Chapter 001: Identity

The second crossing was not really much different from the first.

Both were accomplished in sleep.

As soon as Wang Bo opened his eyes, he found that he had left the mummy world and entered a brand new world.

But this time, Wang Bo did not wake up in a prison, but in a bedroom that looked very luxurious. To be honest, the luxury of this bedroom was not inferior to the manor Wang Bo had bought in the mummy world.

This astonished Wang Bo.

What the hell is going on? Why did I wake up in this place?

At first he thought he would wake up in the wilderness, or on the side of the road.

This is precisely the host's welfare.

"Perks?" Wang Bo's eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly.

That's right, every time a formal host enters a new world, they randomly obtain an identity. You must understand that in many worlds, being undocumented makes it impossible to get by; an identity is enough to save you a great deal of time.

“By the way, the identity you obtain is actually real—I just used a certain method to have you replace this person. Only then will the identity you acquire leave no loopholes.”

Wang Bo nodded involuntarily. Yes, only those living in the modern world truly understand the importance of an identity. Especially in one's own country, even accessing the internet or checking into a hotel requires an ID card, and even phone numbers are registered under real names—this shows just how crucial an identity is.

Being an unregistered person, a "black household," indeed makes it impossible to get by—nothing is convenient.

"It seems I've obtained quite a good identity," Wang Bo said, looking around the bedroom. The spacious room was luxuriously decorated, filled with high-end furniture.

From this, it was clear that the identity Wang Bo had obtained was by no means an ordinary one.

“Host, I’m not entirely sure what identity you’ve obtained—it’s random—but when you concentrate, you’ll receive the relevant information.”

Wang Bo listened, nodded, and concentrated his mind as the other had said.

Sure enough, a thread of information surfaced from within his own mind about himself.

My current identity is... a thug under Carmine Falcone.

Wang Bo was instantly dumbfounded.

Who is Carmine Falcone, that one of his thugs can live in such a nice house?

Could this guy be the richest man in the world?

But soon, Wang Bo received more information.

Carmine Falcone was not the richest man in the world, nor even the richest in America, but he was notorious, one of Gotham City's famous crime bosses.

Wait, Gotham City?

Wang Bo rubbed his temples, feeling that he seemed to have arrived at a very remarkable place.

This so-called Gotham City—could it be the very Gotham City of 'simple folk, talents abound in Arkham'?

So that means I've come to the Batman world?

No, no, no, it's still too early to be sure. Maybe the world I've come to isn't the Batman universe—what if it's the DC universe instead?

Batman, Superman, The Flash, Wonder Woman, Cyborg, Steppenwolf, Darkseid... Holy shit, could I really have come to such a dangerous world?

But soon, Wang Bo dismissed this possibility.

Because from his own identity, he had obtained more information.

First of all, in this world, Wang Bo was called Adam Wang, a half-Chinese, half-Westerner who grew up in Gotham City and later joined Carmine's family, becoming a member of it.

The reason he wanted to join Carmine's family was that Carmine Falcone was extremely powerful.

This guy's nickname is "the Roman," known for his ruthlessness and expansionism.

The gangster system he single-handedly ran was often called the 'Roman Empire'.

Falcone effectively controlled all of Gotham City, colluding with the mayor, the city council, and Police Commissioner Killian B. Loeb.

Therefore, in Gotham City, no one dared to oppose Carmine.

Anyone who opposed Carmine was either dead or insane.

In Gotham City, this guy could absolutely be said to have the power to cover the sky with one hand.

Seven years ago, Bruce Wayne, the young master of Gotham City's Wayne Enterprises, stormed into Carmine Falcone's stronghold, the Iceberg Lounge, and openly taunted Carmine.

Bruce Wayne told Carmine that he was not afraid of him.

But he was severely taught a lesson by Carmine and driven out of his lair.

And from that day on, Bruce Wayne never appeared again.

Many people suspected that the young master of Wayne Enterprises had been secretly eliminated by Carmine.

It was after hearing this that Adam Wang decided to join Carmine's family, and within just seven years, relying on his own ruthless drive, he became a core enforcer of the Carmine family.

Now he was qualified to live in Carmine's manor, protecting Carmine Falcone's safety day and night.

It was precisely based on this piece of information that Wang Bo confirmed that the world he was in was not the DC main universe.

Rather, it is the world of The Dark Knight Trilogy.

In this world, Batman is the protagonist.

This is a world that belongs only to Batman and his enemies.

So this world has no Metropolis, no Superman, no Central City and no Flash, and certainly no Amazon or Wonder Woman.

This put Wang Bo at ease, at least this world was not as dangerous as he had imagined.

And he knew very well that the missing Bruce Wayne was not dead, but alive, and was now being trained by Ra's al Ghul. When he returned, it would be the time he transformed into Batman.

【Host, since you have successfully integrated into this world, I won't disturb you anymore. I'll go attend to my own matters first. Contact me after you find the time-traveler of this world. Bye-bye】

"Wait, I still have something to ask you." Wang Bo called out instinctively.

However, there was no response.

Clearly, his external aid had already left.

Bang, bang, bang...

Just then, a knock suddenly sounded at the door.

Wang Bo had no choice but to abandon the idea of contacting the other party. He opened the door with a composed expression. A man in a suit stood at the entrance, and upon seeing Wang Bo open the door, he said directly, "Adam, how did you sleep last night?"

"Not bad," Wang Bo said in a steady voice, while a piece of information was fed back in his mind.

The man standing at the door was Leonardo, a very literary name, but like Adam, he was one of Carmine Falcone's core enforcers.

In terms of status, he was even a bit higher than Adam.

He could be considered Adam's direct superior.

Moreover, this fellow's character was utterly at odds with his rather literary name; he could be described as ruthless, insane, and a killer who never batted an eye, and he himself was utterly loyal to Carmine Falcone.

It is a very loyal dog.

As long as it was Carmine Falcone's order, he could bring himself to kill even infants or pregnant women.

At least Adam couldn't do that.

Now with Wang Bo, it was even more impossible.

"Let's go, Adam, we're going to eat. Mr. Carmine will be getting up soon."

Wang Bo nodded. As Carmine's bodyguard and thug, their job was not easy: every day they had to finish breakfast before Carmine got up.

They also had to continue patrolling after Carmine went to sleep.

However, Wang Bo did not patrol last night because he had the day off, but tonight he must patrol to ensure the safety of Carmine Falcone.

If any slightest accident occurred, without Carmine having to say a word, this Leonardo would tear him to pieces.

Of course, that was before.

Now, ten Leonardos would be no match for Wang Bo.
