Chapter 44 - Chapter 44: Opening a backdoor? Joker's arrival

Is it unfair for MIB, a global organization, to open a back door specifically for Huaxia?

Indeed, there's no doubt about that.

But then again, if the BOSS opens a back door specifically, what does that have to do with the entire MIB?

After contributing so much to the World for so many years, what's wrong with wanting to open a back door?

Whoever is unhappy, whoever is displeased, just endure it!

If you really can't stand it, then fight; whoever's fist is stronger gets to decide!

On the other end of the phone, Du Kao knew Lin Luo was hesitant, and with his cunning, he went with the flow and expressed his thoughts.

"I heard that the U.S. side received an invasion signal from Mars. As allies, no matter how bad our usual relationship is, we still have to help out at critical moments."

"How about sending those youngsters over to help out and, at the same time, hone their combat skills?"

Actually, Du Kao really wanted to say, let the Taotie Legion from Styx directly start a war in the U.S. instead of staying on an asteroid near Earth, secretly watching Huaxia.

But this was not something glorious.

He was a bit embarrassed to say it, mainly because he was used to Earth's sentimentality and didn't want to bear psychological pressure.

It's better to wait for this terrifying gentleman to infer for himself.

But... who is Lin Luo?

Forget about inferring; Du Kao could see through all of Du Kao's intentions.

"Lao Du, you're being mischievous again. Say what you mean directly, don't beat around the bush."

Du Kao paused, then chuckled, "I don't understand what you mean... Oh, by the way, my daughter rose has been pestering me to go see you. What do you think..."

When in doubt, he decisively played the trump card of his daughter.

Does Lin Luo fall for that?

Heh, he actually does!

Recalling more than twenty years ago, the infant Du Qiangwei, a tiny little thing, would follow him around, calling him 'Gege' (older brother) with every breath.

He was inexplicably demoted a generation.

However, that girl was indeed cute, always thinking things like a little adult.

Presumably, Qiangwei must have grown into a young lady by now?

"I still remember Qiangwei once said she wanted to marry..."

"Cough, cough!" Lin Luo lightly coughed twice, interrupting Lao Du's somewhat irrational remark, and said helplessly, "Before officially participating in the war, give those children a harsh enough lesson."

Clap—!

"Good! Good! Good!" Du Kao clapped his hands excitedly, shouting three 'goods' in his excitement, "I'll go arrange it right away, My Lord... We've got a deal!"

Lin Luo shook his head helplessly, "You, you, be careful Qiangwei deals with you."

"Let's talk about serious business, serious business." Du Kao didn't dare to dwell on the topic of Qiangwei.

If the joke came true, it would be a huge problem.

Du Kao said, "We monitored an Angel entering Huaxia, landing at the Angel International office building."

"Subsequent investigations revealed that the other party claims to be the Thunder War God, the left-wing guard of Holy Keisha, the Lord of the Angel Civilization."

"The Demon Queen Morgana has also secretly infiltrated Earth. Her anti-monitoring and wormhole technology are too advanced; Xiong Bing Company's existing technology cannot pinpoint her location."

"Of course, I'm not saying this to ask MIB for help; I'm just reporting it to you."

"Hmm... I understand."

Lin Luo was particularly interested in Angels and Demons, saying, "When that Holy Keisha comes to Earth, call me again."

"It's settled then!"

Beep... beep... beep... Du Kao, fearing Lin Luo would go back on his word, hung up the phone first.

The old man was smiling so happily.

With Mr. Lin Luo's two words, he felt confident in doing anything.

Smiling, he picked up his cup to make a hot tea, but as soon as he turned around, he froze in place.

"Old man..."

Qiangwei stood in the dark corner, her beautiful face half-lit, half-shadowed, a slight smile on her lips.

A murderous aura emanated from her entire body.

"What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly. Could you please repeat it?"

...In the car.

Lin Luo put away his phone, contemplating what price the U.S.'s current active forces, combined with Xiong Bing Company's super soldiers, would have to pay to win.

If it really didn't work, he'd let Little Flash go out and help.

"Do you think I'm being unfair to this country?" Lin Luo asked.

"I don't know about fair or unfair," Catwoman replied, "After what happened last time, you've already been extremely benevolent by not retaliating."

"I agree with all of your decisions." Natasha looked out the window, saying with reluctance, "It's just those innocent civilians..."

She wasn't being a saint; she had great love in her heart.

Lin Luo's hesitation wasn't about being hypocritical either.

Humans all have emotions; it's impossible to be like the AI Moss in "The Wandering Earth 2," who calculated numerous disasters to unite all humanity, using blood and sacrifice to connect the hearts of the entire World.

No.

Lin Luo could also do it.

But it would require lifting the brain's restrictions and dulling emotions... However, it would be more trouble than it's worth.

Because he also didn't know what kind of things such a self would do.

As he was thinking, the little cat beside him, who had long been restless, could no longer contain itself and suddenly launched an attack.

Perhaps Lin Luo was too engrossed in thought and completely unprepared, so he accidentally fell victim.

...Gotham.

Dilapidated apartment.

When Lin Luo got out of the car, the moon was already high in the sky.

