The recent explosion had drawn everyone into combat, and the notifications for drop rewards sounded one after another in Samuel's mind.
Yes, Samuel was here too!
After learning Joker's location from Barbara Gordon, Harley Quinn first returned to find Samuel.
Samuel lent her the Bat-cycle and also gave her a Wakanda Vibranium spear.
In the movie, Harley Quinn used the weapon Javelin after Suicide Squad member 'Javelin' Gunter Braun died, achieving considerable results.
Samuel had originally thought this 'Killing Joke Incident' would be a confrontation between the two Batmen, Joker, and Harley Quinn, but unexpectedly, Amanda Waller brought the Suicide Squad in and intervened.
If you don't have the ability to flip the table, don't go to just any occasion!
Samuel hadn't even gone to find her yet, and she actually took the initiative to poach Barbara Gordon, whom he favored.
She was truly courting death!
Although Samuel hadn't interacted much with Barbara Gordon, Harley Quinn had a strong bond with her.
If he wasn't interested in Barbara Gordon, why would he have Harley Quinn specifically bring a computer over?
Was it just so Barbara Gordon could see the photos on the computer?
He had originally thought that since Dream Prison had the Suicide Squad, he could create a Birds of Prey team, or rather, a real Suicide Squad, in Arkham Asylum.
After all, with the ability to infinitely farm Dionysus Factor like nesting dolls, a team that couldn't die carrying out suicide missions—that's what a Suicide Squad should be, right?
Amanda Waller's Suicide Squad was purely a waste of resources!
In the comics, Barbara Gordon formed the Birds of Prey, while in the movie, it was Harley Quinn.
Now they could be combined.
Samuel was quite looking forward to this Birds of Prey team, this real Suicide Squad.
Especially with Amanda Waller's Suicide Squad competing against his own team, it should be very interesting!
Now that Amanda Waller had poached Barbara Gordon, the game plan would change!
After Batman left carrying the unconscious James Gordon, Black Knight Batman, who had been hiding in the shadows, also quietly departed.
Originally, the two of them had planned for one to rescue James Gordon and the other to capture Joker, but upon arriving and finding Amanda Waller's people there, they changed their plan.
Batman appeared alone, while Black Knight Batman remained hidden in the shadows just in case.
Speaking of which, Batman is truly Batman.
Even though the Suicide Squad had the circus tent closely watched, and Copperhead and Black Spider were nearby, no one managed to discover when Batman had arrived or when he had infiltrated the circus tent!
Barbara Gordon didn't notice either, but she knew Batman would definitely come, which was why she had the Suicide Squad wait!
Similarly, Joker in the tent also knew Batman would come, so when Batman threw James Gordon out of the tent, he decisively activated the prepared bomb!
Joker's decisiveness was somewhat unexpected for Batman; there was no small talk, no interaction, completely unlike his usual style.
Most importantly, as Batman turned and leaped out, he noticed that Joker's eyes weren't chaotic and crazy like before; instead, they held an extreme calmness!
Batman and Black Knight Batman rendezvoused at the Batwing nearby.
Black Knight Batman told Batman that this matter might be related to Samuel, as he recognized the Bat-cycle Harley Quinn was riding as the one Samuel had taken from him.
"I understand.
I'll leave Commissioner Gordon to you."
Batman handed James Gordon to Black Knight Batman and turned back towards the abandoned amusement park.
But when he returned, he found that everyone was gone!
Whether it was Harley Quinn or Amanda Waller's people, they had all disappeared!
It had only been a few minutes, had they evacuated that quickly?
Moreover, there seemed to be no signs of fighting or struggle at the scene, which greatly puzzled Batman.
After checking the scene again and finding nothing, Batman turned and left.
Equally puzzled were Barbara Gordon and Amanda Waller in the hospital!
The Suicide Squad's communication had suddenly cut off.
Whether it was the comms channel or the remote bomb chip button, everything was dead, with no response...
The satellite footage also didn't reveal any useful clues.
The only useful image was that everyone at the explosion site suddenly disappeared in an instant.
As for how they disappeared?
Where did they go?
Only three words could answer: Don't know!
Where did they go?
They didn't go anywhere, they were still in the same spot.
Even when Batman returned just now, they were here the whole time, seeing his every move clearly.
But—Batman couldn't see them!
"What, what exactly is going on?
Why are we clearly here, but Batman seems unable to see us, and we can't touch him either?"
Captain Boomerang said his guess in a trembling voice: "Are we—are we already dead?"
Black Spider shook his head and said: "Impossible.
I don't feel anything unusual with my body.
Oh, except for that impact earlier, it still hurts."
"I support Black Spider's statement, we're not dead!
If we were dead, turned into ghosts or spirits, where are our bodies?
There are no bodies here, and Batman didn't find our bodies either."
Killer Frost's logical analysis made everyone instinctively nod in agreement.
She turned to look at Poison Ivy.
Only she and Poison Ivy in the team possessed special abilities, and Poison Ivy's ability to control plants could be more effective in the current situation.
Poison Ivy understood her meaning and shook her head, saying: "I've already tried.
There are no plants here.
I suspect that for some reason, we are in a sort of overlapping space that seems real but isn't!"
"We are here, and also not here!"
Copperhead frowned and said: "What does that mean?"
"It means that we and Batman are in different spaces within the same place.
We can see him but can't touch him; he can't see us or hear our voices, but we are in the same place!"
As Poison Ivy finished speaking, a soft clapping sound suddenly rang out.
Everyone instinctively looked around, then suddenly realized and, sensing something, looked up at the sky.
In mid-air, a person was strangely sitting cross-legged, gently clapping their hands with a smile.
