Harley walked over and took a closer look. The old woman had been beaten until her nose was bruised and her face was bleeding. She was tied up like a dead pig, and her hands and feet were tied to the legs and armrests of the chair with ropes.
“Harry, are you with them?”
Laurie's swollen eyes were barely open halfway, but his gaze was sharp and his tone was accusatory.
“It seems that you are also here for Dr. Manhattan. Since you have never thought of taking me to play, is it normal for me to cooperate with them?” Harley shrugged and grinned.
“Oh, how do you want me to take you?”
Laurie almost revealed that Harry knew about Joseph and Mark's affair.
"You are ambitious, profit-seeking, and cunning." After all, I have been doing sex for decades, and my reaction is very fast.
“If I tell you that someone is going to steal Joan’s power, and I ask you to cooperate with me to catch them all, you will most likely hit me unconscious with a brick, and then you go and steal it yourself.” Laurie said with a bitter smile.
Joseph glanced back and forth between the two of them and asked, "Laurie, where did you know about this? Even the president doesn't know about our plan.
There are only two or three people in the military involved, but they will never tell you."
Laurie was about to curse and be unyielding when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Hallie opening and closing her mouth, as if she was repeating Mark?
At this time, Harley was closest to Lao Rui, facing the chair, but Joseph and the others were behind Harley and could not see her expression.
“I got an email from Admiral Mark.” Laurie sighed.
“Impossible, he dreams of becoming a blue and black Manhattan, how could it be possible?”
At this point, Joseph was stunned.
Mark is dead.
“Damn it, this is what he left behind. If he doesn’t get it, he will destroy it.”
With his wisdom, he quickly figured out Admiral Mark's vicious thoughts.
Harry frowned deliberately and said, "Why don't you tell the U.S. government about this?"
"I don't even trust you, how can I trust other people? Especially the government and the military. If there is one General Mark, there must be a second and third one." Laurie said with a bitter smile.
This is what is in her heart.
The temptation of ‘the power of the hydrogen bomb’ is too great.
Other than her old lover, who would ignore the opportunity to become a god and run to rescue, worship, and serve another god?
"So, you bravely enter the tiger's den alone? Who gave you the courage?" Harley asked.
“How can I say that I am a watchman, but I can’t deal with these American ***?”
Laurie spoke impassionedly, but combined with her messy and sparse gray hair, bruised and wrinkled old face, and bloated figure, it was very unconvincing.
Harry turned to Joseph and said: "She is quite old. There is no need to be so strict. Let's untie the rope."
Joseph hesitated for a moment and said, "Harry, you have to remember that you have signed a sacred contract."
“Well, I remember.”
Joseph winked at the younger brother next to him, and immediately walked out of the two men to help Laurie untie him.
However, she was not freed and was taken to another air-conditioned office and locked up.
“How did you catch her?” Harley asked.
“She was very cautious but also very bold. She brought only two agents and came to the town of Tulsa, preparing to quietly find Dr. Manhattan.
It’s a pity that everyone here, from the mayor to the director to the street gang members, is ours.
She was trapped and captured by the director’s wife before she discovered Karl’s true identity.”
After that, he briefly described the changes in Tulsa Town after Harley went to Gotham.
The White Night incident was cruel, but it was not the first time it happened in Tulsa.
The last time was in the 1920s.
The town of Tulsa is the epicenter of racist violence.
But this is not the beginning of the last century.
The White Night Incident is in great conflict with the leftist values of the US government.
The government cannot ignore it.
As a result, Senator Joseph and a group of politicians stood up and established several laws specifically to fight against the "Seventh Cavalry".
It’s not about amending the U.S. Constitution, it’s the same as when Harley was mayor, it’s about new local laws.
Only for the city of Salta.
In the new "Anti-Racial Discrimination Law", in addition to financial compensation for black victims, what is more important is the "Police Mask Law".
That is to say, let the police officers fully imitate the cross-dressing heroes, concealing their appearance and identity.
Whether you are out on the job or sitting in the office, you always wear a mask and weird uniforms.
The police system has also become completely closed, and there are no more reporters or external communications.
As long as their identity is not exposed, police officers do not have to worry about retaliation when enforcing the law. In the White Night incident, the cavalry regiment took the list and purposefully raided the home of the black police officer, and they could devote themselves wholeheartedly to the battle against the cavalry regiment.
middle.
For example, Dr. Manhattan’s third wife, the black girl Angela.
During the White Night Incident, because of her status as a police officer, she was treated as a key target of care by the Cavalry Regiment.
After the White Night Incident, the mask law was promulgated. She ostensibly resigned from her position as a police officer and opened a bakery on the street. In fact, she went to work at the police station every day and was on duty as the 'Night Sister'. She wore a cool black leather nun.
Clothes.
This ‘police mask law’
It seems feasible in theory, but if you think about it carefully, you will understand that as long as there is an insider in the police system, the identity cannot be concealed.
It just so happens that the police officer thought that he was wearing a mask and his identity was hidden, and then he relaxed his vigilance, and then
However, the person who made this law was not stupid, but very wise.
Because this law was made by Joseph.