He tidied his clothes and pushed open the door.

The car continued forward, slowly disappearing into the shadows of Gotham.

He pushed the door open.

His suit changed back into casual clothes.

Lin Luo sat on the sofa, quite satisfied with his day.

The only slight regret was that Lorna was busy with her Mutant squad and hadn't even called him.

"Oh, you're back after having a good time outside."

Harley Quinn walked past Lin Luo with a resentful look, filled Bud and Lois's dog bowls, and walked away with a gloomy dissatisfaction.

"Did I offend you?" Lin Luo asked.

"No, no, how could I have the right to let you offend me?" Harley Quinn's tone carried a hint of sourness.

Lin Luo immediately became interested, planning to chat a few more words.

"Humph, humph..."

Unfortunately, Harley Quinn didn't give him the chance, humming a tune as she walked to the bathroom, "I'm going to take a shower, definitely don't peek."

"Heh." Lin Luo retorted, "Don't worry, I definitely won't look. I don't want you to take advantage of me."

"???"

Harley Quinn looked back, so angry that she forgot to grab her clothes, and rushed into the bathroom... Bang—!

Accompanied by the loud bang of the door hitting the frame, the entire apartment seemed to shake.

This showed Harley Quinn's mood at the moment.

Lin Luo smiled, unconcerned, and turned on the projection TV to watch Superman's farewell press conference.

Superman told the World his experiences from childhood to adulthood, and as he spoke deeply, he couldn't control his tears.

Only then did people realize that Superman was not a god, but a man of flesh and blood.

A reporter wanted to persuade him to stay, but Superman politely declined, then shared the news of Lois's pregnancy with the World.

Knowing that Superman chose to leave to protect his wife and child, no one had the nerve to say anything more.

They were the ones who had let Superman down.

All fingers immediately pointed at Rex Corporation.

"Woof woof woof..."

A few minutes later, Bud and Lois, who were obediently eating their dog food, suddenly raised their heads and bared their teeth at the door, looking fierce as if they had encountered an enemy.

Lin Luo looked in the direction they were growling...

Bang—!

Bang—!

Bang—!

The next moment, heavy knocking sounds came.

Lin Luo probably knew what was going on and smiled as he got up to open the door.

Click... He opened the door, and a man in a purple suit with a green slicked-back hairstyle on his head leaned against the doorframe, smiling sinisterly.

When Joker saw that it was a man opening the door for him, his sinister smile disappeared, replaced by a playful grin.

"You are..."

"My name is Lin Luo, I'm Harley's friend. You must be Mr. Joker, please come in." Lin Luo acted like the Master of the place, stepping aside and politely gesturing "Please."

His demeanor made Joker's eye twitch. He chuckled as he walked in, even saying "Thank you."

On the surface, he was polite, but his hand reached for the gun behind his back and disengaged the safety.

Lin Luo and Joker sat down, one on the left and one on the right, in a standoff.

Bud and Lois's hostility grew stronger and stronger, looking like they were ready to break free from their chains and bite at any moment.

"Behave." Lin Luo gently scolded.

"Mmm..."

As soon as he spoke, Bud and Lois immediately wilted, behaving impeccably.

Seeing this, Joker laughed, a crazy, deranged laugh.

Even these two beasts were trained to be so obedient; he didn't need to think to know how long this scoundrel had been living here.

"Mr. Joker, I've heard of you. The Nightmare of Gotham, Batman's lifelong opponent, an eternal nemesis he can never shake off." Lin Luo said.

Joker, who was about to pull out his gun, stopped his hand upon hearing this, and asked with a hint of surprise, "What did you just say? Please repeat it, I didn't hear clearly."

Lin Luo repeated as Joker wished, "Batman's lifelong opponent... an eternal nemesis he can never shake off."

"Yes! That's right! Nemesis!"

These two descriptions resonated with Joker, and his killing intent immediately diminished. He asked with interest, "You seem to know me very well."

"Yes, I've studied all of your encounters with Batman." Lin Luo was telling the truth; in his previous life, he had indeed researched plots related to Batman and Joker.

"I feel that in countless confrontations, you were the one who stood at the peak. You had many chances to kill him, but you deliberately let him go."

"It's no exaggeration to say that you... proved Batman's value."

"Yes! That's exactly right!" Joker shouted excitedly. At this moment, he seemed to have found a kindred spirit, saying, "Please forgive my thought of killing you just now, Lin Luo, you really are very interesting."

As he spoke, Joker rubbed his hands and asked expectantly, "Do you have any deeper understanding?"

"Actually, you and..."

Just as Lin Luo was about to say something more, Harley Quinn's shout came from the bathroom.

"Lin Luo! I forgot my clothes in the room, bring them over for me!"

"You can also choose to refuse, then this old lady will go get them herself!"

Joker: "!!!"

Hearing the shout, Lin Luo couldn't help but laugh.

Was this Poison Ivy's plan too?

It was simply brilliant!

"Please wait a moment." Lin Luo greeted Joker, got up again, and skillfully walked towards Harley Quinn's room, took out some intimate clothing, and brought it to the bathroom...
