I just want to live a peaceful life in DC world

Chapter 118 The Ratcatcher

In the depths of Gotham's sewers, countless rats driven away by the witch's terrifying power ran wildly in the wide sewers, but not all of them were aimless.Among them, several mice that ran extremely fast came to a wooden door after going around a few complicated turns, and then slipped through the gap under the wooden door.

"What, what? They actually did this kind of thing. I'm sorry, it's all because I underestimate the enemy, so many children were brutally killed."

In the middle of the room, a slender body was curled up in the corner of a small wooden bed, and the person talking to her turned out to be an extremely huge mouse, which stood up and danced and squealed.

"Thank you for your concern, Sebastian. But I can't let it go. In this case, I can only inform that person, and he will never allow them to do anything in the sewer—"

"So tell me, who do you want to notify, Miss Mousecatcher?"

Suddenly, in the dim room, a low and indifferent voice sounded.

The thin body curled up at the head of the bed let out a sharp exclamation, and then quickly jumped off the bed, holding a small mechanical device the size of a microphone with a faint blue light in its hand.

"You! Who are you?!—No, how did you find this place and how did you get in!"

Holding a sharp knife in his hand, standing in the middle of the room was Jacques with a stern face.

Although there was only a dim oil lamp hanging on the wall of the room, with night vision, Jacques could clearly see the appearance of the culprit who manipulated the rats to attack them.

This is a thin girl, about 20 years old.He has messy short black hair, and is wearing tattered clothes sewn together with various black fabrics.On a handsome face with Latino features, a pair of piercing eyes stared at Jacques with hostility and vigilance.

"This is indeed a hidden place. I didn't expect there to be such a room in the sewer. Without your 'friend' leading the way, I really couldn't find it."

Jacques snapped his fingers, and a cloud of black mist suddenly appeared from a certain mouse on the ground, and then poured into Jacques' body.

"You bastard! You actually forcibly ordered me to possess a mouse! It's disgusting. There were even other mice courting me just now."

Jacques ignored the angry protest of the witch in his mind, and simply ordered her to shut up and return to the depths of consciousness, and his mind immediately quieted down.

In fact, when he saw the swarm of rats coming in like a tide and orderly advancing and retreating, Jacques probably knew that it was written by that character.

The Mousecatcher, the classic villain in Gotham.In the original comics, this character can order mice to commit various crimes, and is extremely cruel and ruthless. He is a frequent visitor to Gotham's sewers and a resident guest of Arkham Asylum.

However, the mouse catcher in this world seems to be different from what Jacques expected.Originally, Jacques thought that the mouse catcher was a strange old man who was tortured by an unjust prison and became psychopathic, but he didn't expect it to be just a girl who looked young.

This difference made him change his original plan to use stealth and stealth to assassinate.

"You bastard. Thank you for daring to come in front of me! After killing so many poor children, I will never spare you!"

Poor kid?Jacques was taken aback for a moment, but soon realized that the "children" she referred to referred to the group of rats that had been wiped out by the power of the witch, and couldn't help laughing.

"With all due respect, it was your 'children' who attacked me first, and I will defend myself because of it. If you really want to settle accounts, you are too wicked to sue first."

The girl's ratcatcher's face became more and more angry, her big eyes were fixed on Jacques, and she said through gritted teeth.

"They're not attacking you, they're just following my orders to scare you back—"

"go back?"

Jacques thought about the mouse catcher's language, and quickly understood what it was.

"If you want me to go back, it means that there are things or people in front that you don't want me to see. I understand, you and those rats are equivalent to the first layer of defense in the sewer, and will expel all people who enter the sewer. "

The mouse catcher opened his mouth slightly, and from her shocked expression, Jacques's guess was correct.But soon, her face became gloomy, and then the small device in her hand glowed faintly.

"I don't know what nonsense you're talking about, there's nothing in the sewers, only the rats and me who can only live with the rats—that's enough, I'll make you pay for the sin you just slaughtered those innocent lives of!"

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from the head, and then accompanied by a crisp click, there seemed to be a switch on the ceiling above the head that was turned on.

In the next second, a trapdoor on the ceiling automatically fell, and from the dark hole, countless gray or black mice fell towards Jacques' head like a waterfall.

"I'm not as cruel as you, so I won't kill you immediately - but these children want to avenge their compatriots, so I'm afraid you will have a lot of wounds on your body, just as a lesson for you to trespass in the sewer !"

Seeing that Jacques was overwhelmed by rats, like a hill covered with rats, the ratcatcher had a bright smile on his face.

"This is what you used to control the mice. If that's the case, I can only temporarily confiscate it."

Hearing the sound suddenly ringing in his ears, the smile on the mouse catcher's face froze.

"Ah!! My hand!!!"

Jacques roughly knocked the thin ratcatcher down to the ground, then put her arm on her back, and when she let go because of the pain in the joints, he snatched the small device from the ratcatcher to himself hand.

"Let me try this thing. Stop everything for me!"

Jacques held the device tightly, trying to concentrate on giving orders to the mice, but the group of mice didn't obey his orders, they just scattered and left from the holes in various corners.

"It's useless, these children will only listen to me-ah!! What do you want, rogue!"

Jacques touched her body carefully, and after confirming that she did not have a second mouse control device, he pinned the thing he snatched to his waist, but grabbed the mouse catcher by the back collar and pulled her from the ground up.

"At least it's nice to keep you out of control of the mice. Come on, come out with me."

"Give me that thing back, it's my daddy left me—uh!"

The mouse catcher, who wanted to struggle at first, immediately calmed down after feeling the cold blade close to his neck.

"As long as you cooperate obediently, I don't intend to hurt you. Don't worry, I just want you to help lead the way."

However, when Jacques held the mousecatcher to open the door and walked out of the room, in the sewer outside, he found Vicky who he had left waiting here was lying on the ground, her eyes closed tightly, and her life and death were unknown.

And beside Vicky, there was a burly figure over three meters tall.
