I just want to live a peaceful life in DC world

Chapter 127 Drowning
"You want to leave here first?"

Hearing that Jacques wanted to leave first, Vicky's face clearly showed a disturbed expression.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon, Killer Crocodile, can you guarantee her safety here?"

The killer crocodile seemed to look at the female mouse catcher next to him pointedly, and the latter immediately waved her hands in a panic.

"Don't worry about the boss, I will still obey your orders, at least I won't trouble her during the underground period."

Killer Crocodile nodded, then turned to look at Jacques, and said in a deep voice.

"I will ensure the order here, but you have to be clear, if you can't come back, it's not just her, everyone here will."

After Joaquin comforted Vicky again, he and Killer Crocodile came to the pipe connecting the first and second floors of the sewer.

"We need to climb up and I'm pretty good at it, but if you—"

Jacques waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to worry about him.But at the same time, he thought of another question and asked curiously.

"Is this the only way from the second floor to the first floor? If so, others."

Killer Crocodile shook his head, a troubled expression appeared on his scaly face.

"Only this exit can still enter and exit because of the water blocking gate. The other entrances and exits cannot be opened due to water pressure problems. Fortunately, the vents seem to remain unblocked, but it is impossible for humans to enter and exit there except for rats. "

Jacques shrugged. It seemed that the only way to save the people here was to drain the water on the first floor of the sewer, which he had expected a long time ago.

Although the inside of the pipe is dark and narrow, there are still many metal depressions for easy climbing.Jacques used his night vision ability and the physical fitness trained by Cassandra to climb up the pipeline relatively easily.

Finally, after almost half an hour of climbing, Jacques hit a hard metal trapdoor on his head.

After opening the trap door, Jacques came to the ratcatcher's room again. There were water marks everywhere, but the water that had almost filled the place had been drained to the next level by the killer crocodile, while the rest of the sea water was drained to the next level by the sluice gate. The effect is blocked on the other side.

"I'll partially open the sluice gate later, but I'll close the sluice gate again immediately after you go out. There is another switch outside if you want to come back, but I'm not sure if you have enough strength in the water Turn it on."

Killer Crocodile followed Jacques out of the pipe, staring at Jacques with a pair of big yellow eyes.

"To be honest, I think you are simply asking for your own death. The nearest manhole cover is close to 300 meters. Even if you can swim in the dark, you will not be able to open the manhole cover when you are in a state of hypoxia. "

Jacques shrugged and said with confidence.

"Don't worry, of course I won't be so overwhelmed that I die - if that's the case, I might as well starve to death holding the beautiful woman down below."

When Killer Crocodile's huge hands were placed on the turntable of the gate switch, Jacques suddenly thought of something, and tentatively muttered in his heart.

(Witch, can you teleport me from here to the ground?)

"Don't dream, teleportation requires a lot more magic power than manipulating a mouse. If you want to do this, let me think about it, kill all the people below and let me absorb the magic power, and then let me possess that woman That's about it."

Sure enough, there is no such good thing. Although the witch has a very bad attitude towards herself, at least because of the contract, she can't lie about her problems.

In this case, as expected, we can only use the original plan.

"Three, two, one fast!"

Whoa!
The moment Killer Crocodile opened the sluice, a large amount of sea water poured in from the bottom of the opened sluice. After taking a deep breath, Jacques forced his way through under the strong water pressure.

The gate behind him slowly closed again, and Jacques had no time to pay attention to it. All he needed to do now was race against time and swim to the manhole cover that Killer Crocodile had told him.

Jacques knows very well that the longest diving record for humans does not exceed 200 meters, which is already the limit of human beings. It is simply impossible to swim to 300 meters.

Sure enough, after more than two minutes, Jacques, who had swum for more than 170 meters, already felt that he was at the limit of hypoxia, his brain began to go on strike, and the salty sea water gradually poured into his lungs, and his heavy eyelids finally couldn't support him. close slowly
Suddenly, Jacques' eyes opened suddenly, and the muscles that had been extremely heavy due to lack of oxygen regained their vitality, and continued to swim forward with full of energy.

This is what Jacques relies on, the once-a-week resurrection effect brought by the title of Solomon Grundy.Under the effect of this ability, although he did drown halfway, but after being revived, he was able to continue diving in the most perfect physical condition.

Sorry, but having two lives means being able to do whatever you want.

Finally, Jacques saw a faint but reassuring light shining from the ground into the sewer ahead.It seems that there is the sewer manhole cover that Killer Crocodile mentioned.

Just when Jacques was relieved and felt that victory was in sight, suddenly he felt a chill down his spine.

He was too familiar with this feeling, and there was no doubt that it was a signal of a dangerous intuition calling the police.

"Originally, I sensed the reaction of a drowned person, and thought it was a warrior who could strengthen my army of dead water, but it seems that after I came to this world, the senses of this new body have become dull?"

Jacques was startled, because he knew very well that he was underwater now, but the sound that came to his ears was as clear as if it was on the ground.

The more important question is, how did the other party manage to speak underwater? !
In just a split second, Jacques immediately made a judgment, and swam vigorously with both hands to accelerate to the bottom of the manhole cover—even if he had his second life now, he was about to enter a state of hypoxia, no matter who the other party was, and It is definitely not a wise choice for him to fight underwater.

However, the opponent didn't intend to give him a chance to escape. When he felt the wave of breaking water coming from below, Jacques had no choice but to turn around and block.

Bang!
"Well, who are you—Gulu Gulu!"

Judging from the hand feeling, Jacques felt that he seemed to have missed a certain metal weapon, but the opponent's movement seemed to be abnormally fast. After the weapon was blocked, a strong hand grabbed Jacques' throat like iron clamps , slamming it hard against the manhole cover above.

The only air left in his lungs was expelled by the impact, and Jacques subconsciously wanted to raise his doubts amidst the pain, but he took a mouthful of the foul-smelling seawater just as he opened his mouth.

Even so, the other party seems to have heard Jacques' question and responded——

"I am Batman."
