Bro, I thought you had a thing for me. Hehe.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke was amused by Scott’s dumb smile, but he wasn’t angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the last few years, the Internet had expanded, and information on various minority groups had gradually spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were a lot of people who came out publicly, in order to support this issue, and they gave many others the courage to express their true orientation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Luke and Selina had been hit on by the same gender quite a bit when they went out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, the situation would start out similar to what Luke had done today. His attitude was a little too enthusiastic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, it wasn’t strange for Scott to misunderstand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Relax. I just had the feeling that you have the temperament of a superhero. Otherwise, most people would think that you’re cosplaying.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scott thought for a moment and was enlightened. “No wonder the people in the alley looked at me like that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke was helpless.I was the one who cleaned up after you. Otherwise, if you hadn’t shrunk down and run, a bunch of reporters would’ve surrounded you in half an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was New York, the most enthusiastic and friendly city in the world for superheroes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Supervillains? Sorry, the Bat Squad would teach all supervillains who caused trouble here a lesson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Local Internet celebrities in New York posted updates on the Bat Squad’s achievements: how many bad guys died, how many were partially or fully crippled, and so on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the numbers definitely weren’t accurate. Many bad guys didn’t even get the chance to show their faces before they were taken down quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, that meant that these records were of real cases that had been verified, and the chance of an error was very low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if a number of them might have been overlooked, according to these records, there had been up to 3,000 unlucky criminals in New York in 2011.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It sounded like a lot, but on average, that was less than ten people a day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the number was distributed equally among the dozen members of the Bat Squad and Ursa Minor, each of them would get less than one criminal each day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New York City’s ‘criminal resources’ were drying up day by day, and everybody could only safeguard the nearby city of New Jersey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Parts of the states of New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island got the same treatment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the saying went, people died for wealth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The price of illegal drugs in New York had increased countless times. Even if operations were just one tenth of what they used to be, they still made a lot of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gangs who were unwilling to abandon New York, this super big market, simply scattered and hid in the surrounding areas to fight the Bat Squad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke knew very well that there was no end to criminals, so after controlling the amount, the daily cleanup was basically left to Mindy’s Ursa Minor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, there was the sound of knocking not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both of them turned around at the same time, only to see a figure cancel stealth mode to reveal a dark gray suit of armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke didn’t say anything. Scott was so scared that he clutched his chest and bent over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t surprising that he had such a strong reaction. It was just that Luke had mentioned a lot about how the Dark Knight had ‘inherited’ Batman’s style of doing things – breaking bones if not crippling criminals altogether.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A good guy like Scott felt very uncomfortable when he heard that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that the Dark Knight was suddenly standing next to him, he was lucky that he wasn’t scared out of his wits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knight looked at Luke with his bluish-white eyes. “Sorry, I have something to discuss with him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scott immediately got up. “Okay, I’ll be on my way.” He stepped to the side and was about to squeeze past Knight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, he felt a weight on his shoulder. He turned his head and lowered his eyes to see a black palm pressing down on his shoulder. Knight’s deep voice rang out. “We haven’t talked yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scott was about to cry. He raised his hand to press the button on the side of his helmet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt that it was best not to interact too much with Knight, who looked very grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>D*mn it! Could the person who inherited Batman’s will be a normal person? He had to be a lunatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Scott felt that he couldn’t move his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black hand on his shoulder let go to easily grab his hand before he could press the button.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scott immediately tried with his other hand – he had used this move many times before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end… his hands were pressed together, as if he were begging for mercy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke stood up with a smile. “Knight, Scott is a nice guy. Don’t tease him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stumped for a moment, Scott suddenly thought of something and looked back and forth between them. “Are you… on the same side?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke shook his head with a smile and patted his shoulder. “Batman and I happened to run into the same group of criminals before.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scott still felt like he had been tricked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he didn’t give up. “Wait, what if he’s a bad guy in disguise? He’s wearing a mask.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luke didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He patted this buffoon’s shoulder again and said, “Trust me: Whoever dares pretend to be the Dark Knight in New York will definitely be sent to the ICU tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pausing for a moment, he continued, “Don’t worry, Knight never attacks good people.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he nodded at the Level 2 clone dressed as Knight, and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scott watched him leave in a daze, and suddenly felt that the cafe was quiet. There were no customers talking or waiters moving around; it was like a scene out of a horror flick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recalled that he hadn’t heard any noise in the shop since a moment ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face was a little pale. “Did you kill everyone here?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knight chuckled and opened the storage slot at Scott’s waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking out the Pym Particle, he let go of Scott’s hands. “Don’t worry, it’s just a little sedative. They’ll wake up after we’re done talking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scott pulled a long face. “Um, can you give that back to me first? That’s a souvenir from my girlfriend.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knight sat down and played with the tube that contained the red Pym Particle. “Oh, really? This is very similar to Dr. Pym’s product.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he flipped his hand, and another tube containing the red Pym Particle appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two Pym Particles bounced around in his palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difference was that Scott’s tube was half-empty, while Knight had just taken out a full tube.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scott’s eyes widened. “This, this, this is impossible. How can Dr. Pym hand over the Pym Particle?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knight didn’t think much of it. “A product naturally has to be sold. Do you want it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scott subconsciously nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knight paused, then placed the two tubes of Pym Particles on the table. “Then, let’s have a good chat. After that, they’re yours.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scott’s heart jumped. Wait, the reason he didn’t dare go straight back was because he didn’t have the Pym Particle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could contact Dr. Pym through the Dark Knight, he might be able to obtain enough Pym Particles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, whether or not this time travel error affected the plan, everyone could still travel through the Quantum Realm again and again to collect the six Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>",1278,"2026-06-06T03:36:42.271Z",1,"novelbin.me","c3b4c7f5b5a6b120c96aee6c31192ab8f09d658b402eb288f1f612c4d31a9b1a","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-1990","super-detective-in-the-fictional-world-chapter-1988",2233,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-detective-in-the-fictional-world-cover.jpg"]
