I just want to live a peaceful life in DC world

Chapter 113
Clothes are randomly piled up on the sofa, except for a laptop computer, the rest of the open space on the table is almost occupied by beer cans, coffee cans, etc.——

Jacques recalled that the first time he went to the basement of Harley Quinn's house, it seemed to be the same. It seems that the rooms of women who live alone are often similar.

Seemingly aware of Jacques' thoughts, Vicki Valli blushed a little on her cheeks, and then she brushed her hair as if to ease her embarrassment.

"Sorry, I just had a bad mood these days because of the rejection of the manuscript, so I didn't clean up for a while. I just ran back and forth about 100 floors of stairs, and it seems that I have to take a shower first. You can sit wherever you want, don't Just treat it as your own home, there are drinks in the refrigerator."

After seeing Vicky quickly walked into the only room and closed the door, Jacques cleaned a small area on the sofa, then sat down and breathed a sigh of relief.

The recovery and strengthening effects provided by Solomon Grundy's title seem to be very effective. Most of the injuries left on his body from the battle with Thomas Wayne just now have recovered, and it seems that he does not need to go to the hospital for treatment.

Thinking of this, Jacques took out his mobile phone from his arms and dialed Barbara's number.

"Jaquin, thank God, it's great that you're okay! We were all worried to death when we heard Harley and the others say that you fell from the building with that fake Batman."

Hearing Barbara's words, Jacques also felt relieved.Judging from her words, Kane's father and daughter have successfully sent Harry and the others back to the base.

So Jacques briefly explained his situation to Barbara, including meeting Vicky and agreeing to be interviewed by her.However, he decided not to mention Thomas Wayne's identity and the contract he signed with the witch for the time being.Just mentioning seeing Amanda Waller when leaving the Wayne Mansion.

"So it's a bit dangerous to say that you've been targeted by that woman."

"You mean Amanda Waller? Indeed, this woman can use state force, and it is indeed very tricky-"

"No, I'm not talking about Waller—of course she's dangerous too, I'm talking about that female fox, Vicky Valli."

Jacques immediately became vigilant, raised his head to confirm that the slight sound of water was still coming from Vicky's room, and then lowered his voice and asked solemnly.

"You mean that she may have lied, intending to harm me?"

“Maybe there’s some truth to it, but at least I’m skeptical about her claim to be a Batman fan — she’s probably written more stories to discredit Batman than everyone else combined.”

"Smear?"

"Yes, as a reporter for the Gotham Gazette, Vicki Valli is indeed obsessed with tracking and reporting Batman news. But most of them are negative news, such as interviewing prisoners captured by Batman, accusing Batman of Batman abuses lynching; or makes a big deal about the additional damage Batman caused in solving the case."

Having said that, Barbara sighed lightly.

"It's okay if it's just like this. The key is that she is very good at embellishing news reports. With some fluffy 'evidence', she can make up a large piece of outrageously exaggerated news."

Jacques frowned, then asked curiously.

"So she actually lied, and she is also responsible for Batman's wanted and damaged reputation now?"

"That's not the case. What's strange is that recently when the public opinion in the media generally held an unfavorable attitude towards Batman, Vicki Valli was the first media person to stand up and object. Although I don't know the specific reason, it is a fact. .”

It's not that he firmly opposes or supports Batman's position, but stands on the opposite position from public opinion. Jacques vaguely seems to understand something.

"So, Vicky Valli's position is closer to singing the opposite tune-is it the feeling of attracting attention and increasing her popularity by going against mainstream public opinion?"

"Attract attention. That's an apt statement of yours. But Vicky Valli seems to be aiming for something more than that. She's been nominated for a Pulitzer a number of times as a journalist, so maybe she's trying to reach the top." honor--"

Swish, Swish.
At this moment, a few noises came from the phone.

"Hello, hello? What's the matter, Barbara, is the signal bad?"

"Wait. It seems that something is wrong with Jacques!"

Barbara's voice instantly became serious, and her tone became extremely urgent.

"It seems that our communication has been intercepted by someone! Jacques, you have to move immediately, our location may have been exposed!"

Click.

As soon as Barbara finished speaking, she hung up the phone, probably because she hung up on her own initiative to prevent being followed by others.But in any case, Jacques was very sure of Barbara's judgment.

Someone is tracking his location!
Jacques stood up with a kick. He believed in Barbara's technology and the base's anti-reconnaissance capabilities.Then the problem of the communication being intercepted must not be caused by the other party, but because of his own side.

Listen to the content of the citizen's call - if you can do this and do such a nasty thing, Jacques will know the identity of the other party immediately.

dong dong dong.

There was a quick and rough knock on the door. Jacques looked dignified but did not intend to respond, but a sharp knife had appeared in his hand, and his whole body had entered a fighting state.

dong dong dong.

boom!
A loud noise came from the door, and Jacques raised his arm to throw the dagger, but to his surprise, after the door was knocked open, there was no one behind.

But of course the door was not just blown open by the wind. After a moment of deathly silence, several dark things rolled in from the door.

Jacques' face changed drastically. He had seen an object similar to this one in Kate Kane's secret basement not long ago-but obviously, this thing must be different from the non-lethal version Kate used.

Bang!
At the moment of lightning and flint, Jacques pushed open the door of Vicki Valli's room with all his strength.

"Wait, what are you doing, I'm not dressed yet—"

Vicky, who was still wet and only wrapped in a bath towel, opened her mouth wide and wanted to scream when she saw Jacques, but Jacques rushed up to cover her mouth at an extremely fast speed and threw her down.

Boom!

In the next instant, a violent explosion occurred in the living room, and Jacques, who was pressing on Vicky, felt the flames of the explosion sweeping across his back.Judging from the power of the explosion, if he was still in the living room just now, even his strengthened body would be blown apart.

"What the hell is going on with my home—"

Gritting his teeth, Jacques grabbed Vicky's arm, who was still staring blankly, and pulled her up.

"Sorry Miss Valli - we're going to start escaping!"
