When the strange crocodile cat and Batman looked at each other, both sides were stunned for a moment because they both thought the other was strange.
From the perspective of Batman's human aesthetics, the opponent is very deformed, with a body shape somewhere between a cat and a crocodile. The combination of these two unrelated creatures is really not good-looking.
The crocodile cat opposite has a raised carapace similar to that of a crocodile from the top of its head to the root of its tail. The brow bones on its eyes are also protruding. Its claws are larger than those of ordinary cats, and its structure is more similar to that of a crocodile.
Like, and moreover, he is bigger than the cats living in this city, almost close to a cheetah.
In the eyes of the crocodile cat, the cats opposite are even stranger. In this world, cats wear clothes, and most cats are equipped with equipment. Even ordinary cats living in slums have clothes on their bodies.
There will be metal gear and exoskeletons.
From the perspective of the crocodile cat, the cats opposite him were completely naked and unarmed, not even a gun, which was extremely strange.
But after hesitating for a moment, the two parties did not take action immediately, especially the crocodile cat. He seemed very cautious. He first took two steps back and approached the shadow at the corner, then raised his tail and stretched out his paws to express unfriendliness.
posture.
The cats across from them didn't know how to understand cat behavior. Even Batman couldn't adapt to the life of a cat in just a few hours. He still looked at cats from a human perspective.
, he thought that this posture of the crocodile cat was a prelude to attack, so he planned to attack the cat first.
Batman also moved slowly, his body walking into the shadows on the edge. Crocodile Cat's vertical boy stared closely at his figure. However, Batman hidden in the shadows was a nightmare for all opponents. Crocodile Cat was almost completely
I couldn't clearly see his movement as he rushed out, but he was already slapped on the head with a paw.
Batman is not a cat that is good at fighting. At least, he doesn't know exactly how cats should fight. However, his learning ability is almost invincible. The moment he started fighting, he realized that cats are indeed born with the ability to fight.
hunter.
Speed, flexibility, agility, and lethality are all impeccable. The moment he realized this, Batman, like a real feline killer, lunged forward and bit the crocodile cat's ear.
Then another paw scratched the crocodile cat's front paw.
Then, he raised his paws and jumped forward, pressing his sharp claws on the crocodile cat's abdomen. At the same time, he flicked his tail, turned his body direction, and bit the crocodile cat's neck.
The crocodile cat let out a scream, but the expected pain and death did not come. Batman did not bite hard, but just used his fangs to restrain the crocodile cat's movements. At this time, Clark rushed up and said: "
Hey! Come on! We can't kill cats..."
Batman let go of his mouth, but his claws were still pressed against the crocodile cat's abdomen. He looked into the crocodile cat's eyes. He saw a very human expression of fear on the crocodile cat's face. Then, he turned
He stood up and exposed his belly as a gesture of surrender.
This crocodile cat is much larger than Batman's cats, but it is not that flexible. In other words, the crocodile mutation applied to the cat has weakened the feline's lethality. Not to mention
In addition, his front claws are not as flexible as Batman, but more like a crocodile...
"Who are you? Why are you here?" Batman asked.
"I should ask you this." The crocodile cat lying on the ground was a little unclear when he spoke. Although he made a "meow, meow, meow" sound, several cats could understand what he said.
.
"Why did you appear here? How did you end up in the sewers of Gotham?" Crocodile Cat glanced at these strange cats with his eyes, but Batman said: "We are from out of town and want to find someone here."
"From out of town?" Crocodile Cat blinked, looked at them and said, "You guys are from the Big Apple next door, right? Especially you..." Crocodile Cat looked at Clark and said, "I smell it on you.
That apple smell.”
Clark stretched out his paws and sniffed without knowing why, but he didn't feel any smell on his body at all. Constantine frowned and said: "Forget about the smell, it's so smelly here. Let's find a drier place quickly.
Otherwise I will soon become moldy..."
