Chapter 108 Harvest
Upon hearing Li Wei's words, He Mang and Gao Le both glared at him fiercely.
When Li Wei said these things, he made no attempt to hide them from the two men, who at that moment could be described as hating Li Wei to the core.
"If you keep staring at me like that, I'll let you taste what it's like to be a big man!"
Although he didn't really care, Li Wei was still a little annoyed by being stared at like that.
Batman is not someone to mess with, but is Levi someone to mess with?
"I just heard that there's a group of big black guys in Gotham who really like young men with soft, delicate skin."
If you keep looking at me like that, believe me, I'll have them treat you right now.
Trust me, you'll never forget that feeling!
After hearing Li Wei's words, He Mang and Gao Le's struggles gradually weakened, and their eyes were filled with fear.
The experience was so realistic; they wouldn't even dare to imagine being entertained by a group of burly black men.
They leaned against the pillar, their previous madness and ruthlessness gone, replaced by endless panic.
Li Wei looked at them, then turned and stood side by side with Batman.
Looking towards Gotham, the city's silhouette was faintly visible in the moonlight under the night sky.
In the distance, the sound of urgent sirens gradually approached, and Li Wei knew that Gordon's men had arrived.
...
"Buddy, we've locked both of those guys up in Arkham, just like you suggested."
At the Gotham City Police Department, Gordon pushed open the door to Li Wei's office and told him about the handling of He Mang and Gao Le.
"We investigated their backgrounds during this period, and it's still the same as before."
Before this incident, they were nothing out of the ordinary; they were just ordinary citizens of Gotham.
It could be said that their transformation happened overnight, or rather, they suddenly became completely different people...
Gordon's hand, holding the coffee cup, trembled slightly as he spoke.
His investigation over this period revealed a pattern: these people inexplicably transformed into completely different people.
It was as if their bodies had suddenly been infused with another soul.
He really couldn't imagine what would happen if the souls of those two guys were suddenly injected into his body.
And then he himself, the real Gordon, would simply vanish from the world—how terrifying that would be.
Seeing Gordon's lingering fear, Li Wei knew perfectly well what he was worried about.
Li Wei had had this concern before, but after observing for a period of time, he had come to a conclusion.
By comparing He Mang's and Gao Le's identities after each rebirth, he has made a preliminary judgment on the rebirth mechanism.
Although he couldn't tell Gordon that he was a player, it was still necessary to tell Gordon his guess in a different way so that he wouldn't worry too much.
"Buddy, don't panic."
According to my calculations, even if these two behind-the-scenes guys can regenerate indefinitely, there is still a limit to the number of people they can control.
For example, they committed 43 crimes in the last two months.
Aside from being at a loss at the beginning, we were able to investigate after capturing these guys.
They are all ordinary citizens, so you and my friends don't need to worry.
After all, no matter what, you are the famous Chief Gordon.
Even if these guys go to great lengths, they probably won't be able to get their way with you.
Seeing Gordon's worried expression, Levi still spoke his mind.
For no other reason than to let Gordon relax a bit.
"Dude, are you serious? That's great!"
I'm worried... actually, you know I'm not worried about my own safety.
I'm just worried... I'm really worried that one day I'll wake up and find myself watching my body being controlled by someone else, and I can't do anything about it...
That feeling, just thinking about it sends chills down my spine...
Gordon felt a great sense of relief after hearing Levi's explanation.
Although he was still somewhat worried, Li Wei's words seemed to have some kind of convincing magic.
Li Wei's words convinced him to believe them immediately.
"Don't worry, buddy, you'll be fine. Take it easy and go back to your family."
Li Wei smiled at Gordon, signaling him to relax.
In fact, he was initially worried that these guys' frequent rebirths would lead them to be reborn into the bodies of some important figures, which would have a significant impact on the situation in Gotham.
But subsequent events proved his worries to be unfounded.
But thinking about it, it makes sense; perhaps this is one aspect of system balance.
By putting everyone on the same starting line, although they may not be exactly the same, everyone is relatively equal in the general direction.
After saying goodbye to Gordon, Levi drove to Hope House.
