Miss Justice is not motivated

But this life of resentment and bitterness came to an end one afternoon. Ayami disappeared from 19th-century Yamato and reappeared in 21st-century Gotham City.

It has been said that the gap between the 1970s and the 21st century doesn't seem like only thirty years. And for this once-great nation, rising from a backward 19th-century country to become a superpower in the 21st century, the biggest ambition isn't technological advancement, but rather…

The filth of Gotham City has reached a point where it cannot be concealed.

"I'm not trying to criticize you, but do you really think selling drugs, collecting protection money, and robbing ordinary people is something to be proud of?" A gray-haired girl in a black windbreaker, with a seemingly indifferent expression, appeared from the alleyway exit. Her purple eyes scrutinized the gang member before her with amusement.

As she slowly walked into the alley, Bai Aina's movements appeared refined and gentle, like a middle school girl passing by.

"Who are you!" The gang member shouted, pointing the reloaded gun at Bai Aina. He was prepared to fire if she took another step forward. The distance between them was less than five meters; in such a situation, there was no chance of a misfire.

"Uh? Me? Although I'm still nobody now, I'll become quite famous in this city soon." She pulled down the hood of her windbreaker, revealing a youthful face, a gentle tone, and refined manners. Anyone who saw her would instinctively assume that Bai Aina was a lady from a prominent family.

"I'll fucking listen to you..." The gang member didn't finish his sentence as Bai Aina's figure vanished from his sight. The next moment, a conspicuous hole appeared in his chest, from which blood gushed uncontrollably.

A heart was being held in her fair, small hand. After crushing it, Bai Aina looked at Aya on the ground and gave her a kind smile.

Chapter Fourteen: The Prerequisite for Peaceful Coexistence is Obedience to Me

"Ichijo... You must uphold justice..." His father's dying words echoed in my dream, more like a curse than a word of advice. The syllables engraved with righteousness traced across my collarbone, my neck, and my cheek like a rough tongue, the damp warmth feeling real.

A damp...warmth? Suddenly waking from a dream, the shivering sensation of someone licking her collarbone with the tip of their tongue made her scream.

"Ah! You're a monster!" He immediately retaliated with a chop, but the attack, launched in the confined space, was easily anticipated by his opponent. Yitiao's chop was firmly gripped by his opponent, and the terrifying strength made the bones in his hand ache.

"What are you howling about? Does it hurt a lot?" Bai Aina spat lightly, climbed off the bed, and spat out the yellowish, sticky liquid in her mouth.

"Y-you-you-you-you-you!" Terrified, she could barely speak. She gripped the bedsheet tightly, but then realized that her clothes had been completely removed. Her body was covered in bandages, and her wounds appeared to have been treated.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that the person who had been lying on top of him was a gray-haired girl with waist-length hair that had a strong metallic sheen, making her look like flowing metal. Contrary to his expectations, she wasn't completely naked; instead, she was wearing a white tank top that revealed her fair and smooth shoulders.

Did she...save me? I'm not stupid after all. I gently touched my collarbone again, which had just been licked, but felt a sharp pain.

"Don't move, silly." Bai Aina said in a heavy local accent, then took out disinfectant and cotton swabs to clean the wounds on Yi's neck, face, and collarbone.

Although she couldn't quite understand the strong local accent, the free language template on the character card allowed her to grasp the general meaning of Bai Aina's words. She sat down, closed her eyes, and quietly endured the other person cleaning her wounds.

Fortunately, the pus from the infected wound had already been cleaned away. After washing the wound with disinfectant, Bai Aina carefully applied ointment, instructing her not to let the wound get wet. If she wanted to wash herself, she should use a damp towel to carefully clean it.

Despite the considerable pain when the disinfectant touched her wound, Ichijo gritted her teeth and endured it. While the wound was being treated, Baina and Ichijo were very close together, and I could clearly feel her heartbeat and the warmth of her breath on my skin.

"Don't you have any common sense? You actually went to a place teeming with bacteria with such a wound? Do you want to die?" After cleaning and treating the wound, Bai Aina put the medical supplies aside and sat down at the computer desk.

It was only then that Ichijo realized how dimly lit the room was, with only the strange machine emitting light. As someone from the Edo period, she felt quite uncomfortable with this dim environment.

