After Batman accessed the network of this universe, he searched for a lot of information about Barbatos, but he knew that the information that could be found online was only the tip of the iceberg. If he wanted to go deeper, he could only consult professionals.
He wrote down what Constantine said about the researchers at Oxford University. He had never heard that Oxford University had a major that specialized in the study of mysticism.
The mysterious sacrificial square that appeared underground made Batman greatly alert. No matter who the four pillars of gods were above, they had already appeared in the universe, which proved that they were not far away when they took action.
The plan in Batman's mind begins to take shape.
After the dark energy in the green body of all things was expelled, he gradually calmed down, and then he was almost frightened to death by his recklessness and hastiness. How could he forget that this is Gotham? Gotham is the most famous weird place among the three worlds and five elements.
land.
In fact, when Pamela found the Green of All Things in order to study plants that could survive in Gotham, the Green of All Things had investigated this city, but he found that this place indeed refused the intrusion of all green elements. It was not that anyone had established a rule for this place.
What kind of barrier, but it seems that this place has been occupied by something.
Now that I think about it, I'm afraid this weird city is the stronghold of that damn dark dragon in the universe. Barbatos can be considered as allowing me to catch you.
After thinking about this, the Green of All Things stopped being entangled. After all, when he first came here, he encountered such a series of irritating things. He wanted to fight and happened to encounter the gathering of dark forces underground. How could there be such a coincidence in the world? This is not it.
Did he reveal the trap that Barbatos had prepared for him? The fool also knew that he should not stay here for a long time.
The green of all things turned around and wanted to leave, but as I said, the atmosphere has already been laid here, is it so easy to leave?
When Schiller gave Nick a look, everyone knew that their good doctor was back. When Nick gave Strange a look, everyone knew that the matter might not be rectified today.
When Loki was gone, everyone knew that this matter was probably just the beginning.
Sure enough, there was a loud bang in the sky, and thunder appeared. There was a crack of thunder in the sky over Gotham North District, and after a bright crack in space lit up, a hammer fell like a meteor, followed closely by a strong figure.
.
"Loki, you damn liar!!!"
The roar echoed over the northern manor area. The power of Mjolnir, Thor's hammer, remained unabated after it fell. The lightning flashed. Countless rays of bright electric light flew out along the center of the fall, destroying the manor almost instantly.
The area burned to ashes.
The furious Thor did not hesitate to give in. He waved the hammer like crazy, and the human buildings were as brittle as paper in his hands. In a few flashes of lightning, the gorgeous manor was instantly destroyed.
The gang boss who was standing on the ground watching the excitement was dumbfounded. I heard that someone’s house was on fire. I went over and saw, it’s my house! It’s my house!
Standing alone by the window in the corridor on the second floor, Alberto looked at the electric light and firelight in the distance, with only a cold expression on his face. He took the lady next to him and kissed her gently on the forehead.
"Doesn't it matter?"
"You'll be fine if you stay here."
Then he looked out the window and said: "This farce that has lasted for fifty years should end. We will eventually sink to the bottom of the river of history and drown silently."
Previously, the great monarch Vandal Savage carried out a wave of wild consumption in Gotham. In addition to allowing a large amount of funds to flow into the hands of Wayne Group, the most important thing is that the antiques in Savage's hands flowed in.
Art market.
At that time, the gangsters were actually making the most money. They had not completely washed their hands and came ashore. The logistics industry had just developed. With both gangsters and white gangsters using their methods, money seemed to fall from the sky.
It's a pity that people can never make money beyond their own knowledge. Gangsters are gangsters. Even if you put on the filter of the times, you can only say that the wisdom of twelve families is the same, and the old godfather monopolizes eight buckets. There is no long-term vision and no great ideas.
How can people who have no wisdom, faith or path not be deceived by pie-in-the-sky pie?
Money comes so easily, and you don’t feel bad when you spend it. The gang bosses dominate the art and luxury goods markets, and they take pictures of those seemingly precious and worthy of showing off treasures at crazy prices one after another.
I never thought about antiques from prosperous times and gold from troubled times. Once their prosperous times pass, these antiques with only historical value will be fragile and vulnerable.
Exchanging a large amount of working capital for antiques means that they have almost no way to spend money to increase production. The crazier they are, the sooner they will be eliminated. It can be said that the remaining gangsters are already relatively smart.
Already.
The second screening is to clean up and go ashore. In fact, at the beginning of the music festival, a small number of gang bosses have realized that the gang's methods are not only becoming less effective, but also becoming a stumbling block.
After the initial order of society is restored, certain criminal acts will cause greater trouble. To put it in perspective, they are excitedly inspecting the location of a new small commodity processing factory when a subordinate calls and says that so-and-so
Another serious fire broke out in a street. Not only did forty or fifty thugs die, but more than 100 workers were also implicated. Who doesn't have high blood pressure?