Batman turned his attention to the face of the crocodile cat again. The crocodile cat bared his teeth and said helplessly: "I'm just a stray cat. As you can see, I can't live on the surface because of my appearance, so I just
I can only stay here."
"Does the murder that happened in front of the bank have anything to do with you?" Batman narrowed his eyes and looked at him. When he heard the murder, Crocodile Cat was obviously stunned for a moment. He shook his head and said, "Although I
It’s been a while since I’ve been to the surface, but I know that it’s the territory of bat cats, murder eucalyptus? It’s impossible, no cat can commit crimes in this city.”
"Batcat?" Batman's eyes narrowed to a slit, and Victor, who was more familiar with him, understood that Batman's vigilance was at its highest.
"It seems that you are not only from other places, but also from aliens. You don't know Batcat?! He is the richest cat in the world!"
"Moreover, he rules the entire Gotham, haven't you seen? His cameras are everywhere here?"
Batman thought for a moment. He slowly put away his claws and no longer restrained the crocodile cat. The crocodile cat turned over and got up from the ground. Batman paced in front of him and said: "Tell me more about bats."
Cat thing."
"What else can happen?" The crocodile cat lowered his head and licked the wound on his front paw and said, "The richest cat in the world will spend a lot of money to turn this city into the safest city.
Pay any price and eliminate all criminals..."
"About 4 years ago... or 5 years ago? When I came to Gotham, it was still the most chaotic city in the world. But later, Batcat, who returned from traveling around the world, began his career as the emperor of Gotham."
"He first spent a lot of money to become the mayor of Gotham, and then bribed the legislators and passed one law after another, gradually turning Gotham into a city with a strong mayor system."
"He has invested a lot of financial resources in scientific research, making Gotham's infrastructure far ahead of all cities. The citizens have tasted the benefits. They feel that Gotham will soon surpass the Big Apple and become the most advanced and developed city.
"…
"So, when Batcat began to continuously acquire land and renovate buildings, and distributed the renovated buildings to citizens for free, everyone praised him as an unprecedented sage..."
"Yes, this sounds like a selfless god. He spent his own money to renovate all the buildings and build the most advanced residences, and gave these houses to all residents for free..."
"Initially, all the cats thought this was a good thing, thinking that he was the son of God who brought good news to the Gotham cats..."
"But later, more and more cameras, more and more automatic weapons, and all the technological equipment in this city obeyed Batcat's orders. Without his permission, vehicles cannot start and spaceships cannot take off..."
"Every street and every corner is covered with cameras and automatic weapons. It's not that no cats have protested. They say that Bat Cats have violated citizens' privacy rights. But obviously, Bat Cats are more determined than any other cat."
"Later, all this started to become more and more excessive. All the buildings in the city were replaced by him with cages made of steel. Even the furniture, food and water sources were controlled by him. If Bat Cat disagrees, you
I can't even open my own door..."
"This has fundamentally eliminated thieves." Clark touched his cheek and said, "If you can't open the door yourself, then surely thieves can't either, right?"
"Hmph..." The crocodile cat snorted coldly and said, "Yeah, if you want to open your refrigerator and take out a piece of fried fish tail, you will immediately receive a call warning you that this food is unhealthy.
You have to eat cat strips made by Batcat."
The crocodile cat swung its tail and walked around, pawing the ground with its claws from time to time, looking a little anxious. He said: "The bat cat said it was paying for the safety of this city, but do we really need such safety?"
"But there are really no criminals in this city, right?" Batman asked.
"Really? Then how did you get here? And why did I meet you here?"
The Crocodile Cat, who is bigger than all cats, walked up to Batman and said: "The sewer is the last pure land. Bat Cat supporters are not welcome here. Even if you can defeat me, you can't defeat the people who live deeper."
Those crazy people."
"Besides you, are there other residents here?" Batman asked.
"I have already said that not everyone supports the idea of bat cats. When things started to become more and more extreme, many cats came out to protest, but they all disappeared quietly."
