On the outskirts of the seaside city, the Hande family's small single-family villa.
"Same as last time, before I sensed it, it noticed me first and then chose to avoid it." Harley said with an ugly expression.
"Are you sure it's the existence with the power of black death encountered in sector 666?" Hal said solemnly.
"Can't you smell it?" Harley asked.
"Huh." Hal only took a breath, and his face wrinkled up like a bitter melon, "It stinks so much, it's all the smell of corpses, it's so unpleasant."
Then he looked from the dark blood stain at the door to the kitchen door and then to the two pools in the dining room.
He knelt down and picked up a lump of meat with his fingers. It was dark, smelly, rotten and rotten.
"Four people died here a long time ago. Judging from the degree of corruption of the residue, it probably looks like a giant." There was a disgusted look on his face.
"Are you sure you've been dead for a long time?" Harry raised his chin towards the dining table, "The carrot and beef soup is still steaming."
"The beef soup was left by the person who left just now, but four of them have died long ago. Well, that guy is a pervert, and he can actually eat and drink soup in such a stinky environment." Hal analyzed.
Harry looked around and asked: "This place is only 18 kilometers away from the center of the seaside city. There is a funeral parlor next door, 'Hande Funeral'. Do you know this 'fellow'?"
"Hand" Hal recalled for a moment, then his expression changed slightly and said, "I know whose home this is, the super villain of Beach City, William Hand, who calls himself 'Black Hand', this is the home of his parents."
Then, he told Harley the details of William Hand.
"Black hand necrophilia, black death power, emotional spectrum energy"
Harley suddenly realized, "So, the reason why the power of black death is an emotional energy is because it represents the persistence and fanaticism of living people towards death, decay, and darkness.
Death is a state, or the passing of a moment.
But the human experience of death can become an emotion."
"That makes sense." Hal nodded thoughtfully, "But we're not sure what Blackhand went through."
"Black Hand is your fan. Tell me in detail about his situation and your personal evaluation of him." Harley said.
Hal said awkwardly: "I actually don't know much about Black Hand. He doesn't have any superpowers himself. He can become a super villain only by a perverted uniform sewn with a black shroud and an alien weapon in the shape of a pen.
.
However, I know the Hand family.
Their family has been running a funeral home for generations.
The skill of decorating corpses with makeup has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is also well-known in the upper class circles of the seaside city.
When Carol's father passed away, it seemed that she asked Old Hand to help him deal with it.
Old Hande had three sons. In addition to the youngest son, the eldest son and the second son were also trained according to the instructions of the undertakers.
If the coastal city had not been destroyed, their family would have opened a branch in the south of the city by now."
Speaking of this, Hal couldn't help but sigh sadly, "The Hand family is also one of the few old friends who can stick to the seaside city."
"I'm asking you about William Hand's character and life. Why are you asking about his family history? Could it be that necrophilia is also inherited from ancestors?" Harley frowned.
"No, no!" Hal denied repeatedly, "Mr. Hand's professionalism and moral cultivation are very high. I respect him very much and believe he is a good person.
The only pervert is William Hand.
If it were him, he would definitely be able to endure spending a long time with corpses."
At this point, he looked startled and exclaimed: "Oh my God, are these four corpses the Hande couple and his two sons? William committed parricide?!"
"It is now confirmed that the power of black death is an emotional spectrum energy. Since it is emotional energy, has it formed its own army?" Harley asked.
"You mean, Blackhand was chosen by the lamp ring and became a lamp demon?" Hal asked in surprise.
"First use your information channels to check the situation of the Hand family. I think they died not long ago," said Harley.
"But the corpse oil on the ground doesn't lie."
Although Hal said this, he immediately used the lamp ring to search for relevant information about the Hand family.
Then his expression changed, "You are right, the vixen and the invisible girl came to see Mr. Hand yesterday."
"Buzz~~" His light ring projected a 21-inch communication window in mid-air.
"Didi didi" rang a few times, and a tall and fit black beauty appeared on the opposite side.
Although she is a black girl, she is really beautiful.
Hollywood star Halle Berry has an especially great figure, almost beyond her peak.
"Hi, Hal, oh, and Harley, hello!"
"Hello, Mary." Harry nodded gently.
Although she was not familiar with her, she had paid special attention to her because the vixen was also a "rare" favored by the gods.
Well, being favored by gods should be rare, but in recent years there seem to be quite a few heroes or villains favored by gods.
