A team of scientists led by Peter dissolved the hallucinogenic drugs used to extract the mysterious components of plant toxins in orange juice, and distributed them in large quantities to the people at the bottom of Gotham, hoping that they could get rid of madness as soon as possible.
The clown gang, represented by Harley Quinn, follows their long-standing principle of watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously. They believe that people have the crazy right to enjoy freedom, so they constantly attack teams distributing orange juice.
At first, the scientists had little advantage, because most of the members of the Clown Gang were ruffians from the bottom of Gotham. They had the advantage of playing at home and targeted the trucks transporting orange juice to attack.
The members of the Clown Gang are also very smart. They often escape with one blow and do not spend unnecessary time killing people. They just take away the orange juice and delay the detoxification time.
The team of scientists took advantage of the situation and changed the original road transportation to using the vine roots controlled by Poison Ivy to transport orange juice through Gotham's sewers.
However, the members of the Clown Gang turned their attention to the vulnerable groups in the retail sector, that is, the children who were temporarily recruited due to lack of manpower. They attacked several welfare homes and robbed the orange juice there.
It would be fine if the two parties were just confronting each other, but in this chaotic city, there is never a clean stage, and no one consciously leaves space for the duelists. Most of them take advantage of the chaos to add fuel to the fire, for fear that
I don't add enough.
First of all, there is the Robin Gang, who have also been anesthetized, so they are not conscious enough. Their main source of confidence comes from the fact that Bat is not at home today, and their methods are like clowns saying they are awesome.
They mainly target the super criminals in Gotham, namely Batman's old enemies, Penguin, Riddler, Two-Face, as well as the Mad Hatter, Hugo and Ventriloquist who were imprisoned before.
, in short, it’s the Arkham team.
Since they also had some problems with their brains, their methods of punishing evil and promoting good were quite innovative, which made this group of super criminals who wanted to show off their talents while Batman was away miserable.
But super criminals are not vegetarians. After they reacted, they also launched their revenge against these ignorant birds, using all their strength to search for them in the city.
The fight between the Robin Gang and the criminals of Arkham Asylum also affected the team of scientists and the Clown Gang. This group of people got together, and the scene was so chaotic that it was unbearable to watch.
After destroying the orphanage with one punch, Clark, who was looking for other places to live for the children, listened to the children's chatter for a long time before he roughly figured out what was going on.
Anyway, the group of people selling orange juice and the gangsters from the Clown Gang had nothing to deal with, and for some reason, the Clown Gang chose to steal their goods.
Clark didn't know much about Gotham's villains, so he didn't guess from the children's descriptions of tree roots that Poison Ivy was the one who provided orange juice to the children.
But the roots are indeed an important clue, so Clark decides to go deep into the sewers to investigate what the culprit who provides drugs to children is planning in this dark place.
Gotham's sewers have a long history, and in Gotham, the word "long history" is not a complimentary word. It usually means that such things have been marinated in the darkness of this city.
As we all know, Superman's power comes from the sun, but there is no sun in the sewer, and energy cannot be replenished anytime and anywhere, which means battery life is a big problem. Clark knows he must solve it quickly.
His plan was to return to the ruins of the orphanage, enter the sewer entrance where the children carried orange juice, and head all the way to the east, entering the center of the slum through the sewer.
In this way, you can not only explore the secrets in the sewers, but also change the route and go straight to the Huanglong, so as to avoid encountering those Gothamites who are in a worrying mental state on the way into the Gotham slums.
The plan was good, but there was always a gap between the plan and the reality. Clark, who came from Metropolis, did not realize that the Gotham sewers were not just a public welfare facility, but there were more and darker secrets hidden there.
That's right, there was not even a second to mourn the fact that Batman abandoned Gotham and went to Washington to become a good president of the United States. What immediately came to worry about the chaotic and crazy mental state of Gotham people was - the Court of Owls!
In fact, it's not that they don't want to mourn. Theoretically speaking, the last person who wants Batman to leave Gotham is the Court of Owls. However, this long night is still a bit too fast for the Court of Owls.
Although the country is large, it will be in danger if it forgets to fight. The Court of Owls is accustomed to long-term planning, which leads to their insufficient ability to respond to short-term disasters. They are afraid of poison gas disasters, followed by plant toxin disasters, and then the military, FBI, and Wei
Wayne Group's three-way game, and then Bruce went to Washington. Finally, Wayne Group was forced into a desperate situation, and Batman wore the yellow robe.
This series of operations did not give the Court of Owls any time to react. When they woke up from their long hibernation, everything was settled.
And it’s not that they want to worry about the mental state of Gotham people, or that they are the culprits of Gotham people’s madness. After all, they are the ones who mixed in the dark metal in Gotham.
But now comes the problem. They added additives to Gotham's buildings in order to keep Batman busy fighting crime, causing him to fall into self-doubt and shake his will, giving them an opportunity to take advantage of him.
