Chapter 22: Magnetic arrows and Gotham University
The two groups of people on the ground didn't know why she was so well-known. Everyone looked at the arrows stuck in the road. No matter where they were, they couldn't help but secretly wonder: are her archery skills really that bad?
Thea ignored everyone's stares. Anyway, I was wearing protective goggles, and my face was well covered. You don't know who I am. Under the confused gazes of both the police and the criminals, I pressed a button on the bow's body.
"Buzz-"
A low whistle sounded, which even Thea in the sky felt a bit harsh. Not to mention the few people below, some covered their heads, others shook them violently, and one who was bleeding heavily was already showing signs of dizziness.
"Whoosh, whoosh" emitted several sharp sounds, and I saw that the firearms in the hands of both the police and the villains were all drawn towards the arrows by the enormous magnetic force of the magnetic arrows. Some slow-reacting people were still looking down at their guns and wondering about them? Although Commissioner Gordon was a bit older, he reacted very quickly. He immediately looked at the mysterious man in the sky and wondered what his intentions were. He originally thought he was an ally by his side, but seeing this method of not distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy, he became suspicious.
Thea doesn't have time to think about the thoughts of the people below. Anyway, you don't have weapons. You can't hit my knees when you jump. I'm afraid of a ball. It's important to do business first.
"Felicity, our magnetic arrows seem to be a bit more powerful..."
"I saw it, it's really a bit bigger... The radius of the original design was twenty meters, but now it's fifty meters. It should be that many neodymium magnets were added, and the violent collision intensified the neodymium particles' rotation... can we properly reduce it by 25% next time?"
"It should be reduced a little more. The magnetic waves emitted by the arrows are too large. We designed them to absorb special metals in the barrel. Now those with strong effects can be used as sonic weapons."
"Okay, okay... let's try half the amount next time..."
Just as Thea was about to say something else, "Hey, hey," he realized that Commissioner Gordon was yelling at him with his neck pulled down and quickly interrupted the weapon seminar with Felicity.
"What's the problem?" Someone looked with big innocent eyes, staring at the old director with a serious face and wrinkles on his forehead that could kill a fly.
What are you talking about? The old director looked at her with a nose that was neither nose nor face, and pointed to the enemies on the other side. There were two villains gritting their teeth and scratching the arrows for a long time without taking out the guns. How cool, the magnetic field is still acting, can your arms and legs compete with the magnetic field? If you had so much energy, you would have already become the boss.
Several people saw that the guns couldn't be removed for the time being and there was nothing they could do. They couldn't figure out what it was. That was the case for those with little education, but at least they still had some brains. They knew they had to deal with the enemy in front of them before talking about other things. Everyone crossed their arms and rolled up their sleeves in preparation.
Commissioner Gordon is facing this situation now. He's about to retire and is considered old and weak. There's another man next to him who was shot and is considered disabled. He only has two men by his side. There were seven people on the opposite side, all experienced in street fights. The 130-kilogram guy in front looked stupid, but he had a lot of strength.
I could hardly hold a weapon before, but now I really can't beat him. He waved desperately at Thea, just to ask her, are you here to help or do you want to pick some of us and advance strategically?
Thea scratched her neck in embarrassment. Yes, they fought vigorously before, and she entered brilliantly and made a risky move. She used a big move without distinguishing between friend and foe. Now, with her help, the situation is becoming more and more complicated and unfavorable. Stand up.
Hey, I really wanted to help. I just wanted to test the weapon on a whim. Tens of thousands of dollars were lost after that shot. Judging by the frown on Director Gordon's face, he probably wouldn't reimburse me.
I can only help you defeat these monsters. As for surrendering and such, firstly, I can't afford to lose that person. Secondly, the skateboard is too big. With four policemen and five counting on me, there's no room for anyone else and I don't want to allow strangers to climb onto my equipment.
She now has the mindset that, since you pleaded with me sincerely, I'll be merciful and help you get rid of your enemies.
Sure, it would be cool to shoot an arrow alone, but in front of these policemen, especially old Gordon, it's definitely not possible to kill them. First impressions are very important, and the first impression given by the Green Arrow is very unpleasant. Well, at least it's bad for legal professionals.
He did all the work of judge and police. Those with low morals are afraid of losing their jobs, while those with good qualities feel it's a violation of the sanctity of the law.
