Thriller Paradise

Chapter 565: I, Joker (4)

Translator: Lonelytree

Suddenly an urgent series of footsteps that came from the corner before her interrupted Laughing Soul’s thought. At the same time, several light source came from that direction.

[Are those soldiers?] Laughing Soul thought. [They must have already seen my flashlight… it is too late to switch off my flashlight now, it will only affect my visibility…] She aimed her gun ahead. [O well, there is no other choice…] But several seconds later, the footsteps stopped around the corner but no one showed up.

“Poison ivy.” A man’s voice said, “is that you?” His voice was not that loud but it echoed far down the wide underground sewer. It sounded like… he was asking a question.

“We mean no harm.” The next second, a female voice said, “We want to help you.”

“Who are you people?” Laughing Soul still had not put her guard down, if anything, she became more guarded.

“My name is Joe.” The man replied, “Joe Collins.”

“I am Marya.” The woman added. “We are rebels against the tranny of the Bruce, we are here to help you.”

Laughing Soul thought for a few seconds and then replied, “Come out into the open, let me see you.”

“We can do that, but we hope that you won’t shoot at us.” Joe said.

[No wonder they do not come out directly, they know that I am armed…] Once Laughing Soul heard that, she reacted instantly. Her eyes darted about and two seconds later, inside a crevice at the top of the cave that was not that obvious… she spotted a camera.

Bang

Laughing Soul kept the rifle raised with one hand while her own hand reached into the gun pouch by the side of her waist with lighting speed to take out a pistol and fired. The bullet accurately hit the camera and caused a spark.

“Oh, my god! What has she done?” Another man’s voice came from the other corner. No one was fast enough to answer him because…

“Do not move!” When Laughing Soul said that, she had already closed the 10 metres distance between them and appeared before the few people. The people hid at the corner were all grasped in shock when they saw this. One second earlier, they were shocked at the camera image that suddenly disappeared and the next second Poison Ivy already appeared right before them.

“Put down your weapon.” Laughing soul pointed her rifle at them and said threatening. “I will only count to two, one…”

“hey! Hey! Don’t be like that!” Joe said loudly. “we do not have any weapon with us!” he raised both of his hands, there was indeed nothing on his left hand while his right hand held something that looked like a gameboy. “I was using this to look through the surveillance.” There were in total two people behind Joe, one was Marya who spoke earlier and the other was a man who was slightly shorter than Joe. They were indeed not armed, all they had was flashlights.

“Listen, Miss. We know you are not some ‘resurrected Poison Ivy’.” Marya said, “Please regain your senses, you are not who you think you are… It’s the Bruce and his cronies who have wiped away your original memory and have implanted many maddening and scary things in your mind.”

[Oh?] Laughing Soul was startled and she thought. [So this scenario has that kind of setting…]

“I know I am not Poison Ivy.” Laughing Soul instantly replied, “And I am in full command of my senses, that is why… I do not trust any of you.”

“Look, I said this was a bad idea.” The short fella at the back said, “Let us go Joe, before she leads the people to this place…”

“Dar, have patience.” Joe shook his hand to cut Dar off. Then he turned to Laughing Soul. “Listen… Miss…” he looked around, “The underground sewer is the base of us rebels. We have planted many cameras here to avoid the pursue of The Bruce’s people. If we wanted to kill, then wouldn’t it make more sense for us to ambush you in the dark, instead of coming to you with flashlights?”

Laughing Soul observed them expressionlessly. Joe looked sincere, Marya had concern in her eyes while Dar looked worried and annoyed, he kept glancing behind him. Looks like these three were not lying.

“Fine, I will temporarily believe you.” Laughing Soul moved the barrel of the gun away. “Then… tell me something I need to know.” She was very experienced and the thing that she needed now was information.

“First, you have to deal with the tracing chip.” Joe answered.

“Tracing chip?” Laughing Soul was confused. “On me?”

