Chapter 2331: Cat Getan Music Festival (79)
Gordon turned off the TV and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the Mayor reacted quickly and packaged this accidental accident as a specially arranged performance. Otherwise, this major explosion alone would have been enough to scare away the vast majority of tourists.
"The FBI won't give up so easily," Bruce sighed and said. "I have to go back and prepare."
After speaking, he walked out of the police station, while Schiller stayed in the police station, looked at Gordon and said, "Can you know where the Batman who appeared at that time came from?"
"Wei En Hotel, all visitors from other worlds live there. Do you have something to do with him?"
"Bruce intends to send his children to the universe where this Batman is. I intend to send Barry to that universe together."
"Why not let him return to his parents' side?"
"He said he wanted to go to another universe to play, mainly to avoid Harley. Harley always asked him to run errands to buy things, and he was annoyed to death."
"Harley isn't going?"
"She isn't going, she is busy with her magic career."
Gordon nodded, and then said, "How is her magic learning?"
"Not bad, the Sorcerer Supreme said she is very talented."
"That's good," Gordon sent Schiller out and said, "Always learn a craft, and you can support yourself in the future."
Gordon's understanding of Harley obviously still stayed at the time when Harley was a Cat Getan orphan with no one to rely on. Schiller said, "Obviously, she can do more than just support herself."
The moment the two walked out of the main entrance of the Cat Getan Police Department hall, they saw a fire light up somewhere on the skyline.
Gordon stared dumbfoundedly at the mushroom cloud on the skyline. He distinguished the direction and said, "That's Black Island, right? What happened?"
After being stunned, Gordon immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Assemble, assemble quickly, prepare to go out on duty, something happened on Black Island!"
Gordon walked toward the police car and didn't ask Schiller's opinion, directly opened the car door for him. Schiller looked into the distance and saw a familiar figure above the sea, so he sat into the car.
Black Island was not very far from here. After turning through a few streets and getting on the bridge, driving all the way to the end, he arrived on the island. The island was already in complete chaos.
In the central street area of the island, the most prosperous bar street broke out into a chaotic battle. Gunshots and artillery fire sounded together, and there were many unknown flashes and invisible shock waves, which blew the doors and signs of the bars far away.
For safety reasons, Gordon didn't drive the car in, but stopped on another street. When he and Schiller walked over, a flame flew past between the two of them.
Schiller instantly turned into a cloud of mist and scooped up Gordon. The two reappeared on the roof of one of the nearest buildings.
Gordon rushed to the edge of the roof and looked down, cursing, "Damn it, what is going on? Who is fighting who?"
"One side is magicians," Schiller looked at the burning traces on the ground and said, "What attacked us just now was magic fire."
"Why would magicians attack here?" Gordon was very puzzled.
Schiller's gaze kept scanning between these few straight streets, and finally saw a small figure at the end of another street. It was Harley.
Schiller now knew what her big plan was. Harley used these killers and mercenaries on Black Island as bait and brought magicians to the island.
It was conceivable that the magicians who discovered that the demons had formulated new rules couldn't wait to try. If someone deliberately guided them at this time, they would realize one thing: finding sinners wasn't simple, come to Cat Getan.
In the occult world, Cat Getan could be called famous. This place had always been an unsolved mystery on the magic side. The main problem that couldn't be solved was why Cat Getan was so rotten.
But now don't worry about why it was so rotten. In short, since it was still rotten, the rotten people here could naturally become sacrifices that demons liked, and could also reach a deal.
However, magicians were not people who didn't surf the internet. From the information of the music festival recently, they could see that Cat Getan was probably slowly moving toward a good direction. Then if they didn't go now, Cat Getan really wouldn't be rotten in two days, where could they find so many sinners' souls?
So magicians started rushing to Cat Getan without stopping. But the most deadly thing was that it was the music festival now. Tourists had booked all the big hotels months ago, and even the prices of those remote homestays had risen to an unimaginable degree.
Magicians searched around, and finally found a hotel with vacant rooms. This hotel had a separate booking page, which looked quite formal, but it was specifically marked that the hotel was on a small island far from Cat Getan city.
Magicians thought, far is far, they couldn't go to sleep on the street, and being far had benefits. After all, they were doing the work of killing and looting, and sometimes they still needed to avoid police pursuit, so living in the downtown area was easy to be discovered.
Just like this, magicians rushed to Cat Getan at the fastest speed. Their fastest speed was different from ordinary people. No need to catch a plane, no need to wait for a pickup, one teleportation could arrive, so basically they decided in the morning and arrived in the evening.
But they were dumbfounded after arriving. The location where they booked the hotel indeed had a hotel, but it was completely different from what was shown on the booking page.
This hotel was located on a street behind the bar area in the central commercial district of this small island. According to the hotel's front desk staff, they never received individual guests here, always only received regular guests with membership status, and they didn't have an official website at all.
