What? Teammate lives in Arkham Asylum?

Chapter 1040 Nick Fury: When will Li Chengfeng be able to come back to work?

Gotham, a magical city with too many talented people and beautiful scenery.

According to incomplete statistics, this damn city has at least six or seven curses from different sources, one of which is that the subway and railway system is always unpunctual.

There are 666 demons living the lives of ordinary citizens in Gotham City, calmly waiting for the end of the world.

There is a world-destroying Leviathan squatting in the port waters.

Six different cults are entrenched, such as those that worship Barbatos or those that worship the Three Palaces.

The air pollution is so serious that when the Flash arrives in Gotham, he can't run at full speed because of this and will cough while running.

There are traces of Scarecrow's fear gas in Gotham's water, traces of Clayface's residue (which causes people to mutate or become cancerous), the Joker's gas, Bane's venom, and the Swamp of Madness, the Swamp of Carnage, and the Lazarus Pool leaking into the water supply.

Aquaman Arthur doesn't think the water in Gotham is water... God has mercy on him, he even thinks Coke is water.

Moreover, this water cannot be purified, otherwise it will produce a black liquid of unknown origin that is extremely dangerous.

Water is dangerous, and so is grass. Because of Poison Ivy, the grass in Gotham is likely sentient and evil.

All these factors combined, plus the fact that Dr. Hugo had once improved the genes of some Gothamites...

So the people of Gotham are slightly stronger than normal humans in other places.

Oh yes, the only good news is that there are no vampires in Gotham, because vampires would be poisoned to death if they sucked the blood of Gotham residents.

Even life, death, and dimensions have different manifestations in Gotham City.

Gotham has a rift leading to the afterlife, and the line between life and death is more blurred, so it is harder for people here to die...

The dimensional wall is relatively weak, so the welcome zone and some other dimensional entities can penetrate it.

All in all, this city is fucked.

Of course, Gotham doesn't need saving...

Because Gotham itself is alive.

But even so, Bats still stand in the night of Gotham, guarding this city full of all kinds of poisons. It feels like a stubborn dog pointing at a goddess who suffers from almost all kinds of STDs and saying "she is different".

So apart from all appearances, the Bat's impact on Gotham is somewhat like persuading a prostitute to become a good woman.

It's just that Gotham City is old.

It would be better to kill it than to teach it a good lesson.

"Riddler, how on earth did you escape from Arkham this time?"

"I feel your every move, I know your every thought, I've been with you since birth, and I'll see you as you decay. What am I?"

"Oh my god, I've had enough of you..."

"The answer is the reflection... wooooooo!"

The Riddler couldn't wait to announce the answer to his riddle. Just as he was about to give a nervous laugh, the bat pinched his tongue with lightning speed.

"You should leave your riddle to your fellow patients... I'm not interested in playing such a boring game with you."

After saying that, Bat punched the Riddler on the forehead.

Although he reduced his strength, blood spurted out instantly because his hand was still holding the Riddler's tongue.

The bat calmly let go of his hand.

"The tongue tie has been broken. That should keep you quiet for a while, right?"

Bat looked at the unconscious Riddler, then raised his head and looked down from the skyscraper.

Gotham's night scene is probably the least prosperous among all the big cities.

But compared to before, it is much better.

Especially after Li Chengfeng truly gained absolute influence in the FBI.

Before he could finish his sigh, the communicator rang.

"Hello, this is Bruce Wayne."

"It's me, Nick Fury."

"Oh, black-marinated eggs."

"...I'm begging you guys, how come all of you decent people have been led astray by that bastard Li Chengfeng? It was fine if you called me that in private, but now you're throwing yourself at me!?"

"Then this year's sponsorship..."

"... Then again! As the saying goes, there are wrong names but no wrong nicknames. I also think this nickname suits my temperament very well... and it's particularly intimate." There was a hint of endurance in Nick Fury's voice.

"Come on, Fury. What's going on?"

"Well, since I'm fine, can't I ask about your situation? You're a consultant and sponsor of the American General Administration, and a core member of the Avengers of Justice..."

"Do you think I believe you?" Bat checked the caller's name again on the panel on his arm. "People, sometimes you don't have to be so secretive... If you want to ask, just say it."

"...Fuck, you and Clark Kent, I really don't know why, now you are becoming more and more like that bastard Li Chengfeng..." Nick Fury muttered, and then said with a bit of a broken jar, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I just want to ask you how Li Chengfeng is doing now! As his leader and future father-in-law, it's not okay for me to care about him!"

"Of course no problem. It will be even more okay if you just say it directly next time."

“No, next, time!”

"So... Black people don't mind using their tsundere attributes, which makes people feel... weird."

"...Li Chengfeng's been fighting all over the country because he's a Republic!" Nick Fury suddenly felt exhausted. "It's been a whole week since you guys came back from that so-called DC Universe, and there's been no movement at all. I'm really worried... Now the entire America General Administration's top military force is staying at your house!"

"Don't worry, I have no intention of overthrowing the FBI."

"Is that what I meant... Never mind. I'm tired."

Batman could basically imagine Nick Fury's face with a tired expression.

Now that things have come to this, he is too lazy to keep it in suspense.

"Li Chengfeng's current condition is a bit strange. Although his energy levels have begun to recover... you should be able to see this from the FBI's energy detection system," Bat said as he used the bat rope to pack the Riddler. "But even so, he seems to be missing an opportunity... I don't know what he's waiting for. In short, he's still stuck in that giant cocoon."

"Sigh... No sign of him emerging from his cocoon? I was hoping he'd get out soon and return to work... Work's been really stressful lately, and with the new FBI Academy's inaugural class about to graduate, I desperately need an extra hand!"

"...When has Li Chengfeng ever offered you help with something like this? Doesn't he usually focus on solving your biggest problem, but usually, he is your biggest problem?"

"Fuck, that makes sense... Then can we let him stay in the cocoon a little longer?"

Nick Fury also remembered Li Chengfeng's usual tone and asked from the bottom of his heart.

"Probably not."

The bat suddenly stared at the display screen on his arm.

"According to the monitoring system, three seconds ago, the monitored object experienced a violent energy fluctuation, reaching its highest peak ever."
