphones, put them on, raised an eyebrow, and said, "I looked even more beautiful that night, it's just a pity you missed it."

Depp feigned ignorance and asked, "Which night?"

"You know perfectly well what I'm asking!" Selena climbed into the car, pointed to the earpiece on her head, and asked, "What's this?"

She knew that Depp wouldn't just give her a regular pair of headphones.

Depp sat on the back of the motorcycle, his arm around Selena's slender waist, feeling the firm, powerful muscles in her waist, and said, "Let's get going. Director Luo is getting impatient. I'll explain the headphone's functions on the way."

------

Inside Depp's antique shop, Wellen leaned against the window, watching the direction Depp had left in.

He muttered to himself, "The boss must be off on something big. When will I be able to help?"

Upon hearing the sound, Gou Dan'er jumped onto the window and scratched his ear with his hind paw.

Wellen stared at the cat beside him, too afraid to move.

Chapter 32 I, Rob, am not afraid of anything!

On the empty highway, a motorcycle is speeding by.

After listening to Depp's explanation, Selena touched the cat-ear headphones on her head and said with surprise, "I didn't know you were an inventor. This thing is really beautiful."

Upon hearing this, Depp inwardly scoffed, "So many cool features, but all you care about is how good it looks? Is that reasonable?"

"We're almost there, we need to find a place to park the car," Selena said.

“I know a good spot to hide a car,” Depp said. “For a while, I was running around the Gotham Police Department every day, and Rob’s house isn’t far from there.”

They parked the car in a dilapidated, abandoned house, and Depp and Selena hid in the shadows of the corner as they walked toward Rob's house.

Although it was very late, Rob did not go to sleep.

After putting his wife to sleep, the obese police chief was having a long phone conversation with his mistress.

Rob smoothed his thinning hair and said into the phone in a greasy voice, "Baby, have you missed me?"

He sat in the chair, looking at the moon outside the window, stuffed a piece of buttered bread into his mouth, and then touched the large belly that was showing from under the hem of his pajamas.

“I knew you missed me. I can ‘work overtime’ tomorrow. You just wear that outfit and wait for me at home.”

"Oh, of course I'll bring that LV shoulder bag you wanted last time to your house."

"I think you should know your man..."

Before Rob could even utter the words "strength," a long, strong hand covered his mouth, and the half-eaten bread that was outside his mouth was shoved into his throat.

"This could be a big problem." Depp covered Rob's mouth and hung up the phone for him.

Selena then climbed in through the window.

"Hello, Director Luo." Selena's voice was as sexy as ever.

Depp released his hand from Rob's mouth, and the other man coughed violently for a while before spitting the half-eaten bread onto the ground.

Rob, panting, took a sip of water and asked in a panic, "Who are you? I can give you money, as long as you guarantee my safety."

“We are very interested in money…” Depp and Selena exchanged a glance and said in unison, “We are indeed very interested in money.”

It would be a huge joke if a thief and a shrewd businessman claimed they had no interest in money.

“But there are other things I need your help with,” Depp added.

Upon hearing this, Rob became wary and said, "Help? I think you should know who I am. What kind of help do you want from me?"

Selena said, "We need you to stop helping Falcone, stop the collusion between the Gotham Police Department and the mob, and provide evidence of Falcone's crimes."

Upon hearing this, Rob immediately became agitated. These were things that everyone in Gotham knew perfectly well, yet he still tried to cover them up and make excuses:

“I have never helped His Excellency Falcone, much less allowed the police to collude with the gangs! I am an upright police chief, filled with justice. Before you can find any evidence, please do not attempt to slander me without cause!”

Upon hearing this, Depp and Selena laughed so hard they almost fell over.

Selena pulled out a dagger strapped to her thigh and held it to Rob's neck, threatening, "I think... Gotham's most righteous Chief Rob might need some help to get rid of his little habit of lying."

The dagger was extended slightly forward, and a trickle of blood flowed down the tip of the dagger.

But Rob, whose life was threatened, remained unmoved, acting as if he were a truly righteous policeman.

Because of the two petty thieves in front of them, or rather, vigilantes.

At most, they might kill him in a fit of rage, but at least they wouldn't hunt down his child.

Furthermore, if the other party were someone like Batman, they wouldn't actually kill him; it would just be a tactic to intimidate him.

However, if he betrays His Excellency Falcone, he and his family will be found no matter where they hide, and will be killed without mercy.

Therefore, Robb would rather be killed by the woman in front of him than betray Falcone.

Seeing that Rob remained unmoved, Selena continued, "Perhaps you yourself are not afraid of death, but you don't want your wife and children to be killed because of you, do you?"

Upon hearing this, Rob cursed and said, "If you're so capable, then kill me! My three sons have long been studying abroad. As for that old hag, I beg you to kill her first, so I don't have to see her disgusting face every day."

Seeing Rob's agitated state and his flabby body jiggling uncontrollably, Selena sheathed her dagger and shrugged, indicating that she was helpless.

After all, she was just a thief and had no interest in killing.

"Perhaps we'll have to return empty-handed." Selena was somewhat disappointed; she hadn't expected Rob to have such backbone.

“We won’t leave empty-handed; at least we can take his money,” Depp said calmly. “And I think even the tough-as-nails Chief Luo must have something he’s afraid of.”

Rob, who was listening to Depp and Selena's conversation, was now certain that the two of them would not kill him, so he gradually became bolder.

He said dismissively, "You'll be disappointed, though. I, Rob, fear nothing!"

"I hope you are really as you say."

Suddenly, a small compartment opened in Depp's right-hand robotic arm, and a tiny syringe filled with fear gas popped out.

Depp took the syringe and plunged the needle into Rob's neck.

Injecting fear gas directly into the body is more effective and faster, according to Jonathan's experimental data.

Rob tried to struggle, but Depp pressed him firmly to the spot.

"What are you trying to do? You bastard, are you really going to kill a police chief?"

Rob, who was still stubbornly refusing to admit it, seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying three seconds later.

He first slumped into the chair, then struggled to crawl backward.

At this moment, the veins on Rob's forehead were bulging, his eyes were bulging, and he was covered in cold sweat. Curled up in the corner, he covered his face with his hands and kept muttering to himself.

Depp then promptly took out his phone and turned on the recording function.

"No...don't kill me!"

"Your Excellency Falcone, I did not betray you! Please do not harm me or my family, I have not told them anything!"

"Please, Your Excellency Falcone, I have always been loyal to you and have never had a disloyal heart."

Seeing this, Selena looked at Depp with some fear and asked, "What did you inject this fat pig with?"

“A gas that can instill fear in people,” Depp explained. “I’ll tell you where it comes from on the way home.”

Selena felt a little relieved after hearing Depp's explanation; she had initially been frightened by the effects of the poison gas.

She touched the cat-ear headphones on her head and immediately felt completely at ease.

"Depp would never use that horrific gas on me," she thought firmly.

Depp then squatted down in front of Rob, put his phone to Rob's mouth, and began asking him questions.

Chapter 33 Next time for sure!

"When exactly did you start working for Falcone?" Depp asked in a deep voice.

Rob was consumed by fear and, in his delirium, thought Falcone was questioning him, and said:

"Of course, it started twenty-three years ago. You know, back then I was just a junior detective, and it was with your help that I became the chief."

Depp continued, "Very well, how much money have you received from Falcone over the years?"

With a terrified expression, Rob frantically fidgeted with his fingers, finally breaking down and saying, "There's a lot, a lot of money, but I... I can't remember! Your Excellency Falcone, I really can't remember... Please don't kill me."

Rob is on the verge of collapse.