Although he worked hard to make amends later, that bad impression was never eliminated. No matter what happened, he was chased by the police several times. The criminal ran ahead, the hero chased after him, and the police chased the hero in the end. If he knew better, why would he have done it?
Superman doesn't have this problem. His initial impression is very good. He does everything honestly. This may be due to his extraordinary strength. Although high officials are very afraid of him, I haven't heard of the Metropolitan Police Department offering a reward for him, issuing a warrant, or anything like that.
So, to cause that good first impression, Thea gave up the idea of putting on a live show for Commissioner Gordon.
She found a good angle, drew an arrow, and prepared the bow, aimed at the fat man weighing 130 kilograms on the head, and whispered, "Look at me... what kind of arrow is this? Let's call it a sinuous arrow. Felicity will record the data..."
"Whoosh," the arrow hit the ground at the fat man's feet, and in his strange eyes, the collision between the arrow and the ground triggered the arrow's mechanism, causing a large group of milky white gelatinous matter to come out whirring, fly, and quickly turn into a large net two meters high and five meters wide after contacting the air.
The fat man was so close that he didn't even realize what was happening, so he was directly caught in the net. The other people were attacking and were taken by surprise, bumping into him one by one.
Thea's sinuous arrow was drawn with reference to Spider-Man's spider silk. She didn't know what the original spider silk was made of. She used a compound product of carbine molecules developed by Queen Group.
The original inventor, Dr. Hoffman, had good intentions. He used it to deal with those who jumped from the building. A small ball is thrown into a large net. It has excellent resistance and can catch even an elephant falling from a building.
This invention has been on the shelf for a long time. Thea accidentally discovered it and thought it was very valuable. She secretly took it out and worked with Felicity to modify it, and it became what it is now.
In the end, it was called spider silk to avoid trouble. As for whether the spiders would strongly protest being called spider silk by something that had no acidic content, Thea didn't care.
Of course, several villains were unwilling to be trapped in the webs for people to watch and were fighting desperately, especially the fat man in the lead, who was fighting most violently.
Thea made a small modification at the beginning, increased the carbon content of the molecular material, reduced some of the hardness, and increased the toughness, so that the current spider silk was shaken by several people, as if it could break free in the next second.
In fact, the design here is a bit wicked. It's like it likes me and I can kill it, it's an illusion. If an elephant is entangled, it won't be able to break free for a while, let alone a human.
I waved to Director Gordon, saying that I have solved everything and leave the rest to you.
Looking at the unknown person in front of him, even though Thea covered her face tightly, Commissioner Gordon could still tell that the person was a woman. If he couldn't tell the difference between a man and a woman after living for over sixty years, it would be very difficult to live in vain.
If you can't recognize someone when they change clothes, that can only mean you're blind. Although Commissioner Gordon wears large reading glasses, his vision isn't as good as when he was young, but he's still not that blind.
The scene fell silent for a while, with only the sounds of a few villains still fighting could be heard.
Thea didn't intend to show her face to say hello. There was no problem for Chief Gordon to know her true identity. It could be said that this person's credibility is the best, but it was difficult to say to those few police officers. The Gotham Police Department was like a sieve, full of people and very complicated, so it's better to keep it mysterious for now.
At this moment, the former director also wondered when there would be another heroine in his jurisdiction, when Catwoman's helicopter finally arrived.
Catwoman and Commissioner Gordon have known each other for many years, exchanging information quietly, and several policemen also showed expressions as if they had seen the old Gordon's face lighten up.
Today's Gotham is like Stalingrad, with constant gunfire and occasional violent explosions. They are seriously injured and have few bullets left, they really don't have the confidence to cross the city, the arrival of the helicopter makes them feel safe, which improves the situation.
Several villains had already passed out from prolonged contact with the spider silk, after all, it's a chemical and contact with the skin will cause some damage to the nervous system... If you want to be green and natural, you need to stay stuck in the web. Thea and Felicity stood next to the spider silk, each wearing a pair of gloves to check the results.
"The adhesion is very good."
"Next time, you can properly reduce the loading amount. For a single target, such a large piece is a waste..."
As Thea observed the cross-section of the spider silk with special lenses, Commissioner Gordon and Catwoman approached slowly.
Looking at this dense spider web, this is really a good thing! Commissioner Gordon has been looking for ways to apprehend prisoners without breaking the law. Beating prisoners until they can't take care of themselves is not in line with his philosophy. Every time Batman leaves a bloodied prisoner at the precinct door, it keeps the hallways and doctors busy for a long time.