The spider god who bestowed the female tiger with divine power is also a practitioner of the power of nature who is in the same sect as Ivy: Ivy masters the power of all things in the power of nature, and the spider god is the red of all living beings.
Vixen is equivalent to a minimalist version of Animal Man, able to communicate with animals and borrow and fuse the powers of various animals.
Hal quickly explained the situation on their side.
"I did meet Mr. Hand's family yesterday, regarding the matter of 'Black Hand' William Hand. Several months have passed since the secret society case, and only some third-rate villains have not been arrested - they have not paid the price for their past crimes.
"Black Beauty Mary gritted her teeth.
“However, the Hand family firmly denies that ‘Black Hand’ is their relative William Hand. They say that William Hand is just missing and not the villain ‘Black Hand’.
Obviously, they are protecting their sons and brothers.
But I can also confirm that they do not know the whereabouts of William Hand.
So after leaving our contact information, Cindy (Invisible Woman) and I left."
"Wait a moment." Hal hurriedly knelt down and used the light ring to analyze the corpse mud on the ground.
Two minutes later, he sighed: "The deceased are indeed the Hand family. Mary, where are you now? It sounds a bit noisy."
"Paris, is attending a fashion show." Vixen said.
In addition to being a superhero, she is also an internationally renowned model.
"Be careful in the past few days. The darkest night may be coming." Hal said in a low voice.
"Darkest Night" the vixen's expression changed, "What is the specific crisis and who is the enemy?"
"There are traces of four corpses appearing here, but the corpses are missing, and the power of black death is related to death." Hal pondered: "I doubt they can move on their own and become zombies or zombies?
I'm not sure, but I have an ominous feeling in my heart.
You are the last person to see them. Ghosts often come looking for you, so there is nothing wrong with being careful. I will try my best to find out about this matter."
Gotham.
The stars are dim and the night is as cold as water.
The ancient manor was so quiet that even standing in the garden outside the window, one could hear the fierce breathing of the male and female owners inside.
After a long sigh, Selena grabbed her husband, who turned over and was about to get out of bed, "What are you doing?"
"You go to bed first, I'll go to the Batcave to take a look." Bruce said.
"Dick is on duty tonight, and Damian and Jason are with you. What else do you need to worry about?" Selina didn't let go.
Bruce adopted two adopted sons. The eldest, Dick Grayson, was born in the circus. When he was fourteen, he witnessed the murder of his parents, which reminded Bruce of himself. He took him to Wayne Manor and made him an adopted son.
Jason Todd, the second young man, was a street libertine in Gotham. He was caught red-handed stealing the tires of the Batmobile, and he resisted with all his strength when faced with Bateman.
Bruce saw a bit of the girl Harley in him, and thought he was like the Godfather of Gotham. In order to prevent him from going astray, he adopted him as an adopted son and took him with him to educate him personally.
He also has his biological son Damian.
After several years of experience, the three sons have developed great skills and are able to stand alone. Dick even wants to fly solo.
Bruce's affairs in Gotham have become much easier.
"Dick and the others are patrolling tonight. I'm not worried about anything going on in Gotham, but I have to study the Black Hand and the Black Death." Bruce broke free from Selina's pull, got out of bed and started to put on clothes.
"Harry has already focused on this case. Just wait for the result and don't worry about it." Selina sighed.
Bruce paused, "What is she doing now?"
"Now?" Selena glanced at the clock, "It's almost one o'clock in the morning. She should be there. Well, today is Saturday, episodes 7 and 8 of Season 6 of "The Proud King of Valkyrie" will be aired on HBO Midnight Channel.
She has been following this historical fantasy drama for several years, and most likely she is watching TV with Fat Head and Ivy at the moment."
Bruce gave her a dull look, said nothing, and just speeded up getting dressed.
"Although Harley watches TV at night, as long as she works hard during the day, her efficiency will still surpass you." Selina said.
"I don't need to compare with anyone, I just do what I think I should do - who?"
Bruce looked at the window with a sharp look on his face.
At the same time, he quickly wrapped the bat belt around his waist and made a gesture to Selena on the big bed behind him: An enemy has invaded the manor, please protect yourself.
Selina first pulled up the sheets that fell on the floor to cover Chi Guoguo's graceful figure, and then shouted at the top of her voice: "Loach, loach, there is a thief, come and protect Bruce!"
Bruce said with a black face: "I can solve it."
