I'm doing bidirectional science popularization in American comics

After dealing with the Joker, Bruce called Gordon: "James, I caught the Joker, he's at my house."

"What?!" Gordon exclaimed in disbelief, "Do we need more reinforcements?"

"No need. You just need to be prepared to receive him. It's best to contact Arkham Asylum in advance and reserve a bed for him."

“I will take him to the Gotham Police Department in half an hour.”

“No problem!” Gordon said, and then his commanding voice came through the phone: “Brock, contact Arkham Asylum for me, the Joker has been captured!”

Half an hour later, at the entrance of the Gotham Police Department.

Bruce and Depp handed the Joker, who was already tied up, over to Gordon.

"How did you catch him?" Gordon asked.

He felt the clown looked familiar, as if he had seen him near the police station a long time ago.

The clown answered first, grinning, "I wasn't caught, I surrendered voluntarily! My conscience has awakened, and I'm repenting for the crimes I committed!"

Gordon simply taped the Joker's mouth shut; he's never been one to have a good temper with these criminals.

Shortly afterward, a black police car took the Joker to Arkham Asylum.

Throughout the journey, Depp and Bruce secretly escorted him.

Chicago, the Viti family's old stronghold.

An elderly man with gray hair, yet exuding an air of authority, listened to the voice on the other end of the phone.

"Father, I have made a plan."

"The little cripple of the Cobert family does indeed have a boss supporting him."

"It's a big company that has only recently emerged in Gotham, the Depp Group, and the owner is Leonard Depp."

"So I think we can start by targeting the guy behind Corbert and get the Depp Group to stop supporting Corbert."

"I will send you the detailed battle plan later, Father."

The old man, the true head of the Viti family, nodded and said, "You've done a great job, Carla. On the day we take Gotham, I will announce to the family that you will be the next head of the Viti family."

Upon hearing this, Carla immediately expressed her gratitude, saying, "Thank you, Father. I will show everyone in the family my abilities and strength."

Carla knew that her father had two other sons besides her.

One older brother and one younger brother.

She's determined to win the battle in Gotham if she wants to stand out between two men!

Chapter 110 A Gift from Chicago

After the Joker was arrested, Depp immediately went to several inexpensive cemeteries in Gotham.

After several twists and turns, Depp finally found his target...

The grave of Joseph's wife, Jane Collins.

That evening, Depp, carrying a shovel and a duffel bag, returned to Jenny's grave.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Depp began to shovel the soil away, one shovelful at a time.

Ten minutes later, Depp put Jenny's last bone into a bag, then filled the grave back in and re-erected the tombstone.

Hey! What are you doing over there?

The gravedigger shone his flashlight at Depp and yelled.

He couldn't understand why anyone would come here at night to steal things, since this was a cheap cemetery.

There wasn't even a cheap bouquet of flowers in front of these tombstones!

Depp, carrying the duffel bag containing Jenny's bones, turned back and gave the gravedigger a slight smile as an apology.

Then, using the transfer of water molecules, it was directly transported away.

The bones of the dead are no longer considered life, so Depp could easily teleport them along with him.

The gravedigger watched helplessly as the man in the distance turned into a puddle of water and disappeared before his very eyes.

He immediately recalled a terrifying legend from not long ago...

"Water...water ghost?!"

"Damn it, there really is something unclean in this cemetery!"

The gravedigger cursed and ran quickly towards his safe house.

He tore down the posters of porn stars from the wall, rolled them up, and stuffed them into his backpack.

He quickly packed his things, resigned that very night, and left.

Meanwhile, after Depp returned to the antique shop, he filled the bathtub with water and poured in nearly half of it with soil infused with the scent of Dionysus.

Depp wants to try to create the Pool of Salalu himself in order to resurrect Janic Collins.

Ultimately, Jenny's death was the final factor that drove Joseph to madness.

So perhaps resurrecting Joseph's former lover would allow him to return to normal.

The water in the bathtub, mixed with mud, did not become murky, but instead appeared as a clear, pale green color.

Depp took out Jenny's bone, and Grandi, who was standing next to him, immediately asked with surprise, "Are we having pork bone stew with sauerkraut today?"

