Chapter 84: Children's Works Lack Logic
"Don't underestimate this vacuum cleaner."
Jung Eun could tell what they were thinking at a glance. Although this thing looked childish, in a sense, the props in children's works were much better than those in general works.
Children's works don't care about logic.
[Virus Vacuum Cleaner]
[A medical device resembling a vacuum cleaner can suck out viruses from the body like dust, allowing patients to return to their original state.]
Jung Eun knew that fear gas wasn't a virus, but props could be stacked.
[Fuse Modification Attempts x1 (Can be applied to special items)]
[Can be used on two items simultaneously to fuse and modify them; when used on a single item, it can also greatly enhance its functionality.]
Unlike the virus vacuum cleaner, the latter was an item he obtained from daily gacha pulls, but he had been hesitant about where to use it and had never used it before.
[Fusion Modification Times] is a relatively special item type in the shop, available in gray, white, and purple.
The lowest-level gray card has a random effect; it can turn trash into treasure or treasure into trash, and its use is limited to ordinary items. Better white cards eliminate the possibility of turning treasure into trash and are modified based on the original function of the item.
The highest-grade purple card, when used, can not only make the two fused and modified items have a synergistic effect greater than the sum of their parts, but it can also produce a considerable positive effect when used on a single item.
After using [Fusion Modification Times x1] on the Virus Vacuum Cleaner, the item's description changed.
[Negative Status Vacuum Cleaner]
[A medical instrument resembling a vacuum cleaner, after modification and upgrade, can absorb and remove any abnormal conditions, promoting the patient's recovery.]
Perhaps for ease of movement, the vacuum cleaner had two straps attached to the back. Zheng En carried the vacuum cleaner on his back like a schoolbag, which surprised Jason and Batman.
The former is manifested in actions, while the latter is internalized in the heart.
Is this toy-like thing the solution the other party came up with?
Batman couldn't understand it, just as he couldn't understand how Jung Eun had pulled such a large vacuum cleaner out of his sleeve.
He has excellent eyesight and is unlikely to miss subtle movements due to being distracted. Skilled in various escape techniques and possessing a certain understanding of magic tricks, he knows perfectly well that the sleeve is a target and the vacuum cleaner appeared out of thin air.
Thanks to his childhood friend, who is deeply knowledgeable about magic and works as a magician, Batman can distinguish between magic and sorcery.
However, Jung Eun-ro's move didn't seem to have anything to do with magic.
Batman squinted, trying to figure out what he was up to.
Zheng En picked up the vacuum cleaner and walked towards the Batmobile. The big guy who was tied up tightly in the car had actually passed out, but he was still muttering like a sleepwalker, and his hands and feet were still waving.
It's easy to imagine how fiercely it would have struggled if it hadn't been knocked unconscious, let alone been brought here.
Zheng En sighed, pressed the switch, lifted the nozzle, and the vacuum cleaner started up with a buzzing sound.
Batman watched from the side, and he didn't know if it was just his imagination, but he felt as if some indescribable thing was being sucked in along with the air.
As the vacuum cleaner was turned on, Jason was surprised to find that the big guy actually quieted down. By the time Zheng En turned off the vacuum cleaner, the big guy was no longer moving.
He happily leaned forward and used his hand to check the big guy's breathing; the slight snoring made him completely relieved.
"Honestly, you're such a tempting eater!"
He poked the big guy's belly, then ran over to Zheng En and looked at it curiously, "Is this really a vacuum cleaner?"
Can a vacuum cleaner really be used to treat illnesses?
Even homeless children know that vacuum cleaners have nothing to do with curing diseases, but Jung Eun said it was a vacuum cleaner, so it was a vacuum cleaner.
Jason knew that Zheng En had some extraordinary qualities, such as glasses that made him unrecognizable and an umbrella that could stop bullets, but a vacuum cleaner that could cure diseases was something he had never seen before.
"Of course, this is a vacuum cleaner that can suck up viruses like dust."
Under Batman's probing gaze, Zheng En remained unfazed. "Viruses, bacteria, poison gas—anything that harms the human body can be absorbed. As for the principle, it's probably just the children's wild ideas. After all, the props in children's works are just so illogical."
The second half was specifically for Batman. Seeing his increasingly inquisitive expression, Zheng En wasn't sure if he had taken it all in, but he figured the ABCD chart was definitely going to work. He hoped it hadn't evolved to Z yet, otherwise he was afraid there wouldn't be enough letters.
After rescuing the person, Batman had no intention of staying any longer.
He came here mainly to get the problematic candy, and bringing the two children along was just a side trip.
He remembered those homeless guys who hung out with Zheng En. After the big guy nearly crashed into the Batmobile, causing him to brake suddenly, Batman actually wanted to take them to the hospital.
But those children didn't trust him, and they didn't trust the hospital either.
Their similar attire made it easy to tell that they were a group of friends. Several children were protecting their mentally unstable companion behind them. Some of them were draped in large pieces of cloth to disguise themselves as ghosts. Some of the cloth fell to the ground as they ran, but when they stared at him, their eyes revealed the same unwavering determination.
Especially the child standing at the very front, whose eyes were so fierce they looked like a wolf cub ready to tear flesh apart.
Batman remembers the boy's name as Jason, Jason Todd.
I feel like I've seen this somewhere before.
"He needs to go to the hospital."
The gruff voice made the children even more wary, and Jason retorted bluntly, "No! He doesn't need to!"
Batman: "He needs it."
In the short time it took to talk, the big guy was about to run away again. He broke free from Casey and Toothless, who were holding his left and right arms, and pulled away Smart Egg, who was holding his waist.
The boy with the missing tooth yelled at Jason, "Grab him!"
Jason turned around in surprise, but Batman was faster than him.
The big guy was considered large among the many homeless children, much larger than Jason and the others.
But compared to Batman, this size is nothing. He is 188cm tall, and with his boots and hood, he is nearly two meters tall when he wears his armor. The big guy looks like a chick next to him, and you can grab him and not move him.
The massive man, whom even three children couldn't catch, was captured by Batman. They were wary, fearful, and helpless.
Batman looked at them and quickly changed his mind.
"If you don't want to go to the hospital, I'll take you to find Jean."