“In your brain.” Joe answered. “The chip also contains the related memory of Poison Ivy and it will make your personality much harsher and more violent.” Hearing that Laughing Soul was reminded of something—Why Feng Bujue would voluntarily electrocute himself. With this as supporting evidence, the identity of these three as the rebels could be confirmed.

Actually if Brother Jue was here, he would be able to confirm that at first glance because Joe and Marya were the main characters in the original. In the original plot, the leader of the Rebel, Joe Collins (the descendent of the Joker) was modified into the Joker and the other four from the rebels were all made into the Penguin, Riddler, Two face and Ra’s Al Ghul. Their original memory was wiped away and in its place was a chip that contained the personality of a super villain which also had a tracing function in it.

And now, the scenario that the four from Underworld Frontline was experiencing was the events that happened one year before the original. The people from the rebels had not been captured by the Bruce yet and the four criminals that were modified were taken from the public.

[Hmm… in terms of memory and personality, as a player, it would not have any influence on me.] After hearing that Laughing Soul thought to herself. [But the function of the tracing chip should still be there… in other words, once I return to the surface, I will soon be captured by the cameras.]

“What kind of method do you plan to do with it?” Laughing Soul asked, “You are not going to crack open my head are you?”

“That won’t be necessary.” Marya said as she walked a few steps forward and took out something that looked like a phone from her shirt pocket. “Just take this with you. Even though it cannot bring back your original memory, at least it can block the signal from the chip.”

Laughing Soul accepted the thing carefully, she only sighed in relief when she read the item description.

Name: Signal Disruptor

Item Type: Plot Item

Quality: Normal

Function: Block the tracing chip signal of the chip inside one’s brain

Whether it can be taken out of the scenario: No

Remark: The function covers 2 metres, it will still be effective when placed inside one’s inventory.

After accepting this thing, the identity of the three could 100 percent be confirmed already.

“Thank you.” After Laughing Soul took the device, she put it directly into her inventory.

“Oh my god, what have they done to your body?” Marya widened her eyes at Laughing Soul. From her perspective, Laughing soul naturally looked like the Poison Ivy. Her skin was green and she wore a green and black tight, it looked like a gymnastic costume with open back. But the scary thing was… the surface of Poison Ivy’s body was covered with many leaf life materials and they were sewn into her skin like scales. The scene where Laughing Soul put the item into her inventory from the perspective of the rebels, was like she had shoved the thing directly into a pile of scales around her waist. Marya’s skin was covered in goosebumps.

“I don’t know…” Laughing Soul shrugged and had no comment. “Alright, now that the signal has been blocked, what to do next?”

“We plan to go and rescue the others.” Joe looked at Laughing Soul and said. “You…” He paused. “I do not know how you did what you did earlier but your marksmanship is out of this world, will you be willing to help us?”

…

At the same time, at the bay of Gotham. Two face played by Xiao Tan was slowly forced into a corner. The man who was busy escaping had no time to do anything else so he was still strapped to the flying saucer and scurried around like a rat. He was chased until he was dizzy around the many skyscrapers and interconnecting streets. Tens of thousand of mob were throwing everything that they could get on at him.

At the same time, Gordon’s face appeared on the livebroad screen. “Two face is always brought down… defeated… destroyed…” he started a lecture in his stern face. “by his own ambivalence…”

Following his lecture, a bat aircraft appeared in the night sky. This time, it was clear that it was the appearance of the real The Bruce.

“A committed villain is deadly.” Gordon said, “Just as you who are committed in faith are the true servants of the bat. Two face remains uncommitted… even to his own evil.”

When his spoke, Xiao Tan’s flying saucer suddenly lost control…

“What is happening!” Xiao Tan’s heart squeezed in shock. The flying saucer under his feet appeared to be taken over by someone else and it started to spin out of control even though the man tried to control it.

“As the coin flips, his power wanes…” Gordon’s words continue to echo, “upright again, the might of his hatred is awesome! But the power never lasts! Ambivalence is his downfall. For he knows not the power of faith!”

At this point, Xiao Tan’s flying saucer broke through its height limit and burst into the air in an inverted manner.

Just like… a coin that was tossed into the air.