But now it is the Court of Owls whose will is wavering.
They didn't know why the group of people above them changed overnight from violent and crazy criminals to masters of manipulation who could die but couldn't live.
In the past, the dark atmosphere in Gotham was depressing, and most people were indifferent and numb. But in the past two months, it seems that this string has been suddenly broken, and things have begun to develop in the direction of black humor.
Suffering is never worthy of praise, but those ordinary people who can still enjoy themselves in the deep and dark suffering are always ridiculed as being ignorant of the past, but how come they are not contented in another sense?
Unaware, unable to change, bowing their heads and accepting their fate, they can surprisingly discover things from this humble and painful life that are worthy of their courage and risk. No matter the outcome is good or bad, they can feel happy from the bottom of their hearts, and even more
It's like a pilgrimage to verify human vitality.
This is not what the owl wants.
So this group of hidden nocturnal creatures squatted in their lair again and began to study what was going on.
Of course, they discovered that Gotham people could not have become like this out of thin air. The most likely thing was that someone else had drugged them, allowing them to completely break through the bottom line of madness. Even basic logic was gone, resulting in them not being able to behave well at all.
The earth has completed its crime, and the soil where darkness took root is gradually disappearing.
But then again, why are there still people trying to grab business after not seeing each other for several years?
People always have a kind of cognitive inertia, and when guessing the behavior of others, they will bring in what they have done before, which can be regarded as a kind of empiricism.
The Court of Owls believes that someone may have planned at the same time as them and mixed another poison into Gotham's buildings or other things. At this juncture, the poison exploded, leading to the current situation.
But guessing is just guessing, and a solution must be found. The owl priest, who was very angry about the current situation, slapped his forehead and grabbed a few test subjects to see if he could find an antidote.
But Bruce Wayne becoming president is also one of the factors that needs to be considered. After all, the members of the Court of Owls are all Gotham's dignitaries. It's not too late to embrace the new president, at least on the surface, they can't offend him.
Fortunately, owls also have their own way of moving. The sharp talons they have trained can fly between attics, and they can hide the traces of their actions with the help of the mezzanines they hide in various high-rise buildings.
Based on past experience, the Court of Owls sent a team of claws to arrest people in Gotham.
But they soon discovered that they lacked understanding of the Gothamites' ability to survive this time.
What would you do if you occasionally hear strange noises in your attic?
In the past, the people of Gotham could only go up with a gun to take a look and kill all the living things they saw. However, the Claws were obviously not afraid of guns, so their whereabouts were never exposed.
But this time, as soon as Talon, who was taking the suburban road, jumped into the attic of a house, he found that the place was filled with calf-deep piles of feces and urine.
The legs raised by the claws trembled slightly. Their uniforms were completely waterproof, but their spirits were not.
Finally, after investigation by Sharp Claw, the owner of this family connected the outlet of their sewer pipe to his attic.
The reason is also very simple. He claimed that someone will come to steal his urinal, and as long as he connects the sewer pipe to the attic, the other person will think that their toilet is in the attic, so when they look for it, they will
Step on the bear trap.
The most bizarre thing about this thing is that someone really came and stepped on it, and the other person was really a killer.
The owner of the house easily caught the claw that unfortunately stepped on the bear trap.
And it's not entirely their fault that the sharp claws stepped on them. Any normal person's first reaction after jumping into the window and stepping on the feces would be to retreat and run away, and the bear trap was placed under the curtain.
This has led to a very scary thing, which is that the owner's theory of the threat of urinal thieves has been verified, and now everyone in the entire community has connected their sewer pipes to the attic and filled the bottom with feces.
Got a bear trap.
When the Court of Owls learned the news, it was already too late. They actually lost four or five killers in this way before they realized they had to take a detour.
Don't ask why it was actually broken. The claws can indeed be resurrected, but the matter of fishing out the body from the excrement water and resurrecting the claws that were choked to death by the excrement water is a bit too advanced for the Court of Owls.
The second route they chose was to take the commercial street, which was to use the mezzanines hidden in high-rise buildings to observe the target they wanted to capture.
Fortunately, the employees of the company are not crazy enough to connect the sewer pipes to the mezzanine, and most of these companies are under the control of members of the Court of Owls. They can ask the employees to leave early after get off work, so that the building becomes vacant. Provides enough space for killers to move.
But this is an ideal situation. In fact, residents who have sewer pipes connected to their attics are not immune to the smell, but the reason they can live normally is that they don't go home at all.
In order to avoid getting shit on their heads, they live in the company.
The claws made the residents think that urinal thieves were real and that the trick of connecting sewer pipes to the attic and placing bear traps was effective, so they all imitated it and robbed their own homes.
It became a cesspit.
In order to avoid the deterioration of their living quality, they chose to live in the company, which caused the claws who were no longer needed in the suburban stronghold to reunite with them in the company building after a long separation.