Magicians were not to be trifled with either. They felt they had encountered a yin-yang contract, that is, clearly not providing accommodation, but setting up a fake page to cheat them of their money.
You know, the booking fee of this hotel's official website was not cheap, it was only a little lower than other hotels that were booked out, but it was still a sky-high price. The magicians here paid at least a few thousand USD.
And as more and more magicians rushed over, they finally realized that this was completely a scam aimed at them. But under this situation, it was unrealistic to investigate who built the fake webpage. They could only find trouble with the hotel.
The hotel was not to be trifled with either. Daring to open a hotel on Black Island, either had money or was involved in black, no matter which one, it was impossible to tolerate so many strange-looking people blocking their shop door and shouting.
Security personnel rushed out immediately, but their original intention was just to drive the magicians away. But as everyone knew, because of engaging in black magic all year round, the brains of magicians were somewhat abnormal.
The vampire invasion incident before and Schiller's last supper almost wiped them out. Now the vast majority of magicians hadn't recovered, like birds of prey, looking at everything as if they were suspicious, and for a time, people were panicked.
The security guard's pushing action was a bit big, and one of the magicians got anxious on the spot, and fired a fireball at the security guard's face.
Cat Getan people didn't care where you conjured the shells from. Anyway, they saw the shell attack with their own eyes. Everyone immediately roared and lay down, then took out weapons and started to counterattack.
It could be considered that the magicians came here. Most people here, when encountering thermal weapon attacks, although the first reaction was to dodge, after ensuring their own safety, they would counterattack with the most powerful posture.
The front desk took out a shotgun from under the counter, and with a bang, it was a shot. The bullet directly shattered a poor guy who was too close and had no time to set up a shield into pieces. For a time, flesh and blood flew, and a big battle broke out just like that.
The hotel lobby was not enough for them to display, especially not enough for magicians to release magic, so they withdrew, and started fighting on the street. But this was too close to the bar street. Although there were not many people in the bar in the morning, there was no good stubble among those who could stay on this island. Seeing fireballs, artillery shells, and bullets, most people had to take out weapons to counterattack.
Then it was the scene Schiller and Gordon saw. A group of people had a firefight on the street of Black Island, fighting until the sky was dark and the earth was dark.
And the initiator of all this, Harley, was hiding two streets away, preparing to rush up to make up the knife and pick up the head. She was poking her head and looking at the place where they were fighting, when she was grabbed by the back collar and pulled back.
Harley turned her head and saw that it was Schiller. She sighed and said, "I thought Batman had hit over, fortunately it's you."
Seeing Schiller giving her a fierce eye signal, Harley understood, and then said, "Alright, Professor, it was indeed me who did it, but you also have to understand, I am also for the good of our Cat Getan."
Schiller hadn't said anything yet, Gordon narrowed his eyes first. Harley cleared her throat and said, "Listen to my explanation. Look, Cat Getan is getting better and better, right?"
"Our significant difference from the past is that we have the ability to establish an order under our control. This is indeed very good, but it doesn't mean that the chaos in the past has no value."
"At least our chaotic, deeply sinful reputation in the past fooled this group of magicians. Of course, there are also mercenaries and killers. In a sense, tourists are also here for this reputation."
"Taking advantage of the fact that this reputation is still within the validity period, we can completely use the order we once built to harvest this group of people who came here for the name."
"Everyone thinks, anyway, I only come here once in my life, it's expensive, or although the air tickets and hotels are very expensive, I came here after all and gained something. Magicians are for the souls of sinners, mercenaries and killers are for information. This will give them a compensation psychology and be more willing to spend money."
"If you go and ask how much Wei En earned by relying on this island, you will understand that what I said is reasonable. This operation mode can add another happy report to our year-end settlement."
"And what you need to do, Sheriff Gordon, is to spend more of your precious time caring about the bottom-level people in the slums, and as for what happened to these rotten people, just pretend you didn't see it."
"Must find a way to get her to our universe," Schiller said in his heart. "I think she is the best successor to Arkham Asylum."
"But you said before that the best successor is Peter." The Gray Fog said.
"Peter still has too much conscience."
"Fickle."
Schiller looked at Gordon's expression and knew that he was obviously moved. This sheriff was Cat Getan's last conscience, but the point was not conscience, but the last one. When things hadn't reached the last moment, Gordon was still relatively flexible.
Mainly he thought it was also true. Mercenaries and magicians were fighting. As long as it didn't endanger ordinary people, what did it have to do with him? Even if he arranged for the police to enter the field now, both sides would dislike him for meddling in other people's business.
Gordon cleared his throat and said, "What did you just call me?"
"Uh... Sheriff Gordon."
"I am not a sheriff now. I am here in a private capacity, mainly because... they are fighting too loudly and disturbed our respected Professor." ===== CHAPTER 2332 =====
