Chapter 1151: Children, Drawing Blood, and Resurrected Ninjas

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

New York had been lively for the past few days as the Stark Expo drew people from all over the world.

But Luke and Selina lived very peacefully.

Foggy had already set up the renovation company, and Luke had invested in it.

Now, the old hands and a dozen or so temp workers had already started to receive information from Little Snail. They ran through the streets and alleys of Manhattan to pull in business.

Bent Bennett, a former employee of the Department of Defense, was now a special researcher at the New Hope Research Center in Nassau County. He worked at his own pace, the budget was his alone and he didn’t have to wrangle with anybody.

Luke had chosen the name New Hope after much consideration. It was the new hope from his previous life.

Luke hoped that the technology in this lab would be like the livestock raised on a farm: they went in small and skinny, and came out plump and fair.

Then there was Mindy, who got along with Monica and Nikki like a house on fire.

Monica lived in Harlem. The three girls actually didn’t live far from each other, and getting around wasn’t troublesome.

Usually, the three of them would go to Nikki’s house to fight, and Nikki would then drive them home.

Now that she had new friends, Mindy didn’t have time to visit Gold Nugget recently.

It was only at nine that night that Luke left with Selina and Gold Nugget.

“Are you sure it’s an important base for the Hand?” Selina asked behind him.

Luke knew that she just found it boring to crawl through the sewers, so he said casually, “I caught two ninjas in red on camera going in and out, and carrying things. Given the Hand’s temperament, there’s no way they’re moving bricks.”

Selina asked, “What do you think is inside?”

Luke said, “According to Little Snail’s calculations, it’s probably people.”

Selina found that odd. “I don’t think the Hand is involved in human trafficking, right? At least, our files don’t show that.”

Luke said, “That’s right. That’s why I’m curious about who they’re bringing inside.”

As they chatted, they climbed out of the sewers.

In a small alley, the armor’s smell removal system was activated, and mist rose up in the darkness. Then, it was silent once more.

The two people and one dog headed straight for their destination, an old building by the river in Manhattan.

The three of them didn’t linger outside. Luke entered from the front while Selina and Gold Nugget blocked the back door.

The moment they entered, they felt that something was wrong.

It was too quiet here, and the place didn’t look like it was occupied.

Except for signs in the hallways, it was clear that there wasn’t any other movement in the place, which was covered in dust.

For a stronghold, this was very unusual.

A moment later, Luke reached the sixth floor at the top. He entered a room and frowned.

In the room, more than ten kids were locked in metal cages with tubes attached to them.

The tubes weren’t injecting any liquid into the kids. Instead, the tubes were extracting their blood, which was collected in glass jars before the blood was poured into what looked like a cross between a stone coffin and a big bottle.

Luke’s face darkened.

This wasn’t anything good.

The lenses quickly confirmed the identities of two or three kids. They didn’t have any criminal records, but were ordinary civilians with proper profiles.

More and more kids were identified, and it was the same for more than half of them.

Luke snorted coldly and his hand brushed against his waist before his arm suddenly swung out.

Two bat darts spun and silently disappeared into the darkness.

Two ninjas in red fell from high corners and hit the ground hard.

Luke canceled his stealth mode in the darkness outside the door. His black cape dropped down and his eyes glowed red.

He had come in the Batman suit today with no intention of killing anyone, but this scene infuriated him.

Batman didn’t kill people, but these ninjas weren’t human.

After they fell, there was still no system notification.

Luke walked over and picked up the two bodies.

The armor’s detection function was activated, and the data generated was very abnormal.

Grimly, he tore open the shirt of one ninja, only to see a distinct “Y” cut on the man’s chest.

Luke immediately tore open the other ninja’s shirt and found another Y-shaped cut on his chest.

Narrowing his eyes, he stood up and stored the two bodies in Space 1.

System: Kill two of the Hand’s resurrected ninjas. Mission accomplished.

Total experience: 3,000. Total credit: 3,000.

Contribution rate: 100%. EXP +3,000. Credit +3,000.

Luke sneered. Interesting.

The only things that could be stored in Space 1 were dead things, like dead people or dead animals and bugs.

There was no notification that the two ninjas had been killed, which meant that they weren’t dead. However, their “bodies” could be stored in Space 1.

Only after the bodies were put away did the system send out the kill notification.

The sequence was reversed. Coupled with the “resurrected ninjas” in the system notification, a lot of information had come to light.

However, Luke didn’t want to dwell on it for the time being. There were still over ten children who were being drained of blood.

Rescuing people was what Batman should do.

Luke returned with a first aid kit.

Tearing off the latches on the cages, he took out the IV tubes from the kids, stopped the bleeding, and bandaged the wounds. The armor’s detection function never stopped reporting the kids’ physical conditions.

Their lives weren’t in danger for now, but who knew if it would stay that way.

A warning came through from Selina. “Something’s wrong. I called the police, and their cars are on their way, but people from the Hand are here too.”

Looking at the group of ninjas in red approaching from the dark alley, Luke sneered. “It’s fine. You and Hellhound don’t move. Leave them to me.”

As he spoke, he walked out of the room and stood in the hallway outside.

He didn’t activate the stealth function and simply stood there quietly.

Suddenly, there was the sound of rushing wind on the right side of the hallway, and a dozen shurikens spun out of the darkness.

Luke swiped at his waist, and a series of bat darts were sent out like a swarm of bats.

Clinks ran out in the air as the shurikens were deflected by the bat darts, which then flew at strange angles and disappeared down both sides of the hallway.

There was a series of dull thuds, followed by the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground. There were no screams.

It was quiet once more on the right side of the hallway.

Luke looked to the right, as if he could see through the darkness.

The next moment, he disappeared into thin air.. It was as if a strong wind had swept through the hallway, kicking up dust to cover the right side.
