An hour later, he arrived at the tailor shop where he had ordered the clothes.
Half a month has passed; it's time to pick up the clothes.
Under the warm welcome of store manager Edward, he took away the clothes he had ordered.
Wearing the green jacket made me feel so much better, like my teenage angst had finally been resolved, and I was able to cosplay the way I wanted to be.
"Where should we go next? The seaside town or the city center?"
He teleported his phone, which he hadn't used for almost half a month, from his 'living dead tomb' and used an electric current to charge it.
As soon as I turned on the phone, a call came in.
Caller ID: Bestman.
Chapter 63 Lady Shiva and the Assassin's Guild
"Hello? Batman?"
The same familiar, phlegm-choking voice came from the other end of the line.
Where are you?
Tian Xiaoban, who was strolling along the roadside, looked at the nearest road sign.
"In the central commercial street of Troy, what's up? Want me to bring you some alien souvenirs?"
"Hmm, that probably won't work. Forget about it. The metropolis is completely surrounded right now; not even a fly could get through."
As Tian Xiaoban spoke, he looked up at the fighter jets still patrolling the sky. The US military was still searching for the missing Kryptonians.
The city of Metropolis was also sealed off, and luggage needed to be checked before leaving the city. They would absolutely not allow anyone to smuggle Kryptonians out of the city.
The voice on the other end of the phone seemed to choke for a moment before continuing.
[I didn't call because of aliens. I...I'm sorry, Jason is dead.]
Batman dropped a bombshell.
Tian Xiaoban's mind went blank for a moment; the amount of information was overwhelming. He quickly started thinking, like a brainstorming session:
'Why?!
How could Jason's supposedly altered future of death still happen?
Besides, the timing of Jason's death is wrong! The Joker only went in recently, so how could he have escaped again? And with Jason's current fighting ability, who could kill him?!
The more I think about it, the more panicked I become.
"Holy crap, no way! Has Gotham's Joker mutated again? He can even be killed by electric current? Is this universe really that dangerous?"
Tian Xiaoban asked in a shocked tone:
"A crab as a gift?! Bruce, do you know what you're saying?! With Jason's strength, how could he possibly die?! No one in Gotham can beat him! Not even with firearms!"
The Batman on the other side fell silent again, probably organizing his thoughts.
Eight days ago, during a mission, we were suddenly attacked by Ms. Shiva, and I was knocked unconscious... Before I lost consciousness, I saw her fighting Jason.
When I woke up, two days had passed. Afu told me that Jason was dead. I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of him.
Guess the wrong protagonist, the killer wasn't the Joker after all!
Holy crap, where did Ms. Shiva come from? And she's so powerful, she even managed to kill Jason, who's powered by electricity!
"Fuck, you should have said that to Jason! Why didn't you tell me then? You could have had Alfred inform me!"
Tian Xiaoban calmed himself down, because he realized that it seemed to be his fault that the other party couldn't get through on the phone.
Slow down your speech: "Is Jason's body still there?"
This is very important. If you have him, revive him. If not, wait for him to win the revival match.
Batman's voice remained unchanged:
[I've been trying to contact you for a long time, but your phone was always switched off. I finally got through to you today.]
[Jason's body... Alfred buried him in Gotham's cemetery.]
"Wait a minute? From what you're saying, it sounds like Afu is doing all the work. What are you doing?"
I am looking into why Shiva attacked us.
I found out, and the reason is you.
"Holy crap! Seriously? I don't even know her, why is she looking for me?"
No, how could I be blamed for something for no reason? I was in the Metropolis, and I didn't cause any trouble for Ms. Shiva.
Tian Xiaoban thought back to what he had done after leaving Gotham, and it seemed that it had nothing to do with this Ms. Shiva.
[Because of the book you wrote. Shiva learned a part from Deathstroke, but she wanted the whole thing.]
After Shiva attacked us, Wayne Manor was invaded by Deathstroke. He took the book.
"..."
Tian Xiaoban remained silent, covering her face with her hands to show her embarrassment.
Okay, Jason, I'm so sorry! I'll take the blame, I'm coming to your rescue!
