A few minutes ago, on the rooftop of the police station.
"So … what you want to tell me is …" Joey said in a tone that was between doubt and inquiry, "The four of you are actually aliens from a parallel universe?"
"That's right." Feng Bujue continued, "We are only temporarily borrowing the bodies of these four people. Once we leave, they will become normal people. They won't have the slightest impression of being 'possessed'. "
At this time, Brother Jue had improvised a set of relatively reasonable and unverifiable assumptions to explain his identity. In addition, he also expressed his willingness to cooperate with the resistance.
Joey and Maya were naturally skeptical of his statement, but overall, between believing and not believing, they were more inclined to believe.
"Okay." Joey let out a long sigh and responded.
"'Okay'?" Feng Bujue repeated the other party's words in a questioning tone, and then said, "This is such a ridiculous thing, aren't you going to ask a few more questions?"
"It doesn't matter." Joey replied, "Even if you're hiding something in your words, it doesn't matter."
"Oh?" Brother Jue laughed, "Aren't you worried … that I'm lying and using you?"
"Haha …" Joey laughed, stretched out his hand, and counted with his fingers, "You can jump from the top of a building that is nearly twenty meters high without getting hurt; you can easily carry Maya and me and jump back up; that 'ugly girl' only took thirty seconds to kill fifteen fully armed Robins; 'Poison Ivy' only took a few minutes to memorize the city's sewer map; and you …" When he said this, he turned his head and looked at Musashi who was modifying the searchlight not far away. "… You actually summoned a strange little boy out of thin air …" Joey shook his head and shrugged, and asked rhetorically, "With such great powers, do you still need to use us in a deceitful way?"
"Hmm … That makes sense." Xiao Tan listened by the side and also nodded seriously.
"What are you doing?" Feng Bujue glanced at Xiao Tan. "Go, go, go … go play with your coins."
"Oh …" Xiao Tan was really obedient. As soon as Brother Jue chased him away, he tactfully ran away.
Not only did he run away, he even took out a coin from his pocket and began to toss it in boredom.
…
[Name: Two-faced Man's Coin]
[Type: Plot Item]
[Quality: Normal]
[Function: Unknown (Only Two-faced Person can possess it)]
Can be taken out of the scenario: No
"Remark: This is a commemorative coin from Gotham City that was released in 1922. It is a very rare 'Mistake Coin'. Both sides of the coin have human heads printed on it, and one side has become twisted and scary due to the corrosion of strong acid. Just like … its owner.]
The moment Xiao Tan entered the scenario, the coin appeared in his inventory. But for now, he had no idea what the actual use of this thing was. After meeting up with Brother Jue, the two shared this information, and that was why Feng Bujue half-jokingly asked Xiao Tan to play with the coin.
…
"In any case, I accept your suggestion of cooperation," Joey said to Brother Jue. Joey quickly told Brother Jue, "After all … our so-called resistance group only has two members left. There is no reason for us to reject them."
Maya, who had been standing next to Joey, reminded him, "By the way, Joey, I'm afraid we can't return to our base in the sewer."
Joey replied in a helpless tone, "Yeah … Darr must have already told The _ Bruce the coordinates of the stronghold. I think … they are probably waiting for an opportunity to catch us all in one fell swoop. That's why they haven't launched their attack yet." He gripped his fists angrily. "Sigh … I have to admit, The _ Bruce is a scary person."
"You don't have to look down on yourself." Feng Bujue added, "I think, be it in terms of stamina or intelligence, you can compete with him. But … in terms of experience and willpower, you are still lacking. "
Joey was praised by Brother Jue, but he did not feel smug. He only replied calmly, "Ha … Thank you, I hope you're right."
Right then, Maya spoke again, "Hmm, Mr. Clown, I have a question … Are you the leader of your team?"
Feng Bujue heard that and did not answer immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Ruo Yu.
"Why are you looking at me?" Ruo Yu glared back at him.
"Fine, I won't look." Feng Bujue smiled and then turned back to Maya and the rest. "Hmm … That's right, I'm the boss here."
"Then … can you tell us more about your plan?" Maya asked.
Joey said, "That's right, I'm also curious …" He paused and glanced to the side. "What's the point of modifying the searchlight that has been abandoned for almost a century?"
"Oh, that." Feng Bujue said, "That's the first step of my great plan …"
"Leader, more than 95% of people who say something like that are villains, and 80% of them will fail in the end." Xiao Ling, who was sitting on the edge of the rooftop, was in charge of keeping watch.
"Stop nagging … This isn't a children's cartoon," Feng Bujue replied with narrowed eyes.
"Because it's not, you sound even more stupid when you say it …" Ruo Yu added.
"Okay okay …" Feng Bujue changed his words helplessly. "This is the first step of a very ordinary plan that I came up with."
Xiao Tan quickly asked, "So, what's the ultimate goal of this plan?"
Feng Bujue sneered, raised his arms like a chuunibyou and replied, "Let Batman … be reborn!"
"What?" Joey and Maya asked in unison. They really didn't understand what Brother Bujue meant.
"If you're talking about Batman, there's one in the city now, and he's alive and well." Joey said thoughtfully, "Could it be … you want to resurrect the legendary Bruce Wayne?"
"Heh … no, no …" Feng Bujue pretended to be enigmatic and replied in a meaningful tone, "'Batman' doesn't have to be a person. This word represents a kind of spirit. "
Just as they were talking, Musashi, who was next to the searchlight, interrupted with a strange smile, "Hiss … Boss, I've already done it."
"You can kill a person, but you can't kill a spirit." As Feng Bujue spoke, he walked toward the searchlight. "Just like in a novel — the person dies, but the spirit lives on."
As he said that, he walked to the front of the searchlight.
"Look, just like you said, I changed it to a smiley face." Musashi raised his head to look at Brother Jue.
"Hmm, not bad." As Feng Bujue spoke, he took out the military shovel from his inventory and used the skill, Not So Hasty Repair, on the giant searchlight.
The embarrassing thing was … Brother Jue's first use of the skill failed. As a player with level C workmanship mastery (75% success rate) and Alchemist's Dedication (10% additional success rate), his luck was indeed worthy of a villain.
Of course, the exhaustion of 200 Stamina Points was nothing to Brother Jue. Even if the skill failed, it wouldn't enter cooldown, he could just use it again.
"Okay, the circuit has been reconnected, right?" Feng Bujue asked after successfully activating the skill.
"That goes without saying, hiss hiss hiss …" Musashi replied in his usual strange tone.
Feng Bujue nodded and walked to the side of the searchlight. With a powerful tug and a tug, he managed to turn the machine that weighed several hundred kilograms upward by eighty degrees.
"Then, turn it on," Brother Jue ordered.
Musashi received the order and immediately used his wretched little steps to run over to the electrical box and put down the operating lever.

With the sound of the motor starting, a strong white beam of light shot into the sky.
"I still don't understand …" Joey looked up at the "smiley face" in the sky and asked, "You said you want Batman to be reborn, but why did you put the Joker's logo in the sky?"
"I'll make you understand." Feng Bujue adjusted the angle of the searchlight and then released his grip. "But now … before Bruce and his team arrive, let me give everyone a brief overview of … our plan of action for the next few hours."
