Chapter 2130: Battle of the Two Cities! (Part 8)

"Tell me where he is, Mr. Parker." Gordon's voice was cold, unlike before. Anyone could see his madness at this moment.

Peter also understood that human lives were at stake now. Gordon was probably the rare kind of just detective who could fight Kingpin in the chaos. He needed Gordon to remain rational.

But where was this girl named Barbara? Peter didn't know either. He didn't even know which of Kingpin's safe houses he was in now. This guy was cunning, with hundreds of hiding places in New York. Now that the two cities had merged, it was even harder to find him.

Peter was anxious, but at this time, the phone he had temporarily hung up rang. Clearly, after his consciousness returned to the real world, time was flowing.

"What's wrong with you? Is the signal bad on your end?" Constantine's hoarse voice appeared in Peter's ear.

Peter had to pull his consciousness away again, turn into a Fog Visitor, and come to Constantine's opposite side. Suddenly, he remembered his deal with Constantine, so he had an idea.

"Next question." Constantine said: "Which university did Nyarlathotep graduate from? I hope to add specific college information. Of course, your question can also add corresponding specific information."

Peter immediately had a grasp, so he answered.

"All Souls College, Oxford University. He is one of the seven honorary fellows."

Constantine gasped.

"It's my turn to ask you a question." Peter took a deep breath and asked: "Where is Barbara Gordon, the daughter of Cat Getan Police Sheriff James Gordon, now? I want the specific location."

Constantine was slightly startled. He immediately reacted and said: "You have other believers? Does he need help?"

Peter didn't answer. He was indeed not good at these twists and turns, afraid of being trapped in his words, so he chose silence.

"You wait a moment." Constantine immediately knelt down halfway.

In Peter's shocked gaze, he slashed his palm, drew a rune on the ground with the remaining blood, and then used the fingertip of his other hand to wipe the end of the rune, drawing more small patterns.

After the whole magic circle was drawn, the Constantine in front burned up, and finally gradually transformed into a paper man burned to ashes. Peter only heard the last sentence, "Follow me."

Peter took a step forward and found that he had entered another world. In an instant, everything around him was retreating, light and shadow rotating, bizarre and strange.

"You can enter the Spirit World?!" Constantine, who was traveling in front, seemed to be shocked again. He walked forward while looking back at the Fog Visitor flying forward with him: "You have a soul. Were you human before you died? This is also not right..."

Peter was immersed in the wonderful experience of traveling through the Spirit World and didn't pay attention to Constantine's exploration.

Soon Constantine stopped his steps. He raised his hand, and the space fell rapidly. Before Peter could react, the two fell into a room together.

They were standing on the ceiling at this time, and everything around them was still a broken and strange scene, but they could see a red-haired girl tied to a chair.

Peter wanted to rush over, but Constantine reached out and stopped him. He said: "Don't move around, rookie. This is the Spirit World. It can't interfere with the real world, and if we rush out rashly, we will only have guns pointed at our foreheads."

Sure enough, the next second, a strong figure Peter was extremely familiar with walked in from the door. The red-haired girl stared at him fiercely and said: "What exactly do you want to do? Don't even think about using me to threaten my father."

"No one wants to threaten anyone." Kingpin's fat face showed a smile. He said: "I never do stupid things like kidnapping and threatening, because as long as people can still see hope, they always hold unrealistic fantasies."

"Only bloodshed and death can make them recognize reality, make them understand that disobeying me has no good end. Miss, I'm afraid you'll have to endure it. This will hurt."

Kingpin stepped aside, and a person wearing a blue-black tight suit and a yellow hood walked out.

Peter's pupils shrank and he called out his name, "Hobgoblin!"

Constantine narrowed his eyes and said: "Is this his code name? But he is neither a demon nor a ghost, and there is no occult power on him."

"He is not Hobgoblin." Peter shook his head and said: "This is just his nickname. His power comes from the equipment on his body."

"That's easy to handle." Constantine snapped his fingers and said: "I'll help you solve the two of them. What reward do you plan to pay me?"

"What do you want?"

"Help me find some trouble for Dr. Nyarlathotep." Constantine showed a cold smile and said: "He is investigating things he shouldn't investigate. Believe me, you are saving him."

"I don't kill people." Peter indicated as such.

"No need to kill him." Constantine flicked the cigarette ash, sighed lightly, and said: "He is still useful. Help me hold him back for a while."

Seeing Hobgoblin walking closer and closer to Barbara, Peter had to say: "Subdue the two of them, but don't kill them. Rescue that girl and wait for her father to come over. The deal is done."

The next second, Constantine took a step forward and stood straight in front of Kingpin and Hobgoblin.

For the figure that suddenly appeared, both were startled, but their reactions were different. Hobgoblin jumped backward flexibly, but Kingpin threw a punch.

The sound of breaking through the air with the wind of the punch sounded in front of Constantine. Flames rose with a "whoosh," and Constantine, who had retracted the hand that snapped his fingers, was already standing behind Kingpin.