In the chaos of Gotham, only there, watching the innocent children, could he find a moment of peace.
...
As the golden morning sun rose, Li Wei woke up in his own bed.
He's been back at Hope Home for two days now. Yesterday he spent the whole day playing games with the children, and today it's time for him to go to work at the police station.
Looking at the rising sun on the horizon, a smile involuntarily appeared on Li Wei's lips.
Last night, he tallied up his gains over the past few weeks and was surprised to find that he had unexpectedly gained over 200 reputation points.
It has to be said that this was truly an unexpected surprise.
After all, when dealing with the problems caused by these players, he didn't even consider the potential gains.
As for reputation and the like, he completely forgot about them.
Upon opening the system interface, Li Wei couldn't help but admire his own attributes.
Li Wei Chen
[Reputation]: 2237
【Strength】: 8
[Agility]: 5
[Intelligence]: 6
[Physical Constitution]: 3
[Freedom Point]: 0
【Damage Immunity (Level 1)】: Active skill. Grants immunity to all incoming damage for 3 seconds after use. Cooldown: 24 hours.
【Hearing Enhancement (Level 1)】: Passive skill, slightly improves the player's hearing. With this skill, you no longer have to worry about someone whispering behind your back.
【Waist and Abdomen Strengthening (Level 1)】: Passive skill, slightly increases the player's waist and abdominal strength. — Dude, with this skill, you'll be an invincible little whirlwind from now on!
Li Wei glanced at his reputation with satisfaction, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't pleased.
After all, having over 2200 reputation points is probably unique in the entire game.
He had previously browsed through posts from beta testers when he had nothing to do, and the highest reputation he had seen was barely over 500 points.
Keep in mind that the beta testing phase lasted a full year!
Li Wei had only been in this game for a month at most.
The key point is that all the attributes gained in the dungeon world can be brought back to the real world, which is the most important point.
Regarding the attribute points gained, Li Wei's previous idea was to save some and add them temporarily when needed.
However, the drawback is also obvious: when there is a real need, he simply doesn't have time to analyze which attributes need to be added.
After careful consideration, Li Wei decided to combine strength and agility.
After all, in this damn Gotham, especially in the police department, if you don't have some skills, it probably would have been closed long ago.
With that thought in mind, Li Wei quickly drove his pickup truck to the police station entrance.
The officers were as busy as ever; after all, they were used to this kind of busy life in Gotham.
"Good morning, Mr. Li Wei!"
Good morning, Mr. Consultant!
...
Along the way, all the police officers Li Wei encountered greeted him with smiles.
Seeing Li Wei, they were all genuinely happy.
After all, in this damn place like Gotham, there's someone who can truly lead everyone in fighting crime.
A truly good boss is one who can protect everyone's interests.
No one would risk their life, especially someone in a high-risk profession like being a police officer.
"Hey buddy, you're finally here."
In his office, Gordon was frowning as he watched the security camera footage.
Seeing Li Wei push the door open and come in, his tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
In fact, Gordon did not quite agree with his partner's habit of taking a few days off after each major case.
After all, Levi's abilities are so outstanding that even a day of rest for him would be a loss for Gotham.
However, he also knew that if he didn't get enough rest after each period of intense mental exertion, it would likely have a significant impact on his subsequent work.
Therefore, Gordon always approved Li Wei's leave applications with a very conflicted mindset.
In fact, Gordon always had a sense of unreality whenever he was approving Li Wei's leave application.
If I had to describe that feeling, it would be as if Li Wei could leave this world at any moment...
Looking at the smiling Li Wei in front of him, Gordon shook his head to clear the strange thought from his mind and gave him a smile.
"You've come just in time; we've run into some tricky issues."
"Oh? What's happened these past few days?"
Seeing Gordon's relieved expression piqued Levi's curiosity.
During his few days of rest, he hadn't heard of any serious incidents in Gotham, and judging from Gordon's demeanor, he didn't seem to be in a great hurry.
"It's about the two masterminds we arrested. Actually, the problem started last night..."
As Gordon explained, Levi finally understood where the problem lay.