He is the head of the 7th Cavalry Regiment, but he builds himself into a hero of equal rights, fighting against the vanguard of red necks.
There is no need for a mole at all, all the masked police officers have his registration.
And Jude, the heroic director who led the police to directly confront the Cavalry, was also the leader of the Cavalry.
this
It’s literally darker than Gotham for black people.
The reason why Lowry was attacked was also because of the masking method.
Some time ago, the heroic Chief Jude led the police to destroy a den of the Cavalry Regiment. However, within a few days, he was intercepted and killed by the 'Cavalry Regiment' on his way home. The next day he was found hanged under a big tree on the roadside.
.
The heroic director-general died in the line of duty. There is no doubt that he is a true hero who resisted the cavalry regiment.
Except for the confused top brass of the Cavalry Regiment, everyone in Salta City thinks so.
Chief Jude is the only trustworthy person in Tulsa Town. All other police officers may be undercover.
Laurie, who came to Tulsa Town, also thought the same thing.
Then, when her secret investigation yielded no results, she went to the director's wife for information.
Then again, she fell
“So, you don’t know who killed Director Jude? Is there a third party involved?” Harley frowned.
“We don’t know his identity, but we have seen him. He is an old black man, he looks over a hundred years old.” A leader of the cavalry regiment said.
“Since he is a black man, there is no doubt that it is a vendetta. Not only did he discover Jude’s identity, he may also have noticed your plan to steal the power of the hydrogen bomb.
Alas, General Mark's back hand, the military of the power of Manhattan, Zhao Yu, who master the power of the spiritual power transformation, the old black killer "
Harry glanced at Giles and possibly the Archangel Gabriel.
“With so many uncertain factors intertwined, it’s doubtful that your ‘Cyclops’ plan will succeed.”
“This is exactly why we asked you to be our ‘strategist’. And it’s not ‘your plan’, it’s our plan.” Joseph reminded.
“Harley, you can even deal with aliens, so there will definitely be no problem this time.” The big white leader said excitedly.
“You look familiar, do we know each other?” Harley asked.
She had noticed before that he was looking at her very eagerly.
“Harry, I’m Clark, we were classmates, and you beat me up back then.” The big guy’s face turned red with excitement.
“Oh, Clark Thorne, you are now very promising, and your status in the cavalry regiment is not low.”
Harry was also a little happy to meet an old friend in her hometown.
“Hehehe” Clark giggled.
“Harry, I am also your classmate, two grades above you, ‘Ironhead’ Martin, do you remember? We had a fight.” Another big guy came over and said happily.
“And I, Thoros Sarn, I sit in the back seat of you, and you helped me beat up my dad,”
"Harry, me too"
There are about a dozen white boys in the Knights, and more than half of them are Harley alumni.
The other people are actually alumni, but they are too old, in their forties, and have not gone to school with Harley.
“Well, I haven’t seen you for many years. Everyone is now successful in their careers. I’m really happy.”
Looking at all the old classmates, Harry's expression began to look strange.
“Harry, compared to you, we are nothing!”
“Yes, even though you haven’t come back, we often see news about you on TV.”
“Haley, you are so cool, a five-ring general, a ball-protecting hero, and simply the best representative of high-quality white women.”
“Harry, I was panicking when I thought about what I was about to do. But now that you are here, I finally feel relieved.”
Being surrounded by many old classmates and complimenting her, Harley felt ridiculous that she could overthrow Joseph and become the boss of the cavalry regiment.
"Ahem, fellow cavalrymen!" Joseph clapped his hands and said loudly: "Reminiscing about the past can be left at the celebration party later, but now, the most critical step of the hunting plan is about to begin. Please return to your respective posts and wait for the deputy regiment
Chief Harry' gives final instructions."
“Deputy leader?” Harley wondered.
“Well, I have decided to appoint you as my successor, deputy commander of the Seventh Cavalry Regiment.
Everyone likes you very much and trusts you.
I also believe that you will live up to everyone's trust in you." Joseph said meaningfully.
Harry looked at the old classmates who had dispersed again, and knew in his heart that meeting them here was not a coincidence.
There is more than one middle school in the town of Tulsa, and the Seventh Cavalry Regiment will not recruit in just one school district.
By bringing in a group of her old acquaintances, she will of course work harder to ensure that the plan does not fail.
“What are you going to do next? Do you want to check the conversion equipment first?” Joseph asked.
"There's nothing to check, and I don't understand it either. Just take action." Harley said.
“You mentioned a lot of uncertainties before and the possibility that the plan might not succeed.” Joseph frowned.
“We are in the open, they are in the dark, no matter how careful we are, it’s useless. Capture Dr. Manhattan first. If we succeed, it means that we have the absolute initiative, and then I will make detailed plans.
If even the arrest operation fails, let’s forget about anything and just run away based on our ability.” Harley sighed.
Joseph nodded and led Harry and the others to the large warehouse behind the factory.
Thousands of square meters of warehouse, with a four-meter-long cubic cage placed in the center. The whole body is silver and is made of a metal frame and metal mesh.
It is very much like an enlarged chicken coop.
“This is the Faraday Manhattan Cage, the cage we prepared for God on earth.” Joseph said with a proud expression.