When the small commodities with Gotham cultural attributes are put on sale in the early stage of the music festival, they are completely money printing machines. Having a factory is equivalent to one more money printing machine, and if a factory is affected, hundreds of thousands of dollars will be lost in a day.
.
However, gangs have always relied on violence and power to survive. It's not just that you won't fight if you say you won't. The other party will provoke you. As long as you are still a gangster, you cannot seek justice from the law and can only fight back on your own.
But fighting back would be a waste of manpower and material resources, and would affect production. James Gordon doesn't tolerate your faults. He makes too much noise and affects too many people. He will just find a fire-fighting reason and seal your factory.
If you want to seek justice from the police station through violent means, there is really no need to do anything.
Therefore, although a small number of smart and courageous gang bosses still maintain their identity as the leader of the twelve family gangs and respect Falcone, they have actually invested the money they earned in legal industries.
As of the opening of the music festival, a considerable amount of liquidity has been washed out.
In contrast, those gangster bosses who are not very sober are trapped in a vicious cycle. Everyone else eats meat, and he can't drink soup, so he naturally has to build a factory.
But they were used to being arrogant and domineering before, and they didn't know how to avoid their sharp edges. The land and money to build the factory were snatched away. When the factory was built, it was in good condition. After it was built, the enemies came and burned down the people and the house.
, there is nothing they can do.
But the more it fails, the more jealous the factory becomes. If others can make money, the more they have to find ways to rob others. However, the more you rob others, the more enemies you will attract, and the more you will fight, the more you will fight.
Today's Gotham is different from the past. With social order in place, the results of economic development can be tilted toward the lower classes, and ordinary people can obtain more legal employment opportunities.
Why would you go to the train station and set up a stall to sell cold noodles, why would you stick your head in your waistband and fight with others? You can sell a cold noodles for five dollars and get a thank you from tourists. If you die in a gang fight, you won't get any pension.
It must be at this price.
Most ordinary people have a natural wisdom of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages in life in the market. In essence, it is better to live than to die. No one wants to risk his life until the critical moment.
This has led to a large number of young people who should have entered the gang system at this moment to replenish the gang's thugs with fresh blood. They have chosen to change careers. If they have connections, they will find connections. If they don't, they will find opportunities. Selling something on the street is no better than joining a gang and shooting.
powerful?
In the eyes of outsiders, gang members are much cooler than street vendors, but Gotham locals have been disenchanted with gangs 10,000 years ago and are deeply aware of what a cruel and dark survival system it is, so as long as they get a little
The hope of being able to leave is really like the eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing his magical powers. If he can walk, he will walk. If he should run, he should run away.
This will lead to fewer and fewer people being recruited by orthodox gangs, but the more serious problem is that the price charged for a single person is getting higher and higher.
When everyone around them chooses to live in a social order and can earn a lot of money, then those desperadoes who plan to risk their lives will naturally have to weigh the value of their lives.
If I can't make as much as others working a nine-to-five job when I bet my life, then why don't I also sell cold skins?
Therefore, in the eyes of the gang bosses, their asking price can be called a lion's share of the bargain, and it is not settled on a weekly basis like before, with a monthly salary, but more like a fixed price for mercenaries.
Because the gang boss is busy with other things, there are fewer people willing to join the gang and the price is higher, so the selection has to be more careful, but there is no one else in the gang who can do this, so many headhunting organizations and middlemen have emerged, both sides
Eat the difference while cheating on these rich fools.
After Gotham's human resources turned into a complete buyer's market, the money in the hands of this group of gangsters who were not so clear-headed went out faster, but they didn't have the ability to calculate carefully. They were already very good at dealing with various enemies.
Exhausted.
As of the eve of the music festival, their liquidity has basically been spent, and the economy is on the verge of collapse.
But they still have one last hope. Although Savage failed to make any progress in Gotham, he is a real immortal, and the antiques in his hands are all real.
This era has not yet reached the period of the collapse of the capitalist bubble, and the global economy is stable, so there is still a certain market for antiques. As long as you can sell the antiques you have from auctions at low prices, you can quickly get them back.
Large sums of money.
But it is a pity that God was not kind, and Odin's messenger brought justice. After Thor broke away from the rift in space, he passed through a special passage and landed in the center of the headquarters of the Twelve Families.
What's even more coincidental is that thunder is a force that can completely ignore the resistance of physical media as long as it is powerful enough. In anger, Thor gave all manors and underground storage rooms a central flower, and the contents inside cannot be said to be intact.
, it can only be said that the voice and appearance are vivid.
