I just want to live a peaceful life in DC world

Chapter 142 Arkham Talent Center

The Arkham Asylum, located on the outskirts of Gotham, was not directly affected by the Gotham flood because it was located in the middle of the mountain.

Moreover, because Gordon was worried that someone would take advantage of the disaster and escape, he deliberately dispatched a small team here to be on guard just in case.

And under the night, a Black Hawk helicopter slowly landed outside the gate of Arkham Asylum.As soon as the helicopter landed, people immediately surrounded the Arkham Asylum.

"Wait, stop here. Director Gordon said that Arkham Asylum is closed today and no visitors are accepted." The leader was Harvey Bullock, a burly GCPD agent wearing a coat.

Jumped out of the helicopter cabin were two men dressed as soldiers of the Mildew Army. The leader was tall and had a face as hard as a knife and an axe. But one eye was covered by a black eyepatch.

And the person standing behind him, after seeing Agent Bullock, quietly pressed his hand on his military cap, keeping a low profile as much as possible.

You guessed it right, sure enough, Arkham was guarded by Gordon's people, not only to prevent escape, but also to guard against Amanda Waller.

Standing here are the dead shooters Floyd Lawton and Jacques disguised as soldiers of the Mildew Army.

After a brief exchange of glances with Jacques, Lawton took out a piece of paper from his arms according to their plan in advance, and walked towards Agent Bullock.

"We have an order from Chief Disaster Relief Commander Amanda Waller to borrow a few prisoners from Arkham Asylum—or patients, I hope you can cooperate—"

"No, please go back!"

Bullock said without hesitation, his face became very gloomy, and he pushed back the official document that Lawton handed over without even looking at it.

"We only obey the orders of Director Gordon, and you have no right to take anyone away from here without authorization."

Jacques has heard of the detective Harvey Bullock, who is Gordon's old partner, although he occasionally plays around and likes to be lazy and fish.But he is Gordon's most trusted companion, and he doesn't give face to anyone except Gordon. Gordon's arrangement of him here shows his trust in him.

However, fortunately, Jacques has already anticipated this situation and has prepared a solution for it.

"Harvey, get out of the way. Director Gordon has agreed to their request."

Seeing the last person to get off the helicopter, Agent Bullock's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Renee? Aren't you still on vacation? Why are you staying with them?"

Renee pursed her lips, and after a moment of hesitation, she walked slowly to Agent Bullock.

"Director Gordon allowed me to return to the team early because of the lack of manpower, and asked me to come with them to lead people. In a word, I'm here to inform you that Director Gordon already knew about this matter and obtained his permission."

Brock frowned suspiciously, then picked up the phone from his waist.

"I haven't heard James say this. You all wait a moment. I'll confirm the situation with the director."

However, Bullock called the mobile phone several times back and forth, but it seemed that he couldn't get through.

"What's going on? The phone has been disconnected at this time."

"Maybe it's because the flood damaged some signal relay devices. If we continue to delay, I don't know how many important facilities in Gotham will be damaged. So can we hurry up? It's not good for everyone to delay each other at this time."

Just as Lawton was urging in a deep voice with an anxious look, Jacques also quietly put the bat signal jammer back into his trouser pocket at an angle where no one could see.

Harvey Bullock gritted his teeth, then stared at Renee with serious eyes.

"The director really personally informed you that you can let them pick you up, right, not someone else telling you something like that"

"It is. I can assure you, Harvey, that it was indeed Commissioner Gordon's order."

After getting Renee's assurance, Bullock sighed softly, then turned his head and gestured to other GCPD members, and those GCPD members immediately dispersed to make way.

"Come with me, move faster, and don't run around casually, or you will be responsible for the consequences if something happens—by the way, Renee, congratulations on your recovery and return to the team. We will celebrate after the matter is over."

However, a look of sadness flashed in Renee's eyes, and she quickly lowered her head to prevent others from seeing her.

"Thank you for your help, Renee."

When Jacques passed by Renee, he whispered something in a volume that only the two of them could hear.

"I'm not helping you, but I'm helping Gotham estimate that after this matter is over, I will definitely be criticized by Director Gordon—no, it should be that I am leaving GCPD."

Renee's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she took a deep breath, then returned to a normal expression on her face and followed the queue in front.

Jacques doesn't know how to comfort Renee, he knows that the only thing he can do now is to solve the current Gotham problem as soon as possible - for this reason, some people here are very important in his plan.

Under Bullock's leadership, Jacques came to one of the most famous buildings in the DC world for the first time, which is also the well-known "abnormal human research center" in Gotham City, Arkham Asylum.

Arkham Asylum, full name Elizabeth Arkham Criminal Sanitarium for the Mentally Ill, although it is a sanatorium, but with a lot of sponsorship from the Wayne Foundation, it has protective measures comparable to the strictest prison in the world.

As Brock said just now, running around here will cause big troubles. There is a camera monitoring them almost every 10 meters on the ceiling above their heads, and there will be an indestructible alloy gate to isolate them every 50 meters in the corridor. , without Brock's permission, they would probably be stuck in place as soon as they entered the door.

After entering the prisoner holding area, you can see that in the "ward" surrounded by metal fences on both sides, there are crazy mental patients, some of them huddled in the corner of the cell and muttered to the wall, and some of them hit The ghosts and wolves howling over the fence.

However, these are just ordinary mental patients. Jacques' goal is not here, but in a highly monitored ward deep underground.

Take the elevator to the third basement floor. It is much quieter here than above, not because the patients here are emotionally stable, because the "wards" here are not separated by metal fences, but by tempered special glass with a thickness of more than 30 cm. And there will be no sound coming out.

Jacques glanced casually, and soon found acquaintances - "Scarecrow" Jonathan Klein and "Mr. Zas" Victor Zass who were sent in by him.

It seems that all the super villains are imprisoned here, and it is Gotham's real "talent" exchange center.

"Let me confirm that the patients you are going to take away this time are...Victor Fries, Mary Turner, and Nanase? What the hell kind of name is that?"

Brock flipped through the "Waller" order letter that Lawton handed him, frowning tightly.

"That's right, they are our targets. Mr. Freeze, Forest Owl, and King Shark."
