Thriller Paradise

Chapter 564: I, Joker (3)

Translator: Lonelytree

Ruoyu turned her head around and saw that fat aunty in the batgirl costume crawl out from inside the car. The aunty’s rotund body made the dress up look so ridiculous. But under the bat mask, her grimace of an expression and the rifle in her arm… would stop one from laughing.

“Bitch, I’ll kill you!” The fat lady used her horrible marksmanship to attack the Harley Quinn standing before her. Ruoyu did not want to entangle further with this woman nor did she want to explain herself. She merely silently took out a gun from her inventory and aimed a shot at the fat lady’s arm. Just as the scenario officially started, Li Ruoyu also heard that two separate system announcement, they were respectively, “Your appearance had been turned into the appearance of Harley Quinn in the perspective of the Npcs. There was a new item added inside your inventory.”

Similar to Feng Bujue, the item Ruoyu obtained was also a hand gun. Her gun was supposed to be a revolver but the barrel of the gun was as large as combat rifle and the mouth of the gun was larger than a shotgun’s.

“Oh! Ah—” The fat lady screamed in agony after she was shot and crumbled to the ground. The weapon that she was holding earlier had dropped to the side and she was no longer capable to using it again. For the various NPCs in this scenario, the various damage that they might receive was, in contrary to the players, was very ‘authentic’—if you got caught in a car accident, they would die, and if their limbs were shot, they would lose their mobility. So it was not really their fault that they could not defeat the Bruce… no matter how weak the current Batman was, he was not someone who could be taken down by a common citizen.

“I am sorry.” Ruoyu said with any emotion and then turned around to walk away. All of her action was recorded down by the floaters inside the tunnel and it was broadcasted on the big screens all over the city. From the perspective of the NPCs, what they saw was a female madwoman wearing a low cut tank top that showed off her curves and abs and wore two ponytails and heavy dark make up. She drove her car and directly rammed it into the vehicle of her two challengers. And then she brutally murdered one of them and incapacitated the other.

…

At the same time, at the other side of the city.

“Hmm… based on that gait… this should be Ruoyu…” Feng Bujue observed as he stood under a big screen by one of the streets. “And here I thought I would be able to see her in a Harley Quinn costume through the surveillance, but she has assumed the identity of a completely different person entirely…” The disappointment was clear on his face. Thus, it was made clear that in this scenario, the players were merely occupying the bodies of the four characters whom already existed in this universe. Therefore when they saw themselves through the mirror or the surveillance camera, they would see the faces and bodies of the ‘characters’ that they were supposed to be playing.

“Qie… she is supposed to be a foreigner, but her curves are not even as voluptuous as Ruoyu herself…” Brother Jue used the tone of a gentleman and a critical eye and stood there to grumble under his breath with dissatisfaction. Perhaps some of you might ask, is it really okay for him to walk so openly down the street in the broad city?

That’s right, it was definitely fine… because a few minutes ago, Brother Jue had already ambushed a straggling citizen, grabbed his tattered coat and covered his body with it. After all the tracing chip in his brain had already lost its uses, as long as he continued in a disguise at the angles where the camera would not see him, then he could have easily walked out the street with no one to pay him any attention.

“In any case… it is clear that Ruoyu does not need my help.” Feng Bujue’s gaze moved to the side and turned to look at the two other people on the split screen. He thought to himself. [Poison Ivy snuck into the underground sewer the first chance she got and successfully shook off the floaters… it has to be Laughing Soul, who else would be so clever. Hmm… After she returns to the surface, she should be able to come to the conclusion about the presence of the ‘tracing chip’. Combine that with the ‘electrocution example’ that I did earlier, I believe she would soon come up with her own solution to the problem.” At this point, his gaze focused on Two face on the screen. “Aiz… kiddo, you really are given the role of Two Face. In a way, that is so very appropriate…”

Looking at Xiao Tan who was trying to escape on screen, Feng Bujue revealed a helpless smile. “O well, this can’t be helped…” He gave a long sigh and then he kicked on the ground underneath his feet. His body then arched through the night like a sharp arrow. Instantly he leaped onto the roof of a nearby building.

“Even though this place is a parallel universe that has nothing to do with the DC main universe, but 80 percent of the ‘basic setting up of the city’ would not have changed.” Brother Jue stood at the high ground and looked around him. He observed the skyline as he mumbled to himself.

Several seconds later, based on the map that he had memorized from the last time he had arrived at Gotham and compare that to the many buildings and streets that he saw on the big screen earlier, he had soon and swiftly locked down Xiao Tan’s current location.

…

“This place stinks…” Laughing Soul had been staying inside the underground sewer for more than 10 minutes alter but the authentic stench around her caused her brows to be knitted closely. By then, she already attached a flashlight to her rifle and was moving forward with her weapon. “The… stood at the Peary Gates. His face was worn and old; I was old enough to know that your heart was a train … that the doors to your sanity were hanging on their hingers.” She mumbled to herself. “These are two separate poems, the terms that are specifically left out, it is probably to tell us to gather at the police station…” She walked as she thought out loud. “I should not have expected anything less from the guild leader, this kind of method to transfer information sure is brilliant. Even if he said it before the camera, the NPC inside the scenario wouldn’t understand him and only we players would be able to see the message behind it…” At this point, her expression scrunched up with worry. “Wait a minute… but can Xiao Tan understand this?”

The more she thought about it, the more worried she became but she soon realized. “Hmm… but Brother Jue would have considered this as well, he would not left Xiao Tan to his own fate, he would have come up with the solution already.” With that in mind, she relaxed quite a bit. Even though Xiao Tan’s literary knowledge was worrying, Brother Jue’s brilliance was very trustworthy.
