Chapter 15 Shiva

After Shiva and Seven Kills escaped from the prison wagon, they joined forces, threatening the lives of the surrounding police officers to temporarily force Nightwing back and successfully evade capture. Of course, from that moment on, they were essentially completely at odds with the righteous side in the script.

The time they spent captured was like a rest for them. Although escaping consumed some physical energy, overall, their "both values" were almost full.

With their abilities, and in good physical condition, they could move freely through the concrete jungle like superheroes. The distance between building rooftops was nothing to them; they could even do the kind of building-to-building leaps seen in *The Matrix*.

Therefore, after successfully escaping, the two went their separate ways, quickly disappearing into the night.

Let's leave Seven Kills' whereabouts aside for now and focus on Shiva.

Of the six players, Feng Bujue wasn't the only one who had read the *War of the Cowl* comic. Shiva also knew the general plot, but he was confident in his combat ability to win, so he didn't plan to get too involved with the plot characters.

But now, the situation was different. Facing an opponent like Feng Bujue, who loved to play tricks and schemes, Shiva naturally couldn't be too straightforward, or he would suffer a great loss.

After confirming that he had shaken off the pursuit, he first found a place with internet access and began gathering information.

News about "outsiders" was all over the internet, and the most-clicked video on the video websites was "Nameless's" production, "The Death of Robin."

Shiva watched the video and read some news reports, gaining a certain understanding of what Feng Bujue had been doing recently. Without a doubt, "Nameless" was Feng Bujue, and this kid's appearance could now be confirmed.

And the most critical piece of information, he believed, was that this Feng Bujue had not been captured.

Shiva and Seven Kills were referred to in the news as "Extraterrestrial Criminals A and B." The news of their capture, and even their escape, was available online. But the "Nameless" one, the madman who scattered money on the streets, killed police officers, and killed Robin, the news didn't mention his capture. This meant that he hadn't been caught by official forces, at least.

Shiva made three assumptions: one, this kid was caught by the God's Net people and was being abused through extrajudicial means; two, he was caught by Jason Todd and was being subjected to S&M three, he was still at large, plotting some conspiracy.

Objectively speaking, the possibility of the first situation was extremely small. After all, the God's Net people were "good guys." They would be saddened by Tim's death, but not to the point of losing their minds. If they had really lost their minds, Nightwing wouldn't have been so easy to deal with when he was escaping just now...

The probability of the second situation was also very small. Taking the strength of Death Angel as a reference, Jason Todd was probably only stronger, and this person was also extremely violent. It would be difficult for a level 28 player who mainly relied on tricks to "be captured alive" by Todd; being killed in battle would be normal.

Therefore, the third hypothesis seemed to be the most reliable.

After determining that Feng Bujue was still at large, Shiva began to speculate on the other party's intentions...

"If I were a non-combat player, what would I do at this point?" He asked himself.

Soon, three words popped into Shiva's mind: "Batcave."

Tonight, the heroes of God's Net must be out in full force, busy and overwhelmed. Besides a wheelchair-bound sage and the old butler Alfred, there probably wasn't anyone else in the Batcave.

This was simply a treasure trove guarded by the old, weak, sick, and disabled, with equipment and props to take as one pleased!

Thinking of this, Shiva decisively checked the map of Gotham City and then headed to Wayne Manor. Even if he couldn't find Feng Bujue on this trip, getting to the Batcave first would be extremely advantageous.

So, ten minutes later, he heard gunshots on the street in the distance from the top of a building, and then saw the contest between Todd and Feng Bujue.

Although it was night, the streetlights and billboards emitted bright light, and the moonlight was also good that night, allowing Shiva to clearly observe every detail of Feng Bujue's movements.

Also, because the street was relatively empty, sound could travel far, so Shiva, who had a C-level Investigation Specialization, could even hear their conversation clearly.

Under such favorable conditions, Shiva certainly wouldn't show himself. He couldn't be sure if the bomb on Feng Bujue was real or fake, nor did he know if the bomb's power and detonation conditions were really as Feng Bujue said. At this moment, watching from a relatively safe distance was undoubtedly the best choice.

As for Feng Bujue, he had already realized… that he was not only being attacked by Todd, but also being monitored by other players. Of course, Brother Jue's tactics remained the same. Even if he didn't know that there were players nearby, he was still preparing to put on his armor. Because Todd was really too strong and annoying, forcing him to have no choice.

"Jason! Don't be too arrogant!" Feng Bujue stopped firing his submachine gun for cover, forcibly prying open the trunk of the car with a pipe wrench, and shouted at the same time, "My extraterrestrial companion is nearby monitoring this place. As long as he makes a move, you're dead!" With that, he rolled over and disappeared into the trunk, and closed the lid by the way.

"Holy crap!" At this moment, ten thousand grass mud horses were galloping in Shiva's heart. He cursed in his heart, "What the hell! How did this guy know I was nearby! Could he be making it up! His luck is too good! This bluff is not good for me!"

Jason Todd was indeed a superhero. Before Feng Bujue finished speaking, he scanned the roofs, balconies, windows, and other places of the surrounding high-rise buildings with hawk-like eyes. Shiva couldn't dodge in time and was discovered.

"There really is someone…" Todd raised his voice and said in Shiva's direction, "I heard the God's Net frequency saying that you escaped from Nightwing's hands, huh… not bad." As he spoke, he pulled the trigger unreasonably, without giving Shiva a chance to explain.

The rooftop where Shiva was staying was higher than Todd's. He quickly retreated backward, out of the other's line of sight.

Unexpectedly, Todd immediately switched to a grappling gun, climbed onto the rooftop of another building next to him, and came to a higher level than Shiva, continuing to shoot. Obviously, he had changed his target.

Shiva could only admit that he was unlucky, who told him he didn't have a bomb tied to his body… And Feng Bujue, after he got into the trunk, Todd could no longer use a gun to shoot him. Who knew what kind of posture this kid was in inside, what if he hit the bomb?

"Listen! I'm not with him!" Shiva rolled behind cover and shouted loudly, "I can prove it! Let me help you kill him!"
