After Shiva and Seven Kills escaped from the car, they cooperated and threatened the lives of the nearby officers to temporarily force Nightwing back, eventually managing to slither away. Of course, from that moment on, they were on the hunting list of the superheroes. When they were captured, it was resting time for them. Even though the escape exhausted some Stamina Points, their two points were full enough. With their ability, at a state where they had full stamina, they could leap around this concrete jungle with ease like a superhero. The distance between the buildings was nothing; they could even perform giant leaps between buildings like in the Matrix. Therefore, after the pair escaped, they split up and soon disappeared into the night.

Of the six players, it was not only Feng Bujue who had read Battle for the Cowl. Shiva knew most of the plot, too, but he originally had confidence that he could win this killing game with his own power, so he did not plan to have much involvement with the characters. However, the situation had changed. Facing a cunning enemy like Feng Bujue, Shiva could not be too straightforward, or he would be taken advantage off.

After ensuring he had shaken loose the followers, he first found a place to get online and start to collect information. The information about the travelers from another world was all over the internet, and the video with the highest view count was the Death of Robin uploaded by John Doe. Shiva saw the video and read some articles, thus gaining some understanding of what Feng Bujue had done. Undeniably, John Doe was Feng Bujue, and at least he could confirm his appearance. The most important clue was that Feng Bujue currently had not been arrested.

Shiva and Seven Kills were named as alternate-dimension Criminal A and Criminal B. The news of their arrest and even escape could be checked online. But that John Doe—the one who filled the street with money, killed the police, and executed Robin—did not have any mention that he had been captured. This could only mean that he had not been arrested by the official police.

Shiva made three suppositions. One, he was captured by the Network and was being tortured. Two, he was captured by Jason Todd and being tortured. Three, he was still a free man, planning some conspiracy.

Analyzing it objectively, the chance of one was very small. After all, the Network consisted of 'good people'. They would be angry due to Tim's death, but they would not lose their rationality. If they had really snapped, when they escaped earlier, Nightwing would not have let them go so easily.

The second situation was not likely either. Using the Angel of Death as the standard, Jason Todd would be no weaker than him, and he was known for his cruelty. A level twenty-eight player relying on wits would have a hard time surviving a battle with Jason. He would most likely be killed. Therefore, the third supposition sounded the most likely.

After confirming that Feng Bujue was still free, he started to speculate what he would do next.

"If I were a non-fighting player, at this point, what would I do?" he asked himself. Soon, a term popped up in Shiva's mind—Batcave.

This night, all the superheroes would be out, and they would be busy. Other than Oracle who was in a wheelchair and Alfred the old butler, the place would be deserted. This was a treasure trove guarded by the incapacitated and old, a free for all for equipment!

With that in mind, Shiva checked the map of Gotham City and rushed toward Wayne Manor. Even if Feng Bujue was not there, getting to the Batcave first would put him at an advantage. Therefore, ten minutes later, on the rooftop of a building, he heard gunshots not far away and saw the fight between Feng Bujue and Jason. Even though it was night, the streetlights, billboards, and moon were bright, so Shiva could observe Feng Bujue's every move clearly. Since the street was empty, the sound could travel very far, so Shiva with his level C Sleuthing could even hear their conversation clearly.

With such an advantageous situation, Shiva would naturally not show himself. He still could not confirm whether Feng Bujue had a real bomb on him or not and did not know whether Feng Bujue was bluffing about the power of the bomb or not. At that moment, staying at a safe distance to watch the fight was undeniably the best solution.

And for Feng Bujue, he had already realized. Other than being attacked by Jason, he was under the surveillance of another player. Of course, Brother Jue did not change his plan. Whether the other player was around or not, he had to go for the armor. Because Jason was too annoying and too strong, he had no choice.

"Jason, don't push it!" Feng Bujue stopped the covering fire with the gun and used the wrench to pry open the back of the car. He shouted, "My partner from another dimension is watching you from nearby. If he makes his move, you're dead!"

Then, he leaped into a roll, slithered into the trunk of the car, and closed the trunk.

What the f*ck? At that moment, Shiva cursed in his mind. What the hell! How did he know I'm nearby? He's joking, right? That's so lucky for him, but this puts me in a bad position!

Jason Todd was a superhero. Once Feng Bujue said that, he used his eagle-like eyes to look at the nearby buildings, rooftops, windows, and so on. Before Shiva could hide, he was discovered.

"So, he's not lying…" Todd raised his voice and shouted at Shiva, "I heard from the Network's frequency that you escaped from Nightwing. Humph… Not bad."

He then pulled on the trigger, giving Shiva no chance to explain himself.

The rooftop that Shiva was on was higher than Todd, so he leaped backward and slithered out of view.

Todd instantly took out the grapple gun and got onto the roof of the adjacent building, ascending to a level higher than Shiva, and continued to shoot. Obviously, he had changed his attack target.

Shiva could only lament his bad luck. Who told him not to strap a bomb around himself?

As for Feng Bujue, after he crawled into the trunk, Todd stopped shooting him. Who could know what kind of pose he was making inside the trunk? What if he accidentally shot the bomb?

"Listen! I'm not with him!" Shiva hid behind a corner. "I can prove it! Let me help you kill him!"
