Super Detective in the Fictional World

2230 Side Story: Fantasy Journey

Catching Mr. Freeze and throwing him into his space, Luke checked the consequences of the guy’s fury.

This was an industrial area, which was basically empty at night, and which was why he had chosen to catch Mr. Freeze here.

But when he had gotten closer just now, he realized that there were people around, as if they had been drawn over by Mr. Freeze’s hail of bullets.

Luke saw a factory window that had been frozen and then shattered to reveal a big hole. Several people were hiding furtively near the entrance, stupefied and motionless.

Luke scanned the factory and discovered that there were no casualties; only a small part of the factory had been frozen by Mr. Freeze’s bullets.

On the other hand, a person at the end of the road not far away had been frozen into an ice sculpture. It seemed that he had been hit as he was walking toward the factory entrance.

Luke scanned him, shook his head, then left.

This person had just been on TV tonight, and had been saved by Master Wayne not long ago. Now, he had inexplicably run into Mr. Freeze’s line of fire. Furthermore, Mr. Freeze had used quick-freeze to vent, and the person had died instantly.

That was just how bad a person’s luck could be sometimes.

…

A moment ago, in the factory, Lawser’s phone suddenly rang, interrupting his conversation with Shower.

After picking up the call and saying a few words, Lawser was surprised. “Miss Aoi, you’re not dead yet? Ah, no, no, no, I’m not cursing you… Weren’t you held hostage by those criminals? I saw it on TV… What, you escaped? You’re almost at our safe house… We’re here too. Wait, you’re not bringing the criminals here, are you?”

His voice grew louder and louder, and the nerds who were obsessed with their new wives all turned their attention to him.

Lawser hung up, stood up, and took two steps before he hesitated.

He then walked to a corner and took out a homemade crossbow.

Looking at the stunned people on the side, Lawser frowned. “I’m worried that this guy is lying. He was with hundreds of criminals. If even just a few of them followed him, we’re in danger.”

Everybody subconsciously looked at their wives on the long table. They ran to a few corners and took out their hidden self-defense weapons.

As cosplay fans, it was normal for them to make some bows.

These things were too heavy and inconvenient to use, but they could still be useful in an emergency.

After they were all equipped, Lawser told Shower to close the back door and pay attention so that nobody snuck in from there.

If a criminal broke in through the front entrance, Shower could slip out through the back door and get help.

After making arrangements for their darlings, the nerds then gathered together and approached the entrance with various self-defense weapons.

The reason they didn’t turn Miss Aoi away was because nerds weren’t that black-hearted.

After all, Miss Aoi was a feminine, ‘friendly’ person.

Compared with Lawser’s third-rate cosplay, which had made Luke want to beat him up, Miss Aoi was definitely a bigshot in crossdressing. It was hard to tell he was a guy without taking off his clothes.

Also, Miss Aoi had a pretty good job (corporate spy). He gave the nerds some benefits every now and then, which was why the nerds ‘begrudgingly’ acknowledged him.

After they left the factory and locked the door, they hid behind a bunch of broken machines on the side to watch the road.

Not long after, Miss Aoi turned out of an alley not far from the factory and looked behind him warily.

Of course, he was no longer dressed as a woman.

Given how beautiful he was in women’s clothes, he would definitely have been ravished if he appeared on the streets of Gotham tonight looking like that.

Lawser quickly confirmed the other party’s identity. He was about to step forward to greet him, when there was a sudden sound in the sky.

A figure glowing with a bluish-white light fell from ten meters in the air. After rolling twice on the ground, he shouted angrily, “Come out, come out!”

Then, he jumped more than ten meters high and fired randomly in all directions.

Miss Aoi, who was very vigilant, had already ducked to the side, but there wasn’t even a warning sign for him to take cover behind.

Miss Aoi ran to a corner of a roadside building.

At that moment, white smoke dropped from the sky and landed in front of him.

Miss Aoi only had time to curse, “F*ck…” before he crashed into the thick white smoke and fell silent.

Lawser, who had just raised his foot, was dumbfounded. The nerds who were secretly observing were also dumbfounded. What kind of luck was this?

He had been dodging here and there, but happened to run into a random shot by Mr. Freeze.

Mr. Freeze casually fired a few times and didn’t even look at Miss Aoi.

Trash who could be killed with one shot definitely wasn’t the enemy who was chasing him.

Then, Luke rushed over, knocked Mr. Freeze down, and dragged him away.

The area around the factory fell silent.

A few minutes later, after making sure that everything was peaceful, Lawser carefully walked out of his hiding spot and went over to Mr. Aoi.

Looking at the conflicted, depressed, and aggrieved expression on his face, Lawser tentatively patted Miss Aoi’s shoulder. “Are you alright?”

Crack!

A crack suddenly appeared in Miss Aoi’s shoulder.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

There was a concentrated crack, which spread throughout Miss Aoi’s body. In the end, he completely shattered and turned into tiny pieces.

Lawser was dumbfounded.

The nerds behind him sucked in sharp breaths. ‘Fat Blowfish’ Fisher even stuffed his hand into his mouth to stop himself from screaming.

‘Thor’ Wicked murmured, “F*ck! Lawser actually killed his teacher.”

‘Iron Man’ Summer calmed down a little. “Um, I’m pretty sure Miss Aoi was killed by that white smoke?”

A moment later, the others dragged the dazed Lawser back to the factory. After all, it was too dangerous outside tonight.

...

Miss Aoi, this old acquaintance, would no longer crossdress and be eye candy for them anymore – there was even less fun in life now.

After they returned to the factory and locked the door, they finally relaxed and heaved sighs of relief.

Turning around, everybody looked at their wives.

Then… there was wailing inside the factory, which was even more sorrowful than when Miss Aoi died. “F*ck! My wife!”

“F*ck! My collector’s item wife!”

“F*ck! My 30th anniversary edition wife!”

The long table full of their wives in the factory was covered in a layer of blue and white transparent crystals, just like Miss Aoi had been.

‘Thor’ Wicked was the first to come back to his senses. He finally shouted, “Stop! Stop shouting. Maybe our wives can still be saved.”

Hearing that, everybody immediately shut up.

The nerds trembled as they approached the long table. None of them dared to get close. Miss Aoi had been shattered by Lawser earlier!

However, the items, including the long table, just looked like they were covered in a layer of transparent blue crystals, which felt a little like they had been sealed in plastic.

...

“What are you doing?” Shower’s puzzled voice suddenly rang out.

Everybody who was observing the situation jolted, and Fisher couldn’t help but cry out.

Their hearts tightened, but there was no reaction from the frozen table.

Everybody heaved sighs of relief.

Crash! Bang!

The sunroof finally couldn’t take it anymore. The frozen glass shattered and the metal window frame broke and fell to the floor.