"It's not surprising. Everything in this city belongs to Batcat. He can even poison your drink at any time. The reason is that the factories, assembly line machines and even cups that make the drinks are all produced by him."
"However, there are not only ordinary cats in this world, but also weird cats like me. Maybe some of my genes have mutated. I have the genes of the prehistoric creature crocodile. At the same time, I am bigger and stronger.
Strong, maybe this change has also increased my wisdom, so I can break through the encirclement and escape here."...
When the crocodile cat turned around, he raised his neck high and showed a wound on the right side of his lower jaw to several cats. He said: "I was once caught by a bat cat and put on a collar. He put a collar on my lower jaw.
I installed a sensing device, and once I leave the monitoring range, I will be electrocuted to death."
"I struggled to get rid of the device, but it left a permanent hole in my mandible..."
As the crocodile cat raised his head, several cats saw that there was indeed a hole in the center of his thick hair. The wound was obviously not left recently, but had been healed for a long time.
"Did you commit a crime?" Batman asked him.
"No, I originally lived in a slum in the east. There were too many crazy cats like me there. None of us laughed at anyone. I had a job that barely made it to the mouth of the lake, but one day, Bat Cat told us that he wanted to improve this place.
life, allowing all residents to live the kind of luxurious life that residents in the city center live."
"But he doesn't allow criminals in his new city, so everyone has to pass a security test, and obviously, I failed that test."
"So, he put a collar on you?"
"Yes, he told me that this is a sign of his tolerance. Even if I am a monster and the test results say that I have a natural violence factor and am a potential criminal, he still will not kill me, but I need to accept it.
Closer monitoring than other cats to make sure I don't commit a crime."
"Nonsense!" Clark concluded first, saying: "If you didn't commit a crime, you're not a criminal, it's that simple."
"There is no such thing as a potential criminal in this world. To put it that way, everyone is a potential criminal."
"When I'm angry, I also want to break things, and even want to punch the person who made me angry. When I take the test, will I also get an answer that I am a criminal? This is simply ridiculous!" Clark
He shook his head vigorously, showing great disapproval.
"What is this test based on? Psychological analysis? Historical behavioral judgment? Or something else?"
"I don't know." Crocodile Cat shook his head and said: "What he said was very vague. What he said... There is darkness in my heart. I am a born criminal. I will definitely commit crimes in the future. Maybe that is just an excuse.
That’s all…”
"He couldn't give any evidence, but he arrested you?" Batman said to himself.
Hearing this, the crocodile cat snorted and said: "Evidence? What evidence does he need? This city belongs to him. Every street and every building here was made by him. He can show great mercy."
It's good to have residents living here, but if we kick out all these cats, the Big Apple won't accept them. Everyone knows Gotham is full of bad cats."
"The mayors of the surrounding cities and the congressmen of this state all think that Batcat is a good cat. He traps all the bad cats in this prison to prevent them from going out to cause trouble in other cities. For those officials, this is terrible
It couldn’t be better news.”
Hearing the crocodile cat's explanation, several other cats seemed to disagree. Victor asked with some confusion: "But when we entered the city, we found that there was still some chaos here, and we even sneaked in easily."
"Do you think this method can really eliminate crime completely? His test that I don't know where it came from can really screen out all criminals and then create a city with only good cats? Do you think this is possible?" Crocodile
the cat asked.
"Good and bad are all relative." Constantine shook his head and said: "Good people who meet the screening conditions of this bat cat may be bad people according to other rules. This kind of screening can only screen out obedient people, not good people.
"
"So, he seems a little impatient recently." Crocodile Cat narrowed his eyes and said, "Because, after several years of transformation, he discovered that evil has not been completely eliminated, and chaos has never left the city.
"
The crocodile cat took a deep breath, looked at Constantine and said: "I can see that, except for this orange guy, you should be very similar to me. We are short of capable people now. Do you want to consider joining?
"
"You? Who else besides you?" Batman stepped forward and asked.