In fact, according to the arrangements made by Levi earlier, Gordon contacted Arkham Asylum.
At the same time, he used his authority to arrange separate wards for He Mang and Gao Le.
And through his manipulation, he raised the threat level of the two to the same level as the Joker and others.
In other words, apart from the guards regularly delivering meals to the two people throughout the entire mental hospital, no one else would have any contact with them.
Actually, the problem ends here, and everything is normal without any ripples.
But what happened next was completely unexpected by Gordon.
First, these two guys, after being imprisoned, refused to eat or drink, seemingly intending to gain a chance to return through a hunger strike.
Upon discovering this situation, Gordon immediately made arrangements.
They contacted Arkham staff directly and asked them to administer IV fluids to the two men.
After being forcibly injected with energy, the two of them, no matter how unwilling, were unable to restart through a hunger strike.
Just when Gordon thought the matter was over, he received a call from the police last night informing him that the situation had changed again.
He Mang and Gao Le were originally locked in the ward, but suddenly they started to stare blankly for no reason.
Their behavior quickly attracted the attention of the guards.
After all, in their minds, these two guys were already at the highest level of danger.
They both started spacing out for no apparent reason, which gave people a creepy feeling.
After listening to Gordon's explanation, Levi roughly understood what he was worried about.
"Don't worry, buddy, things might not be as bad as you think."
Li Weichong smiled at Gordon, indicating that he should put his mind at ease.
"As long as these two guys don't die, there's absolutely no need to worry about them spacing out or anything like that. We don't need to pay attention to that situation at all."
When Gordon told Levi that the two guys had inexplicably started spacing out, Levi knew without a doubt that they were using the game panel.
Players will inexplicably appear somewhat dazed when observing the panel.
Therefore, Li Wei always chose to use the panel late at night when it was quiet.
Only in situations like this can the risk of being discovered be minimized.
He hadn't expected that these two guys would open the control panel in full view of everyone while they were being arrested.
"Really? That's great, buddy."
Gordon felt relieved after hearing Levi's words. He lit a cigarette, took a puff, and his furrowed brows relaxed.
But as soon as he took a breath, the relaxed expression on his face suddenly turned serious.
"What's going on? How could this happen?"
Seeing Gordon's suddenly incredulous expression, Levi felt a sudden surge of tension.
He quickly walked over to Gordon and looked at the monitor in front of him.
This was a monitoring privilege that Gordon specifically requested in order to keep track of Arkham's situation at all times.
The surveillance footage was divided into two parts: the left side showed He Mang's ward, and the right side showed Gao Le's ward.
Although the surveillance footage showed their hospital rooms next to each other, Li Wei knew that in reality, the two were much farther apart.
In fact, Gordon's next words confirmed his guess.
"In order to reduce their harm and prevent them from having the opportunity to plot, Arkham placed them in two different areas."
The two zones span the entirety of Arkham, ensuring they have no possibility of communication with each other.
Gordon's words surprised Levi slightly. Who came up with such a brilliant idea?
"Dude, don't tell me you came up with this method yourself."
Li Wei looked at Gordon with disbelief, his tone full of mockery.
Gordon was taken aback by Li Wei's words, and then nodded hesitantly.
"This is something I specifically requested from Arkham Institution. Is there a problem?"
Gordon's dazed look almost made Levi vomit blood.
But then I thought about it again, Gordon isn't a player, so of course he wouldn't know anything about players.
If we consider it this way, it seems that this arrangement is not unreasonable.
"No problem, this arrangement is great, I think it's a genius idea."
Dude, you're a genius!
Li Wei sighed in admiration, noticing a hint of smugness on Gordon's face, and felt somewhat embarrassed to dampen his confidence.
"What happened next? Tell me."
Li Wei nodded to Gordon, signaling him to continue his introduction.
"Okay, buddy, here's what happened. I just found out."
They suddenly stopped spacing out and almost simultaneously started acting crazy in the hospital room.
He frantically banged his head against the wall, even until he was completely exhausted...
Gordon's words startled Levi, who then fell into confusion.
What are these two up to?
