"Ding!"

"Combat detected, dropped reward: Dionysian Factor (Joker)"

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, dropped reward: Dionysian Factor (Harley Quinn)"

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, dropped reward: Martial Arts Master (Batman)"

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, dropped reward: Super Soldier Serum (Black Knight Batman)"

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, dropped reward: Cryokinesis (Killer Frost)"

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, dropped reward: Toxin Immunity (Poison Ivy)"

The explosion just now had dragged everyone into the fray, and the notifications for the dropped rewards rang out one after another in Su Quan's mind.

Yes, Su Quan was here too!

After Harley Quinn learned the Joker's location from Barbara Gordon, she had returned to find Su Quan first. Su Quan lent her the Batcycle and, while he was at it, gave her a Wakandan vibranium spear.

In the movie, Harley Quinn began using the javelin belonging to Suicide Squad member 'Javelin' Gunter Braun after he died, and she achieved quite a lot with it.

Su Quan had originally thought this 'Killing Joke' incident would be a clash between the two Batmen and the Joker and Harley Quinn. He hadn't expected a wild card to appear halfway through; Amanda Waller had actually brought the Suicide Squad to muscle in.

If you don't have the ability to flip the table, don't go sticking your nose into every situation!

Su Quan hadn't even gone looking for her yet, and she had proactively stepped up to poach Barbara Gordon, whom he had his eye on. Truly, if you don't court death, you won't die!

Although Su Quan hadn't had much contact with Barbara Gordon, the bond between her and Harley Quinn was very strong. If he hadn't been interested in Barbara Gordon, why would he have had Harley Quinn specifically bring a computer over?

Was it just so Barbara Gordon could see the photos on the computer?

He had originally thought that since Belle Reve Penitentiary had the Suicide Squad, he could form a Birds of Prey—or rather, a real Suicide Squad—at Arkham Asylum.

After all, he could infinitely farm the Dionysian Factor; a squad that couldn't die performing suicide missions—that's what you call a Suicide Squad, right? Amanda Waller's Suicide Squad was a pure waste of resources!

In the comics, it was Barbara Gordon who formed the Birds of Prey, while in the movie, it was Harley Quinn. Now that they could be combined into one, Su Quan was quite looking forward to this real Suicide Squad of Birds of Prey.

Especially since having Amanda Waller's Suicide Squad compete against his own squad should be very interesting!

Now that Amanda Waller had poached Barbara Gordon, he would just change the way he played!

After Batman left carrying the unconscious James Gordon, the Black Knight Batman, who had been hiding in the shadows, also quietly departed.

Originally, the two of them had planned for one to save James Gordon and the other to capture the Joker, but upon arriving, they discovered Amanda Waller's people were also there, so they changed their plan.

Batman appeared in the open, while Black Knight Batman remained hidden in the shadows just in case.

Come to think of it, Batman is Batman; even though the Suicide Squad had been keeping a close eye on the circus tent, and Copperhead and Black Spider were also nearby, no one had managed to discover when Batman had arrived or when he had snuck into the circus tent!

Barbara Gordon hadn't discovered him either, but she knew Batman would definitely come, which was why she had the Suicide Squad waiting!

Likewise, the Joker inside the tent knew Batman would come, so when Batman threw James Gordon out of the tent, he had triggered the prepared bomb without hesitation!

The Joker's decisiveness caught Batman off guard; there was no small talk, no exchange, not at all like his usual style.

Most importantly, when Batman turned to jump out, he noticed that the Joker's eyes weren't chaotic and insane as they usually were, but instead held a sense of extreme calmness!

Batman and Black Knight Batman met up at the Batwing not far away. Black Knight Batman told Batman that this matter might be related to Su Quan; he had recognized that the Batcycle Harley Quinn was riding was the one of his that had been snatched by Su Quan.

"I understand. I'll leave Commissioner Gordon to you." Batman handed James Gordon over to Black Knight Batman and turned back toward the abandoned amusement park.

But when he returned, he found that everyone was gone!

Whether it was Harley Quinn or Amanda Waller's people, they were all gone!

It had been no more than a few minutes; had they really evacuated that quickly? And there didn't seem to be any traces of fighting or combat at the scene, which left Batman very puzzled.

After checking the scene again and finding nothing, Batman turned and left.

Barbara Gordon and Amanda Waller at the hospital were equally puzzled!

The Suicide Squad's communications had suddenly cut out. Whether it was the communication channels or the remote bomb chip buttons, everything had failed, with no response whatsoever...

The satellite footage hadn't discovered any useful clues either; the only useful image was that everyone at the explosion site had suddenly disappeared in an instant.

As for how they disappeared?

Where did they go?

Only three words could answer that: Unknown!

Where did they go?

They hadn't gone anywhere; they were still right where they were. Even when Batman had returned just now, they had been there the whole time, and they had seen every move Batman made clearly.

But—Batman couldn't see them!

"This, what on earth is going on? Why are we clearly here, yet Batman seems unable to see us, and we can't touch him?"

Captain Boomerang said his guess in a trembling voice: "We—could we already be dead?"

Black Spider shook his head and said: "Impossible. I don't feel anything abnormal with my body. Oh, except for that hit earlier, it still hurts."

"I support Black Spider's statement; we aren't dead! If we were dead and had become ghosts or spirits, where are our bodies? There are no bodies here, and Batman didn't find our bodies either."

Killer Frost's logical analysis made everyone subconsciously nod in agreement.

She turned her head to look at Poison Ivy. In the squad, only she and Poison Ivy could be considered to have special abilities, and Poison Ivy's ability to control plants could be more useful in this situation.

Poison Ivy understood what she meant and shook her head: "I've already tried. There are no plants here. I suspect that for some reason, we are in a kind of overlapping space that is similar yet not!"

"We are here, and yet we are not here!"

Copperhead frowned: "What does that mean?"

"It means that we and Batman are in different spaces in the same location. We can see him but can't touch him, and he can't see us or hear our voices, but we are in the same place!"

As Poison Ivy's voice fell, the sound of soft clapping rang out abruptly.

Everyone subconsciously looked left and right, then suddenly realized something and, with a feeling in their hearts, looked up at the sky.

In mid-air, a person was sitting cross-legged in a strange manner, smiling as he clapped his hands lightly.