A muddy black shadow crawled out of the mud, roaring and rushing toward the two in the room. Constantine walked out of the shadow in the corner again, shook his head, and said: "So I don't like using magic here. Who knows what kind of ghost thing will be summoned."

The black shadow that crawled out of the mud under Constantine's feet grew larger and larger, until it expanded to fill the entire room, huge claws dripping with unknown black liquid constantly waving, forcing Kingpin and Hobgoblin to retreat repeatedly.

Kingpin's proud body technique couldn't be used because this thing wasn't a physical entity at all. It could hit Kingpin and Hobgoblin, but after Kingpin and Hobgoblin hit it, they only felt a void.

Kingpin and Hobgoblin retreated to the door and found that they really couldn't deal with this strange monster, so they turned and ran. The armed thugs rushed in, wanting to use hot weapons to solve the monster, but it was equally ineffective.

Taking advantage of this time, Constantine untied Barbara from the chair. He found that Barbara was pale with pain. Just as he reached out to help, Barbara let out a muffled groan.

Constantine followed Barbara's movement and saw that there was a large area of blood on her waist. Just as his hand touched the wound, he looked up at Barbara and said: "... You were shot?"

Peter withdrew his consciousness because he had already seen the scene outside the window through the Spirit World vision and confirmed the location of Kingpin's safe house.

"Sheriff Gordon, I know where Kingpin is, turn right ahead!" Peter shouted.

Gordon slammed the steering wheel, the car made a sharp turn, and drove toward the fork on the right.

The streetscape retreated constantly, and the architectural style was also changing. Soon the density of buildings became higher and higher. Peter found that they had arrived in Brooklyn, and Gordon called this the edge of the Lower City.

Peter quickly pointed out one of the buildings. Gordon parked the car in front of the door, rushed in with Bullock, and Peter followed closely behind.

Although he was worried about exposing himself in front of Constantine, he couldn't care about that much now. He saw Barbara's state was not good and had to get treatment as soon as possible.

But when they rushed into that room, they found that there was no sign of Barbara at all, leaving only a pool of black stains, a few footprints, and a messy scene.

Gordon's gaze immediately captured an important clue. He rushed to the overturned chair next to him, picked up a hair from the back of the chair, turned that hair against the light, and found that it was a short red hair, Barbara's hair.

Peter was also stunned. He clearly told Constantine to stay here until the girl's father arrived, but he didn't follow the agreement at all. He took Barbara Gordon away, which might make the situation further deteriorate.

But at this time, Bullock stepped forward, wrapped his arms around Gordon's shoulders and said: "Calm down, James. This shows that Barbara is definitely still alive, otherwise they wouldn't need to transfer her. They could have just thrown the corpse here; that would be the best warning to us."

"The other party didn't do that, which means either an accident happened, or they were afraid. Maybe it was precisely because the Cat Getan Mayor found them some trouble that they had to transfer in a hurry."

Saying this, Gordon, who was about to collapse, reacted. Although this new partner of his was smiling and joking, he was worthy of being a star detective; his reaction was indeed fast.

Peter also walked in and comforted: "If a murder happened here, there would definitely be a very strong smell of blood. They transferred in a hurry and couldn't have had time to clean up the scene. An accident must have happened."

Gordon stood up in a hurry, his gaze locked on Peter's face. He walked to Peter, pressed one hand on his shoulder and said: "I know you are that kind of good kid, Peter. You are very similar to my daughter. You have to help me find her."

"Rest assured, Sheriff, I will." Peter started to take his phone out of his pocket and then said: "I have a friend who knows Kingpin better and has brought Kingpin to justice several times. I will help you contact him now."

"Hello? Daredevil? It's me, I... What?! Okay, I'm coming right over!!!"

Peter put away his phone, immediately looked at Gordon full of anxiety and said: "Sheriff, hurry and help me find a car. I have to go to the east side of Brooklyn. A friend of mine is injured..."

"I'll take you." Bullock immediately patted Peter on the back, and at the same time turned back to Gordon and said: "Call for support, James. Now is not the time to dwell on this. Immediately launch a city-wide search. This is the most efficient way."

Gordon took a deep breath, supporting the door frame with no strength all over, but still tremblingly took out his phone.

He didn't call the police station, but called Penguin, because now only the Mayor had the ability to launch a city-wide search. For the sake of his daughter, he could only bow his head to this damn gang boss again.

When would days like this ever end?

Gordon felt despair for the first time. He walked out with heavy steps, walked slowly downstairs, moved out of the door, and squinted his eyes because of the dazzling sunlight.

And in the blurry and swaying field of vision, a figure walked toward him. As he walked closer, Gordon saw clearly that it was a black man, with a pitch-black eye patch covering one eye.

"Director of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, Nick Fury. Very happy to meet you, Sheriff Gordon." ===== CHAPTER 2131 =====
