I just want to live a peaceful life in DC world

Chapter 130 Homecoming

"I won't ask how you know what you said just now. But you have to know, before there is no conclusive evidence—"

"Conclusive evidence must be found, otherwise it's just my speculation, right. Don't worry, I know this very well."

Near the old industrial area of ​​Gotham City, Joaquin finally saw land again and was able to disembark from Gordon's kayak.

As Gordon said just now, seawater is poured into the city through the port and the sewer.Therefore, the originally bustling central city and the port area became the worst-hit places.

The old industrial area of ​​Gotham, which is close to the inland and relatively underdeveloped economy, escaped the catastrophe because it is far away from the port and there are no underground sewer facilities.

Jacques could see that the old industrial area, which had been desolate and secluded after Gotham's industrial decline, was now brightly lit due to the influx of citizens fleeing the flood.

On the contrary, the once neon psychedelic, dazzling and bustling downtown Gotham.Now under the night, there are only countless tall, dark reinforced concrete pillars, combined with the strong lights of the helicopters patrolling the sky to search and rescue the victims, it looks extraordinarily heavy and dark.

However, this scene is very close to the Gotham scene that Jacques imagined in his mind when he read comics when he was a child.Maybe this is the real face of Gotham, what I saw before was just an illusion under the cover.

"What do you plan to do in the future, I would like to remind you in advance that you are now under the highest order. Both the GCPD and the military have been ordered to use deadly force if you are found."

Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, Jacques still felt a little depressed after hearing Gordon's words.To be honest, he was very confident that with his own abilities, neither ordinary soldiers nor the police would pose a threat.

But even so, if there is a conflict, it is difficult for him to guarantee that he will not kill the killer every time out of self-defense. He is not cold-blooded and ruthless enough to be indifferent to killing.

"I'll find my companion as soon as possible. After all, the first thing we need to solve is the problem of flooding Gotham City. It's definitely not enough for me alone."

Gordon opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, but Jacques had already guessed what he wanted to say from his expression, so he shook his head slightly.

"I know you want to go find Barbara with me, but that's not okay. If you're caught acting with me, it's over. You stay with Waller to help keep an eye on her movements. I may still need you by then. help."

Gordon gritted his teeth, then lowered his voice and said with emphasis.

"Listen, Barbara is in your hands, she is yours now, so you have to be responsible! If anything happens to her, I will blame you, so you can't afford to go around, understand? ?”

What kind of speech is this irascible father-in-law to his son-in-law, Jacques really can't laugh or cry.

Although Jacques knew that what Gordon meant was that Barbara was now a member of the organization he was leading, and he was responsible for her safety, but this sounded really weird. No wonder Barbara said that Gordon was wrong. Talking is already a superpower.

Gordon didn't seem to notice this, and after emphasizing it by shaking his fist in front of Jacques, he turned and returned to the kayak.

However, Jacques found that Renee Montoya was still standing beside him, and it seemed that he had no intention of leaving with Gordon.

"I'm still on vacation now, so I don't need to go back with the director. And it doesn't matter if I'm found out that I acted together with you. If something really happens, I'll just quit GCPD and won't hurt the director. "

Seeing the determined expression on Montoya's face, Jacques knew that she wanted to act with him.

But Jacques seemed a little hesitant. After all, he knew very well that there would probably be a dangerous situation when returning to the base this time.Barbara's communication with herself was tracked before, so it is very likely that just like Vicky's house was bombed, the base has also been discovered by Amanda Waller.

In this case, the base may have become a trap that he has to step into.

As if sensing Jacques' thoughts, Montoya smiled slightly, his eyes full of determination.

"Don't worry, I'm not the eldest lady who needs your protection. If it really happens that I hold you back, you can leave me alone."

The problem is, if something happens to you when I team up with you, your old friend Kate will probably tear me apart.

Just when Jacques was about to reject her, the witch's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Take her with you, in case you need to use my magic at a critical moment, you also need a female body for me to possess, right?"

In fact, you are planning to find the next host immediately if I hang up, right?

Jacques immediately saw through the witch's true thoughts, but in fact, what the witch said made sense. If Montoya was brought along, at least there would be an extra insurance in case of difficulties.

"And you also need me to drive you, right, you can't just walk slowly on the road or hit the road swaggeringly when you are wanted"

Jacques sighed, so he had to hold out his hand.

"In this case, it seems that we will cooperate again, Officer Montoya."

Montoya showed a heroic smile, and held Jacques' hand tightly.

"My current identity is not a police officer, but just an enthusiastic member of the public. You can just call me Renee."

A moment later, Jacques sat in the passenger seat of Renee's car and started driving to the abandoned warehouse as the base.

Along the way, Jacques saw the deserted old factory area, full of citizens fleeing the flood, but most of the people's faces showed anxiety and uneasiness.

Some people were queuing up to receive relief supplies, and there was a big fight because of the problem of cutting the queue;

Some people begged for help from the aborigines in the old factory area because they did not receive a tent and did not sleep on the streets;

Some people gave speeches on the street, spreading rumors of doomsdayism, and many believers knelt on the ground to pray;
Many people paraded through the streets holding signs and signs cursing Batman and members of the Gotham Knights
"It's like going back to Gotham three years ago, isn't it? It was the same scene when the clown claimed to detonate a bomb to destroy Gotham. Although I admire Director Gordon very much, I can only say that our GCPD is too disappointing." , Batman has only disappeared for a few months, and the efforts of the past few years have come to naught."

Renee's voice was obviously ashamed and depressed, and Jacques didn't know how to comfort her.After all, this is also the task Batman entrusted to him. Although it is somewhat compulsive, Gotham has screwed up when it becomes like this.

However, what Jacques knew very well, although he failed to prevent the incident from happening——

But he will make those responsible pay the price.
