The defense system of Arkham Asylum was generally acceptable, but it was more focused on defending against internal threats than external ones.
Getting in was easy, getting out was difficult!
Of course, there was also an important reason: poverty!
There was no money to strengthen defense forces, no money to hire more security.
Although organizations like Wayne Group and the city hall would provide funding, it was just a drop in the bucket.
Maintaining the status quo was fine, but forget about anything else.
After all, Arkham Asylum was different from other prisons.
Criminals in other prisons had to work and create huge profits for the prison; otherwise, there wouldn't be so many private prisons.
But Arkham Asylum couldn't do that.
The number of ordinary criminals was too large, and they all had mental problems.
While they could work, they couldn't create much profit, and more personnel had to be hired to watch them.
As for higher-level criminals like Calendar Man and Riddler, setting aside whether they would cooperate, even if they did, no one would dare to truly let them out to work.
Therefore, Arkham Asylum had no ability to sustain itself and could only rely on external funding, which also led to the inability to upgrade its security forces and defense system.
When something happened, they could only rely on Batman!
Of course, this situation would change soon.
After all, Arkham Asylum was now surnamed Su.
Before, Samuel was busy with the Birds of Prey and Dream Prison matters and hadn't had time to deal with it.
It wouldn't be long before Arkham Asylum's defense system would be completely revamped.
Returning to the present, this time's intruder could barely be considered an acquaintance.
Helena before was a first meeting; this one had met him once.
"Bang!"
An agile figure jumped into Arkham Asylum.
Just as she raised her head and stood up, she froze.
A golden portal appeared strangely not far in front of her.
The portal was brightly lit inside, and a man was sitting on a sofa with his legs crossed, surrounded by various beautiful women.
Nightshade, Firehawk, Copperhead, Poison Ivy, Enchantress, Killer Frost, and so on—
With one glance, not only were there plump and slender figures, but they also each had abilities!
Katana couldn't understand why Samuel could subdue them so easily!
Even if Samuel was powerful enough to make them bow down, he couldn't guarantee their loyalty, could he?
If they were truly so easily loyal to someone, Amanda Waller wouldn't have bothered with the Suicide Squad plan!
But now that it was Samuel, whether it was Poison Ivy, Killer Frost, and the others who were taken away at the very beginning, or Firehawk and Nightshade and the others who were later taken away from Dream Prison, they didn't show any reluctance at all!
Samuel raised his hand and summoned the Soulstealer Katana that had dropped from the system from the cabinet.
"Are You here to steal it?" Samuel asked Katana with a smile.
Katana said in a deep voice: "It was originally mine. I'm just taking back what belongs to me."
"Yours?"
"Call out to it and see if it answers?"
Samuel threw the Soulstealer to Katana.
Katana neatly and accurately caught the Soulstealer and communicated with it in a low voice, full of confidence.
"How could this happen? Why are the souls in the Soulstealer gone?"
A moment later, Katana looked up at Samuel in surprise: "This isn't mine!"
Samuel waved his hand, and another Soulstealer flew over.
Holding the Soulstealer, Samuel's mouth slightly curved up.
He swung his palm and lightly slapped the blade.
"Bang!"
Streaks of light flew out from the Soulstealer, transforming into humanoid souls.
"These are the souls trapped in the Soulstealer! You, You can actually release them?!" Katana shouted out in horror.
Others didn't know, but she was very clear that the Soulstealer Katana was forged in the fourteenth century and could seal the souls of enemies.
The user could also communicate with the sealed souls.
But because of the seal, the user, which was her, could only communicate with the souls sealed within the blade when holding the Soulstealer Katana.
It was absolutely impossible to slap the souls out directly like Samuel did!
Katana was shocked, and Samuel was also surprised.
Why?
Because Samuel found that Katana was only shocked, not excited, and didn't specifically search for or look at a certain soul.
Something was a bit off about this!
Why say that? Because Katana's husband's soul should be in the Soulstealer Katana!
Regardless of comics or movies, Katana's origin story is largely the same. She is a married woman, and the Soultaker Katana was originally her husband's collection. After her husband died, she used the Soultaker Katana to avenge him, and therefore, her husband's soul is also in the Soultaker Katana.
Aside from the comics, there are also scenes in the Suicide Squad movie where Katana communicates with her husband through the Soultaker Katana.
But now, it seems there is no Katana's husband among the souls sealed in the Soultaker Katana, otherwise her reaction shouldn't be like this.
In other words, the 'story' about Katana has changed.
Butterfly effect?
The only one who could cause a butterfly effect in this World should be himself, but he doesn't seem to have done anything that could affect Katana or the Soultaker Katana!
Samuel was momentarily curious and directly released his Mind Manipulation Ability.
"Buzz!"
The Mind Manipulation Ability surged into Katana's mind, and Samuel quickly reviewed her memories.
A moment later, he already knew the reason.
This matter is indeed related to him!
Although not directly related, it was indirectly influenced by him!
Simply put, Katana's Soultaker Katana did not come from her husband.
She doesn't have a husband now, let alone a husband, she's never even had a boyfriend!
This Soultaker Katana is Diana's!
Yes, Diana!
To be honest, Samuel really didn't expect Diana to be involved with Katana, after all, Katana mainly deals with the Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey, and the Outsiders, at most adding Batman.
But many things are just that coincidental, or perhaps the power of the butterfly effect is just that incredible.
Diana and Cheetah have been searching for Asteria, and during this period, they reportedly bought quite a few items related to Asteria, including this Soultaker Katana.
Of course, the Soultaker Katana has nothing to do with Asteria, they just didn't know it when they bought it.
At that time, they happened to encounter Katana who was in trouble, so they lent her the Soultaker Katana.
Later, when Katana wanted to find them to return the sword, they had already left.
For Diana and Cheetah, although Katana is special, she is just that. As for the value, they are not short of this money, so they didn't care.
Since then, the Soultaker Katana has been in Katana's hands, and she has also made a name for herself as Katana because of it.