"Well... I didn't want to either, but I was being chased like that, and there was nothing I could do." Lowering her head somewhat embarrassedly, Yi Tiao didn't particularly like the other person's tone, but seeing that Bai Aina seemed to care about her, she didn't say anything more.

"Well, it doesn't really matter, it's not a big deal anyway." If it weren't for the fact that Ichijo was a beautiful young girl, Bai Aina wouldn't have gone to such lengths to clean the wound; she would have just found a clinic and been done with it.

During her period of unconsciousness, Bai Aina wasn't idle. She spent some time that evening finding an abandoned gas station in the suburbs of Gotham City. Although a few clueless people did try to cause trouble, she resolved the situation in just ten minutes, incidentally obtaining some information that wasn't particularly useful.

They are the Penguin People's people, and this is their base of operations. Thanks to this, Baina can now access the internet for research and enjoy hot water and heating.

The only downside was that cleaning the flesh and blood stuck to the wall was absolutely disgusting. The feeling of scrubbing the wall with a brush and watching the flesh and blood slowly fall off was utterly horrifying, and Bai Aina made up her mind that from now on, she would let Ichijo do this kind of thing.

Bai Aina, sitting on the leather transfer chair, suddenly turned around to face Ayami, her purple eyes seemingly radiating an ominous and fierce light.

"Then let's change the subject. You're not from this world either, are you?" Bai Aina looked at the other person's Asian appearance and his blue hair, which didn't look like it was dyed at all. He must be a natural native of some world.

She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. Before coming to this world, something called the [Source Terminal] had indeed abducted her, demanding that she complete a mission and even providing her with beginner equipment.

Besides the normal physical data, there was another message: "[Tip: Newcomer Bonus *1 (To be claimed)]". Before I could even check what the item was, another message caught my attention.

[Mission World: Batman]

[Mission Objective: Within thirty days, temporarily end the Dark Knight's heroic career, preventing him from becoming the Guardian of Gotham City again for a certain period.]

Number of participants: ?

[Mission Reward: 1 Three-Star Item Card, 3000 Universal Points]

[Punishment for Failure: Annihilation]

Seeing a creature seemingly examining something and fiddling with its gray hair, Bai Aina smiled and said, "I know more than you do. Just ask me anything you want to know."

"Um, I want to know who Batman is! What will happen if we don't defeat him?" Yi Tiao didn't quite understand what the mission rewards and failure penalties meant, but since it was a reward, it should be a consumable item like money.

“Good question. Of course, they will be wiped out. As for how they will be wiped out? Just think of it as disappearing.” With an attitude of being teachable, Bai Aina looked at the word “we” in the sentence and a smile immediately appeared on her lips.

Ayami Ichijo didn't reject Bai Aina, and subconsciously considered her someone he could trust. The reason, of course, wasn't because Bai Aina possessed natural beauty, stunning looks, or the kind of aura or appearance that commanded respect.

At most, APP16's Bai Aina couldn't do that. She simply plucked a hair from her own body and transformed it into a flesh bud that could connect with the human nervous system. This flesh bud was actually part of the Pillar Man's body, capable of interfering with a person's judgment and personality, and subconsciously making them trust the life form from which the flesh bud originated.

While Ayame was unconscious, he implanted a granulation tissue into her brain, causing her to unconsciously repeat his main quest and related information, resulting in the current scene. Bai Aina, also out of boredom, cut off her own hand and grafted it onto other creatures to see if the graft could be done without side effects, only to discover this effect.

This is quite convenient. For Bai Aina, the current situation is that she needs chess pieces. It would be even better if they had intelligence, and the Ayami Ichijo in front of her... although her physical abilities are a bit lacking, she is a very interesting chess piece.

"Speaking of which, what's your name?" Bai Aina looked at the blue-haired girl in front of her with great interest. From the girl's retelling, she knew about Yi Tiao's past and roughly knew what kind of person she was. However, she was still very interested in this formality. "My name is Bai Aina, there's no abbreviation, just call me by my full name."

"Teacher Bai Aina, my humble name is Ayami Ichijo." Although she wasn't quite sure what "erasure" meant, she was very clear about the concept of disappearing from the world. Ichijo subconsciously relied on the girl in front of her, without feeling anything was wrong with it.