Depp: (*?ロ?)!!

Depp turned around, gave Grandy the look of an air conditioner repairman, and said helplessly, "This isn't food, so you're not allowed to secretly take out the bones and eat them!"

Depp began to wonder if he should cook less Chinese food for Grandi...

After piecing Jenny's bones together and placing them in the bathtub, the pale green water immediately reacted with the surface of the bones.

"There's hope!"

Depp clenched his fist and swung it. It seems that the Dionysus factor really does have the effect of bringing the dead back to life and healing the wounded!

However, it seems that it will take some time before Jenny can be revived.

Although it's slow, at least it's effective!

Selena wrapped her arms around Depp's waist from behind and asked, "What's this?"

“Jennie Coleman’s remains,” Depp said.

Selena said, "The clown's wife?"

Depp nodded: "Yes, I'm trying to bring her back to life."

"Bring these bones back to life?!"

Selena: ? ? ?

He could understand various armors and technological equipment, and he had seen magic before.

But how is it possible to bring a bunch of bones back to life?

She looked at the skeleton in the bathtub, and with her superhuman eyesight, she could actually see through the pale green liquid that a wisp of fiber was floating on the mountain of bones with the ripples of water.

"She's actually regenerating!"

Selena gave Depp's waist muscles a hard pinch, her face full of disbelief.

Depp closed the bathroom door and said, "Let's see tomorrow. Maybe she'll crawl out of the bathroom herself."

Depp thought to himself, "No matter what, as long as I don't turn into a zombie, it's fine."

"Things won't be peaceful for a while, so you and Dick would better not go out."

Selena raised an eyebrow at his words: "I'm not some delicate little girl."

Dick stepped out from behind and said, "I'm not some weak little kid!"

Looking at the smug Dick, Depp felt he should make the kid a suit of armor as soon as possible.

The next day, Depp arrived early at Lucius's research base and began working on the construction of Dick's suit.

The craftsmanship of the suit was quite advanced, and after adding a few of his own small props, Depp finished making Dick's suit that evening.

It uses the same kinetic protection system as Bruce's suit, which is enough to protect this kid.

Two days later, Oswald had already prepared his mayoral campaign posters and leaflets and began to officially campaign among the people of Gotham.

Although his gangster affiliation makes him unacceptable to many people.

However, after Oswald became the head of the Gotham City mob, Gotham's crime rate began to decline sharply, so many people chose to support this king of Gotham's underworld.

Not to mention, he is a descendant of the Cobbard family, the founders of Gotham City, a connection that has earned him considerable goodwill.

Therefore, among the dozen or so candidates running at the same time, Oswald's approval rating rose directly to first place.

Furthermore, they were significantly ahead of the second-place team.

This made him very happy, but at the same time he did not forget the threat posed by the Viti family.

His dedicated mobile phone, used to communicate with his subordinates, was always on and connected to his Bluetooth headset.

At the first sign of trouble, he would immediately issue orders to his subordinates who were doing volunteer work.

And today, almost all of his men are doing volunteer work in the residential areas near his family's nightclubs and other properties.

So that support can be provided immediately if these places are attacked.

Meanwhile, on the country roads surrounding Gotham, trucks loaded with Vitty family members and weapons were speeding towards the city.

The truck bears the logo of a supplier to the Depp Toys factory.

Trucks drove into various factories of the Depp Group. The security guards at several factories did not realize that the goods inside were not theirs, but a group of vicious Chicago gangsters armed with deadly weapons.

Seated in her limousine, Carla picked up the walkie-talkie beside her and said with a ruthless look in her eyes, "It's time to give our friends in Gotham a gift from Chicago. All teams, attention, begin the operation!"

Carla herself did not participate in the attack on the Depp Group; she and her most trusted bodyguards had more important objectives.

Upon hearing Carla's order, Viti family gangsters, armed with various firearms and dressed in suits, jumped out of the Viti family's trucks located in the various factories of the Depp Group one after another.

Their only goal is to wreak havoc and kill to their heart's content!

They need to teach that guy named Leonard Depp a lesson so he'll never dare to fund Oswald again.
