Chapter 159 Just Call Me... Mine Fujiko

(By the way, do you prefer the mode of one chapter with 4,000 words or one chapter with 2,000 words)

Time goes back to the actions of Maggieson and Pamela.

After walking from Gotham High School to Fort Dios, the scattered thugs obviously decreased, but the patrols in groups increased a lot.

In a dim alley, two people and a dog stared at the manhole cover in front of them and looked at each other.

"Maggie..."

"Shh!"

As soon as Pamela opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Maggieson.

"Lupin, are we really going to go down from here?"

"Yes, we have no other choice."

Maggieson nodded.

The underground of Fort Dios is obviously either a sewer or a subway station.

The subway station is obvious, and the area is limited and very unsafe.

On the contrary, the sewers are connected in all directions and can be connected to any corner of Gotham. The route below is complicated, and there is no need to worry about being easily found.

If little James did not lie, then the person who leaked the information to the higher-ups must be hiding in the sewer.

"Then let's just go down."

Pamela shook her lips. She didn't like the dirty and humid environment of the sewer.

This reminded her of the days when she was living in the East District and was in fear every day.

Moreover, the environment of the sewer is not suitable for the growth of most plants. It is normal for Poison Ivy to feel repulsive.

But since Maggieson said that she had to go down, Pamela could only suppress her discomfort.

Pamela lifted the manhole cover and was about to jump down.

"Wait, don't be impatient!"

Maggieson quickly grabbed her arm.

Pamela turned her head in confusion.

"You are not suitable to meet outsiders in this state now."

Maggieson said seriously.

"Although your skin color will turn green and your face will change slightly when you use your ability, it is still very easy to distinguish your original appearance."

"Before, you could kill the thugs who saw you, but now you have no reason to kill the people we are going to meet, which means that your identity will be exposed."

"In this way, you will not be able to live a normal life in the future."

Hearing this, Pamela suddenly realized that she was too reckless and did not realize such a simple problem.

"Then I will find a mask to cover my face first."

Pamela remembered that she passed by a mask store when she came here, so she just went there and took one.

"Have you forgotten what I am best at?"

McGilson laughed dumbly. Pamela really lost most of her judgment when she was anxious.

This is probably not going to be an environmental protection guard.

Pamela looked at Maggieson with a silly look on her face, not knowing what he meant.

"Come on, Pamela, come closer."

McGilson extended his hand to Pamela and invited her.

"Ah? What! This..."

Happiness came so suddenly that Pamela's cheeks suddenly had two more red spots.

"Come here!"

Seeing Pamela start to be crazy again, Maggieson wondered if he was wrong again.

Maggieson pulled Pamela over and threw her into his arms under the influence of inertia.

Although it is still debatable whether it was because of inertia...

However, Maggieson was calm and put his hands on Pamela's shoulders, and then turned gently.

In the blink of an eye, Pamela's clothes disappeared and she was replaced with a new set of clothes.

A set of black tight leather clothes.

Not only that, even her face changed into another look.

Only the long red hair remained the same.

At this time, Pamela remembered that Kaito Kidd could not only disguise himself, but also help others disguise themselves.

"From now on, your name is... Fujiko Mine."

After the disguise was completed, the two people and the dog entered the sewer through the open manhole cover.

Gotham City's sewers have a history of nearly a century, and the smell of rotten water pipes and sewage is extremely pungent.

It is hard to imagine how the homeless people living here survive.

The sewers are very large, with a passage of five meters high and seven meters wide. The waterway in the middle is four meters wide, and a 1.5-meter-wide aisle is reserved on both sides.

These aisles are used for maintenance personnel to pass through.

There are no special aisles in the sewers of ordinary cities, except in some special areas.

Gotham was originally the same.

However, with the sponsorship of Wayne Enterprises, Gotham's sewers have undergone a major change.

Maggieson and others can walk through the aisle without wading in sewage, thanks to Wayne.

Two hours later...

"Lupin, how long will we have to search down here?"

Pamela, now Fujiko Mine, asked Maggieson while enduring the stench of the sewer.

They have been searching in the sewer for a long time.

However, they didn't see even half a person.

"Ah, Fujiko, as the saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Maybe it's not that we haven't found them, but that they have already found us. Maybe they don't want to be found before they confirm that we are trustworthy."

Maggieson said mysteriously.

"Are you saying that there are surveillance devices here and our actions have been exposed long ago?"

Pamela was shocked and raised her head to look around.

"Impossible, the electromagnetic signals in the sewer will be seriously interfered with, and most electronic devices cannot be used here."

"The reason why I think we have been discovered is because it's too quiet."

Maggieson waved his hand.

"Too quiet?"

Pamela asked with her head tilted.

Charlie also barked as if to agree.

"That's right. Gotham's sewers have always been a habitat for homeless people. Even if the situation in Diosburg is not as serious as that in the East District, there are definitely a lot of homeless people."

"But we have been here for so long and haven't encountered even one homeless person. Isn't that strange?"

"It's impossible that Bane would specifically clear out all the homeless people in the sewers. That doesn't make sense."

"The only possibility is that another group of people cleared out this place."

McGilson suddenly turned around and looked at the corner 20 meters behind him, revealing a hint of a smile.

"Am I right, Officer Blake?"

"There's someone over there!"

Pamela's eyes flashed, and she immediately took a defensive posture.

"Who are you? Bane, Penguin, or Black Mask's men?"

A young policeman in a GCPD uniform came out from the corner, holding a pistol in his hand, aiming at Maggieson and others.

It was a familiar face that he hadn't seen for a long time, GCPD trainee police officer John Blake.

It was them, and Maggieson knew it. When James talked about the underground, he guessed that these people should be the survivors of the GCPD.

"Neither, we are from the Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency. You can call me Lupin, and this is Fujiko Mine."

Maggieson calmly took out a certificate from his pocket and gestured to Blake.

Pamela also took out her certificate when she saw this.

"I have never heard of this department."

Blake was unmoved. The name of SHIELD didn't seem to work.

"We are a secret department directly under the command of the World Security Council. It's normal that you haven't heard of it. Take us to see Jim Gordon, and everything will be clear."

Maggieson suggested.