"So... what kind of person is Batman?" Although she didn't know she had been implanted with a flesh bud, Ichijo still asked earnestly. If the other party wasn't some heinous villain, she would probably have to spend a considerable amount of time deciding whether she should do this.

“Do you want to know? He really is a very interesting person.” Bai Aina chuckled, shifting into a more comfortable position, and spoke in an incredibly languid tone. “Well then, tell me the story of such a man.”

Chapter Fifteen is pretty good, isn't it?

Four days have passed since the attack on Arkham Asylum. The injured and escaped patients have been questioned and then returned to their rooms to await further examination or treatment.

Aside from the patients injured by the armed forces during the suppression of the riots, there were also super criminals who died. Although they were all social scum, the proper aftermath had to be taken care of. The city government allocated a budget to specifically handle their bodies and arranged proper burial plots for them.

"I'm going out for a bit. You can wait here for me for a while." Still wearing that black windbreaker, Bai Aina looked out the window at the gradually descending night and instructed the blue-haired girl beside her.

"Hey, hey, hey? Teacher, are you going out now? The sun hasn't set yet, has it?" Yi Tiao was a little surprised after hearing Bai Aina's words. In the past two days, the two of them had not stayed in this gas station all the time.

Every night, the two would disguise themselves and head to the edge of the city. After doing their business, they would leave behind a message saying 'Jason Todd the killer.' Although this behavior seemed very strange to Ichijo, Beaina would offer a careful explanation: it was not some pointless act, but rather a necessary ploy to elicit a certain action from someone.

Although her methods were extremely audacious and reckless, Beaune was by no means a reckless person. She knew very well that overthrowing the authority of the Dark Knights within a month would not be an easy task.

Perhaps for fun, or perhaps out of a desire to teach, Bai Ai Na gave Ayami a special explanation: to defeat evil that cannot be easily crushed, necessary accumulation is indispensable; it is impossible to achieve this goal by relying on just two people. Uniting a group to strike at a small group is a very simple and easy-to-understand principle.

Bai Aina made no attempt to hide her physical weakness, openly revealing a secret about her body. This casual explanation and honesty strengthened Yi Tiao's impression of her, quickly dissolving the initial awkwardness between them.

"Well, the sun's about to set anyway, so a little sunscreen will do." Bai Aina tucked her long hair into her jacket. She had deliberately encouraged her hair to grow to facilitate the implantation of granulation tissue, although it was actually a bit inconvenient in this situation. She glanced at Yi Tiao and asked, "You want to come along?"

"Hmm!" She immediately jumped out of bed, put on a blue windbreaker, and quickly changed into her boots.

"Then let's get ready to go!" With a hearty laugh, Bai Aina pulled up the hood of her windbreaker and put on a mask.

In the twilight, the two walked in the shadows to the edge of the city. A small figure, unsure of where they were going, followed closely behind Bai Aina, its outstretched hand clutching the corner of her windbreaker, as if afraid of losing her.

Unexpectedly, this time she didn't go to the alley or the pier. Not familiar with the area, Bai Na asked several pedestrians before she found out about the bus to Gotham City Cemetery and also found a deserted flower shop.

"Hello, I'd like to pay my respects to a friend. Could you recommend some flowers?" Bai Aina gently knocked on the open wooden door and looked into the empty shop.

Soon, a middle-aged woman with gray hair emerged from inside. She looked at Bai Aina, who was so young yet so sensible, and felt a sense of goodwill towards her.

One of them was quite surprised. She didn't know that Baina had any friends here, and she found her behavior very strange.

Although she really wanted to know what was going on, Ichijo suppressed her urge to ask and decided to wait until the purchase was finished.

"How about gardenias? They're relatively inexpensive and a good choice for offerings to friends or relatives," the proprietress enthusiastically recommended, holding up a bunch of gardenias.

"This is it, please wrap it up for me." After the proprietress finished wrapping the gardenias, Bai Aina placed the money on the counter and left the flower shop with the bouquet.

Noticing a lingering question, Bai Aina explained before she could ask, "It's nothing, I'm just going to deliver a bouquet of flowers to someone I killed. If I hadn't gone, no one would have delivered them anyway."

This answer left one slightly confused, but Baina simply smiled and indicated that she would give a more detailed answer after the ceremony.