"Whoosh~~" He saw a black shadow flash, and a muscular black dog half as tall as a man was already standing in front of him. He also assumed an attacking posture and made a threatening sound of "woo woo woo" at the window.
"Xiao Bu, Xiao Bu" a gentle female voice came from outside the window. Bruce was stunned there with a look of surprise and did not respond for a long time.
"Xiao Bu, Xiao Bu"
Another rich middle-aged male voice sounded, the tone was also extremely gentle, like a loving father calling his young son.
Bruce's eyes widened and he took a few steps, "Dad, mom?"
Selena looked confused.
"Woo~~" The loach bit his trouser leg, preventing him from moving forward.
Bruce patted its head, took a deep breath, and said, "Don't worry, I'm awake."
"Crash-" The glass window was smashed, and two people jumped out.
A female corpse wearing a tattered lace dress, and a male corpse wearing a tattered suit.
Their clothes were badly rotted, but the strange thing was that even though they themselves looked dead, their skin and muscles were very sound. Their skin was gray, and their muscles were dry and tight against the skeleton.
There are even eyeballs.
The eyes emit a faint black light, and there seems to be a rune with five bars below an upper triangle under the eyes.
"Dad, Mom, is it really you?" Bruce saw their faces clearly, and his voice was trembling.
"'Fear Emotion' is detected on the target character. Collect 'Fear'. The fear energy progress is 00000001%"
"'Angry emotion' is detected on the target person. Collect 'anger', anger emotion energy collection progress"
These two messages were not received by any living person at the scene.
"Of course it's us, Xiaobu, are you happy to see us?"
Martha showed a very gentle and terrifying smile, and asked in a loving voice.
"Oh my god, Wayne's old house is indeed haunted."
Selina screamed, wrapped herself in sheets, jumped out of bed, rolled and ran towards the door next to her.
Bruce ignored her, his eyes were red, and he growled: "Who is controlling you behind the scenes? Who is desecrating the remains of my parents?"
"We are your parents, Little Boo." Thomas Wayne said with a sly smile.
Bruce was about to roar excitedly when he suddenly felt a chill coming from his neck, and his hot brain suddenly cooled down.
He lowered his head and saw the teardrop necklace worn close to his body.
——My parents have been watching me and protecting me from heaven. The two corpses in front of me are definitely not them.
With this thought, he regained his composure and turned back into a wise Gotham detective.
Soon Bruce discovered a key clue: they both wore a sparkling black ring on their right index finger.
"Did this ring turn you into this?"
They did not answer his questions, nor did they glance at the rings on their fingers.
Martha lamented: "Xiao Bu, do you regard us as enemies?"
Thomas Wayne said angrily: "Bruce, you disappoint me so much——"
"Bang!" It didn't even finish a sentence of scolding before its head exploded.
Bruce looked sideways and saw a heavily armed "Robin Cat" striding out of the study.
Not only did she put on the second-hand Paradise Third Class armor, she was also covered in weapons, including a rifle in her left hand, an M60 general machine gun in her right hand, a bullet box the size of a schoolbag on her back, and a long string of melon grenades on her waist.
"Da da da da" she fired at the two corpses and shouted angrily to Bruce: "What are you talking about with them? Someone is obviously up to something."
Your parents' souls are in heaven, not to mention the black magician, not even Harley can bring them down to earth."
"Hey, don't break them. At least the bodies really belong to my parents. I recognize the brooches on them."
Just as Bruce screamed anxiously, he was horrified to see that their broken bodies were visibly restored to their original appearance.
"Splash, you are not worthy of being my son's woman."
Martha roared, then faced the machine gun fire and rushed towards Selena madly.
"Shit, my bullets have been soaked in holy water, why are they ineffective? Loach, come and help me." Selina panicked a little.
Bruce couldn't answer her question.
By now he was tangled up with the crazed "Thomas Wayne".
"Beep beep beep~~" At this moment, the watch on Bruce's right wrist sounded a rapid alarm. He took the time to press it and heard his real son Damian shouting anxiously and panicked: "Father, it's not good.
Dick's parents pretended to be dead and came back to life. They suddenly went crazy and dug out his heart.
The same goes for Jason, who also met his deceased mother.
Falk, I don't know what happened, and my exorcism bullets are completely ineffective against them."
"Dick him." Bruce's heart trembled, and his brain was instantly filled with endless sadness and anger.
"Careful!" Selena yelled in fear.
"Thomas'" palms turned into sharp claws, thrusting straight into Bruce's chest, where he was stunned.