Now this spider web is very good. Not to mention they don't have any injuries. It's safe and fast, and it also has a coma effect. When the police encounter such a situation, they can simply handcuff and take them away.
It not only protected the policemen, but also prevented the prisoner from being seriously injured. If it weren't for the wrong time, he would like to ask Thea, how much does this thing cost per kilo?
After retracting his thoughts, he saw the two busy women talking and saying things he didn't understand from time to time, so he could only interrupt them and say, "Thank you for your help to Gotham."
"Oh? You're welcome." It seems that Catwoman has told him her identity. In fact, this question isn't hard to guess for someone attentive. Haven't you seen Felicity standing next to her without any disguise? After all, are you there? You can know who you are by checking and looking for related people.
But Thea didn't continue to struggle with this issue; instead, she asked, "Where do we go next?" This question can only be directed to Commissioner Gordon. After all, he is the director of a city with tens of millions of people, at least a department-level figure, and he is not lacking in determination. Yes, this is also the main reason why Thea came to him first.
"Some of our officers are at Gotham University now. Come with me."
Is there a university in this damn place? Learn how to make C4 and how to establish a new life vision for mentally ill patients?
Thea really admires the few social sages who decided to build a university here. I really don't want to help the old Mr. Gordon, but I'll obey you.
When it was the specific team's turn, Director Gordon hoped that Thea would also bring two people with her because the helicopter couldn't accommodate so many people. Thea saw that the policemen were sloppy and looked like refugees. She had a slight misophobia, and the space on the skateboard was so large, she was afraid of kicking someone if she reacted too much, and several policemen also felt that her skateboard was floating so much that they felt insecure.
When the two sides combined, everything was fine. All the women got on the skateboards, and all the men got on the helicopters. To be honest, the quality of the policemen was quite high. Three out of the four could fly helicopters, which made Thea think to herself: Do you want to learn some modern driving techniques when you look back?
Catwoman was still very confident in her balance. She stood on one side, while Thea held Felicity's waist and stood on the other side. The three lowered their height and followed the helicopter to fly slowly.
No one mentioned the guys stuck in the web. Thea and the others had a special solution that could get them out, but now that the city was in chaos, there was no place to hold them, so they could only say they should be left hanging for now. As for them, they weren't reliable. The two really didn't know if they could find a way to remove the solution themselves.
With Felicity in her arms, Thea could only use her gun to fight the enemies she encountered along the way. With the roar of the helicopter, there was no more concealment problem.
Catwoman also showed the limit of human agility. She stood firm on the skateboard with both feet, without relying on any equipment. From time to time, she managed to throw knives when encountering enemies.
Finally, just before Felicity passed out, everyone rushed to the so-called Gotham University.
This university is truly in Gotham style. The overall feeling is dark and gray. The entrance is a rundown iron fence. The main teaching building is brighter, it seems that the school is also trying to attract more students, the color decorates this university, but the actual effect is minimal. The original white walls became blurry due to abandonment for many years.
There is a green belt next to the school district. The trees that should bring the breath of life and the sun seem particularly frightening in this dark environment. The breeze blows, and the leaves rustle, as if the whisper of a banshee echoes in the forest.
Thea feels a little scared. This damn place doesn't need to be fixed to make a horror movie. How much budget can be saved by lending it to the Midnight Bell team? A dead person buried here will turn into a corpse in minutes.
Felicity, who has always been talkative, was also frightened by this terrifying atmosphere and shrank into Thea's arms like a quail.
The policemen and Catwoman were not affected at all, perhaps they grew up in this environment and were already immune.
This university is really the home of exceptional people. There was a guy who taught here who liked scaring people even more as he grew up. Later, someone gave this teacher a nickname called Scarecrow. That wise man who wet his pants when so many people scared him.
There is also an excellent student representative, a young woman of good character and academic, with integral development of morality, intelligence, and physical fitness. She won the school gymnastics performance championship. It is said that she almost participated in the Olympics. After graduation, she focused on cutting-edge psychology research and became a countless mathematician. The existence that younger students admire the most, this girl is called Harley Quinn.
Of course, the school itself is innocent for training so many elites. You can't say that the school is not good just because Voldemort graduated from Hogwarts. School is a place to learn knowledge. Did the two students above learn knowledge? If you learn, it means it has nothing to do with the school.
Batman Future also sent his son to this school for further studies, which shows that Mr. Bruce still recognizes the quality of education at this school...