Once on the bus, Yitiao was clearly very uncomfortable with this mode of transportation. During a turn, she nearly fell to the ground until Baina reached out and took her hand.

Although my initial impression of the city was terrible, after several days of observation, that feeling softened somewhat. I noticed that in this area, which was relatively close to the edge of the city but not like a slum, the security was actually better.

After a swaying ride on the bus, Bai Aina and Yi Tiao arrived at the cemetery and got off. Night had already fallen.

Upon entering the cemetery, the rows of tombstones exuded an unsettling aura of death. Having never been to such a place before, Yitaka nervously surveyed his surroundings, fearing that a hand might suddenly reach out from one of the graves and grab his ankle.

"Don't be afraid, this instance isn't the Darkest Night." With a tap on Yi Tiao's forehead, Bai Ai Na looked around at the tombstones and, relying on the traces of soil being renovated, easily found the target she was looking for.

Wellen Jones, the Crocodile Man, is a supervillain with atavistic tendencies. Like most villains in Gotham City, he turned to crime due to life's misfortunes, but from which he could not turn back.

Even now, not a single friend of his would leave a bouquet at his grave. Only his enemies have left flowers there.

A bouquet of flowers was placed in front of his tombstone, which bore a photograph of him as a criminal.

One recognized the man as one of the criminals killed by Baina, but before she could ask a question, she was led away from the cemetery.

Walking down the deserted street, Bai Aina glanced back at a road and, seeing the confusion in her eyes, tilted her head back and hummed softly, "No need to be surprised. If he dies and there isn't even a bouquet of flowers on his grave, wouldn't that be too pitiful?"

"But wasn't it the teacher who killed him?"

"Well, no one has ever stipulated that a murderer can't send flowers to the victim, right?" Bai Aina couldn't help but make a face and explained with a smile. "I did kill him, but that doesn't stop me from feeling sorry for him. He didn't go down the path of evil because of his own will. Although I can't make any real compensation to him, I can still do this little thing."

"Is that so..." Although he could understand what Bai Aina meant, Ichijo still couldn't grasp the idea and could only nod.

“There’s no need to make relationships so tense. Living like that is exhausting. Life should be easy and happy,” said Bai Aina, seemingly quite relaxed, looking at the abandoned carnival in the distance. “Spending more time in places like this is important for establishing correct values ​​in life, isn’t it?”

"If you can only see the darkness of the world but cannot face the light that is one with it, it is also a very tiring thing."

Chapter Sixteen I Hate You

Although it looked abandoned for a long time, the amusement park still showed its former grandeur in terms of its size. While standing there, Bai Aina wasn't concerned with the amusement park itself, but rather with her Dimensional Book popping up on its own.

[Trading module in testing... Unable to start... Will restart after the initial trial ends]

[Searching for dimensional merchants... Search function failed... Pending restart... Please go to the vicinity to search yourself]

"It keeps failing and restarting all the time. What's the point of having this lousy book?" Bai Aina, who had stopped, couldn't help but roll her eyes. She turned to Yi Tiao and instructed him, "You stay here and don't move around. I'm going to the amusement park and I'll be right back."

"Hey, hey, hey?" Before Yitiao could even ask a question, Bai Aina flicked her non-existent sleeve and resolutely walked into the amusement park.

Although she was extremely annoyed by the unreliable book, Bai Aina still dutifully explored the surrounding area. She had a vague feeling that the so-called 'dimensional merchant' should be nearby.

Although no weeds grew on the cobblestone road, it was covered with a lot of dust. Not far away, an old poster fluttered in the wind on a wooden bulletin board—the Bonous Brothers Circus was performing here.

This scene... seems strangely familiar. It's not referring to the story in "The Fatal Joke," but Bai Aina vaguely feels that she has seen a similar scene in a certain novel, where the protagonist even encounters a naked blue-faced person.

"Just as you guessed, the reason I'm here isn't because I've read that novel." It was a gentle male voice, but the words were devoid of any emotion, as cold as a machine.

Before Bai Aina appeared a blue-skinned man whose entire body radiated fluorescence. Apart from being naked, bald, and naturally glowing, this man looked like any ordinary middle-aged man you could find anywhere.

Without making any attempt to conceal her hostility and displeasure, nor was there any need to, Bai Aina couldn't help but let out a soft "tsk".