"I'm coming to Gotham right away, where are you?"
[I'm at Wayne Manor.]
"Wait here, I'll take a taxi right away."
"Taxi! I need to go to Gotham right now, price doesn't matter, I'll pay by card!"
Amid the driver's shocked expression, Tian Xiaoban waved Bruce's black card.

..............................
Gotham.
This is Gotham's old town, which can also be considered the most dilapidated part of Gotham, with the slums being the second most dilapidated.
This is a gathering place for homeless people; the ground is covered in excrement and urine, and it's filthy and chaotic.
Compared to the high-rise buildings in other areas, this place is full of dilapidated low-rise houses, patched up with rags and rusty iron pieces.
The houses that have been repaired are all inhabited. The majority are dilapidated ruins; calling them dangerous buildings is an understatement.
But what's amazing is that this place was not rebuilt in Gotham. The Court of Owls tacitly approved of its existence, or rather, under their influence, no one ever came to rebuild it.
Beneath this dilapidated place lies Gotham's earliest sewer entrance. The sewers here are intricate, old, and vast, with many areas created from natural caves.
Some natural caves are large enough to serve as concealed bases, making them ideal locations for underground laboratories.
This place is home to the claws of the Court of Owls, as well as assassins from the League of Assassins.
Just twenty meters below, there is a clean space transformed from a natural cave.
A group of people are conducting an experiment here.
"Aaaaaahhhhhh...!!!"
The soprano's voice echoed here.
She held two strange machines in her hands, and terrifying electric currents surged through the woman's body.
boom!
A loud bang echoed throughout the entire cave.
The instrument next to the woman overloaded and exploded while discharging electricity to her! Some of the metal even melted.
"Damn it, just a little bit more, just a little bit more!"
The woman was like a madwoman, constantly muttering to herself. She was unkempt in appearance but mentally agitated.
The old man, who had his hands behind his back, couldn't stand Ms. Shiva's incessant nagging any longer and scoffed:
"This is the tenth machine you've ruined, Shiva. What are you trying to do? Waste money? Or waste time?"
These machines all belong to him, ten of them, ten of them. These custom-made machines are very expensive.
"Lei Xiaogu, you've read that book too. Tell me, how can I turn the electricity in my body into a magnetic field!"
Ms. Shiva's expression was eager; she didn't care about the mockery, she only wanted results and answers.
The old man choked for a moment; he genuinely didn't know that. Although he had lived for a very long time and was a ninja master and martial arts expert, that book... was too eerie!
According to his experience as a martial arts master, the set of boxing techniques in the book was for health preservation, to keep one's body full of vitality.
But the book also states that you need to practice your boxing skills in an electric current.
This involves Lei Xiaogu's blind spots in knowledge.
Normally, this would be fatal, right?
Based on his years of experience as a demon leader, he had killed many of his subordinates with the electric chair, and he himself had been in the electric chair many times, only to be resurrected after being electrocuted.
This book requires people to practice martial arts while being electrocuted.
What kind of cult is this? Do they want to die even faster? A small current is masochism, a large current is suicide.
The scariest thing is that this thing can actually be mastered!
Having lived long enough, Lei Xiaogu also knew some of the truths about this world, such as magic, demons, and other-dimensional demon gods.
Knowing that these powerful monsters create strange things on Earth, such as magic books, scrolls, and magic circles, which can grant people power, but there will be a price to pay for gaining this power.
Lei Xiaogu believed that this thing must be the work of some demon again.
However, he didn't really care. Having lived for so long using the waters of Lazarus's Pool, he had killed more than just one or two demons in his life.
Most importantly, this power is fantastic.
Shiva is the best example, as is Robin from Batman. Unfortunately, Robin was killed when Shiva's full-force attack pierced his heart.
Lei Xiaogu has also been practicing this recently, but compared to Shiva, he hasn't even scratched the surface and can't generate a continuous flow of electricity within his body.
Shiva, on the other hand, has reached a crossroads where it must choose between continuing to be driven by the current or entering a magnetic field to rotate.
