Chapter 611: I, Joker (9) (Part 2)
[Can be taken out of scenario]
[Background: This 1922 Gotham City commemorative coin is a ten-point rare "Error Coin", featuring heads on both sides. One side has been corroded by acid, leaving a twisted, grotesque visage. Just like... its owner.]
The Monster Kingdom Coin had appeared in Xiao Tan's satchel the moment he entered this scenario. At the time, he didn't know what practical use it had. After reuniting with Feng Bu Jue, they'd shared intelligence, so Feng Bu Jue now half-jokingly told Xiao Tan to play with the coin.
...
"In any case, I accept your cooperation proposal", Qiao Yi quickly added. "After all, our so-called Resistance Organization is down to just two people now. No reason to refuse."
Maya, standing beside Qiao Yi, reminded him, "Actually, Qiao Yi... we probably can't return to the Sewer Base anymore."
Qiao Yi sighed. "Yeah... Dal must've already given The_Bruce our base coordinates. He's probably waiting for the perfect moment to wipe us out in one strike." He clenched his fist angrily. "Damn... I have to admit, The_Bruce is terrifying."
"Don't sell yourself short", Feng Bu Jue laughed. "I believe you can match him in both physical stamina and Intelligence. You're just lacking experience and willpower."
"Heh... thanks. Hope you're right", Qiao Yi replied calmly, unswayed by the praise.
Maya then asked, "Mr. Joker, may I ask... are you the leader of your team?"
Feng Bu Jue didn't answer immediately. Instead, he glanced at Ruo Yu.
"Why are you looking at me?" Ruo Yu glared back.
"Fine, fine... won't look", Feng Bu Jue chuckled, turning back to face them. "Yes, I'm the one calling the shots here."
"Then could you share your specific plans with us?" Maya pressed.
Qiao Yi added, "I'm curious too..." He paused, glancing sideways. "What's the point of modifying a searchlight abandoned for nearly a century?"
"Oh, that?" Feng Bu Jue grinned. "That's the first step of my grand plan..."
"Commander", Xiao Ling interjected from her rooftop sentry post, "characters who say lines like that are 95% likely to be antagonists who fail spectacularly in the end."
"Shut up... this isn't a kids' cartoon", Feng Bu Jue squinted at her.
"Exactly because it's not, you sound even dumber saying that", Ruo Yu added.
