I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

Gradually, a map of the entire city took shape in his mind.

Suddenly, Bain heard a faint sound of cursing and crying.

He immediately changed direction and ran towards the direction of the sound.

In a dark alley, four or five young men wielding steel rods were relentlessly attacking a drunken young policeman.

Beside them, a girl whose clothes had been mostly torn off sat on the ground, crying incessantly.

The young policeman was struggling to defend himself, occasionally letting out cries of pain as he was struck by the steel rod.

Meanwhile, the young men who looked like gangsters were waving iron bars while laughing and cursing.

"You dare ruin our plans? If you're fucking asking for trouble, just say so!"

"Damn it, you think you can ruin our plans with just a drunk cop? We'll beat you up today, and then your boss will fire you tomorrow."

"Yeah, once you're fired, you won't be a cop anymore. They can kill you and nobody will care!"

Bain sneered inwardly at the sight. If these guys weren't just talking big... he never imagined this country had fallen to such a low level.

Gangs were able to interfere in official matters and even make a police officer disappear without anyone noticing.

"Indeed, the illness here is very serious...we need to fight poison with poison!"

As he spoke, Bain leaped up and landed beside the group.

Before the youths could speak, Bane knocked them all down with a single punch each.

Several men, knocked to the ground, continued to hurl insults: "And who are you, you freak? Mind your own business! You want to die? Damn it, do you know my dad is..."

Bang!

Bane punched the talkative guy directly in the head, instantly blowing his head off.

This scene left the others completely bewildered.

The once noisy alleyway fell silent in an instant.

The girl who had been crying was so frightened that she fainted.

"Damn it, I lost control again!"

Bain cursed, then looked at the other three youths and immediately decided to go all in and prepare to punch them all in the head again.

Bang!

Bang!

Just as he was about to throw the final punch, the drunken cop grabbed his arm: "You're suspected of intentional homicide, you're under arrest!"

Bain sneered, "They just said they were going to kill you."

“That’s their problem, but I’m a police officer, so I can’t just stand by and watch you kill them,” the young officer said. “Even if you’re a Batman fan, it’s still not allowed!”

"You're really funny."

Bain chuckled, shoved his arm away, and finished off the last guy with a punch.

Seeing that Bain ignored his advice and still killed the last person, the policeman immediately drew his gun and pointed it at Bain.

"Don't move, and come with me to the police station, or I really will shoot!"

Upon seeing this, Bain snatched the man's pistol and crushed it into a ball.

"You might not see me again, you naive boy."

After saying that, Bain leaped up and jumped onto the wall.

Looking in the direction Bain had left, the young policeman was both angry and confused.

However, Bain remembered the guy's face because he felt that this young policeman might become his partner in the city in the future.

Together with myself, we will fight against all evil in this city.

The same night, somewhere in Gotham City.

Bruce, dressed in his Batsuit, crouched atop the clock tower, his cape fluttering in the wind.

He had finished his goals for the day, glanced at his watch—4:31 a.m.

"Sigh." Bruce sighed and disappeared into the night sky: "The first day after Bane left, I miss him."

A month later, Depp sat in a rocking chair, looking at the message from Bane.

The Depp Group's first toy production line in the Republic of São Pulisca has been completed and put into operation.

The production line will be expanded gradually until it is fully loaded.

At the same time, the people of the Republic of Saint Priscilla also enthusiastically signed up, wanting to become a proud assembly line worker for the Depp Group.

After all, Depp's salary was three to five times higher than their previous income.

In addition, Starlight Media also managed Depp's company very well, making it almost the top of the three major media outlets in the world.

Depp visits the Black Robe Bureau's queue-breaking world almost every week, partly to observe if any new speedsters emerge there, and partly to give Starlight a massage and then accompany her to relax.

What puzzled Depp was that Queen Maeve's affection for him had increased rapidly during this period, and she always looked at him with eyes that seemed to want to devour him.

This meant that whenever Depp went to the world of The Boys, he had to avoid this woman to prevent her from getting involved with him.

As for Gotham, the restructuring of the Depp Group can be described as very successful.

The management policy is worker-centric, coupled with weekly red-themed lessons.

The mindset of all employees at the Depp Group is rapidly changing.

Everything is gradually moving closer to that bright future.

And Depp finally remembered that he still had a company with Marvel.

Stark Tower, Tony's workspace.

"You remember that company around here?" Tony said dismissively. "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have thought it was my company!"

"Forehead..."

Depp said somewhat awkwardly, "I've just been too busy lately and haven't had time to think about it!"

"Heh!" Tony sneered. "You mean I'm idle? Stark Industries has far more to deal with than you imagine!"

Seeing this, Depp smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Oh right, after all, Stark Industries is the largest and most powerful company in the country. As the head of Stark Industries, of course you're very busy."

Tony's expression softened slightly upon hearing this:

"That's more like it. To be honest, your company is actually doing a very good job. Both the Batman universe and the Iron Man/Spider-Man universe can be considered super popular IPs."

"You know what a hot IP is, right? It's the kind of thing that makes money no matter what you do with it, even a Batman-branded sanitary napkin can make a fortune."

Depp was relieved to hear this; as long as the company hadn't gone bankrupt!

After all, the reason I set up companies in various worlds was not just to make money, but to acquire all sorts of abilities while sitting at home in the future.

If two connected heroes have both seen each other's comics, then they are very likely to be able to sit back and wait for the reward.

A complete win without lifting a finger!

Who wouldn't be looking forward to this?

However, Depp also knew that this would be difficult to achieve results in a short period of time, and would require several years or even more than a decade of accumulation.

And Depp's goal is not just to sell comics on Earth.

Imagine Thanos engrossed in reading "Darkseid Wars".

Meanwhile, Darkseid was watching Avengers: Infinity War and questioning why the villain looked so much like him.

Imagine Depp lying at home and suddenly gaining Thanos's Eternal powers and Darkseid's Anti-Life Equation or Omega Rays—how awesome would that be!

"Hey! Why aren't you saying anything? What are you thinking about?"

Tony looked at Depp, who was staring blankly and grinning, and asked.

Depp wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and said, "I'll go back to the company first. I don't have much time left here. After I've seen the company and Quentin Baker, I should head back."

After saying that, Depp left Stark Tower and headed to his own Depp Company.

In the Marvel universe, Depp's company is located next to a newspaper office. After briefly checking on the company's operations and exchanging a few words with Quentin, Depp returned to the DC universe through a portal.

Upon returning to DC, Depp immediately sensed something was amiss.

It's as if...something dirty came back with me!

Chapter 267 Siren Symbiote

Depp stood in the bedroom, carefully taking in his surroundings.

Selena was sleeping with the blanket tucked between her legs, her breathing soft and rhythmic. Her long, shapely legs were sticking out of the blanket, but they did not distract Depp in the slightest.

Besides that, there was also the sound of Gou Dan'er licking his butt inside the room.

But apart from these, there were no other sounds in the room.

The scenery around me was exactly the same as when I arrived.

There was absolutely no way anything could slip out after he returned; Depp was quite confident in his keen senses.

So it seems there's only one possibility left: that dirty XZ is on himself!

Depp carefully examined his body and found nothing unusual on the outside.

He closed his eyes and meditated, entering a state of astral projection, which is also known as out-of-body experience.

The problem was immediately identified.

Depp, his soul and body now one, snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, a mere trick!"

As he spoke, he took out two steel pipes from the Omnipotent System space.

He then left the villa and went to the garden outside.

Raise the two steel pipes high and then strike them together forcefully.
